Chapter two hundred and six ice making
‘Tada…tada…’
At the time of Yin, a fast horse ran to Wanghai Town. After a brief exchange with the volunteers on duty, he rushed into the town quickly.
"Honor, there is news coming from the port."
After a while, Li Zhi, who was worried and worried at home, was waiting for the battle, finally got news from the port.
Since Li Shan had left the whitewash, his eldest son was plotted to death by Cai Yan, and the old man was dying again, resulting in the fact that no one of the Li family could use it after all. The port could only send two divine powers and a few internal interest to make up the number.
Divine power and inner energy are all errands in the port where masters gather. They are all errands, and they are arranged to do tasks when arranging defenses, which allows them to come back to report the news after the entire incident is over.
The first news brought back by the person who gave the reward scared Li Zhi into a cold sweat.
During the interrogation, the pirates naturally told the town's plan, but they were all trapped in the port without implementing it.
Li Zhi knew very well that if the pirates really came, the Li family would be in danger.
Although there are many strong men gathered by the Li family tenants, they are not enough to face the extremely vicious pirates, let alone the perfect strong man, Sha Biao.
While being lucky, he also scolded Fang Chen half-death in his heart. If this kid hadn't let Cai An come back and build a fishing boat, how could he have attracted the attention of the pirates?
The Fang family, which has only more than 200 households, actually built nearly 50 fishing boats of all sizes, and lined up by the sea. Can it not attract attention?
He was even thinking, should he just burn the fishing boat while the boy and most of the Fang family were gone? But when he thought of the boy's temperament, he had to give up with the Fang family's left-behind staff. If the boy got the news, he would not demolish the Li family.
The subsequent news made Li Zhi's heart sank again. The possibility of continuous attacks and related connections between the county town made him feel extremely stressed.
With his mind, even if there is not much information sent back, it is enough to remind him of many things.
A shark blew up the harbor. What if there were more? Although that kid was strong, he was not innate after all. Can he still resist the more perfect pirates?
Although I was very reluctant, I had to admit that the boy had become Fuyu's biggest reliance. If he couldn't even resist, Fuyu would have no future. Each family would be a local rich man.
As for the county city, he was very reluctant to let the people in the county city intervene at this time. Even if the people in the county city could not stop it, it would be like planning to build the port first and integrate the interests of the entire Fuyu, so that there would be bargaining chips for negotiation.
If the county town was asked to intervene at this time and still take the initiative to invite him, he had no doubt that by means of those people, he could completely break up and divide the unstable interest groups in Fuyu. What would happen then? They would have no choice but to have Fuyu people.
Thinking back to the fact that the county city had tried its best to squeeze Fuyu, a burst of anger surged in his heart.
In the port of my own territory, I could only drink some soup and the meat was eaten by outsiders, and no one would be willing to change it.
In addition, there is a more serious problem. Wanghai is close to the sea. A few years ago, a pirate came. This time, it was discovered by Sha Biao again, which is obviously unsafe. If the pirates come frequently, it would be early to have an accident.
But giving up looking at the sea means giving up the foundation of the Li family for hundreds of years, which he is very reluctant to do.
It’s just that the land and industries in Wanghai are there. As long as there are people and the county town industries are supported, the impact is not very big. If you change the place, you can recover it in at most two years.
What really made him embarrassed were the ancestral halls and ancestral tombs.
It is a great disrespect to shock our ancestors, and it is a great incompetence to give up our ancestors. What will happen to you in the future to meet our ancestors?
Of course, if it is compared with the extermination of the clan, the ancestors should be able to understand it.
But now he hasn't reached that situation, and he still has some luck in his heart, or some expectations for someone. The boy is as smart as a ghost, and must have thought of a problem. If he wants to bring people back and make arrangements, maybe the Li family will not have to leave their hometown.
……………………
On the other hand, someone who was expected had already entered the city smoothly by relying on his identity. As he expected, how could those county soldiers dare to lock him out of the city?
For county soldiers, rules are not more important than life? The current person is now the existence of Fuyu, and to some extent, his influence is even greater than that of county lords.
The county magistrate is backed by the court, and may have a great influence on the official position, but the real governance still depends on local forces, and the power it controls is limited.
If the local forces are unhappy, they will not be able to do anything but disgrace, and the county magistrate will not be able to do so at that time.
But this person is different. He is a local snake and has extremely strong strength. What's even more terrifying is that the forces in the county follow him. To put it bluntly, he can control the life and death of 99% of the people in Fuyu with just one word.
Such a person would not dare to stop him if he had a hundred courage to use them!
After Fang Chen successfully entered the city, he went straight to a grocery store. The places selling saltpeter in the city were nothing more than pharmacies and grocery stores. The pharmacies were owned by three major families, so he couldn't be too arrogant, so he found a soft-seed grocery store.
When the grocery store owner was awakened by the sound of slapping the door, scolding him and opening the crack in the door to see clearly the person who shot the door, he almost fell to pieces on the spot.
The name of a person and the shadow of a tree. This person came late at night. His first reaction was that, it was over, this person was coming to kill the family!
"Shopkeeper, take out all the saltpeter in your store!"
"Gangmaster, please spare me! Gangmaster, please... Hum? Saltpeter?" Hearing the voice, the shopkeeper shivered suddenly, turned over and knocked hard, and kowtowed several times before he realized, and raised his head in shock.
