When he returned to Songjiang, Zhao Rui wanted to still live in her shop, but Yu Ren insisted on letting her move into the Shen Mansion. The Shen family experienced a lot this year. First, the lady ran away, then the master was seriously ill, and then the business was robbed, and finally it was so troubled that the officers and soldiers surrounded the family.

Fortunately, Yu Ren resolved these problems one by one, which also allowed him to establish an irreplaceable position in the Shen family.

At this time, when Yu Ren returned to his house, the whole mansion was full of joy. Originally, Cao An felt that the Shen family's business was fluctuating greatly this year, so he bought the Xu family's weaving house. The rice shop followed Yu Ren's wishes and had just bought a large amount of rice, and he still owed tens of thousands of taels of silver outside. In addition, Yu Ren had never come back. It seemed that he might not come back even during the Chinese New Year, so he planned to have a simple meal this year.

But now Yu Ren suddenly came back, and Shen Minghang's illness improved a lot than before. Everyone said that they should have a good New Year. Cao An had to hurry to prepare various New Year goods again.

In fact, everyone insisted on making this New Year more lively, mainly because they were worried that Shen Minghang was sad when he remembered his daughter; another way, they saw Yu Ren bringing Zhao Rui back. Although the two did not live in the same room, when Yu Ren introduced them to everyone, he only said that Zhao Rui was his friend. But these servants all believed that this gentle and beautiful woman must be their young lady.

When the new lady first came, she naturally couldn't be too deserted during the New Year.

In this way, Cao An was busy again. Yu Renze planned to send red envelopes for the New Year with Cai Guanfang at home. Although the money was insufficient this year, there were too many things, and the servants suffered a lot. Yu Ren planned to give each of them more money.

But the money on hand was really insufficient, which made Yu Ren worry again. Fortunately, he actually received 20,000 taels of silver from Xu Xinsu the next day. Xu Xinsu was a smart person, and he also knew that Yu Ren spent a lot of money on the Shen family for him this time. He also heard from his daughter that in order to prevent the officers and soldiers from surrounding the island for too long, Yu Ren asked the shopkeeper to borrow silver from the money shop to buy a large amount of new rice.

Xu Xinsu thought that Yu Ren might be short of money during the New Year, so she quickly sent someone 20,000 taels of silver first. She also asked someone to bring a message to the island if the money was not enough.

Yu Ren was very happy to receive this batch of silver. This was a timely help! Without this batch of silver, he really didn't know how to live this year! Of course, he could also speak to Zhao Rui and borrow some from their money shop first. But there was no way out until the end, and Yu Ren didn't want to speak. Now, all the problems have been solved.

After the New Year at the Shen family, Yu Ren wanted to wait for the Lantern Festival before returning to Nansha. However, on the tenth day of the lunar month, Xu Xinsu sent someone to send a letter to ask him to go back to the island. After listening to Xu Xinsu's tone, things seemed to be quite urgent. Yu Ren didn't know what happened, so he packed up his things overnight and hurriedly explained the affairs of the family. Then he greeted Zhao Rui and rushed to Nansha Island.

As soon as he got on the island, Yu Ren heard that Liu Qiang and the others had a conflict with Liu Long and almost started fighting. Yu Ren was a little overwhelmed when he heard about this. He really wanted to call Liu Qiang to scold him. Before leaving, he specifically told him to restrain his subordinates and try his best to avoid Liu Long's limelight. However, he took the lead in causing trouble.

Yu Ren knew that on Nansha Island, there are actually two forces, old and new. The old side is mainly Xu Xinsu's original old subordinates, and the new force is the group of people from the Li family he brought. Although the people from the Li family had long been publicly announced by Yu Ren to officially join the Xu family and become part of the Xu family. However, these people still regarded Yu Ren as the boss in private and did not buy into the Xu family's leaders.

It's okay to Xu Xinsu and Xu Hai, but they don't catch a cold at all for Liu Long.

Yu Ren did not go to Xu Xinsu first, but went to Liu Qiang and Qu Jing first. Only then did he realize that Qu Jing had nothing to do on the island for the New Year, so he went back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, but he had not come back yet.

"What the hell is going on?" Yu Ren asked as soon as he saw Liu Qiang.

