Zhong Hao looked at Shen Qianqian very eagerly and said, "Then Qianqian girl, hurry up and ask your master, right?!" ”

Shen Qianqian snorted and said, "You help us brew soju first, if you perform well, I will be happy, and I will naturally ask the master to agree to teach you this qi conduction technique!" If you can't satisfy me, don't even think about it! ”

Zhong Hao thought that he could help the Haichao Gang brew some soju and learn the qi conduction technique handed down by the ancestor of Fuyao Zi Chen Xuan, and he couldn't help but be very happy, and he was naturally interested in helping the Haichao Gang brew soju, so he immediately agreed to help the Haichao Gang brew soju. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At that moment, Zhong Hao stopped talking nonsense, and immediately wanted to help the Haichao Gang brew soju.

Zhong Hao asked Shen Qianqian to arrange a larger room for him, and asked Shen Qianqian to follow his request and let a few Haichao Gang help prepare the guys who made soju.

When the guys who needed it were ready, they asked the Tide Gang to move some of the drinks they brewed on the island to this house. Zhong Hao drove Shen Qianqian and those Haichao Gang members out, and prepared to start brewing soju in that big house!

To put it bluntly, this brewing soju is distilled in a pot, which is not too difficult, and if you are not careful, it will be easily learned by others, so Zhong Hao thinks it is better to take precautions! This secret method of soju, he is also going to make a lot of money in Tokyo with Pan Xu! Besides, a hundred jars of soju is not too much work, Zhong Hao can do it with a little effort himself, and he doesn't need no one to help.

It took Zhong Hao a whole morning to work in this big room before he could set up the pot. In the afternoon, Zhong Hao poured the self-brewed liquor on Huangcheng Island into the pot and began to distill it in the pot.

In one afternoon, six or seven jars of soju were distilled. Zhong Hao tasted it, the taste can only be said to be good, it has been a long time since he made soju by himself, and his craftsmanship seems to have regressed a little.

Of course, Zhong Hao also knew in his heart that in fact, it was not mainly a matter of his own craftsmanship, in the final analysis, the distillation technology was like that, and there was not too much difficulty. The reason why the taste of the shochu brewed this time is not as good as that of the natural residence is that the sake brewed on the main island really does not taste good, and there is no good shochu steamed.

However, Shen Qianqian gave Zhong Hao's steamed soju to the men on the island to taste it, and everyone shouted that they were happy. It seems that this wine should still be very marketable here!

Zhong Hao was originally a little dissatisfied with the soju he made, but after thinking about it, anyway, he sold it to those Jurchen barbarians, and they just drank this soju strong enough, and as for the taste and texture, probably they didn't drink it much, almost enough.

The next day, Zhong Hao asked Shen Qianqian to collect the brewed liquor on the island, regardless of whether it was self-brewed or bought, and moved it all here, while he was busy steaming them into soju.

In one day, Zhong Hao was so tired that he had back pain, but he finally distilled fifteen or sixteen jars, plus the six or seven jars yesterday, there were also more than twenty jars of soju.

When Zhong Hao stopped in the evening, he called Shen Qianqian to bring someone to carry the soju.

Shen Qianqian saw that Zhong Hao had made more than 20 jars of soju in more than a day, and couldn't help but smile with joy, and said crisply: "I didn't expect that although you are flamboyant and always love to deceive people, you are very happy to do things." ”

Zhong Hao couldn't help but say with a bitter face: "When did I deceive someone?" Speaking of deceiving people, you and the big boss are ruthless when you come to Laizhou to deceive me and Lu Xizhe! deceived us into thinking that you were weak little women, and you were beaten for nothing! ”

"You still say! Didn't you say this morning that making this soju is very time-consuming and laborious, you can't make ten altars in a day, but you have built more than 20 altars in more than a day, what is not a big liar? As for me and my sister becoming weak women in Laizhou, hehe, we are afraid that the government will pay attention to us and delay us to talk about business with the Luo family, and we are afraid of bad people like you! ”

Zhong Hao couldn't help but be ashamed: "How did I become a bad person?" If I were a bad person, would I still come forward to save you two weak women when I saw you two weak women being bullied? You two are hard-hearted, obviously you are all in kung fu, but you watched me and Lu Xizhe's kid being beaten, and didn't come forward to help, and you were embarrassed to say that I was a bad person. Besides, I'm not here to learn your qi conduction technique, why are you working so hard this day, I'm so tired that I'm about to vomit blood, you have to get me some hard vegetables tonight, so I can make up for it! Also, don't forget to teach me how to conduct qi! ”

Shen Qianqian said with a smile: "Well, I, Shen Qianqian, will do what I say, as long as you are not a spy of the government, I will keep my promise." ”

Zhong Hao secretly thought in his heart: You are a woman, not a gentleman, so the ghost believes in your promise! Master Kong is right, only women and villains are difficult to raise. Isn't it just you two women who turned around and didn't admit it yesterday? I am making sake today to show my sincerity, and in two days, if you don't hurry up and implement the matter of teaching me the Qi Channeling Technique, I will not make a strike.

