Chapter 175 Old Man Feng is here

Zhu Hongsan saw Qian San busy. He really didn't expect that building a sea boat would be so troublesome. It would require hundreds of people to be busy, such as tung oil, iron nails, hemp ropes, wooden boards, etc. This was the material that the Yan Pirates got by snatching several villages by the sea. Or it would take two months to dry the wooden boards.

Zhu Hongsan saw some people actually making shell powder. Zhu Hongsan asked, "Why do you still need this?"

Liu Dali said on the side: "They said they should use oyster shells and tung oil to make caulks to prevent water leakage."

Zhu Hongsan turned around and saw that there were dozens of iron nails. He couldn't help but sigh: It seems that the navy is a reflection of a country's strength at any time. This thing cannot be taken at all, it's not possible, it's not possible.

This is like the aircraft carriers in later generations. You can build 100,000 tons of oil tankers, but you can't build tens of thousands of tons of aircraft carriers because your country's overall strength is not enough. In this time and space, there seem to be only a few countries that can build thousands of tons of warships. Zhu Hongsan is very glad that the Ming Dynasty is also the same.

Zhu Hongsan said: "Dali, I'll give Qian San this place to you. You have to satisfy him whatever he needs. And you go back and experiment with the skeleton of eight hundred materials. The bigger the better, do you know?"

Liu Dali said: "Master, don't worry, we have found the trick this time, and I believe we will be able to experiment with the skeleton of the new ship soon."

Zhu Hongsan nodded and went out to go home. He has been out for nearly ten days and should go home to spend time with his wife and children.

Zhu Hongsan decided not to be so tired in the future and let these craftsmen do it in the future. It has been twenty years since he came to this era. He had to rest well before the Qing Dynasty could reach his doorstep.

After returning home, Zhu Hongsan started his life as a pig breeder again. He took turns to his wives' rooms every day, and lived a ten-day peaceful life.

On September 20, 17th year of Chongzhen, our new governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Lord Feng finally came to Dongguan County.

Lord Feng is due to the face of Zhu Hongsan, the King of Chu. Otherwise, the countryside places were from governors and other officials.

Twenty miles away from the county town, Mr. Feng sent people to inform him, asking Feng Ziyong to prepare the post station and Feng Manufacturing Station wanted to rest.

The magistrate of Fengda County came naturally to welcome him. Feng Ziyong sent a letter to Zhu Hongsan of Zhujiazhuang and left the city to greet him.

After the messenger arrived at Zhujiazhuang, Zhu Hongsan looked at Feng Ziyong's letter and said, "This old guy has finally arrived. It's almost October, how much is it delayed."

Ma Xiaofang said beside him: "Prince, don't blame your uncle, he is old after all."

Zhu Hongsan nodded and sent someone to inform Ma Mingyuan and Ma Jiyuan, and went out with him to greet his immediate boss.

Zhu Hongsan brought the Ma family and his family to outside the north gate of Dongguan County. After waiting for half an hour, Old Man Feng's convoy appeared on the horizon.

Zhu Hongsan saw that, good guy, this convoy is several miles long. Zhu Hongsan remembered that when he left Nanxiong Mansion, he left them with less than a thousand people. Why are there so many people, almost two thousand people?

After a long time, the convoy arrived at the gate of the county town. Ma Jiyuan brought the Ma family members to a carriage and knelt down and said, "Welcome uncle to Guangdong!"

Feng Ziyong helped Old Man Feng out of the carriage and walked out of the carriage. Old Man Feng helped the two brothers of the Ma family up and said, "Ziming, Zhongming, I haven't seen each other for many years. Get up quickly."

Erma stood up and introduced the third generation of the Ma family to Old Man Feng.

Old Man Feng saw Zhu Hongsan standing beside him and said, "Is King Chu good?"

Zhu Hongsan bowed and said, "Thank you, my uncle, for your concern."

The prefects, garrisons and commanders from all over Guangdong who came with Feng Ruoshu didn't know that the newly enfeoffed King of Chu was actually a relative of Feng Jiantai. It seemed that the relationship was not far away, so they could not help but look at Zhu Hongsan a few more times.

Zhu Hongsan didn't lean forward either. At this time, civil officials came forward to praise their bad feet, and even military generals were not reliable, let alone a down-and-out prince like Zhu Hongsan who lost his fief.

Listening to the flattery of the civil servants, Zhu Hongsan felt that it was really meaningless. He pulled Ma Shaoguang over and told him that he would visit Feng Ruoshu alone in the evening, and then came to the back of the convoy to pick up his wives.

