Chapter 375 Wantong Returns
Everyone was happy to be going home, and it was much easier to pack things up.
Although everyone's private treasury must have at least one tael or eight taels of silver, but they are also reluctant to leave useful things.
As a result, something went wrong with this clean-up.
Some people originally wanted to bury a bunch of unused things, and throw the leftover bones into the sea, but the traces of their lives must be dealt with, right?
I just wanted to dig some soil to bury it, but unexpectedly found a gold mine!
"Gold mine!" Wu Youwei and Zhang Shen stood up together!
Those people nodded in unison: "That's right, it's a gold mine, and it's still a big gold mine!"
The island is very big, but they only live in sheltered places on the outside, and because there are fresh water sources inside, few people have damaged the environment in the past.
According to the old people, every island with fresh water is a favor bestowed by the Goddess of the Sea to those who are wandering at sea.
Therefore, it cannot be destroyed, but must be protected.
But some of their ships needed repairs, and they needed wood. They went up to one of the three mountains on the island to cut wood, and found gold mines.
The gold mine can be seen as soon as the ground is lifted, and some of it is exposed, but it is only on the rocks on the mountain, and it has not been discovered at first glance!
"It is estimated that people will go to mine gold mines." Zhang Shen rubbed his hands excitedly, and walked around for a long time.
Wu Youwei couldn't think of it either, where would there be gold mines in later generations?
No matter how excited they are, time flies, and things that should be arranged should be arranged well.
After listening to Wu Youwei's instructions, the butler went out with money to buy a large amount of green vegetables, especially spinach, rapeseed, water spinach and other green vegetables with a short growth cycle, which were sent to the military camp continuously. On the day of returning to the voyage, the cauldron was fired.
Mushroom rapeseed, spinach with nuts, garlic spinach, salt and pepper cabbage, melon and vegetable soup.
The big white rice was steamed, and the eggplant and beans were also packed. During this time, I planned to clean up the stomach of the army, put more vegetables and less meat.
Floating at sea for such a long time really makes people feel distressed just thinking about it.
On the first day of April, the navy returns.
Wantong stood on the warship, looking at the shadows of people on the pier in the distance, but in the sea of people, he still saw Wu Youwei at a glance... There is no way, it's not that there is a tacit understanding, but that Wu Youwei is standing At the front, apart from Zhang Shen, he is the most
And Zhang Shen's eunuch's clothes are too conspicuous, Wu Youwei is standing next to him, one is red and the other is cyan, they are a good match!
The navy sailed back here at Bailong Port. Everyone knows that this is a military port and there is also a navy barracks.
On the other side, taking advantage of the return of the navy today, many people went to Bailong Port to watch the excitement. Many large ships entered Yingdao quietly. These ships had a deep draft and the things on board were very... .
On the other side, Wantong and the others got off the boat, and Wu Youwei and Zhang Shen greeted them.
Wantong and Wu Youwei were very sensible this time, and they were not the first to hug each other, but Zhang Shen hugged Zhou Zhong: "Going to sea Yang Wei, not bad!"
Zhou Zhong also gave Zhang Shen a hug back: "You are not bad, all the achievements in defending the city belong to you."
Seeing that the two eunuchs are like this, why want to be polite?
He hugged Wu Youwei into his arms and patted him: "I'm back!"
Um! "Wu Youwei felt his eyes heat up, and his nose soured, saying, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back!" "
Thousands of words are not as real as these four words.
Liu Ju touched his nose, he didn't know who to turn to to express his excitement.
But then he was overwhelmed by the crowd, and many people shouted: "My lord! My lord!"
Then come rushing over, hugging and celebrating each other.
It's just that there were too many people, everyone winked and didn't hug Wantong, and no one dared to open their arms to Wu Youwei...
Even in the middle of the week, I don't know how many people have hugged me and expressed my excitement.
After going out for half a year, can you not be excited!
I went to sea in September last year, and now I only come back in April.
Afterwards, everyone rode horses, rode in cars, and walked to Wusong camp. After all, they were going back to the camp.
