Chapter 495: A natural disaster is coming

A sesame petty official in the south of the Yangtze River recently walked the peach blossom luck, and by chance he visited the Qinglou, and he was possessed by the European emperor and hugged the beauty!

This sesame petty official has an average income, and his wife died early, because he has no money, and he can't afford to continue the strings, let alone take a concubine. But as a man, you can't languish just because you don't have money.

Therefore, in addition to dating the five girls, he saves a little money every once in a while, and he will also go to the local Goolan Qinglou for a walk, of course, he is looking for girls from the fourth and fifth lines.

During this time, the imperial court paid more attention to the work of their department, and the bonuses were more than usual, and he happily walked to the Qinglou, hoping to touch the second and third lines. Men, you have to be a little self-motivated, don't you?

The sesame junior official is also a frequent visitor to the Qinglou, and when his mother heard that he was going to upgrade his consumption, she enthusiastically brought out the second- and third-tier girls for him to choose.

At this moment, Qin'er, the new red-card girl in the building, came downstairs to walk around, and suddenly saw the sesame officer, and was stunned, and then grabbed his arm, tears rained down, and he must entertain him in person.

Mom was taken aback, this Qin'er had just jumped to her building, and she was planning to train hard and earn more money, why did she fall in love with this sesame petty official who usually doesn't eat fine chaff?

The sesame petty official was also stunned, but Qin'er was willing to lower her price and receive him, and her mother was helpless, so she had to push the boat down the river and make a discount.

That night, the sesame petty official reached the pinnacle of his life several times, feeling that he had lived in vain for thirty years, and the next morning, he was naturally reluctant.

Qin'er cried and complained that her family was poor, so she was sold into the Qinglou at the age of twelve, and she had a childhood sweetheart boyfriend at that time, who chased the trafficker's car all the way, and finally died of exhaustion and vomiting blood.

When I saw this sesame junior official today, she looked exactly like her boyfriend, and even her voice was so similar, she felt that this was a marriage arranged by God.

For this reason, Qin'er insisted on letting the sesame junior official redeem himself, of course the sesame junior official couldn't ask for it, but he was shy in his pocket, and he had emptied his savings in and out of his body last night.

Qin'er took out her treasure chest without hesitation, and pulled the sesame officer to find her mother to redeem herself.

Seeing that Qin'er had made up her mind, and the current Department of Education had basic protection for the rights of Qinglou practitioners, she charged a little more money and fulfilled this good story.

All of a sudden, many men ran to the Qinglou when they were fine, and they didn't spend money to find girls, just to increase the chance of appearing at the door.

"Miss Rui'er, do you think I look like your original childhood sweetheart?"

"I think you look like my original green-haired stallion!"

"Miss Bailing, I remember that your family used to be fishing, and I was also fishing, maybe we knew each other before, can you think about it?"

"My family is fishing in the sea, and you are touching loaches in the small river ditch, no matter how much I think about it, it's useless!"

"Mom, I heard that you also had an unforgettable lover before you became a mother, you see me ......"

"I was castrated by my mother back then, why don't you take off your pants and let everyone check it?"

In short, this kind of lottery winning has not happened again, and people can only envy the sesame petty official who took shit luck.

After Miss Qin'er became the wife of the petty official, she was not only gentle and virtuous, but also hardworking and considerate, and worked tirelessly to deliver soup to the sesame petty official at night.

When the colleagues of the sesame petty official saw that it was Miss Qin'er, they all squeezed their eyebrows and avoided it, so that the young couple of them had a chance to be able to talk to me.

The sesame officer drank the soup, sighed with the favor of God, and gave himself such a good lady, drinking and drinking, he felt dizzy and tilted his head to fall asleep.

Miss Qin'er looked left and right, and the other guards guarding the library had all hidden, she sneered, and took out the fire fold from her belly pocket.

This is a warehouse land, and outsiders will never be able to enter, let alone carry a fire fold. But this sesame junior official happens to be in charge of this warehouse.

His subordinates and colleagues all know about his experience, so they naturally will not prevent his family from delivering food, let alone carefully search his mother-in-law, otherwise he will inevitably be suspected of delicious dumplings.

Qin'er took out the fire fold, shook it in the wind, and the flame ignited, and then she ran to the straw fence that was easiest to light in the granary.

With a flash of the sword, the fire breaker was shot down from the sky, and a black shadow stepped on the fire breaker, extinguishing the flames.

Qin'er was frightened, turned around and fled, and the people behind him chased after him with their swords, shouting while chasing, and the officers and soldiers guarding the warehouse outside immediately surrounded him.

