Chapter 716: Picking Peaches

"Oh, whatever!"

On the official boat on the second floor, Tanchun opened a window, felt the temperature in Yangzhou, and said with a disappointed face: "I thought that Jiangnan was as warm as spring in winter, but I didn't expect it to be so cold." ”

Sister Feng knew the weather in the south of the Yangtze River, and teased: "You also want to be blind, I advise you to wear your clothes carefully, and you are all dressed neatly." The weather in the south of the Yangtze River is not as good as that in the north, although it is a snow day in the capital, but it is not so cold when you put on a big coat. But in Southern Province, the dampness and cold air seeped into the bones, and if you are not careful, you will get typhoid fever. If you don't believe it, look at Sister Lin......"

Sure enough, Daiyu had already taken off her embroidered shoes, put on small sheepskin boots that pinched gold and dug Yunhongxiang, and covered her body with a crane in a big red feather veil and a white fox, put on a hat, and wrapped it tightly.

Snow Goose is still holding a hand stove in the back, ready to use it in the car.

Tanchun, Xiangyun and others were disappointed, and they all went to change their clothes.

Before he went out, he saw three people wearing hats and scarves and cloaks.

The taller man carried a "burning stick" on his back, and a "bead" wrapped in red silk was tied to the top......

Two small ones, one carrying a sword covered in blue, and the other carrying a large bell with a flower hanging from the bell......

Seeing these three people appear coldly, everyone was stunned at first, and then they couldn't help laughing.

Xiangyun jumped over and asked, "Three young heroes, I don't know where you came from and what are you going to do?" ”

The taller one said in a deep voice: "In Xia Zhang Xiaofan, the weapon devours the soul, and I want to go to Tianyin Temple to find trouble with the thief bald!" ”

The little man on the left said crisply: "In Xia Lu Xueqi, the weapon Tianya Divine Sword, I want to go to the demon girl Baguio and tear her mouth!" ”

The little man on the right was reluctant and said, "Phew! Okay, you little prodigal hoof, you boast of being famous and decent, how can you compare to me blocking the fairy sword for Xiaofan? Look at me together. Hurrah! ”

"Eh! Two good wives, everyone has something to say, they are all their own people, don't hurt the harmony! ”

"Zhang Xiaofan" persuaded him in the middle, but naturally to no avail, he could only hide aside and sigh: "Two wives, really tired......"

The sisters had already laughed like crazy, and one by one they took their eyes to Daiyu, who had red ears and red teeth.

Daiyu picked up a handful of wild duck feather dusters from the side and said, "What a mess, I see that you are doing death, but the ghost has come to me!" ”

"Zhang Xiaofan", "Lu Xueqi", and "Baguio" were shocked, and said in unison: "Not good! The Immortal Sword is here, and I can't stop it! Let's die together! ”

The three of them hugged each other, pouted their little buttocks, and let Daiyu take the "Zhu Xian" and slash a sword, everyone laughed and fell to the ground, Daiyu also smiled "poof", and said: "Your lord is used to you not being the same, I don't care about you, just go to him to settle accounts!" ”

Just as the three troublemakers were shocked, they saw Jia Qiang come in with a smile and said: "What kind of ......account is it to find me" Before the words fell, seeing the three of them dressed like this, they knew that they were naughty again, and quickly diverted the topic and said: "The boat has arrived at the dock, there are old ladies of the Qi family, Xiaojing's father and Aunt Sun waiting on the dock, Xiaojing will go back to Jufeng Island with them, I will talk to the old lady of the Qi family about something, Sister Lin, you take the others back to the Yamen of the Yanyuan......"

Dai Yudeng, who was still not good-looking, was full of surprise, and said in a "ah" voice: "Yanyuan Yamen? It's not already ......"

After Lin Ruhai went to the post of patrolling the salt imperial history, this office should be returned, and someone else is, how can I go back again?

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Mr. is the last salt inspector in Yangzhou, and after Mr., he will be concurrently served by the governor of Liangjiang." So I took a trick and bought it for money. It's where you grew up, and with so many memories, how can I let someone else take it? The gentleman didn't know about it yet, so he didn't tell him when he got home. When he returns to his hometown one day, how about bringing him back and giving him a surprise? ”

Daiyu's heart was about to melt, and looking at Jia Qiang's gaze, it was difficult to hide her love.

