Zhaojiazhuang, in the patriarch's house.

"Mr. Marquis!"

"Marty!!"

"Brother Qiang, hehe!"

Tietou, Zhuzi, and Tieniu, three young girls who grew up on the dock together, looked at Jia Qiang with a smile on his face and greeted him.

Jia Qiang laughed, looked at Tietou, and Zhuzi said, "Now it's almost as dark as my brother-in-law, are you still living on the boat?"

The two of them were joking and Tie Niu Weng laughed and said, "Brother Qiang, these two guys have been in the water since they were young. Later, they followed the boat and felt that the boat was more enjoyable than the ground. Isn't it satisfying now?"

Jia Qiang nodded and smiled, "You should be careful. The world is dangerous and put yourself first."

Tietou said: "Although we can't protect the marquis, now we have become a disciple of Langli Baitiao, and learn how to do it on and under water, and we can also work hard for the marquis!"

"White strips in the waves, Zhang Shun?"

Jia Qiang remembered the people Li Jing and Li Gui contacted when he was in Yangzhou. It was amazing that water kung fu was the only one in the world.

However, he had no fleet in his hands at that time, so he did not recruit him.

Li Jing smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang is my father visiting several times, and Aunt Sun is here, so I was moved. But now it seems that he is not on the canal..."

“Where did you go?”

Jia Qiangqi said that such a "water master" talent cannot be let go.

Tietou smiled and said, "Master heard that our fleet will go to sea in the future. When the sea is showing off, he went to sea alone first, saying that he had to first explore the stubborn methods on the sea. His white stripes in the waves can not only be used on rivers, but also on seas!"

Jia Qiang was overjoyed when he heard this, "Okay! You just need to have such ambition! Although I have not left the sea, I also know that the sea is completely different from the big rivers. Compared with the boundless sea, rivers are not even small ponds. So don't be complacent, learn to be a general at sea in the future!"

Although he knew it was a joke, he was still very happy from Jia Qiang's mouth, Tietou and Zhuzi.

It is said that auspicious words are expensive, and it can be true if you can't say them!

Jia Qiang asked Li Jing, "Are the pigs and sheep prepared by Zhaojiazhuang ready?"

This time, more than a hundred embroidered guards and the "buddy" of the Delin were returned with the ship.

Today I will reward the three armies and the food will not be shabby.

Li Jing smiled and said, "Not only Zhaojiazhuang, but also sent people to Hucheng to buy a lot. Today, pigs and sheep are enough, and Hucheng famous wine Laobai is enough!"

Jia Qiang laughed, nodded, and said to Tietou, Zhuzi: "Take two delicious dishes tonight."

Behind the three of them, Ding Chao, the son of Ding Hao, the leader of the Cao Gang, was always happy, but he didn't come forward to disturb the gathering of old friends. Jia Qiang looked over and asked with a smile: "Ding Chao, do things in my Delin, or do things in your Cao Gang?"

Ding Chao was also very happy and said with a smile: "There are too many uncles in the Cao Gang. Although I am the young leader of the Cao Gang, I have to look at the faces of the old guys. The Delin is much more happy, and the matter is done as you say, and there are not so many things to pull the back. However, the Delin fleet is developing a little too fast. Adding a ship in three to five days will add a group of people. There are many flag owners and even helmsmen in the Cao Gang, who are telling the old man that the Delin is digging the roots of the Cao Gang and going to start a war..."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "War is started? So, the Cao Gang sent someone to burn the shipyard of the Hou, sent someone to kidnap the family of the seaship craftsman, and attack the old ship craftsman? Ding Chao, you pass on the message to you. If he doesn't calculate this clearly for the Hou, the Cao Gang would not want to start a war, and the embroidered guards would help you."

Ding Chao's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Mr. Marquis, don't get me wrong. This is definitely not what my old man did! It's some people inside the Cao Gang who don't want to see Marquis develop shipping, so that's why..."

In the confrontation between the world, the embroidered wards are often involved, and whether or not the basic law is explained? How can this be stubborn?

Jia Qiang was not angry either. Before Ding Chao finished speaking, he just smiled and shook his head, saying, "Ding Chao, no fool. Since I could have predicted in advance that someone would attack the shipyard, he would attack the ship craftsman, and let the Cao Gang killer die and return without success, would he not know who the enemy is? This matter is understood by the Cao Gang's position, after all, it is a fundamental interest dispute. But I will warn you again that the strategy of going to sea is the fundamental national policy of Dayan for a hundred years. Whoever dares to make trouble will be the mortal enemy of the court, and the irreconcilable enemy of life and death."

It is not the time to turn against the Cao Gang. The governors of the three major rivers in the south, north and east have not yet been sorted out, and the more than 100,000 river camp troops have not yet been fully grasped.

The soldiers and soldiers along more than 20 cities along the canal are still being replaced...

After everything was sorted out in an orderly manner, the life and death of the Cao Gang were actually just in the words of the court.

What the Ding family’s father and son regret most now is probably the fact that after being threatened by Jia Qiang, the Delin fleet under Jia Qiang was allowed to grow.

This has greatly reduced the confidence of the Cao Gang to threaten the court...

Ding Chao is a very smart person. He looked at Jia Qiang and smiled bitterly, saying, "Marty, you won't be able to kill them all?"

Jia Qiang frowned and said, "What are you going to kill? I have never told anyone that I promised you father and son that they would only train troops and crew on the canal. The future road is on the sea and will not compete with the Cao Gang for that bite. Did I break my promise? And you, let you take the fleet, did I break my promise? In the future, the Delin will go to sea, and your Ding family will go to sea. The vastness of the four seas is larger than the ten hundred big swallows. Can this marquis still occupy it?

