The happy life of a prodigal

Knowing that Bai Xiaochun is the chief steward of the Marquis of Xin'an's residence, he naturally felt that he was inferior.

Of course, when Bai Xiaochun walked all the way from the capital like this, people from all the prefectures on the way met him, and there was no one who was not respectful.

In the past, this was absolutely impossible.

But now it is different!

Marquis Xin'an now has another layer of identity!

Minister of Fuguo!

These four words carry a lot of weight, what's more, they all know that Bai Xiaochun is the chief executive of the Fang Mansion, and the dog's leg of Xin'anhou's dog legs, so naturally they have to treat him with respect.

Bai Xiaochun was already used to it, he glanced at the servant, waved his hand, and said calmly: "Understood, let him come over."

"Yes, Manager Bai!" The servant saluted, then turned and left.

Seeing this scene, Bai Xiaochun couldn't help but think of himself in front of the young master, with a faint smile on his face.

At the same time, he said silently in his heart that he had already left the capital for nearly a month, and he didn't know how the young master was doing, whether he was doing well.

Thinking of this, there was already a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard door.

A man who looked a little old walked slowly in front of Bai Xiaochun, saluted, and said tremblingly: "Chang Yong, the prefect of Chen Anchuan Prefecture, met Director Bai!"

The permanent magistrate actually looked older than the Duke of England.

Seeing this scene, Bai Xiaochun felt a little surprised, and asked, "Master Chang, why do you have to do it yourself at such an old age? Is there no one else in the yamen of Anchuan Mansion?

Is there no one else in Jiedushifu in Dongnan Road? "

These words were not malicious, but he was a little puzzled, and at the same time felt a little aggrieved for this Master Chang.

Bai Xiaochun saw a lot of magistrates who were younger than Mr. Chang in Jiedu Mansion in Dongnan Road, why not let them come to Anchuan Mansion?

After all, Anchuan Prefecture is the state capital most affected by pirates in the entire Southeast Province!

When the Chang Zhifu heard this, he also understood what he meant, with a faint smile on his face, he waved his hands, and said indifferently: "Anchuan Mansion is too far away, and there are too many things, they don't want to come, It's human nature, old man has lived enough and enjoyed all the blessings, so it's no big deal here."

Speaking of this, he paused, and continued: "Furthermore, there are tens of thousands of people in this mansion. Don't they know that Anchuan Mansion is not as good as other state capitals? Don't they know that pirates are rampant here?

They still stay here, because this is their home, they still stay here, because they know that if they leave, the pirates will make progress, they all stay here, why can't the old man stay here? "

When Bai Xiaochun heard this, a look of admiration appeared on his face.

Don't look at him as a dog's leg, but he has always admired these characters who are almost lonely heroes.

Of course, what he admired was not only the Lord Chang, but also so many people in Yaskawa Prefecture.

He knew that living in Anchuan Prefecture was not an easy task.

Thinking of this, Bai Xiaochun had a thoughtful look on his face, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked, "I don't know that Mr. Chang has come to me, but what's the problem?"

Chang Zhifu thought for a while, and said: "Actually, it's not a problem, but the old man heard that Director Bai is building a ship?"

With such a large ship, one must know about it sooner or later, and there is nothing to hide.

Bai Xiaochun didn't deny it either, he just nodded and said, "This is indeed the case, what advice can Mr. Chang have?"

"I can't talk about advice..." Chang Zhifu waved his hand, and said tremblingly: "It's just that I have some things that I want to tell you, Boss Bai.

The pirates from the Southeast Road are no better than the bandits from the Central Plains Road. They are all from overseas, and they are even more ferocious than the bandits.

Regardless of whether it is a big ship or a small ship, they can still avoid them, so the ship you built, the old man is worried..."

The following words were not spoken, but the meaning was very clear.

Although you are Director Bai, although you come from the Fangfu of the capital, and although there is Marquis Xin'an standing behind you, those pirates don't know these things.

They became crazy, but they didn't recognize anyone. Sometimes, the pirates often fought each other.

Therefore, the remaining pirates may not be the most numerous, and the ships may not be the largest, but their combat effectiveness must be the strongest!

Even if it is built in a huge fleet, in a huge ship, it is difficult to escape them.

After Bai Xiaochun heard this, he showed a faint smile, as if he didn't care about it, and said calmly: "Please rest assured, Mr. Chang, since I can appear here, and I can build ships here. Of course, I understand the situation.

Including those pirates.

I can also tell you here, Mr. Chang, those pirates, they don't have a few days to jump around! "

As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence in the whole mansion.

After all, there are only a small number of servants here from Kyoto Prefecture.

Many people in this mansion are locals from Anchuan Prefecture.

They understood the ferocity of those pirates better than anyone else, so they were stunned when they heard Bai Xiaochun's extremely confident words.

Don't mention them, even Chang Zhifu was stunned when he heard this.

Then he smiled wryly and said: "Boss Bai, you must not underestimate the enemy!

The magistrate before the old man was like this, he underestimated the enemy too much, so...hey..."

I don’t say what I said later, but what it means is self-evident!

Chapter 734 Port

It is not that the Jiedu Envoy of Dongnan Road has not thought about solving the problem of the pirates, and even several times, the Lord Jiedu Envoy personally brought the soldiers here, but those pirates were too ferocious. Far beyond their imagination.

The end result is...

Hey......

The previous magistrate was sunk to the bottom of the sea just like that, and it was precisely because of this that no one wanted to come to this Yaskawa Prefecture!

So, once he heard Bai Xiaochun say that, Chang Zhifu felt a little flustered in his heart.

The enemy is scary, there is no problem with it, if it is not possible, just hide, the scary thing is that the enemy is not taken seriously.

