Chapter 467 Continue to buy land
"Over Xingji City, what has Miao Xia been doing recently?" Ren Ning asked again.

"Is the general's foster brother?" Zou Dahe smiled, "He's busy."

"While being wary of being watched by the all-pervasive Jin Linwei, he continued to inquire and collect information on various aspects of Xingji City. By the way, he even sent some gifts to his wife and son a few days ago."

Ok.

Knowing this, Ren Ning ordered: "There are people from us in Huayang County, let him find a way to buy the fields inside."

what?
Zou Dahe was a little dumbfounded by Ren Ning's rapid change of topic, unable to react for a while.

"What?" Ren Ning frowned, "The mansion can't come up with money?"

"That's not true." Zou Dahe pondered for a while.

"General, Huayang County is an upper-class county. Usually, almost no one will sell the land property in the county. If it is sold occasionally, the price will be quite exaggerated."

"Even if there are some landlords who want to sell their land at a low price because they are fleeing, if we want to buy all the land, it is estimated that the money in the house is really not enough."

Ren Ning laughed, "Of course I know this."

"Well, let's keep the silver taels that the mansion needs in the next year, and give all the rest to Miao Xia, so that he can give priority to buying the fields on both sides of the post road."

Zou Dahe is also a soldier, so he suddenly understood a little bit.

But he still hesitated for a while, "General, have you mentioned this to Madam?"

Huayang County is different from low-level small counties like Guangxin or Laigu. Even if the land is bought cheaply, the amount of silver consumed is definitely not a small sum.

"Yeah." Ren Ning nodded.

Now the general's mansion has quite a lot of land, and it can be said that it has almost bought two counties.

Although Yingpan didn't know why Ren Ning wanted to buy the land, she agreed without thinking about it, and even asked if there was enough money, if not, she could borrow some from Li Hezhu next door.

Zou Dahe heaved a sigh of relief.

"General, we do have a lot of places to spend money now, but fortunately rubber and newspapers come in quickly."

"As for Laigu, there is no rent for the time being, but it is not a bottomless pit. Laigu Laigu, it was originally a land of fish and rice. Now the post road in Miwu County has been repaired, as long as the wood and melons inside are transported out, It’s also a lot of numbers.”

"So money is not a problem."

"However," he hesitated, "Are you sure that Huayang County will not be continuously captured by Japanese pirates?"

If it has been occupied by Japanese pirates all the time, then the land deeds they bought will be a pile of waste money.

"Don't worry." Ren Ning patted him on the shoulder haha, "I know what to do, you can just do things."

When Zou Dahe heard this, he hurried away happily.

----

Huayang County.

There was panic everywhere.

A densely packed warship of Japanese pirates has appeared near Dinghai Wharf, and they are approaching the wharf aggressively.

Yesterday Wang Yuanwai gave a mysterious account of his journey, and the news that Huayang County was abandoned by Xingji City has now been spread among the various landlords, and all of them added fuel and vinegar to the truth. Even more outrageous.

Those who were planning to stay to see what was going on were also frightened by such and such news, and hurriedly packed up their belongings and prepared to leave.

At some point, some retrogrades appeared among the fleeing crowd.

They have various identities, such as businessmen, barefoot doctors, and even teachers who are good teachers, all of them are quietly buying land.

Landlords who are not members are worried about how to deal with those things that cannot be taken away.

Nowadays, it is not easy to hear that someone wants it, and they even let the housekeeper take the initiative to come to the door with the title deed.

Not to mention the sale of the land deed, they still asked with a calm face if they wanted to accept the grain in the warehouse.

Usually a full warehouse of grain is a huge fortune, but now that they are in a hurry to leave, those heavy and heavy grains have become a burden.

Landlords and gentry are still more willing to exchange them for light silver bills if someone wants them.

A young man on horseback saw this scene and ordered decisively, "As long as the price is right, I will accept all of them."

----

Dinghai Pier.

Deputy Zhang Yang didn't know what happened on the post road behind.

He stood on the watchtower, holding up the binoculars and staring coldly at the sea to the east.

The ten general-class ships on the sea were adjourned, and the densely packed battalion-class and team-class ships could not wait to come to the shore.

Boom boom boom.

A series of dull voices sounded.

The battleships rushing forward shook for a while, and soon stopped creaking.

blah blah.

The soldier with the bilge ran up the deck sweating profusely and came to Captain Akita.

"General, the Yunchui people put rocks or other anti-landing fortifications in the sea, and we didn't check for the time being that the ship hit the rocks and ran aground."

Akita was not surprised at all, "Is the bottom of the boat badly damaged?"

"Return to the general. Because the ship was not fast when it hit the rock, there was only one hole in the bottom of the ship, and the damage is not too big. As long as you give the engineers some time to repair it, I believe it will be repaired soon."

Haha.

Akita smiled and waved.

"General Doi told us to dock at all costs, and the ship will not be repaired."

"Give the order, continue to drive forward, no matter what rocks or anti-landing piles are directly hit, and hit a safe channel for the brother warships behind."

what?
The soldier in the bilge was dumbfounded, but the others obeyed Akita's order without hesitation.

wow wow wow.

The densely packed oars were pulled out again.

Kakaka.

A burst of keel groans sounded, and the Battle Battalion continued to drive westward tremblingly.

The engineers who were repairing the ship in the bilge would have expected such an encounter.

They saw a crash, and the hole in front of them was torn several times larger.

The fishy and salty seawater sprayed in all of a sudden, and the engineers and soldiers slipped, sucked into the sea in the blink of an eye and disappeared.

Akita on the deck didn't know the situation in the bilge, and even if he knew, he didn't care.

"Have you entered the range? If you enter, send out all the arrows and stones on the ship, regardless of the target."

The guard next to him wiped his sweat, "General, this place is still far from the shore, and the goddamn westerly wind is blowing, which makes the range of our weapons even closer, and the boat has to go on for a while to get it. "

It's just that there is a big hole in the bottom of the boat, and I don't know if the battalion-class ship can still float on the water at that time.

The voice of the guard did not fall.

A loud bang.

The half-sunken ship hit an anti-landing pile again, and the ship came to a complete stop after a sudden shake.

wow wow wow.

The sailors and soldiers ran from the cabin to the deck one after another, but all of them were soaked as if soaked in water.

The sea water at the end of October was icy cold, and the northwest wind blew, and these people suddenly shivered from the cold.

How to do?
Everyone looked at each other.

"Brothers," Akita stood up, pointing heavily at the coast not far in front of him, "the fertile continent is in front of us, for Yamato's 300 million fathers and folks who have nowhere to go, the time has come for us to be loyal to the Emperor. "

"Immediately put down the boats and rafts on the side of the ship, and everyone puts on their weapons and paddles westward. They can board as many as they can, and they are not allowed to retreat."

"Even if you die, you will die on the coast ahead."

"Yes!" Countless voices sounded.

This scene also appeared on many battalions and team levels near the Akita.