Along the way, the banners were flying, and the army was neat and tidy.
People who couldn’t enter Hong Kong to welcome them stood guard on both sides of the road. When they saw them coming, some approached them for food, and some girls and young wives threw flower petals. The weather in Shanghai is hot, and there is no shortage of flowers, let alone Missing petals, okay, these iron-blooded soldiers are covered with the fragrance of flowers for the first time.
There are also brave girls stuffing purses into their hands.
Liu Ju looked straight at it. In the past, no one loved their daughters to marry military households. Now, why is Shanghai so enthusiastic?
When they arrived at Wusong Camp, everyone entered the camp, and the lieutenants inside had already dumped their things, and they had dinner as soon as they entered the camp.
Seeing the food prepared by Wu Youwei, Liu Ju and the others really didn't even look up!
"On this journey, some fungus is considered a dish, and the remaining dried meat and sea fish taste like a mouthful of salt." Liu Ju sighed while chewing vegetables. Why did he like to eat vegetables in the past?It's suitable for two casual bites of this food, but his father likes to eat it.
But after a trip to the sea, I haven't seen many green leafy vegetables in half a year, but now I think they are delicious.
"Isn't it!" Zhou Zhong echoed while eating the vegetables: "How could our family be greedy for vegetables before? It's almost the same if we are greedy for any delicacies.
The hardest part of the journey is the middle of the week.
It is inconvenient for an eunuch to be an eunuch, and he is afraid of being looked down upon by others, and he has to get along well with others if he wants to supervise the army. Fortunately, Wantong and Liu Ju are both his own people, and they respect him very much.
And they were able to bring back their own people all the way, without losing a single person, because they supported each other. When a big wave came and overturned the boat, all those who fell into the water were caught immediately. The boat may be lost, but the people cannot be lost.
When Wantong was eating, Wu Youwei continued to pick up vegetables for him, all of which were fresh and green vegetables.
Especially the cabbage with vinegar and pepper. It is said that many people like this juicy green vegetable, and people have added it to the plate several times.
Wu Youwei has never left Wantong since he started eating, and Wantong is similar. What is rare is that he can still watch people while eating, without feeding the food into his nose.
Seeing this, I didn't feel like talking about things.
Fortunately, after eating, everyone dispersed, so I went back to tidy up temporarily.
Wu Youwei also followed Wantong to his dormitory.
That's right!
Although this is a military center and a barracks, when Wu Youwei built it, he followed the requirements of later generations. There were all concrete houses with bunk beds, and each room had half a fire wall for heating.
Officials are of course different from ordinary soldiers. The smallest official position has a one-bedroom-one-living room as a dormitory.
Like Wantong, there is not only one room and one living room, but also guest rooms, reception rooms, small meeting rooms for meetings, and a small kitchen.
It's just that Wantong and Liu Ju share the joys and sorrows of the soldiers and never use the small kitchen.
As for the bedroom, Wantong's bedroom is the same as that of Liu Ju and Zhang Shen, except that there are two pillows on the bed instead of one.
It's still the kind of long pillow, because Wu Youwei sleeps dishonestly, when Wantong is with him, he will hug him to sleep, but if Wantong gets up in the middle of the night and leaves the bed to go to the bathroom or something, he will put the pillow on the pillow. Wu Youwei was surrounded by a quilt on the other side to prevent him from turning over and rolling out of bed when he was not around.
So Wantong has two quilts, which are spread on the bed.
The two of them didn't let go of each other's hands all the way, and the eyes that stuck together were so sweet that it made one's teeth ache.
Simply everyone is in the joy of returning, and they just smile knowingly when they see them.
The two entered the house, changed into lighter clothes, lay on the bed, and cuddled each other, as if the missing piece in their hearts had been filled.
"I'm really worried about you." Wu Youwei hugged Wantong and didn't let go: "It will be half a year after leaving, how can I bear it?"
