Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation
Chapter 207 The miners arrived and Qin Dafu’s choice.
When the Japanese pirates on the island set off, Zhu Changming and his party had already successfully arrived at the dock outside the city of Nando from Jiujiang Prefecture.
The prosperous scene of the secondary capital was displayed before everyone's eyes. Even if it was just the tip of the iceberg like the dock, it was enough to cause a huge shock to the miners in Jiujiang Prefecture.
Seeing the porters coming and going on the dock, many miners couldn't help but look forward to the future. They felt that Nandu had a large population and a large place with many jobs, and they would definitely be able to find a good way out here.
As for the gods' orders...the gods were so kind to poor people like them, so how could they care about them making a living on their own?
Hearing these whispers, Zhu Changming frowned slightly:
"These people, have they forgotten the instructions of the gods?"
Along the way, Geng Daliang, who worked with him, was not in a hurry:
"Don't worry, Boss. Only some people are uneasy. Most of them still remember the kindness and instructions of the gods."
"Those with uneasy minds will naturally behave themselves if we ask them to get off the ship and see the world."
As a peddler, he traveled all over the country and heard a lot of things.
Naturally, I know what it means that “it’s not easy to find a big house in Beijing”.
He told Zhu Changming about some of his experiences and speculations, and Zhu Changming's expression gradually relaxed.
"In that case, let's stay at the port for a day or two. When everyone is united, we can go find the wealthy businessman named Qin."
"Lest our people disobey orders and cause trouble to others, we would be failing the gods' trust."
So, they temporarily stopped the ship at the Nandu Port, just like they did in the past when they went to the ship to purchase.
"Brothers, accommodation in a megacity like Nandu must be very expensive. Before I find the wealthy businessman named Qin, everyone will stay on the boat. However, if you want to go to the dock to see the world, you can go, but it's best to go in groups to avoid getting separated."
After hearing this, those who wanted to make a living on their own boldly went to the dock to inquire about the situation.
However, after most of the day passed and it was evening, everyone stopped working.
Some people found after a trip that the prices in Nandu City were almost two or three times that of Jiujiang.
There were many gangs on the docks, and they often fought to the point of bloodshed over business.
In addition, there were yamen runners who checked documents and household registrations everywhere. Those who did not have documents or household registrations were all labeled as vagrants. The lighter punishment was expelling from the city, and the heavier punishment was imprisonment.
There was a group of them who happened to encounter yamen runners checking household registration documents and arresting people when they went out. They were so scared that they ran back to their own boats.
Later, the yamen runners also came to their ship. Zhu Changming took the initiative to take the token of Duke Dingguo's Mansion and went out to pay the docking fee. The yamen runners then did not ask about the affairs of the ship anymore.
Those who had other plans no longer had any thoughts after seeing what they had seen for most of the day.
I had originally planned to follow the arrangements of the gods, and I was very grateful.
If the gods had not already arranged a way out for them, they would have encountered countless hardships as they were wandering around in an unfamiliar place without any identification documents.
Seeing that the miners had no other intentions, Zhu Changming took two people and went into the city with the token to inquire about Qin Dafu's residence.
It took two full days to travel from the west to the east of the city, and finally we found the outside of the magnificent Qin residence.
After showing the token of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, Zhu Changming and his two entourage were quickly invited into the house.
"The master is out on business. We will go and invite you now. Please wait here."
Although they had to wait, the servants in the house were very polite and treated them to tea, snacks, and delicious food.
Not only were the snacks extremely delicious, but even the cups, plates and bowls were the most exquisite they had ever seen.
In addition, when they entered the house earlier, they saw that all the houses were luxurious and grand, and the servants were all well-dressed and behaved in a very proper and dignified manner. Zhu Changming and the two miners who accompanied him felt less and less confident as they sat there.
"The master is back."
Qin Dafu was originally patrolling the store outside, but when he heard that someone from the Duke Dingguo's Mansion was looking for him, he hurried back.
When he walked into the flower hall, he saw that these visitors who claimed to be servants of Duke Dingguo's mansion were actually wearing washed-out tights and were quite reserved in their words and actions, which made him suspicious of their identities.
The Duke Dingguo's Mansion is one of the most powerful families in the southern capital, and many of the servants there are arrogant and it is rare to see such behavior.
Qin Dafu has always been cautious in doing things.
Although the Qin family now enjoys great respect among the dignitaries in Southern Capital City due to their status as the number one believer in Cihang Temple, he is not complacent about it.
