The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 43 Huangjiashan Island
Huang Sheng immediately understood that in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cheng's Confucianism persecuted women too deeply, and women in this era pay attention to consistency.

When a man dies, even if the widow is still a virgin, she advocates not to marry again. The government will commend such a woman, give preferential treatment in all aspects, and play the chastity memorial archway bestowed by the imperial court.

There are many such women in the local area, which is one of the achievements of the serving parents and officials, which can be regarded as the contribution of enlightenment.

This Zhao Rui is the lady of the official family, whether she wants to or not, she must die for the whole festival, otherwise her relatives will not be able to hold their heads up.

Huang Sheng came from later generations, so of course he scoffed at such folk customs.

Zhao Rui didn't resign herself to depravity in order to earn a meager living and let Jiannu play with her. In fact, it is justifiable to survive. There is nothing to blame for this, as long as she doesn't work for a tiger, she can be forgiven.

From her repeated suicides several times, it can be seen that she was not afraid of death, but was forced to make ends meet for her younger brother.

How to dispel her worries so that she will never commit suicide again?Huang Sheng was using his brains to think of a way to save this desperate girl.

Zhao Shimin said: "My lord made everyone swear a poisonous oath. After we return to Daming, we will help your lord to do things, and follow your lord to beat Jiannu and avenge the 53 members of the Zhao family. Why do you want to die?"

Zhao Rui cried: "Elder sister can't bear to part with you either! But how can I live with face? Mmmmmmm..."

Huang Sheng had an idea and said: "Zhao Shimin, remember, Huang Dongshan, tell everyone that Zhao Shimin's sister has been thrown into the sea and died. He no longer has a sister."

Zhao Shimin was shocked and knelt down and kowtowed: "My lord, you must not just watch the little man's sister commit suicide! Help me, my lord..."

Huang Sheng said: "Zhao Rui, you are the maidservant I bought from Jiangnan, right? You saw that I rescued a child from Gaizhou, who looks very similar to your younger brother. From now on, you will be commensurate with his siblings, right?"

Zhao Rui, Zhao Shimin and Huang Dongshan were all stunned.

Huang Sheng said sadly again: "Zhao Rui, I need a lot of people around me to do things, I will continue to attack Jiannu, maybe I will die in the next battle, are you willing to do things for a desperate fool like me? "

Huang Sheng is too bad, he is a good cheater of women, he especially understands women's thoughts, he knows that women are soft-hearted, love heroes, and will sigh for tragic heroes, so he started to play the tragedy card.

Huang Sheng didn't wait for Zhao Rui's answer, and sang in an infinitely sad voice: "Don't you see, the Han Dynasty army, the weak crown is a prisoner, please Changying! Don't see you, Ban Dingyuan, Jueyu Qingqi urged Zhanyun! The man should be in a serious danger , How can the Confucian crown miss this life? The situation is that the country is in danger, and the feathers are fighting without stopping!  …”

This is a top-level good word, and it also confirms the situation in Liaodong, Ming Dynasty. The three of Zhao Rui understood it. The beauty is confused by the adult in front of her at this moment. How bitter the adult who is ready to go to the elegy anytime and anywhere must be, how much he must be helpless…….

The beauty cried, crying very happily, she is not Zhao Shimin's elder sister, she is a maid bought by the adults from far away in the south of the Yangtze River, she will not leave the adults in the future, her younger brother is the only survivor of the Zhao family, it will definitely not affect him future.

Zhao Rui choked up and said: "My lord, I am your servant, I will serve you seriously in the future, but I hope you will forgive me for being clumsy."

Huang Shengchang sighed: "You and I feel sorry for each other. My whole family of Huang's family died in the barren mountains. I can't sleep in the dead of night. The voices and smiles of my relatives always appear in my mind.

But I turned my longing for my relatives into strength, I didn't choose to escape, I cherished my life even more, because I wanted revenge, and I wanted to prevent the tragedy of the Huang family from happening again. "

Zhao Rui was so ashamed that she couldn't bear it, she said: "My lord, I understand, you have saved my family twice, my life is already yours, and I will follow you through life and death without frowning."

