Chapter 243: The Dongying People in Jiangnan (Part II)

The chart is very important to the future department store, Liu Han didn't want to get his hands dirty, so he threw Xu Wei to Zhou Se and Lu Qiao, and asked the two to interrogate Xu Wei.

Xu Wei confessed that the chart was hidden in his family's secret room and had been found. Zhou Se frowned and smiled, this can be regarded as a heart disease.

Liu Han nodded, the government didn't open Xu Wei's mouth, but they did, what means were used, it goes without saying, however, this is not what Liu Han cares about.

"The chart was sent immediately, and the imperial court wanted to make a few copies, which General Mantong would need in the future. ”

Zhou Se naturally didn't object, and Liu Han asked again: "Do you know Yamada?"

The two exchanged glances with each other, and Gu Tong replied: "I am more familiar with him, I have been to Wu County, this person is more impatient and rude in speech, he and Ono are completely different types, Ono is actually mainly here to study, business is incidental, he is a samurai, mainly in business." ”

"Samurai?" Liu Han looked at him with interest.

Gu Tong nodded: "My people have fought with him, this person should have the cultivation of the middle grade of the martial artist, in Dongying, the cultivation of the warriors is different from our Great Jin, they are called ninjas, divided into nine grades, one to three grades for the lower forbearance, four to six grades for the middle forbearance, seven grades and above for the upper forbearance, and there is a special one, the ninth grade on the nine, it is called the heavenly forbearance." ”

Liu Han was happy, however, Gu Tong obviously understood that he was wrong, and he also smiled: "A small island, what great characters can there be, we have fought with him, and it is naturally not worth mentioning in front of adults." ”

Liu Han didn't explain, he just smiled, and Zhou Se and Gu Tong saw that there was nothing going on, so they quit and withdrew.

Liu Han took out the report and put it on the side, now the silver to be handed over is nearly a million taels less, these Dongying people have made a lot of silver in Dajin, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of tariffs lost, but there is no way, who let Dajin have no customs.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Han drafted another report, suggesting the establishment of the Municipal Shipping Division, and he gave a detailed explanation of the responsibilities and functions of the new organization and the personnel setting of the Municipal Shipping Division.

This writing is written in tens of thousands of words, all in the vernacular, which is completely different from the officialdom, and anyone can understand it.

In the evening, Feng Sheng came again, bringing the second urgent report from Yuhang Zhixian County, the Dongying people robbed the shops in Yuhang, and the seized Jiangnanhui warehouse was also looted by the Dongying people.

"It seems that I must rush to Yuhang immediately, Lord Feng, you have to sit in Wu County and ensure that nothing happens in Wu County. Liu Han looked serious.

Feng Sheng hesitated and asked in a low voice: "If that's the case, the adults should go and come back quickly, and it's best to bring Zhou Se and Gu Tong with you." ”

Liu Han nodded slightly: "I will leave Nansheng to you, and the tiger Benwei under his command will stay in Wu County, there should be no major problems in Wu County, and in addition, we will take Ono away." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the humble duty will definitely ensure the safety of Wu County. Feng Sheng was worried.

Liu Han didn't care much, he didn't even want to take Hu Benwei, the current political situation did not allow large-scale turmoil in Wu County, there were no She people, no Shanli people participated, even if someone in Wu County made a rebellion, he was sure that it would be pacified within ten days.

Zhou Se and Gu Tong had just arrived home and were urgently invited back, the two of them were worried, they didn't know what was going on, and when they arrived at Liu Hanxingyuan, Ono and Gumi were also there.

Liu Han handed over the urgent news from Yu Hang to them, Xiao Ye looked anxious, and Zhou Se and Gu Tong were worried.

"Tonight, we will rush to Yuhang, we must control the situation before it becomes more serious," Liu Han said and looked at Zhou Se and Gu Dong.

Zhou Se was slightly stunned, a little embarrassed: "My lord, it's not that the old man doesn't want to go, it's just that he hasn't prepared at all, at least let me go back and prepare." ”

"Brother, I know that things are very urgent, but I can't wait, wait one more day, the situation may worsen, we have hundreds of miles to go from here to Yuhang, the Cao Gang has prepared a fast boat, if you hurry up, you can arrive in two days." ”

For this army, Liu Han didn't dare to have any expectations for traveling 100 miles a day, in the Western Regions, he once led the escort team to create a successful surprise attack on the enemy, but for this army, including the Tiger Benwei, he did not dare to place such expectations.

The waterways of Wujun extend in all directions, compared with Jiangbei, it is much wider, the boat is much faster, and it can sail overnight, so he dared to drive for two days.

