"Over there in Xingji City, what has Miao Xia been doing lately?" Ren Ning asked again.
"The general's adopted brother?" Zou Dahe smiled, "He is very busy."
"While guarding against being targeted by the all-pervasive Jinlin Guards, he continues to inquire and collect information on all aspects of Xingji City. By the way, he also sent some gifts to the madam and the young master a few days ago."
Um.
Ren Ning knew about this and ordered: "There is one of our people in Huayang County, let him find a way to acquire the fields inside."
ah?
Ren Ning changed the topic so quickly that Zou Dahe was dumbfounded and couldn't react for a while.
"Why," Ren Ning frowned, "the government can't get any money?"
"That's not true." Zou Dahe pondered for a while.
"General, Huayang County is a high-class county. Usually, almost no one sells the land and property in the county. If it does, the prices are quite exaggerated."
"Even if there are landowners who are selling off their land at low prices because they have fled, if we want to buy all the land, we probably won't have enough money."
Ren Ning laughed, "Of course I know this."
"Well, let's keep the money that the house needs in the next year, and give the rest to Miao Xia, so that he can buy the fields on both sides of the post road first."
Zou Dahe was also a soldier, so he understood something immediately.
But he still hesitated for a while, "General, have you mentioned this to Madam?"
Huayang County is different from lower-class counties such as Guangxin or Laigu. Even if the land is purchased at a low price, the amount of silver spent is definitely not a small amount.
"Yeah." Ren Ning nodded.
Now the general's mansion has a lot of land, and it can be said that it has almost bought two counties.
Although Yingpan didn't know why Ren Ning wanted to buy the land, she agreed without thinking. She even asked if the money was enough. If not, she could borrow some from Li Hezhu next door.
Zou Dahe breathed a sigh of relief.
"General, we do have a lot of money to spend now, but fortunately rubber and newspapers bring in money very quickly."
"As for Laigu, there is no rent available there for the time being, but it is not a bottomless pit. Laigu Laigu, it was originally a land of plenty. Now that the post road in Misty County has been repaired, as long as the wood and fruits inside are transported out, It’s also a large number.”
"So money is not an issue."
"However," he hesitated, "are you sure that Huayang County will not be continuously occupied by Japanese pirates?"
If the place has been occupied by Japanese pirates, the land deed they bought will be a pile of waste money.
"Don't worry." Ren Ning patted his shoulder happily, "I know what's going on, just do your work."
When Zou Dahe heard this, he quickly left happily.

Huayang County.
People everywhere are in panic.
Densely packed warships of Japanese pirates have appeared near Dinghai Pier and are heading toward the pier menacingly.
Yesterday, Wang Yuanwai made a mysterious statement, and the news that Huayang County was abandoned by Xing Ji City has now spread among the various landowners, and every one of them added fuel and jealousy to make it true. Even more outrageous.
Those who were originally planning to stay and see what was going on were also frightened by the news, and quickly packed up and prepared to leave.
At some point, some rebels appeared among the people fleeing.
They have various identities, ranging from businessmen to barefoot doctors and even teachers who like to teach others. Each one of them is quietly acquiring land.
Landowners outside the Yuan Dynasty are worried about how to deal with those things that cannot be taken away.
Nowadays, it is not easy to hear that someone wants it. They even asked the housekeeper to come to their door with the land deed.
Even though they didn't say that they had sold the land deed, they still asked with a face if they wanted to accept the grain in the warehouse as well.
Normally, a warehouse full of grain would be a rich treasure, but now in a hurry to leave, those heavy and heavy grains have become a burden.
If someone wants them, the landowners and gentry are still more willing to exchange them for light silver notes.
A young man on horseback saw this scene and decisively ordered, "As long as the price is right, I will accept them all."
————
Dinghai Pier.
Deputy Lieutenant Zhang Yang did not know what happened on the post road behind him.
He stood on the watchtower, holding a telescope and staring coldly at the sea to the east.
The ten warships on the sea were behind, and the densely packed war camp and team classes could not wait to move towards the shore.
Boom boom boom.
A series of dull sounds sounded.
The battleships rushing in front shook for a while and soon came to a creaking halt.
Bah bah bah.
The soldier in the bilge ran up to the deck, sweating profusely, and came to Captain Akita.
"General, the Yunchui people placed rocks or other anti-landing fortifications in the sea. We didn't check for a while and the ship ran aground on the rocks."
Akita was not surprised at all, "Is the bottom of the boat badly damaged?"
"Go back to the general. Because the ship was not going very fast when it hit the rocks, there was only a hole in the bottom of the ship. The damage is not serious. As long as you give the engineers some time to repair it, I believe it will be repaired soon."
Ha ha.
Akita smiled and waved.
"General Doi told us to dock at all costs, and the ship would not be repaired."
"Send the order and keep driving forward. No matter what rocks or anti-landing piles, we will directly hit them and create a safe channel for the brother warships behind."
What?
The soldiers in the bottom cabin were stunned, but the others obeyed Akita's order without hesitation.
Hua Hua Hua.
The densely packed oars set off again.
Kakaka.
Waves of keel groans were heard, and the battle camp-class ship continued to sail westward while trembling.
The engineers who were repairing the ship in the bottom cabin had not expected such an incident.
They only saw a crash, and the hole in front of them suddenly tore several times larger.
The fishy and salty sea water spurted in all of a sudden. The engineers' feet slipped and they were sucked into the sea in the blink of an eye and disappeared.
Akita on the deck didn't know the situation in the bottom cabin, and even if he knew, he didn't care.
"Are you on a shooting range? Once you're in, fire all the crossbow stones on the ship, regardless of the target."
The guard next to him wiped his sweat and said, "General, this place is still far from the shore, and there is a damn westerly wind blowing, which makes the range of our weapons closer, and the ship has to continue to move forward for a while before we can reach it. "
There was just a big hole in the bottom of the ship, and I didn’t know if the battle camp-class ship could still float on the water at that time.
The guard's words had not yet finished.
There was a loud bang.
The already half-sunken ship hit an anti-landing piling again, and the ship came to a complete stop after a sudden shudder.
Hua Hua Hua.
The sailors and soldiers ran from the cabin to the deck one after another, all wet like drowned rats.
The sea water at the end of October was as cold as ice, and when the northwest wind blew, these people suddenly shivered from the cold.
what to do?
Everyone looked at each other.
"Brothers," Akita stood up and pointed heavily at the coast not far away in front of him, "the rich continent is right in front of us. For the sake of Yamato's three million fellow citizens who have nowhere to go, the time has come for us to be loyal to the emperor. .”
"Immediately put down the boats and rafts on the side of the ship. Everyone should put on their weapons and row to the west. They can board as many as they can, and no one is allowed to retreat."
"Even if I die, I will die on the shore in front of me."
"Yes!" Countless voices sounded.
This scene also appeared in many battle camps and team levels near the Akita.
