Chapter 227: A Sudden Guest

Hearing that the owner of the family had sent him back to the cottage, Ming Fengxiu was immediately anxious, why was he just preparing to do the duty of a close attendant, but the head of the family was going to send him out of the village again? The scene of Zhengliang's disappearance still seems to have happened yesterday, and Ming Feng Xiuzheng plans to not lose his family master no matter what.

"This matter is extremely important, you can leave immediately after the meeting, without delay" Zhengliang saw Ming Feng Xiuzheng's thoughts, and said seriously, "As for my safety, I don't have to worry about it at all, and I will leave here with you and rush back to the inn later." ”

Ming Feng Xiuzheng, who was originally going to fight to the death, immediately quieted down as soon as he heard that the head of the family would return to the inn residence. There are more than a dozen of Wang Hai's subordinates guarding the inn, and there is no problem in ensuring the safety of Zhengliang. Thinking of this, Ming Fengxiu bowed down and said, "Yes, Your Highness, Your Majesty and the others will rush back to the cottage immediately." ”

After summing up with Wang Hai again, Zhengliang officially bid farewell to Zhang Songxi and Master Yuezhi and others. Everyone is also a little reluctant to Zhengliang, getting along for more than two days, although there was a little misunderstanding at the beginning, but they are all people who have this common topic, and more importantly, they have the same aspirations.

Zhengliang also took the opportunity to propose an invitation to the Shaolin monks and Zhang Songxi to visit his territory in Japan if it was convenient in the future. Everyone also readily agreed.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Zhengliang quickly returned to the inn in Ningbo City.

For several days, Masashi did not leave the inn again, and the difference was that in the past few days, the sailors in the courtyard where Masashi was had been in and out more frequently. According to the agreement between Zhengliang and Wang Hai, the deployment has been carried out in an orderly manner in the past few days.

On this day, a guest came to Masahiro's room.

"Haha, presumably this one is His Royal Highness Zhengliang?" The man who came was 1.7 meters tall, with a burly figure, a dark complexion, calloused hands, and quite sharp eyes. At a glance, you can see that Lu Dao is a practitioner, and he is a practitioner who often shoots.

"Your Excellency?" The guest appeared a little suddenly, which made Masahiro look quite confused.

"Oops. Ha lu haha. I forgot about this matter in the next place" The guest patted his head, and then took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Masahiro, and then said. "This letter was handed over to you by Wang Yuanwai, and after reading this letter, you naturally know the origin of the matter."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Zhengliang took the letter and slowly opened it and read it. As for why Masahiro didn't suspect whether the other party was cheating, it was from the fact that this person was able to enter this courtyard unimpeded all the time. Even Wang Hai's subordinates would greet him warmly, and it was clear that he had a good relationship with Wang Hai.

After reading the letter at a glance and ten lines, Masato quickly understood the situation of the person who came to the Dao. The guest's name is You Jianxia. Identity? It's a bit special, indeed. He's a salt lord. The salt of the Ming Dynasty was operated by the government, and ordinary merchants could only sell salt if they received salt introductions. However, these salt introductions have generally become a favorable weapon for collusion between officials and businessmen, and ordinary small businesses have no chance to obtain salt quotations at all. In addition, the profits from the sale of salt were very large, so there were salt barons who sold illicit salt. These salt lords are all men who live on the edge of the knife. He often fights with the rest of the salt barons for profit.

And You Jianxia was originally a bankrupt military household in Ningbo Prefecture, who was righteous and good at kung fu, so he met many heroes. Seeing that his family is on the verge of bankruptcy. You Jianxia was angry and simply fled his hometown with his family. Evacuated to a remote mountain village near Ningbo Prefecture and settled. I don't know what method he used to make the government not hold him accountable, after all, military households are not allowed to leave their nationality, and once they escape, they will definitely be wanted. …,

After settling down, in order for his family to be able to live, You Jianxia gathered a group of subordinates and simply started selling illicit salt. Became a salt lord. In the first few years, due to the lack of competitors, coupled with his familiarity with the terrain and personnel near Ningbo Prefecture. You Jianxia did make a profit, but with the continuous addition of other salt lords and some wealthy businessmen and officials. Business is becoming more and more difficult to do, and You Jianxia, who lacks a background, has become the target of others' suppression.

Wang Hai mentioned in the letter that You Jianxia was besieged by others on the way to sell illicit salt recently, not only lost several brothers, but also lost most of the source of illicit salt, and he happened to meet Wang Hai in a hurry to find a way to make money. So Wang Hai recommended him to himself. Wang Hai repeatedly assured that this person was absolutely trustworthy, and Zhengliang could rest assured that he could discuss with him, and he could also use them for this time.

