Chapter 917 Worry-free Ferry
The horses quickly approached. Dongming Ziyu opened the curtain and took a look. He frowned and asked, "But what happened?"
He asked Mo to go to the terraced fields, and he should have been chasing him before he arrived. Something must have happened.
Mo Xiang saw that Dongming Ziyu was well and breathed a sigh of relief and said: "We met an assassin, and the assassin's target was the carriage that the prince was riding in. The assassin found that the carriage was occupied by the butler and several craftsmen, and ran away.
The servant was not worried about the prince's safety, so he led his men and chased him."
Shangguan Ruoli's heart tightened when he heard this, and asked: "How many assassins are there? Are they dead, wounded or alive?"
Mo Xiang said: "There were about ten people, all dressed as ordinary people, but they looked disguised. They had strong martial arts skills, and they also had fire guns. Some of them were injured in the fight, but they retreated under the cover of their companions."
"Ten people?" Dongming Ziyu guessed, "It must be the Jin Yiwei from the capital."
Shangguan Ruoli asked: "But a traitor leaked your whereabouts?"
Dongming Ziyu shook his head slightly, "Not necessarily. I have already decided to go to the mountains. I have also recruited some local farmers to do the work. This is not a secret."
Because of Feng Jinxing, he temporarily changed his itinerary and followed Shangguan Ruoli to the dock.
Because the roads in the fiefdom were all narrow, the carriage was not his special luxury carriage, but an ordinary carriage, so the injured left steward and several older craftsmen were allowed to ride.
Dongming Ziyu asked: "Are there any casualties among the people in the carriage?"
Mo Xiang said: "An old craftsman was hit by a fire cannon, but the vital part was not hit."
Shangguan Ruoli breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good," he turned to Dongming Ziyu and asked, "Are we still going to the dock?"
Dongming Ziyu gently scratched her little nose, "Who said you don't have to go out if you are afraid of assassins?"
His little wife agreed to take care of him, which instantly filled his gloomy heart with sunshine and made him feel very comfortable.
He ordered: "Continue to the dock, just be careful!"
The assassin jumped in vain and had already alerted the enemy. He knew that they would be more vigilant and would not chase him here again.
Shangguan Ruoli also understood this truth, but he could not relax his guard and said: "Be on guard outside the range of the fire gun."
Fortunately, the seaside has a wide view and the assassin has nowhere to hide.
When we arrived at the pier, because the guards were on alert, there were fewer people digging oysters and picking up shells. Finally, we spent some money to buy some fish and shrimps from the fishermen.
Last time, Bai Qingyan told the fishermen to bring back some of the plants they caught. After Shangguan Ruoli identified them, he told the fishermen which ones were edible, and asked them to send all the plants they caught to Prince Xuan's Mansion in the future, and they paid for them.
In addition, Shangguan Ruoli also told them that she wanted sea worms, even sea cucumbers, and asked them not to throw them away.
When the fishermen heard this, they were very happy, and they were very happy to have an extra income.
The pier is already bustling with activity. Craftsmen are using white lime to draw lines, and laborers recruited from nearby are leveling the land. It is a lively scene.
Each person is paid six copper coins a day, and they bring their own dry food and water. The people who work in the mountains over there are paid ten copper coins per person because their work is heavier.
The money is not much, but in this lean time, it is a reasonable income for the poor people.
The cofferdam of the wharf, the location for berthing large and small ships, streets, street pavements, warehouses, factories and other areas were all painted with white lime, and the basic prototype was considered.
Xiao Fei pointed to a location at the end of the street, far away from the dock, and said, "I want this place!"
He is truly an old man, so naturally everyone readily agrees to any request.
Shangguan Ruoli sent a rainbow fart, "The old man is really discerning. The terrain here is high and the foundation is not sand anymore. It is very solid. It is at the end of the street and it is very quiet."
Xiao Fei raised his eyebrows proudly, "That's natural!"
Shangguan Ruoli pointed to a place in the corner and said: "The one hundred acres of land there belong to me. I want to build a factory and have enough space to dry seafood."
Dongming Ziyu nodded fondly and said, "Okay, actually, the entire fief belongs to Li'er, so you don't have to take up space."
Shangguan Ruoli loved hearing this and rolled his eyes at him, "How can it be the same? My name cannot be written on the fiefdom."
Dongming Ziyu fell in love with her appearance and said, "So Li'er likes land deeds and house deeds? From then on, the shops on the two streets of the dock will all have Li'er's name written on them."
Feng Jinxing smiled slightly and said: "If Prince Xuan's Mansion wants to change the fiefdom, it will definitely need a lot of money. How about giving the construction of one of the streets to the Feng family?"
After the street is completed, the shops on both sides can be opened by oneself or rented out.
Dongming Ziyu glanced at him coolly, no wonder he followed him. It turned out that he had already planned to get a share of the pie. But what he said was right. Prince Xuan's Mansion invested too much money in the initial construction, so it would be better
Give up some opportunities.
Besides, this is just the prototype of the wharf. It will be developed in the future and the land will be sold. There is no way to stop others from buying land and building houses.
Moreover, only the Feng family has the strength to invest in the initial investment. After all, it has not developed at the beginning. The shops and houses may remain empty all year round, and they may not see any profits for several years.
Therefore, Dongming Ziyu agreed with dignity.
Xiao Fei was very satisfied with Dongming Ziyu's performance. King Xuan was not a person who affected major events due to emotional grievances. He coughed lightly and said: "This pier doesn't have a name either. Why don't you give it a name and have someone erect a stone monument on it?"
On the pier, it can be considered as laying the foundation stone."
Shangguan Ruoli remained silent, she was incompetent in naming her, otherwise the personal maid would not have been named after Rejoice and Sassoon.
Dongming Ziyu held his chin and thought for a while, then said: "Worry arises out of love, and fear arises out of love. If you are separated from your lover, you will have no worries and no fears. Let's call it Wuyou Ferry. If it develops into a town in the future,
, it’s called Wuyou Town.”
Xiao Fei's eyes turned red and he choked with sobs: "Boy, you...are serious."
The name Ruoli comes from these four verses. At the beginning, his daughter hoped that Shangguan Ruoli would be free from worries and fear.
Feng Jinxing was also slightly moved, "This is a good name."
If he were asked to pick it, he would pick it from a collection of classical poems, but he would not think of Shangguan Ruoli's name.
It can be seen that my feelings for Shangguan Ruoli are not as strong as those of Dongming Ziyu.
Shangguan Ruoli was moved and moved closer to Dongming Ziyu, holding his hand quietly, feeling a little regretful about losing his temper with him.
Dongming Ziyu raised the corners of his lips and held her hand tightly in his palm.
Suddenly, Yinxue let out a warning howl and dug desperately at a beach.
Bai Qingyan and Qingyun knew Yinxue best, so they ran over to check and found that Yinxue dug out a body from the beach.
And the corpse suddenly stretched out its long-nailed hands and pinched Yinxue's neck!
"No, zombie puppet!"
