Nearly 10,000 taels of silver, loaded with two carriages, escorted by the Lingnan Five Tigers, arrived at the Xinning County Ya.

"I've never seen so much silver!" When Di Feng saw the silver, he almost looked up to the sky and shouted, and then immediately asked people to look around for a place to hide the silver, just eager to spread the silver into the bedroom to make a bed, "It's not easy to come by, it's not a joke to lose it."

The ugly child looked at Di Feng's old wealth-like appearance, and there was a burst of contempt in his heart, and he couldn't help laughing; "Isn't it nine thousand seven hundred taels of silver! Da Lang still has something to hide, if you give it to me, I can make it turn over in a few days."

When Di Feng heard Ugly'er's words, he almost stared out his eyes, "I used the means of real estate development in later generations, and the nearly 10,000 taels of silver that I worked so hard to earn were actually despised by a little girl in the Tang Dynasty, is this still reasonable?" ”

Seeing that Chou'er was full of confidence, and it didn't look like he was laughing again, Di Feng couldn't help but ask Chou'er suspiciously, "What do you have a good plan, let's talk about it."

"Don't worry, let's go and see who the surname Lin is, we will talk about it later", Chou'er is most curious now is that he can use 800 taels to shoot away the No. 1 shop, in Chou'er's opinion, this person's vision and financial resources are extraordinary, and he can have such courage, then he is definitely not an idle person, such a person is the ...... we urgently need to make friends now.

Di Feng and Chou'er were talking, the Lingnan Five Tigers had already placed the silver, and they also came over at this time, hearing the conversation between Di Feng and Chou'er, Mu Hu interjected and said: "I suspect that this person is from the Lin family in Quanzhou, I heard in Lingnan that the Lin family in Quanzhou has dozens of big ships, proficient in maritime affairs, and the wealth of the family can be described as rich and rival the country, listening to the accent, this person should be from Fuzhou, and his surname is Lin, and he should not be wrong to be bold."

The five tigers from Lingnan should have a better understanding of the situation in Lingnan Road, seeing that Muhu was so sure, Di Feng also moved his mind, "Since he has a boat, why don't you win it over yourself, water transportation, without his own fleet, wouldn't it be a loss", as soon as he thought of the magnificent Age of Discovery, Di Feng was excited in his heart, and hurriedly beckoned everyone, "Go, let's go and see if this surnamed Lin is a member of the Lin family in Quanzhou."

In the three halls of the county government, Di Feng carefully looked at the man surnamed Lin in front of him, he was in his thirties, his face was angular, and the three long beards added a little elegance to him, but his dark skin, steady lower plate, and burly figure made this person look rough and bold again.

This person also brought a young child who was only six or seven years old by his side, this young child was tiger-headed, hiding behind the adult, secretly poking his head out and looking at Di Feng with those big black eyes, as soon as he saw Di Feng, he shrugged his head back; Di Feng's childlike heart rose, and when the young boy poked his head out again, Di Feng made a grimace violently, scared the young child and sat on the ground with a tuck by the corner of the man's robe.

The man surnamed Lin was about to greet Di Feng, but when the young boy suddenly dragged him and interrupted what he was about to say, he turned around angrily and slapped the top of the young child's head, and shouted in his mouth: "Don't get up to greet Di Xian Ling!" Although he said that this young boy was talking about it, he was secretly thinking in his heart, "This Di Feng is an unruly person, seeing that he looks childlike when he teases his son, this person should have a good heart."

The child's upright bun was beaten and trembled, and he looked at Di Feng in shame, pouting stubbornly and refusing to speak, Di Feng was embarrassed to see it, so he hurriedly said: "It was Di who teased this doll first, Mr. Lin is not strange, let him get up." Di doesn't have so many rules here. ”

Before the man surnamed Lin could speak, the doll preemptively said in a childish voice: "I am willing to be punished, and I use you to jump out and be a good person!" It seems that this doll has a lot of resentment towards Di Feng and does not appreciate it.

"You bastard!" When the man surnamed Lin heard this, he scolded and raised his hand to fight again. But was stopped by Di Feng in time, "Mr. Lin, don't be annoyed, children are when they are childlike, even if you play like this, even if you are a genius, you will be beaten stupid."

The man surnamed Lin couldn't bear to really hit this young child, and was stopped by Di Feng, so he took the opportunity to drag the young child, whether he intended to use the young child to test it or not, but Di Feng's actions made him feel good, so he bowed his hand and said: "In Xia Quanzhou Lin Zhihuan, I have seen Di County Order!" Saying that, he pointed to the young boy and said: "This is the dog Lin Luan, because he first arrived in Xinning, and he didn't bring an entourage with him, and the dog was young and afraid of getting lost, so he took the dog with him this time, and asked the Ming Mansion to forgive me for the inappropriateness."

