Chapter 1197 Expedition(1/2)

 After the cotton field incident, all the aristocratic families in Bingzhou and Hedong who participated in the investment would send their responsible persons to be stationed in Chang'an.

After all, since you have decided to board the Han chariot, you must always pay attention to the political center of the Han.

Moreover, when children from the clan are sent to study at the academy, they also need someone to take care of them.

Facts have proved that this decision is very correct.

The news that the Dahan United Reserve Bureau decided to expand its membership was like dropping a huge boulder on a calm lake, causing huge waves.

Like sharks smelling the smell of blood, every house came to the house one after another.

"Jun Hou, someone outside has sent a greeting card..."

"No, no! How can I have time to see them now? Tell them I'm not free."

"Here."

I really succumbed to these guys and submitted my invitations three times a day. What does it mean to be the Feng Mansion?

A wastebasket?

Besides, paper is so precious, and using it to do such repetitive and futile tasks is a waste of money.

Now that we have decided to lead the army on an expedition, we naturally put the military situation first.

How could Feng Duhu have the time and mood to engage in those things that smell like copper?

"You don't have to worry about how much food each family will pay in the end, and how to pay it. It's all up to Mr. Jiang from Shangshutai to talk to them."

"After Jiang Gong has reached an agreement with them, he will send you the details of the money and food submitted by each family."

"All you have to do is to see how to allocate the member quotas based on the detailed list sent by Mr. Jiang."

"This matter is roughly governed by the regulations. I have already told you that if there are any major changes, you can discuss it with Madam Right."

Feng Duhu ordered Li Mu, and in the second half of the last sentence, he turned to Madam Right, who was holding the child.

The right lady rolled her eyes at him and curled her lips.

Li Mu, on the other hand, lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head, and replied respectfully:

"Yes, sir, don't worry, I will remember it."

When Feng Duhu was appointed as the captain to protect Qiang, she stayed in Nanxiang and did a good job.

Some of the personnel in the exchange and reserve bureau were brought out by her herself.

Now that he is back to his old business, Feng Duhu has nothing to worry about.

Of course, this matter can also be left in the hands of Madam Right.

But Mrs. Right has to take care of her children, and she also has to read the political affairs sent from the chancellery and file them.

If Feng Duhu hadn't gone on an expedition, she would have selected the important contents so that Feng Duhu could know more easily.

So don’t put this matter on her anymore, lest she get tired.

This is definitely not because there are royal seats in the Han Dynasty Joint Reserve Bureau, so Feng Duhu was afraid that if he was not at home during the expedition, the royal family would take advantage of the situation and take the opportunity to interfere in the matter.

Feng Duhu walked to Mrs. Right and looked down at his youngest daughter.

The child has fallen asleep in her mother's arms. She is quiet and well-behaved. It seems that she will grow up to be a lady.

A smile appeared on Feng Duhu's face. He lowered his voice subconsciously and said:

"Although Jiang Gongyan will negotiate with them about the money and food involved in this matter, we still have to meet the target for the final amount, and supervision must be done well."

"But there is a real problem. It is inconvenient for the third lady to meet Jiang Gongyan, but you can. You should also keep this in mind."

There are ladies on the right and left in the house, and they come in order, but there is no distinction between big and small.

So Amei is the second lady, and Li Mu is naturally the third lady.

The right lady weighed the child in her arms, shook it slightly, and hummed softly:

"You and Jiang Gongyan worked together to promote this matter, why can't you still trust him?"

As a queen, my sister personally went to the Zhongduhu Mansion to discuss matters with her Alang a few days ago.

No matter what the reason is, in the end it is still a bit condescending.

As the queen's younger sister, she could naturally vaguely guess some of the reasons - the Chancellor's desk had exerted some pressure, which put some pressure on the palace.

The prime minister passed away and the emperor took charge. The palace, or rather the queen, wanted to use Wei Yan to suppress Alang.

