Chapter 1097 It’s a matter of course
Hua Wan did not answer immediately, but picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, as if she was hiding something or organizing her words.
After a while, she finally spoke:
“I want to buy a piece of land in Chang’an City and build a big yard.”
Then she looked at Feng Junhou and emphasized: "The location is better."
"You are a general, in charge of the entire Guanzhong, and now you are helping His Majesty build a palace. You must know best where the best place is."
Hearing this, Feng Junhou glanced at the young lady with slight surprise.
Then he smiled again: "Don't say this nonsense, I am not a general."
Hua Wan curled her lips: "It will happen sooner or later. Now all the Han people know that even the general who controls the east and the general who controls the army cannot compare to you."
“Just tell me, are you willing to help me?”
What Feng Junhou didn't expect was that this little lady from the southern barbarians would have such advanced awareness.
Even though Chang'an is still in ruins now, it will be the capital of the Han Dynasty in the future. In time, the land will definitely be the most expensive in the Han Dynasty.
After the emperor moved the capital, any house in a good location in the city, let alone ordinary people, even officials in the capital, unless they were dignitaries, might not be able to buy it.
Even if you have money, it’s still unclear whether you are qualified or not.
From this aspect, Feng Junhou sat in Guanzhong and had full authority to deal with the construction of the Emperor's Palace. He was really holding a basin full of gold.
As long as you are thick-skinned and cunning enough, and get yourself a few good pieces of land, you can earn enough to eat and drink for a lifetime even if you do nothing in the future and just sell them directly.
Of course, Feng Junhou doesn’t like money, he prefers to scatter coins.
So this is one of the reasons why the palace completely left this matter to him.
Feng Junhou didn't want to make money from this, but it didn't mean that he wouldn't use a few pieces of land to sell favors.
“I can help you with a little effort, but you have to tell me clearly. Why do you want to build a yard in Chang’an?”
Hearing this, Huawan’s eyes widened immediately:
“Don’t you know that His Majesty is planning to come to Chang’an? My master and grandma will definitely come with me by then, so I will naturally make preparations for them in advance.”
Feng Junhou raised his eyebrows:
“How did you know about this?”
Hearing this, Hua Wan looked at Feng Junhou in a strange way:
“It’s spread all over Shuzhong, okay? Even the children know it.”
Huh?
Is this preparing public opinion for moving the capital?
“Oh, that’s it! Okay, I’ll show you a few places then to see how much land you want, and let me know after you think about it.”
Feng Junhouhun said nonchalantly: "I will ask someone to apply for a land deed document for you later."
Then he emphasized: "When you get the paperwork, remember to bring the money slip."
After familiarity comes familiarity, but official matters must still be done in a public manner.
At present, large-scale transactions within the Han Dynasty basically use money tickets.
Except for the Dahan Reserve Bureau, no one in the world has been found to be able to imitate this kind of banknote.
With the endorsement of the Xinghan Association and the Han government, the face value of the banknotes is very strong.
Even outside the Han Dynasty, many people recognized this ticket.
Especially within the territory of Wu State.
I heard there is a premium price in Wuchang.
There is no other way, Emperor Wu is planning to mint another batch of big money.
Iron, face value one thousand.
In the past, there was just a little less copper and the coins were a little thinner.
Later, other things began to be mixed into the copper.
Later, copper was added to other things.
Now we simply don’t even add copper, and use pure iron directly.
A big iron coin with a face value of one thousand, I asked you if you are afraid of it?
As far as Feng Junhou knows, Captain Chang Kaishen has also done this.
It’s just that the name of the currency is nicer, it’s called gold yuan coupons.
Then, the 4.3 million-strong army with aircraft and cannons, Captain Chang, who said "the advantage is mine", was pushed back by the 1.27 million troops with millet and rifles.
Because the people hate gold yuan coupons, even if they use a pushcart, they still have to push 1.27 million to defeat Captain Chang who "has my advantage".
So although Feng Junhou had promised the prime minister in his early years, he could let the court arrange for people to enter the Han Dynasty Reserve Bureau.
But it can only be for supervision and cannot interfere with the vote printing process of the Dahan Reserve Bureau.
The first type of banknotes in China's history also originated from Shu, and it was Jiaozi in the Song Dynasty.
But since the birth of Jiaozi, no government in the past dynasties has been able to restrain the instinctive impulse to print votes.
If one day, the court really wants to force the Dahan Reserve Bureau to print more banknotes, Feng Junhou will definitely ask Xinghan to spin off the Dahan Reserve Bureau immediately.
If it is not allowed, then he will break away from the Xinghan Society and let the capable person be the leader.
Of course, it is estimated that this will not happen in Feng Junhou’s lifetime.