Of course, Liu Qiang knew what Yu Ren was asking about. At this time, he calmed down. He remembered Yu Ren's advice before leaving, and knew that he could not escape the scolding. He had to honestly tell the story of the matter.

It turned out that the cause of the matter was actually very simple. Just because of the Chinese New Year, Xu Xinsu wanted to make everyone lively, especially the old Li family members brought by Yu Ren celebrated the New Year with him for the first time. So Xu Xinsu held a lot of small activities during this period, such as horse racing, arrow competitions, martial arts competitions, wrestling and other competitions. They also deliberately divided them into several groups and set up a lot of small prizes.

But unexpectedly, it was these small games that caused the dozens of people led by Liu Qiang to have conflicts with the more than ten people led by Liu Long. At first, it was just a quarrel, but later it turned into a massacre in public. Fortunately, Xu Xinsu was present at the time and stopped them in time, so the situation did not expand. Otherwise, it might have turned into a melee of hundreds of people.

Yu Ren understood the situation and felt relieved. He first called Liu Qiang and a few brothers who were making trouble, scolded him, and then punished them for not leaving the house for no reason, and could only read at home. He was not allowed to participate in activities outside.

After saying that, Yu Ren hurried to Xu Xinsu again. Xu Xinsu heard that he was back and had already waited for him at home. As soon as he met, Yu Ren quickly apologized to Xu Xinsu on behalf of Liu Qiang.

Xu Xinsu hurriedly stopped Yu Ren, "These are just small matters. Brothers are all bloody men. It's no big deal if you fight occasionally. Don't blame them too much.

I'm calling you here this time, not for this matter, but for another more important thing to discuss with you."

After saying that, Xu Xinsu took Yu Ren and walked out, asking his family to lead two horses.

"I'll take you to see something." After saying that, Xu Xinsu turned over and hugged her horse.

Yu Ren didn't know what medicine was selling in Xu Xinsu's gourd, so he could only ride a horse and follow him.

The two walked all the way to the beach.

Soon he arrived at the largest pier on Nansha Island. Yu Ren saw a large ship parked on the pier from afar. This was a big ship he had never seen since he came to the Ming Dynasty. It had three floors in total and the hull was more than 40 meters long. It was larger than all the ships he had seen before.

Yu Ren was very surprised, "Where did this ship come from?"

Xu Xinsu said proudly, "I asked Eunuch Sun to help me buy it from the naval camp in the capital. How about it? It's big enough! This is the largest specification in the lucky boat. One boat can carry three or four hundred people! I spent more than 10,000 taels of silver for this boat! Eunuch Sun also promised me to help me get eight No. 2 boats, which are only one level smaller than this boat. The remaining boats will arrive soon.

With these nine ships, can we rush across the East China Sea?"

Yu Ren didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to say this. Because Li Ying's big defeat just now made Yu Ren know that the Western fleet was already very strong at this time. If it were Liu Qiang and Qu Jing's statement, their large warships would probably be much larger than this lucky ship.

"If you just fight pirates in the country, it will definitely not be a problem."

Xu Xinsu naturally understood Yu Ren's words. "I heard that the court had issued an order to recruit the naval forces under Fujian, Zhejiang and Lord Xiong from the army heading north to Laideng to prevent the Jurchens.

We have just been recruited by the imperial court, so we should not have to go there. In this way, we can take the opportunity to take people south, take back the island that Niece Ying lost before, and regain the maritime business in Zhejiang and Fujian. What does Nephew Yu think of this trick?"

"I'm afraid that all the islands will be stationed. We can't fight at that time, either," Yu Ren said.

"Don't worry about this. I have heard from Eunuch Sun. The emperor and the cabinet believe that the Li family and our forces have been completely eliminated under this attack, so they are very relieved. Since the navy retreated north, all the courts on the islands far away from the land retreated, because there were no warships and supply ships. The soldiers sent on the island could not get supply and security guarantees.

We can just send people and boats to pick up ready-made cheapness. Which islands do you think we should send people to occupy?"

Yu Ren was a little surprised, "Is this news from the boss accurate?"

"It's true. I have sent someone to inquire. These officers and soldiers will be transferred north after the New Year, and the garrisons on various islands have already withdrawn to the land before the New Year."

Yu Ren was surprised. "So quickly?"
