Chapter 271: Under the World (I)

"Shh Shen Fu put his finger to his lips and responded in a low voice, "Brother Shenyan, the chief manager is walking in a tiger's step, how can Shen Moujie's traders not be afraid at all, it's just, hehe"

After thinking about it, he rubbed his hands proudly, "The more this kind of really far-sighted heroes and heroes, the more restrained they are, as long as you don't deliberately touch his scales, why would he ruin his reputation for an insignificant little person." ”

"If you Shen Wansan are a small person, wouldn't all the traders under the sky become ants?" Shi Nai'an glanced at him, dejected, too cruel, too hit, in vain he was still thinking about how to save Shen someone's life, who expected that Shen someone would stand in a safe place from the beginning, and he would not be hurt a single hair at all.

"Brother Shi is really overrated." Shen Fu put away his smile and shook his head slightly, "I'm afraid it's a little scary, it's just not as powerful as you see, especially when Manager Zhu broke the grain from Zhancheng, Shen's soul almost didn't fly out of the sky, but when it came later, he was not so afraid." ”

"And why?" Shi Nai'an heard him say something strange, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"You have seen a few people in the world who know where Zhancheng is, and he is said to have never left Xuzhou before the incident." Shen Fu grinned and sighed, this is what makes him feel the most panicked, not because Zhu Chongjiu is high-powered, nor because the Huai'an army is strong and strong, in this life, there are many powerful and powerful people with heavy troops, including Liu Futong, which insight has ever been out of his own field of vision, and only Zhu Chongjiu, not only knows about Zhancheng, knows Ma Lajia, and even mentions that he buys silver and sulfur from the Wa Kingdom, and buys ivory and gold from the Lion Country, which is not a gift from God. He has never been to the sea, and he is not a wealthy businessman, how can he be clear about things thousands of miles away.

"That's right." Shi Nai'an was also puzzled by this, he had been a wanderer for half his life and had traveled extensively, but among all the strange people he came into contact with, he couldn't find a second person as knowledgeable as Zhu Chongjiu, as if he had tens of thousands of books in his stomach, and he took out a random one, which was a classic that was hard to find.

"Shen is afraid of him because he is afraid of his omniscience, and the reason why Shen is not afraid of him later is because he has some support." Shen Fu thought about it, and summed it up very soberly, "And tonight, first, Shen did not break his rules, and second, if he wanted to kill Shen, when I opened my mouth to ask about the artillery, I had already ordered my own soldiers to push Shen out, so why give him so many opportunities to speak, third, kill Shen, who in the world still has the ability to get him so much food." ”

"No wonder your business is so big." The more Shi Nai'an listened, the more admired he became, and he sighed and shook his head, "Compared to characters like you, Shi is simply a fool." ”

"Brother Shi doesn't have to be too humble, he has a specialization in the art industry, that's all." Shen Fu grinned and continued to add in a low voice, "When it comes to money, Shen's mind will always turn faster, and his courage will become bigger unconsciously. ”

"Hey." Shi Nai'an pouted angrily, deep in his heart, he had to admit that Shen Fu's words had some truth.

"Don't be too busy laughing at me." Shen Fu thought about it for a while, and said very seriously, "What will happen to you in the future, you should also make a decision, you won't be a person in your sixties anymore, and you will hide in Tibet all day long, and bury your stomach full of learning skills, and finally bury it all in the coffin with yourself." ”

"Hi" Shi Nai'an sighed lowly, silent, before coming to Yangzhou, he did have a lot of expectations for this trip, in Yangzhou these days, through guò many aspects of understanding, he does firmly believe that the other party is not Xu Shouhui, Bu Wangsan, Fang Guzi and other reckless comparison, it is worth recommending himself, but after a toss tonight, he suddenly realized that his heart is not as heavy as before, and he always feels that there is nothing bad about being a bookmaker, at least not because of the corpse vegetarian meal, delaying other people's affairs.

"Brother Shi, you won't be hit." What a smart person Shen Fu was, he immediately guessed a few clues from Shi Nai'an's sigh.

"It's not a blow." Shi Nai'an grinned bitterly, "It's just that I met Manager Zhu and you Shen Fu, and Shi Mou knew how ridiculous he used to sit in the well and watch the sky." ”

"Brother, don't say that." When Shen Fu heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand to comfort, "The so-called shopping mall is like a battlefield, have you heard of it, Shen also added a sentence to it, the battlefield is like officialdom, this business and being an official are essentially the same as fighting a war, it is the most grinding thing in the world, Brother Shi used to be an idle cloud and a wild crane, and he only saw how others were, but he never entered the scene, and he had no experience, so when he was with us, he would always be blinded by the illusion on the surface, and he really went through a few times, even if it was three or two months, will stand out like the Lingtu. ”

"Brother Shen really can speak." Shi Nai'an shook his head and smiled bitterly, feeling a little more comfortable in his heart, but his morale was still not very high.

"Otherwise, according to Shen's opinion, the Huaiyang Shogunate may not have a place for you." Shen Fu recognized the truth and analyzed it for him very carefully, "Think about it, there are only a few scholars available in his hands in charge of Zhu, when the Xuzhou uprising, I am afraid that there will not be too many scholars who dare to raise a knife with the Red Turban Army, more than nine months ago in Huai'an, who was willing to sacrifice his life to fight like a disciple, it is estimated that it can be counted with two slaps, and now he is sitting on two roads and a mansion, can these people be busy, if they are wantonly used to be the children of the gentry, how can they ensure that those people will not collude, Deceived and concealed, therefore, at this moment, an outsider like Brother Shi who is not treated by the northern government is the one he dares to accept most confidently and boldly, without him, it is impossible to form a party for personal gain, and he has never heard of Brother Shi's name."

