"How to arrange it?" Qiao Jue asked, "I just packed hundreds of people for me yesterday. I can't let them live in Shenyuan, so I sent them all to the abandoned house on the west side."
Li Zhifeng said: "Let's live in the garden at the foot of the west side of the mountain, and live in a quiet place. You don't care about the rest, I will arrange it."
Qiao Jue nodded, and Li Zhifeng personally led people to arrange You Dechuan to live in the side garden. In this way, it would take two quarters of an hour to walk to the main hall, so you were not afraid of visiting Dechuan every now and then at night.
You Miao watched You Hange unloading things, seven large boxes in the car, and You Dechuan personally carried a copper lock box. You Miao knew that all the money his father had saved over the years was there. Just don't know how many.
In the past, he always felt that You Dechuan’s money could not be spent, but when he ran a villa, he gradually began to have a certain amount of income. You Dechuan only produces tea, and sells tea in Liuzhou, with more than 20,000 silver coins per year. . Back then, he gave You Miao a few thousand taels to go to Beijing, but he couldn't say that he didn't like him.
And the box in Yu Dechuan's hand, at least 80,000 taels of silver.
Judging by You Hango's expression, he probably didn't even know how much his father had. You Miao knew that You Dechuan was very concerned about Qian Yiyi, so he couldn't possibly guard against his brothers - after all, the old man only had so much money to rely on. So You Miao didn't go to inquire about You Dechuan's money, and pretended not to know, as if he was poor and he came to rely on his son.
On the contrary, Li Zhifeng generously gave You Hango two hundred taels of silver for the flowers in his room, and then asked Cheng Guangwu to buy a servant girl for the three of You Hange.
"We don't eat in one place on weekdays." Qiao Jue instructed: "I will hire someone in the kitchen to cook three meals a day for my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law is also old, and the supplement that should be made up cannot be saved."
This is obviously for You Dechuan's consideration, but in fact, it is enough to let him eat in his own yard, don't come over and have a table with You Miao. You Miao was amused. After settling You Dechuan, grains of rice were still flying around while eating, and he waved his chopsticks to say this.
There was a smile in Li Zhifeng's eyes, but he didn't speak.
Qiao Jue said: "I want to teach him a few words, I'm afraid you won't be able to save face."
You Miao: "Forget it, forget it... That's it. It doesn't matter if he comes and lives here."
That night, while You Miao was reading a book in the study, someone came to report that a guest was coming.
The person who came was Ping Xi, who was waiting in the hall, while Li Zhifeng was entertaining the guests. You Miao was copying a familiar book from memory, and when she heard Ping Xi coming, she didn't lift her head and said, "Let him wait."
Now, whenever there are guests, Li Zhifeng is always in the Jiangbo Villa to receive them. Qiao Jue has no official position, so when he sees an official, he has to bow and avoid it. And Li Zhifeng's hospitality is the most worry-free. The guests don't say a word, and Li Zhifeng doesn't speak. In order to avoid someone who doesn't know each other, everyone beats each other to death.
After You Miao finished copying the book, he took the still-inked copy and went out. Ping Xi and Li Zhifeng were sitting facing each other drinking tea. When Ping Xi saw You Miao coming, he got up and said, "Why don't you go into Yangzhou Mansion?"
You Miao said: "I just came back, I just don't want to move."
Pingxi said: "Everyone is waiting for you, only if you are missing, everyone will be there."
You Miao looked at Ping Xi with a smile, came over to sit down, and Ping Xi said again: "The matter of moving the capital has been agreed, and Brother Li has also released his slave status. The Ministry of War is waiting for the two of you to take office."
You Miao and Li Zhifeng looked at each other, You Miao asked, "Are you going?"
Li Zhifeng shook his head and said, "If you don't go, neither will I."
You Miao Chaoping smiled and said, "We're not going."
Pingxi's face changed slightly, he couldn't help but re-examine You Miao, You Miao rolled up his sleeves, went to drink tea on his own, and said, "The Third Highness asked you to come?"
Pingxi shook his head, and Youmiao said, "I haven't been in good health recently, and my father moved to the villa again. I have to spend some time taking care of my father..."
Pingxi then remembered and said, "Yesterday, I heard that there was a discussion in Yangzhou City, saying that you abandoned your previous hatred and took your father home, and you haven't met your uncle yet..."
You Miao's mouth twitched and said, "Forget it."
Ping Xi was embarrassed, neither sitting nor standing. You Miao simply said: "Let's not talk about officialdom, what else did you say besides asking me to go back to work?"
"I didn't say anything." Pingxi had no choice but to say honestly, "His Royal Highness didn't say anything, it was Li Yan who asked me to ask."
You Miao said, "Let Li Yan come by himself."
Pingxi said: "His leg is injured, and he is not fully recovered."
You Miao pondered for a moment, knowing that they had entered Yangzhou the day before yesterday, and Li Yan and the others only sent Pingxi up when they heard the wind. You Miao asked again, "What did the Third Highness say?"
Pingxi said: "He is discussing with your husband, the governor of Yangzhou, about moving the capital. Everyone is here today, but you are missing."
You Miao knew that this was going to help Zhao Chao to become emperor, and asked, "When will you be enthroned?"
Pingxi said: "I don't know, there is no money in the treasury, so it can only be paid from the treasury of Yangzhou House. The Ministry of War was the first to rise, and everything has been restored. Zhao Chao asked me to come to you two, and wanted Brother Li Zhifeng to lead the troops, General Nie. After the last incident, I was demoted. Now the military defense position of the Yangzhou Army is still vacant... "
"Let me be a foreigner as the commander-in-chief of the soldiers." Li Zhifeng said, "Are you Han people at ease?"
There was silence for a while, Ping Xi thought for a moment, then said, "It's the Third Highness who tried to use you."
"No need." You Miao said, "Neither of us want to enter the DPRK right now."
Ping Xi is also a smart person, so he nodded naturally, and asked You Miao: "Since you don't want to go, let me ask again, do you have any recommendations for the Ministry of Housing candidates?"
You Miao thought for a while and shook her head.
Pingxi hesitated for a long time, and finally seemed to be ruthless, and said, "borrow some more money, my brothers sent me to find you to fight."
You Miao laughed out loud, almost knocking over the teacup, and said while getting up, "You said earlier to borrow money, you don't need to talk about it for a long time."
Pingxi's forehead was full of sweat, and Li Zhifeng said, "I'll go get the money."
You Miao didn't ask him how much he took, but asked Pingxi, "Is there enough silver in Jiangnan?"
"Not enough." Pingxi said: "It's a long way off, you need to eat and wear, you need to raise troops, you need to recruit troops, you need to build a palace, you have a bunch of things left, and all of them need money. "
When he was talking, Li Zhifeng brought five two hundred taels of silver notes, Ping Xi took it, and said with relief: "Thank you for this, it's just the time for flowers."
You Miao said: "You're welcome, but there's not much money left in the villa... My father's village was sacked by the war again and was looted..."
Pingxi didn't know about You Miao's family, so he hurriedly wrote an IOU and thanked him for going back. You Miao wanted to keep him overnight, but Pingxi was busy going back to assign things the next day, so he said goodbye.
