The pirates and fishermen took advantage of this small island to take shelter from the wind and rain for a while, and naturally they were not in the mood to build infrastructure on the island, so the distance they climbed to the high point was quite difficult, and the high point was surrounded by many trees, which made Yu Guozhen change his mind.

Being surrounded by trees means that what he wants to do is not visible to others, which is not his intention. He's not sneaking around here, he's above board.

So he looked around again, and then felt that the group of people who stayed on the island was in a good position, and he pointed over there: "It's better to move things here, it's empty, and the coastline is suitable for landing on the island, most people who go to the island will choose this side...... They'll be able to see it. ”

When Yu Guozhen and them went to the island, Hu Jingshui was a little trembling, because he didn't know which kind of characters he came, if they just left the wolf's kiss and entered the tiger's mouth, there would be no shipload of goods to save their lives.

But seeing that Yu Guozhen seemed to be a good teacher, Hu Jingshui said strangely: "Could it be that you are here to find the dragon point?" But this Nightingale Island is just a lonely island in the sea, where is there any dragon vein? ”

This Hu Jingshui is bold and curious, otherwise he would not have become a maritime merchant, he quietly moved two steps to this side, and was about to take a look, but was knocked down by a sailor's punch: "Kneel, what are you going to do?" ”

This sailor is one of Yu Dahai's more than 20 old brothers, and their concern for Yu Guozhen's safety is no worse than that of a young guard. The punch fell, Hu Jingshui rolled on the ground, and then got up again: "I, I just want to see what that young hero is going to do." ”

"What you have to do now is to kneel down and be honest with us!"

"Hero...... What kind of people are the heroes, we are just maritime merchants, and we were plundered by those people, and that ship is our cargo ......" Hu Jingshui saw a few people in this white uniform boarding his ship, and said busily: "What I have on my ship is porcelain, pottery, and fine raw silk silk, and send it to Hoi An, not to mention the business of 30,000 taels, you ...... heroes."

"You're a merchant?" Yu Dahai's brother was stunned.

Their conversation was also heard by Yu Guozhen, who was not far away, and Yu Guozhen believed that this guy who looked a little stunned was indeed not a fellow Haikou.

"Hoi An?"

This word attracted Yu Guozhen's attention, Hu Jingshui said an official dialect with a strong flavor of Guangdong Buzheng Si, but Yu Guozhen still understood this word.

He ignored it at first, and began to let people dig holes. Hu Jingshui's curiosity was too heavy, and he couldn't help but probe his brain here, and when he found out that he was digging a pit, he was startled at first: "Should ...... Isn't it going to dig a pit and bury us? ”

Thinking about it immediately, this is in the vast sea, wouldn't it be simple to want their surnames to die, and after killing them, throw them into the sea, and their own sharks will deal with the aftermath, so there is no need to be so troublesome.

He tilted his head and looked at it for a while, and soon realized: "It turns out that a monument is erected here...... What kind of monument is erected here, is it really to bury the ancestors of the family here? ”

His mind was full of thoughts, and after a while, the stele had been erected, and he wondered if he could get closer and see what words were on it. At this moment, the young man who saw the tree monument beckoned to this side, and before he could figure out why, he was pushed: "Go, my son-in-law wants to see you!" ”

When Hu Jingshui heard the title of "Childe", his heart suddenly moved, if it was Haikou, he would not be called "Childe", but called King So-and-so, no matter how bad it is, it is also a so-and-so general.

When he arrived in front of Yu Guozhen, he first glanced at the stone stele, and then said, "Huh": "China Yingdao? ”

There is a column of big characters engraved on the front of the stone stele, which is the four characters of "China Yingdao". Then, on the left side of the stele, there are a few rows of small characters, Hu Jingshui looked at it carefully: "The inch of China, but also the painstaking efforts of the ancestors, there is no room for loss, I am afraid that future generations will not be worthy of descendants, I don't know the difficulties of the ancestors to expand the territory, the danger of breaking the waves, and the inscription of the monument." ”

Hu Jingshui was stunned: "The son is from the government?" ”

"Hehe, why did Your Excellency say this?"

"If it weren't for the government, how would this monument be erected?"

"Meat eaters are despised, and they can't plan far." Yu Guozhen remembered Cao Di's famous words during the debate, and said it in passing.

"Well, the villain Hu Jingshui, a person from Quanzhou, is a businessman...... Childe's surname? Hu Jingshui felt that he had nothing to say, so he said again.

"The surname is Yu, Yu Guozhen, and the word is Jimin." Yu Guozhen said with a smile.

"Yu ...... But the young tiger is not a young tiger, and the new hidden dragon is new? Hu Jingshui's eyes suddenly widened, and the eyes that shot out of his eyes were almost worship.

"Hey, you've heard of me?"

Yu Guozhen was also a little surprised, knowing that his new nickname was Xinxiang Qianlong, it was not surprising that this businessman was caught by the pirates, and it was known from their mouths, but knowing that his original nickname of "Wuwei Little Tiger" was not something ordinary people could do.

"It's really Yu Gongzi? Disrespectful and disrespectful...... Yu Gongzi, the villain has a doubt, and asked Yu Gongzi to solve the ending of "Ying Ning" in "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous" for the villain...... what is it, the villain only saw the first issue, and then did not see the second issue, but got the third and fourth issues......"

