This Li Songren went to tea and cooled, it should be good to be able to get back the capital, but Sun Guozhen may not need to send so much, Chen Xin originally planned to send eight thousand taels, and the two of them would privately share the remaining ten thousand taels, and he would earn at least three or four thousand taels more. Who knew that this Song Wenxian actually wanted to send it all.

The promotion level of 18,000 taels, it is enough to give a gift of 3,500 taels to the cabinet scholars, if you just ask for a staff member or official position, how can you use so much silver, Qian Qianyi paid 20,000 to buy the champion, he is good, buy a shogunate 18,000.

Song Wenxian looked at Chen Xin's appearance, thinking that he suspected that he was going to swallow the money alone, and hurriedly explained: "I gave him this big gift, just to be able to pass near Dengzhou in the future, otherwise we will buy and load goods in Tianjin, in case it is intercepted, the loss will be great, and the brother himself is just a shogun, so he will approach the adults every day and open up the joints." It just so happens that Brother Chen is also here, or I will handle your official affairs together. ”

Chen Xin listened and didn't speak, buying in Tianjin, the goods are transported through the Grand Canal, along the way the banknote is six, plus freight, wages and resale profits, much more expensive than the place of origin, the best way is to buy goods directly from the south of the Yangtze River and go to Japan by sea, but there are many pirates in the Zhoushan Islands, the risk is not small, not a ship can do maritime trade in the south, they are now weak and weak, or make a little money in the north. In this case, he needs the convenience of these adults, but he still thinks that eighteen thousand taels is too expensive.

"Why did Zhao Dongjia cooperate with a few adults back then, it is said that the profit is so high, he only needs to send some silver to the water master's people, and he doesn't need to let a few adults come in and give up so many shares."

"Brother Chen, you don't know, that Zhao Dongjia was intercepted by the sailor in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, and killed many soldiers on the military ship, but the financial deputy on his ship was afraid of being affected, and betrayed the river bay where Zhao Dongjia stopped the ship to another group of thieves, and as a result, the only son of Zhao Dongjia was killed, and the goods were also robbed, and then Zhao Dangjia found someone to find Lord Zhong, saying that as long as he helped him eliminate the gang of thieves and get back the goods, he would help Lord Zhong and them make money. That's how it came about, Lord Zhong and Master Li didn't give a penny of silver, and the first capital was distributed from Zhao Dong's family. ”

Chen Xin heard it and knew that Zhao Dong's family had such a relationship with these adults, and Song Wenxian continued: "This is not enough, later Lord Zhong tasted the sweetness and felt that he was not at ease enough, so he brought the family members of Han Bin and Hei Pao to this Dengzhou City, Zhao Dang's family lives in Tianjin, and he also talked to me, only saying that he is old and wants to be born in peace, so it is good to let his family stay in Tianjin, anyway, the money earned is enough." ”

Chen Xin nodded, it seems that this bowl of rice is really not easy to eat, the family members of Hei Pao and others are still in the hands of others, and it turns out that the share of the concession is too large, and it is difficult for him to fight for it. Li Song turned out to be the silver for nothing, if he relied on himself, he wouldn't give him a penny, but he didn't know what kind of official Li Song would be in the end, in case he became a pavilion elder, a scholar or something, it would be easy to clean himself up when the time came, Chongzhen changed fifty as soon as he was a Guangge elder, and Chen Xin didn't know a few names at all. After weighing it, don't be too dark-hearted, it's good to be filial if you should be filial, but you have to get some interest if you spend the money.

He thought for a while, and said to Song Wenxian: "Mr. Song, that Governor Sun is new, and I don't know how much Master Li's share is, so don't let him think more about it." Besides, Lord Li has only been in office for more than a year, in case this Lord Sun is also more than a year, wouldn't he be panicked, but that Lord Zhong, he is familiar with the situation of maritime business, and he can't be deceived, so it's better to ......"

The bird boat passes through the Half Moon Bay, and goes to the water gate of the water city, Dengzhou water city is in the Wednesday, three zhang five feet high, one zhang and one foot thick, the bricks are wrapped in the Wanli period, the water city is near the sea in the north, the northwest crosses the mountain, the southeast is near the river, there is a gate in the north and south, and the water gate can go straight to the Liaohai Sea, and the later Kong Youde This group of traitors escaped from here, but now they are still drilling the old forest in Liaodong, and the boss in the future is endless.

