A trip starting from the courtyard

Chapter 633 I'm Falling In Love With Your Girl
Following Wang Lidong's order, nearly a thousand soldiers with steel helmets on their heads and steel guns on their shoulders appeared all over the capital.

"The people of Song are coming!"

"Song people are arresting people!"

The usually bustling street suddenly became empty. The shops on both sides put up their doors, and the common people hid behind the windows, observing the movement of the Song army, praying not to rush into their houses.

After a while, seeing that the people of Song Dynasty were only going to the big families, some bold people couldn't help but ran out of the yard, hid a hundred meters away, and peeked at the excitement.

"The front is the son-in-law's house, why are these Song people arresting him?"

"The son-in-law is the former king's confidant, and I think he intends to kill the grass."

"Isn't that coming for us?"

"It doesn't look like"

During the arrest process, we encountered a lot of resistance, but in the face of cross-age weapons, the battle was one-sided without any suspense.
At nightfall, the Wanling Palace, Wang Lidong took it and did not hand over the list.

"My lord, the arrest operation in the capital has ended. A total of 1235 'rebels' and 3562 'Tongliao rebels' were arrested, and 45 taels of gold, 195 million taels of silver, 595 million copper coins, and jewelry were confiscated. Antiques and jade are useless”

Wang Lidong clicked his tongue.

Dozens of honorable and aristocratic families have only copied so much, and he is not as rich as he alone.

A bunch of poor people.

"After counting, pack everything into a box and take it with me when I leave."

Buwei nodded, and then asked, "A total of more than 9800 criminals have been arrested in the past two days. My son, how do we deal with these people?"

After thinking for a moment, Wang Lidong said, "They are all traitors, and they should be put to death according to the law. But God has the virtue of good life, so let them serve a lifetime of hard labor."

"Ok."

Wang Lidong tapped the handle lightly and said,

"After a month or two, you let people quietly release the news that if someone wants to redeem these people, they can take them away as long as they give you enough money.

The price? The three sons of the former king, 20 yuan each, 18 yuan for the captain, 18 yuan for the eldest princess, 16 yuan for the son-in-law, and so on. "

Not surprised, he said, "Young master, these people are rebels. If they are really going to be released, they will definitely contact the old ministry or the former king's confidantes, and then look for opportunities to rebel."

Wang Lidong laughed, "It is to let these people pull others to rebel together.

After these two days of arrest, the remaining forces will definitely be very submissive on the surface, but only they know what they think in their hearts.

It is not easy to dig out those who secretly hate us, or those who want to restore the country.

Just pass through these shit-stirring sticks to see which ones are people and which ones are ghosts. "

Bu Weixin nodded and said, "This is a good way. With our own intelligence network, we can have a two-pronged approach, and we can make a lot of money."

Wang Lidong took a sip from the teacup, and it smelled like Korean ginseng. He glanced at the man who was writing seriously with a pen, needless to say, it was definitely arranged by this guy, "Pick out all the marriageable women among the prisoners." .The guards staying behind in Korea this time, who want a wife, will give 10 dowry gifts and take them away."

"Young master, if you already have a wife, will you give it?"

"As long as you pay, you will be treated equally."

Buwei muttered, "In this way, it must not be enough."

The auction for the number of "Counterlord Ministers" was very successful.

That day, the Palace of Qinzheng was full of seats. A total of a hundred factions came, and the 14 places were not enough. After half a day of fierce competition, the 14 factions who spent the most money got what they wanted, and Wang Lidong also had a lot of money in his pocket. Out of 2525 million guan.

"My lord, all fifteen cargo ships have been inspected, and there is no problem. They will set sail on time in one hour." Buweihui reported.

Wang Lidong nodded, and patted Buwei's shoulder, "I'll leave Gaoli to you."

Buwei nodded and said, "Young master, please rest assured, I will guard Koryo well. Young master remembers to urge Qian to take care of things after going back, and ask him to step up."

Guanshi Qian, the person in charge of the staff department of the Four Seas Trading Company, the eldest brother of Wang Lidong's personal maid, Xia Zhu, was one of the first employees when the Four Seas Trading Company was first established six years ago.

Wang Lidong smiled and said: "After I go back, I will help you to implement this matter. This matter was reported three days ago. When I return to the capital, maybe all the people have been recruited, and maybe they have already set off. "

The Gyeonggi region where the royal capital of Koryo is located has an area of ​​about 1 square kilometers, slightly larger than Mingzhu City, and a population of about 30.

This time it was not put up for auction, but was left behind and became a direct-administered area of ​​the Governor's Mansion.

On the one hand, the garrison needs a base camp, and on the other hand, he plans to use this place as an internship base for reserve cadres, to prepare talents for future plans.

On the way back, Chief of Staff Gu Chengyi approached Wang Lidong, "Brother Heng, when do you plan to attack the Japanese kingdom?"

