Everyone was very excited.
Su Yunhai immediately organized people to move all the bricks out of the brick kiln and send them to the house construction area.
The finished bricks and tiles are then sent to the brick kiln for further firing.
With the successful firing of the blue bricks, the smiles on the faces of the people on the island never faded.
This good news seemed to inject stimulant into their hearts.
The people in charge of the porcelain kilns and pottery kilns also felt a lot more at ease.
Finally we have blue bricks.
Those responsible for building the houses are also working hard to speed up the construction.
Xiao Yuxuan returned to the island yesterday.
He told everyone the news that he had captured Pingxi Hou and controlled Lihai City.
...
...
Especially the Mu family.
Mu Wanjun, Gao Linglong and Mu Hongqi and his son were all very excited.
They never thought that Pingxi Hou would give up Qingya Pass and come directly to Lihai to find them.
After witnessing the success of the brick kiln, Xiao Yuxuan continued to take the big ship and the five members of the Mu family to Lihai City.
This time, Shen Shuli was also brought along specially.
Xiao Yuxuan is still thinking about the large and small ships that were seized by the government at Lihai Wharf.
With Chen Shuli here, it is convenient to use it at any time.
After hearing this, Shen Shuli was also envious.
Those are all strategic materials.
Of course, I will use it for my own use if I have the chance.
As the crew's experience grew and a shift system was used, the ship was traveling faster than before.
Six days later.
Number 8 arrived at Lihai City again.
this time.
Xiao Yuxuan directly ordered the boat to dock at the pier.
Everyone felt relieved when they saw that the dock was still crowded with boats.
The wharf has also been successfully taken over by Pingxi Hou.
Xiao Yuxuan and Mu Wanjun immediately reported their identities and asked the soldiers to take them to the mansion of Marquis Pingxi.
Gao Dechong didn't expect his granddaughter and her family to arrive so soon.
He immediately took his wife and children to greet him outside the mansion gate.
For Gao Dechong and his wife, they have not seen their daughter for nearly twenty years.
Although he seemed angry with his daughter, he actually missed his family more in his heart.
He just couldn't let go of his pride and refused to forgive his daughter's mistakes.
But after learning that his daughter's family had been confiscated and exiled by the emperor, he was still implicated because of the 100,000 troops under the Marquis of Pingxi.
During his exile, he encountered many thrilling assassinations and frame-ups.
The Pingxi Marquis and his wife have completely let go of this knot in their hearts.
When Gao Linglong saw her parents, whose hair had already turned gray, tears immediately fell uncontrollably.
She covered her lips with her hand, not daring to cry out loud or get close to her parents.
She was worried that her parents would reject her again.
Mu Wanjun knew that her grandparents should have forgiven her mother at this moment.
Otherwise, their whole family would not stand in an orderly manner at the door to greet them.
She held her parents' arms one by one, and said to her older and younger brothers, "Brother, brother, come on, follow me."
After saying that, he forced his parents to move forward.
Gao Linglong's mind was blank at the moment, and her legs and feet automatically moved forward as her daughter pulled her.
Mu Hongqi was also very nervous when facing his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
If it weren't for him, his wife wouldn't have broken up with her family.
He had hesitated, not wanting his wife to break up with her family because of him.
Marriage is a union of friendship between two families, not enmity.
He wanted to slowly resolve the conflicts between his wife and his family, and then get married after getting the consent of his father-in-law's family.
He couldn't be so selfish.
But he couldn't convince Gao Linglong.
Gao Linglong was too stubborn and hard-headed at the time. She felt that if he strongly opposed her, she would think that his feelings for her were fake and not firm enough.
Those who are extremely emotional may even hurt themselves to make him compromise.
Mu Hongqi had no choice but to give up mediation and marry her as soon as possible.
And he could only give her infinite love to make up for her and prevent her from regretting choosing him.
But it was also their marriage that directly stimulated the Marquis of Pingxi, causing him to announce the break-up of the engagement with his daughter.
This was something Mu Hongqi had never expected.
He knelt outside the Gao family's door for three days but failed to get the Gao family to open the door and forgive his behavior.
Gao Linglong was young and hot-tempered at the time, and was angry at her parents for being so cruel as not to see them.