Fang Jie led the main force of the Cao Gang to Ning County and took over the Ning County Shipbuilding Workshop, Ma Ye did a good job in Ning County and calmly took over Ning County.

Liu Han felt that he had made a mistake and let Man Tong come back too quickly, but Han Cheng still seemed to be inexperienced and failed to suppress the Dongying people in chaos.

This guy Mantong has caused a lot of trouble this time.

Zhou Se still wanted to fight for it, but Gu Tong stabbed him in the back, and then stepped forward: "Okay, let's take a boat to Yuhang with the adults immediately, but I want to send someone home, get a few clothes, and send them to us." ”

Liu Han naturally had no reason to object, and Zhou Se also understood, he hurriedly ordered the general who came with him to go home, and at the same time wrote a letter to the family, the children of the Zhou family were not allowed to go out until he came back from Yuhang, and whoever wanted to go out would break his legs. Gu Tong also wrote a letter with roughly the same meaning, the Gu family closed the door, and the children of the clan were not allowed to go out, otherwise they would be severely punished.

Ono was in a very anxious mood, this Yamada was too reckless, why didn't he wait for him to return to Yuhang before making a move!

Along the way, Ono tried to talk to Liu Han and defend Yamada, but Liu Han told him unceremoniously that it was too early to make a judgment, and after arriving in Yuhang, he would take a look at Yamada's actions first.

However, Liu Han was still very enthusiastic about him, and told him that he was going to recommend him to study in the imperial capital, the imperial capital academy did not have such stinky rules, and if he was lucky, he might be able to enter the country.

This news relieved Ono's anxiety a little, it was okay on the road, Zhou Se and Gu Tong talked about the Taoist classics, Liu Han listened very carefully, and did not interject.

Another night voyage, but this time the atmosphere was much more relaxed, in the middle of the night, Zhou Se Gu Tong couldn't bear it, and went into the cabin to sleep, Ono and Liu Han still stayed on the second deck.

Ono looked at the boat behind him, only faintly visible in the night.

"Your Excellency will take this person to Yuhang?" Ono asked very carefully, this time there were a total of two boats, Liu Han brought five personal guards, and on the boat behind him, there were more than a dozen people who were obviously Jianghu men.

"Enough. Liu Han's expression was casual, Ono's eyes were stunned, and Gumo was quite unimpressed, he was very confident in his country's samurai.

Liu Han had a judgment in his heart, Zhou Se and Gu Tong both thought that Yamada's cultivation was not good, but Yamada was so fierce in Yuhang, then there were only two possibilities, one was that Yamada Xiuwei was not as disdainful as they said, and the other was that someone was secretly agitating and helping, and Zhou Se and Gu Tong and these Wujun families took a step of standing by.

"Do you want to go and rest?" Liu Han asked Ono, he was a little puzzled by Ono, this guy didn't seem to have cultivated, but he just gave him a good feeling of cultivation.

Ono shook his head slightly: "Thank you for your concern, I can still hold on." My lord, I don't want to defend Yamada, but I ask for mercy from my men. ”

Liu Han shook his head again: "The law is not merciful, it depends on what he does, the Great Jin respects the Taoist canon, but can govern the world, you can't just rely on the Taoist canon, you have to rely on the Great Jin Law."

Whether it is the prince and grandson, or the peddler and pawn, the Great Jin people or you Dongying people, as long as you are in the land of the Great Jin, you must abide by the laws of the Great Jin. ”

Ono could only sigh again and be silent, Liu Han continued: "I hope you can tell your clansmen that in the Great Jin, you must abide by the laws of the Great Jin. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

In the next trip, Ono didn't mention this topic again, but Liu Han chatted with him with great interest, but this conversation almost subverted Liu Han's perception of the world.

This Dongying is different from the island country in the previous life, this Dongying is mainly composed of two large islands and dozens of small islands around, there is no emperor, there are dozens of small countries, and there are endless wars between small countries, however, in the past ten years, large countries have merged small countries, forming five or six large countries, and the strength of each other is almost the same, and it has formed a rare era of peace for more than ten years.

Ono simply drew a map of Dongying Island, and Liu Han could tell at a glance that this Dongying was completely different from the other island country, from the shape, it looked like a gourd, two large islands, connected by a canyon in the middle, and outside the upper and lower islands, there was a larger island, which was about half smaller than the big island, in addition, there were dotted islands around.

The two gourd-like islands are called Kita-Toeijima and Minami-Toeijima, and Nagashima, where Ono is located, is located in the southwest corner of Minami-Toeijima, and is not a small island isolated from overseas, but a peninsula jutting out to the sea, while Kashima Island in Yamada is a land called Kakoku not far from Nagashima.

