Chapter 102
Wang Kunfeng was busy in the barracks for a long time. When he came back, he saw that the front of his house was very lively. When he entered the door, he almost tripped over a big box. After asking, he found out that it was the officials and family members of the state government who learned about it. When the princess came back from family visits, they all sent congratulatory gifts.
"Brother Kun, are you back? Come and see! Our military rations are in place!" Bai Chunsheng was very happy to see Wang Kunfeng coming in, and pulled him aside with a proud face, and put himself through the mouths of the two eunuchs. He let it out to the outside world that he was greedy for money, and then those in the state government who wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with him, the prince, came over to give him gifts.
Wang Kunfeng: "..."
"Also, I plan to hold a banquet at home for the officials of the state capital in three days. At that time, you will also bring the generals of the new barracks over, and everyone will be lively together."
"Don't you still want to..." Want to receive another wave of gifts?Wang Kunfeng really couldn't say the rest of the sentence.
"Where did you go? Am I that kind of demon with only silver in his eyes?" He Mujing rolled his eyes at him, "The two eunuchs are still living at home, and the supervision of the new barracks is almost the same now, I'm afraid Their eyes are about to stare at you again, I thought, taking advantage of this banquet, I might as well find something for them to do..."
"What do you want to do?"
"Hey~ You'll know when the time comes. Anyway, you just wait and see the show. This time, I will not only take advantage of the banquet to accept another gift, but if I'm lucky, I might also get the benefits of those two eunuchs swallowing it." I can dig it out for them!" Bai Chunsheng sneered coldly, really thought he would just make a fuss and toss them once and it would be over?
Dare to bully his cat, wait for death!
Those two internal eunuchs didn't know that their unlucky days were coming, and they argued behind closed doors. The core issue of the dispute was whether to secretly report to His Majesty the matter of wantonly extorting bribes from Prince Ping Hai.
Internal Superintendent A: "Even if we don't talk about this matter, as long as His Majesty has the heart, can others not talk about it? Instead of being punished by His Majesty for not reporting what we know, it's better for us to just talk about it now."
Inspector B: "Tell me! Think about it! Why did the princess ask for bribes behind the prince's back? Was it because the queen was partial? Besides, the princess doesn't know the officials of the state capital. How did he ask for bribes? When His Majesty asked, how do you plan to reply?"
Inner Superintendent A: "Then, you can't just say nothing, right? In case His Majesty finds out..."
As the saying goes, taking bribes is a pleasure for a while, and the crematorium has taken so much gold, silver and jewelry, it is impossible for them to spit it out now, and they are simply reluctant.However, if you really want to secretly report to His Majesty the matter of the prince and his wife extorting bribes, if His Majesty is furious, he will send someone down to investigate, and then pull out the carrots and bring out the mud, and find out that they are extorting bribes and accepting bribes in the local area. Regarding the matter of silver, their end will only be ten thousand times more miserable than that of the prince and his wife.
"In my opinion, it's better than this," Inner Warden B rolled his rogue eyeballs, and whispered in Inner Warden A's ear, "Let's just be good people for once, I think this Prince Pinghai just needs to suffer." When we are petting, we don't have to offend the celebrity in front of His Majesty, right? Secret reports still need to be secret reports, let's change the wording."
"How to say?"
"Anyway, isn't the queen already gone? Let's play the report, saying that the princess didn't expect to meet relatives from her hometown when she came to Donghai. The officials of the government borrowed some money to survive the current hurdle, and collected some money to buy some gifts and go home to meet the elders."
"Anyway, it's a borrowed money. The princess gave someone a loan. We don't know if they want it or not." The eyes of the inner supervisor A brightened, and finally he understood.
"Exactly, we are only responsible for monitoring the affairs of the new army, the prince and the princess. How can we know so clearly? If His Majesty asks about it at that time, it has nothing to do with us. Even if this matter comes to light, the prince and the princess will not be blamed." Come on us." Inner Eunuch B smiled slightly, he has done this kind of messy things a lot and tried them time and again, otherwise he wouldn't have been selected from so many inner eunuchs to serve His Majesty, wouldn't he?