Qin'er was quite skillful, drilled back and forth, and almost escaped several times, but the man who pursued with the sword always bit tightly, and finally caught him under the encirclement of officers and soldiers.

Qin'er gritted her teeth and looked at the young Taoist in front of her: "How do you know that I am here to burn the granary?" ”

The young Taoist smiled: "I don't know. I was ordered by the Dolu Division. At least one Wudang disciple, Jinyi Wei or Shaolin monk patrols the important granaries all over the country.

If the White Lotus Sect led people to attack, it was a matter for the local army. If you use your kind of meticulous means, then it is up to us to check and fill in the gaps. ”

Offensive and defensive things like this are happening in granaries all over the country. Although the imperial court was full of talents and deployed everywhere, there were no choice but to have large and small granaries, which were distributed all over the country.

Moreover, the White Lotus Sect is the attacker, and the imperial court is the defender, so in terms of mobility, it is naturally the White Lotus Sect that takes advantage. In the months after the Chinese New Year, the big granaries were basically solid, but the small granaries in various places were also burned down from time to time.

But even if the White Lotus Sect succeeded in burning down the granary, it could only be regarded as a pyrrhic victory. Because most of the people they sent to burn the granary could not escape with their whole body.

It can be seen that in this battle of the Great Famine, Xiao Qin is to grasp the time and fight to the death at any cost, and she is bound to succeed in one fell swoop.

In the cave of Gu God Mountain, the high priest and the third aunt sat together, she held Qinggu with her left hand, Bai Gu with her right hand, and the one sitting opposite her gradually pulled Qinggu and Baigu with both hands, and the four of them shook hands and formed a ring.

The cultivation has been completed for three hundred and twenty-seven days. The High Priest roared, and the Gu worms in the cave flew around, causing her entire body to glow blue.

The Qinggu she was holding in her left hand let out a terrible scream, and then the whole person seemed to be drained of qi and blood, and instantly aged and shriveled.

The Gu worms in her body felt the threat of death, and frantically repulsed, turning her into a dry bone in a moment, fortunately she didn't feel the pain anymore.

Bai Gu, who was opposite her, closed her eyes tightly, as if she didn't realize it. Gradually, he opened his eyes, glanced at the high priest, smiled, and closed his eyes again.

The High Priest could feel a force that had never been surging in his body, and the Gu worms in the entire Gu God Mountain also seemed to sense some divine power, flying and rushing, and the mountain was full of panicked beasts.

Xiao Qin, who was standing at the door of the cave, looked up at the noise on the mountain, and her eyes flashed with ecstasy.

"Gu God Triple Heaven, it seems that the legend is not fake, there are still six or nine numbers, good, very good!"

In the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion, the painting girl walked into Wang Cuiqiao's room with a smile, looked at Wang Cuiqiao who was in doubt, and bowed to her.

"Sister Wang, I've heard of your name for a long time, and I finally saw it today, and my sister is polite."

Wang Cuiqiao knew the identity of the painting girl, and quickly stood up: "The fourth lady is serious, you are the governor's concubine, I am just a shipowner's woman, I should give you a salute." ”

The painting girl hurriedly held her down: "Don't you dare to say that." When my sister moved to Jiangnan, I had just entered the industry. Our mother, Yan Niang, admires her sister very much.

When I was beaten at the beginning, what I talked about was that if I eat, eat, eat, eat, and be lazy, I don't study, I don't practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I can only serve the nouveau riche for the rest of my life.

Look at Wang Cuiqiao in Jiangnan, her breasts are not as big as yours, her ass is not as big as yours, and her face is not better than yours, but you can't learn the style of a young lady in your life! ”

Wang Cuiqiao smiled bitterly and patted the painting girl's hand, and said in her heart, Are you praising me, or praising yourself for being handsome and good-looking?

"Sister, you and I are both good people, so there is no need to talk about the previous generation. Women, you have to be better than whom. Your life is better than mine. ”

The painting girl grinned: "That's not necessarily, Captain Xu will be the general of the sea patrol soon, sister, you will be the general's wife in the future, very majestic!" ”

Wang Cuiqiao was surprised and delighted, and the painting girl fiddled with her to change into new clothes, and led her to the governor's hall. Xu Wei happened to also walk in with Xu Hai, who was dressed in a general's uniform.

The two of them parted in life and death, although it was only a short month, but it was like three autumns, if it weren't for the presence of the painting girl and Xu Wei, they would really have to hug their heads and cry.

