Chapter 608 The Arrival of the Iron Armor Era 1
At the main entrance of the Jiading Royal Building Complex, it was guarded by a group of elite royal guards. At this moment, the gate made of iron fences had been pushed open. With the shouts of the officers, all the guards raised their guns and watched 200 elite iron riders arch three carriages depicting the royal emblem into the gate.
The horseshoe collided with the neat and clean cement pavement and made a crisp sound. On both sides of the road, it was full of lush green, and a small river gurgled under the stone bridge not far ahead, which seemed to be quiet and peaceful.
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of a three-storey white building covering an area of nearly 1,000 square meters. Liang Pengfei and Wang Shuxiang walked down the carriage together, and in front of the white building, an old servant was waiting at the door with several servants.
"I have met the young master." The 50-year-old servant quickly bent down after seeing Liang Pengfei.
"It's Uncle Cai, hehe, don't be polite." Liang Pengfei patted the old servant on the back and walked into the gate happily. The old servant, who was called Uncle Cai by Liang Pengfei, was an old man in Lao Liang's house.
Uncle Cai's father died on the sea with Liang Pengfei's grandfather, and Uncle Cai was also a right-hand man beside Liang Pengfei's father. However, in a naval battle, he was accidentally injured. After the tendon of his left hand was cut off, he was no longer suitable to fight on the ship, so he became the master of guarding the old Liang's family. .
You know, Liang Pengfei was quite disgusted and disgusted with the eunuch, an artificial creature. When Liang Pengfei overthrew the court of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Liang Pengfei not only did not stop the eunuchs who wanted to migrate with the Tatars of the Qing Dynasty, but was very lucky.
Although some eunuchs and palace women have stayed, Liang Pengfei did not take over any of them and dismissed them all to the people, because Liang Pengfei did not like himself or his relatives to be surrounded by some non-male or female things. These bones have been soaked in the rotten people in the palace of the Qing Dynasty. Creatures are likely to bring a lot of messy things to their side and affect the people around them.
So since the confirmation of Jiandu Jiading, all the old people of the old Liang family have naturally moved here. In the palace where the emperor of the empire lived, all the old people of the old Liang family were used.
--------------------
Moreover, Liang Pengfei made a rule that men and women working in the palace can retire after the age of 55 if they want, or retire early, such as those maids. After all, they are going to get married. When they reach the marriageable age, they can get a much higher salary than that of factory workers. Such a generous reward is enough to become an eye-catching dowry.
After all, although Liang Pengfei is lustful, he will not be like an ancient emperor. After all, he is a good young man who has received the institutional education of later generations. Besides, which of his four wives is not national and outstanding?
Besides, Liang Pengfei is not the kind of stallion who takes off his pants when he sees a beautiful girl. For him, only when he has an emotional foundation can he be called a blessing life. Well, we play with emotions, not just the body. This is the romantic oath that Liang Pengfei held up in his previous life.
"The master and his wife went to hang out by the river, and the young master also went with them. Several wives are in the study at this moment, saying that if you arrive, you can go there." Uncle Cai explained the matter in an orderly way with a word, which was not muddy at all, which was very in line with Liang Pengfei's style of doing things, but it was also true. After all, it was Lao Liang who had been an old man for decades. How could his family not know his family name?
"Okay, Uncle Cai, you go to work first. I'll go there by myself. Oh, by the way, Uncle Cai, has that boy Sanshui sent you a letter?" As soon as Liang Pengfei took two steps, Fang remembered one thing and quickly stopped Uncle Cai, who turned around and left.
"Sanshui just sent me a letter in the first two months. What's wrong, young master? Did that bastard do something wrong again?" Uncle Cai turned his head and was a little worried.
Liang Pengfei laughed and said, "Uncle Cai, look at you. That boy in Sanshui is very good. How can he be disobedient? It's not because they received the latest military report. They won again in the south. The military department of the Zhongnan Field Army reported a first-class merit to your Sanshui. In addition, he was promoted to the commander of the colonel and has reported it. It's at the Ministry of Defense."
"That stinky boy wants to be promoted again? Ha ha, then I have to thank the young master. If you hadn't stuffed the useless boy into the Crab King Island to study in the military academy, now I'm afraid that the boy doesn't know where to fool around. Hearing the news, Uncle Cai couldn't help but be happy and thanked Liang Pengfei.
"Uncle Cai, thank you. Sanshui is a brother who grew up with me. I'm happy for him when he is good. Besides, being able to make contributions and receive awards is the result of his own efforts, and it doesn't have much to do with me. Okay, Uncle Cai, you should also go back early. Tell this news to Aunt Cai and Sanshui's daughter-in-law to make the family happy. In about half a year or so, they will go back to the rotation. At that time, it will be easy for your family to get together.
Looking at Uncle Cai's brisk steps, Wang Shuxiang couldn't help but squeezing his lips and said, "Looking at Uncle Cai like this, it's like ten years younger at a sudden."
"That's right, who doesn't want their children to become organs." Liang Pengfei smiled and stretched out his hand and clenched the delicate palm of the book. At this time, there was no one else but them in the spacious and bright aisle. Wang Shuxiang let Liang Pengfei hold her hand, softened his body, and gently relied on Liang Pengfei, with a trace of regret in his eyes.
