Chapter 25: Madness I
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ……”
Zhao Jiaxin and Zhao Yong rushed to Zhao Jiaren's side, and one of them grabbed Zhao Jiaren's arm. However, Zhao Jiaren shook hard, and both of them felt a strong force coming from Zhao Jiaren's slender arm, making their arms almost shaken apart.
"Third brother......" Zhao Jiaxin shouted anxiously in a low voice.
"I'm restless, smashing things and getting angry. It's like I'm crazy to do that. There is a wonderful heat in Zhao Jiaren's voice, and it also gives people a very rational feeling.
However, Zhao Jiaxin and Zhao Yong did not dare to let go of Zhao Jiaren, not long ago, Zhao Jiaren first kicked the bulkhead in the cabin, and then kicked the tables and chairs in the cabin. Then he rushed to the deck and kicked and threw the rope he could pick up and throw it onto the deck. Before Zhao Jiaxin and Zhao Yong grabbed Zhao Jiaren, he carried a stick and smashed it against the side of the ship.
Zhao Jiaxin had never seen his younger brother so irritable. has lived for more than 20 years, and Zhao Jiaxin has never seen such irritable behavior as his younger brother. Although Zhao Jiaren's voice sounded very rational, Zhao Jiaxin couldn't believe it at all.
Zhao Jiaren also stopped struggling, his eyes staring at the ship in the distance. From the flag of the ship, it can be seen that it is the boat of the Pu family. A killing intent passed through Zhao Jiaren's nerves like an electric current, making Zhao Jiaren's heart burn uncomfortably. He pressed his eyes and used his breathing as evenly as possible to calm the impact of his fast-beating heart. The stimulation and impulse brought by the killing intent began to weaken, and Zhao Jiaren suddenly felt as if the stimulation had become a situation of being itched, he couldn't help but laugh out loud at first, and then laughed out loud. Although he smiled heartily, Zhao Jiaren left two lines of tears in the corners of his eyes.
Zhao Jiaxin and Zhao Yong exchanged a frightened look, and they didn't dare to let go of Zhao Jiaren.
Twelve hours ago, the port of Fuzhou.
Zhao Jiaren only carried a small package in a relaxed manner, and said goodbye to Qi Ye at the dock.
"Brother Zhao, are you sure that you will be able to deliver the medicinal powder next year?" It can be seen that Qi Ye cares very much about this business.
"Brother Qi, please rest assured, I will inform you about the situation after New Year's Day next year." Zhao Jiaren also caressed Qi Ye's emotions as much as possible. Pyrethrum was sown in May and June of the Song calendar, two or three months away. The land boundary of Fuqing County is not small, and the level of arable land belongs to the standard level of Fujian. It's about nine points of the mountain and one part of the field. Zhao Jiaren needs to hire people to cultivate hundreds of acres of land that is more suitable for growing pyrethrums. Because of his lack of experience, Zhao Jiaren did not know whether his prediction would succeed.
Qi Ye saw that Zhao Jiaren's words were not leaky, so he could only choose to stop here. He changed the subject, "Brother Zhao, since the person who repaired the ship has been found, I wonder if you will come with the ship at that time?" ”
"Of course we have to come along." Zhao Jiaren will be very happy, but the emotions in his heart are far from being as refreshing as they seem on the surface. The sum of the 1,000 guan earned when Xiu Mulan Pi Beiyang and the 180 guan earned by selling medicinal powder this time is not a small amount for the current Great Song Dynasty. It's just that this money pays for the cost of pyrethrum obtained by Arab merchants, so that Zhou Qing can open a blacksmith shop, buy damaged broken ships, and then find craftsmen who can send the repaired broken ships to Fuzhou for complete repair and transformation. After shaving all kinds of expenses, Zhao Jiaren only had money left to buy a few hundred catties of gunpowder.
As for hiring sailors and buying sails, I still don't know where the money will come from. It will probably have to be shipped in large quantities next year.
However, Zhao Jiaren still looked like he was doing nothing. He is a fourteen-year-old doll, and he completely relies on his own ability to toss such a big fortune, and there is no reason to be ashamed of himself. Zhao Jiaren asked with this confidence: "Brother Qi, if I confirm the harvest next year, can I come to you and lend some money to turn it around?" ”
"Absolutely." Qi Ye replied very briskly. When Zhao Jiaren was the county lieutenant of Putian County, he was probably poor, and he was able to lend money to buy gunpowder. Now Zhao Jiaren's net worth is far from being comparable to that of the past, and just a ship can be worth hundreds of times. Now Zhao Jiaren is the county lieutenant of Fuqing County, and there are many opportunities to make money through shipping.
