Infrastructure: I survive in troubled times

Chapter 498 Insatiable Greed
The weather was sunny and sunny, and Hong Lianshuo rode a horse and took people to the beach.

Patriarch Yang stood on the beach and saw Hong Lianshuo coming on horseback from a distance, with a smile on his face, watching her get off the horse and go up to her, cupped her hands and saluted, "Ms. Hong."

Hong Lianshuo handed the reins and whip to Mo Sanya who was behind him, bowed his hands and said back, "Patriarch Yang."

"Why are you here?" Patriarch Yang looked at her happily and said.

"Come here after finishing the family business." Hong Lianshuo looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "What about Dahai and the others? Why are you alone!"

"They're all busy at the shipyard!" Patriarch Yang pointed to the back of the village and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see it."

"Okay!" Hong Lianshuo looked back at Mo Sanya and the others and said, "You set up camp, I'll go and have a look."

"Yes!" Mo Sanya and the others bowed their hands together.

Hong Lianshuo turned his head to look at Patriarch Yang and said, "Patriarch Yang, let's go!"

"Please!" Patriarch Yang gestured sideways.

The two walked towards the back of the village and walked on the narrow mountain road, "Is the village so quiet? Spring plowing is over?"

"It hasn't started yet!" Patriarch Yang looked at her in astonishment and said, "While there is still time, the children are reading and learning in the ancestral hall! My daughter's family is busy with spring planting."

"Didn't you start?" Hong Lianshuo looked at him with raised eyebrows and said.

"That's right! We planted melons and beans before and after Qingming, and it's not Qingming yet!" Patriarch Yang said with a chuckle.

"Oh!" Hong Lianshuo nodded lightly, "Isn't spring plowing a man's business?"

"The preparatory work before going to the field, picking and soaking seeds...is done by women." Patriarch Yang was taken aback when he heard this, and then explained seriously.

"Oh!" Hong Lianshuo stroked his forehead and smiled, "Thank you for your advice."

"Where, where, you are a person who does great things." Patriarch Yang complimented with a smile.

Hong Lianshuo looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "We've already cultivated the seedlings and are planning to transplant them. Pick a cloudy day these days, and it's best if it rains."

"Miao?" Patriarch Yang, who had been diverted from the topic, looked at her in surprise and said, "Where can we plant them in such a cold day!"

"The nursery is in the house!" Hong Lianshuo looked at him with crooked eyes and said.

Patriarch Yang slapped his forehead and said, "Why didn't I think of that."

"It wasn't that warm in the room before!" Hong Lianshuo said while looking at him with his head slightly tilted.

"Yes!" Patriarch Yang said with a smile upon hearing this.

"Have you had a good year?" Hong Lianshuo looked at him with dark jade-like eyes and asked.

"Okay, okay!" Patriarch Yang said with a bright smile, "This year is warm, and there is no shortage of food. I'm already getting fat."

"Did you lack food before? It's close to the sea, didn't you dry the fish?" Hong Lianshuo looked him up and down, and he was indeed pale and fat.

"Dried fish is also dried, but not as much as this year, except for what you took away. We still have a lot left, and two meals a day are no problem." Patriarch Yang looked at her with a smile and said.

"Not much fishing now, right?" Hong Lianshuo raised his eyes to look at the cotton-like white cloud and said.

"It hasn't really warmed up yet, it'll be just around Grain Rain." Patriarch Yang nodded and said, "At that time, the fish came to lay eggs, and there were more fish than we had last autumn."

Hong Lianshuo understood that what he was talking about was that during the spring fishing season, the fish return to the place where they regularly lay eggs.

"The days are coming soon, less than a month." Hong Lianshuo thought about it seriously and said.

"The fish is the most delicious at this time." Patriarch Yang smacked his lips and said, "There are also many types of seafood, very fresh, and the taste is good when eaten raw."

"It's better not to eat it raw." Hong Lianshuo said immediately after hearing the words.

"The boats used to go out to sea were small, and there was no way to eat them raw. Now the boats are big, and we cook them and eat them cooked." Patriarch Yang said kindly after hearing the words.

"No change in the county?" Hong Lianshuo asked with concern, "Is Haiwazi okay?"

"I'll go back to the county after the new year." Patriarch Yang withdrew his smile and looked at her with a dark face and said, "The county magistrate won't care what Haiwa does as long as he pays the money on time?"

"Look at you, the county magistrate has a dark heart! He has increased the amount of money." Hong Lianshuo looked at him with dark eyes and said.

"No, no." Patriarch Yang said guiltyly avoiding her sight.

"Patriarch Yang, I can't help you if you do this." Hong Lianshuo stopped and looked at him seriously and said.

"It's not that I don't tell you, how can you help me? People only recognize money but not people!" Patriarch Yang looked at her helplessly and said.

"Tell me! How much have you improved?" Hong Lianshuo looked at him with dark eyes like ink and said.

"Well! Another [-]% increase, and now the fishermen in the fish market are full of complaints." Patriarch Yang looked at her with a livid face and said, "Actually, his ultimate goal is to force the fishermen to go into the sea to catch beads, but now the water is so cold, go down Catching a cold and getting sick can kill you."

"This..." Hong Lianshuo pondered for a moment, looked at him and said, "I'll try it in the water."

"Don't, don't, don't." Patriarch Yang waved his hands vigorously.

"I'm still swimming in winter! Now this water is nothing?"

Hong Lianshuo looked at him with a smile like a spring breeze on his face and said, "Really, I won't lie to you."

"No! I know you can do it." Patriarch Yang looked at her seriously and said, "What she wants is not ordinary pearls, but the egg-sized pearl we sent up."

He said angrily, "How can this thing be available every day! It's so valuable if it's everywhere!"

"Then what is Haiwazi going to do? Faced with the county magistrate's pressing approach." Hong Lianshuo looked at him worriedly and said.

"Let's procrastinate first! Let's talk about it when the weather gets warmer." Patriarch Yang said weakly.

"Procrastinate? How long can we procrastinate?" Hong Lianshuo looked at him with a slight frown and said, "Even if we procrastinate until summer, we can go into the water and still not get pearls!"

"We'll talk about it later? Otherwise, what else can we do? The greedy bastard." Patriarch Yang said angrily, "I thought that bead would keep the big guy safe for two years! It turned out that it was less than half a year."

"Tell Haiwazi not to mess up, and don't do stupid things." Hong Lianshuo looked at him with deep eyes and said.

She can't say what she will do. It's not because she doesn't believe Patriarch Yang's character, but because it's a military secret, keep it secret!
"I know." Patriarch Yang nodded and said, "Drag it until you can go into the water."

At that time, it was almost the same time. She originally planned to do it before the summer harvest.

During the conversation, the two walked to the back of the village. Hong Lianshuo stared dumbfounded at the rows of two-story wooden boats on the beach, and ran over, "Why are there so many?"

After counting, there were more than twenty ships, which was far beyond her imagination.

"Didn't you say there's only one boat in two or three months?" Hong Lianshuo said, patting the hull of the boat. Standing on the beach, she was able to photograph less than half of the hull. This boat is much bigger.
