Chapter 113 Suddenly, a cloud sails to the new port
In Zhao and Ju's letters, there are not too many instructions, most of them are greetings. For example, the greeting to Yang Miaozhen is to ask her if she is agreeable to eat horses, the greeting of the other party's wealth is to ask if he is a frequent rhodomorph, and to Meng Xisheng, it is to tell him not to take the gains and losses too seriously, and for Li Ye, it is to warn him not to act impulsively.
Almost everyone, he had a greeting, and although it was just a letter, everyone felt as if it was written for themselves.
The only thing he said in the letter was that if the time was right, he would apply the "patent law" in the flow of the law. Regarding the patent law, Zhao and Ju had explained it to Yixue Boy before, so they understood what was going on, and Yang Miaozhen didn't care about it.
What she was concerned about was that Zhao and Ju did not mention anything about their situation in their letters.
Along with this letter, there was also news that the assassins broke into the palace of King Yi and that Dragon Twelve was injured, which was already a year ago. This is what Meng Xisheng learned from Huo Chongcheng, Huo Chongcheng inquired about this matter, so he knew the cause and effect, and even the person who planned it was the former Si Tongzheng of the palace who found out Hua Yue, which was also the reason why he was close to the housekeeper of Shi Miyuan's Mansion.
"Long Twelve is injured, that guy is too naΓ―ve, he must be stupid to fight with the enemy, and forget all the things I taught him." Although she was not present, Yang Miaozhen guessed the reason for Long Twelve's injury, and when she said so, her brows were furrowed, worried about Zhao and Julai.
"Official...... No, His Highness was not injured, and the Assassin was killed by the Twelve before he could even break through the door. Meng Xisheng smiled.
"It's just that the palace palace is the residence of the immortals, but I didn't expect it to be the Longtan Tiger's Den, I knew it was like this, when I said that I wouldn't let the officials of your family go to live or die, let's ask for the king here, why not?" Yang Miaozhen suddenly became a little angry.
Everyone knew that she was deeply responsible for love, and it was only a momentary angry talk, so they pretended not to hear it.
"If the officials see the flow now, I don't know how to be surprised!" Li Yunrui diverged his words, and his mind was the most active: "The envoy of Zhongshan Country that day, but he was stunned by us, if the officials knew about it, they didn't know what they would say about us." β
"And Tamna, Judge, this is your idea, let's take Tamna Island from the Koreans!" Li Ye said with a smile: "If the official knows that you have only known about trading all day long, you have actually used swordsmen, I am afraid that you will also be surprised." β
"It's not good." Yang Miaozhen snorted and said, "What kind of characters have you officials taught! β
These words seemed to be scolding, but Yang Miaozhen had a bit of pride on her face. Yelu Chucai, who was listening here, smiled slightly, although these people are not very compatible with each other, and even some people are quite competitive with each other, but they all have the same goal, which is for the great cause of Zhao and Ju.
"The heir of King Yi of the Great Song Dynasty......" He silently read it in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but shine a little, the Great Song Dynasty produced such a prince of the clan, if he could really be like Emperor Xiaozong, as a prince, then the world is bound to change.
"He started to lay out when he was a teenager, and he could have been at ease in this overseas place, but he stayed in the Great Song Dynasty and became a prince...... His plot is indeed not small! β
Yelu Chucai naturally understands that with the current manpower of about 150,000 Liuqiu, it is okay to bully a small country like Zhongshan and Goryeo, and it is really against such a powerful power as the Great Song Dynasty, the Jin State and Mongolia, even if it is consumed, it can also consume Liuqiu to death. If Zhao Heju arrives in Liuqiu and operates carefully for one or two decades, he may be able to accumulate enough strength to swallow the elephant with a snake and seize half of the Great Song Dynasty. It's just that in this way, the war has not been extinguished for ten or eight years, that is, after the seizure, whether the people of the Great Song Dynasty are obedient and whether the heroes of the world obey orders is still unknown. Moreover, in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, there are still hundreds of foot insects in the Jin country that die but do not stiffen, and there are still hundreds of thousands of tigers, leopards, wolves and jackals. Although Zhao Heju entered the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty alone at this time, it seems to be in danger, but if he can really do what he wants, then not only has the name of the righteousness of the world, but also can save one or two decades of time, use this time to recuperate and recuperate, and then cross the Yellow River across the Huaishui River, and compete with the Hu people in the Central Plains, will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
And this liuqiu is a clever move laid by the island owner, and it is an idle man for the time being, but when the island owner really has the day to ascend the throne, this small liuqiu can send out ten times and a hundred times the power!
Zhao and Ju's letter not only brought joy to Tamsui, but also calmed the minds of everyone who were a little impetuous because they couldn't contact him directly.