Your Ding family agreed to this marquis and said, "What do you want to find some good people who build sea boats for me? What's the result? For you, the people who are untrustworthy are still reluctant to lie on this canal and eat delicious food and drink, and are unwilling to take any risks at sea. Would you rather take the money to feed the river governor and officials of various prefectures and counties than build sea boats for sea. The corrupt and stubborn people dare to call themselves heroes?"

Ding Chao was powerless to explain: "The Cao Gang has hundreds of thousands of gangs, so it is not enough to change the shipping line if it is changed. The crew members are easy to say, but those hard-working canal workers on the shore are the big ones..."

Jia Qiang sneered: "Doesn't there be no need for a canal laborer in the sea transportation? I tell you that the demand will only be more. You are just worried that you can't dominate this canal by then. Okay, today, you can't drink a celebration wine, and you can't do such a thing. Let's talk about it again. Ding Chao, do you know why this Hou knew the actions of the Cao Gang but did not kill him?"

Ding Chao's face was a little pale, shook his head, Jia Qiang smiled, patted his shoulder, and said, "Because you were taking the Delin fleet with your heart, and there has not been an accident. Our ship has not been able to take the water for no reason, run into the reef, or run into the trap. No one has fallen into the water for no reason. I think you have been under a lot of pressure in this. You are a smart person who does practical things, so I will give you this decent!"

When Ding Chao heard this, he exhaled and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Marquis, who is a smart person? He is just a gang in the end, how can he be qualified to fight with the court and fight with the Marquis? However, there are not many things that can be done. Even within the Cao Gang, my father cannot say anything. Some people below... The Marquis said just now, the villain will tell my father truthfully. In fact, as the government affairs in the capital are becoming more and more stable day by day, the governor of the river and the generals of the Heying camp are constantly changing, and the Cao Gang will understand how to go in the future."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "That's right. Don't be afraid to go forward. At the end of the Yangtze River, isn't it going to sea? You're in Huaiyin now? Go and tell him that this marquis is waiting for him in Yangzhou. If you have great wealth and honor, you can share it with the Ding family, which can be passed down forever."

Ding Chaoyuan was also an active person. When he heard this, his eyes lit up. He knew that after a big stick, there would be sweet dates, one hit and one pull. It was the true meaning of the power of the emperor. He smiled and said with apologies: "Marty, I wonder what kind of wealth is?"

Jia Qiang laughed and scolded: "You have to tell me about this, you can't tell me. Okay, let's not talk about these things tonight. Except for the rotating boatman, I will let go of the drinks. I will go to Jiangnan tomorrow!"

...

The noise of the front yard was boiling and filled with sky came into the inner house. After all, Zhaojiazhuang was just a farmhouse, without many courtyards, which could block the sound.

The sisters of the Jia family were also eating the pot. When they heard the howls of wolves outside, Feng Jie'er couldn't help but laugh: "It's hard for Brother Qiang to be so chaotic. If it were Baoyu, he wouldn't be able to get involved with people like that outside."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Brother Qiang is not very willing to interact with those who are officials and slaughter. He gets along very badly with those people. Most of them are enemies and have no friends. Most of the people outside are soldiers and generals, and they are straightforward."

Xiangyun was picking up a chopstick and putting her stomach in her mouth. She chewed it with a big mouthful. She was so happy that she smiled. After hearing this, she said in a vague way: "Everyone is a dog slaughterer, but most of the unfaithful ones are scholars!"

Daiyu sneered and said, "How have you ever done bad things in the market? Brother Qiang said to me that good and evil are in a thought. People in the world are more tolerant of evil than good people. The evil people have done bad things for most of their lives, and when they are enlightened, they put down their butcher knife, repent and reform, and become Buddhas. And good people have done good deeds for the rest of their lives, and when they do something bad, they will lose their wisdom for the rest of their lives."

Feng Jie'er, who didn't read, also understood this and sneered and said, "This is reasonable, and this world is unfair. A virgin who loses his integrity is worse than an old prostitute to be a good person!"

The sisters were all embarrassed. Sure enough, this kind of thing is not embarrassing, but the embarrassing ones are others.

I have been so obscene that I have no room for anything…

Daiyu spat and said, "My sister-in-law at this table, what are you talking nonsense!"

Feng Jie'er sighed and said nothing, and picked up the chopsticks and ate the cabbage.

Daiyu was both angry and funny. She looked at Tanchun. Tanchun gritted her teeth, picked up the wine cup and said to Fengjie, "Sister Feng, today I shouldn't be unstoppable, don't worry about it."

Feng Jie'er was "shocked" and was about to speak, Daiyu reminded him: "You girl Feng, you'll almost leave your donkey."

Xiangyun and Baoqin were smirking in her belly. Feng Jie'er could only press her beautiful words, and after a glass of Tanchun, she drank it all.

Just then, an old lady came in with several wooden boards.

After Tanchun glanced at him, he immediately shouted in surprise: "Ah! It's an inscription!"

The woman in the Zhao family smiled and said, "At this time, the man who sent someone to copy the calligraphy, said that it was given to the girls."

Tanchun, Xiangyun, Keqing and others went to see it, and it was indeed almost the same as the inscription on the ancestral tomb of Dongge Village, and they were all very happy.

Daiyu smiled and said, "This incident has not been in vain."

He nodded to Ping'er again, and Ping'er hurriedly took the red seal prepared for Zhao Hu's family in advance and gave it to the Zhao woman.

At this point, there was nothing to say overnight.

The next morning, everyone boarded the ship again and headed south along Henan.
