Fujianese people seem to be born destined to take a boat. Although it was the first time to go to sea, Dongmenqing was not used to it at all, and the bumps and rocks of the sea ship did not make him feel particularly uncomfortable.

Of course, Dongmen Qing will not feel enjoyable. Small traders and low-level sailors like him do not have their own independent cabins, some sailors sleep directly on the deck, and those who stay in the cabin also sleep on the cargo! This is a merchant ship, it is for money, not for enjoyment!

The cabin where Dongmenqing was located was full of goods, nearly half of which belonged to Liang Fang, except for Dongmenqing's four dans, the others belonged to another Fujian merchant. But the Fujian merchant had gone away after checking the ship, leaving only a young sailor to guard it. Liang Fang obviously didn't trust this sailor, and when he had something to do when he left the cabin, he would definitely let Dongmen Qing stay, and secretly told him to take precautions.

On this day, Liang Fang went out for a walk, Dongmen Qing slept in the cabin, slept for a while and faintly heard someone reading, woke up, only to find that it was the sailor in the same cabin holding a book of 300 Tang poems and was reciting in a whisper, thinking: "Everyone here is thinking about making money, and he still has the heart to read, which is really rare." I had a good impression of him in my heart, and I wanted to make him a friend, and I looked at this cabin friend who had never looked at him carefully, and saw that he was short, with rough hands and feet, like a monkey out of the mountains and forests, with high cheekbones, and a long pointed chin, similar to the incomplete evolution of savages, and he looked a little ugly, even the tone of reciting Tang poems was also a little weird, and he often stopped after reading two or three words, and continued to read a word, Dongmenqing guessed that he didn't know that word, so many times, he couldn't bear it, so he pointed out.

The sailor was taken aback, and glanced at Dongmenqing, his eyes were very strange, it could be said that he was a little wary in surprise, and a little nervous in his vigilance. Dongmen Qing smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that." You read yours, and if you don't understand, you can ask me. The sailor bowed his head again and read, but he stopped reading. Dongmen Qing asked again: "My name is Wang Qing, what is your name?" ”

The sailor hesitated for a moment and said, "My name is Tang Xiuji. ”

Dongmen Qing asked him where he was from, Tang Xiuji bit his lip and did not answer, and at this moment someone ran in from outside the door and shouted to him: "Monkey! Come out and help! ”

Tang Xiuji said: "The boss said ......" Before he finished speaking, he was slapped and shouted: "Don't instigate!" Come out! Tang Xiuji didn't dare to resist and hurriedly followed. Dongmen Qing followed out of the cabin and saw that he was being pulled to pull the sails. Tang Xiuji was extremely fast, and he was obviously very familiar with the affairs of the ship, which was completely different from Dongmen Qing's first brother.

Tang Xiuji didn't come back until sunset, and his boss happened to pass by and saw that he was not in the cabin, and said angrily: "Why did you get out!" ”

Tang Xiuji said: "...... just now" Before he finished speaking, he was slapped again, and was shouted: "You are a widow!" I don't care at all! If I keep you in the cabin, you'll have to stay in the cabin for me! If there's a gap in the goods, who will I go to! Tang Xiuji lowered his head and didn't dare to reply.

Dongmen Qing heard it in his ears and said in his heart: "It turned out to be a Japanese slave." Then he turned and went back to the cabin.

After a while, Tang Xiuji and his boss came in from outside the cabin, the boss recounted the goods, and Qinggao in the east gate was lying on the shelf, and said lightly: "No need to order, when he went out, no one came in except me." ”

The merchant looked up at him, and saw Dongmenqing lying sideways, although he was dressed in cloth, but his posture was very elegant and calm - that was the temperament cultivated by the nobility and dignity, although it had been down, it had not yet been exhausted, and Dongmenqing's two sentences were official, and the words were correct and round, which was very rare in Fujian, where dialects were rampant. The merchant didn't dare to slack off, arched his hand and asked, "What is the name of the little brother?" Where are the people? ”

Dongmen Qing smiled and said, "Don't dare, kid Wang Qing, from Zhangzhou." When he said the word "Zhangzhou people", he used the Yuegang sound, and the merchant was happy when he heard it: "It turned out to be a fellow countryman." ”

Dongmen Qing asked him which prefecture, county, and township he was from, and the merchant said, "My name is Zhao Qianhe, a native of Fuzhou." ”

Dongmen Qing said: "Then how is it a fellow countryman?" ”

Zhao Qianhe said: "They are all Fujianese, and they are fellow villagers when they go out of the province, not to mention that now they are out to sea, Huayi is mixed, as long as they are Chinese, they are all fellow villagers." ”