She became angry and refused to go back to her parents' home.
As she grew older, Gao Linglong regretted it a lot.
She regretted her recklessness, immaturity and reckless behavior when she was young.
I tried to go back to my parents' home several times to ask for their forgiveness, but was turned away every time.
Mu Hongqi felt a little nervous.
He walked to the bottom of the stairs and bowed solemnly to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"I have seen my father and mother. I am sorry. It is my incompetence that has caused my wife and daughter to suffer and become sinners. I am speechless in front of them."
After Mu Hongqi finished speaking, he knelt on his knees, placed his hands at his sides, lowered his head, and admitted his mistake in a very good manner.
Gao Linglong also reacted and immediately knelt down with her husband, crying, "Dad, Mom, I am unfilial. I was too willful and acted impulsively without considering the consequences. I have made you sad. It is my fault. Please forgive me, okay?"
After saying that, she kowtowed several times to show her admission of fault.
Upon seeing this, their sons Mu Yansheng and Mu Yanbo also knelt down and kowtowed with a reserved attitude.
"Yan Sheng (Yan Bo) has met grandpa and grandma. I haven't visited you in these years. I am unfilial. Please punish me, grandpa and grandma."
Mu Wanjun was not as reserved as the other three.
She walked between her grandparents, coaxed the two old people with a smile, mediated the conflict between the two sides, and found a way out for her family.
"Hey, grandpa, grandma, and granddaughter miss you so much. My father, mother, brothers and sisters miss you too~"
"Let's go home and have a good reunion. There are so many people watching outside. Let's not let others laugh at our family, okay~"
Seeing this, Gao Linglong's elder brother Gao Yifei quickly stepped forward to mediate.
"Yes, father, let's go back and talk about it first. Don't let my sister, brother-in-law and the children kneel outside."
"Even if you don't feel sorry for your daughter and son-in-law, at least feel sorry for your grandchildren. It's raining outside, and you see they are all soaked."
The Marquis of Pingxi and his wife had no resistance to their granddaughter's adorable and cute behavior.
With his son's persuasion, he went down the stairs.
He really felt sorry for them and was worried that they would catch a cold and get sick, which would make him heartbroken.
"Everyone, get up and go back home to change your clothes."
Upon seeing this, Mu Wanjun smiled and praised her grandfather a lot, then quickly ran down to pull everyone up and followed them back home.
Shen Shuli and Xiao Yuxuan did not go to Gao's house with the Mu family.
After all, the relationship between the Mu family and the Gao family has not yet eased, so it would be inappropriate for outsiders like them to go there at this time.
The two of them decided to go visit the shipyard in Lihai.
When she first came to Lihai, Shen Shuli wanted to visit the shipyard.
Unfortunately, I was short on time and didn’t go.
There are wars going on everywhere in Dayong now.
In addition, foreign dynasties are also eyeing Dayong, wanting to get a piece of the pie.
Overseas forces will gradually appear in the later stage according to the plot of the book.
It won’t be long before a naval battle breaks out.
They must prepare for the situation early and train a group of naval forces capable of fighting at sea.
We also have to build corresponding warships.
Among the people on the island, not a single one knows how to build a ship.
The most that the fishermen on the seashore can do is to repair their broken boats.
It is absolutely impossible to ask them to build ships.
The only way was to find craftsmen who knew how to build ships from outside.
Now Lihai City is controlled by Pingxi Hou.
The shipyard that originally belonged to the government had to obey the orders of Marquis Pingxi.
Things will go much more smoothly.
The shipyard is more than fifty kilometers away from Lihai City.
On a large coast.
After Shen Shuli and Xiao Yuxuan left the city, they rode on horseback to hurry on their way.
An hour later.
The two finally arrived at the shipyard.
They kept walking in the rain and their clothes were all wet.
"Let's find a place to change clothes first." Shen Shuli said.
"Okay, it's really convenient to do anything with you around." Xiao Yuxuan sighed.
For example, the two horses that the two people were riding were secretly taken out of the space.
Shen Shuli raised her eyebrows proudly: "Of course, if you follow me, you can just enjoy yourself."
"Haha, hanging out with my sister means I have to eat nine meals in three days and eat until I'm full every time." Xiao Yuxuan immediately applauded.
