Chapter 17: The Fifteenth Year of Orchid Hu Ji, Spring Ridge
Chen Jinnan and Qian Laoben followed me to the back room. I closed the door and said, "Brother Qian, tell Master." So Qian Laoben told Chen Jinnan about the overseas purchase. After Chen Jinnan listened,
Said: "This matter is not difficult to handle. You put some special marks on the merchant ships, and I will just notify the Taiwan Navy. But, Xiaobao, why did you buy these opium and seeds?"
I looked at Qian Laoben, who wisely withdrew and said, "Master, I want to get some opium to sell to Wu Sangui's army." Chen Jinnan was startled and said, "It is said that opium makes people stronger after taking it.
"Zeng, what is your purpose in providing him with opium?" I thought for a moment and said, "Master, opium can make people addicted after being taken for a long time. If you don't take it for a day, you will feel weak. The main purpose of this disciple is
It’s to make Wu Sangui’s army addicted. Over time...” Chen Jinnan was overjoyed and said before I could finish my words: “What a clever idea. As long as we stop the supply of opium, Wu Sangui’s soldiers will lose their combat effectiveness. Xiaobao,
I didn’t expect that you would have such insight at such a young age.” I didn’t expect that my random nonsense would make Chen Jinnan so happy, so he continued: “This is just one of them. Opium itself is expensive. We just passed it to Wu Sangui.
Selling opium will reduce his military resources and at the same time increase the funds of our Tiandi Society, killing two birds with one stone." Chen Jinnan took it seriously and was full of praise for me.
I added: "Disciples buy seeds so that they can grow their own seeds and reduce the cost of opium. I have asked the emperor for 200,000 acres of fertile land in Qinghai, and I want to send a reliable brother to take the brothers from the Tiandihui there.
Take charge of the planting work." Chen Jinnan said: "That's very good, I wonder who you want to send?" I thought about it and said: "Our planting in Qinghai must be kept secret, and the opium cannot be allowed to flow out of Qinghai, so
The person assigned must use some means. Master, who do you think is appropriate to send?"
Chen Jinnan hesitated for a moment and said: "Feng Jizhong is calm, experienced, and has strong martial arts skills. He should be a useful talent. What do you think?" I didn't expect that Chen Jinnan would recommend Feng Jizhong, a young man in his 25th year, considering the abilities of this old Feng.
He is still very strong, but I am a little worried about leaving this matter to him. However, if I leave him in a place like Qinghai, this kid may not be able to make any trouble.
Thinking of this, I said: "Feng Jizhong is indeed more suitable for this matter. However, the disciple wants to send him another deputy and ask brother Gao Yanchao to accompany him, mainly to maintain contact. Brother Feng has a heavy burden.
, you can't come back casually. If anything happens, you can ask Brother Gao to provide support." Chen Jinnan nodded and said: "Yes, you call them here and I will give them instructions."
I called Feng Jizhong and Gao Yanchao, and Chen Jinnan gave them detailed instructions. I took out the secret edict written by Kangxi and gave it to Feng Jizhong. Feng Jizhong saw that the chief helmsman attached great importance to this matter and felt that he was important.
, I patted my chest and made a promise to Chen Jinnan and me. I took out the banknotes in my arms and found two hundred thousand taels of silver. After thinking about it for a while, I gave it to Gao Yanchao and asked them to pick some brothers from the guild and leave today.
Went to Qinghai to make preparations, just waiting for Qian Laoben's seeds to arrive and hire local farmers to start farming.
After things were arranged, we returned to the hall and had a drink with everyone. After a short drink, Chen Jinnan stood up and left, taking Li Lishi, Xuan Zhen, Guan Anji, Fan Gang and others to leave first. Feng Jizhong and Gao Yanchao stopped for a while.
He also left. Qian Laoben thought about his errand and got up to say goodbye. I saw him out. When we got outside, I told him to arrange a carriage and waited outside the palace as soon as it got dark. Qian Laoben didn't ask why.
Take the order and leave.
Everything was arranged, and I was just waiting to pick up Rong'er and the others. Then I could easily go on my way. I was very happy. I went to the back house and made out with Xiaolian for a while, and asked her to prepare a banquet in the house that night. I
We were going to treat guests in the evening. Xiaolian didn’t understand that I was treating guests in the backyard, but I couldn’t bear to explain to her. I just said that I wanted to give her a surprise. Xiaolian couldn’t help being curious and insisted on letting me tell her. I’m worried that now
Let her know that she was happy too early. When the happiness wears off, she may not be able to accept it easily when she sees Fang Yi and Mu Jianping in the evening. So I asked her to withdraw 300,000 taels of silver for me.
He escaped on the pretext that something happened.
