Chapter 474 Imperial Sword
Shen Yueyao wanted to see how good these people's kung fu were.
Han Yunzheng smiled and said, "It's a good opportunity to show it to everyone."
Since we want to see everyone's kung fu, naturally we also want to see how well they perform on the water or on the boat.
They then went to a river outside the city. Shen Yueyao arranged a boat for them to demonstrate their kung fu and learn from each other.
These people formed two teams and used two boats to compete with each other.
After Shen Yueyao saw everyone's diving skills and their ability to fight underwater and on the boat, she nodded secretly at their skills and kung fu.
After two quarters of an hour, Shen Yueyao asked everyone to stop.
Shen Yueyao nodded and said, “Everyone is very good, and their kung fu is also good.”
"But I also had someone forge a batch of weapons, including hidden weapons, hidden arrows, swords, guns, and other tools. These will be placed on the ship, so everyone can use them if needed."
These are backup weapons.
Generally speaking, these water escorts have their own weapons that they are good at using. It is more convenient to use the weapons they carry with them, and the spare weapons on the ship are only kept for use.
In fact, with Su Xueyi and Shen Yueyao's skills, they were not afraid of pirates along the way.
But Shen Yueyao just wanted to train a group of real water escorts so that ships transporting goods could safely reach Hezhou from the capital.
If you transport anything from Hezhou by water with the protection of escorts, it can reach the capital safely.
So it’s time to prepare weapons.
Everyone was excited to hear Shen Yueyao acknowledge them, but the training they had received made them remain silent.
In fact, some of them grew up on boats, catching fish and rowing boats to make a living.
He may have some skills, but you can't say he knows kung fu.
Later, Han Shao from the escort agency found them along the way and recruited them into the escort agency's martial arts school, where he taught them kung fu and trained them in water combat.
They are incorporated into the water escort team because they are good at swimming and have good underwater skills, and because of their hard training and certain skills.
Most of these people are very young, have good physical fitness, are muscular and very strong.
It is even more flexible underwater.
They never thought that not only could they learn kung fu for free, but they would also receive a basic salary every month. This was something they had never dared to imagine.
Before, they could only stay on the boat. When they grew up, they were eager to settle down on the shore, but they had no money, so they couldn't afford to buy a homestead or build a house.
But now they dare to think.
As long as they work hard, they can buy a piece of residential land in their hometown village to build a house and buy land within a year.
After floating on the water for a long time, I especially want to have a place to live on the shore that can shelter from the wind and rain.
It is really cold on the ship in winter.
They knew that the hope they had now was also given by Mr. Shen.
So they want to do things well.
Young Master Han said that as long as they train well and do their work well, Boss Shen will not treat them unfairly.
They naturally knew it, and they were no strangers to Mr. Shen.
There are many large villages in Beidi Town, and Shen Dongjia is the most famous person.
She has helped many people, and the heated kang that everyone uses was invented by Mr. Shen.
Many families knew how to pickle salted duck eggs after Shen Dongjia taught the villagers, who then taught their relatives and friends, and the knowledge gradually spread throughout the entire provincial capital.
Nowadays, many poor families can supplement their family income by raising ducks and making salted duck eggs.
Some people will use salted duck eggs to make snacks, and their family conditions will become much better.
There are water wheels in many places in rural areas, which makes farming much easier.
There is also the workshop run by Mr. Shen, who employs many people and pays good wages and bonuses, allowing many families to have enough food and warm clothes thanks to this job.
Nowadays, people are no longer afraid of winter because they can heat the kang, so they won’t feel cold when sleeping on it in winter.
Even though it is summer now, people still have kangs in many places in the provincial capital.
Some wealthy families in the capital began to use heated kangs, and it became popular to sleep on them in winter.
They visited their relatives and found the warm kang there really good.
Normally, people would burn firewood, but the heated kang was magical. As the firewood was burned, the kang also became warm.
I heard that when it’s cold in winter, it’s very comfortable to sleep in a warm kang bed, and it doesn’t matter if there’s strong wind or heavy snow outside.
All you need to do is be more diligent and chop more firewood, and store more firewood for the winter.
Where there is a heated kang, no one will freeze to death in winter.
And the preserved eggs developed by Mr. Shen are even more delicious.
