Chapter 475: See Liu Yu Again
Wei Feng frowned, and asked seriously: "Liu Xingnan, I didn't expect me to underestimate you, but I don't understand a little, with your clever tricks and advice for me, my strength will only get stronger and stronger, and it will only become more and more difficult for your father to catch up with me, what if I use troops against your father in the future?" You're in the middle, I'm worried about you! ”
Liu Xingnan lost a conscientious look, and said angrily: "Xingnan would rather you and your father be strong and weak, rather than you are on the same footing, maybe this way can avoid evil, if you and your father's strength is about the same, then no one will bow to each other, even if the mother and aunt, plus Xingnan persuade together, it's useless, you understand?" ”
Wei Feng asked again: "Liu Xingnan, according to your meaning, can I interpret it as saying that you really want me to take over your father in the future?" ”
"Humph!" Liu Xingnan snorted coldly: "What kind of person are you, Xingnan and my aunt both understand, even if your father demotes you, you will not harm your father's life, but my father was able to take Xingnan out of Lu to marry, and I haven't seen him for so many years, I can't say if I will change my temperament, Xingnan doesn't want my aunt to be a widow again!" ”
"Oh?" Wei Feng was overjoyed, hugged Liu Xingnan's slender waist, and said with a smile: "Liu Xingnan, you really understand the righteousness, my infatuation with you is becoming more and more difficult to suppress, and when your father descends on me, I will officially propose to his old man and sister-in-law, of course, if you can't wait, let's round the house in advance!" ”
"Who can't wait? Xing Nan doesn't want to marry you, take your dirty hands away! Liu Xingnan also ignored the many strange eyes on the street. Struggle violently!
Antonio only stayed in Gangneung for three days before he left by boat, taking with him a letter from Wei Feng to Empress Odoxia and a statue of Brahma in pure gold.
Antonio had planned to collect some silk in Gangneung, but what was silk compared to Fuxian ointment? Even he regretted the money he spent indiscriminately before he came, Wei Feng expected that Antonio would increase the price of Fuxian Paste to a box of 1,000 gold coins, but he never expected that Antonio's psychological base price was 5,000 gold coins!
Wei Feng told Antonio that Gaozhou Thorn Shi had 10,000 boxes of Fuxian Paste in his hands. The cost is half a million gold coins. But Antonio bought some porcelain and silk in Panyu, and bought a lot of tea from the Xie family of Chen County in Shanyin, and now there are only 200,000 gold coins left, which makes his regret turn green. When he came. But I brought more than 500,000 gold coins!
This is equivalent to 6,000 boxes of Fuxian paste missing. The gross profit per box was 4,950 gold coins, which theoretically made 29,700,000 gold coins less, even if silk, tea, and porcelain could make up for it. But at the very least, more than 10 million are gone!
Antonio even had the intention of committing suicide by jumping into the river, and he couldn't give up for the past two days, so that Julia originally wanted to tell her uncle that she was pregnant, but in the end she was not interested in saying it.
On December 20, a month after Antonio's departure, Wei Feng led an army of 70,000 craftsmen, sailors, and guards, and about 2,000 ships of all sizes down the river.
After 15 days of sailing, the fleet has appeared on the Jiankang River, the large and small ships on the river have scattered, fortunately before the wind slowed down, which did not cause too much chaos, however, since the Gushu, the beacons on the riverside are all wolf smoke, and the stone city in front of the eye is even more nervous!
Julia looked at Wei Feng, and finally couldn't help but say, "Envoy, can you really see God by smoking the Blessing Immortal Cream?" Uncle can't stay in Gangneung for this, and Julia wants to taste something, okay? ”
Wei Feng refused: "No, you can't smoke it, that thing is not good for your health if you oversmoke it for a long time." ”
Julia was dissatisfied: "Julia understands that my uncle went to Gaozhou to buy Fuxian ointment, and he will definitely smoke it by himself, wouldn't this hurt him?" ”
Wei Feng shook and said: "Your uncle has always been ambitious, but according to me, it is unlikely that he will succeed in establishing his own door, the key is that everything about him comes from the Odoxia family, and no matter ancient or modern, Chinese and foreign, women often fail to die well when they get power, Empress Odoxia's power comes from the Eastern Roman Emperor, your emperor is obviously a puppet, and everyone wants to control him!"
Julia, don't blame me for speaking badly, the rise of the Odosia family is entirely due to the fact that Theodosius, the former emperor of Eastern Rome, took a fancy to Empress Odosia and promised her to the current Roman emperor Arcadius, but such a family lacks heritage and is easy to be taken advantage of.
I heard that Empress Odoxia has more than one mistress, and even secretly gave birth to a son named John, you know, there is no impermeable wall in the world, this matter will sooner or later reach Empress Odoxia's political enemies, and as a lethal weapon against the queen, how long do you think your Odoxia family can support in such a situation?
The family is down, what is the use of your uncle's army employing tens of thousands of people? Could it be that the political enemies of the House of Odoxia will spare your uncle? The queen may have scruples and worry about losing both sides in the family infighting, but your family's political enemies will only cut the grass and eradicate the roots, if your uncle is a small person, it doesn't matter, with his business talent and estranged blood, maybe there will be another appointment, but if he becomes the governor of the powerful side, the end will inevitably be the extinction of the clan!
