Chapter 158: Gone
Gypsies are almost natural wanderers, no one knows where they come from, not even themselves, where they come from or where they are going. The element of wandering is deeply seared in every gypsy when they are born.
However, because they are outsiders, and because they have always been at the bottom of society, the Gypsies have to adapt to various situations from here to there, and even their religious beliefs have to change at any time. So, they have been discriminated against, and all kinds of oppression. From France to Russia, from Spain to Germany, everywhere, the Gypsies had to endure this. In Britain, there was once a massacre of a Gypsy group of more than 100 people.
Just two years earlier, King Louis XIV of France had ordered the expulsion of Gypsies throughout the country, and that any disobedience among the Gypsies would be punished by men, women, and children. This made life even more difficult for Yesenia's group of Gypsies, who had to make a long-distance migration.
However, it was not long before a series of major wars began in Europe. Yesenia and others, who lived in a helpless life, finally decided to leave Europe in order to avoid the war. At this time, the East, which has become more and more prosperous in the West in recent years, fell into their eyes.
Gypsies, who have never been afraid of wandering, are naturally not afraid to go long distances. So, Yesenia took the small group and set out on the road to the east. It can be said that the road has gone through hardships, and even a few people have died. Still, despite this, they didn't give up. Finally, they crossed Poland, entered Russia, crossed the Caucasus! Halfway through, they came across a village of exiles who had been lucky enough to survive the hardest part of winter. Eventually, they reached Nebuchu.
"The East is the only direction we can go in, ma'am, please don't drive us away!" After Yesenia finished speaking, she asked Mo Jing again.
"Don't do that!" Seeing Yesenia saluting him, Mo Jing stretched out his hand to support him, and asked, "Weren't you very decisive before?" If I don't agree, you just want to go back with someone right away......"
"There's a reason for that, ma'am! We met your people earlier and they are very friendly. They even gave us some food and salt! I wanted to go back because I might catch up with them! ......," Yesenia replied with a wink.
"I almost forgot if you didn't say so! …… Did the people you meet say where they came from? Where are you going? Mo Jing asked again.
"We don't speak the language, so we don't know about these things. However, they are all dressed the same as you. Moreover, they brought a lot of things, it was obvious that they wanted to travel far, I think, they must have wanted to go to the West! ......," Yesenia said.
“…… Are you sure? Mo Jing picked up the teacup and asked.
"Yes. Although we didn't understand the language, we still compared each other for a while! …… Ah, by the way, I know what their leader is called! Yesenia suddenly shouted.
"What's his name?" Mo Jing asked.
"His name sounds like 'Bean, Two, Bean'!" Yesenia said.
"Bean Erdou? What's the name? Mo Yan smiled and took a sip of tea. Yu Zhong has already sent people to chase those people, and according to the route pointed out by Yesenia and the others, I believe it will not take long to catch them. After all, the terrain and roads around Nebuchu have long been surveyed very clearly in the past few years, and if those people are really Chinese, then those who are not familiar with life must not be able to run far!

"Congratulations to Gege, Gege has a good trip!"
Ningguta, Luo Xin is finally leaving, and she is accompanied by Asuli, the son of Prince Wu Rigen* and Guo. Both of them wanted to go to Mukden, one wanted to discuss with Old Man Fei about buying salt and various items, and the other was because their home was in Mukden.
Shahrhuda and Isana also came out with people to see them off. However, without them, the people who came out to see them off were almost the entire population of Ningguta, except for those who had to guard the "prisoners" at their posts.
……
It was only after almost a day of such a busy work that Isan Ah and Sharhuda were able to rest. They were surrounded by the crowd and sent them for nearly a hundred miles! Even when they returned, there were still many people with horses who continued to see off Luo Xin. It is estimated that these people will not come back in a few days.
"I can't imagine that Hingege is so popular in Ningguta!" After returning, in the "new home" of Shahrhuda, Isan Ah faced this "colleague" and said.
"That's nature! What were the people like here? What now? The worst and worst, I'm afraid I can get a dividend of dozens of taels of silver a year. Lord Yi, you have followed Xingge everywhere in the past few days, you must know very well what kind of treasure land our Ningguta is, right? …… What's more, Hingge and Master Ma are also very good to the people below, how can they be unpopular? Sha Erhuda sat on a single sofa that Luo Xin had worked so hard to get from Mo Jing's hand, and said.
