Chapter 872: Take a shower

Views:

[Starting 'FL' on the 1st of this month, I really can't get enough of it. Fortunately, it will finally be completed tonight, and I will try to resume the two watch tomorrow. 】

The stars moved, and it was time for a routine rest.

This morning, Sun Shaozong hugged his daughter and followed Xiang Ling, who was very interested, as he inspected the two small courtyards that were about to be redecorated.

Women always seem to have an unreasonable interest in things like home design, especially a woman like Xiang Ling, who is a little literate.

From the second day of junior high, after she handed over the interior design of the two courtyards to her, Xiang Ling's petite body radiated amazing vitality.

I don’t know how much I spent on the sketches of stream of consciousness these days, and I also asked someone to buy professional books such as “Wooden Classic” and “Building French Styles”, which seems to be a posture of in-depth study.

It was Sun Shaozong who reminded her tactfully that he would enter the house by the end of the year at the latest, and even if Xing Xiuyan was later, it would not exceed the spring of next year.

Besides, I just want to re-decorate, not to tear down and rebuild, just refer to some internal styles, there is absolutely no need to study civil engineering systematically.

Only then did Xiangling adjust the plan and plan to imitate the Grand View Garden of Rongguo Mansion and arrange it according to local conditions - of course, in terms of the degree of luxury, it certainly cannot be compared with the Grand View Garden.

It's not that the Sun family can't afford the money, because they have seized a lot of money in Wuxi Prefecture, and the remaining wealth on the Sun family's account is probably more than the sum of the two Rongning houses.

But as the saying goes, 'Do not suffer from widowhood, but suffer from inequality', these two courtyards are too extravagant, but where are Ruan Rong, Ping'er, and Second Sister You

However, Xiangling may not be able to understand this truth.

It just so happened that Sun Shaozong was free today, so he accompanies her to visit on the spot, and by the way, he also set the major policy for her: it doesn't matter how much you spend, but at least on the surface, it can't exceed the original courtyard by too much.

With Xiangling's temperament to go with the flow, naturally she won't care about this.

After carefully writing down Sun Shaozong's instructions, she was enthusiastic again, carrying carbon strips and pamphlets, drawing and scribbling in the house.

Sun Shaozong was really not interested in decoration, so he simply took his daughter to play nearby.

However…

The little girl seems to be more willing to play with the nanny, but she dislikes her own father in various ways.

In the end, Sun Shaozong could only step back angrily, thinking helplessly: Could it be that he always wakes her up with a beard recently, and is hated by this girl

Touching the tiny whiskers under his jaw, Sun Shaozong was thinking about whether to change the way of expressing his father's love in the future, when a mother-in-law hurriedly came over and presented the latest issue of Di Bao.

This is what Sun Shaozong explained long ago.

Because it has been five days since the memorial of "Public Law Going to the Countryside" was presented on the second day of October, but the cabinet and the emperor have never responded.

This is actually a common occurrence. After all, the more important a decision is, the longer it will take to demonstrate.

But after all, it's about himself, plus Li Wenshan's daily urges like ants in a hot pot, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but be a little restless.

Later, I heard people say that before the formal discussion of this kind of policy, there may be a briefing on the newspaper. Sun Shaozong specially explained yesterday that as long as there is a new issue of the report to the house, it will be taken immediately. Take a look at yourself.

only…

He tossed and searched for a long time in the newspaper, but there was no news of "Public Law Going to the Countryside".

On the contrary, the full text of the letter to the DPRK the day before yesterday was published in this newspaper.

However, he said that Sun Shaozong's speculation may have some discrepancies in the details, but part of it soon became a fact.

On the fourth day of October, the court, after repeated and thorough investigations, determined that Li Enxian's death was caused by poor management within the North Korean embassy and had nothing to do with Da Zhou.

But after all, he died in the Great Zhou territory, and our Celestial Dynasty is known as the state of etiquette.

Therefore, at the suggestion of the cabinet, the court should be invited by Li Enxian during his lifetime, and prepare to raise the division north next year to clear the land road 'barrier' to North Korea.

At that time, it will naturally be inevitable, and it is necessary to urge the Korean state to raise troops to respond to the king's division.

For this response, Sun Shaozong was quite puzzled at first. After all, with the current situation of the imperial court, if he wanted to allocate salaries and salaries for soldiers and horses within two years, and completely wipe out the Jurchens in Liaodong, he was afraid that he would not be able to do it.

If it is just to deter North Korea, so hastily attacked, is it not afraid that the entire northern Xinjiang will be eroded due to the small loss

However, after he carefully read the full text of this publication, he found that the whole article was 'Ploughing the Road', and there was no mention of Liaodong Jurchen at all, and it suddenly dawned on him.

It turns out that there is such a slapstick operation!

Although the imperial court does not have the ability to pacify the Liaodong Jurchen in one fell swoop, it is not difficult to send a team of officers and soldiers to 'open up' the road to North Korea.

Especially now that the Japanese rebellion in the southeast is coming to an end, at that time, it will be possible to mobilize an appropriate amount of elite troops to march toward North Korea along the Bohai Bay, and then lower a fleet from Prince Tenghui to the north to be responsible for the supply of food and grass along the way.

All in all, there is still a lot of room for action.

How to deal with it specifically depends on the attitude of the DPRK and China bosses, as well as the changes in the situation in Liaodong and North Korea.

But he said that after studying this credential several times, Sun Shaozong wanted to see what other news, but he never thought that someone would come over to report, saying that the prince sent someone to ask for an interview.

Sun Shaozong was stunned. While wondering if the prince had encountered any problems recently, he hurriedly greeted Xiang Ling and hurriedly greeted him in the front hall.

As a result, after asking carefully, I realized that the prince was going to Wangjiang Tower for entertainment tonight, and specially invited Sun Shaozong to go with him.

Although it has long been known that the 'famous characters' of Liyuan this year are not much worse than the traffic niches of later generations, Sun Shaozong obviously underestimated Jiang Yuhan's influence.

From the beginning of the month, the Wangjiang Tower was full of people, whether it was princes, nobles or tycoons.

Not to mention maintaining this momentum, as long as half of the current income can be maintained in the future, the annual profit can catch up with the official business of the Sun family and Wang Xifeng!

Less gossip.

Hearing that the prince was going to Wangjiang Tower, Sun Shaozong hurriedly asked, "I don't know if I should ask this official to come forward and wrap up the Wangjiang Tower in advance, so that someone will not accidentally bump into His Highness?"

"It doesn't have to be."

In front of Sun Shaozong, the servant of the prince's family put his posture extremely low, bowed his body and said with a smile: "The prince's intention is to have fun with the people - but the empress and the prince will also be present, and the adults will need to take care of them. "

The princess and the prince are also going to Wangjiang Tower

This is a bit interesting. It seems that the prince is not simply interested in Wangjiang Tower, but is prepared to take the opportunity to enhance the existence of the 'Prince Prince' according to his previous suggestions.

"Besides that, is there anything else that I should pay attention to?"

"There should be nothing else—oh, yes! Uncle Guo and King Beijing and his wife are also invited."
