Chapter 189: Drinking the Wind and Being Cold

Looking at Tang Xun's obsessive look, Yang Congyi could imagine how big and magnificent the ship was. But knowing how big the sea ship was in later generations, he didn't have much feeling about this Shenzhou, and he didn't think so, after all, the 212-zhang long Shenzhou was not worth mentioning compared with the aircraft carrier that was more than 100 zhang long.

Now that the sea ship has been basically completed, he doesn't have to worry about it anymore, and when the materials need to be loaded onto the ship, he will directly go to receive and deliver.

That night, Yang Congyi rested at Hanjiang Port, where there were temporary rest houses, and almost all of the people in the port would stay at the port at night, except for a few workers whose homes were nearby to go home.

Tang Xun has a family in Quanzhou, so he naturally wants to go back.

On the night after getting off the boat, in the simple house, Yang Congyi slept very soundly, and even had no dreams all night.

Early the next morning, Yang Congyi asked Jiang Kai for ten people, and then took them out of the port and returned to Quanzhou City, and returned to the Yi Supervision Office, preparing to take over the recruitment errand and recruit all the people who should be recruited.

Quanzhou Hui Yi supervised the construction of Tang Xun's family to live, Tang Xun has been busy with the delivery of port materials during this time, and the recruitment errand is basically handed over to them.

Before Yang Congyi left in mid-August, the Tang family had already brought people to help, they had seen Yang Congyi at that time, and now they naturally recognized this deputy envoy of Hui Yi Governor.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Yang Congyi clearly felt that the current Huiyi Supervision Office was no longer the original Huiyi Supervision Office, like a hierarchical home, rather than a yamen.

Except for Tang Xun's father, there will be no one else.

"Is Vice Envoy Tang there?" After Yang Congyi entered the courtyard where Yi Douzao was located, he asked the Tang family's servant in a loud voice.

The servant replied, "Back to Lord Yang, the young master is not here, he has not come back to live for more than a month. ”

Hearing this, Yang Congyi was a little surprised, he left last night, thinking that he was coming back here, but he didn't want to come back for more than a month.

Before he could ask anything more, he saw an elderly man in his fifties come out of the room and greet him into the courtyard.

I only heard him smile and say, "Lord Yang, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you can be regarded as back." ”

This person is none other than Tang Xun's father.

Yang Congyi hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Uncle Tang, are you okay lately?" ”

Father Tang smiled: "Okay, eat well, sleep well, everything is fine." It's just that as soon as Lord Yang left, Shiro's shoulders became more courageous, and he was so busy that he couldn't come back all day, and he didn't even have time to go back to Yi Duzao to take a few glances this time. Lord Yang is not here, Shiro is busy and can't come back, the errand here, the old man has to serve him snacks, take care of one or two, if there is anything wrong, please correct Lord Yang. ”

Yang Congyi hurriedly excused himself and said with a smile: "Don't dare." I am friends with Vice Envoy Tang, and my uncle brought people to help, and we are grateful. Besides, my uncle traveled from south to north and saw a lot of things, and we were fledgling, and the things that came back to Yi to make were extremely complicated, so we should ask my uncle for more advice. ”

Father Tang said with a smile: "Where is it, it's just to eat a few more bowls of rice, and where is the knowledge comparable to Lord Yang's extensive reading and travelling thousands of miles to see the terroir of various states." ”

Yang Congyi excused himself again: "Uncle has won awards, but they are just needless to run." My uncle has helped me and Brother Tang a lot in Quanzhou these days, and when the errand is over, we will have a banquet to entertain you another day. ”

Father Tang smiled: "No need, Shiro's errand is the Tang family's errand, and it is also appropriate for us to help him do it, Lord Yang doesn't have to care so much." ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "Since this is the case, then there is Uncle Lao." ”

Father Tang smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Lord Yang, come in and sit down and have a cup of tea? ”

Yang Congyi thanked him: "No, I still have something to do, so I'll invite my uncle to tea another day." ”

Father Tang smiled: "Oh, Lord Yang is busy, and the old man will not bother Lord Yang to do business." ”

After Yang Congyi raised his hand and saluted, he left quickly and came to the recruitment office.

The door of the recruiting office was closed, and no one was inside or outside. Yang Congyi pushed the door in, the tables and chairs were neatly placed, everything in the house was the same, and there were still many recruitment notices and slogans on the bookcase.

Several recruitment rosters were placed on the table, Yang Congyi sat down and looked through them for a while, and saw that almost all the six or seven hundred people on the roster were helmsmen, sailors, and craftsmen, among which there were several Langzhong, but none of the other personnel were missing.

Some personnel must be had, not to mention anything else, just Langzhong, one for two ships, and fifty people for a hundred ships. Among the fifty langs, it is really difficult to recruit. If the imperial court asks to go to sea immediately, Langzhong will not be recruited, and thousands of people who go to sea will suffer, and the sea voyage will be warm and sick, once the plague epidemic on the ship, a boatload of people, and even the entire fleet will die, Langzhong will definitely not be missing!

"Come on, take these slogans and paper to the street and put them up in a bustling and lively place!"

The ten reserve soldiers all came in after hearing the order, and Yang Congyi gave them the recruitment notices and slogans on the bookcase to recruit Lang Zhong, and asked them to go out and hype it up to see if they could recruit Lang Zhong.

