Huang Yi sat in the master seat of the lobby hall with some distress, although he usurped the Huang family's foundation step by step as he wished, but now what was in front of him was a mess. biquge.info Not to mention anything else, due to the large number of plundering populations in the Ming and Zheng dynasties, a large area of land was abandoned, and the land of the Huang family was naturally no exception. If there is nothing to produce in the field, then you can only rely on silver to buy food and come back, but in this way, it is one thing to sit and eat empty, and it is another thing to have high prices and money to buy things.
"Dad, I went to ask, the Qin Mansion, the Yu Mansion, the Gu family, the Ma family, etc. have no food, and they are jointly petitioning Master Huang." Huang Baoren sat opposite his father like a dog, but unfortunately, although he claimed to be the son-in-law of the Huang family, he knew that none of the families in the city looked at him seriously, which made him furious but helpless, so he had to spend a small amount of money to buy some gossip from the servants of various families to perfunctory his father. "Shall we also go and ask for it?"
"With a few of them coming forward, let's not come out." Huang Yi narrowed his eyes, as if he was a little burdened. "The Zheng family is very calculating, so if we don't want to starve to death, we have to obediently take out the hidden silver to buy high-priced rice and noodles." Huang Yi saw it clearly, but unfortunately he couldn't change anything. "Sue Huang Wu and a few of them, plow the flowers and plants in the back garden, and then let's grow our own vegetables, as for meat, I have to tell the big guy to bear with it." Speaking of this, Huang Yi looked at his son. "You went to ask the third aunt for some consideration, and said that you were going to buy rice and grain."
Huang Bao was stunned for a moment and subconsciously responded: "Dad, these are her private money, is she willing to take them out?" ”
"What if you don't want to? Give her one less bowl to eat? Huang Yi said coldly. You told her that one day husband and wife are one hundred days, I believe she will be willing, if she is really unwilling, the second aunt is a lesson for her. ”
Thinking of the second aunt who was starved to death after seeing through the evil plot of the Huang family's father and son, Huang Bao was full of excitement: "Dad, don't say it, it's panicked, and when the imperial army turns around, it is better to invite two more monks to chant the mantra and overspend it." ”
"What are you afraid of, the living are not afraid, are ghosts more terrible than the living?"
At the end of June, the Tian Chao Department and the fleet that would be raised by the body finally arrived at the delta of the Capuas River, which is full of swamps, under the guidance of the natives. However, in view of the bad situation on land, Tian Chao and the others did not immediately let the fleet return to the sea, and a group of officers and soldiers and the people of the cantonment first set fire to the wasteland, but the fire was easily extinguished by the pouring rain, so it took Tian Chao and them ten days to barely clear out a roughly square open space with a length and width of two miles.
After the preliminary cleaning of the land, Tian Chao sent the only few cows and horses to plow the ground, but the heavy rain and the stagnant water brought by the heavy rain often made the action impossible, so Tian Chao had to dig the drainage ditch while constructing, and finally ploughed the ground and sprinkled lime all over to kill insects (eggs), at this time more than half of the people fell ill.
But the difficulties faced by Tian Chao are not worth these, the biggest problem of the impact on the plain is the lack of qualified building materials, there is not enough wood, it is impossible to build a house for the people and soldiers to live in, fortunately, Tian Chao also deliberately brought a part of the cement that was not used in the battle of Qiongzhou, so he reluctantly built a longhouse around the wall, and moved the people and materials on the ship.
"Governor Tiandu, the fleet has been going to sea for a long time, and since the headquarters of the adults has gone ashore, then the headquarters will not stay for a long time." Although July was already the windy season, the route along the Boni, Palawan, and Luzon islands to Fengshan and Pingtung was not very dangerous because of its proximity to the coastline, so the commanders who were in a hurry to return were like arrows. "If there is anything that needs to be handed over or forwarded, Zhongwu can open his mouth." Although Tian Chao was similar this time, who made him Ma Ying's favorite general, the attitude of the sailors towards him was naturally very different from that of Chen Long, the general. "If you have any requests, you can also ask for them, and the official will try to agree to them."
"Xibo mud miasma, medicine is the most important." Although there were two doctors in the army and a lot of medicinal herbs, Tian Chao was afraid that it would not be enough, so as soon as he heard the other party's good words, he immediately made a request. "Please also leave some more medicinal herbs for your lordship." The commander nodded, so Tian Chao continued to ask. "Boats, the lower officials still want ships, if it is inconvenient for the Fu ship and the Guang ship to stay, then at least a few ships, a boat and a number of manpower should be left."
The commander frowned slightly, he thought that Tian Chao wanted a boat to leave a way back when he had to do so, so he finally agreed: "This official can give Zhongwu a few boats, but the sailor needs Zhongwu to persuade himself." ”
Tian Chao knew that the other party was already very face-saving, so he hurriedly thanked him: "It's so laborious."
"There's a big deal, I don't know if it's tempting." When Tian Chao was exploring the West Bo Mud, Sun Fei was discussing with Cai Tong, who had been promoted to the governor of Jinlan. "This time I went to Beihe, and I asked for 500 bird guns and a pair of lead and gunpowder, but I didn't pay the bill in cash, and I was going to pay the bill with 3,000 young women, you see this deal?"
