Chapter 308: Rebuilding the Home
"Hey, I really don't know how the imperial sister-in-law is now, we couldn't say goodbye to her when we left, she only has the emperor in her heart, and she is drifting away from us, now the emperor has changed, she has become a loner again, I'm afraid there is no one to complain. Xu Yu'er couldn't help but sigh softly.
"This is all self-inflicted, she is right to the emperor, but it can't be black and white, we are all loyal to them, but in the end all we get is suspicion and vigilance, if she can help us say a fair word, maybe the current situation will not be so miserable." Gao Xiuran said unevenly.
"That's right, it's just that we are far away from her, but sister, you and she are both concubines and best friends, but she also looks at you indifferently, and it doesn't matter to herself, I'm afraid no one will care about her anymore this time, and her two children can grow up smoothly, which is her greatest gratification." Xu Wan'er also felt very angry, if they weren't forced to be helpless, they wouldn't all come here, and their parents could only entrust it to their brother.
Life here is good, they are like a big family together, and the division of labor is very clear. Several men are responsible for running out to do business, and they are involved in a wide range of industries, and Mo Xingchen is responsible for transporting and wholesale aquatic products on the island.
The four secret guards led by Rufeng are now responsible for the export of various fruits on the island, as well as the distribution of mountain delicacies from the island to restaurants in various countries. Agus and Zoya are in charge of all the ships on the island, because they are free men and have nothing to do with Mexico, so they are responsible for overseeing the delivery and receipt of goods to their respective countries.
Qin Zhiyuan was responsible for harvesting and transporting rice, wheat and other grains from the island. In just half a year, the population of the island has expanded from a few people when they first arrived, to a few hundred.
Because they accommodate the population here, although there are particularly harsh conditions, there are also good preferential policies.
Anyone who wants to live on the island must be a good citizen who has no bad deeds and has passed the examination, and must be a hard-working and aspiring person who is willing to make a fortune.
If you meet both of these conditions, the island will be issued a resident residence permit, so that you become a legal resident of the island.
As long as they are legal residents of the island, the island administration will divide the land, the mountains, and the fishing boats, so that they can support themselves, they will harvest the profits, and they will also assist them in transporting them outside to exchange for silver.
In this way, the number of inhabitants of the island became more and more numerous, and everyone knew that the policy here was good, and the people were not only well-fed and clothed, but also that there was no strict hierarchy, and that everyone else was a villager, except for the management class and those who served them.
Moreover, young and middle-aged men can join the reserve army of the island, they train on time every day, and have monthly services, in addition to training on weekdays, they are responsible for the security of the entire island.
The small island army recruited people from both the small island and the nearby islands, and because of the attractive treatment, there were several thousand people who signed up in the first batch, and after strict screening, half of them were removed, and there were more than 3,000 left.
Mo Xingchen was the supreme commander of the island army, and all the rules and regulations were drafted by him. Rufeng is the head of the sect, and he leads the three secret guards to train these troops. In the training, according to the individual's talent, martial arts, etc., it is divided into elite soldiers, infantry, naval warfare and royal guards.
The women are not idle, and several women led by Xu Yue'er are holding up a piece of the sky, because on the island, there is no custom of male superiority and inferiority of women, and all men and women are equal here.
Xu Zhi'er is responsible for the education of all the children on the island, and they do not hire private school teachers, but appoint people with various talents on the island to teach a subject.
Xu Nuo'er served as two subjects, she taught calligraphy and painting, and Gao Xiuran taught literacy and poetry. Xu Wan'er teaches various musical instruments, such as the wind to teach martial arts.
The children on the island also learn much more than the children in other places, because they are faced with the task of developing the island with their wisdom and hands.
"Commander, there is a guest outside who said that it was your old subordinate, and Lu Wu has come to join you. A new guard rushed in to report.
"Lu Wu, he's here, great, hurry up and please!" As soon as Mo Xingchen heard that Lu Wu was coming, he was overjoyed and hurriedly walked out to greet him.
I saw that Lu Wu was still in high spirits, but he had a four-year-old child by his side.
"You, what's your situation, this kid is your son?" Mo Xingchen looked at the little boy who looked a little like Lu Wu and asked in surprise.
"Haha! Forget it, how can I have that blessing, this is my nephew, it's your brother, are you a little disadvantaged?" Lu Wu smiled maliciously.
