Chapter 124: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron

Yang Bo plans to build two explosives factories on Taohua Island in Zhoushan to produce No. 1 and No. 2 explosives.

At this time, the Zhoushan Islands, because of the imperial court's policy of banning the sea, were inhabited on the main island of Zhoushan, and the other islands, except for the Haikou entrenched on them, were basically uninhabited.

On the island north of Peach Blossom Island, there are also pirates like Haifei entrenched, but since Yang Bo was on Peach Blossom Island, he killed more than 100 people flying on the sea, and those thieves were afraid, for fear that Yang Bo would kill them all.

The so-called No. 1 and No. 2 explosives are thunder * mercury and nitrocellulose explosives, these things are very dangerous, and they are produced in Shenjiabao and Meizhen, one is a potential safety hazard, and the other is not conducive to secrecy.

After more than a month of refitting, the midmast was finally installed, and the sails were rearranged, and some of the sails protruded from the sides of the hull, which made the Wraith look a lot fatter than the July, and the hull and sails were painted black, which can be described as a new look.

Yang Bo is also equipped with four Black Tiger cannons on the deck, and the rocket launchers have not yet been finalized, but Yang Bo also has a few on the ship, this firearm is a melee weapon, which can prevent someone from approaching and sneaking up.

Yang Bo will travel to Peach Blossom Island aboard the Ghost, which is also the first of the Ghost's refits, and will undergo the necessary sea trials along the way.

In the past few days, Yang Bo has to meet many people and explain a lot of things, but the news that he is going to Zhoushan Peach Blossom Island has spread in Shenjiabao.

Someone who is interested in hearing the wind moved, and soon, a lot of people gathered at the east gate of the stone temple, and it was crowded for a while, and the traffic was busy, so it was not lively.

Some people are invited, and some are uninvited.

More people are here to inquire about the news, or to see the excitement, these people also have dreams in their hearts, if they have the opportunity to meet Yang Bo and say a few words, wouldn't it be a pie falling from the sky to hit their heads? In the future, in front of people, it will also be shown.

What's more, Yang Bo is the God of Wealth, some people roughly calculated, Yang Bo's net worth has already exceeded one million taels, and if you meet him, you can also get some wealth, and it may not be known if it will be made in the future.

Yang Bo is now a big man, follow him, there is meat to eat.

It's no surprise that his every move is being noticed.

In many cases, Yang Bo's movements mean business opportunities, such as the swamp in front of the stone temple, which Yang Bo initially begged someone to fill in, but no one was willing.

That is Yang Bo's big project, now the land price there has risen to the sky, the original investment in silver, now make a fortune, at the beginning disliked that there was a river mud, worthless, but now regret not at the beginning.

The opportunity is fleeting, the first to come has meat to eat, and the late one can't even drink the soup.

Of course, the threshold of the stone temple is very high now, and most people can only stand outside the east gate and see the bustle, and the stone temple cannot enter.

Even if you are invited, you can only rest in the lounge first, Yang Bo has to talk to many people, you have to come one by one, it is your turn, Liu Fu will naturally lead you to see Yang Bo.

At this time, there are already many people in the lounge, Ji Shun, Gan Xin, Huang Renjie from Guangdong, He Yunsheng from Zhoushan, Lu Guangyuan from Nanjing, and so on.

In the lounge, there is also an open door, and outside the door is the corridor leading to the council hall where Yang Bo is located, and Liu Wu is standing at the door of the chamber.

The lounge is simply furnished, with a large long wooden table in the middle, a stove and a tea set on the wooden table, hot water is boiling on the stove, the spout is steaming out, the water is already boiling, and those who want to drink tea have no one to wait, so they make their own tea.

Coffee tables are arranged along the walls, each with two chairs, where people sit and gossip tea while waiting for Yang Bo's summons.

