Ma Du shook off Shen Wansan's hand and scolded in a low voice, "What nonsense, no matter how rich you are, you are just a businessman, the army of the imperial court is the turn of you to offer a reward, and you have also seen the emperor's dragon power, he is not Zhang Shicheng." You can't control your mouth, and if you lose your head one day, I won't be able to save you. ”

In order to save Shen Wansan from bad luck, the matter of repairing the city wall only asked him to pay money, and the specific things did not let him touch his hands at all, I was afraid that he would be confused and ran to Lao Zhu to help him raise the army, but he didn't expect him to be so imprudent.

Shen Wansan nodded again and again, "What Master Hou said is that Shen will be cautious in his words and deeds in the future." ”

"How? Do you have a grudge against the Wakos? ”

"What did Master Hou say, how could Shen, a certain person who did maritime trade, have no enmity with the Japanese Kou, they don't know how many goods they robbed, how much grain they extorted, in the early years, Shen also had a distant nephew who died in the hands of the Japanese Kou, and he was often heartbroken about this." Shen Wansan's eyes were still red as he spoke.

Ma Du felt inexplicable, "A distant nephew makes you so sad?" It's not an illegitimate child. ”

Shen Wansan sighed: "I wanted to find a family business for my child at sea, but who would have thought that he would lose his life, and Shen owes them a lot to their mother and son." ”

"Then you can prepare the silver, and when the time comes, the severed heads will ensure that you will lose all your money, and when the time comes, you will directly donate the money to the academy, and no one will find fault with you. By the way, you asked me to kill the pirates, didn't you want to be a pirate yourself, I heard those people say that you didn't rob merchant ships, and you did a good job of this priceless business? ”

Shen Wansan was slightly embarrassed on his face, "Master Hou misunderstood Shen, I am a serious trader, but there is no royal law on the vast sea, and it is not only the Japanese who will rob, as long as everyone is a pirate when they go to sea, I don't want to rob others, but others come to rob me, I can't just arrest it." ”

"That's reasonable, you have been doing maritime trade for many years, and you have some understanding of the situation of the Japanese Invaders, so you can sort out all the situations you know and send them to me."

Shen Wansan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master Hou, I will definitely satisfy you!" ”

If you have a person and a ship, you will send weapons, Ma Du has to ask Lao Zhu again, although he is the supervisor of the Firearms Bureau, but without Lao Zhu's warrant, he doesn't want to take out firearms in large quantities from the Firearms Bureau.

Lao Zhu once again showed his stingy nature, and the military department gave the navy a bunch of replaced arquebuses, guns, etc., and said that it was enough to deal with a group of alien people.

In Madu's opinion, this is a joke, and the navy of later generations will use the army to eliminate it? The equipment of the Navy has always been the best, and even a humble cable on a warship is produced to extremely strict and special standards.

Lao Zhu is not strong, but Ma Du still has a good leader, this is a good time for Zhu Biao to play a role, and his opening is more effective than Ma Du's broken mouth.

Lao Zhu said angrily: "For the sake of the prince's face, I will give you a little good money." He took the pen and ink and bowed his head and wrote a long slip, and Madu took it and saw that all kinds of state-of-the-art firearms were available, but the number was a little less, such as the flintlock pistol, which was only given a thousand.

"Your Majesty, are you mistaken, there are 4,000 people in the navy, and you don't have enough firearms for Weichen!"

Lao Zhu put down his pen and said with a smile: "If the good ones are not enough, use the bad ones, and there is only so much under my hands, if you want a good one, just take the silver and let the Firearms Bureau and the Ministry of Industry work overtime to produce it for you." ”

"The emperor's little family background, you don't know, nine times out of ten have subsidized the academy, if it weren't for the rich dowry of the mother-in-law in the family, the whole family would have to eat chaff."

Ma Du spread his hands helplessly, "Besides, this is unreasonable, the navy is the army of the imperial court, what is the matter with letting Weichen pay money, the prince should give Weichen a comment." ”

Ma Du obviously found the wrong person, although Zhu Biao also blushed for his father's shamelessness, but he had to speak out to defend it, "Uncle, don't worry, since my father said this, it must be reasonable." ”

Lao Zhu also said: "Didn't you say that you can collect the money with the Navy City Division?" When the time comes, I collect my taxes and come back to me to buy firearms. You see how much I care about you, and even think of an idea for you, and I will definitely give you a good discount when the time comes. ”

Ma Du felt that it was better to take care of Ma Du a little less, and stuffed Lao Zhu's receipt into his sleeve, Ma Du arched his hand, "Then Weichen will retire." ”

"What's the hurry, I still have a few words to talk to you about." Lao Zhu's face was full of affection, "Xuanzhong, tell me why you are so concerned about the troubles." ”

"Wechen is really a public heart, just for my Ming people to avoid disasters......"

