"I really can't think of anything that can teach Brother Ding to be interested, the southern entry and exit seaports are a cornucopia of daily income, but they are not owned by my Feng family, except for Temasek, other private ports ......"

Before he finished speaking, Ding Yi's eyes lit up.

"Temasek is under the control of your Feng family?"

"Taking advantage of the mighty momentum of the Three Treasure Eunuchs, basically there has been suppressed by more than 100 executioners of the Feng family, and the natives there can't make waves for a while, but they are very poor there, and those executioners who receive three times the salary are not very willing to stay there, and they have to send people to rotate every six months...... And there are very few ships in the past, and we can't collect any money at all, and our family plans to give up that place next year...... "This year is not the arrival of the Age of Discovery, naturally there will not be too many ships, Feng Xian is completely recognized, this is a smart man, he knows that he can't provoke Ding Yi now, so he simply poured out an ancient brain, so as not to find problems and regenerate branches when Ding Yi receives it."

Ding Yi nodded and said to him: "Go to the doctor, just like that, sell the one hundred and twenty acres of land, plus two hundred taels of silver, buy saltpeter and sulfur for me, and go to haode, otherwise the color of the fireworks will go wrong, don't blame me for not being humane; Go back and tell Uncle Shi, fifteen, if you are too anxious, twenty, send someone over to cut the supply point of Temasek, I want a detailed chart, if there is a mistake, that is, the person I sent to receive it has not returned, then it will naturally fall on the Feng family, do you understand? ”

"Little brother understands!" Feng Xian only felt relieved, and almost fainted in pain. Fang Cai can still hold on to death, and now he doesn't have to die, naturally this delicate and expensive Feng San Gongzi felt pain, but he felt that he couldn't delay for a moment, and said hurriedly, "That Peng Zhang actually went to the cousin's house in Guangxi to learn Taoism, just to hide people's eyes!" Because before the younger brother went to force Ruyu that time, Peng Zhang took the younger brother to see the commander once. ”

"Who is it?"

"I really don't know what the surname is, but that person is obviously an official, and the wind and dust servants rode a horse from Beijing to Rongcheng, and the younger brother only saw a waist card on his waist, looking at the two words of the Ministry of Rites, and the other words are not clear, there is a text number on the side of the waist card, but the person is wearing a cloak and can't see the number......"

Ding Yi frowned, you have no official position and no number, what kind of fart are you talking about?

But at this time, he heard the wind and said: "...... But the man told me and Peng Zhang, if there is any news after coming to Beijing, they can go to the head of the Ministry of Rites and the guest of the Qing Officials Division, or they can go to Lang Zhong of the Department of Rites and Rites, but they said that if there is any urgent business, they must not disturb Lord Langzhong. ”

"That's it?"

"The man told us that as long as the matter is done, there will be absolutely no problem in ensuring that we are lifted...... One of Peng Zhang's distant nephews, who worked as a cook in the house of his cousin in Guangxi, entered the kitchen through the side door, and the cook led us out through the back door...... The little brother really knows so much. Feng Xian recalled every detail and tried his best until he couldn't recruit it.

"Okay, people from the Feng family, come in and take your young master to the doctor!" Ding saw that he couldn't say anything, and when he saw the bookkeeper come in, Ding Yi said to Uncle Zhong again, "What kind of heroic order, Uncle Zhong, I'll forget it, let's reveal this matter, after all, we have read books together." Besides, I don't want to get too dirty about the things on the rivers and lakes. ”

"Yes, young master."

Feng Xian Aurora single, before leaving, he kowtowed three times, compared with his arrogance in the natural residence at that time, it was really hilarious.

When the people of the Feng family left, Uncle Zhong asked, "Young master, have you really exposed it, and you won't post hero posts?" ”

"No." Ding Yi shook his head, "Unless Uncle Zhong tells me that there is something called internal strength in this world, or after someone cuts the things underneath, he can crisscross the world with an embroidery needle in his hand, and thousands of troops are like entering a no-man's land...... "Of course, Ding Yi naturally won't let go of the third prince of Feng, but Ding Yi wants to let him live, no matter what, there is no way to kill a person twice, so Ding Yi doesn't plan to let him die now, and a tooth for a tooth is the life principle that Ding Yi believes in."

Hero post? Compared to the agreement between him and Wang Shan, it is a joke, okay? Some serial murderers may be able to make people panic, but it is not so easy to kill a large company, and there are still a lot of hands and tails in Zuihou; It would be different for the FBI, which has no checks and balances, to do it, and it is definitely not the same.

