Under the guidance of Wu Xingde and others, Yu Zhilong and others finally entered this Wujiabao.

At the beginning, Wu Side met Bai Qi in Yishui and formed a marriage, and was teased by Qian Zheng and other old wives. This time, the cause and effect of the Heavenly Dao came so quickly in the present world, but in just a month, Qian Zheng was captured by Wu Jinmei on the journey and married.

In the crowd, after the gray Qian Zheng saw Yu Zhilong with a black face, he kept shrinking behind the people, but Wu Jinmei next to him was tall and big, at least one circle older than him, and he had been closely accompanying him. No matter how low-key Qian Zheng is today, most of the eyes around him still fall on the two of them.

Yu Zhilong saw Wu Jinmei for the first time, this woman is really tall! This Wu Jinmei has thick shoulders and long legs, and her height is slightly taller than Yu Zhilong and Yu Shichang, half a head shorter; That waist circumference is nearly two money! The face is broad, but fortunately, although it is fleshy, there are no fleshy folds.

A pair of mountains of meat on the chest are towering, although there is a silk soft armor fastening, it is still towering and shocking.

Yu Zhilong didn't dare to take a closer look. Although the defense of men and women in the world was not as harsh as the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, it was always unbearable to pay attention to a woman. Looking at Wu Xingde's son Wu Quan, he is completely a scholar, with a thin physique, similar to Zhu Delu, the son of Zhu Gui.

Yu Zhilong sat down in the first seat of the welcome living room, and the generals of the Jing'an Army sat down in order on the right side. Wu Xingde and others naturally sat on the left, and there were squires, businessmen, celebrities and other groups of squires, businessmen, and celebrities who had heads and identities nearby and sat at three tables. Qian Zheng sat behind Qu Bo with shame, and wanted to use him to cover it, but Wu Jinmei squeezed over and sat next to him. Qu Bo, Tan Ye, Kong Bi and others laughed secretly and hurriedly moved their seats to give way.

Qian Zheng was so frightened that he couldn't jump up, but in front of everyone's eyes, he really couldn't pull his face, so he had to sit on pins and needles, lower his head, and just be an ostrich.

Yu Zhilong and Wu Xingde had a pleasantry. A little bit of the local customs. Originally, Wujiabao was close to Rizhao, where there was a harbor, which could accommodate ships from the north and south, and even merchant ships could reach Jingshi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Quanzhou, Goryeo, and Dongying. If the unloaded sea cargo is transferred to the land, it can go west to Jinan and Yidu, because the business is more prosperous, so the local population is dense, and the urban and rural areas are richer. Wu Jiabao stands at the throat of the east and west official roads, in order to prevent thieves and rebels, Wu Jiazu built a walled fort, gathered Zhuang Ding, built weapons, and helped to prevent local peace.

"The old man has a good relationship with Yin Liangsi of Rizhao County, if the general takes Rizhao, the old man is willing to repair a book and persuade him to open the city."

Yu Zhilong was overjoyed: "If you get the sunshine, Wu Lao will be the first merit!" Looking at Qian Zheng and Wu Jinmei again, he said with a smile: "Ling Qianjin is a Chinese woman, don't let the eyebrows, get married today, this is a pair made in heaven!" ”

Qian Zheng's martial arts are not weak, he lost to Wu Jinmei in several competitions, Yu Zhilong already knew what had happened, so he said this.

This Wu Jiabao was willing to break with the Yuan Court, the main reason was that at this time, the Yuan Court was tyrannical and expropriated, so that local commerce and trade withered, trade routes were blocked, and prices soared. Especially in these years, the treasury of the Yuan court could not make ends meet, and it had to increase apportionment and taxation, and the wealth of the people was further squeezed; And the benefits of maritime trade have been almost monopolized by the powerful. However, recently, there have been frequent pirates, and the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea are often infested with Japanese people, and even the shipping of the Supreme Goryeo has gradually become unsafe.

Zhang Shicheng made an earth-shattering disturbance in the south, and the trade between Jiangsu and Zhejiang shipping was almost cut off, making the local wealthy gentry such as Wujiabao, which relied on the seaport to handle and prosper, even worse.

Wu Xingde took the time to look at his beloved daughter, although Wu Jinmei was faced, she lowered her head slightly, and she didn't care about the eyes around her. A heart seems to be only on Qian Zheng beside him.

