Chapter seven hundred and sixteenth picking peaches
"Oh, what!"
On the second floor official boat, Tanchun opened a window and felt the temperature in Yangzhou. After saying disappointed, "I thought the winter in Jiangnan was also warm as spring, but I didn't expect it to be so cold."
Feng Jie'er knew the weather in Jiangnan and teased, "You are also thinking about blindness. I advise you to wear all your clothes carefully and your cloaks in order. The weather in Jiangnan is not as good as in the north. Although it is ice and snowy, it is not as cold as you wear a cloak. But in the southern province, the damp and cold air seeps into the bones, and you will feel typhoid if you are not careful. If you don't believe me, look at Sister Lin..."
Sure enough, Daiyu had already taken off her embroidered shoes and replaced her little sheepskin boots with gold-pinching clouds. She even had a crane in a white fox with a big red feathered gauze on her face. She wore a hat and wrapped it tightly.
Xueyan was still holding a hand stove behind her and preparing to use it on the car.
Tanchun, Xiangyun and others were disappointed and they all changed their clothes.
Before we went out, we saw three people wearing hats, gauze scarves and cloaks appear. They were originally wearing hats, and the gauze scarves were surprising enough, but the three of them were carrying bamboo weapons behind them.
Behind the taller ones is a "fire stick" and a "bead" wrapped in red silk is tied to the top...
Two small bodies, one carrying a sword full of blue, and the other carrying a big bell, with a flower hanging on the bell...
Seeing these three people appear suddenly, everyone was stunned at first, and then they couldn't help laughing.
Xiangyun jumped over and asked, "Three young heroes, I don't know where you are from, what are the expensive things to do?"
The taller one said in a deep voice: "Zhang Xiaofan, the weapon is devouring the soul, and he is going to Tianyin Temple to find the trouble of the thief bald man!"
The little man on the left said frivolously: "Lu Xueqi, the weapon Tianya Divine Sword, is going to find the demon girl Bi Yao and tear her mouth!"
The little man on the right immediately refused and spat, "Bah! You little slut, who claims to be a famous and upright school, how can you compare to me to block the Zhuxian Sword for Xiaofan? Look at me, happy bell!"
"Hey! Two virtuous wives, everyone has something to say, they are all their own people, don't hurt the harmony!"
"Zhang Xiaofan" came to the middle to persuade him to fight, but naturally he was ineffective. He could only hide beside him and sighed: "Two wives are really tired..."
The sisters were already laughing crazy, and they all looked at Daiyu, who was blushing and biting her teeth.
Daiyu picked up a wild duck feather duster from the side and spat, "What a mess? I think you are trying to die, but you are coming to me!"
"Zhang Xiaofan", "Lu Xueqi", "Biyao" was shocked and said together: "No! The Zhuxian Divine Sword is here, I can't stop it! Let's die together!"
The three of them hugged each other, raised their little butts, and let Daiyu take "Zhu Xian" and slash one by one. Everyone laughed to the ground. Daiyu also laughed "puffed" and said, "Your master spoiled you so much. I don't care about you, just go and settle the score with him!"
Just as the three troublemakers were shocked, they saw Jia Qiang smiling and saying, "What's the point of finding me..." Before he finished speaking, he saw the three of them dressed up and knew that they were naughty again. He quickly changed the topic and said, "The boat has arrived at the dock. There are old master of Qi and Xiao Jing's father on the dock. Aunt Sun is waiting. Xiao Jing will follow them back to Jufeng Island. I will talk to the old master of Qi. Sister Lin, take the others back to the salt courtyard..."
Daiyu, who was originally not good-looking, was immediately surprised and said, "Ah": "Salt Courtyard? Isn't it already..."
After Lin Ruhai took office as the Yan Yan Censor, the office should go back. If you are the other person, how can you go back?
Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Mr. He was the last Yanshi Censor stationed in Yangzhou. After that, he was the governor of Liangjiang. So I took a chance and bought the place. It was where you grew up. How could I let others take it away? The teacher didn't know about this, so I won't tell him when he went home. When he retired one day, he would bring him back and give him a surprise?"
Daiyu's heart was almost melted, and she couldn't hide her love when she looked at Jia Qiang's eyes.
