Ren Wei got on the boat, at the moment he was both hopeful and uneasy, this time Pei Ziyun wrote to him on the boat, saying that he was invited to be a counselor, one hundred taels of silver a year.

Ren Wei thought about it for a few days and agreed, so he boarded the ship.

"Brother Ren has been doing well recently. Pei Ziyun asked, Ren Wei was wearing a green shirt at this time, and laughed: "Thank you for your help that day, the days are not bad." ”

After speaking, he looked at the boat again, there were no guests on the boat, and he was a little surprised: "Brother Pei, why aren't there many guests on this boat?"

Pei Ziyun smiled and waved his hand: "This boat is owned by me personally, and I used it this time in Beijing, and I transferred here to take over my brother." ”

Ren Wei was stunned when he heard this: "How dare you do this." ”

Pei Ziyun smiled: "Forget about others, but you and I intersect, what is this, sail the boat!"

Pei Ziyun gave an order, the boatman pulled up the anchor, set sail, and led Ren Wei to watch the ship: "Look, this is three floors. ”

"The first floor is built on the deck with dining room with kitchen and opposite the tea room. ”

Ren Wei looked up and saw a staircase with a width of one zhang leading through, the railing was exquisitely carved, a few windows were open, and the floor was red lacquered, which could put eight tables of wine banquets, and there was a wine rack in one corner to put wine.

The curtain isolated the tea room, and when I looked over, there was a chessboard in the center of the tea room, and there was a complete set of tea sets on the coffee table around it, as well as soft chairs and a bookcase, and an incense burner in the corner.

Ren Wei was happy when he saw it: "This is a good place to study." ”

"Let's take a look. ”

The inner cabin enters by the entrance, and there are six rooms inside, and one is opened at random, and a bed is placed in it, and the table and cabinet are complete.

"This is a VIP room, you and I can choose whatever you want. ”

"Sailors live in the cabin. ”

"I won't look at the bilge, but I can put some goods. ”

"The new ship I bought this time is eight zhang long and three zhang wide, and it has cost me seven thousand taels. Pei Ziyun explained one by one.

Along the way, Ren Wei looked carefully, the ship was well-made and the wood was hard.

In the end, the two returned to the deck, and looking back, Pei Ziyun pointed to a ship behind him and said, "This is our cargo ship, I am full of goods and sell them to the capital." ”

Hearing this, Ren Wei said: "Brother Pei is really a giant family, which is really enviable. ”

Pei Ziyun laughed: "These are all my hard work, my father died early, my mother was raised with hard work, and I worked hard several times to get to where I am today." ”

When Ren Wei heard this, he was surprised and couldn't believe it.

"Brother Pei, these industries, are you really working hard? I thought you were behind a huge family. Ren Wei said with admiration.

"Haha!" Pei Ziyun laughed, very proud.

"Brother Pei, with such courtesy, there must be something to say. Ren Wei restrained his smile and said.

Pei Ziyun also said solemnly: "There is indeed something to invite Brother Ren, and also invite the tearoom to speak." ”

"Please!"

The two of them entered the tea room, and there were many rare books on the bookcase, and one was placed on the table and half read.

"Serve tea," Pei Ziyun ordered.

"Yes, Childe. He was waiting for Bai Jian to salute

Ren Wei sat down at this time, and put the teacup in front of Ren Wei and Pei Ziyun with Bai Zhuan, Ren Wei lifted the lid of the cup and fanned it gently, only to feel a fragrance on his face.

"Drink tea. Pei Ziyun said.

"Good tea!" Ren Wei took a sip, was silent for a moment, and asked, "Brother Pei, but you want to ask me to be a staff member or subordinate?"

Pei Ziyun nodded: "This is natural, a character like Brother Ren, who doesn't want to invite staff." ”

"Brother Pei praised it falsely, I still want to go further in the imperial examination. Ren Wei pondered for a while and said, taking refuge in King Lu is because King Lu can be awarded an official, and taking refuge in Pei Ziyun does not have this benefit.

Even if it is a real person canonized by the imperial court, the head of Songyunmen, it is not promising.

Pei Ziyun didn't speak immediately, at this time, in November, the wind blew with a slight chill, the boat was open, a river was heading, and the embankment was full of fields.

Pei Ziyun smiled and said, "How can I be virtuous, how can I serve you?"

"I don't hide it, I went to Beijing this time, it is related to the prince, there must be a lot of things, Brother Ren is a great talent, and I am grateful to help me as a counselor. ”

When Ren Wei heard this, he hesitated, and Pei Ziyun smiled again: "Brother Ren's talent, in the future, I will have to be promoted to get the right result, I am not talented, I still have some experience, I am willing to communicate with Brother Ren." ”

Ren Wei thought about these jobs and understood that this was actually the status of Keqing, and sighed: "Since this is the case, I can't shirk - I have seen the son." ”

After dividing the guest of honor and sitting down again, the atmosphere is different.

Pei Ziyun took a booklet: "Actually, these victories, the last time I fought the Japanese invaders, all the public funds were handed over, but there are 200 households and 1,000 acres of land on Jijin Island, in fact, I got it." ”

"And those Japanese ships, which are not suitable for continued use, have been sold. ”

"It was replaced by this new ship and three old merchant ships, followed by one, I went to Beijing on business, and it also explored the way by the way. ”

Ren Wei didn't care, no matter how talented he was, he couldn't surpass the times, this overseas Jijin Island didn't take it to heart, just smiled: "Three merchant ships, maybe three thousand taels a year?"

