Chapter 397: Sea Pen Holder (Four Changes)
With the two generals of the Dragon and Tiger, Tang Yi's waist was straight all of a sudden, he didn't stay in Hangzhou for long, and set off immediately, in addition to him, many businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang also moved when they heard the news.
They have long known that Tang Yi is going to Quanzhou to open the sea, once the sea ban is opened, business opportunities will come to them, and they are still a little hesitant to do things for others, but Tang Yi's golden signboard for many years, following Tang Zhuangyuan to have meat to eat, that is the consensus of the big guys.
When he went south from Taicang, there were only three ships, and when he met Yu Dayou, there were more than a dozen ships at once, and when he came out of Hangzhou, there were more than a hundred large and small ships at once.
If nothing else, this appeal alone has to be amazing.
If someone else opens the sea, no matter how strong the ability is, in two or three months, it will not be possible to let the ship go to sea, and it will be wasted for a year.
Tang Yi also relaxed a lot, he is actually quite lazy, when he relaxes, he becomes greedy for comfort, and he is reluctant to get up.
Wang Yueying took the breakfast and sent it into the cabin and put it in front of Tang Yi, "Official, hurry up and eat, it's lunch next time." β
"Hee-hee, good daughter-in-law, how about you feed me?"
Wang Yueying's face turned red in an instant, grabbed Tang Yi's ears angrily, and said angrily: "Look at you, do you still look like a big man?" I wonder how you got the title! β
"Wrong, very wrong!" Tang Yi said unashamedly: "In this life, hardship and happiness are equal, for example, some people have a dull life, and some people have ups and downs, with peaks and valleys. What about me. In the first few years, I suffered too much, and the sweat I paid could fill several bath buckets, so ah, God gave me a good daughter-in-law, and I could relax easily. β
Wang Yueying was amused by him. "Crooked, let me feed you, but you have to promise me one thing."
"Don't say one, ten or eight will do."
"Not so much, just one piece." Wang Yueying grabbed the fritters, stuffed them into Tang Yi's mouth, fed him two more mouthfuls of gruel, and then sighed: "Help Sister Meijun." β
"Mei Jun, who?" Tang Yi was at a loss.
"It's Miss Shen. The big name is Shen Meijun. Wang Yueying exhaled angrily: "I took people all the way, why don't you even know a name." β
"Ask her what she does, it's enough for me to remember one woman's name, and that's you!" Tang Yi laughed presumptuously.
Wang Yueying finally believed that Tang Yi had no idea about Miss Shen, she was ashamed and happy, sweet and sweet, and her heart was full of sweetness.
"Brother, Sister Mei Jun is indeed too pitiful."
Tang Yi bit the fritters. said vaguely: "There are many poor people in the world, right." You didn't send her to Shaoxing? β
Wang Yueying sighed, "Brother, how do you let me send it, Shaoxing is still fighting at the moment, and there are Japanese robbers all the way, so I let people inquire." Mr. Shen Qingxia's two sons and nephews were all assigned to Baozhou, and the eldest son, Shen Xiang, was the only one in Shaoxing, who was often arrested by the government because he was implicated by his father. Precarious. There are a lot of people in the Shen clan, but who can have the courage and financial resources to take care of an orphan girl! β
"But we can't leave a drag oil bottle next to us!" Tang Yi lamented: "Yueying, Shen Lian is a person who learns from the heart, and he is a good friend of my master, Mr. Jing Chuan, and that guy Xu Wei also asked others for advice in his early years. I should have done this favor both in public and private, but with his daughter by his side, things took a turn for the worse, and the loess mud fell into the crotch of his pants. β
"How?"
"It's not, it's!"
Wang Yueying's face was flushed with shame, and she scolded: "It's so vulgar that you are still the champion!" Anyway, I don't care, you don't accept Miss Shen, I'll accept it, I'll let her be a maid for me, so you don't have anything to say, right? β
"I'm talking!"
Tang Yi looked up to the sky and sighed, but what is the way, the ship is above the sea, he can't send a boat, turn around and send people back! It is indeed what Wang Yueying said, if people make a mistake, they will become their own faults.
"It's done, you can do it yourself, I don't want to have lice too much, and I don't have to worry if I have too many debts. Anyway, I offended the Yan Party, and I don't care if there is one more! β
Wang Yueying was excited, and stuffed things into Tang Yi in a big gulp, making his cheeks bulge, like a hamster. I have to say that women are very wonderful, when I learned that Tang Yi didn't mean anything to Shen Meijun, Wang Yueying and her quickly became best friends, Miss Wang's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, through the history subset, I really know a lot, as for Shen Meijun, the only commendable thing is cooking, but Wang Yueying's ten fingers don't touch the spring water, these two complement each other, sticking together all day long, so that Tang Yi wants to throw Miss Shen into the sea.
The large fleet was getting closer and closer to Quanzhou, and it was not too peaceful along the way, and it encountered three Japanese invaders, and also encountered several sailors of the Ming army. With Yu Dayou, a fierce general, many widows fled in despair, and those who didn't open their eyes were directly solved by Yu Dayou.
Tang Yi also invited Yu Dayou over when he had time to learn about the situation of the Japanese Invaders.
In fact, since the implementation of the township bravery, the overall situation of the southeast anti-Japanese war has been constantly improving, and in Susong and Zhejiang, for example, the average village and town will have dozens of trained village warriors, and several surrounding villages and towns can form a joint defense system, and two or three hundred young and strong soldiers can be taken out.