On the side, Xiangyun suddenly said to Tanchun: "In Xia Lu Xueqi, the weapon Tianya Divine Sword, I want to go to the demon girl Baguio and tear her mouth!" ”

Tanchun couldn't help but smile: "Okay, you are a little prodigal hoof, you claim to be famous and decent, how can you compare to me blocking the fairy sword for Xiao Fan?" Look at me together. Hurrah! ”

Jia Qiang: "......"

……

On the official ship, the guards went down first, and then more than a dozen carriages were guarded by the guards and light horses, and they did not stop, and drove straight to the direction of the yamen of the original salt courtyard in the city.

Later, when Li Gui and Aunt Sun looked at it, they saw Jia Qiang riding down a horse, and beside him was an eight-treasure hairpin carriage.

After getting off the boat, Jia Qiang nodded with Qi Taizhong first, and then asked Li Gui and Aunt Sun, "Uncle Li and Aunt Sun, have you always been good?" ”

Li Gui and Aunt Sun looked at this handsome young man wearing a purple and gold crown and a bullfighting suit, and they felt that they couldn't afford to be an elder, so they only smiled politely.

Jia Qiang saw that she was alive, and she didn't force it, and after smiling, she pointed to the carriageway next to her: "Xiaojing is inside, her body is a little heavy, and it's not good to work around a lot." Uncle Li and Aunt Sun, your second elder took her back to Jufeng Island for a reunion, if there is anything, let's talk about it tomorrow. ”

When Li Jing opened the car door, Li Gui saw Li Jing dressed in ayaluo, with gold and silver on her head, she was also rich and powerful, and even her eyes were red, and she only felt that she had not worked hard for Jia Qiang in vain......

After bidding farewell to Qi Taizhong, the two took the island guards and escorted Li Jing's carriage back to Jufeng Island.

Qi Taizhong looked at the back of the carriage and sighed: "Ning Hou has a promise of a thousand gold, and the eldest son of the long house can succeed a guest in the rivers and lakes...... It's really, it's commendable! ”

Jia Qiang laughed angrily: "If you want to say that I am a ridiculous bastard, just say it, if Qi Yun dares to do this, the old man is afraid that he will directly break his dog's legs!" ”

Qi Taizhong laughed, Jia Qiang saw that the eyes of a young man behind him were a little evasive, and asked with a smile: "Isn't this the son of Qi Fu?" Is there still a painting boat on the Slender West Lake? Ben Hou wants to empty the Slender West Lake tonight, I'm afraid I'm going to disturb your Yaxing, don't blame it. ”

Qi Fu and Xue Pan grabbed the Oiran at the beginning, beat Xue Pan half to death, but was almost killed by Jia Qiang, and was teased by Jia Qiang at this time, Qi Fu couldn't find a crack in the ground with a face.

Qi Taizhong smiled warmly: "Ning Hou, the old man has prepared some water and wine there, why don't you go and eat two cups?" In addition, the dog Qi Wanhai sent someone to send back some letters from Johor, and he wanted to come to Ninghou to take a look. There are some things that should be discussed......"

I thought it would be a sure invitation, but Jia Qiang said: "The Qi family's manor is too far away, so it's better to discuss it on the boat." Coincidentally, I had nothing to do on the way south, got a copy of the South Sea chart, and touched it for a lot of days. ”

Although the second son Qi Wanhai also sent back a road map, it was only a sea map from Huacheng in Guangdong Province to Johor, which was limited.

The two returned to the ship and sat down in the hall on the first floor, while Jia Qiang went up to the second floor, took down the chart, and spread it out on the table next to the main seat.

