Just as Qi Yu guessed, there is indeed a kiln in this place.
The local aborigines basically rely on kiln art to make a living. It has been passed down for hundreds of years and has been passed down from generation to generation. It can be regarded as a long-standing tradition.
However, their craft has some special characteristics, which are both rarely heard of and rarely seen.
What's going on?
According to the old patriarch Ding Liuzhi, their ancestors have been building temples for generations. In the eyes of the people, this is a kind of good deeds that can accumulate blessings for future generations.
Bodhisattva bless you.
In fact, if we go into detail, their craft covers a wide range of things and can be said to be all-encompassing. Whether it is firing green bricks and glazed tiles, or outlining ceramic paintings, everything is within its scope.
Although this craft is good, its application is very narrow. In addition, Guangdong Province is located in a deserted area. The original Buddhist culture has long declined, and there is basically not much business. Therefore, when they have no choice but to live, they have to
Relying on fishing to supplement family needs.
The old patriarch also said that if it weren't for his attachment to his homeland, he would have wanted to move his family and consider finding another way to make a living elsewhere.
Want to leave this place?
Very good!
Why not follow me directly to Qiongzhou, where we are in urgent need of experienced old potters!
And, the more, the merrier!
Therefore, Qi Yu directly revealed his identity as the prefect and sincerely extended the invitation. At the same time, he also emphasized that he would take care of all household registration matters and ensure that no one would dare to embarrass them.
What?
Going to Qiongzhou?
Ding Liuzhi looked at Qi Dalang, who was shirtless and looking like he was fleeing, and then shook his head decisively, as if to say: How dare a person like you call yourself a prefect?
Who believes it?
Don’t believe it? It doesn’t matter!
Let's see how I, Mr. Qi, can persuade you with his sharp tongue.
So, Qi Yu said as if it was serious: "Mr. Ding didn't know something. Originally, I personally led thousands of troops here to encircle and suppress the fake Japanese pirates, but unexpectedly, an accident happened. Early this morning, I was
I was fighting with them in this sea area. Unexpectedly, the Sea Dragon King suddenly rose up and actually started to stir up the dragon to absorb water. As a result, a hurricane blew... Just like that, I unfortunately ended up here..."
"real or fake?"
"Of course it's true. If you still don't believe it, you can go to the beach and see for yourself. My three artillery pieces are still stranded on the beach!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was really stunned.
Not long ago, there was indeed the sound of artillery fire, and a dragon did appear on the sea sucking water...
Could it be that he was telling the truth?
Facts have proved that simple people are easy to deceive, even if it is a white lie, they do not delve too deeply into it.
Yes, after Ding Liuzhi verified the existence of the artillery, the tribesmen quickly believed it.
Immediately afterwards, the old clan leader immediately summoned his clan members to kowtow to Master Qi, expressing his willingness to lead the whole clan to follow Qiongzhou to be driven by the magistrate's cattle and horses.
So decisive!
of course!
Mr. Qi has said that he wants to build a grand official kiln on the border of Qiongzhou, and the Ding family happens to be the best choice for the kiln owner.
How could we miss such a good opportunity?
Seeing someone joining him, Qi Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly supported the Ding family who wanted to surrender.
Afterwards, he immediately ordered to pack his luggage and rush to Qiongzhou immediately.
Going in a hurry!
Well, I really don’t dare to delay.
This place is too close to King Yong's hometown, so it is definitely not suitable to stay for a long time. It is better to leave as soon as possible.
Regarding this, the Ding Liuzhi family had no objection and expressed their willingness to accept the arrangement.
Then, Qi Yu hurriedly borrowed a tattered peasant shirt from them and wore it to protect his privacy.
Leng Qing directed the young men to carry the three artillery pieces and properly placed them on the fishing boat.
Done.
Qi Yu sighed: The merits of this trip are complete, and we can finally return home in triumph.