Alang was so angry that he went to patrol the border. At the same time, in the eyes of outsiders, this was Alang taking a step back.

It's just that the queen probably didn't expect that the counterattack would come so quickly - she even handed over a knife behind her with her own hands.

When the Dahan Joint Reserve Bureau was first established, the palace contributed a lot.

Taking advantage of the original share, the palace's voice in the Reserve Bureau is not as small as that of the Xinghan Hui, but it is not small.

Now that the number of seats has suddenly been expanded, and it is still led by the Central Protectorate and the Chancellor, it has virtually diluted the palace's voice.

After all, who doesn’t know the virtues of those aristocratic families?

Whoever gives you a favor will go with you!

If it weren't for the aristocratic family's push, even if the Later Han Dynasty were to eventually fall, they wouldn't have fallen so quickly.

"Why don't I trust him? Isn't he responsible for all the food and fodder for this expedition?"

This expedition used the last resources in the treasury.

However, the summer grain will be put into storage soon. Looking at the appearance of these aristocratic families now, they must be able to seamlessly make up for it soon.

When the prime minister went on an expedition, Jiang Wan was able to provide enough food and clothing for the army.

Feng Duhu believed that Jiang Wan could do the same when it was his turn.

Feng Duhu did not raise his head, but said calmly:

"So in this matter, it's not a question of trust or disbelief, but a question of rules."

"Friendship is friendship, but if you want to do things, you still have to follow the rules."

Having said this, he finally couldn't hold himself back, reached out his hand and gently touched the child's pink cheek:

"If you don't follow the rules, you will not get far."

The right lady bit her lower lip and suddenly asked: "Then you are not afraid that I will go to the palace?"

After hearing this, Feng Duhu raised his head, with a gentle smile on his face, and said softly:

"You are different. I believe in you and I can change the rules for you."

As he spoke, he leaned over the child and kissed Mrs. Right's face gently, then stretched out his hand and rubbed her head:

"You will be buried with me in the Feng family's grave from now on!"

"ah!"

Although they were an old married couple, Feng Duhu suddenly came to do this in front of the other three wives and concubines, which frightened the right lady to let out a short exclamation.

The blush on her cheeks rose like a girl's, and it spread quickly, making Mrs. Right feel as if her face was on fire.

"You, you... what kind of family grave..."

Where do the Feng family’s family graves come from now?

The graves of uncles and aunts are now cemeteries, not to mention that I have never heard of Alang saying that he would designate them as family graves.

Choosing a place for a family tomb is a big deal.

In recent years, Feng Duhu had rarely seen his wife acting like a little girl again, and he couldn't help laughing.

But I guess Madam You is right. If nothing else happens, after her death, she will probably be buried next to the little fat man’s imperial mausoleum.

With the little fat guy's temperament, it is impossible to put himself first.

As for Mrs. Right, she has always had an identity, that is, the female official Shang Gong in the palace, and she also represents the person in charge of the Young Mansion outside.

He has not made any contributions to the palace in these years.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to become Lord Shunde, and the palace even gave her a palace.

When the time comes, I will be buried next to the emperor's mausoleum, and maybe Lord Shunde will also be buried next to the hou mausoleum.

As for Mrs. Zuo, based on General Guan's illustrious reputation, it is more than enough to be buried in the imperial mausoleum as a meritorious official.

Hey, when the time comes, the three of us may not be buried in the Feng family's family grave.

When Ah Chong, Ah Shun, A Mo and others go to worship themselves, wouldn’t they have to go to Adou’s imperial mausoleum to worship?

Thinking of this, Feng Duhu put his arms around Mrs. Zuo and kissed her as well.

Mrs. Zuo's eyes were twitching, her cheeks were red, and she seemed angry but also happy.

"I am leaving!"

"Alang (male gentleman), be careful!"

After leaving the house, a group of children lined up in the courtyard.
