Chapter 346, nothing happens, and greed is the bane

No one is a fool, the little white lotus just disappeared, and the figure of the dust reappeared in the same place, looking at the direction of the white lotus's disappearance with complicated eyes, after thinking for a long time, after all, it disappeared in place again, and did not immediately catch up.

The county seat of Shanghai wakes up earlier in the morning than the county seat in the interior. As a county town that was born to defend the Japanese invaders, after the Japanese were basically extinct, they did not lose their value, but soon flourished because of overseas trade, including the hometowns of the Japanese invaders.

The courage of Chinese businessmen should never be underestimated, and the pursuit of profit is the common value of all businessmen in the world, even if they have always been Chinese businessmen who have always appeared in front of people as conservative mainland peoples.

Standing on the city wall of Shanghai County, you can see a large seaport from afar, the large and small Chinese-style sailing ships in the harbor are crowded with the harbor, all kinds of people, carriages, shuttles back and forth, so lively!

Lichen was now in front of a rather large fortune ship, watching the ship's boss there majestically oversee the coolies of the docks to deliver goods to the ship.

It's just that Lichen is standing in this kind of environment, which is too conspicuous, and it is not coordinated with the surroundings at all, and it is difficult not to be noticed.

"This Dao Chang'an, don't you know what is going on with the Dao Chief?" The ship boss is not a businessman, as a captain at sea (or a part-time pirate leader), he understands the wind and currents, is familiar with the sea routes, can run the ship, and can suppress a bunch of scum sailors on the ship. This line of work is not inherently something that Sven people can do, so although the boat boss has a respectful attitude, he still speaks very straightforwardly.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Poor Dao wants to go to sea on Your Excellency's sea boat! Lichen glanced at the big ship next to him and replied.

"Ahh Is that the chief going to Fuso? "The boss of the boat is not very surprised, with the lifting of the ban on the sea by the Ming Dynasty, there are more people who go to sea this year, all kinds of people, although there are few Taoist monks, but there are still some.

Lichen nodded and said, "Poor Dao is going to Fusang!" ”

"Daoist, but if you want to go to Fusang to preach, that's right, it's just right to take our boat, my boat doesn't run a few times back and forth in any year, and I can get there with my eyes closed, and there is absolutely no problem with safety. It's just that the group of Fusang people are so fierce that they pull out knives and cut people at every turn, but they have been educated by the Taoist elders and understand that I am a country of etiquette! The boat boss laughed and said, obviously not very good impression of the Japanese (it should be said that the Japanese samurai, the Japanese samurai in this era cut civilians and did not break the law), and there was also a little bit of pride in China, not at all like the Ala Hairen who were flattering in later generations.

"Then please leave it to Your Excellency!" Lichen nodded, took out a piece of silver and handed it to the ship boss as a fare. The ship's boss brightened his eyes and took it with a smile, without the slightest intention of shirking, but his attitude was obviously more enthusiastic than before, and after handing over the task of supervising the moving of goods to his subordinates, he personally led the dust onto the ship.

"If the Taoist wants anything, I will let my cubs make a trip, and our ship will set sail tomorrow. It's just that the sea is windy and rough, and the road has lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, and the gods and goddesses are among the people, but there must be a preparation" The captain walked into the cabin with the dust, found a warehouse that was quite hurried, and opened the doorway.

The cabin is quite clean, although the area is not large, but it has been carefully arranged, it is obviously a VIP room on the ship, as a cargo ship, it is not easy to have such a cabin. The captain can let such a room, obviously quite sincere to the dust.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Thank you, bow of the ship," Lichen said with a smile and a nod.

"That's good, that's good, Dao Chief, you rest, if you need to eat, tell the guy, we can help bring it, and Dao Chang can also go to the restaurant in the port area." The ship's galley will not be used until it is out to sea. You have to wait for me," the boat boss finished before arching his hand and walking away quickly.

Lichen opened the door and sat down quietly on the wooden bed fixed to the ship.

In the evening, the cargo on the ship was finally loaded and unloaded, and the aisle outside the dusty room was also lively.

"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door of Lichen's room, Lichen swept his senses, frowned slightly and walked out of bed, and when he opened the door, he saw several men dressed as businessmen standing outside the door.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! I don't know if there is something wrong with a few people looking for poverty? He asked after bowing slightly.

