Chapter 53: Do what you like
With so much foreshadowing, the curtain is about to open. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Kneel down and beg for all kinds of support, thank you for the boat.
~~~~~~~
The pungent smell of blood had not yet completely dissipated, attracting a flock of gray vultures on the beach, circling back and forth overhead.
Looking at the belongings counted by the soldiers, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Similar to what was expected, this salt farm, the oil and water are really a little pitiful, full of calculations, the payment for most of the month, only less than 700 taels, fortunately from the salt field from a few stewards, swept to 6, 700 taels of silver, otherwise, this trip, it is really a complete failure.
At this time, Junko came to report, and it seemed that there were salt coolies coming to work in the distance.
Li Yuanqing nodded, "Let's go." After speaking, he glanced at Shang Lao Liu again.
Shang Lao Liu understood and hurriedly left.
…………
Behind him, the raging fire ignited, the smoke soared into the sky, although the salt field was on the seaside, but there were several dense forests next to it, looking at this posture, it would soon ignite.
The power of nature will soon bury everything that has just happened in the dust of history.
In the cabin, Shang Lao Liu blamed himself a little, "Yuanqing, I, I really didn't expect that these Chao~ people are so poor." Ay. There are also a few salt farms around, otherwise, we will simply stew in one pot. ”
Shang Lao Liu showed a touch of ruthlessness.
Li Yuanqing smiled and patted Shang Lao Liu's shoulder, "Brother Shang, this kind of thing is enough once." Although the silver is not much this time, it is barely enough for us to support for some time. Later, we still have to think of other ways. ”
This is already a big salt field of Chao ~ Xian, but its flowing water is ......
I'm afraid this is not as good as a small family-style workshop in the Daming Jianghuai area.
The water and soil in the Zhenjiang area are really not good for raising people.
Back at the station, it was already dark.
If you follow the distance, you can rush back to the station in the afternoon, but Li Yuanqing deliberately stayed on the sea for a while, which can be regarded as avoiding suspicion.
The matter has come to this point, Li Yuanqing estimates that this matter may soon be on Mao Wenlong's desk.
On our side, we must speed up our response.
If Chao~ Xianren really wants to fight to the death, then Li Yuanqing can only come to death and refuse to admit it.
However, these more than 1,000 taels of silver are really a bit hot, and they can't be spent for the time being, but fortunately, Li Yuanqing still has more than 4,000 taels of silver tickets, which can save the emergency, and the current vassal relationship between Chao ~ Xian and the Ming Dynasty, the big commercial houses here, should be able to buy the accounts of the Jin merchants.
Back at the camp, Li Yuanqing handed over six or two thousand taels of silver tickets to Shang Lao, and asked him to take people to Tieshan City to buy grain.
Originally, if things went well, Li Yuanqing also planned to give some benefits to the soldiers who went out to fight this time, but now, he can only wait for the time being.
Shang Lao Liu didn't have time to rest, so he led people to Tieshan City overnight, and Li Yuanqing was also thinking carefully, how to go ahead?
As the saying goes, 'it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice'.
Even if Li Yuanqing is a reborn person and has explosive knowledge that is hundreds of years beyond this world, this land is vast and sparsely populated, the population and wealth are too barren, and there are strong enemies of the Houjin Dynasty and a boss like Mao Wenlong, Li Yuanqing can't let go of his hands and feet for a while.
After thinking about it, Li Yuanqing understood that in this state at this time, the best way can only be to use external forces.
Also, in Yizhou and Longchuan, there must be someone to run the back road of Zhenjiang, but this person must not be Li Yuanqing.
In the final analysis, Li Yuanqing's qualifications are too shallow, his official position is low, and he has not managed the tasks assigned by Mao Wenlong in this trip, and he will definitely lose points, and at this time, the main force under Mao Wenlong is in full swing, and Li Yuanqing must find a way to jump out of this backwater and follow Mao Wenlong's main force to mix achievements.
After all, although the current Daming is declining, it is still a behemoth at the giant level, and if there is no Mao Wenlong in front, a small fish and shrimp like Li Yuanqing cannot have any chance at all.
