Meiwan and Liuao Qianhu are in Zhangpu County, and the Zaixing smuggling and selling goods is right under the nose of Qianhusuo. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAccording to the rules of Daming's coastal defense, these thousands of households can attack Xiao Xiangui at any time.

Liu Huadian thought for a while and said, "How about we send someone to bribe these thousand households?" ”

Xiao Xiangui frowned and said: "These thousands of households are blocking us in various harbors, if we rush to the door, maybe we will be arrested by him!" The silver was confiscated. If an acquaintance recommends him and says something nice, he can give him silver. ”

Liu Huadian asked, "What should I do then?" His patrol boats are outside the harbors, and we can't beat the ships of the Thousand Households. Will not our ships enter the harbor? ”

Xiao Xiangui took a breath and did not speak.

Li Tu looked at the patrol boat, thought for a while, and said to Xiao Xiangui: "Although the Zaixing cannot enter the port, we must first unload the goods and hand them over to the nest owner for sale." ”

After these few incidents, Xiao Xiangui felt more and more that Li Tu was unusual and worthy of dependence. At this time, Xiao Xiangui was overjoyed when he heard Li Tu speak, and asked Li Tu with a smile: "What the head shop said is extremely true. The chief shop officer is a local, is there a way? ”

Li Tu looked at the patrol boat in front of him and said, "I'll take eight eyes ashore and get a fishing boat to transport goods." ”

When Xiao Xiangui heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "Good way! The head shop really has a way! ”

When the other crew members heard Li Tu's words, their eyes also lit up.

Looking at Li Tu, Xiao Xiangui said again: "Now that you are the head shop, the eight eyes are naturally sent by you." But since you want to transport the goods to the nest owner, then let Manager Xue go with you. It's safer for the two of you to discuss things. I will give you two hundred taels of silver to rent a boat and other expenses. ”

Li Tu nodded, clasped his fists and said to Xue Yiming: "There is Chief Lao Xue!" ”

Xue Yiming said with a smile: "It's all within the scope of the matter. This time, Brother Li is still in front of the command, and the old man is in the back! ”

Li Tu nodded, and then went to the boat to hand in the eight eyes, plus the chief manager Xue Yiming, to form a team of ten people. Li Tu led the team, and everyone rowed two small sampans to the shore.

Seeing that the two small sampans crossed the sea, the patrol boats of the Thousand Households Institute did not stop them, and let Li Tu and others pass through.

#####

Landing in a secluded harbor and hiding the sampan boat in the shadows, Li Tu led the group to Qianting Town.

I haven't seen him for a year, and Qianting Town is still the same. Li Tu and his entourage walked to the market at the entrance of the town, and immediately caused a sensation.

Compared with the poor tenant farmers or small traders, the income of the sailors who run the sea is relatively high. Reflected in the clothes, shoes and socks, the crew's clothes, the clothing is obviously more high-end.

The eyes were paid dozens of taels a year, and after defeating Chen Shengning's three small boats last year, they also got a reward of twenty taels of silver, and they had plenty of money, and most of them made a few sets of new clothes when they were in Japan, and they were wearing new clothes at this time. Like Li Tu, what he was wearing at this time was a set of Yunjin straight out. Another example is Xue Yiming, the chief manager, who is wearing a set of silk deep clothes.

For the crew, a couple of new outfits are nothing. But for the small-town vendors who make some hard-earned money, all dressed in white-washed, patched old clothes, it's decently dressed. Looking at the nine well-dressed strong men who followed Li Tu into Qianting Town, all the vendors widened their eyes and didn't believe it.

Li Tu, who was almost bankrupt a year ago, is now so promising, and has returned to his hometown with nine subordinates. Li Tu led the crowd through the bazaar, and the pedestrians and vendors on the road hurriedly made way for this group of strong people:

"The Li nerd who went to sea is back!"

"It's really out of luck, and you still have nine subordinates?"

"Look at those strong men, all of them are good hands! These are all strongmen on the ship? ”

The people of Zhangzhou take the sea as their field, and there are many people who go to sea. The Li family did not hide the matter of Li Tu's going to sea, so everyone in the town knew about it. However, these people don't understand how the originally stupid Li Tu can be so profound. People are talking a lot, I don't know what Li Tu has done this year, and he has such a pomp today.

Cao San, a vegetable vendor, was still selling vegetables in the corner of the market, and when he saw Li Tu coming home with this pomp, Cao San was so shocked that he couldn't react for a long time. Li Tu, who was still in debt last year, paid off the danger, and almost went bankrupt, got ahead this year and returned to the countryside with his subordinates?

It's like a high school student who failed the exam last semester and was the last in the class, and this semester suddenly took the first place in the whole year.

But who is Cao San? When Cao San came back to his senses, he immediately left the vegetable stall and ran towards the courtyard of the Li family. While running, he also yelled:

"Zheng Yongniang, your son has made a lot of money and is back!"

"Li Tong, Li Tong, come and see! Your brother is back making a lot of money! ”

Hearing Cao San's call, Li Tu's mother, Zheng, hurriedly threw down the loom and walked out of the house. Seeing Li Tu walking into the courtyard with nine crew members, Zheng's eyes turned red with excitement, and he ran up and grabbed Li Tu's shoulder and said, "Tu'er, you're back!" ”

Li Tu nodded and asked with a smile, "How is my mother at home this year?" ”

Zheng replied: "Okay, all right, after you leave, your brother and I will take care of the fields and weave cloth and sell it for money in our spare time." Last year, the year was good, and sixteen stone of grain was harvested in the field. I kept four stones for two people's rations, and sold the rest to Dong Lao'er, a rice seller in the town, for ten taels of silver. Tian Fu and the conscription money paid a total of three taels or four dollars, and there were more than six taels left, and I sold the cloth for another two taels. . . ”

Seeing Li Tu, the pillar of the family, go home, Zheng was excited. There is little land at home, and Li Tu went to sea for the livelihood of his family, Zheng felt sorry for Li Tu in his heart, and unconsciously calculated the account for Li Tu at this time. The chatter caused a burst of laughter from the crew.

Ignoring the laughter of the crew, Zheng grabbed Li Tu's hand and said, "I saved all this silver for your daughter-in-law!" ”

Hearing Zheng's words, Li Tu was moved in his heart. Although he is a traverser, in the face of such a mother, he can't help but give birth to a kind of kindness.

Li Tu smiled and said to Zheng: "Mother! I have made money out there now, and I am not short of silver! I have the money for my wife's wife! ”

Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Li Tu. Only then did he notice that Li Tu was wearing a cloud brocade straight away, Zheng touched it with his hand, and said, "My son is wearing satin clothes!" ”

Li Tu reached into his arms with his left hand, touched it casually, and took out a silver ingot of twenty taels like a trick, and said to Zheng with a smile: "Mother, look, silver." ”

Li Tu put his right hand into his arms again, took out an ingot of twenty taels of silver, and said, "Mother, look, it's silver again!" ”

Zheng Shi was surprised when he saw the silver in Li Tu's hand, and only muttered, "Why did my son earn so much silver?" Could it be borrowed again? ”

Li Tu stuffed forty taels of silver into Zheng's hand, and said with a smile: "Mother! It was not borrowed, but earned by the son himself. The forty taels borrowed last year have already been repaid by my son. My son can earn money now, and I want you and Lee to pass a good life! In the future, you and Li Tong don't live so frugally, buy more vegetables and meat to eat on weekdays, and make a few more sets of new clothes. The forty taels will be used to renovate and expand the house at home. In the future, Li Tong will marry someone, and the house at home will be repaired better, and the woman will also look up to us! ”
