"Eldest brother, second brother, you have to drink this fish soup while it's hot, otherwise it will smell fishy." After Li Shu finished cooking her father, she looked at her eldest and second brothers attentively, and filled a bowl for each of them with her own hands.
Fish soup.
"Sister, didn't you just say that the Folangji Artillery and the Red-haired Barbarian 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 didn't expect that it would be their turn so soon.
"It's yours, but this is too stingy. When my eldest and second brothers were young, they always said they would pick the stars and the moon and give them to me. 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 brothers in a sweet voice.
"Sister, you know the situation of our family. We are not separated. The old man is in charge of all the family business. My eldest brother, I haven't saved much private money. I spent 8,000 taels of silver to support my brother-in-law's anti-Japanese cause.
, In addition, I have two drug stores in Hangzhou and a grain store in Shaoxing, and they all support my brother-in-law's anti-Japanese cause."
The eldest brother surrendered directly. As he said, the family business was controlled by the wealthy Mr. Li. Although they were given some shops, they were all pocket money and the quantity was limited. The eldest brother was bleeding a lot.
"Like my elder brother, I also spent 8,000 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 blessing ships in the south, both of which can carry
The large fortune ship with two to three hundred people has not made a single trip on the waterway, so we will all fund it for my brother-in-law to fight against the Japanese." The second brother also surrendered immediately, and he also suffered a lot of bleeding.
"Big brother and second brother are so nice." 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.
Calculate the gains.
My father-in-law provided support: ten large blessing ships, five small and medium-sized blessing ships, four to five hundred tall northern horses, one hundred thousand stones of grain and grass, ten thousand pieces of cloth, five thousand sets of quilts, and one thousand linoleum tents.
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 there are 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 to build 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, bedding, linoleum tents, and medicinal materials. Zhejiang Army almost doesn't have to worry about the logistics.
My father-in-law's stinky face is getting cuter and cuter every time I look at it. It wouldn't be a big deal if he was ten times, a million, or a million times stinkier.
Li Shu narrowed her eyes proudly and winked at Zhu Pingan, who couldn't help but give Li Shu a thumbs up.
"Thank you Lord Taishan, thank you eldest brother, thank you second brother. With your support, I am more confident. I will clear up the Japanese invasion of Zhejiang as soon as possible and restore peace to the people." Zhu Ping'an benefited greatly from 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.
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 with all her heart.
You must treat my Shu'er well. If you dare to let down 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, the sea of fire, or rush into the Golden Palace, I still want to make you look good!
"
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Li Shu said angrily.
"Lord Taishan, don't worry. 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 will kill myself to thank the world without your intervention."
If you violate even a single word, I will be struck by five thunderbolts from the sky. It will not be good."
Zhu Pingan swore.
But before the oath was finished, Li Shu blocked her mouth and said, "I believe it, there is no need to swear it."
Rich Man Li and others were fed a handful of dog food at the table.
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 come and gone in the past three years and became familiar with the official business. After turning through a volume, he heard the official knocking on the door and announcing that Yu Dayou, the counselor of the Taizhou Prefecture in Ningbo, came to see him.
Yu Dayou's station 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 hurry up, it will take two or three hours to change horses.
It's 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 yamen officer, "Please come quickly. General Yu will be coming from Zhenhai before dawn. You can go to the stove to get a breakfast and let General Yu eat and talk."
"
Soon, the tall and burly Yu Dayou arrived, dressed in regular clothes. As soon as he entered the door, he clasped his fists and greeted Zhu Pingan, "General Yu Dayou greets Zhu Butang."
"General Yu, no need to be polite. We are old acquaintances. No need to be more polite." Zhu Pingan stepped forward to help Yu Dayou, "Zhenhai is more than two hundred miles away. General Yu was on his way before dawn. It was a hard journey."
Yu Dayou shook his head and said frankly, "Thank you Zhu Butang. It's not hard, not hard at all. In fact, the general didn't come from Zhenhai today. He had already arrived in Shaoxing yesterday. It was just the chief envoy at that time.
, the three envoys and the capital commander have not yet come to visit Zhu Butang, so I will not dare to rush to the front. After the three envoys have paid their respects to Zhu Butang, Master Taishan from Zhu Butang has arrived again, so I will not disturb him.
, I just came to see Zhu Butang today."
Just then, 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.
"Master, haven't you had breakfast yet? Then I'll wait outside." When Yu Dayou saw the messenger bringing breakfast at this time, he thought Zhu Pingan hadn't had breakfast yet, so he got up and prepared to go outside.
I'm waiting 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 asked for.
Let you talk while eating." The Yamen servant couldn't help but said after hearing this.
Yu Dayou didn't expect that this breakfast meal was specially prepared for him by Zhu Ping'an. He had often met with superior officials in recent years and was often treated coldly. He had never received such attention before, and he couldn't help but be moved.
