Chapter 657 Her Father Has Money
As soon as Zhao Yulin returned to the office, Yang Xingyun followed him in and happily reported the situation on Liaoyang Road.
He nodded and drank tea as he listened, and told Xingyun that he already knew most of it. The most important thing now was to adjust the deployment and prepare to attack the Mobei royal court next year.
The navy also needs to make temporary adjustments, divide the East China Sea formation and the South China Sea formation, determine their respective defense areas, and build ships according to the plan. At present, the court is not rich, and there is no mission to sail far and fight. When we have money in the future, we will build brand new ships and warships to travel around the world.
Yang Xingyun was still excited about conquering the small country in the South China Sea, but suddenly he was confused. He looked at him in confusion, not knowing where the voyage Zhao Yulin mentioned would end and he had to report to him.
Zhao Yulin waved his hand and sent the man away, asking Xingyun to go back and accompany his wife first.
The next day, Zhao Feiyan took him out to attend the wedding of Zhao Ruilan in Huaxi Village. The two parted at the entrance of the village. Zhao Yulin rode his horse straight to Qiongzhou under the escort of the guards.
When Zhao Feiyan arrived at Huaxi Villa, it was already decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. The emperor happily took her in and asked, "Where is Yulin's son-in-law? Why can't I see him?"
Zhao Feiyan said that Yulin'er had to deal with urgent military affairs and could not come, so she asked her to accompany her father to have a few drinks.
The emperor didn't see Zhao Yulin coming, and although he was not worried about Zhao Ruilan causing trouble, he was inevitably a little disappointed. However, later on, when he saw Yu Jie, You Shi and Hua Yue, the important ministers of the state in Jinguan City, coming to congratulate him, he felt much better, and fell asleep in bed after drinking so much as the ministers on his left and right raised their glasses to celebrate.
Zhao Ruilan originally wanted to see Zhao Yulin for the last time, but he simply didn't show up and went directly to Qiongzhou to hide away. Zhao Ruilan was very upset. After being taken into the new house of the Shi family, she tore off her veil and smashed things in the room in anger.
The eldest son of the Shi family, facing the few guests in his house, recalled the foolish things he had done in the past few years, which was like overturning a five-flavor bottle. Shi's son also looked helpless. If his son's wedding was still in Lin'an City, it would definitely attract half of the city's people to watch, and the gifts would be overwhelming.
All the guests had left, but the eldest son still didn't go to the bridal chamber. Shi's son persuaded him to go, saying that she was a princess of the Song Dynasty who had once shone brightly throughout the world. People even pardoned him for the three years of his unserved sentence.
The eldest son felt very aggrieved, and while drunk he told his son Shi that he didn't want it, didn't want it, and told him to give it to his father.
What kind of talk is this? His son wants his father-in-law to spend the wedding night with his new wife?
Shi's son was so angry that he was shaking all over. He yelled "How dare you!" and ordered the servants to drag and push the eldest son into the bridal chamber and lock the door.
Haha. As soon as this guy entered the room, their thoughts changed immediately.
The eldest son was drunk and when he suddenly saw the beautiful woman in luxurious clothes and exuding a charming aura, he immediately forgot about Zhao Ruilan's past and involuntarily pressed his body against her.
This guy has been locked up in prison for too long. He was so excited to see the old sow, not to mention that the person standing in front of him was a young and beautiful woman.
Zhao Ruilan was a veteran of the battlefield and was an expert in bed. She stopped having sex after leaving the desert. She had been accustomed to having sex with her husband for a long time, so how could she not yearn for happiness? Seeing the strong and powerful young master who was training in prison was like seeing a table full of delicious food. She immediately put on a smiling face and walked towards him slowly.
The two were old acquaintances, and they quickly stuck together. Without saying a word, the eldest master extinguished the red candle, and they joined forces to attack the big flower bed.
After one night, Zhao Ruilan's ever-changing and superb skills in flirting with men had already made the eldest master awed at her.
However, the good times did not last long. Three days after the marriage, Shi's son asked the eldest son to set off and take his princess wife away quickly.
Because he had promised the Ministry of Justice to pardon the eldest son with conditions attached, which was that he would leave Chengdu immediately after the marriage and return to his hometown Qiantang to be a small deacon and accept the supervision and reform of the Qiantang County Government. If he violated the law again, he would be severely punished.
Although Shi's son was reluctant, he still prepared the luggage for the couple and urged them to set off. He knew that Zhao Yulin kept his word, and not coming to congratulate him this time was a clear warning.
What if Zhao Yulin wanted to play a trick on his Shi family? Maybe he would start from here. He would just feel angry and speechless.
Qiantang County is the Shi family's old nest after all, and he would feel more at ease sending the two kids back there rather than keeping them in Chengdu.
After listening to Shi's son's nagging more than three times, the eldest son knew that they had to leave, so he pulled Zhao Ruilan, who was reluctant to go out, onto the passenger ship at the South Gate Pier. The couple looked at the city tower from afar, reluctant to leave, and only got into the cabin after the boat turned a corner.
After tasting Zhao Ruilan's sourness, the eldest son felt like he had picked up a treasure. He rubbed her butt with his hands and said apologetically: his family had long been in decline, and this wedding had emptied the family's wealth, so she had to learn to live frugally in the future.
