Chapter Twenty-Three: Flickering, Then Flickering (Part II)

Wu Yinglin said, "Dare to ask Brother Taigui's surname!" ”

Niu Wazi said, "My surname is Chen, my name is Chen Da Niu, and everyone else calls me Ah Niu." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Wu Yinglin thought for a while and asked, "Brother Chen, I heard you say before that you want to go to Australia to buy land, herd cattle and sheep, and be the local owner yourself!" Dare to ask Brother Tai where he got the news from Australia! “

Chen Daniu pouted and said, "Now who in Fujian doesn't know about Australia." Let me tell you, a fellow of mine heard the news from Australia at the beginning, and ran over with all his savings to circle a large piece of land, at least 600 acres. Now they have thousands of sheep and 200 cows. Half a year ago, the fellows came back. Good guys, they are all married to three wives and have two babies. I was envious of me, he specially instructed me to go to Australia as soon as possible, he said that there are too many people who want to buy now, and I don't have to buy it if I go late. ”

He took the last bite of the dish, touched his bulging stomach and sighed and said, "At the beginning, Lao Tzu just didn't listen to others and missed the opportunity to buy land in Nanyang, and now the fertile land over there has risen to one or two silver and an acre of land, and he can't buy a few acres of land, and now Lao Tzu can no longer miss the opportunity in Australia!" ”

After speaking, Chen Daniu hurried out, looking anxious.

Wu Yinglin looked at Fang Yichen and said, "Uncle Fang, how credible do you think it is?" ”

Fang Yichen shook his head and said, "There is too little information about Australia, so it's hard to judge." Shizi, seeing is believing, everything will be clear when you arrive in Australia. ”

Wu Yinglin nodded.

The food on the table was given to Chen Da Niuhai to eat, and the leftovers were cold, Wu Yinglin had no appetite when he looked at it, so he hurriedly asked the guys to clean it up and put it on the table again.

When the new dishes came up, Wu Yinglin and his party ate some casually and checked out and left.

At the port of Quanzhou, Wu Yinglin was shocked.

The port is lively and prosperous with foreigners of different colors, speaking different languages, and conducting cross-border trade.

The teahouse at the entrance of the street is full of flags, the cars are crowded with shops, and the sound of abacus is full of ears.

The port is lined with thousands of sails, and cargo ships, passenger ships, ferries, and tractors are lined up along the river.

Sailboats carrying and unloading goods from all over the world sail through the water.

There are as many as 10,000 shipwrights on the port, and they don't know how to load and transport goods.

Looking at the sweaty boatman, Wu Yinglin turned his head to Yichen and said, "Uncle Fang, I heard that there is a base for the Zheng family sailor in Quanzhou, and the little nephew wants to go and see the appearance of the Zheng family's sailor, who is famous for starting from the sea!" ”

Fang Yichen said, "The military center has always been very strictly guarded, and with Zheng Chenggong's reputation for good management of the army, I am afraid that the prince will not be able to get close." ”

Wu Yinglin explained: "The little nephew didn't want to get closer, he just wanted to see the Zheng family's warship from afar!" ”

If you look at it from a distance, there should be no problem.

After asking some passers-by, Wu Yinglin and several people found his sister-in-law's tower.

The sister-in-law tower is the navigation beacon for ships entering and exiting Quanzhou Port, and it was built in the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The sister-in-law tower is built on Baogai Mountain, which is backed by Quanzhou Bay and faces the Taiwan Strait.

On the top of the mountain, the sister-in-law tower is independent in the sky, towering and upright. Ascending to the distance, Quannan shape wins, sea and sky scenery, all in sight.

Therefore, the sister-in-law tower is also called the "lock tower".

There are a lot of people who come to the tower to watch the scenery, and Wu Yinglin does not look abrupt.

Standing on the highest five floors, Wu Yinglin looked far away.

Seeing that several warships were moored in Quanzhou Military Port, Wu Yinglin was shocked again.

Wu Yinglin had also seen ships in the north, so he should not be surprised by the warships.

But Wu Yinglin now sees that it is the warship of the Zheng family's sailors across the sea.

The huge volume of tens of thousands of stones was too big for Wu Yinglin, who had only seen four or five thousand stones, and it was incredible.

How was such a large ship built, and how much wood was needed.

And that's not all, those gun ports on its hull, how many guns do you have to load?