For the next three days, the entire garden was very lively. Some learned that the prince and his wife were finally willing to accept the gift, and hurried over to pay homage to the pier to make up for their filial piety; There was a theater troupe invited from outside by Bai Chunsheng's orders, rehearsing and rehearsing in the backyard noisily for days, preparing to serve the nobles on the day of the big banquet.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Jiang Hong and Bai Ji took the money given by Bai Chunsheng and bought a lot of rice grains, salt and other things in the name of doing business. Salt is a controlled product. There are many, but who made them the princess's real father?
The state government officials personally approved the note and temporarily gave them the authority to sell salt. This is a small authority of the local governments. Serious salt merchants have to be specially approved by the court, but there are exceptions, such as the temporary dispatch of the state government. Some of them can be specially approved. The officials of the state government wanted to curry favor with the prince, so they simply told them that this batch of official salt was the military supplies for the new military camp to go to sea, and there was no way to check it!
The new army was built by His Majesty himself, if you are capable, go and check His Majesty's accounts?
In this way, Jiang Hong and Bai Ji used the excuse of military training to blatantly transport a large amount of rice into the barracks, and then directly boarded the ship from the barracks and sent them to the small island where they were preparing to hide their troops.
On the day of the royal banquet, almost all the senior officials from the state capitals along the East China Sea were present. Even if they were unable to come in person due to official duties, they let their family members come over. Don’t look at Bai Chunsheng, the princess, who seems to be a concubine in the eyes of the royal family. In this part of the East China Sea, people are still very bluffing, and everyone is giving him face. Of course, in his opinion, the only way to show him face is to give him extra generous gifts.
I really don't know how expensive Chai Migui is. In the past, these half-monster recruits were raised by the imperial court, and Bai Chunsheng still couldn't feel it. However, when buying rice these days, he and Wang Kunfeng specially took the accounts of the military camp for reference. Rao is to remove the part in the middle that may be corrupted, and the real cost of raising soldiers is also huge.
The food intake of these half-demons is free to eat. There are more than a dozen ordinary mortal soldiers. Uncle Mao, who originally wanted to test his own private money to raise soldiers, fell silent for a moment after seeing the final calculation of the cost of raising soldiers, and acquiesced to him. Jiahe mussel digs the corner of the imperial court to raise soldiers.
Not only that, the mussel spirit who is careful and careful has also learned some unique purchasing skills. For example, some merchants who cooperate with the imperial court and local government all the year round can usually get the goods first, and then settle the payment at the New Year's Eve. For this convenience, he bought a lot of rice, cloth, commonly used medicinal materials and the like from big merchants in nearby state capitals in one go.
At the same time, the first batch of gold ore was sent to the imperial city by special personnel.
"Is this the gold ore produced overseas?" Looking at the gold ore filled with six large boxes, the emperor was satisfied but also regretful, "Why so little?"
"His Majesty, the prince really wants to change more, but..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that I'm so shy that I really can't spend any money to buy food and cloth. Before I set off, I heard that the princess had the cheek to ask the merchants in the state capital below to buy some rice, grain and cloth on credit. I'm going to exchange it for some gold. The ore came back, the prince said, when our own soldiers are trained, or we go to sea to find the gold mine, or send troops to capture it, then the imperial court will have a large number of gold mines in storage."
"I'm ashamed... That's all! I know." The emperor was stunned for a moment, thinking of the secret report sent by the two inner eunuchs in advance, he shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. How could he have forgotten that Wang Kunfeng lived outside alone since he was a child and supported himself? I'm pretty good, so where do I have any savings?I'm afraid that the couple are worried that they won't be able to complete the errands they assigned, and they dare not do illegal things, so they have no choice but to go to private merchants to ask for credit, right?
The little bit of conscience left by the emperor was inexplicably aching, and he waved and ordered someone to call the Minister of the Household Department. After thinking about it, he ordered someone to open his own private treasury, and asked someone to pick out some things and send them to Wang Kunfeng and his wife. go.