From his mouth, Yu Guozhen knew a news, that is, "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous" was also sold in Guangzhou, and the first issue caused a sensation, and by the second issue, it was difficult to buy it, because it was snatched and sold out. The third and fourth issues came one after another, and they were big sellers, and even the bookstores in Guangzhou began to pirate and print, and then sold them to the surrounding prefectures, and they got a lot of money.

When the first issue came, Hu Youshui happened to be in Guangzhou City, and bought a copy to pass the time on the boat, but he was attracted by the story of "Infant Ning" and was fascinated for a long time. After returning to Guangzhou, I tried every possible way to find the second issue, but I couldn't buy it, and I only saw the third issue of the follow-up, that is, the one that introduced Jinling Qinhuai Bayan Dabi.

"By the way, Yu Gongzi really deserves his reputation, and he deserves to be the number one romantic figure on the Qinhuai River." After talking a lot, Hu Jingshui began to praise Yu Guozhen again, and he gave a thumbs up: "In the fourth issue of "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous", I learned that Yu Gongli is the author of "Ying Ning"...... Later, the Quartet inquired, only to learn that Yu Gongzi was a young tiger's exploits! ”

Yu Guozhen smiled silently, looking at Hu Jingshui's eyes with deep meaning.

This Hu Jingshui is a wonderful person, and he is trying every possible way to get closer to the relationship. From the beginning to attract Yu Guozhen's attention, to now desperately patting on the back, I am afraid there is only one purpose.

Yu Guozhen's gaze made Hu Jingshui feel furious in his heart, he is an excellent businessman, and an excellent businessman will definitely not be a stupid person, whether it is against Haikou or Yu Guozhen, he has his own calculations. However, it seems that the young boy in front of him is even more difficult to deal with than those extremely murderous pirates.

"Shopkeeper Hu is a businessman, and he has always taken the line from Guangzhou to Hoi An?" Yu Guozhen asked.

"Yes...... Yu Gongzi, there are rumors in the Guangzhou Mansion now that Liu Xianglao also suffered a big loss in Yu Gongzi, his general Zhang Fu was killed, and another general, Li Husan, was also seriously injured...... Tsk, amazing, Yu Gongzi is really amazing, although he is a hero from ancient times, but like Yu Gongzi, the villain has been traveling south and north for more than ten years, but he has never heard of it. In Wuwei, Yu Gongzi eliminated the lake bandits, and in Qinzhou, Yu Gongzi eliminated the sea bandits and protected the territory and the people, which is really heroic! ”

As he spoke, he carefully observed Yu Guozhen's expression, but saw that Yu Guozhen was just smiling faintly, and he didn't know if he was listening to him.

The more Hu Jingshui spoke, the more dry he became, and finally had to shut up.

Seeing that he had finally quieted down, Yu Guozhen pointed to the merchant ship over there: "This ship was originally yours?" ”

"Yes, the villain also wants to thank Yu Gongzi for retaking this ship for the villain." Hu Jingshui said boldly.

Then he saw the sneer on Yu Guozhen's face: "Press back this ship for you...... Hehe, this ship is the spoils of war we took from the pirates, but it was not for you. ”

Hu Jingshui's face suddenly turned pale, he went around for a long time, desperately complimenting Yu Guozhen, in order for Yu Guozhen to raise his noble hand and return his ship and goods to him, but Yu Guozhen categorically denied it, which made him very annoyed in his heart, and at the same time secretly scolded, this new Xiangqian Dragon is really as difficult as the legend, and it can't be regarded by ordinary teenagers!

"Want your own ship and cargo?" Yu Guozhen laughed again.

Hu Jingshui nodded with a pitiful look. Yu Guozhen flicked his finger lightly on the stone tablet twice, this businessman is bold, thick-skinned, and can speak, which is quite similar to that Xu Lin, but he does not have the elegance of Xu Lin Huishang, and has a little more of the market's temperament, and he is a usable person.

Yu Guozhen himself is short of manpower, and many things must be done with the help of other forces, like this businessman, maybe he can be like Huang Shun to provide Yu Guozhen with the help he needs!

"Help me do one thing, the ship and cargo will be returned to you, and your benefits will be missing." Yu Guozhen said.

"Ah...... The petty officials just command! ”

"Don't worry, your ship, and your people, all follow us, go to Qiongzhou first." Yu Guozhen smiled: "If it succeeds...... I'm going to send a big fortune! ”

"Big Fortune?" Hu Jingshui's eyes suddenly lit up, since he had read "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous" and "People's Livelihood Express", he naturally knew that Yu Guozhen did have the ability to turn soil into gold, and the wealth he said was really Cotai Avenue!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "Young Master Yu, villain...... Ahem, it's an urgent surname, what does Yu Gongzi command, please say it! ”

He was not afraid that Yu Guozhen would regret it, Yu Guozhen smiled and said: "Since you are from Guangzhou Mansion, you should know that Guangzhou Mansion is close to Foshan Fort, a big town, right?" ”

"Iron ...... Yu Gongzi wants to buy iron? Hu Jingshui suddenly thought clearly: "The villain is familiar with the Heyuan Xian family, the Xixiang Li family, and the Jiangxia Huang family, and also has a relationship with the Dongtou Xian family and the Ganghua Chen family, whether the son wants to sell iron pots or other things, the villain can ......"

He pointed out the names of the five big iron families in Foshan in one breath, but his heart was uneasy, selling iron without permission, it was very likely that he was doing something illegal, this Yu Gongzi was known for his boldness, he also heard of it because he traveled back and forth between Nanjing and Guangzhou.

Yu Gongzi wants to buy Foshan ironware, will it be remelted and privately cast?
