Chapter Seventy-Three, The "Tessie Pirates" Who Took Advantage of the Fire to Rob
Half a month later, Dalao came to Wu Jing's shop again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Wu, do you still have that magic medicine?" As soon as he entered, Darao shouted.
"Yes, of course, how about it, it's easy to use, right?" Wu Jing said with a grin.
"Very well, you speak very seriously." Dalao gave a thumbs up and said, "That magic medicine is better than the previous medicine, there are many people in the society, use it up, and change it." ”
"So fast?" Wu Jing looked surprised, and then said to Dalao, "Brother Dalao, I have something to remind you. We Han people have an old saying, called 'medicine is three parts poison', this blessing. Longevity. Although the ointment is good, it is a medicine after all, not food, and you can't eat and play with it. Eating too much, not good. ”
"I don't eat, I only suck." Darao said.
"If you suck too much, it's not good. Medicine is a thing that can only be used when it is cured, and if it is not used indiscriminately, it will have to be sick. Wu Jing said.
"What's wrong with sucking too much?" Darao asked.
"I don't know." Wu Jing said honestly, "But as long as it's medicine, you can't use it more." ”
"Okay, I see, there are fifteen deer skins here, let's change some magic medicine for me first." Dalao still looked unimpressed.
After another half a month, Dalao came to Wu Jing's shop again.
"Wu, can you borrow some of that medicine? When I have the fur, I'll pay you back. Darao's voice was much quieter.
"Brother Dalao, I am also a small business, so I can't borrow it. And without leather goods, I can't change money, I can't change money, I can't change back medicinal materials, don't you say? It's not like I won't help. Or, see what else you have to exchange for money, take it to another store, exchange the money and buy it again. Wu Jing still looked sincere.
"Apart from leather goods, what else can be exchanged for money in this mountain?" Darao asked.
"Much, wood, herbs, well, and the heads of the Bunun people? This one is the most valuable. Wu Jing replied.
"The head of the Bunun?" Darao asked.
"I heard that the Bunun people and the Zheng family had a fight, and the Zheng family paid for the heads of the Bunun people. Five taels of silver a piece. Wu Jing said.
Dalao's eyes lit up suddenly, his community (tribal alliance) and the Bunun people were not very good at dealing with each other, and often came out of each other's grass, (the number of people that fishing and hunting can carry is quite limited, so the various fishing and hunting tribes often attack each other, in a sense, this is like in the African savannah, carnivores will find every opportunity to attack the cubs of another group of predators.) Chopping down the Bunun is nothing to Darao. And if they are cut down, they can be used to exchange for magic medicine, and even a person's head can be used as several fine deerskins, which is really attractive.
"Where can I change it?" Dalao asked urgently.
Wu Jing originally planned to tell him to turn to the right and walk about fifty steps to arrive, but after thinking about it, it was estimated that Dalao couldn't tell the difference between left and right, so he pulled him to the door of the store and pointed to that side: "Do you see that big house?" Right there! As long as you take the head, you can exchange it for money, and then with the money, you can exchange it for whatever you want. ”
"Well, I'll take a look first." Darao said.
……
"Asen, these tricks of yours are really good." Zheng Zhifeng said happily, "Recently, there have been no Bunun people to make trouble for a long time, from other Shengfan, we got more than 400 heads, all of which are Shengfan's heads, but I don't know if it is Bunun people, but from the Bunun people have not moved at all for a while, it is estimated that there are definitely a lot of Bunun people here." I really didn't expect these students to be for that 'blessing. Longevity. The anointing is so hard. ”
"Third uncle, this 'Fu. Longevity. Once addicted, it is extremely difficult to break the cream. This thing originally came from the Great Food. Back then, there was a sect on the side of the Great Eclipse, which specialized in assassinating various high-ranking officials and kings. Third uncle, you also know that this kind of assassin, as long as he assassinates, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, he will definitely not be able to come back alive. Therefore, these assassins often had poison in their mouths when they performed the assassination, and after the assassination, regardless of success or failure, they immediately took poison and committed suicide. Third uncle, you also know how rare it is to be dead. Back then, Prince Dan wanted to find a dead soldier who assassinated the King of Qin, and how much energy was spent on Jing Ke. And this sect can produce such dead soldiers in batches. Third uncle, do you know what the reason is? Zheng Sen asked.
"It's hard to be, and this blessing. Longevity. Paste related? Zheng Zhifeng said.
"That's it." Zheng Sen said, "Those assassins are actually addicted to this thing, and once they don't have it, they immediately feel uncomfortable, it is said that it is like 10,000 ants burrowing into the cracks of their bones and biting." It's worse than dead. The boss of their sect usually lets these people suck Fu. Longevity. Anointing, when they hallucinate and feel comfortable, he lied to them that this is the heaven to go to after sacrificing for the sect. And if they are to be thorned, whoever does not want to do so will stop giving them the blessings. Longevity. anointed them, and made them miserable, and told them that this is the eternal punishment of hell. If you don't listen to your boss, you'll end up in hell. So the gang of sub-believers were naturally not afraid of death and became dead soldiers. ”
"So powerful?" Zheng Zhifeng was taken aback.