Jihan, which has just been on the rise, is also nurturing new productivity internally. It is unlikely that there will be major financial risks in the foreseeable time.
So in places where there are Xinghan Hui strongholds, money notes are one of the most trustworthy currencies besides five baht coins.
The Lady Hua has traveled all over the world in recent years, so naturally she has carried a lot of money with her.
At this time, hearing Feng Junhou’s instructions, his eyes rolled a few times:
“It’s easy to talk about money tickets, but for this location, I haven’t finished my requirements yet.”
“What else are you asking for?”
"I saw your appearance just now, and it seems that you know the way here very well. Why don't you tell me first where your home will be located in the future, and I will buy a lot next to your home."
Feng Junhou glanced at her sideways:
"You have to think carefully. You just called me General. From now on, the people around my house are not ordinary people. If someone really takes a fancy to your house, you might have to move again. Home."
Who is Meng Huo?
The leader of the Nanzhong rebellion was later forced to surrender to the Han Dynasty. He was originally a target to be guarded against.
Giving him the position of Yushi Zhongcheng is just for good looks, and at the same time, he also wants to use the name of the Meng family to appease the barbarians in Nanzhong.
As the Xinghanhui develops Nanzhong more deeply, the role of the Meng family will only become smaller and smaller.
The smaller the role, the lower the status.
Although there is still Meng Yan in the army.
But those who have the ability to persecute the Meng family are naturally qualified to know the relationship between Meng Huo and Meng Yan.
Besides, the current Han army does not rely as much on the Nanzhong Yi people as it did in history.
Meng Yan's promotion may be affected because of Meng Huo's relationship.
Over the years, Huawan naturally knew that his lord seemed to have an honorable official position in Jincheng, but in fact, he was just a sinecure.
Even on weekdays, I am a little cautious and don’t dare to offend others easily.
Of course, if someone bullies the Meng family, that’s not the case.
Of course Meng Huo was a surrendered general, but who allowed him to have a good daughter and hold her in someone's lap.
Shiro Seki: Yes, that’s right!
So Lady Hua said confidently:
"I'm not afraid. I am the wife of Silang Guan. If anyone dares to bully our Meng family, I will go to my husband for help!"
As she said that, she looked at Feng Junhou again:
"Besides, after all, I have helped Junhou so much. We will be neighbors from now on. You won't just watch me being bullied and ignore it, right?"
When Feng Junhou heard this, he couldn't help but slap his head!
Good guy, I just made fun of her for coming here to find my own Alang, why did I forget about this?
But it’s not surprising, General Guan is his wife.
Only when she followed him to the battlefield did people remember that she had another identity.
"I was negligent, and that's true. Who among all the Han people doesn't know about your relationship with Shirou Guan?"
"Your Alang is now the general who conquers the east, and he also holds military power. Not many people in the Han Dynasty dare to offend him."
In the past, Shiro of the Guan family was not well-known, and he was a **** of the Guan family, so not many people knew about him.
In the battle of Guanzhong, Guan Silang stole the show, fully displaying the legacy of Guan Laojun.
It can be said that he became a household name overnight.
If you really want to offend this person, wouldn't you be indirectly offending Feng Zhendong?
“In that case, it’s convenient. If you decide how big of a yard you want to build, then just go to Secretary Zhang and get a land deed document.”
Feng Junhou’s words undoubtedly showed his attitude.
Lady Hua immediately beamed. She picked up the tea cup and took a few sips, then put it down and continued:
“I have one more thing.”
"Oh, you little lady, why are you in such trouble?" Feng Junhou became a little impatient, "If there is anything else, just tell me."
“I want to ask people from the Nanxiang engineering team to supervise the construction of this yard. I don’t want a wooden yard, I want a brick yard, made of cement, big red bricks, good-looking!”
This aesthetic is so **** stupid!
Feng Junhou secretly complained in his heart.
It’s just that the Han Dynasty regarded itself as the virtue of fire, with red as the main virtue.
Red is the color that everyone likes, it is the national color.
"very expensive!"
Cement is not the inferior cement that was first used to pave roads and was called artificial stone, but the calcined cement that is barely qualified.
It's just that the yield rate is extremely low, resulting in low output.
The main reason is that the temperature is difficult to control.
The calcined cement produced in the entire Han Dynasty was not enough for the royal family and the powerful.
Like the Meng family, if they want to use cement to build a house, they have to wait in line for at least ten years - if they can get their turn.
Of course, it’s still the same sentence, who told Meng Huo to have a good daughter?
Little Lady Hua patted her chest and said grandly: "I'm not short of money!"
"That's no problem. I'll give you a souvenir. When you return to Nanxiang, just take my souvenir and find someone."
The reconstruction of Chang'an is a big project.
Big projects mean big money and water.
