Although Beimao Town is not big, although the sparrows are small, they have a lot of various livelihoods. Peddlers, pawns, oil, salt and rice shops, most of them are food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the slightly high-tech ones are the private shipyards of the big boss Li Ping, as well as the secret gunpowder field.

From Wanshu's mouth, I learned that the so-called boat yard is just to build some small boats. There are only about 30 people in the entire shipyard, and Deng Haonan expects that they will not be able to build a big ship. As for the powder field, there were too few personnel, and it was basically abandoned for a long time. Because the Ming Dynasty was very strict in the control of gunpowder, all those who could make gunpowder were arrested into the military ordnance bureau and the military war bureau, so that there were very few "weapon experts" in the world. At the same time, the control of gunpowder is strict, and it is difficult for the people to obtain gunpowder materials.

Li Ping is the most powerful person in Bei Zhen Town, and he is also the biggest pirate, and the entire Bei Zhen Town is the first to look forward. However, Li Ping is only a small character, and his pirate ships and merchant ships can only be the bottom when they go outside. The larger group of pirate merchants is the Twenty-Eight Brothers Alliance, the boss Yan Siqi, and below there are twenty-eight pirates such as Zheng Zhilong of Beigang, Yang Tiansheng of Jinjiang, Chen Xinji of Haicheng, and Li Zhiqi of Penghu. At least, they also have more than a dozen warships and dozens of merchant ships, and Li Ping, the big boss of Beizhu Town, only has a medium-sized warship and a few small merchant ships.

These armed sea merchants are tightly organized, and the pirates have strict hierarchical positions such as staff officers, chief soldiers, supervisors and guards, and left and right strategists, which are actually military groups in disguise, but they dare not openly confront the imperial court, but in private, the major merchant gangs have already bought off the local government, and the officials * businessmen * collude * .

Deng Haonan has the heart to display his ambitions, and he thinks that his skills in artillery will definitely become their sweetheart. It's just that at the moment, I am alone, and I work in the Imperial Court Ordnance Bureau, and I have no money to dredge. If you want to get to the private workshops of those sea merchants, there is no way, let alone a way.

Deng Haonan let out a long sigh, it was the dragon that had to be coiled first, so he had to decide to go to Li Ping's workshop to have a look, and he had to gain a foothold first.

※※※

A plate of radish pickles, two bowls of light gruel, you can almost count how many grains of rice, and four black nests are Deng Haonan's first meal after being reborn.

The head of the nest was very hard, Deng Haonan took a bite, and almost didn't put his teeth down.

Wanshu hurriedly said: "Husband, this nest has to be soaked in porridge before it can be eaten!" ”

In summer, I am afraid that the nest head will not be able to hold it, so it is done and then dried, so that it will not be moldy and rotten, so it is hard like a stone.

Seeing Wanshu eating with relish, Deng Haonan had no appetite at all, but his stomach was empty, so he had to grit his teeth and eat a nest head. At the same time, he secretly made up his mind that he would do his best to live a good life, because at this time he was no longer alone, but dragged his family, and Wanshu, a virtuous wife, needed his love and care.

After the meal, Deng Haonan and Wanshu saw Deng's mother together. At this time, Deng's mother was already better, she was just sick with her heart, and since her son was resurrected, her condition improved very quickly.

After Wanshu served Deng's mother and fell asleep again, Deng Haonan said that he would go out for a walk and find a job by the way.

Wanshu is careful and understands that her man can't put up with her as a woman to support her family. It's just that Deng Haonan doesn't want to do other work, and he wants to go to the shipyard or gunpowder yard. She didn't know that Deng Haonan actually didn't know anything except how to cast cannons and make gunpowder. It's just that Li Ping's workshop has a very high threshold, and there is no silver to pay for, so he doesn't want to go in to work.

"What? Do you have to use ten taels of silver to dot it? Deng Haonan was stunned. Oh, my God! If the ten taels of silver were before, the Deng family still had a little bit of it at that time, and they could have taken it out. At this time, the family is surrounded by four walls, Wanshu's hands are full of more than a dozen coins, and now the silver is expensive, and one or two pieces of silver can be exchanged for huàn1400 copper coins, Deng Haonan was dumbfounded.

Is a penny a hero! The ancients did not deceive me!

"Is there no other way?" Deng Haonan asked nervously. If he couldn't enter Li Ping's gunpowder workshop, Deng Haonan really didn't know how to survive in this era!