Even when dealing with the servants in the mansion, he was still as humble and polite as before.
Therefore, despite his doubts, Qin Dafu remained very polite:
"My name is Qin Dafu. May I ask what advice you have for me?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Changming quickly stood up and made an awkward hand-holding gesture, then poured out his purpose:
"I am Zhu Changming, sent by the gods to come to you. The token of Duke Dingguo's Mansion was also given by the gods. The gods said that you will understand after reading the letter."
When Qin Dafu heard the word "immortal", his heart was immediately moved.
Could it be...
He took the letter and took a look, and it was just as he had guessed.
However, the more I read the contents of the letter, the more frightened I became.
The master of the temple actually went to Jiangxi Province and took in more than 400 miners there.
In the letter, he also instructed him to find a safe place to settle these people, and then send a message to Taoist Master Hui'an, asking her to come and train this group of people.
Stockpiling military force is extremely sensitive at any time.
Master...what on earth do you want to do?
Even though he was frightened, such speculation only lasted for a short moment. Qin Dafu put away his distracting thoughts and began to think about where to appropriately house the more than 400 miners.
The fact that the temple master could entrust such an important matter to the Qin family shows his trust in the Qin family.
How could he betray this trust?
What's more, no matter what the viewer wants to do.
The master's abilities and means as well as his protection of his loyal followers are worth the risk of everything.
"I wish you a rest, young master. I will take you to your place after discussing with my wife."
Having said that, he went into the inner courtyard to discuss with Madam Qin where it would be suitable to accommodate these people.
When Mrs. Qin heard that this was the abbot's order, she took it very seriously.
Now that she is in the southern capital city, she has become a well-known figure among the powerful and influential.
If there were no master of the temple, she would not have the glory and status she has today.
More importantly, if it weren’t for the temple master, how could Zhenniang have gotten rid of her teacher and friend Qiao so easily and gained a new life.
Her gratitude to the temple master could not be expressed in words. Asking her to accommodate four or five hundred people was nothing.
After reviewing the family's assets, Madam Qin said:
"It's too far away for the master to use these people in the future. Master, how about putting them in the farm that Master Yan gave us?"
"I originally planned to tidy up the farm and plant some fine flowers and fruits. It would be more promising than renting it out. So it just so happens that there are no farmers farming there now."
Qin Dafu recalled that last year the Yan family was punished by the temple master for causing trouble for the Qin family, and they were compensated with a farm outside the city of Nandu, which was about 600 to 700 acres in size.
Now that there are no tenants, it is a very suitable place.
When it came to Cihang Temple, the couple had totally ignored the value of the hundreds of acres of fertile land on the outskirts of Nando City, and they decided without hesitation to give them to the temple master for use.
"I'll go to the dock and lead those people to the farm. Madam, you can immediately have someone pack some food, clothing and daily necessities and send them over."
After the two men had discussed the matter, Qin Dafu took some followers and went to the dock in the west of the city with Zhu Changming.
*
A group of more than 400 people quickly got off the boat at the call of Zhu Changming.
Not long after getting off the boat, I encountered yamen runners who were checking my household registration documents.
The miners immediately felt guilty and frightened.
You know, none of them have any documents or household registration.
The rules in Nandu City are so strict.
It would be terrible if I were discovered by the bailiffs and thrown into prison.
However, these yamen runners who were ferocious to other businessmen and dock workers all greeted Master Qin with smiles.
When they learned that they were the staff members that Master Qin was going to set up for the escort agency, they let them go without even asking any questions.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing them so trembling, Qin Dafu understood what was going on. He said with a profound smile:
"There is no need to be so frightened. The people you are following are not ordinary people."
"Qin can assure you that as long as everyone obeys your orders to follow that person, no one in this Nandu City will dare to bully you!"
Since the master of the temple wants to train these people into a decent military force, he needs them to fear both power and virtue.
When the time is right, he will certainly help to give them a warning and admonishment.
Everyone, including Zhu Changming, was shocked when they heard this.
Having witnessed Mr. Qin's status and wealth in the southern capital, they believed his words without a doubt.
Only then did I realize that although immortals are hermits, they are not idle wandering creatures.
Even in this city of Southern Capital where powerful people abound, he is a notable figure.
It is their honor to be recruited by such a big man, but at the same time, they cannot afford to be negligent or neglectful in the slightest.
