Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 441
"Half price?" Mr. Chu and Gong Zhiming looked at each other, feeling something strange.Even if the profit of reselling grain is high, it is not half as much.The grain merchant obviously sent grain at a loss of money, and the timing unexpectedly came not long after Gong Zhiming arrived...

"Is this person really just a grain merchant?"

Gong Zhiming asked calmly, obviously guessing something.

Sure enough, Chu Lao San smiled and said, "General is wise, this man said before leaving that he was going to have a drink with the master in the government office."

Oh I got it.

Old Master Chu laughed and said, "Sure enough, there are not many of Prime Minister Fang's disciples who are not treacherous. This is because they saw that the general now has rare goods to live in, so he secretly came to throw stones to ask for directions."

No matter what the governor of Quanzhou is like, the food sent now is indeed an urgent need. No matter whether the fleet is going to open up new islands or follow the personal guards going south, people need food to eat horses.

Gong Zhiming nodded, and silently wrote down the name of Quanzhou governor. If there is a chance in the future, he must remember today's matter.

I don't know if it's because Mrs. Chu's chicken soup has helped, or because she doesn't have to travel every day. After two days of nursing, although Ding Wei's wound hasn't healed yet, her face is not so pale.

This day, she insisted on getting dressed and asked Yunying to help her to the front yard.Gong Zhiming and Old General Chu rushed out when they saw each other. Gong Zhiming frowned and complained, "Why don't you just lie down and come out?"

Ding Wei couldn't hide the anxiety in her expression even when she smiled, "I didn't suffer any serious injuries, but I lost a lot of blood, and I will take care of it slowly, but the seaside trade wind waits for no one, and if it is delayed, the spring monsoon Once we get there, it’s not easy to go to sea.”

Everyone is not a fool, how could they not understand how a mother misses her missing son.Ji Feng is an excuse, but the heart that hopes for his son's safety is the truth.

A dark look flashed in Gong Zhiming's eyes, why didn't he want to take a step towards Yuedu.But his wife was injured, and the two children were still young, and they were involved at both ends, so they couldn't sleep well, and they couldn't eat or sleep well.

He raised his hand to open the chart that he had just put away, pointed to the coastline and asked, "Where is the island you want to go to?"

Ding Wei stared at the chart for a long while. She remembered that the big island in her previous life could almost be seen across the sea on a sunny day.But now I haven't heard the Chu family mention it. It is obvious that although most of the location here is the same as in the previous life, there are always some discrepancies.

So, instead of Chu Laosan, she stepped forward and asked a few questions carefully, but in the end she felt that there would be no major mistakes.So he raised his finger to a place and said, "Brother Chu, you can take the fleet to look for it here first. If not, then go on a three-day voyage. Don't go any farther!"

Chu Laosan has been looking forward to this day for a long time. He has traveled back and forth to Dongdao to transport money countless times, and he has traveled almost all over Nandao.Now that he has finally begun to explore the new island, and even becomes the retreat route of the master's family in the future, how can he not be excited about the foundation of the Chu family.

"Okay, don't worry, empress, I will definitely come back with good news."

Chu Lao San was as happy as picking up gold, and quickly walked out with the sea chart in his pocket, shouting at his good brothers, all of whom were young and bronze-skinned, and they walked to the beach in groups.Jumped on the big boat that had been loaded with fresh water, Yang Fan set off.

Ding Wei made up her mind to support herself, regardless of whether the big island in her memory, which is like spring all the year round and rich in products, can be found or not, she must hurry up and take care of everything.In this way, the husband can rest assured to save his son, uncover his life experience, and regain his world, his subjects...

The whole Chu family, and even the whole Quanzhou city became busy.

There is no other reason, because the purchasing power of women is much stronger than that of men.Chu's third brother, Cheng Dayou, mostly thinks about food, but Ding Wei wants to build a territory and a safe fortress for her family that will never be easily taken away by others.Therefore, all kinds of construction must keep up.

I bought a lot of various utensils, including hoes, sickles, kitchen knives and scissors, and even recruited two carpenters and one blacksmith.As for the weapons and manpower, the soldiers who intercepted them on the road sent no less than 1000 sets of armor and knives and guns. The Chu family has a lot of manpower. They are good Erlang who have experienced battlefield experience. They are good boatmen when they get on the boat, and they are good soldiers when they get off the boat and put on armor...

However, in a few days, everyone in Quanzhou City finally heard about the "big event" that happened in the capital, and even understood why the Chu family made such a weird big purchase before.Now the entire manor is guarded like an iron bucket, so the entire Quanzhou city has exploded like the capital.

But the difference is that Quanzhou is located by the sea, relies on the sea to eat the sea, rarely farms land, and is not so stubborn about traditional blood.In their view, whoever makes them live a good life is a good man and emperor.

And Gong Zhiming is undoubtedly a good emperor in their eyes, and the queen empress is the maiden daughter of the God of Wealth under Mazu.