"The letter also greeted Qiu Fengqing, Lin Mengchu and Hu You, and the officials didn't know that they had sailed overseas." Li Ye smiled again.
These words silenced everyone, Qiu Fengqing and others have been sailing for half a year, and there has been no news so far, although everyone knows that they will not come back for a year or two on this trip, but after all, they are worried. Yelu Chucai found that he was the oldest among the people present, so naturally he couldn't let everyone's spirit that he had finally lifted up and be low again, so he smiled and said: "You have to be careful in doing things, if Your Highness knows about the battle we fought on Tamna Island, I am afraid that everyone will be scolded, so it is better to work hard and make up for it!" β
While they were talking, there was suddenly the sound of horses' hooves galloping outside, and the sound of horses' hooves was Meng Xisheng who brought Zhao Heju's letter, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what the news would be this time.
"Four ladies, boat, there's a boat coming!"
Rushing in was the lookout on duty above the lighthouse, who was out of breath and looked a little panicked. Yang Miaozhen raised her eyebrows when she saw the willow, and shouted: "Stop, take a breath and look before you speak, what is there to worry about, everything is there!" β
She said these words like a cannon, and the lookout hand was startled at first, then his expression relaxed, and after taking two breaths, he said: "There is a boat, which is approaching our Tamsui, and it is not flying our flag, it is an outsider's ship!" β
Since the establishment of the city, Tamsui has rarely seen merchant ships come and go because it does not rely on shipping routes, and occasionally those who approach because of wind and waves have been driven away by Tamsui warships. Therefore, although some maritime merchants along the coast also knew that there were first-class overseas demands, they were never able to get to the shore to see the reality, let alone that this place was established by immigrants. The lookout was flustered, not naturally because a ship appeared, but because the ships were obviously preparing to approach Tamsui.
"Let the sailor escort drive away is ......," Yang Miaozhen said.
"Not just one, but three, and the sails are neat, they must not come to anchor in the wind!" The lookout hand said a little nervously: "I looked at it with a clairvoyant mirror, and they are all ships of four thousand hundred!" β
"Let's go and see first, maybe there will be something to gain." Hearing what the lookout said, Yang Miaozhen also knew that these three ships obviously did not come to Tamsui unintentionally, she looked around, although the Tamsui warships were scattered in Tamna and Hanging Island, and only two remained in Tamsui, but there were shore guns on the shore of Tamsui, and there were more than 1,000 guards, and nearly 10,000 Ding Zhuang could be mobilized in wartime.
Pu Kaizong stood at the bow of the boat, staring at the fresh water in front of him, his expression was solemn, and his heart was also extremely worried.
Over the years, the quarters, glass, Liuqiu silk, freshwater cloth, spirits and other specialties produced in Liuqiu have prevailed in the markets of the Great Song Dynasty and Jinguo, and even squeezed out the share of the silk cloth exported from Quanzhou, and Pu Kaizong's business has also been affected. At first, he wanted to compete with him at a lower price, but found that the price of the other party could be reduced to a lower level than his, and he did not realize that the silk cloth was a semi-mechanized intensive production, which was far less expensive than the family workshop production he had received, and was more efficient. As a result, the business, which was revived by the purge of pirates, has been in trouble again in the past two years. Others only say that the two can't coexist, but Pu Kaizong thinks about it, if he is looking for the origin of those flowing goods to trade with him, or he can make a double profit. It happened that there was a Quanzhou sea ship that had passed through Tamsui because of the wind and waves, although it was driven away from a distance, but it knew the location of Tamsui.
Every time the freshwater ship went to Quanzhou, it had to buy a large amount of cotton, raw silk and iron ore, Pu Kaizong expected that these goods were lacking in freshwater, so he bought three ships of these goods, and asked the captain who had seen freshwater far away as a guide, crossed the strait, and spent four days to finally come to this freshwater.
At first, he thought that Tamsui was just a native country like the Three Buddhas and the Champang, and he was quite contemptuous, but when he saw the tower erected on the mountain from afar, he knew that he was wrong.
"This tower has the style of Middle-earth, it looks like a pagoda in the area of the two rivers, and the sailors who begged for the ship were also Han Chinese, could it be ...... This liuqiu turned out to be inhabited by Han Chinese? β
If it is a native, it is easier to deal with, most of the natives are simple, even if they do not understand the language, they can trade with them by hand, only the Han people, the most treacherous, is able to trade, but I am afraid that they will not profit too much from this trip.
All the people who do business all over the world are like this, and they just wish that their trading partners were either fools or losers, and what they hate the most is that the other party is shrewd and capable. Pu Kaizong is not worried that the other party will not let him dock, his own ship is carrying the goods that the other party urgently needs, so why worry about the other party not opening the door of convenience.
