Chapter 72: The Strange Pu Family

In order to welcome Yang Bo, the Pu family also prepared a delicate carriage, He Yunsheng personally drove, the interior of the car is luxuriously decorated, the place where the body may touch, are covered with fur cushions, sit on it, very comfortable feeling, the car is stable, the speed is extremely fast, a flash of effort, it will be to the Pu family.

Pu Zixun was already waiting at the door, Yang Bo got out of the car, and he stepped forward quickly, greeting him, his attitude was extremely respectful, and his face was flattering.

The ancestors of the Pu family came from Fanbang, it is said that they are descendants of Arabia, and they have been maritime merchants in Zhangzhou, Fujian during the Song and Yuan dynasties, and they have the notoriety of rebelling against the Song Dynasty and killing the Zhao and Song clans.

Is the Pu family in Zhoushan the same as the Zhangzhou Pu family in Zhangzhou 200 years ago? Yang Bo also does not know.

It seems that the Pu family is quite solid, although the house is only three in, but the area is not small, the wall is high and the door is thick, the courtyard is deep, the pavilion in the courtyard is a flower gallery and a water pavilion, and there is no shortage of rockery fish ponds. Pu Zixun got the news, the Shen family took Peach Blossom Island and Heng Island, Yang Bo appeared on Peach Blossom Island, so he asked someone to invite, Yang Bo is really here, Yang Bo is now very famous, how can the Pu family be lazy?

Pu Zixun took Yang Bo's hand, and the two came to the tea room, which is a place where the Pu family specially receives guests.

"The little brother came to the Pu family in person, the humble house is shining, the old man is really happy, really happy, come on, please take a seat."

"Pu Dong's family is polite, now that the Shen family has taken Peach Blossom Island, everyone is a neighbor, and the younger generation should have come to visit." Yang Bo is also polite.

The two sat down separately, the little maid served the fragrant tea, and stepped aside, it seemed that it was also well-trained, and the pomp of the rich family was different.

Pu Zixun beckoned Yang Bo to drink tea, and he also picked up the teacup, blew it, and took a sip, with a lot of emotion.

"The old man heard that the little brother took people to take the Peach Blossom Island and Heng Island, and the thieves on the island were all beheaded, very happy, this plum scorpion is a big scourge of the Zhoushan Islands, the little brother is to eliminate the harm for the people, no matter what today, let the old man do his best as a landlord, and have a few drinks with the little brother, okay?"

"Pu Dongjia praised it falsely, those people did a lot of evil, and they took the blame on themselves, even if Yang Bo didn't take his life today, someone would come to collect them in the future, hehe."

Pu Zixun calls himself an old man, but in Yang Bo's opinion, this person is only in his early forties, quite tall, his appearance is not good, his continuous beard is continuous, and he looks like a messy face.

His eyes were deep and shining, looking at this person as an old fox, and now he was so flattering to Yang Bo that Yang Bo was very confused.

In fact, Yang Bo didn't know that the Pu family treated Yang Bo so well, largely because Yang Bo is now too famous, and the descendants of the Pu family also got the news, Yang Bo is here, and now the Pu family is up and down, chickens and dogs are jumping.

At this time, there were constantly people at the door probing their brains, maids, mothers-in-law, old mothers, etc., just walked and came again like a marquee, they all wanted to see Yang Bo's demeanor, lying on the side of the door, chattering endlessly.

Yang Bo couldn't hear what people were saying, and said in his heart, the Pu family is really special, and they are really enthusiastic about treating people, but it's just too much, and it makes people uncomfortable.

Pu Zixun was also helpless, so he had to say to the housekeeper He Yunsheng: "Boom away, boom away, there is no rule, what kind of system is it?" ”

But who can blame this, everyone has a gossip heart inside, waiting for the opportunity to move, not not to jump, but the time has not come.

Now the time has come, Yang Bo is a celebrity, not to mention that he is handsome, he still has the ability, alcohol, matches or something, and a little leakage from his mouth is enough for his Pu family to eat.

This is like the bosses of later generations, who doesn't want to have something to do with Ma Yun? Even if it's with a shadow, the photo is washed out, enlarged, and hung everywhere on the wall, if nothing else, at least there are connections, connections are resources, and it has more face.

It's a pity that Yang Bo didn't know all this, but this is fine, if he knew, maybe he would be proud.

Yang Bo explained his intentions, saying that Peach Blossom Island needed to replenish food, vegetables, daily necessities, etc., and asked the Pu family to help.

It's really a business that came to the door, Pu Zixun was overjoyed, and said in a loud voice: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I'll do it right away, and I'll send it to the island tomorrow." ”

Yang Bo said again: "The Shen family first got the island, they have no experience, and they don't know how to replenish the supply on this island, so please ask the Pu family to bother more." ”

This Pu has his own experience, and mentioned that he had bought items for the Dutch in July a few days ago, and talked about how and how to do everything.

Yang Bo learned that the encounter with the July at sea that day was a routine patrol of the July, which was a non-combat state, and the staffing was not neat, only less than 100 people, and the full crew was more than 160 people, and the captain of the July was called Wan Baine.

"Wanbain?" The name sounded a bit like a Chinese surname, and Yang Bo asked curiously.

"This 10,000-word is a transliteration, in Dutch, it is not a surname, it is a noble title, and the surname is preceded by 10,000, which means that this person is from a noble family."

Yang Bo suddenly understood that this ten thousand is van, just like some surnames in Germany, there is a Feng character, which is from a noble background, such as the father of missiles, von Braun, this is the case.