"What Lord Totong said is reasonable. Who would have thought that the bitter cold land of Ningguta could become a cornucopia? If it weren't for Singge taking me there, I wouldn't have known that the medicine garden alone would earn hundreds of thousands of taels every year! Ethan smacked his lips and said with admiration.
"Haha, the imperial court is not allowed to dig ginseng indiscriminately, but we don't grow it ourselves! Thanks to Master Ma for coming up with such a trick......" Sha Erhuda laughed.
"It seems that Lord Dutong, you also admire Master Ma and Hingege?" Ethan asked.
"Then you need to ask? I dare to say that if we can make Ningguta become what it is now, we in the Great Qing Kingdom will never be able to find the fourth group of people! Shahrhuda said.
"The fourth? What are you talking about...... Lord Totong?" asked Ethana.
"Lord Yu Zhongyu has passed by Ningguta several times, and that eye Gege has come even more. Lord Yi, we have a lot of things in Ningguta that they have their part in! I heard that when it comes to this way of management, that eye Gege is far superior to Ma Daren and Hingege; There is also the lively Ferdinand Ferdinand Ferdinand who is doing it in Mukden; Aside from these two groups of people, it's absolutely hard to find anyone who can compare to Master Ma and Hingege! Shahrhuda said.
"Hmmm! That's right! It's a pity......" Ethan sighed.
"Yi-sama, what are you sorry for?" Shahrhuda asked.
"It's a pity that Hingege left too early, and now all the businesses in Ningguta have been decided, and everyone has their own gains! …… I'm too late! Ethan smiled wryly.
"Alas! What you said is yes! I'm too late! Although they were polite and gave me a hundred percent of their income, alas, ......," Shaerhuda sighed.
"Oh? Lord Totong actually had to give up one percent? That's a lot this year! Congratulations, come, come, toast to you, please! Ethana raised the glass in her hand and said to Sharhida.
"Where is this little money worth congratulating? You're welcome! "Touched a glass with Ethana," Sharhuda said.
……
"This guy really deserves to be a soldier, he has a big appetite, and he seems to be very dissatisfied! Hum...... Ma De, Luo Xin, you haven't figured out the words 'lack of people' yet! Ningguta is such a big business, even the imperial court is not clear, you should not have made it clear to us so early. Ethan Ah stole a glance at Sharhuda and said secretly.
"Idiot! As expected! As soon as I came, I wanted to fight Lao Tzu's idea! You don't want to inquire about the identities of this Mader couple in Ningguta! Damn, people gave me half of my income! If it is not good for them to let people know that Lao Tzu is following you, this Ningguta person is afraid that they will shoot Lao Tzu's black arrow! Hmph, if you interfere in these businesses, Lao Tzu will have so many harvests? …… The people in Quanning Guta are Lao Tzu's eyeliner, but it depends on what tricks you can play as an outsider! Sharhuda also peeked at Ethan, and in the same way, he secretly made up his mind.
……
Isanga and Shaerhuda were secretly calculating there, and Nian Qianyao was not very easy.
He is training "soldiers"!
These soldiers were divided into two parts, one was the sailor soldiers and horses brought by himself; The other group is the pirates! And these pirates are divided into two groups: Western and Oriental.
"My lord, these Japanese people are very obedient. Everything is very serious, I think, in a few days, our soldiers may not be able to catch up with them! …… Do you want to train this? "Yue Zhongqi, as the only relatively capable general under Nian Qianyao, was sent to train more than 2,000 Japanese pirates who should be in big trouble. However, what is unexpected is that those Oriental pirates not only did not make any trouble, but were more disciplined than those sailors and generals, after Yue Zhongqi doubled the amount of training, these people were still honest, everything was done according to orders, all the training was done meticulously, and the beating and scolding of the sailors and soldiers were as if they were gone. As a result, this situation made Yue Zhongqi uncertain. Originally, Nian Qianyao trained these pirates mainly to teach these people a little lesson, so that they could learn to obey the rules and take care of them in the future. However, the performance of these Japanese pirates frightened him, and if he continued at this speed, I am afraid that it would not be long before more than 2,000 Japanese pirates picked up their weapons and drove 3,000 sailors to run all over the ground! This is definitely not good news!
