Seeing him off at the dock, Li Feng was full of emotion in his heart, although he didn't know what would happen next, whether King Yan would come to find the bad luck of the Duke of Donghai, but at least, he couldn't see the slightest worry on the face of the Duke of the East Sea.

The servants of Dongshang Palace and Donghai Gong also didn't look worried at all, and they didn't seem to look at the so-called Yan Wang's staff.

Li Feng gradually became at ease, and said in his heart that where did he know the height of the temple? Perhaps, the Duke of Donghai has more big backers above the temple, for example, the younger brother of the current saint, that is, the imperial brother who should inherit the unification?

Therefore, when he said goodbye to Lu Ning, he was a little more relaxed, and made up his mind to hug Donghai Gong's thigh.

has a relationship between a wife and brother, many things, there is no need to think about it, if Donghai Gong is unlucky because of Shuyang, then what he Li Feng does, he can't get rid of the relationship, and he will also be unlucky.

can only hope that the Duke of Donghai has a backer who is not inferior to King Yan in the temple.

……

After sending Yang Thorn Shi away.

On the painting boat back to the East China Sea, there were two more people, Zhang Xun and Wang Hanshi.

Under the witness of Yang Tingshi, Zhang Xun lost 300,000 yuan and was forced to sell himself into slavery, and Cui Heng became a small debtor in the hands of Donghai Gong, who may be the largest creditor today.

At this time, Cui Heng, where did he dare to say more, and when he hurriedly released Wang Han, he returned the fields of Dongyun'an, and the five Taoist aunts were exempted.

Wang Hanshi and Zhang Xun, like Lu Ning's other subordinates, rested on the bow deck.

Wang Hanshi, a young man in his twenties, looked a little nervous, and sat on the bow of the boat after getting on the boat, muttering all the time in his mouth, his eyes wandering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Seeing Lu Ning coming over, he hurriedly stood up, bowed down and said, "Lord!" ”

After chatting with him deeply, Lu Ning had already verbally promised him that he would become the middle doctor of the East China Sea Kingdom, and when he was settled, he could take his old father and mother over.

Wang Hanshi's thinking is quick and jealous, and he really likes to tinker with some so-called "miracle skills" now.

However, it is obvious that as a person of this era, Wang Hanshi's pursuit is naturally to be an official Guangzong and his ancestors, if he is invited back to let him ponder his skills, then he will definitely jump to his feet and scold.

And said that he was invited to the East China Sea Kingdom and hired as the middle doctor of the nine products, it was really different, Wang Hanshi was overjoyed, after all, this courtesy was extremely honorable, but it was like the East China Sea Gong Gu Maolu's invitation to him, not to mention, the East China Sea Gong also rescued him from the prison.

Zhang Xun hung his head and kept silent.

His father is a petty official in Chuzhou, and he is only more than enough food and clothing than the bottom, I'm afraid he can't get a hundred yuan of money, 300,000 yuan? That's a fantasy number.

He thought about whether to write a letter to King Yan for help, but as soon as he came to this letter, he didn't know when he would be able to get to King Yan, after all, it was himself, and if he wanted to meet King Yan, he had to dredge it first and find the right time, not to mention, he was not in Runzhou now. Second, even if this letter arrives in front of King Yan, and it angers King Yan, but he will be unlucky with the Duke of Donghai, this matter is known by the officials, that is, he is acting misbehaving outside under the banner of King Yan, but he is also being rectified, so even if King Yan thinks that the Duke of Donghai is against him and will rectify the Duke of Donghai, he is afraid that he will be a hundred times worse than the Duke of Donghai, and King Yan's brutal temperament makes people shudder when they think of it.

Only, let's walk slowly and see.

Zhang Xun sighed long in his heart.

……

Lu Ning entered the cabin and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

The female dependents got on the boat first, and Lu Ning was busy, and it was already more than an hour later, so he took Zhang Xun, Wang Hanshi, etc., and saw off Cui Heng and Li Fengzhong Yin to board the boat at the dock.

Entering the cabin, Lu Ning saw that there were two more graceful figures in the cabin, two thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls, who were all hiding behind Gan timidly at this time.

Both of them are childish, but they have exactly the same goose egg face, thin willow leaf eyes, pure and lovely, and full of charm.

