The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 472 State affairs and family affairs
In fact, in the mainland, except for the slightly better equipment of Xiangyong in Zhongmingbao, Xiangyong in other places has almost no equipment. This is because Huang Sheng does not want to reveal too much strength for the time being.

In Yongping Prefecture, except for civil officers, military intelligence agents, and veterans who may have a full set of armor and hot weapons, other general village braves only have wooden spears, rarely swords, and shields are probably the lids of the pot at home.

But their long spears are much more penetrating than the Ming standard long spears. The head of the Daming spear is just a piece of iron made by a blacksmith, and it is easy to break and rust.

Huang Sheng found that the most convenient way to arm the common people is to give each person a long and short gun. Therefore, the high-carbon steel triangular army thorns produced by Huangjia Iron and Steel Works are mass-produced. It is too easy to produce such low-tech things on the assembly line, and the steel consumption is also limited. , There are currently 10,000+ pieces in stock at home.

Yongpingfu and Xiangyong were in a team of two, with pot covers and short spears as gun shields, and the other as spearmen. As long as they dared to fight, they had the ability to fight against cavalry and archers.

The Lumi blunderbuss can't penetrate the pot lids, because these pot lids are thickened and improved according to the Huang family's requirements. It's relatively simple. Able to fight against general enemy firearms units.

Such a combination of country and bravery also has long-range strike capabilities, and the short spears in their hands are more lethal than bows and arrows when they are struggling to throw them.

On June [-]th, He Xiang finally got her wish and gave birth to a fat boy. Huang Sheng gave her the name Huang He, which was named Trafeng.

After the birth of a precious son, He Xiang's face is full of happiness, the big wife Chu'er loves her very much, He Xiang feels happy from the bottom of her heart, but she is a little regretful that she can't be with the master for the time being.

One afternoon, Huang Sheng, who was discussing matters with Huang Mingli and Liu Guozheng, heard that the musketeer, who had already been appointed as the commander of the third-rank guard, took the recklessness of the chief Liu Dawan to see the Patriarch.

Everyone was surprised that Liu Dawan knelt down and kowtowed in front of Huang Sheng, making Huang Sheng baffled.

Huang Mingli and the others also looked at each other in astonishment, Liu Guozheng said in surprise: "General Liu, our army has long been unable to kneel down, what's wrong with you today?"

I saw Liu Dawan was so nervous that he was sweating, and he stammered: "Humble post is not a military salute, this is, this is, this is..."

Huang Sheng laughed and said, "What is this?"

"My lord, this is a family ritual, please allow me to marry a wife."

"Ah? Marriage is free, no one's approval is ever needed?" Huang Sheng was at a loss and felt strange.

"Your Excellency will not be merciful. You cannot marry a wife in a humble position. Please help me."

Huang Mingli was dizzy, and said: "Don't talk about things, don't talk about it, the master who can see the red with the bayonet with Jianu face to face, what is he afraid to say?"

Liu Dawan settled down, thought it was a family matter and changed his name and said loudly: "The humble official wants to marry Mr. Le'er as his wife, please allow the owner of the house."

"Ah?" The generals present were all shocked.Although Huan'er and Le'er were not officials, they belonged to the power center of the Huang family, and their qualifications were old. Even Huang Mingli and Huang Mingdao were polite to them.

Nowadays, young generals like Liu Dawan are mostly from the first group of young trackers. They treat women such as Bai Mudan, Bai Furong, Huaner, Leer, etc. with courtesy, and they have indeed taught these generals to read and write. .

In Liu Guozheng's subconscious mind, Huan'er and Le'er are the women of the Patriarch. Seeing Liu Dawan say such words, he yelled angrily, "Isn't that reasonable, you kid is out of your mind? How can I lure Mr. Le'er to come here truthfully!"

"Beizhi has never said a word to Mr. Le'er, and there is no temptation. Please pay attention to the owner!"

What is the situation? Huang Sheng was confused, and asked: "You have to be consensual if you want to marry Le'er! If you really didn't even say a word, what's the matter?"

"I saw Mr. Leer for the first time in the spring of the fifth year of Tianqi, and I wanted to marry her one day. I have been working hard for this. I have already turned [-] this year. There are not many matchmakers, but I don't even have a concubine. Just wait for today."

