Chapter 124: I Have a Dream
"The Qingcheng faction is really getting more and more disagreeable!"
The Haisha Gang divided the rudder, and several men in different clothes sat on both sides, and one of them slapped the table angrily.
A man next to him who embroidered a bamboo row on his clothes as a mark said angrily: "So what? Can you destroy them? ”
The man who spoke first glared at him, and he was about to go back immediately, but the person next to him hurriedly opened his mouth to divert the topic: "The Qingcheng faction is indeed not like words, and they hired all those coolies, so we can't find anyone to unload the goods!" ”
The other person also said indignantly: "That's it, leaving no room for it, and not looking at us Jiangdong gangs in the slightest!" ”
The man who spoke first said in a muffled voice: "Forget it, people don't even take Perak Hall and the Haisha Gang seriously, how can they look down on us people?" ”
Someone next to him said strangely: "Don't even pay attention to the Haisha Gang? No wonder we're going to meet on the ship of the Sea Sand Gang, damn Jinyiwei! Last time, I checked 300 catties of sea salt! If I hadn't been forced by them to move away, I would have to go to the Qingcheng faction to throw some poisonous smoke. ”
"Then you're dead." Someone said coldly: "Even Xuan Mingzi has disappeared since he fought with the Qingcheng faction, how much ability do you have to compare with Xuan Mingzi?" ”
The person who spoke cruelly choked for a moment, and couldn't answer the words stupidly, and the man embroidered with bamboo rows said in a gloomy voice: "Don't dream, although this is the ship of the Haisha Gang, it was borrowed by me and my brother in the Haisha Gang, and calling you gang is not to pull you against the Qingcheng faction, but to talk about a business." ”
"What business?"
The man embroidered with bamboo rows said in a low voice: "I talked to the head of the Qingcheng faction about a business......
"What? You actually colluded with that kid Huang Yu? ”
"Do you have to betray your brothers?"
"How can you do that!"
The rest of the people were in an uproar for a while, and the man embroidered with bamboo chops turned the color of pork liver, and scolded: "What nonsense? I betrayed your grandmother! Wait until I'm done! ”
His sudden outburst immediately frightened several people, and one of them said stupidly: "Say, I see if you have any reason to use." ”
The man snorted coldly: "I borrowed this boat just to ask you to go to the South Seas with me!" ”
"Down to the South Seas?" Several people were startled and lost their voices: "Are you crazy? Even on Yizhou Island, there are also natives everywhere, if you go to Nanyang, there are many aborigines like monkeys, and there is miasma everywhere, isn't it self-defeating? ”
The man smiled and said: "You also know that Huang Zhangmen's poisonous skills are unparalleled, and even Xuan Mingzi is not an opponent, so naturally there is an antidote to the miasma for us, don't underestimate Nanyang, although those monkey-like natives are ugly, but do you know what was the hottest commodity in Chang'anfang City when the Tang Dynasty was prosperous?" ”
Seeing that the other people looked dazed, the man said proudly: "I tell you, except for Orchid, it is Kunlun Nu!" Five feet tall, stout and obedient, it is one of the most sought-after commodities in the Tang Dynasty! ”
"You mean...... Catch those monkeys and sell them? ”
The man raised his eyebrows: "Yes, now the Kunlun slaves in the Western Regions have long been extinct, but not many people know the Nanyang monkeys. ”
Someone looked at him suspiciously: "How could you suddenly know so much?" Could it be that Huang Yu told you? ”
The man coughed, a little embarrassed, and said, "Yes, this idea is indeed from Master Huang, and he also offered to provide antidote to help us go to sea." ”
"It is impossible for such a good deed to go unrewarded, what is the requirement of the Qingcheng faction?"
The man snorted: "Of course, if he doesn't make a request, I'm worried that he will harm us!" His request is that every time we catch the indigenous monkeys, he must hand over a part of it to him, and he will not ask for it in vain, and is willing to buy it at the right price. ”
Several people looked at each other and muttered, "I think we still have to think about it in the long run......"
The man who spoke at the beginning snorted: "He Huang Yu has a good idea, we will take the risk, we will go out of the coolies, and the sea ban of the Ming Dynasty has not been opened yet!" But...... I think this business can be done! ”
"Huh?" Several others looked at him in amazement.
The man snorted, "What do you think I'm doing?" I got the news two days ago, many ships of the Haisha Gang suddenly went to sea, their whereabouts are unknown, they did this in the past, only to fight the Japanese invaders, but these months have been calm, where can they go? I'm afraid that Huang Yu has already moved them with the same conditions! ”
"Shhh...... What you say makes sense, but what does his Qingcheng faction want so many Nanyang monkeys for? ”
"Hmph, whatever he's used for! Are you participating? ”
"This ...... I don't think it's okay to do this business. ”
"It's okay...... it's okay"
"Hey, count me in."
……
Huang Yu was named Hua Tingbo, the future magic capital, and now Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, has actually become his fief, after all, he is a dragon hero, not as graceful as Feng Shiyi, but really gave Huating County to him, with such a foundation, the address of Qingcheng Villa was also selected in the east five miles of Huating County.
Jiangnan wealthy merchants at this time prefer mountains and rivers and forest gardens, but Huang Yu's positioning of Qingcheng Villa is not a place to escape the summer and enjoy the coolness, the future Manchu Qing Dynasty Jin merchants prefer the high-walled compound is more in line with his needs, but the world's martial arts are not declining, there are many capable people who come and go, and the idle high wall can stop the thief, but it can't stop the master who is light and indulgent.
So Huang Yu thought about it for a long time, and the whimsical memory kill made him plan to build a manor like a European-style castle, which could not reach the level of the moat like Fort Gruenward, at least not weaker than the size of Marlborough, otherwise how could it highlight the talent of my Celestial Empire's infrastructure madness.
It's just that such a huge project is not an overnight effort, Huang Yu asked Zhao Yaer to take most of the disciples to move into the prepared house in Huating County first, and the old lady Zhuang stayed in Luoyang with nostalgia, Huang Yu left Yunxiu there to accompany the old lady, and the beauty was reluctant to give up with tears on her face, but there was nothing she could do.
There are not enough tenants for tens of thousands of acres of land, and enough manpower is needed to build a mountain villa, and Huating County's forced labor this year has already been used, even if Huang Yu can suppress the place by force, he must also consider the consequences of such an act, and although those big clans in the city were shocked by him for a while, they were still waiting to see his jokes.
They don't dare to confront him head-on, but that doesn't mean they can't secretly stumble.
Huang Yu, who was in a hurry, thought about it for a long time, and then turned his brain to the black slave trade...... Of course, he didn't want to go to Africa to catch Uncle Hei, it was not only unrealistic to waste money and money, but he was targeting the natives of Yizhou Island, Ryukyu Island and Nanyang, and even the population of Fusang and even Liaodong......