Wu Xingde sighed secretly, although he inherited the ancestral business, and greatly expanded the foundation of Wu Jiabao in the past few decades, but his own fate was too far, and he gave birth to four sons in a row, but he fell ill one after another, and there was no direct bloodline in the family to take over. Later, only this woman survived, and he naturally loved her in every way, Wu Xingde saw that she was healthy since she was a child, loved fists and feet, and specially summoned a famous teacher to teach, never thought that her daughter would gradually become more and more pure in kung fu, and her body became more and more tough, not at all like her own few young sons who died of illness.

Wu Quan is not Wu Xingde's parent, Wu Xingde saw that he had nothing to do, so he had to choose a successor from his own family a few years ago.

Jing'an Jun is a thief of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and although Qian Zheng is a Han Chinese, he is not a good match. However, the Jing'an army did have strength, and it defeated the officers and troops in Linqu one after another. Even if you are hundreds of miles away, you have heard of its war. If God has eyes and the Jing'an army gains power, it is a sign of the prosperity of my Wu family in the future.

That Kong Ying said well, the Han family has been in the world for 300 years, even if it is covered with dust, there will be a day when the clouds will be cleared.

The impact of Yu Zhilong's series of administrative measures gradually spread to the surrounding prefectures and counties, and not only the peddlers and pawns, the displaced farmers and farmers were very happy, but also many large and small merchants could also benefit from it. After all, the Jing'an Army encourages business and trade.

The most injured are the big magnates, big landlords and the like, although the Wu family also has a lot of land, but the bulk of the profit is still in business. Wu Xingde's decades of ups and downs can see that the foundation of the Yuan court has been shaken, and now it is time to bet that it is time to change the dynasty!

It is said that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. Wu Quan is not his own blood after all. The only beloved daughter is strong and will be able to give birth. If there is no accident, the children with Qian Zheng will inevitably be indispensable in the future, and if he can be asked to transfer a son in the future, change his surname to Wu, and inherit the foundation of the Wu family. I just wonder if this son-in-law can agree?

Thinking that this money is also a scholar, he always said that he also passed the township test, but unfortunately he didn't want to join my family, if he was willing to take a man to my Wu family incense, Wu Xingde will burn incense, thank you to the ancestors!

He changed his mind again: Although his beloved daughter is healthy, after all, she is big and wide, and her appearance is by no means beautiful. ，

His heart was full of thoughts, and his face was happy and sad for a while.

Yu Zhilong called him, and when he saw that he was in a trance, he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, and he didn't know what he thought.

Wu Jiabao's housekeeper stood behind Wu Xingde, he saw that Duole people were sophisticated, and quickly interjected and said with a smile: "Today is a day of great joy, if the general does not give up, can you spend a few days here, and the army can also rest and recuperate, and it is not too late to send troops again?" Before the words fell, while people were not paying attention, he quickly pulled Wu Xingde's back shirt a few times.

Wu Xingde suddenly came back to his senses, raised his glass to persuade him to drink, and carefully inquired about Yu Zhilong's plans before he could start the conversation. Because Yu Zhilong ordered that no alcohol should be consumed, tea was only added to each table, and no wine was served.

Wu Xingde imagined it, and Yu Zhilong also pondered in his heart.

It is naturally excellent to be able to win the Wu family to take refuge! At least there is no major obstacle on the way to Rizhao. Moreover, the Wu family is a big landowner, and they have considerable influence in the local area, even in Dengzhou, Mizhou, Jiaozhou, etc. If Yu Zhilong wants to think about things, he relies not only on the most grassroots people, but also on the gentry and scribes. However, since the Jing'an Army uprising, there are not many gentry and scribes who have weight and are willing to join them, although Yu Zhilong has released a recruitment list and visited local celebrities and elders many times, but the Dayuan court has accumulated prestige for many years, and the idea of being the lord of Shenzhou is still recognized as the mainstream. In a short period of time, the Jing'an Army has not yet achieved the effect of the Quartet's famous people and scholars.

The Yuan court could not help the sea, so the seaside prefectures and counties with seaports mostly profited from maritime merchants, and the local gentry were not as inland as the gentry, and their vision was by no means limited to land and rent. Jiangnan Shen Wansan was able to become rich and tilting the country, mainly because he vigorously planned overseas trade and river transportation, and benefited the most.

When commerce flourished, the wealth of the local gentry and people was more substantial. There are also many schools and children. The people's hearts are also easy to live and accept new things.