Putting down the books in his hands, Wang Lidong asked Zhiyou to pour a cup of tea for the chief of staff, "Third brother, you must be too impatient.

It's only been a few days since we took down Koryo, so we have to let the brothers go back and take a rest.

Although there were no major mistakes in this battle, many problems were also found.When we go back, we need to sum up the experience and lessons, and then find a way to solve all the problems. "

Chief of Staff Gu Chengyi's grandfather is the brother of his grandfather, the Marquis of Xiangyang. In terms of seniority, he is of the same generation as Wang Lidong. He is 45 years old this year and used to be the commander of the imperial army (commanding 25000 people).

Five years ago, during the Western Xia campaign, he was shot through the lung by an arrow, so he withdrew.Three years ago, Wang Lidong was preparing to form the Armed Forces Department, so he asked his grandfather, the Marquis of Xiangyang, for help. This was when he joined the Four Seas Trading Company.

Gu Chengyi said, "I plan to make a conscription plan.

According to the information collected in these years, the population of Wa country is almost 900 million, which is three times that of Goryeo.

As for the Jingshi Pinganjing, the area is not much smaller than that of our Song Dynasty Tokyo, and the population is estimated to be more than 90.

If you want to fully control the entire Heian capital, you need at least 2 garrisons.Now we only have a total of 3000 soldiers. After removing the [-] garrison in Koryo and [-] guarding the maritime base, there are only [-] soldiers that can be used. "

Wang Lidong thought for a while and then said, "How about this, when we go back, we will repair and expand the army at the same time, recruiting [-] new recruits first.

In addition, I will tell you not to recruit some Koreans over there to serve as servants. After half a year, you can transfer back 8000 to [-] people, and it will definitely be enough to put two or three thousand over there.If all goes well, I plan to eat Wa Kingdom in half a year. "

Two days later, in front of Wang Sheng Gate in Tokyo City, looking at the bustling streets through the window of the carriage and being familiar with Da Song Mandarin is still better at home.

The carriage came to a four-way house by the Jinshui River in the west of the city.After the car stopped, Wang Lidong took the three Korean girls out of the car, walked around the yard with the three of them, and asked, "What do you think of this yard? If you like it, this is your new home. If not, let's go to another place, but that yard is smaller than this one, and it's in the outer city, so it's not as lively as here."

After the three girls looked at each other, they said in unison, "Governor, let's just use this courtyard, we like it very much."

"Governor, can I choose these rooms randomly?"

"Choose whatever you want, this yard will be yours from now on, and you are the masters of the house."

盛府
Mo Lan, the fourth daughter of the Sheng family, walked into the hall of Wei Ruixuan, and saw four large square tables put together in the middle of the hall. A big square rosewood box.

Wang Shi was sitting at the table at this time, chatting with her nanny, her face was full of joy.

Little Wu Rulan was bent over, lying on a wooden bucket half the height of a person, holding a thin bamboo in her hand and poking into the bucket from time to time.

Xiao Liu Minglan stood obediently next to Rulan as usual, her eyes were a little dull, needless to say she was deserting again.

"Mo Lan met the eldest lady."

Wang stopped talking, glanced at Mo Lan who was dressed in pink, and hummed lightly.

"I've seen the fourth sister." Sheng Minglan quietly pulled the fifth sister, secretly complaining, just a few shrimps, and they have been playing for a long time.
Ru Lan stood up reluctantly, and said, "I've met Fourth Sister."

Mrs. Wang put down the tea bowl in her hand, pointed to the things on the two square tables, and said, "You sisters can choose the presents from the young master. If you like something, you can pick some and take them home."

At this time, the box on the square table has been half opened by Liu Kun's family.

The three sisters walked to the table, and saw that most of the boxes were filled with shiny things, pearls, rubies, topaz, yellow brushes, Korean ginseng, and then looked at a pile of furs piled up in one corner, leopard skins, sable skins, otter fur.
The three Lan looked at each other, and Ru Lan waved her hand vigorously, "Daddy always said that there is a distinction between relatives and estrangements, and that seniors and young are in order. Let the fourth sister choose first."

Mo Lan looked at the box of peanut-sized pearls in her hand. It was very rare that dozens of pearls were all round and almost the same size. If they were worn together, they should be worth seven or eight thousand guan. A piece of sable fur, this quantity should be able to make a large cloak. In a high-end fur shop in Tokyo, the price of such a piece is about [-] guan. There are also several boxes of gems.
After struggling for a long time, seeing Ru Lan's eyes looking at Pearl all the time, he had an idea, "Since the fifth sister has said so, then I, the older sister, will not be polite today." She took it and pretended The wooden box of pearls, reached out and picked the beads, "Good beads. I have always envied the string of pearls that my father gave my mother, now it's my mother's envy for me."

