Chapter 201. Unsatisfactory life, eighty-nine out of ten

Mao Jue’s principle is, why should he walk if he can take a boat?

In the dilapidated Linhaiwei Port, his fleet is now comfortable and fully displayed. The high giant ship is always his proud capital. When he leans on the shore, although he cannot catch up with Zheng He's fleet back then, it is still one-tenth of its size, right?

On the shore, the farmers hired also carried the last supplies to the ship. Although the robbery of the Ming Dynasty, Mao Jue sent out military rations and other items. He also provided tens of thousands of boxes of cigarettes to the Japanese pirate army. He took 30% of the harvest in Hangzhou City. He didn't know how much silver he had.

In addition to this, some people who were dejected and dejected on board were stepping on board with their bags on their backs. Their expressions seemed to be about to go to the execution ground, and their legs were weak.

These are all people from the Luo Family Manor and the Chen Family. Those who are not strict with each other, even their relatives are ruthlessly shaved out, calling it a dowry and going to Liaodong to develop. These days, Liaodong is a big battlefield and a place to be sent to prisoners. However, killing the nine clans is not a joke, and people from both families dare not treat them easily. The relatives who have no choice but to blame the parents for giving birth to themselves.

It was another member of the Chen family. That night, Mao Jue almost had a massacre three times, and brought more than a hundred heads. When he thought of living with such a murderous demon in the future, these people felt even more frustrated and felt that their future was bleak.

Luo Ning also came to see her off. The elegant female shopkeeper was still wearing a graceful tassel white dress. She was colder by the beach. She also wore a small sable jacket and held her feather fan in her arms. However, the expression of this woman was obviously a little complicated than when she first saw Mao Jue.

At the beginning, she was full of confidence and could fully control such a martial artist from the north. But in a time, the benefits Mao Jue had created were no less than that of her, the old business that supported the Luo family. Especially although she seemed to have set him up later, Mao Jue seemed to have no compensation. She also took away the silk she had accumulated at a low price. His advantage lies in this place. Mao Jue could leave the market that she could not open in Luo Ning.

However, what made Luo Ning most awe-inspiring was that he should be said to be reckless or brave. Even Luo Ning didn't dare to touch her. The rules of the game set by the gentry in Jiangnan for more than a hundred years were torn apart by his contemptuous hand, which made Luo Ning see the golden light that had been covered by the Ming Dynasty. The great gentry were so ugly and weak.

Although he was also one of his targets of revenge, Mao Jue's knife broke Luo Zhen's leg and directly killed her brother's political life. Luo Ning should have hated him as a martial artist, but for some reason, she just couldn't hate him, and even a little envious.

Looking from afar, there was a girl like a lily on the bow of the dark Liaodong ship, looking down at the railing. It should be a plain clothes?

"Shopkeeper Luo, are you listening?"

A sudden shout made Luo Ning come to his senses. Looking at Mao Jue's somewhat surprised look, the strong woman quickly smiled.

"Sorry, I'm a little distracted."

"I know that something has made things difficult for you recently, but I am helpless!"

Mao Jue had a normal IQ, but his EQ was a bit unsatisfactory. He mentioned this matter at this time. Fortunately, after just one sentence, he kept talking to business again.

"The sales of cigarettes are good now. I can go there again this year. It is expected to be 500,000 boxes. You can increase the sales profit by 10%. If someone wants to cooperate, I will cooperate with him. I will give the bulk price another 0.50% and ship it at a 10% discount."

"Okay, I know!"

"There is also Mr. Zheng, Zheng, who stayed here on behalf of me. He has at least 500,000 taels of cash in his hand, Nantong County, Haimen County, and 200,000 acres of land in Songjiang. See if there is any way to take it down."

"I know... it's a wasteland in the mudflats, very barren. What should I do if I buy that piece of land?"

It is still understandable that Yiwu land. If you grow sugarcane and produce sugar in the mountain fields, you can get millions of taels of income a year after you develop it. Luo Ning really couldn't think of what to grow here.

"The mountain man has his own trick!"

This place is indeed wasteful, so it can be empty in Jiangnan where every inch of land is valuable, and the land price is very cheap. This place is famous in later generations. Zhang Jian, the top industrialist in the late Qing Dynasty, built here, and using these tidal flats, he also built a large raw material center, Tonghai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry and Reclamation Company.

Liaodong is very cold, and the demand for cotton is very high every year. But cotton growth does not require much land, but sunshine and temperature requirements are quite high. Liaodong is too cold and winter comes too fast, but he can't win.