Hu Zongxian walked out of the back hall in an official robe, his face was slightly embarrassed, but when he saw Xu Hai, he immediately became majestic and amiable, and hugged his fists at the two.

"Ship Master Xu, Luo Wenlong rebelled, and the crime was extremely heinous. He is cunning and insidious, trying to shift the blame to the owner of the Xu ship, in order to get away with it.

Because the charges were so great, the Governor had to be cautious and carefully screened. Fortunately, relying on Banzai Fuze, the governor finally found out the truth and returned the innocence of the owner of Xu.

The governor has reported the matter of the Xu ship's sincere return to the imperial court, and now the holy decree has been issued, and the Xu shipowner has been named the general of the Sanpin patrol from the previous crime.

Mrs. Wang Cuiqiao, who understands the righteousness and has contributed a lot in the matter of surrendering to sincerity, the proposal of Lord Xiao Feng, the second assistant of the cabinet, was approved and named the lady of the three products! ”

Xu Hai and Wang Cuiqiao both knelt down to receive the order of thanks, so excited that they were speechless.

In fact, Xu Hai's official position is from Sanpin, which is one level lower than Wang Zhi's Zhengsanpin General Zhenhai, and his promise to surrender him is discounted.

If it had been placed in the past, Xu Hai might still be a little uncomfortable in his heart. But now his heart is full of happiness and joy, and there is no negative emotion at all.

This is the essence of happiness. A person's happiness does not depend on what you get, but on the difference between your hopes and what you get.

Xu Hai's expectations when he surrendered were not lower than Wang Zhi, if he was directly sealed from the third grade, he might be very unhappy.

After Xu Hai was imprisoned, his expectation was to survive, keep his wife, not cuckold, and not be a son to his son.

So now that his harvest is as high as heaven as he expects, what reason does he have to be unhappy and unhappy?

That night, Hu Zongxian held a banquet to celebrate Xu Hai and Wang Cuiqiao's promotion. The painting girl and the rouge leopard accompany Wang Cuiqiao, and Yu Dayou and Xu Wei accompany Xu Hai.

Yu Dayou took out his housekeeping skills and drank Xu Hai under the table. After Xu Hai, who had been shouting "General Yu have another drink", was helped away by Wang Cuiqiao, Yu Dayou was a little unsatisfied.

"Xu Hai drinks a fair amount, but he can't drink it well. It would be nice if Wang Zhi was also there, he drank a good amount! Why didn't you invite him here, and by the way, let him and Xu Hai laugh and have a grudge? ”

Hu Zongxian took a glass of warm wine and said indifferently: "It was Brother Xiao who told me that he was not allowed to meet Wang Zhiduo, let alone let them laugh and enmity." ”

Yu Dayou's eyes widened: "Why is this?" It's all our own generals, isn't it stronger when everyone is united? ”

Hu Zongxian kicked Xu Wei under the table, meaning you can explain, get up and leave with the painting girl in his arms.

Rouge Leopard came over and poured wine for the two of them, hid to the side, and secretly drank the remaining half pot of wine with half a plate of sauced beef.

Xu Wei said with a smile: "Dayou, what Lord Xiao means is to let you have more dealings with Wang Zhi, and I have more dealings with Xu Hai here, but between the two of them, it is best not to have dealings."

Not only that, but it is also best to distinguish the sea areas they are responsible for, so that they do not interfere with each other and do not cooperate with each other for the time being.

When the shipyard was built and the Daming Sailor's own fleet was launched to sea, it was time for the two to meet and laugh at each other. ”

Yu Dayou is not a stupid person, but he seems to be a little slower to react among these people, and when he hears Xu Wei say this, how can he not understand.

"I see, it's divide and conquer. The two of them have a heart of competition with each other, and a heart of vigilance, so they will rely more on the court and be loyal to the court.

Don't worry, sir, Wang Zhi's side, I will keep an eye on it. If he is loyal to the court, he is my friend. If there are two hearts, I will tell Master! ”

Sure enough, Wang Zhi breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing that Xu Hai had been named a third-rank general.

In fact, since Xu Hai's surrender, Wang Zhi has always had two worries. He was worried that Xu Hai would be reused, but he was even more worried that Xu Hai would be killed by Hu Zongxian.

Wang Zhi was so smart, he was worried that Hu Zongxian sent Xu Wei to recruit Xu Hai to surrender, he was setting up his own door, and he reminded Xiao Feng many times.

But as the situation progressed, Wang Zhi realized that all this was done by Xiao Feng, and the purpose was to use Luo Wenlong to drag Yan Shifan to death.