Lao Zhu interrupted impatiently, "Okay, there are no outsiders here, don't you have the truth with your brother-in-law." The queen muttered all day long about it, thinking about it in her dreams, and she couldn't sleep well. ”

Ma Du looked at Lao Zhu's dark circles, and knew that eighty percent of the people who didn't sleep well were Lao Zhu himself, and it seemed that if he didn't find a suitable reason, Lao Zhu would definitely become more and more suspicious in his heart.

"Back to the emperor, what Weichen said before is true, of course, there is still a little bit of selfishness, and the suppression of the Japanese is also for the sake of smooth sea routes, and one day you can go to sea to find Hawaii."

Lao Zhu raised his eyebrows, "Xuan is important to go?!" ”

Zhu Biao also said anxiously: "Uncle, you can't go, my mother will be sad!" ”

Ma Du smiled: "What am I going to do when I go back to Hawaii, it has long been a barren place, and my relatives and family are in Daming!" He stretched out his hand and patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder, "It's just that grandpa still has a lot of relics in Hawaii, and if I want to get them back, I have to at least give him a well-dressed grave in his old man's house." ”

"Huh...... I see. Lao Zhu smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, when I sweep the world, I will send someone to help you find it." ”

"Then Weichen thanked the emperor first!" Maduba looked at Lao Zhu and sent someone to find it, otherwise how would he know how big the world was.

"By the way, the Shun Ming Gong sent the model of the palace, I think it's good, and I'm ready to start the construction. This is a big job, and I'm going to leave it to you. ”

"Your Majesty, don't put any more burdens on Weichen, you let Weichen do this errand, in the final analysis, you don't want to save some money, Weichen can give you an idea."

Lao Zhu is this virtue, the palace wants to be built magnificently and is not willing to spend money, as soon as he heard Ma Du say that there is a way to save money, he immediately became interested, stretched out his hand to beckon Ma Du to him, "Tell me about it!" ”

"Wechen's idea is like this......"

After a while, I heard Lao Zhu's roar in the hall, "Bastard, you actually used the royal name to lend the name of the royal family to the copper-smelling businessman, where is my face...... Don't run, stop me! ”

Then I saw Ma Du covering his forehead, rushed out of the palace, ran outside the palace in one breath, and turned around to see that no one chased him out, so he stopped and said in his heart: "It's really stingy, I don't even want to borrow a name, who will spend money to build a palace for you!" ”

Lao Zhu Gai doesn't care if he doesn't build a palace Ma Du, he himself still has a lot of houses to build, many, many more.

The walls were expanded, so that there was a large amount of open space between the new and old walls, which would become new urban areas in the future. Before the city wall was built, Ma Du had asked Shen Wansan to quietly buy all those good lots.

What makes a good location? The proximity to the Imperial City is naturally a good location, not only prosperous but also safe. If it is replaced by another capital, such a good location, Madu may not have the opportunity to get it, there may be many original residents, with the stubbornness of the ancients, it is impossible for them to give up their ancestral houses.

But Yingtian is different, Liu Ji planned Yingtian very strangely, the inner city is not a traditional boxy, but like a crooked gourd, the imperial city is not in the center, but in the southeast corner.

There are a large number of ownerless barren beaches here, and the officials of Ying Tianfu heard that someone wanted to buy them at a high price, so they agreed without saying a word, and with a stroke of the pen, they increased the tax revenue to the yamen, and I heard that it was also a small upgrade for this.

Will it not be profitable to engage in real estate on Chang'an Avenue in the future? The answer is obvious. Ma Du is not worried that no one will buy it, and the imperial court has already planned to move tens of thousands of rich households to fill Yingtian and Fengyang.

With such a rich business, Ma Du didn't plan to make a big splash, so as not to arouse Lao Zhu's idea, he first quietly made a small phase, and the price of the house could be raised with a small price. He has already begun to fantasize about what it would be like to be a local tyrant with a small bench holding a small bench to line up at the sales office.

As for the other construction site is in Fangshan, the school district house with beautiful scenery by the mountains and rivers, although the profit will not be too high, it should not be worried about not being able to sell, there have been a lot of small businessmen near the academy, most of them are setting up stalls, or temporarily build a grass shed, and it is also very marketable to build some façade houses.

