Chapter 516: Reasonable Identity

In order to make Li Hongyu stay in Xiaoliuqiu with peace of mind, Yang Lan personally came forward to Zhang Luo's private school, because the original private school was broken and small and looked extremely shabby, so she deliberately bought a courtyard house on the same street as the house where she lived, and used it as a new private school after renovating it.

Because of the arrival of Li Hongyu, the old teacher who was nearly seventy years old in the private school was finally able to retire, go home to tease his grandson, and live for the rest of his life.

According to Li Hongyu's suggestion, Yang Lan asked people to post notices in the town and surrounding shantytowns to recruit students, free tuition, including room and board, and students far away from the private school can live on campus, the conditions are very superior.

As soon as this incident came out, it immediately set off a lot of waves in the town, and the "private school" naturally needs to pay tuition, or it is funded by the family and other power groups, otherwise how can the sage's learning be taught in vain? And the fact that there is no tuition and room and board is simply unheard of!

Perhaps because the conditions are too generous, all kinds of rumors that are unfavorable to Li Hongyu and the private school soon appeared on the market, thinking that nothing to do is not to commit adultery or theft, Li Hongyu's move must have other plans, which makes people full of distrust and vigilance in the private school.

However, compared to the wealthy families in the town, the people living in the shantytowns have less to worry about, and they often do not have enough to eat, and instead of letting their children go hungry with them, they should be sent to a private school, at least with a full meal.

Since it was already the end of the year, Li Hongyu set the start of school after the year, which also freed up time for the private school to decorate, and there were many things to prepare.

Xiaoliuqiu Island has a warm climate, so Li Hongyu does not feel the cold of winter at all, and there is only one light snow before the Chinese New Year's Eve, and if it is in the 6th year, it will definitely be snowing heavily.

Li Hongyu knows very well that with the geographical location of Xiaoliuqiu, there will be no snow in winter, but because the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties are the famous Xiaoice period in history, it is cold around the world, so Xiaoliuqiu also began to snow.

Although it is separated from the Inner 6 by the Yingzhou Strait, the New Year's flavor in the chicken coop town is getting stronger and stronger as the New Year is approaching, and the Spring Festival is the most important festival in life for those who move here from the Inner 6.

During this time, Li Hongyu was accompanied by Liu Haiwolf and Youlan to walk around the town and the surrounding area, and he also had an understanding of the surrounding situation.

Since Xiaoliuqiu is now in a state of unopened, many parts of the island are in a state of primeval forest, and many native tribes live.

When the outsiders moved to Xiaoliuqiu, they were bound to have an armed conflict with the local tribes, but because the local tribes were weak and scattered, they could not compete with them, so after some fighting, the two sides coexisted peacefully.

After all, the maritime merchants and pirates who came to Xiaoliuqiu were not interested in the things on the island, but only used it as a transit point, otherwise no one would have come to this deserted place.

With the Spring Festival approaching, Li Hongyu is also busy, there is an important thing waiting for him to do, that is, to write Spring Festival couplets, in order to welcome the arrival of the new year, every household has to post Spring Festival couplets to celebrate during the New Year.

Because there are not many literate people in ancient times, there are very few people who can write a good hand, so every year Jilong Hong Kong is a few old gentlemen who are considered to be knowledgeable to write Spring Festival couplets for everyone, because of the festive atmosphere of the New Year, the Spring Festival couplets are free, and it is also a benefit for everyone.

Now, the arrival of Li Hongyu has changed this pattern, snatching a lot of "business" from those old gentlemen, Li Hongyu is naturally born in a beautiful hand.

What is particularly important is that every year there is an endless stream of people who go to those old gentlemen to ask for words, and they form a long queue, so everyone heard that Liu Dahai invited a new teacher from the inner 6, in order to save time and also to join in the fun, so they all came to Li Hongyu.

Li Hongyu did not refuse to come, and quickly wrote the couplets needed by the people who asked for words, and also gave some festive red blessing characters, which were well received by everyone.

Originally, those old gentlemen looked down on Li Hongyu, a junior student, and thought that his reputation in Jilong Town was blown by Liu Dahai.

However, when those old gentlemen saw the couplet written by Li Hongyu, they all changed their previous attitudes, and they were ashamed of themselves just from the strength of their pen.

The so-called words are like their people, after seeing Li Hongyu's words, those old gentlemen knew that they had met a rising star, and their decades of pen power were simply vulnerable in front of Li Hongyu, so they no longer dared to hold up in front of Li Hongyu, so as not to be unsafe and humiliated by then.

Under the cover of Liu Haiwolf and Youlan, Li Hongyu successfully figured out the situation in Jilong Town, there are five major forces in Jilong Town, and Liu Dahai is the most powerful one among them.

Among the five major forces, there are not only people from the Ming Dynasty, but also two from foreign countries, one of which is from the Wa State, composed of authentic Wa people, responsible for the maritime smuggling of the Wa State, and the other force from Nanyang, specializing in the business from Xiaoryukyu to Nanyang, and transiting goods after arriving at Jilong Port.

In order to avoid being swallowed up by the newly rising powers, the five major forces came together on the premise of safeguarding their respective interests, forming a similar alliance to crack down on those newly emerging maritime merchants and pirates, and to maintain the order of maritime smuggling.