Zhao Shimin also said: "My lord, the villain is the same. In the future, the villain will learn to shoot and kill Jiannu to protect the adults."

Huang Sheng patted Zhao Shimin's head and said: "You need to learn how to shoot a gun, and you still need to read books, but you can't read a collection of classics and history. This thing is useless except to deal with the imperial examination. We need to study how to make powerful weapons and how to increase The yield of grain in the field is the real knowledge here.”

Zhao Shimin nodded and said: "My lord, I will remember that, I will study hard, and I will learn from the adults in the future."

Huang Sheng said: "Don't call yourself a villain in the future, and don't kneel down easily. Remember, a man should be self-improvement, be bloody, and know how to think. You can call me Mr. from now on. How about I accept you as a student?"

Zhao Shimin knelt and kowtowed in ecstasy, knocking the floor so loudly, he said in tears, "When a student kowtows to his teacher, he will serve him all his life, and he will never change until his death!"

At this time, the beauty in her arms let go of her entangled thoughts. She had been exhausted for the past two days, and she had not fallen asleep at all. Full of tears, but with a sweet smile on his face.

Huang Sheng hurriedly asked Huang Dongshan to call two women to wait for Zhao Rui to rest, and he took Huang Dongshan to talk to other rescued women. He was worried that there were still things that he couldn't think about, so he asked them to let go of their thoughts and told them that they were in Huang's house. People will discriminate against any battered woman.

The heart-to-heart talk had an effect. There were indeed two former great ladies, Cao Yueqin and Li Juan, who felt ashamed to go back to Daming, and were thinking of dying.

When Huang Sheng talked with each woman, he watched their words and expressions, and soon found out that they were not in the right mood. home life.

Seeing that Master Huang Sheng spoke earnestly and that they would stay by this handsome young man's side to serve them, the two young girls finally gave up the idea of ​​dying for the whole festival.

On October [-]nd of the fourth year of Apocalypse, Huang Sheng arrived safely at Ningyuan Wharf. Wu Xiang had been waiting here every day and was already hopeless. Seeing Huang Sheng returning to the teacher safely, his anxiety was only half relieved.

He is a big business man, not because he is reluctant to spend his money in vain, but because the officials who help him are pressing hard, and if he delays for a few more days, maybe Tiqi will come and arrest him and send him to Zhao Prison. Skin, if you want to fish yourself out, I'm afraid it may not work if you lose your fortune.

Huang Sheng met Wu Xiang directly in the cabin without disembarking. He had a small plan in mind, and he needed some help from the long-legged general.

Huang Sheng first showed Wu Xiangyan the waist plates, armor and heads of the nine Jiannu infantry and waistcoats. He immediately put his heart in his stomach, let out a long sigh of relief, and sat down on the chair.

I finally found the right person, and my life is safe!Although there is still a lack of a head, but here are all Jiannu Zhengbing, if you make dozens of heads at will, it is said that Qi Ding and Aha will definitely be able to pass the test.

Wu Xiang was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Master Huang is really a hero. To take Jiannu's head is just a matter of coming and going. The lower officials admire him, so the lower officials won't bother you. The adults are still waiting for the good news."

This kid thought that Huang Sheng had just bought nine heads, and he never mentioned the tenth level they agreed on, so he was about to accept the goods and leave.

Huang Sheng admired this business talent very much, he did not procrastinate and never forced others to do things, and he did not care about everything.

At this time, Huang Dongshan brought four more heads, three banner badges, one Ba Yala badge and equipment.

Wu Xiang's eyes lit up immediately when he saw the shiny armor. He recognized it as the equipment of Jiannu white armor, and suppressed the wild jump in his heart and asked, "My lord, is this what you beheaded this time?"

Huang Sheng said indifferently: "Of course, this team of Jian slaves was wiped out by me, and the leader is this white-armored soldier named Muli Buke."

Wu Xiang tentatively said: "My lord, are you planning to hand over these heads as well?"

"Of course, if you don't give it to Master Wu, who else can you give it to? I also have some trivial matters to ask Master Wu for help." Huang Sheng began to discuss business with Wu Xiang.

Wu Xiang knew that everyone was a mess in the officialdom, so he would not speak indiscriminately, he said: "It's okay, just open your mouth, my lord, I will definitely live up to my trust."

