Chapter 101: Xu Dong returns

Zhu Houhuang got up tremblingly, barely supporting his body, and was about to write a letter to Zhengde and pick up the pen, but he didn't know what to say.

In the past six months, he has thoroughly known what it means to start a business. The world is never a map, just use a pen to open up the map. Nothing is easy to do. Looking back on everything now, there is a feeling of a thousand words, but nothing can be said for a while. Just as Zhu Houhuang was pondering how to ask Zhengde for help, he suddenly heard a noisy cheer.

It was originally a group of people chanting, but then it became a lot of people chanting. Even this pure place here can't be avoided. Zhu Houhuang couldn't help frowning.

Tang Yin immediately glanced out of the door, and the person guarding the door hurriedly went out to see how he went back, and before a moment, the doorkeeper stumbled the door and came in, saying, "Your Highness, Lord Xu pushed the door back." ”

The pen in Zhu Houhuang's hand suddenly fell to the ground, dotted a cloud of ink marks on the white paper, and said, "What? Who did you say came back. ”

"It's Lord Xu's fleet back."

Happiness came too fast, and Zhu Houhuang almost couldn't believe it for a while. He gritted his teeth and said, "Quick, help me up and have a look." "The place where Zhu Houhuang lives is the lighthouse. From here, you can see the sea outside, and the view is excellent.

Yunmo said: "Your Highness, just go up and take a look, Your Highness's illness is not yet well, and going up to blow the wind is not good for your health." ”

Zhu Houhuang shook his head and said, "If I don't see Xu Dong's fleet, how can I recuperate with peace of mind." ”

Zhu Houhuang was very stubborn, and the people here couldn't stop him, so they had to let several people roll up Zhu Houhuang with quilts and lift him to it.

Zhu Houhuang looked from afar, but saw a fleet of more than a dozen boats, slowly stopping towards the Dayuan Wharf.

Zhu Houhuang took a closer look, but found that these ships were not only Chinese style, but also several Western styles, I am afraid that this one did not know that it was Xu Dong's fleet.

Zhu Houhuang couldn't help laughing and said, "Quickly call Xu Dong to see me." ”

Yun Mo was afraid that Zhu Houhuang's condition would recur again, so he immediately said, "Okay, okay, Your Highness." Let's go down. Master Xu arrived in a while. ”

It was like coaxing a child, coaxing Zhu Houhuang down. Zhu Houhuang went down for a while, and just after lying on the bed, a few people came in, it was Xu Dong, Wu Fengyi and his party. Xu Dong's face was full of vicissitudes, and as soon as he came in, he knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness, the minister is worthy of his mission." ”

Zhu Houhuang was just about to get up and go to help Xu Dong, but he was held down by Yunmo. Zhu Houhuang had no choice but to say: "Xu Qing invited." ”

Zhu Houhuang waited for Xu Dong and Wu Fengyi to sit down before asking, "What is the danger of this trip to Nanyang?" ”

Xu Dong and Wu Fengyi glanced at each other, and Xu Dong said: "This trip to Nanyang, there is no danger, although the Francophile has the heart of a tiger and a wolf, but the ministers are not vegetarians, the two sides have a round or two, they know that they can't eat us, so they honestly do business with us." Just a storm encountered on the way back. ”

The two of them said it easily, but Zhu Houhuang also knew that there were many dangers, and only if they were equal in strength could they have the possibility of trading. There is absolutely no peace between a wolf and a sheep.

Zhu Houhuang asked, "How is the storm?" Are there any casualties? ”

Even at this moment, when Xu Dong and Wu Fengyi mentioned the storm, they still had palpitations, and Xu Dong said: "Fortunately, there are not too many casualties, only one boat is missing." Speaking of casualties, Xu Dong felt a gloom in his heart, and said: "There are about 50 people, no one alive or dead. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "All those who die because they go to sea must be well settled." For a while, Zhu Houhuang didn't think about how to settle the law well, he turned his head to look at Tang Yin with a violent cough, Yunmo immediately came to stroking Zhu Houhuang's chest and patting his back, only then did he suppress his cough and said, "Mr. Tang, this matter will be handed over to you." ”

"Yes." Tang Yin agreed. Anyway, there were not many people who died in the last battle with the natives. also needs to be bereavement, he handled it, and he is already familiar with it.