After the reserve sergeant left with the recruitment notice, Yang Congyi sat idly in the recruitment office and waited for an hour, but no one came to sign up for any position, but he couldn't leave the recruitment office to go out, so he could only practice calligraphy to pass the time.

For most of the past six months, I have rarely practiced calligraphy, and I am a little rusty when I pick up the pen. In the Great Song Dynasty, there are no good articles, no good words, and it is a dream to be an official.

Yang Congyi took great luck and was selected to do the things that Yi Du made this time, and was awarded a small official position. He was born in martial arts, and he was awarded a military attachΓ©, otherwise according to his current writing, he would not have had the opportunity to be awarded an official among the literati, and he didn't know how many years before he would have the opportunity to participate in the scientific examination.

Even if the official is awarded, the writing still cannot be discarded, from time to time to write reports, to write documents, the official has to write a fold, the written words are ugly, and there is no literary style, no one will want to take a second look, so no matter what you say, no matter how correct and correct it is, Shangguan will not be interested, and it will be written in vain.

Yang Congyi is now a petty official, but he has great ambitions, and great ambitions must be matched with a good hand, otherwise everything is a blind toss, and no one can see it.

At noon, the sergeant who had finished handing out the recruitment notice and propaganda slogan returned, but there was still no one to visit and return to the Yi Supervision Office.

In the evening, the sun set, from morning to night, no one came to sign up, on this day, Yang Congyi practiced a day's words.

The following day was still the same, until the evening, no one came, not even a helmsman or sailor.

In this way, Yang Congyi couldn't sit down anymore in this recruitment office, so he immediately got up and went to the port to find Tang Xun, he had to come up with a way, otherwise he really waited for the order of the imperial court to go to sea, but because they recruited insufficient manpower and couldn't go to sea, they would be in a lot of trouble.

Hanjiang Port is the closest to Quanzhou City, when Yang Congyi came to Hanjiang Port, it was already dark, and the entire port defense had been taken over by the reserve army, and the reserve army at the entrance naturally recognized their supervisor army and immediately put him into the port.

After entering the port, I inquired, only to find that Tang Xun was not in Hanjiang Port.

Yang Congyi directly found the shopkeeper of the treasury to inquire about Tang Xun's news, but the shopkeeper told him that Deputy Envoy Tang left early in the morning, probably going to Shihu Port or Xiutu Port, and he had to personally check the accounts of the materials in the warehouse every night, and he didn't know if he would come to Hanjiang Port tonight.

After that, the shopkeeper told Yang Congyi that if he had something urgent to find Deputy Envoy Tang, he could go to his residence to find him.

Tang Xun really has another place to live, it should be near here, otherwise it will be too late in the night, and he will not be able to go back to the city.

The shopkeeper told him that Deputy Envoy Tang's residence was not far from Hanjiang Port, just behind Hanjiang Port, and it would be two quarters of an hour away.

Since the shopkeeper knew where Tang Xun lived, of course he had to ask him to lead the way.

The two immediately carried the lantern out of Hanjiang Port and went to Tang Xun's residence.

After a while, I saw a light in the distance, faintly like a small courtyard, and the night was too dark to see clearly.

The treasurer pointed to the lamp with his hand and said, "Lord Yang, that is the residence of Deputy Envoy Tang." ”

Yang Congyi said: "Thank you, you go back and get busy, I'll just go by myself." ”

After speaking, Yang Congyi carried the lantern, stepped on the ridge, and walked towards the lighted courtyard step by step.

I don't think Brother Tang is also a person who likes to be quiet, so he actually chose his residence in such a field where no one is around. However, it was dark all around, and there seemed to be no better place to live nearby, and with Brother Tang's temperament, he would obviously not want to let him live in a messy port like everyone else.

Looking down at the road, I came to the courtyard unconsciously, lifted the lantern and looked at it, only to see that the courtyard door was closed, and I raised my hand to push it gently, the wooden door did not move at all, and the door was quite strong.

Yang Congyi knocked on the door three times in a row, and then shouted loudly: "Brother Tang, are you back?" ”

There was no answer in the courtyard, and when I looked through the crack in the door, I could see the lights shining inside.

"Brother Tang, are you here? I'm looking for you for something. Yang Congyi knocked on the door three more times, but there was still no answer in the courtyard.

I couldn't hear a sound in the courtyard, and it seemed that Tang Xun should not have come back, but there were lights in the courtyard, which was quite suspicious.

A thought arose in Yang Congyi's heart, climb in and take a look?

When he put his hand on the courtyard and was about to climb in, he thought that it was not appropriate to enter the house privately, although they knew each other well, and it would be a failure to climb the wall without permission, and then he stopped the idea of climbing over the wall.

It's better to wait outside the hospital, Brother Tang shouldn't have come back, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hear his voice.

In mid-October, a gust of wind blew, and I felt a little cold in my thin autumn clothes.

Yang Congyi hung the lantern on the side of the courtyard wall, preparing to move his hands and feet, practice attacking, and warm up, but he didn't want to hang it firmly enough, and another gust of wind came, and the lantern shook and went out on the ground.

Outside the courtyard, it was pitch black.

It's dark, Yang Congyi doesn't care, after moving his hands and feet in the dark night, he began to slowly practice boxing.

After a boxing session was slowly completed, the heat on the body gradually surged, the cold wind blew, and there was no chill.

When Yang Congyi was about to practice again, he suddenly heard the voices of two young women talking in the courtyard.