Xiangyun suddenly said to Tanchun, "Lu Xueqi, the weapon Tianya Divine Sword, is going to find the demon girl Bi Yao and tear her mouth!"
Tanchun sneered and said, "You little rogue, who claims to be a famous and upright school, how can you compare to me to block the Zhuxian Sword for Xiaofan? Look at me, Huanling!"
Jia Qiang: "..."
...
On the official boat, the guards got off first, and then ten carriages stopped under the escort of the personal guards, and they did not stop. They drove straight towards the former Salt Courtyard in the city.
Later, at Li Gui and Aunt Sun were eager to see Jia Qiang riding down a horse, beside her an eight-treasure horse-drawn carriage.
After getting off the boat, Jia Qiang nodded with Qi Taizhong first and asked Li Gui. Aunt Sun said, "Uncle Li, Aunt Sun, have you always been good?"
Li Gui and Aunt Sun looked at the handsome young man wearing a purple gold crown and bullfighting uniform, who was noble and arrogant, and realized that he could not afford to be an elder, so he just smiled politely.
Seeing that he was alive, Jia Qiang didn't force him. After smiling, he pointed to the carriage beside him and said, "Xiao Jing is inside, she is a little heavy, so she won't be able to run around and work hard. Uncle Li, Aunt Sun, you two take her back to Jufeng Island to reunite. What's the matter tomorrow."
When Li Gui and Aunt Sun heard this, she was naturally overjoyed. When Li Jing opened the car door, Li Gui saw Li Jing wearing silk and gold and silver on her head, and was also very rich and powerful. She immediately turned red in her eyes and felt that she had not worked for Jia Qiang in vain...
After saying goodbye to Qi Taizhong, the two of them took the island guards and escorted Li Jing's carriage back to Jufeng Island.
Qi Taizhong looked at the back of the carriage and sighed: "Ning Hou Yi Nuo, the eldest son of the house and the eldest son can succeed him... It's really rare!"
Jia Qiang smiled angrily and said, "If you want to say that I am absurd and bastard, just say that if Qi Yun dares to do this, the old man will be afraid that he will directly break his leg!"
Qi Taizhong laughed loudly. Seeing that a young man behind him was dodging his eyes, Jia Qiang asked with a smile: "Isn't this Mr. Qi Fu? Is there a pleasure boat on the Slim West Lake? Is this lord going to clear the Slim West Lake tonight, and I am afraid it will disturb your interest, so don't blame me."
Qi Fu was fighting with Xue Pan for the courtesan and beat Xue Pan half to death, but was almost beaten to death by Jia Qiang. At this moment, Jia Qiang made fun of him. Qi Fu was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground.
Qi Taizhong laughed softly and said, "Ninghou, I have prepared some water and wine, so why not eat two cups? In addition, the sect son Qi Wanhai sent someone to send some letters back from Johor. I think Ninghou is also interested in viewing some things. We should discuss them..."
I thought I was sure to get the invitation, but Jia Qiang said: "Qijia Manor is too far away, so it's better to just discuss it on the boat. It just so happened that I was idle on the way south, and got a chart of the South China Sea and had a lot of time."
The four words "Nanyang Sea Map" immediately touched Qi Taizhong. Although his second son Qi Wanhai also sent a road map back, it was just a sea map from Huacheng, Guangdong Province to Johor, which was limited and tight.
The two returned to the boat and sat down in the lobby on the first floor. Jia Qiang went up to the second floor again, took off the chart, and spread it on the table next to the main seat.
Qi Taizhong leaned forward and looked carefully for a while. After a while, he became more and more surprised. He said, "I also asked someone to go to the south and got a few broken pictures from the Western ghosts, but they are far less detailed than yours. Ning Hou, your picture is worth tens of thousands of dollars!"
"Ten Thousand Gold?"
Jia Qiang smiled and said, "One hundred thousand golds are more than 100,000! Mr. Qi, look here... Annan, the Kingdom of Wanxiang, Zhenla, Siam, Shan... This is the Johor country where your son Qi Wanhai went!"
