Chapter 349: Returning with a full load

The land of Fusang in the east mentioned by Yang Zhi was in the era of melee when there were many large and small countries. It was common for Japanese people to cross the sea in groups, burning, killing and looting along the southeast coasts of Northern Yan, Goryeo, and Bactria in large groups. To this day, the fleet under the command of Xiong Zhan on the islands off the coast of Shandong, and the fleet commanded by Li Zhao of Yizhou, often encounter battles with the Japanese people at sea. Because of the strict orders of Yang Zhi and Linglong couple, the Japanese are foreign enemies of foreign races, but if they dare to invade, they must be ruthless. And the cruelty and ferocity of the Japanese people, many subordinates have long been taught. It was to kill them and rob it, how happy was that? I'm afraid that even pre-war mobilization was saved.

When the money is urgent, just do it. Yang Li Zhao personally led a fleet of 2,000 men to the city, and the specific tactics explained could be described as simple and crude: there was no need to rush to land, first bombarded with cannons, and then bombarded again with heavy crossbows equipped with gunpowder. After landing on the shore, I saw that people first bombarded with firearms, shot with feather arrows, and finally stabbed with spears and slashed with knives! Then start grabbing. After grabbing a round, he sat back and waited for the Japanese to come and surrender. The condition for surrender is only four words, take money to buy life. I don't care how many people I kill, I just need silver!

Most of the backbone generals of the fleet were born pirates, and they were not soft-hearted, and they all knew that there was nothing polite to talk about with the Japanese people. But Yang Zhi's explanation still made their scalps tense when they heard it: How much hatred do you have with the Japanese people? Listen to what you mean, as long as you have no money in the future, you will go to grab a play like this? …… Is there a way to live?

Regarding the doubts of the soldiers, Yang Zhi's explanation is very refreshing: When did I say that I would leave a way for the Japanese people to live? You stupid turtles! Is it just staring at one place to rob? Don't know where to go next time? Go around the whole Dongying, it's enough for you to grab it for several years!

After returning home, Linglong said with a smile: "The husband treats the Japanese people so viciously, even Mr. Jiang is scared. Before, he was still muttering in front of me, if there is a shortage of silver, he will go to grab Dongying, if there is a shortage of ginseng. Wouldn't they go to rob Goryeo? ”

Yang Zhi smiled: "When you say that, you remind me." There are a lot of good things in Goryeo, too! What is ginseng? Let's grab the gold! ”

Linglong's mention of Goryeo was originally an unintentional remark. Hearing Yang Zhi say this, he couldn't help but smile and didn't say more.

For decades, Northern Yan was sandwiched between Turkic and Bactria Relying on spending money to buy peace has to continue to this day. Although Beiyan is not two strong neighbors, it still has the strength to bully Goryeo. Goryeo has been a gold-producing land since ancient times, and it has to pay a large amount of gold to Northern Yan every year as a tribute. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Beiyan to support it for that long. Linglong was born in the Northern Yan royal family, how could she not know?

Linglong and Yang Zhi have been married for many years, and they know that their man's words rarely fall short, and they can do what they say. Now it was not difficult for Yang Zhi to send a fleet to Goryeo to loot gold. Since he was targeted by Yang Zhi. It's only a matter of time before it is put into practice. …… But when the day comes, will the Koreans be able to cope with it? The life of my father and younger brother is only afraid that it will become more and more difficult!

She has already abandoned her family and country to marry the wife of the Yang family, and it is useless to worry about her homeland. Diverted the topic and said, "Husband, you said earlier that on the day the fleet went to sea, I took Ling'er and Long'er to see them off. Children are still young, what can they understand? I don't think I have to go, right? ”

Yang Zhi said softly: "The children are still young, but they will grow up one day. Now they are not sensible. Just take them to see it, you don't have to explain anything. Children don't need to understand. You just need to feel it. I believe that they will be more impressed than a simple and blunt preaching. ”

After hesitating for a moment, he gently persuaded: "There is another trivial matter, which I have been holding in my heart for a long time. After some consideration, it was considered inappropriate to prohibit it blatantly. It's up to you to do it slowly: that's what a group of subordinates call Long'er. Now as soon as everyone sees Long'er, they call themselves the young master from a distance of eight zhang, bow down and even kowtow and bow. How can this work? It's best to call Long'er by her name, take a step back and say that the young master will be at the top! ”

In this era, the inheritance of children is extremely important, in the minds of the vast majority of people. It is only natural for a son to inherit his father's business. Linglong also believes that it is natural for many subordinates to call their sons young masters. never thought that Yang Zhi would be troubled by this.

Hearing this, he suddenly trembled, and said sadly: "Why did the husband say this? The foundation of Shandong Waihai and Yizhou is the result of the hard work of you and me. Isn't Long'er the young master here? To this day, my children and I have not met my father-in-law, Yu'er and Yan'er, and Ling'er and Long'er have only heard that Chang'an has a home and two older brothers. We don't even know whether the gate of the Marquis of Chang'an Mansion is facing east or west. ”

"I know that Long'er is the third in the Yang family, and she is not a descendant. I have never had any extravagant hopes for the inheritance of the title in the future. But they are all your sons, and the palms and backs of your hands are full of meat! Husband, can you really be ruthless and not even leave a place for Long'er? ”

Yang Zhi heard Linglong's words, and the first reaction in his mind was a familiar battle for succession! In good conscience, he really hadn't thought about it before.