At that time, if you don't think about hiding, then the problem will be big.

Thinking of this, Chang Zhifu's face revealed a firm look, looked at Bai Xiaochun with a very serious expression, and said slowly: "Director Bai, I still have something to tell you clearly.

You are new here, many things are not clear, this old man can fully understand, I just want to advise you, don't act rashly!

If the old man really can't stop you and you act rashly, the old man only hopes for one thing, that is, don't bring tens of thousands of people from my Anchuan Prefecture to act rashly together.

Even if you move Xin Anhou out, the old man will not agree! "

What he said was completely different from what he said before.

Just now he was a little humble, but now he looks different.

Seeing this scene, Bai Xiaochun had a smile on his face, he knew he was right.

So, he said with a smile: "Master Chang, please don't worry, I don't know how to use any people from Anchuan Prefecture. I must use people I brought over from Kyoto Prefecture. What do you pay.

These are owed to you by the imperial court. You only need to provide some basic information, that is, the terrain of the nearby mountains and rivers, or what pirates are nearby, how many people are there, and how many people can be gathered at most.

What kind of weapons are there, what threats are there to the ships, where the nearby seas are, there are fewer pirates, and wherever they are, there are more pirates.

The more detailed the better. "

Hearing this, the Chang Zhifu knew that Bai Xiaochun still hadn't given up the idea of ​​attacking the pirates, so he sighed silently, and didn't try to persuade him any more.

He has seen this kind of person a lot, and he can't persuade him to come back.

They have never seen pirates, and they will never know how powerful pirates are.

That being the case, it would be better to let them meet the pirates, and then it will be much quieter.

At the very least, I won't make trouble for myself, and I won't find work for myself.

Thinking of this, Chang Zhifu waved his hand and said: "In this case, Director Bai is free to do as he pleases, as long as it doesn't hinder the people of my Anchuan Prefecture."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, and continued: "The yamen in the mansion naturally has the specific information about the pirates, but it will take a certain amount of time to sort them out, especially to summarize all of them. At most tomorrow, the old man will ask someone to What do you think of these materials being sent to the White House?"

When Bai Xiaochun heard this, he nodded and said, "It's okay."

Chang Zhifu also nodded, originally wanted to sit down and drink tea, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that Bai Xiaochun would bring Marquis Xin An out and let him take the yamen to fight the pirates.

Therefore, I stood there and said a few words, exchanged a few words of greeting, then turned and left.

After he left, the servant next to Bai Xiaochun couldn't help but leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Boss Bai, are we really going to exterminate those pirates?"

Bai Xiaochun glanced at him, with a nonchalant expression on his face, and asked lightly: "Otherwise?"

Hearing this, the young man swallowed, and couldn't help showing a fearful expression on his face, and said: "Bai, Chief Bai, you don't know how powerful those pirates are.

Those pirates go crazy, but they are much more powerful than bandits, especially at sea, our navy in Dachu is weak, and it's not just a matter of a day or two, they just eat this bowl of rice.

That can't be compared! "

When he said this, seeing Bai Xiaochun's expressionless face, he stopped, didn't say anything, just made a final summary: "Boss Bai, so let's forget it.

The little one knows that Marquis Xin'an is very powerful, and Fang's mansion is even more powerful when he comes out. He also knows that the people you brought with you came all the way from the Kyoto mansion, passed five passes and killed six generals. Bandit lair.

But, that's different! "

Bai Xiaochun remained expressionless, just waved his hands and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter, don't worry, you will all stay in Anchuan Mansion when the time comes, and you won't be allowed to go to sea."

As soon as these words came out, the mood in the house calmed down a little bit.

These servants in the house originally thought that their master was going to take him to the sea to fight those pirates!

Not to mention that none of them are soldiers, and they don't have any decent weapons. Even if they have soldiers, armor, and decent weapons, it is impossible for them to face those pirates.

After all, most of them have seen pirates with their own eyes and know how ferocious they are.

I don't have the guts!

Bai Xiaochun obviously knew this too, so he didn't criticize them too much, he just explained a few words, then turned and left the mansion.

The servants of the mansion looked at Bai Xiaochun's back and didn't know what to say for a while.

They just want to...

Manager Bai was lucky enough to save his own life from those pirates.

That's all, nothing else is expected.

Bai Xiaochun didn't care what they thought at all, he led a horse and left Anchuan Mansion straight away.

to the sea.

There is a port here, built a long time ago.

The pirates also know that they can't go fishing in the marsh, so they are still at sea most of the time, only occasionally coming to the port, and they will never damage any ships, let alone the port.

There was even a ridiculous incident that many people thought was unbelievable.

During that time, because the pirates appeared too frequently, many fishermen were terrified and did not dare to approach the port, let alone go fishing.

Then came another violent storm, which wrecked the port.

The fishermen are even more afraid to go to sea.

As a result, those pirates even sent people to the shore to repair the port.

Of course, this is no big deal, and understandable.

The most speechless thing is that they even sent people to various villages to announce one thing, that is, within three months, pirates will no longer appear in the sea near the shore.

Tell the fishermen that they can fish with confidence during this period, and no one will disturb them.

That's... just weird.

Therefore, the port has been kept in good condition all year round.

Because it is not only fishermen who need it, but also pirates.

Now there is going to be an extra force, merchants!

Chapter 735 A New Journey

At this moment, in this port, there are many more ships than usual, and each ship is much bigger than imagined!

Compared with them, the small fishing boats lined up next to them are like ants meeting a tiger, they seem so small.

As soon as Bai Xiaochun appeared at the port, he attracted the attention of many people, especially the hundreds of people who followed him from the capital to here.

Hastily put down the work in hand, and came over, "Mr. Bai, what are your orders?"
