Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 150 The Mid-Autumn Moon Appreciation
The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner for Zhao Xin and others was eaten on the Thunder God.Because the canteens of the freighter are all next to the restaurant, Liu Sheng and others went to the kitchen to show their skills in the afternoon.

Because Beihai Town is close to the sea and forest, fish, shrimp and game are very rich, and the only thing that is not enough is vegetables.Therefore, fish, shrimp and meat account for a large proportion of the dishes for today's dinner.

At the beginning of summer, Chen Qingsong planted a lot of radishes, cucumbers and tomatoes in the [-]-acre wasteland near the town.The refugees also organize to go to the forest to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables in their free time, which solves the problem of insufficient vegetables in summer and autumn.

But in winter, we can only build vegetable greenhouses.Fortunately, although Zhang Bo, a migrant worker, is a welder, he also worked in a greenhouse when he was farming at home. He has some experience and can help a lot.Considering the early winter in the outer northeast and the extremely cold winter climate, Chen Qingsong has already started to prepare for the construction of the greenhouse after reviewing some materials.

It is rare for everyone to get together to eat together, but after this meal, everyone drank a bit too much.During the meeting, Director Liu made a request to Zhao Xin without hesitation.

"Mr. Zhao, you said that everyone has been busy for more than half a year, day and night, should you give us some bonuses?"

Zhao Xin also drank a lot, blushing and agreed without even thinking about it: "Okay! No problem, an extra three months salary at the end of the year as a bonus."

As soon as this was said, everyone laughed.Everyone hasn't spent money for more than half a year, and now when it comes to salary, they feel far away from themselves.

After dinner, a group of people hugged each other and got on the bow of the boat to watch the moon.It was dark now, and a full moon rose from the east.Elderly people, adults, and children from various families in Beihai Town also took their snacks and came to the seaside to make grass balls to occupy the seats in advance, eating dumplings and admiring the moon.

Shen Xuan helped the pregnant Oginoto (Luyun, Oginoto is her real name) to the upper deck of the yacht, and the two of them joined hands together to pray for the bright moon, hoping that Shen Jingdan and the baby in her belly would be safe.

Oginodo is pregnant with a son, this is what Liu Siting told them yesterday when she had a B-ultrasound examination on her.When Oginodo saw that he was finally pregnant with a baby boy for the Shen family, he burst into tears with excitement.

Zhao Xin, a good-for-nothing, sat on the deck for a while, and was blown by the sea breeze, and soon his stomach began to churn.This fellow supported the low mast and began to vomit.

Oginodo, who was chatting happily with Shen Xuan, suddenly heard that there was no movement around him, and turned his head to see that Shen Xuan was looking worriedly at a guy who was vomiting on the Thor.

"Why, are you worried? The man is just drunk, he will be fine tomorrow."

"I remember he said that he can't drink well." Shen Xuan responded to the other party in a low voice.

"You have to be so worried. Next time the master comes, I will ask Mr. Zhao to propose marriage to your father?" Oginoto asked with a smile.

"Auntie was joking. Master Zhao, who is like a fairy, would fall in love with a down-and-out family like me." Shen Xuan lowered her head in embarrassment, her face flushed.

"Your words are too strange. As far as your original background is concerned, it is also a scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River. Besides, the master accepted you as a righteous daughter. This Shen family is also a rich man in Yangzhou!"

Shen Xuan couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this. It seems that her adoptive father Shen Jingdan didn't tell the truth to Oginoto.As far as Shen Jingdan's net worth is concerned, how can it be considered in Yangzhou!The only people in Yangzhou who can be called rich are salt merchants, and the rest are just middle-class wealthy families.

Due to her pregnancy, Ogido's temper became a bit pungent, and she continued without explanation: "You don't need to worry about this matter, I will talk to that Zhao Xin tomorrow."

"Ah?! Auntie, you don't know..." Shen Xuan became anxious when she heard this, and quickly explained to Ogitodo.

Since Oginodo came to Beihai Town, except for going to the clinic to see Liu Siting, he rarely communicates with others.One is that she is a girl, so she can't join people like Zhao Xin if she has nothing to do; the other is that the islanders in Beihai Town are all farmers.Ever since Ogido became pregnant with Shen Jingdan's child, her mentality has changed unknowingly, and she seems to regard herself as the wife of a wealthy businessman.

And because Shen Xuan lived in seclusion for many years to avoid disasters, she read a lot of books when she was free, and she thought more about things than ordinary women.Ever since she came to Beihai Town, especially after going to school as a literacy teacher, she felt that Zhao Xin and his group were unfathomable.