However, he can’t be blamed for his preference for Dalang. It’s because this kid looked silent and made him look good after doing two errands. He attacked Hanlan Country and destroyed a country with very low casualties. It is a small country in the sea, but since the founding of this dynasty, there have been very few such achievements in destroying the country, and it is not an exaggeration to give him the title of prince.The other thing is the half-demon new army and going out to sea to search for gold mines. The people below the gold mines have seen it and said that it is of excellent quality, which is even purer than the gold mines they found on the shore. It needs to be high, if it can be excavated in large quantities, I am afraid that within a few years, the somewhat empty treasury will gradually be filled.
With the emperor's commendation, the people in the state capital below became more active in wanting to curry favor with Prince Pinghai and his wife. As soon as the emperor's decree arrived, the high-level officials knew the truth of the matter. It turned out that Prince Pinghai came to the East China Sea this time to train The new half-demon army is just a cover on the surface, but in fact it is secretly looking for overseas gold mines for His Majesty.
In this way, there is a reasonable explanation for the behavior of the prince and concubine to buy rice, grain, and salt: the new army has not yet been trained, and if they want to continuously pay tribute to the court with gold ore, they must take some local products from the shore to find sea monsters. their help.
Thinking of this, the officials of the state capital worshiped their great majesty more and more. Your majesty is indeed your majesty, and you are far-sighted!At the beginning, how many people thought that it was a big loss for Prince Pinghai to marry such a river clam spirit from the countryside, even if he was only a half-demon, after all, he is the eldest son of His Majesty, the daughter of a marquis and noble family, don't even think about it. A concubine's daughter or a daughter of an ordinary official's family can definitely marry back to be a concubine. Why can't she think about marrying such an orphan who doesn't even have any relatives?
Thinking about it now, their Majesty's eyes are still vicious!Where is the orphan demon who has no relatives and five dependents?It is clearly a rich second-generation demon who can walk sideways in the East China Sea relying on the relationship of her natal family!
The Bai family and the others have also heard about it, they are well-known purchasing agents in the East China Sea, cough!It is said that those sea-monsters living in seclusion in the East China Sea have exchanged daily necessities from the Bai family couple in all likelihood, and the Bai family couple have also become rich families in the state capital by virtue of the sea specialties they exchanged from them. The guest of honor, after all, not everyone has the ability to go treasure hunting in the deep sea.
If it weren't for habitually controlling all important things in his own hands, even the emperor would want to do business with those sea monsters directly. It is really a good deal to exchange the native products on the shore for the precious ores in the sea!
The few merchants who gave Bai Chunsheng rice, grain and cloth on credit also looked very proud. Some of their colleagues said sour words before, saying that Prince Pinghai and his wife were not favored by His Majesty and the former Queen at all. It's just for taking advantage of him, if you really want to feel sorry for him, who would let his beloved son go into danger, and even bring half-monsters to the beach to train soldiers?Their bad debt is definitely not coming back!
It has not been a month since I said this, but I was slapped in the face by an imperial decree from His Majesty.
Hubu personally came forward to pay off the debt for Prince Pinghai!His Majesty also specially praised them in the imperial decree, although the total sum is less than five words, and the imperial decree is not for them, but!yes!From now on, they will be the ones who have received the imperial edict!It is the merchant who has been praised by His Majesty today!It is simply the pride of the industry!
The merchants who politely refused Bai Chunsheng's credit at the beginning were so regretful that their stomachs were green.
Taking advantage of the power of the imperial decree, Bai Chunsheng naturally and unceremoniously borrowed a large amount of rice, grain and cloth from merchants in various state capitals. This time, he didn't even need to find an excuse, and directly asked the merchants to deliver the goods to the warehouse at the dock, and waited. At that time, it will be shipped overseas in batches.
