Chapter 287: Northern Route

The next day, Namo Wada took his son and sent Yang Gui all the way to the Mocheng dock.

After the two reluctantly confessed a few words, Yang Gui boarded the boat and slowly headed downstream.

It wasn't until he couldn't see his wife and children that he lowered his head and found a place to sit down.

There were a total of thirteen people on the boat, except for a swarthy young man, the rest of them were all like Yang Gui, all carrying bags.

"Brother, was that your mother-in-law just now?" Someone asked.

Yang Guihan smiled: "Hehe, yes!"

"Brother, what a blessing!" The man immediately gave a thumbs up, "Unlike my mother-in-law, Lao Tzu is going to go far away, and she doesn't have a fart." ”

"Haha, Zhang Wujiu, then you have to be careful, beware of your mother-in-law leaving the door for Han!"

"Phew, with her buffalo figure, who would be blind!"

"Then how can you be a grinding disc at night!"

"I can't help it! Who asked me to bring my mother-in-law here! As a result, here, the mother-in-law first distributed it to the bachelors, well, now there are more bachelors, and there is no more hair. I used to say that there were two mothers-in-law, two mothers-in-law who farted! ”

"Hahaha!" The people on the boat laughed and joked.

"If you want me to say it! You're satisfied, it's really rare for a husband and wife in distress to come together! ”

"Who's to say it isn't!" The man also smiled, "Fortunately, the three babies she gave birth to me are good, and they all survived the disaster, and now one is in middle school and two are in elementary school!" ”

"Alas!" An older man sighed, "You are really blessed!"

Hearing this, the smiles on many people's faces froze. Some of those whose wives and children had starved to death were even more bitter.

"Actually, it's a blessing to be able to come here, some of our relatives haven't carried it, that's no way, who made the world like this? This time I went back to my hometown, not to mention anything else, I must go to repair my father's tomb, if I can, I want to carry their bones here, I don't want them to be born in the Ming Kingdom again. The man spat hard.

The others all nodded, about to return home, and most of them had some thoughts in their hearts.

"I don't know how many relatives there are, if there are any, I will definitely persuade them to come over, the good policy given by the king, if you don't catch it, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future."

"Well, I can persuade one more person, but I have to come quietly, don't cause any trouble at that time!"

"That's right! Right! Right! You can get five dollars of silver for pulling one, benefiting others and yourself! ”

"If you want to pull more people, I have a way!" The swarthy boy spoke suddenly.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise, and the man arched his hand and said, "This ...... Comrade, what can you do? ”

The young man smiled at them and said, "My name is Li Xiaohei, and I have been serving on the Yangwei before, trading in various places."

"It turned out to be a cadre! Rude faux pas! A boatload of people suddenly became respectful.

Li Xiaohei waved his hand and said, "It's not a cadre, it's just a crew." I heard from you that if you return to your hometown this time and bring someone back, you can get five coins of silver? ”

"That's right! This is written in the king's notice. ”

Li Xiaohei nodded, and when he had nothing to do, he sat up straight and said, "If I were you, I would be rewarded with three coins of silver, and then let the rest of the people persuade people for me!" So, the more people they get back, the more money you make, don't you think? ”

When the people on the ship heard this, they immediately felt that if they were paid three dollars of silver for one head, they would definitely be able to attract more people, and as long as someone brought one, they could earn two more pieces of silver!

"It's really worthy of being a cadre, and it gave us a good idea in one sentence!" The compliments suddenly rose.

Li Xiaohei smiled and said: "This is actually quite simple, when we trade deerskin, we use a futures system, simply put, we can use non-existent goods in exchange for a large amount of silver!"

"Such a god!"

"Officer Wang will definitely be able to become a big official in the future!"

"That's right, it seems that I really want the baby to study!"

Yang Gui was also secretly surprised and envious, feeling that these students were indeed amazing.

Li Xiaohei waved his hand smugly: "This is nothing, I don't like to be an official, I like to travel all over the world and study the laws of the market!"

The people on the boat were not able to answer, and they obviously did not understand the word.

"That cadre Wang, what are you going back to Mocheng for this time?" Someone asked.

Li Xiaohei smiled mysteriously and said, "This matter is confidential, and the king personally ordered it!"

The people on the boat immediately didn't dare to ask more.

Everyone talked and laughed like this, all the way down the river.

After arriving in Yangang, Yang Gui and the others were arranged in the port area, and they still needed to study in class for half a day before they could be released back to their hometown.

The content of the study is how to praise Dongqin, and how to encourage others to be willing to follow them.

Although talking is better than nothing, it can be regarded as teaching, and how much you can learn depends on these people.

"What instructions do you have?"

As soon as Li Xiaohei returned to his bedroom, Master Li Haigou came over.

He looked at Li Haigou with a smile and said, "Your Excellency has asked to measure the depth of water in all suitable ports, starting from Ningbo and ending on the coast of Korea. The ports and hydrological conditions along the coast of Japan are also being collected. ”

Lehi Dog thought for a moment and said, "This is quite necessary!"

Li Xiaohei smiled, took out a map from the table and said: "This is the king from the Ming Kingdom, saying that it is a map on the other side of North Korea, have you seen this point, it is roughly after crossing the Tsushima Strait, and then going north, you can reach this piece." Your Excellency's order this time is for me to explore this area, and as long as I find the mouth of the river, I can try to land and explore one or two. ”

Li Haigou frowned and looked at it, this map was either a route map, or a map of the outline of the land, drawing Korea, Ming and Japan.

"Why does the king want to go to that place?"

"Alas, it's not the horses that make trouble!" Li Xiaohei sighed depressedly: "The king said that it is very inconvenient to travel on Dongqin Island now, and the reason is the lack of good horses.

"Just to find the horses?" Lehi Dog was taken aback.

"That's right, the stakes are high, this route is said to be frozen, so Jun asked me to take advantage of the warm weather in the first half of the year and go over early!"

"No, why does the king know that there are horses there? And horses, North Korea, and Ryukyu also have them! ”

"Don't talk about North Korean horses! The price is too expensive, and the ones I bought back are not good at shoulder height, and the Ryukyu horses are even worse than the war horses. Presumably good horses, they are already scarce, so we can only buy inferior horses! So I had to run for the sake of the horses! ”

Lehi was silent for a while, "Then this time, how many boats will you bring?" ”

"Two Long March-class!"

"Good!" Lehi looked at his apprentice and said, "This is the first time you have run to the sea alone, be careful in everything!"

"Mmmm, don't worry, Master, I will go to worship Mazu!"

Li Haigou couldn't help but smile, patted him on the shoulder and said: "The most taboo thing at sea is to collide with all kinds of ghosts and gods along the way, every time you go to a new place, remember to throw some sacrifices into the sea to appease the evil spirits under the sea."

Li Xiaohei nodded: "I know, I can't pee in the sea yet, and I can't take a woman on the boat!"

Both the master and apprentice laughed, and these strange nautical knowledge was very popular among the students taught by Li Haigou.
