Chapter Eleven Letters
Shao Tingda and Yan Qing embarked on the way to Yuegang together. One took the mission of selling land to recruit people to obtain land and seeking reputation, while the other went to survey the terrain and selected a suitable land for a restaurant and inn from the land under Chen Qianhu's name.
What really touched Yan Qing was not the conditions offered by Chen Mu. The three-point interest could not make Yan Qing, who owned a restaurant, moved, but the vision built by Chen Mu. Only by integrating restaurants, inns, shops, and warehouses into one and operating a guild hall belonging to the commerce industry, can Yan Qing really be interested.
Of course, it is impossible to entrust Xiao Yan's shopkeeper to Chen Mu. Before leaving, Lao Yan repeatedly reiterated his wishes to Yan Qingyao, the soldiers are very fierce, and they are far away from Chen Junye. If they are evil, our family can't stand it!
Before the county magistrate Zhou Xing sent the second batch of military officers to the Qianhu Office in Xiangshan, a lot of things happened.
The juren Li Tao asked someone to send a letter from the capital, saying that he had arrived safely and was preparing for the exam. The letter was full of stories about his experiences along the way, saying that Ningguo Mansion vaccinated children with acne in Taiping County last year to prevent smallpox, and also said that this year, the envoy of the Nanjing Weaving and Dyeing Bureau Zhang Jinchao selected daughters for the emperor in Huguang, Nanzhili and other places. The news was heard all over the world, which scared every household along the way so that they were about to get married quickly, which attracted a lot of joy.
This is a matter in the east, and a matter in the west, it is a few veterans from Guangxi who will send a monk to Chen Mu.
"The monk is called Chang Wei, and his Dharma name is Tianshi. He is a disciple of Shaolin Temple in Songshan. In the 32nd year of Jiajing, the court issued a manifesto to Shaolin Temple in Songshan, and ordered Shaolin to send a monk to fight against the Japanese. The abbot's monk Fangran beat the mountain gate according to Shaolin rules before going down the mountain. He selected 31 elite monks, led by the abbot's disciple, Master Yuekong, rode his horse and held a stick, and took a sword and spear and a long sword down the mountain."
"In the battle of Baishawan, Songjiang, the government army shrank and refused to move forward because they were defeated first. The monks sank three ships and killed more than a hundred Japanese soldiers. When they arrived in Quanzhou, the monks left 18 people, established the Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou, and attacked Qixing Island with the soldiers and civilians. The abbot of Quanzhou Yuekong formation killed the leader Heitian, and then followed Yu to kill him in the Battle of Chaozhou."
The letter was written by Yu Dayou. The old general's writing was vigorous, and Chen Mu continued to read it one by one.
"For more than ten years of war, all the monks were gone. The monk Tianshi was the eldest disciple of Abbot Yuekong. He broke the law in Quanzhou and was appointed as the army to listen to him. When he was fighting for the remnants of Wu Duan, he was killed by arrows. I once had an old age with Shaolin. Now he is the only one left in the monk's army. He couldn't bear to die on the battlefield and was transferred to Qianhu House, Xiangshan, and listen to him under Chen Qianhu."
"I hope Qianhu will take good care of his life. The man has a good reputation for sticks and spears. He can be the instructor of Qianhu Banner Army."
Chen Mu read the letter and looked up at the monk sitting in the hall and a few veterans who were sending the monk over.
The veterans had nothing to see, they were all Yu's army. The monk's hair was white in his fifties, but his gray monk's robe could not cover his strong body. His muscles were trained to his neck. He carried a thirty-pound mixed iron stick with a bumpy thirty kilogram stick with a borrowed knife on his waist. He was not a bare head with half an inch of white hair, and a big white beard under his jaw.
Lao Jianmei looked very fierce.
Not to mention that Yu Dayou gave him a wonderful achievement at the Governor's Office in Guangcheng, the name Yu Dayou, a national hero who fought against Japanese pirates in history in the past, even if he sent a stupid child like Wei Balang, he would obediently raise him to become a talent.
What's more, such a glaring arhat!
