Tian Zhiguang's eyes lit up, and his expression became excited, "I don't know what the rent is?" ”

Nangong Jin smiled: "I have conditions. If you charter a ship, you must buy a ship, enter and exit from the moon port, pay taxes to the government, and do not smuggle it. The crew is prepared by yourself, and the damage is repaired by yourself, with an annual rent of 800 taels and a deposit of 3,005. From Yuegang to any place in Daming, I will provide land transportation, but you have to pay the relevant fees. I've been here for the past few days, and Mr. Tian has time to think about it. ”

"Then if you decide, do you want to go to Moon Harbor to pick up the ship?" Tian Zhiguang asked.

"You can take it now. But after I draw the pattern of Xiang Kee, then the first stop must be Moon Harbor, of course, you can enter the port in the name of Guang Kee Shipping Company. ”

"That's four thousand three hundred taels, and I can drive the boat away?" Tian Zhiguang confirmed again.

Nangong Jin nodded, "Yes." However, the document must be a red deed drawn by the Quanzhou government, signed once a year. If you change the ship without permission, arrest the ship, or even violate the agreement, I will ask the government to punish your whole family and send you to prison. ”

"These conditions are not harsh. Okay, when can I sign up? Tian Zhiguang almost didn't think about it anymore, he didn't even hope to buy an ocean-going ship with the 5,000 taels he mentioned, "I can't leave the South China Sea, so Guangji will let my son be the captain and run the ship." ”

"Don't think about it anymore?"

Tian Zhiguang shook his head, "No need, I've been thinking about it for months." The conditions proposed by Nangong Gongzi are already better than the best results I can think of. ”

Nangong Jin nodded, "You come tomorrow, and I'll get the deed ready." However, the boat will not be able to leave until I take the paperwork to Quanzhou Mansion to complete the red deed. You can pick the boat, but if you feel that the boat is damaged, I am not responsible for repairing it. After signing the contract, you can repair the ship and recruit the crew first. ”

"I understand." Tian Zhiguang stood up and bowed to Nangong Jin, "Thank you Nangong Gongzi." Tian went back first to prepare the silver. ”

Tian Zhiguang's affairs were done very quickly, Nangong Jin didn't want to guess the purpose of his desperate ship, as long as he didn't lose money and pulled business for Yuegang, then there would be no problem.

However, Guangji was very careful, obviously spending money to repair the ship, also in the name of Quanzhou Xiangji. Nangong Jin understood his concerns and did not object.

But no matter how low-key Guangji is, there are still some people who have the same experience as Tian Zhiguang and come to the door. As a result, three ships were chartered before they left the South China Sea.

It's just that these things that Nangong Jin did finally attracted the attention of the Nanhai faction.

On this day, the three of them dealt with the problem of ships on the dock outside the city, and as soon as they returned to the inn, they saw a familiar figure.

"Master!" Yao Fangyu was surprised.

Han Cuiping sat in the store and drank tea, not even glancing at her from the corner of her eye. Next to her sat a teenager in his teens, looking at Yao Fangyu with a serious face.

"Senior sister, why don't you go back to the South China Sea faction when you go back to the South China Sea? Instead hang out with this man? Don't you feel ashamed of a woman who hasn't married yet? The boy asked.

After a short period of uneasiness, Yao Fangyu smiled generously: "Senior Brother Han, I haven't seen you for a long time. I don't know if it's a chance encounter or a deliberate waiting? ”

Han Baitao's face was expressionless, "You are not qualified to make us wait." Then he pointed to Gong Jin, "My mother and I are here to inform you that the ships of the Dali Merchant are all from our Han family, if you make any more disturbances, we will sue the official!" ”

Nangong Jin was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you the owner of Dali Firm?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, you can already go back to Quanzhou." Han Baitao tried his best to make a majestic adult.

Nangong Jin smiled and ignored him, took Yao Fangyu and Feng Mo'er to order a few dishes, and ordered them to be sent to the room, and then, without looking at the mother and son, went upstairs directly.

Han Baitao slapped the table hard and yelled: "Nangong Jin! ”

Nangong Jin ignored it even more.

Han Baitao jumped up, blushed, rushed to the staircase, pointed at Nangong Jin and roared, "Nangong Jin! I'm talking to you, and you'll get out of the South China Sea in one hour! ”

Nangong Jin looked at him, sighed slightly, and said leisurely: "I don't talk to rude people. ”

"You, you......." Han Baitao pointed at him.

I only heard Han Cuiping's cold voice, "I've been sitting here, and I haven't seen a polite junior come forward to pay a respect." ”

These two groups of people had the meaning of quarreling, and the second and third tables of people who were originally sitting in the inn hall quietly retreated at some point.

Nangong Jin was helpless, so she had to walk back to Han Cuiping and salute, "The little nephew has seen Mrs. Han." ”

"No need to be polite." Han Cuiping waved her hand, "The second son is busy, he has been to the South China Sea for so many days, and even the Yao family has visited, why did he forget to come to the South China Sea faction?" ”

"I came to Nanhai this time because I had some things to deal with, and I wanted to pay an official visit before leaving. I didn't expect to meet Mrs. Nangong Jin didn't sit down, still looking like she was going to leave at any time. Yao Fangwei stood behind him, but Feng Mo'er was waiting for the two of them by the stairs.