"Don't be afraid, come and see the Lord!" Gan smiled at the two of them, and said to Lu Ning: "I don't worry about these two nephews of Xiao Thirteen, if they have this incident, they will not be able to end up well in the future, so I will bring them." ”

Lu Ning bowed slightly, "It's okay." ”

The two little girls were happy in their eyes when they heard this, and they were encouraged by Gan's eyes, so they both walked out from behind Gan's, bowed down in front of Lu Ning, and said in unison: "Master!" ”

Lu Ning had already gasped, this, this, cows? Big, a little, a little excessive!

Today's girls are developing too early, right?

I saw them get up again, they were very tall, obviously they were still vulgar and temporarily put on their own haphazard skirts, which were very small, tight, and showed their terrifying curves, and the skirts were only up to the knees, and the underpants were slightly shorter, revealing the soft ankles of the two, as if the cropped pants of later generations were also faintly felt, both of them had a pair of slender long legs.

The skirt that the two of them cut haphazardly now is similar to the dress of the short skirt and cropped pants in later generations, and Lu Ning couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Gan said: "I'm thinking, Xiao Taohong, you must be exempted, there is no literacy in the secretary next to you, I asked them, I have learned to write since I was a child, and I am just right by your side." ”

Lu Ning nodded, this is true, among the maidservants, there are very few literate women, Xiao Taohong only entered a private school when she was a child because of the identity of Liu Zhicai's niece and stepdaughter, and the rest of the maids who were used as pawn secretaries were originally illiterate, but now they are all learning to read and write under the guidance of Gan and You Wuniang.

"Moreover, the two of them know a little bit about sword dancing and fighting, which was taught by Xiao Thirteen's senior sister, so it is more convenient for them to follow the lord and make men's clothes, and the lord can't always follow those rough men."

Lu Ning was stunned, do you still know some techniques?

Gan Shi said again: "Lord, since they have entered the Lu Mansion and returned to the customs, they will no longer use the Taoist name in the future, and ask the lord to give them a name." ”

Lu Ning smiled, pondered for a while, and looked at the twin little sisters, "You are in the same vein as the word peach, my sister is called Da Peach, and my sister is called Xiao Peach." Then he asked, "Which of you is the elder sister?" ”

One of them said timidly: "Master, I am my sister." ”

Lu Ning looked at her twice, and had already remembered the subtle differences between the two, in fact, the two were more similar than ordinary twin sisters, and it was difficult for ordinary people to distinguish at all, even if their parents had been with them day and night since childhood, they often misunderstood the two of them.

But Lu Ning's senses were keen, and he had instantly distinguished the subtle differences in the faces of the two people.

……

At the wharf at the foot of the East China Sea Mountain, there are several sea ships moored, and the huge sail shadow can faintly see the outline in the far away county.

From the direction of a coast, a series of wooden plank bridge wharves tied by long wooden piles stretch out, forming a wharf area, these plank wharves, reinforced with iron frames, screws and other new tools in Donghai County, extremely reliable.

Immediately adjacent to the wharf, a warehouse area has been opened.

At this time, the porters go back and forth between the warehouse and the wharf, carrying boxes and bags of goods to the ship.

Aladdin stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the outline of the county town of Donghai in the distance, but he had many questions in his heart.

He came from Da Shi, and his family had been trading on the Maritime Silk Road for hundreds of years, but after the rise of the Abbasid Dynasty, which the Tang people called the Black Clothes Da Shi, the business of the Aladdin family gradually declined, and even because of the persecution of the New Caliphate, his family had to migrate to what the Tang people called the Tianzhu Peninsula.

Recently, he even wanted to migrate to the Eastern Tang Kingdom, but now that the Tang Dynasty has perished, this once powerful empire has fallen into civil strife, which has made him undecided, but after turning around in Yangzhou's big food restaurant, that is, the Arab settlement, he feels that Tianzhu's living environment is really like a pig's nest compared to here.

Yangzhou, once the metropolis of this old empire second only to Chang'an, its architectural scenery, natural culture and prosperity, where can it be compared with the hot uncivilized land?

And just when he was excited, in Yangzhou, a major event occurred that shocked all Arab merchants, the Tang people, some people made a Sinan that could be used for navigation, and, looking at its structure, on the vast sea, it will not be affected by turbulence at all, and it is really a navigation thing that can be used for a long time.

This land, before the Tang Empire, was a land of wisdom, with many inventions that were breathtaking and influenced the Great Food and the Catholic lands further west.

And now, an invention that can affect the entire history of the world's navigation is born here.