Behind Zhu Hongsan saw the princess Zhu Mai, Yan Wan'er, Bian Yujing and Qian Yuting. Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "My ladies, I'm home, I'll go home to sleep with the master."

Zhu Mai smiled and said, "Don't you think of us?"

Zhu Hongsan said: "Of course I thought about it, I couldn't sleep."

Bian Yujing said, "Sister, don't listen to his sweet words, I don't know that girl is thinking about."

Zhu Hongsan saw Qian Yuting beside him, stepped forward and held his hand and asked, "Sister Qian, do you think of brother?"

Qian Yuting's face turned red and she whispered: "I've thought about it."

Zhu Hongsan laughed loudly and asked someone to take several wives to go home with him.

When they arrived at the entrance of Zhujiazhuang, the pirates also came out to greet their families. For a while, there were crowds of people outside the village.

When Bian Yujing came out and saw that Zhujiazhuang was very large, he asked curiously: "Master, is this big village our home?"

Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "Yes, this is what I built from scratch in the past year, Master."

Bian Yujing used to hear Zhu Hongsan brag about how powerful he is, but he didn't expect that he really has two tricks. Bian Yujing looked around, then looked at the dark factory area in the distance, and asked, "My husband, how many people are there in this large area."

Zhu Hongsan said proudly: "There are about 100,000 people working for you."

Bian Yujing was so impressed this time that he was different from Zhu Mai and the others. Zhu Mai and the others were just ordinary women from the Ming Dynasty and had no interest in these civil affairs and industry.

Bian Yujing used to appear in Huajie and Liuxiang, and she saw officials at all levels every day. But she knew how difficult it would be to create such a big family business out of nothing.

Who doesn't love such a hero? Bian Yujing's eyes became more tender when he looked at Zhu Hongsan.

After receiving the signal from Bian Yujing, Zhu Hongsan was in a good mood. His woman recognized him and made Zhu Hongsan feel full of confidence. Zhu Hongsan is now like a rich local rich man, and all his property is hopeless to be seen. When Zhu Hongsan saw Bian Yujing like this, he wanted to immediately take Bian Yujing to the South China Sea Guard to see his army.

But thinking that the other wives could not ignore them, Zhu Hongsan said patiently: "Everyone should go home with me, the eldest lady is waiting for everyone at home."

The four ladies and Zhu Hongsan walked into the Zhu Mansion together. At the door of the lobby, they saw Ma Xiaofang greeting him with a few wives and concubines.

Ma Xiaofang saw Zhu Xiao’s slightly protruding belly and eyelids twitching, but for the sake of her son, she had to pretend to be smiling.

Ma Xiaofang smiled and said, "Dear sisters, I have been waiting here for a long time. Prince, let's introduce it."

Zhu Hongsan's face turned red, coughed, and said to the princess and the other two, "This is my original wife, next to her is Ma Ruyan, and the other side is the Dong sisters, and the princess Zhu Youjia, Zhang and Bai are behind her."

After all, Princess Zhu Mai was well educated and took the lead in coming forward to pay tribute to all the sisters.

Zhu Hongsan continued, "Xiaofang, this is the princess Zhu Mai, Yan Wan'er, Bian Yujing and Bian, and the last one is Qian Yuting."

Ma Xiaofang smiled and said, "Sisters, let's go into the house and sit down. The yard is ready and the servants are all available. Let's wait for everyone to move in later."

When everyone entered the house and sat down, Ma Xiaofang said, "Prince, you are the head of the family, please say a few words first."

Zhu Hongsan said: "Everyone is my wife, I love you very much. I hope everyone will live in harmony in the future and have a few more children for me. I, Zhu Hongsan and three generations, said before my mother died that I would give me a few more sons. This depends on everyone's efforts."

All the eleven wives in the room blushed after these words.

Zhu Hongsan laughed and said, "Xiaofang, you can set a schedule in the future and how to sleep every night. How do you say that every lady has to take turns a few times a month, hehehe!!!"

Ma Xiaofang spat and said, "You can't be a little polite when you've just entered the house. Tonight is a good day. The prince will do the work for the four sisters."

When Ma Xiaofang mentioned it, Zhu Hongsan slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot if my wife doesn't say it. I will celebrate with the four ladies tonight. I promised them that they don't need to enter the back door, but all of them enter the front door."

Now Zhu Hongsan has the final say at home. Ma Jiyuan's stinky old ninth house are all holding stinky feet in the county town, so naturally no one jumped out and said that Zhu Hongsan violated etiquette. Ma Xiaofang was a little unhappy but didn't dare to show it. She also pretended to be generous and prepared a new house for the four new ladies.
