Blood from Daming

Chapter 274 Grain Cloth
Uncle Wu was very touched by Yan Sanniang's words and immediately wanted to kneel down again. Yan Sanniang stepped forward to support Uncle Wu regardless of her identity and said, "Uncle Wu doesn't need to kneel and kneel like this, if you delay for a while, it will be dark soon. Liu Ben, Lou San, come and help Uncle Wu."

Liu Ben and Lou San heard Yan Sanniang's order and immediately came up to support Uncle Wu. The two people joined forces and walked towards the sea boat at the pier. , Mr. Jiang's former subordinates are indeed well-trained. Although most of them are old and weak, women and children, the team is not chaotic at all, and no one intentionally jumps in the line. They quickly formed two long lines by the pier.

Soon Liu Ben and Lou San ordered the boat to start distributing rice.Some of Uncle Wu’s people were fighting, some were maintaining order, and the distribution of rice went very smoothly at the beginning, each with a bucket of rice and a piece of cloth. Many people came to the beach to watch the fun, and most of them didn’t bring rice bags. Then someone had an idea, spread out the cloth, poured the rice into the cloth and wrapped it up, put it on his shoulders and walked to his home. The adults here kowtowed to express their thanks before they were willing to leave.

Yan Sanniang still saw the performance of the islanders who came to express her gratitude. Seeing Master Jiang’s slight sense of loss, Yan Sanniang said in her heart that you, Master Jiang, have no strength. Naturally, people will gradually lose their loyalty to you. Suddenly, the wharf started to riot , Yan Sanniang frowned, and immediately her subordinates came to report.

It turned out that those islanders who did not belong to Mr. Jiang's subordinates were very envious when they saw others receiving the grain and cloth. , drove all these away, but most of the people on the island knew each other, and some of the workers under Mr. Jiang couldn't bear to secretly cover these islanders to receive food and cloth, so the people who distributed the food and cloth were one hundred secrets. Shu let a small number of native islanders receive grain and cloth.

This is a bad thing now. The island lacks everything except fish. Naturally, the native islanders feel uncomfortable when they see others holding grain and cloth, but that is what they deserve. Similarly, some islanders who were not eligible to receive grain and cloth also took the opportunity to receive grain and cloth. Everyone became excited and rushed to line up. Uncle Wu and the others would let these non-Jiang family hired workers come to collect grain and cloth, and a dispute arose.

Uncle Wu and the others are now employees of the Xue family, and the new owner is watching everyone in front of them. If everyone can't even keep these belongings, the master will only be a waste of food. Besides, these five ships of goods belong to the Xue family. What the servants enjoy for the servants, if I give it to you, it means that we are missing. When Uncle Wu and the others shouted, many family members of the Xue family’s hired workers who were queuing understood, and followed Uncle Wu and the others to push and push these islanders. Unwilling to give in, it seemed like a mess of pushing and pushing at the pier.

After Yan Sanniang figured out what was going on, she walked towards the seashore with Mrs. Jiang, and when Yan Sanniang arrived at the pier, Uncle Wu greeted her, and said to Yan Sanniang, "Young Madam, it's really Sorry, these islanders are here to make trouble."

Yan Sanniang asked: "Uncle Wu, aren't these islanders working for us?"

Uncle Wu replied, "Yes, Young Madam."

Yan Sanniang saw that most of the islanders were kept out of the queuing range by the new hirelings of the Xue family. Sanniang saw that the clothes of these islanders were even worse than those of her own employees.

Yan Sanniang asked Uncle Wu: "Uncle Wu, is the light and shadow on the island very bad?"

Uncle Wu replied: "Young Madam, there are almost all such families on the island. Although there are a few families engaged in fishermen's business, but the business is not very good, and they are just struggling, so the people on Changtu Island live in a bad way. Very bitter."

Yan Sanniang saw that there were five to six hundred people on the island. If she wanted to gain a foothold in Changtu Island, she had to pull these people into her circle, otherwise the seven masters and eight hearts on the entire Changtu Island would ruin her. For the big event, they walked towards those islanders. When those islanders saw Yan Sanniang leading a group of people with knives coming, everyone began to fear and moved back slowly.

Yan Sanniang shouted: "Folks, I am the hostess of this wharf now. You will be neighbors in the future. Today, my Xue family is new here, and I didn't bring any greeting gifts for the folks. You can all line up to get food and cloth. Go back and tell those Folks who haven’t received grain and cloth can come to collect it tomorrow.”

Those islanders asked Yan Sanniang whether what she said was true, and Yan Sanniang said, "You guys have to wait in line to try it and you'll know."

Those islanders swarmed over and lined up behind Xue's hired workers. Uncle Wu and the others looked at Yan Sanniang in surprise. Fan, Changtu Island will be short of people in the future, first give some benefits to these islanders, and see if we can integrate them into our organization."