Since ancient times, the peasants have rebelled, and there is no one who has succeeded, why? Without the planning of scholars, the peasants did not have an effective program and strategy for governing the country. Try to win the participation of scholars, and it is also a place where Yu Zhilong wants to use less swords and soldiers here, and try his best to attract people's hearts.

Since ancient times, maritime merchants have the greatest profits, and the most obvious example of profits is the former Song Dynasty.

However, the rapid tyranny of the Yuan court, and the tyrannical expropriation so far, has led the people of the world to suffer unspeakably, and even the interests of local big families such as Wu Xingde have also been seriously affected. Those who have a heart will naturally begin to ponder the way forward.

Today's development is too dramatic, Yu Zhilong knows that Qian Zhengsu is conceited, but he lost in the Wujiabao competition, and he had to admit that he was redundant, and he was naturally in a bad mood. Yu Zhilong quietly looked at the faces of these two people, and Qian Zhenghong's face was still a little embarrassed at this time.

From the perspective of future generations, in addition to being big, tall, and with thick shoulders, Wu Jinmei's appearance is quite weekly, her facial features are relatively well-proportioned, and although her skin is not delicate and fair, she is also a healthy wheat color. It can be said that Wu Jinmei has the size of a model in later generations and the body shape of a national weightlifter.

According to what Wu Xingde and Yu Zhilong just discussed, tonight is the time when the two are engaged; In order for the Jing'an Army to have a smooth way out in the future, Qian Zheng must also be committed to marrying. What's more, if it weren't for Qian Zheng being too conceited and competing in martial arts, Yu Zhilong would really not be able to force him to comply.

Although he is small, he only has a wronged brother! Yu Zhilong retracted his eyes slightly apologetically and said: "Although the soldiers have worked hard all the way, the military plane is fleeting, it can be slightly repaired tonight, and it can be marched tomorrow and tomorrow!" ”

Attached: In the last years of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1162), the tariff revenue of Guangzhou, Quanzhou and the three cities of Zhejiang alone reached more than 2 million, accounting for 6% of the national fiscal revenue. This is only an official profit, and there are also many people in the private sector who engage in overseas trade, which makes a lot of profits, and generates a huge amount of private commercial capital.

For example, Hong Mai wrote in "Yijian Zhizhi": "Wang Yantai, a native of Lin'an, has a very rich family and a gorgeous room. Ignoring the South China Sea, the camp of goods. Wenzhou giant businessman Zhang Yuan, the world is Haijia. Quanzhou Yangke, for more than ten years for Haijia, to 20,000 ...... There are 400,000 of them today. Yang Erlang, a healthy foreign businessman, has been back and forth for more than ten years and has accumulated tens of millions of dollars."

An important reason why the Southern Song Dynasty was able to persist in resisting the Jin and Yuan dynasties for a long time and not collapsing due to huge expenditures was the strong support of maritime trade.

Song attaches great importance to maritime trade. It has successively set up municipal shipping divisions in Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Quanzhou, Jiaozhou, Jiaxing, Zhenjiang, Pingjiang, Wenzhou, Jiangyin, Haiyan and other places to manage overseas trade. Among them, Guangzhou, Quanzhou and Ningbo are the largest. In the late Southern Song Dynasty, Quanzhou became the world's largest port and the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road.

Since the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, the imperial court has continuously sent envoys to overseas to attract investment, and distributed a large number of blank trade permits to overseas countries to encourage foreign merchants to trade in China. The Song Dynasty also did a very thoughtful job in treating foreign businessmen and protecting their legitimate rights and interests. It is also strictly forbidden for officials of the Municipal Department to make things difficult, harass or even extort foreign businessmen, and if they violate the rules, they will be severely punished by "execution" and "death".

In the Yuan Dynasty, the road of sea trade was still very hot, but in the later period, the anti-Yuan beacon fire continued, and it had become a prairie fire, the domestic economy was in recession, all industries withered, and gradually there was no capital for the prosperity of sea trade.

Today, the most famous outlets of Yidu Road are concentrated in Wendeng, Rizhao, Jiaozhou and other places, which are not only the places where maritime merchants gather to load and unload goods. Moreover, it produces a lot of sea salt, and the sea salt produced can not only meet the needs of the road, but also be exported to the belly of the capital, even Shaanxi, Gansu, and other places. Linqu was completely blocked by the Yuan court in the early stage, all the grain, salt, cloth, iron, mules, horses, cattle and sheep and other inputs were completely isolated by the Yuan court, Linqu tens of thousands of people, several months without salt grain import, if the blockade can not be broken, salt and grain can not be guaranteed for a long time, the military and the people's heart will be lost. This is also one of the purposes of Yu Zhilong and others to break the blockade and seize the Haiyan Salt Field.