People in the state capital already knew, or those who didn't know vaguely guessed that Prince Pinghai bought such a large amount of rice, grain and cloth, and it was probably going to be a big event, involving military and political affairs, not to mention merchants, even ordinary people. The low-level officials didn't dare to say anything, for fear of missing the court's important affairs, the pier opened the door for convenience, leaving the best position to the Bai family and his wife who were in charge of delivering supplies.
Jiang Hong and Bai Ji have been doing business on the east coast for such a long time, and this is the first time they have encountered such royal treatment. However, it is not their husband and wife style to take advantage of the advantages, so they open the door of convenience through the pier For the convenience, they seized the time to buy many things that are very popular among the sea monsters and shipped them out together.
They knew what Bai Chunsheng and Wang Kunfeng wanted to do. Once the incident happened, it might not be so easy for them to go ashore to buy in the future. The husband and wife don't care too much, anyway, they don't rely on this business to live anymore, at worst, they travel overseas with their son and settle on the other side of the sea. As long as the family can be together, where is it right to do business?
Maybe it's better to do business on the other side of the sea.
With this in mind, the couple turned into hamsters and tirelessly began to move supplies and property to the island where they lived.
The two inner eunuchs were almost frightened to death.
His Majesty already knew that in order to raise money for gold ore, Prince Pinghai and his wife even came up with a way to find merchants to pay on credit.The problem is that the prince came here with a large amount of military expenses, why did he not even have money to buy rice?Does it take so much money to build a new barracks?
Thinking that His Majesty might soon send someone to check the accounts, the two eunuchs trembled and were in a state of panic all day long.
Where do you still want to stare at the prince and his wife?
Now they hope that the prince and his wife can say something good for them, and they are willing to give all the money they have been greedy for!
"Oh? The two adults are really willing to donate their wealth as military funds for the new army?" Hearing the request of the two inner eunuchs, Bai Chunsheng laughed secretly, but his face was very moved, "The two adults are worthy of being the emperor's father. The most important person really understands righteousness!"
"Where, the servants have just heard that the prince has to do other errands for His Majesty besides training the new army. The official affairs of the court are complicated, and I am afraid that they will not be able to take care of so much for a while. It is our honor to use His Majesty's grace to serve the imperial court." The two eunuchs looked sincere.
"My lord and I have no choice but to appreciate what the two lords have said. Don't worry, I will ask the lord to make a note later, and personally ask for credit for the two lords!" Looking at the "donation slip" handed over by the two inner eunuchs , Bai Chunsheng nodded in satisfaction, not bad, not bad, it seems that in addition to the greedy military expenses, they have also suffered some blood, so they can let them go anyway, anyway, even if they don't do anything, when the time comes he will Running away with Master Cat, these two bear the name of poor supervision, and I'm afraid they won't get much favors when they go back.
However, they don't bother to take care of these two internal prisons now.
Wang Kunfeng has already started to work, recruiting many craftsmen who are good at shipbuilding from all over the country, and secretly sent them to the island where they hid soldiers through various channels. Some half-demons secretly recruited were also sent to the island together with the craftsmen. On the way, help build a big ship to go to sea together, familiarize yourself with the sea environment by the way, and build a temporary stone house on the island.
Speaking of this stone house, they really ignored this problem at first. The sea is very stormy and the sea water is extremely corrosive. If you build an ordinary wooden house on the island, whether it can withstand the typhoon is a problem, and the wooden board will be quickly destroyed. Sea breeze corrosion is another problem.
In the end, the "well-informed" river clam spirit gave his cat master an idea: use rocks from the seabed mixed with shells and some kind of seaweed that is smashed and sticky, and build some simple stone houses on the island The specific operating principle is similar to the concrete structure buildings of later generations. The craftsmen tried it and found that the stone walls built by this method are really strong, and they are not far behind the walls built with bluestone bricks and rice paste. Let it go, and the materials for this construction are everywhere in the sea, it is very convenient, and it does not cost money, as long as it takes some effort.
