407. Preferential treatment for Kwong Kee
Wan Jiuxiao was entangled for a long time and finally asked: "Nangong Gongzi, can you do this, you let the boat sail fifty miles away, and then find a dock to repair?" As long as this range is opened, no one will have the ability to embarrass Nangong Gongzi anymore. Besides, there are docks everywhere in this area, so you don't have to worry about having nowhere to park. ”
Fifty miles away, it will not be the South China Sea, of course, Wan Jiuxiao will not be embarrassed. It's just the Nanhai faction's sphere of influence, not limited to Nanhai City. Nangong Jin smiled helplessly in her heart, and said with a frown on her face: "As soon as the ship goes to sea, it is a major matter related to human life. Lord Wan, I'll go back and let the craftsmen who repair the ship take a look, and tomorrow I will reply to Lord Wan? ”
"Okay, okay." Wan Jiuxiao nodded again and again.
"In that case, it's ......." Nangong Jin was embarrassed and said: "It's too chaotic on the dock now, and it may still be troublesome." I'll take the people here first, but the craftsman can't get on the boat, and tomorrow he won't be able to reply to the adults, so the matter will be ....... ”
"It's ......." Wan Jiuxiao's face wrinkled.
"Not only that, but then I'm going to have to get the crew on board so the boat can leave. This....... ”
Wan Jiuxiao hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Then, why don't you take the people away first, and then get on the boat in the afternoon to check?" ”
"Good. As long as you can get on board. Nangong Jin glanced at him, "However, if the ship is vandalized, this matter will be very troublesome at that time." There are many shareholders in Xiangji, and I am not the only one who can call the shots, so I have to explain to those friends in Beijing for such a big matter. ”
Wan Jiuxiao thought for a long time and sighed fiercely, "Things come one by one, look at the ship first and then talk about the back." Nangong Gongzi is a reasonable person, and when the time comes, he will have to ask Gongzi to help him find a way. ”
"Okay. As long as there is a way to think. Nangong Jin responded with a smile.

Nangong Jin went out of the Yamen of Nanhai Mansion, so he asked the door to run errands to deliver a message to Feng Mo'er on the dock, and walked to the Guangji boat by himself.
Since signing the charter document with Nangong Jin, Guangji seems to have come to life. Although there are not many people in the boat, it is very busy and lively.
Nangong Jin handed over the prayer note and was led to the inner courtyard. After a while, Tian Zhiguang hurriedly walked in.
"Nangong Gongzi, I was looking for you in the morning, and the people in the inn said that you were invited by the yamen. What do you think? Tian Zhiguang's face was full of anxiety. The dock was surrounded by the Nanhai faction all morning, and the main family was arrested by the government again, is this business yellow?
Nangong Jin said with a smile: "Master Wan is also reasonable, ask me something about the situation, and I will tell the truth." But he wanted me to sail fifty miles away. ”
"Fifty miles away? Well, that's not the South China Sea. Tian Zhiguang was anxious. He was confined to Nanhai City, and he signed a letter of guarantee at the Nanhai Mansion, otherwise he would have to repay the money of the Dali firm. But this money, Tian Zhiguang never thought of giving it.
"Yes, if you can drive fifty miles away, then it is better to go directly to Yuegang." Nangong Jin looked at Tian Zhiguang, "Now here, to be honest, I'm more worried that the South China Sea faction will destroy the ship." In addition, with the prestige of the Nanhai faction and the handling of the people of Wan Da, we will only be dumb to eat Coptis chinensis. ”
"W-What about this?" Tian Zhiguang was thinking, if this is the case, will Nangong Jin still return the lease? Three thousand and a half should be returned, and the eight hundred taels may be difficult to say, and the money spent on repairing the ship in the past few days has been spent in vain.
Nangong Jin seemed to see through him, and said: "If there is really a case, it doesn't hurt for me to return all four thousand three to Mr. Tian, but Mr. Tian may not have the opportunity to be a maritime merchant anymore." In the short term, Xu Baoshen will not hand over the position of head to the Zhang family no matter what, it is better to learn from the Dong family, fill in the account and leave the South China Sea. ”
Tian Zhiguang really didn't expect this step yet, but Nangong Jin seemed to be right. The more time passes, the more unlikely anyone will resist the Han couple's approach, and they don't know until the head of the Zhang family takes over, and they don't know until the Year of the Monkey. Do you really want to learn from Dong Haishan and leave the South China Sea? Or, surrender to Han? Han Cuiping's heart is very small, she didn't give her a good face before, she must have remembered it in her heart. If you surrender to her, your life will not be better than now, and you will lose the support of the Zhang family.
Tian Zhiguang muttered, "What should I do?" What to do? "Now it's hard to find a way to go, but it's empty joy?
Nangong Jin looked at him and said solemnly: "If this is the case, my loss will only be greater." Now that everyone is in the same boat, the best outcome is, of course, that the Nanhai faction can take the right path and be sensible ....... ”
"How is this possible, Han Cuiping is not this kind of person......." As soon as Tian Zhiguang said this, he instantly felt that something was wrong, if he changed the Zhang family to be the head ....... Could it be that Nangong Jin means this? Tian Zhiguang turned his head to look at Nangong Jin.
"What I just said is just my hope," Nangong Jin sighed slightly, "The next best thing to do is to maintain the status quo." We do our business, the Han family is the head of the Han family, and the well water does not interfere with the river water. ”
Tian Zhiguang sighed, "It's not easy to talk about." ”
"I'm a foreigner, and Mr. Tian has no financial resources, so of course we can't do anything with just the two of us. The most important thing here is Zhang's attitude, does Mr. Tian know? Nangong Jin asked directly.
