Chapter 215: Shuangyu is recognized and sent to the ship
Shuangyu Island is known as the Golden Port and the Pearl of the Asian Sea in the notes of Westerners at that time. Domination of this island means infinite wealth and power at sea. Of course, it also represents a bloody struggle, and Li Guangtou is an outlaw who escaped from prison in Fujian.
and the generation of pirates Deng Fang, Xu Qi is different, although they are not good characters, but in Deng Fang Xu Qi's heart always looks down on Monk Li, a newcomer, which is basically the same as the famous prostitutes in Qinglou and the prostitutes who look down on half-hidden doors, but Shuangyu Island is originally a lawless place, and the contradictions between the two sides must be solved with knives in the end.
Monk Li always has to live in Hangzhou City for a period of time in May, June and July every year, and this year is the same, but in June, he suddenly got the news that his power on the island has been seized by Deng Fang and Xu Qiqiang, and his men were defenseless, and the other party worked together to catch him off guard.
Now, even if you want to go back to Shuangyu Island, you are not allowed to enter the port. Now Monk Li still has more than a dozen cargo ships in Ningbo, and he can't attack Shuangyu at all.
After making a fortune, his crime had long been eliminated in his hometown in Fujian with silver, and now he is unwilling to return to his hometown, and he can't take Shuangyu. Li Guangtou already has a huge amount of belongings in his hands, and there are more than 100 strong men from his hometown to escort him. I was not afraid, so I simply stayed in Hangzhou.
Deng Fang and Xu Qi also had dozens of leaders under them, for fear that they would kill Li Guangtou and chill the hearts of their subordinates. Let out the words, as long as Li Guangtou no longer sets foot in Shuangyu, this matter will be overturned.
Suddenly, the foundation was usurped, and Li Guangtou was not a good man and a woman, how could he swallow this evil breath, but he was really helpless, he was there every day to be careful and vigilant, and the anger was getting bigger and bigger. Nor did his companions touch his anger in the past.
However, the transportation in this year is inconvenient, and the transmission of information is even more slow, Qiu Shugang, the owner of the porcelain shop in Yangzhou, did not know about Li Guangtou at all, and saw that the person of the Daping guaranteed Jiang Feng to come to the door, and directly introduced Li Guangtou, the largest pirate merchant in these years, that is, the largest private ship dealer.
Seeing Jiang Feng who was stunned, Li Guangtou also felt embarrassed, after all, this is not a glorious thing, Jiang Feng took a sip of the tea bowl, Monk Li's delicious food and utensils in his house, he naturally would not be frugal after earning so much silver. But the best tea doesn't taste good in the mouth.
Jiang Feng and Monk Li seemed to be discussing here amicably, Jiang Feng's subordinates were holding short firearms and sharp blades and looking around nervously, and these young people of the Li family were also staring at here with weapons in their hands.
This time it seemed that he had run away in vain, although Jiang Feng was disappointed in his heart. However, he also knew that the other party would definitely not lie to himself because of this, so he continued to ask:
"May I ask Li Yuanwai, so what is the way to build a ship and buy a ship?"
"We do know a few of them, but we don't know what size of ship this lord needs."
When Jiang Feng heard this question, he really didn't know how to answer, and after thinking for a while, he said:
"I don't know if Li Yuanwai knows the Xia family in northern Fujian."
Monk Li's eyes widened suddenly, obviously he was quite surprised to hear this in the innermost part of Jiang Feng, and then nodded, Jiang Feng was also quite surprised in his heart, originally asked tentatively, but he didn't expect the other party to really know, it seems that the Xia family's business is really not small, since he knows it, it is easy to compare, Jiang Feng said directly:
"The boat I want to buy must at least be about the same as the Xia family's largest ship."
When Monk Li heard this, he shook his head again and again, and said directly:
"His family's ship is already very good, this is still the relationship accumulated by his generation as officials in Quanzhou Port, and those boatmen who build big ships are now surrounded by his family and do work for his family."
Speaking of this, Monk Li slapped the table there again, and said unevenly:
"The Xia family's luck is really good, I don't know why I found a private port in the north, and the business in the north of Japan is about to take half of it."
Jiang Feng knew that he was really going to run away in vain this time, waved his hand at the guards around him, motioned for his subordinates to put away their weapons, and was just about to say a polite goodbye. Monk Li suddenly remembered something, and asked politely there:
"This lord has not yet asked for his name!"
This kind of thing is quite ridiculous to say, the two of them have been scolding and fighting each other since they first met, and they have never asked Jiang Feng's name, but this is also one of the rules of maritime business, trading at sea is extremely risky, and after the ban on the sea, it is a cruel criminal law such as raiding the family and exterminating the family.
Therefore, except for the particularly large forces, the rest of the trade at sea is not named. Pure cash trading, Monk Li's move was also a test of Jiang Feng, but Jiang Feng didn't know such rules at all, not to mention him, even the iron dings and sailors who rotated on the ship around him didn't know.