Qi Taizhong stepped forward, looked at it carefully for a long time, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, and said: "I also asked people to go to the south and get a few remnants from the Western ghosts, but they are far from being as detailed as yours." Ning Hou, this picture of yours is worth 10,000 gold! ”

"Wanjin?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "More than 100,000 gold!" Qi Lao, look here...... Annam, Vientiane, Chenla, Siam, Shan...... This is the country of Johor where your son Qi Wanhai went! ”

Qi Taizhong's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again: "What Ning Hou said is extremely true, more than 100,000 gold!" With this map, it seems that the world is in front of you! ”

Jia Qiang smiled: "This is not even the eleventh in the world, it is far behind." However, being able to make a difference in this world is a great beginning. ”

Qi Taizhong's eyes were bright, and he looked at Jia Qiang and said slowly: "Ning Hou, Johor is in chaos now, and there is a lot to be done!" ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "It's not too messy, although it is suitable for a foothold over there now, but the Javanese have already taken over, and Siam has also taken a big bite, but in general, Java still has the advantage." Although it was not yet unified, the Javanese colluded with the Franco-Rang people to suppress and drive out the Sultan of Johor. If we want to make a difference, we can fight them in a short time, unless we have emigrated from Dayan in large numbers and have enough firearms and artillery to compete with the Franc and Javanese. Otherwise, you can't rush and take your time. ”

Qi Taizhong said with a smile: "Although the old man can't live for a few years, he still has patience. Ning Hou is right, it is necessary to send more young and strong people over, and it is most suitable to move people over while Johor is in turmoil. It's just that...... Spending chewing is secondary, and if you want to move more people over, the court is not easy to relax. The three boats of the Qi family have spent a lot of effort in the past, and no matter how much they are, it is difficult to rely on the Qi family alone. ”

Seeing the old fox looking at him, Jia Qiang sighed and said, "Don't worry about this matter, the old man doesn't have to worry, the domestic weather has been unstable in the past two or three years, and most of them have been drought, so there will be many people who have been difficult to become homeless." I would suggest to the Emperor and the Imperial Court that I send some to Johor. However, there is one thing that the Qi family must understand, if the imperial court really relocated a large number of people to the past, then after the past, it is not what the Qi family said. All the places where the Han people go, but the land where the sun and the moon shine, are all Han countries. ”

When Qi Taizhong heard this, his old face twitched, and said, "This matter, the old man will think about it for the time being......

If the Qi family does their best, they can also gain a firm foothold in Johor.

After all, there are actually many people who went to Johor from the Han land in the Central Plains.

From these people, the Qi family can also draw the foundation of foothold.

But if the imperial court makes a move and sends a large number of people over, it will inevitably be "mixed" with some troops......

One day, Johor will most likely become an inseparable part of the Han family since ancient times, and become the royal land of the whole world.

Then why did the Qi family go to sea across the ocean......

It's a pity, Qi Taizhong sighed, he is too old, and he no longer has enough energy to expand the territory, otherwise, he will be able to make a great difference.

Jia Qiang saw that Qi Taizhong had withdrawn his intention to let him make a move, and smiled.

Before the new policy was implemented, it was impossible for the imperial court to have no energy to do this, and most of them did not want to.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs can do it quietly, but it is also a big taboo.

Every Dayan common person is the wealth of the imperial court and a subject of the Heavenly Family, how can there be any reason to throw his own people out?

Isn't this eating inside and out?

If Jia Qiang does not have the will to do this without the consent of the Military Aircraft Department, I am afraid that she will be impeached into a sieve, and the Heavenly Family will not spare it.

Right now, Kyori is afraid that it is lively, so he had better not add fuel to the fire......

But......

"Of course, it may not be convenient to relocate a large number of people in the past, but the people of the Delin under the command of Ben Hou can arrange for some of them to go over as a help."

Johor is Malaysia known to Jia Qiang in her previous life, and Singapore at this time is called Sin Chew, which is part of Johor.

Adjacent to the southern entrance of the Strait of Malacca, Sing Chau guards the throat of the southern entrance of the Strait of Malacca, which is the port fortress with the most economic and military value in the whole Southeast Asia and even East Asia!

It is a maritime link between Europe, Asia and Africa, and in Jia Qiang's previous life, ships from most of the world's modern countries passed through here every day.

For the big countries that covet the East Asian plate, mastering Sin Chew is equivalent to controlling the maritime lifeline of this plate!

Now that Johor is in chaos, Javanese, Siamese, Johor natives, and-stirring stick Franc Ji are all about to hit the dog's brain and want to occupy this land.

And, there will be confusion for a long time.

If you don't take the opportunity to insert a nail into it at this time, wouldn't you miss a God-given opportunity?

However, Qi Taizhong's eyes when he looked at Jia Qiang were obviously a little unkind.

Picking peaches, there is no such way to pick peaches, right?