To build a model project for the Meng family, are you afraid that wealthy families who move to Chang'an in the future won't rush to find engineering teams to build their houses?
Feng Junhou looked at the flower wand again, with a smile on his face.
He felt happy, so he drank a few more drinks at the dust-washing feast for Huawan.
More than a year of fighting, followed by the death of the prime minister, and then the need to sort out the affairs of Guanzhong and merge the states, Feng Junhou had almost no time to relax.
Now that everything is settled, Hua Wan brings good news again, giving Feng Junhou hope of solving the population bottleneck in the Han Dynasty.
In addition to this banquet, apart from the head of the Feng family and his four wives and concubines, there is only one guest, Huawan.
Even Zhang Xiaosi, who doesn’t like drinking, saw Feng Junhou’s rare moment of relaxation and drank a few drinks with him.
So Feng Junhou got drunk.
But tonight he was in a very high mood, and even when he was drunk, he did not forget to hold the beautiful woman in his arms.
He didn't wake up until it was dark the next day.
The morning in late autumn is already chilly.
Feng Junhou squinted his eyes, turned over, and hugged the warm body next to him, intending to take a nap.
The fragrance in my nose is a little strange.
The hand holding the person’s hand squeezed subconsciously.
Well, let’s exclude General Guan first.
Because it is impossible for General Guan to get up so late. According to her habit, she should get up early to practice martial arts.
It’s not Zhang Xiaosi either. Although Zhang Xiaosi’s name is Xiaosi, she is about the same height as Li Mu and not so small.
It seems to be Amei.
“Amei, have you changed your shampoo?”
Feng Junhou murmured a question.
The man in his arms shook slightly, and then curled himself up tighter.
Hmm, it’s Amei’s habit.
“Hey, touching is not enough, you also need to pinch?”
Feeling that Feng Junhou's hand had been dishonest, the person in his arms finally couldn't help but say something.
“Old married couple…”
Before he finished speaking, Feng Junhou suddenly opened his eyes and half propped himself up:
"why you!"
The flower wand with its back facing him did not turn around, leaving him only a white nape:
“Why can’t it be me? Didn’t you ever think that such a day would come?”
Feng Junhou's originally confused head suddenly became clear.
Just listening to her calm tone, for some reason, he didn't know how to answer:
"I just didn't expect it to be in this situation, that... um, what happened last night?"
“Shiro Seki can’t give me a child, so I have to ask you for it.”
Feng Junhou’s ghostly body was shaken!
Cao!
Mingming heard her calm tone earlier and thought it was somewhat logical.
Hearing this sentence again at this time, why did it give rise to an exciting feeling of having an affair?
“Well, I mean…”
He originally wanted to ask General Guan Da and Zhang Xiaosi if they were co-conspirators.
But then I thought about it, without the nods of these two people, Hua Wan would definitely not have the courage to climb onto the couch.
“When did you discuss it?”
“Ask your wife yourself, what do I do?”
Remembering that she is the nominal wife of Shiro Seki, and Shiro Seki is the wife of this guy.
Now I am…
What a messy relationship!
Hua Wan could not help but feel a little bitter, and sighed resignedly:
“Back then, because of your reputation, I wanted to use the help of the Xinghan Society to save the people, so I should have thought that today would happen.”
After all, when King Feng Gui was in Nanzhong, he had three thousand concubines in one night. How could he possibly escape?
Over the years, I have led my people and accumulated a lot of property.
In the past, when Grandpa Zhuge was still there, there was no need to worry too much about someone taking advantage of us by force.
But now that Grandpa Zhuge is gone, who knows what will happen to the court?
I must think of a way out as early as possible.
Although the name of Guan Shiro's wife is mentioned, it is ultimately false and cannot make people feel at ease.
Since I have been doing things in the name of Feng Guiwang these years, I might as well just take advantage of him and live up to my reputation.
When hugging the thigh, it must be the thickest one.
For Feng Junhou, if something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
He had a gut feeling that things were not that simple. It was just because he had just woken up that he couldn't figure things out for a while.
While he was thinking hard, Hua Wan interrupted his thoughts:
“But there is something I want to tell you.”
"What?"
“If I give birth to a girl in the future, she must be the young patriarch of the Zhurong tribe.”
Hearing this tone, Feng Junhou was immediately shocked:
“How many children do you want to have?”
Huawan didn’t expect that this person would say such inhuman words. She turned around suddenly:
“You don’t want to be responsible? Even if there is only one child, she has to go!”
Probably he turned too hard and shook too much, which made Feng Junhou's eyes straighten.
It’s not his fault.
After all, the prescriptions and body-building techniques that General Guan snatched back from Tiannv were very effective.
I was so drunk last night that I was in a daze and felt weak all over.
Now when I wake up in the morning, my state is very different.
