Chapter 758 Look at you one more time and count me as a loser
Then his brother-in-law wrote back, not tactfully saying... He doesn't have the ability/courage. You are your biological brother. If you hide it from her, she won't do anything to you. At most, she will beat you up. But even though he is a close relative,
If he didn't tell her, Tang Shijin would really be angry.
So Wei Shilei said, I will write it separately for my sister.
Yan Baiwei understood it and said, "Okay, then let's each write our own thing."
For such a trivial matter, the Eagle News was sent back and forth several times. Then Wei Shilei wrote another letter, writing down everything he had seen and heard along the way, and then wrote that he got it from Xu Wanghai, and then borrowed it from Deng Xiaoping.
Xian Luzi spread to the capital, and after Tang Shijin read it, he enriched Tang Liansheng's information book.
Then we will continue to build ships and train troops.
They never stopped during the time they went to sea.
Xu Wanghai also came over to help with the renovation of the new Fuzhou ship. During this period, Tang Shijin also wrote a letter and contributed the drawings of "screws". Although very precise screws could not be made in this era, the concept of this thread was very
They were so valuable that they were all used on Xinfu Ship.
The Chinese New Year happened to coincide with a national mourning, and we couldn't celebrate. Instead, Tang Shijin sent some cinnabar jewelry as a New Year gift. Wei Shilei thought about it and remembered that Xu Wanghai had a daughter, so he also gave him a gift.
On New Year's Eve, on the first and second day of the Lunar New Year, Wei Shilei gave the shipyard and the navy three days off, but he also followed Tang Shijin's example and doubled the wages of the shipyard for these three days.
Since Wei Shilei came here, he has never extorted money from the people, and trust has been built up. Money will be paid as promised, so these people are very proactive and come to work overtime.
Xu Wanghai and his wife went out to pay New Year's greetings, and when they came back, they met Wei Shilei. Looking at his clothes, he looked like he had just returned from the beach.
Xu Wanghai smiled and said: "Master Wei, are you still going to the sea in this new year?"
Wei Shilei smiled and said: "One more day of parking at the shipyard means one day's worth of money. I have to hurry up."
Xu Wanghai smiled and said, "Master Wei, is he still short of money?"
Wei Shilei smiled and shook his head: "The treasury is empty. This shipyard consumes all my sister's money. If my sister were here now, I would have made an unknown amount of money. If it comes to me, I will only spend money."
.”
He shook his head and said: "Master Xu, can I go to your house to pay New Year's greetings and have a meal by the way?"
Xu Wanghai was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the carriage in front of the Governor's Mansion just now. Thinking that he might want to avoid it, he couldn't help but smile and said: "If Mr. Wei comes to my house, then I will really have good luck this year."
The group of people returned home chatting and laughing, and when Xu Lingmiao came out to welcome them, they couldn't help but be startled.
Today she wore a five-color Hufu, a cinnabar bracelet, a cinnabar pendant and earrings that he gave her, which made her look even more picturesque. When she first saw him, she felt a little embarrassed. She said hello calmly on her face.
.
Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "This child likes the jewelry sent by the adults very much. Look, he is wearing it all over."
Only then did Wei Shilei look at Xu Lingmiao, and he put it away as soon as he touched it. He said with a smile: "This is a new thing that my sister made. I have no one to give it to, so I gave it to you. I hope you don't dislike it.
"
Xu Lingmiao was a little strange and couldn't help but said: "Don't you have a beauty in your family?"
Xu Wanghai hurriedly scolded: "Miao'er!"
"It doesn't matter," Wei Shilei smiled: "Xu Xiaoniang reminded me, leaving those two people alone will consume three meals a day. They are no longer needed, so they can be sent back."
At this time, he had basically met with the officials from both places. Anyway, he had many backers, so he could really fight openly and openly. Each of these people was as honest as a quail.
When the time comes to measure everyone's ability and intelligence, I'm afraid I'll have to change more than half.
At this moment, the young man's expression was cold and stern, his eyes were sharp, and the man's cloak of a gentleman had faded away, and instead he looked majestic.
Xu Lingmiao looked at him, rolled her dark eyes, and then silently retreated into the inner room.
Wei Shilei quickly came to his senses and continued joking with Xu Wanghai.
He had lunch at Xu's house and then went back to meet with the officials who had been waiting for a long time.
He had the power to depose Zhi. He directly dismissed the magistrate of Dinghai County on the spot and sent people to escort him back to Beijing. This was a "good start", but as soon as he showed his power, other officials became even more trembling.
After he came out, the prefect of Jin'an asked the people next to him, "Does Mr. Wei have any intention behind his words?"
The adult next to him said: "It seems... it does have a purpose."
The two looked at each other slowly.
Wei Shilei just lost his temper and said: "Now that the national treasury is in short supply, and the money spent on building ships and recruiting troops is running low day by day, I am embarrassed to open my mouth to my sister... As parents and officials, you still have the thought of good clothing and food, welcome to us
Delivered to?"
It's really clear.
But he doesn’t accept gifts, right??
So one night ago, the Fujian and Guangdong officials took a rare opportunity to cultivate their moral integrity. They did not have to welcome or send them off during the first month of the year. They all worked hard to govern fairly and honestly...
On the 15th, the county magistrate of Minzhou probably remembered the "gentleman" when Tang Shijin was in Jiangnan... so he donated three thousand taels of cash, which was said to be the profit from his wife's shop, saying that he wanted to
For his contribution to the Daqing Navy, Master Wei immediately praised him. Other officials were inspired and immediately donated money.
Wei Shilei was very satisfied.
These people have spent so many years, and I don’t know how many salt classes they have cheated on, and even a little bit of blood can be regarded as tax repayment.
At this time, another big fortune ship was completed and entered the sea after inspection. Wei Shilei named it Changsheng.
Although there are many typhoons in coastal areas, generally speaking, the wind and waves are largest in winter and smallest in summer, and are relatively average in spring and autumn. After all, there are cold winds in winter and warm winds in summer, and cold winds are faster than warm winds.
So Wei Shilei hurriedly took the people out to sea again on February 2nd.
This time, Xu Wanghai brought Xu Lingmiao with him. It was said that Xu Lingmiao knew Kung Fu and was pretty good at it.
Wei Shilei didn't mind. After all, both Shadow Guard and Changmu Feierlou had women, so having multiple Xu Lingmiao was not special.
He knew that when he was eating at Xu's house on the first day of the new year, someone was peeking at him, but he didn't care at all.
After all, with his identity as Crown Prince Wei and younger brother of the God of Wealth, he has been used to being spied on and admired, no matter it was true or false, since he was thirteen or fourteen years old. It doesn't take a month for him to encounter this a few times, but now he is like a Buddha.
, you can admire me all you want, if I look at you more, I will lose.
The route they took this time was rarely taken by maritime merchants, or in other words, few people who walked it returned alive.
It still passed through Champa, Chenla, and Mansika, and then sailed westward through the Strait of Malacca and entered the Indian Ocean.
Xu Wanghai held up the star board to measure, and said to him: "Sir, I have only been to this place twice, and once I returned to the Lion Kingdom, this is the farthest place I have ever been, but I don't understand the language.
I just listened to them half-guessing, and it seemed that there was another country very close to them, but that time we had no goods, so we didn't go forward."
Wei Shilei held a chart in his hand and asked, "How far is it?"
Xu Wanghai said: "I remember that it took more than two months to arrive. The water on the boat was almost gone, and many people died. Moreover, when we went there, the Lion Kingdom was still fighting, so we made up some things.
Leave quickly."
Wei Shilei asked: "What is the Lion Kingdom like? What weapons are used?"
