Chapter 296
Never be soft-hearted
Shi Yanei didn't ask who was going to Yizhou. He thought that when Mr. Hai left, he handed over Yizhou or Ryukyu to him. Shi Yanei was short of manpower. He basically used the temporary resting place for the whaling ship, but he didn't know that now the overseas enclave has gradually become a noose tied to the neck of Japanese traders...
"In Yizhou, birds do not lay eggs, so it takes a lot of effort to run it. You plan to send someone, hehe, there are mountains and rivers, don't get out of control." Shi Yanei said casually: "Yeah, Juren Fang has removed it, and the rest is Miss Suzhen's business. Be careful. I want to clean up the East China Sea these days, and I'm afraid I won't care about the matter in Haizhou."
"Yizhou is a good place," Shideng Shaoshou mentioned: "Our industries are both in business, but the grain is careless. The rice in Yizhou is ripe three times a year, and the journey is close, and you can go back and forth in three days. Now there are thirty or forty fast sailboats under your name. This kind of small fast boat is only used on coastal patrols. It is a waste. If they can keep them in constant flow between Yizhou and Haizhou, then it will be a good use.
The fast sailing ship carries for 40 or 50 materials (twenty or thirty tons), and sails to Yizhou in one and a half days, loads the grain and returns, plus the unloading time, which is only one trip every five days. In this way, even if a great famine occurs, we will not have to worry about food in the future. The grain sales in Yizhou are good, and it is cooked three times a year, and it can only be used to produce grain to exchange for the needed materials. Naturally, some people are willing to immigrate. Yizhou has developed, and we have an additional granary and an additional way out of retreat. Wouldn't it be great?"
When Shi Yanei heard this, he immediately replied: "I'll listen to you. When I look back, I will send the housekeeper to move some people to Yizhou Island and build a Wanqing Manor..."
"Yes, the best way to control Yizhou Island is to send more people and control the territory. It is a homeless land, and the size of the land we want to circle. In addition, I heard that there are cannibals there, and the tenants who moved there will inevitably be armed. The road is not a good place to train the army, and no one cares about the cannons on Yizhou Island. What a great thing?"
Shi Chuan was immersed in his imagination, and Shi Yanei reminded again: "Okay, this matter is settled. I will pack my luggage first, send a housekeeper to explore the road with your people, and then send the old and weak out of the family to farm... This is Miss Chu's business, please hurry up."
Shi Chuan bowed and said goodbye to Shi Yanei and replied: "It has been launched. I have started to create public opinion these days. When I finish the work here, I will go back to the city to preside over this matter... Alas, I have a rare time to have a free life."
These days, there are busy people and idle people. When he was in the yard, he lame with one leg and blinded, Young Master Hai moved a recliner and sat leisurely in front of the steaming winery to bask in the sun. The maid Indira knelt on the side of the small coffee table in front of the recliner, and with dance-like movements, he made a rhythmic wine for Young Master Hai.
It was a glass of foaming light blue wine. Mr. Hai looked at Indira with admiring eyes and put a red cherry in the cup. He nodded with satisfaction and asked calmly when he walked over with his hands behind his back: "Have you succeeded?"
Shi Chuan nodded and ordered Indira: "Go and move a recliner."
Indira blessed the etiquette of the Song people, and trotted away, looking at his back, Shi Chuan shook his head and rushed to the sea--now Li Dalang said: "You shouldn't have been used to you sooner or later."
"Oh," Li Dalang lazily reached out to grab the glass of wine: "Take it, this is the mint wine I made. It was made in the past, and the taste was always not authentic. This year, it was finally the right taste... Ha, in this lonely world, I finally enjoyed it a little, why give up? Besides, what if I am recognized, what can I do? You have the final say in the whole Cuizhuang now, right?"
Shi Chuan followed the topic and pointed at Indira who was walking up the lounge chair and asked, "Did she recognize you?"
"No, my appearance has changed so much. Who can know that I am the past Hai Wuya except you?" Mr. Hai took a sip of wine and replied leisurely: "We got together because she thinks I am very familiar with me, as if I had seen it in my previous life. Is it interesting?...ah, it's the brewing season again. What are you going to do this year?"
Shi Chuan interrupted Mr. Hai's imagination with a smile: "I'm afraid you won't be able to stay for long. I have arranged four housekeepers, with 400 farmers and 200 scouts, waiting for you at Zuoxie Street Wharf. The ship and cargo are already in place. Shi Yanei sets off today, so you can go together."
Mr. Hai smiled, still in a lazy expression: "It's okay, people like us don't need luggage anywhere. You can walk by patting your butt. When you leave, you can just call me."
Shi Chuan immediately said, "You can take Indira with you."
"What a pity." In front of Indira, Mr. Hai was not afraid of it. He smiled and watched Indira put down the lounge chair, and gently knelt in front of the coffee table to start mixing with him. He said lightly: "This is a woman trained by the Arab harem. The taste is particularly different. Well, aren't you teaching those girls? Let her be a teacher, and those girls in your family will definitely be up to the next level."
"You'd better use it," Shi Chuan replied casually: "I don't like to use second-hand goods."
"Okay", Mr. Hai stood up straight: "Now, leave, Indira, clean up and follow me... Don't worry, I will train an Indian harem maid who understands Songyu in a year, which is definitely the original one."
