When Xu Yuanzuo and his entourage set off from the county town, there was an extra car behind them, which was purely the servant and healthy woman of the Xu family, as well as all kinds of utensils that might be used on the road, from adding a change of clothes, to basins and toilets.

It's a short journey, and if it's a long trip, you don't know what the scale it will be. In contrast, Xu He and his party really traveled lightly.

Many people think that Shanghai was a small fishing village during the Ming Dynasty. It may be that it is not developed enough compared to Huating, but the sea trade here has formed a climate, built a city wall, and basically laid the scale of the urban area of Shanghai in later generations. As for the famous City God Temple and Yu Garden, they have also become small commodity markets - mainly because Yu Garden has been under construction for ten years and has not yet been completed.

Xu Yuanzuo could not correspond the Shanghai at this time with the Shanghai of later generations, but referring to the location of the Yu Garden and the Confucian Temple, Kang Peng's ancestral home should be in the area of the old West Gate in the future.

"It seems to be the location of the White Cloud Temple......" Xu Yuanzuo looked at the vermilion gate and muttered.

"What a magnificent gate!" Xu Liangzuo pulled Xu Yuanzuo excitedly and said, "It looks more magnificent than Xu Ge's old mansion!" ”

Mother Xu happened to get out of the car and hurriedly grabbed Xu Liangzuo.

Xu Yuanzuo knew that Xu Jie was a person who paid a lot of attention to Tao Hui, and he would never show his strength on his face, otherwise how could he fight with the Yan family's father and son. However, Xu Liangzuo's exclamation is also reasonable, the Kang family is really a little too sassy.

The vermilion gate, the golden door nails, the drum stone carved with the lion is used as the door, and there are six hexagonal pairs protruding one foot. Xu Yuanzuo felt that he had never seen the world, and only looked at the prospect, but seemed to be standing at the door of the Qiguo Mansion.

After a while, the door opened, and Kang Pengzu came out and met Xu's mother with a nephew courtesy. Welcome Xu Yuanzuo and others in. Because of the female dependents, Kang Pengzu's mother received Xu's mother in the back house, accompanied by a group of sisters and sisters, and Xu Yuanzuo and Xu Liangzuo followed Kang Pengzu to the main hall to see Kang's father, and naturally they also had to carry out the son and nephew ceremony.

Father Kang is obviously a businessman, and he doesn't see the style of the army at all. Although he is still in the military, he is afraid that he has never even held a weapon. He was full of kindness, and kindly took care of Xu Yuanzuo and Liangzuo brothers, and asked Kang Pengzu to make proper arrangements to make the guests comfortable and at ease.

Because Xu Yuanzuo and Liangzuo were still young, they went to see Kang's mother with Kang Pengzu, and finally came out with their mother and lived in another hospital.

"It's a pity that my eldest sister has already decided on a family, otherwise our two families may still be able to get married." Kang Pengzu waited for Xu Yuanzuo to come out by himself. The two sat in the side hall and drank.

Just like the habit of Shilin at that time, Kang Pengzu called his concubine out to accompany the wine, and etiquette was a good standard for the whole family.

Xu Yuanzuo took a sip of wine lightly and said casually: "It's a pity." ”

Kang Pengzu paused and said, "I told my father about joining the army last time you told me. ”

Xu Yuanzuo was excited: "Oh? What does Ling Zun think? ”

"To tell you the truth," said Kang Pengzu, "my father thinks. If you want to join the army, you must be in a high position. ”

Xu Yuanzuo nodded: "That's nature." How can you be a pawn who goes into battle to kill the enemy. ”

"But even if my family is exhausted, at most it will have to be a hundred households, and now there is no military merit to be made in the southeast, so it is not counted." Kang Peng Zu Dao.

Xu Yuanzuo groaned slightly and said, "If it's an acting position, then it's not very necessary." At the very least, there must be a bunker by the sea. Otherwise, if you don't have a boatman in your hand, you'll waste this great coast. ”

Kang Pengzu was slightly surprised: "Boat Master? ”

Xu Yuanzuo was also taken aback: "Didn't I say it last time?" ”

Last time, everyone drank too much, who remembers it so clearly? However, Kang Pengzu waved away his two concubines and poured wine for Xu Yuanzuo in person: "Yuanzuo wants to go to Japan, right?" ”

Although Emperor Longqing abolished the sea ban and allowed trade between the East and the West. However, the "Oriental" here does not exceed Taiwan, and the trade with Wajima is still banned. In addition to the sake of the Japanese Invaders, but also because Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang hated the Japanese people very much, and it was a royal tradition to oppose Japan, so even if Emperor Longqing opened up the sea trade, he still imposed economic sanctions and blockade on Japan.

"More than that." Xu Yuanzuo said: "If the boat can afford it, I still want to go to Taixi." ”

Kang Pengzu was joking when Xu Yuanzuo was joking, and said: "Oriental trade is indeed very profitable, and you can get ten times the profit in a year. To tell you the truth, my family actually had some trade with those Oriental maritime merchants. ”

The maritime merchants were only responsible for transporting the goods of the Ming Dynasty from the port to Japan, and as for the domestic collection of goods and the resale of goods, it was all the work of the large coastal merchants.

The Kang family is in charge of the Nanhuizui Thousand Households, and there is also a commander of Jin Shanwei, which not only involves shipping, but also charges an additional protection fee.

"After Wang Zhi's disciples are ambushed, who has the final say in the East China Sea?" In Xu Yuanzuo's knowledge structure, it is still twenty years before Yan Siqi and Li Dan were born, and Wang Zhi and other older generation of pirates are no longer silent, and the East China Sea presents a huge power vacuum.

"Now they are all scattered small maritime merchants, and the sea thieves have all gone to the South Seas." Kang Pengzu said: "Zeng Yiyi and Lin Daoqian are all active in Fujian and Guangdong, and there are really few people in Japan. ”

Xu Yuanzuo bowed slightly, took a chopstick dish, and chewed slowly.

Kang Pengzu said again: "I think you also know that the Xu family is a higher level. He pointed his finger to the sky and said, "My family bought commercial goods from the Xu family and other merchants, sold them to Haike, and Haike sold them to Japan. The goods bought from Japan are then distributed by my family. The chain is already so strong that it will be difficult to join even one or two ships. ”

"Can't squeeze in one or two boats?" Xu Yuanzuo was stunned.

"It's okay for Daming to say here, it's easy to say that when you meet Haikou at sea, you rely on the sword to speak. It's difficult on the Japanese side, the goods are limited, you have one more ship here, and there will be one less ship on the other side. Kang Pengzu said.

Xu Yuanzuo didn't believe that the Japanese side would be so nervous, so he just nodded and said: "I really don't care about the sale of one ship and two ships." He saw Kang Pengzu's face surprised: "The three of us have formed an alliance, what we want to do is to establish a major event for the people, how can we make some money for the flies and dogs!" ”

Kang Pengzu put down his chopsticks and said: "It's Peng Zu's vision is small, and he is willing to listen to Jun Gao's opinion." ”

Xu Yuanzuo said: "It's not a high theory, it's just an idea, but it's a pity that there is still a lack of heat." ”

"We have to say it, so that we can add firewood to it." Kang Peng Zu Dao.

"Open the port!" Xu Yuanzuo said: "Opening a private port, transshipment of east and west, and communication between north and south is the great benefit." ”

Can opening a foreign trade company be better than opening customs?

Kang Pengzu was really a little frightened, and said, "This is much more than the crime of colluding with the Japanese invaders." ”

"But in terms of punishment, it's all the same." Xu Yuanzuo smiled: "The same beheading." (To be continued......)
