The wind blows from the South Sea

Chapter 64 I can’t trust them

Among the 225 people who arrived at the port this time, excluding 33 people from Huang Yishun's group, there were still 192 people, most of whom were neighbors or members of the Feng clan.

In addition to arranging some female family members to help in the Feng family mansion, some smart young people were also selected to go to Jinyu Tower, Nanyang Daily Necessities Store and other shops to work with them and learn to manage business.

The remaining 141 people, after resting for a few days in Surabaya City, walked to the Landoshan Mine to participate in closed military training.

Feng Guohui was not one to raise good-for-nothings with good things. Each of these people owed him a large amount of money and they had to work hard to repay it.

Unknowingly, the number of men under Nanyang Company has exceeded 2,000, and the troops are gradually getting stronger.

South of the city, the Feng family mansion

The Feng family mansion is a typical six-entry courtyard, with left and right side courtyards and a large back garden. Next to the Feng family mansion is the ancestral hall and a family temple. Dozens of shops and houses around it belong to the Feng family.

Nowadays, these small and medium-sized houses are allocated to the backbone of Nanyang Company, including the captain, squad leader, shop owner, master and the family members of the Feng family.

When his second uncle Feng Zhaoliang arrived here, he was assigned a small courtyard with two entrances. There were also two beautiful women, Chun Hua and Xia He, who took care of the room.

They were the dead women in Shuifang. Feng Guohui never touched them. When his second uncle came, he just gave them to him to pass on some heirs to the Feng family.

Of course, only the second uncle Feng Zhaoliang enjoys such generous treatment, and no one else does.

This place belongs to the south of the city, called Chemalide Street, just near Milo Street.

Since the big guys from Nanyang Company moved in, their influence has also extended to the south of the city. On Chemalide Street, especially near the Feng family mansion, it has basically fallen under the control of Nanyang Company.

There were more than a hundred capable guards who followed Feng Guohui into the mansion. They also had an important task, which was to guard the warehouse in the side yard.

There are many restaurants, restaurants and teahouses here. Some captains, squad leaders and their subordinates often come to Chemalide Street to gather with their friends in their spare time.

The Feng family's mansion is not far from the Qiao family's mansion, only seven or eight hundred meters away. It is farther from the Lin family's old residence.

Three big houses in the south of the city

The Qiao family mansion is located in the middle of the bustling Miluo Street, occupying almost half of the street. The scale and luxury of the mansion are second to none.

It is indeed the Chinese family with the deepest heritage in Surabaya City, and their appearance is extraordinary.

The Feng family mansion is located in the east, a little remote. After leaving the city and continuing 5 to 6 kilometers east, you will arrive at Huangjiagang. Shipping goods does not need to pass through the city.

The Lin family's old house is located in the west. The several houses of the family are scattered around. The scale of the old house is not large, showing a restrained style.

After entering March, the rainfall in Surabaya City decreased significantly, entering the traditional dry season.

The most significant change is that the climate is getting hotter.

In the Qiao family's inner house

Feng Guohui hugged Zheng Xiang'er's limp body and slept until daylight. He felt the woman in his arms twisting like a snake, and then he stretched out and woke up.

"What's wrong... If you are not stable early in the morning, do you want to be punished by the master?"

"No, this bitch can't bear it anymore."

Thinking of being tortured by the aggressive master for half a night, Zheng Xiang'er shrank tiredly, hid her little head in Feng Guohui's strong chest, and begged for mercy tremblingly.

The Wan Gong bed carved from rosewood is decorated with exquisite dragon, phoenix and swastika patterns. Several layers of bed lattice are stacked together, just like an exquisite wooden house covering an area of ​​more than ten square meters.

Hearing the noise coming from the master bed, Xue'er, who was sleeping on the side couch, quickly got up, used a gold-plated copper basin to fetch hot water and towels, and cleaned Master Feng Guohui's face and wiped his lower body.

Wenjun and Xiaotuanzi from the outer room also came over after hearing the sound and brought warm water for the master to wash up and use some hot tea.

Enjoying the service of his beautiful concubine, Xiao Feng raised his head in anger and looked ferocious when touched.

After all, his young body was full of vitality, but he became restless after simply cleaning his lower body.

The several personal concubines were well aware of his power, but they still blushed with embarrassment, but they kept helping the master get up early and change clothes. There was no trace of hope in their hearts?

In the past, when the master got up in the morning, he would be in high spirits and drag a few girls into a ball...

Feng Guohui was much more reserved today. After changing his clothes, he drank a cup of hot tea and then stood up and walked out.

The deeper he goes into this despicable feudal backward era, the more he understands;

These little girls all covet the master's body, so they can't give it to them easily, because it's so valuable!

A moment later

Second uncle Feng Zhaoguang was sitting in the front hall drinking tea. He had been waiting here for a long time.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he quickly stood up. When he saw Feng Guohui striding in, he took the lead and said with a smile;

"Hui Zi, look at how radiant your face is. You must have had a good rest last night. The younger generation is indeed very generous."

"Uncle, you are not bad, you have some flesh on your face again."

