198, bad omen (on the shelf, on the shelf!) Ask for a commuter pass! )
Zhou Quan, of course, is on the East China Sea A.
On the way back to Haizhou from Wuqing, Donghaijia turned to Tamna, because of the northwest wind, the time spent was only eight days.
In terms of navigation technology at this time, this is already very good, and when the improved Haizhou ship comes out, the speed will be faster and the time will be shorter, and it may take three days to reach Tamna from Haizhou.
"Yanai, we're ready to land!"
The captain of the East China Sea A is Ping Xin, among all the captains who made Zhou Quan, he is the most willing to accept new things, and also has very good sailing skills, especially at sea to the change of weather, has a keen intuition, so after the creation of the East China Sea A, he became the first captain.
"Well, there's not much movement on the shore, is there?" Zhou Quan asked calmly.
Pingxin narrowed his eyes, looked to the shore, and then looked up at the lookout hand on the mast, where the flag was still business as usual.
"Normally, at this time, the sailors of Tamna should also come over, although they only have a few small wrecked ships, and they can only go around the coast."
"But they didn't come today." Zhou Quan said casually.
"Come on, come on, a small boat of the Tamna people over there......"
While they were talking, a small boat of the Tamnaites came towards them, but it circled them far away, and then went back again.
As if he recognized them, he ignored them as usual.
On the shore, Lu Jinyi held his breath for a while, watching the Tamna boat go around the Donghae Jia, and found that Donghaijia was still slowing down the sails, and he was relieved that he didn't find any accidents.
"You didn't notice anything unusual, did you?" He muttered to himself.
"No, it seems that Zhou Quan learned that his eldest brother took Tamna Island, so he sent a fast boat as a gift." Yu Yang said with a grin.
Everyone laughed, but Li Qing stared at the East China Sea A ship, and then he exclaimed: "Zhou Quan is on the boat!" ”
The laughter stopped abruptly.
For these people who have fought directly or indirectly with Zhou Quan, it is one thing to ridicule Zhou Quan behind their backs, and it is another thing for Zhou Quan to really appear in front of them.
"Are you sure, did you see that?" Lu Jinyi's breathing also stopped, and then asked.
"Exactly, look at the flag hanging on the sail, it is the five-star flag, I heard that it is from the historical records, saying that 'the five-star out of the East is beneficial to China', Zhou Quan took this flag as his own flag, and the five-star flag was hung on the ship, which proved that he was also on the ship!"
Li Qing's explanation made Lu Jinyi surprised.
Wealth does not return to the hometown, like a brocade at night. Even more so than to show off in front of the enemy! Lu Jinyi took Tamluo, although there was still some resistance, but he felt that the foundation had been completed, after all, it was a land of thousands of miles, a population of more than 100,000, and it was equivalent to a state and a government in the Great Song Dynasty.
Under this kind of pride, of course, he hoped that the old enemy Zhou Quan could see it, and he was afraid and in awe of his current strength.
"Okay, good, it's just in time, it saves us a lot of trouble to be able to solve him here, and, everyone, it's rare for Zhou Quan to send it to the door, this is the God of Wealth here! Cement, snow sugar, bicycles, this will all be ours, by the way, and looms, those powerful and rich people spent hundreds of thousands of yuan to join his cotton Chamber of Commerce, we can get it without spending a penny! ”
Everyone was in high spirits, and the pressure that Zhou Quan had brought to them for a long time was suddenly relieved.
"Take your place and get ready to welcome the God of Wealth!" Lu Jinyi took the hot iron and said to everyone.
On the East China Sea A, Zhou Quan couldn't wait to land.
Tamna Island was an important part of all his plans, and if it was built by clippers, it would take only one day to go to Goryeo, only two days to Japan, three days to the Great Song Dynasty, and a little further to Liao, but it would be a four- to five-day voyage. It can be said that if he controls here, he will control the entire East China Sea.
Based on this, his next goal, in addition to dumping commercial goods to Japan and Goryeo, was to the south and develop the flow of this time, that is, the Taiwan of the other world. He remembers that there were also large gold deposits near Keelung in northern Taiwan, which for a long time were known as the largest in Asia.
When he has enough gold reserves and enough commodity goods, he can have the right to mint money and establish the economic order of the East Asian countries by minting money.
"Yanei, look, there are many boats there, many of them are Song boats!" Ping Xin suddenly pointed to the port and shouted.
Zhou Quan looked over there and saw a mast, at least a dozen Song State ships, anchored in the harbor, crowding the small Tamna Port.
Some of them are even larger than the Tokai armor.
In Tamluo Harbor, Yan Xiaoyi suddenly paused: "No, those boats, those boats we took!" ”
Lu Jinyi Huo Ran was shocked to find that the more than ten ships they had taken, plus the Japanese ships, were all gathered in the harbor sea. The sea is endless and unsheltered, so these ships will definitely be seen by the sailors on the armor of the East China Sea!
Although Tamna is located in the East China Sea, in the past, a large number of merchant ships gathered only during the typhoon season to avoid the wind, and even if they appeared, the number was only five or six, and it can be said that it is very rare to have more than ten ships like this.
"What should I do?" Yan Xiaoyi asked.
"What should I do?" Lu Jinyi looked at Yu Yang.