There are several cannons on both sides of the city wall on both sides of the water gate, the west city wall winds up along the Danya Mountain, the top of the Danya Mountain stands the famous Penglai Pavilion, the Penglai Pavilion is located in the mountain and faces the sea, the momentum is magnificent, the scenery is excellent, it is one of the four famous buildings in ancient times, because the mirage often appears on the sea, it is called Penglai Wonderland, the legend of the eight immortals crossing the sea, Xu Fu Dongdu is here.

But Song Wenxian and Chen Xin have no time to appreciate, the two of them have their own thoughts, it is now the afternoon, Chen Xin and Song Wenxian are about to enter Dengzhou on a bird boat, and the first thing they want to find is Lord Zhongzhong of Dengzhou Haiphong.

"Brother Chen, where there is no military preparation road in the coastal area, and the coastal defense road is in charge of the military preparation, you will also seek him if you become an official in the future."

"Yes, thank you Brother Song for your advice, if this matter is successful, I will ask Brother Song for more things in the future."

"It doesn't matter." Song Wenxian's brows were still slightly furrowed, obviously still worried about having no support.

Soon the bird boat entered the water gate, one of which was a wide inner harbor, moored more than a dozen military ships, people came and went on the shore, pickers were like ants, surrounded by four city walls, and flags were flying. Chen Xin looked at the walking officers and soldiers on the shore, somewhat majestic, and their clothing and complexion were better than those of Jizhou and Tianjin.

"Brother Song, the soldiers in Dengzhou seem to be stronger than in Tianjin."

"Indeed, Dengzhou is adjacent to Liaodong in the north, from this to Lushun when the wind can be reached in one day, when Liaoshen fell, there were countless Han people in Liaodong who came to the sea, some did not have a boat, they built a raft or directly hugged the roots of the big wood to go to sea, many people died at sea, and there were many people who arrived, and there were many Liao people in Dengzhou, the Liao people were strong, the arm strength was outstanding, and there was a national hatred and family feud against Jiannu, and they were originally good soldiers. Look at Zhu Guobin on the boat, he came to the sea that day and was rescued by the big boss halfway. ”

"No wonder."

"Hey, Brother Chen, you may not know that Qi Shaobao (Qi Jiguang) is a native of Dengzhou, and he commanded the affairs of Dengzhou Wei in his early years, and later transferred to Zhejiang to prepare for the Japanese. If Qi Shaobao is still there now, how can Jiannu be allowed to jump off the beam. ”

"It turns out that Qi Shaobao is from Dengzhou." Chen Xin really admires Qi Jiguang, this person not only established the Qi family army that shocked the world, but also wrote books such as "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness", "Actual Record of Military Training", etc., has the rudiments of modern military drills, and I am even more strong in martial arts, and I can always formulate different military strategies and achieve victory according to different forms of war, it is no exaggeration to describe it as a military genius, Chen Xin is full of blood every time he thinks of the Qi family army rushing to Taizhou on a mountain road of one hundred and ten miles in one night, his blood is boiling, what kind of army should it be.

While speaking, the bird boat leaned to the shore, put down the gangplank, and the two followed a Ming army general to the Yamen of Haiphong Road, and Song Wenxian told Chen Xin, which was the official office of Lord Zhong. Two soldiers stood on each side of the entrance of the official office, and when the general went to find someone to report, the two waited at the door, and the person who reported back came after a while and led the two in.

Chen Xin followed behind Song Wenxian, and as soon as he walked to the door of the second hall, a bold voice came out: "Daoshi, you can be regarded as back, these days make me worry day and night, just come back, just come back." ”

Chen Xin poked his head out from behind Song Wenxian and saw that a tall official with broad ears in front of him also had a beautiful beard, wearing a red official uniform, a patch with a cloud crane pattern on his chest, a black gauze hat on his head, official boots on his feet, and a leather belt around his waist, with a look of joy. gave Chen Xin the impression that he had a leadership temperament.

"Dao Shi has seen Lord Zhong, tired Lord Zhong bothered, this trip was smooth, but on the way I met Haikou, Zhao Haiming died unfortunately in order to protect the ship's cargo." Chen Xin didn't know that Zhao Dong's name was Zhao Haiming until this time.