Now hearing that the empress has sent people to find a new island and is about to open up a new island, everyone's eyes are almost red.I had to go home to discuss it, but if there were many brothers in the family and there was no shortage of people to take care of the elderly, most of them would bring their wives and children and throw them outside the Chu family manor.Begging to be taken in, sold as a slave.

When Ding Wei heard about it, she was a little surprised. After all, they are now in peace, and she didn't expect that there are so many people who want to follow.

After all, it was Mrs. Chu who came from the fishing village and understood the thoughts of these people best, so she said, "The life of the people on the seaside is not to be starved to death. In fact, it is the hardest. Many people die every year when they go to sea. Almost every household has widows.

As long as doing other things can save one's life, no one would be willing to hand over one's life to the sea god's decision.Rather than being trapped in one place with dozens of members of your family, let your children follow you and the general to settle on a new island. Even if it’s not good, you won’t starve to death.If it's all right, maybe he can lead a family to live a good life. "

Only then did Ding Wei understand, but with the lessons learned from Yun Ya, Lao Wu and Xiao Fang, she was much more vigilant.So, Yunying called and ordered, "First register these people, and then ask Second Brother Chu to help find out the details of these people. If there is nothing wrong, then sign a ten-year employment contract with them, and the wages will be better." .It is best to be able to drive a boat or farm land, and to have skills is also preferred.”

Yunying listened carefully, and finally saluted and went out to make arrangements.Old Mrs. Chu left behind and asked with a smile, "Mother, my son-in-law is also the youngest, and the old man doesn't expect him to take care of him. Why don't the old lady make a deal and let the couple bring their children to Xindao with you this time, okay? "

"Of course." Ding Wei has been taken care of by the old lady for the past few days, and she loves her simplicity and kindness very much. Hearing that her daughter's family wants to follow, naturally there is nothing wrong with it.

"I heard that the younger sister of my aunt's family is a good female celebrity, but I am clumsy. I will have to help my two children's clothes in the future."

The old lady was even more delighted when she heard that, the master said that he wanted to keep the girl by his side.

She hurriedly thanked her daughter. Although she married into the Chu family and the two sons of the Chu family treated her politely, they were not her own.It's not easy to talk about something, and now, taking advantage of the master's presence, to arrange a good future for her daughter's family, she has nothing to worry about.

The Chu family is like a local snake in Quanzhou now, but within two or three days they have found out the details of who came to seek refuge. Except for those idlers who want to join in the fun and take advantage of it, the rest are hard-working and a little Craftsmen are hired.

Five taels of silver for a family's settling expenses, plus a ten-year contract, with a base of ten taels of silver every year, and rewards for work.Such generous remuneration almost immediately caused the whole Quanzhou to boil again.

More people came to work, but this time the selection was even stricter.After all, the sea fleet has not come back yet, and it is not known where it will be in the future. It is also a waste to recruit too many people but not be able to use them.

But those who have not been hired are also registered, and in case they are recruited again in the future, these people will be given priority.

In this way, the Chu Family Manor is like a whale with its mouth wide open, absorbing many materials and manpower.Up and down, he was so busy that he almost hit the back of his head with his feet.

Gong Zhiming discusses with the old general Chu every day how to respond, how many people to bring, and when he is free, he will practice the bodyguards, with the children of the Chu family, and those young men who have signed the contract. In case of danger, take up a knife and gun and be a soldier.

Just when he was so busy and full of expectations, Chu Laosan finally returned with the fleet.Just looking at his eyebrows that were about to fly out of his face, he knew that things must be going well. Sure enough, the first thing he said when he jumped off the ship was, "I found it, a very good big island!"

Ding Wei breathed a long sigh of relief, and exchanged glances with Gong Zhiming, feeling confident in her heart.

Old General Chu was short-tempered and urged his son, "Where is it? How long is the voyage? How big is the place? Are there any natives?"

The youngest Chu snatched the gourd from the second brother's hand and drank happily, and finally responded with joy, "It's just like what the master said, the four seasons on the big island are like spring, neither hot nor cold. There are mountains and waters, and there are A large piece of flat land can at least reclaim thousands of fertile fields. The surrounding seabed is also clean, and there are several natural harbors. There don’t seem to be many indigenous people on the island. I only saw a few small tribes with 5000 people after a day of running around. It doesn't look like Bao Lie, it's very peaceful and timid."

"This is good, this is good!"

Old General Chu was completely relieved, and laughed, "No wonder everyone in Quanzhou said that the empress is a virgin girl who spread wealth under the seat of Mazu. With just a single finger, another new island was found. With those thousands of good places , Even tens of thousands of people have been fed.”

Ding Wei didn't want to talk about how she knew the existence of the big island, so she quickly changed the topic and said with a smile, "The general and I named this new island Taoyuan Island, which means paradise. If it is managed well, there will be It’s the foundation of our family.”

The father and son of the Chu family looked at each other, and they all knelt down on one knee, "Swear allegiance to the Lord to the death!"

Ding Wei took a step back, Gong Zhiming stepped forward, helped the father and son of the Chu family stand up, and solemnly promised, "One day in the future, the military flag of the Chu family will definitely be erected again."
