The man from the Iron Tower was stunned. He said this, just to vent his dissatisfaction. He wanted to kill Huang Taiji and Dorgon, and he could not attack in the capital.

In this way, the Jurchens were given the excuse to attack Shanhaiguan, and the court and the Jurchens were still relatively stable.

Although there is a small friction, it has not yet reached the point of launching a war, and the current situation in the Liaodong border is not suitable for launching a war.

Yuan Gong was not so impatient and thought about things carefully. He mentioned the Iron Tower man: "It is not the time to fight with the Jurchens. The time is wrong. When the border troops in Liaodong are trained, it is the time to start a war with the Jurchens. In addition, the most important thing at present is to stop the marriage between the Jurchens and the Korqin grassland. This is the great trouble of the court. The life and death of Nurhaci's two sons is not important."

"What a pity."

Li Mian shook his head, thinking that he would sneak attack Huang Taiji with the man from the Iron Tower. Dorgon and the others gave up their thoughts in order to take the overall situation into consideration, shook his head and said, "It's a pity that he left with Zhinu and Yunniang."

Unfortunately, Sun Chuanting is not in the capital.

With Sun Chuanting's temper, neither Huang Taiji nor Dorgon would live tonight.

Li Mian himself is not Huang Taiji and Dorgon's opponent. They have several first-class guards around them, so they can only temporarily suppress the attack.

He returned to the mansion, took a few days to rest, and then prepared to go to the grassland courtyard.

Li Dingguo, He Jin, and Lao Hui started a manure section business, and they also made great success, earning enough money to support thousands of brothers.

The three of them have already finalized their respective territory, but there are still some entangled accounts, which Li Mian needs to go over and check.

When Li Mian left the mansion, he met Jack Ma who came to deliver things to the mansion. He stood at the door of the White Wall Yuedong Gate and chatted for a few words.

As the tax eunuch of Chongwenmen, Jack Ma also received the tax eunuch of Caochangyuan, and was not suitable for continuing to live in the mansion.

Jack Ma lives in the official office of Chongwenmen. He has been promoted and has a much greater power than before.

He came back every now and then, bringing boxes of various tributes, all of which were filial piety from the salt merchants of Lianghuai, Shanxi merchants, Chaozhou Gang and other businesses.

Jack Ma only left a small part, and most of the remaining filial piety moved to the mansion.

Every time Jack Ma met Li Mian, the status and status of both sides were very different, so he took the initiative to salute respectfully: "It is a good thing for the prince-consort to go to the grassland courtyard more often. The money is touching, especially the grassland courtyard involves half the province's silver tax. For the sake of the prince-consort, I did not replace the three palm dishes in the grassland courtyard with eunuchs, but I cannot relax my vigilance about the prostitutes and gambling house accounts in their hands. I can trust the prince-consort, but I can't trust the three palm dishes. I also hope that the prince-consort will go to the grassland courtyard more often, it is best to go there every ten days and half a month, and take Yunniang to check the accounts. It is an explanation to the prince-consort. I feel at ease that if the prince-consort is involved in His Majesty's money, there should be no slackness."

Li Mian nodded: "This sentence is a good saying. This son-in-law blocked many yamen in the capital with one tael of silver and sixteen coins. Now he has not yet established a firm foothold and cannot make any mistakes in the money. Otherwise, Your Majesty would not be in front of us. The first person who wants to arrest us in the imperial prison is Your Majesty."

When Jack Ma heard Li Mian's explanation, he felt relieved and pointed to one of the copper nail boxes and said, "This is a box of crystals sent by the salt merchant. The color is very good, there is no color, all of which are pure colors of water. I heard that the prince consort likes to collect some strange things, so the box solid color crystal is rare. If the prince consort likes it, I will move it to the study room in the east tip."

Li Mian wanted to refuse, but rarely put the filial piety sent by Jack Ma into the study room of Dongsoujian, and usually placed directly in the warehouse in the mansion.

When he heard that it was a box of solid-color crystals, he thought about it and agreed: "Eunuch Ma is very determined. Since he has already spoken, I am not willing to refuse this prince-consort. Please move the box of solid-color crystals into the study."

It is rare for Jack Ma to hear the words of filial piety from the prince-consort's mouth, and a smile appeared on his face. It was his duty to serve the princess and the prince-consort.

Jack Ma personally brought this box of filial piety to the study room in Dongsouji, and told several second-class maids to wait until the prince consort came before unboxing.

Li Mian left the mansion and rode Wumingji to the grassland courtyard, followed by a carriage, Zhinu and Yunniang, who followed him to serve.

Li Dingguo, He Jin, and Lao Huihui had some spare money in their hands, and they firmly disagreed with going to chat under the old locust tree again, feeling that they had neglected their boss.

After the three of them argued, Li Mian changed the chat location, went to Liuquanju, and sat in Liuquanju's backyard.

When the shopkeeper Liu Quanju saw that Li Dingguo and the other two came, he hurried to the backyard and sued several tables of guests who were drinking. He was exempted from all the money for the wine today, and hoped that they would give up the place.

Liuquanju's backyard is very large, and there are several old willow trees with lush branches and leaves, covering up large areas of shade.

The backyard of Liuquanju is better than that of the lobby. There are three or five Eight Immortals tables placed as private rooms.

However, there is no painted screen in the private room in Liuquanju's backyard, and several eight-immortal tables are placed far apart.

Several tables of guests in the backyard were in high spirits, and when they heard what the shopkeeper Liu Quanju said, they felt dissatisfied.

However, they saw Li Dingguo and the other two walking towards the back, got up and left, not daring to offend the three masters who controlled the grassland courtyard.

The servant of Liu Quanju quickly cleaned up the backyard and brought a mahogany round table from the second floor, as well as several eight-legged round drum stools, and placed them under the willow tree.

Li Mian sat in the main seat, Li Dingguo, He Jinlao and Lao Huihui sat down one after another, and carefully drank with the boss.

Lao Huihui is older and more sophisticated in his work. Without saying a word, he took the initiative to bring the account book for this period and handed it to Yunniang directly.

Li Dingguo and He Jin looked at Lao Huihui's actions and then suddenly realized that they quickly arranged someone to collect the account book and handed it over to Yunniang.

Li Dingguo was relieved as long as he handed over the account book to Li Mian. He didn't drink alcohol. He specially brought a pot of tea to replace the wine. I accompanied Li Mian to drink the famous rice wine in Liuquan Curie.

Li Dingguo's ambition was not just to make a plate in the grassland courtyard, but to have greater ambitions and never drink alcohol.

He Jin was different. The look of dissatisfaction in his eyes when he looked at Lao Huihui, which made him show his attention in front of his boss.

Taking the initiative to offer the account book is a great opportunity to show loyalty, but it was not sure.
