Chapter Fifty-Six: Lin Gongzi Enters the Port
It's time to give Orihiko Chong's son a serious name. Collecting! You can put it directly in a book review. (Fold has two sons and one daughter)
――――――――――――――――――
When Lin Ling came to Jinmen, the entire port had already fallen into a state of waiting. At first, the arrival of this young man did not attract too many people's attention, although Lin Ling, who was dressed in Confucian scarves and Confucian clothes, looked so personable in the merchants, but the peddlers and pawns of the entire dock were not interested in him at all. Now they are concerned only about two things: one is money, and the other is food! The former is the purpose of their visit to Jinmen, but the latter is the biggest problem that plagues them at the moment.
Lin Ling quietly disappeared in the crowd under the guidance of an old man, and it was not until the next day that the incident of "hooking and breaking the rice bag" occurred on the dock - of course, it was not an accident, but a plan with ulterior motives.
By the time everyone knew that the two ships were filled with the life-saving food they urgently needed, Lin Ling, who was in control of these life-saving foods, had already disappeared from everyone's field of vision.
After another two days, Lin Ling came to a separate garden in the west of Jinmen City without anyone knowing. If this villa is in Quanzhou, it can only be regarded as a house in the upper middle range, but in Jinmen, where there is a shortage of houses, the rent of this villa for a day is enough for a middle-sized family to live in Jiangnan for a month.
Outside the garden, Huang Jing, the director of the Huang family in Jinmen, was waiting with a smile, and when he saw Lin Ling, he hurriedly walked up and greeted: "Lin Dashao, are you still used to the sea breeze blowing north?" ”
Lin Ling smiled: "To the north and to the south, there is actually no difference. ”
When these two businessmen stood together, they looked different: Huang Jing was clearly an old fox with good hair, but Lin Ling was very thin, and even a little weak, not at all like a man who often went to sea.
The two entered the door together, and a banquet was already set up in the hall, but there were only four dishes and one soup on the table, and a pot of turbid wine. Huang Jing said: "It's really neglectful to treat guests like this. It's just that now Jinmen is very short of food, and although we can't starve, the seven generals who control Jinmen are extremely disgusted with wasting food. There are only two people at this table, Lin Dashao and Huang, if it is too arranged, I am afraid that it will attract his jealousy when it enters the ears of the seven generals. ”
Lin Ling said lightly: "Uncle Huang is too polite. My father doesn't like luxury by nature, and I eat more easily at home than that. ”
Huang Jing said: "Lin's family style, who in Quanzhou doesn't admire?" Mr. Lin is rich and courteous, which is certainly admirable. And Lin Dashao has always lived in a simple place, and this time he is willing to brave the wind and waves to come north, and he is even more face-saving to someone who is enough! Huang someone toasts you! ”
Lin Ling smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Huang has brought the Qilin family a good way to make money, and we should be thanked." "It's a glass of wine. The two ate and drank, chatted, and gradually turned to the topic. Huang Jing said: "Lin Dashao has been coming to Jinmen for two days, what do you think of this place?" ”
Lin Ling said: "Compared to Quanzhou, that's still far behind!" ”
Huang Jing smiled slightly and said, "Of course!" Our Quanzhou is backed by the Great Song Dynasty and faces the sea - that is the foundation accumulated for thousands of years, how can this Tianjin gate be compared? At the moment, it is only because the seven generals have some strange goods in their hands. ”
Lin Ling shook her head and said, "That's not the case!" I think that although the architecture of Jinmen is still crude, that is also because of its short time. When it comes to the subtlety of the business regulation system, Quanzhou Bosi is really inferior! Not to mention anything else, even the book "Thirty-six Prohibitions of the Law" that Uncle Huang preached on your behalf is not something that ordinary people can write. ”
Huang Jing said: "I didn't expect Lin Dashao to speak so highly of this little book. ”
"It's not me who is highly evaluated, it's my father." Lin Ling said: "This time, Uncle Huang Lu invited me to go north, although my family is very gracious, but if it weren't for my father's optimism about this Jinmen Port, he wouldn't have sent me here." But unlike others, my father's interest in war horses and glass is actually not very great, my Lin family has Nanyang all the way to the merchants, as long as Mazu blesses, everything will be smooth, enough to ensure that my Lin family has no worries about wealth and rice. Therefore, after receiving Uncle Huang's letter, my father and his old man were only ready to let my cousin come at first. But then I opened the small book that Uncle Huang attached to the letter, and I was moved after only reading two lines. At that time, I stood by him, and when I saw his old man finish reading the first chapter, he sighed, saying that this book showed a lot of indescribable business experience in his heart in just a few sentences! After reading the other chapters, the more I read, the more I admired, and immediately changed my mind, and asked me to put down other things at hand, go north, and ask the great sage who wrote this book on behalf of his old man. ”
Lin Ling's father, Lin Heng, had a high reputation among Quanzhou merchants, so Huang Jing was surprised to hear that he held this little book in such high esteem.
