After evacuating the enemy's warehouse, carry supplies through the disaster year

Chapter 43
Ziyu, who didn't come home all night, didn't know that because of her absence, Xiao Luo was hoarse from crying, and dragged Hong Feiyang to find her brother.

Hong Feiyang only knew that Ziyu had rented a large yard, but he didn't know the exact location, so he could only go to Chen Zhongren after dawn with Xiao Luo in his arms to ask what happened.

Therefore, when Chen Zhongren brought a group of people over, there were one big and one small.

"elder brother!"

Having not seen her only relative all night, Xiao Luo, who cried so much that her throat hurt, threw herself into Ziyu's arms, hugged her neck, and tears began to fall again, big and small.

"Xiao Luo, why are you crying again!
My brother forgot to ask someone to bring a message back when he was busy, and he won't do it in the future.

Be good, don't cry! "

Hearing the little cry bag's voice became hoarse, Ziyu blamed herself a little.

I don't know how many times the little guy cried when she was not at home.

"Brother... liar!" Xiao Luo said aggrievedly.

"Brother, that's a last resort, and I don't really want to lie to you.

My brother hugs you and buys someone to see if you like it. "

"No, as long as brother!"

The little guy who was lying motionless on his neck turned his head and didn't look at him out of breath.

"Okay, if you don't look at it, don't look at it!"

Seeing this, Chen Zhongren took the initiative to introduce the 40 people he had brought to Ziyu.

"My lord, these are selected according to your request." Chen Zhongren shouted at the four rows of people who were standing.

"Everyone stands up, and each introduces his specialties, starting with the first one."

"Shi San, it's a mason."

"Little grass, can weave cloth."

……

Ziyu's scrutinizing gaze scanned the 40 people back and forth, she was a little thinner, but still healthy, she said with her lips slightly open.

"Someone whose family members sold themselves together stood up."

"My lord, please buy my family!" Sheng Xing, a middle-aged man, stepped out and bowed, pleading.

"Your name is Shengxing! Why did you get sold?"

"Master Hui, I am the second steward of the former master's house.

The brother-in-law of the big housekeeper wanted to be in the position, and he was greedy for dirty words. He didn't even have a chance to defend himself, and all five members of his family were sold out.

I hope the son can buy my family. The youngest daughter is five years old and has learned embroidery from her mother.

My wife is in the team, her name is Liu Ye, and she used to be in charge of sewing in Fuchu. "

A haggard middle-aged woman in the queue came out and knelt down in front of Ziyu with a plop, looking at Ziyu beggingly with slightly swollen eyes.

"Young master, please buy my family!

We can do anything, we will be very obedient, and we don't want to be separated from our three children. "

After Ziyu asked carefully, she knew that the whole family could read some words. The two sons were 15 years old and 12 years old.

"Get up!" Ziyu said without changing her expression, if she wanted to buy it together, she had to see if it would be useful.

"Chen Zhongren, ask someone to bring her three children to have a look."

"Thank you, son!"

The two were grateful, seeing that their master's family was unwilling to have a five-year-old daughter, but they were unwilling to be separated from each other.

After suffering a lot, the family was not sold separately, so naturally I am very grateful to Ziyu.

Although it has not been bought yet, it gave them hope.

In the end, Ziyu bought five skilled craftsmen, including the woman named Xiaocao who could weave cloth.

There are five members in Shengxing's family, two cooks, two maids, and two servants.

Five peasant women and two middle-aged men are slightly disabled, but it does not affect their lives.

23 people spent a total of 835 taels of silver. Because Ziyu was named obsolete, they all kept their original names.

Chen Zhongren had to run errands about going to slavery, Ziyu said to the newly appointed butler Sheng Xing.

"Take the two of you down the street and buy each of you two changes of clothes."

Ziyu presumably gave three silver ingots of ten taels, Sheng Xing probably chose one of the servants to go with a middle-aged man in order to avoid suspicion.

Ziyu wasn't worried that the three of them would run away. People who were enslaved were equivalent to people without status. As long as they were caught, they would die, unless they hid in remote places.

"Brother Hong, go and drive out all the mule carts at home."

"Okay, I'll be here in a while."

Hong Feiyang cast a warning glance at the servants present, his vicious look made several timid women shrink their necks in fright.

When the 23 servants had packed up, Ziyu asked Hong Feiyang to drive the mule cart directly to the embankment wharf to board the boat, and notified Wang Xingwang to bring someone to carry the goods.

The boatmen on the ship are hired to move the goods, of course they have to be paid, otherwise no one will do it for nothing.

...

Two days later, all the supplies in the big yard and the newly bought servants were all on board.

In the small rented courtyard, Mrs. Chen cleaned up so much that she didn't even leave a pair of chopsticks, and the house was empty except for the original landlord's things.

A group of people who didn't know their future all followed Ziyu on board, betting their future on this young master.

...

Ziyu stood at the bow of the boat, watching Qingyang Mansion, where she had lived for more than half a year, slowly go away.

Three medium-sized ships loaded with food and various living supplies sailed through the wind and waves from the inland river to the southeast sea, and then to the west sea.

Perhaps because of good luck, the sun was shining early in the morning.

The waves are shining, the breeze is blowing, and the boat is on a long voyage.

The happiest person on this trip is Old Man Tie, because this moment indicates that he is getting closer and closer to home.

The old man Tie, who has been wandering for many years, has been in contact with people from different places in Ziyu's family, and after a period of contact, he feels warmth everywhere.

Accustomed to the indifference of the world, Old Man Tie rekindled his confidence in life.

Wang Xingwang, who knew the destination of the trip, admired Ziyu standing at the bow of the boat.

"Brother Ziyu, you are a dragon and a phoenix among men, you dare to take risks.

I can't do it anymore, I am old and have a family, so I dare not face those unknown things. "

"Brother Wang, don't you also have an adventurous spirit?

Sometimes it's not a bad thing to live in a corner, let Xiao Luo go out to make a living when he is older.

I still like to live in seclusion, and I am not interested in worldly disputes. "

Ziyu pointed at the boat again, which was self-evident.

To Wang Xingwang's ears, it was old-fashioned, like a wise man who had read all the prosperity of the world and wanted to retire.

"Haha, compared to my little brother, I'm still far behind.

Although the profit of running sea freight is considerable, the risk is too great, and I have regretted my original choice.

Now I have to bite the bullet and go on. There are more and more ships entering the industry, and the business is not so easy to do. "

Ziyu listened to Wang Xingwang's complaints and didn't take it seriously. The greater the risk, the profit will also increase exponentially.

Just like when she bought gems in Shangdufu, she went to Yundu to sell them alone, and the profit she got was dozens of times.

That sum of money just served as a cover for the purchase of the village, and it can be regarded as experiencing the fun of being a traitor in this ancient time.

If it wasn't for the space to cover, just being followed along the way would be enough to annoy her.

"To be honest, there are bandits on the sea from time to time, so that a single ship like ours dare not go to sea easily." Wang Xingwang looked at the calm water and said worriedly.

He still doesn't know where to go next time, and he intends to go closer to the sea, but the Wang family blocks sales.

Unable to find a way out, he had no choice but to take a drastic drudgery and take his family away.

The big deal is to live in a remote place like a little brother.