"There is fish and meat. Thanks to Hui Zai, I can eat well and don't have to worry. Will Zhong Hui gain meat?" "Hahaha... The good times are yet to come. Breakfast is ready. Uncle and I will eat it while we have fish and meat." Let's chat." Feng Guohui smiled, ordered the maids to set the table, waved Feng Zhaoguang with his hand, and sat down first.

Breakfast was already prepared. After hearing the master's instructions, it was served like water and the table was quickly filled.

Surabaya, located in the tropics, has flowers all year round, and a large vase is placed in the middle of the dining table.

The flowers just picked in the morning are placed in the vase. The stamens still contain crystal morning dew, blooming with a leisurely fragrance.

The staple food on the table is white rice porridge, fried dough sticks, hot steamed buns and fried meat patties, various delicious side dishes, and two boiled large shrimps with their heads removed.

Each large shrimp is as thick as an arm, with snow-white meat and elastic texture. It is served on a large exquisite porcelain plate.

At this time, Feng Guohui was hungry. After taking a sip from the porridge bowl, he grabbed the big lobster and started to bite into it. This was his favorite delicacy.

While he was eating, he also signaled to his second uncle Feng Zhaoguang to be polite and eat a little to cushion his meal.

Surabaya Port is rich in all kinds of large lobsters, as well as shrimps as long as arms. There are countless lobsters in the shallow sea beach, and they taste extremely plump and sweet.

It requires almost no dipping sauce when cooked. It is a natural delicacy and is now a frequent guest on the Feng family’s dining table.

After killing a large lobster weighing five pounds, Feng Guohui wiped his hands and mouth with a warm towel, then took a sip from the porridge bowl, ate some side dishes and said;

"Uncle, I have too many things on my plate right now. It would be great if you came here. You can help me share some of them."

"No problem, where am I? Can't you write two characters "Feng" in one stroke? Who will help you if I don't help you? Just ask."

"Okay, let's not talk about it as a family. The construction site on the seaside is a place that I attach great importance to. Especially the 7-star fortress. In the future, we plan to build a fort on it to block the Surabaya Strait." Feng Guohui held the bowl and drank slowly. While eating porridge and side dishes, he expressed his thoughts.

He said;

“The ports and fortresses on the seaside are related to the future foundation of Nanyang Company, and they must be completed as soon as possible.

to be frank

I can't trust the red ghost guy, nor can I trust these Chinese leaders in Surabaya City. When will Zhong Zhi stab him in the back?

Nanyang Company has made a lot of money, and many people are jealous.

Naturally, all kinds of thoughts arise. Can you tell the difference between a person in front of you and a ghost behind your back?

Regardless of how many branches Nanyang Company has set up, opened lumber mills, and built docks, business is booming.

After all, the foundation is too thin and the time is short. Many dangerous signs have already been exposed.

The reason why I am not in a hurry to open up a new trade route on the western front is that I want to stabilize it first.

First, we need to thoroughly understand the current territory. The dock fortress is built, the new trade route south is stabilized, and the internal personnel are sorted out, so that we can focus on the next step.

Second uncle, since you are here, please help me seize the seaside project. The Seven Star Fortress must be built to high standards as soon as possible. This is the most important thing at the moment. "

After hearing Feng Guohui's solemn explanation, his second uncle Feng Zhaoguang quickly stuffed the remaining shrimp meat into his mouth, chewed it for a few mouthfuls and swallowed it before saying;

"Don't worry Huizi, I will live at the seaside construction site from now on and keep an eye on the progress of the project for you every day.

I have been fighting for so many years, and I have seen a lot about the Fort and Fortress, and I know what to do.

Among the neighbors I brought this time, there were also a few experienced masons. I took them with me to discuss more and try my best to get this done.

I went to the construction site by the seaside yesterday. The two new brick kilns are almost ready.

Let them rush to work in the past few days. The three brick kilns will produce materials at the same time. There will be no shortage of materials to build the Seven-Star Fortress. The general appearance will be ready in two or three months. "

"Well, I'll rest assured if I leave it to you." Feng Guohui nodded, and then said; "I will take a few blacksmiths to the Landa Mountain Mine in the afternoon, and I estimate that I will stay there for about ten days. The territory in the city I will leave it to Zheng Xiucai for the time being. If there is any emergency, I will fly right over to report it."

"You go and do important things, and my second uncle will keep an eye on it for you. I will also tell Ah Cai and the others to pay more attention, and report any trouble."

"That's good! A few more eyes will be more stable." Feng Guohui nodded and said, picking up the bun and biting most of it in one bite. The gravy inside the bun was mixed with the fragrant flavor, and it was really delicious.

After eating a few more steamed buns and fried dough sticks, and two bowls of porridge, Feng Guohui put down the bowl with satisfaction and ate a few pieces of fruit for dessert.

after breakfast

He told his second uncle Feng Zhaoguang some things that needed attention, then let him go and hurried to the seaside to supervise the construction site.

Not long after

Feng Guohui looked up and down quickly, pulled out a white horse, turned on it, led Chen Yong and other cavalry members who had been waiting here, and rushed out with a roar of horses.

The direction of progress is to the Landa Mountain Mine northwest of Surabaya City.

The Landoshan Mine now has nearly 800 people gathered together. It is the main mobile armed force in Feng Guohui's hands. It is impossible for him not to care.