There are now three countries on North Dongying Island, and Ono doesn't know what it is, but there are two large countries on South Dongying Island, and there are seven or eight small countries, and these seven or eight small countries belong to two big countries.

The result of the perennial war was naturally the withering of the people's livelihood, and every time a country was destroyed, the samurai of that country were scattered and formed a group of wandering samurai, who lost their source of livelihood, some of them wandered on the island to form a mercenary-like group, some of them took risks and became pirates, making a living from plundering, which was despised even in Toying, and a very small number were hired by merchants, first as bodyguards, and then slowly became merchants.

In Toei, a samurai is a samurai, a farmer is a farmer, war is a samurai's business, the farmer is only responsible for farming and paying grain taxes, and the whole society is hierarchical, and does not interfere with each other.

However, the sea route is dangerous, and there are not many Dongying samurai who dare to come to the Great Jin, taking Yuhang as an example, there are about six or seven hundred Dongying merchant samurai, of which there are about five hundred samurai, and the rest are all merchants, among which there are about three hundred Nagashima samurai, and the rest are Kashima samurai.

Liu Han asked a question that he was very curious about: "Why do you only stay in Wu County, why don't you go to Yangzhou, or even the imperial capital?"

Ono smiled bitterly when he heard this, in fact, Dongying was short of products, there was no fine silk, not even cotton, and it could not be compared with the Great Jin at all, so their fleet actually went not only to the Great Jin, but also to the south and east, but the Great Jin was the largest market and their main destination.

The greater reason for not going deeper into the Great Jin Dynasty is the obstruction of Wu County and the exclusion of Yangzhou.

After several attempts, they all failed and suffered great losses, on the contrary, the price given by the local government in Wu County was relatively reasonable, and they naturally lost their desire to continue to go deeper.

The speed of going south was faster than Liu Han expected, and the trip that was originally expected to take two days was completed in one and a half days, and on the morning of the third day, the ship arrived in Yuhang.

Before they landed, Liu Han and they clearly felt that the air was tense, the dock was empty, there was no boat, and they didn't even know where to go to the painting boat, after getting off the boat, the streets were empty, the shops were closed, and occasionally a few pedestrians walked by carefully and hurriedly, and they were a little surprised to see their eyes.

Liu Han suddenly felt that he had made a mistake, he didn't like to wear official uniforms, and when he came to Yuhang this time, he didn't care about this, he should wear official uniforms to go ashore.

Yuhang County is not small, even if it is closed, it can be seen that it is very prosperous, and all kinds of shops are lined up, just from the signboards, you can see that there are many types.

But now the shops are closed, and the whole city is almost dead.

It was easy to see an open store, it was a grain store, two middle-aged people were buying grain, and the shopkeeper reminded them to go back quickly.

"Shopkeeper, what's going on in this city?" asked Liu Han, the shopkeeper looked at them with extraordinary spirit, and the guards behind him carried swords and swords.

"The guest officer has just arrived, hurry up and find a place to hide, in this city..."The shopkeeper sighed, turned his head and told the middle-aged man who bought food: "Hurry back, be careful on the road, I will close the door soon." ”

"Shopkeeper, what's going on in this city?" Liu Han didn't move and continued to ask.

"The guest officer didn't know that the Dongying people were making trouble in the city, beating people everywhere, and everyone was terrified. The shopkeeper said, "Hurry up and find a place to hide." ”

"Is it so presumptuous, does the government care?" Liu Han asked with a frown.

"Official, hmph," the shopkeeper said dissatisfiedly: "I've been hiding for a long time, hmph, now the Dongying people are blocking in front of the county yamen." ”

"Blocked in front of the county yamen, so bold. Liu Han's face sank like water, turned his head and walked towards the county office, Zhou Se Xiaoye and others hurriedly caught up, Xiaoye became more and more panicked, he was panicked, and he didn't know what to do.

The shopkeeper of the grain store looked at their backs, shook his head again and again, the county order said, it has been reported to the government office, please send troops to the Taishou, these outsiders are not small, but there are too few people, if they don't open the grain store, the neighbors around them want to buy grain and eat, and they won't open the door.

Liu Han was very angry, this Yao Yuan is a coward who is afraid of death, so he actually let it go, this Yuhang is not without a servant, there is also a sailor, and the family gate valve is also here, with a good organization, you can give it a go and beat the arrogance of the Dongying people.

But this guy didn't do anything! Just look at it! Like a dead man!

After turning two streets, he arrived at the county office, but when he saw the scene at the entrance of the county office, Liu Han almost crooked his nose!