If people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world. Linglong has always been tenacious, cheerful and empathetic. These words must have been held in my heart for a long time, and I didn't think that I would touch her sore spot if I wasn't careful.

Linglong's idea is completely understandable. No matter how you look at it, it's the normal feeling of people who can't be broken.

Yang Zhi smiled bitterly with guilt: "Where is this!" We don't think the same thing. In my opinion, there is no distinction between wives and concubines and children. I can assure you that the day of our family reunion is not too far off. ”

"The high-ranking officials and dignitaries of Great Xia may be the supreme glory of infinite scenery in the eyes of others, but will I be rare? The so-called succession of knighthoods is a joke in my eyes. Since the day I stepped out of Xinyang, I have not changed my original intention. All efforts are for the sake of enjoying life and being auspicious! ”

"I don't want my children to follow this path like me, I want them to be able to choose the life they like according to their own wishes. As you said earlier, the child doesn't understand anything now. But to call it a young master is like kidnapping, and the burden of governing Yizhou is imposed on him! Over time, until the concept of deep bone marrow is formed. In the future, even if Long'er doesn't want to, does he still have a choice? Moreover, there is no difference between Yizhou and the islands off the coast of Shandong, it is by no means my Yang Zhi's private property, and it will always be the land of the Chinese Dynasty! All the descendants of Yan and Huang are the lords of Yizhou! ”

"I'm glad I'm still young. I can take on my responsibilities for a long time, and at the same time educate and guide the growth of my children! ”

Linglong asked suspiciously: "What does the husband mean that the children can do whatever they want to do in the future?" I think that at the beginning, you and I couldn't help ourselves. If it could come true, I would be glad for the children. ”

Yang Zhi nodded solemnly and said, "Of course! Why not? In the future, their own lives will be decided by themselves! ”

Yang Zhi and Linglong are husband and wife, and they have always been very affectionate, there is no need to act in front of her, and their words are indeed from the bottom of their hearts. However, the concept of inheritance has been deeply rooted for thousands of years, and even in the previous life, it is still popular, and it can never be changed by a few words. Linglong's statement to Yang Zhi is actually disagreeable, and what he is really interested in is his way of guiding children's education.

Doesn't Yang Zhi know this? But it can only be in vain.

In this era, he believes that it is not necessary for a son to inherit his father's business, which is indeed out of place. If you meet an old-fashioned and old-fashioned nerd, the comparison of the upper outline is more real, which can be extended to his vain attempt to challenge the "divine authority of the monarch and the unity of heaven and man" that has been inherited for thousands of years, which emperor can tolerate him? If the people of this era were to be instilled with a tune such as "freedom, equality, and the people are the masters of everything", even he would think that he was not lightly ill, and he was simply crazy.

Someone has to start everything, so it can be regarded as a sign of heart!

Yang Zhi originally planned to return to Jinling in mid-May, but was delayed because of the dispatch of a fleet to Dongying to loot. He really wanted to hear Li Zhao's report with his own ears, what kind of "grand occasion" it would be, and how much silver he could snatch back.

In the days of waiting in Anju Yizhou, idleness is also idleness. In addition to walking around the island and going to the barracks to "experience life" with a group of sergeants, most of the free time was to discuss with Jiang Chengbi the specific details of the establishment of Jinlilai Money Village.

According to Yang Zhi's intentions, 2 million taels of capital will be injected in the name of the Yizhou official within half a year. In the future, regardless of profit or loss, the Yizhou official must account for more than 50% of the shares to ensure an absolute controlling position. In addition, 30% of the shares will be transferred to subordinate generals. For the remaining shares, the people on the island who have deep pockets can voluntarily participate in the shares.

In fact, in the past few years, the shareholding composition of Jinlilai firm has been gradually expanded and transformed according to this idea. By tying up the vital interests of tens of thousands of subordinates in an all-round way, the centripetal force of such a force group will undoubtedly be more solid.

No one has ever doubted Yang Zhi's ability, especially the ability to make money. It is Yang Zhi's proposal, Jiang Chengbi is not difficult to understand, and it is easy to accept.

Because it was the first "trial robbery" with a clear goal, Li Zhao did not dare to fight. Less than a month after leaving the port with the fleet, he returned with a full load.

According to the time of Yang Zhi's round trip, Li Zhao should have led the fleet across the Osumi Islands and landed on the Kyushu Island in the east of Yizhou. When asked, it was not only as expected, but also almost circled around Kyushu Island.

Although Li Zhao is young, he is not a fledgling general. He didn't need Yang Zhi to tell him, where there were many people, he would rob it. Otherwise, after working for a long time, the few silver he robbed could not be worth the money for buying cannonballs, crossbow arrows and gunpowder, so where would he put his face when he came back?

Li Zhao brought back a total of more than 50,000 catties of silver and more than 1,000 catties of gold, equivalent to no less than 1.3 million taels of silver.

Yang Zhi was overjoyed, and ordered the officers and men of the fleet to be rewarded. Li Zhao asked admiringly: "Master Hou, how do you know that there is silver in that place in Dongying?" (To be continued.) )
