The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 678

[Chapter 678 British Government]

With the British Duke in the lead, others felt a little more relieved.

In any case, the British public is still relatively reliable.

“I’ll toast the British gentleman!”

Someone stood up and toasted the British gentleman.

The British father just smiled and drank in return.

While pushing the cup and changing the cup, I don’t know who mentioned it again.

“I heard that that boy Fang Xiu is running an academy recently and is also running a women’s imperial examination. What do you guys think of this?” When

everyone heard this question, they looked at each other and didn’t know how to answer.

They must not agree with this woman’s imperial examination.

However, there is still a British father sitting here!

Who doesn’t know that when it comes to women’s imperial examinations, the most mentioned person is Xia Yixue, the chief arrester of the Kyoto Prefecture Yamen.

And Xia Yixue is the daughter of the British father-in-law.

For a while, no one answered.

The British Duke was obviously aware of this. He looked at the person who asked the question, with a faint smile on his face, and said leisurely: “So what about women? Mrs. Yang was a woman back then. She didn’t lead the troops to repel the grassland tribes.” Attack?

In my opinion, if a woman is really capable, she may not be able to take part in the imperial examination.

Only state officials are allowed to set fires. That is what those Confucian scholars do. We are all rough people. It depends on the principle. Whoever has the biggest fist speaks. “

Whoever has the ability speaks.

The same is true for the imperial examination!”

The British Duke’s words basically showed his attitude.

After hearing this, the other nobles nodded and said in agreement: “The British Lord is right, a man with ability has nothing to do with whether he is a man or a woman!”

“The British Lord made the stakes clear in one sentence. In fact, You are a role model for our generation!”

Everyone praised him.

The British father just smiled.

He knew better than anyone else what these guys were thinking.

After three rounds of drinking, the British Duke returned to the British Duke’s mansion.

Immediately a steward came forward to greet him.

“My lord, you are back.”

The British prince glanced at him, lay down on the chair, and asked.

“How is the boatman’s affairs going?”

The steward frowned slightly, lowered his head, and whispered: “If you return to the country, my lord, there are not many boatmen in the capital. During this period, various mansions are… Recruitment, I really can’t recruit anyone.”

When the British Duke heard this, he frowned, looked at him, and said coldly: “Won’t you go to other state capitals?”

The manager stood busy. He replied: “My lord, please calm down. I have sent people to recruit him, but it will take a while.”

During this period, I don’t know what happened.

Boat workers were being recruited everywhere. He was curious at first, but he didn’t expect that his master would also show up like this, and he was caught off guard.

By the time he reacted, there were not many boatmen left in the capital.

There are not many boatmen left in the Gyeonggi region.

After all, the Gyeonggi region does not have a coastal area, so there are few boatmen, and they can only make a few small things like wooden boats, but they are not even available on the market.

I don’t know what the Duke of Guo is thinking, but he wants to recruit so many boatmen for no reason.

The British man picked up the teacup and took a sip.

He raised his eyes, glanced at the steward, and then asked: “Have you bought the land in Jinzhou Prefecture?”

Hearing this question, the steward shuddered and said cautiously: “When I return to my country, my father-in-law has already sent me some money. “

I went to ask, it’s just.”

When he said this, there was a look of hesitation on his face, and for some reason, he couldn’t go on.

When the British duke heard this, he raised his eyes, glanced at him, and said coldly: “If you have anything to say, just say it. I forgive you.”

Only then did the man in charge dare to speak.

“Master Guo, all the land along the coast of Jinzhou Prefecture was bought by the Marquis of Xin’an. Now it has increased several times.

With so much money, a small person really can’t make the decision.”

The British Duke frowned when he heard this. He frowned, looked at the steward, and asked: “Where is the land near the port instead of the coast?”

The steward looked hesitant, gritted his teeth, and replied: “The young master who returned home was also taken by that man. Xin’an Hou bought it. “

Bang! “

When the British Duke heard this, he slapped the table, stood up, and cursed: “Good boy, no wonder you are smiling so happily, you are waiting here!”

He thought of Fang Xiu’s inexplicable smile before leaving Fang Mansion, and He was so angry that he started pacing in the yard.

I took several sips of tea to calm down.

Looking at the steward, he ordered: “No matter how expensive the land is, buy me a piece of land!” When

the steward heard this order, he hurriedly bowed and responded: “I understand, Mr. Guo, I am so young. Just get started!”

After saying that, he left.

The British father was sitting alone in the yard, sulking, when he suddenly saw a figure, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

“Yixue,”

Yingying called out openly.

Xia Yixue had just put down her sword. When she heard this voice, she turned back to look at her father, bowed and said coldly, “Dad.”

“Yixue, my father heard that you seem to have a good relationship with the Marquis of Xin’an?”

The British father walked to Xia Yixue and asked with a smile on his face.

When Xia Yixue heard this, she frowned slightly and said nothing.

This girl is cold to everyone, and the British father is used to it.

He smiled and said, “I have something to do as a father, and I want to ask you for a favor.”

“Dad, the law comes first.”

Xia Yixue wanted to refuse, but was interrupted by the British father just as she opened her mouth.

“A very simple thing is to ask you to discuss with the Marquis of Xin’an to see if the land in Jinzhou Prefecture can be sold cheaper.”

The British Duke said with a smile.

Xia Yixue frowned even more after hearing this.

After thinking for a while, he only left one cold word.

“Dad, my daughter is not familiar with the Marquis of Xin’an.”

After saying that, he took the saber and turned and left.

The British male stood there alone, and it took him a while to react.

Is this girl’s elbow turned outward?

Alas,

the British father sighed, and after struggling for a long time, he decided to

suffer the loss!

As the saying goes, a loss is a blessing, and the worst that can happen is that Fang Xiu will make more money.

What’s the big deal?

By then, as long as the golden land is discovered, these are all trivial matters.

Nothing!

The land of gold.

The British Duke looked at the rockeries in front of him, as if these rockeries had turned golden.

I thought about it for a long time.

He, who had always been calm and composed, finally couldn’t hold back the throbbing in his heart that he hadn’t experienced in a long time.

Decided to leave the capital and go to Jinzhou Prefecture to have a look.

He wanted to see his giant ship being built with his own eyes, and to see his giant ship set sail and embark on the journey.

He even wanted to train the sailors on the ship himself.

Thinking of this, he was already pacing in the courtyard.

After a while, he waved his hand, summoned the steward of the mansion, and ordered: “Get ready, I want to go to Jinzhou Mansion to visit!”
