Li Wan nestled in Li Miao's arms, his face full of joy. He talked a lot today and was very excited. They are all talking about Rong Ning's second house. I just received a letter from Jia Zheng today. Inform Jia of recent events.
Let Li Wan not be in a hurry to return to Beijing, and put Jia Lan's studies first.
After Li Wan came to Qingzhou, he would write to Jia Zheng every month to inform him of Jia Lan's current situation. Jia Zheng would also write back to tell him some trivial matters at home.
Now the Grand View Garden in Jia Mansion has been completed, costing a total of nearly three hundred thousand taels of silver.
Among them, they borrowed 100,000 taels of silver from the Xue family, and Rong Ning's second house scraped it together and did their best. Finally, the Grand View Garden has been built, and now we are waiting for the imperial concubine to get married during the Lantern Festival next year.
Li Miao listened to her senior sister's chatter, and it seemed that she had saved Lin Ruhai. The Jia Mansion no longer had Lin Daiyu's wealth to spend, and the Grand View Garden could only be scrapped.
Li Miao doesn't know if the current Grand View Garden is still the Grand View Garden. It is definitely much simpler and smaller.
At the same time, it once again confirmed Li Miao's guess that the plot of Red Mansion has changed, and the invasion of aliens will soon be a major event in the court.
Li Miao didn't know if there would be any changes in Jia Yuanchun's provincial visit. Even if there were no changes, it is estimated that the emperor's attention would no longer be on it.
Li Miao began to use chess skills to estimate the gains and losses of Rongning's second mansion. Through the estimation, he felt that it should be beneficial to Rongning's second mansion, so he hastily built the Grand View Garden.
Rong Ning's Second Mansion should not place too many expectations on Jia Yuanchun as they did before.
Lin Daiyu now writes several letters every month, and Li Miao always replies to her letters. He doesn't want to offend this petty future wife.
This time, Jia Mansion also borrowed 50,000 taels of silver from Lin Ruhai to build a garden. He originally wanted to borrow more, but in the end Lin Ruhai sponsored 50,000 taels of silver.
Li Wan seemed to see that the Jia family was about to prosper, so the conversation was in full swing. At first, Li Miao was still dealing with it and thinking about his own thoughts. Later, gradually, even the um and ah sounds disappeared.
Suddenly Li Miao was awakened by Li Wan's breathing. It turned out that Li Miao, who had been wandering around in the world, had one hand not idle at all. He looked at what was originally a cheerful bird with chirping, but now it has turned into a hairy bird. A sick bird with a high fever.
Li Miao quickly transformed into a miracle doctor, and soon the two of them started to practice together, but Li Wan was extremely excited. Happy emotions can be contagious. So, a night of fun.
Li Miao has been in this world for more than four years. He is truly successful and has many wives and concubines. Now even if he is asked to return to the hereafter, he is unwilling to do so.
It’s not that I don’t miss my relatives in future generations. But in the future, he will be just a salted fish, but in this life, he has a huge responsibility. There are so many relatives and loved ones around us who need to be taken care of.
He still had such a large group of people who could not do without him, and gradually he felt that the burden on his shoulders was not light. Fortunately, the imperial court is now protected by his mentor Li Shouzhong, and Qingzhou is developing well in all aspects.
With the improvement of his enlightenment level, Li Miao no longer had the original idea. Although he was determined to get the twelve golden hairpins, he still had to depend on the timing. Even if you get the technique first, it will be useless. You will have to bear their continuous cause and effect in the future. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
Now Li Miao only has the skills of four twelve meridians, and he still lacks the skills of eight Jin Chai. Thinking about their cause and effect, he feels very stressed. But Li Miao is not in a hurry. As long as he is given time, with the accumulation of luck, anything is possible.