After walking a few steps, Mr. Hai stopped and asked, "I'm very curious - how much did you gain this time?"
"All the land under the name of the Fang family belongs to me." Shi Chuan's expression was not very happy, as if this was a very common thing: "The Zhao family who was implicated was left with only a few children from the side branches who were not investigated. Most of the land had been confiscated by the government. In terms of the government, I had brought the contract to the county magistrate Meng to the county to stamp the official seal, and the rest was to pay the money.
In the future, the Fang family courtyard will be converted into the troupe training headquarters. Some of the houses will be demolished, and those destroyed by the war will not be repaired. I will leave the venue to build a playground. I will store the remaining houses. As for the Fang family workshop, I will use it as a troupe training workshop. The original workers in the workshop will be exiled according to the government's wishes. I plan to arrange them for Shi Yanei and ask him to send them to Yizhou Island to farm on a boat.
As for the Zhao family courtyard..."
Mr. Hai chuckled: "I want to remind you of this - never share the Zhao family courtyard with the children of the Zhao family's side branches. In this clan society, do you think that if you share the courtyard that does not belong to them to the children of the side branches, will they thank you?
No, anyone who lives in that yard will take it as his responsibility to revive the clan. Even if they gain benefits from you, they will never thank you. They will also regard you as an enemy and a mortal enemy, as if this can show the legitimacy of their living in the Zhao family compound - this has always been like this for thousands of years."
"Yes, thank you for your reminder," Shi Chuan's eyes suddenly became very sharp: "Shi Yanei repeatedly said: As long as you are for grudges, you will never be soft-hearted. It's funny that I actually soft-hearted for a moment. Don't worry, I happened to sell this Zhao family yard to County Magistrate Meng, which is also a reward for his help."
The house was sold to the Meng County Magistrate, which was considered a big banner. After the Meng County Magistrate got this house, could he allow the villagers to question the "occupation" of the time?
Mr. Hai pulled his feet and left: "Since you understand, I'll leave with confidence."
Shi Chuan bowed: "I won't give it to you."
After saying goodbye to Mr. Hai, he went to the whole thing leisurely. He picked up the wine that had just been prepared in Indira and tasted it. It tasted pretty good, but it seemed that there was a variety of mint wine in the Song Dynasty. Mr. Hai made this thing in the Song Dynasty, which was not original.
This is an era of innovation.
Putting down the wine glass, Shi Chuan remembered Mr. Hai's words just now, and called several servants to come over and asked, "It seems that it is the brewing season again. Is the home ready?"
The big stove in charge of winemaking replied: "Owner, the grapes from Baihu Mountain have just been planted this year and cannot bear fruit. But we have built three steaming wine shops in Baihu Mountain. Now those wine stoves have already made fires. Collect the wild fruits in the countryside and can also deal with the past year's winemaking season.
As for our orchard, it was very cold last winter and had severe drought in summer, and many fruit trees had frozen to death. Zhuangtou (Mushun) means that we will slow down this year, update the fruit trees, and wait until they are built again next year."
Shizhan pointed to the mint wine in front of him: "It doesn't have to be a fruit wood to make wine. Look, mint can also be eaten... When Li Dalang was thinking about this wine, did you all see it?"
Dazhao bowed: "Li Dalang did not avoid others, this wine was still the fire I made."
Shi Chuan waved his hand: "Then go and tell the shop to see if you can buy some mint. Let's make a sauna and brew wine... Oh, you can also buy wild fruits from Sixiang, and you can't lack this year."
The stove smiled awkwardly: "Owner, Zhuangtou went to the city two days ago..."
Shiteng slapped his forehead and then he remembered that according to the new industrial adjustment plan, Mushun would sit in Jinxiu Street, in charge of Zuoxiu Street, Jinxiu Street and the operation of the fleet. Since solving the hidden dangers in the village, everything in the village has been on track, the workshop business is managed by the shopkeeper, and the farm work in the fields is skillfully worried about the farming work. The professional managers in the Song Dynasty were very high in quality, and this was a society of integrity, so they could let the people below do it. On the contrary, there were many things in the city, and there was no one who could take charge of the general manager.
"By the way, look for Mo Shao," Shi Chuan slapped his forehead and remembered this big girl. Huang E and Huan Niang are urbanites. They are greedy for the prosperity of the city and do not want to live in the countryside. Instead, Mo Shao likes to stay in the countryside and likes the purity of the countryside. Now, Mo Shao is basically taking care of Shiyuan in Cuizhuang. When Mu Shun leaves, many powers should be transferred to Mo Shao.
"I'm afraid Miss Mo Shao won't want to do it." A crisp sound came from Cui Xiaoqing. She was dressed in red, dressed very festively, wearing a full set of gold jewelry on her head, and under the sun, she looked like a bright little star. She only listened to lifting her handkerchief and said meaningfully: "This is not right, not right... Cough, Dalang, I have bought a banquet. You have been busy for a while and you can't rest at night. Now the matter is finally over, let's have a cup of wine together."
The winemaker and servants looked at Cui Xiaoqing's red dress, and his chin was almost falling off. Shi Chuan couldn't help but feel strange when he saw everyone's surprised eyes - this red dress... The Song Dynasty also used the red dress to wear purple clothes, right? Cui Xiaoqing was so confused that what kind of wine was drinking?
