Firearms Camp.
This was the name given to it by the emperor after the East Wing was bombed and the two houses merged again.
Moreover, it is different from the past where he hid for fear of others knowing, so he always acted like a savage in the deep mountains and forests.
Today, for the convenience of transporting supplies, the firearms camp has moved from the depths of the mountains to the edge of the Qinling Mountains, becoming a neighbor to Lantian County, the fiefdom of Xiao Han's daughter.
But at the beginning, Xue Pan was very reluctant to choose this location.
She thinks such a dangerous place should be placed in someone else's home! For example, Changsun Wuji, or the Li Jing family, even if they are placed in Taiji Palace, they should not be placed in their own daughter's fiefdom.
However, Xue Pan's opinion could not influence the emperor's decision. In the end, the firearms camp was firmly located in the southeast corner of Lantian County.
At the same time, with the location of the firearms camp, what Xue Pan was most worried about also happened:
Because of the special nature of the firearms camp, in order to protect it, the Ministry of War specially designated a large area of land around it as a military restricted area with it as the center.
And because the Firearms Camp is so close to Lantian County, nearly half of these lands belong to Lantian County!
When the Ministry of War announced this resolution, it happened that Xiao Han was ordered to go to Lingnan!
Therefore, Xue Pan, who was originally quiet and elegant, was like a cat with fried hair. As soon as he learned the news, he rushed to the Ministry of War to complain!
This woman thought that at the beginning, she was opposed to the firearms camp being located in Lantian County. In fact, most of the reasons were because she was afraid that the firearms camp would occupy the land of Lantian!
However, this reason was really petty and she couldn't handle it, so she didn't say it out loud.
Let’s see the results now! Well, even if she didn’t tell her, the officials from the Ministry of War wouldn’t be polite to her either! They really thought that the Xiao family was made of clay.
This is really unbearable for my uncle, but my aunt can't bear it anymore!
So, relying on the identity of Mrs. Gaoming and Princess Lantian in his arms, Xue Pan went straight to Chang'an, then drove straight in and rushed directly into the lobby of the Ministry of War.
In the Ministry of War, where have those subordinate clerks seen such scenes?
Seeing Xue Pan's rampage, they did not dare to fight, nor could they stop him, so they all had to dodge in a hurry. In the end, it was Li Ji who was not on the expedition at the time, who came forward and persuaded Xue Pan.
"Niece Xian, what are you doing?" Looking at Xue Pan with an angry face, Li Ji felt like his head was swelling!
If it had been anyone else, with his temper, he would have been beaten with sticks, but facing the person in front of him, he really had no choice.
Because not to mention her brother with the title of prime minister, her daughter with the title of princess, and her petty husband, Li Ji was also unwilling to mess with him.
If this offends that petty person, I guess I won’t be able to live a peaceful life in the future!
"Li Gongmingjian!"
Seeing Li Ji come forward, Xue Pan's anger finally subsided a little, so he complained to him with red eyes: "As you know, my husband accepted the emperor's order and went to Lingnan, and we are the only orphans and widowers left at home. mother!
But the military department bullied me and other women and children. Not only did they put a dangerous place like the firearms camp on my daughter's fiefdom, but they also forcibly closed down hundreds of acres of fertile land. Isn't this just bullying! "
"Orphans and widowed mothers, bullying women and children..."
On the other side, Li Ji listened to Xue Pan's cry, and his head felt dizzy again. He thought to himself, as long as you don't bully others, who dares to bully you?
However, it was difficult to say this clearly, so he could only cough lightly and said: "Ahem, my virtuous niece is worrying too much. Your Majesty approved the location of this firearms camp. Besides, your husband also knows it. Why?" Could it be that I'm bullying you?"
"My husband knows about the location of the firearms camp. Who has said anything about the land that can be imprisoned? Now that my husband is not at home, the Ministry of War will take away hundreds of acres of fertile land with a flimsy document? When my husband comes back, How do you align yourself with me?"
Xue Pan hugged An An tightly, staring at Li Ji with his eyes wide open, without giving in!
Because she knows that now that her husband is gone, she can only carry the banner of the Xiao family! The interests of the Xiao family can only be protected by her...
If she compromises and retreats today, there will be countless clowns and accidents coming to her door tomorrow. By then, how can she, a prostitute, cope with so many things? !
Therefore, Xue Pan, who had always been weak, suddenly became extremely strong at this moment!
My husband was right before, I could punch him away! A hundred punches are free! The more times like this, the more important it is to not give in! Only by letting others know that you are not easy to bully will no one dare to bully you!
"Ahem... That firearms camp is your husband's soldier, use..." Li Ji rubbed his temples and tried to persuade Xue Pan.
Xue Pan interrupted him directly: "Mr. Li, be careful! All the soldiers and horses in the world belong to your Majesty. My husband only manages them for your Majesty! How can you say that those soldiers belong to my husband?"
"Ahem...Okay, I made a mistake, but the firearms camp is right there. It needs land. You can't just move it from Chang'an, right?"
"It is naturally impractical to move a piece of land from Chang'an, but we, the Xiao family, cannot be willing to give up our land just because it is needed, right?
In the future, if the court needs money, will my family have to give up their family assets again? In other words, when the time comes, Guild Li will be selfless and donate his family wealth first? "
"Cough cough cough cough..."
After just a few words, Li Ji felt like his lungs were about to cough up!
He could tell that in terms of quarreling, he couldn't fight this woman anyway, so he had to grit his teeth and said: "There is no way to move the firearms camp, and there is no way to return the land it occupied! What do you think, virtuous niece?! "
This is a bit of a rogue. He has occupied the land anyway. Even if he wants to retreat, he can't. You should just take advantage of this dumb loss!
However, Li Ji obviously underestimated Xue Pan.
As a famous talented woman in Chang'an at the beginning, although she has mostly helped Xiao Han manage his property at home in recent years, her reputation has gradually become less well known to outsiders. But she, Xue Pan! The biological sister of the evildoer Xue Shou! How could he be trapped by such rogue tactics?
She just frowned slightly, then looked at Li Ji and said word by word: "Since Mr. Li also admitted that the Firearms Battalion occupied our Xiao family's land, for the sake of national justice..."
"How about it? Just give it up?" When Li Ji heard this, a smile of relief finally appeared on his face, but the next moment, his smile completely froze on his face.
"For the sake of national justice, I, the Xiao family, have decided to suffer a little loss and ask the Ministry of Labor and War to provide us with some land from the surrounding areas! I saw that the Firearms Camp occupies 764 acres of fertile land, and the one who contacted Lantian , there is still some wasteland in Bailuyuan, one acre of fertile land is exchanged for three acres of wasteland, so no one will suffer!"