When their ship was only a mile away from the harbor, the two ships that had been moored in the harbor sailed out one on the left and the other on the right, faintly encircling them. Pu Kaizong's heart moved, such a formation, it was not good.
"Shouting, saying that we are merchants, with their urgent need for goods, they can send someone on board to inspect the goods!" Pu Kaizong is a person who does great things, and he has an idea in an instant, and he orders to the sailors.
The sailors, knowing that the situation was not good, shouted at once, but they were unmoved, and in a few moments the two ships were less than eighty feet away from them.
"Could it be ......" Pu Kaizong was also uneasy in his heart, he dared to come and beg himself, originally because he had the blood of explorers in his body. Seeing that the window was opened under the side of the other party's bow and a large iron pipe stretched out, Pu Kaizong was even more heartbroken.
"It's ...... It's ......"
The pirates who attacked the Hanging Island back then, some of them slipped through the net, and they returned to the South China Sea, only saying that there were tubular magic weapons on the giant ship of the Hanging Island, which could summon the heavenly thunder to bombard the enemy ship. Because this statement is too absurd, most of the people who heard it dismissed it, but Pu Kaizong was skeptical. Ouyang Yingfeng, who borrowed a big sea ship from him, was never heard from after that battle, and his two big sea ships were also nowhere to be found. He followed up for a long time afterwards, but the news was cut off halfway, and he only knew that it was a sharp weapon used by the coastal system, but the coastal system envoy said that there was no such weapon. He even sent people to infiltrate the hanging island, but the hanging island was heavily guarded, and his people could only find out some external information, and the cannon was not made on the hanging island, so he didn't know what it was.
Now he finally understood that it was a wandering thing.
Think about it, in the past few years, the Hanging Island is a place where the goods are gathered, and there are a large number of Liuqiu sea freight to the Hanging Island every month, and then distributed in Dinghai or Qingyuan Mansion and the Great Song Dynasty Commercial Houses that came here to receive the goods. Then it is not surprising that the hanging island artesian begged to quietly buy this divine weapon.
Thinking that his own family might also beg to buy this magic weapon, Pu Kaizong's heart pounded.
But now the most important thing is to pass the current level, and those seekers seem to have bad intentions. He ordered again: "Shout louder, say that we have sent cotton, raw silk and pig iron!" β
The sailors naturally obeyed the order, and they didn't know if the shouting had an effect, the two ships no longer approached, and after a while, a sampan was lowered from one of the ships, and there were seven or eight people on the sampan, who were not wearing armor on their bodies, but only carrying waist knives, and approached the Pujia sea ship in the wind.
"Who are you, and why did you come to my realm!" A man on the sampan shouted.
"I am the master of Da Song Anxi, I came here to sell goods, and I hope that I will be accommodating, and I will wait for the shore to unload the goods!" Pu Kaizong shouted.
He shouted out the identity of his own "Great Song Anxi Master Book", because although the Great Song Dynasty has accumulated, it is still extremely influential in the surrounding countries, and if the other party cares about his identity, he will naturally not be embarrassed by him.
It's a pity that the sources of migrants are complicated now, including the original Red Jacket Army, the old people of Yanyun of the Jin Kingdom, and the people of Liangjing Road who were captured by the Hu people, or the two Huai refugees, or the coastal fishermen, but there are few Great Song Shunmin. Hearing the master of Anxi, the man didn't know what he was, and shouted: "Anchor and stop the boat, wait for the instructions, if you don't obey, the ship will fall and die!" β
The sailors of the Pu family all looked at Pu Kaizong, they begged for a living on the sea, but they were not good, and they encountered one-way merchant ships on the road, and they had to do the business of killing people and overstepping goods. Pu Kaizong also snorted coldly, Liuqiu people didn't take the Great Song Dynasty in their eyes so much, although he was a descendant of the Great Eclipse, but now he was an official of the Great Song Dynasty, so he was somewhat unhappy.
The sampan continued to lean over, and in a short time it was attached to the side of the boat where Pu Kaizong was riding, and a man put on his hook and climbed aboard. He first glanced at the people on board with great pride, and then asked, "Who is the owner of this ship, I want to inspect the cargo on board!" β
Pu Kaizong wiped his beard, glanced at him and said, "This official is the owner of the ship." β
"I don't care if you are an official or not, when you get to my family's territory, you will be treated equally." The man was also unaccustomed to his official tone, and muttered, "What kind of cargo is on board?" β
Holding back the unhappiness in his heart, Pu Kaizong led the man to check, and after checking this ship, the man was noncommittal, and then went to the back two boats, so he tossed back and forth for more than an hour, and when Pu Kaizong's patience was almost over, the man returned to the sampan, and when he left, he shouted again: "You guys wait, and we will deal with it after I report!" β
