Chapter 1900 It’s beautiful!

Zhuo Buqun is now taking good care of himself on the island, no wonder Li Hu said he was seduced.

Everyone was tanned, but he was fair and clean, tall and straight, his clothes were fresh and not shivering, and he seemed to be unemployed.

With so many people on the island, the most useless thing is Zhuo Buqun.

Because he is Zhuo Yao's father, Xiaobao only respects him and never gives him tasks.

Although Zhuo Buqun has the best skills to protect the emperor, there is no emperor on the island!

He neither grows sweet potatoes nor builds ships. He followed others to the beach to catch fish and shrimps, but he ended up breaking several other fishing nets.

The Chu boys on the island have all been soldiers, not masters of martial arts, but have also been trained. Other gang boys have also practiced some basic skills with the Chu boys. Not to mention how good they are, they can do agility.

So Zhuo Buqun couldn't find a job as a coach on the island, because everyone was very busy every day.

The only thing Zhuo Buqun can do on the island is to help everyone repair their clothes. Although the stitches are not meticulous enough, they are at least neat.

Now there is Jia Yanyao's wife and two maids, so he is snatched from his job and has nothing to do.

Who would have thought that the head of the imperial secret guards would become a "waste" on the island.

Except Chu Qing, no one is suitable to arrange work for Zhuo Buqun, and Zhuo Buqun himself cannot find something to do.

Seeing that Zhuo Buqun was younger than his son after he continued to maintain his care, Chu Qing assigned him a task: to maintain and maintain the mortar.

The close-fitting secret guards are usually very skillful. They are good at using all inconspicuous things, such as the needles used by Zhuo Buqun to make up for sewing and repairing, which are made of fish bones.

Although Chu Qing is a woman, she is not as delicate as most women. When delivering materials on the island, she never thought of bringing in some needles and threads.

Therefore, even the thread used for sewing is pulled out from the edge of each piece of clothing.

As for the dishes and chopsticks used by people on the island, they were all made by Zhuo Buqun himself: the coconut shell bowl has carved flowers on it; the bamboo chopsticks seem to be cylinders, but in fact they have a square cross-section and will not roll when placed on the table.

The "dumpling smear" used to make dumplings is made by collecting the remaining ribs of mountain people when dealing with old and sick buffaloes; the kitchen knife is also a bamboo knife he made of bamboo.

Let’s just say that, if such people, with a little training, they can master the knowledge of carpenters and blacksmiths, they can become excellent precision parts processing craftsmen.

There are not many ready-made supplies on the island, especially without lubricating oil, so cleaning and lubrication of the cannon barrel is a difficult problem.

Zhuo Buqun knows how to boil and prepare animal oils for lubrication, so letting him maintain mortars will do better and safer than others.

Zhuo Buqun was so moved that he heard that Chu Qing actually gave him a "big killing weapon" like a mortar to his maintenance - this is a huge trust!

Zhuo Buqun immediately stood up with a solemn expression. He straightened his clothes and wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Chu Qing to express his loyalty, which scared Chu Qing!

As soon as Zhuo Buqun was short, he was grabbed by Chu Qing and said in a low voice: "Stop! I don't have New Year's money for you!"

Zhuo Buqun was almost crying.

Xiaobao was still pestering Li Hu, but his eyes were aimed at Zhuo Buqun from time to time. Chu Qing knew at a glance that the little brat wanted to follow Li Hu to drink Zhuo Buqun's wine.

Thinking of turning Xiaobao into a "scared" gift, he said to Zhuo Buqun: "See, my son is thinking about your red jar of jade liquid and nectar. When did you save it?"

Without waiting for Zhuo Buqun to answer, he immediately explained: "I am optimistic about Xiaobao and I can only let him have a drink. I dare to settle the score with you if I dare to give you too much!"

That's it, Zhuo Buqun was sent away.

A man is not as strong as Zhuo Yao!

Zhuo Buqun was the happiest thing to be able to move to the south mountain. His old cold legs would feel very "axial" in places with high humidity, and they would not move neatly, and they would have a slight pain.

Fortunately, the island is not cold, and you don’t have to squat on the beams or kneel down at any time all day. Life is not difficult. If you can move to the mountains on the south side with plenty of sunshine and dry climate, it would be so happy.

In the afternoon, Xiao Sining came over with a few kids and a few rosters: "Boss, we have all divided the teams. This is the list of personnel for each team. You can take a look."

Chu Qing knew all the people on the island, but he couldn't remember everyone's name. He had to look at his face to meet the number.

But Chu Qing didn't have to read the roster. She just needed to know the division of labor and number of people in each team, so she only helped to adjust the number of people in each team.

After adjusting the front foot, everyone went to work hard to pack their luggage, prepare to move, and get all the tools... they all have something to be busy with.

There is no New Year atmosphere.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the dawn is coming, and Wanji agents are on the agent.

Since Chu Qing planned to help move, he was going to take the "charlatan" Shui Maomao first and communicate with the mountain people, so that he would not misunderstand that the Chu family would steal their territory.

Living peacefully with the mountain people is the important matter at present. After the solution is completed, Chu Qing will return to Daxuan.

Before I could set off, I came back and brought back Baijiaxing's letter, which said a few things.

The first thing was that the Kingdom of Vos really made a move. They set off artillery and attacked at night on the central border, blowing up several fortifications that General Pei was guarding the pass.

The Kingdom of Vos did not have a "conscienceless cannon", but inspired by the use of gunpowder, they used pots to fill gunpowder and threw them in catapults. Although the range was only more than ten feet long, the harm caused was not small.

Interestingly, the gunpowder in Vos seems to be not effective. It is often thrown in cans of gunpowder, and it doesn't explode even if it breaks. It's better to throw a stone or an iron ball.

But the explosion did cause a fire, because the wind direction was right that night. The fire took advantage of the wind and lit the gunpowder scattered on the ground, burning crisps, and burning several city walls and deer forts.

Fortunately, General Pei strictly guarded and responded in time, and did not allow the Worths to break through the defense line.

The second thing was that because the Worths failed to attack, he immediately handed a letter of nationality to Daxuan, saying that he would send a delegation to pay tribute to this year's tribute.

This incident made Emperor Daxuan hesitate and had not made a decision yet.

The "conscienceless cannon" manufactured by the Ministry of Industry is really unconscienceless, and it also explodes people and itself, so it is still under development and has not yet been put into use by the army.

But the Worths people do not ask for too long range regardless of whether the gunpowder is good or not. They use throwing directly, and they cannot hurt themselves, at most they will not explode.

In this way, the Vos people have relied on, and the so-called tribute should be a demonstration.

Since it is not really a tribute, it is hard to say whether it is here to bargain and ask for a reduction or exemption of tribute, or whether there are any other attempts.

The letter also told Chu Qing that the incident of Woth's offense was sent back by the spies left by Chu Qing's subordinates in Woth. They wanted to pass the information to Chu Qing first because they were worried that the Marquis's mansion on the border would be in danger.

Unexpectedly, the Wos people moved so quickly. On the night when the news arrived at Baijiaxing, the Wos people started fighting. Then the next day, the Wos people immediately contacted the country to pass the border for tribute, so Bai Hua and Wei Chengyi also spread the news to Baijiaxing.

The two brothers were also worried that the Marquis' Mansion would be attacked. In addition, the Wos people asked to pay tribute in advance, and they were afraid that it would have an impact on Chu Qing. As for what it would affect, they could not imagine, they were just worried.
