After Emptying the Enemy’s Warehouse, He Carried Supplies To Survive the Disaster Years

Chapter 43 Voyage

Zi Yu didn’t go home all night, but she didn’t know that because of her absence, Xiao Luo had cried hoarsely and dragged Hong Feiyang to find her brother.

Hong Feiyang only knew that Ziyu rented a large yard, but the specific location was not clear. He could only carry Xiao Luo to find Chen Zhongren after dawn to find out.

 So, when Chen Zhongren came over with a group of people, there were one large and one small.

"elder brother!"

Having not seen his only relative all night, Xiao Luo, who cried so hard that his throat hurt, threw himself into Zi Yu's arms, hugged her neck and started to shed tears again.

“Xiao Luo, why are you crying again!

 My brother was so busy that he forgot to send someone back with a message. He will never do it again.

 Be good, stop crying! "

 “Take two people to the street and buy each person two sets of clothes.”

“Brother, it’s just a last resort, and I don’t really want to lie to you.

Hong Feiyang glanced at the servants present with a warning look. His ferocious look made several timid women shrink their necks in fear.

I hope the young master can buy my family. The youngest daughter is five years old and has learned embroidery from her mother.

After careful questioning, Ziyu found out that the whole family was literate, and that the two sons were fifteen and twelve years old.

That fund was just a cover for buying the village, and it was also a way to experience the fun of being a moneylender in this ancient time.

 “Everyone, stand up and introduce your own strengths, starting from the first one.”

“Chen Zhongren, please bring her three children to have a look.”

After all the twenty-three servants had packed up, Ziyu asked Hong Feiyang to drive the mule cart directly to the bank dock to board the ship, and notified Wang Xingwang to bring people to move the goods.

 “Sir, please buy my family!” The middle-aged man came out of the queue and bowed, pleading.

 “Okay, if you don’t want to watch it, don’t watch it!”

When you hire a boatman on a ship to carry cargo, you must pay him, otherwise he would do it for nothing.

Seeing this, Chen Zhongren took the initiative to introduce the forty people brought to Ziyu.

Although the profits from shipping are considerable, the risks are too great. I already regret my original choice.

 “You call me Shengxing! Why were you betrayed?”

Twenty-three people, a total of 835 taels of silver was spent. Ziyu was named because of the cancellation, so they all kept their original names. Chen Zhongren had to do the errands for the slave registration, and Ziyu said to the newly appointed housekeeper Shengxing.

I don’t know how many times the little guy cried when she was not at home.

 I still prefer a secluded life and am not interested in the disputes in the world. "

Wang Xingwang, who knew the destination of his trip, admired Ziyu standing on the bow of the boat.

 Ziyu listened to Wang Xingwang's complaints and disagreed. The greater the risk, the more profit will increase exponentially.

Ziyu stood on the bow of the boat, watching the Qingyang Mansion, where she had lived for more than half a year, slowly go away.

 Accustomed to the indifference of the world, the old man regained his confidence in life.

 Now we have to bite the bullet and go on. There are more and more ships entering the industry, and business is not so easy to do. "

“Haha, compared to my little brother, I’m still far behind.

 The housekeeper's brother-in-law wanted to get a higher position, but he accused me of being greedy. He didn't even give him a chance to defend himself, so the whole family of five was betrayed.

 “No, just brother!”

Three medium-sized ships loaded with food and various living supplies sailed from the inland river to the southeast sea and then to the west sea.

 The little guy was lying motionless on his neck, turning his head away in a choked manner.

 My wife is in the team, her name is Liu Ye. She used to be in charge of needlework in the mansion. "

A group of people who didn't know what their future was, all followed Ziyu on the boat, betting their future on this young master.

 “Someone who has a family member who sold themselves with him comes forward.”

“Sir, these are all selected according to your requirements.” Chen Zhongren shouted at the four rows of people standing.

 The waves are shining, the breeze is blowing, and the boat is sailing away.

 Although it has not been bought yet, it gives them hope.

The happiest thing about this trip is Old Man Tie, because this moment indicates that he is getting closer to home.

"Get up!" Ziyu said without changing her expression. If she wanted to buy it together, she would have to see if it would be useful.

Ziyu is not worried that the three of them will run away. People who are slaves are equivalent to people without status. If they are caught, they will die unless they hide in a remote place.

 In the small courtyard where she rented, Mrs. Chen cleaned up so much that she didn’t even leave a pair of chopsticks. The house was empty except for the belongings of the original landlord.

 We can do anything and we will be very obedient. We don’t want to be separated from our three children. "

 …

 “Okay, I’ll be here in a minute.”

Shengxing’s family consists of five, including two cooks, two maids, and two boys.

 In the end, Ziyu bought five skilled craftsmen, including the woman named Xiaocao Huiweaver.

To Wang Xingwang's ears, he sounded old-fashioned, like a wise man who had seen all the prosperity of the world and wanted to retire.

Ziyu's scrutinizing eyes glanced back and forth over the forty people. She was a little thinner, but still healthy. She opened her lips lightly and said.

Just like when she bought gems in Shangdu Prefecture and went to Yundu alone to sell them, the profit she gained was dozens of times greater.

 Two days later, all the supplies in the big yard and the newly purchased servants were all boarded.

A haggard middle-aged woman came out of the queue, knelt down in front of Ziyu with a bang, and looked at Ziyu pleadingly with a pair of slightly swollen eyes.

“Brother Hong, go and drive out all the mule carts from home.”

 “Thank you, Mr. Sir!”

Perhaps it was because of luck that the sun was shining early in the morning.

“Sir, please buy my family!

If she didn't have space to take cover, just being followed along the way would be enough to annoy her.

“Brother Ziyu, you are truly the best among men, you dare to take risks.

 …

 “Little grass can weave cloth.”

Hearing the little crybaby's voice became hoarse, Ziyu felt a little guilty.

The two of them were very grateful. It seemed that their host family was unwilling to have a five-year-old daughter, but they did not want to be separated.

 “Brother…liar!” Xiao Luo said aggrievedly.

 I can’t do it anymore. I am old and have a family, so I don’t dare to face those unknown things. "

“Brother Wang, aren’t you also very adventurous?

 …

 Brother, let me buy you some people and see if you like them. "

Ziyu estimated that he gave three taels of silver ingots. Sheng Xing, perhaps to avoid suspicion, chose one of the boys and a middle-aged man to go with him.

 “Shi San is a stonemason.”

　　It took a lot of hardships to keep the family from being sold separately, so naturally I am very grateful to Ziyu.

 Old man Tie, who has been wandering for many years, has been in contact with people from different places in Ziyu’s family for a period of time, and he feels warm everywhere.

 “Back to the young master, I am the second steward of the former master’s house.

He didn't know where to go next time, and he wanted to go near the sea again, but the Wang family blocked the sale.

"To be honest, bandits appear from time to time on the sea, making single ships like ours afraid to go to sea easily." Wang Xingwang looked at the calm water and said worriedly.

 Five peasant women and two middle-aged men are slightly disabled, but it does not affect their lives.

Sometimes living in a corner is not a bad thing. Let Xiao Luo go out and explore when he is older.

Purple jade also refers to ships, and its meaning is self-evident.

 Can't find a way out, so I can only draw money from the bottom of the pot and take the family far away.

 The worst thing is, just live in seclusion in a remote place like your little brothers.