At the invitation of Yang Bo, Gan Xin rushed to the stone temple early in the morning, but Xu Ji and his son came uninvited, and they also cut in line, and were talking with Yang Bo in the conference hall, and there was a burst of laughter from time to time.

Gan Xin listened, with a black line on his face, this time he was going to Peach Blossom Island with Yang Bo, and he still had a lot of things in his hands.

Under the boredom, he could only have a ride with Ji Shun, who was also waiting, and bragged and farted without a match.

"Uncle Ji, I'm here, it's Yang Bo who wants me to come, I'm busy."

Seeing that Ji Shun just nodded, he didn't pay attention to him, and said without words: "Uncle Ji, what does the son want to talk to you about?" ”

"Kelp." Ji Shun raised his eyes and looked at Gan Xin, "The kelp seedlings he brought back from Zhenhai are growing well, and he plans to breed them in large quantities in Zhoushan." ”

"Uncle Ji, don't you want to know what Gongzi asked me to talk about?"

"What do you want to talk to Yang Bo?" Ji Shun asked casually.

"Heaven must not be divulged." Gan Xin shook his head, "Uncle Ji, you know, most of the things in my hands are top-secret projects, you can't say it, you can't say it." ”

Ji Shun drank tea with his head bored, stopped talking, and looked down the aisle again, Xu Ji's father and son hadn't come out yet, and sighed, "Hey, Uncle Ji, a big old man like me, the son doesn't want to see him, I came early in the morning, but let this Mr. Xu take the lead." ”

"I heard that you have a son who is going to school in the spring?"

"Yes, it's spring, and I'll send my son to school as soon as possible."

"Then what else do you have to complain about, this Mr. Xu is the principal of Wanli Academy."

The two of them just talked and chatted until catkins came over.

"Uncle Ji, Childe, please come in."

"Hahaha." Ji Shun put down the teacup and saw Gan Xin looking at the catkins with blank eyes, so he laughed and said, "Then the old man will take the first step, Master Gan, you drink slowly." ”

Gan Xin sighed, Ji Shun was led by the catkins and entered the aisle.

Because Ji Shun often discusses with Mei Xian'er, he is familiar with Liu Wu's behavior and talk, likes to be funny, and is a pistachio character, but when he sees her today, she is abnormal, with a sad face, and can't help but wonder: "It's weird, one by one is sad, what's wrong with you?" ”

Liu Wu pouted and said, "My family's person who has suffered a thousand knives now has a few taels of silver in his hand, and he actually wants to take a concubine, which makes me angry." ”

Not long ago, Liu Wu married Ge Sibao, and the one who suffered a thousand knives was Ge Sibao.

"Haven't you two just gotten married?"

"Childe asked him to take charge of billiards and gave him a five-point commission, and now that the business is good, the one who suffered a thousand knives earned a lot of silver, and as soon as the silver burned, people became ashamed."

As they spoke, the two of them had already entered the conference hall, but Liu Fu's words were picked up by Yang Bo, Yang Bo smiled: "So, Ge Sibao has run the billiard court well, and there is a lot of silver, isn't it?" ”

Seeing that Liu Wu's face was full of unhappiness, after careful questioning, Yang Bo finally knew that this Ge Sibao was thinking of taking a concubine because he had money in his hand.

Full of warmth and lust, hunger and cold steal hearts, honest words.

Yang Bo remembered that when he was in Meizhen, Ge Sibao was a frequent visitor to the Qinglou, because of his evil deeds, Yang Bo still kicked him in the horse farm.

Yang Bo suddenly became furious and said, "Liu Fu, you call him, I will take this breath for you." ”

"Childe, don't, you're so busy, what do you care about him as a sloppy person?" When Liu Wu heard this, he hurriedly said: "Ge Sibao is such a donkey, he loves to take concubines, so he doesn't have to bother me every night, and I don't want to wait." ”

Bang, this catkins are really not ordinary people, too fierce.