Uncle Wu didn't understand Yan Sanniang's words, but since the young lady said that he should listen no matter whether he was right or wrong, now Liu Ben and Lou San increased the speed of distribution, and it didn't take long for Xue's hired workers to After receiving the food and cloth, it was the turn of the islanders to receive the food and cloth. When those islanders received the food and cloth distributed on the big boat of the Xue family, the islanders in the back were also relieved, and the tranquility of the dock was restored. The hired workers and islanders who came to grain and cloth all hurried towards their homes.

Accompanied by Master Jiang, Yan Sanniang walked to the accommodation arranged for Yan Sanniang. On the way, she met a group of women with children and young children, carrying rice and cloth, walking very hard, Yan Sanniang took the initiative to leave When they got up, the women and children saw Yan Sanniang's large group of people terrified, and immediately protected their food and cloth.

Seeing the reactions of these women and children, Yan Sanniang felt a little embarrassed, so she said from a distance: "Folks, seeing how hard you are carrying things, do you need us to send you a ride?"

The women and children shook their heads like a shopkeeper's drum, which made Yan Sanniang lose her enthusiasm for helping others, so she turned around and asked Mr. Jiang, "Is the security on this island okay?"

Mr. Jiang replied: "The people of Changtu Island are simple and simple. Basically, there is no robbery or theft. Besides, Changtu Island is so big that everyone doesn't look up and look down. If you really do something unethical, The family will not let him go easily, if there is any serious crime, it is possible to sink people into the sea."

Seeing that the women and children were not in any danger, Yan Sanniang abandoned them and left. The subordinates of Changtu Island arranged for Yan Sanniang a small fisherman's courtyard, but this fisherman's courtyard was four or five miles away from the pier. The small yard of the fisherman's house has an unobstructed view of the pier. This is a safe and comfortable place to live, but the breeze blowing from the sea has a faint fishy smell that makes Yan Sanniang feel a little uncomfortable.

Master Jiang sent Yan Sanniang to the gate of the fisherman's small courtyard and left. Uncle Min complained to Yan Sanniang, thinking that it would be safer to live on a sea boat, but Yan Sanniang thought he was here to subdue the gang from Changtu Island Human beings, they should be a little more generous. If Mr. Jiang and the others really have any conspiracy, it is best to let them come out earlier, so as to avoid the tiring of day and night defense in the future.

The candles in the living room of the fisherman's courtyard were brightly lit. Yan Sanniang looked at a table full of seafood but had no appetite. On the contrary, six female soldiers and servants under her command ate vigorously. Yan Sanniang was not used to the fishy smell. The food was just a small bowl of porridge, and the aunts on the island who were in charge of serving Yan Sanniang looked very nervous.

The leader, Mrs. Li, asked softly: "Young Madam, is it possible that these dishes are not to your liking, why don't you make some more according to your liking."

Yan Sanniang really lost her appetite when she saw these things, but she couldn't say that they were not delicious in front of her servants. This would hurt their self-esteem, and it would not be conducive to quickly uniting these female compatriots, so she said to Mrs. Li: "The dishes you cook are delicious. It’s delicious, but I’m a little seasick myself, so I’ll eat it when I’m better tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.”

Sister Li and other aunts had smiles on their faces. Yan Sanniang ordered her servants to reward each of these aunts with five taels of silver. These aunts were so happy that they almost fainted. The mother used water to wash her face and feet, some drove away mosquitoes for Yan Sanniang, and some went to make the bed, fold the quilt and light incense.

The eyes of Yan Sanniang's six female servants were so big that they were robbing the sisters of their business, but Yan Sanniang didn't dare to complain in front of the mistress, they just stood there with their mouths raised. Be a spectator.

Yan Sanniang feels that she is more and more able to enjoy herself, her body is becoming more and more delicate, and her taste is becoming more and more tricky. She is used to being served by others. She used to be a policeman and walked on the rivers and lakes, and she despised the faults of some rich and nobles , I enjoy it now as much as I like.

Yan Sanniang was lying on Xiangfufu's bed, thinking that from tomorrow onwards, she would do a great job on Changtu Island. Yan Sanniang was a little excited. One, in fact, there are two bigger secrets buried below one after another. The public task is to train the sailors to arrest the remnants of Jianwen on the waterway, and to do some business for the Xue family by the way. It should be acceptable to the court.

The secret lurking below is that Yan Sanniang's navy is the last retreat of Xue Polu's troops in Liaodong Xue's army. When Xue Polu was in the most difficult time, Yan Sanniang's navy was almost Xue Polu's last life-saving straw. Of course, there is also the meaning of attacking the Jin Kingdom's rear to make a profit.

But only Yan Sanniang knows the deepest secret. The ultimate goal of Xianggong Xue Yun is to take down the island of Taiwan opposite the Black Water Ditch, and then go east to Ryukyu, Japan, and Korea, and go south to sweep the Southeast Asian countries and establish a powerful country. For the maritime empire represented by the Xue family, Yan Sanniang just wondered that Xue Yun didn't have a clear statement about the Central Plains. Could it be that Mr. Xianggong knew his life experience a long time ago, and he didn't want to let the people of the Central Plains lose their lives to have such a whimsical grandeur on the sea? Thinking about the blueprint, Yan Sanniang entered her sweet dreamland.