"There is that "Qinyuan Spring" hanging over his head, who dares to claim to be talented." Shi Nai'an thought about it and continued to smile bitterly, the blow he received today was really heavy, and it was difficult for him to recover for a while.

"Anyway, Shen is going to open a few shops in Yangzhou, Brother Shi might as well stay with Shen for a while, don't leave in a hurry." Seeing that Shi Nai'an never raised any spirit, Shen Fu had no choice but to use the strategy of delaying the army first, although Zhu Chongjiu said that he would treat everyone equally, but according to his previous business habits, every time he started business in a place, he would definitely try his best to establish a good relationship with the local government first, and Luo Ben, the prefect of Yangzhou with a great future, is the next key befriending object of the Shen family, with Shi Nai'an, the teacher, no matter what, Luo will also read a little incense to the Shen family.

Of course, these trivial things can't be publicly announced, lest Shi Nai'an's scholar lose his temper and walk away and hurt the feelings between each other.

Shi Nai'an has been writing books for a living for most of his life, where can he guess so many twists and turns, listening to Shen Fu's enthusiasm, he sighed again, and agreed in a low voice: "It's okay, Qingyuan has an official position after all, I live with him, it is inevitable that people will gossip after a long time, so I just continue to bother Brother Shen, anyway, I already owe you a lot of favors before, and I don't care about owing more." ”

"What do you owe, Shen can't ask for it, go, go, drink a bowl of wine first, I heard that there is a special roasted spring here, which is as clear as white water, but the entrance is as hot as a knife." Shen Fu immediately grabbed Shi Nai'an's arm and laughed like a fox who had just eaten a chicken.

The two brothers are also old friends, and there is no need to say too much politely, so they helped each other into a tavern that was still in business, ordered a pot of liquor that only Huai'an can produce, ordered a few dishes, had a light meal, and then agreed to meet the next day, and then dispersed with a little drunkenness.

After returning to the inn where he lived temporarily, Shen Fu changed his image, called his eldest son Shen Mao to his side, closed the door first, and completely recounted today's experience in the Grand Governor's Mansion, and then took a deep breath and ordered in an unquestionable tone, "You leave by boat early tomorrow morning, and after you go back, immediately hand over all the things at hand to Ah Fu, and then you get on the ship and go to sea, and go to the old port to contact your Uncle Liang first, and let him find ways to collect grain and kapok to ensure the delivery of the next wave of goods. Then you stay in the old port, once the artillery is in hand, your fourth uncle will immediately take the fleet to the old port to meet you, and then you call all the people who can be called in the old port, follow him to attack Bo Ni, and first take advantage of the non-stop war between the three Buddhas and the Majapahit, and take the island to our Shen family in its entirety. (Note 1)

"Attacking Bo Ni, what's the use of getting that broken island, except for the uncivilized natives and wood, almost nothing is produced, which is like directly fighting Coconut City." Shen Mao was taken aback when he heard this, and asked with round eyes, (Note 2)

Since he was a teenager, he has followed his father Shen Fu to do business together, inheriting family learning, in the past two years, Shen Fu is ready to hand over the shift, but also to take it with him at any time, teaching him every day, so Shen Mao's skills have long been out of the blue, as soon as he heard the word Bo Ni, he knew that this transaction did not make any money at all.

The Nanyang Islands are rich in spices, tin ore, colored corals and all kinds of precious stones, and most of the Shen family's fleets that are transported back and forth every year are concentrated in these few items, and the towering trees in the rainforest are not cared for at all because they are quite laborious to cut down and take up too much space when transporting.

This time, Shen Fu risked his life to buy cannons, and instead of directly attacking Coconut City with Liang, Chen, Shi and other sea bandits, and forcing Manchu Boyi to pay money to atone for his crimes, he ran to occupy Bomud Island, where birds don't.

"You know, just do as your father says." Shen Fu glared at his son fiercely, his voice was fierce, and there was no successor, this was his biggest heart problem at the moment, whether it was the fourth brother Zhonghua, or the two sons A Mao and A Fu, they were not long-term people, especially the eldest son in front of him, not only short-sighted, but also very bold, and the artillery had not yet arrived, and he had already started the idea of the largest city in other countries.

It's a pity that he only saw that under the banner of the Three Buddhas and the Sailors, the soldiers were approaching the coconut city, and they could extort a huge amount of gold and silver, but he didn't see that if there was no territory of his own, where would the Shen family be in the future.

Note 1: Shen Wansan has a younger brother Shen Gui, whose name is Zhonghua, nicknamed Wansi, and his two sons are Shen Mao and Shen Wang.

Note 2: Bo Ni, which is now Kalimantan, the third largest island in the world, most of the whole island is still covered by rainforests, rich in timber, Coconut City, that is, now Jakarta, in the middle of the 14th century, the Nanyang Islands were basically divided by two major powers, Sriwijaya and Majapahit, and the two fought endlessly, and many maritime powers from China were involved in this battle.