As for the manpower to build a house, there is naturally no shortage of manpower, he has 40,000 people under him, and he can't use them all if he wants to, so he can only choose 5,000 of them with good craftsmanship.

Originally, I had to go home to help during the busy farming season, but when I heard that I was in charge of food and housing, I didn't have a word to agree to give 60 wen a day. This one said that the brothers in the family had a lot of fields and were not short of manpower, and the other said that with so much wages, it would be cost-effective to work for a few months, even if the harvest was less than half.

When the tenants of the family heard that the landlord was building a house, they came to the door and said that they were also going to build a house, and emphasized that they were not going to get the advantage of the owner's house.

Where to find such a simple and kind good employee, Ma Du agreed without saying a word, and he didn't even have to pick up the old house, so he redefined the residential area for them near Fangshan, and promised to build them a cement road along with the official road.

After accepting the tenants' thousand thanks, the unscrupulous profiteer Ma immediately returned to the study and burned the welfare housing policy he had formulated.

It is said that there are no corpses in killing people and setting fire to the gold belt, repairing bridges and repairing roads, but when it comes to Madu, the old saying is not good, and he has just done something without conscience, and he was immediately retributed.

Xiao Dongmei didn't know why she suddenly had a fever, it came very violently, and it was useless to drink the decoction, so in desperation, Madu fed her a little aspirin. There is not much left of this medicine that Chang Yuchun eats, and it has expired, and it is useless to feed it

Under the stethoscope, it can be clearly judged that she is infected from the upper breath, thinking of the terrifying mortality rate of this era, Ma Du is like falling into an ice cave. Song Shuang kept beating Ma Du like a crazy woman, crying and scolding: "Aren't you a miracle doctor!" Hurry up and get rid of the girl's fever, otherwise you will be burned into a fool even if you are cured! ”

Since the crossing, Ma Du jumped up and down, always felt that he could do anything, and now he found that in addition to a little prophet of history, he also had a little professional knowledge, and he didn't seem to have much ability, without the advanced medicine of later generations, he couldn't even save his daughter.

Looking at his daughter's red face, Ma Du turned around and walked towards the door, Song Shuang grabbed him, and asked with teary eyes: "At this time, what are you going to do!" Cure my daughter first, or I'll die to show you!" ”

"What else can I do, I'll go to the palace now and ask for a doctor." Ma Du now pins his hopes on Lou Ying.

Xu Xiaopei glanced at the sky outside, "I'm afraid I'm going to close the door even if I rush to the city now!" ”

"I have my own way!" Ma Du shook off Song Shuang's hand, and as soon as he turned around, he collided with someone else.

The old loach covered his head and grinned, "The child is sick, why don't you take a good look at the illness and run away!" ”

"My grandson went to the palace to ask for a doctor, why are you here? Who told you! Ma Du looked at the old loach behind him, Xiao Yu'er, Water Chestnut and Wu Zhina, "You said that?" Didn't you make the second grandfather worry in vain? ”

The old loach said angrily: "Why don't you tell me, I can still count on you, my brother has great ability, you have only learned a fur, and now you have to ask the imperial doctor in the palace, what a shame for him!" ”

Song Shuang hurriedly said: "Second grandfather, don't scold him, let him enter the palace quickly!" ”

"When he comes back, the child will burn out." The old loach shoved something into Madu's hand, "Oh, take it!" ”

Ma Du waited to see the things in his hand clearly, and his soul was about to fly out, it was a plate of antibiotics, and there were two blue and white capsules on it, "Second grandpa, where did you get it!" ”

The second grandfather said with a smile: "It wasn't you who gave it to me back then, I ate one for Xiaoyu'er, and then I picked you up in the lake, and most of it went into your stomach, and I kept these two left, is it useful?" ”

"It works! It's so useful! With this Dongmei, there will be salvation! Ma Du immediately ran to the bed, took one and gave it to Dongmei, her body has no resistance, as long as there can be two or three percent of the effect, it is enough.

Song Shuang said deeply: "It is said that there is an old man in the family who has a treasure, and the granddaughter-in-law finally knows that this is true today, thank you to the second grandfather today!" ”

The old loach stretched out his hand to help Song Shuang up, "What do the family say, hurry up and take care of the child." ”

Wu Rina suddenly walked over and handed a handful of weeds to Song Shuang, "The sheep is sick, it will be fine if you eat this." ”