Even if you are self-sufficient, it will be profitable for Dongjiang to establish Tonghai Milky Way Company here.

"If you don't want to, I'll let Zheng Duo do it myself."

"Or, let's do it together!"

Yiwu County had not rushed to invest before, and Luo Ning had already regretted it. Although she didn't know what medicine Mao Jue sold in the fox this time, she didn't want to miss this opportunity to make money again, and nodded in a hurry.

Ambiguous smile appeared on Mao Jue's face, which made Luo Ning's face, who was full of urgency, flushed. Fortunately, Mao Jue didn't joke with her, but smiled and clasped her fists.

"That's all, then Manager Luo, we will not change the green mountains and the green water will flow!"

"Well, the general's military fortune is prosperous and he has risen to the top. When the general goes to the south of the Yangtze River again, Luo Ning is already welcomed as a bed!"

But after saying this, Luo Ning's little face turned red again. Sweeping the bed to welcome him seemed to be a promise between men. In order to hold the candle and talk all night long, she, a woman, sweeping the bed to welcome him like Mao Jue, seemed a little ambiguous.

Fortunately, Mao Jue didn't pay attention to her strangeness. After bowing heavily, Mao Jue turned his head and got on the boat with a smile, preparing to row towards the Black Pearl.

Who knew that on this kung fu, on the shore, several carriages were about to fly, and there was a donkey riding in front of him, neighing and shouting with all his might.

"General Mao, wait!"

"Uncle Shen, what are you here to do? Uncle!"

It was so fast that the carriage was rushing to the boat, and I looked at the old man who was breathing heavily. For a moment, Mao Jue's eyes couldn't help but widen.

"Why, isn't it welcome?"

He reached out and pulled his baggage such as his pen, ink, scroll, and other luggage from the car, and stuffed his beard into Mao Jue's hand with a glare. Shen Guangzuo shook his beard in anger.

Mao Jue's face suddenly pulled down sadly.

…………

The little girl held her luggage and put her hips on her hips. She looked quite cute. An old man handed her luggage forward and stared at her with a beard. In Northeast dialect, it was a bit evil and lingering. She felt like the seasickness and wanted to vomit, so Mao Jue wouldn't say it.

But the old guy is older than Mao Wenlong. He was clamped by the door and suddenly wanted to go to Liaodong. Mao Jue didn't dare to drive him off the boat. He dispersed his servants and only brought a few old servants who had been for many years and a little girl from his family. More than a hundred people in the Shen Mansion shrank to about twenty, and they also boarded Mao Jue's sea boat. As soon as he got on the deck, several Shen family members ran to the bow of the boat with joy and looked down. Chen Shou was so panicked that he took a few bigger ones to chase him again, watching.

And sure enough, as soon as he got on the boat, Chen Guangzuo asked a question that Mao Jue was unwilling to ask.

"Where is Jiaojiao?"

"She is fine! Uncle, you always have a family and a job in Hangzhou and have lived in it for many years. Why do you have to follow the boy to Liaodong?"

After arguing the topic, Mao Jue spread his hands sadly again.

"That place is really a cold place, especially when the seasons change, which is particularly bad for the elderly! Why bother with your old age in Hangzhou?"

After getting on the boat, Chen Guangzuo was no longer an old naughty boy. Looking at the shore, the Shen family members who were seeing him off were holding a carriage and waving their hands. Amid the buzzing sound on their heads, the high sails hung full of the boat. The old man sighed melancholy.

"Two aspects, first, I really don't want to see those aristocratic families in Hangzhou anymore. I have been talking about literature and talked with me for more than ten years. At that time, I still can't escape a brother Kong Fang, and I can't help myself in the world. If I continue to stay in this Hangzhou city, if I don't take it when they divide the land, I will still be rejected and rolled my eyes. In this way, it's better to avoid disaster to the north!"

He is worthy of being an official who has been a decades-old official. The old guy has a very sensitive sense of smell. Mao Jue couldn't help but admire this. He lived in Hangzhou City without a broken family. Chen and the two major families are all jealous. Why didn't you get robbed?

In addition, Mao Jue did not take over the dirty things of the Hangzhou wealthy family, and Chen Guangzuo, who was related to him, would definitely not be welcomed.

More importantly, ordinary people don’t like you, at most they ignore you. Scholars like Jiangnan gentry are not that easy to talk to. If you don’t think you are good, they will also design you. This time, Mao Jue has understood it thoroughly. If he continues to stay in Hangzhou, the Shen family may be in the hands of Shen Guangzuo.

