"Brother Liu, I heard that you did a big deal this time." At a coastal wine shop in Longya Bodhi (also known as Langkawi, Lingjiawei Island, Langkawi), Fang Yunchun, who is red-faced, talks with Liu Ling, who is also a fallen man from the end of the world, about the results of his latest voyage. "Can you tell me what happened to my little brother?"

It stands to reason that Fang Yunchun's uncle Fang Xipeng has been appointed as the head of the capital of Xibo Nifang, and he is also a prince of the inner domain within a radius of more than 20,000 miles. However, it is easy to share hardships in the world, but it is difficult to share wealth and wealth, and when Fang Xipeng has two sons, and the eldest son is already seventeen years old, his position as a nephew is very embarrassing, so he simply left, lest some people think that he had other intentions to stay in Fang Fan.

However, it is easy to get rid of people, and it is not easy to really create your own career, in the case of a group of side families being purged, Fang Yunchun was unwilling to end up as a businessman, so after thinking about it again, he finally exchanged his military merits for a pardon and a canton ship, and became the first batch of privateer pirates in the Huaxia Dynasty together with Liu Ling.

"What a big deal, just a rumor." Having said that, Liu Ling's expression was very excited. "It's just that I robbed a Danish merchant ship in Calcutta, and the ship was only 30,000 catties of jute and 400 quintals of cane sugar."

"Not really." Fang Yunchun obviously looked unconvinced. "How did I hear that there were a thousand or so gems of all colors on board, the largest of which was the size of a thumb?" Fang Yunchun complained while gesturing. "Dude, what is our relationship, you still have to hide it from me, this is a bit unkind."

"There really aren't any gems." Liu Ling shook her head. "It's just that the boat is worth a little bit." Speaking of this, Liu Ling cursed. "If you let Lao Tzu know who is spreading rumors behind his back, Lao Tzu will skin him alive."

"Really?" Looking at Liu Ling, who nodded with a stiff face, Fang Yunchun's eyes rolled. "I'm afraid there are some problems, could it be that Denmark has collapsed the account and taken the opportunity to put the deficit on your brother's head?" Fang Yunchun said to himself. "Yes, there may be such a possibility, fortunately, Brother Liu, you are not at a loss, an intact Yi ship, sold to the civilian shipyards in Guangli and Fujian as a model or sold to the local ship school to train soft sailors, then it can be sold for at least four or five thousand taels, if you add a dozen or so ship guns, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop ten thousand taels, and the goods on the ship, if this is not a big deal, what can be considered a big deal."

Liu Ling nodded: "It's indeed a big deal, but it's a pity that the model of this boat is a little old, otherwise I wouldn't have sold it, wouldn't it be better to keep it in my hands and keep it for my own use." ”

While the two were talking, a man came in through the door and asked in a loud voice, "Does anyone know whose boat is in the harbor?" ”

After asking three times, seeing that no one answered and was about to leave, Fang Yunchun came to his senses at this time, and pushed Liu Ling, Liu Ling suddenly realized, and then responded: "The boat is mine, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Yours?" The person who came said it with some displeasure. "Why didn't you reply just now, forget it, the lord of the city department invited you to go over to discuss taxes, why are you still stunned, let's take a trip, it's really a nobleman, and you have to come to invite it."

"The city's division? Tax? What's going on. "Liu Ling is a little unclear." Lao Tzu has an edict to discuss what taxes. ”

"Come on, whoever is here doesn't have an edict, don't keep talking about it." The visitor replied dismissively. "The edict just told you that you can go and rob Yangyi, and it's not that you are exempted from taxes, if you don't pay taxes like you, there will be no way for the Lingyamen Duhu Mansion to save it."

Liu Ling's face was red when she was squeezed, but she still didn't admit defeat: "When I come back, why didn't anyone collect taxes from me." ”

"Isn't that the master of the city division not here?" The visitor looked at Liu Ling coldly. "Why, I evaded taxes last time, do you still want to evade this time? Tell you, no way, if you don't pay taxes, the ship won't want to sail out of the island. ”

Liu Ling's anger also came up, and he immediately said goodbye to Fang Yunchun, and then said to the visitor: "Lao Tzu also fought out of the wind and waves, but I want to see what kind of Longtan tiger's den this city is. ”

Fang Yunchun looked at this scene dumbfounded, and before he could figure it out, after a while, Liu Ling's face turned back: "Ruthless, really too ruthless, these tax collectors are simply going to pick my skin." ”

Looking at Fang Yunchun, who didn't know what to say, Liu Ling explained: "I asked for three thousand taels at once, and if I didn't have any money, I directly used the goods on the ship to offset the price, and if it wasn't enough, I took three and a half snake cannons." ”

Fang Yunchun smashed his tongue and looked at Liu Ling in disbelief: "Collected so ruthlessly? How much is this tax? ”

"There's something even worse." Liu Ling whispered at Fang Yunchun with a strange face. "You also know those guys from the Metropolitan Protector's Office, no, I bumped into one in the City Ship Division, and directly asked me to send the ship to Lingyamen, saying that it was an old-fashioned cruise ship that was decommissioned from the army to exchange it with me, and it seems that this deal will not only not make a big profit, but also make a loss."

