Part 4 Maritime Silk Road 14, words do not speculate

Sure enough, as Zhu Hui expected, the Hailong Wharf was controlled by the officers and soldiers, and the Western soldiers guarding the galleon were frightened and fired at the sky, and there was no real conflict, and when Zhai Yin and the others arrived, the crisis had been resolved, so they hurried to the Jinyi Guard to pick up people. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

That night, Shen Qi and others were taken to the Yamen of Haicheng County, and Zhai Yin placed them all in the post house to rest.

Shen Qi was extremely frustrated, the business was not done, and the goods that lost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were not to mention, everyone was all affected, and they couldn't help but cry, and they were extremely sad. After settling down, Zhai Yin came to visit them, Shen Qi knelt down in front of Zhai Zhixian, expressed his gratitude, asked about the whereabouts of Zhu Hui and Xuande Zhenren, and implored Master Zhai to try to ensure the safety of Western merchants and Manila galleons.

Zhai Yin comforted everyone and told them not to worry, now that Zhu Hui is very safe, Xuande Zhenren has gone to the governor to complain, please wait quietly.

Shen Qi believed in Pang Shangpeng's personality, and did not say more and ask more, Zhai Yin was quite interested in their experience in Nanjing, so Song He talked eloquently, telling in detail about the origin of Xingji Qianzhuang, the fighting method between Hai Daren and Huang Bingwen, and the changes of the Tang family, when he talked about Zhang Gou'er burning Cuihualou, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, and Song He hurriedly stopped.

Zhai Yin immediately stood up and asked vigilantly, "Who?" ”

"Lord Qiqi Zhai, the Elder of the Moon Sky of Shaolin Temple is visiting."

shouted "Master", Wanxi got up and ran out, Zhai Yin didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly straightened his clothes, and led everyone to greet him.

Everyone knelt down in front of Elder Yuekong, only to hear Zhai Yin preach: "Engong Living Buddha is above, please accept the late birth Zhai Mou." ”

"Lord Zhixian, this is going to kill the old man." As he spoke, Elder Moon Sky hurriedly supported Zhai Yin, waved his hand to everyone, and motioned for them to hurry up.

With the help of the faint light at the entrance of the yamen, the Elder of the Moon Sky looked at this Haicheng Zhixian and said with great emotion: "For the favor of the county magistrate, the old man is grateful!" ”

shouted "Master", the tearful Zhai Yin stared at the Elder of the Moon Sky, his voice whimpered, and then said: "Master still remember, when the Japanese invaded Zhai Cuo Village at night, there was a young man who was chased and killed by the Japanese and almost died tragically under the butcher's knife, at the critical moment, the Shaolin monks descended from the sky, beheaded those damned Japanese Kou, and took the dying young man to the Qi family military camp, and the young man was able to save his life......"

Elder Moon Sky stepped forward to hold his hands and asked excitedly, "Are you Zhai Yin?" ”

Zhai Yin pointed to the scar on his head, his nose was sore, tears fell, he leaned his head on the hand of the Elder of the Moon Sky, and replied in a trembling voice: "Exactly, Zhai Yin was young and ignorant at that time, and he didn't have time to say thank you to the elder, so you went to the front line battlefield in Quanzhou, and after that, I heard that you have been going to Zhejiang with the Qi family's army, and I have been inquiring about your news over the years, and I just want to say thank you in this life......

Speaking of this, Zhai Yin was already silent, and returned to the post house with Elder Yuekong, hurriedly arranged a meal for the elder, and sent people out to find Zhu Hui.

Through the evaluation of Zhu Hui by the Elder of the Moon Sky and the verification of the past told by Song He, Zhai Yin knew that Zhu Hui was not a fugitive, and when Pang Shangpeng arrived in Moon Port, he would definitely be able to provide him with shelter.

Seeing that at midnight, there was no news of Zhu Hui, and everyone was very anxious, just when they persuaded the elders to rest first, suddenly there were bursts of gunfire from the banks of the Jiulong River, and Zhai Yin knew that there was another accident on the dock.

Zhai Yin couldn't ignore it, so he personally ran to the outside of the yamen to beat the drum and ascend to the hall, urgently found a dozen or so messengers, and took Song He, Wanxi and others to the scene of the accident.

