"Why do you want to call me my lord?" Feng Yao asked curiously. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Because if I could, I would be your subordinate, and then I would be able to earn a lot of money, and my father would never have to worry about money again! And my family won't be separated by that! The boy replied, a look of anticipation in his eyes.

Feng Yao's heart was sour, he couldn't bear to refuse the little boy's request, tried his best to make his expression look solemn, pretended to think for a while, then nodded, and said in a dignified tone: "You are so filial to your parents, and you will be a loyal subordinate in the future, so I decided to agree to your request!" ”

The little boy was overjoyed, immediately jumped up from the ground, and shouted excitedly at Feng Yao: "Lord! Lord! ”

The child's voice is crisp and sounds very pleasant.

Feng Yao had a smile on his face and announced to the people around him: "Cai Meng is not guilty!" ”

Cai Meng was overjoyed and immediately knelt down to thank him, but was quickly pulled up by Feng Yao.

In Feng Yao's opinion, these were just trivial matters, and they were originally here to help them, but so many things happened!

For Cai Meng's family, although Feng Yao couldn't say why, he always felt a little guilty, especially when Cai Meng's family was hit by life, he couldn't put on a lofty posture, so he pulled Cai Meng up and said: "There's nothing wrong with you, you don't have to be so polite!" ”

Seeing that things had a happy ending, the surrounding people all smiled, looked at Feng Yao with a look of awe, and soon dispersed and left under the persuasion of Yang Wu and others.

"Lord!"

At this time, Cai Meng's son walked up to Feng Yao, clenched his fists, his childish face showed a little expectation, and asked in a low voice: "Lord, can your subordinates advance some silver?" ”

"My lord doesn't know your name yet, how can I pay you? You know, you have to pay for food, but you have to come by name! Feng Yao smiled.

"The subordinate's surname is Cai, and the single name is a child's character!" When the little boy heard that he could be paid, his face was full of joy.

"Uncle, my surname is Cai, and my nickname is unintentional! I'm going to pay the money too! At this time, the little girl also ran in front of Feng Yao, learning her brother's words, her two big eyes were full of hope.

The childish behavior of the two children made everyone's faces smile, Feng Yao hurriedly took out two silver ingots that were both five taels in his arms, one for Cai Tong and one for Cai Wuyi, and said, "Okay, this is the silver issued to you!" ”

Cai Tong and Cai had no intention of being overjoyed, holding the heavy silver ingot, turned around and ran in front of Cai Meng and his wife.

"Dad, this is Tong'er's salary, Dad doesn't have to worry about life in the future!" Cai Tong said seriously.

Cai unintentionally held the silver nugget high, wanting to hand it over to her mother, and said crisply: "This is unintentional to honor my mother, put it away quickly, don't let the bad guys see it!" ”

Cai Meng and his wife were about to refuse Feng Yao's kindness, but Yang Wu stepped forward and persuaded: "This is my lord's kindness, accept it quickly!" ”

"The little one was cheeky enough to accept it, and thanked the envoy for the reward!" Cai Meng said.

Feng Yao asked, "Cai Meng, I listen to the meaning of your words, you also have a certain understanding of ships?" ”

"Back to the envoy, Xiaomin's parents once supported the boat to beg for a living, so Xiaomin also knows a little bit about it." Cai Mengdao.

"Alright then, you settle your family first, and then come over, I'm planning to buy a few boats, I think you can help me." Feng Yao suddenly had a very good idea.

Cai Meng immediately nodded, called his wife, and ordered him to lead Cai Tong, Cai had no intention of going to an inn next to him to stay at the hotel, don't walk around, and wait for him to come back and arrange the next step.

His wife left as ordered, and Cai Meng followed behind Feng Yao.

Under Zhang Liang's guidance, a group of people soon came to a bank of the Yingshui River, the atmosphere changed abruptly, this is an extremely quiet place, green willows reflect the river dam, several neat rows of blue brick houses are located on the bank, and farther away, rows of green trees isolate this place from the noisy street outside.

A bluestone-paved road, stretching forward from Feng Yao's feet, and finally leading straight to the river, is a stone wharf, about five zhang long, more than one zhang wide, and there are several warships parked on both sides of the wharf!

In the river far from the dock, there are also several identical warships, each with more than a dozen sailors, patrolling and training on the water.

"My lord, this is the naval dock built by his subordinates!" Zhang Liang bowed towards Feng Yao and hugged his fists.

"Well, yes, but there are too few barracks, and for a lake as big as Lake Joux, we should have more boats and more sailors!" Feng Yao nodded and said.

Xu Shu, Jian Yong, Man Chong, Cai Meng and others each looked around.

At this time, Xu Shu, who had been holding back without speaking, stepped forward, waved at Feng Yao, and asked, "My lord, there is something unknown to our subordinates, if we need ships, we can directly order craftsmen to build them, why do we want to buy those ships of different sizes?" ”

Jian Yong had been thinking about something along the way, and at this time he also stopped, revealing curious eyes, and full of favors, Yang Wu, all looked at Feng Yao puzzled, wanting to know why.

Feng Yao smiled and said, "Yuan Zhi, I'll explain it to you later." ”

Then Feng Yao turned around and asked Cai Meng, "How much silver can an ordinary ship buy?" ”

"Back to the envoy, you can take an ordinary boat of ten people, about twenty taels of silver!" Cai Mengdao.

Feng Yao nodded and whispered a few words to Yang Wu, Yang Wu quickly took out a large bag, put it in front of Cai Meng, nodded to Feng Yao, and retreated behind Feng Yao.

Cai Meng was a little stunned, not knowing what Feng Yao wanted to do, and wondered: "Envoy, what ......is this?" ”

"Hehe, Cai Meng, this is two hundred taels of silver, I want you to do one thing for me, with this silver, you go alone to buy ten boats, and send them to this dock, and I hope to see them early tomorrow morning!" Feng Yao said with a smile.

Cai Meng lifted the cloth bag in surprise, started heavily, and slightly loosened the cloth bag with a small opening, looked at it, his eyes suddenly widened, he inhaled a burst of cold air, his expression was excited, the cloth bag flashed with silver light, Cai Meng had never seen so much silver with his own eyes!

However, soon, Cai Meng calmed down, tied up the cloth bag, hugged his fist to Feng Yao and said: "Envoy, although Xiaomin is a commoner, but since he is entrusted by the envoy, Xiaomin will not let the envoy down!" Now it's nearly afternoon, Xiaomin will say goodbye, otherwise I am afraid that the purchase of the boat will not be completed on time! ”

Feng Yao nodded and ordered Cai Meng to go quickly.

After Cai Meng left with the money bag on his back, Yang Wu asked in surprise: "Lord, did you let Cai Meng go like that?" What if Cai Meng just took the money and never returned? ”

Feng Yao smiled and said, "Yang Wu, do you know why I said that the two hundred and ten taels of silver you prepared were two hundred taels?" ”

Yang Wu shook his head.

Feng Yao turned around and asked Xu Shu, "Yuan Zhi, didn't you just ask me why I wanted to buy a boat?" In fact, the answer is here! ”

Xu Shu's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said in surprise: "Could it be that the lord is trying to test Cai Meng's character?" ”

"Yes, that's why!! I think Cai Meng is quite business-minded, and the narrative is clear, he is a talent that can be created, and his current predicament is somewhat my responsibility, so I want to take this opportunity to use Cai Meng to let more civilians who have lost their land and are in a similar situation to him find a new job! Feng Yao said. (To be continued.) )
