Late Qing Dynasty Executioner

Chapter 45 Growing up

All the supplies on the warships have been transferred to the small fishing boats, and those that could not be loaded have been moved down and placed on the beach.

At this time, everyone was sitting together in groups of three or four, chatting and resting. Everyone had a smile on their face. Although four people died and five were injured, the huge gain was worth it.

The dead did not lose out either, as they could at least leave three hundred taels of silver to their families, which was a sum of money that they would find difficult to earn in their entire lives. Being able to leave such a large sum of money to their parents meant that they had repaid their parents for their upbringing even after their death.

"Chen Gu, go and say a few words to the brothers!" Liu Er said to Chen Gu.

Chen Gu nodded. He knew that Liu Er was paving the way for him. At this time, whoever spoke to the brothers would represent the leader of everyone.

Chen Gu didn't ask everyone to line up or anything. He simply took a few steps forward, came to the middle of the crowd, and raised his voice to shout.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Chen Gu glanced at everyone one by one, "First of all, I would like to thank you brothers for your trust and hard work. Under the leadership of Lao Shaking Head, we have made this deal.

Although some brothers were injured or killed, fortunately the result was gratifying and the harvest was great, so the casualty compensation will be doubled, and the silver promised to the brothers in advance will also be fully redeemed.

In addition, we used this warship to exchange a piece of land with the Bian family, a piece of land surrounded by mountains and with 10,000 acres of fertile farmland. In the future, brothers can live there and settle down, marry and have children. The place is just upstream of the Shitou River below, and can be reached in half a day.

Everyone cheered immediately. Mutton was a luxury for ordinary people in that era. At this time, mutton could be sold for about one hundred coins, and two sheep would always cost three or five taels of silver.

"Wow!"

"Thank you, Shao Shantou!"

Of course, everyone has emergencies. If you really need money to spend, we will not be unkind. For example, if you want to send some silver to your home, we will send someone to deliver it to your home based on how many years you have been away, with a limit of ten taels of silver per year.

None of these people have the habit of drinking. It’s not that they don’t want to drink, but they simply can’t afford to drink often, and alcohol is also very expensive.

"But we are still in the danger period, so don't drink too much. Just have a bowl of rice wine each. And try to drink less in the future.

Our business is very big, so the situation will be very tense in the next period of time. In order to ensure everyone's safety, the money cannot be distributed to you immediately."

It’s okay for three or five friends to drink together, but don’t drink together, otherwise you will be caught by everyone and everything will be over! ” Chen Gu reminded.

In addition, if you build a house and marry a wife after arriving in Fobao, the village will also help arrange these things. The village will pay half of the expenses, and the rest will be deducted from your share. "

"it is good!"

"Okay, now let's transfer all the supplies and silver back to the Zhang family. The village will pay for two goats in the evening, and we will have mutton soup!" Chen Gu said loudly.

Ten taels of silver a year is already a lot. Too much may bring disaster to your family. I'm sure you are aware of this.

As expected, everyone was agitated. Chen Jue immediately raised his voice and shouted, "Of course, in order to compensate the brothers, the silver will be paid in two years, and you will be given a total of 50% interest at that time. In other words, the original 100 taels of silver will become 150 taels of silver in two years.

After listening to Chen Gu's explanation, everyone finally quieted down. As long as he didn't take their money, it would be fine. Besides, they could get an extra 50% interest in two years, which was still a good deal.

A bowl of rice wine would also be helpful, so everyone worked very hard when transporting the supplies. With eighty or ninety people and a small fishing boat to help, they transported all the supplies back to Zhang's house in two trips.

Two sheep may sound like a lot, but in fact they were not enough for so many people. They cooked dozens of kilograms of radishes and steamed a hundred kilograms of rice, but they were all eaten up.

After having a good meal and drinking, and arranging the people who would take turns to keep watch, everyone went to rest. Under the bright sunshine, on a meadow full of flowers, butterflies flew and danced, and birds sang like songs.

"Hehehe!"

Qin Ling and Wu Qing'er laughed like silver bells and chased butterflies on the grass.

The butterfly flew away, and the two girls blamed each other. Finally, they started to fight and slowly began to tear each other apart. Pieces of clothes flew off their bodies, revealing large areas of their bodies, and many parts of their bodies became hazy.

The worst part was that Wu Qing'er smiled charmingly at Chen Kuai and shouted, "Brother Kuai, come here and play with us!"

Chen Gu could no longer bear the sight of this. His breathing gradually became heavier. Finally, he let out a loud roar, gritted his teeth, and pounced towards the two women.

Soon, Chen Gu woke up after shivering, and in a daze he saw a pair of frightened eyes staring at him.

"Damn it!" Chen Gu was so scared that he punched him.

The other party reacted instantly, raised his arm to block Chen Gu's fist, and shouted strangely, "Boss, I'm Zhang San!"

Chen Gu was stunned and sat up to look around before he realized that he was at Zhang's house. Because there were too many people, they all used sugarcane leaves as a bed and then put a layer of straw on top and slept together.

"Boss, are you having a nightmare?" Zhang San asked carefully.

"I don't know, maybe, what do you mean?" Chen Gu asked.

"Just now you were laughing and breathing heavily, then you tossed and turned, and finally you started to tremble." Zhang San said.

"Haha!" A sneer came from the side, "Our young master is not having a nightmare, but he has grown up, so it should be a wet dream."

"Ha ha!"

Then there was a burst of laughter.

Chen Gu felt somewhat ashamed and even angry, but if he got angry at everyone because of something like this, it would be somewhat unkind and he would be looked down upon by others.

"What the hell are you laughing at, damn it!" Chen Gu cursed, then stood up and ran out. After only a few steps, his buttocks became sticky.

Finally, Chen Gu simply followed the moonlight and ran to the edge of the pond. With a "splash", he jumped in with his clothes on.

Half an hour later, the sky was slightly brightening. Chen Gui returned to Zhang's house wearing half-dry clothes, took his horse, and rode out the door.

"Where are you going?" Liu Er asked with a frown.

"I'm going back to the city first." Chen Gu shouted without turning his head.

"You didn't even eat breakfast?" Liu Er frowned even more. Seeing Chen Gu riding away on his horse, he couldn't help but curse, "What's wrong with you?"
