Throwing the empty bottle into the sea in boredom, he cursed in a low voice, then looked up and looked to the east again.

"It's such a big shelf, let Brother Zhang wait until now!" His irritability infected his brothers: "I have made an appointment to meet here at noon today, he is just the leader of Liu Xiang's old tent, but he has a big shelf!" ”

"It's coming, it's coming!"

One of the people watching from the shore suddenly screamed, and Zhang Dascara breathed a sigh of relief, and it didn't take long for a large ship to appear in his sight. Seeing this big ship, Zhang Dascara suddenly became nervous again.

He came to meet with Liu Xiang's subordinates this time, and in order to save face, he specially brought four big ships, each about eight zhang long and nearly two zhang wide, which was also the largest ship he could handle. But the other party came with a large ship, nearly half the size of any of his ships!

"There's a cannon on board!" Seeing the artillery on the opposing warship, someone whispered.

"What's all the fuss, it's strange that there are no guns on such a big ship." Zhang Da Scar shouted: "Make this ticket, let's also go get a few big ships, and find the Franco machine to buy a few cannons to play!" ”

"Don't make a fuss after a while, you will lose the face of our heroes in the West Sea." Another humane.

The other party's ship gradually approached the small island, perhaps out of prudence, the big ship stopped at a distance of more than fifty feet, and the muzzle of the black hole was facing them.

"But Brother Zhang?" There's a man on the boat over there.

"It's Zhang Biao here, and it's Li who is famous in the East China Sea over there?"

"Li Husan is here, on the way to meet the ghosts of Greater Luzon, bombarded them a few cannons, but they have a lot of boats, in order to meet Brother Zhang, they took a long detour, and invited Brother Zhang Haihan."

Li Husan is a big man, a pair of thick eyebrows like needles growing out of his eyes, he just said nonsense, the Spaniards known as Greater Luzon rarely appear in the West Sea area at this time. He deliberately hung Li Dascara so that this somewhat unruly guy would know who was the master of this sea.

"Didn't you hear that Xiang Lao has a friendship with Hongmaofan?" Zhang Dascar said: "Why do the ghosts still dare to fight against Xiang Lao? ”

"The Red Maobo and the Great Luzon Ghost are not the same, and they are fighting endlessly." Li Husan looked at Zhang Dascara with fixed eyes: "Brother Zhang Biao, you and I came here to make an appointment, and now it can be decided?" ”

"It's decided, it's the fifteenth of this month, that is, ...... Three days later! Zhang Da Scar said: "Xiang Lao, is it too late?" ”

"You just have to rest assured, there will be no problem, and our ship will be here in the future, so as not to make a mistake." Li Husan put up three fingers: "There are three such big ships, plus twenty fireboats...... Has Brother Zhang's reward ever been brought? ”

"Bring it, one person is two taels, and the younger brother will pay half first, a total of five hundred taels." Zhang Dascar gestured to one of his subordinates, who stepped up to the island and dragged a box out.

"That's it? Brother Zhang, you are not kind, this is a transaction of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and you only pay 1,000 taels? ”

"This is a reward for all the brothers, and after the capture, each of them will get five taels. As for the leaders, the younger brother has another thank you gift, please rest assured, no one dares to mess with the old man! ”

Zhang Dascar said this in his mouth, but he sneered in his heart, Liu Xianglao is now fighting with Zheng Yiguan, and he has suffered several big defeats in a row, even a small transaction of thousands of taels of silver has also sent a fierce general like Li Husan, which shows that he has reached the point of almost exhaustion. After completing this vote, he only needs to find a place to hide for a while, and then spend some money to make a point, and even get a half-official position like Zheng Yiguan...... In that case, what can Liu Xiang do to him? Maybe it will be him and Zheng Yiguan to carve up Liu Xiang's old territory.

"Do you really think so?" Li Husan stared at Zhang Dascar for a while.

"Exactly, the younger brother has already enveloped more than 20 forces large and small in the entire Xihai, and gathered enough 3,000 people, plus the 500 people of Xianglao, and it is safe to take a village guarded by more than 1,000 people at most."

"Well, as you say...... However, the business is only a few thousand taels of silver, so I don't need Li Husan to go out, Zhang Fu, this matter will be handed over to you. ”

A man beside Li Husan, who had been silent, stepped forward and arched his hand towards Zhang Dascar: "In Xia Zhang Fu, I have seen Leader Zhang." ”

"It turned out to be my own family, so I had to work." Zhang Da Scarla also bowed affectionately.

He had also heard of the name of this Zhang Fu, under Liu Xiang's old hands, although his status was not as good as Li Husan, he was also a character. He brought 500 people here, and Zhang Dascara was not only not disappointed, but felt relieved. This Li Husan is famous for his murder, and he is both wise and brave, Zhang Dascar pulls him out, he really doesn't have much confidence, and he is always worried that Li Husan will calculate himself from behind.

"Let's talk about it, how should we hold it." Na Fu asked.

"I received the news, on the fifteenth day, the people in the village will go to Shi Luodong, and the Dong people will jump the ridge together, and then the defense in the village will be empty, and there is no one to command, but in one fell swoop!"

"That being the case, at noon on the fifteenth, we will meet outside Longmen, first break Longmen Island, and then take the new Xiangzhai!"

