Chapter 429 makes sense
When Wen Jiuxiao arrived, the battle had already ended, "Is Mr. Su okay?" He got off his horse and walked towards Mr. Su. Seeing that he was fine, the anxiety in his eyes receded.
As the county magistrate of Shanyun County, if something happened to Eunuch Su, even if it had nothing to do with him, he would be implicated. If there are people with malicious intentions inside, he may be labeled as "dissatisfied with the court".
After all, Mr. Su represents the emperor and the holy will. And the mind of the superior is the most difficult to guess. To block Youyou's mouth before, the emperor can't do anything to him in the open. If Eunuch Su really died in the hands of the pirates, this is a ready-made excuse.
"Tuofu, our family is fine, let Lord Xiaowen worry about it." Eunuch Su put down the tea bowl in his hand. He served in front of the imperial court, how could he encounter such a dangerous thing? He was really shocked and all over, but fortunately there was no danger, and now Eunuch Su has returned to his calm and breezy appearance.
"It's fine if you don't have anything to do." Wen Jiuxiao sat across from him. Someone came to greet him. He waved his hand and continued to talk to Su Gonggong, "This time is too dangerous, Su Gonggong. Eunuch, either don't go out of the city, or Wenmou sends someone to protect you, I hope Eunuch Su will forgive you."
"It should be." After this time, Eunuch Su was really scared. He had a hard time when he was a child, and after entering the palace, he finally served in front of the imperial court. Although he can't even have heirs after being clean, compared with when he was a child, he is already a master. He hasn't had enough of such a good life, and he is dying.
Don’t just ask him to bring the guards, he’s already determined to go back to Beijing, anyway, he’s seen everything he needs to see, and he knows everything he needs to know. Go back to Beijing, the safest thing is to go back to Beijing.
"The pirates in Shanyun County are too rampant, Mr. Xiaowen has a long way to go!" Mr. Xiaowen is really capable, but... Shanyun County is not a good place.
Eunuch Su looked at Wen Jiuxiao with sympathy hidden in his eyes.
"Indeed." Wen Jiuxiao was very calm, "Shanyun County's geographical location is not good, pirates are rampant, the government's military equipment is insufficient, and the navy is even more scarce. It is more than enough to suppress the bandits. I hope that after Mr. Su returns to Beijing I often mentioned two or three things in front of the emperor, Wen Mou is very grateful."
"Master Xiaowen, don't worry, this is our family's responsibility." Eunuch Su replied, he had to report all these things in the first place.
In the last count, this group of pirates is a total of 117 people. Not many died, less than twenty people, mainly because of serious injuries, those lying unconscious on the ground, unable to move, and howling. With the current level of medical treatment, I am afraid that they will not be able to escape death in the end.
Since Wen Jiuxiao came, the officers and soldiers stationed by the sea continued to patrol. There were only 20 people following Wen Jiuxiao's quick horse to help, even with Su Gonggong's guards, there were only more than 30 people, so the villagers were invited to **** the pirate back to the city.
The villagers who were picked up were beaming, and the corners of their mouths almost reached their ears. Even their families were proud of it. What's more, if you **** the pirates to the county government, you can bring back reward silver when you come back.
Five liang of silver, if you are more frugal, it will be enough for more than half a year.
Xu Shi was really frightened. After returning to the courtyard where he lived, Mr. Su rested for two days before leaving for Beijing.
Wen Jiuxiao personally escorted people to Fucheng before returning. After returning, he thought about the matter of exterminating pirates.
It is much more difficult to suppress bandits at sea than on land.
First of all, there are no sailors in Shanyun County. In other words, there were no serious sailors in the entire Daqing Dynasty. Of course, there are no official ships for combat.
Secondly, Wen Jiuxiao's most useful thing is the two hundred guards he brought from the capital, all of them are very good at martial arts. However, those born in the north basically don't know water. If you learn now, you won't have much effect in a short time.
There are fishing boats in the fishing villages near the sea, and all of them have very good water quality. However, expecting fishermen to drive small fishing boats to kill pirates, ha, this is undoubtedly giving food to people.
In addition to this, Wen Jiuxiao has another worry. Yu Xiaozhi is pregnant, and he cannot leave the county office for a long time.
Can you only passively defend? The coastline was too long, and those few of him couldn't guard against it at all, and Wen Jiuxiao was not willing to be passive. Therefore, pirates still have to be flat.
First build the ship, train the sailors, and when Yu Xiaozhi gives birth to a child, he will lead people out to the sea to make peace with the pirates.
Yu Zhi's belly was already very prominent, so he didn't tell Yu Zhi about it for fear that she would be worried.
It was Yu Zhi who discovered it himself, and it was Qingfeng who had slipped his tongue, and Yu Zhi knew that Wen Jiuxiao was looking for a shipbuilder. For fishing boats, Shanyun County can find masters. But what Wen Jiuxiao wants to build is a large ship that can accommodate dozens, hundreds, or even hundreds of people, and it is a strong warship that sails fast and is not afraid of collisions.
Such a master is hard to find, and Wen Jiuxiao even has the idea of becoming an important person in the Ministry of Industry.
"Third Master, are you planning to clean up the sea?" Yu Zhi guessed what Wen Jiuxiao was thinking at once.
Wen Jiuxiao...
His mood is complicated. This woman has such a big belly, why is her mind so sharp? Can't you be a little dull? Like other women, he can worry less if he admires flowers, catches butterflies, cuts clothes, and buys rouge and gouache every day.
"Building warships, right? Didn't you find a shipbuilder?" Yu Zhi looked at Wen Jiuxiao, pointed at himself, "You're looking for me!"
"You will..." Build a ship! Wen Jiuxiao's heart tightened. This is no longer a surprise, but a fright, okay?
Yu Xiaozhi can even build warships, so what is she...Wen Jiuxiao stared at Yu Zhi, her whole body tensed up, for fear that her pink mouth would say something scary again.
"No!" Yu Zhi's expression was extremely calm, "But I know someone will."
The word "no" fell in Wen Jiuxiao's ears, as if he had taken a panacea, it was all right, he was able to catch his breath.
"who?"
"You know him too, who's the one from the Cao Gang, the Young Master, what's his name?" Yu Zhi couldn't remember for a while, "The Cao Gang must have the best shipbuilding technology in their hands, and the craftsmen they keep are probably Even better than the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry."
These semi-jianghu organizations, which have been passed down for hundreds of years, have a profound foundation, otherwise they would not have seen the value of her dragon boat design at a glance.
"You mean Hu Rongkun?"
"Yes, that's him! Hu Rongkun, I remembered." Yu Zhi said happily.
Wen Jiuxiao's mouth twitched. This woman thinks she is sensitive, but she can't even remember her name. What should I say about her?
Yu Zhi seemed to see through Wen Jiuxiao's thoughts, and gave him a blank look, "Who is he to me? Why should I remember his name? If I remember the names of other men, Sanye, can you feel at ease? "
Wen Jiuxiao...
Makes sense!
