"You're not ashamed, you are a father like you?" Qin Yulian glared and twisted the soft flesh on Shen Defu's waist, "What are you doing these days?" Why don't you send someone to deliver a letter to your family? ”

Shen Yue was also curious about what the cheap dad was doing.

At the beginning, he was a little resistant to Shen Defu's cheap father, but now, when Shen Defu is back, for him, someone has undoubtedly relieved his pressure. What's more, Shen Defu also brought back a lot of people.

"It's a long story! When we returned from the Wa Kingdom, we never imagined that Zhao Jiayu and some of Zheng Zhilong's men would wait near the Ryukyu Kingdom to rob our fleet...... Zhao Jiayu sank me into the sea with his own hands, and Shen Er and a few people untied the rope for me...... After drifting on the sea for several hours, I encountered a fleet of pirates......" Shen Defu said easily.

At the beginning, Zhao Jiayu sank him into the sea and encountered a group of pirates entrenched near the Ryukyus, who were originally going to use them as coolies, but the leader pulled them into the gang after knowing Shen Defu's identity.

From Taiwan Island to Ryukyu, and then to the front line of the Japanese Kingdom, almost all of them were controlled by Zheng Zhilong's forces, and the pirates who saved Shen Defu were originally composed of ships plundered by Zheng Zhilong's pirates, so life was naturally not easy.

Whether it is Zheng Zhilong's official bandits, or the pirates of the Japanese slaves, or even the warships of the red-haired ghosts, they are all extremely fierce.

A few days ago, Shen Defu and the others had a battle with the Japanese Kou, and were attacked by Zheng Zhilong's men from behind, and the leader was killed in battle, and as a result, Shen Defu became the commander......

Homesick, and there was no place for them near the Ryukyu Kingdom, Shen Defu led his men to Dinghai......

"Dad, you've become the leader of that bandit?" Shen Yue was extremely surprised when he heard it.

"What pirates! Will your dad be a thief? Maritime! Shen Defu glanced at his son. Yue'er, you're doing a great job! I have a successor to the Shen family! Even if the Father can't come back, he will be comforted in heaven! ”

"I just came back, what are you talking about!" Qin Yulian twisted Shen Defu again.

"How much food do you have at home? Although I don't have many people on the boat, there are a lot of people, more than 1,000 people......" Shen Defu asked Qin Yulian.

Hearing his words, Qin Yulian and Shen Yue didn't know how to answer.

The family was already running out of food, and now there are more than a thousand more mouths.

"Dad, the Zhang family and the Xu family are here today, and it has something to do with this. Our family has no food! Shen Yue said leisurely.

The food crisis, with the return of Dad with people, is now even worse.

"The Xu family promised to lend us 100 stone grain; The Zhang family helped raise a thousand stones......" Shen Yue said bitterly, "Now, it is estimated that the grain from both sides cannot be obtained." ”

"Didn't we always have a lot of food in our house before?" Shen Defu frowned and said, "What about Shen Da? ”

"Once Mr. came back, the family lacked more food, Yue'er trained the people, and now it has become a thousand households in Wujiawan, he went to Shandong to recruit displaced people, a thousand people plus family members......" Shen Yue cried with a sad face.

"Master, if you don't solve the food problem at home in the past two days, this ......" Qin Yulian reminded Shen Defu.

When Shen Defu came back, the pressure naturally had to be borne by him.

Thinking that his son was already acting for a thousand households, he asked Shen Yue, "What are your plans?" ”

"Dad, originally I was thinking of buying some food from the rich households in Dinghai County, and then arranging for people to go to other places to purchase food. There are a lot of people in Daishan County, plus the people on the side of Longshan, nearly 10,000 people, and the daily consumption is at least 100 stones......" Shen Yue's words made Zhang Shanlu have a headache.

"How much silver is left in the house?" Shen Defu asked.

"More than 100,000 taels." Qin Yulian didn't know that Shen Yue still had millions of taels of silver in his hands. "Now you can't buy food with silver, unless you pay a high price! Once we buy at a high price, the grain merchant will raise the price further. ”

"Then give a high price!" Shen Defu said, "Tomorrow, I will personally go to Dinghai County and get the five hundred stones promised by the Zhang family first." ”

"Dad, how do you arrange those people? Nowadays, Longshan Institute can't arrange it at all. Shen Yue asked.

"There is no food on the ship......," Shen Defu sighed, "These people, let you arrange them." Where did we get so much silver? ”

Shen Yue told his father that he cooperated with the Zhang family in whaling, refining oil and making soap, etc., but what he didn't expect was that Shen Defu didn't make a fuss about his whaling at all.

"What did you say, sir? Let Jiao'er and the Zhang family girl serve Shen Yue together? What do you think? Xu Yaozong went home drunk at Shen's house and told Ding Xiang about it, so angry that Ding Xiang wanted to stab him with a sword.

"It's not the lawlessness you spoiled? If it wasn't for Jiao'er, why would it be like this? Xu Yaozong sighed and accused Lilac of spoiling his daughter before.

Rare, Lilac did not refute.

How does her own daughter not understand?

"But this thing ......" Lilac couldn't accept it anyway.

"I've also thought about this matter, Jiao'er likes to dance with knives and guns since she was a child, and it is impossible for her to marry and teach her children. Qin Yulian didn't like her in the first place, and the military power in Shen Yue's hands was handed over to Jiao'er, so naturally he would not be bullied in his Shen family. Qin Yulian didn't know it, would Shen Defu have it? Zhang Shanlu took a deep breath.

"In this way, the affairs in the Shen family's mansion are all in the hands of the Zhang family's daughter!" Lilac gritted her teeth and said.

"Do you think Shen Yue's son will make the Zhang family girl cut off the money, food, and silver of the soldiers and horses?" Xu Yaozong asked Lilac.

Lilac suddenly understood.

If Xu Jiao and Zhang Qiaoer are at odds, Xu Jiao will have the advantage.

Shen Yue, this kid, began to buy people's hearts and train soldiers and horses from the time he arrived at Longshan Institute.

"How much food do we have left?" Xu Yaozong asked Lilac. "If there is more food, give the Zhang family a thousand stones!"

"Master, your soldiers and horses ......" Lilac hesitated a little about this.

"Now, it can only be like this, once the Shen family is biased towards the girl of the Zhang family, how will our daughter gain a foothold in the Shen family in the future?" Xu Yaozong asked Lilac.

Ding Xiang immediately nodded and instructed the housekeeper to send food to the Shen family early tomorrow morning.

Shen Yue's father and son discussed all night, thinking about how to solve the food problem, and even the matter of whaling was also raised, and whale meat and other things could be used as food.

Far water can't quench the thirst of the near.

Early the next morning, the Shen family was pleasantly surprised by the convoy that delivered food at the door.

The Xu family sent a thousand stones of grain, and the Zhang family also sent a thousand stones of grain!

In the short term, Shen Yue's lack of food crisis can be regarded as solved.

But for the requirements of the two families, whether it is Shen Yue or Shen Defu who has just come back, they all have a headache, and the people of the two families are all asking for Shen Yue to marry Zhang Qiaoer and Xu Jiao within ten days!