Ji Shun also endured it and didn't laugh out loud, but he was also very uncomfortable.

Yang Bo sweated for a while, and it took him a long time to recover, and he coughed a few times before he said: "But... But you're clearly not happy. ”

"What's upset about me? I just feel sorry for the silver, I know the woman, she just takes a fancy to the silver in his hand. ”

Liu Fu rolled his eyes, and said, "If Childe really wants to help me, he can help." ”

"How can I help? You say, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help. ”

When Liu Wu heard this, the sadness on his face suddenly disappeared, and he smiled, "Childe, you just need to give me the monthly money that was cut by a thousand knives, without the silver, I want to see how the donkey is ashamed, hehe..."

When Yang Bo and Ji Shun heard this, they were speechless for a while.

At noon, Yang Bo returned to the inner courtyard, and Shen Yanqing was also there.

Yang Bo went to Peach Blossom Island this time, and he could only return after a month, Yang Bo naturally had something to explain to Shen Yanqing, these days, Shen Yanqing often came to the stone temple, after all, Yang Bo was not in the stone temple, and Shen Yanqing wanted to exercise decision-making power on behalf of Yang Bo, at least formally.

During lunch, Yang Bo mentioned the matter of Ge Sibao and Liu Wu, and specially explained to Mei Xian'er, in the future, Ge Sibao's monthly money will be collected by Liu Wu, and everyone heard about the reason before and after, and they also laughed.

"It's a bottom-of-the-road plan." Mei Xian'er finally stopped laughing and said, "I can't see this girl Liu Wu, her mind is ruthless enough." ”

"According to me, men should not take concubines, monogamy, this is called the bottom of the kettle."

Yang Bo blurted out, and after speaking, everyone's eyes looked at him in unison, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong, he said something that shouldn't be said.

But the words have been spoken, and it is difficult to collect the water, how can this be good?

Xiang'er was originally adding small green vegetables to the hot pot, and when she heard this, she immediately stayed there, she was Shen Yanqing's dowry girl, and she was destined to marry Shen Yanqing.

In fact, the dowry girl in the world, the concubine can't be counted, but Xiang'er followed Shen Yanqing when she was a child, although the two have the distinction of master and servant, but Shen Yanqing treats Xiang'er as a sister, and has already explained to Xiang'er that after she and Yang Bo get married, she will give her a name, and the so-called name is actually a concubine.

"Monogamy? Could it be that the son never thought of taking a concubine at all? Xiang'er thought so, tears were already in her eyes, and her little shoulders began to twitch, and she was about to cry.

In contrast, Shen Yanqing's mind is complicated, although Shen Yanqing is bold by nature, she is also a woman after all, which woman is willing to share her husband with others?

Shen Yanqing was actually very happy when she heard Yang Bo say that, it turned out that Yang Bo had told her that she was the only one in his heart, was it true?

Thinking about it again, what should Xiang'er do?

Shen Yanqing married Yang Bo, and Xiang'er, as her personal ring, was to marry her, the rules are like this, how can they be changed?

Giving Xiang'er a name is also something that Shen Yanqing should have promised early on, no matter what, Xiang'er's concubine is decided, and Yang Bo can't do it.

Shen Yanqing thought so, so she handed over a roll of her eyes, and said angrily: "A man has three wives and four concubines, it has been like this since ancient times, what kind of nonsense are you talking about monogamy?" ”

"Ahem, ahem, this.." Yang Bozhi said: "I just said it casually, don't take it seriously." ”

Shen Yanqing felt that Yang Bo was a little perfunctory, Yang Bo's 'monogamy' was blurted out, if it wasn't for this idea in his heart, this kind of thing would be categorically unspeakable.

However, believe it or not, at this moment, Shen Yanqing hated to find a place where no one was there and laughed, but she would be the hostess of the stone temple in the future, and she couldn't break the rules, and she had to put on an unhappy look on her face, and she had to endure her so hard.
