I am a pirate in Ming Dynasty

Qin Shang felt very tired. The scenery he saw along the way really shocked him, and the nauseating bitterness in his mouth lingered.

After his body was wiped clean and he put on the clothes prepared by others, he felt refreshed.

After all, Han Zhaoxi is a girl. She has been wearing smelly clothes these days, so she naturally needs to wash them carefully. She is lying on the edge of the tub, with some water stains on her smooth black hair, and her face is red.

"You were so dirty just now, why don't you wash it again?"

Qin Shang shook his head and said: "Sister Xi, you almost rubbed all the skin off my body just now, but now I am very clean."

Han Zhaoxi looked at Qin Shang's abnormally red skin and felt a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Brother Shang, do you feel any pain?"

"It doesn't hurt," Qin Shang quickly put on his clothes, opened the door a crack and ran out as if to escape.

"Brother!" Qin Li smiled and waved his hand, but then he felt it was inappropriate, and he retracted his outstretched hand.

His eyes were full of tenderness, but he looked timidly.

Qin Shang sighed in his heart, raised his head and showed an innocent smile: "Brother, I'm back!"

It seemed as if the sounds of the world had stopped for this moment, and even the wind that swept through the remaining leaves could not take away the thought of this sound.

Qin Li nodded with a smile, his hands hidden under his sleeves trembling slightly: "Just come back, just come back!"

Qin Shang looked at his nominal brother. He seemed to be a little different. Usually at this time, he would have rushed over to hold him in his arms, but today was a little unusual.

"Come, brother, talk to me." Qin Li was much more casual than before, pulling Qin Shang and sitting on the threshold.

Qin Shang knew that Qin Li had many doubts waiting for him to solve.

There were two brothers, one big and one small. One listened and the other talked. Qin Shang selectively told what he had experienced.

Qin Li stated this tortuous experience concisely and concisely, without any unnecessary movements, like a loyal listener, connecting all the story lines together.

Qin Shang did not elaborate on the return journey. If possible, he wanted to keep all the memories in his mind.

"Brother," Qin Shang raised his face.

Qin Li lowered his head: "What's wrong?"

"I want to do something with the food at home!" Qin Shang clenched his fists, a picture flashed in his mind, and fine sweat seeped out of his forehead, forming visible beads of sweat.

Qin Li noticed something was wrong and quickly covered the other person's head with his hands and said, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Why are you sweating so much?"

Qin Shang struggled to break away from the other party's hand and said awkwardly: "I'm fine, I'm really fine!"

Qin Shang's unintentional display of violent emotions made Qin Shang look a bit scary.

Qin Li withdrew his stiff hand, raised his head and looked at the dappled sunlight falling, took a deep breath and opened his eyes: "The food at home, excluding part of the growing grain, still has more than 1,200 stones. Apart from the need to leave the food in the house, For the hundred stones, the rest can be used.”

As the helm of the family, Qin Li's thinking mode is based on the family. One hundred shi of grain is almost more than 15,000 kilograms, which is equivalent to 20,000 kilograms for future generations. The Qin family, old and young, only has more than fifty people in total. About 30,000 kilograms of rations are consumed in a year, which is calculated based on the rations of an adult man.

Counting the old, weak, women and children, it is no problem to save some of the 20,000 kilograms of grain.

Qin Shang was not surprised at all when he heard this figure. Every year when the Qin family's fields are harvested and purchased, the family's surplus grain is almost this amount.

But the Qin family is a wealthy family after all. When everyone had nothing to eat, they still hid so much food.

Qin Shang raised his head and looked at his eldest brother's handsome profile, and couldn't help but sigh that this brother who came for nothing still had some tricks up his sleeve.

More than 1,100 shi of grain, plus the batch at sea, can almost make up more than 1,500 shi of grain, plus the cargo of the ship!

A huge number began to be calculated crazily in Qin Shang's mind, money, food, fields...

All the necessary conditions seemed to be gathered together. Phew, Qin Shang exhaled a long breath.

"Brother, I still have property worth 100,000 taels and more than 300 shi of food at sea. I would like to ask you to find a way to transport all those things back."

Upon hearing this almost impossible condition, Qin Li was stunned for a moment and replied: "Okay!"

Qin Shang glanced at the other party complicatedly and said, "Why don't you refuse?"

"Because this is the first condition my brother made to me, and I want to complete it," Qin Li turned his head, his eyes shining with inexplicable brilliance.

Qin Shang's throat seemed to be stuck, and his heart felt warm.

"I also want to acquire all the fertile farmland on the market. Those 100,000 taels of goods should be able to sweep through all the farmland on the market."

"Acquire the fields?" Qin Li frowned and said thoughtfully: "If it's okay to do other things, almost all the people buying fields on the market have backgrounds. If we step in, we will probably be targeted."

Qin Shang replied without surprise: "I have figured this out a long time ago, but if we don't collect these fields, only a few people will be able to be saved."

Hearing this, Qin Li seemed to be able to understand why Qin Shang wanted so much food.

"You want to save someone?"

"Yes!"

"why?"

"Don't want to see anyone die."

"There are so many suffering people in the world, and you can't save them."

A look of pain flashed across Qin Shang's face and he said, "I don't care how many people can be saved, I only care about how many people I can save."

Qin Li felt a little ridiculous when he heard this. A three-year-old child had a long talk with him? I looked around, but I didn't see the figure of the crazy Taoist priest. Could it be that my brother is really a Bodhisattva who descended to earth?

"Forget it, I won't ask anymore," Qin Li patted Qin Shang's shoulder and said, "Leave it all to me."

Qin Shang raised his head, looked at Qin Li's slowly leaving back, and said hesitantly: "It's too difficult to do this. You can refuse, so why do you have to do it?"

"What's the reason? This is what my brother asked me to do. This reason is enough." Qin Li waved his arm gracefully. The moment Qin Li turned around and left, his usual confident expression returned.

Yeah? Is it just because I, as the younger brother, requested it?

Qin Shang lowered his head. There was a little trace of moisture on the ground, and the dizzy water traces reflected the face of a young child.

Yes, I am your brother, brother!

……

All the forces that the Qin family can use on the surface have been arranged. Even the forces that Qin Li has been operating in the dark in recent years have also been mobilized, and all the motivations come from a child.
