Tang Shijin nodded, then remembered and asked, "What are you growing here?"
"Peanuts were planted," Wei Shilei said: "It's the peanuts you sent, corn and beans, a lot of watermelons, and several kinds of vegetables. These can barely be grown here, but even if
It is a new grain, and the output should not be too high. It is impossible to count on this, and most of the grain may still have to be transported by sea."
He paused: "But there are several kinds of spices here, which are of very good quality. You can definitely make a lot of money by shipping them back. There are also several kinds of delicious fruits, the ones I wrote about in the letter, and jackfruit has a weird taste.
Very, I don’t like to eat them. Lychees are called rambutan. They are just ripe now. They are more delicious than our kind of lychees. Miaomiao likes them very much...but I can’t send them there. I want to call the eagle to pass two
I asked you to taste it, but I was afraid that the eagle would peck it and eat it. Now that you are here, you must eat more."
Tang Shijin nodded and said, "What about breeding? There are small seafood and sea vegetables everywhere. It should be okay to raise more chickens and ducks, right?"
Wei Shilei thought for a while: "This should be possible. However, the island is desolate and has become more popular recently. Before, when I first arrived in the Northwest Forest, I heard Brother Eleven say that there are still wild beasts roaming around! But I
Never encountered it.”
The two of them went back to the place where Wei Shilei lived temporarily.
The houses here are all made like toys. They are small wooden buildings with pieces of wood stuck together. They are quite fun, but each room is not very big. The same is true for Wei Shilei's house.
The two siblings hadn't seen each other for a long time and had endless things to say. Wei Shilei first sent someone to call Tang Liansheng and Zhou Baicheng, and said to her: "Actually, it's still early for the fleet to go to sea. These Jianghu people can let them go back first, otherwise
It’s really inconvenient to live on the island, and everything is inconvenient.”
Tang Shijin asked: "Aren't these people worried?"
"No," Wei Shilei said: "Some people are really generous and heroic, and they are admired by others, and some are really honest and down-to-earth, with no airs and nothing to do. But there are really unreliable people like that Shen Kexin.
...There are also some people who are very weird. For example, when the period for the martial arts competition was originally set, I thought about sending these people back, but they didn't know how to discuss it, and they didn't go back, saying, "It's not good to have done anything."
Argue with those people? I tried to persuade them for a long time, but they refused to reply. But when it was too late, someone mentioned it again and again. I don’t know if they have different opinions.”
He lowered his voice: "Actually, there is really no need for them on the island. Siam is indeed dishonest, but in a place like this, even if a war really breaks out, it will mainly rely on artillery. Although the martial arts of the Jianghu people are high, they are useless for heroes."
The land is mainly difficult to manage when it is free."
Tang Shijin nodded: "It's a small matter, I'll go check it out later."
Wei Shilei nodded and said, "If that doesn't work, send them back first. When they go to sea, if they want to come, come back."
Tang Shijin said: "Give me the list of people you want to keep, and I will send the others back."
Wei Shilei hummed.
While the two were talking, Tang Jiugai also took Qi Yaoling back. Tang Shijin only remembered when he saw him: "Hey? Where is He Yanmo?"
"I don't know?" Qi Yaoling was also confused: "He didn't come with you?"
Tang Shijin could only send Tang Jiugai out to find someone, and he picked him up after a while.
At that time, He Yanmo got on the back of the eagle and was so excited that after he finished roaring, he started to say: "Ba Ye, Ba Ye, carry me and fly around the island!"
Haidong Qing has a good understanding of human nature and can understand simple words, so he flew around the island with him on his back... but he said, "Baye, let's fly around again", "Let's fly around again"?
In this case, Master Ba finally got fed up and threw him to the farthest hill. He Yanmo didn't dare to pull its hair hard, so he could only silently jump down and walk on his two legs. He met Tang Shijin
He also complained: "Your Haidongqing has a bad temper."
Tang Shijin was speechless after hearing what he said: "I think if you hadn't been criticized as a bloody lotus pod at the moment, our eighth master would have a better temper."
She waved her hand: "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Are you familiar with the people here? You go and meet them first." She asked Deng Xian to send the people over.
Tang Shijin and Qi Yaoling briefly discussed it.
Some things are much easier for Tang Shijin to do and Qi Yaoling to do, but there are indeed many things that are difficult to say when Wei Shilei does them.
Tang Shijin said: "We'll wait until I'm leaving. Let's go and hire two people to be the matchmakers to settle our Lei'er's life-long affairs."
Wei Shilei asked: "Don't you need to meet me?"
"No need," Mr. Tang, who is very good at judging character at a glance, said sincerely, "I believe you."
Wei Shilei smiled sheepishly, and then he said very embarrassedly: "Just invite Master Le and Master Yu... I think these two people are both good and calm, and they are a good match."
of."
Tang Shijin sighed: "Brother, it's too late to stay... Ling'er and I will go visit you tomorrow."
She remembered and asked, "Why hasn't Liansheng come yet?"
"They are far away," Wei Shilei said. "Liansheng wanted to go out to sea by himself, and also wanted to go to Siam, but I didn't agree."
Tang Shijin nodded: "Since we are going to build Manlajia in a big way, there is no need to rush. Let's build everything here first. It will be our stronghold. Now that we are confident, it will not be too late to go to Siam. Let's go to sea with
You can do it together, there is no need to rush."
Wei Shilei said: "I think so too, but Baicheng said that he would transport a batch of spices to sell first, which is fine. He is talking to Paramesura, and he probably can get it without spending any money."
While talking, he heard someone's voice outside. Qi Yaoling smiled and said, "It's Liansheng who's back."
He put down the cup and went out to greet him. When Tang Liansheng saw him, he was so excited that he jumped out of the carriage and said, "Brother! Big brother!"
Qi Yaoling could only take a quick step forward and catch his weakling junior brother. Tang Liansheng hung on him and asked: "Did you really go to war, brother? Did you really kill their Tatar emperor?"
Qi Yaoling grunted and tore him off: "Master is inside."
Tang Liansheng trotted in. From a distance, he could hear him acting coquettishly: "Master, I miss you every day!"
After a while, Zhou Baicheng also came over. He was the busiest at the moment, and his eyes lit up with excitement when he arrived: "Master, I estimate that when this batch of spices is shipped to the shore, I can sell it for at least two million!!
I spent two days with Uncle Master Xu and King Manlajia, but he didn’t take any money from me. We just need to give them some food when we come back!”
Tang Shijin smiled and said: "Great!"
"By the way, there's one more thing." Tang Liansheng sat up straight and said, "Master, we'd better get two great monks who have experienced harm."