"I see." Yang Bo suddenly, smiled, and said: "This red-haired fan is also so famous, the original way is that my high-ranking officials and nobles are unique, hehe." ”

Pu Zixun put down the teacup, possessed him, and said in a low voice: "Childe, although Hongmao Fan is a barbarian, now he is a strong ship, and the Ming Sailor is not as good as it." ”

Yang Bo bowed slightly, this Pu Zixun has some insight, and the Ming Dynasty's sea ban led to another direct consequence, which was the decline of shipbuilding technology.

"The Pu family's business is to specialize in spices and precious timber, which are all imported from the South Seas, because of business reasons, the Pu family has a lot of contact with Westerners."

"The old man heard that the little brother is also inquiring about the grain trade in Annan? Westerners can help in this regard, if the little brother is in need, the old man is willing to make peace with him. ”

When Yang Bo heard this, his eyebrows jumped, this matter he only Mei Xian'er, Shen Yanqing and a few other people said, saying that in the future, we should find ways to buy more grain, one is out of fear of the Xiaoice period, and then the mutation may lead to frequent natural disasters, famine one after another, and second, because of the unbalanced overseas trade, only in and out, resulting in a huge amount of silver inflow, which may cause food prices to rise, this is just an idea, I didn't expect Pu Zixun to know?

Yang Bo couldn't help but take a deep look at Pu Zixun, and his heart was suspicious.

Yang Bo said tentatively: "The younger generation heard that the Zheng family in Mindi has fought with the Dutch many times, and there are few defeats, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

When Pu Zixun heard this, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed.

The affairs of the Zheng family, even he has just heard that this son lives in Shenjiabao, the land of projectiles, and he knows a lot about the affairs of the South China Sea.

Yang Bo is young, how can he be so knowledgeable? This person should not be underestimated.

If it can be used by him, it will be fine, if not, it is a formidable opponent.

"Brother Yang, drink tea."

Pu Zixun raised the teacup in his hand to hide the shock in his heart, and said: "If this is the case, we should cooperate with the Westerners, otherwise, the son will go south to Jiaozhi to buy grain, and the old man Nanyang will buy spices and wood, won't they all have to be controlled by others?" ”

Yang Bo picked up the teacup and echoed, "Pu Dongjia, please." "Bow your head and drink tea silently.

Pu Zixun's current meaning is already obvious, he is lobbying Yang Bo to cooperate with Westerners to deal with Zheng Zhilong together, and for this reason, he does not hesitate to collude with Hongmaofan.

Nima, your ancestors rebelled against the Song Dynasty and the Yuan, and today, hundreds of years later, they are mixed with the Westerners, and they are really dead.

Later generations often said that capital has no borders, and no business is not treacherous.

Pu Zixun, like Huang Renjie, are compradors, for compradors, national borders are actually indispensable, they are taking advantage of this internal and external differences, exploiting loopholes to seek benefits, for the sake of money, can do whatever it takes, these people as a group, all the time eroding the foundation of the country, very harmful.

But as a comprador individual, it is difficult to say that there is a mistake, the interests dictate, the nature dictates, even in later generations, in the era of Ali's father's shopping, overseas purchasing has also become a trend, and people earn the price difference, which is essentially the same, only interests.

Yang Bo is just confused, this Pu Zixun also looks up to him too much, he is now the one-third of an acre of land in the stone temple, and his power is very small, how can he have the strength to confront the Zheng family?

The two of them each had ghosts in their hearts, and they were relatively silent, and there was a dead silence in the room, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Pu Zixun broke the silence and asked, "I heard that Yang Gongzi and the eldest lady of the Shen family are married?" Seeing Yang Bo nodding, he sighed: "I'm not afraid of the jokes of the son, my little daughter Pei Yao is also Yunying unmarried, but unfortunately, Zhoushan is an island, not as good as Shenjiabao, there are not many outstanding young people." ”

What kind of medicine is sold in this Pu Zixun gourd, I have something to do with your daughter Yunying not married? Put it together, it is difficult for people to have ideas, and Yang Bo is a little restless.

Pu Zixun stopped, quickly made a look at people, and said: "The old man also opened a shop in Shenjiabao not long ago, specializing in spices and precious wood, but the business has not yet opened, and the little girl Peiyao will also go to Shenjiabao in the near future. ”

Yang Bo hurriedly said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Shopkeeper Pu just needs to let Pei Yao go to the stone temple to find me." ”

The head poked out from the doorway.

Pu Zixun immediately beckoned: "Pei Yao, come and see Yang Gongzi." ”

Yang Bo looked over and saw a woman walking over, with autumn water eyes, looking at Yang Bo curiously, the eyes were so bright, they shone like the sunshine in spring.

"Dad, Young Master Yang."

The woman spoke, and bowed to Yang Bofu.

The eyes are bright and the teeth are bright, and the voice is as crisp as a mountain spring hitting a stone, which is pleasant to the ear.

Yan Ran smiled, and his eyes rolled on Yang Bo's handsome face.

In that look, there was a little green, a little surprised, a little naughty, and full of energy.

is not very old, only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she is clearly a young girl.

The skin is white and tender, pink and shiny, and the most surprising thing is a pair of deep eyes, which appear extraordinarily bright, such as a pool of spring water, Yingying flowing waves, the nose bridge is high, the nose is very narrow, and the face shape is also well-lined, which seems to have some exotic feelings.

Pu Zixun would give birth to such a lively and lovely, elegant and vulgar daughter?

Yang Bo was speechless, feeling that the Pu family was really weird.
