Chapter 543: A Distinguished Guest's Visit
A few days later, Chicken Coop Harbor. Nature's Sounds
"Sir, I heard from the people at the dock just now that there seems to be a distinguished guest from Fuzhou, and even Shi Hu went to greet him in person, but I don't know the identity of the other party."
When Li Hongyu was chatting with Youlan about some interesting things in Jiangnan in the public house of the private school, Zhang Cheng hurriedly came to report, "Now the eldest prince has sent someone to find out the identity of the person who came." ”
"Someone from Fuzhou is here!" Li Hongyu's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, the people who could let Shi Hu come to the dock to greet him must be a lot of people, considering that the other party was from Fuzhou, he couldn't help but think of Zhang Shenghui.
According to the reports of the three young people who went to Fuzhou City to sell the "Tiger Roaring Mountain Forest Map", the person who bought the painting was Zhang Shenghui, the chief shopkeeper of Honghai Firm's Fujian General Account.
This made Li Hongyu secretly relieved, Zhang Shenghui must have known from the three young men who sold the paintings that he was in Jilong Harbor, so he would definitely find a way to come and check it out.
The reason is very simple, there are very few people in Fuzhou who know Li Hongyu, and because Li Hongyu is an extremely secret thing in Jilong Port, Zhang Shenghui can't send someone here, otherwise the news will be leaked, so he can only come over to check in person.
"Shi Hu's path is quite wide!"
Li Hongyu pretended to mutter, and then said to Zhang Cheng, "Come and report as soon as there is news." ”
"Sir, don't worry, there is no secret in this chicken coop harbor at all."
Zhang Cheng smiled and bowed to Li Hongyu, turned around and left quickly, the various forces in Jilong Harbor are mixed, and the news between them is very well-informed, so the information of the people from Fuzhou this time should spread soon.
"Sir, why do you think those people came?" After Zhang Cheng left, Youlan groaned for a while, and asked Li Hongyu with a slight frown.
In view of the fact that the various forces in Jilong Harbor have a relationship of one thing and one another, Youlan naturally does not want to see Shi Hu's power become stronger.
"I should have come to talk to Shi Hu about business." Li Hongyu knew Youlan's thoughts, so he smiled and comforted, "I'm afraid he not only has to talk to Shi Hu, but also has to visit Liu Da's family and Onizuka Musashi." ”
"It's strange, now that the imperial court is not going to open overseas trade, why are there still people coming?"
Youlan's eyes showed a puzzled look, and she couldn't understand what the other party thought, at that time, the imperial court would naturally send a sailor to escort her, and there was no need to come to find the pirates and armed maritime merchants in Jilong Harbor at all.
"Maybe for the sake of safety, worship all the gods first, and be more down-to-earth at sea in the future." Li Hongyu definitely wouldn't tell Youlan the truth, so he casually found a reason to explain with a smile.
"By the way, have you ever seen Onizuka Musashi?" Saying that, Li Hongyu Yufeng changed the topic, not wanting Youlan to be too concerned about Zhang Shenghui's coming.
"Nope."
Youlan's attention was really attracted by Li Hongyu's words, and after hearing this, she shook her head and said, "Onitsuka Musashi's whereabouts are very mysterious, and Uncle Liu and Shi Hu only saw him a few years ago, and he never showed up again. ”
"Strange thing, why hasn't he shown up all these years?"
Li Hongyu's brows furrowed slightly, he had already inquired, it had been several years since the last time Onitsuka Musashi appeared, not to mention that no one outside had seen him, even his subordinates, and it was usually Onitsuka Musashi's attendants who came forward to speak.
"Sir, perhaps for fear of being assassinated, Onizuka Musashi's whereabouts have always been very mysterious."
Youlan saw that Li Hongyu seemed to be interested in the matter of Onizuka Musashi, so she spoke, "However, because he has not appeared in the past few years, there have been rumors about him in the market, saying that he is dead, and the current Onizuka Musashi is just a stand-in, the purpose is to stabilize the people below." ”
"I don't know if the people of Fuzhou will be able to meet Onizuka Musashi this time."
Li Hongyu frowned slightly when he heard this, this is very possible, and then said to Youlan with a smile, "I heard that these Japanese people have a strict internal hierarchy, if Onizuka Musashi is really dead, I don't know if they will fight or elect a new leader." ”
"According to the rules of their widows, if the lord dies, the lord's children will inherit the throne, and unless someone has a different heart, they will take the opportunity to seize the throne."
Youlan still knows a lot about the affairs of the Japanese people, and when she heard this, she said to Li Hongyu, "Onizuka Musashi has a daughter who once took her hand and came to Chicken Coop Port a few years ago, and she is a very cute little girl, but she never appeared again. ”
"When the imperial court opens overseas trade, Onitsuka Musashi will appear no matter what."
Li Hongyu also felt that Onitsuka Musashi might have had an accident, otherwise he wouldn't have shown up for a few years, so he said with a deep groan.
Once the overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty opened, the pirates and armed maritime merchants of Xiaoliuqiu would definitely have to discuss countermeasures, which was a big deal, and Onizuka Musashi had no reason to refuse to participate.
"Actually, I heard Uncle Liu say that this Onitsuka Musashi is quite righteous, and he will do everything he promises, and he is also very disciplined, so everyone has been able to get along well all these years."