Considering that the typhoon season on the island might be very stormy, Bai Chunsheng personally drew the blueprints based on the characteristics of some seaside residential buildings that he had seen on TV in his previous life, and asked the craftsmen to pay attention to the drainage of the houses when building stone houses. The problem is that the slope of the roof is designed to be steeper than ordinary roofs to facilitate drainage. The roof is made of local materials, such as sea grass. After drying, it is covered with seaweed mud layer by layer, and finally covered with fishing nets. Just fix it on the roof.
After being inspired this time, Bai Chunsheng found that their plan to go out to sea and escape from this country was a little too rash. Even with the two fathers of the Bai family leading the way, they brought so many half-monsters to sail on the sea. considering.
As a last resort, Bai Chunsheng had no choice but to carry a pen and paper with him, thinking hard every day about the documentaries he watched in his previous life, the variety shows for survival in the wild, etc., and quickly wrote down anything that could be used when he thought of it, and compiled a very detailed one. Purchase order, ready to purchase some of the above things and move them out first.
Wang Kunfeng seldom came back to eat with him recently. Over at the barracks, the two inner eunuchs were so frightened that they no longer dared to intervene casually. With great difficulty, now that the entire new army camp has returned to him, he is naturally busy training his subordinates and gathering forces.
The three young ones didn't know that they would move out sooner or later, and they had already planned tree houses with different functions for every tree in the yard. They are tossing and tossing, they are busy building tree houses all day long, and when they are tired, they go to the Octopus Water Park to play and rest. They don't even think about eating every day, so don't worry about it.
In this way, the end of the year came in the blink of an eye. The couple were busy betraying the emperor, recruiting the emperor's new army to start their own business overseas, so naturally they were reluctant to go back to the court at this time, so they had to buy it locally again. Some local products, please Jiang Hong and Bai Ji use the sauce produced by the workshop to go to the sea to find those sea monsters and exchange them for some big red coral trees as tall as a person, night pearls as big as eggs, pure black pearls, and rare sea fish on the bottom of the sea Wait, we packed them up and sent them to the imperial city. Firstly, to celebrate the New Year for the emperor, and secondly, to tell the emperor that they are busy looking for gold mines for the imperial court, so they might not be able to come back to celebrate the new year this year.
The emperor's attitude towards the two of them was very helpful. The rewards were also given according to the treatment of the royal princes. He also specially asked people to reward a lot of things to Auntie who stayed in the palace. Even Saburo who was far away in Qinghe got a lot of good things.
It made everyone feel embarrassed to poach his corner.
However, this short-lived guilt only lasted for one New Year.
After the new year, the prince and his wife once again enthusiastically devoted themselves to the great cause of rebellion.
The specific performance is that Bai Chunsheng finally opened the first branch of Baijia Workshop on the east coast, using the cheap small seafood on the seashore, and began to produce various seafood-flavored barbecue sauces, bibimbap sauce, braised sauce, etc. in large quantities. Together with the old craftsmen of the workshop, we developed the first seafood-flavored soy sauce.
Jiang Hong and Bai Ji obviously felt that their business on the sea had suddenly improved, especially the light soy sauce, which was extremely delicious when dipped in fish sticks. The sea monsters in the East China Sea had no shortage of fresh fish and shrimp, but, this This is the first time I have eaten such a delicious sauce. I heard that their husband and wife wanted to exchange these sauces for gold ore, and there really was a Kraken who found gold ore and exchanged it with them.
Wang Kunfeng got a lot of gold ore, but only took one-tenth of it and sent it to the court for business, and hid the rest by himself, preparing to smelt it for future military pay.
"Brother Kun, are you back? Come and see! Our military rations are in place!" Bai Chunsheng was very happy to see Wang Kunfeng coming in, and pulled him aside with a proud face, and put himself through the mouths of the two eunuchs. He let it out to the outside world that he was greedy for money, and then those in the state government who wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with him, the prince, came over to give him gifts.
Wang Kunfeng: "..."
"Also, I plan to hold a banquet at home for the officials of the state capital in three days. At that time, you will also bring the generals of the new barracks over, and everyone will be lively together."
"Don't you still want to..." Want to receive another wave of gifts?Wang Kunfeng really couldn't say the rest of the sentence.