After reading Wang Hai's letter, Zhengliang basically understood the other party's intention and Wang Hai's kindness. After thinking for a while, Zhengliang looked up at You Jianxia, who looked calm and relaxed, and then said, "Talk about your conditions, right?" Quite a few words"

"Oh?" You Jianxia, who was originally going to have a heart-to-heart with Zhengliang, didn't expect Zhengliang to be so direct and couldn't help but be stunned, and then Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled, "Ha Lu Haha, sure enough, as Wang Yuanwai said, Your Excellency is a refreshing person." By the way, I forgot to introduce it, and it's You Jianxia below. ”

"In Xia Luoliang," Zhengliang replied. Luo Liang is the pseudonym of Zhengliang in the Ming Kingdom.

"Okay, Brother Luo. It's straight to the point. I heard that Brother Luo can provide salt, and it is the best refined salt? You Jianxia immediately asked.

"Yes, you can make coarse salt or even refined salt in the next house, but if Brother You plans to cooperate with the family, I'm afraid that these salts will have to be picked up from the sea," Masara said. After all, his foundation is in Japan, and the Ming Dynasty implemented a sea ban, if the other party intends to cooperate with him, then it is necessary to have a fleet that can penetrate the coastal defense of the Ming Dynasty and receive his own materials from the sea. As for whether the refined salt is enough, there is no need to worry about this, as long as the scope of the salt field is increased after returning.

"Okay, as long as Brother Luo can provide the salt source, as for the problem at sea, I will solve it myself" seemed to be worried that Zhengliang would suddenly change his words, so as soon as he heard Zhengliang's clear reply, You Jianxia immediately said.

It seems that You Jianxia's situation is indeed not very good. Zhengliang couldn't help but think secretly.

"I don't know how Brother Lu Daoyou will solve it?" Hearing that the other party readily agreed to solve the problem of picking up the goods, Zhengliang couldn't help but be a little curious. After all, the other party is just a salt lord, and he is a salt lord who has been suppressed a little breathlessly, how can he find a way to solve the problem of trade routes at sea.

"Hehe, Brother Luo forgot who introduced you here?" Seeing Zhengliang's doubts, You Jianxia raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said lightly.

"Huh?" When Zhengliang heard this, not only was he not relieved, but he was even more puzzled and even a little suspicious. The other party seems to know a little bit about his own details. Could it be that Wang Hai completely told the other party about his situation? That's not a big deal. After all, his identity is a bit sensitive, and if he is not careful, he is even in danger of becoming a rat crossing the street, so he has always been reluctant to reveal too much about his own details. In this way, you are too passive.

"Hahaha, Brother Luo, do you suspect that the king's extrovert has revealed information that should not be revealed?" You Jianxia is really a person who travels through the rivers and lakes, and after observing the words and looks, he quickly discovered the problem. But he didn't avoid it, but spoke out generously.

Zhengliang just picked up the teacup on the table and drank the tea, without making any response to You Jianxia's question. But such an action can be regarded as acquiescing to the other party's guess. …,

"Brother Luo misunderstood Wang Yuanwai this time. Even if Brother Luo doesn't directly follow Xia Ming, he can guess one or two" You Jianxia didn't feel embarrassed by Zhengliang's silent response at all, but also picked up the teacup on the table, and after taking two sips of tea with a "coo", he said slowly, "At this time, I can do business with Wang Yuanwai from the sea, and I am still from the Ming Kingdom, presumably... I'm afraid Brother Luo is from there, right? A lot of words" After speaking, You Jianxia stretched out his hand and pointed to the west.

"Cough" Seeing the direction You Jianxia was pointing, Zhengliang almost squirted out the tea in his mouth. The other party sees him as a pirate entrenched overseas. Are you that much like a pirate? Masahiro suddenly cried and laughed a little.

"What? Did you guess wrong? After seeing Zhengliang's expression, You Jianxia immediately asked.

"No, it doesn't matter where you come from, just like what Brother You is engaged in, as long as both you and I can make a profit, it's enough" Masarashi smiled mysteriously, and then said.

"Hahaha, it's abrupt. Hey, damn it, those officials don't let people live, and my brother is desperate to get into this business. Of course, I never do anything hurtful to the heavens and reason, unlike their cannibalistic bastards," You Jianxia said heartily.

Hearing the other party's complaints, Masahiro smiled. Zhengliang couldn't help him with what happened, so he could only sympathize.

"Brother Wang's letter said, Brother You, those have some military households, and even craftsmen?" Masara continued.

"Yes, they are all poor families who are desperate, and these deals can't even guarantee their lives," You Jianxia's face was full of bitterness when he heard this.

"Oh? If you can provide them with a field for them to cultivate, I wonder if they would like to go there? Masara said with a smile. In addition to reaching a deal with the other party, Masahiro is also very concerned about some of the other party's craftsmen. Although Zhang Qian has already decided to take refuge in several craftsmen, as the territory continues to expand, in order to ensure the development of the territory and the needs of the war, the number of craftsmen will definitely continue to increase. Anyway, those craftsmen on the other side are still struggling to survive, not being taken seriously, and even being exploited, so it is better to come to themselves to play a skill.
