Yao Qianhu banquet Liaodong merchants behind the withered building, there is a large courtyard facing the sea, at this time there are a few sections of yellow pear wood, the yellow and moist wood color is illuminated by the sun, into a more dazzling gold, people are taken for it.

"Little carpenter, do you know what kind of wood this is?"

Yao Qianhu picked the shredded mutton between his teeth and asked Ah Shan arrogantly.

Ahsan shook his head.

It was indeed the first time he had seen such a beautiful wood, and he couldn't help but secretly sigh that the Ming Kingdom was really rich and rich, and even the wood looked more like gold than the gold-inlaid belt of the Great Khan.

Yao Qianhu said: "Xiangba Lao, this is called Huanghuali, from Qionghai, one or two feet, it is more precious than your life." These two bosses, I have seen the chairs on your car, and I like them very much, and Yang County ordered you to make a few handfuls of Huanghuali and take them away for the bosses. You fucking do the work more refreshingly, otherwise, with a word from Lao Tzu, your female tiger will pay twice as much as the autumn endowment. ”

Ah Shan resignedly agreed, walked to the wood, put down the burden full of tools, and walked over again, flattering: "The little one must make a good chair, and ask the general to say a lot of good words in front of the county lord, and take care of our Zhengjiazhuang." The spears and cannons made by our wives cost a lot of money. ”

Yao Qianhu snorted in his nose, and a lewd color suddenly appeared in his eyes, and said to the two Liao merchants: "That tigress is just an egg, you say, what kind of gun does a woman make, woman, let's give them a few guns from time to time, right?" ”

After he finished speaking, he seemed to be proud of his lewd words, and laughed unsatisfactorily, but soon found that Liao Shang did not laugh with the occasion.

"Yao Ye," the elder Liao merchant Zhengse said, "When Fushun was fighting Tartars, we Liaonan people heard that the firearms of the imperial court were transported from Songjiang. It turns out that there are also firearms on Chongming Island? ”

Yao Qianhu rolled his eyes: "Ah yes, what you are talking about should be the woman who got the order of the six grades of the imperial court, surnamed Zheng, who occupies the South Island." ”

After the two Liao merchants looked at each other, the elder glanced at Ah Shan, who was immersed in measuring the wood, and made a gesture of "borrowing a step to speak" to Yao Qianhu.

Walking outside the courtyard, Liao Shang suppressed his voice and said, "Master, is that Zheng family's firearm sold?" ”

Yao Qianhu was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and suddenly realized: "You want to buy it?" ”

"That's not it, sell it to the north and sell it to bandits, and you can earn more than silk grain."

Yao Qianhu looked embarrassed: "I guess the tigress refuses." I heard that her firearms were made by the Ministry of War, and then transported to border towns and Fujian. ”

"Oh......" the elder Liao Shang understood, "So, the imperial court is her big and only customer." ”

The younger Liao merchant was unwilling to instigate: "Yao Ye will find a way to get some, twenty or thirty handfuls, and the gross profit is better than a hundred loads of homespun cloth." ”

Yao Qianhu rolled his eyes: "I'll try it, but the master is a serious Qianhu in Chongming." Soldiers, soldiers, soldiers first, soldiers after soldiers, the rules of the Ming Dynasty, it makes no sense that she has guns and cannons in a half-hung barracks, and Lao Tzu does not give guns and cannons to thousands of households. ”

The young Liao merchant added firewood to the fire and said: "That is, the great Chongming, the gateway to the East China Sea, the battalion soldiers have something to do, but the guard station does not, does the court raise a female pirate?" ”

The elder smiled and said, "When Yao Ye gets the guns, we should arrive on the next boat, just to send silver to Yao Ye." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say," Yao Qianhu's eyes lit up, and he turned around and pointed to the courtyard, "Although the two sent that little carpenter, Yang Xiancheng came forward to call, he worked here, and his owner didn't dare to come and talk about it." ”

"Thank you Yao Ye, Yao Ye is not going to rest? The two of us chatted with the carpenter's little brother, and also went to the beach to blow the warm breeze and disperse the smell of wine. ”

……

Yao Qianhu hummed a little tune, and his back disappeared in the front hall of the withered flower building. This Qiu Ba has another business in the private port here, raising a Qinglou girl selected from Suzhou, and he will go to another industry to mix if he has nothing to do.

The two Liao merchants walked up to Ah Shan and spoke almost at the same time: "Master." ”

"Hmm."

Yue Yu replied vigorously, his gaze still resting on Huanghuali.

"That Nikan dog is disrespectful to his master, let's turn around and take his dog's life." The young Liao businessman hated and hated.