The two of them took some dry clothes and found a place to change their clothes to prevent them from getting wet. They each took an oil-paper umbrella and held it.
The shipyard is already in sight.
Shen Shuli took the horse into the space to eat grass and restore its strength. The two walked on the gravel road, which was not too muddy.
The craftsmen in the shipyard are still working overtime.
Although the city was in chaos.
But their work has to continue.
Even when it rains, we dare not take a break, for fear of delaying the construction period and being severely punished by our superiors.
Shen Shuli and Xiao Yuxuan walked into the shipyard. Almost no one paid attention to them. They all kept their heads down and worked.
The clothes of these craftsmen had long been wet by the rain, as if it was raining on the clothes.
Even a cold-hearted person like Shen Shuli couldn't help but feel sorry for these craftsmen.
Why.
Since others don't feel sorry for them, let her feel sorry for them.
She wants to take all these people to the island to build warships for her~
Xiao Yuxuan took the initiative to walk up to several craftsmen and asked, "Masters, where is the person in charge of your shipyard? I want to talk to him about something."
After hearing the voice, several masters looked up at the person who came.
One of them, seeing the two men with outstanding looks and extraordinary demeanor, became subconsciously respectful.
"My dear guests, our shipyard is under the jurisdiction of the government. If you want to find the person in charge, you have to go to the government office to find someone."
Upon hearing this, Shen Shuli and Xiao Yuxuan looked at each other, their hearts sinking slightly.
original.
The two thought that the shipyard should be an independent department or institution, specifically responsible for shipbuilding.
I didn't expect it was under the jurisdiction of the Maritime Customs.
The Maritime Customs were greedy people who had cheated them out of 500,000 taels of silver.
And he also knows Xiao Yuxuan.
If they continued to negotiate with the people from the Maritime Customs about buying the shipyard, how could they resell it without spending a lot of money?
not to mention.
They were not sure whether the Maritime Customs would sell the shipyard.
It seems.
There are only two ways to solve this problem.
Firstly, it was Shen Shuli who acted secretly and secretly dismantled the entire shipyard and put it into the space and took it away.
Then knock these masters out and take them away.
Secondly, let the Marquis of Pingxi come forward and help settle the matter.
In the future, Haicheng will be an important battlefield for all ethnic groups outside the coastal area, and the shipyard will definitely not be able to operate.
It would be better to move directly to an island for development.
have no choice.
The two returned to Lihai City again and came to the gate of Gao's mansion to ask the gatekeeper to pass on the message.
Just two hours.
The Pingxi Marquis and his wife have already used this as an excuse to forgive their daughter and her husband.
The atmosphere in Gao's mansion was particularly joyful at this moment.
When Mu Wanjun received the message from the servant, she knew that the people who came to look for her must be Chen Shuli and Xiao Yuxuan.
"Grandfather, my good friend and cousin are here to look for me. Can I bring them into the house to play?" Mu Wanjun pulled her grandfather's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, as long as our Ah Jun is happy, grandpa will have someone prepare some snacks and tea to entertain them."
"Okay, thank you grandpa~" After saying goodbye to the people in the room, Mu Wanjun immediately ran outside the house to greet them, lifting her skirt.
"Baby, cousin, you are finally here." Mu Wanjun took the two men's arms and led them into Gao's house.
Xiao Yuxuan really doesn't like hearing Mu Wanjun call him cousin. Is it because he is afraid that others don't know that they are cousins?
"Mu Wanjun, if you call me cousin again, I will kiss you in public as a reward." Xiao Yuxuan threatened unhappily.
Shen Shuli had never expected that these two people would develop so rapidly after coming to ancient times, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times.
"How come I never realized you were such a show-off?"
Shen Shuli teased the two.
"I know you are all adults, but you are all little kids now, so you have to control yourself~"
Mu Wanjun's face suddenly turned red.
Xiao Yuxuan was not affected. Instead, he enjoyed this relationship that had been developed since childhood, which gave him a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.
Seeing that Xiao Yuxuan's tail was still up, Shen Shuli couldn't help but roll her eyes at her.
"Let's go quickly. My grandfather has asked someone to prepare tea and snacks to entertain you. I'll take you to meet my grandfather later." Mu Wanjun quickly interrupted.