It turns out that free love was not popular in ancient times, it was the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. They are not free people. consciousness.

Huang Sheng smiled and said: "First of all, your behavior is worthy of praise. You don't hide it, and you dare to speak out your thoughts boldly. But whether you can marry Meijiao Niang is yours and not yours!"

"The humble job is willing to do anything, please let the owner express."

"How about this, as long as you get Le'er's consent, you can use a sedan chair to carry people on an auspicious day, how about it?"

"Well, I dare not, I have never spoken to Mr. Le'er before."

"That's not right. You were willing to do whatever you said just now. Why are you so cowardly when things come to an end? Women are very likely to be soft-hearted. You have been secretly in love with Le'er for many years, and your heart is not insincere. No matter how hard you beg, you are sure of success." Eighty-nine..."

The sophisticated Huang Sheng gave his subordinates a bad idea, and talked about how to deceive women for half an hour, which made several generals very disapproving.They think that as long as a woman's parents are willing to marry, there is nothing left for them to do. Is it necessary to use so many brains?
Huang Sheng said nothing, but Liu Dawan refused to go by himself, and stubbornly believed that it would be possible to make things happen only if the owner of the family made the decision.

No way, Huang Sheng simply asked Huan'er and Le'er who had been participating in the compilation of the "Chinese Dictionary" to come here.

After a while, there was a ringing sound, Mei Xiang and them came, and Shuyao and other big girls around the mistress followed.

Le'er was stunned when he saw the generals in the hall, and said, "Master, what do you order when you call your servants?"

"No, no, General Liu has something to tell you."

"General Liu?" Le'er looked at Liu Dawan, who was standing beside him dumbfounded and blushing, and said with a smile, "I don't know what General Liu said?"

Seeing Liu Dawan's embarrassing appearance, Huang Sheng was a little discouraged, and said to him, "Come on, be brave, Le'er doesn't eat people."

Liu Dawan just didn't move and stood there stupidly, Huang Sheng wished he could go up and give him a kick, angrily said: "Liu Dawan, I ordered you to rush!"

These words had an effect, Liu Dawan rushed forward, came to Le'er and knelt down, "Mr. Le'er, I am already twenty, and the matchmaker knows how many women I have married without even looking at them. The moment I ate the cake, I swore that in the future I would marry a good woman like Mr. Leer."

Le'er panicked, feeling that the situation was wrong, she blushed with shame, "When will I, I, when will I make you cakes? What are you doing, get up."

"That was the day when the head of the family took in Beizhi. Beizhi has always kept it in his heart. If he gets Mr. Le'er as his wife, Beizhi will die immediately and be willing."

Le'er became even more flustered, and said indiscriminately: "Nonsense, don't talk nonsense."

"Mr. Le'er, if you are willing to marry a humble official, you will be the only woman in this humble official's life, and you will never take concubines."

"Nonsense, I'm not a jealous woman..." Le'er realized that she was confused and said something wrong, so she stopped quickly.

Liu Dawan went all out, and continued: "Mr. Le'er, agree to marry a humble official, and a humble official will love you for the rest of your life."

Huang Sheng saw a group of girls laughing and laughing inappropriately, waved his hands, and went out with a group of generals, closing the door. Only Liu Dawan and Le'er were left in the huge living room.

Huan'er and a few little girls hid at the window one by one to eavesdrop, time slowly passed, and Liu Dawan reappeared with a radiant face, Le'er covered her face and ran away without a trace...

Seeing the head of the family, Liu Dawan happily knelt down and kowtowed again, and the sound of thud thump thud was heard far away. Huang Sheng said, "You're okay, boy! Not bad, choose a good day to get married! By the way, Le'er has a job, you How will we deal with it in the future?"

"My lord, all the women in our Huang family do things, and women with humble positions are no exception."

Huang Sheng sighed, and thought to himself, you kid is happy to marry your beautiful wife, I still have to do He Xiang's ideological work slowly!
Unexpectedly, Huan'er, Le'er and their maids were all there when they came to He Xiang's yard in the backyard. He Xiang had already learned the story of the front yard, but instead she was comforting Le'er who was lying on her lap crying .

No need to explain himself, Huang Sheng felt relieved, teased his son Huang He, and then went to Chu'er.
