Suddenly, Ling Buyi's eyes lit up: "Xie Yu, you are indeed a talented person. By the way, I remember that after you gained money from suppressing the bandits, you gave some of the strong men among the bandits to the young master."
"Could it be..."
Xie Yu: "Young general, don't think too much. You never know what will happen to you in the end. It's just that you can see your position clearly and know how much weight your head can withstand."
Major General Ling Buyi said: "Okay, okay, by the way, your pebbles with mud are finished."
Xie Yu: "Major General, the finished product has been available for a long time, and it has been tried in your house for more than half a month."
Major General Ling Buyi: "Really?"
Xie Yu: "Major General, the people in the kitchen of your house can prove it."
Ling Busu stood up and walked out. Just as he was about to go out, he turned back and took a white cloth and tied it around his waist.
The results displayed were naturally very satisfying to him.
Immediately arrange for people to greet the young master.
After all, Ling Buyi was raised by the empress since he was a child, and he was very familiar with Emperor Wen's private treasury and the young manor.
Especially the eunuchs around the prince...
Finally, Xie Yu left the two dealers who knew the process of making briquettes with the Major General and ignored them.
With the arrangements made by the young general, Xie Yu believed that his share of the benefits would naturally be indispensable.
Although it's certainly not that exaggerated, safety is no problem.
Sure enough, after another shift, Xie Yuxian saw traces of briquettes in the Qimen Army. After smiling in his heart, he quickly found out that traces of briquettes also appeared in the government offices in the capital.
Xie Yu knew that the matter was settled.
In fact, many convenient and useful technologies have appeared in ancient times, such as gaucho saddles and horse stools used in the army, and even some iron smelting technologies.
In fact, it first appeared on the Hu people. Because of the war, the Central Plains army found that this thing was really useful, so it gradually became popular.
Of course, due to the spread of information channels, it is not so easy to spread. This depends on the execution ability of a Central Plains dynasty.
Let's talk about the briquettes this time. Major General Ling Buyi, who is often in the army and has no lack of political wisdom, saw the benefits of this briquettes at a glance.
Ling Buyi is now Emperor Wen's sweetheart and the prince's playmate. After asking for a warrant from the prince, he wants the young master to help promote it. Even the young master who owns gardens, minerals, and imperial estates all over the world does not dare to neglect it too much. .
And this briquette is really useful, especially in this cold weather.
As a result, the head of the Shaofu immediately changed from being perfunctory to being proactive.
Now he has been on trial in the Forbidden Army for a period of time, and the sergeant responded well, so he asked Emperor Wen for his order.
Emperor Wen was an emperor born among the people. Naturally, he saw the benefits of this briquette and immediately arranged for various government offices in the capital to promote its use.
…
In a blink of an eye, it is finally the first day of the new year, the auspicious snow has arrived, and the new year has arrived. Prepare new year's goods, exchange peach charms, and burn firecrackers.
There are also more children wearing new clothes on the street.
Notify the people in the mansion that after dinner in the evening, Xie Yugang was handing out New Year's red envelopes, giving Pan'er new clothes, and saying some auspicious words to the people in the mansion.
Just when the atmosphere was lively and Xie Yu felt a little more at home, the concierge outside came running and whispered to Xie Yu.
Xie Yu was stunned, and quickly asked Pan'er to distribute them for him. He led the two boys and hurried out to greet them.
When he went out, he saw Major General Ling Buyi leading more than a dozen black-armored guards standing at the door of the mansion.
Xie Yu quickly said: "Major General, why are you here?"
Ling Buyi: "Why, I specially wish you a happy New Year, but you don't welcome it?"
Xie Yu: "Welcome, very welcome, young general, let's go into the mansion to talk."
As soon as he entered Xie Yu's residence, Ling Buyi took a casual look at it and said, "Speaking of your new residence, this is my first time here. The decoration is quite good, with a bit of Jiangnan style."
Xie Yu: "Speaking of which, I would also like to thank the Major General. When you gave me the mansion, you also gave me some servants. Among them, there is a woman who was born in Shouchun and is quite intelligent."
"Major General, you also know that with my background and image, it would be very difficult for me to marry a young lady from a big family."
"In addition, there are not many people behind me who want my favor, and they are going to be promoted to the Qimen Army. Why don't I hire a governor's wife to take care of my house for me."
Major General Ling Buyi said: "Xie Yu, do you know that this move of yours will destroy your future. It may be more difficult to get married and integrate into the noble family in the future."
Xie Yu: "Anyway, it can't be more difficult in the future. Besides, if I am asked to bow my head in order to integrate into the noble noble family, the wife family is too powerful. I am afraid that she will turn against the guest and affect my service to the major general."
Major General Ling Buyi: "Xie Yu, you always have a reason!"
It was obvious that Ling Buyi was very satisfied with Xie Yu's answer.
So he said again: "Xie Yu, the briquettes you presented have alarmed His Majesty."
"Your Majesty is very satisfied and has already asked the capital government to promote it."
Xie Yu said happily: "I never expected that your majesty would be alarmed."
Ling Buyi said: "Your Majesty is a civil emperor, so his vision is naturally different."
"It's just a pity that Xie Yu, you are not from a noble family or a clan, otherwise, you might be able to be knighted because of this."
Xie Yu: "The last general is a soldier, and he should get his honor immediately. I don't want to be knighted like this."
Ling Buyi slapped his thigh and said, "That's true. You should get your fame right away. If you, Xie Yu, get a title based on this, it will be hard for a man in the army to convince you even if you don't say it."
Xie Yu: "That's true."
Ling Buyi: "But don't worry, Xie Yu, I will naturally fight for the benefits you deserve."
"For example, even though you were rewarded for your great achievements on the grassland, you were still a little slow to do so."
Xie Yu naturally heard Ling Buyi's words in a foreign tone, and immediately saluted and said: "Thank you so much, General, for planning for the last general. It is really a blessing for the last general, Xie Yu, to be able to serve the young general."
Ling Buyi: "You are my subordinate, and I will make plans for you. But with your background..., don't expect too much."
Xie Yu: "I will finally understand."
Ling Buyi said: "Just be prepared. Today is the first month, so it will delay your kindness to the guests."
Just as he sent Major General Ling Buyi out, Ling Buyi pretended not to understand anything and asked Xie Yu: "The house next door to you is Hou Chengshi's home in Xinfengguan."
Xie Yu: "That's true."
Ling Buyi: "How do you get along with his family?"
Xie Yu: "Speaking of Xie Yu's fate, when the general first entered the capital, he stopped a passerby to inquire about the residence of the major general. The passerby was none other than Cheng Song, the son of the Cheng family."
"Besides, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. There are many female maids in my mansion. Not only are there many female servants in the Cheng mansion, but they also have military maids. The general also prohibits them from interacting with each other, so the relationship is not bad."
Ling Buyi: "Then who in the Cheng family has the deepest impression on you?"
This question was asked.
Fortunately, Xie Yu reacted quickly and immediately replied: "Of course she is the old lady of the Cheng family. Her voice of lecturing Cheng Hou every day has become a sight to behold."
Ling Buyi: "That's true."
"However, since you are here, Xie Yu, you can come with me to visit Cheng Mansion."
Xie Yu: "How dare you disobey your orders."
Afterwards, Xie Yu led Ling Buyi into Cheng Mansion.
Seeing Ling Buyi's familiar movements, Xie Yu realized that he didn't lead the way for him.