Ru Lan snorted softly. If Mo Lan died like this in the past, she would have blown her hair long ago, and she would have to kill her, but who made her happy today, she turned her head to Xiao Liu and said, "Little Sister, what do you like? Take your pick."

Sheng Minglan's eyes widened.

Taking a closer look at Ru Lan, a pair of eyebrows are almost flying to her forehead, what kind of happy event is this?

"Hey, Xiao Liu, what are you thinking." Ru Lan nodded at Ming Lan, "If you don't choose, I will."

Sheng Minglan hurriedly said, "Fifth Sister, let's choose first, I haven't made up my mind yet."

Now that Xiao Liu said so, Ru Lan was not polite, and directly asked for twenty pieces of sable skins, then Ming Lan asked for two boxes of gemstones of various colors, and then Mo Lan made a move, and took twenty pieces of mink skins
After half an hour, the three sisters had gained a lot.

Just as she was about to go back to each courtyard, Mo Lan suddenly caught a glimpse of the big wooden barrel leaning against the wall, and walked to the wooden barrel, "This is also from Brother Yuan Ruo?" She glanced at the inside of the wooden barrel, thinking what a treasure, It’s just a few beautiful shrimps, just like Rulan, a young girl who likes this kind of thing, “Recently, Auntie wants to eat garlic shrimps, so I want half of them. Fifth sister, won’t you be reluctant?” ?”

"Second Brother Heng gave it to me specially, but it's not for you. If you want to eat shrimp, buy it yourself." Ru Lan pushed Mo Lan away and stood in front of the big wooden barrel.

Sheng Minglan suddenly realized, no wonder!
"Impossible! You're lying!" Sheng Molan didn't believe it at all, "How could Brother Yuan Ruo give you a gift alone?!"

"The lord is back." Suddenly there was a rumor outside.

Sheng Molan glanced at the gate, saw the old man in a red robe, hurriedly lowered his head, and sobbed softly
"Hmph!" Ru Lan said contemptuously, "This trick again!"

"What's going on?!" Sheng Hong entered the hall, and saw his fourth daughter dripping tears, glaring at the proud Ru Lan, "Did you bully your fourth sister again!" Xiang Zheng greeted Wang who served him tea, and said coldly, "You are the eldest lady of the Sheng family, and you just watch Ru'er bully Mo'er?"

Seeing her mother being scolded for no reason, Rulan was immediately unhappy, and immediately jumped out, 'Balabala' reported everything that happened just now to the scumbag father who 'loves concubines and destroys wives'.

Sheng Hong looked surprised, "Is it really the gift from the little father-in-law alone?" These days, when a man gives a girl a gift alone, the meaning is very clear. I have a crush on your girl, if you agree, then send a signal, if you don't agree Close the door and let the dogs out!Over the years, Wang Lidong has been very close to his own Xiao Wu, but as his daughter got older, he became more and more unconfident.

There were two gift slips on the Wang family's floor, "Master, these are the gift slips sent by the young man today, one is for everyone in our family, and the other is for Ru Lan, who is said to be her birthday present." .”

Sheng Hong hurriedly took over Ru Lan's list, opened it, and found two things, "A set of clubs. 'Elephant Trunk Rock Shrimp' 36 pieces,'

Elephant Trunk Rock Shrimp, also known as King Shrimp, this name is a bit taboo in this day and age, if you really want to write 'King Shrimp' on the gift list, just let the mouse guts of Sheng Hong, absolutely dare not let Ru Lan eat it!

"Elephant Trunk Rock Shrimp, the name is a bit strange."

Wang said proudly,

"Officials, Fugui said that this shrimp is a special product of Goryeo. It costs a lot of money to buy one locally, and it will die when it comes out of the water. If it is transported from Goryeo to the capital, there will be no live shrimp left."

"Who is rich?"

"My little grandpa's new book boy."

"Why not?"

"I heard from Fugui that he was sent to the Four Seas Trading Company by the little father-in-law and became the chief manager of Taoism."

"That means it's not enough to prepare for cultivation." Sheng Hong looked at Xiao Wudao, "What is the cue written on the gift list?"

Ru Lan trotted into the next room with the big magpie, and after a while, the two of them, 'Hinz Hinz', carried an enlarged version of the golf club bag to the hall.

He untied the rope buckle, took a club from inside and handed it to Sheng Hong, showing off, "Daddy, Second Brother Heng gave me a set of 'Chui Wan' clubs specially made for me."

After receiving the cue, Sheng Hong looked it over carefully. The wood is made of golden nanmu, and the workmanship is very exquisite. On the handle of the cue, there are also engraved five characters of "special for five girls".

Handing the cue back to his daughter, Sheng Hong didn't know what to say.

This is the first time I saw someone give this thing as a birthday present.

But it can be seen that it definitely took a lot of thought.

Seeing Xiao Wuchu standing motionless in front of him, with an expression of 'quickly praise the cue, quickly praise the cue', Sheng Hong couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, "The cue is very good."
