Chapter 7
Chapter 7:
A few days ago, Qiongzhou came to a new guest who was not easy to mess with. The facial features and appearance were very similar to Ah Lang, almost carved out of a mold, but the person was thinner, with sunken eye sockets, eyeballs and fish. The eyes are slightly bulging. There is a scar on his face that crosses the brow bone, which looks even more hideous.
The young man’s name is Haibo and Abo Alang, originally a pair of brothers with the same father and mother. Unlike Ah Lang, who is sunny and outgoing, Ah Po looks very gloomy, and his gloomy appearance is not very flattering. After knowing that Abo was a local, Jiang Chaosheng’s people ignored him. Anyway, he lived in his own house and had no effect on them.
Returning to Ah Lang’s house, Ah Po took a sip of tea and sighed unintentionally: “The village has changed a lot.” The roads such as fish offal were all cleaned up, and a road was paved with gravel. It looked neat and clean, and he almost didn’t recognize it at the first time.
When he saw his brother who had been away for a long time, Ah Lang was very excited and took a long leave to entertain Ah Bo. He chopped the fish and said, “Now Qiongzhou has a new owner, and life is much better than before, and Grandma and the others are also there. The new owner works in his hands, stringing some beads and shells, and he can get a dozen or so coins at will.”
Abo smiled strangely, he was young, but his voice was hoarse like a middle-aged man: “I heard that the new owner of Qiongzhou seems to be from the capital, and he lives in that big mansion. A little money makes you do so much work, and you eat and drink spicy food, and you are bought by such a small favor?”
Ah Lang was not very happy to hear this: “What are you talking about, no one’s money comes from the wind, and the price he gave by King An was fair, higher than those of the big shops in Wangzhou. The children have gained a lot of weight, and when you see Grandma Azhu, her face is full of flesh, and her eyes are better than before.”
Jiang Chaosheng is not very short of money, but he lacks people to use. Except for the steps of remaking salt, which cannot be easily leaked, there is nothing else that cannot be done by outsiders. To be honest, the villagers of Xiaohai Village still have their own tricks in making dry goods, and they are no worse than the people in Kyoto. Jiang Chaosheng arranged for people in Xiaohai Village to work by hiring. He was not picky and could do it no matter how old he was.
They work on a piece-rate and time-based system, pay as much wages as they do, three meals are included, and even children can do some simple tasks. However, the people in Xiaohai Village eat a big pot of rice, and the woman who cooks them also hires local people from Xiaohai Village.
The place where these people lived was only five miles away from An Wang’s private residence. A group of old and weak women and children did not have the guts to steal and play slippery things, and ignorant of Jiang Chaosheng’s things. In fact, the people in Xiaohai Village are quite honest, but the food is a little better. A group of people are tearful, and they are especially grateful to Dade.
They are all pure and simple, and Jiang Chaosheng can’t bully his few people. Of course, he won’t give too much money, just improve the welfare and give out some worthless small commodities and the like.
Jiang Chaosheng sighed several times when he looked at the rich resources of the island, but his people were still too few. With enough people, all kinds of factories can be opened. In the past life, it was so difficult for everyone, and resources were destroyed. He has a lot of production materials in his mind, because no one can use them.
I am used to cheap daily necessities, and when I go to Wangzhou to buy goods, I always feel like I am being taken advantage of. However, the old and weak in Haicun have limited physical strength, and their own people can’t be squeezed at will.
Ah Bo didn’t quarrel with Ah Lang, he just asked him: “I plan to stay, please tell me and find a good job.”
His eyes narrowed like a cunning wolf: “Alang, we are brothers. Dad and Mommy left early and said they would take care of each other.”
Ah Lang was very happy when he heard the words, and patted his brother hard: “I told you, life outside is not so easy, everyone stays in their homeland, save some money, and then repair the house and marry a beautiful wife. .”
He took Abo to work under his own hands. What he was doing was paving the way. It was hard work, but there was a lot of money. But after working for a long time, Apo didn’t want to do it, and wanted to go to the salt field. After a few days, Apo left the island in a small boat.
When he came back again, Ah Lang saw Ah Po on the ship from a distance, it was a medium-sized ship, and the flag hanging on the sea was rolled up.
But seeing Abo’s face, and seeing the familiar and fierce face next to Abo, Alang broke out in a cold sweat. It was a pirate, and Abo actually brought the pirates to Qiongzhou! No, he had to hurry to inform King An and the others, but Ah Lang just opened the door, and someone just behind him knocked him down.
“Fourth, can you move lightly, he is my younger brother after all.” Abo spoke in dissatisfaction, his brows filled with anger that could not be concealed.
Over the years, he’s used to the days of quick money. Let him work with those useless old wives and little kids, working so hard to get so much money, what a joke.
After learning about Jiang Chaosheng’s background and financial resources, he immediately thought of “robbing the rich and helping the poor”.
“Qiongzhou is such a crappy place, only the ghosts will come. If you care about his prince and prince, they must be sent over. After this vote, we will not worry about food and clothing in the next life.”
