Chapter 098 The counterattack begins

As soon as she heard Wang Qifang mention her eldest brother, Li Jingniang was silent.

To be honest, she has only admired one person since she was a child, and that is her brother Li Jingtian.

In Li Jingniang's mind, the eldest brother is invincible.

I think that at the beginning, when the eldest brother took over the Chivalry League, it was the eventful autumn of the Chivalry League, and the imperial court and some families with ulterior motives coveted the huge connections and countless martial talents of the Chivalry League, and sent people to infiltrate and corrupt the chivalrous of the Chivalry League and the principals of each rudder several times.

After the repeated bombardment of these people, their sugar-coated shells also really collected a small number of scum of the Chivalry League, relying on these scum, they assassinated, blackmailed high-ranking officials and wealthy households, and even bullied innocent civilians, so that the century-old reputation of the Chivalry League was almost ruined.

It was at the most critical moment of the Chivalry League that the eldest brother took charge of the Chivalry League, used thunderous means, attacked quickly, and killed those scum in the cloak of the Chivalry League one by one with an iron fist.

In just three years, the chivalrous league was reinvigorated and firmly controlled in the hands of the Li family, which made the court hate and fear, but did not dare to provoke and provoke on the surface, and the chivalrous league finally regained the glory and glory of Lord Li when he was alive.

It can be said that in Li Jingniang's eyes, my brother is simply as capable as the ancestor Lord Li, and what my brother thinks is right, it must be right.

Looking at Wang Qifang's determined demeanor, as if she did this, her brother must be very supportive when he knows it.

Er, wait, by the way, my brother didn't mention it in the letter several times, Mrs. Wang is a capable person, and she is also an ally of the Chivalrous League and the Li family.

Could it be that she so boldly acquired the Shi family's island because she was entrusted by her brother?

You must know that the real reason why my brother went to Liaodong a few days ago, Li Jingniang had already learned from my brother's flying pigeon biography.

Hmm, the island? A lonely island? An island with an area of more than 600 acres that can be farmed?

Oh, why didn't she think that this kind of place was simply an excellent base for accumulating strength.

Almost between the calcium carbide thunder and fire, several pictures have flashed in Li Jingniang's mind.

In the end, she seemed to have an epiphany suddenly, and her face couldn't help but show an expression of ecstasy, "Cousin, you said that my eldest brother knew that you were going to buy the island?" ”

"Eh, I don't know," Wang Qifang paused, was what she told Li Jingniang a question, why did she think Li Jingniang's eyes were so strange when she spoke?

She choked, and then said: "I just think that the advantages of buying this island outweigh the disadvantages, maybe Li Jingtian will agree if he knows about it." By the way, I'm going to inspect the ship tomorrow, and by the way, I'll go to the island to have a look, Jing Niang, if you're interested, you can go and see it together. ”

"Acceptance of ships?"

Thinking about it, Fang Caiguang remembered the big head, but ignored that Wang Qifang also used 4,000 taels of silver to buy a boat.

Four thousand taels?

Thinking of this number, Li Jingniang couldn't help but hold her forehead, and she asked a little puzzled, "Cousin, have you ever seen that boat?" What ship dares to ask for four thousand taels of silver? Could it be a ship made of gold? ”

Just kidding, the fleet she built before only cost six thousand taels of silver, but her fleet had a total of four boats, the largest one was about ten zhang long and four zhang wide, enough to lift eight sails.

"Naturally, I saw it, that boat was designed by Young Master Shi San and personally selected craftsmen, tsk, what a big boat," In fact, when Wang Qifang followed Shi San's grandmother to the beach to see the boat, she was also frightened, she didn't expect that the suspected crossing colleague was so powerful, and he could reduce the size of the treasure ship when Zheng He went to the West to make a big ship.

That ship, if measured by the standards of a previous life, is nothing. But nowadays, when the seafaring level is in a state of ignorance, it is definitely the most advanced, the largest, and the most complete ship.

“…… Sure enough, it's a big boat."

In the early morning of the next day, Li Jingniang followed Wang Qifang to the beach, and when she saw the big ship moored at sea from a distance, she couldn't help but admire, "Eh, cousin, how big is this ship?" ”

"Eighteen zhang long, six zhang eight wide, six masts and eight sails, can accommodate 800 people"

Wang Qifang turned her head slightly to look to the side, only to hear a strong man eight feet tall beside her say.

"Cousin, who is he? Is it your newly bought Kunlun slave? ”

He is a head taller than an ordinary Da Zhou man, with a slightly dark face and strong limbs, just like the legendary black slaves.

"Well, it was Grandma Shi San who transferred to me with the treasure ship Kunlun Nu, there are four of them, his name is Ah Da, and he once went to sea with Shi San Young Master."

Speaking of these Kunlun slaves, Wang Qifang's face was full of pride.

Hey, what do you really want, originally she went to the dock trade area, just to buy a few capable assistants, because considering that she was going to sea to find the island, she also thought that it was best to buy someone who knew how to sail and knew the nature of the water.

Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that Grandma Shi San was like timely rain, and she solved all her problems at one time, but she paid 20,000 taels of silver, and the island, treasure ship, and seafaring talents were all in place.

