Chapter 147: Asking for land and money
Ma Peiwen said a rough idea. I did business in Malacca, and I didn't make much money, so I wanted to build a mine to do it. This Malacca is rich in tin and is known as Greater Malaysia. What is the use of tin, we have to talk about tea.
Since the beginning of the maritime trade, the tea exported from China was no longer transported to the Middle East by the ancient silk route, but was continuously transported to Europe by sea. The sea air is naturally humid, and once the roasted tea leaves are damp, the quality will be affected. By lining the tea cans with tin foil, this problem is solved. Some spices and precious silks are also packaged in this way, which drives the tin industry in Malacca.
"So you made up a big lie about a gold mine, came here to make money, and then went back to the mine, ready to make enough money, and then return the chickens that were borrowed to lay eggs? You're a white wolf with empty gloves. β
Ma Peiwen smiled "shyly" and said, "See you." That's what, that's the way it is, a few big brothers, uncle, please let me live, let me go back to Malacca, and when the time comes, when the time comes, when the brothers make money, they will definitely come back to repay a few. β
"Do you think you can go back now? If you really let you go back, those squires and rich people will really see the hell. I guess there are those whistles on the dock now, as soon as I see you, a dead fat man, I must be arrested, don't think about going back. β
The fat man cried with a sad face, "It's all fucking old yellow head, come back for a fart, okay, it's all trouble to go back now." Yang Fan said: "What do you think of this?" I'm about to go to Malacca, I can take you with me, but ......"
"Do you really have what it takes to get me back?" The fat man glanced at Yang Fan suspiciously, "A few days ago, I found a few merchant ships openly and secretly, but none of them were accurate, I was afraid that they would sell Lao Tzu, do you have a ship?" β
Sun Yi smiled: "We don't have a ship? You open your eyes and go to the beach to see for yourself, what are the forty or so ships parked over there? The fat man's eyes rolled, and he quickly knelt down to protect Yang Fan's thighs, and cried to his mother: "It turned out to be Lord Yang." Your big brother must save me and take me out. β
This horse fat man is also no way, originally prepared to come back this New Year, and after the Qingming Festival, the new tea was harvested, and then a sum of extra money, and then back to Malacca, now at this time, the tea is not sharp, people do not go to sea, and the ship has not sailed to Malacca. After inquiring and inquiring, it seems that he also heard about Lord Yang, who had just landed yesterday, and it seemed that he wanted to go south. As soon as he heard that he was the head of the forty-odd ships, he immediately understood who this young man was.
"You get up first, it's not impossible to take you back to Malacca, you have to promise me two conditions. Otherwise, you can live a few more days with such trepidation. β
"You said that you said that except for asking for money, the small ones agreed to everything." The fat man's head nodded like a rattle. This fat man is really crazy about money. Yang Fan squatted down, twisted the face of the fat man, and said, "You are really not afraid of death." Let's go! β
"Hey, don't." As soon as Ma Peiwen heard that Yang Fan was leaving, he hurriedly grabbed Yang Fan's thigh, "There is something to say, there is something to say." Sir, you are generous, don't, it hurts too much. β
"Bring me the title deeds."
"Huh?" The fat man put his hand down and patted it on his thigh, "Sir, you just want my life, this title deed is given to you, and the small one will go to Malacca for wool, and simply plunge into the sea and drown." β
Yang Fan looked at the fat face that asked for money and didn't want to die, and finally found two slits from the fat face, regardless of whether this Ma Peiwen was looking at himself or not, and said slowly: "First, find a few veterans who are familiar with sea routes and lead the fleet to Malacca, remember, you have to be stable." Second, this title deed will be handed over to me first, rest assured, I have no interest in that mine, but this title deed is a little more insured in my hands. You can't just point at me and send you to Malacca, then pat your ass and leave, right? You say, to pay or not to pay? β
The fat man looked back and forth through the crack for a long time, and handed over the title deed to Yang Fan extremely reluctantly, and said, "Okay, it's just a temporary safekeeping, don't let me go." Yang Fan took the title deed, stuffed it into his arms, and said, "Wait here, naturally someone will come to pick you up." After speaking, he took Sun Yi and Li Yu, who were full of wine and food, and left.
The fat man sat on the ground in frustration, melancholy for a long time, and saw that there was still half of the food left on the table, so he quickly got up and ate first as a respect......

β¦β¦
Yang Fan, who came out of the restaurant, first went to visit the Zheng family again. Yang Fan specially picked such a time just after the meal, otherwise the wine would have been shipped over yesterday, and Zheng Zhilong would have paid the bill, so he really had to hehe. But unexpectedly, Zheng Zhilong was even more diligent than him, and prepared ten boxes of silver early, filled them full, and waited for Yang Fan to come and get them.
"Haha, Zheng Dudu is really a cheerful person. Under admiration admiration! Yang Fan also understands that this Zheng Zhilong is now eager to leave by himself, otherwise he will really immigrate to Taiwan, and when the time comes, the end will not be lost, and a steady stream of refugees will be transferred over, and this island will not be his Zheng family or Zheng family, and it will be directly controlled by the imperial court. He Zheng Zhilong still wants to eat and drink on this sea, and it is not a wise act to break his face with the imperial court now, so he simply took out the money and sent Yang Fan to leave quickly.
Yang Fan's lard was blindfolded, and his nature of asking for money was once again exposed, and he said: "Lord Dudu, you also know that this Luzon is not peaceful now, if we are really driven out by this foreigner, we will really have to go back to Taiwan Island." You see, I don't have many shells on these ten or so treasure ships, are you funding some of them? β
Zheng Zhilong's face was a little ugly, smiled, and said, "This is easy to say, easy to say." How dare you not give the ammunition that the lord wants. Wait for the day before the lord, sue sΓΉ below, Zheng someone will be sent together with the order flag. β
"Look at this, it's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, it's sunny today, and the ammunition is just taken out and transported to the ship, you see, ......" Yang Fan began his cheeky Dafa of asking for money, which was directly similar to Ming robbery. Zheng Zhilong smiled awkwardly, he was also a cheerful person, "Okay, I'll send it to the boat later." Now the lord is satisfied, right? β
"Haha, thank you, thank you. Zheng Dudu, farewell. β
"Sir, let's go." Zheng Zhilong looked at Yang Fan's back, the smile on his face sneered, Zheng Chenggong who was still at the dinner table on the side was not much younger than Li Yuhuan, he was eight or nine years old and was born smart, he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Yang Fan's actions, and asked: "Dad, why does that big brother always come to you to ask for things?" And he took so much money from my house. β
Zheng Zhilong looked at his smart and clever son and said, "So you have to listen to your father and read more." You see that my father is stupid, he says what he is, and he can't even find a reason to refute it. Remember, read more! If my father loses, he will lose because he read less books when he was a child, so he went to sea to find a job. β
Zheng Chenggong nodded, and walked back as if he didn't understand.