……………………

Zhong Hao rubbed his tired waist and followed Shen Qianqian back to the wooden house where they lived.

In the evening, Shen Qianqian really made some hard dishes for Zhong Hao, there is no red meat such as beef and sheep on the island, but there is no shortage of all kinds of seafood and fish, and this dinner can be regarded as hearty.

After dinner, Zhong Hao chatted with Shen Qianqian.

Shen Qianqian has a lively and cheerful personality, and she has lived on the island for a long time, so she is less bound by etiquette and religion, so she is used to being free, and she does not have so much avoidance with Zhong Hao.

Although Shen Qianqian has lived on the island for a long time, she has also read books and likes poetry. According to her, this reading and literacy was also taught by her master Zhang Zhen.

While chatting, Zhong Hao could see that Shen Qianqian still admired his great talent, of course, Shen Qianqian would never say it. I have to say that in the Great Song Dynasty, a literati, especially a literati who can make good poems, no matter where they are, they are very popular. Of course, the premise is that the people there must be literate and read.

If you go to the place where force is respected in Western Xia, people revere those heroes who are strong in force, of course, the upper class of Western Xia also respects this talent.

Zhong Hao asked about the Haichao Gang, and Shen Qianqian explained again.

It turned out that the former big boss of the Haichao Gang was called Jiang Haichao. This Jiang Haichao was a former general in Wu Yue and was a close confidant of Qian Yu, the king of Wu Yue. In the second year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Kingdom, Qian Yu, the king of Wuyue, was ordered to enter Bianliang, Tokyo, and Jiang Haichao was ordered to stay in Hangzhou at that time. After Qian Yu, the king of Wuyue, entered Beijing, he was detained by Emperor Taizong Zhao Kuangyi, and had to sacrifice his territory to the Great Song Dynasty.

After Qian Yu, the king of Wuyue, was imprisoned in Tokyo and had to sacrifice the land of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song court immediately sent officials to accept and manage the land of Wuyue. Jiang Haichao and the old generals and court officials of Wu Yue were naturally not trusted, and they were basically given a higher idle position to dry them up.

Originally, Jiang Haichao, like many of Wu Yueguo's old departments, had already looked down on these officials, fame and fortune, and was already a little disheartened, and just wanted to live their lives in peace, but the Great Song Dynasty did not give them the opportunity to live a stable life.

In the twelfth year of Taiping Xingguo, the 60th birthday of Qian Yu, the king of Wuyue, Emperor Taizong Zhao Kuangyi sent an envoy to congratulate, and Qian Yu, the king of Wuyue, died violently that night. Although Emperor Taizong repeatedly clarified that this matter had nothing to do with the envoys he sent, many of the original Wu Yue generals knew that their Wu Yue King Qian Yu was poisoned by him. Because with the poisoning of Qian Yu, the king of Wuyue, many of the old generals and important ministers of Wuyue were also liquidated by Emperor Taizong Zhao Kuangyi.

Jiang Haichao felt the shamelessness and viciousness of Emperor Taizong Zhao Kuangyi, and was unwilling to serve the Great Song Dynasty, also to avoid being liquidated by Zhao Kuangyi, so he felt that he could not sit still. He contacted some of his colleagues and the old ministry to find a way to protect himself. But at that time, the world of the Great Song Dynasty had been stabilized, and his few colleagues and old departments, if they raised troops against the Great Song Dynasty, it would be tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg and sacrificing in vain, so Jiang Haichao took his subordinates and fled into the sea, so as not to be poisoned by Emperor Taizong!

After Jiang Haichao led some of the old troops to escape into the sea, after several twists and turns, he finally found the land of Liaodong in the Khitan and the Huangcheng Island and Qin Island in the Great Song Dengzhou as a place to settle.

Wu Yueguo was originally close to the sea, and his shipbuilding and sea navigation skills were already superb. After arriving on this Huangcheng Island, Jiang Haichao and his subordinates established the Haichao Gang to sell goods between Liaodong and Dengzhou to make profits. The relationship between the Great Song Dynasty and the Khitan has always been tense, but the Great Song Dynasty and the Khitan both have some goods that the other side needs, so the Haichao Gang travels between Liaodong and Dengzhou, which is really profitable.

Although the Haichao Gang is at sea, it still uses the military to rule the gang and rarely harass the people. Because they can bring precious things from Liaodong, and the price is cheap, they have always been liked by the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty.