Tsk, that's lucky.

Therefore, when Li Jingniang complained that she shouldn't have given Grandma Shi San such silver, she was very disapproving.

Where are these things and talents not worth 20,000 taels? It's clearly a great value.

"Oh, have you ever been to sea with Third Young Master Shi? Then why didn't they go with them this time? ”

Li Jingniang thought of the rumored Third Young Master Shi who had lost his belly, and couldn't help but look at the three strong men behind him.

"They are the people who were specially left by Third Young Master Shi to maintain the island and supervise the shipbuilding, and there are also two professional helmsmen, who are also the talents specially prepared by Third Young Master Shi for this new ship."

Wang Qifang has already asked these questions.

Oh, it's a shame to say that the treasure ship and talent were all prepared by the crossing colleague, and they didn't have time to enjoy it, but she got it cheap.

Hearing this, Li Jingniang nodded, if these people are as capable as her cousin said, it would be cost-effective to spend four thousand taels to buy this boat and these people.

"Let's go, cousin, let's go to Qingzhou from the sea"

As he spoke, Ah Da had already docked the boat to the dock, Wang Qifang pulled Li Jingniang, and the two of them got on the boat carefully with the support of Ah Er and Ah San.

Standing on the spacious deck, looking at the wide sea in the distance, Wang Qifang felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

"This seascape is really magnificent," Li Jingniang carefully leaned on the fence, overlooking the endless sea, and couldn't help but sigh, "Cousin, when the formalities are completed, I will also go to your island to have a look." ”

"No problem, welcome"

For this request, Wang Qifang agreed without hesitation.

On the one hand, based on Li Jingniang's friendship with her, although the two have known each other for a short time, they have long been like sisters through more than 20 days of getting along;

On the other hand, she wanted to ask Li Jingniang to be a witness, after all, she easily thought of a way to bleach the food in the space, and naturally needed someone to be a witness.

Moreover, calculating the time, Wu Jiliang has already taken the bait, and Qingzhou and Haicheng are also waiting for her to transport a large number of large quantities of grain for a counterattack.

Wang Qifang's expectations were not bad at all, her side had just set sail, and the county town had also begun to act.

In the warehouse outside the county seat, there were mountains of sacks, and Wu Jiliang personally brought a few stewards to inspect the goods.

"Poof"

The sharpened bamboo pole was neatly inserted into a certain sack, Wu Jiliang held the bamboo pole and turned it vigorously, letting the bamboo pole stir it in the sack, and then pulled it out, twisted the rice grains on it, and nodded, "Well, yes, it is really this year's new grain." ”

On the other side, the six little stewards also carried a bamboo pole each, learning from Wu Jiliang's appearance, and inspecting the goods one by one.

Steward Zhou stood aside, seeing that they had examined carefully, and he was a little anxious.

Hey, according to their test, he's in trouble.

After thinking about it, Steward Zhou quietly came to one of the little stewards, and while no one was paying attention around, he stuffed a purse to the little steward, "Oh, little brother, do you think it can be tested faster, this ** thousand stone grain, if you go to test it one by one, when will it be tested?" ”

"This ......" the little steward pinched the hardness of the purse, and then nodded quietly, "Okay, then I'll test it quickly"

As he spoke, the hand holding the bamboo pole was conveniently roped, almost checking one package apart from two packs, and finally simply sampling it casually.

The other five little stewards, Steward Zhou also concocted the same method, and after a while, the six people were all bought by his red envelopes, and the speed of inspection was several times faster.

However, it doesn't seem to be very safe to do just that. Thinking of the owner's explanation before leaving, Steward Zhou called a young man, whispered a few words in his ear, and saw the young man nodding constantly, and then ran out of the warehouse quickly.

An hour later, there was a drum noise outside the warehouse: "Steward Zhou, Steward Zhou is here?" ”

"Who?" When Steward Zhou heard the movement, he frowned suspiciously, he ran to Wu Jiliang's side and said a few words, and then raised his feet and came outside.

After a while, I heard the voices of Steward Zhou and a young man.

“…… Liu Shaodong, this, these small grains have been sold to the boss of Wuda, and the people have already paid the deposit, and now they are inspecting the goods, if there is no problem, they will pay directly. “

"Oh, what are you afraid of, it's not that there is no deal yet. Yes, I don't want the ones in your house, I just want them in the yard. I know that what you sold to Wu Jiliang was 700 wen per stone, and I gave you 750 wen per stone, can it be done? ”

"This, this is not good, everyone has paid the deposit."

"Oh, Lao Zhou, why are you so brainless? What's wrong with paying the deposit, as long as the food is not taken away, it can still be discussed. Come, here's five hundred taels of silver, and I'll send someone to take away the food in your yard."

As he spoke, someone outside shouted to carry something.

As soon as Wu Jiliang heard it, he ran out with a bamboo pole, and saw that it was really the rabbit cub surnamed Liu, who was directing the men and family members to rush the food.

"Stop, damn it, these grains are all Lao Tzu's, come on, hurry up and move the grain to the carriage."
