Chapter 1991 The soft rice tastes so good
“Brother, second brother, you have to drink this fish soup while it’s hot, otherwise it will smell fishy.” After Li Shu finished serving her father, she looked at her eldest brother and second brother attentively. Brother, I personally served a bowl of fish soup to the eldest brother and the second brother.
"Sister, didn't you just say that the Folangji Artillery and the Red-haired Yi belong to both of us?"
The hands of the eldest brother and the second brother trembled when they took the fish soup.
They had enjoyed watching the flash of swords and swords that his father was being blackmailed just now, but they did not expect that it would be their turn so soon.
"It's yours, but this is too stingy. My eldest and second brothers used to say they would pick the stars and the moon and give them to me when they were young. Now I won't let you pick the stars and the moon. It's just Just let you guys put in a little effort." Li Shu stretched out her little hand and squeezed it, and said to the eldest and second brother in a sweet voice.
"Sister, you know the situation of our family. We have not separated. The old man is in control of the family business. Brother, I haven't saved much private money, so I took out 8,000 taels. The money supports my brother-in-law's great cause of fighting against the Japanese. In addition, I have two drug stores in Hangzhou and one in Shaoxing. All the grain shops also supported my brother-in-law's anti-Japanese cause. "
The eldest brother surrendered directly. As he said, the family business was in charge of the rich man Li. Although they were given some shops, they were all given. It's pocket money, the quantity is limited, and the eldest brother is bleeding a lot.
"Like my eldest brother, I also spent eight thousand taels of silver to support my brother-in-law's great cause of fighting against the Japanese. The only shop I have nearby is a cloth shop in Shaoxing, but I have two newly launched Fus in the south. The boats are all large and lucky ships that can carry two to three hundred people. They haven't even made a single trip on the waterway, so they will all be used to support my brother-in-law's fight against the Japanese." The second brother also surrendered, and he also suffered a lot of bleeding.
“Big brother and second brother are so kind.” Li Shu smiled happily.
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. The feeling of eating soft rice was so refreshing.
Think about the harvest.
My father-in-law supported: ten large blessing ships, five small and medium-sized blessing ships, four to five hundred Northland horses, one hundred thousand stones of grain and grass, ten thousand pieces of cloth, five thousand sets of quilts, and linoleum tents A thousand caps.
My brother-in-law provided support: eight thousand taels of silver, two medicine shops, and one grain shop.
The second brother-in-law provided support: eight thousand liang of silver, one cloth bank, and two large blessing ships.
Zhejiang has almost no navy, and has fewer options for fighting against Japanese invaders. With twelve large-scale fortune ships and five small and medium-sized fortune ships supported by his father-in-law and second brother-in-law, he can start building Zhejiang's navy.
As for the food and grass, I won’t have to worry about food and grass in the next two years.
There are also horses, quilts, linoleum tents, and medicinal materials. Zhejiang Army almost doesn’t have to worry about the logistics.
The stinky face of his father-in-law is getting cuter and cuter as he looks at it. Even if it is ten times, a million times, a million times more stinky, it won’t be a big deal.
Li Shu squinted her eyes proudly and winked at Zhu Pingan. , Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but give Li Shu a thumbs up.
"Thank you, Mr. Taishan, thank you, eldest brother, thank you, second brother. With your support, I am more confident. I will clear up the Japanese pirates in Zhejiang as soon as possible and restore peace to the people." Zhu Ping'an benefited greatly with the help of his virtuous wife , immediately stood up and sincerely thanked his father-in-law and two brothers-in-law.
"One family talks about two families." Both brothers-in-law smiled and waved their hands.
But Rich Man Li did not. He looked at Zhu Ping'an with burning eyes, "I don't care about the people, I only care about my Shu'er. Zhu Xiaozi, you have also seen that my Shu'er treats you But with all your heart and soul, you must treat my Shu'er well. If you dare to live up to my Shu'er even a little bit, I don't care how big an official you are or how many people you have under your command. No matter whether you go up the mountain of swords, go down into the sea of fire, or rush into the Golden Palace, I still want to make you look good!"
"Dad! , what did you say?" Li Shu said angrily.
"Don't worry, Lord Taishan. Sister Li treats me as deeply as the ocean. How could I let down Sister Li? I, Zhu Ping'an, swear to God, if I fail Sister Li even a little bit, I won't need you to take any action when the time comes." I will kill myself to thank the world. If I violate even one word, I will be struck by five thunders from the sky. It will not be good."
Zhu Pingan swore.
However, before the oath was finished, Li Shu blocked her mouth, "I believe it, there is no need to send it."
Rich Man Li and others were fed a handful of dogs at the table grain.
The next day, after Zhu Ping'an had breakfast in the backyard, he went to the front office to read through the official documents that had been exchanged in the past three years and became familiar with official affairs. After turning through a volume, he heard a government official knocking on the door to report that Yu Dayou, the counselor of the various prefectures in Taizhou, Ningbo Come and meet me.
Yu Dayou's residence is not far away, in Zhenhai, Ningbo, about two hundred miles away from Shaoxing. It's not too far, but it's not too close either. If you drive at a fast pace, it will take two or three hours to change horses.
It was just past seven o'clock now. Calculating the time, Yu Dayou was on his way before dawn.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ping'an quickly ordered the government officials, "Please come quickly. General Yu will be coming from Zhenhai before dawn. You can go to the stove to get a breakfast for Yu." The general was eating and talking. "
Soon, the tall and burly Yu Dayou came to the rescue. He came, dressed in regular clothes, and greeted Zhu Ping'an with fists clasped as soon as he entered the door, "General Yu Dayou greets Zhu Butang."
"General Yu, no courtesy, we are old acquaintances, no need for more courtesy." Ping An stepped forward to help Yu Dayou up, "Zhenhai is more than two hundred miles away, General Yu The army was on the road before dawn, and it was a hard journey."
Yu Dayou shook his head and said frankly, "Thank you Zhu Butang, it's not hard, not at all. In fact, the general will not leave from Zhenhai today. Those who came here arrived in Shaoxing at the end of yesterday, but at that time The chief envoy, the aggressor and the capital commander had not yet come to see Zhu Butang, so I did not dare to rush in. After the three envoys paid homage to Zhu Butang, Lord Taishan from Zhu Butang arrived again, and it was inconvenient for me. Excuse me. That’s why I came to see Zhu Butang today.”
At this moment, the yamen servant came with a breakfast.
A bowl of porridge, two steamed buns, a cold shredded radish, a stir-fried mung bean sprouts in vinegar, and two boiled eggs.
"Lord, haven't you had breakfast yet? Then I'll wait outside." When Yu Dayou saw the officer bringing breakfast at this time, he thought Zhu Ping'an hadn't had breakfast yet, so he said After pooping, he got up and prepared to wait outside so as not to disturb Zhu Ping'an from enjoying his breakfast.
“We adults have already had breakfast and have been working for a long time. When your Excellency heard about your arrival, General Yu, you thought that the general would be on his way before dawn. He was worried that the general would be hungry, so he specially gave you The breakfast you want is for you to talk about while you eat." The officer couldn't help but say after hearing this.
Yu Dayou did not expect that this breakfast was specially prepared for him by Zhu Ping'an. Over the years, he had often met with superior officials and received cold treatment. He had never received such attention before, and he couldn't help but be moved. (End of chapter)