These people actually still have snow-white and delicate salt, and when the time comes, they will find a way to extract them, that is, a steady stream of gold mines. “Okay, don’t waste time, the weather is just right now, you go quickly.”
Ah Bo took something to cover up his scars, covered up his own scars, put on Ah Lang’s clothes, knocked on everyone’s huts, and knocked down or knocked out all the few young men in the village who could resist.
Before it was put on hold, they stabbed people directly and took care of the life and death of the other party, but Abo firmly disagreed: “Don’t make too much noise, too many people will die and the government will encircle and suppress them.”
After doing this, Abo poured a lot of blood on his clothes, put on a wig that he had made a long time ago, and rushed out in a panic, running all the way to the front of Prince An’s mansion, and screaming for help: “Help, something happened!”
The pirates don’t know the depth of Jiang Chaosheng’s people, but they have basic judgment. Anyway, there are less than 30 people. They will lead away all the strong and threatening people, and then directly capture King An in one fell swoop.
Jiang Chaosheng was sleeping in the house, when he heard a bang on the door. The people in the cabin were first disturbed, and the awakened people surrounded him and vented his anger in a suppressed voice: “At night, What are you arguing about, what are you doing to the lord when something goes wrong?!”
Ah Bo imitated Ah Lang’s voice and said in a trembling voice, “I just found out that there is a big ship by the sea with a pirate’s flag hanging on it.”
He shuddered: “Everyone in the village has already hid. This wooden house is not safe. I know there is a safe place on Qiongzhou Island. You can hide with me!”
Jiang Chaosheng’s house was built on a higher part of the sea area. Looking at it from a distance, you could vaguely see a small spot on the edge of the pier.
The flag that had originally landed flew high, a black pennant. As expected, a large character was written on the flag with a bright red red pen. Deng and the pirates in the waters of Lan Kingdom were like this. The name of the commander-in-chief was written on the boat. The word Deng has been deformed, and the hanging ear on the right looks like a **** ear, which is creepy.
The well-intentioned youth who came to report the letter was very anxious: “I saw them disembark, and it’s still too late to hide! At most, they will only lose some property, but they can save their lives. If they die, nothing will be lost!”
Hearing the pirates, Tingzhu’s face turned pale with fright. Seeing that the door was not opened, he quickly knocked on the door: “Your Highness, Your Highness! Come out soon, something has happened! No, don’t come out, open the door, and we will all go to the house together. protect you!”
Listening to Zhu turned his head and asked Jiang Da, who looked very reliable: “Jiang Da, you are very good at fighting pirates!”
Of the people Jiang Chaosheng brought, only five were female relatives, and the rest were men. Except for an older doctor, who was generally in his thirties, all of them ate well and looked much stronger than the seaside villagers.
Apo said anxiously: “There are hundreds of pirates, and they can kill! Back then, the hundreds of people in the Qiongzhou government were all killed by them. There are only so many people, how can they fight.”
There was finally movement in the courtyard, Jiang Chaosheng heard the voice, put on his clothes and got up, the moment he opened the door, he kicked “A Lang” heavily: “Before the battle starts, you exaggerate your opponent and destroy your own people. prestige?”
Apo felt that his ribs were about to be kicked off, his face was pale in pain, and he was dizzy. This An Wang is sick! No wonder he was sent to a place where such birds don’t shit!
The young man just got up in embarrassment, and a sword shining with cold light came out of its sheath, and put the sword on his neck, Jiang Chaosheng yawned: “Tell me, Abo, the plan of the pirates and your group is to what?”
Apo didn’t expect that he would be seen through so quickly, and his face changed instantly. His hand threw a round egg before being restrained, and a fireworks exploded in the night sky: “It’s too late for you to explore.”
He spit out a mouthful of blood: “You only have a few dozen people, and we have a hundred people! I urge you to be more interesting, and you will suffer less later.”
Ships are the base camp of pirates. There are about a hundred pirates participating in this operation. There were not many people who came down to act at first. Seventy percent of them stayed on the ship. .
Jiang Chaosheng was about to say something when he suddenly heard a loud noise from the coast. His expression became subtle. Just now, when the sea was high tide, a huge wave nearly 100 meters high came over and directly sank the pirate ship. The pirate group came out to loot during the thunderstorm, and the pirate group deserved to capsize.
A thick hemp rope wrapped around Abo’s head, Jiang Chaosheng pulled it skillfully, he hung the latter directly on the flagpole, and the cloth of the flag firmly blocked the opponent’s mouth.
Apo’s eyes widened, watching the waves come one after another, and the pirates who were swept into the sea took gulps of seawater. After a while, he kicked his legs and sank slowly. His cheeks slowly sank. The ground was bloodshot, and his eyes were dyed red.
The other end of the rope was tied to a stone by Jiang Chaosheng, and a beautiful bow was tied. Even if the hair was a little messy, the young man with a beautiful complexion gathered up his collar and smiled: “Shout out to everyone, it’s cold at night, Come in to boil a pot of water, drink tea, and entertain guests, and there should not be too many of them now.”
Human heads are also a valuable resource, and he is worried about the lack of coolies to work.