"Where did you go? Am I that kind of demon with only silver in his eyes?" He Mujing rolled his eyes at him, "The two eunuchs are still living at home, and the supervision of the new barracks is almost the same now, I'm afraid Their eyes are about to stare at you again, I thought, taking advantage of this banquet, I might as well find something for them to do..."
"What do you want to do?"
"Hey~ You'll know when the time comes. Anyway, you just wait and see the show. This time, I will not only take advantage of the banquet to accept another gift, but if I'm lucky, I might also get the benefits of those two eunuchs swallowing it." I can dig it out for them!" Bai Chunsheng sneered coldly, really thought he would just make a fuss and toss them once and it would be over?
Dare to bully his cat, wait for death!
Those two internal eunuchs didn't know that their unlucky days were coming, and they argued behind closed doors. The core issue of the dispute was whether to secretly report to His Majesty the matter of wantonly extorting bribes from Prince Ping Hai.

"Exactly, we are only responsible for monitoring the affairs of the new army, the prince and the princess. How can we know so clearly? If His Majesty asks about it at that time, it has nothing to do with us. Even if this matter comes to light, the prince and the princess will not be blamed." Come on us." Inner Eunuch B smiled slightly, he has done this kind of messy things a lot and tried them time and again, otherwise he wouldn't have been selected from so many inner eunuchs to serve His Majesty, wouldn't he?
For the next three days, the entire garden was very lively. Some learned that the prince and his wife were finally willing to accept the gift, and hurried over to pay homage to the pier to make up for their filial piety; There was a theater troupe invited from outside by Bai Chunsheng's orders, rehearsing and rehearsing in the backyard noisily for days, preparing to serve the nobles on the day of the big banquet.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Jiang Hong and Bai Ji took the money given by Bai Chunsheng and bought a lot of rice grains, salt and other things in the name of doing business. Salt is a controlled product. There are many, but who made them the princess's real father?

Your majesty is indeed your majesty, and you are far-sighted!At the beginning, how many people thought that it was a big loss for Prince Pinghai to marry such a river clam spirit from the countryside, even if he was only a half-demon, after all, he is the eldest son of His Majesty, the daughter of a marquis and noble family, don't even think about it. A concubine's daughter or a daughter of an ordinary official's family can definitely marry back to be a concubine. Why can't she think about marrying such an orphan who doesn't even have any relatives?
Thinking about it now, their Majesty's eyes are still vicious!Where is the orphan demon who has no relatives and five dependents?It is clearly a rich second-generation demon who can walk sideways in the East China Sea relying on the relationship of her natal family!
The Bai family and the others have also heard about it, they are well-known purchasing agents in the East China Sea, cough!It is said that those sea-monsters living in seclusion in the East China Sea have exchanged daily necessities from the Bai family couple in all likelihood, and the Bai family couple have also become rich families in the state capital by virtue of the sea specialties they exchanged from them. The guest of honor, after all, not everyone has the ability to go treasure hunting in the deep sea.
If it weren't for habitually controlling all important things in his own hands, even the emperor would want to do business with those sea monsters directly. It is really a good deal to exchange the native products on the shore for the precious ores in the sea!
The few merchants who gave Bai Chunsheng rice, grain and cloth on credit also looked very proud. Some of their colleagues said sour words before, saying that Prince Pinghai and his wife were not favored by His Majesty and the former Queen at all. It's just for taking advantage of him, if you really want to feel sorry for him, who would let his beloved son go into danger, and even bring half-monsters to the beach to train soldiers?Their bad debt is definitely not coming back!
It has not been a month since I said this, but I was slapped in the face by an imperial decree from His Majesty.
Hubu personally came forward to pay off the debt for Prince Pinghai!His Majesty also specially praised them in the imperial decree, although the total sum is less than five words, and the imperial decree is not for them, but!yes!From now on, they will be the ones who have received the imperial edict!It is the merchant who has been praised by His Majesty today!It is simply the pride of the industry!