"Three thousand taels?" Pei Ziyun sneered: "The words of the mainland sea voyage are almost the same, if it is foreign trade and collusion with the capital, one ship will have three thousand taels a year!"

Ren Wei was shocked by this number, and said for a long time: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you deal with these things." ”

Pei Ziyun smiled, this time it is not fake to take two ships to Beijing to open up trade, but what is more important is the hidden gold.

The fact that this gold collection has been excavated in five or six years shows that it is not without clues - it is also true that no matter how strict the matter is, after so many links, there are always rumors.

Although it will not be dedicated to the crown prince, it is looking for death, but it is okay to dig it out yourself.

There is also a hidden thought: "Now the sustenance in the memory of the original owner has been almost found, this former dynasty gold collection, although most of it is gold bars, but there are also a lot of treasures collected by the royal family." ”

Among them, there may be things that the Taoist entrusts. ”

"Now that this merchant ship has unloaded, it will take the opportunity to take it all back, and now I don't believe in anyone - only Liujin Island and the mountain people. ”

There is nothing to say at the moment, after a few days the ship to the sea, Da Xu inherited the system of the previous dynasty, and the water transport was mainly by sea, supplemented by river and land transport.

In fact, it is by the coast, both of them read, occasionally play chess, for Ren Wei, this life is quite luxurious, the pillows are all well-prepared, drinking wine and wine, the books read are very systematic and neat, there are questions, a little inquiry, Pei Ziyun immediately pointed out, which immediately made Ren Wei suddenly.

Sometimes Ren Wei is tired of studying, so he stands on the bow of the boat, and sees the sea stretching and birds skimming the water, such a life seems to be in the blink of an eye, and a month has passed.

December

On the deck of the ship, Ren Wei followed Pei Ziyun's side, there was some snow and rain in the sky, both of them were holding an umbrella, some wind was blowing, and the sea smelled fishy.

"Childe is really amazing, if I had this insight back then, I wouldn't have missed it several times. Ren Wei said with some loneliness: "Now the mouth is suddenly open, but I am also old, I am forty-one years old this year, I am afraid that even if I go to the examination room, I may not win." ”

"If you don't win this session, will it be possible to wait until forty-seven or eight?"

"I'm just a guest at Childe's house. ”

"Brother Ren's talent is not bound by reading, and now he has pointed out the tricks, and he will be proud of the examination room - look, I have arrived at the dock, and now I have arrived in the capital. Pei Ziyun said.

"Yes, this ship has saved a lot of hardship. Ren Wei smiled bitterly, and didn't say much about the examination room, just sighed.

When I got to the pier, it was dark, the sleet sky was falling, lanterns were lit everywhere, boats were moored everywhere in the water, and the bustling crowd was endless.

The soldiers are all patrolling in their robes, and when they get closer, they can see that these soldiers are wearing thickened cotton jackets, Pei Ziyun took Ren Weiyi and others ashore, abandoned the boat and got into the car, and arrived at one place along the road, only feeling that the wind was cold and biting along the way, and the wharf was different in the twilight, and the lively capital was a little deserted under the snow.

The ox cart stopped in front of a mansion and was locked at this time, and Bai San Kitchen hurriedly opened the door and began to clean it.

There was a big tree in the courtyard of the house, and a Taoist followed behind it.

"I bought this house back then, but it had to be cleaned, and I left Bai San Kitchen and Bai Pressed to clean it - Cheng An, you protect Mr. Ren!" Pei Ziyun said.

"Yes, sir. "Follow the Taoist on one side.

"I still have something to deal with immediately, Brother Ren, it's up to you to deal with this merchant cargo next. Pei Ziyun said with a smile.

In this era, there is no discrimination against commercial goods, and Ren Wei didn't care about it, so he sent Pei Ziyun out and took a deep breath: "Please clean up with me, and we will check in tonight." ”

"Cheng An, please buy some quilts, oil lamps, candles, and then go buy ingredients and prepare dinner, you can take the car. ”

Not to mention Ren Wei, Pei Ziyun returned to the dock by car, and when he arrived on the new ship, He Qingqing greeted him, and at this time there were only He Qingqing and the mountain people who followed him, as well as a few sailors on the boat.

These mountain people were different from usual, all of them were dressed in black, with a murderous aura on their bodies, and long knives at their waists, and their momentum was amazing.

"Lu Menjun visited the young master. The mountain people bowed down together.

Pei Ziyun's eyes swept over, and he secretly sighed in his heart, these were the seeds of the high priest back then, although they were destroyed, they finally retained a trace.

After cultivation, these people have all regained their health and martial prowess, and at this time they are finally available.

If you were in Han China, this person would be assimilated no matter what, but if you get Liujin Island, there is a kind of change, full of vitality.

In this way, I can rest assured, and wave my hand at the next moment: "Set sail and go to Shigu Island." ”

"Yes, Childe. He Qingqing instructed the boatmen: "Raise the sails and start the boat." ”

The sails were moving, and except for the sailors, twenty mountain people, all fierce, silently patrolled the deck, accompanied by rhythmic footsteps, most of their faces were expressionless, and their long knives were in their hands, shining in the firelight.
