Chapter three hundred and fifty fifth happy event
Saying off the absent-minded Lu Wenzhao, the hot pot on the stone table was still hot, and most of the chopped mutton beef was left. Gao Jin drank a glass of pear blossoms and looked at Shan Ying who came out of the shade of the tree, "Sit down, eat meat and drink, and drive away the cold."
"Mr. Xie."
Shan Ying did not refuse, and he had already sold his life to Gao Jin, and he also knew that this master had never had any airs except in the army.
"Master, this Lu Wenzhao is a foolish and loyal court, and it is not so easy to conquer."
After eating the hot and spicy mutton hotpot, Shan Ying couldn't help but ask after all, the Jinyiwei in Lu Wenzhao's family for generations can be said to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. He didn't understand why the master told Lu Wenzhao that many things were told.
"This man is a bit capable, and although he is foolish and loyal, he has the people in his heart. What I do on the grassland has great benefits for both the country and the people. He knows what to do?"
Gao Jin has been leading the soldiers for so long and has some experience in grasping people's hearts. Although Lu Wenzhao is willing to die for him now, if he really faces the court, Lu Wenzhao will definitely be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.
But what happened in the future is unclear. If he couldn't even conquer Lu Wenzhao, how could he talk about changing the world?
"During these days, Lu Wenzhao has arranged for more walks and more to see in Hekou Fort, and there is no need to worry about the rest."
"Yes, Master."
Shan Ying responded. Although he had some opinions about Lu Wenzhao and felt that this man was too pretentious, since the master gave the order, he could only let go of his malice towards Lu Wenzhao.
"You have worked hard recently, so eat more to replenish your body."
When Gao Jin got up and left, he pressed Shan Ying and said in a deep voice that Lu Da under his command did not stop at night, but only focused on the war, while other spies fell on Shan Ying's shoulders.
Looking at the leaving figure, Shan Ying picked up the beef and mutton from the hot copper pot and personally used the blade. The unruly man who was said to be a wolf by the relatives, Gu Ying, ate it in big mouthfuls, but his eyes were red. Thinking of what he had done in the past few months, he suffered a lot and felt coldly. He suddenly felt that it was all worth it.
Not far away, the two servants looked at the thin black man who cried and laughed, and ate meat and drank wine, and couldn't help but say, "Is this mutton hotpot so delicious? I heard that Mr. Yang burned his mouth..."
...
On the official road outside Hekou Fort, there was a long bride-sending team. Liu Xun rode a tall horse and looked happy. Although the letter of the eldest prince's merit was submitted to the court for a short time, this time the court had sent important personnel from the Ministry of War to arrive and could reach Camel City before the New Year.
This time Liu Xun and Sha Zhenjiang were promoted by a single person, and he could not escape, even if he was a general, he said that all this was thanks to his brother Gao Jin.
Now in the Camel City, the originally defeated Liu family has become a top general again. Although many people know the inside story, as long as he has a good relationship with Gao Jin, who dares to underestimate the Liu family. If the Liu family is provoked, it will be like a King of Yama. The Tartars outside the pass are killed by him, and the generals in the Camel City are nothing.
So even if the old and confused family don’t like their younger sister to marry into Hekoubao, the elders of the Liu family are very willing. Liu Xun guessed that Gao Jin’s thousand households would move upwards. At that time, Chen Sheng’s brother-in-law could at least make a thousand households, which would not be considered as insulting his younger sister.
Just looking back at the empty eight-carrying sedan chair, Liu Xun suddenly sighed. The younger sister followed Mulan's younger sister and her temperament became wild. She should have gone back to Camel City before getting married. Now, he, the eldest brother, has to pretend to be ignorant.
"Master, the son-in-law is here to welcome the bride."
In the team, the old butler Liu smiled and said, Liu Xun raised his head and saw the iron cavalry rolling in front of him. The groom who was leading the groom was not Chen Sheng, but on this festive day, he was still wearing armor and had a big red brocade hydrangea on his chest.
Liu Xun couldn't help but smile bitterly. Brother Gao was not very particular when he got married to Mulan's younger brother and sister in Camel City that day. He was laughed at by the generals as ignorant of etiquette. Now his brother-in-law is following the same thing.
"Don't panic, the groom's family is a general's family, and he is a family member of the Wu family..."
After Liu Xun said this, he felt embarrassed to write it down. When any general married, he wore iron armor to welcome the bride.
In the bride-giving team, the thugs and aunts hired by Liu Xun for money only thought they didn't know anything. At this time, Chen Sheng arrived on a horse. When he saw Liu Xun's elder brother-in-law, his face turned red. He knew that his elder brother-in-law must have regarded him as an ignorant person. God felt sorry for him to be nagged by my mother for a long time, saying that Liu Xiaomei's family was a famous family and could not lose etiquette, but the person who made him wear armor like this was not someone else, it was Liu Xiaomei.
"Brother, I..."
Chen Sheng, I didn't know what to say for a long time. At this time, I dressed up as a man behind him. Liu Xiaomei, wearing soft bank armor, rode out and said to her elder brother, "Brother, don't blame Asheng, this is all my idea."
"Look at how kind of decent you are?"
Liu Xun didn't expect that his younger sister came in person and dressed up as a man. This made him angry and he came with an empty sedan chair. It would be fine if he came with him, but why did he still...
"What a fierce thing? I don't come. Could it be that you want your brother to bring this empty sedan in the door?"
Liu Xiaomei is not afraid of her elder brother. She has been practicing fast swords with Mulan for more than half a year. Even Asheng praised her for her good martial arts skills and could go into battle.
