"Where's the ship?" Lotte asked.

The soldier hurriedly replied: "Back to the Hou Ye, it was Commander Liao who led the fleet that went out to track and encircle the bandits on the orders of the Hou Ye, and came back!" ”

Appointed as the governor of the Southeast Water Division, Lotte naturally had to make a show to the imperial court, the imperial court let itself go to encircle and suppress the raid on Guangzhou Lu Shinang, he naturally could not pretend to be deaf and dumb, just took the opportunity to encircle and suppress Lu Shinang, Lotte let his command of Xiu, Yue, Hangzhou three states of the naval army to take the naval army and the merchants to the sea, in the name of encircling and suppressing bandits, the actual business and trade of the sea, by the way in Luzon, Java, Johor, Jinzhou to find a foothold that can be stopped.

The soldier's repeated encirclement and suppression of the bandits made Master Lu very uncomfortable, but he could only endure it. At this time, Lu Shisang listened to the use under the Lotte account, and changed his name and surname in order to expose his identity.

At night, the royal palace is brightly lit. Lotte, Lu Jiang, Chen Hoop, Lu Shinang, Wang Zuo, Bai Yuanwai, Liao Shixian and others sat together, as their own Lao Tzu, Wang Zhe could only stand behind his father Wang Zuo.

"Master Hou, this time Luzon is really worth the trip, the last general and others in the Luzon Islands to check out, in addition to the discovery of sea specialties of the golden pearls, that Luzon also has copper and gold mines, according to the accompanying gold miner said, Luzon's gold mines can be six dollars and five gold placers per thousand catties of gold mines!" Liao Shixian introduced to everyone with his eyebrows fluttering.

I only listened to the hearts of the people, everyone has a number of rich and poor gold mines, Lotte also calculated in his heart, with the algorithm of later generations is that the gold content of Luzon can dig more than 40 grams of gold in a ton of gold mines, which is a natural rich mine, and in later generations, each ton of gold mines can mine several grams of gold, all of which have mining value.

While introducing the situation in Luzon to everyone, Liao Shixian ordered someone to bring in the harvest from Luzon Island and watch it with a crowd.

When the next person put these harvests in front of everyone, everyone took a breath of cool air. In the past, these people only took those routes that they had run, and they didn't notice that there were so many good things in those deserted places.

The large and small gold nuggets are already very amazing, those extremely rare and valuable fiery red coral trees produced in the South China Sea, which are rare to see in the market, and this trip has harvested hundreds of trees, which makes everyone marvel, but when they see the largest golden pearl the size of a pigeon's egg, the people in the house are all amazed.

In the past, these people had seen white, red, pink and even black pearls, but when they had ever seen golden pearls, especially those carefully selected pearls that were round and the size of pigeon's eggs, they were almost shocked.

Everyone here is knowledgeable, knowing that ordinary pearls of various colors can find a pigeon's egg-sized, round and dense texture, and can often be sold for a sky-high price, and these golden pearls that are round like pigeon's egg size can be described as priceless.

After offering a few of the largest golden pearls to Lotte, Master Liao first explained: "Master Hou, in fact, there is a bigger golden pearl, but it is a strange shape, and the last general will not be dedicated to Lord Hou!" ”

"It's really a good thing, Ben Hou has seen a lot of good things, and I really haven't seen such a treasure!" Lotte took out one and played with it in his hand and sighed, and then said to everyone: "One grain for each of you, the right to be a thing to play with!" ”

Bai Yuanwai hurriedly shook his head and excused himself: "This trip to Luzon is led by Hou Ye, that is, we have been inexhaustible in dividends, and these gold beads should be given to Hou Ye!" ”

Listening to what Bai Yuanwai said, a group of people also said yes again and again.