Seeing her husband's nervous appearance, Wanshu asked softly, "Does your husband really want to work there?" What she actually wanted to ask was, why did she suddenly have to get the gunpowder when she used to be a good boatman? It's just that as a wife, she can't directly ask her husband about his decision, so she can only follow her husband's will.

Deng Haonan seemed to see Wanshu's doubts, and immediately said: "On the way to the underworld, my memory was a little damaged, and the judge knew that he had arrested the wrong person, so he taught me the techniques of casting cannons and making gunpowder to compensate me!" ”

I see! Wanshu was very happy to see that her husband could have a skill. There was still a worry that he would not do well there, but now it has been swept away.

Wanshu thought for a while and said, "Since the husband is sure to do a good job, I heard that the big boss hires craftsmen to make gunpowder with a high salary, but there is no such talent within a hundred miles. Since the husband has this ambition, then Wanshu will find a way to help the husband raise some silver taels! ”

Deng Haonan looked at Wanshu differently, and said in his heart: Is there a way for this little girl? immediately smiled bitterly: "Wanshu, you have already taken away all the valuable things in our family, where is it?" ”

Wanshu gently hugged Deng Haonan, and said after a while: "If Wanshu goes to a big family to be a servant, she can also receive twenty taels of wages a year, discuss with the old ladies and ask them to advance half a year's salary, so that the husband can go to work!" ”

What the? Going to work as a servant in a big family? Deng Haonan immediately vetoed Wanshu's idea.

"What's that?" Deng Haonan has no power, no money, and no power at this time, and his wife is not bullied when he is put in a big family's house! Especially at the moment, Wanshu is the "little dragon girl" in Beiyu Town, and there are not a few people who beat her idea, how can Deng Haonan send her into the tiger's mouth?

Deng Haonan's direct opposition made Wanshu feel a little happy in her heart. However, on second thought, if you don't go to work, how can you get money to do it? Wanshu knew what Deng Haonan was worried about, and looked at Deng Haonan affectionately at the moment, and said: "Don't worry, husband, Wanshu knows how to defend herself, and she has also learned kung fu with her father for a few days before!" ”

Hi! The little girl still has a shallow understanding of society, and she doesn't know how complicated it is outside! Gently stroking her hair, Deng Haonan sighed: "Do you think you can do two or three cat kung fu?" You must know that people outside are not like you, they write everything on their faces! They're all smiling! As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, you are so simple, they can hurt you with an excuse! ”

Then, Deng Haonan listed the modus operandi of some hooligans and ruffians in later generations one by one, such as finding a nursery to drug her, blowing incense and other usual tricks that scared Wanshu's little face pale. said nervously: "Husband, don't laugh and scare the concubine!" ”

Deng Haonan said seriously: "Do you think your husband is joking? ”

Wow, Wan Shuden threw herself into Deng Haonan's arms and cried. "The concubine is really useless, not only can't help the husband solve his worries, but also tired the husband to worry about the concubine!"

Then, I saw Wanshu looking at Deng Haonan with teary eyes, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and said: "It's the face of the concubine that causes trouble, and the concubine destroys it!" I just ask my husband not to dislike the ugliness of the concubine in the future! ”

Yes! Deng Haonan exclaimed in surprise, looking at Wanshu with an incredible face, this girl who was only thirteen years old was able to say this, which shocked Deng Haonan!

"What nonsense?" Deng Haonan took her into his arms, snapped, slapped Wanshu's buttocks, and then said unhappily: "Don't talk like this in the future, do you know?" What you just said made my husband very sad! ”

Deng Haonan shot just right, so that Wanshu felt his anger and his strong love, immediately blushed her cheeks, buried her head in Deng Haonan's chest, and begged for mercy: "The concubine knows that it is wrong!" The concubine doesn't dare anymore! ”

Deng Haonan said affectionately: "Wanshu, you remember!" My husband doesn't allow you to go out on adventures anymore, and my husband promises you that we will get better and better! ”

Feeling her husband's strong love, as well as the big hands caressing her buttocks, Wanshu was ashamed, and couldn't help but send a fragrant kiss, "The concubine believes her husband's words!" ”

After a round of hot kisses, Deng Haonan let go of the coquettish Wanshu and said, "I'll go out for a walk!" You might even find a job that suits you! ”

Wanshu was paralyzed by Deng Haonan's kiss, and handed him five cents at the moment, Deng Haonan didn't want it, Wanshu said: "Husband is tired of walking outside, so I can eat something to make up for it!" ”

Deng Haonan knew in his heart that it must have been Wanshu who saw that she hadn't eaten well just now, so she wanted to let herself go outside to eat some delicious food. Such a virtuous and gentle person, you can't find it with a lantern! What a wife! Deng Haonan was happy in his heart, and his love for Wanshu was no longer only pity, but more love between men and women.