As soon as Di Feng heard that this person was from Quanzhou, he instantly thought that Mu Hu's guess might have hit eight or nine points, so he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Lin is the Lin family of Quanzhou maritime merchants?" ”

Lin Zhihuan was shocked, he didn't expect that this Di County Commander had heard of his Lin family, and he also hurriedly replied: "The lowly industry is not enough to worry about, how dare you ask when the Di County Order, isn't it that there are some sea ships in Quanzhou, and some barter transactions with Yizhou, Ryukyu, Nan Duffy and other countries." ”

Di Feng saw that this person was the Lin family that Muhu said, and his heart was ecstatic, "This is a sleepy person who sent a pillow, just in time, Xinning Wharf was just built, and there is a lack of such a large number of businessmen, with this Lin family taking the lead, why not attract other businessmen to follow suit?" But ......" Di Feng hesitated and asked, "Why did Mr. Lin come to Xinning?" You are doing business at sea, can this sea ship enter my Wujiang wharf? ”

"The water depth of the Wujiang River channel, the river is wide enough, my sea boat can get in, not to mention that I have more than a dozen sand boats, this time I came to Xinning, but also my branch in Yizhou to hand over the news, saying that this Xinning is going to open the wharf, this overnight rushed to take a look, at a glance, Fang Zhidi County Ling Dacai, Lin also went to too many places, but such a regulated construction as the development zone has never been seen, and then heard that the wharf craftsman praised the deeds of Di County, Lin moved the mind of buying a house here." Lin Zhihuan said and said with a smile on Di Feng's face: "It's not that Lin deliberately flatters, the environment of Xinning Wharf is very good, and Xinning's specialty tea, iron, salt, oil, and lacquer are all sought-after goods from overseas countries, and merchants are profit-seeking, in order to reduce the setbacks, I also bought this store after careful consideration."

"That's very good, I want to know, what overseas countries has Mr. Lin been to?" Di Feng wanted to know what the situation was like overseas now, especially those island countries that were known to be full of jewels.

"Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the ancestors have been engaged in maritime trade, and this route has been explored, Lin has been to Yizhou, Ryukyu, Puduan, Gantang, Boni, Sanfoqi, Weili, Funan, Zhancheng, Jiaozhi and other areas, and the Wa Kingdom has only been to it once...... "Lin Zhihuan replied honestly.

Di Feng heard this, and shouted wildly in his heart: "Forehead, a god!" This Lin Zhihuan is simply the Tang Dynasty version of Zheng He, why have I never seen a record of this person in the history books? I couldn't help but ask about the shipping routes and trade situation one by one. Lin Zhihuan didn't hide it, answering Di Feng's questions one by one, and at the same time, he was secretly surprised that Di Feng was so familiar with shipping.

In this way, one of the two wanted to make friends sincerely, and the other wanted to have a local support, so Di Feng and Lin Zhihuan became closer and closer the more they talked.

Unconsciously, it was noon, Di Feng ordered someone to arrange a banquet, and called Tian Yangming and Chou'er, the four of them chatted while eating, during the banquet Di Feng told his later generations about Southeast Asia, Taiwan and Japan's customs and customs, and geomorphological specialties, everyone listened to the extensive knowledge of Di Feng, and Lin Zhihuan talked about speculation with Di Feng.

The ugly child also interjected from time to time, and the words were full of whimsical words, Lin Zhihuan listened to it and said secretly: "I really didn't expect that such a little girl has such knowledge, and she pretends to have seen people, but compared to this master and servant, it makes people sigh." When Lin Zhihuan learned that what Chou'er learned was taught by Di Feng, an idea lit up in his eyes.

"This Di County Ling is well-informed, and I have heard that he is all-round in civil and military affairs, and a Linjiang Immortal is recited in the sea, why don't you hand Lin Luan to this person to teach? I don't want Lin Luan to become a dignitary, as long as he can have the talent of an ugly child, I just don't know if this Di Feng agrees? Lin Zhihuan had this thought, and became more and more deliberately close to Di Fengtao, and after a meal, the two were already brothers.

After the banquet was over, Tian Yangming and Chou'er still had affairs to do, so they left first; Di Feng and Lin Zhihuan are each with their own thoughts and indeed chatted unfinished, so they continued in Santang, the two talked about the development of mainland business and overseas commerce from the customs of various places, Lin Zhihuan admired Di Feng's real estate development and the development prospects of overseas commerce, and Di Feng took the opportunity to say that he wanted to cooperate with the Lin family.

This idea is very big, from the inland wharf to the coastal port, covering all aspects of transportation and real estate, as well as shipbuilding, listening to Lin Zhihuan's heart, if according to Di Feng's vision, he may become the leader in controlling the water transportation of the Tang Dynasty, and then he will not want to be rich and wealthy, and he will be an official?

But everything that is needed is not something that a small county order can bear, although Lin Zhihuan is excited, but this investment is to take all his net worth, and he can't help but think about it clearly. Considering the scruples together, Lin Zhihuan showed hesitation.

Di Feng naturally also saw Lin Zhihuan's concerns, in order to appease this wealthy owner, Di Feng revealed his identity very tactfully, "What Di said is not a groundless delusion, don't look at my Xinning is ugly, Di has no authority, but Di has some connections in Chang'an, and if Di can't solve the local obstacles, you can also ask his father Di Renjie to lend a hand......"

"The son of Di Ge Lao? …… If you go out, you can still earn it back if your net worth is gone, Di Ge Lao's big tree is not something that he, a small businessman, can lean on casually, and the coastal port itself has long had the idea of construction, but the local government did not agree, and now this opportunity is just right", thinking of this, Lin Zhihuan just agreed to Di Feng's cooperation request with a little groan, and took the opportunity to say the idea of letting Lin Luan apprentice Di Feng.

In order to cooperate smoothly, Di Feng did not hesitate, and agreed, a sheep is also released, and a group of sheep is also released, so it is time to find a companion for Chou'er and Yan Qing. But no one thought that an apprentice that Di Feng casually accepted would become a dazzling star in the history of navigation in the future.