In addition to these five major forces, there are many small and medium-sized forces on Xiaoliuqiu Island that are dependent on the five major forces.

Under the deterrence of the five major forces, these small and medium-sized forces are also at peace with each other, although it is common to fight and even kill a few people, but this is a normal situation in Xiaoliuqiu, and there is no big factional conflict.

In addition to the Chicken Coop Harbor, there are several ports on Xiaoliuqiu Island that are occupied by maritime merchants and pirates, among which the Chicken Coop Port is the largest port and the main distribution center for goods, and the five major forces have industries in the Chicken Coop Port.

However, the Chicken Coop Harbor is mainly in the hands of three of the five major forces, one is Liu Dahai, one is the Japanese Onitsuka Musashi, and the other is Shi Hu, and the three are in the hands of the three in the Chicken Coop Harbor, ensuring a delicate balance of power.

It is worth mentioning that after Li Hongyu and Youlan arrived at Jilong Port, it was Shi Hu's subordinates who threw people down from the upper floor, so naturally no one dared to care about this kind of thing.

Li Hongyu soon appeared an interesting thing after staying in Jilong Harbor for a few days, although there were many people dressed as Japanese people in Jilong Harbor, but most of them were people from the Ming Dynasty, because they were worried that their identities would be revealed and their families would be implicated, so they showed people in Japanese costumes.

This is also the reason why the Ming coastal pirates have been repeatedly banned, because of the ban on the sea, the people who are living in difficulty have changed their clothes in order to live, and used pseudonyms to join the ranks of the pirates.

Li Hongyu knew that Liu Dahai and Yang Lan's names must also be fake, except for Youlan who told him her real name, the rest of the people definitely used fake names to the outside world, you must know that this involves the safety of their relatives in their hometown.

Take Yang Lan as an example, she was originally a young lady from a large family in Fuzhou, if her true identity is known, then her parents, brothers and others will suffer, and the Ming Dynasty's policy of cracking down on pirates has not changed.

Li Hongyu was not at all interested in finding out the details of Liu Dahai and Yang Lan and others, he was more concerned about collecting intelligence on various forces on Xiaoliuqiu Island, and with his current status, he had easier access to high-level intelligence information than those spies sent to Xiaoliuqiu.

Naturally, there are spies sent by Li Hongyu on Xiaoliuqiu, who are responsible for collecting intelligence on all forces in Xiaoliuqiu, and if he wants to open overseas trade smoothly, Xiaoliuqiu must be taken.

Therefore, when Li Hongyu went down to Yangzhou last year to bid for the overseas trade franchise, he had already arranged for spies to infiltrate those forces in Xiaoliuqiu, as the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing the other side can survive a hundred battles, so he must know their details when dealing with those maritime smuggling groups and pirates in Xiaoliuqiu.

It's just that even Li Hongyu didn't expect that he would come to Xiaoliuqiu in person by mistake, which undoubtedly made the matter of collecting intelligence much easier.

And if Li Hongyu wants to operate in Xiaoliuqiu without being suspected by outsiders, he must first have a suitable identity, and Mr. Private School is just an excellent choice for his identity, so that he can swagger around the streets.

Of course, Li Hongyu's move was not only to cover his identity, but also to get closer to the people on the island in order to gain their trust, which would be of great benefit to attacking Xiaoliuqiu Island in the future.

On the twenty-eighth day of the Lunar New Year, in the afternoon.

"Sir, you've been busy all day, drink saliva."

When the last shabby-dressed word seeker left happily with the Spring Festival couplets and the word "Fu" written by Li Hongyu, Youlan smiled and handed Li Hongyu a cup of hot tea.

Today, Li Hongyu doesn't have to write Spring Festival couplets anymore, and now every household in Jilong Port has prepared New Year's goods including Spring Festival couplets, and people have worked hard for a year just to reunite the family during the Spring Festival, and they are happy.

"This year's Spring Festival is the most fulfilling year for me, and the thought of being able to bring some joy to those Spring Festival couplets makes me feel a lot more comfortable." Li Hongyu was indeed a little thirsty, drank the tea in one go, and handed the teacup to Youlan with a smile.

He has a feeling that since he entered Beijing, he has a headache every time he celebrates the New Year, and he has to go to meet those high-ranking officials and magnates in the capital, and he also has to accept the visits of those officials who are not as good as him, and the endless human relations make him feel bored but have to cheer up to deal with it.

Now, Li Hongyu has left the capital, and he is not even in the Customs Department, so this year is extremely relaxed and comfortable, and he does what he wants to do.

"Sir, I'm really sorry to have separated you from Miss Lian'er." Where did Youlan know what was going on in Li Hongyu's mind, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but turn pale, and said apologetically, she thought of Yang Li'er, who was inseparable from Li Hongyu.

The intimate relationship between Yang Li'er and Li Hongyu Youlan is clear, she didn't feel anything at first, Li Hongyu and Yang Li'er can be described as a talented and beautiful woman, a match made in heaven.

But with the continuous contact with Li Hongyu, especially after Li Hongyu was kidnapped by Liu Haiying, Youlan began to care about Yang Li'er for some reason, which made her have a lot of troubles out of thin air.