And the inventor seems to be just a feudal prince in one of the small projectiles in the civil strife of this huge empire.

Aladdin, like many of his peers, rushed to the East China Sea.

To their surprise, this projectile land seemed to have been preparing for this day for a long time.

The warehouse area has plenty of goods, which they need to collect for a long time in other places.

Its wharves, unlike many ports, are built on the basis of natural harbors, but are reinforced with all kinds of wonderful tools, and, as you can see, this is only a prototype, and with the increase of merchant ships, it will become more and more prosperous.

The Duke of the East China Sea Kingdom, obviously auctioned a high price of 100,000 yuan, but finally announced that the auction was invalid, saying that in the East China Sea, there was a monopoly on navigation Sinan, and each navigation Sinan was only sold for 1,000 yuan, which was one percent of the bidding price.

However, this navigation Sinan, one boat, can only be purchased one.

The Duke of the East China Sea's intentions, without asking, wanted to make this East Sea port, under his management, gradually become one of the most important maritime trade ports on the eastern coast of this empire of civil strife.

The suzerainty of the Duke of the East China Sea has no real access to the sea, and this is also recognized by the suzerain.

The businessmen who originally sailed here were scolding the Duke of the East China Sea in their hearts, all the way away, just to buy a Sinan, it would cost so many weeks, can't you take it to Yangzhou and sell it? Can I sell it for more money? You have to make a fool of yourself.

But when I really arrived at this East Seaport, I saw the abundant goods, and the new wharf with a completely different concept from this old empire.

Like many businessmen, Aladdin had a storm in his heart.

Moreover, I heard that the Duke of Donghai personally came forward to make a Chinese certificate, matching the trade between maritime merchants and mainland merchants, and the two parties paid a deposit, agreed on what goods they wanted, and how much time they would deliver next time, so that they could save a lot of unnecessary time and make the transaction more efficient.

Of course, fresh commodities and goods with relatively large changes in market prices are not included in this kind of agreed transaction.

Both parties need to pay a certain deposit to the Duke of Tokai, if the party who booked the goods came according to the agreement, and the other party could not provide the agreed goods, the Duke of Tokai would pay the deposit to the party who booked the goods.

Similarly, if enough goods are collected, but the other party does not come to buy them, the other party's deposit will also be compensated by the Duke of the East China Sea to the seller.

With the Duke of Donghai out of the mask guarantee, both parties can rest assured, otherwise, this kind of agreed transaction, if the booking party gives the deposit directly to the other party, wait until the agreed time, the other party will not see anyone, then who to find?

The party preparing the goods cannot also pay a deposit to the merchant who pre-orders to buy the goods.

It is Aladdin, at this time, he is also excited, he can also book goods, so that when he returns from Tianzhu next year, he can directly come to Haizhou to load, and also save the province in various coastal ports.

"My master! I inquired, three days later, the Duke of the East China Sea Kingdom will hold a China Securities Conference! Beside him, Aladdin's loyal servant Muhammad gasped and ran aboard the boat, and when he came near, he slowed down and bowed slightly.

Aladdin nodded, "Okay, I'll go to this conference." ”

"Also, the Duke of the East China Sea Kingdom offered a reward of 300,000 strings of copper coins to buy whimsical ideas...... "Muhammad Chinese is very good, and he understands the bounty list very well, and slowly explains to Aladdin.

Aladdin's heart suddenly moved, and he said with a smile: "Duke of Donghai, there should be no restrictions on our Hu merchants not being allowed to participate, right?" ”

"Not really." Muhammad looked at Aladdin in surprise, "My noble master, you don't want to make a big gamble with the Duke of the East China Sea, do you?" ”

Aladdin smiled and said, "Do you think, Duke of the East China Sea, know how to do arithmetic?" ”

Muhammad immediately said proudly: "The knowledge of arithmetic is, of course, the best in the world among us Arabs!" Our improved counting numbers, the quick calculation time, the Tang people simply don't understand! Merchants among the Tang people, many people count, and there is no concept of zero, so when they perform large arithmetic, if there is no abacus, the speed will be very slow! ”

Then Muhammad looked at Aladdin in surprise, "Master, if you win this duke, will you anger him?" ”

Aladdin's heart is already full of desire for this huge amount of money, if he can get this huge amount of money, then his family is hopeful of revival!

"So, I'm going to think of a solution!" Thinking of the decline of the family, Aladdin's eyes were a little gloomy, looking at the sea in the distance, and muttering.