When Hu Zongxian was still patrolling the imperial history, he served as an envoy to recruit Wang Zhi, and Wang Zhi knew Hu Zongxian's ability and ambition.

Therefore, when he understood Xiao Feng's layout, he immediately began to worry about whether Hu Zongxian would do his own and really stand on his own.

This is by no means a good thing for Wang Zhi, because Wang Zhi befriended Xiao Feng in the past, and he has also expressed his absolute loyalty to Xiao Feng many times in front of Hu Zongxian.

If Hu Zongxian was to set up his own door, he would never think about wooing Wang Zhi first, but he would definitely win over Xu Hai, or directly control Xu Hai's fleet to confront Xiao Feng.

If Hu Zongxian woos Xu Hai, he will definitely give Xu Hai a reward that is equal to Wang Zhi's status, or even higher, in order to suppress Wang Zhi.

If he wanted to directly control Xu Hai's fleet, Hu Zongxian would use Xiao Feng's knife to kill Yan Shifan and directly kill Xu Hai, making Xiao Feng suffer a dumb loss.

So no matter what the situation is, it's not a good thing. Only the current situation is just right. Xu Hai is slightly lower than his own status and continues to lead the fleet!

This shows that no matter whether Hu Zongxian thought about it in his heart or not, he finally gave up the idea of setting up his own door and continued to stay in Xiao Feng's camp.

Wang Zhi was happy in his heart, and put on the wine and Mao Haifeng to drink. Since Mao Haifeng lost Miss Yun, he went to the Qinglou to find several red-card girls, and they all ended up playing for a few days and giving a sum of money.

He found that he really liked Miss Yun, if it weren't for the lack of musical cells, he would definitely sing a lyrical song "I said that I only have you in my eyes." ”

The righteous son was depressed, and Wang Zhi was helpless. He knows very well that the word "love" is something that no one has been able to really decipher since ancient times, and the simplest and most crude way is to drink more.

While drinking, Yu Dayou took a boat to the island, Wang Zhi hurriedly gave up his seat, and the three of them continued to drink. Yu Dayou took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi opened the letter and read it, and was stunned: "Lord Xiao asked us to buy grain and fish?" This...... Not kidding, right? ”

Yu Dayou nodded: "Your fleet, Xu Hai's fleet, are all this task." You are familiar with the seaside countries that produce grain, you can buy them.

Don't worry about the price, the court will pay for it. In addition, there are many boats in your fleet that have been converted from fishing boats, and they can be dried after fishing.

These grains and catches can be delivered to the receiving point on shore on a regular basis. Fishing villages along the coast are being rebuilt, and fishermen will be the main source of fishing.

You and Xu Hai's fleet are responsible for protecting them from pirates.

My master said that the biggest war this year is the food war, and whoever gets more food between you and Xu Hai will have a great credit! ”

Wang Zhi has lived at sea for a long time, and he really didn't care much about the abundant food on land. Anyway, the fleet will not starve.

There are many island countries on the sea, and even if some countries are starving to death, there are still countries that can't run out of food.

At this time, it is an opportunity for the fleet to make a fortune, from the country of the harvest to the country of starving people, it is natural to make a lot of money, this kind of business Wang Zhi has also done.

But now listening to Yu Dayou say this, Wang Zhicai was shocked to realize that the natural disaster of Daming this year may be very serious, and he already thinks that he is a general of Daming, so he is naturally very concerned about this.

"What, Brother Yu, is there a big drought this year? There are always typhoons and rains along the coast, but you can't feel it. ”

Yu Dayou nodded: "Drought, very dry, not only in the Central Plains, I heard that even on the territory of the Mongols outside the Xuanda Line, the grass on the grassland grows much shorter than in previous years!"

I'm afraid that this year is not only the Ming Dynasty, but even the Mongolians, Miao Jiang, Tibet, and Huijiang are not having a good time.

Master said, in fact, Xiao Qin is right in saying that such a catastrophe year is a huge disaster for the people, but it is also a huge opportunity for those who have a heart.

But this opportunity is fair, whoever can use it well is anyone's, but it is not only in his hands Xiao Qin. ”

Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded again and again: "When something is inevitable, you can make the most of it, instead of blindly being afraid and depressed, it's really a big husband." ”

Then he turned his head to look at Mao Haifeng: "Look at your dejected appearance, when will you understand this truth?" ”

Mao Haifeng had already drunk too much, turned a deaf ear, and looked straight at the sea outside, and a few white clouds floating on the sea.
