Chapter 795 Doubts

"He asked me how much I ordered. I told him that He's house ordered meat for three months, eight pounds of pork, ten pounds of beef, and ten pounds of mutton every month. In addition, the housekeeper of He's house also wanted to buy some live livestock. He said it was He wants to send it to a farm in the countryside for planting. I will introduce him to Li Laoliu, the house in the corner -" He pointed to the opposite side, "The housekeeper of He Mansion will be raised by him. We ordered some different breeds of livestock and went back. After hearing this, Sun asked for two pounds of mutton and two lamb loins, and then left."

It's really simple.

He Lingchuan thanked him and left.

No matter where the nobles are, whether it is Yuan Kingdom or Bejia, fields and farms are must-have items for asset allocation. Their output not only supplies the annual needs of the owner's family, but more importantly, it can be sent to the market to be sold for money.

The He family moved to Yuandu from Xiazhou. While selling off their assets in the north, they repurchased farmland and farms near Yuandu. This was also a standard practice for newly wealthy people entering the capital.

The second housekeeper Zhao had just arrived in Yuandu City and didn't know much about the place. When buying meat, it was normal for him to ask Butcher Wang to set him up with breeding pigs and sheep so that he could breed them in the village.

Shan Youjun followed behind: "Young Master, is there something wrong?"

"No." He Lingchuan walked out of Niuyangzhuang and looked at the soles of his shoes for good measure. "Let's go back and have dinner. If you hear anything here, don't spread it when you go back."

Shan Youjun immediately responded: "Yes, no fourth person will know."

Sun Hongye is here, did you ask anything else? He Lingchuan put these thoughts aside and went home to eat.

He Chunhua had come back and was beaming at the dinner table, saying that King Yuan was very interested in his suggestion.

He Yue asked: "Father, do you think your Majesty will agree?"

"Of course." He Chunhua said with a smile, "Junyan Dayue thinks this is a good way, which is both affordable and can get military supplies as soon as possible."

After years of speculation, he has understood Yuanjun's temperament. As long as King Yuan thinks he has taken advantage, he will make a happy decision.

But, it’s hard to have both ends of the world. Anyone who "needs both" in matters of family and country often ends up paying a higher price.

In the evening, He Lingchuan called Qiu Hu to his courtyard and asked, "Can you get used to it here?"

"There's nothing that I can't get used to," Qiu Hu replied, "I can get by with fine clothes and fine food, and I can get by by lying on sand and eating chaff. It's just that I'm full all day long and have nowhere to go. It's a bit boring."

Other Ronshan disciples like to visit Yuandu and wallow in the world of mortals. He's not interested.

As for actuarial calculation and accounting, he doesn't even know how to do it.

What he likes to do most, what he is most proficient in, is fighting and killing.

He Lingchuan smiled and said, "Then I'll give you a mission."

Qiu Hu said nothing: "Please tell me."

…

Early the next morning, He Lingchuan unexpectedly saw an old acquaintance again:

Wu Shaoyi.

This guy had just returned from overseas. Hearing that the eldest son of the He family had returned home, he hurriedly came to congratulate him and also asked the housekeeper to get some medicinal materials.

He Lingchuan saw that he had lost a lot of weight. He was originally a stocky man who could compete with Lu Yao, but now he had lost two laps of weight, at least a quarter of his weight, and his temples were also white.

As soon as Wu Shaoyi coughed, his cheeks turned abnormally red.

Back then, he used the technique of replacing flowers and trees to force his life to continue. This was the price he had to pay for survival.

"How is your illness?"

"Originally there were only two years left, so Mr. He took me to see the great shaman of Zhaomandu." Wu Shaoyi said with a smile, "The great shaman prescribed some secret medicine for me. It was said that it could forcibly extend my life for about ten months, but in the end It will be very painful for two months. I came here today to get the medicinal materials that Mr. He ordered for me."

This man's life is numbered. He Lingchuan was so eloquent that he didn't know how to comfort him.

On the contrary, Wu Shaoyi was open-minded: "I have already thought about it. I will just die in the last two months. This life was chosen by force. It is a blessing to live for three more years. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?" ?”

He Lingchuan changed the topic and asked about Zeng Feixiong and others.

It turned out that Zeng Feixiong had gone to the camp west of Shihuan City and was training troops for He Chunhua, and Uncle Hao was not in Yuandu either.

As for Wu Shaoyi, he still has to follow He Chunhua south to put down the rebellion.

Yes, although He Chunhua was working with King Yuan to get Qiao, he knew very well that in the end he would have to shoulder the task of suppressing the rebellion.

Wu Shaoyi was ill and could not go on the field to fight, but he had rich experience in fighting. Not only could he make suggestions, but he also had a better grasp of the psychology of "rebels" than others - wasn't he a general under "Holy Master" Hong Xiangqian in the past? , and was later recruited by He Chunhua.

Therefore, He Chunhua still wanted to take him with him.

Wu Shaoyi sighed: "After the war in the south is over, Master He will allow me to return to Yuandu to take care of myself and live a peaceful life for two years."

He Lingchuan smiled: "I'm afraid it's not up to us to decide whether our life is safe or not."

Wu Shaoyi lightly clapped her hands for these words: "The young master is absolutely right. There is a rebellion in the south, and there is Dong Haoming in the northwest. Alas! The people of Yuan Kingdom don't know when they will be able to hope for peace."

"I think dad is still confident about countering the rebellion in the south this time." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "There is no way out, and the turning point may be just a thought away."

He and Wu Shaoyi have different mentality. The latter can only drift with the tide as the sun sets, but He Lingchuan will always be optimistic at all times.

Those who have experienced the Battle of Xushan and still escaped from Lingxu City alive have the right to be optimistic.

The two chatted about old times again, and He Lingchuan's heart moved: "By the way, do you know where Sun Hongye went?"

"Sun Hongye?" Wu Shaoyi looked confused, "He left?"

He is not even as well-informed as He Lingchuan.

He Lingchuan was helpless.

However, Wu Shaoyi continued, "Young Master, you can ask Shan Youjun. He has a good relationship with Sun Hongye."

"Huh?" He Lingchuan was a little surprised, "Can they go together?"

Why didn't Shan Youjun mention it?

"They are of similar age, both work under Lord He, and have no relatives or friends around them. It's not strange to get close to each other." Wu Shaoyi recalled, "I remember that I seemed to see them drinking at Songhua Tower in Dunyu a few days ago, and Shan Youjun borrowed fifty taels of silver from Sun Hongye."

Fifty taels? For a guest official with a fixed salary, this is not a small amount of money.

Sun Hongye was willing to lend 50,000 yuan to Shan Youjun, which itself shows that the two have a good relationship.

He Lingchuan said a few times and changed the subject.

At this time, the servant reported that the distinguished guest of the royal court had visited!

Wu Shaoyi knew what to do and got up to say goodbye and left.

The soul-catching mirror immediately shouted, "Dan Youjun said clearly that he was not familiar with Sun Hongye! He lied!"

They were so close that he dared to ask for money, haha!

Has he paid back the money?

He Lingchuan hummed.

Why did Dan Youjun lie? Was he afraid of getting into trouble because he knew the truth, or was he related to Sun Hongye's disappearance?
