Chapter 3 of the Flying Dragon Chapter 3 A Stone Stirs a Thousand Waves (3)

"Pioneer? Is this a declaration of war with our country? ”

Huang Shun's heart was impatient for a while, the lord of the country was still so heartless, so it was not too late to ask questions after listening to the words. Where is there a person who looks like a king like this, not to mention the fifth king of Zhongxing Boni, even compared to his father and ancestor, how can such a character be able to dominate the country, it is no wonder that the country has been declining over the years. But if you should go back, you still have to go back, and the same thing has been said to my brother the day before, and the effect is really different.

Although the military power is in hand, it is natural to face the overseas soldiers, but Huang Shunqing, the brother of Huang Vice Chen, is not worried at all, the short-haired man who claims to be a Song man proposed to build a commercial port outside the port of Boranai, clearly saying that it is to communicate with each other, although the other party is like a giant ship, but after all, it is on the island, and now there are only a hundred people who want to land, and it is not all Ding Zhuang, compared to the thousands of elite land divisions in the national capital, this business group of 100 people is nothing, the trouble is only the big iron ship, this time the rumors are confirmed, although it is not open to the public, But as long as the nobles in the city have the heart to inquire, they have already known the end. Now the situation is clear, the short-haired Song people have big ships, and intercept merchant ships at sea to check, if they do not follow the advice of the Song people, then the sea trade of the city of Brahmanai will be cut off, which is absolutely unacceptable to the nobles in the city. In terms of military strength, General Huang is still confident that the Song people can't help the land division in the country, the Bo Ni land division, it is the ancestor Huang Senping who built it, the elite of the army are all Chinese, and there are local natives who choose the front, the most brave and ruthless, and fight more with the sea bandits, on land, the number is superior, if it is really with this short-haired Song people, there should not be suspense. But Huang Shunqing was worried about the center, so he was a little more cautious, and instructed his brother to restrain the lord of the country as well, and look at the style.

"Maharaja, the Song people don't want to declare war, but they really want to trade with our country."

"Commerce? Did the Song people say how to deal with the military and civilian goods on the island? ”

Huang Shunzhi hesitated for a moment, but said: "Then Xu Jingluo said that when they came, they didn't see any military and civilian goods on the island, so they couldn't return them. Xu Xuance's words are not wrong, it was originally covered and crossed, and even the soil layer on the island has been replaced, and there are still dozens of soldiers and civilians on the island, and there are only dozens of garrisons on the island, plus tax collectors and merchants, there are only two or three hundred people in normal times, and now it is after the New Year's Festival, and the number of people is even less. Seeing that Xu Xuance spoke sincerely, Huang Shunzhi was still a little hesitant, but seeing that many of the arrangements on the island were said to have been built by the short-haired Song people after they came to the island, and it was not yet January, he was impressed by the ability of the short-haired people to build a city, and he was a little awe-inspired.

At present, since the lord of the country asked, he should explain it clearly, and said: "I don't think that Xu Jingluo's words seem to be fake. ”

"What does Uncle Guo think should be done?" Su Tan accepted the little sister of the Huang family as a concubine, and also learned the customs of the Han family on weekdays, and called the brothers of the Huang family as the uncle of the country, although the uncle did not look down on his brother-in-law very much.

Lu Aba is asking the powerful ministers of the country, although it is Huang Shunzhi who is asking, but Su Tan is not a stupid person, and it is his brother who gives the answer, Huang Shunqing, the uncle of the great country.

"The lower officials thought that it was better to allow the Song people for the time being, now that the sea trade has been cut off for more than a month, the nobles in the country are complaining, if they do not conform to the form at this time, I am afraid that things will change." Huang Shunzhi naturally accepted Xu Xuance's gift, not like ordinary gold jewelry shellfish, these are also common in Nanyang, the Song people took out exquisite porcelain and glassware, although Taixi Hongyi also has glass, but the transparent glass and crystal silver mirror without a little variegation are really treasures, even the visionary Huang Shunzhi is full of praise, and the half-length mirror dedicated to Su Tan is even more amazing.

With this foreshadowing, it was not so unacceptable that the Song people were originally allowed to come to Hong Kong to build a commercial hall, and the so-called return of the island's goods was nothing more than a reason.

"Then I will bother Uncle Guo to do it, don't delay the season." The sea trade has been delayed for too long, and the country can't afford to wait, but Su Tan is also an ordinary person, and he will also be greedy, but this Su Tan is still a little less self-aware than the ancestors, so the careful thinking in his heart will always hurt his own family.

…………

"All of them?"

"Let it go, treat people with sincerity, or it is called the horse bone of Qianjin City." Xu Xuance reported to Rockley on the handling of the intercepted merchant ships since January. "Besides, we always have to examine the quality of the partners we work with...... Both ability and determination. Xu Xuance added.

Since January, the special service team has intercepted a total of 17 merchant ships, more than 300 people, the cargo is not counted, due to the winter wind, many ships are coming from the direction of the Philippines, so the ships are mostly silver, lake silk, these people after screening and talking, so that the crossing group has a general understanding of the situation in the South Seas, the first map correction work since the crossing is in full swing.

"I naturally know the truth, and I will not object to the joint decision, I believe that after reading our things, no one is not impressed." In the past few days, the group has talked to the ship's leading cargo owners more than 30 times, originally heard that they can leave and sell the goods on the spot, which is also overjoyed, but the shorthairs can only offset the goods but let some people show an instant loss, but when they see the goods provided by the shorthairs, it is a burst of rapid improvement in mood, and when the shorthairs announced the price of the goods, the chief of the voice is no longer a compliment, but through the eyes that emit light. How many people are calculating, and the mercury mirror that can show the delicate face will stop breaking a tael of silver, which is no different from picking up for nothing. If it is transported back to the old port, it is ten times the profit, and if it goes to Daming or Japan, it can be doubled ten times.

