586 Safe Return
Ono Maro arrived at Liuqiu first in a clipper. What he had to do was to quickly organize a fleet to go to the island to bring people back, but they were only able to carry people on the catamarans, and one ship could do the most. He loaded three hundred people and wanted to transport people away at once. He had to find Mu Jiande. He had to add the ships on the Nanwan side to count them. Otherwise, he couldn't transport people away at once.
When he finally set off with fifteen boats, the two big boats have also gone to Siam. In Haihe Town, Mu Jiande is in charge here. What he has to do is not easy. More than 10,000 people make one. Wanduo opened his mouth, not only to fill their stomachs, but also to let them have a home. Some of the original temporary residences have been demolished, and the rest is not enough to accommodate so many people. Some new buildings have to be built here, and most of them here The craftsmen have also moved to Luzon. There are too few people available and can only be built slowly. The good thing is that the bamboo house can be built quickly. ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
Although Liuqiu is also in the cold winter season, there is no snow, and it is not so cold. At least it won’t freeze to death at night. It doesn’t matter if you sleep in a tent. Just put a fire outside the tent to deal with it. It’s really better here. Ojinura is so much better.
During the New Year's Day, Zhuhai Park is particularly lively here. Several villages will ask the host’s family to visit the village and enjoy the harvest with everyone. Li Ruoyun wants to go, but it’s really inconvenient to have a big belly, and he can only stay at home. Stayed.
Nangongyi didn't go, but stayed with Li Ruoyun at home. In the past two days, the number of people in the manor was obviously much less, and they went to the villages to eat and drink. If it was lively, the farmers were the most lively in the past two days. Now, every family has a good life, and there is no shortage of food and clothing, otherwise there will be leisurely treats for dinner.
But then again, for these simple dealers, they would not be stingy about this. If it weren’t for the master’s house and the guards here, how could they have such an easy life, there would still be a big deal at the end of the year. Fuyu, as a thank you, this kind of banquet has been here for several years, Hong Wu, as the steward here, is naturally the object of invitation.
At dusk, when Hong Wu and his party were drinking happily, one of his subordinates came over and said that Dong Kui and Qiu Chengfu were back, and Hong Wu hurriedly left.
When he returned to the small courtyard, Hong Wu only saw Dong Kui waiting here. Before Dong Kui paid him a visit, Hong Wu stepped forward and asked, "Dong Kui, are your party safe and sound? The young master is okay. ?"
Dong Kui clasped his fist and said, "Brother Wu, everything is fine, and the young master is fine."
Although he didn't say much, Hong Wu was already very at ease. The journey was too far away. It was a good thing to return safely. Hong Wu quickly took Dong Kui to the living room again. He needed to know more details.
When Dong Kui asked Mu Jiande to prepare at least 20,000 catties of pyrolusite to crushed leaves, Hong Wu asked: "This... what's the use of pyrolusite? Why does the young master keep asking people to mine it? ?"
"Brother Wu, this is something used to make iron. The young master just gave it to Qiu Chengfu and the others how to use it. Our young master teaches others."
Hong Wu didn't ask much, but asked again: "What else does the young master ask me to prepare?"
"There is only pyrolusite, and the rest is for shipment to Siam. The young master specifically explained that we must prepare a large amount of saltpeter mine."
"Saltpeter! I know this thing, how much do you need?"
"The young master means... the smallest number is ten thousand catties."
Dong Kui dared to say, but when Hong Wu heard Dong Kui's words, his eyes widened, tens of thousands of kilograms, this number is not a joke, he immediately said: "This saltpeter is medicine, why the young master? Do you want so much? Once we purchase in large quantities, we will surely attract the attention of others."
"Brother Wu, you don’t have to worry about this. The young master didn’t say that he wanted to refine the saltpetre, nor did he need to prepare so much at one time. What he asked us to buy was only saltpetre ore, and the purification was done by ourselves. , It will be easier to buy raw ore."
"Well, then, I asked someone to go to Yangzhou to inquire about the ore. Once I found it, I transported it to Siam City. Does the young master have other things to explain?"
"There is nothing more. The only thing left is that we and Qiu Chengfu go to Siam to open a workshop."
Hong Wu nodded, and finally said, "Well, I know, I will send a letter to Mu Jiande when I look back. Okay, you can go back to rest soon, it’s not too early. Tomorrow night is New Year’s Eve, in our manor. There will be a big banquet, you are in good time to catch up, everyone will gather together tomorrow night. Oh, husband and Anzi are here, but the husband is here with Princess Wanan, you better not disturb him ."
"Ah! Princess? Brother Wu, what does this mean?" Dong Kui really didn't understand.
Then Hong Wu said lightly in his ear, and he stared at Hong Wu with wide eyes, with an incredible expression on his face, which is too unimaginable for a low-level person like him. He then asked: "Brother Wu, this is a princess! Why does she dare to do such a thing?"
"There must be a reason for this, not you and I can guess. In fact, you also know that Mr. Nangong's appearance and conversation are very good, and it is no wonder that the princess can look at him."
Dong Kui nodded and said: "Brother Wu said very much, if it's me, haha, don't talk about princesses, I'm afraid that ordinary girls won't look at them more when they see it."
Hong Wu smiled and said, "Hehe, why, thinking about marrying a wife?" Seeing Dong Kui smiled, Hong Wu said again: "Well, in a few days, I will tell you a marriage, the old man in Dongtou Village. The second daughter of the Wu family, today Uncle Wu asked me to help him find a good son-in-law."
After thinking for a while, Dong Kui said unhappily, "Brother Wu, the second daughter of Uncle Wu's family seems to be only sixteen, right? Isn't it younger? Also, his two daughters are just average!"
Hong Wu smiled and said: "Oh, if you don't look down on it, then I will tell others, you should go back and rest earlier."
Seeing Hong Wu turned to leave, Dong Kuili immediately stopped him and said with a smile: "Ha ha, Brother Wu, don't, I'll take this matter, so I'll bother Brother Wu."
"Well, I'll talk about it tomorrow. If Uncle Wu agrees, you can bow down and it will be done."
"Alas, Brother Wu stayed." Dong Kui blocked Hong Wu again, clasped his fists and bowed, then said: "Brother Wu, why don't you take a trip now and I'll accompany you. How about making this happen?"
After Hongwu laughed a lot, he took Dong Kui to Dongtou Village. There is no other way. Regardless of the large number of farmers here, but there are few women of the right age, men want to marry a wife, not only need some money, but also Need some luck. Now that you have luck, you have to hurry up. If you really live the night, if the second daughter of the Wu family is allowed to be someone else, there will be nothing Dong Kui will do, so he will be so anxious. (End of this chapter)
