Lin Baoru pushed Liu Shulai with her elbow, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Where is the boss of this place?" ”

She looked at the few people surrounding Boss Fang, and always felt that those people were not ordinary thugs.

Liu Shulai whispered in her ear: "There are also people above, when it first started to be supported here, there were still many soldiers who came to the town." Otherwise, this is in the way of the dock, and those who run the rivers and lakes don't dare to come nonsense! ”

The two of them were whispering small words, and Lin Baoru heard a familiar voice coming.

"I'm going to take a look, where did Xiaoxiao come from, dare to make trouble here."

Lin Baoru looked up and couldn't help but be happy, daring to love was another acquaintance.

Li Yuanwai came over with a few officers and soldiers who were full of evil spirits, looked Boss Fang up and down a few times, first arched his hand to signal, and then said with a displeased expression: "Boss Fang is trying to break my rules?" ”

Boss Fang was also a little stunned, but he didn't expect that the boss behind the scenes in this place was actually Li Yuanwai from Sanlipo. If you want to talk about Li Yuan's foreign, he really can't look down on it, and he doesn't know where he got the fields and family business.

In addition, his only daughter who has been divorced twice and is making trouble and leaving is even more of a conversation after dinner.

Where can such a person be in charge of such a place?

Boss Fang's face was ugly, and he didn't return the salute, and said twice: "Who was I at that time, it turned out to be Li Yuanwai from Sanlipo." You don't guard the fields in Sanlipo, what do you come here to take? ”

Li Yuanwai looked at him and knew that this person with a face with nostrils facing the sky was actually just pretending, and he was already looking bad at this time.

He has never had a good impression of this kind of person who is strong on the outside and dry in the middle.

When he spoke again, of course he didn't show mercy, "If you don't take it big, you won't bother Boss Fang to worry about it." But if anyone breaks our rules, then they have to talk about it. ”

When he said this, he looked at the guy who was standing respectfully on the side, and scolded: "Do you still need me to teach you these things? But whoever makes trouble, no matter who it is, will be sent directly to the yamen. If you dare to make a move, you just have to say hello, and the officers and soldiers guarding around are not decorations! ”

The guy nodded again and again, "Remember, little one, I will never do it again next time." The boss of that side ......"

"Naturally, he can do whatever he wants, and if he sincerely wants to buy it, then he will pay for it, and the money will be paid. If you don't have enough money, you can go with him. If you ......" Li Yuanwai glanced at Boss Fang meaningfully, and said with a smile, "If we deliberately come to find bad luck, we should go to the yamen and go to the yamen, and we should go to the public court!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Boss Fang's face turned completely brown.

And the few people who came with him directly looked for their heads and got out of the way, how could anyone still think of the same enemy with him after seeing those officers and soldiers and the menacing Li Yuanwai?

In the final analysis, the other people are just from better families, and they are wealthy families when they reach the sky. If you want to make up a few thousand taels of silver, you can do it, but so far, even if they can come up with that bit of silver, they will not risk offending the officers and soldiers and the government.

Boss Fang was difficult to ride a tiger, and wanted to hold on to his neck, but under the sight of those fierce officers and soldiers, he was inexplicably weak and timid.

In this way, he could only comfort himself that he was a good man not to suffer the immediate loss, and turned his face to Li Yuanwai and said: "Li Yuanwai said this, I really want to buy this big man." It's just that I didn't have enough money on my body, so I thought about it, and I had a relationship with my buddies to bargain. ”

Li Yuanwai saw that his attitude changed, and then nodded and said, "That's because I misunderstood, and I can't make a deal with Boss Fang here." In this way, I am in charge of this big piece of silver, and sell it to Boss Fang for nine hundred and fifty taels of silver. What does Boss Fang think? ”

Now, no matter how arrogant Boss Fang is, what can he do? Besides, now he doesn't have the slightest insolent capital.

Before, he just felt that a little guy didn't admit it, and he didn't dare to say anything.

But I didn't expect that there were still officers and soldiers guarding here, and they were not afraid of the yamen at all.

As a businessman, Boss Fang couldn't guess the reason. I'm afraid that there is still an inside story here, at least not a place that the county government can control.

Thinking of this, he thanked him again and again. Even though he was in pain because of the more than 900 taels of silver that he was about to sell, he could only smile and be polite to Li Yuanwai with a smile on his face.

After this matter was settled, Li Yuanwai explained a few words to a few officers and soldiers around him, and then strode to Liu Shulai and Lin Baoru.

"Liu Dashao, young lady, I knew you were coming, I should have asked Yufeng to come and take a look." Li Yuanwai was originally full of gratitude to Lin Baoru, but now that he sees it, how can he pretend not to know?

Liu Shulai arched his hand and said with a smile: "If you know that Master Li can speak here, then you should carry your name and let people give you the price." As he spoke, he also glanced at Lin Baoru with a painful face, and said regretfully, "It's a pity, we have bought everything that should be bought." ”

Li Yuanwai is not a petty person, and he laughed when he heard this, "Let Liu Dashao and the young lady break the bank, then why don't I do it at noon, and invite the two of you to taste the whole fish banquet on our dock?" It just so happens that Yufeng's girl will come over in a while. ”

Speaking of Li Yufeng, he couldn't help but look at Lin Baoru with a smile, "It's been a long time, but she always wants to find the young lady to talk for a while." ”

I don't know what my daughter said to the young lady of the Liu family, but after returning home, her horizons have broadened a lot. For the gossip and ridicule outside, his daughter is even more disdainful, compared with previous years, it seems much more transparent and open-minded.