"What's wrong, what's on your mind?" Liang Pengfei saw Wang Shuxiang's appearance and couldn't help saying warmly.
"It's nothing. It's just that I feel bad. I've been married to my husband for almost half a year, but there is no movement at all." Wang Shuxiang sighed softly, and there was loneliness and guilt in his eyes like water.
Seeing Wang Shuxiang's expression, Liang Pengfei almost laughed, but yes, today's era is not comparable to that of later generations. It is easy for women to be stabbed in the spine if they do not have children after marriage.
"Well, Shuxiang girl, don't worry, you forgot that I told you last time that your sister Bing'er and I have only been married for two or three years. We have only been married for only half a year now. What's the hurry? We are still young and have a lot of time to work hard." Liang Pengfei lowered his head and pecked gently on the earlobe of Wang Shuxiang.
Wang Shuxiang couldn't help squealing, her face was stained with red glow, and her eyes came over charmingly: "Don't come nonsense."
"Who's here? I'm my own mother-in-law, hehe." Liang Pengfei laughed and pulled up Wang Shuxiang, who was still pale, and walked straight to the study.
"Isn't this your husband? Why did you come back so early?" The door of the study was pushed open and saw Liang Pengfei's tall figure. Pan Bingjie, who was burying her head in the public case, couldn't help standing up happily.
"After finishing the work, he naturally slipped back. Damn it, I'm going crazy about those farts." Liang Peng flew into the study, stretched out a big waist, and sat on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the study. Maria came forward with a smile and poured a glass of Longjing before the rain for Liang Pengfei. Fortunately, you can also say it. Others don't know, but our sisters don't know you yet? I'm afraid you're tired of staying here all day long, right?
"Ha ha, the one who knows me, the princess." Liang Pengfei took the tea and dragged Maria to his side. Yes, to be honest, I didn't find anything good about being an emperor. Thinking about those years, I could do whatever I wanted, but what about now? Those ministers chattered all day long. It's not right here or there. Even if they want to go out for a walk, they have to make a big fight. Is this a human job?
"Honey, this is what you have to accept as an imperial monarch, you know?" Maria, a female surname who has been a princess for more than 20 years, looked at her husband with sympathy and pity, because as a princess, she could understand the resentment in the heart of Liang Pengfei, a free and scattered pirate who was to be watched by countless people and chattering.
"Of course I know that if it weren't for the future of this empire, I would not have the spare time to stay here and get moldy." Liang Pengfei took a bite of a piece of shortbread handed over by Wang Shuxiang and scratched it angrily. Anyway, it was his mother-in-law. With these words, it was impossible for Liang Pengfei to complain to his ministers or complain to his parents. The only thing that could comfort him was these pillow people with Huizhi Lanxin.
--------------------
"Look at what you said, it's as if someone forced you to sit in the emperor's seat." Wang Shuxiang couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing.
Liang Pengfei rolled his eyes and said, "What if I don't sit? Ha ha, not to mention anything else, except for my young master and your husband, others have to weigh whether they have enough weight if they want to sit in this position.
"That's true. Nowadays, no one in the world really has the ability of a husband." Wang Shuxiang looked at Liang Pengfei's arrogant face, and his eyes were full of starlight of worship.
"Well, sister, don't praise him. If you praise him again, your husband's nose is about to go up to the sky." Pan Bingjie curled her mouth with a disdainful expression, but there was no less starlight in her eyes than Wang Shuxiang.
After a while of teasing between the couple, Maria thought of one thing, that is, Liang Pengfei's godfather Zhang Baozai, wrote a letter. He reported some interesting things that happened on his way to the New World with the fleet, and reported his safety to his family.
"This child will finally meet his wish." Liang Pengfei looked at the familiar handwriting on the letter paper, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help raising, revealing a trace of doting. Zhang Baozai, a little guy, has always been a master of peace, and his ambition to make contributions is very strong. Well, it is simply a replica of the hot-blooded young people in later generations.
When he heard that the New World was preparing for war, Zhang Baozai had been begging Liang Pengfei to become a member of the reinforcement fleet to the New World. After nearly half a year of trouble, even the Shi Xianggu stood up and said good words for the little guy. Liang Pengfei had no choice but to agree to his request.
However, after all, he was his godson, so Liang Pengfei gritted his teeth and finally handed over the ironclad ship that would have been left in the Royal Guard Fleet to his godson Zhang Baozai for command.
This ironclad ship is the only one that has been completed from the Hong Kong shipbuilding factory so far. The size of the successful test ship is only the size of a sash. Compared with those three-masted warships and battleships, it is really much smaller. However, it is undeniable that the main body and hull are completely made of metal. The defense and destructive power of the ironclad ship is enough to make a big man like the battleship afraid.
If not, how could this ironclad ship enter Liang Pengfei's eyes and become a member of the Royal Guard Fleet? However, at present, this ironclad ship has crossed the ocean with Zhang Baozai. Perhaps at this moment, it has begun its debut on the other side of the ocean, right?