I was walking on the street, but I didn’t know where to go. It was just past noon, it was too early to go back to the palace, and I couldn’t go back home. Suddenly I thought of the garden that Wu Yingxiong gave me, and I felt excited. I quickly hired a sedan chair.
Rushed over.
When I got to the yard, I went into the conservatory where I played last time, and ordered the maid to call the Persian dancers to dance to relieve my boredom. After watching them dance for a while, I felt bored again, so I selected the most beautiful ones.
Some stayed to beat my legs, while others retreated.
The remaining Persian girls gathered around me and massaged me gently, making me feel very comfortable. I touched this and rubbed that. The girls all blushed and let me move my hands up and down.
I felt so happy that I said, "I don't know how many times I've hugged you. Which of you hasn't been hugged by me yet?" All the girls chuckled, and one of them pointed to the girl at my feet.
A girl said: "Wenjuan has not been hugged by her master yet." I looked at the girl named Wenjuan and saw that she was very beautiful.
I actually missed it." The girl who started to speak added: "Yesterday she was always hiding in the back. Master, you only focused on what is in front of you, so naturally you missed her."
I recalled the scene yesterday, and it seems that there were indeed a few girls who were not so proactive, but in that situation, how could I have cared about this? Seeing Wenjuan's face flushed, she lowered her head deeply and said with a smile: "
Wenjuan, are you unwilling to serve me?" Wenjuan said: "Master, I am your slave, I will do whatever you ask me to do." I felt a little awkward after hearing this, so she said
: "What are slaves? You are all girls beside me. Just serve me well. I will not treat you badly." Wenjuan raised her head and glanced at me, then lowered her head.
I said again: "Wenjuan, you are obviously Persian, why did you give us a Han name?" Wenjuan said: "We all have names. It was the original owner who gave us a new name." I
Only then did she realize that it was Wu Yingxiong who had changed their names, so she asked: "What was your original name?" Wenjuan said: "My original name was Elise Shukharekh Berenits Dexi
*Jasmine* Mashada..." I said hurriedly: "Hang on, I'd better call you Wenjuan. No wonder Wu Yingxiong wants to change your name. If it were me, I would definitely change it. It's still for us Han people.
The name is good, nice and convenient."
Wenjuan smiled and said: "Master, are you good friends with our original Master Wu?" I said: "What is your Master Wu? Now you are my people. You should call that boy Wu Yingxiong
Wu Xiaowu is the one. That kid wants to be friends with me and live out his big dreams."
Wen Juan asked curiously: "Then why did he give us to you? I think he respects you very much." I laughed and said: "Now that he is begging me, he will naturally try his best to please me.
The reason why you are given to me is to get some benefits from me." Wenjuan asked again: "Can you command him?"
Hearing this, I began to feel that something was wrong. This little girl kept asking me about my relationship with Wu Yingxiong and what the purpose was. I couldn't say anymore, so I asked: "Why are you interested in these? What exactly do you want to know?"
?" Wenjuan stayed for a moment, looked at me, then at the girls around her, lowered her head and said, "No, it's nothing, I just asked casually." I saw her expression was different, and I knew it.
There must be something fishy going on, so he ordered the other girls to leave.
Wenjuan and I were the only ones left in the empty hall. She seemed a little nervous and didn't dare to look at me. The rhythm of her hands was a little messy. I looked at her for a while and said, "Wenjuan, are you hiding something?"
Me." Wenjuan said hurriedly: "No, I have nothing to hide from the master." I snorted, pulled my leg back, and said slowly: "You must have something wrong, your expression has told me that you are lying.
Not mine."
Wenjuan lay down on the ground, touched her head to the ground, and said, "Master, please don't ask, Wenjuan really has nothing to hide." Seeing that she was afraid, I couldn't bear it, so I stretched out my leg again and said, "
You don't have to be afraid, I'm just asking casually. If you don't want to tell me, I can't help but be stronger than you. Get up." Wenjuan stood up, gently tapped my leg again, and said: "Master, you are a good person.
"
I chuckled and said, "You are right. You have only met me twice and don't know me well. I have a very good heart, especially towards beautiful women. I have always been obedient. As long as it's
No matter what the beauty asks me to do, I won’t agree to it.”
When Wenjuan heard this, she looked up at me and said hesitantly: "So, Wenjuan, can you ask the master to help me with something?" I saw her start to open her mouth, and I felt happy and said: "If you have anything, just ask me.
Say, I will try my best to help you if I can."
Wenjuan thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Wu... there is a sister of mine at the puppy's house. I wonder if the owner can ask him to bring my sister over as well."
Wenjuan said with a smile: "My sister is a beautiful woman, a fairy-like person. Master, you only need to send in the daily receipt to get the beauty's heart. Even if it is the slave family... the slave family will respond to all requests.