Shen Shuli nodded and said, "It just so happens that we want to talk to your grandfather about acquiring the shipyard later."
"By the way, have you told him to go to the island with us?"
Mu Wanjun shook her head and explained, "No, they just accepted my parents and are still together at the moment. It's not appropriate to talk about other things."
"Yeah." Shen Shuli nodded to show that she understood.
Mu Wanjun brought the two of them to the flower hall to have tea and chat.
Not long.
Pingxi Hou took the initiative to come forward to entertain the guests.
Marquis Pingxi had already learned about it from his daughter and son-in-law.
Since being exiled, the Su family, where Shen Shuli is, has been very grateful to the Mu family. If it weren't for the Su family, perhaps the Mu family would not have been able to survive peacefully until now.
The gratitude of Pingxi Hou and his wife to the Su family was beyond words.
After learning that the person who came to look for Mu Wanjun this time was the daughter of the Su family, he naturally took it seriously and took the initiative to come forward to entertain her.
Not only the Su family is very caring towards the Mu family.
While traveling with Prince Xuan, Prince Xuan took great care of the Mu family.
After arriving at the island, King Xuan dispatched more than a thousand powerful guards to help build the island.
You can say that.
Xiao Yuxuan's people contributed the most to enable the island to build those kilns, warehouses and houses so quickly!
The Mu family has not suffered much since their exile, and has benefited a lot from the Su family and Prince Xuan.
When Pingxi Hou met Queen Xuan this time, his attitude was much more respectful than before, and he respected her from the bottom of his heart.
"Greetings, King Xuan." Marquis Pingxi nodded to Xiao Yuxuan.
Seeing his attitude towards him change drastically, Xiao Yuxuan was touched and nodded to him, "Meeting the Marquis of Pingxi."
"This is Miss Shen, right?" Pingxi Hou turned his head and fixed his gaze on Shen Shuli, asking with a kind smile on his face.
Shen Shuli smiled and nodded, and bowed to him as a junior: "Yes, I greet you, Lord."
"No need to be so polite. Please take a seat. I apologize for my poor hospitality." Marquis Pingxi sat in the main seat and motioned for the two to take a seat.
Although Xiao Yuxuan is a prince, his status in the royal family is awkward, and he is still on the new emperor's wanted list. His status is not necessarily higher than that of the powerful Marquis of Pingxi.
Therefore, it is reasonable for Pingxi Hou to sit in the main seat.
Xiao Yuxuan had no objection and took the initiative to sit in the guest seat.
"Grandfather, you've come at the right time. I have something to discuss with you." Mu Wanjun also sat on the main seat on the right and acted coquettishly to Marquis Pingxi.
"Oh? What's the matter, my dear granddaughter? Tell me." Marquis Pingxi knew something about his granddaughter.
I know she is not a person without sense of propriety. The fact that she would discuss things in front of these two people must be related to them.
Mu Wanjun had put away the playful smile on her face at this moment, and said to Pingxi Hou in a serious tone: "Grandfather, I want you to live with us on the island."
Pingxi Hou didn't expect that his granddaughter would tell him such a thing, and his expression suddenly became serious.
He never thought about living on an island.
There are signs of war everywhere now. As a marquis commanding 100,000 soldiers, he has never thought of avoiding the war and keeping himself out of it.
What's more, you are going to live on a deserted island where everything needs to be rebuilt.
But he did not immediately object to save his grandson's face, and asked Mu Wanjun with a slightly serious expression.
"Grandson, why do you have such an idea? Isn't it too absurd to want my army to sail across the ocean to live on that deserted island?"
Mu Wanjun knew that it would not be easy to convince her grandfather.
She stood up and walked outside the hall. Seeing that the servants were standing far away and could not hear the conversation in the room, she closed the door.
Then he walked back and said solemnly to Pingxi Hou: "Grandfather, Ah Li is a lucky star blessed by God, and she can read the celestial phenomena. It was thanks to her that we avoided many dangers along the way."
"She predicted the drought and the war in the north long ago, and persuaded the people of the Su family and Taohua Village to flee the famine and migrate."
"It was after I met her that she told me that the Mu family would be confiscated and exiled by the emperor."
