Beiyang new warlord

"The general is not tired, this work is not a problem!"

One sentence reprimanded Su Changmei, and Mao Jue narrowed his eyes immediately, looking at Zhao Cheng's pale, scholarly face in a haze.

"How much farmland does the Xiatie Station have, and how much grain does it store?"

"General!"

The elder with dangerously narrowed eyes, Zhao Cheng replied with a hypocritical smile on his face.

"Isn't the field record of the subway station handed over to you at the end?"

"It's really only a few thousand acres"

Mao Jue's tone didn't seem to be intended to produce some food. The number of local farms has always been the lifeline of the generals, and Mao Jue's hand seemed to be killing Zhao's family. Seeing Zhao Cheng's gloomy and stormy face At the front, Su Changmei hurriedly clasped her fists again to interrupt.

"General!"

But at this juncture, Wen Meng hurried in from outside the door.

"General!"

"What's the matter?"

"Shuai Mao, Shuai Mao's boat will arrive at Tieshan in half an hour, send a letter from the soldiers, let us welcome!"

Chapter 53. Timely Rain

The port of Tieshan has become pitch black, and it is almost seven or eight o'clock at this time. The fierce sea breeze blows everyone's collars in the port, and some of them shrink their necks.

However, the faces of the few people standing in front were different, especially Zhao Cheng, whose face became extremely ugly. On this end, he had just pushed Mao Jue, and soon my father came, saying that the strong dragon does not fight the local snake , but there is also the saying that a small arm can't twist a thigh, even if the local power is intertwined, but he is only a small chief after all, if Mao Wenlong really wants to make trouble with him, he can't do it.

Now the white-faced scholar has regretted it a bit, he shouldn't have confronted Mao Jue just now, and the handsome son is a new official, so what if he took out [-] mu of cultivated land as a meeting gift?

Now let's see what Mao Jue will say in front of Mao Shuai.

Standing at the front with arms folded, Mao Jue was also very complicated. It was a bit difficult for him to treat Mao Wenlong as his real father. After all, he came here by accident, and his sense of belonging was too low. , Mao Wenlong really appeared, and it was indeed heartwarming.

In this kind of thought, the sound of paddling water became louder and louder, and a medium-sized ship slowly leaned against the shore, and then a dozen soldiers ran down first, leading a few subordinates, Mao Jue He took the lead in kneeling down with his helmet in his arms, and raised his voice to greet Dao.

"The last general, in cooperation with Tieshan, pays respects to the commander!"

"stand up!"

Holding on to the boat ladder and walking down slowly, Mao Wenlong actually laughed heartily from a long distance away, and clasped his hands upwards towards Mao Jue.

"You and my father and son, why are there so many vain courtesy, get up, come to the eldest father, I haven't seen you for a while, I didn't expect my son to become a character!"

"You, too, get up."

"Thank you handsome!"

I really don't know why Mao Wenlong was so excited, Mao Jue hurriedly walked two steps to his side, lowered his eyebrows and called his father handsome.With a slap on his shoulder, Mao Wenlong looked at it again with satisfaction, and then moved his head to the generals of Dongjiang, but his eyes narrowed dangerously.

"How is my son guarding the Dongjiang River recently? Are there any treacherous and rebellious people?"

At this moment, Zhao Cheng's white-faced scholarly face, who was clasping his fists and lowering his head, became tense, and Tian Tao next to him showed a little excitement, but Mao Jue clasped his fists indifferently.

"Returning to Father Commander, thanks to the great help of several generals, Jiannu was repelled, and now the Iron Mountain is as stable as Mount Tai."

"Oh, all right."

Zhao Cheng's heart seemed to have fallen into his stomach again, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand in front of him, bowing his head respectfully.

"Handsome, when you come to Tieshan, all the generals in Tieshan are cheering. The last general has already set up a banquet at Shiliting, and please handsome!"

"There is no need for a banquet!"

Slapping upwards, Mao Wenlong simply vetoed: "There's no need for a banquet. I'm busy with military affairs. I'm here to see this incompetent dog. Get back! My son, go with me!"

