Chapter 421 Everything is ready, I only owe Dongfeng!
.Tang Shunzhi gave a set of six volumes of heavenly books, namely "Left", "Right", "Wu", "Confucianism", and "Bai". It is said that each volume contains the great principles. As long as anyone masters one of them, he can establish a career and be famous in history.
But there is one problem with this book, which is that it is too profound. After all, Tang Shunzhi is a scholar who never leaves his home. Many of the things he has learned from his predecessors and has never changed. To put it bluntly, he was all reasoned, but without practice, it is difficult to say whether it is reliable.
I was worried that I would be obsessed with it, so I never admired it. I felt that it would be better to find a jealous mouse to try it, so I brought it to Qi Jiguang. I thought that those who could become national heroes should not collapse so easily.
However, he still carefully reminded: "When you are considering it, try to remember it and study it critically."
"The last general knows." Qi Jiguang said in his head: "It is better to have no books than to believe in books." This sentence makes people know why he can be famous in history and become a famous general... But now with silent interference, I don't know if he can still become a national hero.
It was late at night and the banquet ended. The Qi family and his wife would send them to the door to the two distinguished guests, and they would not turn back until the alley was empty.
When he returned to the room, Qi Jiguang sat down with a dark face and said nothing. Mrs. Qi met two sisters and was in a very comfortable mood. Seeing her husband's stinky face, she smiled and asked, "Why is this? Who is so angry for you?"
"You!" Qi Jiguang said in a muffled voice.
"What's wrong with me?" Mrs. Qi said in surprise: "Why did you neglect others when cooking and treating guests?"
"You'll save me." Qi Jiguang looked at her and turned his eyes to the roof of the house.
"Why should I lose face?" Mrs. Qi narrowed her eyes and said, "You asked me to do whatever you do today." Seeing that her husband still looked dead, Mrs. Qi said impatiently: "I said Qi Yuanjing, what's wrong with you?"
Qi Jiguang frowned and raised his voice and said, "Don't call me the word " in the future," he will throw away my face!"
"So it's because of this. Ah..." Mrs. Qi laughed and said, "I've been screaming for so many years, but I can't change my words for a while. I'll try not to shout."
"It's not as much as possible, but must!" Qi Jiguang glared at him, "Look at the other person's wife Gui and Mrs. Chen, they are both well-educated and gentle, and they feel comfortable no matter how they look at it." As he said that, he didn't know where he got so angry, but he actually said: "Look at you, which one can compare to others! He is so big, just like a slate of green, and only knows how to dance with a knife and a gun, and even a woman can't be like a woman, who do you look like a woman?"
At first, Mrs. Qi pursed her lips tightly and didn't want to argue with him, but when she heard him say the last sentence, she could no longer bear it. Her eyebrows stood up and said angrily: "Qi Jiguang, what do you mean? What do I don't look like a woman?"
Qi Jiguang curled his lips and said, "I can't even give birth to a child, what kind of woman are you?" After saying that, he regretted it and quickly changed his words: "I don't mean that, I mean..."
But it was too late. I saw Mrs. Qi roll up her sleeves, tighten her belt, and say without expression: "I'm waiting for you in the backyard, but I'm not a man if I don't come."
Amid the snickers of the maids, Qi Jiguang's mouth twitched, and he wanted to slap himself: "I have such a stinky mouth, why didn't I keep the door?" But a man is a real man, he doesn't lose the situation, and he has to go.
So he tied up his belt, put on his knee pads and wrist pads, thought about it, and put another heart protection mirror in his arms, and then he went to the backyard with a thorn in his teeth.
The night under the moon is as cool as water. Mrs. Qi is dressed in her clothes, outlining a moving curve, containing infinite vitality, and looks heroic, like a female war god. Seeing that Qi Jiguang finally came out, she snorted coldly and said, "Choose weapons."
"It's better to be empty-handed." Qi Jiguang said for a long time: "The sword has no eyes. If it hurts you... or me, it will be bad."
"Whatever." Mrs. Qi snorted, then pulled out her posture and said, "Stop being slow!"
Qi Jiguang sighed helplessly in his heart and said to himself: 'It is the misfortune of my life to have such a savage wife.' He had to go on stage reluctantly, and also put on his posture, saying: "Just make the point, don't really beat me..."
In fact, what’s even more unfortunate in life is that you can’t beat a savage wife…
A quarter of an hour later, Qi Jiguang was pressed to the ground and shouted, "Don't beat me, don't beat me, I can't admit defeat..."
Mrs. Qi rode on him, still pounding hard, and said angrily: "If you don't open your ladle this time, you won't know who should be afraid of whom."
"Don't slap the face, at least don't slap the face. I'll see someone tomorrow..." Qi Jiguang hugged his head and begged: "Sir, don't remember the villain's mistakes, just forgive me this time, right?"
Although Mrs. Qi was very skilled in martial arts, she was a woman after all. She got tired of fighting. She grabbed Qi Jiguang's ear and twisted it into a twisted shape and said, "Do you dare to talk nonsense in the future?"