"She also reminded me that the Mu family encountered this disaster because you, my grandfather, commanded a large army. The emperor wanted to drag you into the water, so my grandson had time to prepare and went to the western border to find you, hinting that you should not move your troops and must not enter the capital."
"It was also she who discovered in time that Yunzhou Governor Zhou Hao had evil intentions and rescued us from the coal mine."
"It was because of her predictions of natural disasters such as heavy rains and the outbreak of the epidemic that we narrowly avoided them and found medicinal herbs that could cure the epidemic, helping the people of the state to recover from the epidemic."
"Grandfather, I know you don't believe me, but everything I said is true, and she also said that this rain is very unusual."
"Before the rain, she observed the sky and found that the rain would last at least three months before it ended, but it would be followed by ice and snow. By then, the whole world would be hit by an extreme cold disaster!"
"Grandfather, if the extreme cold disaster comes, most of the people in Lihai City will definitely not be able to survive. Before the war comes, a civil uprising will break out first. I don't want anything to happen to you and your army."
"Grandfather, do you believe me?"
Mu Wanjun spoke earnestly and with an extremely serious expression, even Pingxi Hou was stunned.
Shen Shuli and Xiao Yuxuan, who were listening nearby, couldn't help but tap their toes when they heard Mu Wanjun's words.
Especially Shen Shuli.
She had dug out a three-story courtyard with her feet, and her cheeks were burning with irritation.
How could what Mu Wanjun said be her credit?
These are all plots from the book, right?
Why do you have to bring this upon her?
If after all the natural disasters are over, and she no longer has the ability to predict the celestial phenomena, how will others view her?
But it doesn’t matter, after all, it’s a matter of the future, Shen Shuli doesn’t care.
But she is very embarrassed now!
Xiao Yuxuan on the opposite side was still staring at her with a strange and teasing look.
Shen Shuli wanted to dig out his eyes!
Ping Xi Hou was silent for a long time before he digested the information his granddaughter said.
He knew some of these things from his granddaughter's letters.
But those letters did not mention that these were all predicted in advance by Miss Shen by observing the celestial phenomena!
Although these things were told by his granddaughter, he always remained skeptical.
She really couldn't believe that someone had such a powerful and accurate ability to observe the celestial phenomena.
This person is more capable than the people in the Imperial Observatory!
Are there really such extraordinary people among the people?
Pingxi Hou's gaze slowly moved to Shen Shuli, and he looked at her with a scrutinizing look.
Shen Shuli felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, but she didn't show it on her face and pretended to be calm.
Pingxi Hou nodded to Shen Shuli, and then continued to look at Mu Wanjun.
"Grandson, I know you want us to follow you to the island, but you don't have to say these things to scare me."
After taking a few deep breaths, Marquis Pingxi gave earnest advice.
Mu Wanjun couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth when she heard that.
She knew that even if she said that, her grandfather would not believe her.
What a stubborn old man.
Why.
Mu Wanjun's expression became visibly lost, and she looked particularly sad and lonely.
Marquis Pingxi couldn't bear to see his granddaughter showing such an expression, so he hurried to coax her.
"Don't be sad, grandson. Grandpa didn't say he didn't believe it. He just couldn't accept it for a while!"
Mu Wanjun pursed her lips.
She thought about it and continued, “Grandfather, why don’t we make a bet, if…” She couldn’t remember how many days it would take for the rain to stop, so she turned to look at Shen Shuli and blinked for confirmation.
Shen Shuli guessed what her best friend wanted to ask, she blinked, feeling embarrassed.
Seeing that Lord Pingxi was looking at her, she quickly stood up, opened the door, and looked at the sky in a mysterious manner.
In fact, I was quickly calculating in my mind how long the rain had been falling and how long it would take to end.
According to the original book, the rain lasted for ninety days before it stopped.
Chen Shuli calculated the time and said to Mu Wanjun, "Except for today, it will end in thirteen days, and then the temperature will drop sharply. There will be a cold wave period that will last for a year, and it will snow in the second half of the year."
Mu Wanjun turned around and looked at Pingxi Hou: "Grandfather, you heard it, the rain will stop and snow will come in thirteen days."
"Will you listen to your granddaughter's advice and follow us to the island for refuge?"
