"Ying Dongjia, let me introduce you to you, this is Qiu Dongjia from Hangzhou. (To read the latest chapter of this book, please visit the biquge.info of Wรจn Aishang Novel Network)" Huang Xu, the shopkeeper of Hangzhou Fushun Bailian, introduced Ying Tainong to him. "Qiu Dongjia is a hand-eyed figure in the Weaving Bureau, what goods should be asked for by the Dong family, even if it is something that the imperial court prohibits going to sea, Qiu Dongjia can get it easily."

Ying Tainong looked at the so-called Qiu Dongjia with an obvious indentation of the official hat on his forehead, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he clasped his fists and saluted: "I really don't know, if there is no guidance from the Huang shopkeeper, I will have eyes and eyes that don't know gold and jade, and if it's rude, please ask the Qiu Dong family to ask for Haihan!" โ€

Ying Tainon arrived in the Ryukyus in February last year, and when he arrived in the Ryukyus, the incident of the missing fleet of the Japanese Satsuma clan in the Ryukyus had come to an end - everyone proved that the Satsuma ship had left Naha, and the sea was turbulent, and no one knew what went wrong, so naturally it could not be blamed on other merchants, so after he was angry and blackmailed the Ryukyu royal family, the matter died down - by virtue of the calm of the situation, he opened a Taiwan Strait business association without notice, He also used Zheng Kezang's orders to cover the intermediary transactions of all merchant ships coming to the Ryukyus, including the Ryukyu battalion.

Although Ying Tainong had a low-key start, his actions in taking over Dongning's goods were really high-profile, and soon his Taiwan Strait Business Federation was regarded as Dongning's semi-official organization in the Ryukyus, and because of this, it was hot to fight with Satsuma and Ryukyu, and then many Zhejiang and Fujian merchants who were interested in smuggling such a lucrative industry also pounced like sharks smelling blood.

In view of the smooth start, Ying Tainong quickly reached an agreement with all parties, including the import of copper, iron and sulfur from Satsuma, the import of Songjiang cotton cloth, ironware, and raw alkali from mainland merchants, the acquisition of horses from Korea, and the sale of high-quality snow sugar, rock sugar, whale oil candles, whale meat, kun skin, deer skin, and shark skin to all parties, and the business was so prosperous that Yang Ying was jealous.

However, Ying Tainong's main task was to get information from the merchants of the Qing court, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to give up part of his interests to envelop the merchants of Zhejiang and Fujian. However, you can't blindly ask for intelligence work, no, someone came to the door today, and the purpose was to learn a little about Dongning from Ying Tainong.

"Well said, well said." Ying Tainong was observing the other party, why wasn't the Qiu Dong family observing Ying Tainong, when they saw Ying Tainong standing up as a soldier and doing the posture of a businessman, the Qiu Dong family also showed a knowing smile. "Actually, it is also Yu's chance to meet Ying Dongjia today, come and come, sit down and eat together."

Ying Tainong is not humble, a butt down, the Ryukyu wine girl on the side saw the guest and the host sitting, so she squeaked and sang the local tune, a few people pushed the cup to change the lamp, and so the stomach was almost stuffed, Qiu Dongjia gave the Huang shopkeeper a look, and the Huang shopkeeper first retreated the restaurant girl, and then he disappeared in the name of urine.

Seeing this situation, Ying Tainong knew that the other party's drama meat was coming, so he slowly straightened up, and listened to Qiu Dongjia say: "Brother Ying, you can guess a few points about the identity of the next one, that's right, the next is a subordinate of Hangzhou Weaving Sun Wencheng Sun, and there is also a five-grade top on his head, but I don't know where Brother Ying is in your official residence in Dongning?" โ€

"It turned out to be Lord Qiu," with the backing of the largest empire in East Asia, the Qiu Dong family could show their identity openly, but Ying Tainong, who was afraid that the Ryukyu side would be coerced by the Qing court and then expel him, did not dare to say it frankly, so he had to avoid the truth and make up for it. "It's just a little person in Dongning, this identity is not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning!"

Regarding Ying Tainong's reaction, Qiu someone naturally understood the trick, but fortunately, his purpose was only to confirm the identity of the other party and he didn't need to find out the old bottom, so he just didn't dig into it: "It's not worth mentioning, it's okay to be alone, as long as Brother Ying is from Dongning, Yu didn't come in vain this time." โ€

Ying Tainong raised his eyebrows and asked confusedly, "What does Brother Qiu mean?" โ€

"Yu wants to inquire about something with Brother Ying, of course, he doesn't want Brother Ying to say in vain, no matter if Brother Ying wants money, cloth, silk, iron, or even wants to wear an official hat in the Qing Dynasty, Yu can agree for Lord Sun." Qiu Dongjia didn't want to lure Ying Tainong down, but he had too many chips, so he thought that there was always one thing that could impress Ying Tainong. "Yu is a little good person, whoever helps Yu, Yu always makes him rewarded."

"Oh?" A glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Ying Tainong's eyes. "Brother Qiu is so generous, Yu is not good at hiding it, so let's talk about what you want to ask first, as long as Yu can answer, he will naturally know everything and say everything."

"Brother Ying must know." Someone held up a finger. "I heard that Guishang just got drunk?"

"Although Guishang is in Hangzhou, he is also well-informed." Ying Tainong teased. "But if you want to have a character like Brother Qiu running for it, it's normal to be well-informed." Speaking of this, Ying Tainong nodded and gave a clear answer to the question of the owner of Qiu. "That's right, on the 28th of last month, the first king died in Anping City."

