Part 4 Maritime Silk Road 52, taking advantage of the fire to rob

Shen Qi once calculated an account for everyone, if the route of Nanjing, Yuegang, Manila and Acapulco is used to open up a new Silk Road, it may take up to four years to go back and forth, of which the necessary turnover will be as high as three million taels, plus the cost of building a large treasure ship for ocean exploration and other labor, at least two million taels of silver. Top Novel, x.

Even if you add up the family background of Shen Qi and Elder Yuekong, it is still less than two million, and this does not include the cost of building a silk weaving mill in Acapulco, opening a school, promoting the civilization of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in China, organizing expeditions, and opening up the northern continent of New Spain, etc., without considering the huge risks faced by crossing the ocean.

Therefore, if it weren't for the money in Lin Feng's hands, this grand plan would have been greatly discounted.

Zhu Hui originally wanted to force Lin Feng to hand over this huge wealth in his hands in the Ryukyus, but judging from Hong Zhenren's letters, it seems that he was all taken away by him, since this is the case, he is ready to return to Yuegang with Lin Feng's family, and everyone will find a way together.

Before leaving, Lin Feng's condition suddenly worsened, and in order to avoid any accidents, he had to let Xu Ling'er and Han Xiaoyu take Luo Amin's mother and daughter and Tang Jing to go first, but Han Xiaoyu couldn't rest assured of Zhu Hui and insisted on staying.

Tang Jing also read Hong Zhenren's letter, combined with the content of the conversation that Lin Feng vomited blood that night, he judged that things were by no means so simple, maybe on the desert island off the coast of Hizen, there was still a property of Lin Feng, and suggested that Zhu Hui go to Pingdo to meet Chen Xuewen first, and after he went back, he took Xuande Zhenren and Shen Qi to Pinghu as well, maybe Jingming, Shen Mao and the hornet's nest really found the treasure and it is not known.

Knowing that her sister was leaving with her daughter, Ah Ping didn't want to stay alone in Ryukyu to do business, so she calculated carefully, if she sold this shochu shop, she would at least get nearly 700,000 taels of cash, even if it was divided equally with the lady in the palace, it could also help the ocean exploration plan.

Hearing that the Luo sisters wanted to sell the liquor shop, Lin Feng said that it was their father Luo Wenlong's idea to open this soju shop in the first place, and the money used came from the Xu Hai couple's legacy, no matter what it developed later, it could not be regarded as the Lin family's industry, so he did not object at all.

The Ryukyu Kingdom was engaged in entrepot trade with Nanyang, Japan, Korea, and the Ming Dynasty, and the wealthy merchants were mainly concentrated in Naha Port, Naha Port, and Anseo Port in Naha Port, which were controlled by the Naha clan, Shurishi clan, Boshi clan, and Kumi clan respectively.

After the news came out, there was an endless stream of people who came to negotiate the purchase of this winery, and the price given was similar, which was not much different from Ah Ping's estimate, and in the end, they chose a merchant from the Naha clan with a transaction price of 600,000 taels of silver.

Just as he was about to make a deal, Ma Liangbi suddenly appeared, and as soon as he entered the door, he turned a blind eye to Xu Ling'er and Luo Amin, and went straight to Luo Aping, and asked happily: "Second Miss Luo, can't you do business?" How much money did you sell? ”

"It turned out that Ma Xiangguo arrived, disrespectful, disrespectful!" Luo Aping replied.

Ma Liangbi nodded to Ah Ping, came to the buyer with a big grin, and continued to ask: "Running a winery is very different from running your Naba port, do you know why this winery used to be so prosperous, but now it is so busy?" ”

Without waiting for the buyer to answer, Luo Aping said with a red face: "After the death of my father-in-law, the business is indeed not as good as before, and it is all because the slave family does not know how to do business, so I want to find an expert to operate." ”

Ma Liangbi laughed loudly when he heard this, and replied in a disdainful tone: "The second lady is really good at clever words, but she can't hide it from the old man, in the past, this wine shop was covered by the dead eunuch in the palace, from the king of the Ryukyus, down to all kinds of merchants, everyone left some affection, so, the business at that time seemed to be booming, in fact, it had already failed, the year before last, the damn eunuch also died, and it is not surprising that your business plummeted, hehe, no matter who will run it in the future, if you can still make a penny, I write this horse word upside down!" ”

The buyer saw that the uncle of the former prime minister and king of Shang Yong was not good, so he hurriedly got up and bowed his hands, and said politely: "Contemptible people meet the lord of Xiangguo......

Ma Liangbi interrupted the merchant of the Naha clan and said solemnly: "Our two families are neighbors in Naha Port, it's not a day or two, the old man can't watch you jump into the fire pit, if you have to buy it, I can't stop you, if you still want to deal with our Ma family in the future, let me go out now!" ”

This merchant of the Naha clan didn't dare to offend Ma Liangbi of the Shuli clan easily, so he gave him a deep salute, and left in a hurry without saying hello to Luo Aping and the others.