"Master Wu must already know about my family background, alas! It's hard to leave my homeland! There is a deserted island to the south of Juehua Island. I plan to buy it and settle down there, but there is nothing there." Huang Shengyu said sadly.

Wu Xiang thought it was a big deal, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty knows that Zhangjiashan Island is what you should look at, it doesn't matter, it will be called Huangjiashan Island from now on, and the land deed will be sent to you within three days. inside."

As expected, Wu Xiang has been in Liaodong for many years and has a clear understanding of the human geography here.In fact, a successful businessman must have a high IQ and a keen sense of smell.

Seeing that Huang Sheng wanted to buy a small island to settle down in, he felt infinite admiration. Although it was inconvenient to live on the island, it was safe and secure. Liaodong Bay was a military zone, and there were no pirates at all. The biggest threat was Jiannu.

Everyone knows that those savages currently have no fleets that can go to sea, and it is impossible for them to be attacked by Jiannu living on the island.At this time, no one in Ming Dynasty could predict that the sea surface of Juehua Island would be so frozen that thousands of troops could run there next year.

He thought for a while and said: "It's not too late. Tomorrow, I will arrange for people to go to the island to start work, so that adults can live on Huangjiashan Island before the Liaohai Sea freezes."

Wu Xiang's brother-in-law Zu Dashou was building the city, and he was managing a lot of construction materials and labor. It was not a piece of cake to divert some of the city bricks, wood, lime, and composite soil from the materials used to build Ningyuan City to build a private manor. .

Besides, Zu Dashou had nearly [-] soldiers in his hands. These people were not good at fighting, but they were more than enough to work.

This kid is too good, he is definitely a good partner, worth dating, of course, it is only limited to doing business and making money.

Huang Shengdao: "I have no relatives in Ningyuan. It is not easy to do things. General Wu is willing to help. It is very good, but I will not be disrespectful. I will pay for the silver taels needed to build the manor."

Wu Xiang said: "It's just a small amount of money, sir, you don't need to be polite, the future will be long, I will take my leave."

He was really happy in his heart, not only would he be able to return to his original post this time, it might even be possible to go up a level.

He bid farewell to Huang Sheng and came to Zu Dashou's house. Zu Dashou looked down on Wu Xiang in his heart. He himself was a guerrilla general with high military strength, and many children in the family followed him.

This Wu Xiang was as cowardly as a mouse, and he even got mixed up as a fourth-rank clerk, and he actually gave it to Mr. Qian.In his heart, he really hoped that Wu Xiang would be dismissed, and that he would do business in peace and order in the future, and not be a black sheep in the army.

However, Wu Xiang's ability to move was not simple, and he actually got the head of Jianu Bayala. Zu Dashou carefully inspected all the waist cards, armors, and weapons one by one, and then carefully appraised thirteen heads.

He took a deep breath and said, "My dear brother! That Lord Huang is too powerful. The ten Jian slaves here are all middle-aged men, including three banner men. Do you know how many servants he has? This time How many casualties?"

Wu Xiang was a businessman, so he didn't ask too many questions because it had nothing to do with him. He also didn't know how many members of Mr. Huang's family lost their lives.

He said: "Brother, I didn't ask about this, but Mr. Huang doesn't seem to have many servants."

The topic that Zu Dashou was most concerned about was how to lead the troops. Seeing that Wu Xiang couldn't tell the reason, he was a little discouraged, and said, "My dear brother, you must get along well with Mr. Huang. Your soldiers are vulnerable, but you are still messing around here in Liaodong." , There will be too many times when life-saving will be needed in the future."

Being ridiculed to the face, Wu Xiang didn't take it seriously, and said: "Brother, I brought 2000 taels of silver today, one is to shock my brother, and the other is to ask him to arrange manpower and supplies, I promise to freeze them in Liaohai I will build the manor on Huangjiashan Island for Mr. Huang before."

Zu Dashou is a local. He asked strangely: "Where did Huangjiashan Island come from? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Wu Xiang told about Huang Sheng's plan to settle down in Liaodong, and he fell in love with Zhangjiashan Island, a deserted island south of Juehua Island.