Yu Zhilong and the gentry at the same table laughed and laughed, and they had been thinking about how to seize coastal ports and develop foreign trade. He asked casually: "I heard that our army caused a thousand daughters to be angry and begging people because of the detention of passing merchants, I don't know where the caravan is?" ”

Wu Xingde said embarrassedly: "This is the caravan of Songjiang Mansion in Jiangnan Province, which entered Rizhao Port and went to Yidu and Jinan. Wu Jiabao was originally a place where trade routes gathered, and my Wu family had inns, carriages and horses in the local area, and operated grocery stores. At the beginning, in order to ensure the peace and tranquility of one party, the ancestors recruited more young people to assist the officials, chase down the rogues, arrest thieves, and inspect the ground to calm down. Today, I don't know that the general has arrived, I don't know that the caravan will pass, and I will collide with the army, and I hope that the general Haihan! ”

"Prospering business and saying profit, paying attention to long-term planning, and establishing integrity. The Wu family can operate sincerely, and also recruit young people to protect the safety of the party, which is very good! This incident was reckless on the part of our army. I also need your family to invite the head of this caravan, and the commander will apologize in person. ”

"General Fei's words are serious! How can a little miscellaneous work be a concern for the general? The little one then ordered someone to prepare the general's intentions for the leader, and the Wu family paid for the damage and goods. The housekeeper got Wu Xingde's signal later, and hurriedly bowed his waist and saluted. Wu Xingde also said again and again that most of these business brigades are familiar with the Wu family, and this time they can return the goods in their original form, which has given them great convenience, how can there be a reason for General Labor Fei to come forward to apologize?

Yu Zhilong was willing to apologize in person, which had already given the place a lot of face. Counting it up, there was nothing wrong with the Jing'an army seizing the military supplies of the caravan. After all, these commercial goods were exported to Yidu and Jinan, and most of the goods that Qian Zheng seized were cotton, oil, salt and other materials urgently needed by the Jing'an army.

The Great Yuan Dynasty has continued to this day, and the anti-Yuan beacon fires in various places have been continuous, gradually becoming a prairie fire, and the officials and troops are powerless to pursue and suppress, so they have to allow most of the righteous troops in various places to assist the officers and troops in encircling and suppressing. At this time, the local strength and aspirants gradually have a tendency to be big. It seems that Wu Xingde has hundreds of rebels, and there are not a few.

Wujiabao started by relying on trade routes, and based on his foothold, he is naturally extremely sensitive to trade routes. Yu Zhilong was able to recognize their status and interests, and even promised that he would prosper and value business in the future, which made everyone very happy. Some of the discerning gentry had already faintly seen the decline of the Yuan court. Now Kyushu is boiling, and the dynasty is sluggish, which is clearly a sign of the recent change of dynasty. If the Jing'an Army has this ability, the sooner everyone can take a ride, the better!

Wu Jinmei listened to these words in the lower seat, raised her head, and carefully looked the young flying general up and down with a pair of big eyes. She had already seen the appearance of the Jing'an army, and knew that these soldiers marched and fought in a very orderly manner, unlike ordinary rebels.

Qian Zheng detained the goods of the merchant travelers today, but did not hurt the innocent, but only detained cloth, cotton, oil, and other things urgently needed in the army, and did not touch porcelain, silk, screens, folding fans, etc. If it weren't for that, Wu Jinmei wouldn't have been curious about this money.

Qian Zhengren is as his name suggests, his appearance is not only Zhouzheng, but also quite handsome. He sits tall on a horse, has bright armor, and his conversation is not as reckless as Huang Er, Wu Side, etc., this appearance is naturally easy to feel good. Since ancient times, sisters love to be pretty, and human nature is natural.

Wu Jinmei negotiated with him first, Qian Zheng naturally did not allow it, Qian Zheng has been a scout for a long time, and his subordinates do have some kung fu, otherwise they would not be able to live so nourishingly. Wu Jinmei tried out that he was not an embroidered pillow in a few tricks, and liked that he was handsome and talked quite literately, and this heart was captured by him in an instant.
