Chapter 617: Family Affairs
The dream of maritime trade had to be stopped again, and the cruelty of reality far exceeded Mao Wenlong's budget. The small blow made Mao Wenlong realize once again that his poor historical knowledge alone was far from enough to make everything smooth sailing.
Only by following the trend can we win, and going against the trend will only lead to self-destruction, and we must not be in a hurry to do anything, and we must slowly come out step by step. After thinking about this, Mao Wenlong's depressed mood was much better.
The three Lihui brothers are not as cheerful as Mao Wenlong, and on the way back, the three of them all have a bitter gourd face. Waiting for the arrival of Mao Wenlong with hope, they are ready to do a big job, but in the face of the huge gap at the moment, it is obvious that they will not be able to recover for a while.
Fortunately, this trip was not without gains, on the contrary, in Mao Wenlong's opinion, the gains were still huge. It is obviously much more efficient to subdue Jiao Long, a pirate, to deal with those scattered pirates at sea than Mao Wenlong to personally send troops to fight.
Pay a little material, you can sit back and enjoy the results, this deal is not a loss, thinking of this, Mao Wenlong is in a much better mood.
Three days later, the group returned to Andongwei as scheduled, and when Mao Wenlong got off the boat, he saw the messenger sent by Chen Jisheng. A letter that had been delivered two days ago was now in Mao Wenlong's hands, and he went to the study to read the letter after returning home to reunite with his family.
As Mao Wenlong expected, what this letter said was that Adou and Wu Sangui went to the grassland to make trouble for Huang Taiji. Mao Wenlong has always been very confident that this matter will go well, and according to what Chen Jisheng said in the letter, it is also as Mao Wenlong expected.
However, at the end of the letter, Chen Jisheng's words aroused Mao Wenlong's great interest. Half a winter has passed since the beginning of winter on the grassland, and the materials exchanged before have been used.
Wu Sangui went back this time and quietly contacted the elders of those tribes, and the result was unexpectedly smooth. Especially the elders of the Jurchen tribe said bluntly that as long as Wu Sangui could bring them enough materials they needed, anything could be discussed.
Now Wu Sangui is facing the question of whether to agree to the request of the elders of the Jurchen tribe, so he asked Mao Wenlong in the letter, and is now waiting for Mao Wenlong's reply.
To divide the forces on the grassland and let Huang Taiji take care of himself, the Jurchen tribe is definitely the first. As long as he can ensure that the Jurchen tribe is not playing tricks, Mao Wenlong can agree boldly.
But when Mao Wenlong didn't want to defeat Huang Taiji, he supported another force to rise up against him. At present, of course, the best way is to support two or three more tribes to rise, and then let them restrain each other, and absolutely not let them have a chance to dominate the family.
With a decision in his heart, Mao Wenlong immediately wrote back to Chen Jisheng, and asked Haoda to send someone over from the sea immediately. In this matter, Mao Wenlong also found a good opportunity to make a fortune.
To support two or three tribes to fight against Huang Taiji, a lot of materials are needed, and Mao Wenlong can take this opportunity to make a lot of money. Of course, he also explained this decision in detail in the letter, and asked Wu Sangui to maximize the benefits, and definitely not let those tribes get any benefits.
The trade at sea was abandoned halfway, but such a good thing as the grassland came, and Seong was blessed to lose his horse. Mao Wenlong has already set his sights on this side of the grassland at this moment, and as for the affairs of the sea, he can only put aside for the time being, waiting for Jiao Long to swallow up all the pirates in the North Sea, and it is not too late to make plans.
"Everything takes time...... Mao Wenlong looked at the bright moon outside the window, and sighed helplessly!
There was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and when Mao Wenlong heard it, he saw Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan walking towards the study with two troublemakers. Seeing his family, Mao Wenlong's chaotic thoughts slowly stabilized, and it has been almost six years since he came to Daming, and Mao Wenlong has unconsciously integrated into this era.
He rarely thought about his past life anymore, and those memories had been completely sealed in his mind. Although I don't know where my future will go, and I am still quite confused about my future, these family members in front of me are real, and when I see them, Mao Wenlong feels that he is no longer confused.
Whether it is for himself or his family, he has the obligation and responsibility to take his future path well!
When Mrs. arrived, Hao Nature did not dare to stop her, and opened the door for her personally, Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan each led the children into the study.
"Daddy......" The two children's voices immediately echoed in the study.
A happy smile appeared on Mao Wenlong's face, squatted down, and opened his hands to hug the two little guys who rushed over.
After some playing, Mao Wenlong put down the two children, looked at Chen Lan and said, "Why don't you sleep in the middle of the night?" ”
Chen Lan was still carrying a food box in her hand, and she was bringing out a bowl of soup, walked in front of Mao Wenlong and handed the soup over, and then said, "There are some things to discuss with Xianggong?" ”
Mao Wenlong took the soup, drank it directly without looking at it, and put down the bowl before he said with a smile: "Is there anything that can't be discussed tomorrow, need to be in such a hurry?" ”
Hong Ziyan came over at this time, and while cleaning up her job, she complained: "We followed Xianggong out in the hope of being able to accompany Xianggong more, but as soon as we came here, Xianggong disappeared again. We were afraid that you wouldn't know where you would go tomorrow, so we discussed it with my sister and came to you at this time. ”
Mao Wenlong faced such a complaint, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, what Hong Ziyan said was not wrong, he seemed to be unable to accompany his family well every time.
"Okay, let's sit down and talk about something, we won't care about anything tonight, and it doesn't matter if I'll be with you until dawn." Mao Wenlong laughed, and pulled Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan to sit down.
The family sat together, a rare and warm moment, Mao Wenlong didn't want to be disturbed by someone for a rare time, and immediately ordered the vast to guard the gate and no one would come. I'll wait until tomorrow for anything.
Hao Da understood it and immediately did it.
Chen Lan pointed to the two children at this time and said to Mao Wenlong: "Xianggong, it should be time for the children to go to school, but you haven't found a good teacher for them yet." ”
Mao Wenlong suddenly came over, patted his head and said, "Look at my memory, I actually forgot such an important thing." ”
Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan both rolled their eyes at Mao Wenlong, but they didn't say much.
Mao Wenlong knew that he was not good, so he quickly thought about it and said: "Why don't you let my father-in-law be the enlightenment teacher of the two children, do you think it's good?" ”
Hong Ziyan shook her head directly and said, "No, my father spoils them too much." ”
Chen Lan also echoed and said: "My sister is right, we still need to find a famous teacher, and we also need a teacher who can control these two children." ”