Han Cuiping said to herself, "Some people are learning from Dayu to control the water, and they don't enter the house. Of course, girls are extroverted, and I'm just a teacher, so I can't care about it. However, the marriage is a major event, the parents' orders, the words of the matchmaker, and Ben is a concubine, you have to think clearly. ”

Nangong Jin laughed, "That's what Mrs. Han said. However, the marriage contract between the Pingyang Nangong clan and the Nanhai Yao clan is still there, and there is no such thing. A few days ago, the little nephew also went to visit Yao's house, but unfortunately the elders in the family were not there, and I also wanted to talk about the marriage contract in detail. ”

Han Cuiping glanced at Nangong Jin and sneered, "Okay, this doesn't matter about our Nanhai faction." Then I'll see if you can marry the Pingyang Nangong clan and leave. ”

Nangong Jin was unhappy in her heart, but she still smiled and said: "Mrs. Han, the little nephew still has something to deal with, if there is nothing to do, the little nephew will leave first." ”

"Tao'er's words are what I mean. Are you going now, or are you going early tomorrow morning? "Mrs. Han doesn't look at Nangong Jin.

Nangong Jin frowned, "Xiang Ji and Dali Firm have a sales and purchase document, and Xiang Ji has paid off the ship price and obtained the ship deed. What Mrs. Han meant is unknown. ”

Han Cuiping turned her head to stare at Nangong Jin, "Do you think you can sail out of the South China Sea?" ”

Nangong Jin said with a smile: "The family has family rules, the state has national laws, and everything you do is in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, how can Mrs. Han say this?" ”

Han Cuiping stood up, walked in front of Nangong Jin, and smiled slightly, "I don't want to do something bad, after all, I also have a little friendship with your father." He looked sideways at Yao Fangyu behind Nangong Jin and said, "Choose a person or a boat, you choose one of the two, and I, Han Cuiping, am also reasonable." After speaking, he said to Han Baitao: "Let's go." ”

Han Cuiping's fuss made Feng Mo'er even more curious, and she wanted to ask several times at the dinner table, but she didn't ask. But Nangong Jin acted as if nothing had happened, and discussed with everyone what to deal with on the boat in the afternoon, after all, there were still seven ships to sail back to Quanzhou for repairs. It's not impossible to transfer some people from Xiangji to drive the boat, but it is necessary to have seven boats, and there is definitely none, if you learn to move ants, I don't know when it will be delayed. With Han Cuiping's appearance, Nangong Jin wanted to let the ship leave the South China Sea earlier.

"Ah Jin ignored that lady's words?" Feng Mo'er finally couldn't help but ask.

"Ship or man?" Nangong Jin laughed, "She doesn't have this right." The boat is Boss Zeng's, and with Sister Feng here, I am very relieved. As for the human ....... Nangong Jin glanced at Yao Fangyu, "My maiden surname is Yao and not Han." ”

Yao Fangyu smiled bitterly, "What Shi Niang said is not wrong, the South China Sea Party has a great influence here, and I am afraid that it is no less than the Nangong Clan in Pingyang." ”

Nangong Jin looked at Yao Fangyu and gave a reassuring look, "I know." The past few days of discussing charters with those firms have also made me understand one thing. The influence of the Nanhai faction is huge, but it is not the Han family. If the South China Sea faction belonged to the Han family, how could those businesses still survive in the South China Sea? ”

Yao Fangyu nodded, "Indeed, Nanhai has always been three families who take turns to be the bankers. Those businesses don't leave, waiting for the next leader. Then he sighed and said, "It's not easy. Otherwise, the Dong family would not leave. ”

As he was talking, someone suddenly knocked on the door, "Nangong Gongzi, there is an urgent matter." ”

Outside the door was the shopkeeper in the store, holding a letter in his hand, "Childe, I just received it, and I sent it to you as soon as I saw that it was urgent." ”

Nangong Jin took it, gave a few taels of silver casually, and the old shopkeeper left with a thousand thanks. Nangong Jin opened the letter and read it all with a strange expression.

"What's going on again?" Feng Mo'er asked with a smile.

Nangong Jin handed the letter to Yao Fangyu, "Do you remember the recipe in your father-in-law's account book?" Sent by Du Ling. ”

Du Ling's letter was not long, but his tone was urgent. At first glance, those prescriptions are messy and have all kinds of cures, but if you carefully study the time to take them, there is a problem. Of course, this problem only appears in women, and if the person taking it is a man, it is just a few patches of messy medicine. Because, if these patches are mixed at a specific time, it will cause blood flow to stop, and in severe cases, there will be symptoms of blood collapse, and if you take it during pregnancy, there will be a risk of slippage. These prescriptions have been prescribed for more than three months, and if there is such a patient, the medicine must be stopped immediately, otherwise there will be a fear of life.

Yao Fangyu's expression became serious, and she looked up at Nangong Jin fiercely, "What do you mean?" ”

"Perhaps, those recipes are not for your sister." Nangong Jin said nonsense.

"Father-in-law?" Yao Fangyu frowned, "Did my father-in-law ask the doctor to prescribe these prescriptions?" Why did he do it? ”

"Or maybe not. General Liang did not ask for a doctor, but gave him money. Just like he has always recorded that he will give you thirty taels of silver per month, this silver is given to the Nanhai faction, or Xu Baoshen, after all, Xu Zhangmen is also your sister's master. Nangong Jin stopped talking no further, this matter involved Xu Baoshen, and he didn't want Yao Fangyu to think that he was deliberately smearing him.

Yao Fangyu didn't seem to notice Nangong Jin's intentions, and followed his train of thought, "You mean, the master, or the master, hired a doctor and prescribed these recipes, and the father-in-law didn't worry about copying a copy and keeping it?" ”