But~~, Chen Jisheng's side......
"Master, you've worked hard all day, Ayako serves you to wash your feet, right?" At this time, Ayako walked in cautiously with a basin of hot water.
Looking at Caizi's pretty face, Li Yuanqing's heart was slightly relieved.
Influenced by the culture of the Ming Dynasty, the gentleness of the women of the island country is even greater than that of the Ming Dynasty.
Li Yuanqing's unintentional choice allowed him to pick up a treasure.
"Ayako, have you eaten well today?" Li Yuanqing sat on the chair and let Caizi serve to wash her feet.
Ayako smiled, "It's okay." Wang Hai brought me a big fish. Master, tomorrow Ayako will make you fish soup. It is the flavor of our country. ”
Li Yuanqing suddenly remembered, "Ayako, do you know how to make sashimi?" ”
Ayako was stunned for a moment, "Master, sashimi?" What is sashimi? ”
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but sigh, it is only the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the Japanese state has not yet been westernized, so this kind of thing will naturally not appear.
After washing her feet, Ayako's pretty face became more and more red.
Li Yuanqing's heart was also on fire, but the barracks were important, and Li Yuanqing still wanted to maintain her authority and sacredness.
"Ayako, let's go, Lord will take you to the boat to yo."
Of course, Caizi understood what Li Yuanqing meant, so she hurriedly lowered her head and followed behind Li Yuanqing.
…………
In the evening, the fleet docked at a temporary pier on the coast, and the sailors, except for some who were on duty for the night, went to the shore camp to rest.
found a small boat and drove these sailors away, and Li Yuanqing occupied the boat in a high-sounding manner.
In the cabin, Li Yuanqing's expression was a little fierce, as if he wanted to vent all his displeasure during this time.
Ayako also knew that this was not the place, so she could only desperately cater to Li Yuanqing and not let herself make a sound.
After the wind and rain, Li Yuanqing gently held Caizi's little hand and said a little apologetically: "Caizi, I'm sorry." ”
Ayako smiled, "Master, no, you don't have to say this to me." Actually, Ayako likes it very much. ”
Li Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing, the inheritance of the Wa Kingdom, this thing, it's really hard to say whether it's good or bad.
However, looking at Caizi's pretty face, Li Yuanqing suddenly remembered an idea in his heart, "Caizi, it turns out that when you followed Mi Yizhen, I remember that there were still a few female dependents with good looks." ”
Ayako was stunned for a moment, "Master, you, do you still have anyone to worry about?" ”
Li Yuanqing nodded, and grabbed Caizi's slender waist with his big hand, "It's someone who is worried, but it's not for me." I am very satisfied with your service. Caizi, they are still in Zhenjiang, among them, do you know any of them? I will give her a path to wealth. But she also has to help me do something. ”
Caizi nodded hurriedly, "Master, the ninth lady of Mi Yizhen, is a Chao~ Xianren, and she has been an orphan since she was a child. She was also the most beautiful, but she was a little thinner, and at that time, none of the three of you picked her. I can go to her. ”
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be overjoyed, and kissed Caizi's pretty face hard, "Caizi, if this matter is successful, I will give you a great credit." ”
…………
Chen Jisheng has been proud of the spring breeze recently.
persuaded Liu Aita to have thousands of soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou, and at this time, he defeated the main force of Houjin on the northern front and beheaded six or seven hundred levels, although he did not participate in the battle of Zhenjiang City, but this did not affect his chief position in Mao Wenlong's heart at all.
Regardless of military affairs, Mao Wenlong's first thought was always him.
And with these exploits reported to the imperial court, Mao Wenlong rose to the top, and he, a guerrilla, would never be able to run.
It's a pity that at this time of spring breeze, no one can share the joy in his heart with him, I have to say, this is a big regret.
Back at the barracks, Chen Jisheng suddenly received a report from his own soldiers, and someone was looking for him outside.
Chen Jisheng couldn't help but be stunned, at this time, who would look for him?
After thinking about it carefully, maybe it was a gentleman who wanted to go his way, Chen Jisheng took off his military uniform, changed into a green cloth robe, and came outside the camp.