Wantong touched the soft head of the man in his arms: "I can't bear it, but I didn't expect that overseas bandits are so lucrative. I don't want you to raise a huge army and people will always speculate about you."
Don't say Wantong doesn't understand political affairs, even if they didn't understand it before, they understand it now.
In particular, Liu Ju talked a lot with him. Liu Yongcheng was able to be in charge of the world's military supervisor as an eunuch. His knowledge was even incomparable to the current emperor.
That's why he took people with him. After he got a lot of gold and silver treasures for the first time, he didn't return to the voyage. Someone sent a message to him, and then he started the journey of making a fortune.
Is he really willing to covet those treasures without going back?
Of course not, but he wanted his subordinates to understand that the imperial court supports them, but at the same time, they can also give themselves some oil and water.
"Huh?" Wu Youwei thought for a while and understood what he meant: "Really, it's just such a small amount of money.
"For some people, your little money is a lot of money!" Wantong squeezed his paw amusedly: "How can you make money so much?"
The key is that Wu Youwei didn't make a fortune alone, he brought everyone together to make a fortune, and anyone who got close to him could live comfortably.
"I'm smart!" Wu Youwei was triumphant.
"Well, yes!" Wan Tao said: "I heard from them in the middle of the week that the dignitaries in Beijing think you are a god of wealth and shouldn't let you go out of Beijing to work in such a poor and remote place like Shanghai. If you go The Ministry of Households, to ensure that Daming is not short of money and food.
"Really?" Wu Youwei thought for a while, "I didn't go to the Ministry of Household Affairs, so Daming didn't have food shortages either."
Wantong laughed: "You can deliberately misinterpret my meaning!"
Wu Youwei moved, and changed into a more comfortable position: "I'm here, Shanghai is very good, this place allows me to show my skills."
Looking at Shanghai today, there are already signs of the Pearl of the Orient in later generations.
Not to mention Songjiang Mansion, Shanghai County has already surpassed Songjiang Mansion in people's eyes, and it is very famous in Jiangnan.
This kind of fame is not only reflected in the prosperity, but also in Wu Youwei's strict regulations.
How many people want to open a brothel here, or even a gambling house, but they can't get in.
But they still dare not play tricks. Originally, there were only 1 people stationed in Wantong's Zhenwei camp. What about now?The naval army has recruited 2 people, and Liu Ju's Fenwu camp has 1 people.
The navy is still expanding, with [-] to [-] troops on the alert, who would dare to cause trouble in Shanghai County?
At the same time, the coastal victory also made people know that Shanghai's combat effectiveness was even stronger than that of Jinshanwei.
"Well, yes!" Wan Tongdao: "Are you building Shanghai according to your era?"
Because Wu Youwei insisted on some places, such as the Bund, insisted on calling it Bund No.18 or something.
What is the distinction between the old city, the new city, and the second and third rings.
"That's right!" Wu Youwei said, "The new urban area is now called the new urban area, and when it is expanded, the new urban area will be called the Second Ring Road!"
Hahaha!
This title is too appropriate!
Wantong couldn't laugh or cry: "It's up to you, as long as you like it.
Anyway, Wu Youwei has the final say here.
"If I develop this place well, the taxation in the future will be amazing." Wu Youwei said: "I also built a factory area. When the time comes, there will be more workers here, and naturally there will be more people. There will be all kinds of cloth, etc. Once I have the inventory, I will apply to open the Fu." "Open the Fu?" Vantone frowned: "Isn't Guangzhou opening the Fu?" Kaifu means opening up and building a new city, or opening the city to the outside world.
In fact, Wu Youwei was already preparing for this, but the name he gave was different, he called it "Investment Bow Attracting Capital".
"The one in Guangzhou is from Guangzhou. I want to open it in Shanghai." Wu Youwei said, "For example, cloth. In the future, there will be a lot of things. It will cause |inflation if it is exported to China, but what if it is exported to foreign countries? For example, on the opposite side the Japanese country?"
"Wo country?" Wantong curled his lips: "That place... is pretty poor, right?"