"Daoist Wan'an, we didn't disturb Daoist Qingxiu!" A businessman standing at the front was obviously the one who took the lead, and he was polite when he saw the dust inquiry, but he didn't really disturb people's consciousness at all, but after glancing at the dust room, he nodded with satisfaction and said: "As the saying goes, if you can cross the same boat for a hundred years, everyone can sit in the same boat." We should help each other. I see that the Taoist chief's room is quite empty, so it is better to share some with our brothers, of course, it will not let the Taoist chief suffer, how about sharing the captain's cabin expenses? ”

After the businessman at the head finished speaking, the two men behind him, who looked quite honest, didn't even ask whether Chen agreed or not, and immediately tried to drill into it from Chen's side in large bags.

Lichen has gained knowledge today, and finally seen what it means to be invisible, anti-guest-oriented, and thicker than the city wall.

Let's not talk about the fact that Chen Xi is not used to squeezing in a small cabin with a group of strangers, so he doesn't wait for Chen to agree, and it is clear that he bullied Chen and a Taoist priest, such a behavior of bullying a lonely "honest man", and Chen will not be happy.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! The poor road is used to being pure, so let's find another place! With a dusty arm, he blocked the two men from the door. Just as he was about to close the door of the cabin, the merchant at the head immediately said with an ugly face: "Dao Chief, monk, how can you not have any compassion at all. Everyone is in the same boat is fate, and they should help each other, how can they be so unkind? ”

"Yes, this Taoist leader is more than convenient, and it is convenient for himself, why should he be so rejecting people thousands of miles away!" A few guys in the back helped out. It was as if there was really something wrong with the dust.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Everyone has their own fate, if a few of them are not enough, they can go to find the bow, the poor love can't help, sorry, sorry! Lichen said sorry in his mouth, but he didn't mean sorry at all, the hand holding the hatch was slightly forced, and the two big men who had already squeezed in half of their bodies were immediately pushed back with a strong force, and before they could react, they fell headlong in the aisle, and then there was a clear sound, and the hatch was finally pulled shut by Chen.

There are all kinds of people in this world. Lichen has seen a lot, but Lichen has always been lazy to deal with them. Since the opening of the sea in the Ming Dynasty and the permission for trade and Chinese people to leave the country, most of the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty will generally leave a small place to carry passengers part-time, and these guys are obviously small businessmen who run the sea, and they can't afford to hire sea ships, so they rent the cargo hold on the ship and borrow the ship to go to sea. It's not that you can't afford to rent a cabin, and it's not that the ship is really full. It's just that I don't know where I heard that Chen went to sea alone to take advantage of them and make their cabins easier.

What is said about apportioning the fare, as long as you enter the dust cabin, you will definitely not mention it, even if the dust turns your face, it is useless.

How good a temper and how much kindness does it have to be to be a good person like the "Holy Mother"? (It is possible to be the White Lotus Mother),

He scolded outside the cabin, but he didn't dare to mess around after all. In this era, there was no royal law on the sea ships. The rules of the bow of the ship are the laws of kings. provoked the bow of the ship, went out to the open sea, and threw it into the sea to feed the fish. Although a few sea-runners were not convinced, they did not dare to really try the rules of the bow.

There was no word all night, but there was often a knock on the door in the middle of the night, and the sound of walking sounded from time to time, obviously those guys were deliberately not letting the dust rest. It was rare for him to meditate with a good temper, and he didn't pay attention to it, but he alarmed the neighbor next door, and after a lesson, no one came to disturb the purity.

When the day dawned, as the trumpets sounded outside, a little official in a green robe proudly handed a document to the bow of the ship, and the bow raised its arms, and the ship was finally ready to go to sea.

Raising the sails and anchoring, the ship was like a big fat duck that had eaten up, ploughing a deep white ditch on the sea, and with the help of the wind, it accelerated little by little and went to the east.

The sea was unusually calm, and the people in the cabin stepped out of the cabin and onto the deck where the sea breeze blew. Lichen originally had no intention of joining in the fun, but it did not prevent the "neighbors" from coming to invite him.

Lichen originally thought that the person in the cabin next door to him was either a businessman or a traveler, so he didn't pay much attention, but he didn't expect it to be a Japanese, or a Japanese who seemed to be quite a status, just look at the clothes on the Japanese samurai and the "little surname" samurai who followed behind him.

At this time, Chinese characters were still basically the official language of all parts of East Asia, and there were obviously many people in various countries who could speak the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty. Yesterday, this Japanese fluently confused the dust in Nanjing official dialect, and it cannot but be said that this Japanese is more like a Chinese than the guy with a slight Sichuan accent in the "dust".