Now people in their hometown have started to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes. I heard that the yield per acre of land can reach 1,000 kilograms.
Moreover, the land is no longer wasted. After harvesting potatoes and sweet potatoes, people can plant rapeseed flowers and produce oil.
With such high-yield crops, they would have enough food to eat even if they bought one acre of land.
In their hometown, many, many people love Shen Dongjia.
Everyone was very excited when they mentioned Mr. Shen.
Many people regard Shen Dongjia as their savior.
When they learned that their boss was Mr. Shen and that they could come to meet and protect Mr. Shen, they were extremely excited.
So at this moment they were standing by the river one by one, even though their clothes were soaked, they were full of fighting spirit and looked energetic.
Shen Yueyao nodded secretly as she looked at their mental states.
You can see that they have a lot of drive.
Shen Yueyao said, "Everyone has trained well. You can stay in Zhuangzi's dormitory first and rest up. We will go to Hezhou in a few days."
"yes!"
Everyone was very excited and happy to be recognized by Mr. Shen.
When he looked at Shen Yueyao, his eyes were bright and blazing.
After returning home, Shen Yueyao told Su Xueyi about the Water Escort Agency.
Su Xueyi said gently: "Well, thank you for your hard work."
Su Xueyi sighed softly, reached out and gently touched Shen Yueyao's hair.
I feel like his Yao Niang is really working hard. She has been very busy recently and hasn't had a good rest.
Shen Yueyao smiled and shook her head: "I didn't do anything."
In fact, Shen Yueyao was not very busy, but she was not idle either.
But she is busy during the day and always comes back in the afternoon.
"You've been busy lately."
Su Xueyi has to hand over some work recently and discuss some matters in Hezhou with the emperor, so sometimes she stays in the palace all day.
"Nothing, just preparing to go to Hezhou."
Su Xueyi learned some information about Hezhou from the Jinyiwei and the emperor. The more she knew, the easier it would be to govern Hezhou.
While they were talking, the emperor's edict arrived.
The imperial edict directly appointed Su Xueyi as the prefect of Hezhou, in charge of all affairs in Hezhou.
He also gave him the imperial sword.
After getting the imperial sword, Shen Yueyao was stunned.
The Imperial Sword is like the presence of the emperor. Seeing the Imperial Sword is like seeing the emperor, and one has the right to execute first and report later.
After the messenger left, Shen Yueyao was shocked when she saw the contents of the imperial edict and the imperial sword.
"The Emperor is indeed kind. He has given you the Imperial Sword. With the Imperial Sword, there is no need to worry about not being able to govern Hezhou."
Even the local forces and families in Hezhou did not dare to take advantage of Qiao.
Shen Yueyao was very excited, "In that case, we can just go to Hezhou and do our work."
Looking at Shen Yueyao's excited expression, Su Xueyi smiled gently and touched her hair.
"We will leave for Hezhou in a few days."
Normally, the emperor would not issue an imperial edict when appointing officials.
But the emperor issued an imperial edict and gave him the imperial sword, which was equivalent to giving him great power and showing his intention to protect him with his own attitude.
In this case, all forces in Hezhou must restrain themselves.
Seeing Shen Yueyao happy, Su Xueyi's eyes were filled with a gentle and doting look.
He handed the Imperial Sword to Shen Yueyao and said, "If you want to see it, take it and go and see it."
"This is a gift from the emperor. I really can see it."
Shen Yueyao had only seen these things on TV before, but she was still a little curious about actually coming into contact with something that represented the emperor's power in ancient times.
Purely out of curiosity.
Su Xueyi whispered, "Aren't my things yours?"
"Fool, you're still so clear with me."
It was rare to see her like a little girl. Su Xueyi's eyes were filled with watery luster, and she was very doting.
Shen Yueyao picked up the imperial sword and took a look at it. Looking at the standard golden dragon on it, her expression changed.
Only the emperor's things can be carved like this.
After looking at it for a while, Shen Yueyao said, "Okay, I'll go buy some herbs first so I can come back and prepare the medicine."
As Shen Yueyao spoke, she put away the imperial sword and prepared to go out to buy medicine.
Su Xueyi grabbed her hand and said, "I'll go with you."