Yue Zhen raised his eyes and said softly: "That's not necessary, if he doesn't treat me as a little carpenter, it will be bad." Besides, what we have to spend our efforts to get rid of are those powerful characters in the Ming Kingdom, a money-greedy waste like Yao Qianhu, it's good to keep it, maybe they will all be the clothed minions who opened the way for me with Dajin in the future. ”

When the elder Liao Shang heard this, he immediately responded respectfully, and taught his son again: "Feng Nian, the wisdom of the master, you must keep it in mind in order to follow the master to accomplish great things." ”

The father and son, who pretended to be Liao merchants, were Tong Yangzheng and the eldest son Tong Fengnian, both of whom followed Tong Yangxing to Nurhachi during the Fushun Defense War.

Tong Yangzheng also has a son named Tong Shengnian, who was given the name "Tulai" by the old chief Nurhachi. In history, Tong Tulai, whose daughter married Emperor Shunzhi and gave birth to the later Emperor Kangxi, was only thirteen or fourteen years old at this time, and did not follow his father and brother out to work for Houjin as a spy.

As for the Son-in-law, who appeared as a carpenter, he was the grandson of Nurhachi, the son of Beldaishan the Great.

Yue Zhi lost his mother in childhood, and his stepmother treated Yue Zhi harshly with the connivance of Dai Shan, and after Nurhachi knew, he asked Huang Taiji's mother Meng Gu Zhezhe to raise Yue Zhen. Therefore, Yue Yu and his uncle Huang Taiji have a strong relationship, and they are strangers to their biological father Dai Shan.

During the Battle of Fushun, Yue Xuan was going to the north to select horses from the Haixi Jurchens, and he had never met with Zheng Haizhu and others in Hetuara before, and his Chinese language was the best among the descendants of the old chief Nurhachi, so Huang Taiji appointed him to the south to spy on various military situations.

Huang Taiji was vicious and meticulous, found a few hoarders outside Kuandian, and ordered the armor soldiers to wantonly torture and kill the Han people, forcing the Han people to flee west, and then designed a scene of chasing and killing, so that Yue Zhi could enter the customs in the meantime.

On the other hand, the Tong family was also sent by Nurhachi to Huang Taiji, and Tong Yangzheng and his son began to launch from the seaport near North Korea, pretending to be smugglers, while Tong Xiyu entered Songjiang by land.

At this moment, Tong Fengnian walked to the gate of the courtyard to control the wind, and Tong Yangzheng took out a blank account book.

Yue took out the ink fountain, a tool commonly used by carpenters, and opened the ink tank, which did not contain cotton thread balls of ink, but thick ink.

He sawed wood for a while, then stopped, dipped his pen in ink, and drew a map on the ledger for a while, all of which he saw on the way south by boat, from Liaohai to various guards in the East China Sea.

After drawing the map, Yue Xun began to trace the appearance of the combined guns, heavy arquebuses, and large and small iron cannons, marking the distance they would destroy the chariots.

As for the multi-spindle spinning wheel, it does not appear on paper.

What if you can spin many cotton balls at the same time, where do we Jurchens get so much cotton.

Yue Zhen thought helplessly.

After finishing the painting in one go, Yue Yu handed the account book to Tong Yangzheng, and asked a little relaxedly: "Fengnian baby, has it landed?" You're a grandfather, aren't you? ”

Tong Yangzheng's eyes darkened, and he smiled bitterly: "It's a kid, but he doesn't feed, he can't eat milk, and his body is not good." ”

Yue Zhen thought of his family's sturdy boy, and couldn't help asking: "Why don't you have milk to eat?" ”

Tong Yangzheng sighed, and then said with a pleading meaning: "The master will talk to the Great Khan and Sibeile for the slaves, Gege married into our Tong family, and cut off the chests of Fengnian's daughter-in-law and concubine, so it's okay, so I can reward a nurse and leave a queen for Fengnian." ”

Yue was taken aback.

He knew that he had an aunt who was almost thirty, and the two foreheads were dead, and Tong Feng was handsome, and the Great Khan gave this old Gege to the Tong family.

I didn't expect it to harm Tong Fengnian's house.

That can't be done, turning around angered the Tong family, and they turned against each other again.

After all, being a traitor is often the difference between zero times and countless times.

Then, Yue Zhen remembered the docile but capable little widow Aya under Zheng Haizhu.

Yue Zhen finally understood why when he went to deliver the Trojan horse rocking car a few days ago, he felt that something was wrong with Aya.

Her chest, too, is flat.