Xu Xuance said: "There are some things that are not as easy to use as imagined, although glass products are rare, but it is not nothing, although the Dutch shipped from Venice is mostly variegated glass, but glass utensils are not irreplaceable, but the mirror sales should be good." ”

Luo Keli was not angry, and said: "As long as there is the right kind of goods, they are all wholesale anyway, and the start-up capital depends on these inventories." "In that time and space of the 22nd century, there was not enough real money and silver for the travelers to hoard, and now to open up the situation there is no hard currency to believe, according to the historical data, Siam in the north still uses shell coins, but after all, it is just a legend, and the merchant ships that have been interrogated in the past few days have not heard of such a thing.

"It's okay to say otherwise, it's just that this Nanyang East Road makes it sound awkward."

"This is also self-packaging, when Lao Mei came up with the idea, I didn't see anyone objecting, since we want to do big things, there must always be a ready-made righteous name, and the Song system can also correspond one by one, and it is good to let the local people understand."

"Then what is my position as the envoy of the Nanyang East Road?"

"It's kind of a governor all the way."

In order to match the rhetoric, Mei Casey basically transformed the Song system and immediately used it. Roughly in the center, it is divided into the political hall and the privy council, the political hall is similar to the State Council in later generations, the seven governors are the functions of the Standing Committee, the Privy Council is the military commission, in charge of military power, and the corresponding positions of the chief and deputy privy envoys can also know what they refer to without elaboration. As for the South China Sea countries, they have long been divided into several routes, specifically this Nanyang East Road, which includes the later Kalimantan and Sulawesi Islands, and the intended place of governance is this city of Brahmana, the future Great Song Brunei. Now the appointment given to Xu Xuance is the governor of Dongfu (another name for the political affairs hall), and as for the envoy who is only sent, there may be other arrangements in the future.

"This governor is very boring, and it is only right to go ashore early."

"Don't worry, it won't take long."

…………

"The Maharaja allowed the Song people to go ashore? Which plot of land was chosen? ”

"Brother rest assured, it is all done by the younger brother, and the current Song people are selected to be the easternmost mullah land in the port, all of which are wasteland, and all the houses and appliances are prepared by the Song people themselves, if they need to be purchased locally, they are all according to the market price, and all the miscellaneous courses in the middle school are also recognized."

"I heard that there are not many Song people who go ashore, and this construction requires a lot of local coolies."

"This is also said, that Xu Jingluo wanted to recruit coolies locally, and the Maharaja also allowed him. Just ......"

Huang Shunzhi looked at his brother, and some things still had to be explained.

"Just what? Is it the Maharaja? "Huang Shunqing has been immersed in politics for more than ten years, how can he not understand what his brother is talking about.

"I don't think this short-haired Song person is good, and the Dajun seems to have other thoughts." Needless to say, the words are too thorough, seeing the red eyes of the lord of the country after seeing the goods of the Song people, how can he not understand his thoughts. "I'm afraid that the king will be uncertain and do something wrong, and it will be an unforeseen move for the country."

"Don't think about him, second brother, you just let Xu Jing do it, and there are still things to worry about."

"The little brother can save it."

…………

His Royal Highness Ruaba, who had eaten for a few days, was disturbed again today.

The Song people actually built a merchant hall outside the port in only one day, and also built a wall, and inquired, it is not an ordinary wall, it is all built of bricks and stones, and all the mullah land in the east is enclosed.

In normal times, there were also Hongyi who built forts in coastal ports, but they often delayed and had to work local manpower, so they could still deal with it, but they were only expelled. It will take more than half a year for the fort built by Hongyi on the island of Java to begin to take shape. But now the "trading station" that Shorthair only used one day to build was not something that could be easily dismantled by the lord of the country, and it was just a nameless fire, and the minister in charge of the affairs came to report that Shorthair had posted a notice to recruit laborers in the local area, especially the Han people.

"You've done a great job."

The minister in charge was named Datu, and he didn't know Su Tan's anger, and said with a smile: "I don't deserve the praise of the king, it's all this short-haired Temali, and in one day's work, they have been able to build so many houses." ”

"The houses are all around the walls, are you all blind? Why don't you report it? What is the sin of any of our nations that builds a city without permission? "His Royal Highness Lu Aba Xu is frustrated in his heart, his own national capital is still rammed with wooden planks, and it took many years to build, but this short-haired Song people only built a fortress in the national capital overnight, how not to be hated.

The minister, who finally found that the atmosphere was not right, replied tremblingly: "The shorthair built the city late at night, and the laborers sent there were originally all under the guise of it, and some noise could be heard at night, but in the wilderness, who would have thought that it would be built overnight." The story of the night city has also been mentioned a few times by the Japanese ronin in the capital, but it is built in the mountains of Japan, relying on the terrain to take the local bamboo, wood and rattan ropes, even Datu, who does not have much knowledge, knows that such a "city" can not be counted, and it cannot withstand a few slashes. Although the short-haired "castle" is not large, it is not much smaller than Sutan's Miyagi. There are no trees to use in the mullahs, and there are only some mangrove forests on the seaside, in which only fishermen can catch small fish and shrimp, and it is impossible to build houses. And the minister who has seen it himself knows that the wall is not just masonry, and the sound of metal is reflected in the knocking of the outer wall, like the iron ship that the shorthairs ride in the legend.