After confirming the news they needed, the two shook hands and parted. Zhao Jiaren got on the boat and leaned on the side of the boat to look. His face suddenly changed drastically, and he saw several boats flying the logo of the Pujia family in Quanzhou and sailing into the wharf outside the water gate of Fuzhou.
Zhao Jiaren knows very well that impulsiveness is not good for his current self. However, this is just the thought of the brain when the body is calm. The strong impression of death was deeply engraved in Zhao Jiaren's nerves, and seeing the flag of the Pu family immediately touched these memories and inspired those pains. Enduring the pain as if he could burn his body, Zhao Jiaren escaped from the cabin. He closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Nine hours ago
The ship sailed out of the port of Fuzhou, sailed out of the Minjiang River, and entered the vast sea. Zhao Jiaxin finally went down from the deck to the cabin. Just now he stood on the deck and watched the scenery. The scene of Fuzhou, the appearance of the Minjiang River, and the blue sky, white clouds, and seagulls on the sea. Although it is monotonous, Zhao Jiaxin does not get on the boat every day, so he takes a look at it and relaxes his heart.
When I got out of the cabin, I saw that my brother, who had been a little strange not long ago, had sat up. Zhao Jiaxin asked casually, "Do you feel uncomfortable?" ”
"Big brother. I don't feel sick in any way. I just suddenly wanted to ask you, what do you think is the difference between our people in Da Song and people in other places. Zhao Jiaren's voice was slightly dry. So after saying that, he picked up the bowl and took a sip of water. The fiery thoughts in his mind made Zhao Jiaren feel that he was almost going to smoke.
"What's the difference?" Zhao Jiaxin remembers that he seemed to have thought about this question before. This may seem like a simple question, but in fact it seems to be very simple. Subconsciously frowning slightly, Zhao Jiaxin thought for a while before replying: "Our people from the Great Song Dynasty are finally official." Those outside the Great Song Dynasty are their own masters. ”
"Now there are also many foreigners, as well as people from the former Liao State and Jin State, who came to the Great Song Dynasty. Do you think they are from the Great Song Dynasty? Zhao Jiaren continued to ask.
"This ...... As long as they are loyal to the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, they are naturally the people of the Great Song Dynasty. With the previous theoretical thinking, Zhao Jiaxin quickly gave the answer this time, and he was even able to make some derivative views based on this theory, "But those people are not very reliable, because many of them only run to defect for their own safety." Many people are not loyal to the official family at all, and if they feel that they can't get benefits here in the Great Song Dynasty, they will probably have two hearts. Something has happened before. ”
Zhao Jiaren knew what his brother was referring to. After the Jin destroyed the Liao and the Mongols destroyed the Jin, there were established Liao people and Jin people who defected to the Song Dynasty, and later they rebelled and defected to the old story of destroying the country.
If it was before, Zhao Jiaren would probably be satisfied with what his brother said. At this time, Zhao Jiaren was in high spirits, he waited patiently for the eldest brother to finish speaking, and immediately said, "I thought it was otherwise." Why are Song people different from people from other countries? Because the Song people were born and grew up in Si. The Song people should have the responsibility of defending the land. If you are only loyal to the official family, it will inevitably happen to the Zhao family's southern crossing. There were only a few soldiers and horses in the Jin Kingdom back then, and the people in Hebei, Shandong and other places could rise up to kill the enemy, but the few people in the Jin Kingdom were not enough to kill! ……”
Zhao Jiaxin looked at his younger brother's serious expression, he originally had some calmness unique to his eldest brother on his face, but after listening to it for a while, Zhao Jiaxin's face was embarrassed at first, and then showed a trace of panic.
The younger brother's words clearly revealed his opinion, in addition to the Zhao family, the people of the Great Song Dynasty also needed to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty itself. Judging from what his younger brother Zhao Jiaren said, the priority of loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty is even higher than that of the Zhao family.
Such a statement also existed in the Great Song Dynasty. But Zhao Jiaxin has only read a few words in some books. That kind of impact can't be compared with the impact brought by Zhao Jiaren. And Zhao Jiaxin was stunned to find one thing, his younger brother Zhao Jiaren seemed to really believe this......