"Young master, if you don't send it, you won't send it, are you going to change your career to commenting on books? What about internal strength? An embroidery needle? Say the ghost letter? Uncle Zhong was happy, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Didn't you see Zhang Liang stabbing Qin, but also Bolangsha ambushed with a strong man and smashed it with a big iron spine?" What is the internal strength? That's what the Taoist priest deceived the emperor Lao'er, right? When the man cut those words, he was a eunuch, how could a eunuch with weak qi and blood use an embroidery needle to dominate the world? When an old man from the rivers and lakes met Zheng He, he said that he was pitiful of him, or he was an absolute martial arts wizard, but Zheng He was also fighting with swords and swords, how could there be this section you said? ”

Ding laughed, but under his guidance in the past month, Uncle Zhong finally likes to talk more than before, but he is afraid that he is also amusing when he is young, and he is willing to talk a lot.

"Uncle Zhong, how many people can you gather to Temasek?" Ding Yi interrupted the old butler, or he could go on all the way.

The old housekeeper thought for a while: "It's too old to do it, our generation, there are not many people alive, and even fewer are alive and can move; The younger generation is in their early forties and in the prime of life, and there are not many reliable children, and they all have families and businesses...... I'm afraid there are only twenty or thirty people, and most of these people have been arrested and imprisoned, and more than a dozen of them will be beheaded next year......"

"Don't be afraid, as long as it's not a rebellion, and it's not too much anger among the people, you should be able to get it." Ding Yi thought for a while, and said to Uncle Zhong, "You should first see how to contact these people, and pay attention to not saying your intentions before meeting people......

"Okay, after meeting someone, he said that he refused to go, so he naturally gave him a happy result, the old man has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, and you don't need to teach him this! But what to do overseas? Didn't you hear what the rabbit cub surnamed Feng just said? It's a poor place! Uncle Zhong was not very impatient with Ding Yi's advice.

Ding Yi smiled bitterly, he didn't say that people didn't want to go, so he killed him with a knife, okay? This is more than sixty years old, why is he still so murderous? However, Ding Yi's current situation does not allow him to have half of the heart of the Holy Mother, thinking that unless he is killed with a knife, as long as people live, they may leak the news, and they can't say that Uncle Zhong is wrong.

"I plan to take my sister-in-law, Ding Zhi, Ruyu, and Xue Ning, if Liu Tie is willing to ask Uncle Zhong to take them with me, I will stay in Temasek for three years first, and if Ding Yi's work is successful after three years, I will naturally take you back, otherwise, you will not come back." Uncle Zhong, I know what you want to say, but without you looking at them, can I rest assured? Ding Yi shook his head and motioned to Uncle Zhong not to say anything first, "Don't ask Weishenme, I can't tell me, if Uncle Zhong you have to ask, then I can only tell you that it is half of the truth that I realized from Wu Mu's suicide note, and I can only understand it but not say it." ”

"Okay, young master, three years, I think the old slave can't die, but if it takes a long time, I'm afraid it won't work, and then I may not be able to lift the knife. Internal strength or something is, but it is true that the fist is afraid of being less strong, and as soon as a person ages, it is really not as good as a year. Uncle Zhong didn't ask any more, but just confessed to Ding Yi frankly.

Ding nodded, and instructed Liu Tie outside the door: "Take my post to the Internal Affairs Office, and say that I will go to talk to Uncle Wang Shi tomorrow, and ask him to ask Uncle Wang Shi if he is free...... "The master of ceremonies and the yamen does not say that you can go to the yamen, the so-called name of the prime minister has the fact of the prime minister, is it like visiting the countryside to visit the door?" So it makes sense that everything has to be agreed in advance. This can be regarded as a privilege specially given to Ding Yi by Wang Zhen, otherwise he would be a fourth- or fifth-grade Beijing official, and he may not have such convenience.

But this time, he wanted to take the initiative to find Wang Zhen, because Uncle Zhong's twenty or thirty high-rollers were not enough, he had to dig something out from Wang Zhen's side, and now it was not too far from Zheng He's Western Ocean, sea ships, charts, sailors, etc., but I didn't know if Zheng He was still alive......

Ding Yi never thought of escaping from Daming to avoid overseas and slowly farm and develop, because to develop, there must be a certain industrial base, no matter how weak the foundation of Daming is, it is stronger than Ding Yi to open up the wasteland by himself, right? So when he first met Wang Zhen, he proposed to ask for the stubble of the sea ship, mainly to create his own needs to make Wang Zhen feel at ease; The other is to prepare a way out, in case it is really impossible to do anything, when the court deals with themselves like Wang Zhen's two nephews, then he can still go overseas to open up wasteland.

And as the Tumubao incident became more and more imminent, the need for this retreat became more and more urgent for him.

He has always been worried about how to settle the people he cares about, including Hu Shan's family. Now I have finally found a place, Singapore, which is what we call Temasek. Ding Yi didn't remember the orthodox fourteenth year in the end, and even if he remembered, he didn't know if there were people in Singapore in this year, and how the sea routes in this era had to go.

These things could not bring Ding Yi even half a cent of silver for a while, but in this era of poor information, Ding Yi found some historical benchmarks and positioning points, and also allowed Ding Yi to start to play the natural advantages of a traverser.