Yu Yang tugged at a few of his rat whiskers, and after a while, he reluctantly smiled: "Brother Lu, we can only make two preparations, if this East China Sea A is vigilant and stays away from this island, then everything will be over, but we have nothing to lose, and we are not going to fight Zhou Quan here!" ”
"If Zhou Quan is only suspicious, but still goes ashore, then we have to do something like it, in my opinion, or ask Brother Li to think of a way, let's ambush the elite somewhere, Brother Li invited Zhou Quan here, even if Zhou Quan has dozens of guards around him, we can capture him under the ambush of soldiers."
Li Qing had already arrived at the dock, and Lu Jinyi thought about it, but he could only do so, so he sent someone to inform him immediately.
Looking at the Donghai Jia, which was getting slower and slower, Lu Jinyi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he had a feeling of handing over his fate to his opponent, and it seemed that the hope of success depended entirely on the opponent's stupidity.
"I hope he'll be stupid......"
Fortunately, there was no sign of turning around, and after another quarter of an hour or so, the ship finally entered the port, and at this time, it was too late to leave.
There was a smile on everyone's faces.
Lu Jinyi couldn't help but reverie, if he controlled Zhou Quan, what kind of situation would he have!
Even if Zhou Quan is cast of iron and steel, he is confident that he can pull out the secrets of snow sugar, cement and looms from his mouth, by the way, there are bicycles, and maybe something else, just like the current Haizhou boat, Zhou Quan has too many things hidden in his heart.
"Send someone again and tell Li Qing that you must be cautious, I want to live Zhou Quan!" He said softly.
As if he was afraid that Zhou Quan would hear it, even if Zhou Quan was actually hundreds of feet away from him.
Wuqing of Liaoguo, Yu Liyan, who was in front of the dressing mirror, was originally looking at himself with a smile, but suddenly heard a scream outside.
She was shocked, her original good mood was gone, and she quickly ran out and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I accidentally broke His Highness's glassware......"
Her handmaidens fell on their knees before her with weeping.
There were six glass tea sets, one large and five small, each of which looked like the most beautiful crystal. This is also a gift from Zhou Quan, among all the gifts, second only to the dressing mirror and those new clothes, these days she **** plays, drinks water and mare's milk, all of which are used in these cups.
Hearing that the handmaiden cracked the cup that Zhou Quan gave her, Yu Liyan's brows furrowed, and the handmaid peeked at it and trembled with fright.
But unexpectedly, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who has been grumpy recently, did not get angry.
"It's cracked, it's cracked, I still have five of them anyway...... Wait a minute, the one you cracked was the big one? ”
"Yes...... Be! ”
Yu Liyan still remembers that when Zhou Quan gave her this set of pots and cups, he once jokingly said that men are big pots and women are water cups, and since ancient times, they have been a big pot with multiple cups, so the man has three wives and four concubines, which is in line with the principle of heaven and earth.
At that time, Yu Liyan's response was a slap: "According to this reason, why can't women be big pots and men be water cups." ”
At this time, the big pot was cracked.
Yu Liyan's heart suddenly tightened, and an ominous premonition floated, making her feel tightness in her chest and panic.
She didn't bother to reprimand the maid, and stared out of the house.
Her house was facing the sea, and outside the house was the waves, and just a few days ago, Zhou Quan had said goodbye to her here and sailed away.
The sea is sinister, he ...... There won't be any accidents, right?
Almost at the same time, among the Jingshi, the little lady of the teacher thanked a woman in a soft voice: "Thank you, Sister Lian!" ”
"Why thank me, it's your own ingenuity, and I don't know which Langjun will be in the future, and I will have this blessing to marry a girl as ingenious as you!"
The woman who spoke was very delicate, and the characteristics of a Jiangnan girl made her even more pitiful, but if Zhou Quan saw her, she would definitely be vigilant.
A-mercy.
At the beginning, the famous kabuki in Pengcheng was raised by the Xiang family on the surface, but in fact, the roots were very deep, and even Zhou Quan never found out her true background.
It's just that now she has washed away the lead, like a woman from a good family, with low eyebrows and drooping eyelids, but she is extremely gentle.
"Where can I compare to Lotus Thank you, Sister Lian is born with Hui quality, this cotton cloth is rising, Sister Lian will cut, make such good clothes, and sweaters, I just started a start, Sister Lian has only learned from me for two days, and the knitted sweater is more than ten times better than mine!" The teacher was slightly shy, thinking of Zhou Quan in his heart.
Ah Lian pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes flashing: "You want to go back?" ”
"Yes, it's not early, so I won't bother my sister!"
"Don't bother at all, I helped Jingshi, I didn't make a few friends, the little lady of the teacher is willing to come to talk to me to relieve my boredom, I couldn't be happier!"
As the two said goodbye, the master stepped out the door, but the shoe tripped on the threshold, and then one of the ropes on the shoe broke.
When the teacher saw the broken rope, his heart jumped suddenly.
This style of shoes is made by her own hands, and she makes two pairs each time, one for herself and one for Zhou Quan. The rope, which she deliberately wore in the style of a concentric cord, secretly conveyed some kind of careful thinking about her.
But now, the rope of the concentric cord is broken! (To be continued.) )