It can be dismantled from the ship, even if it can't be used in the field, it is always possible to defend the city!

Wu Yinglin really looked at it more and more frightened, the more he watched, the more frustrated he became, and the more he watched it, the more he dared not look at it.

For Zheng Jiajun, Wu Yinglin can be said to have no confidence at all.

Not only Wu Yinglin, but others including Fang Yichen were shocked.

The group silently walked down the tower, and Lin Kun, the leader of the guards, asked, "Shizi, do we still need to go to the open sea to see Australia?" With the power of Zheng Jiajun's artillery, what can be resisted! ”

Lin Kun's meaning is very clear, that is, no matter what Australia is!

None of us had a choice.

Wu Yinglin was silent for a while and said, "Being a man must have a beginning and an end, and if you go to Australia to see it, you can also convince those generals when you go back." ”

Fang Yichen also agreed, "I agree with the opinion of the prince, it seems that we were all frogs at the bottom of the well before, and we listened to the description of Australia by those people." I'm also curious about the world overseas, and I want to take the opportunity to go to sea to see it. ”

Wu Yinglin and Fang Yichen both agreed to continue to go to sea, and Lin Kun could not oppose it at all.

When Wu Yinglin and the others just walked to the port, three or four people immediately surrounded them and shouted loudly, "Childe, childe, do you want to go to Australia?" Come on my boat, my boat is fast and safe. ”

"Childe, take my boat. My boat is big, sit firmly, resist the wind and waves, and keep you safe. ”

"Childe, my ship has been to Australia more than a dozen times. I am familiar with the road, take my boat, and I will ensure your satisfaction! ‘

……

Wu Yinglin was stunned, how did they know that we were going to Australia, and did our identity be revealed?

Fang Yichen is still old and knowledgeable, and hurriedly said: "It seems that there are a lot of people going to Australia during this time!" What is the price of going to Australia now? ”

A captain hurriedly said, "This gentleman, three taels of silver per person, and the food is calculated separately!" ”

Fang Yichen said, "It's so expensive! ”

"It's not expensive, sir. You must know that the road to Australia is not short, and it will take ten days to smooth sailing. And this goes to the deep sea, not all ships can go, you must need a big sea ship like us! ”

Another captain also helped, "Yes, sir, the price of that timber has been rising vigorously in recent years, and it is not cheap to build a big ship now." Naturally, the price of this ticket also went up. ”

"It's still three taels this year, and I don't know how much it will rise next year, if Mr. wants to go to Australia to buy land, it's better to buy it as soon as possible!"

"Yes, there are more and more people going to Australia, and after a while, I'm afraid that even if you want to go, you may not be able to buy a ticket!"

Fang Yichen said with a smile, "It seems that Australia is very good, and everyone is vying to go!" ”

"Yes, this gentleman, you have never been to Australia, after I sent someone over, I was also curious to set foot in Australia, a good place. The endless steppe, than, that place in the north, oh Mongolia, no worse than Mongolia. ”

"Yes, the environment there, peck, people don't want to come back when they go!"

……

Fang Yichen said suspiciously: "Since it is so good there, why didn't you go there to buy land!" ”

"Who said I didn't buy it, I don't know about the others, I just bought 800 acres there, and waited for the old age to settle there in my old age."

"I also bought 500 acres!"

"I spent a lot of money to buy a boat, and I was shy in my pocket, so I only bought 300 acres."

Hearing that these captains had bought land there, Fang Yichen somewhat believed that Australia was really good. Otherwise, these captains would not have bought the land.

In order to find out more information, Wu Yinglin and his entourage took the captain's boat, which was the most enthusiastic and conversational.

……

Looking at the distant ship with his glasses, Zheng Tai turned his head to Chen Da Niu and drank, "You stupid cow, you can't act, you almost gave a bad thing." Fortunately, the people from the National Bureau of Investigation conspired against one of the guards, otherwise there would be no way to fool Fang Yichen's old fox. ”

Chen Daniu lowered his head and didn't dare to retort, but kept complaining in his heart: I said that I wouldn't deceive people, it was you who said that I looked honest, and I was the easiest to deceive people, so I was forced to deceive people, and now I came to complain again!

Zheng Tai said to the other person, "Is Australia ready?" ”

The man replied, "Don't worry, my lord, everything is ready." will definitely be able to fool Wu Yinglin and them. ”

"That's good!" (To be continued.) )
