Chapter Seventy-Eight
The meeting at sea was very pleasant, and Chen Hailong's confidant steward Chen Fu, accompanied by the fifth master, boarded the ship and met fifty Tartar captives. One look at the freshly shaved brain melon skin, coupled with a fluent Manchu mouth. Anyone can see that this is indeed a serious 800 Tartar soldiers.
"Young Master! Can't be wrong, if it's wrong, the old slave's eyeballs can be gouged out. It's worth it! "Chen Fu is the old man who followed Chen Liang back then, and he belongs to the wave of people who watched Chen Hailong grow up.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it! Liaodong is losing battles, and these guys actually won such a big battle. No wonder Lao Tzu has always seen magpies climbing the branches recently, so he was waiting here. When Chen Hailong heard Chen Fu's report, his heart suddenly became lively.
Now the court talks about the color change of the Tartars, and he has made this contribution. I will definitely be able to mix up a knighthood, and if I play up and down again, I may be able to make a marquis. Whose way can you turn to? In the imperial court, the Donglin Party and the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang are fighting fiercely, and they must find a reliable person.
"With this credit, young master, your title can't run away. Congratulations to the young master! Congratulations to the young master! Glory to the ancestors! Hehehe! Chen Fu arched his hands with a smile, looking like a big Fu.
"Uncle Fu, this matter is a secret. You take someone to Penglai to our small port to hand over, remember! All those who do things must be reliable people, and ten taels of silver per person afterwards. If you dare to leak it out, hehe! Don't blame me for Chen Hailong's lack of affection! ”
"Young master, don't worry! The small port of Penglai is a small port for our smuggled goods, and it is strictly guarded on weekdays. Idlers are not allowed to enter! The people there are all old people in the family, and there are old slaves who put a hundred hearts in you. Which monkey cub dared to chew his tongue, and the old slave tied him to a stone and sank into the sea. ”
"There's Uncle Lao Fu!" Chen Hailong rubbed his hands excitedly, now he was thinking about how to go to the capital to do something, it was best to be able to seal the marquis at once.
"No!" Chen Fu said yes and went out!
"Oh! That's right, Uncle Fu! The kid named Li Xiao is a character, and he has the face of the political envoy Shen. In Penglai, you should be entertained well. Seeing that he is not very old, Xiange also takes him everywhere. It not only gave face to the political envoy Shen, but also formed a good fate. God knows, there will be any good things to do with them in the future. Chen Hailong stopped Uncle Fu and solemnly commanded.
"The old slave knows that the young man likes to play in the mountains and rivers the most. You can rest assured, Daoist Zhang in the Immortal Pavilion is friends with the old slave. This matter is on the old slave. Make sure they eat, drink, and have fun! ”
"Go ahead!"
Chen Fu said yes and walked out of the door of the study.
At the time of the handover, Li Xiao was still worried that Chen Hailong would eat black. After all, this guy's foundation is not clean, and his father is a pirate.
However, everything proves that this is Li Xiao's overthinking. Although Chen Hailong's family was born as a pirate, it can be regarded as a bit of hooliganism. At the very least, it's credible when it comes to trading.
Ao Canghai took the boat back, and Li Xiao patted Li Xiu's shoulder. Li Xiu had been learning to steer a boat with Liu Lao Liu for a few months, and now he heard that his brother was going to give him a 2,000-material warship to practice, and his face was flushed with excitement.
"Sailing is not a joke, follow Liu Lao Liu to learn hard. We're still swinging off the coast, and the ship isn't too big, so it's easy to say. In the future, when the eldest brother is developed, he will get you a big ship, and our brothers will go to the ocean to play prestige. ”
"Got it, big brother, look at it! I promise to study hard with Uncle Liu! Li Xiu nodded seriously, he really likes sailing. Since the first time he followed Liu Laoliu to operate the boat, he has liked it.
"I still have something to do when I go to Penglai, you can go back! Take care of my younger siblings and I'll be back in a few days. Don't forget to let Liu Lao Liu pick it up! Li Xiao said goodbye to Ao Canghai and Li Xiu, and took the fifth master to follow Chen Fu's boat back to Penglai.
"I'm leaving, brother!" Li Xiu smiled at Li Xiao and swung the rope back to his boat.
Looking at the appearance of Li Xiudang's rope, Li Xiao nodded. It seems that he hasn't practiced in vain in the past few months, and looking at this kid's black face, you can know that he has suffered a lot.
"Everything! There are still some things that Li wants to trouble the old man. ”
"Oh! Brother Xiao said that it doesn't matter, as long as you can use the old decay, the decay will definitely help. The chubby Chen Fu smiled and saw his teeth and eyes, which was very festive.
"Yes, the island needs some manpower. So, I want to hire some in Shandong. Look at the things in this place, you ......! ”
"Oh! Well said, well said! Chen Fu smiled and took the gold coin handed over by Li Xiao. I checked it, one or two, and there were two or two. I didn't expect this kid to be so generous!
Li Xiao knows that big officials are good at seeing little ghosts. People like Chen Fu have a special status, and the local governors will give some face. If it is a matter of recruitment, it will be twice the result with half the effort with his help.
"This thing ......! How many people do you want? Chen Fu asked with a deep groan.
Such a thing as private recruitment can be big or small, and everyone may not be able to see it when the number of people is small. But you really want to recruit thousands of people, why are you! Are you going to rebel?
"Five or six hundred! You know, there's always a lot of damage to fighting the Tartars. If you don't replenish some manpower, it's difficult to protect yourself! Li Xiao said with a sad face.
"Oh! Five or six hundred! Don't worry, this matter is on the old man. Hearing that Li Xiao was only recruiting five or six hundred people, Chen Fu immediately put his heart in his stomach. Even if it is a rebellion, what can five or six hundred people do? Besides, if you fight with the Tartars in the future. Perhaps, this good business will continue.
"That's supervised by Lao Lao!" Li Xiao hurriedly gestured.
"It's okay! The face of the young master of my family, these prefectures and counties have to give some. Chen Fu beat his chest like King Kong, and Li Xiao was very worried that this old guy would shoot out his heart attack.
With the help of Chen Fu, a local snake, Li Xiao felt that his recruitment road would be smooth.
The place of handover is off the coast of Penglai, and the ship returned to Penglai after only half a day. For the sake of secrecy, the handover took place in the middle of the night. Back on Penglai Island, it was the beginning of the red sun.
Those captives and heads, naturally someone settled. Chen Fu arranged the matter, and took Li Xiao directly to the Three Immortals Mountain. With Chen Hailong's instructions, Chen Fu would naturally entertain this guest well.
At the foot of the mountain, Chen Fu took Li Xiao into a farmhouse yard. The yard is very clean, and on the south side of the yard is a thatched pavilion with wooden tables and chairs. The table was already full of waterways, and beside the table stood four delicate-looking girls.
I rub! Daming entertains and plays farmhouse?