"What? You said he was the son of the emperor's uncle, and that Lu Nianwu?" Mo Xingchen was stunned for a moment, and looked at it carefully.
"Uh-huh—it's like a fake!" Lu Wu said with a smug smile.
"Nianwu - I'm your brother. Mo Xingchen squatted down excitedly, opening his arms and waiting for Xiao Nianwu's arrival.
The little guy is also very good at getting into trouble, so he ran over and gave him a big hug. The little guy smiled cutely.
"Brother, this brother is a bit old, the brother in our friends is not as old as you. The little one said a little confused.
"It's a bit big, but it's really your brother, it's like a fake!" Mo Xingchen smiled lightly, he was really a little caught off guard when he met such a little guy.
"Huh, Daddy, he, who is he, why does he call you brother?" Mo Binghan, who had just run over, looked stunned and couldn't help asking.
"He, he's your little uncle, you're his little niece. Mo Xingchen explained with some embarrassment.
"Ahh Mo Binghan pouted with a look of displeasure.
"This is a genuine little uncle, I can't help but admit it, although this age is a little younger, but this generation is really not small. Mo Xingchen said with a smile. "Hello little uncle, are you going to live with us in the future?" Mo Binghan stretched out his little hand very friendly and shook hands with the little guy.
"I should stay for a while, I'm a child, I shouldn't leave my parents, so I stay with you for a while, and I should go back to see my parents, and then I want to come back again." "The little guy said it like an adult, and the big guy laughed.
"Haha, you're quite funny, you look like a little adult when you talk like this, not bad, you do have the unique style of the Mo family, little uncle, come here, I'll take you to play!" Mo Binghan pulled Lu Nianwu and left in a hurry.
Looking at the backs of the two children leaving, the adults couldn't help but sigh, how good it is that such a family is in harmony, and the one who fought and killed before was which side won, and the Mo family as a whole also lost. Why didn't they think about it at the time?
"Well, I'm glad to see today, when the royal army was almost going to hurt them, and I was going crazy, but luckily it's all over. Lu Wu still had palpitations in his heart.
"We were negligent in that incident, and we learned afterwards that it was useless, but fortunately you are fine, otherwise our guilt will die. Mo Xingchen said with some guilt.
Mo Xingchen took Lu Wu to visit his small island, everything on the island is so charming, and it makes people feel at home, everything here is everyone working together, and there is laughter everywhere.
"You guys are good here, it's already small-scale, but the army doesn't know what's going on, is it still very strong?" After walking around, he didn't see the soldiers, Lu Wu asked with some confusion.
"Of course, the army can't be left behind, they are all practicing on another island, which is no man's land, so it is very convenient to practice. Mo Xingchen said with a straight face.
"I believe this, your local army is not bad, and there are still like the wind in them. You will definitely not be bad, it is said that there is some chaos in the royal family now, the people of the government and the opposition are in turmoil, and the veteran figures are even more dissatisfied and have to return to their hometowns, and the queen is also unpopular, it is nothing, I didn't expect it to become like this in just a few years. Lu Wu couldn't help but sigh.
"But no, the world is impermanent, we didn't expect to change so quickly, if it wasn't for your business at the time, let us see all this clearly, I'm afraid we would have to find our own way now. Mo Xingchen said with a smile.
"Yes, it's inevitable that we'll find our way. It's a matter of time or time, and it's good for us to come out early, otherwise we might be hindered when we come out. At that time, I am afraid that such a good place would have been occupied by others long ago. Lu Wu said with a smile, feeling a little relieved to say it now.
"We have to think like this, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, as long as we work hard, life there is the same beauty. Your sister and brother-in-law are quite happy now, right?" After thinking about it for a while, Mo Xingchen couldn't help but ask about his imperial uncle's current situation.
"They're fine, the little guy was brought by me for you to see, by the way to create a rare world for them to be two, that is, life is a little boring, there are fewer relatives and friends over there, and when I come over after a while, they will be even more boring, the little guy chooses by himself, he is willing to be here and here, and he will take him back if he is willing to go back." Lu Wu said lightly.
"Well, Nianwu can live on both sides, take him back to live for a few days if you miss them, usually there will be a better education here, there are some old antiques over there, it is not good for him, the education here is the most advanced, the children learn a lot of things, you can take him to listen to it when you have time, I think a smart child like him will like the private school here, and Mr. is also someone he is familiar with." Mo Xingchen thought for a while and proposed.
