The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 497 Suffering in silence!
"Don't be chaotic, don't be chaotic! Then Hu Wang is not the owner of this house at all... Oops!"

"Don't listen to their nonsense, this lord is definitely not forcibly occupying... ah!"

Min Zhuang, who had figured out what was going on, shouted to the people who rushed over, but he would soon be knocked down by Hu Wang's men

Seeing the chaos, Hu Wang immediately yelled, "Get rid of this dog official!" But he was surrounded by several henchmen and squeezed out of the circle.

Yale looked coldly at the "excited" folks, and whispered to Mu Zhiqing: "Second Miss, do you want your subordinates to lead someone..."

"No, most of the people here are coerced people."

Mu Zhiqing immediately raised her hand to stop him, and whispered a few words to Qi Lian. The latter's eyes lit up, and he shouted with all his strength: "From now on, all wages will be increased by [-]%! You can take the old and the young in the office at night." Come and eat!"

The crowd suddenly felt as if they had been hit by a freeze spell, except for thirty or so of Hu Wang's subordinates who were still jumping and shouting, all the others shut up and looked at Qi Li'an.

Qi Li'an continued to follow Mu Zhiqing's instruction: "Hu Wang has nothing to do with this house, it has just been judged, you can ask the people around you!"

Human groups are like this. They are the easiest to follow the crowd and lose the ability to think. Once things get chaotic, it’s useless to say anything.But after everyone calms down, rationality will regain the upper hand.

When even many people who saw Hu Wang's injustice and lack of words briefly explained the story to other people, the eyes of the crowd instantly fell on Hu Wang.

Mu Zhiqing continued to instruct Qi Li'an, and the latter relayed loudly: "The imperial government built this cannery to improve the livelihood of the people on the island. When the cannery is completed, they will buy fish from everyone at a high price. I promise, a catty Fish at least [-] Wen!"

People immediately became excited, "Such a high price?!"

"This catty of fish can be exchanged for... ah, how many catties of rice?"

"Two catties, eight taels, you can buy two catties and eight taels of rice at the current market price!"

"My God! If this is the case, life will be easier in the future!"

Qi Li'an motioned for everyone to be quiet, and said: "The imperial court is trying its best to let everyone live a good life, but it is inevitable that Xiaoxiao, who is malicious, wants to take the opportunity to blackmail. If they succeed, the cannery will not be built, and everyone will have to continue to suffer in the future ..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Hu Wang from the corner of his eyes.

Everyone "understood it", and immediately two or thirty people surrounded Hu Wang, "This guy has never done good things!"

"I just knew, where did this kind of thing come from, what kind of ancestral house?!"

"Dare to disturb everyone's livelihood, beat him!"

"Yes, beat him!"

Another person pointed at Hu Wang's subordinate beside him, "Just now this person encouraged me to attack the official!"

"I also have one on my side, who dares to intercede for Hu Wang..."

"There are also..."

It didn't take long for Hu Wang and the [-] or so rogues under his command to be taken down by the angry crowd. They had to be beaten hard a few times and couldn't stop howling and begging for mercy.

"Let everyone continue to work." Mu Zhiqing ordered calmly, turned back to her thatched shed, and continued to read the collection of function problems that Zhu Linmi had left for her.

……

"Bastard! How dare you take my people?!" Ji Kang kicked over the vase stand in the corner of the room, pointed at an officer and yelled, "Order, the whole army is lined up outside the school grounds, I have to teach this surname a lesson All right!"

Li Xingde hurriedly stopped him, "My lord, no!"

"Why not?" Ji Kang was also used to being the local emperor in Zhoushan, and said coldly, "I have 360 ​​people under my command, why are I afraid of his [-] craftsmen?!"

"It's not that I'm afraid of him." Li Xingde said, "But this time Hu Wang was caught in public, and you can't get the word 'reasonable' here. Even if you clean up Qi Li'an, you have slapped the Ministry of Industry in the face. This matter If there is a big trouble, it is difficult for us to explain to Mr. Li."

"Damn it! No, I really can't swallow this breath!"

"Of course you have to vent your anger." Li Xingde smiled sinisterly, "But this matter must be left in the hands of others."

"Oh? What's your plan?"

"We have to use the crooked jellyfish for this matter." Li Xingde made a plan like this, and finally said, "If your lord is afraid that he will not be thorough in his affairs, you can send troops to flank him in the name of eliminating bandits. Qi Li'an was killed afterwards If you cut off the head, you will be the pirates that your lord will destroy!"

"Hmm! Great plan!"

Li Xingde continued: "In addition, my lord has to shut up the mouth of the Ministry of Industry first. You can ask Li lord to go to the court first, and sue Qi Li'an for colluding with noble gentry, committing crimes in Zhoushan, embezzling public money, occupying private houses, and privately imprisoning good people.

"In this way, if someone surnamed Qi is killed by 'sea bandits', the imperial court will naturally not bother to go to war for such corrupt officials."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Ji Kang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately said, "Hurry up and make arrangements for the tilting dragon and the deployment of troops, and I'll write a letter to Master Li right away."

More than ten days later.

Just after dinner time.

Qi Li'an came to Mu Zhiqing's building with a few porcelain vases the size of melons, and presented the porcelain vases respectfully, "Miss Mu Er, this is a canned food just made. Look, this is a big yellow croaker, this is a saury, This is cuttlefish, this is spinach..."

Mu Zhiqing took the cans and looked at them carefully, then peeled off the sealing wax, and took them out to taste one by one.All the canned food is very salty, in order to preserve as much as possible, but basically it still maintains the aroma of the fish, which is a hundred times more delicious than pickled and dried salted fish.

"That's right." She nodded slightly, "Put all the cans in the sun and in a mildewy place for a long time, and check to see if any of them have become rancid and smelly. Your Highness has instructed that if there are any, it is due to poor airtightness, and the craftsmen must immediately improve them. process."

"Second Miss, don't worry, I'll save you from being an official."

Mu Zhiqing said again: "It seems that the situation of the trial production is not bad. Mr. Qi began to recruit workers, and set up a few more sets of things used in the trial production in the canning factory. The porcelain bottle I customized in Ningbo It will be here soon, when canning can be mass-produced."

Now, [-]% to [-]% of the dilapidated house has been repaired, which is enough to store materials, utensils and personnel in the early stage, and the sign of Zhoushan Cannery is hung on the door.

As for the so-called production equipment, there are actually only a lot of giant steamers, and there are wax pots and the like.The only thing with a bit of technical content is the pendulum clocks used to calculate the steaming time of canned food, which are operated by the tools sent by Song Yingxing.

Qi Li'an cupped his hands and said, "Your official must do it properly."

It was night, one large, three small and four boats quietly docked on the north side of Zhoushan.The big ship is a [-] to [-] ton boat with a cannon on the bow and stern.The small boats also weigh forty to fifty tons, and each is equipped with a Franco cannon.

Soon, more than a dozen small boats sailed out from four boats, carrying a hundred people onto the shore.These people all have ferocious faces, some are holding sharp knives, some are carrying bows and blunderbuss, they are just for the gang of pirates near Zhoushan.

The small boat went back and forth several times, and the pirates on the beach had gathered more than 300 people, but because Ji Kang had transferred the guards guarding the shore early in the morning, no one found these bandits.