Qi Taizhong's old eyes shone, and he nodded repeatedly and said, "What Ning Hou said is extremely right, more than 100,000 gold! With this map, it seems like the world is in front of him!"
Jia Qiang smiled and said, "This is less than 11 in the world, which is far from it. However, being able to do something in this world is an amazing beginning."
Qi Taizhong's eyes were full of energy and looked at Jia Qiang and said slowly: "Ninghou, Johor is now in chaos, and there is great potential!"
Jia Qiang shook his head and said, "It's not too chaotic. Although it's suitable for a foothold there, the Javanese has taken over and Siam has chewed a lot, but overall, Javanese still has the advantage. Although it has not been unified yet, Javanese colluded with the Florians to suppress and rush the Sultan of Johor. If we want to do something and compete with them in a short time, unless we immigrate a large number of firearms and artillery, we can compete with the Florians and the Javanese. Otherwise, we will not be anxious and have to take our time."
Qi Taizhong smiled and said, "Although I can't live for a few years, I still have patience. Ning Hou was right, I should send more young and strong people to go there. It is best to move people while Johor is in chaos. But... I spent money to pour it into second place. I wanted to move more people to go there, but the court did not easily let go. The three ships of people in the Qi family went there, and it took a lot of effort. No matter how much it was, it would be difficult to rely on the Qi family alone."
Seeing the old fox looking at him, Jia Qiang chuckled and said, "Don't worry about this matter. In the past two or three years, the celestial phenomena in China are unstable and most of them are drought, so many people who have experienced difficulties will become refugees. I will suggest to the emperor and the court to send some to Johor. However, there is one thing that the Qi family must understand. If the imperial court migrates the people in large numbers, then after that, it will not be the Qi family's words. All the places where the Han people go, but the land shining by the sun and the moon are all the Han people."
When Qi Taizhong heard this, his old face twitched and said, "I will think about this matter for now..."
If Qi's family is doing their best, they can still gain a foothold in Johor.
After all, there were actually many people who went to Johor from the Han territory of the Central Plains to fight against the previous dynasty.
From these people, the family can also learn the foundation of their foothold.
But if the court takes action and sends people in large numbers, some troops will inevitably be "mixed" with them...
One day, Johor will most likely become an inseparable part of the Han family since ancient times, and will become the kingly land under the world.
Then why should the Qi family travel across the ocean and go to sea?
Unfortunately, Qi Taizhong felt emotional. He was too old and had no energy to expand his territory. Otherwise, he would have achieved great success.
When Jia Qiang saw that Qi Taizhong had taken back his intention of asking him to take action, he laughed.
Before the new policy was launched, the court could not have the energy to do this, and most of them did not want to.
The Office of the Internal Affairs can do it quietly, but it is also a big taboo.
Every Dayan people are the wealth of the court and are subjects of the Tian family. How can they throw their own people out?
Isn't this a traitor?
If Jia Qiang had no intention and did not go through the agreement of the Military Affairs Bureau to handle this matter, he would probably be impeached and the Tian family would not spare him.
Now that the Beijing area is afraid that it is lively, he would better not add fuel to the fire...
but……
"Of course, it may be inconvenient to move the people in large numbers, but the people under the command of this marquis can arrange some of them to help."
Johor is Malaysia that Jia Qiang knew in his previous life, and Singapore at this time was called Sin Chew, which is part of Johor.
Sin Chew, adjacent to the southern entrance of the Strait of Malacca, guards the throat of the southern entrance of the Strait of Malacca. This is the most economic and military-valued port fortress in the entire Southeast Asia and even East Asia!
It is a maritime transportation link that connects Europe, Asia and Africa. In Jia Qiang's previous life, ships from most modern countries around the world passed by here every day.
For major countries that covet East Asian sector, mastering Sin Chew is equivalent to controlling the maritime lifeline of this sector!
Now Johor is in chaos, Java, Siamese, Johor natives, and the scoundrels and Bolang Ji people are almost slapping their heads and wanting to occupy this land.
And, it will be a long time of chaos.
Wouldn't you miss a god-given opportunity if you don't take the opportunity to insert a nail in this time?
However, Qi Taizhong's eyes looked at Jia Qiang, and he became obviously a little unkind.
There is no such way to pick peaches?