"Brother Ying is sincere." This is not a big question, the reason why the Qiu proprietor asked, and the reason why Ying Tainong answered in detail was just a bridge to see each other's goods and inspect the goods, and the next thing was the real question. "Then Brother Ying, do you know that your heir, Zhu Qin, treats the Ming family like this?"

Ying Tainong closed his eyes and thought about it, and also raised a finger: "A thousand pieces of Songjiang blue cloth." โ€

"No problem." The owner of the autumn immediately ordered someone to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and with a stroke of the pen, a bill of lading was written, and then the owner of the autumn did not know that he took out a seal and put a seal on the bill of lading. "With this thing, Brother Ying can take a thousand pieces of Songjiang blue cloth in any Bailian."

After receiving the documents handed over by the Qiu Dongzhu, Ying Tainong pulled it into his sleeve without looking at it, and the two sides may continue to cooperate, so the other party will not do anything at this time: "Shisun has always been loyal and righteous, and he also has a lot of concerns for the Ming family. โ€

Ying Tainong actually said something specious, but for the Qing court spies, these are enough, after all, as long as Taiwan continues to respect the Ming Dynasty, then there is no possibility for the Qing and Zheng sides to shake hands and make peace, in order to cut off the last resistance efforts of the Han people, sooner or later there will be a big war between the two sides.

"I heard that Zhu Qin married Chen Yonghua's daughter as the main house, and Chen Yonghua and the general envoy of Tongzhi Dongning, Feng Xifan Feng, have always had a grudge," Qiu raised another finger, this is the second question. "Now that the King of Xianchao has passed away, will the heir of your vassal be the once powerful Feng Xifan?"

"I can't answer that." Even if he can't answer, he has to knock on the other party's bamboo pole. "Brother Qiu will give another 500 pieces of white cloth, and Yu will tell Brother Qiu about the character of his grandson." Qiu Dongzhu nodded with a wry smile, signed out a bill of lading for five hundred pieces of cloth, and put the list into his cuffs, Ying Tainong picked up some stories about Zheng Kezang in the boy camp and told them to the other party. "Shisun is resolute, but he is naturally wise, has a lot of power and scheming, and does things in secret, from this point of view, even if he wants to move Feng Xifan Feng, he will not take it lightly, and there will be a thunderous blow, so Yu doesn't know if Shisun will attack Lord Feng Xifan, but Yu thinks that from the perspective of stabilizing the political situation in Taiwan, Shisun will not take it lightly."

"That's right!" The owner of the autumn was very satisfied, and it was obvious that the five hundred pieces of white cloth were worth the money, so he raised a finger again. "Then I will ask Brother Ying another question, I heard that Zhu Qin had the intention of going south to annex Luzon, but he was blocked by Feng Xifan and Chen Shenwu, and now he inherits the throne, but he has the intention of invading the south again."

"I really don't know about this." Ying Tainong took a sip of the residual wine and shook his head. "But Brother Qiu can go back and tell Guishang, now that the Taiwanese are determined, there will be no more swords for a while, and you can sit back and relax."

The flesh on Qiu Dongzhu's face trembled, Taiwan is temporarily powerless to commit crimes in the west, but the Qing court may not let Taiwan go, of course, the key to it, he is not very clear about the slave of the minion, so he just raised his glass cooperatively: "What Brother Ying said is that I would rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world, and no one wants to fight." โ€

"What the owner of Qiu said is that after six years of fighting, Dongning is full of mourning, and it is time for the flag to die down." Ying Tainong said with a sigh, and then clinked glasses with Qiu Dongzhu. "Today is also fate, maybe in the future, I will count on the elder brother to help guide the way, come, the younger brother borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and drank this cup."

The two of them drank all their own ghosts, looking at each other's wine glasses, laughter suddenly rang out, hearing the laughter of the two, the Huang shopkeeper who had withdrawn before obviously received the signal, and quickly opened the Japanese-style screen door, returned to the seat, and as soon as he sat down, he immediately beckoned: "Come on, change the table." โ€

"No need." Ying Tainong stood up. "It's already fun at this point, just drink it again." Then Ying Tainong said meaningfully. "Leave it for the future, there will be trouble for Brother Qiu and Shopkeeper Huang."

The shopkeeper Huang, who sent Ying Tainong out, returned to the house, only to see Qiu Dongzhu twisting the wine glass thoughtfully: "You say, how much is true and how much is false?" โ€

"That's not good," the shopkeeper Huang didn't dare to guarantee the ticket, and could only respond ambiguously. "But there shouldn't be any need to lie about today's problem, besides, the surname Ying himself said that he would trouble us in the future, so it is unlikely that he will be fooled."

"I hope so," said the Aki proprietor, standing up. "You prepare the ship immediately, and you have to go back to Hangzhou."

Shopkeeper Huang asked puzzledly, "Why are you in such a hurry?" โ€

"Don't worry, no, if this news is outdated, I won't know the money."

Huang shopkeeper will understand, yes, the three weaving offices are in a competitive relationship, and there is also Fujian that is also collecting information from Taiwan, if it is too late, it will lose points in Kangxi.

Now that he has figured it out, Shopkeeper Huang immediately stood up: "Don't worry, don't worry, Yu will arrange it immediately!" โ€
