When the female escorts heard the sound of the whistle, the rhythm of the drumming suddenly increased by three points, and the strength also increased by a few points.
All of a sudden, the sound of drums, whistles and the shouts of the people watching outside the pier were all heard, deafening!
The atmosphere has also reached its peak.
It wasn't until the Taiping went down the river and disappeared from sight that the female escorts stopped beating the drums and the male escorts lowered their saluting arms.
"Hope them all goes well!"
Jin Feng sent blessings to the shadow of the Taiping, then waved down and took the Ninth Princess away from the wooden platform.
I originally wanted to ask Xiaoyu why he suddenly changed the process to let him speak, but Xiaoyu didn't know whether it was because of a guilty conscience or something else, so he didn't follow, and Jin Feng didn't bother to ask anymore.
He turned to Iron Hammer and asked, "By the way, where are the two foreign pirates that I brought back from the East China Sea?"
"Foreign pirates?" Tie Hammer was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered who the foreign pirates Jin Feng was talking about: "Sir, I remember asking them to go to the ship to add coal to the boiler. Are they still on the Zhenyuan No. 2?
Yes, I don’t know either, I have to ask.”
"Then go and ask," Jin Feng said: "No matter where they are, bring them to me as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Tie Zhui saw that Jin Feng was in a hurry, so he turned around and ran out.
"Husband, why do you suddenly think of looking for Yang?
Are you a pirate?" Ninth Princess asked.
"My understanding of the sea is based on what the experts say. In fact, I have always been talking about it on paper. General Zheng's navy has almost never sailed far, and has no experience in long voyages."
Jin Feng said: "These two foreign pirates should have come from Europe. Since they can travel so far, it means that their navigation knowledge exceeds ours and they know the sea better than us. If we interrogate them, we might be able to learn something.
Danger.
If there is a danger that I don't know about, it's still not too late to send a speedboat to notify the Taiping."
"That's it," Ninth Princess nodded suddenly, then pointed to the canopy next to her: "Then let's go over here and wait for the hammer."
Tie Zhui did not keep the two of them waiting for too long, and no one knew who he went to ask. As soon as Jin Feng and Ninth Princess sat down, he ran back.
Panting, he said: "Sir, the question comes out. These two people are digging coal in Heishui ditch. I have arranged for someone to bring them over."
"Weren't we burning the boiler on Zhenyuan No. 2? Why did we go to Heishui ditch to dig coal again?" Jin Feng asked in confusion.
"Isn't Zhenyuan No. 2 our secret? Let them stay on the ship. We are afraid that they will find out the secrets. Moreover, they have good water skills. We are also afraid that they will dive into the water and escape. We have to send people to keep an eye on the Zhenyuan No. 2 at all times.
To keep them, we have to prepare special cabins for them
The captain of the Zhenyuan No. 2 found it troublesome, so he sent them to Heishui ditch." Tie Zhui explained.
"That's right, I didn't think about it that much at the time." Jin Feng smiled and nodded.
The reason why the pirates were asked to burn the boilers was because it was a laborious task, but Jin Feng did not consider that he would have to send people to guard them and prepare cabins for them, which was indeed not worth the gain.
Relatively speaking, it is indeed more appropriate to lock it in Heishui ditch.
Heishuigou used to be a prison, with cliffs on both sides. As long as the pirates were sent to find a mine and locked up, there would be no place for them to escape.
Heishui ditch is not far from the dock, and it will take a while to bring the pirates here. Jin Feng and the Ninth Princess discussed it and decided to take advantage of the fact that everyone arrived this time to hold a meeting for everyone, so they asked Tie Hammer to inform them.

Chapter 1608 Let her buy (2 / 2)

22 days ago
When he and Princess Ninth walked out of the pier, they found Princess Lu Jie standing by the riverside at the entrance of the pier with her bodyguards, entourage and others.
Perhaps because of the protection of the bodyguards led by Jiang Wenwen, the people did not crowd with them. Jin Feng saw them at a glance when he came out.
Jin Feng and Ninth Princess didn't want to talk too much to Princess Lu Jie right now, so they pretended not to see it and were going to go directly to the conference hall.
As a result, after taking two steps, he saw Jiang Wenwen walking towards him.
Iron Hammer was a little unsure whether to let Jiang Wenwen come over, so he turned to Jin Feng for instructions and saw Jin Feng nodding.
, so there was no obstruction.
"See Your Majesty, I've met Mr. Jin!"
Jiang Wenwen stopped a few steps away from Jin Feng and saluted the two of them.
"Is something wrong?" Jin Feng asked.
"I have something to report to my husband," Jiang Wenwen said: "Yesterday Princess Lu Jie said she wanted to go to the town, so I took her there. Then she bought a lot of things, which she may want to take back to Dongman. I
I would like to ask Your Majesty and Sir if you want them to take you away!"
"What did you buy?" Jin Feng asked.
"I took a note of the list, sir, please take a look at it!" Jiang Wenwen took out a pamphlet from his arms and handed it to Jin Feng with both hands.
Jin Feng thought that Princess Lu Jie would definitely buy some specialties when she came to Sichuan for the first time, so she didn't pay much attention to it. However, after opening the booklet, she discovered that it was filled with names of items, covering more than ten pages.
This was written with a pencil, not a brush.
These dozen pages record at least hundreds of items.
Jin Feng took a closer look and found that among these items there were only a handful of Sichuan and Sichuan specialties and rouge gouache, while the rest were farm tools, tools and fabrics from North Street.
"Did she come to our place to buy goods?" Jin Feng said, dumbfounded: "There are so many things, I'm afraid a carriage can't even pull them, right?"
"It is true that a carriage cannot be pulled," Jiang Wenwen said, "so Princess Lu Jie
She wants me to buy some carriages for her, but I haven't agreed yet. I want to ask the gentleman for permission. If the gentleman doesn't agree with her leaving with these things, I will just withhold the things."
Jin Feng read the brochure carefully again, shook his head and said: "No need to hold it, buy her a carriage and let her take it away."
"Yes!" Jiang Wenwen nodded and turned to leave.
When Jiang Wenwen walked away, the Ninth Princess frowned and said: "Husband, I just took a look and found that almost all the things she bought were farm tools and fabrics. She clearly wants to learn our craftsmanship secretly, why should she be dragged away?
"
"These things have no technical content, and they are publicly sold. Anyone can sell them. If Lu Jie really wants it, even if we don't let her take it away, she can just ask Seisaku to sell it to a merchant in other places.
Yes, it's just one more step.
She will definitely get it anyway, so why not sell it to her generously?"
Jin Feng said: "Actually, most of the things she bought were agricultural tools, and the Eastern Barbarians mainly focus on grazing, so they wouldn't be able to use them if they were bought back.
She took the initiative to come to Jinchuan, probably because she wanted to see our strength. Now let her buy something to study, maybe it will be of some help to your subsequent negotiations."
"It makes sense," Ninth Princess nodded: "It depends on how long she can hold on and take the initiative to ask for negotiations."