The following is what Zhu Houhuang is most concerned about, and said: "How much did you earn from this trip to Nanyang." ”

Xu Dong couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he thought of such a large amount, and said, "Because of the loss of one boat, there are losses on every ship." The specific number still needs to be calculated by good students, but this trip has a net income of about 100,000 taels.

"One hundred thousand taels." Tang Yin was taken aback, he had heard Zhu Houhuang talk about the benefits and disadvantages of commercial trade, but he never thought that even after losing a ship, the entire fleet would have an income of 100,000 taels. That's 100,000 taels, and some poor provinces don't pay as much as 100,000 taels a year. And this is only the first trip, if the trade is expanded in the future, the net income of each trade, even if it is 10,000 taels, can support Zhu Houhuang's great expansion on Dongyong Island.

For a while, Tang Yin's eyes looking at Zhu Houhuang were a little wrong.

Zhu Houhuang's heart is much more down-to-earth. Standing at the cusp of the times, even a pig can be blown into the sky, and what he chooses now is this big tuyere. Such a big gain, he had expected it. It's one thing to just anticipate it, it's another thing to actually hear it. Zhu Houhuang still couldn't help but be overjoyed, there were so many silver taels in Zhu Houhuang's hands, so that he had enough courage to throw money at Dongyong.

His plan to build a country in Dongyong was tightly fastened with the last link.

"But there is one more thing I want to tell Your Highness." Wu Fengyi said.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Houhuang felt a little relaxed. Asked.

"This time I came back, and the Franc machine man also came, and now I am in the port, what should I do?"

Zhu Houhuang frowned and said, "What do they want to do?" ”

Wu Fengyi said: "Listen to that Tomei, it's trade. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Since it is trade, just buy the things they brought and send them away." Zhu Houhuang felt a little dizzy, and said: "But remember, this is not tributary trade, forget it, let Xu Dong do it, and slaughter it fiercely." ”

Xu Dong said, "Yes, Your Highness." His voice paused slightly, and he said, "It's just that Tomi said that he was a friend of His Highness, and His Highness saw it or not." ”

"Nope." Zhu Houhuang felt that his brain was getting more and more groggy, and said, "I am lonely and sick, and I don't have time to see it." ”

Yunmo sensed that something was wrong with Zhu Houhuang, and immediately probed Zhu Houhuang's head, only feeling that it was like touching a piece of coal. Yunmo suddenly shouted and said, "Li Langzhong, Li Langzhong." ”

This Li Langzhong is also a person with eyes, and he knows that he is talking about big things at this time. You can't get in the way here. Just waiting outside, hearing Yunmo's shout, he immediately ran in, and as soon as he touched Zhu Houhuang's hand, before he had time to probe the pulse, he felt that Zhu Houhuang's hand was as cold as iron, and as soon as he checked the pulse, his face immediately turned cold.

Tang Yin asked, "What happened to Your Highness?" ”

Li Langzhong said angrily: "Your Highness's illness is inherently tricky, if you recuperate with peace of mind, there is still a chance of recovery, but after His Highness is sick, although he is recuperating, he has been busy and consumed. After today's great sorrow and joy, it can't be supported. ”

Yunmo said: "Your Highness, he ---" Yunmo said halfway through, and he couldn't help but sob.

Li Langzhong said: "I am incapable of His Highness's illness, but now I immediately invite a famous doctor to diagnose and treat it, and it can still be saved." ”

Wu Fengyi asked, "Who are you looking for, who are you looking for?" ”

Li Langzhong smiled bitterly: "The famous doctors I know and know are all in Beijing, but I don't know the famous doctors in the south." ”

"Leave this matter to me." Tang Yin said: "The old man is still a little famous in Jiangnan, and he still knows some famous doctors. ”

Wu Fengyi said: "In this case, without further ado, Mr. Tang will set off with him, and talk about what he has on the way." Wu Fengyi, as Zhu Houhuang's uncle, cared about him the most, and when Zhu Houhuang was critically ill, because his identity had more say than ordinary people, he looked at Wu Xingzhi and said, "Wu Xingzhi, I'll leave it to you here." ”