"I dare not, I dare not, I dare not, I dare not to be beaten to death." Youdao was a hero who did not suffer any loss in front of him, so Qi Jiguang repeatedly begged for forgiveness.
"Did I not have a child before?" Seeing that he sued for mercy, Mrs. Qi's anger was also relieved, but her sadness arose: "Both sons died young. I know you feel sorry for you, but the flesh that fell from my body is more distressed than you. But I don't want you to die in the Qi family, so I gritted my teeth and got pregnant with the third one. As a result, my mood was depressed and I got angry. As a result, the child was not saved, and I... could not have children..." As he said, sadness came from it, covering his face and cried: "Don't I want to have a child? I dreamed that someone would call me mother..."
Qi Jiguang felt uncomfortable and said regretfully, "Madam, it's all my fault, don't be sad." Then he wanted to get up to comfort her and give her a solid chest, but found that he was still riding, so he had to whisper: "Can you let me get up?"
Concubine Qi turned sideways and got off him, knelt on the ground, sobbing quietly, the moonlight cast, and the cool tone added to the sadness, which made Qi Jiguang very reluctant. He stood up to wrap his shoulders, but was struggled by Concubine Qi and opened his hand.
But he was not discouraged and went to hug her again, and was bounced away again...
Qi Jiguang had to use all his strength to hug her violently. After several struggles, Mrs. Qi could not bounce him away, so she beat his back like a drum. Qi Jiguang endured the pain and said, "You fight, I'll vent your anger..." His wife's movements gradually became weak and weak, and she hugged his neck tightly, and she started crying helplessly.
Qi Jiguang gently patted her back and comforted her softly. In addition to crying, he seemed to hear her vaguely say: "Stop hurting me anymore, I can't stand it anymore, please..."
Qi Jiguang felt sad and almost burst into tears.
Of course, the internal affairs of the Qi family are not enough to be ruined by outsiders, and outsiders have no way to know. The next day, General Qi, who was proud of the Weiwei and heroic, went out of the city to train with great enthusiasm, and his life continued...
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and all the holidays that Chen Si gave to the people below were over, and the next stage of work was officially started. Chen Si convened everyone to hold a oath-taking meeting in the old place, announcing that the manpower and material resources of the three yamen would be integrated again, and divided into two major committees for opening ports and water control. The former was responsible for the establishment of the Maritime Manufacturing Department and the opening of ports, and he was personally in charge of Wang Yongjiu; the latter was responsible for the dredging work of Wusong River, with Hai Rui as the leader, and Gui Youguang was... In fact, Chen Si wanted to focus on Gui Youguang, but Gui Youguang took the initiative to give in to the virtuous. He said that when it comes to managing Hai Ruichao, he would do some coordination work.
The oath-taking meeting was short, and the goals of their respective committees were announced and hinted that after the task was reached, there would be many rewards, so it dispersed in the longing of everyone.
In the following days, the officials and yamen runners who were responsible for dredging the Wusong River were all led by Hai Rui and Gui Youguang and went out of the city to prepare; Chen Si and Wang Yongji began to make intense preparations for the opening of the port in July.
In fact, to establish a functional department and make it work, the first step must be to build a team first. But I don’t know whether to be happy or depressed, the imperial court’s establishment of the Maritime Bureau was extremely streamlined, one from the fifth rank, two from the sixth rank deputy, and one from the ninth rank official, only four from the three leaders and one soldier. This is not discrimination and silence, but the Maritime Bureau has always been like this. If you think there is not enough people, you can recruit temporary workers by yourself... Just like most of the officials in the three government offices, they are all non-staff personnel, and their salary is solved by themselves.
So this step was simply saved. Silently gave Wang Yongji and Gui Youguang the two deputy positions to Wang Yongji and Gui Youguang. This was considered a minor upgrade. Although it was meaningless, it was better than nothing.
Then he ordered someone to notify the foreign chambers of commerce and guilds in Suzhou City, telling them that the imperial court would open a port soon. If interested, he could report the goods prepared for sale to the Maritime Department's Office... that is, the prefect's office and pay a deposit of one tenth to prevent someone from falsely reporting and making trouble. Of course, if the transaction fails, the deposit will be refunded.
The chambers of commerce have long been looking forward to the opening of a port. At this moment, they were naturally extremely excited when they received the notice. Representatives from various provinces and governments placed orders one after another. In just three days, the total deposit amount exceeded one million taels. There were even those chambers of commerce who were anxious and had shipped the goods from their original home... Of course, except for the silk merchants, the tea service was still waiting for him?" As he said, he said annoyed: "After a long time, where is the credibility of the Maritime Bureau? Where is the face of the official?"
"There is nothing to do." Wang Yongji said bitterly: "Japan is so far away, we don't know the situation at all, so we can only wait so passively."
Chen Si knew that he had finished all the controllable things, and the rest was uncontrollable, so he could only wait like this. He nodded helplessly and said, "Then let's take a rest first."
