Chapter 340

"Building the county mansion? Expanding the governor's mansion?" Looking at the official document handed over, Liang Feng raised his eyebrows, "Such things have to be presented?"

Duan Qin didn't change his face: "The Shangdang sealed the country, and only changed the prefect's mansion into the mansion of the prefect. It's not simple, and it's not in line with the etiquette. The six divisions are all in the governor's mansion. The place is small and cannot be moved. We should build another big one. The general's mansion or the governor's mansion. The minister knows that the lord is frugal by nature, but if he is in his position, he should do what he does. If he is contemptuous, it will also make others feel neglected."

What Duan Qin said did make sense.In this hierarchical society, the level of residence must also match the status.Back then, Liang Feng was just the governor of Bingzhou, so it was no problem to live in the governor's mansion.But now that he has moved to be a general and become a county prince, his status has long been different.It's not right to still live in the governor's mansion.

However, no matter whether it is moving to a new general's mansion or rebuilding the county mansion, the cost will not be small.Back then, Sima Teng built the Governor's Mansion to be extremely luxurious for his own comfort. Even if he added six divisions, it was not completely occupied, let alone a backyard that was comparable in size to the waiya. There were only his father and son. Add Yiyan, it's almost empty.Under such circumstances, it is really a waste to set up another General's Mansion or Dudu's Mansion.

As for the county government, it is even more useless.He spends most of the year in Jinyang. Wouldn't it be a waste to build an empty house and put it in Shangdang?

But that cannot be said.

Liang Feng pondered for a moment, before he said: "Siruo's words are reasonable. It's just that after the severe drought, there may be pests. I don't know how much money and food will be used next year. It's not the time to build a house now. The governor's mansion and the governor's mansion can The two mansions stand side by side, and part of the inner office is secluded to serve as the official residence."

In this way, instead of expanding the residence of the lord, it decreased a lot.Duan Qin immediately shook his head: "It's so inappropriate..."

Stretching out his hand to stop what Duan Qin was about to say, Liang Feng said: "It's not that we don't want to build it, it's just that we follow the authority. If I build a house, how many aristocratic families below will have to follow suit? The money still has to be spent wisely. If it's for a mere mansion, delay Big things are worth the candle.”

Shipyards in Jizhou have been shut down for more than half a year due to severe drought.If he had spare money, he might as well go to repair the ship!There is also a case in history that the money for repairing the ship was transferred to the garden, and the final tragedy is not mentioned.If he is really self-reliant in the future, Jiangdong has tens of thousands of boats, so he can't compete with others on horseback, right?No matter what type of ship it is, it must be developed as soon as possible to establish a navy.

Seeing that the lord is so determined, Duan Qin had no choice but to back down.Having such a thrifty lord, although it is a bit of a headache for some people, is also a blessing for Bingzhou.As for the mansion, it may not be impossible to wait until Yuzhou and Yanzhou are recovered and moved to Luoyang.

■

"The general's mansion is a bit small." After entering the courtyard, Liu Gong couldn't help complaining, "It's too inconvenient for such a small courtyard and far away from the city..."

He performed extremely well in the battle of Yecheng before, and Liu Gong came to Jinyang this time to receive his achievements.Hearing that his general has a mansion, he came here to grab a meal with a grumpy face.They are all confidantes who fought hard on the battlefield, and Yiyan did not refuse.It's just that Liu Gong's mouth is really a bit cheap, and he just said that when he heard it, and the corners of the mouths of the people next to him twitched.

Wang Long quietly kicked him at the side, and said with an apologetic smile: "The general's house is small, but it has all the internal organs. The scenery here is so beautiful, and it is very convenient to ride a horse or a car, and it is also close to the barracks. Moving to the city, the daylight If you squeeze in and out, it's annoying."

And this one?Liu Gong hurriedly said: "So that's it! Hey, General, isn't your steward from the original team? You came here to retire."

"That's right, the general is kind. Those who return home, the general will also give some subsidies during the holidays." For this, Wang Long really admired it. No wonder the soldiers are so devoted to General Yi.Following the war, there are officials, and there are people who are disabled, how can we not make people feel grateful?

"It's just that the family still lacks a man in charge of the house..." Liu Gong just wanted to continue, when Wang Long coughed violently as if he was choking.

Yiyan also ignored Liu Gong's chatter, and said flatly, "Are you here to drink, or to chat?"

"Eat wine! Eat wine!" Wang Long and the others hurriedly said.

Liu Gong was a little puzzled, but the wine invited by the general was very rare.And this time in the battle of Yecheng, he once again fought side by side with the general and made great achievements, which is the time to be excited.How can you push back and forth when you have wine?Excitedly, he raised his glass and toasted with others.

Although there are no musicians to add to the fun, these soldiers eat and drink, and they always make a fuss.It's an order and a song, but it doesn't mean to be cold at all.

Today, Yi Yanbei's Shaochun was a good one. After drinking it, Liu Gong was so confused that he drank too much water, so he couldn't hold back and ran to the latrine.After splashing water, he straightened his clothes indiscriminately, and Liu Gong sauntered out.His stomach was churning so badly that he wanted to vomit, but he couldn't vomit.He was about to take a breath when he saw Wang Long walking towards him.

"Liu San, why don't you wink, kid? It's better not to ask about the general's affairs in the future!" Wang Long whispered like a thief.