Fang Chen was speechless. Is Buddha a man who is unreasonable? But to buy some saltpeter, is it necessary to react so exaggeratedly?
He has never gone out and has never realized how great his reputation is. It would have been fine if it were daytime. With the unity of the whole county, others may not think too much. But now it is late at night, the moon is dark and the wind is high. If the shopkeeper is not scared to death on the spot, he will be brave.
"Yes, take out all saltpeter, the more the better!" He could only repeat it.
"Ah? OK, I'll get it now, and get it now!" After hearing it clearly, the shopkeeper was ecstatic and suddenly felt like he was alive again. He rolled and crawled into the backyard.
After a while, he ran out quickly with a big bag at a speed that was not related to his body shape.
"Fang, Gang Master Fang, this is all the saltpeter in the store, look..." He put the bag in front of Fang Chen and said with a flattering smile.
When saltpeter is not used in gunpowder, it is not widely used and is generally used as medicine. Moreover, saltpeter cannot be used as a practice medicine. Only the treatment doctor will occasionally buy some. Therefore, the sales volume is not large, so the store naturally will not buy too much.
Fang Chen picked it up and weighed it. It was about 30 to 40 kilograms. After estimating it a little, he thought it should be enough. Moreover, saltpeter can be used repeatedly, so there is no need to worry about exhausting it.
"Very good, I'm disturbing late at night. I hope the shopkeeper should not be surprised!" He nodded with satisfaction, turned his hand, took out the silver ingot from the storage package, put it on the table, turned around and left.
The shopkeeper dared not be surprised. He even showed panic when he saw Yinzi. "Gang Master Fang, this little saltpeter is worthless, you..."
"Hold it!" Fang Chentou didn't reply. Although he acted domineeringly, he did not have the habit of forcing him to rob.
Seeing Fang Chen walking far away, the shopkeeper finally breathed a sigh of relief, collapsed to the ground, and his whole body was wet. For a short moment of contact with this person, it felt like he was walking on a mountain on his back and had been walking for a year.
Taking Saltpeter back to the main hall, Fang Chen went straight to the bathroom in the backyard.
There are six large bathrooms in the backyard, which were built by the father and son of the Yu family for women. One is dedicated to the main room and one is used in the concubine.
A man’s bathroom is much simpler, but one room with a bathtub.
After Fang Chen moved in, he had been using a bathtub and had never been to the bathroom. But at this time he had to practice iron crotch skills, the little water in the bathtub was obviously not enough.
After summoning his servants to fill the bathtub with water, he waved everyone away and prepared to pour saltpeter into it.
"Well? You go down first, let's talk about it tomorrow if you have something to do." Suddenly, he found that Qiao'er was still in the bathroom, but he didn't think much about it, just thinking that she had something to report.
But Qiaoer still didn't say anything and didn't leave. When Fang Chen raised his head in confusion and looked at her, he found that her pretty face was already red, and her head was so low that it was about to be buried in her chest.
As if he felt his look, Qiaoer seemed to have plucked up the courage, and the voice was almost inaudible: "Home, Master, please wait for you to take a shower..."
As he said that, his jade hand gently pulled the belt, and the gentle long skirt suddenly slid down, revealing a thin gauze and a graceful body that was faintly visible.
Fang Chen, who had always been talking and laughing and killing people, was calm and calm, but his breathing was suffocated, and an evil fire suddenly rose. He suddenly had a violent reaction, and a trace of blood red appeared in his eyes.
He came back to his senses and closed his eyes, tried to suppress his restlessness, and tried to keep his tone calm: "No need, you go out first!"
"The head of the family..."
"Go out!" Fang Chen directly interrupted her words, and his tone became a little heavier.
Qiaoer then picked up her long skirt and left in disappointment.
The best destination for the maid is to become the concubine of the master's family, but Qiaoer has never dared to have such ideas. Until the change in the eyes of the master's eyes at her before, she inevitably had some thoughts.
Fang Chen's conditions were really great. He was young, strong, and had a noble status. He was more than a hundred times stronger than those bad old men and playboys. For their maids with low status, being able to become a concubine of such a person is simply a blessing for ten lifetimes.
Therefore, even just one look makes it difficult for her to resist temptation.
But, it failed in the end...
Qiaoer tied her long skirt again and stood outside the bathroom for a long time. After a long time, she finally reluctantly left.
In the bathroom, Fang Chen took a deep breath, opened his eyes again, poured all the saltpeter into the pool water, and tried to keep calm and wait for the pool water to freeze.
He could probably guess some of Qiao'er's thoughts. If he had already become innate at this time, he wouldn't mind eating this pretty maid.
With his current status and status, he can do everything he wants and don’t care about other people’s opinions. To be honest, if he really has the heart, the whole lady of Fuyu, the daughter of a daughter can choose at will, and even as a concubine, many families are willing to send their daughters.
What's more, just a maid? In this era, even if you collect ten or a hundred, others will at most laugh and be romantic and will not take it seriously.
But it is really not the time. The pressure of the county city and the pressure of pirates cannot tolerate him being neglected at all, so he naturally cannot delay his time on women.
The heat absorption rate of saltpeter was not slow. After a moment when his thoughts floated, dozens of kilograms of saltpeter had condensed a layer of crystal at the bottom of the pond.
