Chapter 664: The Age of the Lend-Lease Zone

But in any case, the status of the Lu clan in the southeast has always been the first, and the great business of the user is no longer enough to describe the Lu clan. This time, the other three families each brought three 800-stone sea ships, but the Lu family brought four 800-stone sea ships to trade with the Japanese Kingdom.

The reason why it is an eight-hundred-stone sea ship, not a thousand-stone sea ship, is not that the four families can't afford to buy a thousand-stone sea ship, but because the thousand-stone sea ship belongs to the imperial court's sailors, and the use of merchants is restricted, and the four families don't want to arouse the jealousy of the imperial court, so they use a smaller eight-hundred-stone sea ship for maritime trade, which is already a giant in the hands of merchants.

"The Five Peaks Islands are indeed weird, I thought it was some pirates entrenched here, but now it looks a little different?"

Zhu Yan's eyes froze and said, "The wealth of this island is something I have never seen before, what do you think?" ”

"No!"

Lu Ming raised his hand and looked around, the musicians and orchids in the room were all brought by these people, but the wall had ears for him to guard.

Zhen Qian's guess was right, if these people saw a lone maritime merchant, they wouldn't mind making a cameo appearance as a pirate. After all, a shipload of goods by maritime merchants in these years is worth tens of thousands of yuan, and it is fake not to be tempted, but if the risk is too great, the damage to the family's reputation will outweigh the losses.

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as what we see, think about it, this place is not far from the Wa Kingdom, but the Wa Kingdom can not care about what to explain?"

Lu Ming's cold gaze swept over the faces of the three of them, making the three of them break out in a cold sweat on their backs, and the thoughts of wanting to rob were suddenly relieved, and they felt afraid of what they had just said.

"After we went to the island, we didn't see a soldier with a weapon in this place, but we saw a lot of uniformly dressed people, they are called patrol officers, and they have almost the same duties as the Datang Capture Officer, in this case, there must be an army on the island, but do you see the army?"

"Hehe, have you noticed, we seem to be the first batch of businessmen to land on the island, there may be few businessmen who landed on the island before this, you don't steal chickens and don't make a handful ......of rice, be careful to make a boat for ten thousand years, don't capsize in the gutter, before we figure out the reality of this island, we don't act rashly."

After being reminded by Lu Mingyi, the three of them knew very well in their hearts that how could an island with a fast catch exist without an army?

These are human spirits, and they are not fascinated by the wealth of the island, and they can become the stewards of this maritime trading fleet, and their knowledge is also unusual, but they are a little moved by the wealth of the island.

"By the way, that Ibn asked us to go to this island to buy crystal tablets, could this island be his overseas stronghold?"

"I've heard that this Ibn doesn't seem to be a Tang person, if you say that, then the difference here makes sense?"

"In this way, Ibn is probably the man behind this island, and for some reason we don't know, he doesn't want to be known about the ......relationship between this island and him."

Gu Liang thought for a moment and said: "Iben has not heard that he is from a wealthy family, and this person has always been low-key and has no reputation, and it has only been the past two years that I have heard that there is such a person, could it be that the wealthy family is secretly directing this person?" ”

"It's also possible!"

Zhen Shi has only appeared in the Jiangnan area for two or three years, and Lu Ming has also sent someone to check Zhen Shi's background, but since Zhen Shi doesn't want to be known, it is naturally not easy to check.

Lu Ming also didn't believe that Zhen Shi fell from the sky and grew on the ground, people want to leave names, trees need to take pictures, everyone has a background to check, the more mysterious Zhen Shi is, the more Lu Ming doesn't dare to take it lightly.

"Let's leave this alone for the time being, since we have already negotiated the matter of the crystal piece with Manager He, then we will wait until we go to Nagasaki Town and come back!"

Lu Ming made up his mind that he must find out the matter of the Wufeng Islands, such a place is too important for the maritime trade of the four major warrior clans in the southeast in the future, and even if he can control the trade of the entire crystal piece, it can be said to be a great help for the Lu clan.

Lu Ming is not the only one who has such thoughts, the other three are also muttering in their hearts, although the scale of trade in the south is not small, but no one will be afraid of money, the reason why they did not regard the Japanese country as the focus of trade in the past is not that the southeast Shi clan does not want to, but that they are unwilling to make the relationship with the northern Shi clan because of these businesses.

Now it seems that the original decision was a bit of a mistake, but fortunately it was not too late, after all, the south had more advantages than the north in navigation, and even the goods that were traded with the Japanese in the past were mostly from Jiangnan and other places, and in terms of competition, the southern scholars had more human, economic and technological advantages than the northern scholars.

Many people will subconsciously think that the wisdom of the ancients is not as good as that of later generations, but in fact, for thousands of years, wisdom has never changed, what has changed is people's vision and experience.

The ancients implemented elite education, which is completely different from the national education of later generations, it can be said that the ancients began to learn the moment in the struggle, because of the limited resources, it is necessary to keep fighting, starting from the private school, until the peak of the court, that one is not the dragon among the people, the elite of the elite, and the people who are a little more stupid have long been squeezed off the single-plank bridge.

After seeing the Wufeng Islands, the four of them had different calculations in their hearts, but their thinking was solidified because of the problem of knowledge before, and at this time, the appearance of the Wufeng Islands inadvertently opened another door for them, and things could still be done ......?

The four of them did have the intention of robbing the wealth of the Wufeng Islands, but they were not impulsive people, and after weighing the pros and cons, they found that it was better not to startle the snake.

Soon, the four people, led by Lu Ming, agreed to go to Nagasaki Town first to see if Zhen Qian could set up a leased area in Nagasaki Town, the Japanese Kingdom, whether he could also build a leased area, or another leased area in Silla State, and even several leased areas in the South China Sea countries, so that he could not only extend the family's business overseas, but also use the influence of his family to indirectly communicate privately with other countries.

This thought came to my mind, and I never got rid of it.

The fleets of the four major scholars in the southeast stayed on the southern main island of the Goho Islands for two days, and on the third day set sail for the town of Nagasaki in the Wa Kingdom.

"Zhen Lang, are we jealous of the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?"

Wang Tianxing was very depressed, he took the warship and soldiers and horses to ambush on the South Second Island opposite the South Main Island, and as a result, the four major scholars in the southeast played around the South Main Island, ate and drank happily for two days and left, without the slightest sign of robbery, which made Wang Tianxing begin to doubt Zhen Qian's judgment.

"You kid thinks too simple about the four major warrior clans in the southeast, if they are a group of little white rabbits, there will be no hungry wolves in this world!"
