070 Pirate News

In March, the Li family’s boat is ready and will set off to Lingnan in two days. Regarding Yingying’s going to Lingnan, Li You also explained to Xu Zhongming that there will be no problems, and Yan Zhongxiu will not know about Ying. Ying is his granddaughter, and because of this, Yingying has been looking forward to it for two years. Xu Zhongming originally agreed, so she didn't say much.

When the ship left the Yangzhou dock, Yingying was very happy, even Yao Zhu. She is six years old and has never traveled far. This time, she went on a long trip with her parents, but she was very excited. Yin'er had to look after her on the deck too.

After going out to sea, on the deck, Li Yao and Yan Zhongxiu sat on chairs like Yan Zhongxiu, enjoying the beautiful scenery. This boat is different from other boats, not to mention, it looks like on land, at least it is only slightly shaking, not other sea boats at all. Comparable.

Nowadays, there are thousands of miles in the blue sky, and the breeze is blowing the giant sails to ride the wind and waves. The speed has also caused everyone to sigh again and again. Even if the speed is sailing down the river, it is not necessarily comparable.

"Mrs. Li, you have a good son, a great talent." When Yan Zhongxiu knew that the boat was designed by Li You, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Master Yan, You'er is still young, and you need a lot of professors." Li Yao also said politely.

But Yan Zhongxiu said bluntly: "Mrs. Li, the old man can only correct him on the sub-collection of Confucian classics. Others, hahaha, I can't teach you."

Yan Zhongxiu's remarks are really not nonsense. After more than a month, he has learned a little about Li You. Originally, he didn't believe that a twelve-year-old child could host such a big family. He thought it was Li Yao doing it. , But later learned that it was really Li You, and when he tried to compare Li You Shice, he had two words in his mind, evildoer.

According to the current policy, it is difficult for ordinary people to make unique insights. Even officials in the court may not be able to answer certain questions when dealing with certain questions. This requires wisdom, but Li You is like a teenager. , Totally like an old man.

What surprised Yan Zhongxiu most was the so-called miscellaneous studies. Although Li You didn’t know everything, he could still be ugly in water conservancy, farming, astronomy, and arithmetic. His attainments were really not low, he really It is hard to imagine how a child can learn so many things at once.

Now he has a different view of this little disciple. Yan Zhongxiu is very pleased to receive such a student, as if he has picked up a treasure. He believes that as long as Li You grows up, his achievements will be very high.

Eight days later, the boat arrived at the pier of Zhuhai Park. On the pier, Hongwu and others were already waiting here. The catamaran was so special that the observation deck on the top of the mountain had been seen early in the morning.

Yingying saw the manor on the boat just now. It was exactly as Li You said. It was really big. She didn't see it until she got off the boat. Even the roads here were paved with bluestone. The roads were paved directly from the pier to the manor. There are also many fruit trees planted on both sides. New Bayi Chinese website debut

Although the wharf was not far from the manor, it was only a mile away, but Hongwu still prepared two carriages. When Li You asked Yan Zhongxiu to get on the carriage, he refused. It was not far anyway. I haven't been on the ground for a few days by boat, and now I have landed, so walking is a good thing.

Naturally, Li You had to accompany Yan Zhongxiu all the way back. On the way, Yan Zhongxiu asked: "The old man heard that you brought this house to reclaim this place. What did you think?"

"Master, the land of Lingnan is rich in resources, and it is not comparable to that of the North. Even if it is like Jiangnan, it can be compared with the previous one. The so-called Lingnan is remote, because it has not been fully cultivated like the north, and the population is small. But if you want to say It is a good place to make money and raise people, because there are so many specialties in Lingnan. The students grow sugar cane here, and the tea leaves on the mountain on the left.

At the beginning, the students wanted to bring a large amount of the products from the land of Lingnan back to Yangzhou, so that they could make money. Although they thought this way, they realized that when they really did it, it’s difficult. Now there are six villagers in Zhuhai Park. More than a hundred, and the population is close to three thousand. The local poor in Guangzhou have also come here. If Bao'an County and Guangzhou Mansion hadn't stopped them, there would be more people here. No matter how many people there are, there will be one more. The county is here. "

"Oh, it's really not easy for the common people. The land of Lingnan is a place of exile. If you want to bring so many dealers to earn money like you, I'm afraid you won't see many. You do a lot. Yes, it has not only made money, but also cared for the people, so that they will have no worries about food and clothing from now on, and it can also increase the income of the country and the DPRK. Good, good job."

"Thank you Master for the compliment."

In the carriage, Yin'er was also talking about this place with Li Yao. It was planned by Li You to be very neat and beautifully built. The scenery here was not bad originally. It is inevitable that you will be attracted when you come here for the first time.

When we returned to the manor, everyone settled down. It was Li You's room. There were a lot of people. Nangong Yi, Hong Wu, Gouzi, Hong Ming and Chen Yu all came.

"There have been no pirates in the past two years. Why are there two calls at once? Have you checked?"

Hong Wu told the news he found: "I checked, it was originally a group of pirates who came from Chaozhou, but when they went south, they went ashore and killed Lingxia Town, and the people who lived in Lingxia Town reported to the Yamen. The yamen was unable to deal with these pirates. In desperation, the people in Lingxia Town spontaneously formed a team, intending to find the pirates for revenge, but who ever thought, the yamen managed them, and then the two sides confronted each other, who The magistrate of Zhichengfeng County was a fool, and even deducted the label of treason.

This time it was all right. The people in Lingxia Town rebelled directly. A group of people arrested the Yamen quickly, including the county magistrate, and then they went into the sea as bandits. First, they survived, and secondly, for revenge. Two bandits. Now the pirates from Chaozhou are living on the outlying islands in Haikou. The Guangzhou government has sent troops to fight once, but no pirates have been found, and they have no choice but to return. The pirates in Lingxia Town are also in the open sea. On the three islands of Dongling, they only rob foreign ships, do not kill people, only take goods, so the government temporarily ignores them. "

"No wonder you set up an observation deck on the mountain, it turned out to be for this."

Chen Yu said: "Young Master, the pirates have been here. If it weren't for the manor's cottages that were gathered in the middle, there would still be people on the manor who were working at night, so what happened

Li You looked at Nangong Yi and asked, "Mr. Nangong, do you have any ideas? If this pirate keeps staring at this, it would be a good thing."

"You can find the pirates in Lingxia Town and let them fight the Chaozhou pirates. I came here today just to talk about it with you."

After Nangongyi finished speaking, Li You asked about Hongwu again, but Hongwu came straightforwardly and said: "Young Master, there are 600 people here now. If you want to kill some pirates, is it possible that you will get into trouble? , Just kill it directly."

"Haha, you, I agree with Mr. Nangong's statement that to provide help to the people in Lingxia Town is what we should do. If we do it ourselves, this death and injury will be inevitable, and once we contact Lingxia Town, just provide some help, this problem will be solved at once. In the end, if they win, they will still be grateful to us." (End of this chapter)
