"Daddy, what the hell should you do? If you can't get the silver again, if your lone seedling hangs yourself, your old Zhang family will wait to cut off your children and grandchildren! ”

At the end of the peninsula, Chengshanwei Qingji Island is a sub-thousand households.

In the dilapidated earthen embryo official hall, a middle-aged woman in her forties who still has charm but is wearing patched clothes, splits her head and covers her face, and she gives an ultimatum to a man in a shabby deputy thousand official robes.

"Hey, it, don't panic, don't panic. We are big people, can we still suffocate urine? Isn't it just a thousand taels of silver? Big deal, can't I sell the ancestral property of our old Zhang family? I promise to let Samwa'er marry the eldest lady of the Ma family! ”

The man took a suffocation of his cigarette, forced a smile and showed a mouthful of big yellow teeth, and looked at the woman flatteringly.

"A thousand taels?"

"The surname is Zhang, is this a matter of a thousand taels? Miss Ma's father is a woman, her uncle is a prefect, and when she becomes a relative in the future, you can't buy land for Shenwa'er? Do you still want to stay on this broken island where birds don't for the rest of your life, like you? Why was I blind in the first place, and followed such useless shitty with you, wow......"

One crying, two troubles, three hangings!

The women of the military family are often more pungent than ordinary people, and seeing that the men still can't turn the corner, the women also use nirvana.

Looking at his wife's heartbroken appearance, the man's old face was full of embarrassment and bitterness.

Although the woman's words are ugly, they are really true......

has followed him since he was thirteen or fourteen years old, but he has never enjoyed any happiness with him in his life, and has been exposed to the wind and sun on this Qingji Island for decades.

When he got old, his son finally had a chance, and he didn't mention the third place in the middle school entrance examination, but he also had a marriage with Wendeng's big family and the daughter of the Ma family.

If it was because of this, his precious son would be affected again, then, even if he went underground, what kind of face would he have to go to see the ancestors of their old Qin family again?

Seeing that his wife was crying more and more sad, although the man already had a choice, he still wanted to resist stubbornly, and said: "Child, then, what do you say, even if we sell all the Qingji Island, we can barely make up a thousand taels, and if we want to buy a house and land, it will not be easy to do......"

"You've got a donkey kicked! The land on Qingji Island is not valuable, isn't there still Liugong Island? Liu Gongdao is also under your rule, and those bitches don't give us half a cent of silver in the salt farm, why do you have to carry the black pot for them! Also, Sea Donkey Island, Jizi Island, and several small islands in front of Chengshan, we sold them to him! Anyway, there are not many families on these islands, do you still want to retire and leave it to others? ”

The woman was obviously prepared, and while she was wronged, a pair of apricot blossom eyes flashed with a gleam.

"This ......"

The man suddenly hesitated, a little wordlessly entangled.

Although the mother-in-law's words are rough, they are not rough, Chengshanwei's side, there has been almost two years without a penny of silver, and the guard is in a mess, not to mention the place.

When he took over Qingji Island from his father, there were more than 400 households on Qingji Island, and now, there are less than 40 households......

Those who have the ability have fled, and those who have no ability either starve to death or die of illness, and this side of Qingji Island has long been unsuitable for human survival.

Several surrounding islands, including Liugong Island, which is larger than Qingji Island, are even worse than Qingji Island.

The man knew very well that according to such a state of affairs, it was a matter of time before these islands were abandoned, and it was better to use them instead of watching them be abandoned, and when he still had the right to deal with these things, he would make a fortune for himself.

"you, it's not that this thing can't be done. However, who would be the one who would be the wronged boss and give so much money. Besides, on Liugong Island and Wild Donkey Island, there are not even a few households, so how much money can they pay? ”

The man looked at the woman aggrievedly.

"You don't care about this, the old lady has her own way. Do you remember, the old man who came from Haicheng some time ago? ”

The woman will no longer hide it, and the light in her eyes will appear.

"You mean ......"

"Huh."

The woman smiled proudly: "That old man wants to go to the Japanese country to do maritime trade business, and he has always wanted to buy land on our side. As long as we can be prepared, it will be no problem to fool him with five or six thousand, seven or eight thousand taels of silver! With all this silver, what are we doing with this bird who doesn't in Chengshanwei? Go to Wendeng City to buy a few shops, and then buy some good fields, it's not fragrant to collect rent, and when the time comes, Samwa'er will also have face, right? ”

"you, what do you mean...... Use the above name to ......"

"Hehe, you're not too stupid to be a dead old man, don't you have a fatal friendship with the commander? When the time comes, let's ......"

……

On the evening of the third day, Xu Changqing received the news that Cheng Shanwei's spies had negotiated Qingji Island for only 6,000 taels of silver, including more than a dozen islands of size such as Liugong Island, Wild Donkey Island, and Jizi Island, including sixty or seventy acres of land near Chengshan.

Let's not talk about the color of these fields, but the location of these islands is a chokehold!

Especially Liugong Island, which was the Beiyang Navy station back then!

Xu Changqing didn't expect that Wei would dare to sell his land to such an extent, which was simply shocking!

However, after carefully reading the news from the spies, Xu Changqing also understood that the guard at this time had already exploded.

Chengshanwei can also be regarded as David's office, at the level of a commander, but now the entire population is combined, I am afraid there are still three or five hundred households.

Without these military slaves, the commanders are about to starve to death, where is the bottom line?

Immediately, Xu Changqing waved his pen and directly agreed to this plan.

It's not that Xu Changqing has a lot of money and has nowhere to spend it, the main thing is that this kind of thing is taboo after all.