Li Yuanwai, who was born as a soldier, saw his daughter change like this, how could he not be happy in his heart?

He fought on the battlefield in the first half of his life, so that even if he covered it up, his temperament was wide open. Such a person naturally hopes that his daughter will be a person who can afford to put it down. At the very least, don't dwell on what happened to you.

And this time, after his daughter went home, she not only wanted to be resolute and resolute with Lin Youzhi. It's no longer the same as before, with a sad face from time to time.

Anyway, no matter what he said, after hearing too much of the young lady of the Liu family mentioned by the girl, he understood that most of the girl was woken up by the young lady.

Regarding Li Yuanwai's invitation, Liu Shulai and Lin Baoru naturally did not refuse. First, it was noon here, and secondly, there was Li Yufeng's relationship.

Lin Baoru really wants to get together with Li Yufeng, since he crossed over, there has never been such a like-minded person. And, to be honest, she really doesn't have a close friend who can talk to her heart here.

Li Yuanwai took the two of them to a house where he disposed of it, and then ordered someone to go to the dock to buy some fish, and let the kitchen make a whole fish feast.

"You don't always have a master's name, but you can call it alive. If you don't dislike it, just call me uncle? Li Yuanwai looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "Maybe we can still communicate often in the future." ”

Liu Shulai and Lin Baoru were as good as flowing, and changed their name to Uncle Li.

As for the frequent contacts, Li Yuanwai did not hide his thoughts, "I won't hide it from you, the business of this dock has to be somewhat blocked in the past, but I am afraid that there will be changes in the future." ”

Liu Shulai and Lin Baoru glanced at each other, and each had a guess in his heart.

Liu Shulai said with a smile: "Since Uncle Li doesn't treat us as outsiders, why don't you let me guess first?" Although the imperial court had a maritime ban before, the government had a merchant ship that specialized in maritime trade. Moreover, Uncle Li can run a market here that specializes in foreign goods, which should be acquiesced by the government. ”

"And some time ago, I heard that we are interested in establishing a city...... Isn't it, the imperial court intends to lift the sea ban? ”

He also heard people talk about these things when he was having fun in various fields. I don't know if it's true or not, but now that he has changed what Li Yuanwai said, he probably has a bottom in his heart.

Li Yuanwai couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard him say this. He glanced at Liu Shulai a few times, and said in his heart that this Liu Mansion is really amazing, the young lady can do a prosperous business, and this so-called ruined family is also a brilliant brain.

Even if it was him, he was only secretly in charge of the dock here according to the general's orders. At that time, how could he have thought that when he went home to be a clerk, he took him to be a robe brother in the dock in secret, so that he could open the sea and ban the layout?

Even today's market for imported goods is for the sake of temptation. It is probably the officials of the DPRK and China who want to see what kind of benefits the caravan that goes south to the sea can bring to the DPRK.

But since Liu Shulai said it, he had nothing to hide.

"That's true, but I don't know why. However, it can be said that if the sea ban is really lifted, the first private person who can bring merchant ships to sea is probably us. Li Yuanwai hesitated for a moment, and then explained, "Actually, strictly speaking, we are not suitable for caravans to go to sea. However, before, I just wanted to see if this was feasible with a few adults, so I couldn't form a caravan of the government in the two vast places. Therefore, we can only build a pier near the sea......"

"And now, the caravans of the imperial court have been going to sea for many years, and the routes have been explored, so some adults have proposed that private merchant ships be allowed to go to sea in a small area. Earlier, I got a letter from the old general, saying that this range should be in Honshu. Of course, even if the merchant ship is owned by the merchant, it will be controlled by the yamen......"

No matter how specific it is, he can't tell it, and to be honest, he just knows it.

"I'm thinking that when the time comes, the things produced by your workshop can be transported to the South Seas with the caravan. Over there, silk fabrics, tea spices, and rouge gouache are scarce......"

In this way, they can trade with the Nanyang Kingdom for ivory, ivory, rhino horn, tortoiseshell and other precious and exotic things with the things of their own dynasty. Goods. Even, use these things to earn back the money outside.

The so-called coming of all nations to the dynasty does not only rely on force......

Just like in the early Tang Dynasty, even when the kingdom was weak, there was still "tributary trade".

Lin Baoru didn't know a lot about the situation in this dynasty, and now listening to Li Yuanwai and Liu Shulai's words, she has already set off a lot of waves in her heart.

If this is the case, then as long as you take the ship of overseas trade, then whether it is the Lin family's workshop or the Liu Mansion, the future is really immeasurable.

It's just that......

She glanced at Li Yuanwai with some suspicion, such a big favor is by no means good.

There is no pie in the sky, even if he saved Li Yufeng at the beginning, he will not let Li Yuan send such a big benefit.

In other words, the risk of this matter may be greater than the opportunity......

The first person to eat crabs, how can it be so easy?
