Zhang Tielin is in a good mood recently, Zhang Tielin is a grain merchant, and he is one of the largest households in Suzhou City, regardless of whether it is official or market. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the buying and selling of food and medicinal materials can not be done by good people, and those who can mix well in this line are the masters who don't eat the black heart and liver, so naturally, this kind of person is happy must not be a good thing. This year's situation is good, although the Japanese are becoming more and more arrogant, but the southeastern provinces are basically harvesting, the barn is full of grain, I thought it was not able to sell the price, but who wants God to help him, in March, Altan Khan with the majestic soldiers and horses came to Daming for a walk and walked around, opened the horse market, in April, the Miao people in the south followed the trouble, as if they had made an appointment, to the autumn harvest in September, and I heard that the SD side was not very peaceful, and there was a famine due to the disaster, and some people pulled the flag and rebelled.

There is a war in the north, a war in the south, the granaries of the imperial court are about to bottom out, and the famine on the SD side must also be appeased, and the grain is one price a day these days, and the officials and masters in the various yamen are lining up to buy food, and in the past two days, I have been thinking about whether to buy two more concubines to take care of myself, and I have been busy losing weight recently.

This kind of national disaster is the most important thing to pay attention to, and it is definitely not good to really make the court anxious, although he has a backstage in the court, but he really forced the court to cut off your dog's head and then open a warehouse to put grain, and it is not good, and the reputation of mixing with the sky makes you have nowhere to reason. No, I heard that there was a big man in the Weaving Bureau, and Boss Zhang went to see the ceremony with him, even if he couldn't talk, it was good to be familiar with his face.

I thought that he would be familiar with his face when he went, and it would be very good to be able to say a few words, but who would have thought that the next morning he actually received a greeting post and asked him to get together at Songhe Tower at noon. This made Boss Zhang nervous all of a sudden, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

That's right, after going around in such a big circle, Xiaotian's target has never been Han Renbin and Huang Gonggong, but this black-hearted profiteer Zhang Tielin. Extracting teeth from the tiger's mouth has never been Xiao Tian's character, Xiao Tian himself understands better than anyone else, his fake identity can't pretend to be a few days, with the efficiency of the Ming Dynasty, it's probably no fun to cheat something from them, it's okay to cheat and eat and drink, but if you want to ask them for something, people will show you if they check it a little.

Zhang Tielin was very nervous when he came to Songhe Tower, in fact, he didn't know who this son was, but I heard that in the past two days, Huang Gonggong has been serving this master and serving his own father, and his identity is spread everywhere in the city, some people say that this is Yan Ge Lao's student disciple, some people say that this is Xu Ge Lao's own son who came from Songjiang, some people say that this is the Dingguo Gong who has just attacked the lord, and even some people say that this is the surname Zhu from the palace, in short, the identity of this prince is now a must-talk topic for the rich businessmen in Suzhou City after tea and dinner, Everyone is guessing, but no one can say for sure, but no matter who he is, he is a heavenly existence anyway, and he will not dare to offend. Xiao Tian has had an unexpected effect in letting Huang Gonggong serve him in and out of various public places in the past two days, after all, if he is not surnamed Lu, he is also a senior eunuch, so he has to make a face, even if Yan Shifan comes in person, Huang Gonggong may not be able to do better.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, don't be nervous, I don't have any other meaning to invite you here, I just want to do a business with you" The son's voice was soft, not arrogant, and polite made Zhang Tielin feel good.

"Childe is polite, as long as it is a place that Zhang can use, you just have to give orders."

"I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow, before leaving, Huang Gonggong was really polite, gave me a boatload of silk, silk is very fond of my son, but this whole ship of silk to really let me transport back to Beijing is also a bit dazzling, I am afraid that the elders of the family will not like it. Just in time for the SD disaster, I have been favored by the emperor for all generations to do my best for the Ming Dynasty, but the price of this grain is rising day by day, and I feel powerless to do anything, I heard that the shopkeeper Zhang has some savings in his hands, so I want to use a boat of silk sent by Huang Gonggong to exchange some food for SD to add a modest force to the imperial court, I don't know what the shopkeeper wants? ”

"No problem, although Zhang has little study, he can worry about the country, I don't know how much food my son wants?" Nima, you are a nobleman in Beijing asked me to buy food for disaster relief, where do I dare to refuse, if I dare to say a word today, it is estimated that tomorrow I don't want to say silk, I am afraid that I will have to move. Fortunately, although the silk of the Suzhou Weaving Bureau is not silver, it is also stiff. What kind of person is this son in front of him, this dynasty is so harsh and strict in the management of eunuchs, he dares to risk a lot of silk to send a boatload of silk as a favor.

"I don't understand the business things, you will let the workers move the boatload of silk down, you can see how much food is worth it, just give it to me, stop the grain ship at the dock before noon tomorrow and drive away with me."

Chinese words are broad and profound, and there are many words whose meanings you can't understand literally, such as this sentence looks at giving, according to the current price of grain, a boat of silk will be exchanged for a little more than three boatloads of grain, and it doesn't matter how it is delivered. But if you dare to stop three grain ships tomorrow and keep them at the docks, you will be bankrupt in a few days. What's more, although I don't know who this noble person is, it's always good to have a good fate, so Boss Zhang gritted his back molars vigorously, and Le Xiaotian saw eight fully loaded grain ships the next day. What? What do you say about the ship, then you still need to ask, each ship is equipped with a few pressurized boats, and the rest are all used by Xiaotian's people, and the ship is surnamed Le when it goes to sea.

The task has been successfully completed at this point, although Li Daring and the others don't know what is going on, but the eight ships plus the food on the ships are real. Everyone's eyes were full of reverence and fanaticism when they looked at Le Xiaotian, why did they come to Suzhou to play for a few days, and the harvest was so big? They looked at Le Xiaotian feverishly, but at this time, Le Xiaotian looked at another thing feverishly.

I saw that on the Suzhou Creek, there was a real giant parked, up and down eight floors, hundreds of meters long, the seven and huge masts pointed angrily at the sky, making the whole ship look majestic, and the huge hull almost blocked the entire Suzhou Creek. This is Zheng He's treasure ship, why did he come to Suzhou.

Zheng He's treasure ship, the pinnacle of ancient Chinese shipbuilding technology, compared with Western countries of the same period, because of the design concept, it is much larger, and the Galen ship is like a child compared to it. In fact, this does not mean that China's shipbuilding technology is ahead of the West, because the design concept is very different. The fleet of the West goes to sea to do business, and the armed forces are to escort business, so the cost of shipbuilding cannot exceed the profit of business, and it is more conducive to them to do business all over the world. Zheng He's treasure ship is different, its main mission when it went to sea was to raise the prestige of our TC country, and the cost of Shenma was a floating cloud for my Ming Dynasty, and such a giant ship was also more deterrent to those Fanbang aliens. Moreover, Zheng He's treasure ship is not strictly speaking a warship, it is actually an armed merchant ship.

Comrade Xiaotian couldn't take his eyes off when he saw this treasure ship. What does it mean to have such a ship? It means that from now on, you can go wherever you want. It means freedom. Xiao Tian felt that since he had involuntarily become a pirate, he had to have such a ship to match his identity.

There is no reason for such a big ship to stop on the Suzhou River, the sea is his home, but no matter what the reason, Xiaotian decided to take a risk and not come back when the opportunity was not lost, he wanted this ship too much.