"Before being robbed by pirates, Zhang very much wanted Han to step down. In half a year, he forced the palace twice, but he was forced by Han Cuiping and Xu Baoshen. It's just that after the pirates, the Zhang family suffered heavy losses, not only lost the ship, but also killed a lot of people, so the strength of the Zhang family was greatly reduced. Ying, who had always been an ally, waited and watched, thinking that they would not be offended. However, Han Cuiping is a character who doesn't even let go of her own people, so where will she let them go. Tian Zhiguang took a breath, "That's it now, the Han family has become the dominant family." ”
It may not be that the Han family is dominant, but she relied on Zeng Yiyi and ate Wan Jiuxiao's temperament, and no one dared to resist. Wan Jiuxiao is not counting on it, has it been a ......?
"Can you talk to the person in charge of the Zhang family?" Nangong Jin doesn't care who will be the head of the South China Sea, he cares about if he really wants to give away this favor, there must always be someone who is okay, or can make it convenient for his marriage.
Tian Zhiguang smiled bitterly again, "A few years ago, Elder Zhang Muzhang's eldest son Zhang Jiong passed away suddenly, and Elder Zhang fell ill immediately, and now he is not well. Zhang Yi is the youngest son of Elder Zhang, and he is also the one who is preparing to take over as the head of the sect, and now he is serving at home every day, and he basically has no mind to care about the affairs of the Nanhai faction. ”
"Does Mr. Tian visit them often?" Nangong Jin asked.
"Well, I'll go when I have time. Elder Zhang is my elder, and I originally had a considerable friendship with Zhang Jiong, alas, he is gone, and I am still favored by him. Tian Zhiguang's expression was sad.
"Zhang Jiong......, what happened?" Nangong Jin asked.
"Drunk, accidentally fell into the river and drowned. At the time, there was no one around him, and we only found him the next day. Alas....... ”
Here, I'm afraid there is a story again. Nangong Jin no longer mentioned that he wanted to see Zhang Mu, but talked about the ship again, "Lord Wan said that the people from the Nanhai faction will leave in the afternoon, and we can get on the boat to check the condition of the ship." My idea is that if Mr. Tian can organize people to drive the boat now, then he can directly drive the boat to Yuegang. Xiang Ji has a semicolon in Yuegang, just look for them when you get to Yuegang. ”
Tian Zhiguang was taken aback, "But, but, the red deed hasn't arrived yet." ”
"It's not a day or two, I believe you."
Tian Zhiguang thought for a long time, and his expression slowly became resolute, "Okay! Moon Harbor is not far away, bring a few days of supplies, and you don't need too many people, it should be no problem to walk along the land. As he spoke, he looked at Nangong Jin, "Nangong Gongzi, do you really believe me?" ”
"I said you were in the same boat, and if I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have done business with you in the first place." Nangong Jin said with a smile. Anyway, the cost of the boat has already been recovered, and there is no question of believe it or not at all.
Tian Zhiguang nodded cautiously, "We remember that we are most honest. Don't worry, Childe, I'll arrange this immediately. ”
Nangong Jin didn't bother him anymore and left.
**********
By the afternoon, I don't know what Wan Jiuxiao did, at least the Nanhai faction did withdraw from the dock. The ship repair workers who were taken away by Feng Mo'er in the morning, including Peng Sheng, returned to the ship.
Throughout the day, people came to Nangong Jin from time to time, first six or seven cargo operation bosses who chartered ships together; After that, the owner of the shipyard, afraid of offending the South China Sea faction, wanted to settle the wages and did not do it; Even the shopkeeper of the Dali firm came to find out the situation.
However, Nangong Jin threw all these people to Yao Fangyu, and stayed in the kitchen for an afternoon, not only making a table of dishes, but also three or four snacks.
And Yao Fangyu was messed with like this, and she didn't have the heart to think about anything else. In the evening, the four people, including Peng Sheng, ate to their heart's content.
"This evening, the ship rented by Tian Zhiguang set sail, is it going to Yuegang?" Feng Mo'er asked Nangong Jin with a smile on her face, "Ah Jin, are you on a par with the Nanhai faction?" ”
Nangong Jin glanced at Yao Fangyu, "Don't talk nonsense, it was Lord Wan who asked us to drive the boat out fifty miles." ”
Yao Fangyu looked at Nangong Jin generously, "No wonder those shopkeepers of the goods store have been waiting for you at the inn for a day today." In the evening, even the proprietors arrived, and they were in a hurry. ”
Nangong Jin said innocently: "I haven't painted the pattern of the boat they rented. Why do you have to make them wait, otherwise, it won't show the specialness of Guangji. ”
Peng Sheng said with a sad face: "Today, the shopkeeper of the shipyard will not come tomorrow." Otherwise, let's drive back to Quanzhou to repair. Even if you can't find a crew here, you won't be able to find a crew here. ”
Nangong Jin said with a smile: "Wait a few more days, I have already asked the children in the Sea Ship Academy, as well as the empty crew, to come, seven ships will not be able to leave, and three ships will be assembled." It's all to the moon port, and it's closer. ”
"So, Tian Zhiguang also went to Yuegang?" Yao Fangyu asked with a smile.
"Alas, there is no difference between driving fifty miles out and going to Yuegang, so let him go to Yuegang, at least Uncle Wu is here." Nangong Jin confessed, and explained to Yao Fangyu: "I definitely didn't want to fight against the South China Sea Party, but Lord Wan wanted me to drive the boat away immediately." ”
Feng Mo'er laughed, "It's still Ah Jin's power, with such momentum in the morning, I think I'm going to be kicked out of the South China Sea today." ”
Nangong Jin said proudly: "Don't look at who I am." ”
A few people laughed for a while and then dispersed, as for the two rented out ships, as long as the cargo houses organized their crews, they would leave whenever they wanted.