Xu Ling'er said angrily: "Ma Liangbi, I didn't expect you to be so arrogant so far, don't forget, this wine shop also has a share of the concubine." ”

Ma Liangbi still looked confident, and asked with a smile: "Hehe, the old man just wants to ask, you have disposed of this wine shop without authorization, have you ever asked Niang Niang Chitose?" ”

"Please calm your anger, according to my father-in-law's will, the slave family has already written the paperwork, and after this brewery is sold, it will be divided equally with Niangniang Chitose......"

Before Luo Aping finished speaking, she saw Ma Liangbi wave her hand and replied loudly: "Niang Niang Chitose is not short of this bit of silver!" ”

"Master Xiangguo, please take a seat, we have something to say." Luo Amin stepped forward and said a blessing and invited him to sit on the Taishi's chair.

"No need, the old man is not a Xiangguo master now, and he has nothing to say to you, so I have to go, I will give you a word first, and the old man of the wine shop will buy it, and the maximum bid is 100,000 taels of silver, and it has to be paid in three years!" With that, Ma Liangbi turned around and left.

Xu Ling'er knew that Ma Liangbi had coveted this wine shop for not a day or two, if Guo Yi was present, with the goddaughter of the old prince of Chengguo, the godsister of the concubine Niangniang, and the imperial court brocade guard Zuo Qianhu, she might be able to suppress him, so she gave Zhu Hui and Han Xiaoyu a look, and the two immediately stopped Ma Liangbi.

"Ma Liangbi, don't forget, I am also the godsister of Concubine Niangniang, now, come with me to the palace and ask Niangniang Chitose to preside over justice, how about it?" Xu Ling'er asked.

"Hehe, you still play this game with the old man?" Ma Liangbi didn't want to have any direct conflict with Xu Ling'er, turned around and came to the Luo sisters, and asked with a gloomy face: "Do you know what the old man regrets the most in his life?" ”

The two sisters shook their heads in a panic.

"Let me tell you, what I regret the most is that I was angry with the long history Zheng Zhen in the Tongdu Temple of North Korea, and let go of Lin Feng, a criminal of the imperial court and a pirate leader." Ma Liangbi said, staring at the two sisters with a smile, and asked in a low voice: "I heard that he is back, he should be in this mansion, do we want to go to the palace to talk?" ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, it could be seen that he came prepared, he knew that this was the case, it was better not to sell this winery, it was too late to regret it, and now he had to sell it if he didn't want to sell it anymore, even if Lin Feng didn't want to leave, he had to go first.

Luo Aping didn't want to embarrass her sister, so she said tremblingly: "Master Xiangguo, it's all up to you." ”

Ma Liangbi laughed out loud again, didn't even say a word, and walked out of the living room of the wine shop without looking back.

Just when they were at a loss, Ma Liangbi left the Lin family wine shop with two servants, and the three of them rode out of the village talking and laughing.

Suddenly, three cold arrows flew and hit their mounts, and the two horses on which the servant sat jumped up in the air, throwing them out ten feet away, and Ma Liangbi's mount lay directly on the ground, and just as he had just fallen to the ground, a man in black suddenly came out and put a steel knife on his neck.

Ma Liangbi was almost stupid, and asked tremblingly: "Uncle, you, are you, the legendary hero Lord Lin Feng?" ”

"Don't give me nonsense, aren't you the pirate leader Lin Feng threatening his family? Hehe, I'll take you to see Lin Feng. The man in black replied.

Ma Liangbi thought that after Ma Wu changed careers, the group training in the village had dispersed, but he didn't expect that there was an accident, so he shouted to the two servants who had just gotten up from the ground: "You guys go home first, report to the family that they are safe, I, I'm fine." ”

The steel knife is already on the neck, how can it be okay? The two servants wanted to leave but didn't dare to go, and they couldn't save people, so they reluctantly followed the man in black towards the bank of the Anli River, and watched Ma Liangbi being stuffed into a small fishing boat, and then fled in the wilderness.

"Tang Daguanren, you have been on Yiqi Island for six years, you are not in vain, looking at your archery just now, you can compare to Xiao Li Guanghuarong." Lin Feng raised his thumb and praised.

Tang Jing hurriedly bowed his hand and replied, "In the future, I hope that the owners of Daao will help more." ”

Ma Liangbi looked at it fixedly, and sure enough, Lin Feng, the pirate leader who was released by him from Tongdu Temple in North Korea, had planted a lot of heels in this matter for a moment of vindictiveness, although he hated him so much that he gritted his teeth, but he couldn't compromise, closed his eyes and was quiet for a moment, and greeted: "Shanhaiguan farewell, it's been three years unconsciously, and Lord Lin Daao is unharmed!" ”

"Hehe, you don't give me nonsense, the lord of Macao is seriously ill now." As he spoke, Lin Feng shook his hand and slapped him hard.

Ma Liangbi touched his hot face, looked at this famous pirate leader, and a pirate from Iki Island, knowing that if it fell into their hands, it would definitely not end well, so he pleaded pitifully: "Lord Lin Daao, the villain knows that he is wrong, I will write a letter and ask the family to take 700,000 taels of silver to buy your winery, and after the transaction, spare my life." ”

Lin Feng sneered, gave him another slap with his backhand, and scolded: "Bastard thing, that slap just now was because you interfered with my family's business, and this slap was taken by you for your dog son, as the saying goes, if you don't raise your godfather, let Lao Tzu teach you another lesson for your father." With that, he kicked him over in the cabin.

