- Xiao Mansion.
The officials were sitting in the living room with some restraint. They originally thought that Xiao Yeyang asked them to come to dinner just to be polite, but he didn't expect that he actually called them over.
The lively official saw that the atmosphere was a little gloomy, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, I wonder what is installed on the windows and roof of your house? It's winter, and there are no lights in the house. It's like this." Bright."
Xiliang is cold in winter. In order to prevent the cold wind from penetrating, heavy curtains are hung on the doors and windows. As a result, the light in the room is very dim.
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "That's glass."
Fan Tong¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°Is this what the Xiangyang Glass Factory that was just built outside the city produces?¡±
Xiao Yeyang nodded: "When you leave later, take a few pieces back with you. The glass factory has just been built not long ago, and it hasn't produced much. After next spring, there should be something for sale in the city." .¡±
Hearing this, everyone looked happy and thanked them one after another.
Fan Tong was more courageous. He stood by the window and knocked on the glass. He smiled and said: "We in Ganzhou are very windy and sandy. With this glass, we don't need to replace the window paper frequently in the future."
An official immediately followed and said: "Since Mr. Xiao came, the life of our Ganzhou guards has improved a lot. Not to mention other things, let's talk about briquettes, which has benefited the people a lot."
¡°Now that we have glass, we can imagine that our days will be better and better in the future.¡±
Others quickly agreed: "That's right."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and chatted with everyone. Not long after, Defu walked in: "Master, the food is ready. Madam said it can be served."
Xiao Yeyang stood up and said, "Everyone, come with me to the dining room to eat." After saying that, he took the lead and walked out of the room.
The officials sat down in the dining room one by one, and soon they saw the maids coming in carrying plates of various vegetables.
It is too cold in Ganzhou Wei in winter, and the food will get cold very quickly after it is cooked. Daohua simply does not cook any more and just uses hot pot to entertain the health officials. This is simple and convenient, and there is no need to worry about the food getting cold.
Looking at the green vegetables on the table, many officials had expressions of emotion on their faces.
In Ganzhouwei, it is really difficult to eat fresh vegetables in winter.
"I didn't expect Master Xiao to value them so much. These vegetables must have been transported by the Xiao Mansion from outside, right?"
Fan Tong is a foodie. He looked at the vegetables that were still being placed on the table and said quickly: "Master Xiao, this is too expensive for you. Let's just eat whatever we want."
Xiao Yeyang also knew how precious fresh vegetables were to his heart, and said with a smile: "I have been here in Ganzhou Wei for a year, and I have never invited you to dinner because I am busy with official duties. This is the first time I invite you to my house. How can you be casual?"
"This is a hot pot ingredient specially prepared by my wife. Considering your taste, it has two flavors: spicy and non-spicy. Please use your chopsticks to try it."
Everyone thanked them, picked up their chopsticks, and got out of hand.
Dong Yuanxuan, Su Hongxin and Xiao Yeyang were sitting at the same table. Looking at the dining room that instantly became lively, Su Hongxin said with a smile: "It's a good idea for everyone to sit around and eat hot pot together in winter."
Dong Yuanxuan: "There is a premise, there must be enough side dishes." If they treat you to hot pot, they will probably have to eat only meat.
Su Hongxin immediately looked at Xiao Yeyang: "Where did my brothers and sisters get such fresh vegetables?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "She built a greenhouse with glass on the village that was opened up."
Su Hongxin said quickly: "Then I will take some back to eat when I leave."
Xiao Yeyang glanced sideways: "The temperature here is too low, and the yield of vegetables is not high."
Su Hongxin stopped talking: "Then I'll eat more now."
Xiao Yeyang shook his head, and when Su Hongxin and Dong Yuanxuan left, he still packed a basket of tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, etc. for them.
As for the others, they only got a few pieces of glass.
That¡¯s it, everyone is quite satisfied.
?¡
After seeing off the officials, Xiao Yeyang returned to his room.
When Daohua came back from her business, she saw Xiao Yeyang lying on the kang with his back stretched out, and asked with a smile: "Are your people eating well?"
Xiao Yeyang sat up and leaned on the bedside: "You brought out so many delicious foods to entertain them, and everyone's mouths were full of oil."
Daohua smiled and sat on the edge of the bed: "This time you are hosting a banquet for your colleagues, and it is also to celebrate your promotion to the commander. Naturally, I have to prepare more sumptuous preparations, otherwise, wouldn't it beIs it to discredit the palace? "
Xiao Yeyang smiled and hugged Daohua into his arms, smelling the fragrance in her hair.
Daohua leaned in Xiao Yeyang's arms and said with a smile: "After you use both soft and hard tactics this time, the officials in the guard station should all obey you, right?"
Xiao Yeyang laughed and said, "Anyone who still wants to continue doing what he does at the Wei Institute will stop."
"That's good."
Seeing the tired look on Xiao Yeyang's eyebrows, Daohua took off her shoes and got on the kang: "You lie down and I'll give you a massage."
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua: "You have been busy for a long time, aren't you tired?"
Daohua: "Compared with you running around outside every day, this is nothing."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and lay on the kang.
After Daohua waited for Xiao Yeyang to lie down, she sat on him and started massaging him.
Xiao Yeyang had an expression of enjoyment on his face: "I really want to stay at home and not go out."
Daohua: "Danhe has taken it back. You should be able to rest for a while, right?"
Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "Do you still remember that Ma Teng?"
Daohua nodded: "Remember, what happened to him?"
Xiao Yeyang: "That guy is quite capable. I asked him to pay attention to the movements of the Xiliao people. Not long ago, he sent a message, saying that the Xiliao people have also been training troops in the past two years."
"The border troops here in Xiliang are in disarray, not to mention their combat capabilities. Because of the incompetence of the guards, they can't even eat. How can such an army be expected to fight?"
As he said that, he paused.
"This time, in addition to promoting me to the commander of the Ganzhou Guard, the emperor's uncle also gave me the tiger talisman that can mobilize the Xiliang border army."
"There are four guard posts bordering Xiliang and Xiliao. The emperor's uncle wants the other three guard posts to be established as important military towns like the Ganzhou Guard."
Daohua¡¯s face fell: ¡°Then you¡¯re going to be busy again?¡±
Xiao Yeyang nodded helplessly: "It is convenient to build a military town. On the other hand, I have to inspect the defense areas of the other three guard posts."
Daohua was silent for a moment and said with some worry: "Didn't you say before that most of the commanders of the nine guards in Xiliang are the same commanders? Will they cooperate with you?"
Xiao Yeyang snorted: "I have the Tiger Talisman, and the border troops dare not disobey orders." As he said that, he frowned, "If the guard station doesn't cooperate, it will indeed be trouble."
The food rations for the frontier army were provided by the Guard. If the Guard really wanted to take advantage of the situation, it would be a headache for him.
Xiao Yeyang sighed: "I have too few people who can be used. They are all people who stretch out their fists when they disagree. I lack counselors who can coordinate the relationship between all parties."
Daohua: "Then what should I do? Write a letter back to Beijing and ask my grandfather and uncle to help introduce a few people?"
Xiao Yeyang thought for a moment: "This is the only way. The education here in Xiliang is too backward. Nine and a half out of ten people cannot read a single Chinese character. It is too difficult to find an educated person who understands the local situation. ¡±
These rice flowers can't help Xiao Yeyang, so he can only say: "Maybe we haven't been here long, you can ask Jin Lingwei to inquire more."
Xiao Yeyang didn't hold out much hope: "Even if there is, it will be taken away by others. I'll write to the capital later." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