Lin Ling asked again, "Uncle Huang, is this booklet really made by the Seventh General?" ”
Huang Jing said: "It's not him, who else can there be!" It is said that this Seven General is the first genius in Daikin. I have been received by him twice, and he is indeed a very powerful person. Not only are he proficient in poetry, books, and history, but he also knows a lot about overseas affairs. There are some things that I don't even know! For example, some strange customs of the Nanyang Islands, we have seen them before but thought they were strange. The Seventh General was able to tell the origin of these customs, and as I listened, I felt that they were not made up out of thin air. ”
Lin Lingqi said: "It's not strange that he understands the scriptures and epics, how can he also know these overseas and exotic things?" Could it be that he has also been to sea? ”
Huang Jing said: "No." According to the Seven Generals, he knew these in books. ”
"On the books?" Lin Ling was even more surprised: "My family collects all kinds of books on navigation outside the territory, but I have never seen anyone who can really analyze the origin of overseas customs." ”
Huang Jing said: "Do you suspect that this Seventh General can't boast? That's what I thought at the beginning. However, when I talked to him about some specialties of the South Seas, he casually said that we had only seen many flowers, birds, fish and insects, but he could name them. There are also products of the South Seas, and the distance of the sea route, he can tell an outline! Lin Dashao is his own person, and I'm not afraid of your jokes. The last time the Seventh General asked me to do something, I was afraid that the sea route was too far away, and I was afraid that it would take ten years to go back and forth. When he heard this, he was furious, and took out a map of the sea and land, on which the locations of Ma Yi and Zhancheng were clearly marked. I have never seen such a clear chart! I was so scared that I couldn't defend myself. But fortunately, the seventh general did not blame, but from then on I made up my mind and did not dare to lie in front of him again. ”
Lin Ling sighed: "I didn't expect that such a genius could be produced in the remote land outside the territory of Liaodong. ”
When Huang Jing heard this, he pretended to lower his voice mysteriously and said, "Actually, this Seventh General is not from Liaodong!" ”
"Oh? Where is that? ”
Huang Jing said: "Jiangnan! ”
Lin Ling said in surprise: "Jiangnan? How could the people of Jiangnan come to Liaodong, thousands of miles away, to be officials? ”
"I've only heard about that." Huang Jing said: "It is rumored that this seventh general was killed by the tyranny of Hua Shigang and the He clan, so he was forced to go to sea and ended up here. Unexpectedly, he made another career. ”
"Humph! It's the Flower Stone Class again! Lin Ling said: "That dog official surnamed Zhu, I don't know how many people in Jiangnan have been ruined!" ”
Huang Jing hurriedly said: "I just inquired about these from the old department of the Seventh General, and I didn't sit down. Lin Dashao must not spread it randomly, so as not to be jealous of the seven generals. ”
Lin Ling glanced at him and said in his heart: "When it comes to doing business, this Huang Jing is also a slippery head, but he is too uncourageous to do big things!" Huang Zhen's descendants seem to be not as good as they used to be. Then he thought: "He blew that Seventh General to the sky, but I don't know what kind of character it is!" ”
