The sun is slanting westward, and the sun is golden. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info learned that the ship that had sailed away had returned, and there were not a few people waiting on the dock with Wang Chuan.

Before the ship entered the dock, the sailors were already standing on the side of the ship and kept waving to the people on the shore.

Mother bark and others stood beside Wang Chuan and waited together. What my mother cared about was the appearance of the crew on the ship: "Thin, all thin." When they come back, they have to make up for it. ”

The bark could see the waterline of the boat, and he was extremely excited to see that the draft of the three boats was very deep. Now he is in charge of the entire civil service and is well aware of the importance of materials. A third of these three ships were made of copper or copper ore, which was a staggering fortune for the entire kingdom.

Wang Chuan minted copper coins for a year now, and there are only more than 10,000 copper coins issued this year, but these more than 10,000 copper coins are deeply loved by everyone, and everyone is proud to have one. For this reason, some people do not hesitate to exchange a cow for a few copper coins. If there is such a one or two at the wedding, both the man and the woman will be happy for a long time, which is extremely beneficial to the happiness of the family.

Because of the limitation of the casting process, the current copper coins are relatively large, and only twenty or thirty pieces can be cast for a pound of copper. The amount of copper that Wang Chuan brought back before was not much, and he had to divide it for other purposes, so he wanted to issue more bark but could not obtain it. If there were tens of thousands of catties of copper now, the bark would really wake up laughing in the middle of the night.

Wang Chuan glanced at the waterline of the ship and began to see the scars of the ship. The damage of the three ships is not small, which shows how difficult the trip was. He only hoped that the casualties would not be too large. Now there are few people in the tribe, and they are stretched to the limit, and they really can't afford to lose. What's more, the crew on this trip are all with several years of sailing experience, and it is even more difficult to train. The loss of one will make people feel distressed to death.

The three boates slowly entered the pier outside the city, and immediately received great cheers from the people on the shore.

The people on the boat looked at the newly built big city and the people waiting on the shore, excited and proud. The tribe changes three times a day, and everyone was imagining the appearance of the city before they saw it, and after seeing it, they found that this city was even more magnificent than they imagined.

Many crew members jumped ashore without waiting to set up a springboard, rushed into the crowd and hugged their loved ones and shouted.

Niu Fan stepped off the gangplank and walked straight towards Wang Chuan and the others, and halfway through, several of his children, large and small, ran out of the crowd and pulled him to cry. Yuzhu, who was in good shape in the back, was embarrassed to hug those children and wanted to retreat out of the crowd. Now his man is in the limelight, but he can't make people laugh because of a few of his own people. The child misses his father and can go home and talk about it.

Niu Fan picked up the youngest child and hugged Yuzhu by the way. Yuzhu wanted to break free, Niu Fan said: "The king won't mind." ”

Not far behind him, Wang Chuan smiled and applauded, and the others burst into applause. What could be more exciting than a family reunion?

Yuzhu finally knew that it was not good to hold it like this, and it didn't take long for her to break free from Niu Fan with a red face. Niu Fan walked to Wang Chuan with the child in his arms and knelt down on one knee and said, "King, Niu Fan has lived up to the trust and finally returned from Huaiyabu." ”

Wang Chuan said: "It's been hard all the way. At the beginning of the dynasty, you worked hard outside, and the credit is not small. Can the soldiers be damaged? ”

Niu Fan's face was solemn and he began to talk about his work. Nearly 100,000 catties of copper and ore were obtained during this trip. In addition, whale meat, oil, skins, donkeys and horses, medicines, etc., make the boat almost fully loaded. The ship docked and walked, and from time to time went ashore to replenish freshwater vitamins, sometimes colliding with the reef, and the orientation board was mostly damaged. Fought with the shore residents more than ten times, and encountered strong winds and waves twice. Loss of crew thirteen people. The three ships are almost ready to be decommissioned.

But all in all, the results were good.

Wang Chuan made a statement to appease the families of the martyrs, and threatened to reward everyone for their meritorious deeds when he turned back.

Bark arranged for someone to take over the ship and let the crew donkey and horses disembark. Among the crew, a hairy boy jumped over and said, "King, I'm here." ”

This is a big hair that has grown half a head taller. With Da Mao came over, there were other twenty or thirty children.

In the crowd, the children of Huaiyabu who came over before squeezed out of the crowd one after another, pulling Da Mao and other children to laugh closely.

Nian'er was also in the crowd, and she also walked out. As the daughter of Bihu, she is very respected in Huaiyabu. When the children who came down from the boat saw her, they all came over and nodded and greeted. Now Nian'er also goes to school with her children, but as an experienced adult, her learning attitude is different from that of children. In addition, Bihu had taught her before, and she had already completed the first, second and third grade courses in a year. Now she is following the fourth grade class and tutoring the children who came from Huaiyabu. In the future, I should be able to become a qualified teacher.