Dongmen Qing said yes with a smile, and said, "Brother Zhao seems to have read a book." ”

Zhao Qianhe screamed ashamed and said, "I have been reading for two years, but I can't read well, so I have to come out to do business." I hope that my generation will be able to save enough money so that the next generation can concentrate on their studies. ”

The two chatted, Zhao Qianhe has read books for two years, likes to drop the bookbag, Dongmen Qing laughed secretly in his heart, and also followed him to drop the bookbag, he is a person who is well-versed in all directions, and when it comes to the eight strands of knowledge, he is not considered to be in the hall, but he knows some of the internal and external classics and the hundred schools of thought, if he only talks about verbal boasting, he can deal with it in front of a great Confucian like Lin Xiyuan, and he calmed Zhao Qianhe in two clicks, and said in a loud voice: "Wang Gongzi is such a talent, why don't you go to the test to show talent and raise people?" ”

Dongmen Qing said: "No way, the family road is falling, I have to pack up some furniture, piece together some capital to go to sea to save some copper smell, if you have the life to go back this time, you must work hard, I hope to shine on the lintel in the future." ”

Zhao Qianhe sighed after hearing this, took out a bottle of good wine from his cage to invite Dongmen Qing, and asked Dongmen Qing which were his goods, and Dongmen Qing did not hide it, and said it bluntly. Zhao Qianhe saw that he only had four loads of rough goods, and sighed: "With this little bit of capital and interest, when will Wang Gongzi be able to study with peace of mind?" Then he would give him two loads of raw silk to help him with his capital.

At that time, the market price of raw silk in China fluctuated between 80 taels and 140 taels, and in Japan it could be sold for more than 200 taels, and it was not surprising that if there was a shortage of goods, it would even be sold for 300 taels. At this time, the ship has already departed, as long as it reaches Japan smoothly, these two loads of raw silk are equivalent to four or five hundred taels of silver! At that time, American silver had not yet flowed into China on a large scale, and the westward flow of Japanese silver had not started for a long time, and silver in the Chinese market was very valuable. (In martial arts novels, there are often 10,000 taels of gold and 1 million silver, but in fact, that is the price of silver in the late Qing Dynasty.) In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the annual treasury revenue was only millions, and four or five hundred taels of silver was already a huge number! ）

Tang Xiuji heard it next to him, his face turned white, and he swallowed two sips of saliva in succession, but Dongmenqing just shook his head and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhao, but this gift is too heavy for me to accept." ”

He said that this gift was too heavy, but it was clear that he didn't put these two burdens of raw silk in his eyes, Zhao Qianhe saw that he was more respectful, but asked him to accept it, and said: "Our Fujian people are different from other places, and the most important thing is the scholar!" What's more, we have a deed! If the prince refuses to accept this small gift, he will not make me a friend! Dongmenqing repeatedly refused, so he accepted it. Zhao Qianhe was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered Tang Xiuji to get pen and ink to change the label, just at this time Liang Fang came back, Zhao Qianhe asked him to testify, and asked Dongmen Qing to draw a charge on the new label.

Tang Xiuji watched the two loads of raw silk change hands like this, and kept muttering to himself, but what he said was a Japanese language, Zhao Qianhe shouted: "What are you muttering!" Drink him so quickly that he stopped, but Dongmenqing had already heard it clearly, and knew that what he muttered was: "So much money, just give it when you say it, and take it when you say you will receive it?" He thought to himself: "Although these Japanese slaves are diligent in their hands and feet, they are a little stingy after all, and such a thing is heavier than the sky." At the beginning, Dongmen Qing could give Wu Ping hundreds of taels of property without frowning, and he didn't pay much attention to accepting these two loads of raw silk at the moment.

Zhao Qianhe stayed in the cabin until the evening and went back, Liang Fang continued to go out for a walk, and only Dongmen Qing and Tang Xiuji were left in the cabin, Dongmen Qing was still lying on the shelf, and fell asleep after a while, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be a cold air close to his neck, and suddenly opened his eyes, only to see Tang Xiuji standing beside him, hiding his hands behind his back in a panic, Dongmen Qing reprimanded: "What are you doing?" Tang Xiuji escaped a few steps, and Dongmen Qing asked again: "What is behind you?" ”

Tang Xiuji shrank aside and didn't speak, suddenly cried, and said intermittently in Japanese words: "Why is God so unfair!" Why is Heaven so unfair! I've worked hard for a few years, and I can't even save thirty taels of silver...... He didn't do anything, and he got so much money in the blink of an eye......"