Now Li Miao is only the sixth-rank magistrate of Qingzhou. After serving as the magistrate of Qingzhou, there is no problem in going to Beijing to become a fifth-rank official. Besides, he has plenty of time. As long as the development of the Jurchen tribe is suppressed, he will always have the twelve golden hairpins after entering the capital. .
Li Miao is waiting for the alien invasion at the end of the year. Several of Li Miao's large and small ships are on standby in the Bohai Bay. The farms around the capital have also sent additional manpower. With sufficient supplies, they are waiting to see how many refugees can be resettled.
I don’t know how many refugees can be resettled to the Liaodong Bureau this time, and how many refugees can come to the Qingzhou area. Anyway, there is one priority: refugees as a family unit will be given priority. After all, stability is the most important thing to resettle so many refugees. Li Miao is not a philanthropist yet. .
As for whether the refugees are willing to go to Liaodong Bureau or Qingzhou, Shandong. These are not within the scope of Li Miao's consideration. Imagine that the refugees can no longer survive. How can there be so many choices? Does it matter if they can find a way to survive?
The key for Li Miao is how to resettle these refugees with the least impact and without disturbing the court. The court will not be grateful to you for resettling refugees, and will definitely think that you have behaved improperly. It would be nice not to have a head on your neck.
Li Miao indeed wanted to use this group of refugees to quickly increase his strength. In order to contain the Jurchen people. The Jurchens will inevitably become the great enemy of the Zheng Dynasty. It will inevitably become Li Miao's enemy in the future.
I don't have a certain amount of strength, so I want to contain the Jurchen people. That's bullshit. Without the participation of this group of refugees, no matter how many ships are built, it will be useless if the sailors and guards are short of manpower.
This is the general trend now. It's not that Li Miao has no sympathy and does not stick to trivial matters when doing big things. How can anything be perfect in the world?
Now Li Miao looks at the problem from a political perspective. Everything starts from the overall situation, and of course your own safety must also be given top priority.
Li Miao currently does not have the quality to sacrifice his own life and abandon his small family to consider the overall situation. You must do your part for the nation while ensuring the safety of yourself and your loved ones. Even if it means losing some of your own interests, you won't hesitate.
Time has entered December, and the land in the north is already a land of ice and snow. A once-in-a-century heavy snow fell on the grassland, and the court became alert after receiving the news.
There are still many such records in history that we can learn from. It is often accompanied by the desperate measures of the grassland peoples. Desperately invade the Zheng Dynasty.
Should the grassland people wait to die where they are, or come to the Dazheng Dynasty to plunder and survive. In fact, there is no need to think about it, the correct answer is readily available. The court had realized that something was wrong, and so far there had been a rare quarrel in the court.
Often when a nation encounters an invasion by a foreign enemy, a rare harmony will appear, reflecting the cohesion of a strong nation. A consensus will soon be formed in the court to unite with foreign enemies and resist foreign enemies. Everyone also knows the strength of the Dazheng Dynasty's border troops.
Immediately, the emperor ordered Wang Ziteng to patrol the nine sides and strengthen defense, and Wang Ziteng also brought the imperial edict. Holding Shang Fang's sword, he cuts first and then plays. The soldiers who have made great achievements in resisting the aliens this time will receive an exceptional reward. There must be a brave man under a heavy reward.
Wang Ziteng also sighed helplessly to himself. If Wang Ziteng also had some skills in the military, foreign races might have detained him, so even if he went to the border, it would be in vain.
Just by one mouth? What is the reason for the decline in combat effectiveness of the frontier army? The whole hall is like a bright mirror.
The emperor's decree today actually knows that it is useless, but he must make the right choice. First of all, he must stand on the side of justice. Political correctness is a must.
It's good that the other party has an explanation on all aspects. Facing the invasion of aliens, the emperor and his ministers have made correct and quick responses.
In fact, more of the response was focused on the guards of the capital. This was done secretly and did not have much impact. This was the real consensus. If the capital cannot be defended, everyone will be doomed. How can we not reach a consensus?