At that moment, he accepted the five cents that Wanshu gave him, and after saving it with her for a while, he pushed the door out.

went on the street, but saw many people watching not far from the door, and after seeing Deng Haonan come out, he first retreated in fear, presumably knowing the news of Deng Haonan's resurrection. Then after determining whether Deng Haonan was a human or a ghost, he dispersed.

When Deng Haonan walked around the corner, he glanced back at the door, but when he saw Wanshu waving at him at the door, she had been silently watching herself from behind, Deng Haonan felt extremely happy in his heart, and waved at Wanshu.

It wasn't until Deng Haonan disappeared from her sight that Wan Shu went back, and then closed the door.

※※※

Walking on the street, Deng Haonan felt the ancient town style for the first time. Although the road made of bluestone is not wide, there are constant shouts on both sides, which seems to be a bit prosperous.

However, this kind of prosperity is different from later generations, it is entirely because of the sea trade and the sale of stolen goods after the sea plunder, at this time, a small Beitan town can see people selling foreigners' clocks and jewelry, which shows its origin.

I subconsciously looked at my wrist, but unfortunately there was no watch on it.

Deng Haonan smiled bitterly, knowing that he would have to stay in this troubled world in the future, no electricity, no bikini, no Internet era, God knows how to live. However, fortunately, Judge Zhang kept the memories of his previous life for him, so that he could continue the crazy artillery experiments.

Thinking that this era was the era when the world's naval powers were separating their dominance, they just echoed his request to realize his dream of giant ships and artillery.

While admiring the ancient customs, he saw if there was a suitable job for him, but to his disappointment, he didn't see any recruits after wandering around for a long time.

Yes! It's rare to hire workers here, because it's clearly a bandit's den?

Deng Haonan smiled bitterly, inquired about the way to Li Ping's house along the way, and walked straight towards his house.

※※※

Outside the gate of the Li Mansion, Deng Haonan was set up by Li Ping's two family members. With a plop, Deng Haonan was thrown to the bluestone ground outside the mansion.

"I said the surname Deng!" One of the family members said to Deng Haonan with a disdainful face: "You don't pee and take care of yourself!" Just you, a poor ghost, dare to enter our Li Mansion, and dare to say that you are not ashamed to see the big boss, you have eaten the heart of a bear and a leopard, don't die! ”

Another said, "When he first went in, I thought he had seen a ghost!" I didn't expect this kid to have a big life and come back to life! ”

It turned out that Deng Haonan came to the door of the Li Mansion and didn't know the rules of this era, so he walked in directly from the main gate. The two family members at the door saw that it was Deng Haonan and thought they had seen a ghost, so they didn't dare to stop it at that time. However, I soon came back to my senses, where are the ghosts in broad daylight?

When Deng Haonan was happy that no one was stopping him, the two family members crossed him left and right, and then threw him outside the house.

Deng Haonan was very hurt at this time, especially his buttocks, as if he had been broken in half. Secret Dao: Ya, two doglegs, one day they will be doubled! After a few moments, he stood up as if nothing had happened, and said, "I'm here to apply for a gunpowder master!" ”

"Gunpowder?" When he heard that he was here to apply for a gunpowder master, and he died once, Deng Haonan suddenly laughed for a while. I saw that his eyes turned cold, and he said angrily: "I'm cǎo! You're an idiot! There are only a thousand people in Beitan Town, and Lao Tzu knows it with his eyes closed! Do you dare to be confused? ”

said that it was too late, it was fast, and I saw that the fierce family immediately kicked Deng Haonan's ass, Deng Haonan saw that he looked ruthless, and he didn't expect it to be good. Deng Haonan was annoyed that he had fallen himself just now, grabbed his foot at the moment, and immediately threw him to the ground.

Oops screamed, the buttocks hit the ground first, and suddenly felt the taste of falling Deng Haonan just now, and the buttocks seemed to be cracked.

"Boy! Do you dare to yin me? ”