It’s better to change the parents and run away by themselves. The family is fine and you can hide yourself.

"My nephew understands!"

"You understand what a bullshit!"

Holding his arms, the old guy looked like he was swaying beard and staring at him, scolding him irritably.

"I went to Liaodong this time to watch you! You are so good. When you come to Jiangnan, you first robbed the girl from the people, causing storms all over the city, and then got entangled with the girl from the Luo family. He turned around and turned around and colluded with pirates, but they all attacked Hangzhou City. My Shen family is a loyal and martyr, and the Mao family has also served in Liaodong for generations and has been famous for their lifetime. If you ruin it, I will not feel at ease when I enter the coffin board!"

"Where is Jiaojiao? I want to see her!"

"Well……"

Seeing Chen Guangzuo blowing his beard and staring at the deck again, Mao Jue wiped the big drop of sweat on his forehead sadly.

Is it so good for me to cause trouble?

…………

Chen Guangzuo's arrival finally brought a light to Chen Jiaoer, which was released from the prison under the deck and placed in a relatively clean room on the upper floor. It was next to Chen Guangzuo and the Shen family. Although Mao Jue was a little unhappy, it was not a big deal.

Moreover, Chen Guangzuo was also a master of mind, theory and science. The old man's knowledge was not bound by the subtle meanings of the Four Books and Five Classics, and was not a rigid old antique. Every day when he taught to the clan, he was mixed with some life experiences, such as the second chapter of "The Doctrine of the Mean", Chen Guangzuo talked about what he was when he was a prefect, what kind of talents he selected, what words and deeds were available, and what cunning and cunning were not allowed. Indeed, people's inner behavior could still be seen through habits and things were seen, so why do people and what not to do!

At first, when I heard about the Four Books and Five Classics, Mao Jue was not even interested in yawning, and Chen Guangzuo did not invite him, but once he passed by, he heard it for an hour. The old man's life experience was indeed as wonderful as a book. So every day, there was a General Mao who looked like a grade director outside the window of the small hall every day, and he followed the class to listen.

Life is no longer boring.

However, what should be done still needs to be done. Mao Jue's fleet still anchored in the sea outside Shanghai County as planned. At this time, the Japanese pirate army heading north also burned the war into Nanzhili.

On May 16th, like the last time I logged in, Mao Jue took the lead on the land, and the small team headed towards Shanghai County. Although he had a big fight with the Wu family, he didn't know where the Wu family was.

As expected, the war is approaching. Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which were originally pastoral, have suddenly become much depressed at this time. The originally lively towns have become deserted, and everyone is running to the inland to avoid the upcoming military disaster.

However, before Mao Jue could unload all his men, a team of Ming cavalry on the coastline was intercepted by the horses.

All the teammates were killed in the city of Hangzhou, and Mao Jue's personal guards were not afraid of these Jiangnan soldiers. With a shout of Mao Spear, dozens of flintlock guns formed a defensive formation with the ship. The soldiers on the shore also squatted down and set up guns. The number of dark bayonets was twice as many as the cavalry on the shore. In this situation, the leader of the official cavalry did not dare to be hard, and shouted at the far away from him.

"Who are you? From that unit? Why did you land here again?"

"I am Mao Jue from Dongjiang! He led his troops back to Jiangnan to visit his relatives. He encountered Japanese pirates on the road and was blocked from his way. After recapturing Hangzhou City with his personal soldiers, he crossed the sea to Nanzhili for support! There is an official sealed disc as evidence!"

"General Mao, Deputy General of Tieyi?"

When he heard this name, the cavalry leader turned over and jumped off the war horse, and greeted him with some excitement, bowed heavily in front of Mao Jue's bayonet.

"The 16th Team of the Third Post of Zhongyi Camp in Jinzhou killed the general ancestor and met General Mao! Thanks to General Mao's rescue, he and his brothers came back alive with Dalinghe!"

"What are you still standing there? Why don't you come over to pay homage to General Mao!"

The court's reward for Mao Jue is heartbreaking, but in the Jinzhou army, the famous general Wushuang Mao Tieyi is a figure who is shoulder to shoulder with General Wu Sangui. It is really thought that he can meet his fans here. Looking at the Jinzhou soldiers who were excited to kneel all over the ground, he had to put them away with murder and robbery, and Mao Jue asked in surprise.

"Why are you here?"

"General Mao, don't you know?"