There was such a fuss today, but there was no result, and Jiang Feng couldn't continue to play tricks, so he replied gently:
"Under the surname Jiang."
Unexpectedly, after this sentence came out, Monk Li stood up excitedly, took a step forward and asked:
"Could it be the Jiang family in Dengzhou, but the private port belongs to adults?"
Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment, thinking why he could know that he was Jiang from Dengzhou from this surname, he didn't expect that a safe harbor in this era was a big deal for smugglers, and the Xia family had the private port of Yantai Mountain Qianhu in Dengzhou, and now the power was getting bigger and bigger.
His competitors all inquired about who was in charge of the private port of Yantai Mountain, but the hundreds of people who were loyal to the Japanese were killed by Jiang Feng, and no one dared to go ashore rashly, and even if they asked the people of Dengzhou County, few people knew that there was a well-repaired private port on the side of Yantai Mountain near the sea.
Monk Li and Xu Qi once bought a sailor from the Xia family back then, and they knew about the port defense of Yantai Mountain, and there were still a few Western cannons standing there. The rest of the information is not clear, but it is known that the owner of the port is surnamed Jiang. In this conversation just now, Li Guangtou didn't think of this stubble at all at the beginning, and thought that it was a large coastal family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang that wanted to make some money at sea.
Although Jiangsu and Zhejiang are now mainly forbidden to the sea, there are many gentry along the coast, and even officials and nobles are involved in smuggling, and it is normal to send juniors from the family to ask about the price of the boat. But the young man in front of him had a northern accent, and he seemed to know something about the Xia family, and Qiu Shugang from Yangzhou introduced him, indicating that these people might have come from the north and south, so he simply gambled and asked questions.
Jiang Feng stood up slowly, he didn't expect the other party to guess his identity, he looked left and right at the men of the Li family, staring at them nervously with weapons in hand. Jiang Feng looked at his subordinates again, and Yang Shishi and Liu Shisan were more predictive of his orders.
The short fire gun that he had put away just now was held in his hand again and aimed at the people around him. Jiang Feng was already thinking about whether he could kill all these people in the Li family.
Li Guangtou watched Jiang Feng stand up and look around slowly, I don't know why he felt a chill on his body, he was also a big man on Shuangyu Island, and he was also a man known for his fierceness when he broke out of the sword and sword shadow, but at this time he felt depressed in his heart.
I couldn't help but gasp, thinking that the murderous aura on the other party's body was too heavy. Then he was rejoiced, did he let himself be right, the ingots that fell from the sky. Thinking of this, he quickly stood up and said with a smile:
"If it's really Lord Dengzhou Jiang, there is something to say here, something to say."
"I am Dengzhou Jiangfeng, and the port is mine."
Jiang Feng reached into his arms and held the dagger, at such a close distance, even if it was Monk Li's skills, he was sure to stab him to death, as for the dozens of people surrounding outside, just kill them all, I didn't expect that after I confessed, the original fake smile of Monk Li in front of him turned into a bright smile.
When it was really bright and bright, I thought that I couldn't buy a private boat, but I didn't expect that after Monk Li learned Jiang Feng's identity, he immediately patted his chest and said:
"Although Lord Jiang can rest assured, although Lao Li can't go to Shuangyu, there is no problem in bringing people to the island, and he will definitely take adults to sell the best and largest ships."
Seeing Jiang Feng's expression, Liu Shisan, who was on the side, took out the silver ticket of Chase Bank from his arms and put it on the table, Jiang Feng said slowly:
"This is the bill of the Chase exchanged between the north and the south, how much silver to buy a ship, although you open your mouth, you must be good, not afraid of expensive!"
The action over there was extremely unexpected, Monk Li pushed back the silver ticket on the table, and said with a smile:
"Although I Lao Li has no money now, there is no shortage of money, if you buy a boat, Lord Jiang, you will not buy too much for the first time, if it is under twenty ships, you don't need to spend a penny on adults, it will be regarded as a meeting gift for Lord Jiang."
There must be no benefit of sending it to the door in vain, but Jiang Feng let go of the dagger, sat on the chair, and asked rhetorically:
"Then what does Li Yuanwai want?"
Li Guangtou didn't expect Jiang Feng's speech to be so direct, and he coughed a few times before saying:
"My fleet is not crowded if there are more private ports for adults, right?"
Jiang Feng was worried that the port would always be dominated by the Xia family's fleet, and in the long run, he was afraid that he would be held hostage by the other party, but he didn't expect that Monk Li had spent such a big price, and he actually took the initiative to send it to the door to ask for cooperation, and he couldn't ask for it.
I was about to answer, but suddenly I heard someone outside shouting while riding a horse:
"The gates are closed, the gates are closed."
