84 The great weight of the gold
After sending these captives ashore, they traveled at sea for two more days, and Li Tianyang put Ma Rufeng and several of his cronies off the ship, mainly because he was worried that Ma Rufeng and these people would throw the pot on these sailors and men in order to shirk their responsibilities, and they were also afraid that the sailors would be detrimental to these people after they went ashore in order to conceal the news that the goods had been robbed.
It wasn't until another six days later that Li Tianyang and the others returned to the Bengang camp with the last twenty or so teenagers. Originally, after letting go of Ma Rufeng and them, they would be able to come back in less than three days along the northeast monsoon, but Li Tianyang thought that he had just got more than 1,000 taels of silver, and in addition to the seven or eight hundred taels that went out to distribute to the sailor's gate, there were two or three hundred taels leftover, and seeing that it was about to be the annual Chinese New Year's Eve, they all arrived at the boundary of Fujian, so he simply went directly to Quanzhou and bought some New Year goods for everyone It was just a matter of the way.
Everyone was fooled by Li Tianyang to come to the big man who does not lay eggs, and for the first time on Chinese New Year's Eve, he could not go home to reunite with his relatives, Li Tianyang knew that everyone still had regrets and misses in their hearts, this first battle was successful, and it was also appropriate to give everyone some benefits, and they could also inform Lu Bingyan to prepare to receive the thief's stolen goods, one side and two stoves.
This first battle at sea, at the moment when Li Tianyang and the others returned to the camp, finally drew a complete end. The whole journey, from the morning of the Laba Festival to the twenty-second day of the lunar month, experienced a full fifteen days of sea drifting, in exchange for a ship full of various goods and a thousand materials of the ship, which is thrilling, indescribable. The fly in the ointment is that three people were seriously injured and thirty-four were slightly injured when they went to sea this time, and the other teenagers also hung up some colors more or less, which can be said to be a tragic victory.
Among them, the biggest regret and problem is that everyone, including Li Tianyang, collectively exposed the lack of actual combat, and when facing real swords and guns, the whole thing is messed up. The most serious thing is that Li Tianyang prepared a lot of follow-up hands earlier, all because of his recklessness, impulsiveness and nervousness, he forgot to show it and it had already entered the end. When Li Tianyang turned around and thought of these methods, he was so angry that he hid in the warehouse alone and slapped himself several times.
But fortunately, the happiest thing for everyone is that this time there is no attrition that everyone is afraid of and worried about, even if it is affected by the aftermath of the tiger squatting cannon, Wu Jie, who is the most powerful in his hands, will be raised in the next few days, and he can lie in bed languid and make a few jokes with everyone. With the careful care of Sister Tao and her girls, these injured teenagers do not have all kinds of traumatic complications that are prone to occur in this era.
However, in a short period of time, it was difficult for these injured teenagers to make any contributions, and they all stayed in the camp honestly to recuperate.
It is the traditional habit of many ethnic groups in China to celebrate the New Year, although they are overseas, the accommodation conditions are a little simpler, but the momentum of a group of teenagers to go crazy is enough to turn the whole camp into a sea of joy. On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Li Tianyang and the others had already sold all the goods in their hands to Lu Bingyan's business, and they sold them for 3,400 taels of silver. Because it was the first time to cooperate, Li Tianyang and they informed Lu Bingyan in advance, so this time Li Tianyang and they brought back dozens of large boxes of silver, which were piled up in a warehouse in the camp.
Of course, if the flag is victorious, the brothers must be given some dividends, and each boy who went out to fight was given a whole ingot, a full ten taels of silver, and those teenagers who were waiting in the camp were also given five taels, and it cost more than 1,400 taels of silver. Every young man who received the silver had a smile on his face, and many people had never touched ten taels of silver ingots since they were young, and they held the silver ingots and gnawed them there as if they didn't believe it, until two clear lines of tooth marks appeared on the silver.
Although in the camp, the difference between having silver and not having silver is actually the same, and you have nowhere to spend it at all, but even looking at this silver every day, everyone is happy. Of course, Li Tianyang also has a way, and after everyone's fresh head has passed, he organized everyone to collect the silver back, entrusted it to Yang Zhi, and took the merchant ship that Lu Bingyan and they went to Tanmen every month to buy goods, and transported it back to the relatives of the teenagers.
The forty-third year of Wanli has passed like this, and in a blink of an eye, it has ushered in the forty-fourth year of Wanli.
At noon on the sixth day of the first month of the forty-fourth year, thousands of miles away in Songjiang County, a few men with yellow faces and thin muscles and a foul smell all over their bodies came, like beggars, powerlessly slapping the Xu family's mansion in Songjiang.
"Who?" A little guy impatiently opened the door and saw these beggars: "I want to die, don't you?" Don't look at it, whose place is this place, a few stinky beggars came here to ask for food! Hurry up and let me go, hurry up, get up and fuck off!! ”
The little servant said as he pushed and found a broom from behind the door, slapped it vigorously on the beggars' bodies, and drove them away: "It's really unfavorable for the New Year, and if you encounter this kind of unlucky thing during the New Year, if you are seen by the big housekeeper, it will be another training." ”
"What's going on?" The noisy noise outside the door still attracted the attention of the chief manager, and Xu Liu'an paced out the door with dissatisfaction, just in time to see the little maid driving away a few beggars who were already hungry and had no strength.
"Yo, isn't this the shopkeeper?" The sharp-eyed Xu Liu'an originally wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly found that the beggar underground was a little kind, and he cried out in shock after a closer look.
"Little rabbit cub, I don't want to see who the people on the ground are, so I dare to drive people out indiscriminately, and see how I clean you up in a while!" Lu'an kicked the dog and gnawed the mud while waving the little guy, and when the little guy got up and looked at the people on the ground in a daze, he scolded again: "What are you doing in a daze?" Why don't you come and help me carry people into the house, and let it be a shame here! ”
After finally carrying the people into the courtyard and handing them over to the subordinates to clean up, Lu'an hurriedly ran to report the situation to Xu Haibin.
"Master, it's not good, something is wrong!" Lu'an rushed into the hall in a hurry, just in time for Xu Haibin to flirt with a group of maids in the house in broad daylight.
"This big New Year, what big things can happen, look at you scared, there are no rules at all!!" Xu Haibin casually took his hand back from under the skirt of a twenty-eight-year-old little girl's clothes, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed lightly, glanced at Xu Liuan dissatisfied, and said nonchalantly.
"The shopkeeper is back, and the whole person looks like a beggar!!" Xu Liu'an knew his master's temperament, and hurriedly said the matter briefly.
"What??" Xu Haibin's face changed, and he stared at Xu Liu'an in front of the hall gloomily.
"Ma Rufeng, the shopkeeper who went to sea with the goods, came back with a few followers, and is now outside the hospital!"
"You're all out!!" With a wave of his hand, Xu Haibin drove a few maids out, and at the same time instructed Lu'an: "Bring me this bastard Ma Rufeng!" ”
"Yes!"