At this time, he found that Elder Moon Sky also followed, and Zhai Yin hurriedly persuaded: "Master, the ruffians on the dock are making trouble, don't worry." ”

Wanxi knew that if something happened, it would not be one place, and shouted: "Lord Zhai, do you want to send someone to take a look at the Hongmao Pavilion?" ”

Regarding the fight they had fought a few days ago, Elder Yuekong had just heard Song He talk about it, and his heart was shocked, and he replied to Zhai Yin: "You guys go, Lao Gao go to the Red Hair Pavilion to have a look, if you can find Hui'er, Lao Gao will call him back." ”

Finding that the moon sky chief was too tired, Zhai Yin called a few errand servants and said, "Master, please rest, I will immediately send someone to the Red Hair Pavilion to have a look." ”

"Lord Zhai, Hui'er is regarded as a fugitive by them, if you catch him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with, so let's go." At this time, the gunfire on the dock became more and more intense, and the shouting of killing shook the sky, and Elder Yuekong continued to persuade: "It seems that the matter is not small, your manpower is not enough, so don't worry about the affairs over there, the old man will definitely be able to handle it, please rest assured." ”

So, Zhai Yin hugged his fists on the horse and said, "Master, take care!" Then he led the men and horses straight to the Hailong Wharf.

Let's talk about Liu Qian again, after he and Zhang Biao conspired, he sent a scoundrel to keep an eye on the Western merchants, don't let them run away, and quickly sent someone to find Jia Wang and go to the Hongmao Pavilion to negotiate again.

Felipe has reached a trade agreement with Shen Qi, through barter, he still needs to make up the difference of one million taels of silver, Shen Qi didn't dare to agree to Felipe easily, and wanted to wait for the discussion with the Elder of the Moon Sky before making a decision, but suddenly a catastrophe came and he was arrested and put into the Jinyi Guard.

In Felipe's opinion, he is very upright and does his business very fairly, given that he is looking for a long-term trading partner and wants to invest jointly in the New World, so there is nothing wrong with Shen Qi being cautious.

was waiting for Shen Qi's reply, and suddenly heard that something had happened to their warehouse, Felipe guessed that this may have been affected by himself, although it was a pity, but it couldn't help, since he was bullied by the bullies in Yuegang, why not change places, everyone packed their luggage, and prepared to go to Quanzhou to try their luck, just wanted to get out of the Red Hair Pavilion, and was blocked by the scoundrels.

waited until the evening, when Liu Qian and Jia Wang came, their attitudes were very different from before, and they very kindly invited Felipe and others to the banquet hall and asked for a new negotiation.

People under the eaves have to bow their heads. Felipe and the others had no choice but to put down their luggage again and come to the banquet hall to socialize with Liu Qian.

As soon as the two sides sat down, Jia Wang proposed to see the trade list they had reached with Shen Qi, Li Dan asked Felipe, and after getting the agreement, he handed over the list.

After all, he was born as a bookkeeper, and his abacus crackled, and his serious attitude and skillful techniques were worse than Shen Qi's, which stunned Felipe and the others.

For the doubts, Liu Qian didn't ask Jia Wang for help, and directly communicated with Felipe through Li Dan until the other party was satisfied. Felipe originally thought that Liu Qian was a ruffian, but looking at his serious attitude now, he was like two people compared to before.

In this way, Liu Qian calculated until late at night, from the category of goods, the price to the details of delivery, and found that this trade agreement was flawless, and he couldn't help but admire Shen Qi.

Because some time ago, many pirates and their families came back from Luzon Tortoiseshell Port, which kept Pang Shangpeng busy, Liu Qian knew that many people were settled in Yuegang, even if Xuande Zhenren did not sue, Pang Shangpeng might come.

Pang Shangpeng came directly from the political secretary, but he didn't know why it came to the hands of the Westerners, so he had to do a fair deal with the Westerners before Pang Shangpeng arrived, so they could help him testify and put gold on his face to eliminate those rumors that were unfavorable to him.

Having made up his mind in his heart, Liu Qian, who was smiling all over his face, promised Felipe that he fully accepted the agreement on this list, and asked Felipe to cancel the trade with Shen Qi and sign a new contract with him. For Liu Qian's unexpected move, it was completely unexpected by Felipe and others, and they couldn't refuse it at the moment, so they could only take one step at a time.

So, a big feast was held in the banquet hall of the Hongmao Pavilion, and Liu Qian was generous and asked to put the account on his head.

The banquet hall was full of laughter, and Felipe also brought out fine wine and sausages for everyone to taste.

Everyone toasted to each other, you came and went, and they were drunk, and Jia Wang accidentally learned that the reason why Shen Qi and the Westerners had not made a deal was because the Westerners had not brought enough silver, and to make up for the barter price difference, they could only follow them to Manila to get the silver.

