After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

While the capital of Kyoto was going crazy for lotus cushions, the city of Hangzhou to the south was as peaceful and stable as ever.

It was foggy in the early morning.

In the dim light, the colors of the flowers and willows are not very clear.

The sound of temple bells and drums can be heard from afar, and through the morning light, you can see the calm lake surface glowing white.

The singing and dancing on the flower boats has stopped, replaced by the noisy sounds of vendors selling their wares.

"How much is the mutton today?" A fat old lady with a kind heart stopped in front of the mutton stall, picking and choosing the mutton on the chopping board.

The butcher didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "Forty-two cents a pound. Aunt Chen, how many pounds would you like? In such a cold season, a bowl of hot mutton soup is the best way to warm your body!"

Aunt Chen frowned, a little reluctant: "Wasn't it only 40 cents last month? Why did the price go up?"

"We slaughtered a lot of sheep last month, so the price was a little lower. Oh, your Dalang has joined the shipyard. I heard that he earns thousands of coins every month. You can't let your health suffer!"

Hearing the vendor praising her son, Aunt Chen couldn't suppress her smile: "My son's salary will increase next month! Xing Lao San saw that my son is hardworking and smart, so he asked my son to help him. We will try to get him on the first ship before the end of the year."

The meat vendor knew that this business was secure!

"It's all thanks to you, Aunt Chen, for teaching me well! Chen Dalang is just an assistant now. After a year or two, he can become Xing Laosan's master! This shipbuilding skill can be passed down to future generations!"

Aunt Chen was so pleased with the compliment that she pointed to the largest piece of mutton in the middle of the chopping board and said, "Give me this piece! I need to nourish my son. He has been very busy these days trying to get the ship out to sea as soon as possible."

At this time, a few more customers came to the meat stall. After hearing what Aunt Chen said, they asked curiously.

"The shipyard has built a seagoing ship so quickly?"

"What does it look like? Fishermen living by the sea said that they could hear thunder-like noises from time to time. They all said that this ship was made with lightning and could sail on the sea without fear of wind and rain. Is that true?"

Aunt Chen rolled her eyes at the person who was asking the question and said, "Can you just pry into such a secret?"

Seeing the man's embarrassed expression, Aunt Chen softened her tone and said, "It's not that I'm unkind, it's just that Su Erlang is very strict. If he knew and we leaked the news, the whole family would be in trouble!"

When Su Erlang's name was mentioned, no one dared to say anything more.

The butcher sighed, "Back then, the Xu family in Hangzhou was also very famous. When they stomped their feet, the land in Hangzhou would shake three times. Now, no one knows where the head of the Xu family has gone."

Aunt Chen lowered her voice and said, "Who made the Xu family so blind that they dared to have ulterior motives towards the shipyard! They didn't even think about it. Without a strong background, how could they dare to open a shipyard here?"

The people nearby came over and said, "Isn't the owner of this shipyard the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang? How could she be so powerful? The backer of the Xu family in Hangzhou is Imperial Tutor Tong!"

A group of people had already gathered around Aunt Chen. Since this was related to the mysterious shipyard, who wouldn't want to hear more news?

When the shipyard was first built, the Xu family tried to take over the shipyard with great fanfare, but they were given a good beating by Su Erlang and his men.

I originally thought that the Xu family would ask Master Tong for help in forcibly marrying her, but I didn't expect that the matter would never get off the ground and end in nothing.

Aunt Chen corrected her, "She shouldn't be called Madam Yongchang, but General, or Governor! I heard from people in Kyoto that she is the goddess of the river, and there are always gods and fairies sending her gifts! Her food, clothing, and daily necessities are not ordinary."

Everyone suddenly realized: "No wonder Su Erlang is so confident!"

"Look at Su Erlang's solemn expression, he looks like the reincarnation of Erlang Shen."

"Oh, my legs are shaking when I stand in front of him. If he looks at me, I will faint on the spot!"

"How can it be as scary as you say? Su Erlang is extremely handsome. If I were a dozen years younger, I would definitely marry you!"

Su Erlang was a prominent figure in Hangzhou. He was handsome and dignified. With just a wave of his hand, he could destroy the Xu family in Hangzhou.

Everything about him is in the spotlight.

At this time, Su Yunting was inspecting the shipyard.

He had a stern face and was not smiling, and the old Taoist priest followed closely behind him.

"Our gunpowder ratio is perfect. What we lack now is the materials! As long as we find the right gun barrel material, I guarantee that the firearm will allow the general to sweep across the entire grassland!"

The old Taoist priest wiped his sweat, feeling a little bit uneasy.

During this period, he spent money like water, but Su Erlang didn't say a word.

As a result, the perfect firearm was still not created!

When the people in the shipyard saw Su Yunting coming, they all lowered their heads and their movements became more delicate.

Su Yunting quickly came to an inconspicuous beach, and saw a few small seedlings there, holding their heads stubbornly and taking deep roots in the beach.

"Are all the wheat ears left behind?"

The old Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, then realized that Su Erlang was asking about the wild rice seedlings: "All of them were left behind."

Su Yunting nodded slightly: "You will set off for Yunzhou tomorrow and take these wheat ears with you."

"Ah?!" The old Taoist priest was anxious, "What about the firearms?"

Su Yunting's eyes became dark and deep. Yesterday, he received a letter from his elder brother.

The letter didn't say anything else, just two sentences.

【We are all one family】

【Mountains of gold and silver are not as good as these green mountains and clear waters】

Combined with the description of everything happening in Yunzhou in his younger sister's letter, Su Yunting quickly knew what his mother wanted to do!

Su Yunting touched the sword at his waist, and his whole body felt as if a sword had been unsheathed. The old Taoist priest shivered with cold.

Su Yunting: "Take all the firearms with you, and these wheat ears, and be sure to hand them over to my mother in person! Pu Chang of the Mo family is in Fuming Town, you can discuss the production of firearms with him."

Su Yunting faced the sea, his eyes full of determination: "After the New Year, I will go south with the ship. If you leave now, you may still be able to celebrate the New Year in Yunzhou."

Seeing that Su Erlang had made up his mind, the old Taoist priest did not dare to waste time and immediately asked his young disciple to pack his bags.

After the old Taoist priest left, Xing Laosan came over and said, "This little seedling doesn't produce much. The locals don't even want to grow it. Why does Su Lang value it so much?"

In fact, these small seedlings have existed for a long time. They did not grow in large patches, but there were a few here and there in the corners.

After Su Yunting discovered this, he immediately sent people to look after all the small seedlings nearby. They did not harvest them carefully until the rice seedlings were mature.

Xing Laosan and the local people were all puzzled by this.

Su Yunting: "Oranges grown in the south of the Huai River are oranges, while those grown in the north of the Huai River are tangerines. Whether it is useful or not depends on where it grows."