Zhao Ruilan said disdainfully: Don't worry, her father has plenty of money, just serve me well. She heard from her aunt that Zhao Feiyan rewarded her father with thousands of strings of money at a time, and if he didn't have money to spend, she could ask her father for more.
The eldest son Yin smiled and touched the woman's face with his rough hands and said: You have asked for it for three days in a row and it is still not enough. You are really a shrew.
This guy has rough hands and a foul mouth. He is really bad at talking and keeps bringing up irrelevant issues.
Before he could finish his words, Zhao Ruilan had already stood up and slapped him twice, angrily saying with a fierce look on her face: Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about? You don't think of me as a good person but instead come to slander me. How dare you.
From now on you can only be a dog in front of me, remember that.
The eldest son was stunned with shock, watching Zhao Ruilan transform into a completely different person like a god of death. He never expected that this woman could be so cold-blooded and domineering.
Zhao Yulin had lived in Qiongzhou for three days. After inspecting the three nearby counties, he returned to Chengdu with Hulan.
Whenever he arrived in a county, he would go deep into the villages and towns to talk with the poor people to understand their situation, open the villagers' granaries and rice jars to see if there was any grain, and go into the fields to inquire about farming matters.
Hu Lan fell happily into his arms and asked: Why are you so concerned about farming?
He said that if a local official did not care about farming, the people would do their own thing and do their own thing. The fields would become barren, the harvest would be poor, and the people would go hungry. If the people had no food to eat, they would rebel, and the ruler would lose his country.
The woman said she didn't understand, but only knew to do what her brother asked her to do.
Zhao Yulin said that’s right.
He saw that under Hulan's governance, Qiongzhou had changed a lot in a short period of time. Several new streets were built in the city, and the vacant wasteland was cleared and planted with crops. The government at the county and township levels was stable, and the officials were very diligent. He was very satisfied.
In particular, the newly built Huojing Town in Huojing County has expanded rapidly, with workshops springing up one after another, and its thriving scene cannot be concealed .
Hu Lan felt sweet in her heart after receiving his praise, and she fell asleep quickly in his arms.
The couple had a rare time together these days, and every night they would plough the fields and plant crops in various ways, calling it making the most of their time. Hu Lan knew that he would soon return to Chengdu, and he was even more desperate when he caught him last night.
Seeing that Hu Lan was fast asleep, he opened the curtains and asked the guards to walk slower and more steadily.
In Huozhou in the northwest, Gao Jin has received a military order to return to Chengdu. The New Song Kingdom is preparing to award titles to the outstanding generals of the Shenwei Army, and Gao Jin must come back to accept this honor. He ordered the entire army to accept Wang Hanchen's command and dispatch and fight bravely.
All the generals responded with a crisp "Yes."
Gao Jin was brave and fought hard, and strictly followed Zhao Yulin's military orders. After he defeated Wulianghe Xianfeng in the battle of Huozhou, he never fought again, but the army did not advance quickly.
The Shenwei Army was limited by the drought of this road. The unique climate characteristics required logistics to advance in great strides. This guy became very cautious according to Zhao Yulin's request and only followed up.
Hubili sent someone to contact them, asking for a truce between the two armies and to provide assistance with military equipment and supplies. He simply sent all the captured military equipment, which really helped Hubili a lot.
The weapons used by the Chagatai Army were almost the same as those used by the Hubli Group. After Wulianghe unexpectedly received Gao Jin's weapons and supplies, he was no longer afraid of having no weapons to use. He chased Ali Buge and beat him up one after another , and frequently sent good news to Hubli.
Hubli's army, which was on the western expedition, had advanced firearms and the newly manufactured Huihui cannons and catapults were extremely powerful. They advanced westward and soon took control of the coast of the Yibo Sea. They advanced thousands of miles to the southwest and headed straight for Shamalkand.
Hubili was very satisfied after seeing the military report sent by Dong Qinwei. The situation was developing in the direction he designed. He said to the queen beside him: Look, this is the strategy. We occupy Chagatai's territory, and then use his soldiers and weapons to attack Ali Buge. If we continue to chase him, we can take over Xuliewu's territory, and our land will become larger and wider.
How could the woman know the Khan's great talent and strategy? She gently refilled his bottle of mare's milk, turned to his back and gave him a light massage to relieve his fatigue. Hubli closed his eyes in great enjoyment.
His younger brother Xu Liewu became nervous.
Xu Liewu led his troops to the Western Expedition under the personal supervision of Hubli. All in all, he stayed in Persia for a short time. All his belongings for the Western Expedition were provided by Hubli.
However, Xuliewu, like Hubili, had the appearance of an emperor and great ambitions. When he saw Hubili heading west, he knew that his brother could no longer stay in the east and was going to the west to grab territory, which would ruin his chance of becoming king or emperor.
Xu Liewu was very conflicted. All the capable generals under him were brave warriors who had fought and died among the soldiers sent by Hubili to the west. They were all grateful to Hubili. He wanted to overthrow the table and start a new business, so he was worried that these generals would follow him.
This guy didn't dare to send troops to fight against Hubli openly, and secretly sent 30,000 soldiers to Alibuga. After one battle, his strength was immediately tested. His 30,000 strong soldiers were completely crushed by Hubli's army, and the remaining survivors were all incorporated into Hubli's new army.
Hu Bili wrote a letter to strongly accuse Xu Liewu of being ungrateful, and the guy suddenly panicked.