As long as they guard the strong village, without three or five hundred Japanese robbers, they will not be able to fight it.
That is to say, the small group of Japanese bandits that were rampant in the past are completely out of play, and if they want to rob them, they must concentrate their forces and do it with open swords and guns.
Except for a few elites of the Ming army, the overall combat power is still not as good as that of the Japanese invaders, but the Ming army has a little advantage, that is, it is not afraid of losses, killing 800 enemies, and losing 1,000 self-losses is a big victory, and it can be replenished soon, but the Japanese do not have this convenience.
According to Yu Dayou, now that the two sides have entered a stalemate period, if the sea can be opened smoothly, more people can have jobs, and the bottom of the kettle will be withdrawn, the momentum of the entire anti-Japanese war will be reversed.
Yu Dayou sighed very much: "When I think of the hope of the Japanese Koukou being pacified, I am really happy in my heart, but I am also a little empty. β
"Hehe, Brother Yu, if you are afraid, there will only be more and more battles in the future." Tang Yi looked at the undulating sea and said: "The so-called Wokou Rebellion, its essence is the dispute between the sea and the land, my Chinese heritage for thousands of years, has always been equal to the sea and land, although the people who rely on the sea to eat do not account for the mainstream, but the total number of people is still much more than the average small country in Xiyi!" They can open up the territory, gallop on the sea, there is no reason why we can't do it, one day, let our banner be planted in every corner of the world, to let the sun and the moon shine, that is, the territory of the Ming Dynasty! β
Tang Yi kept talking, Yu Dayou listened silently, to be honest, he felt that Tang Yi was talking nonsense, but every sentence touched his heart, like a rainbow on the horizon, rising on the sea...... There is really a day when even if he dies, he can smile at Jiuquan.
The convoy entered the ground of Fujian, and on this morning, bathed in the rising morning glow, a continuous land line appeared in front of the fleet, and on the shore, many people were looking at it with their feet crossed.
"It's coming, it's finally here!"
It was Yang Jisheng, the prefect of Quanzhou, who spoke, but he was not soon, the prefect had fallen to Tang Yi, but he didn't have to leave Quanzhou, the appointment of the officials had been issued, Yang Jisheng was promoted to the Senator of Xingquan Dao because of his outstanding political achievements, from the fourth grade, in charge of Xinghua, Quanzhou, and Zhangzhou, and was half of Tang Yi's boss.
In fact, this arrangement is not a good intention, and it is clear that Yang Jisheng is to be pressed in Fujian and not let him move. But Yang Jisheng is as willing as a glutton, after being a magistrate for a few years, Yang Jisheng has changed a lot, he is still jealous and hateful, and still asks for the people's lives, but he also knows that many things must be compromised, we must learn to be rigid and soft, and we must attach importance to human relations......
Take the welcome to Tang Yi as an example, Yang Jisheng spared no expense, Quanzhou Mansion, Jinjiang County, large and small, civil and military officials, there were many, all of them arrived at the dock.
The officials, gentry, celebrities, landlords, businessmen, all who could come, and even the students of the government school and the county school came to join in the fun, vying to see the style of Wenqu Xing.
When Tang Yi's boat docked and set up a springboard, before Tang Yi came down, Yang Jisheng walked over quickly and had a sturdy bear hug with Tang Yi.
"Okay, I really can't imagine that we can meet again in Quanzhou!"
"Mr. Jiaoshan, in his later life, he remembered the teachings of Mr. Jiaoshan along the way, and he still remembers it vividly and has benefited a lot."
Yang Jisheng hurriedly waved his hand, "Xingzhi is laughing again, those of mine are all bookish spirits, it is okay to talk about it, but it is not true, but what is said is the truth of doing things, I have stumbled in the past few years, and finally found that I was too naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve in the past!" β
Yang Jisheng pulled Tang Yi, held hands, and came to the officials, Yang Jisheng said excitedly: "Everyone, this is the Tang Liuyuan that everyone dreams of, Lord Tang!" β
As soon as they heard this, the officials present bowed down one after another, saying: I will wait to meet Lord Fuzun!
Tang Yi was full of smiles, and was about to ask everyone to get up, but suddenly found a dark and thin official, standing proudly, just clenching his fists, and not kneeling down at all.
There were exactly two kneeling guys next to him, and these three people got together to form an interesting "mountain" shaped pen holder.
Without waiting for Tang Yi to speak, Yang Jisheng's face sank, and he said in his heart that your family is too bad for me.
"Haizhi County, why don't you kneel when you see Shangguan?"
The black and thin guy said proudly: "Lord Yang, the great grandfather has set the rules, and the grades are similar, then the east and west are opposite, the humble one bows down, and the venerable one returns the salute with his fists." If there is a difference in grade of two or three grades, then the humble is below, the venerable is above, and he still performs the courtesy, and the Tang Lord, as a noble Hanlin, is familiar with the imperial court system, and does not know the etiquette performed by the lower officials, what is wrong? β
After he said this, including Yang Jisheng, they were all looking at him like idiots, looking at him, what are you kidding, now it is the Jiajing Dynasty, not the time when the grandfather is too great, and you pay attention to the level of officials and crush people to death, not to mention that you are a county commander from a high background, and when you see the prefect from Hanlin, you don't kneel, you are going crazy!
Others whispered, but Tang Yi flashed a strong shock, and his heart turned upside down: "Good girl, this is not how the sea pen holder came, Lao Tzu doesn't want to be a foil for Hai Qingtian!" (To be continued.) )