Knowing this situation, Jia Wang immediately made a report to Liu Qian, and Liu Qian didn't take it too seriously, and said: "We only ask for fair trading, and we will give them as much raw silk as they have in cash." ”

Jia Wang shook his head and replied, "Liu Daguan, they don't think so. According to Li Dan, Felipe was anxious to transport raw silk to the New World and was preparing to open a silk factory in Acapulco on the other side of the ocean. Hehe, please forgive me for saying it, it will take more than a year to go to that ghost place, and if you don't get it right, you have to take your life, and even Shen Qi doesn't want to go, are you willing to go? ”

Liu Qian was quite disdainful, picked up his wine glass and said: "On our territory, how can we allow them to come nonsense? ”

Jia Wang pursed his lips and replied: "Big official, you underestimate them too much, this group of people has a note from the governor of Luzon, as well as a trade commitment letter from the magistrate of Manila, and even the governor yamen directly issued a merchant shipping quotation ticket, hehe, if you don't agree, they would rather wait a few more days and continue to look for a suitable partner." ”

"That's what he said?" Liu Qian hurriedly asked.

"Yes, the words they just discussed can't hide from me at all." Jawan replied.

Liu Qian, who is usually pampered, has little ability and temper, so he immediately threw away the wine glass in his hand, slammed the table, and suddenly became furious, shouting: "You called me that 'waste'!" ”

Li Dan watched the fire on the side, pulled Felipe and sat opposite Liu Qian, at this time, Felipe came over to toast Liu Qian.

Liu Qian took a symbolic sip, looked at the two of them reservedly, and said slowly: "How much money you have, how many things to do, don't be a big-tailed wolf!" ”

Li Dan translated the original words to Felipe, he was not angry at all, motioned to Li Dan to do a good job of translating, grinned, and began to speak:

The story begins with Marco Polo......

Next, Cortis led an expedition with less than a thousand men to surprise the Aztec Empire in the New World......

The Aztec Empire fell, and the Spanish king set up a viceroyalty in the New World, and began to expand his territory and emigrate overseas......

When the people of Europa heard about the discovery of silver at the Rico Peak, they crossed the ocean and built the city of Portosi at the foot of the mountain......

Later, everyone learned to use mercury, which greatly improved the purity of silver, and became as rich as Pudosi, which became a common saying among women and children......

Please don't worry about Liu Qian, his father has a silver mine in Portosi, where the silver will never be dug up, and the purpose of this visit to Yuegang is to find a suitable trading partner to open a silk factory in Acapulco......

After telling this story, Felipe took out his note, trade commitment letter, and merchant shipping quotation ticket, and handed it to Liu Qian very courteously.

Before this, Liu Qian had never seen these things, and he couldn't understand the tadpole text, so he couldn't help but glance at the two citation tickets, and suddenly gasped......

It turned out that the owner of the ship on the ticket turned out to be Li Dingguo, the elder of the moon, and he was taken aback, maybe Zhang Biao, the Jinyi guard in charge of the customs, did not know the origin of the elder of the moonlight, but he Liu Qian was very clear, so that the Westerners and Shen Qi were originally in the same group, and couldn't help but scold: "This fucking gang of charlatans!" ”

scolded and scolded, even if he figured out why Shen Qi came to Yuegang and why he dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head, Liu Qian couldn't swallow this bad breath, and decided not to do it endlessly, on the grounds that Shen Qi and Westerners were reselling merchant ships to lead tickets, let Zhang Biao and them fight quickly, directly seize the Manila galleon, and put them all in prison, even if Pang Shangpeng came, the raw rice had already been cooked.

At this time, Felipe grabbed Jawan and explained desperately: "I promise that the silk factory in Acapulco will be managed by you, and the price of silk will be determined by you, thank God, we will have endless silver in the future......"

Jia Wang didn't pay attention to Felipe anymore, and left the Red Hair Pavilion with Liu Qian behind. Not long after they left, gunfire began to erupt at Hailong Pier, and the strong men in black rushed into the Red Hair Pavilion and began to arrest people......

As early as when Zhai Yin went through the procedures for picking up people, Zhu Hui had already arrived at the Hongmao Pavilion, ready to stop the actions of the scoundrels at any time, and waited until it was dark, and the gang did not go to make trouble, but waited for Liu Qian and Jia Wang.

Zhu Hui, who had been secretly observing, finally waited for the opportunity, and just wanted to enter the Red Hair Pavilion to save people, but was suddenly grabbed by a big hand, and when he turned around, he saw that it was the master, Elder Yuekong.

Zhu Hui asked in surprise, "Master, why are you here?" ”

Suddenly, a group of people and horses roared past them, and the person at the head was Zhang Biao, the chief flag officer of the Jinyi Guard, seeing this situation, the Elder of the Moon Sky persuaded: "Disciple, you don't have three heads and six arms, go with the old man." ”

Felipe and the others were unwilling to be captured, and fought with them in the Red Hair Pavilion, and the miserable shouts were endless......