Fang Yunchun threw a fist at Liu Ling is spirit: "Okay, you Liu Man, you are cheap and well-behaved, even if it is an old-fashioned cruising boat, it is also a soft-sail fast ship of three or four thousand materials, which is thousands of times stronger than your lucky boat, but the sail is not very easy to control." ”

Fang Yunchun seemed to think of something: "Then again, since you can drive the ship back from Calcutta, I think there must be sailors on the ship who can operate soft sails, and the brother can be regarded as a tiger with wings in the future, but pity us people who still use the slow old ship, and they can??????'t catch up when they see a good target."

"It's not easy to have soft sails on the ship, there are many wine shops in the ports occupied by the Yiren, and if you really want to find it, there is no problem with ten or eight." Liu Ling's words are not false, because European countries widely use Asian sailors, so in addition to the captain, first mate, navigator and other senior sailors are difficult to find, other ordinary sailors can still make up. "Otherwise, your brother will also hire two, and if they are used at a critical time, they can be replaced with soft sailing ships in the army."

Fang Yunchun shook his head: "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, I am not as bold as Brother Liu." ”

"It's not that I'm not worried, but I'm hired by two, and I'm not afraid of any bad intentions from them." Liu Ling preached. "If there is a problem, throw it into the sea, and everything will be fine."

"That's one way to do it." Fang Yunchun finally did not resist the temptation to change into a soft sailboat. "Or you can give it a try." Of course, he finally wanted to change to a soft sailboat, not just because he envied Liu Ling. "After all, our ship is too slow to perform in the strait, and secondly, it is too conspicuous, and everyone knows that we are doing it."

"Speaking of slow, just now the staff of the department mentioned to me that the imperial court will build a new ship in the Lingyamen Shipyard, it is said that what kind of big food sail oars can be used in the strait can be twice as fast as the ordinary soft sail merchant ships, as long as they are equipped, those Taixi ships can't escape at all, otherwise, Brother Fang, you go and ask how to exchange this kind of ship first."

Fang Yunchun's face showed a puzzled look: "This is not right, if the strait is completely closed, who will sell the goods from the coastal provinces?" It is not necessarily that the imperial court is counting on the merchant ships of the countrymen to sell the goods directly to Tianzhu. ”

"Yes, it's possible." After Fang Yunchun's suggestion, Liu Ling also thought about some things clearly. "I said how could the sailor sell the soft sailing ship to us people, I was expecting that we would be able to control the Andaman Sea and escort the merchant ships of the Kingdom to Tianzhu safely. Obediently, the court's plot is not small, it seems that it is preparing to drive all the Yangyi out of the South Seas, if this is the case, Brother Fang, your hands and feet will be faster. ”

"I'm afraid it's not as fast as you think." Fang Yunchun shook his head. "The imperial court has not completely controlled the mud, and the Dutch Hongyi is wreaking havoc in Java, Sumatra, and the spice islands, at this time it is impossible for the imperial court to drive all the foreign Yi out of the South Seas, and there are always some left to contain the Hongyi.

"It's always a chance." Liu Ling blinked obscenely. "The curry girl is tired of playing, I can't say that I want to play with the black girl and the ghost girl, I heard that the big food and the Persian woman are more amorous, and I have to try it if I have the opportunity??????"

Fang Yunchun laughed and said, "Don't call you dad when a bunch of mongrel boys call you daddy, then it's big." ”

"I'm a leaf in a thousand flowers." Liu Ling responded with a smile. "Even if there is such a day, there is nothing to worry about, according to the holy oracle, it will make the country of Bu powerful to all nations abroad."

Fang Yunchun couldn't straighten up with a smile: "Brother Liu, are you tampering with the meaning of the saint like this?" That's disrespectful. ”

"It's disrespectful to go to Tmd, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, what can you do if you scold this old boy." I don't know if it's because Fang Yunchun's voice is too loud, but his words resonated at the table next to him. "Besides, Emperor Wucheng didn't disobey the Ming family back then, why can't we do what he did."

"Be careful." Liu Ling saw that Fang Yunchun had the intention of responding, and immediately stepped forward to stop him. "We're still counting on the protection of Lingyamen."

Before Fang Yunchun could speak, someone at the table next to him jumped up: "What are you afraid of, it's a big deal, Lao Tzu went all the way west, went to Tianzhu to go to Dashi, it is said that the southwest of Tianzhu Ocean is where those Kunlun slaves come from, and we may be able to set up our own doors there." ”

"To Kunlunnu's hometown? Easier said than done. Liu Ling stood up and looked at the few people on the side. Do you have needle paths? Do you know how many waterways there are? Do you know how many people die each time the ship goes? I don't know anything, I just think about the independent portal, it's really unashamed??????"

The people on the side were scolded away by Liu Ling, but Fang Yunchun's eyes showed a hint of essence: "Brother Liu, in fact, in my opinion, what those people said just now is not impossible??????
