Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 559 Emergency Relocation

Dang Gui was pouring tea for everyone, and when he heard this, he looked disgusted, presumably those pirates had their heads shot, and their deaths were ugly.

"Master, you didn't see it. It was a distance of three feet, and it killed someone with just one blow. There seemed to be a few red beards, like their leaders, with short muskets in their hands. It's easy."

"That's a pistol. It's more powerful than a musket. It doesn't need any gunpowder. Of course, it's easier to kill people."

Ding Wei frowned fiercely. She had hoped that there would be only a few of these red bearded beards, but she didn't expect it to be a hundred.And there are artillery, muskets, and even muskets. It seems that it is difficult to wipe them out of the island with a surprise attack.

"Have you found a chance to get on the boat to see it? How damaged is their boat, and can it be started in the near future?"

Everyone looked at Mr. Wei. In terms of strength on the island, Mr. Chu may not be as good as Mr. Chu, but when it comes to experience in the world, Mr. Wei, who has been struggling for a long time, considers himself the second, and no one dares to admit that he is the first.

It was also the old man who climbed onto the big boat with the red beard that night. Although it was only a quarter of an hour before he made a thrilling turn around under heavy precautions, he was still the one who knew the appearance of the big boat best.

The old man coughed and thought about it carefully, "I can't understand what those red beards are saying, but there is a hole under the bow, it seems to hit a reef. There are more than a dozen pirates being guarded and repaired. Look at the posture, I’m afraid it will be repaired in more than ten days.”

Ten days?
Everyone gasped, that is to say, in less than half a month, the pirates would drive a large ship with ten cannons to bombard the stone castle and occupy Taoyuan Island!
"Notice, all the staff will move to the new city early tomorrow morning, and more manpower will be arranged on the pier. Once the fleet arrives, the pier will be blown up after the last batch of cargo is delivered!"

Ding Wei took a pencil and quickly listed the countermeasures she had thought about in the past few days on a piece of paper, and quickly gave instructions.

"In the workshop, everything that can be taken away is taken away, and what cannot be taken away is destroyed! Women, children and children are the first to be transferred!"

"Once the transfer is completed, the pier will be blown up. General Chu will lead people to set traps on the road. Even if Redbeard dismantles the cannon from the ship, it will not be too easy to transport it to the foot of the new city. If the opportunity is good, then design the Come and wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop."

"Yes, ma'am." Everyone agreed in unison, Dang Gui thought for a while and said, "Madam, if the people below ask why they moved early..."

"This matter cannot be hidden, tell the truth, but be careful not to cause panic."

"it is good."

Everyone split up and went down to get busy, and soon there were horses rushing to Xincheng to report. Chen Guanshi and Zhao Guanshi were worried about the trivial matters in Xincheng, and they had already gone back early.When I received the news suddenly, I was taken aback, but I didn't have time to think about it.

Although the new city had already been built and all the facilities were complete, it was inevitable that there would be deficiencies in welcoming everyone all of a sudden. The two immediately gathered all the craftsmen in an emergency and began to distribute the work.

Not to mention how busy the new city is, Shibao's side is also flying around.

Everyone in the stone castle was the first to get the news. Although they didn't know how powerful the foreign enemy was, the always calm and wise lady decided to move to the new city immediately, and there must be a reason for it.

The men put on their clothes and went to the workshop to help pack things and prepare to move.The women were crying, holding their children and complaining.

"Woooo, why can't the good days last long? The pirates came here before, and I was scared to death, and now some kind of red beard has come! Woohoo, it's better to go back to my hometown, at least there are no pirates in my hometown..."

"Shut up!" The man fastened his clothes indiscriminately, and scolded, "What nonsense, you don't even look at what you're wearing, what you're wearing on your head and hands! You can't even eat in your hometown. When have you ever been hungry here? Stomach! If you want to go back, just leave, I will take the child here and find someone to marry!"

"Do you dare?" The woman stared immediately after hearing this, wiped away her tears, and shouted, "I followed you to the island and suffered all kinds of hardships. Now I live a good life. You want to drive me away?" Go, no way!"

"You know it's a good day, so what's the point of complaining? Even in my hometown, robbers can't be guaranteed. Besides, the tax collectors are worse than robbers! I've only been here twice on the island, so it's not bad. In the new city The new yard on the side is ready, let you move in, there are so many things to do 1”

"Oh, I'm just scared, complain a few words. Hurry up and get busy, I have to pack up the things at home, and I have to take the boxes with me. There is a new yard and you can't live empty!"

When the woman said this, she kicked the man out, and started to rummage through boxes and cabinets to pick up things. The child was mischievous, and after being slapped twice on the buttocks, she ran away and continued to sleep.

This kind of situation is happening in almost every household on the island.

The workshop is brightly lit, and countless craftsmen are busy arranging goods, packing boxes, and dismantling all available tools.Some important supplies have already been loaded into the car and transported to the new city overnight.