After careful calculation, this operation was a huge harvest. Not only did they steal firearms, they also seized three artillery pieces. Of course, the most surprising thing is the harvest of talents, that is, those who know how to make guns.
Those two prisoners and the current potters are special talents that are rare to find.
After everything was settled, the group drove a dozen fishing boats and set off for Qiongzhou in a mighty manner.
…
A few days later, Qiongzhou arrived.
As soon as Qi Yu got off the ship, he met Peng Wenchang who was summoning the government officials to get ready for departure.
He has now received the news from the Shi brothers, saying that Master Qi is currently dealing with King Yong's warship, and may be trapped at sea at the moment and is in urgent need of rescue.
The situation is extremely urgent!
Unexpectedly, Mr. Qi has now returned safe and sound.
Therefore, as soon as they met, Master Peng burst into tears and said, "Shaocheng, you are finally back safely..."
Although these words were spoken calmly, the tone was full of sincerity, and Qi Yu felt warm in his heart when he heard it.
"Haha, Master Peng is worried. I have nothing to do. I just went out to harvest some grass and grain. Unexpectedly, I encountered a strong wind on the way. In the end, I had to make a fuss. Generally speaking, there was no danger." Qi Yu smiled humorously.
road.
Hearing this, Peng Wenchang loosened the wrinkles on his forehead and laughed loudly: "As long as it's okay! It's okay as long as it's okay!"
"..."
The old man and the young man hugged each other and smiled, and the communication was full of sincerity.
After that, Peng Wenchang asked Qi Yu to rest first, and left it to him to make arrangements for the subsequent matters, such as the disposal of the three artillery pieces and the placement of the Ding family members, etc.
These things are very important and cannot be omitted at all. However, it is difficult for Master Peng who is very thoughtful.
…
Let's talk about Qi Yu. After he returned to the official residence, he washed up first, then put on a simple and elegant robe, and finally plunged into the study to write the above table and a letter home.
Write something?
Yes.
On the way back, Leng Qing formally proposed that after arriving in Qiongzhou, she would immediately take Xiao Yunyan back to Beijing to resume his duties.
From her standpoint, this is the real deal.
After delaying for so long, it was finally time for her to give an explanation to the emperor.
This time, Qi Yu didn't try to stay.
What should be used has already been used. Keeping her here is just a waste of food. It is better to let her go.
Is this true?
Now that I'm back in Beijing, let her help me deliver two letters!
good!
In the above table to the emperor, Qi Yu highlighted a series of heinous crimes committed by King Yong.
For example, how he colluded with foreigners to raise private armed forces, how he kept fake Japanese in captivity to bring harm to one party, how he preyed on the common people to plunder the people's fat, and how he separated one party to strengthen its strength...
Qi Dalang kept all these large shit basins on the ground and held them firmly on King Yong's head.
Finally, he briefly took over the administration of his own Qiongzhou officials and simply said that the rebellion in Qiongnan had been put down and the disaster relief was completely appropriate. Please don't worry about this, your Majesty.
As a result, the entire focus of this list is on targeting Yong Wang.
Then how would Leng Qing respond to the emperor?
Will it be the same as mine?
should be!
Qi Yu guessed that Leng Qing would never say anything good about King Yong. Just imagine, she almost died under his cannon fire, how could she not tell a small story about King Yong? You know, beautiful women are the most beautiful.
Grudgeful.
Then, what will the emperor do after learning about this matter?
Qi Yu estimated that most of the time the Holy Emperor would ask Governor Lu to send troops to clear up or hold people accountable, taking this opportunity to eradicate his dissidents.
This is very possible.
Long live the Lord even spared the hard-working and meritorious King Yan, so how could he be kind to the more distant King Yong? Now that the evidence is conclusive, he happened to be standing on the moral high ground, how could he kill without pain?
What should we do if the civil servants are gibbering?
It doesn't matter, I will write another letter to Yin Jun later and ask him to fire more guns to suppress the arrogance of the civil servants.
Such a three-pronged approach should be enough, right?
