Chapter 37 Rebuilding the Third Camp of the Capital
Wang Ying saw Mrs. Ye, still holding her child, and was stunned for a moment. Lin Cunde hurriedly went over, raised his hands to Wang Ying and said: "I have met Shibo, Second Sister-in-law, this is Shibo, the commander of the troops and horses of the Zhongsuo, Jin Yiwei." The commander is also the father of my fiancée! Just call me Shibo!"

Ye was stunned. She knew that Lin Cunde's future father-in-law would be a high official, but she didn't expect him to come home.So he hurriedly hugged the child and bent down to salute: "I've met Uncle Shi!"

"Hey, hello, nephew, is there someone coming from your hometown?" Wang Ying looked at Lin Cunde in surprise and asked.

"I came here the day before yesterday and went back early in the morning. They came here specifically to tell me that my grandfather is still in good health. They told me not to go back in a hurry and just study in peace. They also left my second cousin and second cousin-in-law here to take care of me. !" Lin Cunde responded immediately.

"Oh, you kid, you didn't know how to send someone to the house to announce your arrival. Why do I need to entertain this kid?" Wang Ying nodded to Lin Cunde and said anxiously.

"It doesn't matter, the new year is coming. Originally, I wanted to let them rest for a few days, but they didn't rest. They will come again after next spring!" Lin Cunde explained to Wang Ying.

"You, this matter has not been done. I am still surprised. I wonder if you go back, why will you send someone to the house to say something? By the morning, no one has come, and your aunt has prepared a lot of things for you. , I thought something was wrong later, so I came here to have a look!" Wang Ying said to Lin Cunde.

"This is my nephew's fault. I thought I didn't go back, so I didn't notify him in advance. Unexpectedly, my uncle and aunt were worried!" When Lin Cunde heard this, he was indeed negligent and did not notify him in advance.

"It's better if you don't go back. Your bones are too weak. If you catch the cold, you'll be in trouble!" Wang Ying said happily to Lin Cunde at this moment.

He was confident that Lin Cunde would not go back. The day before yesterday, when he went to the palace, the Queen Mother said that Her Majesty was very satisfied with Lin Cunde and hoped that Lin Cunde could continue to help with advice in the future.When Wang Ying heard this, she was very happy. Her second son-in-law was not bad at all!
"Yes, Shibo, let's drink tea inside! Second sister-in-law, I'll go in first!" Lin Cunde said hello to Ye.

"Hey, you go in and chat, there are children here, it's very noisy!" Mrs. Ye also said with a smile. She also knew that the middle-aged man in front of her was the father of the current queen, but who could afford to offend him?

Soon, Lin Cunde invited Wang Ying to the study. After Qiu Shuang made tea for them, he went out and accompanied Ye to take care of the child.

"You kid, if anything happens at home in the future, please remember to come to the mansion to inform me that you won't go back. You don't know that His Majesty frightened the civil servants at the court yesterday. Now, those civil servants want to unite and hope that the Ministry of War can control the capital. The Third Battalion, His Majesty's words left them speechless. The Third Battalion of the capital was handed over to the Governor's Mansion. It was an ancestral system. Your Majesty did not dare to violate the ancestral system.

As soon as these words came out, none of the civil servants could find anything to refute, even Yu Qian fell silent. Now, the Ministry of Revenue said that there was no money, that it might be difficult to raise military pay this year, and hoped that the reconstruction of the third battalion of the capital could be postponed! "Wang Ying smiled and introduced the situation in the court to Lin Cunde.

"How much does the Third Battalion of the Capital cost each year?" Lin Cunde heard this and asked with a smile.

"Hehe!" Wang Ying smiled and patted Lin Cunde's shoulder and said: "Don't worry, no problem. These soaps and soaps are selling very well now. We can't produce them now. With this money, the Queen is more confident now I’m going to tell His Majesty in the next few days that the money for the Third Battalion of the Capital will come out of the royal treasury first. No matter what, we will form the Third Battalion of the Capital!”

"Oh, enough?" Lin Cunde also looked at Wang Ying in surprise and said.

"Of course it's enough. The third battalion of the capital is about 17 troops. The soldiers plus food and drink are 50 taels. The officers' military salary is paid by the Ministry of War. In the first year, we need to purchase a lot of weapons and armor, horses and other supplies, as well as food and grass. I It is estimated that 100 million taels is enough for the first year!

I asked Wang Xin about our soaps and soaps. Today, we can produce soaps and soaps worth 4 yuan each day. That is worth 500 taels, and the cost is less than [-] taels. If you think about it, it is still not enough for the Third Camp of the Capital. money? "Wang Ying smiled and calculated it for Lin Cunde. When Lin Cunde heard it, he was right.

"But this matter needs to be explained clearly to His Majesty. Now that the national treasury is in difficulty, the internal treasury's support for the construction of the Third Battalion of the Capital is only needed for emergencies. After one year, the Ministry of Revenue will still need to provide money! Otherwise, there will be few funds from the Ministry of Revenue. I have incurred a large amount of expenses, and I don’t know where this money will go in the end!" Lin Cunde thought about it and reminded Wang Ying.

"Yes, you are right, the army is a matter for the court, not for the royal family!" Wang Ying nodded after hearing this.