Yulan frowned slightly when she heard this, and then said with some concern, "If something really happens to Onizuka Musashi, then it won't be a good thing for Chicken Coop Port. ”
"The soldiers will come to block, the water will come to cover the earth, and there will always be a solution when the time comes."
Li Hongyu smiled and comforted Youlan, Youlan probably didn't know that her worries were superfluous, and within two years he would bring Xiaoliuqiu back under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, so he wouldn't have to worry about breaking out conflicts between factions again.
Youlan knew that Li Hongyu was comforting her, so she smiled at Li Hongyu, but a worried look flashed in her eyes, after all, she didn't know that the private school gentleman in front of her would be a Ming assistant minister who was in charge of overseas trade matters.
Li Hongyu guessed correctly, after meeting Shi Hu, the people from Fuzhou went to visit Liu Dahai and Onizuka Musashi, and the conversation was really a business matter, hoping to do business at sea with Shi Hu, Liu Dahai and Onizuka Musashi, and he had a way to transport those smuggled goods to Fuzhou.
In this way, Li Hongyu learned the information of the visitor, and according to the visitor, he reported his home to Liu Dahai, saying that he was a businessman in the north, surnamed Wang, and known as Boss Wang.
Although Liu Dahai and the others knew that this Boss Wang might have used a pseudonym, after all, dealing with pirates and armed maritime merchants was a very dangerous thing, and once the government knew about it, it would be a bad thing, so no one cared about Boss Wang's true identity.
Perhaps in order to show his strength, or to express his goodwill, Boss Wang came to bring a lot of gifts from Onizuka to Shi Hu, Liu Dahai and Onizuka Musashi this time, which made the relationship between the two sides very harmonious and close.
Li Hongyu is not in a hurry to verify whether this Boss Wang is Zhang Shenghui, if it is Zhang Shenghui, he will definitely find a way to meet him, so he waits in the private school with peace of mind, Zhang Shenghui must have known from the third posterior who sold the painting that the painting was painted by Mr. Private School.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Li Hongyu to teach the children in the private school when a group of people walked into the private school surrounded by bangs and a well-dressed middle-aged man.
"Mr. Zhao, excuse me, this is our guest Boss Wang from Jilong Port, I want to see the private school and donate some money to the children in the private school, so that the children can be better educated."
Liu Haiwolf called Li Hongyu out of the classroom, introduced the well-dressed middle-aged man to him with a smile, and explained the reason for coming to the private school.
The brightly dressed middle-aged man was Zhang Shenghui, and his eyes flashed with disbelief after seeing Li Hongyu, although he had already been mentally prepared, but now he still couldn't suppress the shock in his heart, and he never imagined that Li Hongyu really came to Jilonggang.
"Boss Wang does good deeds and accumulates virtues, and he will be blessed in the future." Li Hongyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he saw Zhang Shenghui, and bowed to him quietly.
"Mr. Zhao's words are serious, it's just a gesture, don't worry about it." Zhang Shenghui suddenly came back to his senses when he heard this, stabilized his excited mood and said with a smile.
Liu Haiwolf and the others naturally didn't know about the psychological changes of Li Hongyu and Zhang Shenghui just now, so they hugged Zhang Shenghui and walked around in the private school, laughing happily from time to time.
Since Zhang Shenghui came to the private school this time, he would definitely not be empty-handed, and brought a lot of pastries to the children of the private school, and donated 1,000 taels of silver.
The so-called exchange of courtesies, in order to express his gratitude to Zhang Shenghui, Li Hongyu naturally wanted to express it, so he personally cooked in the private school and cooked a home-cooked meal to entertain Zhang Shenghui.
If it were someone else, Zhang Shenghui would definitely disdain this home-cooked food, but Li Hongyu is different, not only the owner of Honghai Firm, but also the assistant minister of Daming, it is a great honor to be able to eat the home-cooked food he makes.
Since it is a family banquet, it is naturally not appropriate to accompany many people, so only Liu Haiwolf is the eldest son of Liu Dahai, and he can completely represent Liu Dahai.
Originally, Liu Dahai was supposed to accompany Boss Wang to the private school, but Zhang Shenghui politely refused, thinking that it was just a trivial matter.
Because there are several private schools in Jilong Port, Zhang Shenghui didn't know which one Li Hongyu was in, so he came over one by one under the guise of "donating to school", and finally met Li Hongyu, which was a worthwhile trip.
Li Hongyu's cooking skills were originally good, and he called Chen Niu, who taught his apprentice's cooking skills, to help with the cooking, so a table of hearty home-cooked dishes was quickly prepared.
Because it was a family banquet, and Zhang Shenghui donated a lot of money to the private school, Youlan and Liu Bihua came to serve and pour tea and wine for everyone.
In order to make the atmosphere warm, and at the same time, in order to get closer to the relationship with Chen Ada, Li Hongyu specially called Chen Ah to accompany him.
Everyone sat around the wine table and staggered, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was quite warm and harmonious.
As soon as the outstanding Youlan appeared, it attracted Zhang Shenghui's attention, making his eyes light up and a feeling of being amazed.
Soon, Zhang Shenghui, who secretly paid attention to Youlan's words and deeds, realized that the relationship between Youlan and Li Hongyu was extraordinary, and it seemed to be very intimate, which made him feel a pang in his heart, and quickly took his eyes back from Youlan's body, and immediately took out a look of not seeing and not listening to incivility, how could he dare to be disrespectful to Li Hongyu's woman?
