Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    " If it were in the past, Tong Baimei would definitely have another fight with Lan Tianyu's master and apprentice to avenge the old grudge. But his mood has changed now. He doesn't want to cause more trouble, so he doesn't explode on the spot.  But he couldn't let go of the grudge and chat with the other person, so the conversation was relatively cold.

    Wang Shouyu wanted to invite Tong Baimei to join Yuanjue Hall, but Tong Baimei refused. He simply reached an agreement to ask Yuanjue Island to open a route to Baimei Port in Halong Bay, and Tong Baimei left Yuanjue Hall in a hurry.

    A few days later, the ship arrived at Qinzhou Port and went ashore for repairs as usual. Tong Baimei gained a lot this time. He unexpectedly encountered the precious Zhuge self-propelled plow sold by Four Seasons Bank, although the price of the self-propelled plow had already reached 20 in Qinzhou Port.  For five taels of silver, he bought three units without hesitation.

    He can only buy three units, and one development license is limited to one unit, and he will not sell any more.  Tong Baimei found out that Zhang Xian was extremely prescient in applying for three licenses in a row that day.

    After two months away, Tong Baimei once again returned to the home he built with his own hands. There was another trestle in Baimei Port. There was a sea-going ship docked beside the trestle. I don¡¯t know whose it belongs to.  At the same time, Zhang Xian and Lou Huanqiu finally built the inn.  A row of six wooden buildings stands neatly on a separate open space, adjacent to the "main village" of Baimei Port, separated by a five-foot-wide street. Three of the wooden buildings have been occupied.  Got people.

    Tong Baimei asked the homeless people to get off the boat, and poured the soil dug by each person from the Songjiang River into a pool in the center of the "home village", completing a small ceremony, and then asked others to help unload the boat.

    Lou Huanqiu told him that there had been strange movements on the edge of the territory in the past two days. It was suspected that some kind of monster had broken into it. Zhang Xian was investigating and might come back at night.

    Tong Baimei smiled and said: "I'm lucky this time. I bought three Zhuge self-propelled plows. They are on the boat. Look back."

    Lou Huanqiu was overjoyed: "With these three self-propelled plows, we can open up the valley in the east, at least 800 acres! Grain production here is easy, with three crops a year, which can completely solve the problem of feeding thousands of people."  , then we can go to Haiyang to recruit people. There are a lot of refugees in Haiyang. The local officials in Li State really don¡¯t know how to handle government affairs. Even with such good land, many people starve to death every year. What do you think?  This is a big deal.¡±

    Tong Baimei smiled and said: "You can go, but be careful about the impact. Don't make too much trouble. Don't start a fight like last time."

    Lou Huanqiu nodded: "Understood." Then he sneered: "Our fleet has just cleaned up the East China Sea. I heard it is very large. If Xiao Li really dares to make trouble, we will invite the fleet back and beat them! I saw Abbot Zhao's recent  A lie told once at a banquet for meritorious service, Abbot Zhao said that the inspection fleet must shoulder its mission and become a strong backing for all overseas monks and people of the Ming Dynasty!"

    Tong Baimei has also read this report. He was deeply touched by what Zhao Ran said. He felt that it was indeed a good point, but he still reminded: "Our fleet is only conquering the East China Sea, and there is also the South China Sea in between.  It will not be too late to say this after conquering the South China Sea. In short, although we are not afraid of making trouble, it is still troublesome."

    Lou Huanqiu said: "Okay, I will go to Haiyang tomorrow. How many people will I recruit this time?"

    Tong Baimei said: "Let's recruit a hundred people first. It's much cheaper to recruit people from Xiaoli than from the mainland. I specially hired a gentleman this time to not only teach our own children how to read and read, but also teach all the people  People can read and read, and the refugees in Li country can also learn to speak the language of the heavenly kingdom."

    After chatting for a while, Tong Baimei asked: "Who are the people staying in the inn?"

    Lou Huanqiu said: "I don't know. She is a female nun with a child. She doesn't talk when she comes, and she doesn't go anywhere, but she doesn't lose a penny for food and accommodation. The sailors she brought live in two wooden buildings.  , she lives in a building by herself and doesn¡¯t go out all day long"

    Just as he was talking, Lou Huanqiu pointed behind Tong Baimei. Tong Baimei turned around and took a look, and was stunned.

    Standing in front of the door of the wooden building was a graceful and beautiful woman, holding a three or four-year-old girl in her left hand. She stood leaning on the railing and looked at the girl with white eyebrows.

    Tong Baimei also stared at her, speechless for a long time.

    After a while, the beautiful woman pointed at Lou Huanqiu and said to the little girl: "Go and play with Uncle Lou. Mother wants to tell something to your uncle."

    The little girl was also well-behaved. She came down from the bamboo building, jumped up to Lou Huanqiu, grabbed his sleeve and said, "Uncle Lou, take me to play."

    Lou Huanqiu looked confused and didn't understand what was going on. However, he saw Tong Baimei turning around and waving at him: "Take care of the child." Then he took the child's hand and left, looking back as he walked.  .  But Tong Baimei and the beautiful woman have already entered the wooden building.

    "Senior brother, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you doing?"

    ¡°Junior sisteryou and the teacherthis child"

    This beautiful woman was Zhu Qigu. She sighed and said quietly: "You knew I was pregnant that day, didn't you? You didn't hesitate to fall out with the teacher and leave us."

    Tong Baimei was silent for a moment and said, "How are you in the South China Sea?"

    Zhu Qigu smiled: "Of course it's good. But I didn't expect that the senior brother would also come, and he also created a big foundation. Baimei Port is well-known on the surrounding sea."

    Seeing that Tong Baimei was silent, Zhu Qigu said again: "Elder brother, you can cheer up like this and no longer feel depressed. I am very happy for you"

    Tong Baimei turned away and looked to the side, looking a little uncomfortable.

    Zhu Qigu continued: "Elder brother, don't worry. If you don't want to, the teacher and I will not force you to go to Yunji Island. I am here just to see you and ask you some questions."  .¡±

    "What's up?"

    ¡°Senior brother, can you tell me what happened to Yingtian four years ago?¡±

    Tong Baimei frowned and said: "The whole world knows that Mr. Zhu rebelled. This is an iron case with conclusive evidence. Do you still want to turn it over? He sat on the dragon chair without the consent of the Taoist sect and was bitten by the dragon plaque. At that time, he was  Many people in the palace saw it.¡±

    Zhu Qigu shook her head: "I just want to hear what you saw and heard, senior brother. Everyone was in Yingtian that day, and we sailed away with the teacher. Only the eldest brother stayed, and he should be the one who experienced it."

    Tong Baimei took out the wine gourd and poured a sip into his mouth. After swallowing it, he said, "Well, if you still don't give up, I'll tell you."

    So, Tong Baimei hid him in Yingtian City, and recounted what he heard with his own ears the bells of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, saw with his own eyes the red formation, and how Zhu Xianjian banned the capital and searched Zhao Zhiran.  He also mentioned the gathering of monks in front of the palace gate, and told various stories about how Zhao Zhiran led his army to attack the city.

    Tong Baimei narrates these things as a bystander. Since he is not involved in any of them, his perspective is more similar to that of an ordinary commoner in the capital, but it is just that he can see, hear, and feel more clearly than the common people in the capital.  Just a little more.