"General Yu said that the mage can be the instructor of the gun technique of Chen's flag army. Since the general said that the mage can do it, he must have the ability to do it. However, the mage must listen to Chen's driving and do not refuse if there is anything, and violates the military law." Chen Mu looked at the monk and asked, "Is the mage willing?"
"Um!"
The monk nodded in a muffled voice. When Chen Mu observed him, he had not observed Chen Mu. He was young and sat in a thousand households and spoke without being impatient. The two people behind him held Japanese swords clearly had Japanese pirates for many years, but they were obedient and looked like figures.
"Military law is better than precepts. Buddha doesn't need anything else. A house with no people does not need to be big. Three pounds of beef and five pounds of rice a day should be enough."
"Nothing else, don't want anything."
Oh!
Joining the story, Yu Dayou sent him a Lu Zhishen? No wonder he grew so big!
"The food and salary are easy to talk about, those soldiers." Chen Mu nodded in response. He didn't see this little meat rice. He was one pound of beef, one cent silver, and one stone of rice was more than six cents, which was one tael of silver per month. Chen Mu was more interested in Yu Dayou's letter, and waved to several Yu family troops and said, "The general said in the letter that he was fighting with the remaining party in Guangxi, what happened to him?"
Leader Wu also gave him a first contribution to Xinjiang Town. Why did Wu Duan rebel again in a blink of an eye?
"When returning to Chen Qianhu, Wu Shou was infected with miasma in Guangxi. Later, Wang Shiqiao rebelled again and was cut off by his subordinates and asked our general to obtain the merits."
Chen Mu nodded and signaled that he knew, and waved to Qi Zhengyan to arrange food and accommodation for the military men. Yu Dayou was coming back soon, so they didn't have to go to Guangxi to repay him. The letter asked these people to temporarily live in the Qianhu Station of Xiangshan.
The same is true for the great monk. He said that he would pick someone up to live with his house in a few days, and he would temporarily live in the wing room of Qianhu Yamen.
After seeing these people off, Chen Mucai walked out of the front hall with a little confusion, sat down in the backyard pavilion, and looked at the coconut trees in a daze.
"Thousand Houses."
When Shiqi, who was recruited from Qianhu Yamen, walked into the backyard and saw Chen Mu looking at the coconut tree in a daze, thought for a while and walked slowly to him and bowed: "Are you looking for me?"
"Come on, sit down."
Chen Mu saw Shi Qi and then looked back and asked, "Have you set up a hundred households?"
"It's almost done in two days. Are you?" Shiqi pointed to the coconut tree in the pond. It was obvious that Chen Mu was stunned. Then he asked carefully: "What happened?"
"Wu Duan is dead, Xinjiang Town and we will fight against Li Yayuan."
Chen Mu supported his arm on his knees, opened his palms and held them a few times, as if he wanted to grab something, but in the end he just sighed, "The miasma in Guangxi. After his death, Wang Shiqiao, the subordinate of his men, rebelled and was defeated by General Yu, and later his subordinates cut off his head to receive the merits."
There are unexpected situations in the sky, and people will have good fortune and good fortune. Wu Duan, who has never retreated from the bloody battle at Xinjiang Bridge, was not defeated by the rebels but died at the hands of miasma. The fierce and powerful general Wang Shiqiao died in humiliation at the hands of his own people.
The bandit name is Huayao Humple, the powerful leader Wu Duan and his Japanese pirates and bandits under his command, were completely pacified by the court this time.
"The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook."
Shi Qi paused for a long time, shook her head and didn't say anything.
"Recently, merchants from Fujian have come to Guangguang. Their purpose is to smuggle Haojing. The Hundred Houses are basically completed. The new flag army is gradually attracting, so it is time to prepare for training." Chen Mu stood up and said to Shi Qi: "From now on, the flag army will be rotated outside the Qianhu Yamen for training in two days, and let them cut wood into poles, and a general flag will come to practice every day."
"You will be guided by another general flag, set up checkpoints on the road, and sell some porcelain and silk utensils. We will be advised to be careful of the thieves in Huangliangdu. If you can, you will let them go, and don't make things difficult for these serious business dealers."
