"Brother, so you are really here?"

Hu Niu, wearing a kirin suit, walked with her short legs and hurriedly ran up the wooden stairs. As soon as she appeared, she saw Lin Weiran's figure and said in surprise.

As soon as the words came to an end, a finger bounced on her forehead, and she gave her a very proud "Oh" sound.

Lin Qingran was also guilty and immediately took the initiative to blame the wild girl and said, "Hu Niu, where have you been playing again? Why can't you see anyone all night?"

"Oh! Brother, have you forgotten? I'm going to the north of the city today to help you catch the big villain!" Hu Niu frowned immediately, and her dull face looked very serious.

Lin Weiran took his hand back in a bad mood, but remembered this.

A few days ago, this girl helped a village woman find the stolen ox in the bull market in the city. As a result, the cow dealer claimed that she bought it from Zhao Si in Guantang Village. The enthusiastic Hu Niu led the constable to arrest Zhao Si.

.

Hu Niu looked at Lin Weiran speechless, and in turn accused him with a crisp voice: "Brother, why haven't I said you yet? Xue Wuya was poisoned to death in the cell. Mr. Chen came to our house to report this matter to you. You

Why did you come here?"

Xue Wuya was poisoned?

Lin Weiran's brows immediately frowned, but it was beyond his expectations.

Wang Jin personally went to Leizhou City to plead with Xu Ji. After weighing the pros and cons, he chose to get rid of Xu Ji and release Jiang Yuanwai, which was considered to have sold Wang Jin to a face.

Although he felt that the relationship between Jiang Yuanwai and the Hongqi Gang was not simple, after agreeing to Wang Jin to release Jiang Yuanwai, he did not continue to conduct in-depth interrogation of Xue Wuya, and directly sentenced Xue Wuya, who was guilty of being punished, for the sake of the entire thing.

The event came to an end.

However, Xue Wuya was poisoned to death, and was undoubtedly silenced. This made him suddenly realize that Jiang Yuanwai was not only as simple as trading Siamese rice with Xue Wuya, but probably had a deeper relationship.

Hua Yingrong walked over from there and asked with a serious expression: "Hu Niu, do you know who poisoned him?"

"Sister Hua, don't know yet!" Hu Niu shook her head seriously, looked at Hua Yingrong and said honestly: "Now I just found out that Xue Wuya was poisoned to death. The prison cell was a little messy. I don't know who poisoned her.

, I don’t even know when I was poisoned to death!”

Hua Yingrong nodded gently, but a thoughtful look appeared on her face.

Lin Xuran looked at her in surprise, greeted her, and walked straight down the attic.

Xue Wuya was poisoned, so this was naturally not a big deal. But he vaguely felt that he had missed something this time. Choosing to sell Wang Sheng or Xu Jie's face was undoubtedly politically correct, but he let go of a jackal.

The matter was indeed more serious than he thought. When he asked someone to investigate who poisoned him, a suspected jailer hanged himself at home, which made this a unsolved case.

Although there is a little regret, the days have to continue.

In addition to handling affairs of the government office, Lin Qingran also steadily promoted the plan to open sea. While welcoming merchants from various countries, he also encouraged the Ming Dynasty merchants to go out bravely, and at the same time officially put the development of the western front of the South China Sea on the agenda.

To the west of the South Ocean is the Southeast Peninsula. Countries such as Annan, Chameng, Siam, Myanmar, etc. are located on the Southeast Peninsula. They can be regarded as mainland countries, and they are mainly farming societies.

To the east of the South Ocean are many islands, such as Ryukyu, Luzon, Sulu, etc., all of which are island countries. The territory is composed of large and small islands, mainly composed of nomadic or fishing society.

Lin Weiran fell in love with the fertile land of the islands of Luzon and planned to build the fertile wasteland into a cotton planting base for the United Shop with the strength of United Scholarship and Guangdong Scholarship.

Although the United Workshop has relatively stable cotton channels, it is thousands of miles away from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Guangdong, and there are great hidden dangers. To completely solve this hidden danger and build your own cotton base is undoubtedly a good solution.

.

In order to promote this goal, he first communicated with the members of the United Business Group. After receiving everyone's support, he contacted Huang Dafu and others to persuade them to join the plan.

After listening to Lin Junran's plan, both Shen Liuye and the new entrants such as Huang Dafu expressed their support.

First, Guangdong is not far from Luzon, and we can know many things in a good way. Luzon is indeed a place suitable for growing cotton; second, Luzon has a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty, and even the Fujianese Xu Chailao once served as Luzon.

The Governor of the State, who has been in charge of the politics, economy, military and culture of the Luzon State for twenty years, has been regarded as a vassal state. Thirdly, the Luzon State has a vast land and sparse population, not strong national strength, and poor weapon equipment.

If a cotton base is built in Luzon and becomes the raw material supply site for the United Shop, it does have extremely high economic value.

That's why, under the leadership of Lin Weiran, the plan to develop the Nanyang East Line was quietly put on the table. But the focus this time was not on trade, but on establishing a cotton production base.

Big people have plans for big people, and small people also have plans for small people.

Li Jiu is a refugee who fled famine in Guangxi. He has a few thin fields at home and can barely make a living. He usually keeps this meal, but he doesn't necessarily have any oily fishy years, and his clothes are also tattered.

However, living in this era, it is a very happy thing to be alive. However, the flood in summer caused him to be unable to survive in the village, so he fled to Bobai County with his wife and children.

Bobai County could not tolerate these victims at all. After some weighing, he followed several fellow villagers instead of going north to Yulinzhou or Wuzhou Prefecture, but went directly to the emerging Leizhou City.

After arriving in Leizhou City, there was a place dedicated to resettling their victims, and their refugees were relieved by the yamen.

Not only did Li Jiu and others live in a place, but each of them also got a certain amount of cloth and even ate delicious seafood porridge. Their life was better than that of him in the village.

Then, he did not want to live separately from his wife and children, so he agreed to exchange three months of work points for a small single-bedroom apartment. The family of four also had a place to shelter from the wind and rain here in the east of the city.

As the disaster was alleviated, and he was free to help people build houses and do some manual work with his wife, the family gradually gained some savings, and returning home was naturally put on the agenda.

Last month, he went to Leizhou City to buy the seeds of the valley for next spring plowing next year and some essential items, and planned to bring these things back to Bobai County.

Today is a very festive day. He has officially completed the contract for three months and will not have to go to the construction site to build a house tomorrow. He has finally "restored" to a free person.

But he had just left the construction site, but a fellow villager chased him from behind and asked, "Yubajiu, wait for me, how are you thinking about what you said to you!"

"I want to go back to my hometown!"

Li Jiu gave a very clear answer, which was to leave without hesitation. Over the years, he has suffered a lot of such troubles, but he has not changed his determination to return to his hometown.

In his opinion, no matter how good this place is, the village is their hometown. Although he cannot change the ideas of other villagers, he has not changed this, not to mention that his uncle has returned, which is a good thing