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Dao Chang Wan Fu Jin'an, today the sky is clear, you and I cross the same boat and live next to each other, I have to say that it is fate, if the Taoist does not dislike it, you might as well go outside to swim together? "The Japanese call Yoshika Shimazu, well! There is also a Chinese name called Qin Yijiu, according to this guy's self-introduction, the Shimazu family is descended from the Qin Empress, and this time Dao Daming came to find Daming's partner.

It's just that it's true or not, and I don't bother to care. And the guy who never played games in his previous life, and who has never been indifferent to Hari Ha Han, naturally won't know how famous this guy's family will be in the future...

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Since the good fortune and longevity are invited, the poor Tao has nothing to do" The dust is the first salute, for a Japanese who also knows Taoist etiquette, the dust is still very happy, and it is necessary to follow these Japanese to the deck.

It can be seen that this Japanese has a deep relationship with the owner of this sea ship, and after the dust and his party arrived on the deck, the bow immediately came over with a few sailors, lightly opened an open space, set up a table, and quickly cleaned up a table of wine and food, which was not easy.

"Dao Chief, please!" Shimazu Yoshika's current behavior doesn't want to be Japanese, but it is quite similar to the Ming people.

"I don't know if the Taoist is here to preach?" Yoshika Shimazu asked.

"Yes and no!" Lichen replied. If you can preach, you will not let go of the dust, and if you can't preach, you won't force the dust. Just bring back the fox who forgot to go home.

"Oh!" Shimazu Yoshika slapped his thigh and sighed: "Nowadays, even people in Japan who admire the cultivators of your country have also gone to Mount Tsukuba in the Kanto region to see the power of the ghosts and gods of the Cloud Fox Venerable, I'm afraid that An Pei Qing's name can't be reached!" How can you not yearn for it, but His Holiness is unwilling to give disciples, otherwise he is willing to give up his family name and go to the deep mountains to cultivate. That is the true way of immortals, and it is the supreme glory that can live forever! ”

"Oh!" Dust's eyes flashed. When the Cloud Fox Venerable heard it, it was the naughty fox, and the guy in front of him had actually seen the Cloud Fox, so he couldn't help but say that this was fate! All of a sudden, it made Chen interested.

"In the next special come to the Ming Dynasty, is to admire the Xuanmen righteous way, I hope to be lucky enough to enter the door, but the opportunity is not enough, if the Taoist is not disgusted, I am willing to fund the Taoist chief in my Kyushu to preach the mystery of the Taoist, how about the salvation of sentient beings?" Yoshika Shimazu raised his glass and asked tentatively.

"Your Highness's heart, I have thanked you for it, it's just that everything in the world is fate. If Poor Dao has time, he should go to Kyushu to visit His Highness, but before that, there is still something else to do, and Poor Dao can only thank His Highness for his good intentions" Lichen replied softly.

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. He has always been deeply wary of the Japanese, and he will not promise anything lightly. Even if this matter is not harmful.

Shimazu Yoshika heard Chen's euphemistic answer, looked very disappointed, picked up the folding fan in his hand and sighed and said: "In the next words, every sentence is serious, and I also ask the Taoist to go to Kyushu and his party, and I will sweep him there to wait for the Taoist to come!" ”

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Poor Dao also hopes to have such a day! Lichen smiled, snorted and confused, but suddenly looked up at the sky, and his face changed slightly.

"Dao Chief, have you figured out something?" Shimazu Yoshika saw the appearance of the dust and immediately asked curiously.

"It's nothing, we don't seem to have a safe trip! Blood, we seem to be being targeted," replied disapprehensively.

"Yaga!" Shimazu Yoshika is not as calm as Chen, as soon as he heard Chen's words, he immediately became excited, and blurted out a Japanese scolding, but it seems that he is more excited than afraid!

In this era, the sea has never been peaceful, and a merchant ship walking on the sea may only be targeted - encountering pirates. And it must have been eyed by pirates when he left the port.

"Could it be that there are any treasures on this merchant ship" Chen said secretly in his heart, glancing at the little surname behind Shimazu Yoshika who bowed and retreated, and left in a hurry, his divine sense immediately swept over the cargo ship carefully.

"I see!" Lichen sighed secretly in his heart. This group of maritime merchants really doesn't change!

In the lowest cargo hold of the ship, there were several long wooden crates. The black and heavy copper pipes in the box - that is clearly the standard artillery of the Ming Dynasty!

No wonder Shimazu Yoshika will be on this boat, it turns out that this is for this!