After two years of recuperation, she is no longer the skinny appearance she used to be, and now she has become a good-looking young mother.

Da Mao saw his sister, came to Wang Chuan's side, stretched out his hand and took a piece of kudzu and stuffed it into the mouth of the little elephant next to him. I haven't seen him for two years, and the baby elephant has almost forgotten about the child, smelling the smell of kudzu, the little elephant remembered him, and then raised his nose to greet him before taking kudzu into his mouth.

Wang Chuan said: "I haven't seen you for a year, and I've grown a lot older." Is your dad willing to get you here? ”

There was no big hair among the children sent by Bihu before. What Bihu means is that Da Mao, the child, is still taught by himself. After teaching for a few years, he can throw the burden of Huaiya to Da Mao, and then he will come to the River tribe to retire.

Da Mao said while intimacy with the little elephant: "My father said that the king knows more than him, so he should come and learn from the king for a while and then go back." Two months ago, my father was preparing to send troops to unify Shanghuai Lake, and originally said that he would not let me come until the unification of Shanghuai Lake, but later he heard that the king was now building a city. He asked me to come over and learn from the king to build a city. I didn't expect the king's city to be built so quickly. ”

Wang Chuan said: "There are many things to build a city, which can be built so quickly." You have to follow along, and there are so many things to learn. It's good that you're here, and you can get close to your aunt and brothers and sisters. If you learn from them, you'll be worthwhile. However, you said that your father is going to unify Huaihu? How can it be so fast? ”

Wang Chuan had written a five-year plan to Bihu before, and it would be two years before he was unified with Huaihu. Even after Da Mao is in charge, leave it to Da Mao to do it, so as to accumulate prestige for Da Mao. Now Bihu has sent Da Mao here, obviously wanting Da Mao to get close to these children who were sent first, and he is not going to let Da Mao become the leader of the Huaiya Department with merit and prestige.

Da Mao said: "Those people in Shanghuai Lake are too thieves, they actually stole our seeds and learned to plant them themselves." My father said that if I didn't get them to submit, it would be a big problem in the future. It's better to start late than early, so the troops were sent out before the autumn harvest. ”

"Oh?" This was somewhat out of Wang Chuan's expectations. The previous plan was done in a hurry and ignored this. The enemy also learns experience and becomes stronger. Bihu is right about this.

Wang Chuan turned his head to look at the new child in Huaiyabu, and said to Da Mao: "You are a clever child, you will study hard when you come to school." You are no better than them, you have many brothers and sisters here. You can also come and listen to my lessons. If you don't learn better than they do, look back and see how I clean you up. ”

Since Bihu got Da Mao, Wang Chuan had to help Bihu train him. If Da Mao, the successor, has not learned well as other children, then Huai Yabu will be in a mess when he turns around.

With Nian'er Shangxiang and others here, Da Mao Wang Chuan doesn't need to be arranged. Seeing that something was going on at the dock, Wang Chuan walked back out of the crowd.

Niu Fan saw it, but he followed from behind and said, "King, there is one more thing to report to you." ”

"You say." Wang Chuan stood still and waited for Niu Fan to say the following.

Niu Fan said: "When we passed through the confluence of Daze and Taijiang, we were attacked by people who entered the salt. If we hadn't seen the opportunity to get around, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to come back. We looked at their number on the raft, and there were no less than a thousand people besieging us on the surface of the water alone. This matter ......"

Wang Chuan listened to Niu Fan's account of the encounter on the water surface in detail, and said: "We have the bottom of our hearts when you report this. The latest news says that they now have more than 10,000 people. Zhuang Niu is in charge of this. I'll go back and add to him what you've said. He's doing it with a plan. I am afraid that it is already an autumn grasshopper now, and it won't be long before it jumps. You've just come back, so I'll have a few days of rest, and maybe I'll have to send you out to help. ”

War is a means of speeding up progress. The enemies of the Huaiya tribe are getting stronger, and the people who enter the salt clan are also getting stronger. They are now on the south bank of the Taijiang River to farm. Last winter, the population fell by nearly 30 percent. But this spring and summer, they have been greatly replenished. And the planting area has reached tens of thousands of acres. These Wang Chuan have always cared about them. Having a proper enemy can motivate you, but letting the enemy sit big and become a big trouble will not outweigh the losses. For more than a year, Zhuang Niu has been in charge of this, and now it seems that it is time for the autumn harvest.
