Chapter Ninety-One: They Really Have a Lot of Money
It is said that the security team members organized within two days, and after simply doing adaptive training, they were about to set off.
When they were leaving, there was no pledge meeting, and there was no farewell ceremony, so they had to set off so casually. It's like going to a small Ryukyu Island dozens of miles away.
This made He Bin and Guo Huaiyi, who were in the same vein, full of emotion.
Even if a young pirate goes to sea once, he has to kill a chicken and ask for a celebration. But when such a large army set out, there was not even a guard of honor to see off. Not even as enthusiastic as the ceremony that greeted the arrival of a few women and children some time ago, a few people waved their hands on the dock and it was over.
One of the silent men who saw them off was Pastor Farnberg.
He had come to see off Pastor Daniel, and yesterday they had discussed it all day, and finally decided that they still wanted to go, and that the believers of God could not be allowed to disappear so casually. In addition, the two old guys who claimed to serve God wholeheartedly always felt that there was a deep meaning in Director Sun's words. But they who are far away from the world can't figure it out, maybe someone in Tamsui and Keelung can understand, right?
The younger Pastor Daniel Nee insisted on going alone, saying, "My brother, no matter what, we will shine the light of the Lord here. No matter how hard it is, no matter how scary, you have to stick with it here. β
He Bin and Guo Huai had been lying on the railing of the Zishui, looking down at Pastor Vanberg, who had been tall in their eyes, but now ridiculously short. Of course, it's all lined up by this big ship.
"Lao He, they really don't care about those red-haired people, but they are suspected of underestimating the enemy?"
"Is it to underestimate the enemy, but they still have a hand to prepare...... At that time, I expected that they would not care about the two red-haired plywood boats, and they would hand them over to the two of us to practice and control, and there would be a backhand. β
He Bin said with a sigh.
A few days ago, a fisherman secretly told them that there was a boat as big as a mountain parked at the mouth of Tamsui Creek. This fisherman was the one who helped the Han Tang Group deliver goods from the base of the estuary to the greater city of Geranza.
He Bin asked curiously at the time: "A ship as big as a mountain?" Comparable to Zichuan and Zishui? β
"Big knots, a few bigger than them."
He Bin rewarded the person with doubts.
"If there is something like this again, report it quickly, there will be a reward."
"The little one understands, the little one understands." The fishermen left happily, who is not happy to have a reward? Completely ignoring himself, he left the big doubts to the two knots.
The two of them have been making up their brains for a long time, and they really can't imagine what the big ones can become. I simply took a fishing boat and decided to go and see it for myself.
Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and the ancients knew it for a long time, but future generations still have to study seriously for such a long time, which may be unthinkable for the two.
Now, the waters in this area have returned to calm, and from time to time you can see fishing boats busy. It was natural for them to pay the tax to the traversers, which was still the tithe, but the traversers only needed a tenth of the total catch, not a tenth of the estimated value. In this way, the fishermen are happy, this Hantang group is really stupid, mullet and other fish catch is the same tax law, haha.
There are also fishing boats hired by the traversers to deliver red bricks, red tiles, white ash, wood and bamboo. The wages are all for real money. It's also very tempting, you can make money by fishing, and you can also make money by making deliveries, which is great. However, it is quite difficult to get hired. What they didn't expect was that just a month later, they would almost die.
In this season, it is a good wind to go down to the mouth of the Tamsui Creek from the great city of Gerancho, and it is a good wind, walking along the coast, how can the ordinary fortune boat arrive in a day and a night, of course, it will take some trouble to come back.
When they arrived at the estuary base, He Bin and Guo Huaiyi unconsciously shouted in unison. OMG!
Is that a ship? That's the mountain!
If the city of Geranza had not been built on a hillside, the bow of the ship would have been higher than the wall; If its hull could go ashore, it would be longer than a street; If the tall shelves on the ship could reach the mountain, it would be even taller than the sacred tree on the jade mountain.
"It's all iron! How many weapons can be crafted! It's not enough to use the iron of the entire Ming Dynasty, right?! Guo Huaiyi wailed. He had seen the Purple River, and the Purple Water knew that they were all made of iron.
He Bin wanted to open the folding fan of the Japanese Kingdom and pretend to be well-informed, but his fingers were a little trembling, and he didn't open it all of a sudden, and fell on the deck of the ship with a "snap".
"No wonder they look at us with pity...... I thought they were arrogant...... They're really a lot of money......"
He Bin sighed in his heart, not knowing that something was broken in his chest.
They had just adapted to the enormity of the Purple Water and the Purple River, and were familiar with its galloping speed, its beast-like roar, and its city-like hull...... But what are these compared to the current one?
When the two of them returned to the red-haired plywood boat on the dock of the city of Geranza in despair, they did not regain their fatigue for several days, but they felt that they could not keep up their spirits and lost interest in operating the red-haired plywood boat.
What else are you practicing? The bow of the mountain pressed against us, and the waves knocked us all over without hitting us. What other presence do we have?
The first to wake up was He Bin, he suddenly thought, these people want huge ships and huge ships, and they want to drive and drive, but they are short of people, otherwise why do they use us in every possible way? Let them steer the red-haired plywood ship? They must have something else to do, and they slowly probed a ......
When he asked Gao De Gao about the huge ship from the side, Gao De Gao said disapprehantly: "What is that? It's only about 10,000 tons, and we have all ...... of 50,000 hundreds of thousands of tons."
"Oh, don't talk about it......" He Bin hid his face and left, not wanting to listen.