These places may not have any ability to do things, but the bad thing is a top master, first use silver to scare them, stand on their heels, and then find a way to pinch them, naturally save a lot of effort, especially conducive to gathering the local people's hearts, earn a good reputation.

It seems that Xu Changqing is going to spend some silver at this time, but these silver are definitely worth it!

In the inner study, Xu Changqing quickly found the locations of Liugong Island, Qingji Island, and Chengshan on the map, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a crooked smile, refreshed.

Although the land of Shandong Zuo Association is good, the biggest disadvantage is that the depth is not enough, there is no danger to defend, there is no room for retreat, and the advantages of the fleet under Xu Changqing cannot be brought into play.

However, if you can gradually control the control of these very livable islands in the peninsula, then this depth will be greater, including the southern Liaoning region, and it will also become Xu Changqing's back garden!

……

The reward lasted for five days, and then the curtain came to an end.

The meritorious soldiers not only received the cash reward of Bai Huahua, but also a lot of various materials, and even crossed the streets, not to mention how enjoyable it was.

This also greatly increased Haicheng's purchasing power for a while, and the entire Haicheng was jubilant.

Especially for many newcomers who have just settled in Haicheng, they have suddenly found their backbone and found the goal of struggle.

For a time, the huge sea city was almost more lively than the New Year.

After finishing the reward and many core tasks, Xu Changqing was finally able to relax for a few days, but Li Youwei and the others have not been idle these days, after discussing with the Yang family, Wu Xiang and his wife, Li Youwei's mother Zou family, and the heads of the Political Affairs Department, Xu Changqing's family affairs have gradually been determined.

It's set for May 18, a month later!

No wonder things are so urgent.

Wu Sanmei's side is not pregnant for the time being, but Li Youwei's belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, if she can't get married before giving birth, it will definitely be irresponsible.

Including Gu Hengbo, Chu Xue, and Tang Yu, they are the same.

Xu Changqing is really married, and their children are legitimate children, so they will change their names.

Once the date is set, the next step is to send out invitations to the world.

After all, Xu Changqing's current identity is extraordinary, but as long as he has been in contact, he must always do face work in place.

Including royal.

Not to mention that there are many protégés of the Li family and the Wu family.

It can be said that Xu Changqing got married, and the Ming Dynasty was shaken, especially the important town of the Nine Sides, but all vested interests can basically be related to Xu Changqing.

This kind of thing, Xu Changqing even thinks about it. I couldn't help if I was worried, so I simply left it all to my mother and Li Youwei to do the work, and I was happy to be idle.

During the day, he practiced with his sons, gathered the morale of the army, or went to the armory workshop to investigate the production of various weapons and equipment, and at night, he accompanied his wives and concubines, and they were free and comfortable in their small days.

Flash.

The time has entered May, although there is still more than half a month before the wedding, and Xu Changqing's official hall has not been officially formed, but the various arrangements have already entered the track.

On the side of the temporary official hall, there is a colorful atmosphere everywhere, and many big girls, little daughters-in-law, and little milk babies also come to join in the fun when they have nothing to do, and they are happy, and by the way, they also increase their popularity.

Xu Changqing originally wanted to go to Liugong Island and Qingji Island to investigate on the spot and determine a more precise immigration and construction plan, but at this time, Xu Changqing could only sit firmly in Diaoyutai.

In the evening, after drinking with a group of generals, Xu Changqing came to Gu Hengbo's small courtyard to rest.

Gu Hengbo was almost nine months old at this time, and he was about to give birth, and Xu Changqing also loved her very much, and he would come over to accompany her when he had time.

Gu Hengbo had already gotten the news that the yard had been cleaned up neatly, and he had prepared a few of Xu Changqing's favorite side dishes for Xu Changqing, and he also made a few small snacks for Xu Changqing with Jiangnan specialties.

After getting along these days, Bing Xue is smart, she also knows Xu Changqing very well, and knows that Xu Changqing will definitely not be able to eat enough as soon as she has a wine field, and she doesn't like to drink sobering soup, she prefers to eat something to cushion her stomach.

At the dinner table, watching Gu Hengbo gently help him pick up vegetables, his star-like beautiful eyes blinked and blinked, although there were a few more freckles on his pretty face, not only was he not ugly, but he was more feminine, Xu Changqing was also a little emotional for a while, as if he was in another world.

In the next life, an intellectual beauty like Gu Hengbo really can't be found with a lantern, and at this time, she is about to become her own child......

Thinking about it, Xu Changqing couldn't help but hold Gu Hengbo's jade hand hard: "Sister Mei, thank you for your hard work." ”

Gu Hengbo's face flushed slightly, "Why did you suddenly say this, ...... at night?" If only you didn't bully me......"

"Forehead ......"

Xu Changqing was speechless for a moment, it turned out that this girl had been worried about this ......

But this made Xu Changqing more interested, and just wanted to tease her a few words, but at this time, a maid hurriedly ran over, panting and said: "Master, out, something happened, in the northwest, there is an emergency military situation in the northwest!" ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly respectfully handed the top-secret letter sealed by the three fire paints to Xu Changqing.

Although Xu Changqing does not like to bring official business into the back house, and there have always been clear regulations on this, but at this time, the maid not only made an exception, but also from the northwest, which suddenly made Xu Changqing have a bad premonition.

Gu Hengbo watched Xu Changqing's face turn cold, and Fang Xin couldn't help but raise his throat, and didn't dare to speak again.

When Xu Changqing opened it and took a look, he was suddenly clever!

The arrogant Ding Qirui department, on the bank of Luoshui in Luonan, was defeated by the main force of the Wandering Army, losing tens of thousands of people, and the ancient capital of Xijing, which had gone through wind and rain, had been surrounded by the main force of the Wandering Army!