"Once this thing is addicted, it can do a lot of harm to the body. Therefore, our own people must be controlled, and we must not let them get infected with this. Whoever dares to suck this will be kicked out of the ranks immediately. Whoever wants to buy this from our people will kill his whole family! In addition, all sales channels must be firmly controlled by ourselves. Zheng Sen said viciously.
……
In a blink of an eye, it was August, and at this time, news came from the north, saying that Huang Taiji, who had just been proclaimed emperor and changed the name of the country from "Dajin" to "Daqing", sent soldiers and horses to enter Gyeonggi again, continuously defeated the Ming Dynasty army, and once again plundered a large number of people, and the world was shaken.
After Zheng Sen learned the news, he immediately found Zheng Zhifeng to discuss.
"Third uncle, Jianxuan has entered Kou Jinggi again, does the third uncle know about this?" Zheng Sen asked.
"Of course I know." Zheng Zhifeng said, "Ah Sen, the Ming Dynasty is really not going well these days. It took a whole year last year, and it was hard to suppress those rogues, and now Jianshen is here again. I lost the Ming Dynasty, and the losses of the soldiers and horses of the King of Qin in various places were also very small. I'm afraid this scoundrel is going to resurrect again. Alas, since the Han Dynasty, the dynasties in this world can only last for more than 300 years. Now I have been in the Ming Dynasty for almost 300 years...... Alas, every time the rogue was together, the imperial court took the trouble to either recruit peace or suppress it, and as a result, Jianxuan was killed. When it was finally done, Jian Yan retreated, and this rogue rose up again. The imperial court had to be busy at both ends, tearing down the east wall and repairing the west wall all day long, spending money like running water, but the result was ...... Alas, I see, I'm afraid this Ming Dynasty will be finished sooner or later! ”
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Zhifeng himself was taken aback. He hurriedly covered his mouth, looked around, and then smiled at Zheng Sen: "I drank a little wine just now, and I started talking nonsense, but I want to make you laugh." ”
"The third uncle's words are not all unreasonable. Now it's really a hurdle for my Daming. The natural disaster is so serious, and it happens to meet Jianxuan, the court can't come up with money to relieve the people, and the people have no food to eat, how can they not rob and rebel. Therefore, if Daming wants to get through this hurdle, the most important thing is to let the people have something to eat. Now my family is an official in Daming, and since he is an official of Daming, he has to share his worries for Daming. My family introduced a lot of homeless people some time ago, which can be regarded as a contribution to Daming. Otherwise, these homeless people will not be willing to starve to death like this, and a large number of homeless people will be like a large pile of dry firewood, as long as there is a spark, it will burn. If we hadn't brought them to Taiwan, as long as one of them shouted next to them, they would have all become gangsters immediately. Now the Ming Dynasty is indeed dangerous, but if it can survive the past, it may not be as prosperous as the Han Dynasty. Now that Jianshen is making such a fuss in Gyeonggi, Gyeonggi must be dilapidated, and there are homeless people everywhere who have no food. I wonder if we can go buy some more homeless people to come back. ”
"It's good to think about this thing, but it's not convenient to operate, although transporting from the north makes the homeless people have less distance to wander on the road, and their health will be much better, but we don't have many ways to go in the north, and secondly, our ship runs so far, but there is no port we control, which is also very inconvenient."
"It's not impossible to do things at the port." Zheng Sen said, "I know a good port. We could have taken it down and used it as a transit station. ”
"Where?" Zheng Zhifeng asked.
"Jeju Island in Goryeo." Zheng Sen said.
"Huh?" Zheng Zhifeng was taken aback and said, "But Goryeo is a subject country of my Ming Dynasty, and it is a country that is not conquered." How can we touch him? ”
"Who said we were going to move him? Can't the Japanese and the Tessi people rob Jeju Island? Zheng Sen laughed, "It's not a problem, what we have in our hands are Japanese." As for the Tessie, we now have a lot of Tessie-style ships on our hands, and there are quite a few Tessie sailors. We asked Old Jack to lead the team to occupy Jeju Island, and who knew that we did it? And with this island, if there is anything going on in the north in the future, our Zheng family will be able to intervene. ”
"What do you mean?" Zheng Zhifeng became more and more suspicious.
"In today's situation, if Daming can prosper, it is inevitable that there will be a war, which is an opportunity for our family to make contributions. If it is done well, drawing Lingyan Pavilion is not a dream. In the future, most of the places will be in the north, but my family's strength is on the sea, if there is no such base as Jeju Island, what kind of meritorious service will it be in the future? Zheng Sen explained.
Zheng Zhifeng looked at Zheng Sen with very suspicious eyes, and said after a while: "It's also a good thing to prepare in advance. But it's too big, and you'll have to get my brother's permission. ”