It's not that he doesn't believe it, but he believes too much.
When Zhou Fu repeatedly mentioned Gao Degao Gongzi in the second-floor Xingxi area, He Bin also drew an arc in his heart. They took the opportunity of leading a group of brothers to practice manipulating the red-haired plywood boat on the dock, and took advantage of Zhou Fu's relationship to deliberately have more contacts with Gao Degao's son, and even after Zhou Fu returned to Guangzhou, he also hosted a banquet on the red-haired plywood many times.
This person will come whenever he is invited, and he will do it with a drink. And there is no way to talk about it, just say it if you want to, comparable to Guo Huaiyi.
Will Zhou Fu Weishenme return to the mainland? Zhou Fu himself flickered, his words were unknown, he didn't figure out anything, he only heard a haha sound.
But on the side of Gao De and Gao Gongzi, He Bin had a banquet, a drink, and a few words of temptation, and Gao De Gao said everything...... It turned out to be an exchange for women.
As soon as Guo Huai heard this, he put the wine bowl down heavily, and he also opened his mouth to come: "Artillery, a heavy weapon in the army, cannot be obtained unless it is a thousand gold, and it cannot be easily shown in ordinary times." Listen to what you say, just because of the woman, you can-?!! Well?!!! β
Guo Huaiyi's mouth was full of teeth and was about to be crushed.
If he didn't know what Gao Degao's identity as an "electric father" meant, Guo Huai would have scolded angrily early in the morning. But he vaguely felt that Gao Degao Gongzi seemed to be related to something that could be bright, and his status must be quite important, so all his anger was suppressed. By the way, what should Guo Huaiyi do with the artillery of the traversers?
However, why did this virtuous and high-ranking son climb up and down alone, working as hard as coolies? Still carrying a row of various items around your waist? However, these people are all working for everyone, and I heard that their chairman even stripped off his shirt and ploughed the ground himself...... It's incredible.
Gao De Gao Gongzi has actually introduced the use of various objects to the Ming people a long time ago, and he really doesn't care about saying it ten or eight times. He likes it.
It is precisely because of these ten times and eight times that He Bin has complete trust in him. Because, Gao Degao's explanation is the same every time, and even his expression and face have not changed.
What's even more unbearable is that he actually said that the daughter of Antarctica's big city looked down on him, so that he couldn't get married!
Maybe it's a test of what to do about it?
He Bin also thought deeply about this for a while. Cousin, women from good families are all in the question, as long as they are not the daughters of famous families, this problem is easy to solve, but we must find out his true intentions, and the result - forget it, when Gao De Gao Gongzi said more and more, this idea disappeared, what he said was true, and he didn't hint at anything.
It's really strange, in the big city of Antarctica, there are ordinary women who dare to look down on the "electric man"! What can those ordinary women look up to? Merchant? Money?
At the wine table, He Bin looked at the person's angry look, listened to the person's sad words, and believed it out of ten.
He Bin suddenly had a little balance in his heart, you have a burst of fire, a burst of artillery, all kinds of objects that we can't understand, hum, do you have the right to husband? What is the reason why ordinary women can judge men's character and dare to speak ill of Diangong and hurt others? It is human nature for women to love money and villains to be profitable, but how can they be so optimistic about the status of businessmen?
This man is not of high mind, but he is extremely honest. He Bin made an evaluation of Gao De and Gao Gongzi in his heart.
But it was terrible that such a man should have the utmost contempt for the great ship he saw!
There are dozens of bigger ones than it? The expression on the face of Gao Degao Gongzi was as innocent as a child, so this was terrifying, He Bin ran away after hearing it.
Since then, they have been following all the arrangements of the traversers, and they have been obedient ones.
He Bin patted the railing of the Zishui, this is real iron.
He Bin said softly to Guo Huaiyi: "Old Guo, find an opportunity to dedicate the "Platform Strategy" to them, alas, after more than ten years of hard thinking, it is so easy to giveββ"
"Will they want it?" Guo Huai panicked as soon as he said this, how could he say such a thing casually?! hurriedly chased after him and said, "Lao He, Lao He, don't go!" β
January 20, 1649, 8 o'clock.
In the long whistle of the whistle, in the send-off song of "Ah Friend Zaijian", the Zishui passenger and cargo ship officially departed. It will face the northeast monsoon and run directly to the northern region of Taiwan.
In the Mingren rest area, He Bin, who was panting, said: "Can you tell the little ones not to act recklessly? β
"I've told you many times -- Lao He, you are not as calm as before -- back then, he Taishi Zheng left us in Taiwan, and you were not angry; When the red fur came for a while, they turned the fields into their royal fields, and you were not angry. But, weishenme, you are easily angry now? β
After He Bin calmed down, he said: "Taishi Zheng left us, we can open up a world like hands and feet; The red fur came, and they just asked for money. But when they came, what did they want? β
"I want a woman!" Guo Huaiyi blurted out, and then said weakly, "Lao He, don't look at me like that, I know I said the wrong thing again, can't I listen to you?" β
He Bin was very satisfied with Guo Huaiyi's attitude, and he said slowly: "They want to discipline us - but they don't want to come directly, I have never been able to figure out whether they give those coolies so much wages weishenme?" Even you've heard that their chairman is shirtlessβ"
"If you can't figure it out, we don't want to, they're much better than the red-haired fan, right? It's much stronger than the Zheng family, right? β
He Bin said appreciatively: "You know what I mean. β