Lotte waved his hand: "No need, go back to Benhou to pick more than ten smaller grains, this time to the two Zhejiang before and after the year, when you return to Biandu, you will bring a small family to play fun." ”

Huang Kanjian also persuaded from the side: "Hou Ye, it won't be long before you will be transferred to the court, and when you enter the court, Hou Ye will present this gold bead to the official family to show his heart, or you can avoid Wang Huang and his ilk from being disturbed by slander in front of His Majesty." ”

The crowd nodded yes.

At this time, Wang Zheyan, who had never made a sound, said: "Master Hou, don't be humble, I only stayed in the southwest sea of Luzon for a few days, and we still have to explore the place where the natives mined gold, so we only collected such gold beads from the water, and there are larger areas that have not been collected, if you go again next time and have enough time, we will definitely be able to mine this even bigger gold bead!" ”

Lotte said: "Although there are many such exotic treasures in Luzon, they do not last for a long time, and only moderation is the way to last for a long time." ”

"What Master Hou said is true!" Wang Zhe hurriedly spoke, thought for a while and said, "Master Hou, if you introduce the seashells that can give birth to golden balls to my Great Song Dynasty to cultivate ......."

"No!" Without waiting for Wang Zhe to finish speaking, Lotte shook his head and said: "The climate of Luzon is different from that of my Great Song Dynasty, the water quality is different from that of my Great Song Dynasty, and it is really difficult for shellfish in a foreign land to survive, so it is really difficult for this method to succeed!" ”

Listening to Lotte's words, Wang Zhe thought about it and hurriedly said: "What Hou Ye said is very true, Hangzhou is cold in winter, Luzon is hot in all seasons, and the climate of the two places is very different, just as it is difficult for southern things such as lychee and bayberry in Fujian to survive in the north. ”

There is one thing that Lotte did not say to Wang Zhe that the color of pearls is because of the various trace elements rich in the sea, so they will show different colors.

Thinking of a way to make money, Lotte said: "Cultured pearls are also a way to make money, so you might as well find more people who can raise pearls and bring them to Luzon to cultivate gold pearls, which will be more profitable to mine gold mines." ”

"Master Hou" Bai Yuanwai arched his hand and said: "Luzon is thousands of miles away from my Great Song Dynasty, how can anyone be willing to leave his hometown to make a living in such a barbarian land?" ”

Lotte said: "As the saying goes, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and there will be people under the big profits, and the two Zhejiang provinces are about to be in turmoil again, as long as you recruit people, the people of the two Zhejiang who are unbearable to the court will definitely leave their homes and businesses to go." ”

"What does Master Hou mean?" Bai Yuanwai and Wang Zuo asked in surprise. The two of them have their family businesses in Hangzhou, how can they want to see chaos between the two Zhejiang.

With a long sigh, Lotte smiled bitterly: "Le Mou also just got the news, the official family has restored the Supply Bureau and Huashigang, and the hard days of the people of Zhejiang and Zhejiang have come again." ”

Wang Zuo and Bai Yuanwai have all suffered from Huashigang, after the Fangla Rebellion, the rich people of Zhejiang and Zhejiang were almost killed, and the imperial court reopened the Supply Bureau and Huashigang, in Hangzhou, the two will undoubtedly be listed as the primary target of Zhu Mian's exploitation.

Lotte is also helpless in this regard, in fact, Lotte is not able to delay his two fathers-in-law even if he is the envoy of the two Zhejiang systems, after all, Zhu Mian's banner is to do things for the Son of Heaven, even in the past, Chen Jian could not interfere with the two Zhejiang systems.

Lotte began to arrange his affairs and plans after leaving: "The Son of Heaven intends to join Jin to fight Liao, and Le has not been in Liangzhejiang for a long time. ”

"We will all act according to the arrangement of the Hou Ye." Wang Zuo and Bai Yuanwai said in unison.

