Chapter 216 Persuasion
"How is your progress?" Half an hour later, on the way back to the inn that Wang Hai ordered, Zhengliang whispered to Liu Le beside him.
"Your Highness, my subordinates have already discussed with Ximei," Liu Le replied, "Ximei promised to send the orphans to her yard first."
"Well, this may not be a proper way to deal with it," Zhengliang nodded and said.
"As for moving out of here, Qianmei still needs to consider it before she can make a decision," Liu Le continued to report.
"What do you mean?" Zhengliang asked. Originally, Liu Le was determined to follow Zhengliang to do something, but now he met his fiancée, which was a different matter.
"Your Highness, the minister's desire to follow him has never changed," Liu Le quickly bowed and said, "As for the girl Qian... hey, everything depends on God's will." It is obvious that Liu Le's indecisive style is causing trouble again.
"Hahaha, okay, don't worry, your Akane sister will follow you," Zhengliang said with a smile as soon as he was afraid of Liu Le's shoulders. Zhengliang had already thought about it. Once Zhang Qian was unwilling to follow Liu Le, Zhengliang would tie her to the Riben. As for the relationship, he could let Liu Le slowly cultivate her in the Riben.
"This..." Liu Le blushed when he heard what Zhengliang said, "Your Amy Girl". For the literati who was full of words, Zheng Liang's words were too explicit. Liu Le's cowardly attitude made Zheng Liang laugh again. Ming Feng Xiuzheng, who was a few steps away, was unwilling to touch his head when he saw this, and secretly wondered if the head of the family had encountered a happy event today, and actually laughed so happily. Speaking of Ming Feng Xiuzheng, he was really depressed. Because he couldn't understand Chinese at all and could not speak casually, so as not to reveal his identity, he basically stood behind Zheng Liang like a doll and did his best to protect him.
"By the way, you will go back to your Ai Mei later." Zhengliang said to Liu Le with a smile.
"No, Your Highness..." Liu Le was about to object. In his opinion, he came with Zhengliang this time to have a serious matter. How could he abandon the head of the family for his children's love and ignore it? But before he finished speaking, Zhengliang waved his hand to interrupt him.
"Xiuzheng, take fifteen taels of silver to Liu Le." Zhengliang turned his head and said to Ming Feng Xiuzheng, who was responsible for keeping the bag. Ming Feng Xiuzheng immediately bowed to accept the order, and then took out a ingot of ten taels of silver and five taels of silver from the package to Liu Le.
"Your Highness. Why is this?" Liu Le was puzzled when he saw Zhengliang ask him to go back to find his fiancée and send money again. He even suspected that Zhengliang was going to give up as his retainer.
"Haha, don't worry. Then this is the best money. Go back and get your father-in-law's funeral." It's almost the seventh thing, but this matter cannot be delayed anymore. At this moment, Liu Le's father-in-law's body is still hanging in the charity village outside the city. As a son-in-law, this matter is unacceptable. "After the funeral is over, you should stay there for the time being."
"Ah? Your Highness?" If it is necessary to handle the funeral of my father-in-law himself, it would be a bit unreasonable to stay with Zhang Qian after the funeral is over.
Zhengliang waved his hand and signaled Liu Le to listen carefully, "After staying there, you have three things you need to do immediately."
"Yes, Your Highness." When Liu Le heard that Zhengliang had a purpose to keep him there, he immediately bowed and listened.
"The first thing is to take good care of those orphans in Shitou. At the same time, let Shitou recruit more orphans in Ningbo City or even outside the city. If there are too many people, come and notify me immediately. I will ask Wang Hai to send someone to send some orphans back to the parcel first." Zhengliang's expression became serious, "The second thing is to find a way to convince Zhang Qian and follow you to return to the ri book." After all, the forced melon is not sweet. Zhengliang doesn't want to go to the step of forcibly tie Zhang Qian to the ri book.
When Liu Le's ears turned red when he heard Zhengliang talk about his marriage again.
"The last thing is particularly important," Zhengliang said in a raising voice.
As soon as he heard Zhengliang emphasize that the last thing was very important, Liu Le immediately looked solemn and listened quietly.
"Find a way to convince the craftsmen in the yard to make them willing to follow us back to the riben," said Zheng Liang. When the middle-aged Uncle Zhang was suspicious of Zhengliang's identity just now, Zheng Liang did not shy away and admitted frankly that there was such a paradise overseas, and that he was the landlord of this paradise. He also solemnly promised everyone that what he said before was true. Finally, he formally asked them to invite them to settle in the territory of the Luo family. As long as their family went there to settle, Zheng Liang was even willing to make a document as evidence.
Of course, Zhengliang did not tell his true identity. After all, the Japanese pirates are really rats crossing the street and everyone shouts to beat him. Although he is not a Japanese pirate, he will be implicated as long as he is involved. Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhengliang has not yet revealed his true identity.
Several people were obviously moved by Zhengliang's invitation, but they did not give any answers at once. After all, the relocation of the whole family is really a big deal, and for them, once they decide to follow Zhengliang, it is equivalent to becoming a fugitive. Unless they hide in the mountains and settle down, they will definitely not escape the arrest of the yamen runners. The Ming Dynasty's laws on escaping for craftsmen were very strict. Once they escaped, even those who did not report the information would be punished.
In order to further win over these people, Zhengliang decided to send Liu Le to invade them and strengthen their confidence in following them. Besides, Zhengliang now has an extremely favorable advantage. As the end of the year approaches, these craftsmen are about to be forced to serve in Kyoto, so they have to make a decision in a short time and then start to move away secretly.
"If they follow me, then you need to cooperate secretly with them to go to the clover first," Zhengliang whispered, "Okay, what you want to do is very important to our family. You can play Zhang Qian right now."
"My dear, please rest assured, I will definitely live up to your expectations." Feeling that his mission is of great importance, Liu Le gave Zhengliang a solemn greeting.
Zhengliang waved his hand and signaled that there was no need to be polite, and at the same time, he signaled that he could go to carry out the task immediately.
Liu Le bowed to Zhengliang again, then resolutely turned around and rushed to Zhang Qian's residence with firm steps.
Looking at Liu Le's departure, Zhengliang sighed slightly. In fact, there was another reason why Zhengliang didn't say that when he asked Liu Le to return to Zhang Qian's office. That is, what Zhengliang did next might be dangerous, and it might be a bit dangerous. So in order to avoid the difficulty of Liu Le, who received Confucian education, was unable to do it at that time, he had to dispatch him.