Liu Gong's family is the third, but not many people call him that now.As soon as he came out of the latrine, he was taught such a face-to-face lesson. He couldn't figure it out, and stammered: "General... Didn't the general say, well, good things are coming..."

Wang Long showed a toothache expression, and grabbed the opponent's shoulders: "What a good or bad thing! The general's personal affairs are always something we can't worry about! Talk less, drink more!"

His voice was rare and severe, even if he was dizzy from drinking, Liu Gong still felt something was wrong, and nodded in a daze.After persuading the big mouth, Wang Long didn't dare to relax, he even dragged and dragged him back to the table, poured him down hard, and made him lie under the table.

After finally eradicating the disaster, Wang Long also breathed a sigh of relief.It's just that he hurt the enemy by a thousand, and he hurt himself by eight hundred. He also drank a little too much. Looking at the general on the chief seat who didn't change his face, he felt very suffocated in his heart.

No one knows better than Wang Long, a close friend, what the general meant by "good things are about to come".Drill in the barracks, and don't forget to go back to the city every day.When he came back from the expedition, he didn't live in a good mansion, so he wanted to report to the governor's mansion.The life of his general is not complicated, but the only thing that is different is the lord!

It's the lord!

When Wang Long guessed it just now, his calf was so frightened that his calf was about to twist, and he tried his best to suppress the idea.However, the more depressed you are, the more clearly you can remember the past.When the general attacked Youzhou and returned to Shangdang, he was by his side.I have also witnessed the scene of the lord anxiously leaving the customs and waiting for the general to lose his composure.It's just that at the time, I didn't think so much.

But now, it's impossible to think about it!

In fact, among the gentry, many people prefer male sex.Don't talk about putting on makeup, there are still many men dressed as women, and they stand and lie with others.There are no women in the army, and such things are not uncommon.Wang Long didn't think there was anything surprising.But the person the general prefers is the lord!

If others knew about it, how would they treat the general?He fought these battles through life and death, and what kind of comments will he end up with?

The general is a Capricorn.Wang Long himself is also a Capricorn, and he knows that others despise them.If you fall in love with me like this, those scholars are afraid that they will poke their hearts.If the lord favors others, how will the general deal with himself?Didn't he ever think about this?

Not knowing if he was staring too engrossed, Yiyan raised his head and looked over.Stirred by the calm and contented eyes, Wang Long's mind became hot, he took a step forward, and said in a low voice: "It's better for the general to marry a wife..."

This endless sentence made Yiyan's eyebrows twitch.However, in just a moment, he understood the meaning of the other party's words.Those blue eyes showed a little smile: "It's okay."

He was a little confused by the laughter, Wang Long felt his tongue was about to tie up: "General, general...we are from the army, or not, it's not appropriate to join this..."

"Participate in what?" Yi Yan raised the wine cup, and drank the contents of the glass slowly.

Wang Long was taken aback when he asked this question.Yes, join what?The general has never been involved in politics, let alone making friends with civil servants, and even his cronies occasionally drink wine to catch up on the old days, and never mention political affairs at all.No party formation, no selfishness, if it weren't for the incredible seizure of power, it would be flawless.

But that's not what it said!That is the master after all!

When the spirit of wine came up, Wang Long also became a little anxious: "Is the general willing to do this? If those civil servants know, how can they slander the general..."

Yiyan interrupted the other party: "They know."

"What?" Wang Long felt that his jaw was about to drop.Know?Who knows?

"It doesn't matter." Yi Yan ignored the other party's shock and said again.

If it is because of this matter, is it okay to be ruined?If you lose your official position, is it okay to lose your wealth?Wang Long couldn't turn his head around, and after a while he squeezed out a sentence: "If there is no long-term concern, there must be near-term worries!"

These words are so polite that it is not like someone like Wang Long can say them.Yiyan put down the wine cup and asked, "What was the reason you joined the army?"

What for?Just warm clothes.

However, before Wang Long could answer, Yi Yan asked again: "What are you joining the army for now?"

For the sake of food and clothing, in order to stand out.Step by step, the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, success and fame.

"What about the future?"

Another question came before him.

"General!" Wang Long shouted angrily.

Yiyan smiled: "I can stop killing, the lord is alive. That's enough."

Simple sentence.

Wang Long suddenly choked up.Because of that magnanimous and natural smile.

Did the general have any foresight?Maybe there is.But nothing can compare to the words "stop killing living people".Are they desperately working hard just for themselves?In fact, no, from the moment he got the military land and was able to support his family, in fact, everyone was someone they desperately wanted to protect for themselves.

It's just the general, and the lord, not just for a few people.

Compared with this great wish, maybe what he worries about is really not that important.Foresight is only meaningful when you can live to the "far".

Sighing in frustration, Wang Long held back for a long time, and finally said: "The general should be careful. Don't let him know Liu San's outspokenness."

It's not just Liu Gong, I'm afraid there are many others who want to play tricks on the general.It's better to hide this weakness.No, maybe not just a soft spot?The person next to the lord's bed is better than the rank of the army, right?For a while, Wang Long couldn't figure out whether to worry or not.

"Go and drink your wine." Yi Yan waved his hand casually, and threw the jug over.

One after the other, Wang Long scratched his head and drank from the spout of the pot without taking a cup.As long as the general is still his general, what are you doing with so much leisure!
