With the 80,000 yuan promised by Li Feihu, Xu Shiyang's hands and feet have been let go a lot.

In the first phase, Xu Shiyang sold 80,000 guan of grain, 10,000 guan of salt, and 50,000 guan worth of steel, saltpeter, lead and other materials.

In addition, Xu Shiyang also saw a businessman who came to trade on behalf of a certain Great Zhou official, and this guy promised to sell Xu Shiyang 10,000 coats at a very low price - this is the soldier's military uniform "floated" by a senior official of the Great Zhou, which has been piled up in the warehouse and cannot be sold, and now it is all cheap Xu Shiyang.

The remaining quota is temporarily stored, and Xu Shiyang needs to go to Jiangnan to see what else is worth purchasing.

In fact, now that it is counted, Xu Shiyang's task of going to Jiangnan has been half completed. He robbed the sea of more than ten thousand taels of silver, and a great deal of copper and brimstone.

brought the first 200,000 yuan of support from the Li family, which was already unimaginable wealth for the Xu family.

Of course, if you want to get this money every year in the future, Xu Shiliu's studies will become the top priority, if Xu Shiliu can't become a disciple of Wen Xianggong, not only will he not be able to get the money in the future, but he will also offend such a strong enemy as the Li Pirate Group.

Xu Shiyang waited at Shuangyu Port for another two days, and did not give the order to leave until the first fleet to Rizhao Port departed.

This time, the fortune ship "Fujing", which was exchanged from the Li family by sending Zhou ships, carried the stolen copper and sulfur, and returned to Rizhao with the Li family's fleet.

Xu Shiyang, Xu Shiliu and his entourage then left the Li family's sphere of influence on the "Dengyingzhou" and went to Lin'an.

This time, Deng Yingzhou really entered the area controlled by the Great Zhou - because it was the emperor who was there, the two naval and land divisions of the Great Zhou Dynasty had gathered quite a strong military force around Lin'an, and even the Li pirate group did not dare to mess around near the port of Hangzhou.

After entering the Hangzhou City Shipping Division, the chief secretary of the Municipal Shipping Division took two soldiers to Dengyingzhou and charged the water diversion fee as usual.

He didn't care what Xu Shiyang's warehouse contained, and after the latter quietly handed him 2 taels of silver, he directly collected 100 yuan, even if Deng Yingzhou had already paid the tax.

How to deal with the Great Zhou City Bosi, Xu Shiyang got the guidance of the guards sent by Li Feilong.

When this man named Gan Xiong was on the boat, he told Xu Shiyang that in the Great Zhou, money can make ghosts grind, as long as the officials of the city department are given ceremonial money, the 100 water diversion fees can even be given to iron money!

Two iron coins are worth one copper coin, that is to say, Xu Shiyang only needs to pay 50 copper coins.

It's just that half of the other 50 guan saved is counted as a ceremonial fee for the officials of the city shipping department.

All ships come and go at this price, and Tong Su is not deceived.

Removing the 2 taels of silver just now, a ship can probably save 22 copper coins in taxes, and the Great Zhou court lost 50 yuan invisibly.

It's really rare that the big week can still support this finance.

Xu Shiyang didn't have a good impression of Da Zhou, dug into the corner of the imperial court with peace of mind, handed over a hundred pieces of iron money, and gave another 25 pieces to the officials of the city shipping department according to the rules, and Xu Shiyang stepped on the wharf of Hangzhou Port.

As the best place in the world (although temporary), the prosperity of Hangzhou Port is naturally far better than that of the pirate den in Shuangyu.

The unpleasant smell of salted fish in Shuangyu Port is no longer smelled here, and even in the crowded docks, the air seems fresher.

Merchant ships from all over the world anchored here, and the number was more than that of Shuangyu Port, and Xu Shiyang even saw a convoy of Kunlun slaves for sale brought in by several Pars merchants on the dock.

"These black charcoal heads are strong and obedient." Gan Xiong explained: "It is now popular for large families in Jiangnan to buy a few as nursing homes, which is very majestic. ”

"Just for the sake of prestige? So how much are these slaves worth? Xu Shiyang asked with a smile.

"Depending on whether it is strong or not, it is about 5 or so, and it is said that there are some that can be sold for 10 guan."

"Wow, that's a lot. If I sell strong Tartar slaves, how much do you think you can sell? ”

"It's ......." Gan Xiong hesitated and replied: "I don't think the gentry may dare to buy it." ”

"They were scared."

Xu Shiyang nodded:

"However, if the Tartars are no longer a threat to Jiangnan - for example, if I cut off the Grand Canal and separate the connection between the Great Zhou and the Jin and Yuan Tatars, maybe the gentry will have the audacity to buy a few Tartar slaves to put up a façade."

"If that's the case, I guess someone will buy it for thirty times." Gan Xiong said with a smile: "This is also a big business. ”

Xu Shiyang smiled and didn't say anything more.

At this moment, he was really moved.

The Xu family could not survive forever on pirates or the support of the Great Zhou court, and Xu Shiyang had to have his own economic support, at least to be able to be self-sufficient.

There are few horses in the south, Xu Shiyang hired a few mule carts on the dock, and took half of the guards into Lin'an Mansion by car, and the rest of the guards and crew stayed near the dock temporarily.

On the way from the wharf to the Lin'an City Gate, there was an endless stream of people coming and going, many of them in ornate sedan chairs or comfortable carriages, and even the servants who followed the sedan chairs appeared to be richly dressed.

These men occupy a position in the middle of the road, and occasionally they meet acquaintances, and they will stop to have a few words conveyed by the servants.

On both sides of the road are plainly dressed civilians, perhaps the economic conditions of the civilians are also quite comfortable, Xu Shiyang always feels that the faces of the people here have a look that the people of the northern dock fort do not have.

Before entering the city, the prosperity at this moment was enough to shock the uninformed guards around Xu Shiyang.

Including Zhao Lin.

"It's so prosperous! It deserves to be Lin'an! ”

Zhao Lin's mouth was slightly open, looking around with his neck curled like a mole.

"That's right, bustling ......"

Xu Shiyang accentuated his tone and said word by word:

"Pro! Quiet! ”

Zhao Lin suddenly turned his head and looked at Xu Shiyang.

The latter is reluctant to explain more.

In front of the city gate of Lin'an, Xu Shiyang paid the fare and dismissed the convoy - Lin'an has a city gate tax, and it is too wasteful to take the convoy into the city, and only the real big families will put this kind of score.

However, it is not particularly strange for a hillbilly who does not have a BMW incense car to be stopped at the city gate, not to mention that Xu Shiyang and his entourage are all armed with blades.

Fortunately, Gan Xiong was often ordered by the Li family to go into the city to run errands, and he muttered a few words to the little official guarding the door, and Xu Shiyang paid another 500 copper coins, so the little official was no longer entangled.

"It's not a few embarrassments, after all, this Lin'an is the foot of the Son of Heaven, the first good place."

Maybe it's because he can't afford to offend the Li family, maybe it's because he received the money, and the little official also explained a few words very intimately:

"You all know what Master Li does, and you still have so many murder weapons, if you collide with any nobleman, I can't afford it."

"Rest assured, my lord, we're not here to cause trouble." Xu Shiyang smiled kindly: "It's just that my brother is going to study, and now the road is not quiet, so I have to take the guy into the city as a last resort, and we will never collide with the nobles." ”

It was probably the first time that the little official himself called "adult", and he said with a smile on his face: "That's how it should be!" That's exactly how it should be! ”

"Tartar...... No, the Daikin envoy is here! ”

Suddenly there was a hysterical scream from the high city head:

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”
