110 Regiment
After returning to Haijie County, Li You handed over part of the grain seeds to Qin Feng, acknowledging that he must deliver the early rice to the prefectural government next year. After explaining this, Li You returned. When the boat arrived in Guangzhou Bay, it did not stop, but went directly back to Liuqiu. This time, when he returned to Yangzhou, Li You planned to transport some coconuts back. Anyway, there are so many coconuts here. There are coconut fruits hanging on the trees. Obviously it is copper coin, there is no reason not to take it.
I just stayed here for one day, and the coconuts are already packed a lot. When I go back this time, Li You intends to take two catamarans back together. Just wait another day and load some coconuts. You can return to Yangzhou.
On the boat, Li You was making tea, and the dog rushed onto the boat and said to Li You with a smile: "Young master, the third son and they cut nearly 10,000 coconuts in one day. There are coconuts everywhere here. We will wait until How about filling the ship and going back?"
"No, they should have gone to a far place to chop coconuts. The farther away they are, the more difficult it is and the more dangerous they are. Don’t worry about the money. The coconuts are available every year. It’s hard to say that you still want to take a bite. You’re full, can you finish cutting the coconuts in the south of Liuqiu? Today they can finish them. Tomorrow we will return to Yangzhou, don’t delay."
"Yes, young master, I know."
When Li You said that, the dog can only do so, but he is really interested in this coconut. In two days, more than 100 people will chop off more than 10,000 coconuts and ship it back. This is more than a thousand times. I think it's beautiful.
In the store of Li’s shop, coconuts all over the floor were shipped back today. Many people have only heard of them, but they have not really seen them. It is the old rule. Taste first and buy later. The key is that the shopkeeper also blows the effect of this coconut. Coconut water can not only clear the heat and quench thirst, but also treat thirst like heat. The coconut meat can also nourish the deficiency and strengthen the kidney, replenish qi and expel wind, eliminate chancre and kill insects.
"Treasurer Liao, have you passed your words? If you say that the coconut meat is delicious, I believe it, but if you say that the coconut has medicinal properties, I don't believe it."
"That's right, this coconut is Baiwen, it's not cheap, but it's not that you can sell coconuts so expensive with a few words from your shopkeeper Liao."
Shopkeeper Liao said: "Everyone, everybody, it's not just bragging, this is a famous Lingnan doctor who told me that this coconut woman can nourish and nourish her face, long-term consumption can moisturize her face, and men can eat it... Ha ha, everybody. You can give it a try. Baiwen is really not expensive."
The last sentence he didn't finish, but it really moved some people's minds. They bought some and went back to taste them. Some large households even bought dozens of them, although they didn't sell much on the first day. But shopkeeper Liao knew that after two days, the coconuts here might not be enough to sell. Li's family is full of these novelties, and there are many people who want to try them.
At home, Li You is talking to his mother Li Yao.
"You'er, it seems that you still have to stay upstairs when you go back. Mother really doesn't want you to go."
"Mother, I have to take this matter one step at a time. Now I don't dare to resist the decree."
When Li Yao heard the words "Resistance and Disrespect", he had already clenched his hands tightly. Li You also noticed, and then he asked carefully: "Mother, our family was originally an official family?"
Li Yao did not answer Li You's words, but said: "You'er, when you get older, your mother will tell you. Now, you have to be more careful in doing things, and you must never go beyond anything."
The mother refused to say now, and Li You did not dare to ask, but what the mother said was referring to. Li You knew very well that it was the servants raised in the family. He went on to say: "Mother, don’t worry, all sons will Keep the size, after a while, the son will transfer people away a little bit, and will not let others see anything."
"That's fine, you only come back today, just rest at home for one day, and then report to the prefecture tomorrow. By the way, there is one more thing, that is, Mr. Changde has returned to Yuhang Xu's house." After Li Yao finished speaking So I looked at Li You and his reaction.
As soon as Li You thought about it, he knew what his mother meant, and he also said, "Mother wants to say Yingying, right?"
Li Yao nodded and said, "No matter what I say, now my Li family is only an official merchant. No matter how bad the Xu family is in Yuhang, it is also a family. There will always be such a gap between you and Yingying. I planned to wait until next year. At that time, please settle the matter first, and when you are fifteen years old, let you marry Yingying. Looking at it now, it's not easy for a mother to open this mouth."
But Li You didn't care too much and said, "Mother, Yingying and I are still young. Let's talk about this later."
Li Yao smiled slightly, and said: "When Yingying returned to the Xu family this time, the Xu family's grandmother had already done a gift for her. She is already ready to marry. If the eighteenth woman has not yet married, she will be caught by others. It's a joke."
"Haha, mother, who made Yingying two years older than me, but don’t worry, mother, Yingying’s daughter-in-law, your son will marry you home. Mr. Changde is not that kind of snob. Mr. Changde will certainly agree to the wealth and prestige of my Li family today, as well as the future of my son."
The next day, Li You went to Yangzhou government office to report. There was no way. This was required by the imperial decree. For Li You, an independent Yangzhou regimental trainer, Cui Tong was very clear. This was recommended by Yang Sixue, but He also didn't understand, what the emperor was planning to do.
In the hall of the governor's office, Cui Tong told Li You about the matter, and also told Li You about Yang Sixuan's recommendation.
After listening, Li You still felt a little surprised. He and Yang Sixu were just a fate. It was already an accident when he got a captain last time. How could he recommend it again, and the emperor specially asked him to train. Anyway, this matter. , He and Cui Tong are the same, how can they not understand.
For Li You, it’s a bit difficult this time. It’s not difficult to ask him to recruit 500 soldiers to train. But once the training is complete, he may have something to do later, but he has to train at will, if it’s bad. If the emperor is dissatisfied, he is still unlucky. Just such a thing, he was on his way back, but he kept thinking about how to deal with it.
When he got home, he went straight back to his room. Now Cui Tong has given him a vacant barracks in the east of the city, and the corresponding money and food will be transported there. At the same time, he posted a notice in Yangzhou, and waited. After someone signed up, Li You selected 500 people.
Although Li You doesn’t need to think about these things, training is indeed a bit troublesome, but in the end he still wants to understand that this matter has to be done as best as possible. If Yang Sixu said that the soldiers he trained were not as good as the soldiers. His own servant, he took care of the accident. Now he would not thank Yang Sixue for his recommendation, but silently cursed a few words. (End of this chapter)
