Views:

The victims don't understand the word "advanced", but seeing Su Nuannuan so confidently saying that this food is edible, the victims are happy. Repeatedly said: "In this case, I will let the boys who are familiar with water go down and cut some up and take them away. The ready-made knives and guns in the cabin don't eat people, so we don't have to be afraid."

Duan Tingxuan looked at Zhang Tianming and asked, "How much more can our ship hold? Don't be greedy for too much, and it will sink after being overweight." The young master has heard Duan Tingye say this kind of tragedy more than once, and he almost has it in his heart. shadowed.

Before Zhang Tianming could answer, the former man said, "Don't worry, my lord, these are navy ships with the best quality. A ship can hold at least seven or eight tons of cargo. Except for us, It can still hold some things, you see, this boat has not much draft."

Duan Tingxuan followed the direction of his finger to see the situation of the other boats, and sure enough the sides of the boats were still high above the water surface, so he nodded and said: "In that case, let's get some kelp up, and then catch a few nets of fish, and tomorrow we will go back to Jin Zhouwei, if the food is still not available, come over and continue to salvage kelp."

Zhang Tianming hurriedly ordered the soldiers to go down to pass the order, and then said to Duan Tingxuan: "My lord, even though you said so, the cargo on the ship should not be too much. Now the waterways of Jinzhou Wei are connected in series only because of the heavy rain. If there is really too much The cargo, when it reaches the shallow and narrow part of the waterway, the ship will not be able to pass through."

Duan Tingxuan smiled and said: "It's okay, anyway, the victims have been rescued. If there is a place that the boat cannot pass on the way back, I will send someone back to requisition the boat from the people's house. In short, food is the most important thing now."

With the help of these victims, several thousand catties of kelp were collected in one afternoon, and hundreds of catties of fish were also caught. These are trivial matters for naval ships, so everyone happily turned the bow. Go to Jinzhouwei.

Seeing the sun was setting, Su Nuannuan and Duan Tingxuan were sitting on the deck, chatting with the man. The man lowered his head, not daring to look at Su Nuannuan at all, and answered every question she asked. After talking like this for a while. Fang felt less nervous. Hearing Su Nuannuan ask again: "This big sturgeon lives in fresh water, how could it run into this sea? Do you know what's going on?"

The man raised his head and glanced at the big fish that had not moved in the distance, scratched his head and said, "The grass people were also suspicious before. But now that I think about it, the sea water and some rivers and lakes on the shore are pouring out, I'm afraid they got mixed up. Together. Although our place is small, there are quite a few big rivers that connect with those in the north. This big sturgeon probably went down the river. But unexpectedly, it was washed into the sea by a heavy rain. Thanks to its body I grew up, so I was able to persist here and not die, but in the end, I couldn’t do it. That’s why I was entangled in seaweed. The old man beat those big sharks away, and we were afraid that those guys would sneak back to take revenge. Overturn the ship, so we just Let a few people with good water skills get off the boat to check it out. It turned out that this big guy should be the son of the world and his wife Hongfu Qitian, otherwise it would be difficult to see such a big sturgeon in ordinary days."

Su Nuannuan nodded, the secret path was probably like this, no matter what, there was finally a reasonable explanation. Looking at the kelp piled up on the deck, Yin asked again with a smile: "Yes, have ships from North Korea and Japan come here frequently in recent years?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the man's complexion changed drastically and he stood up suddenly, touching his waist with one hand, staring at Su Nuannuan in horror, and murmured: "You...how do you know? You...what do you know? ?”

"So what if you know? Do you still want to kill people to silence them?"

Duan Tingxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a murderous aura emanated from him. The man in his thirties shivered for a long time before he knelt down and kowtowed on the deck again and again, saying shyly: "My lord, madam, I did all these things myself. Just follow me, don't bring trouble to my family, my old mother is over sixty, and my daughter-in-law is also weak, they don't know anything."

Su Nuannuan was dumbfounded, thinking what did I ask? How did it involve arresting and killing? What does North Korea and Japan have to do with his mother and daughter-in-law? Because she looked at her husband in a daze, Duan Tingxuan sneered and said, "Doesn't Nuan Nuan have a guilty conscience? Hehe! Your question was just an unintentional question, but it happened to be related to the big secret in this man's heart, so he just pretended to be a guilty conscience." .”

The man suddenly raised his head, and said, "Ma'am... Didn't Madam see through the deals I usually do, so she purposely speaks out?"

Duan Tingxuan sneered: "Are we full enough to survive? Investigating the smuggling situation of Jinzhou Wei during the flood has made people's hearts unstable? It's clear that you have a guilty conscience. Forget it, stop worrying about it, and answer Madam's words carefully. She's too lazy to deal with your shitty things."

The big man's face changed, his eyes were full of annoyance, he lowered his head and said: "I thought this matter was broken, but I never thought that Madam was deceiving me."

"Who lied to you?" Su Nuannuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm because of these kelp. There are many such things along the coasts of Japan and North Korea, but we don't have them in the Great Indian Dynasty. Just now you said that it was only in the past few years Appeared, so I guessed that ships from that side came over these years, so they unintentionally brought this thing from their sea to breed, who knows that you have ghosts in your heart, and you will be anxious after hearing this."

The big man was dumbfounded. After a long while, he slapped his head violently twice, and exclaimed angrily: "Is that so? No wonder Shizi said that I was a guilty conscience. I thought grandma knew about me, alas!" After finishing speaking, he was very frustrated , couldn't help stretching out his palm, and slapped himself on the face a few times.

"Okay, you don't have to be upset. Although I haven't personally seen your sufferings, I do understand them. It's just to earn more money to support the family, to feed and clothe the family, and this is understandable." Duan Tingxuan said lightly, and then Shen Sheng said: "However, this matter is not allowed to be done in the future. Listen to me, Jinzhou will also build a city shipping department in the next two years. Then you will keep the little money you have saved so hard, and wait until the city is built." Boss will trade with those foreign people later, and there will be court officials to help you negotiate the price, so that those cunning people will not let you take away your things at a low price."

"Is what the son said true?"

The annoyance and fear on the man's face disappeared, and he asked in surprise with his slap on his face. Seeing Duan Tingxuan nodded, he patted his chest excitedly, and shouted strangely: "That's great, that's great, that's really great." Well, we have worked so hard, hunted and caught fish, and even traded with those foreign people. We are barely making ends meet. If Jinzhou can really build a shipping department, wouldn’t our customs be as prosperous as Suzhou and Hangzhou? "Although they have no knowledge, these Jurchens also speak Chinese from novels, so Heaven on Earth still knows.