Seeing Mao Wenlong turn around and board the boat again, He Momo, Zhao Cheng, and Tian Tao's eyes flickered again. This general is really favored. This handsome Mao has been tossing around all night just for him Holding on to the scene, Mao Jue didn't think too much about it, and followed Mao Wenlong to board the boat again.

"Good boy! You have done a good thing, and now you are hiding it from your father!"

As soon as he entered the cabin, Mao Wenlong suddenly laughed again, and patted Mao Jue's shoulder in a crazy way, so frightened that he almost shuddered and stuck on the threshold.What's the surprise?Reaching out to close the door, Mao Jue cupped his fists depressed.

"Father, son, did son get into some trouble again?"

"If your kid caused me more trouble in the past, pay him back!" With a rough slap, Mao Wenlong laughed again and sat on the chair, pointing at Mao Jue with one finger and laughing.

"You kid still want to hide it from me? Let me ask you, a few days ago, you asked that Zeng to sell a crystal mirror to Jiangnan? My boy, such a thing sold for 660 six taels. Back then, your father and I risked our lives to take back Jinzhou City with more than 3000 brothers, and the court only rewarded [-] taels of silver. You boy earned all the silver that your father and I have worked so hard for so many years! Yours Beiyangjing also made you a lot of limelight in Jiangnan."

Unlike other traditional scholar-bureaucrats, Mao Wenlong was rebellious since he was a child. He liked martial arts but not literature. Other families regarded business as a lowly profession and were ashamed of raising money. He was very straightforward and did not hide it.

Mao Jue was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked hurriedly, "Brother Qian Zeng returned to Phi Island?"

"Well, I approved a note for him, asking his boat to come directly to Tieshan and pull all your things over there! Do you still have the mirror you gave him?"

It was a time when money was short, and it was really time for the money to come back, and it was also a good thing that Mao Wenlong asked him for something, Mao Jue nodded hurriedly.

"There are still two or three sides in Su Yi's place. If the commander-in-chief wants more, I will go back and start the furnace!"

"Two or three mirrors are enough, and you don't need to make too many mirrors. One or two mirrors a year is enough. You have to be careful about Qian Zeng. These Jiangnan guys are full of evil intentions."

Mao Wenlong was not polite to him, he nodded his head to the more than [-] taels of mirrors, and reminded Mao Jue, but rare things are more expensive, this reason Mao Jue is natural, he nodded his head quickly while suppressing his joy.

"Here, send someone to get it!"

"Don't worry, this time you cut off the heads of more than [-] slaves and let them fetch them together!"

Stroking his beard, Mao Wenlong still nodded with satisfaction, but he scolded Mao Jue.

"You have done a good job in this matter. You have established your prestige in Tieshan and made military achievements. These days, the bitter talker behind Yuan Manzi is attacking us in Dongjiang for laboring and paying for teachers. It is futile and impeaching you for getting an official too quickly. , even the emperor seems to regret it a little bit, this is good, these heads just stop their mouths."

"But you too, you are the only incense in our Mao family, how can you rush to the front line in person? There are three major unfilial acts and no descendants. If you have something good or bad, how will your father and I explain to the ancestors of the Mao family?"

"This, save me, I won't do it next time!"

Does this count as concern?It made Mao Jue's heart warm again, and he answered with clasped fists.

After narrating some trivial matters, Wen Meng quickly took the head and the mirror together without looking at it, and ordered the old servant to accept it. Finally, Mao Wenlong took out another official document and threw it away. gave him.

"I won't give you the salary. Without Lushun, the towns of Dongjiang will also spend a lot of money. This time, I will broadcast you [-] shi of grain, and I will send it along with the boat tomorrow. Go back and have a look if you have time. My aunt has been talking about you many times recently."

"Also remember, don't let me take any more risks!"

Facing Mao Wenlongshu's raised fingers, Mao Jue clasped his fists and bowed with a warmer smile.

"Father, don't worry, my son has recorded it!"