"We have gained a lot in Qiongzhou, but we can't use it, and it's a good deal to exchange things that we can't use for women that Dongning lacks." Cai Tong's governor is not as big as Tian Chao's fake governor from Liupin, although the official rank and status are a few points higher, but he is at the intersection of the interests of Quang Nam, Siam, Chenla and other countries in the Indochina Peninsula, but he does not have as much freedom as Tian Chao, so he has to look ahead and look backward in everything. "When does the other party want the goods?"
"Urgent," this is why Sun Fei is willing to win the list. "It's going to be delivered in a month."
"In such a hurry?" Cai Tong couldn't help but put a question mark in his mind. "Could it be that the other party is ready to swallow us in one bite?"
Sun Fei gasped, this possibility is not impossible, after all, there are three thousand young women, although there are many men and girls in Beihe, such a huge number is difficult for the other party to get hold of for a while: "Damn, I'm afraid it's really possible." ”
"Don't be afraid," Cai Tong thought about it, this deal still has to be done. "You go to Beihe again at once, and tell them that things are ready, but it is too remarkable to transport them in this way, so that the two sides trade at sea, and people and goods are traded on the spot."
"What do you mean?" Sun Fei raised his eyebrows. "Mobilize the dog-fighting team to escort it? But now it's the wind season, in case there is any loss because of this, how can you and I explain to the above? ”
"Don't worry, the dog-fighting team has been trained in the whale hunting camp, and the stormy waves are not less, and they are sailing close to the coastline, so it may not be difficult for them to be caught in the wind and waves." Cai Tong is full of confidence. "And if you don't need to fight the dog team's notification ship, how can you have time to transfer the fire gun from Qiongzhou?"
"That's just as well." Sun Fei nodded, but still hesitated. "But the sea trade, the ships that transport people are also indispensable, the fleet of Qiongzhou has returned to Dongning to avoid the wind and waves, where is there enough ships to transport these women, it is not necessarily directly arranged on the ship of the dog team, what if?"
"Of course it can't be arranged on a dog-fighting ship." Cai Tong rubbed his eyebrows, if the other party's purpose was to lead out the dog fighting team and then seize the boat, wouldn't it be self-defeating, but the problem had to be solved after all, so Cai Tong came up with an idea. "I remember you said before that there is a fleet of ships sheltering from the storm in Hoi An, can you requisition it?"
"Although the dog fighting team is not something you and I can assign, but after all, they are all members of the Military Academy, and they may still have the affection to mobilize, but the ship that sheltered them from the wind is either from the manager of Anping, or directly under the Salt and Iron Division, so they are coldly asked to leave the goods behind and obey orders?" Sun Fei said hesitantly. "Is this possible?"
"If you can't be transferred in the name of the Ministry of Duties and the Department of Commerce, you can use the name of my Governor of Cam Ranh." Cai Tong gritted his teeth and bet on his future from Wupin. "If they dare to mess up the business, I will go back to Dongning to fight a lawsuit with them."
"Since you are free, then I will accompany you to the end." Sun Fei was shocked by Cai Tong's determination and immediately expressed his position. "If the Salt and Iron Division doesn't cooperate, we will blame our Commerce Department for not giving them face in the future."
"Mr. left his last words before he died, regretting that he missed the messenger of Dongning." Lu Xuefang, the secretary of the department, reported softly. "Therefore, his son Huang Baigu said that when the three-year filial piety period expires, he will follow Mr. Partridge to come to Dongning." Zheng Kezhang did have some regrets about Huang Zongyan's death, but he was more concerned about Huang Zongxi, and Lu Xuefang, who had insight into Zheng Kezang's psychology, explained. "Mr. Taichong originally wanted to come to Dongning, but unfortunately he was hindered."
The people who hindered Huang Zongxi from going south to Taiwan were not all traitors who sincerely defected to the Qing court, many of them were really worried about Huang Zongxi's body, and some people were worried about the safety of Huang Baijia in Beijing, but Rao was so, the news still reached the ears of the Qing court through some people who recognized the thief as their father, and for a time the monitoring of the Huang family in Zhejiang was tightened again, so there was no way for the staff to invite this great master to Dongning safely.
"Traitors and lackeys are very hateful." Dropping such a sentence, Zheng Kezhang closed his eyes, Lu Xuefang was at a loss, and saw Zheng Kezang say quietly. "Is the Qing Dynasty in Zhejiang Province too idle, is there any good construction department to report to the Military Academy?" Lu Xuefang was stunned for a moment, and then understood, but before he could speak, Zheng Kezhang said again. "The Qing court occupies the mainland, and its national strength is hundredfold, thousandfold and me, in the past, Zhuge Wuhou knew that he could not do it, what is the reason for the five out of Qishan."
"I understand." Lu Xuefang couldn't let Zheng Kezhang say any more. Only a sustained assault could interrupt the Qing court's recuperation. The minister immediately declared the Lord's will to the Lord to the Lord Lord. ”
"It's good to understand," Zheng Kezhang opened his eyes. "The cost of this domain is small, and once it is damaged, it is difficult to turn it over, so the responsibility of the staff department is the heaviest, and you must do it yourself."
The sweat on Lu Xuefang's head couldn't help but come down, and then thinking about Ying Tainong, who had returned from the Department of International Trade and Trade, was still staring at his position, the intelligence chief said for the first time: "The minister understands?"