Lord Zhong looked surprised, and then turned into a look of regret: "Hey, what's the trouble of Zhao Dangjia, you can buy the boat if it's gone, what's the use of leaving the boat when the person is gone, but his character of being loyal to people is not something that everyone can have, if my Ming officials and soldiers can do the same, Daming is blessed." ”

"Yes, this is all because Lord Zhong treats Zhao Haiming well, how can he not do things without his heart when he is grateful."

Lord Zhong shook his hand, and said with concern: "Daoshi, you are fine, this pirate is very ferocious, no wonder I was worried about it some time ago, I should be worried about you and others." ”

"Thanks to the Lord, unscathed."

"Okay, that's it." Lord Zhong looked relieved, he saw Chen Xin behind Song Wenxian, and asked Song Wenxian: "Daoshi, who is this?" ”

Chen Xin hurriedly came out and knelt down and saluted according to Song Wenxian's instructions: "Under Chen Xin, I have seen Lord Zhong, Lord Zhong never forgets to worry about the country and the people, those soldiers are familiar with it, and they must be more attentive to killing slaves." It was the first time I met an adult, and I was also impressed by the adult's mind. ”

Lord Zhong stroked his beard and took all the sycophants as expected, "You are a dignified descendant, and what you just said can also be seen to have a loyal heart, please get up quickly." ”

Song Wenxian waited for Chen Xin to get up, and said on the side: "Chen Xin is the deputy financial officer on the ship, and he was originally a scholar, with anger in his heart, he personally killed the murderer of Zhao Dangjia, who can be literate and martial, and now everyone on the ship is in awe of him very much, and the son of the Li family on the side of the country also admires him very much. ”

Lord Zhong nodded slowly, looked at Chen Xin a few times, Song Wenxian's meaning has been clearly explained, this person has been supported by the Li family of the Wa Kingdom, and he brought this person to replace Zhao Haiming with this person, he is the deputy of finance, and his finances are clear, so he no longer has to avoid him. He invited the two of them to sit first, and he sat on the main seat, and then let the next person come to serve tea.

Song Wenxian and the others left and began to report the income this time, of course, the Zhu Yin ship of the Wa Kingdom would not mention, he said slowly: "Lord Zhong, this time to the sea, although there are some twists and turns, but your goods are unscathed, the capital is eight thousand taels, I thought that I could only earn eight thousand taels, it just so happened that this time the Wa Kingdom was out of stock, so I earned an extra eight thousand taels, so that Lord Zhong should have twenty-four thousand taels." ”

"Oh!?" Lord Zhong said softly.

Then Song Wenxian regretted again: "It's just a pity that Lord Li's goods, when the pirates robbed, a thief jumped into the cabin and set fire in desperation, although I tried my best to rescue, but I still burned most of Lord Li's goods, and now it is just enough for Lord Li's capital, I am terrified, and I don't know how to explain to the governor, please punish Lord Zhong." ”

Lord Zhong's fingers tapped lightly on the table, his heart was satisfied, he heard Xuange and knew the elegance, Song Wenxian's meaning was already clear in his chest, Master Li was not in his place, and he should not be profitable, these two people were quite interesting, and they found this reason to give up nearly half of the profits to themselves, and Li Song couldn't blame himself.

"Where does Dao Shi come from, this sea walk, there is a risk, it is rare to be able to protect most of it, since the capital has been recovered, just return the capital to Lord Li, in this situation, I want to come to Lord Li can also understand." During the conversation, the two had already reached an agreement on Li Song's profits.

"Yes, thank you for your understanding, I don't know where Lord Li is now." Song Wenxian knew that Li Song had left, but he deliberately asked so.

"Dao Shi, you don't know yet, Lord Li went to Nanjing a few days ago to serve as a household servant, the current governor is Lord Sun, Dao Shi was originally Lord Li's staff, will he go to Nanjing with Lord Li in the future, or stay in Dengzhou?"

"Ah, it turns out that Master Li has been promoted, I have been at sea for nearly two months, and I really don't know about it, but my family is in Shandong, and my homeland is difficult to leave, and I still want to stay in Dengzhou, but I don't know Lord Sun, it seems that I have to go home and plant a few acres of land in the future."