At the same time, Germanic mercenaries may not be reliable, will they fight against an empire for your uncle's little gold? You must know that this is Eastern Rome, not Western Rome, Eastern Rome has the support of Sassanid, and the barbarians can't set off the storm at all!
Therefore, it is actually a good thing for your uncle to smoke Fuxian ointment, indulge in the illusory world, and lose his ambition over time, in addition, I will tell you the truth, Fuxian ointment can be used to treat many diseases by occasional smoking, but long-term smoking will damage the body, this long-term refers to the time of ten years, when your uncle is in his sixties, what can the body be poisoned? I think you should understand that people who often drift on the sea will have all kinds of physical discomfort when they get old, and whether your uncle can live that long is still a question, don't you say? ”
"Oh!" Julia nodded and said, "Envoy, what you said is indeed quite ugly, how can there be a reason to curse people to death?" But what you said is also right, if you stay at sea for a long time, you will basically have rheumatism and other joint pain, which can torture people to death, and there is no cure, and it is not bad to have Fuxian ointment to relieve pain and anesthesia, and every time you go to sea, it is equivalent to risking your own life, but Julia still hopes that her uncle can be safe. ”
Wei Feng smiled kindly: "Julia, if your uncle comes again next time, I will try to persuade him to stay, don't run anymore, if he can quit the Fuxian ointment, I can get an official for him to be in charge of business and trade, your uncle is a talent in business, but it is okay if he can't quit, and it is okay to stay in our Middle Earth to live for a long time." ”
Julia suddenly glanced at Wei Feng strangely, and snorted coldly: "Envoy, Julia thank you first, but you still seem to owe Julia 100,000 gold coins, although you never mentioned it, Julia remembers, when the time comes, you will support your uncle, even if he sucks Fuxian ointment every day, it is enough for him to suck for a lifetime." ”
Wei Feng's old face flushed, he was a Westerner in his heart, and he was not ambiguous about money at all, but he could only smile awkwardly: "Julia, how can I rely on your money?" I just think you won't need the money for the time being, so I'll save it for you first, hehe~~ You can withdraw it at any time. ”
Julia's mood was obviously better, and she lost a look that counts as your acquaintance.
Wei Feng didn't dare to tease Julia anymore, he was reluctant to take out 100,000 gold coins, so he looked at Liu Xingnan, and asked as if he had nothing to say: "Liu Xingnan, do you think your father will stand on the stone city and watch us?" ”
"This" Liu Xingnan looked at Stone City in a daze, as if he was really looking for someone, and then proposed: "General, I can't see it clearly, let's get closer?" ”
Wei Feng waved his hand back, and the ship gradually turned its direction towards Stone City, and with a loud shout three hundred paces away from the city, it hovered steadily in the middle of the river.
Stone city is built according to the stone mountain, open two gates in the south, open one door in the east, the west gate of the south gate is the west gate, the city is by the mountains and rivers, the river is sandwiched, the danger is solid and the current situation is mighty, the stone warehouse is built in the city, the stone warehouse is used to store military food and ordnance, there is a beacon in the high place of the city wall, it is an important military fortress to defend Jiankang, because the stone city takes the natural cliff on the west slope of the stone mountain as the city base, so the height of the city wall is about five to six zhang, just level with the bow of the ship.
Liu Yu really stood on the head of the city, compared with the previous years, his head was a little whiter, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were deeper, but his eyes were still sharp, showing his strong fighting spirit, Liu Xingnan couldn't help but feel sour, and his eyes were also red.
Wei Feng hurriedly patted her, arched his hand and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many years, Brother Liu's demeanor is better than in the past, it's really gratifying, I don't know if my sister-in-law is okay?" ”
Liu Yu looked at Wei Feng's fleet intently, and at a glance, it was boundless, especially the dozens of super-large ships with white sails, although he learned something from Liu Yi, but when he really saw it, he was still shocked in his heart, this kind of ship is very different from any ship in the past, the pointed head, the sides of the ship quickly shrink to the bottom, with his experience, you can judge at a glance that the speed must be extremely fast, and the ship itself can fire plow darts and stone bullets, it is simply terrifying.
Seeing Wei Feng greeting him, Liu Yu also replied: "Everything is okay with Humble Jing, the foolish brother thanked General Wei for his concern, but General Wei, you, in just a few years, have defeated a strong enemy and established a great reputation, it is really a terrible life, and the foolish brother is ashamed!" ”
Wei Feng smiled slightly: "The Beifu Army has a deep heritage, and it will soar into the sky sooner or later, by the way, the two sisters have given birth to a son for me in Panyu a few years ago, and they are very lively and clever, but it is a pity that they are in a hurry to go out, otherwise they should have brought him to meet his uncle and aunt." ”
Liu Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled happily: "Oh? is not busy, there are many opportunities, and in addition, he does not hide from General Wei, the foolish brother took a concubine last year, and he is seven months pregnant. (To be continued......)