Dongmen Qing had vaguely seen the weapon hidden behind him at this time, at first he was both afraid and angry, and when he saw him crying, his heart turned to sorrow, and asked, "What do you want thirty taels of silver for?" ”

Tang Xiuji was taken aback: "You...... You know what we say? ”

Dongmen Qing said: "What's so strange about this. ”

Tang Xiuji bit his lip and didn't speak, and after a while he said, "I like a woman, and I have to have thirty taels of silver to marry her...... But I still can't save up...... Why! Why your money comes so easily! Is it because you've read books? But I also read, and I can read! Is it because you are a citizen of the Ming Dynasty? Oh, my God! Why are you Datang people taking advantage of the benefits of the world! And not us! At this time, China itself was already the Zhu Ming Dynasty, but the Japanese still sometimes referred to it as "Tang Dynasty" in their colloquial language. Tang Xiuji said that the hostility deepened, and he showed the short knife again.

Dongmen Qing also pulled out the little Leng Yan saw from his arms, Tang Xiuji didn't dare to approach when he saw that he also had weapons, Dongmen Qing sneered: "Don't say that you may not be able to kill me, even if you can kill me, where do you think you can escape?" Do you think that if you kill me, you will get my money? ”

With a click, Tang Xiuji's short knife fell on the ship's board, and with a snap, he knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Wang Gongzi, Wang Gongzi, please let me go." I...... I really didn't mean to hurt you. I was just ...... Just ......"

Dongmen Qing smiled: "Jealousy? ”

"Yes, yes." Tang Xiuji said: "I'm just jealous, just jealous. ”

Dongmen Qing heaved and said, "Forget it." ”

Tang Xiuji was overjoyed and said, "You...... Are you really willing to let me go? ”

Dongmen Qing said lightly: "I don't need to lie to you. ”

Tang Xiuji breathed a sigh of relief, put away the short knife, but was still a little uneasy, after a while, Dongmen Qing saw that he was uneasy, and thought: "There is still a long way to go on this sea route, and it is too dangerous to have such a person by your side." But he didn't have the ability to expel the other party at this time, and it was even difficult for him to change cabins, so he decided to appease the other party first, and asked Tang Xiuji: "What is the name of that woman you like?" Where to stay? ”

Tang Xiuji refused to say it at first, hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Her name is Ah Chun and she lives in Hirado. ”

"Ah Chun, ah......" Dongmen Qing smiled: "It sounds like a good woman." Although I don't like you, but what I appreciate most is the amorous seed, well, if we can get to Hirado smoothly this time, I'll help you out with these thirty taels of silver! Fulfill your pair of mandarin ...... Haha, Mandarin Duck...... Haha, haha......" When he said about the mandarin duck, he couldn't help but be happy when he looked at Tang Xiuji's appearance, thinking that it should be a pair of male monkeys and female monkeys, but it was difficult to say in his mouth.

Tang Xiuji was very sensitive and cared very much about Dongmen Qing's two laughs, but when he heard that Dongmen Qingken was willing to help him marry Ah Chun, he couldn't help but swallow two mouthfuls of saliva, and asked with a blank eye: "Prince Wang, you didn't lie to me, did you?" Are you really? Really willing to help me? ”

Dongmen Qing said: "What I said, it never counts!" ”

Tang Xiuji smiled happily, looked left, looked right, saw the pot of wine on the shelf, quickly ran up and poured the cup, and asked Dongmen Qing to drink, Dongmen Qing took it casually, and said: "I am willing to do you a small favor, there is no intention of the city to favor you, you don't have to please me." After taking two sips, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "You widows...... Well, do you have a surname Tang in Japan? ”

Tang Xiuji was a little embarrassed, and said: "I actually don't have the surname Tang, my surname is Sato, and my name is Sato Hideyoshi." ”

Dongmen Qing sighed and said: "Sato is Sato, why ......" Then he remembered that he had also changed his surname, and thought that everyone had their own reasons for changing their surname, so he didn't say anything, but Sato Hideyoshi was very concerned about his words, and saw that Dongmen Qing just shook his head, and he didn't know what he meant, but he didn't want to ask. Dongmen Kei asked about some maritime affairs and Wajima customs, Sato Hideyoshi said everything he knew, Dongmen Kei told him Hokkien at first, and then directly answered him in Japanese dialect, and intended to learn Sato Hideyoshi's accent, which Sato Hideyoshi did not find.

When Liang Fang came back in the evening, he saw that Dongmen Qing and this Japanese slave actually had something to say, which was quite strange, while Sato Hideyoshi was running back and forth, looking very docile and diligent.
