Chapter 543: Ming Lin
When he saw Chang Mao, he was ignoring Xiao Biao's protests, pinching and flattening his round little face, and he was having a lot of fun, no matter how little Xiao Biao tossed, he couldn't get rid of his clutches.
"Chang Mao, you are really capable, and you won't let my son go!"
Seeing Lao Tzu coming, Xiao Biao hurriedly called for help, "Daddy, come and save me, uncle, he bullied me!" ”
Chang Mao looked up at Ma Du and said to Xiao Biao: "What's the use of calling you Lao Tzu, he can't beat me, hehe......"
"Yes, I can beat you well, but I can transfer you back to the Wa Kingdom."
Chang Mao immediately stopped when he heard this, "You Lao Tzu will make yin, don't learn from him when you grow up, go play!" He slapped the little gelding on the buttocks, and then let the little gelding go.
The little horse clasped his eyelids and stuck out his tongue and grimaced at him, and then ran away with his little short legs. Chang Mao smiled and said, "Hehe...... This kid is really unruly, and he doesn't respect his elders at all, so you have to clean up after it. ”
"It depends on who is right, some people don't have the appearance of their elders, so they don't need to be too respectful." Ma Du sat down opposite Chang Mao, "Aren't you in the Wa Kingdom?" How did you get back? ”
"You are an elder brother who doesn't think about your sister at all, since I hit the sea, I haven't been home for three years, I can't let the big fish stay alive and widowed at home. My father begged the emperor for a favor and replaced me back, leaving it for the Chang family first. ”
Ma Du nodded, "This is a serious matter, what is the situation on the side of the Wa Kingdom now." ”
After helping the Northern Dynasty repel the attack of the Southern Dynasty, Chang Mao immediately led people to camp near Iwami Mountain, and the inside and outside should help the elite landing of the 5,000 Ming army.
The Japanese people were panicked at first, but it can be seen that the Ming army did not make any moves and did not dare to provoke, and watched the Ming army build a wharf on the beach near Ishimiyama, transporting batches of materials, as well as the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty and the slave miners captured by Nanyang, and when they figured out the situation, Shimiyama had already produced silver.
"Hey...... The eldest brother wanted to ask how much silver he had come up with, right? Chang Mao stretched out two fingers, "It happens that I escorted Ying Tian, at least 60,000 taels." ”
Ma Du frowned and asked, "That's it?" It's not as much as I made by building a house in Yingtian. As a famous silver mine that once accounted for one-third of the world's silver production, he felt that it should produce hundreds of thousands of taels a year.
"That's less? It was only four months since the deposit was found, and only two thousand taels were produced in the first month, but then the slave miners were familiar with it, and with the soot blowing method made by the academy, the output went up quickly. Besides, the emperor is not too little, he is not happy, and he said that he will be promoted to my official son when he returns. ”
In fact, Ma Du thought differently, this production is already very high, and it has reached the peak production of Iwami silver mine in history. When the Iwamiyama silver mine was mined, it was in the Warring States period, and the princes, daimyos, and minamins were beaten into a pot of porridge.
The war between Ueda Village and Shimoda Village with 200 people is already a big scene, there is no spare strength, no technology, and thousands of slave miners like Daming are organized to carry out crazy mining with gunpowder.
"As long as the emperor is satisfied, there is nothing to say. By the way, is that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu still honest? Don't have a greedy silver mine? ”
"What can he do if he is greedy, he still dares to rob us with real knives and guns, and he can't be killed." Chang Mao patted the table very majesticly, "But that kid is also a little cautious, saying that he can't support us if he doesn't fight now, and he will have to charge money for grain, oil and vegetables." He also opened a big green building on the edge of the mine, and let the ghost-like woman dance at the door every day, and the soldiers were hungry and thirsty, and he had to earn money. ”
Ma Du stroked his palms and laughed, "This kid is really not simple, you can guard against him in the future." ”
"I'm going to prevent him from doing anything, I won't go to that place, I went to the earth dragon several times a year and turned over, fortunately it was a grass hut where I lived, otherwise I would have been shot to death."
"If you don't go, just give birth to a baby at home, and leave a few more seeds for Lao Chang's family! You sit slowly and drink tea, and then eat at home in the evening, and I go to the back house to see my daughter. Ma Du put down the tea bowl and turned around and got behind the screen, and entered the back house through the back door.
"Hey, no one to talk to me when you're gone, that's how your family entertains my uncle...... I really don't talk about etiquette at all. Chang Mao complained twice, and saw that there was only a little gel in the front yard who was holding a stone and throwing a koi in the pool, so he walked over with a smile, "Is the little gelding fun?" Why don't my uncle teach you how to play the little finch, hehe......"
Before he reached the small courtyard of Uzhina, he heard a cry of wow wow at the door, Ma Du immediately turned around, and when he entered the door, he saw that the water chestnut was sitting at the door, gently shaking the child in his arms, very like a good wife and mother.
When he saw Ma Du, he was overjoyed and said, "Brother, you came just in time, come and help me feed the child." ”
Uzhina gave birth to a daughter, this time Lao Zhu did not give her a name, Ma Du had to do it himself and named her Minglin. It's a pity that this child has only been in her mother's womb for eight months, and she doesn't have her mother's good physique at all.
The poor baby may not be as important as the lamb in her mother's eyes, and she has just turned one year old to take the child to herd the sheep, and said that she grew up on the back of the sheep on goat's milk when she was a child. This stupid woman Lao Tzu is a prince and not a herdsman, how can this be compared.
Ma Du wanted to hand over Xiao Minglin to Song Shuang, but Wu Rina was not happy, thanks to the water chestnut Jiao'er, who was determined to be a good wife and mother, and took the initiative to take care of the errands, and she had already started it in just a few days.
"This little girl is hungry too fast, and she has been hungry for less than an hour after feeding."
"It's the time to grow your body at such a big age, so you will naturally get hungry faster." Ma Du took the baby from the hand of the water chestnut, the little one was wrapped in fluffy and soft cotton clothes like a penguin, crying with his little mouth open, and a few small baby teeth had sprouted on the pink and tender teeth.
Ma Du wrapped her in his arms and shook her gently, then stopped crying, slapped Ma Du's chest with his pink little hands, and babbled and called Daddy indistinctly.
"It's still my brother, you won't cry when you hug her." The water chestnut took a spoon and bit half a spoonful of **, tasted it in her mouth, and then handed it to Ming Lin's mouth.
Because human milk can enhance immunity, Minglin has not been weaned even when she is one year old. Of course, the milk is Uzhina's, her milk is very sufficient, although she has to go to herd the sheep, but she still remembers to squeeze out a few bowls for Minglin, this mother's conscience has not been eaten by the sheep after all.
"That's nature, my baby knows that I am his old son, and I naturally don't cry when I am connected by blood." Ma Du kissed Minglin's soft hair, "My water chestnut is also good, it looks like a mother, and it will definitely be good to take care of a baby in the future." ”
Water chestnut twisted her body and stomped her feet and said, "My brother will make fun of me!" ”
"Who told you that I was joking, I have already transferred Hua Wei back from Penghu, and it may not take a few days to come to our house to propose marriage."
