Chapter 528: Plums
Ligang is actually not a place name, but the name of the port, located on the island between Zhoushan Islands and Zhenhai County, and the two places are only separated by a water, there is a mountain name on the island called "Jintang Mountain", so this island is also called "Jintang Island".
Gloomy clouds had gathered in the air, raindrops had begun to fall, and the wind whistled and whistled the clothes of the people in the pavilion.
"Father-in-law, I don't think it's coming." Mao Haifeng looked at the waves that were gradually rising, "Even if you want to come, the wind and waves are not small today, and I don't dare to be afraid." ”
There was a sound of harmony all around, and this kind of wind and waves were pediatric to those of them who had been crisscrossing the sea all year round, but to ordinary people, it was quite terrifying.
The burly Wang Zhi took a step forward, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the ruined walls and tiles not far away, which used to be his starting point, how much effort and effort it took to build the commercial market, but now it is in ruins.
"Back then, the sails of Ligang were like clouds, gathering businessmen, sweating like rain, it was really the first prosperous place in the southeast, but now it is ......" Qian Rui shook his head and said: "Don't feel distressed about the old shipowner, the old one doesn't go, the new one doesn't come." ”
Wang Zhi sighed, "In Mr. Yi's opinion, how likely is it to open the sea and ban trade this time?" ”
"This ...... Fang is not an immortal, even if he is an immortal, he can't be counted. Qian Rui paused, "But a few days ago, the people from the Zhao family in Cixi ...... Does the old owner remember? ”
"The Zhao family has always had no rules for doing business." Mao Haifeng tilted his head and interjected: "At both ends of the head, now that it is possible to trade, I just threw a few people over to see the direction of the wind." ”
"Shut up." Wang Zhi glared, "The trade route has been cut off for several years, and the Zhao family set up shops in Shuangyu and Ligang in the early years, so this road cannot be cut off...... Mr. Fang continued, you interject and try again! ”
Mao Haifeng closed his mouth stupidly.
"After careful interrogation, I learned that there was a person in the Zhao family in Cixi...... The old shipowner should know about it, too. Qian Rui said softly: "Zhao Wenhua, the character Yuanqian, the number Meicun, Jiajing eight years of Jinshi, Jiajing thirty-two years of the south to supervise the war and fight the Japanese, and then returned to the dynasty and was promoted to the Ministry of Industry. ”
"Oh, oh, the old man has heard of it, it is said that it is a strict party, and his reputation is not very good...... I didn't expect it to be the Cixi Zhao family. ”
"Zhao Wenhua is a member of the Yan Party, and Hu Ruzhen, the governor of Zhejiang, is also a Yan Party."
"What does the gentleman mean...... The Yan Party is actually in favor of opening the sea and banning trade? ”
"At least not against it." Qian Rui said casually: "I also heard a news that day, Wang Minying, the governor of Zhejiang, should have assigned a large army to capture Ligang and be promoted to the head of the military department, but he was driven out of the capital at the end of last year, and it is said that he was quite coldly received. ”
Although it was all illusory information, Wang Zhi was quite encouraged and said with a smile: "With Mr. by his side, the old man has confidence in his heart...... Well? ”
"It's coming!" Xu Bicheng has the strongest eyesight, and pointed to the port in the distance, "The lucky ship is in the middle, and the four ships in front and behind are blessed, but there is more pomp than us!" ”
It happened that the sea breeze had stopped and the rain had stopped for a while, so Wang Zhi strode out of the pavilion and walked straight forward.
When the ship docked, the first to disembark were dozens of soldiers with swords at their waists or spears, all of them tall and vigilant, and soon occupied the half-abandoned dock.
Then the seven or eight scholars in Confucian shirts who got off the boat looked at Wang Zhi and the others with curiosity, but there was no disgust...... After all, they are all natives in the southeast, and although they hate the Japanese invaders, they also know that Wang Zhi has not participated in the war against the coast in recent years, and even started a war with Xu Hai, leaving time for the southeast to train the new army.
Zheng Ruozeng looked back at the ship...... Even though he has always been calm and moderate, he couldn't help but scold a few words in a low voice, Zhancai is unreasonable!
In the cabin, Hu Zongxian slapped the table with a pale face, "Okay, okay, it's all up to you, mobilize people from Jinhua, Taizhou, Shaoxing, Chuzhou, and Shaoxing, and the silver will be collected on both sides of the Governor's Mansion and the Governor's Yamen...... Tang Jingchuan was promoted to the prefect of Ningbo, as long as Xu Huating did not make trouble, he should be fine. ”
"Shouldn't it be over a long time ago, I have to wait until I ......kick the door" Qian Yuan got up slowly, took the Miao knife handed by Yang Wen, and hung it on his waist in an orderly manner, "Okay, Brother Ruzhen, please first." ”
The soldiers stood in two rows, and many staff members carried Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, to the island, and around this port, tens of thousands of lives fell into the Yellow Springs, but until this moment, there was no real Ming official who set foot on this place.
