Farming in troubled times: Anyone who stops me from getting rich will die!

"Tell the eldest princess that the general guarding the city cannot be replaced casually, but he will get sick. A seriously ill person cannot do anything or hold his position."

As soon as these words came out, Xiaojiu's eyes lit up.

It has to be said that Yao'er is the smartest person he has ever met, and even he is ashamed of himself.

Zhong Xiao was also shocked by her words.

"Let's go!" Li Yao said lightly.

Li Yao was hungry, so as soon as the food was served, she started to cook. Regardless of the others, he looked like he was gobbling up the food.

Linhai, the most indispensable thing is fish.

It's just that whatever the cook here does is a bit lacking, it always doesn't taste like what my mother made.

Li Yao also ate three bowls because he owed some. After finishing the meal, he realized that Xiao Jiu had been picking fish for him just now.

And picked out a bowl of conch.

Huang Lian was dumbfounded directly.

First, I felt that a girl had eaten a little too much, and second, I felt that the master had no self-esteem in front of Li Yao.

"Learn more!" Li Yao put down his chopsticks and changed to a bamboo stick. He said coldly to Huang Lian, "With your stubborn temper, I will separate you and Sister Mengmeng sooner or later."

"You!" Huang Lian suddenly became serious, "Do you still keep your trust?"

"Don't keep it!" Li Yao threw a piece of conch meat into his mouth and was confused by the aroma inside.

"Humph!" Huang Lian was speechless. He knew that only women and villains in this world were difficult to raise.

Seeing that he was speechless, Li Yao put away his playful attitude. Then he got down to business.

"Are you going to find trouble with that Kang Yuanwai?"

Xiaojiu just finished eating and wiped her hands. "It's not urgent, wait until midnight. If you can't receive the goods, I will naturally come to your door."

"Okay!" Li Yao thought for a while, "Go and have a look on the ship. I have to estimate what gift to give to Chang Ning."

"Also, where are the two thousand soldiers of the mysterious army now?"

"Yao'er, I know you are impatient, but can you wait a little longer?" Xiao Jiu was worried about the general guarding the city.

If the general who defends the city is ill, then my aunt will nominate someone to take over the position.

According to the postponement, he should be the commander of the city defense. But now, he didn't know whether the city guard commander was trustworthy.

"Auntie needs time to find a replacement."

Li Yao now held up his chin with both hands, a little disappointed in his eyes, "Okay!"

Xiaojiu reached out and wanted to touch her head to comfort her, but suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, so she put down her hand.

"I'm thinking of someone," Li Yao suddenly raised his head and turned his face.

"Deputy Commander of the city defense, he must be trustworthy!"

Xiaojiu tried hard to recall the appearance of the deputy commander of Yun Mansion's city defense, and looked at Li Yao. Did he miss something again?

"Don't doubt that I have selfish motives. I have no idea about Ming Yuan's empire."

"I didn't!" Xiaojiu said hurriedly.

Then he defended himself again, with a hurried tone, "I have never doubted you, can you trust me like you trust Li Jifeng!"

Li Yao sighed slightly, "Not long ago, I got in touch with the Su family. I also met with the Su family's uncle. The deputy commander of the city defense was none other than my aunt's husband."

"Based on your knowledge of our family, you should have known about his relationship with our family for a long time." Li Yao lost any interest in the snail meat in front of him.

"I have never met the deputy commander of the city defense, nor my biological aunt. But he must have been responsible when he married my aunt at a critical moment.

There are rumors in the Yun Mansion that he didn't treat his aunt well, but it's possible that he was the one who set off the smoke bomb.

How could a smart and responsible person do something traitorous to his country?

So he is the best candidate. "

"I guess my aunt has her own judgment in her heart." Xiao Jiu said lightly, but in her heart she completely agreed with Yao'er's words.

The two ended the topic.

After resting for a while, Li Yao felt that his whole body was full of strength and he was looking forward to boarding the ship soon.

It was on his boat that he met Fang Cheng. Li Yao had been on his boat before and was already familiar with the structure of the boat.

Now a group of people are sitting in the cabin, Fang Cheng has one foot on the wooden chair, "Ninth Young Master, how about we not meet each other at the moment?"

Xiaojiu shook his head lightly, "It's my first time to cooperate with you, so I can't let you fail."

After saying that, he glanced at Huang Lian, who took out a wad of banknotes from his arms and threw them in front of Fang Cheng.

The weight is not small and the sound is a bit loud.

Fang Cheng was surprised for a moment, sat up straight and picked up a stack of banknotes, "Twenty thousand taels, that's a lot!"

On the surface, he promised to get one hundred thousand taels of silver after successfully transporting the goods.

But in the afternoon, he knew that the freight was not possible. According to the previous business, only one percent of the compensation is required.

After all, he had nothing to lose. It seemed that suddenly, even the risk was gone.

"This is the deposit," Xiao Jiu's dark eyes showed no emotion.

"Deposit?" Fang Cheng glanced at his face and then glanced at the partner Li Yao.

"Take it!" Li Yao smiled, "Anyway, if you don't accept it, your ship must make this trip. Don't let it go in vain."

Fang Cheng didn't understand more and more.

The Ninth Young Master came to him earlier just to ask him to sing a play with him. Now the play is almost over. Why are things getting complicated?

"What do you want me to do?" He had doubts in his eyes.

Xiao Jiu looked at Li Yao. It was better for her. After all, she was in charge of this matter. The only thing he could do now was to guard her and avoid any accidents.

"Fight!" Li Yao spat out heavily.

Fang Cheng almost spat out his tea. They said he was brave, but now that he looked at it, he was nowhere near where he was.

Sure enough, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

He thought these people were going to do something, but he didn't expect it to be an open war.

This is no child's play!

"Uncle Fang, what is your reaction? They say you are brave, why are you so scared of this little thing!"

"Hey, Miss Yao'er, I'm just your second brother's master. There's no need to entrust my life to you. To fight, we need to find soldiers. At most, I'll lend you the boat."

"I just want a boat," Li Yao curled his lips and smiled happily.

Seeing Fang Cheng's mouth twitching, he felt that this little girl had already settled down and he would agree.

He patted the stack of banknotes and said, "If the boat breaks down, you have to pay for it!"

"Compensate!" Li Yao agreed.

Fang Cheng put forward another condition, "My boat can't do it."

"Understood," Li Yao blinked. This was left to him by Uncle Fang's wife. She would never be so mad that she would not let this ship go.

"Go and look at those ships," she said, taking the opportunity.

Fang Cheng held the banknote in his arms and said, "Let's go then!"

The group got off the boat, boarded a small boat, and rowed towards the row of large boats parked at the pier.

When the boat approached, Li Yao raised his head and was shocked for a long time.

Before, when we were far away, we only felt majestic. Now that we are close, we realize what it means to be dwarfed by something small.

Climbing from the small boat to the big ship is a ladder made of hemp ropes as thick as an arm.

Fang Cheng was first worried that he would climb up and embarrass the little girl Yao'er, but after seeing that she was agile and didn't need anyone's help, he realized that he had underestimated her again.

This girl once again broke his traditional concept of the girl's family.

It would be nice to have a daughter like this.

"It's so big!" Li Yao couldn't think of an adjective. After getting on the boat, he only marveled at these two superficial words.

Putting a dozen cannons is not a problem. she thinks.