Lord Zhong laughed and said: "Dao Shi, you have followed Lord Li for a long time, and your character and talent are the choice of a moment, if you go back to farming, but let me have one less talent, it is better for me to introduce Dao Shi." In the future, I will still follow Master Sun, and I don't need to go to the south. ”

"Thank you, Lord Chung. I don't know where Master Sun is. ”

"Lord Sun was originally a native of Zhejiang, Wanli Guichou Jinshi, with the right deputy imperial envoy to patrol Denglai and Dongjiang, this time to build a slave Koubian, Lord Sun sat in Dengzhou, strategized, sailed and exchanged divisions on the sea, coerced Sancha, and dispatched Dongjiang Town to cover the attack on Liaodong, so that the new slave chief was very jealous and had to retreat, others did not know, but my subordinates had to understand."

Song Wenxian was already at this time, and continued: "What Lord Zhong said is that our subordinates should follow Master Sun's example. This Chen Xin is also thinking like this, he is a Liao people who fled into the customs, on the way to listen to the military character of all the adults, I admire in my heart, I have to kill the enemy for the country, I think that in this way he can also get closer to the adults, listen to more teachings, it is always good. ”

Lord Zhong naturally won't ask Li Song about other profits, he knows these very well, he can roughly calculate, there are probably a few thousand taels left, he doesn't want to swallow all Li Song's profits, just enough is his experience for many years, if the Japanese Sea Trade can continue to do it, he and Lord Sun are closely interested, far more cost-effective than swallowing this ten thousand taels now.

Now it's time to talk about Chen Xin, who will be the big boss He Lord Zhong can't call the shots, and he doesn't care, he just wants to have a mortgage, so that he can rest assured that the goods will be handed over to this person to do, he listened to Song Wenxian's words, and thought that this Chen Xin was planning to use himself as a mortgage, more sensible than the original Zhao Haiming, but he alone was not enough, once he went to sea, who could find it.

Master Zhong looked at Chen Xin and asked slowly: "I understand Chen Gongzi's intentions, but it is also very difficult to kill the enemy for the country, I wonder if Chen Gongzi has a family?" ”

Chen Xin just listened to the two talking on the side, he thought he was thick-skinned, but when he saw this Lord Zhong and Song Wenxian, he realized that there was a mountain outside the mountain, both of them were acting superstars, and they also had a strong sense of understanding, a few back and forth had already distributed Li Song's profits, and implemented Song Wenxian's work, what was rare was that after the two discussed bad things, they couldn't hear a little bad thoughts, and those who didn't understand would think that they were really thinking about others. "It's so thick-skinned!" Chen Xin praised the two of them from the bottom of his heart.

At this time, Chen Xin listened to Lord Zhong's question, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Back to the adult, the villain plans to get married when he returns to Tianjin this time." ”

Song Wenxian was slightly surprised, and he didn't hear Chen Xin talk about marriage on the road.

"This is very good, if you join the army, you can also come to Dengzhou with the whole family, when there is nothing to do, I can invite Chen Gongzi and Daoshi to go to Penglai Pavilion to see the fairy scenery on the sea."

"The villain thanked the adults for their love first."

"I don't know if Chen Gongzi wants to enter the war barracks or enter the baggage camp, or enter my sailor?"

"Adults, the villain's ability is limited, and I am worried that the prestige of the soldiers will be damaged. The villain's ancestor was a military household in Zhejiang, and now the villain is also a military household, and when he needs to go into battle, he can also do it. ”

"Military?" Lord Zhong was a little puzzled, there are very few people who still have to be a military household these days, and all the guards have almost escaped. This man is still going to be a soldier.

"The villain is thinking, I am afraid that the promotion in the military household will be faster, and if he can be an official and a half-position, it can be regarded as earning face for his ancestors." The official position of the guard is not valuable, but the grade is not low, and he is always an official when he says it, and Lord Zhong accepted this explanation. As long as Chen Xinlai comes, Dengzhou's military affairs are in charge of Haiphong Dao, and even if it is a military household, he can control it.

"Filial piety comes first, Chen Gongzi has such filial piety, and I also think it is complete, so where does Chen Gongzi want to trust me in Dengzhou?"

"Weihaiwei."