The merchants who politely refused Bai Chunsheng's credit at the beginning were so regretful that their stomachs were green.
Taking advantage of the power of the imperial decree, Bai Chunsheng naturally and unceremoniously borrowed a large amount of rice, grain and cloth from merchants in various state capitals. This time, he didn't even need to find an excuse, and directly asked the merchants to deliver the goods to the warehouse at the dock, and waited. At that time, it will be shipped overseas in batches.
People in the state capital already knew, or those who didn't know vaguely guessed that Prince Pinghai bought such a large amount of rice, grain and cloth, and it was probably going to be a big event, involving military and political affairs, not to mention merchants, even ordinary people. The low-level officials didn't dare to say anything, for fear of missing the court's important affairs, the pier opened the door for convenience, leaving the best position to the Bai family and his wife who were in charge of delivering supplies.
Jiang Hong and Bai Ji have been doing business on the east coast for such a long time, and this is the first time they have encountered such royal treatment. However, it is not their husband and wife style to take advantage of the advantages, so they open the door of convenience through the pier For the convenience, they seized the time to buy many things that are very popular among the sea monsters and shipped them out together.
They knew what Bai Chunsheng and Wang Kunfeng wanted to do. Once the incident happened, it might not be so easy for them to go ashore to buy in the future. The husband and wife don't care too much, anyway, they don't rely on this business to live anymore, at worst, they travel overseas with their son and settle on the other side of the sea. As long as the family can be together, where is it right to do business?
Maybe it's better to do business on the other side of the sea.
With this in mind, the couple turned into hamsters and tirelessly began to move supplies and property to the island where they lived.
The two inner eunuchs were almost frightened to death.
His Majesty already knew that in order to raise money for gold ore, Prince Pinghai and his wife even came up with a way to find merchants to pay on credit.The problem is that the prince came here with a large amount of military expenses, why did he not even have money to buy rice?Does it take so much money to build a new barracks?
Thinking that His Majesty might soon send someone to check the accounts, the two eunuchs trembled and were in a state of panic all day long.
Where do you still want to stare at the prince and his wife?
Now they hope that the prince and his wife can say something good for them, and they are willing to give all the money they have been greedy for!
"Oh? The two adults are really willing to donate their wealth as military funds for the new army?" Hearing the request of the two inner eunuchs, Bai Chunsheng laughed secretly, but his face was very moved, "The two adults are worthy of being the emperor's father. The most important person really understands righteousness!"
"Where, the servants have just heard that the prince has to do other errands for His Majesty besides training the new army. The official affairs of the court are complicated, and I am afraid that they will not be able to take care of so much for a while. It is our honor to use His Majesty's grace to serve the imperial court." The two eunuchs looked sincere.
"My lord and I have no choice but to appreciate what the two lords have said. Don't worry, I will ask the lord to make a note later, and personally ask for credit for the two lords!" Looking at the "donation slip" handed over by the two inner eunuchs , Bai Chunsheng nodded in satisfaction, not bad, not bad, it seems that in addition to the greedy military expenses, they have also suffered some blood, so they can let them go anyway, anyway, even if they don't do anything, when the time comes he will Running away with Master Cat, these two bear the name of poor supervision, and I'm afraid they won't get much favors when they go back.
However, they don't bother to take care of these two internal prisons now.
Wang Kunfeng has already started to work, recruiting many craftsmen who are good at shipbuilding from all over the country, and secretly sent them to the island where they hid soldiers through various channels. Some half-demons secretly recruited were also sent to the island together with the craftsmen. On the way, help build a big ship to go to sea together, familiarize yourself with the sea environment by the way, and build a temporary stone house on the island.
Speaking of this stone house, they really ignored this problem at first. The sea is very stormy and the sea water is extremely corrosive. If you build an ordinary wooden house on the island, whether it can withstand the typhoon is a problem, and the wooden board will be quickly destroyed. Sea breeze corrosion is another problem.