"Well, I have something to remind you. People outside know that I have something to do with this soap. Of course, they also know that this soap belongs to the Queen. Therefore, during this period, those officials have been asking for help, and they want to help them get familiar with it. Merchants take soaps and soaps, and as long as they get them, they make money. I have also approved a few notes, so I am a very familiar person.

But if other members of my Wang family come to you, you must not agree, remember! "Wang Ying sat there and said to Wang Ying solemnly.

"Ah?" Lin Cunde was surprised. What use could the rest of the Wang family have for him?

"Humph, they know now that I am rich. The day before yesterday, Wang Quan, an old bastard, actually wanted to invite me back. I said that even after he died, I didn't even want to go back. I was short of money before and asked them to borrow money. They ignored me, helped other people, and bullied me. Now that they know I can make money, they want to curry favor with me? Go live in their spring and autumn dreams!" Wang Ying was cursing very proudly at this moment, with a bad breath in his heart. But a lot came out.

"Uncle Shi, this, this is inappropriate!" Lin Cunde looked at Wang Ying awkwardly and said, what could he say when his future father-in-law scolded his own father in front of him?
Wang Ying smiled and patted Lin Cunde on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry about this matter. I have not dealt with them since I was a child. I have no feelings for them. Don't tell me here. I have scolded them many times on the street. It doesn't matter!
By the way, when the dividends are paid, buy a big house. Remember, there are many big houses nowadays. You suggested that the Queen get a dental clinic. It has already been done. When the time comes, I will go to the Queen and sell you a good house at a cheap price. , remember, don’t spend it indiscriminately! "

"Here, we haven't even gotten the money yet!" Lin Cunde also looked at Wang Ying dumbfounded. "In the warehouse, we will distribute dividends during the New Year. We must distribute dividends before the end of the year. I told the Empress that you don't have much money at home, so why should you allocate some money for the New Year? Empress, you are responsible for the management and dividends. Hey, if you get dividends, you can buy a house. When the money is not enough, you can take my share!" Wang Ying said happily.

"Okay, if you get dividends, you have to buy some!" Lin Cunde nodded with a smile.

"That's right. It's better if you don't go back. If you don't go back, I have something to do. There are still people to discuss it. By the way, has Xiaozhi come to chat with you during this time?" Wang Ying said and looked at Lin Cunde and asked.

"No, I don't know what he is doing. I also want to find him. I'm afraid that he will mess around with those people outside and have a bad influence!" Lin Cunde immediately shook his head and said, feeling the same worry in his heart.

After hearing this, Wang Ying gritted her teeth and cursed: "I think this kid deserves a beating. I have to give him a beating at night. What's the use of hanging around with those people every day!"

"Shibo, just talk, don't fight, Xiaozhi is not young anymore!" Lin Cunde quickly advised.

"What do you know? He should be beaten. Every day I can't find him! Don't persuade him, and don't speak for him. This kid just deserves a beating!" Wang Ying said to Lin Cunde, who nodded helplessly.

Wang Ying sat here for a while and then left. Lin Cunde just sent him to the door of the study, but Wang Ying refused to send him away, fearing that Lin Cunde would catch a cold.

In the evening, Dajia and Cunyi also used a carriage to drag the tea table back. They found a few people from outside and moved them into Lin Cunde's study together. Lin Cunde asked them to install it next to the stove. After everything was installed, they didn't know what to do. What's the use? I just thought it was used by Lin Cunde to read and write.

After Dajia and the others went out, Lin Cunde sat next to the tea table, found a small bamboo pipe, opened it for water diversion, and then sat there and started making tea.

Qiu Shuang felt that this was very strange, but when she saw Lin Cunde drinking a small cup of tea, she also started to learn. That night, Lin Cunde sat at the tea table and read a book, reading by himself from time to time. Qiu Shuang just saw that there was no water in the kettle. Go get water.

Lin Cunyi also finished his work and returned to the bedroom. Lin Cuunde had someone install a stove in his bedroom. The bedroom was now very warm. The child was wearing very little clothes and was crawling on the bed.

Lin Cunyi saw his son crawling on the bed and said with a smile: "Don't tell me, spending the winter here is more comfortable than in my hometown. Look at this boy!"

Lin Cunyi said and went over to tease his son.

Mrs. Ye came over and whispered: "Guess who I saw today?"

"Who?" Lin Cunyi asked nonchalantly.

"Queen Wang's father, he came here not long after you and Dajia went out. He was very kind and seemed to treat fifth brother well!" Ye said in a low voice.

"Ha!" Lin Cunyi smiled.

"Why are you laughing?" Ye said, pushing Lin Cunyi dissatisfied.

"You, you can work here with peace of mind. Dajia said something to me today, which makes me feel lucky. Fortunately, my grandfather arranged for us to come here!" Lin Cunyi looked at Ye with a smile.

"What did you say?" Ye asked very curiously.

"Dajia said that the fifth brother is not as simple as he seems. The family's income is not low, and there are not many people in the capital who dare to provoke the fifth brother!" Lin Cunyi said with a smile.

"Huh?" Ye was surprised, but after thinking about it, he and the emperor were brothers-in-law.

Lin Cunyi continued: "This is the capital city. There are so many dignitaries and dignitaries. Not many people dare to provoke the fifth brother. Think about it, let alone the capital city, even in Ji'an Prefecture, people who have reached this level are the ones you and I can provoke. of?"