Liu Xun was speechless for a moment and could only watch his little sister get off the horse and get into the eight-carrying sedan chair. Then the maid from the Liu family hurriedly sent Dahong wedding dress and jewelry boxes in. The drummers and aunts hired around were also stunned.
Looking at Chen Sheng's helpless expression, Liu Xun suddenly rode his horse to him and said in a deep voice, "Brother-in-law, you have suffered. I was wrongly blamed you before. You can take more responsibility for my little sister in the future."
The bride-welcoming team set off again, and the iron cavalry rolled in front of them like thunder, making it look like a bride-welcoming army returning triumphantly.
There was no more trouble along the way. In Hekou Fort, Gao Jin had set up a mansion for his friends. The outside of Chen Shengxin's house was full of neighbors watching the fun. Liu Xiaomei did not do anything out of the ordinary. Wenwen quietly entered the Chen family's door. After Liu Xun and Chen Sheng were sitting there and received a visit from the newlyweds, the marriage was considered to be.
Originally, Wang Dou wanted to make trouble for Chen Sheng's new house, but unfortunately Yang Dayan and the others would marry each other next time, and no one agreed with him. Chen Fa also personally kept the backyard for his elder brother, and those neighbors who wanted to come to the corner were beaten out by him.
Finally, Gao Jin took Wang Dou, the lonely man, back, and used this matter to teach him a lesson, "They are about to get married. It just so happened that Sha Tongzhi had a niece in his family. I heard that she was handsome, but she was taller and had a sword and gun, so no one dared to propose marriage when she was eighteen. I happened to have a letter to Sha Tongzhi, and you will leave to go with Brother Liu to Camel City tomorrow."
When Gao Jin said this, he did not avoid Liu Xun. He also hoped that Liu Xun could stare at Wang Dou. He promised all the aunts that day that he could not tell the uncles and uncles that there was no incense at their homes. Wang Dou was the only one among his friends. If he didn't keep an eye on it, he would be afraid that he would not know when he would drag it.
Wang Dou was surprisingly not refusing this time. He remembered the words of the guy Yang Dayan. When they all became big, wouldn’t he have children be young? Besides, the second brother said this time that the Sha family woman was very suitable for him.
"I understand, second brother."
Seeing that Wang Dou agreed honestly, he was obviously thinking. Gao Jin was relieved. After Wang Dou took back, he said to Liu Xun, "Brother Liu, let's continue to have a few drinks. I really want to ask you for help?"
"My brother, please give me some instructions!"
Liu Xun was afraid that Gao Jin would be fine when he looked for him. Although their relationship was good, he would always take advantage of him. He couldn't speak out in his heart. This was not a good thing for the two families to get in contact.
After arriving at the study, Gao Jin asked his servants to send some exquisite side dishes and a pot of pear blossom wine in. After he came in, he called Liu Xun to eat and drink, and at the same time he took the wool wool ingredients he brought back and placed it on the table.
"Brother Liu, what do you think of this hair?"
Liu Xun put down his wine glass, picked up the roll of wool, and couldn't help but say, "What a heavy weight."
While talking, Liu Xun stretched out the woolen material. He felt that although the woolen felt hard, it was hard and soft, and it was warm. "Is this wool wool wool wool?"
"This wool is woven by wool. It is thick and warm, and it is also wind-proof and snow-proof, which is much warmer than a cotton coat."
The wind is strong in the north, and even the thickest cotton jacket is blown through by the wind, it is extremely cold. Gaojin makes this wool wool for winter clothes. After all, although fur goods are good, the price is not affordable for ordinary people. However, this wool wool will flourish in Hetao in the future, and the price of this finished product can be reduced a lot.
"Good thing, brother, can you try any ready-to-wear?"
After hearing this, Liu Xun's eyes shone. The price of cotton cloth on the border was huge profits. Songjiang cotton cloth produced in Jiangnan could be sold ten times the price in the border. Many villages in the border were so poor that they couldn't afford to wear pants. They were all rags that had been worn for many years.
"Brother Liu is here."
Gao Jin summoned his servants and asked someone to pick up a few ready-made clothes made of wool woolen. Liu Xun quickly put on an upper body, but he felt that the wool was much heavier than the cotton coat. He even went around in the yard and found that the wool could resist the cold wind. He was immediately overjoyed, "Brother, I don't know how much this wool is costing?"
"If it's cheap, it's a way to make a fortune."
Liu Xun murmured there, saying that the most profitable business in the world is nothing more than salt and iron tea cloth. The price of this cloth has been crushed to death by the big cloth merchants in Jiangnan. They are unable to start from the border areas if they want to get benefits.
If you dare to use force, others will not do business with you, not to mention that the large cloth merchants in Jiangnan are in the court, so the cloth business in Shaanxi is almost always controlled by those large cloth merchants. At most, they make some small money, and their big heads are taken away by the large cloth merchants in Jiangnan.
"The wool material costs about the same as that of cotton cloth, but the output is not enough for the time being."
Wool is a worthless thing in the Tartars, and there is also no shortage of labor on the grassland. The wool becomes wool, and the real cost of high-incoming is to pay the wages of the female weavers. As for the loom itself, the Hekou Fort can be built by its own craftsmen, and the cost is also very low.
"Brother, what do you want me to do?"
"I brought back ten thousand pieces of woolen materials this time. Except for my Hekou Fort, I want to sell them outside. I don't know if Brother Liu has a way in Camel City."
Although the Sha family can cooperate, in comparison, Gao Jin is more willing to support Liu Xun. At the same time, he can help the generals in the Sha family and the Camel City. Once this woolen industry is established, it will offend the large cloth merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. Although Gao Jin asked himself that he could also feed the officials of the capital, he would rather give some benefits to the generals.