His eyes fell on Wang Zhe's body, and Lotte asked, "Wang Zhe, can you do what Benhou commands?" ”

Wang Zhe hurriedly replied: "Everywhere I went, Liao commanded the envoys and his subordinates to act according to the orders of the Hou Ye, and left my Great Song stele and stone handwriting in the Luzon lands and islands. ”

Nodding: Lotte continued: "Luzon is like spring all year round, abundant rainfall, very suitable for rice planting, according to the calculation of Benhou in Luzon to reclaim the field, three crops of rice can be harvested a year, the comprehensive development of Luzon, enough to feed a population of more than 10 million, and the Hanhai has very few foreign enemies, it should be a blessed land to escape from the world, but also for us to open up space for future generations of Chinese children and grandchildren."

As for Jinzhou, Java, and Johor, build a port as a foothold first, and then slowly plan it, and don't take the initiative to clash with the local barbarians, and wait for the opportunity to change. ”

A group of people are very convinced of Lotte's words, Dongying silver mining has shown the uniqueness of Lotte's vision, the only trip to Luzon in the south is not only to find a gold mine, but also to find a rare golden pearl in the world, as if to find a treasure in general, the heart is even more admiration, looking at the layout of Lotte, can even work hard in the present Li in the future to describe.

The general outline of Haibu's layout has appeared in front of a group of people, Lotte can't do everything in detail, everything must bow to the greetings, Wang Yuanwai and Bai Yuanwai are both veterans of the shopping mall, Chen Hoop Bucket and Lu Jiang are also strategic, and the commander of the Sanzhou Navy is backed by, with such a good foundation, naturally there is no need for Lotte to worry about anything.

……

Luzon is close to the Great Song Dynasty, and Johor, Jinzhou, and Guawa are even farther away from the Great Song Dynasty.

But at this time, Lotte couldn't wait for the return of the two fleets, and a few days after the imperial court's order to order Tong Guan to lead the army back to Beijing arrived, Zhao Ji's edict to transfer Lotte back to Biandu also arrived.

Obviously, Zhao Ji has made up his mind to go north to Liao, how can he let Lotte be idle and watch the excitement.

This time I left Hangzhou Beibiandu, compared to the majestic when I came, Lotte walked almost quietly, there was no people to see off and there was no umbrella for the people, and there was no exaggerated plot of taking off his boots and leaving his love, almost lonely.

After all, Lotte is not the parent official of Liangzhejiang Road now, and there is no need to steal the limelight of the officials of Liangzhejiang Road, so there is no fanfare when he leaves, only Wang Yuan, Bai Yuan, and a number of generals of the Liangzhejiang Navy see him off. Lotte also only brought Shakuchi and Tu Si by his side, as well as Wu Song and Yang Zhi, who were well-guarded, and in addition to Lu Shisang and several generals of the original Yi Army.

These generals of the rebel army performed quite well in fighting against the official army and had great command ability, so Lotte planned to hone Lu Shisang and Xiangren under the command of Liu Fa and Chong Shidao and others, so that these people could become real generals.

As for the Liangshan army, Lotte separated these Liangshan troops and threw them into the caravan as a guard, and those who were unwilling were allowed to stay in the army. These Liangshan soldiers suffered the loss of being used as cannon fodder in the official army, and they did not want to be in the official army anymore, except for a small number of home, most of the rest were incorporated into the caravan by Lotte.

At this time, the drunken begonia has been eight months pregnant, how can the bloated body withstand the bumpy fatigue of the road, Lotte will be placed in the king's home to recuperate and wait for childbirth, after the birth, choose a suitable time in the north of Biandu.

As for the name of the drunken begonia, Lotte has also thought about it, and the house is crowded enough, so it can no longer be included in the house, and it is an outer room for the house to buy outside. Although I am a little sorry for the drunken begonia, it can only be so.

Between mid-spring and early summer in the fourth year of Xuanhe, Lotte spent his time in the waterways of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and the Bianhe River.

Lu, Lotte was silent most of the time, and there was no smile on his face, until he approached Biandu to Hongqiao, looked northwest along the Bianhe River, and saw the tall city wall and East Water Gate of Biandu, and a smile appeared on his face.

I haven't been home for more than a year, and I don't know what my home is like.