In the end, the "well-informed" river clam spirit gave his cat master an idea: use rocks from the seabed mixed with shells and some kind of seaweed that is smashed and sticky, and build some simple stone houses on the island The specific operating principle is similar to the concrete structure buildings of later generations. The craftsmen tried it and found that the stone walls built by this method are really strong, and they are not far behind the walls built with bluestone bricks and rice paste. Let it go, and the materials for this construction are everywhere in the sea, it is very convenient, and it does not cost money, as long as it takes some effort.
Considering that the typhoon season on the island might be very stormy, Bai Chunsheng personally drew the blueprints based on the characteristics of some seaside residential buildings that he had seen on TV in his previous life, and asked the craftsmen to pay attention to the drainage of the houses when building stone houses. The problem is that the slope of the roof is designed to be steeper than ordinary roofs to facilitate drainage. The roof is made of local materials, such as sea grass. After drying, it is covered with seaweed mud layer by layer, and finally covered with fishing nets. Just fix it on the roof.
After being inspired this time, Bai Chunsheng found that their plan to go out to sea and escape from this country was a little too rash. Even with the two fathers of the Bai family leading the way, they brought so many half-monsters to sail on the sea. considering.
As a last resort, Bai Chunsheng had no choice but to carry a pen and paper with him, thinking hard every day about the documentaries he watched in his previous life, the variety shows for survival in the wild, etc., and quickly wrote down anything that could be used when he thought of it, and compiled a very detailed one. Purchase order, ready to purchase some of the above things and move them out first.
Wang Kunfeng seldom came back to eat with him recently. Over at the barracks, the two inner eunuchs were so frightened that they no longer dared to intervene casually. With great difficulty, now that the entire new army camp has returned to him, he is naturally busy training his subordinates and gathering forces.
The three young ones didn't know that they would move out sooner or later, and they had already planned tree houses with different functions for every tree in the yard. They are tossing and tossing, they are busy building tree houses all day long, and when they are tired, they go to the Octopus Water Park to play and rest. They don't even think about eating every day, so don't worry about it.
In this way, the end of the year came in the blink of an eye. The couple were busy betraying the emperor, recruiting the emperor's new army to start their own business overseas, so naturally they were reluctant to go back to the court at this time, so they had to buy it locally again. Some local products, please Jiang Hong and Bai Ji use the sauce produced by the workshop to go to the sea to find those sea monsters and exchange them for some big red coral trees as tall as a person, night pearls as big as eggs, pure black pearls, and rare sea fish on the bottom of the sea Wait, we packed them up and sent them to the imperial city. Firstly, to celebrate the New Year for the emperor, and secondly, to tell the emperor that they are busy looking for gold mines for the imperial court, so they might not be able to come back to celebrate the new year this year.
The emperor's attitude towards the two of them was very helpful. The rewards were also given according to the treatment of the royal princes. He also specially asked people to reward a lot of things to Auntie who stayed in the palace. Even Saburo who was far away in Qinghe got a lot of good things.
It made everyone feel embarrassed to poach his corner.
However, this short-lived guilt only lasted for one New Year.
After the new year, the prince and his wife once again enthusiastically devoted themselves to the great cause of rebellion.
The specific performance is that Bai Chunsheng finally opened the first branch of Baijia Workshop on the east coast, using the cheap small seafood on the seashore, and began to produce various seafood-flavored barbecue sauces, bibimbap sauce, braised sauce, etc. in large quantities. Together with the old craftsmen of the workshop, we developed the first seafood-flavored soy sauce.
Jiang Hong and Bai Ji obviously felt that their business on the sea had suddenly improved, especially the light soy sauce, which was extremely delicious when dipped in fish sticks. The sea monsters in the East China Sea had no shortage of fresh fish and shrimp, but, this This is the first time I have eaten such a delicious sauce. I heard that their husband and wife wanted to exchange these sauces for gold ore, and there really was a Kraken who found gold ore and exchanged it with them.
Wang Kunfeng got a lot of gold ore, but only took one-tenth of it and sent it to the court for business, and hid the rest by himself, preparing to smelt it for future military pay.