To Hu Zongxian's surprise, in the cool sea breeze, when the two groups were still looking at each other vigilantly, Wang Zhi came out of the crowd and knelt on one knee.
"The sinners pay a direct visit to the Governor."
There was a commotion behind Wang Zhi, such as Mao Haifeng, who had a hot and straightforward temperament, couldn't help but press the handle of the knife with one arm.
Hu Zongxian's side was even more surprised, no one expected that Wang Zhi, who was famous all over the sea, would kneel down and confess so easily.
Hu Zongxian's gaze swirled around Wang Zhi's head...... Great head, but unfortunately I can't take this leap.
During this period of intrigues, I can't wait to do my best, just for this head...... When this head appeared in front of him, Hu Zongxian felt complicated, and he was a little distracted for a while.
Wang Zhi, who was kneeling on the ground, was a little drumming in his heart, his posture was low enough, what else did he want...... It's been a few breaths, and you still don't let Lao Tzu get up?
At this time, a clear voice sounded behind the crowd.
"The owner of the Wufeng ship is looking for profit in the commercial sea, colonizing the world, benefiting with others, and killing the Japanese invaders, offering the head of Xu Hai, defending the border for the country, what is the crime?"
Wang Zhi looked up in surprise, and the staff behind Hu Zongxian stepped out of the way, revealing a young man with a thin body and a face like a crown of jade.
Qian Yuan held the hilt of the knife in his hand, strolling forward, his eyebrows like flying, his sideburns like a sword, and the dark cloak behind him was whirring in the sea breeze.
Since reuniting with Xiao Qi, Qian Yuan's clothes have been taken care of by Xiao Qi...... She doesn't know how to work with women, but she can command.
It still looks like the clothes of this era, but there are subtle changes in many places that make people feel bright.
Everyone under Wang Zhi's command was quiet for a while, Qian Rui's hands were retracted into his sleeves and they held each other tightly, and his eyes widened to see that the young son who had not been seen for five years was quite tall, his eyes were like electricity, and his awe-inspiring demeanor made people dare not force his eyes.
Bad luck!
I was robbed of the limelight by this guy again!
Hu Zongxian scolded secretly, and took two steps forward to help Wang Zhi, "Since the thirty-second year of Jiajing, the Japanese rebellion has spread all over the southeast, and this official has not heard of Wufeng's entry into the Kou, what is the crime?" ”
"Besides, although this official has been running around in recent years, he has also heard that the villagers have said that although Wufeng is looking for heavy profits, he abides by the rules of the Hui people."
Wang Zhi looked grateful, nodded again and again and explained, "Although Wang is a businessman, he doesn't dare to damage the reputation of the township.
Xu Hai did not want to be a businessman, only to loot for a living, Wang hated it to the bone, hunted and killed the head to offer, Wang and others lived overseas, but they missed their homeland, and hoped that the governor would investigate in detail. ”
Except for Hu Zongxian, Qian Yuan and the staff of the Governor's Palace, Tang Shunzhi, the only official who had to go to the island, shook his head secretly, his mother was all nonsense!
But it's not Wang Zhi who is talking nonsense, Hu Zongxian is also talking nonsense, and Qian Yuan is even more nonsense!
It is true that Wang Zhi did not enter the coast, but the problem is not whether he has entered the Kou, but that he has the ability to enter the Kou, which is the key reason for appeasing Wang Zhi.
Wang Zhi offered Xu Hai's head and chose to meet in Ligang, not because he missed his homeland, but because he never forgot to open the sea and ban trade.
It has been pouring rain for the past three days, until today, when the rain stopped a little, and the group climbed the mountain and sat down near the pavilion.
There is only one stone table and four stone benches in the pavilion, and Hu Zongxian and Wang Zhi are naturally the ones who are responsible, leaving two positions......
Wang Zhi ordered Qian Rui early, and the government was here...... Wang Yin, Zheng Ruozeng, Mao Kun and others took a step back and exposed Qian Yuan.
Wang Zhi glanced at this calm young man, and vaguely guessed who this was.
"Come on, Wang doesn't have much good tea, and he is clumsy in hospitality." Wang Zhi respectfully invited Hu Zongxian to sit down, and said with a smile: "It was Mr. Fang's suggestion, but the wild fruit of Jintang Mountain is famous far and wide." ”
There was a plate of washed cyan plums on the stone table, Qian Yuan lowered his eyes slightly, suddenly reached out and grabbed one, took a few bites and said with a smile: "The skin is green and the heart is red, the fruit is big and small, the juice is delicious, and it really tastes good." ”
Qian Rui, who was sitting opposite Qian Yuan, had a smile on his lips, every time he came to Ligang to trade, he would always bring some plums back, and his son liked to eat them the most.