After the two parties agreed, they each left the island, looking at Zhang Da Scara in the distance, a sly smile appeared on the corner of Li Husan's mouth.

"Fool." Zhang Fu also smiled.

"Little official, do you really want to do this?" Just as the two pirates were in alliance, in the new Xiangzhai, Jiang An asked Yu Guozhen with an embarrassed face.

"Of course, we have to do it like this, after marriage, according to our Han Li, but before marriage, we have to come according to their Dong Yi." Yu Guozhen said: "Although the two pillars of the big pillar have set up a marriage, they have not yet officially married, and the flowers in Jiuhe only have a color heart and no color gall, so you are the first one in our family health to get married, and this thing must be done!" ”

"But ......"

"Don't worry, aren't they just some pirates, if they were in the sea, we couldn't help them, but we went ashore...... Will our guards be afraid of these rabble? ”

"That's it, you can be a groom with peace of mind, just don't be unable to get up the next day." Luo Jiuhe, who had been holding back for a long time next to him, finally couldn't help but smile.

"You are a pervert, in front of petty officials, you dare to talk nonsense!" Shogishi glared at him.

"Not only dare to say it, but when the time comes, I will have to accompany the little officials to make trouble in the cave room, hehe, I will learn it to the brothers the next day!"

"You dare!"

"Why don't you dare, old cow, you say, do I dare?"

Qi Niu glanced at Luo Jiuhe, he was a kind person, and only said after a while: "**A moment is worth a thousand gold, I think it's better to distinguish the veteran's heart." ”

Immediately, everyone laughed, even Jiang An, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "I always thought you were an honest person, but I didn't expect that you were not honest, but what petty officials often say...... Scratch! ”

Xiaolian, who was waiting next to her, also pursed her lips and smiled shyly, her eyes squinting slightly at Yu Guozhen. Yu Guozhen felt that she was looking at herself, and smiled at her, and Xiaolian suddenly lowered her head and her face was flushed.

"Okay, don't make trouble, this matter must be kept secret, no matter who it is, don't leak it." Yu Guozhen stood up: "Jiang'an, you take two people to Qinzhou City to buy some gifts, and make a bigger noise, understand?" ”

"Yes!"

"Jiuhe, the new guards, they have never been in actual combat, you have to keep an eye on them, these days are going to be done as usual, and there will be no accidents when the time comes."

"Yes!"

With Yu Guozhen's order, everyone became serious, Xiaolian's shame also dispersed, and after everyone was ordered to go out, she came up and wiped the sweat from Yu Guozhi's body with a towel.

"Xinxiang is good for everything, but this is not good, the weather is always so hot, seeing that it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is still like this, and I am sweating at every turn." Xiaolian complained: "Little official, this is because Qinzhou is south of the Tropic of Cancer, and the sun always shines directly, right?" ”

"Xiaolian has made progress in her knowledge recently, but you didn't like geography very much before." Yu Guozhen said with a smile.

"This is also a helpless thing, we have a private school here, if my sister doesn't come, then I can only take it first?" Xiaolian sighed: "Little official, when will I take over my sister Ruyi, I miss them a little." ”

Yu Guozhen has always been very concerned about education, because of the lack of manpower, the young people in the family need to work, and even the performance has been affected to a certain extent, so he has no time to take care of education for the time being. But now that he has a little more manpower, he began to plan to establish a new private school.

He has always believed that a village without a primary school is a village without vitality, a town without a secondary school is a town without vitality, and a city without a university is a city without a soul.

However, he is not going to use temporary wooden houses for the establishment of the school, and the first masonry and concrete structure house in Xinxiang Village will be the school.

Since getting the cement, Lei Wangcheng has taken his two sons to study the use of cement, and he has now proposed a plan to build a three-story bungalow using bamboo as a tendon, and has also drawn a design for the new school, making a model known as a "hot sample".

Although he is very sure that as long as he pays attention to maintenance, the three-story bungalow will last for decades without damage. However, out of prudence, Yu Guozhen decided to build only two layers, and only half of the third layer was built to act as a thermal insulation layer. Before mass production of the required steel bar, Yu Guozhen is not prepared to try a building with more than three floors, let alone take the risk of the school, which is a vital place for the future.

Before the establishment of the private school, more than a dozen children under the age of 12 in Xinxiang Village temporarily borrowed the big wooden house in the middle of the village to teach, and their teachers were Xiaolian and Jiang Youzhong.

"What happened to the children?" Yu Guozhen asked.

"I don't want to be in Xiang'an anymore, and I'm just as happy here." Xiaolian laughed softly: "Anyway, they eat well and sleep well, they are all strong and tight, they only have half a class every day, they get up in the morning and go to the side in the evening, and they will follow the family guard." ”

"That's good, when the new school is built, I can reopen for them, not only them, but also the family guard." Yu Guozhen said: "In addition to fighting, they always have to learn something, even if they don't fight in the future, they have a skill to be used in." ”

"The petty officials are thoughtful." Xiaolian said.

"On August 15, you took them to Qinzhou Mansion, which can be regarded as collecting style." Yu Guozhen said again.

Hearing this, Xiaolian's body stiffened for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "Dangerous? ”

"Don't worry." Yu Guozhen said.