Although the master ordered the women and children to move first, but the hearts of the people are fleshy.The master was thinking of the servants of these craftsmen, and they naturally didn't want the master to suffer. For the time being, the red beard hasn't been killed yet, and it doesn't matter if the women and children move out a little later.

On the third floor of the stone castle, Mrs. Cheng, Sister-in-law Zhao, and Mrs. Bai have all settled down, so naturally they have to clean up.Leaving Dang Gui with Atractylodes Platycodon and Platycodon grandiflorum busy, his feet never touched the ground.

The money and valuables in the warehouse must be transported away first, as well as the account books and name books accumulated over the years, all the drawings, cloth supplies, and more than a dozen carts, which are escorted by Mr. Wei himself, and sent to the new city first. City Lord's Mansion.

Previously, Mr. Wei had been spending time in Xincheng, not only treating the craftsmen to prevent the heat, but also supervising seven or eight craftsmen who signed the death contract to dig out the light and the dark in the city lord's mansion. Useful.

Busy nights always go by so fast, and the kids notice the difference almost immediately when they wake up in the morning.

An Ge'er was the first to hug his mother's arm. Although he didn't ask any questions, he could easily detect the uneasiness in his expression.

The eldest baby never left behind An Ge'er, her neck was stiff, and she was very vigilant.

Ding Wei looked distressed. Although the two children lived and grew up as usual after returning, they were looted and sent to Dai Viet, which still left an indelible shadow in their little hearts.

She quickly put down the work in her hands, hugged her son tightly, and said with a smile, "Son, we start moving today, and you know that the rainy season is coming, so we have to move there in advance to clean up the new house and make it warmer. We won’t be afraid of the heavy rain anymore. In addition, there are bad guys coming to snatch our good things. The stone castle is too small and not as strong as the new city. We have moved, so we don’t have to worry about the bad guys coming to bully us.”

"Ah, so you're moving house?"

Hearing that the family was going to move to a new city, An Ge'er looked a lot better and regained his energy, shouting, "Mom, I've been to our new home, it's big, and there's a garden. Grandpa said he'd build one for me. Where's the tree house?"

"Okay, mother will find the best blanket and spread it in the tree house."

"Thank you, mother." Brother An was even happier, but when he thought of his father who was far away, he began to worry again, "Mum, we moved away, what should I do if my father can't find a home when he comes back?"

When Ding Wei heard this suddenly, her heart ached, she quickly held back her tears, and said with a smile, "No, your father is amazing, he can find us wherever we go. You are an older child, and I will take care of your mother today. Brothers and sisters, pack up your things too, take them to your new home, and continue to use them."

"Okay, mother."

After finally coaxing away her son, Ding Wei continued to work. At noon, all the women and children had packed up their belongings and gathered in front of the stone castle.

There were some valuable utensils in more than a dozen carriages, and the rest were things like tents and carpets.Because there were not enough carriages, all the women and children could not be sent to the new town in carriages, and they would have to walk for two days on the road.Although the temperature of Taoyuan Island is suitable, it is not easy to let the children and the elderly sleep outside at night. Putting up a tent to keep out the dew also makes the craftsmen feel more at ease.

The crowd was on the road in a mighty way, and it was inevitable that they would have to give up their homes for nearly a year. Fortunately, there was a better and stronger new city waiting for them, so the road ahead was not too difficult.

The children are innocent and innocent, even though the adults look a little complicated, but this does not prevent them from yearning for a new home and the novelty of the journey.When camping at night, he was fighting around the campfire with dry food in his mouth, and was soon caught by his mother and scolded.

In the middle of the night, the children all fell asleep, and the women gathered together, saying enough about their yearning for the new home and the nostalgia for the stone castle, they insisted on falling asleep.

In the early morning of the second day, far away from the beach, without hearing the sound of the waves, everyone woke up in the scent of birdsong and flowers feeling a little uncomfortable.

After breakfast, we continued our journey and finally arrived at Xincheng in the evening.The majestic city makes everyone excited.

A craftsman had already stepped forward to meet him. The child was jumping and calling for his father, and the old woman was calling for his son. The scene was very lively.

Although a little caught off guard, there was a roster assigned earlier. According to the household registration level, each family has found their future residence.

The second-class households are all the family members of great craftsmen, so they naturally have their own yards, the third-class households have three rooms for the family members of small craftsmen and guards, and the fourth-class households are new handymen who have not been working for a long time, and they live in townhouses. , there are common huts and kitchens, a little crowded, but much better than the stone castle.

The worst part is all kinds of small business people and people who do odd jobs. They gather in several specially opened large yards in the North City, which is quite lively.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Bai Shu had already arrived last night, he was busy hanging curtains, making beds, and arranging wooden furniture.

On the morning of the third day, Yun Ying and Shan Yi brought the children, including An Ge'er, over.

Soon, Mrs. Cheng arrived with her luggage.

The City Lord's Mansion, which was originally empty, immediately became busy and lively.

Waiting for the smoke to rise and curling up, the craftsmen and family members of the whole city feel more at ease.No matter how urgent and uneasy the moment is, as long as the master's family is still there, there is no need to worry about anything.