After Jiang Haichao's death, his son Jiang Lifan was elected as the gang leader, and during his 30 years as the leader of the Haichao Gang, he continued to lead the Haichao Gang to survive and develop on this Huangcheng Island.

Now the girl Jiang Yuhan, the big boss of the Haichao Gang, is the only child of Jiang Lifan, the former big boss of the Haichao Gang. After Jiang Lifan's death last year, some veterans of the Haichao Gang felt the contribution of their parents and ancestors to the Haichao Gang, and recommended Jiang Yuhan as the leader of the Haichao Gang. And Shen Qianqian is the daughter of a veteran gang surnamed Shen of the Haichao Gang, this general surnamed Shen died in a battle against pirates and robbery, Jiang Lifan took Shen Qianqian as his goddaughter, so he and Jiang Yuhan sisters are commensurate. After Jiang Yuhan became the big boss, he appointed Shen Qianqian to be the head of the Haichao Gang, in charge of the gang's internal law and discipline and investigation of illegal matters.

Jiang Yuhan and Shen Qianqian are both young girls, and there are many gangs in the gang who are not satisfied, and Jiang Yuhan is very strict with the gang, although the Haichao Gang is considered to be pirates by the Song Dynasty, but the Haichao Gang never does anything to plunder, so many gangs are dissatisfied with Jiang Yuhan's appointment as the boss. And Shen Qianqian was in charge of the punishment of the Haichao Gang, but if there were mistakes, they would never be tolerated, and they would be punished heavily, so it also caused dissatisfaction among many gangs.

Fortunately, there are some of Jiang Lifan's original veteran generals, who are also veterans in the gang now, and they support the second daughter. In addition, the second daughter studied under Zhang Zhen, and her martial arts were strong, and everyone was afraid of them, but they didn't dare to do anything wrong, so they barely stabilized the situation.

Jiang Yuhan has been working hard for the livelihood of the Haichao Gang since he took over as the head of the Haichao Gang last year.

But since last year, the Ocean Tide Gang has indeed encountered a lot of trouble!

The first is the small group of pirates on some nearby islands. In addition to the two large islands of Huangcheng Island and Chin Island, there are more than 100 small islands in the vicinity of this Huangcheng Island. There are also some Song pirates on this small island, they generally do not produce, and mainly rely on being second-class dealers between Khitan and Great Song merchants to survive, of course, in addition, that is to do robbery at sea without a capital business! Most of the trade between Liaodong and Dengzhou was controlled by the Haichao Gang, and these small groups of pirates could only wait for the Haichao Gang to eat the meat and drink a little soup.

In the past, when Jiang Lifan was there, these small groups of pirates basically did not dare to provoke the Haichao Gang. The Haichao Gang is strong and strong, and it has always been a military rule of law, with strict discipline and very strong combat effectiveness. But now that Jiang Yuhan has become the leader of the Haichao Gang, those pirates feel that she can't subdue the unruly Haichao Gang, which will definitely cause the Haichao Gang's combat effectiveness to be greatly reduced. Naturally, they wanted to overthrow the behemoth that the Haichao Gang had pressed on their heads, so that they could get an extra share of the trade between Liaodong and Dengzhou.

In addition to a small group of Song pirates, the Goryeo pirates on the eastern island of Liangtong also began to attack the ships of the Haichao Gang. In the past, there were very few conflicts between the Goryeo pirates on Huangcheng Island and Yeondon Island, and although everyone ate together in the North Sea, the place and method of eating together were different, so there was no big conflict of interest.

The Goryeo pirates on Yeondon Island did not produce anything, but mainly made a living by robbing the ships of the maritime merchants who traveled between the Khitan and Goryeo, and between the Great Song and Goryeo.

Of course, these Goryeo pirates on the island of Liangtong are not all living on robbery, after all, robbery is said to be a business without capital, but those large maritime merchant fleets that dare to run by sea are not good at stubble, and the force configuration on the fleet is not low, and it is inevitable that they will be damaged when robbing. They mainly robbed the small merchant fleets.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the ships of the large fleets passing by pay the tolls, they will naturally let the ships of the large fleets pass. Most of these large fleets were highly armed forces, and the sailors they wore were also strong samurai, and if they wanted to rob them, these Korean pirates had to pay a great price. If they were willing to pay the tolls, the Goryeo pirates wouldn't have fought them.

The Goryeo pirates mainly made a living by robbing the ships that traveled between the Khitan and Goryeo, and between the Great Song and Goryeo, while the Haichao gang on Huangcheng Island operated mainly between the Khitan coast and Denglai, and their interests and spheres of influence did not conflict with each other. Occasionally, the Haichao Gang on Huangcheng Island would escort some of the Great Song Sea merchant fleets to Goryeo, but they all paid tolls according to the rules. There hasn't been much conflict between them.