She prides herself on reading more books than the average scholar, but she has never seen any ancient books about the endless mechanisms and equipment on Beihai Town and the Thunder God.Not only her, even Shen Jingdan and Lao Huang had never heard of it.

And the simplified characters and pinyin.
Zhao Xin felt like she was separated by a thick layer of veil.Who the hell is he? !

Many children in the school said that people like Zhao Xin came from the fairy world, but this was only what they heard from their parents at home. No one had seen the specific "fairy" method.

From ordinary conversations, Shen Xuan found that people like Zhao Xin disdain the Qing Dynasty very much, and sometimes even the emperor scolded them without any scruples.Especially Liu Siting, who sometimes made fun of the emperor!These words made Shen Xuan startled.That's the emperor, the real dragon emperor!
However, Shen Xuan also found that people like Zhao Xin were very kind to the refugees from the island countries under his command.During the time Shen Xuan came to Beihai Town, she had never seen people like Zhao Xin beat and scold anyone for no reason.I didn't snatch any woman just because she was good-looking.

How can there be such a government in the world?

She remembered what her father had said in private, that these people seemed to be fighting for world hegemony!

But she looked at the usual behavior of people like Zhao Xin.Ever since they defeated Marshal Fu's troops last time, these people have done nothing except let the refugees build a road leading to the western seaport.Every day is either teaching or reclaiming wasteland. A while ago, although I went to the big island in the southeast to fight against the Matsumae clan, they were barbarians!Could it be that to fight against barbarians is to fight for world hegemony?Shen Xuan couldn't understand.

At this time, on the deck of the Thunder God, several traversers also raised the same question.

"Zhao Xin, we have been here for so long. Can you tell us today, what do you want to do in this time and space in the eighteenth century?"

Zhao Xin had almost vomited at this time, and drank another half bowl of hangover soup cooked by Chen Qingsong with bean sprouts and garlic, which made his stomach feel better.After hearing Hong Tao's question, he answered casually, "Save someone."

"Just to save people? Do you think we can believe this?" Hong Tao and his wife, Liu Zheng and others said disdainfully.

"At the beginning, I really didn't think so much. I want to say that I have a conscience, do you believe me?"

Zhao Xin then gave a general account of his initial mental journey. It was because of his introversion after getting rich, and the idea of ​​helping him to make himself feel at ease, but who knew that the more he helped, the deeper he fell.

"Then why don't you go to China to do it? Do you have to help the islanders?!" Liu Zheng also drank a little too much today.After hearing Zhao Xin's explanation, he pointed to Zhao Xin's nose in dissatisfaction and said.

"Brother, do you think we can appear in today's Qing Dynasty?" Zhao Xin explained. "You've seen those captives too. Not to mention that I'm going to make myself a haircut with a money mouse tail, I can't pass the level of speech and demeanor alone."

In fact, the reason Zhao Xin said was too simple.If a modern person appeared alone in the Qing Dynasty during the Qianlong period, it would be difficult to move an inch.Not to mention the strict Baojia system in the countryside, just those bridge fences, water fences, and road fences are difficult to pass.

(Speaking of which, some people may say that you can take a detour. But you always have to eat and stay? You said I have silver. Sorry, no one uses silver in ordinary market transactions, and they are all made of money. What needs to be explained is, The Qianlong period was the peak of the Baojia system in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.)
Chen Qingsong interjected: "Xiao Liu, you may not understand. The people in the interior under the Manchu Qing rule would never take in a foreigner with unknown origin. However, it is precisely because we brought back Shen Jingdan and Huang Maocai from Nagasaki, Moreover, these two people have such close business ties with us at present, so we can enter the Manchu ruled area with their help."

"If you want me to say, the islanders love to die, and the account of World War II has not yet been settled!" Liu Zheng said angrily.

Zhao Xin said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will get back what we owe. If the future government reneges on debts, we will ask their ancestors for it."

"It's only 15 taels of gold coins, it's far away!"

But Liu Sheng interjected: "I agree, that amount of money is far from enough. But you can't spread your grievances on these people who have starved to death in history, right? If it weren't for Zhao Xin, the [-] refugees in Beihai Town Some of them are hard to survive; what do these people have to do with future devils?"

Liu Zheng anxiously argued with a white face: "Which eye of yours saw that I vented my anger on these refugees?!"

Seeing that Zhao Xin was in a hurry, he quickly persuaded him: "Don't worry, don't make noise, don't you want to save the disaster victims of the Qing Dynasty? It will be there soon. But Liu Zheng, if you want to go around the land of the Qing Dynasty, You have to shave your head and wear a disgusting fake braid."

"Ah?" Liu Zheng touched his "beautiful hair" that was in full bloom, and fell into a tangle.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Shave it! I can keep it when I come back."