To his surprise, the person who came was actually Li Yuanqing.
"Yuanqing, you, aren't you in Iron Mountain? How did you get here? Chen Jisheng seemed a little displeased.
Li Yuanqing hurriedly said: "Big brother, this is not the place to talk, let's go to the restaurant to eat and talk." ”
Who is Chen Jisheng? In an instant, he understood that Li Yuanqing must have asked him, did not refuse, and nodded indifferently.
When I came to the private room of the restaurant, the table was already full of sumptuous dishes.
Zhenjiang City can be said to be the core of the lower reaches of the Yalu River, there are many gentry, as long as there is silver, life may not be much worse than those big cities in Liaodi, and, because of the proximity to the sea, the seafood is much fresher than the inland.
Looking at this table of dishes, Chen Jisheng showed a smile on his face, I am afraid that it will cost 5 taels of silver.
The two of them pushed the cups and changed the glasses, and they were polite, and they both had some wine, Li Yuanqing smiled and clapped his hands, and at this time, a petite woman with an abnormal beauty walked in from outside the door lightly.
She actually came to Chen Jisheng's side, and said with a deep blessing: "The slave has seen the uncle." ”
Chen Jisheng was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what Li Yuanqing meant, "Yuanqing, what does this mean?" ”
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Big brother, you and I are brothers, and the younger brother naturally won't hide anything from you." This woman was left by me last time when I killed Mi Yizhen, and at that time, I was one with Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan, and she was also the most beautiful among them, so I secretly kept her for you. A few days ago, the general may have been paying attention to this, so I didn't rush it. Now, it should be fine. ”
Chen Jisheng's eyes narrowed slightly, "Yuanqing, our brothers, you will be divided like this." ”
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but scold in his heart, "You shit." Lao Tzu saved you, you still fucking change your way to pit Lao Tzu? Who is this bluffing? At the beginning, if it weren't for a woman, the macho man Liu Dadou would have attacked you? ’
But on his face, Li Yuanqing smiled humbly and said, "Big brother, you and I brothers, do you still divide each other?" This time, I sneaked up on a salt farm in Chao~ Xianren, but unfortunately there was no oil and water, and I only got 700 taels. ”
As he spoke, Li Yuanqing made a color at the beautiful woman, who hurriedly took out a stack of silver tickets from her arms and respectfully said to Chen Jisheng's hand, "Master, slave, please have mercy." ”
Chen Jisheng looked at the silver ticket, and the expression on his face couldn't help but change a little, this is the three hundred taels of silver ticket number of the Chao ~ Xian family, which is common in the entire Chao ~ Xian.
At this time, the woman took out the silver ticket, and it was obvious that this was the settlement fee that Li Yuanqing gave him and this woman.
The woman had already leaned on Chen Jisheng's arms with interest and helped him pour wine, and Chen Jisheng was obviously a little unable to sit still.
Li Yuanqing drank a glass of wine by himself and didn't say much.
Chen Jisheng was itching, but he could only hold back, and smiled at Li Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, our brothers, are we still outsiders?" If you have anything to say, just say it to your eldest brother. ”
Li Yuanqing knew that the heat was almost over, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, in the cold land of ~ fresh, bitter and cold, the younger brother's ability is limited, and he is really powerless." Big brother, in my opinion, although our army has won a big victory at this time, Jiannu will definitely not give up, and Zhenjiang City is not so safe. The first line of Yizhou and Longchuan has superior conditions, so it is better to change to another brother than to let the younger brother do nothing there. The younger brother wants to follow the general and mix up more merits......"
Chen Jisheng didn't expect Li Yuanqing to put so much effort into it.
However, after thinking about it, he was also relieved that with Li Yuanqing's strength, it was really not so easy to operate properly in these two places.
The women around him leaned more and more into Chen Jisheng's arms, and Chen Jisheng was also a little absent-minded, "Yuanqing, this matter, speaking of which, I'm a little anxious." That is the case, I will tell the general tomorrow. However, on your side, you also have to give an explanation to the general. ”