When Ma Liangbi heard this, how did he get involved with his son Ma Feng? Didn't he follow Xu Kun to Songjiang Mansion? It's been nearly a year since there has been no news, could it be that this kid said something unexpected? No wonder Xu Kun never came to Ryukyu again, and writing to him was also a stone in the sea, thinking of this, I couldn't help but wipe my tears......

The boatman shook the oars and went downstream, Ma Liangbi didn't know where he was going, he was silent for a long time, and begged again: "If the dog has offended the lord of Lin Daao, or if there is any misunderstanding, please Haihan, the lord of Daao, the old man has made amends for you, for the sake of the fate of the two of us in Tongdu Temple in North Korea, please ask the lord of Daao to spare the villain's life." ”

Lin Feng replied calmly: "Tang Daguan, give him pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, first ask him to write a letter to his family, send 700,000 taels of silver to Yuegang, and after Ma Wu signs for it, hand over the winery to their Ma family, and then release him later, this deal is fair, right?" ”

So, Tang Jing took the prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone to Ma Liangbi, at this moment, he couldn't care about so much, lying on the rickety boat, picking up the pen to brush a little bit, one bite into many pages, and presented it to Lin Feng and Tang Jing with both hands.

Finding that Ma Liangbi was quite literate, Tang Jing couldn't help but look at it seriously, but Lin Feng reminded on the side: "Look carefully, don't let him stumble us." ”

After reading it twice in a row, Tang Jing handed the letter to Lin Feng and said, "There should be no problem. ”

"I don't look at it, a rough man." Saying that, Lin Feng smiled slightly, returned the letter to Tang Jing, and suddenly, pointed at his nose and scolded: "Your fucking Luo Di Xiucai is also a straw bag, why did he write so much in a wordy manner?" I think there must be a reason for this. ”

At this time, Tang Jing secretly glanced at Ma Liangbi and found that he was trembling, so he tore up this sprinkling Xiongwen and threw it in his face, and said: "What kind of bullshit article is written, three sentences are written, understand?" ”

Ma Liangbi didn't dare to play tricks, so he hurriedly kowtowed like pounding garlic, and cried and said: "Even if you kill me, the family can't come up with 700,000 taels of silver, simply, you kill me, just pity my son Ma Feng is young and ignorant, and I hope that the two adults will let him live......

Tang Jing couldn't help but secretly admire Lin Feng and raised his thumbs up at him.

Lin Feng was slightly happy, patted Ma Liangbi's face, and said reservedly: "In this case, there is no need to write this letter, come with us to Pingdo City, I want to see how you teach your son, if your Ma family still has a tutor, it is a disciple of Confucius, the lord of Macao will forgive you for what you did, and repay the grace of Tongdu Temple for saving your life, Ma Lao Xiangguo, don't have any doubts, may the Buddha bless, I hope we are safe and secure on this road." ”

After hearing these words, Ma Liangbi was reassured, knowing that the disaster was on his son, and he thought it should be related to treasure hunting, could it be that this little bastard ran from Songjiang Mansion to Japan to hunt for treasure? But he didn't dare to ask more, so he had to resign himself to fate.

Just as the three of them boarded the ship from a pier in Naha Port, the Lin family brewery sank into a state of sorrow......

The deal was not negotiated, and was threatened by Ma Liangbi, a powerful person in the Ryukyu Kingdom, the Luo sisters hugged their heads and cried aggrievedly, Xu Ling'er, Zhu Hui and Han Xiaoyu kept persuading each other on the side, at this time, someone came to report that Tang Daguan, who had just been eavesdropping outside, arrested Ma Liangbi outside the village, and waited for them to chase them out to find it, where is there still a trace of Tang Jing and Ma Liangbi?

So, they hurriedly returned to the Lin Mansion, and the servants at home said that the big boss and the Tang officials had gone out together, and they had not come back yet, and the Luo sisters knew that they had caused a catastrophe, and they cried like tears.

Xu Ling'er wanted to enter the palace to find the concubine surnamed Xu and ask her to help solve it, but Zhu Hui persuaded him, he suddenly remembered that Tang Jing had told him that it was impossible for Lin Feng to give all those treasures to Hong Zhenren, and there should be a lot of treasures hidden in places such as Feiqian and Satsuma, since Tang Jing and Lin Feng hijacked Ma Liangbi together, thinking of the situation that the boy hornet's nest was searching for treasures in Japan, I believe that they must have gone to Hirado.

Judging from Tang Jing's situation, it is unlikely that he will obey Lin Feng's dispatch, this should be the action planned by Tang Jing, Zhu Hui believes that Tang Jing may leave a few words, so he asked Xu Ling'er and Han Xiaoyu to accompany the Luo sisters, he ran to the guest room where Tang Jing lived and began to rummage, looking for a long time but found nothing.
