Chapter Seventy-Three: Arrived at the Mountain City
Leaving Feng Shuo, whose dream of leading the cavalry team to charge was shattered, Liu Yifeng was about to communicate with Li Hongji about the configuration of the cold weapon guard, when Ao Bai rushed in:
"Oh no, no, the people of the whole ship know that our trading house has been seized by the imperial court, and we are going to be auctioned!"
Hearing this, Liu Yifeng and Feng Shuo immediately turned their heads to look at Li Hongji.
Liu Yifeng's team knew about it in Yishan City, and there was no reason to leak it out now, so the most likely leak was Li Hongji.
"It's not me! Big Boss, I don't need to leak this! ”
Liu Yifeng turned his head and agreed with his statement.
"Who else could it be if it wasn't you? Our people have known about this for a long time, and if they want to say it, they will say it a long time ago! ”
Feng Shuo is still a little reluctant, it's not that he can't get used to Li Hongji, in fact, the personal relationship between the two is okay, he is like this, he is simply protecting the inside, and subconsciously has no trust in the new Li Hongji.
Li Hongji was a person who knew him better, and he was not angered by Feng Shuo's attitude, and said calmly: "Feng Shuo, think about it, is there any benefit in me talking about this matter?" ”
Feng Shuo was stunned and did not speak.
"Nothing good." Li Hongji continued to explain: "Actually, it's not a big deal to talk about this matter, we can't save those people, and they don't know that the big boss has negotiated our whereabouts in Jishan City, and they don't know that it doesn't affect us at all." ”
Liu Yifeng nodded secretly.
It is true that this is the reason, and the people knew it a day or two earlier, but the wood is already in the boat, and they don't plan to buy everyone.
In fact, Liu Yifeng also knew that he was short of people and had the ability to buy, but he didn't know what the situation of Jinshan City was, and he wanted to expand the team after finding out the specific situation. If he hadn't wanted to hide the fire gun, he would only take Ao Bai, and Ni Kantu and Feng Shuo would have taken Li Hongji with him at most.
In the early days of team building, it was not that the more people the better, but that the more loyal people and the people who could take charge of themselves, were not too expensive.
Ao Bai is also the heart of a child, and he was a little panicked when he saw that only he knew the secrets that the whole ship knew, and when he heard Li Hongji's analysis, he suddenly found that there really seemed to be nothing to panic about, and his face turned red instantly.
The rest of the bilge understood this, too, and what to do.
"You go ahead, I'll find out who revealed the news."
Liu Yifeng walked onto the deck, and when he passed by the cabin of the people's boat, a group of people gathered together to vent their inner confusion and uneasiness, and said inexplicable words.
Some instinctively pull people to join them and strengthen their own power. Some accepted fate, but instead talked about the pain of digging mountains and mining with a wicked smile, scaring people who were already a little panicked. Others were actively saving themselves, discussing the escape, and after seeing Liu Yifeng, they scattered in a hurry, and after Liu Yifeng walked away, they gathered together again, discussing in the corner where the ghost head was located.
Liu Yifeng found Zheng Zhilong and asked how Minfu knew about the auction.
"A couple of crew members."
"Why do they say it?"
"Who knows, maybe it's the depression in your heart, find a way to vent."
Liu Yifeng can understand a little.
It can be seen from the fact that the acting captain has become more and more energetic in the past few days, he must have taken care of the Maritime Safety Bureau in Jishan City, and when he arrives in Jishan City, the Nanyang-class treasure ship, it will be his.
Zheng Zhilong said that the captain didn't really want them as crews, and he had his own team, so the fate of the crew was to say goodbye to this Nanyang-class ship after arriving at Yushan City.
In this era, seafaring is a very good job.
Although sailing is hard and boring, and comes with the risk of shipwreck, it is really profitable, twice as much as the average person in the city. If you're lucky and join a smuggler, you'll earn even more.
Therefore, although the crew is a ninth-rate profession, as long as you earn enough money to retire and ask a matchmaker to marry, you can marry a woman from a good family who is from a ninth-rate class.
In many commercial houses of the coastal generation of the Ming Dynasty, the shopkeepers are retired crew members.
Now this job is about to be lost, and it is because he has done nothing wrong, it is the former captain who has lost his job due to his own death, and most of these crew members are extremely depressed. A few people estimated that their mentality had collapsed, and they couldn't see others happy, so they told the people that they were going to be auctioned off to build roads and mine.
"Forget it, it's none of our business, I estimate that we will arrive in Hong Kong tomorrow, you and Lao Wang hurry up and make preparations."
The frustration of the crew and the panic of the people had nothing to do with Liu Yifeng, when the whole ship fell into an inexplicable mood, only he and his team in the bottom compartment looked calm.
This naturally attracted the attention of many people, especially the nimble people among the people, who came to test it one after another.
The Jurchens, who were mainly surveyed by Aobaini, did not dare to disobey the Han people, so they hid directly behind Liu Yifeng. The Koreans, mainly Kim Seung-woo, pretended not to understand Chinese, and after the Han people's husband arrested the translator, they also hid behind Liu Yifeng.
This kind of behavior made more people aware of the abnormality, and they began to contact Li Hongji, but he ignored them, Liu Yifeng smiled and did not say anything the whole time, and whoever asked him smiled and did not answer, they could only go to Feng Shuo.
This is to hurt him.
Feng Shuo was originally a showy character, and everyone came to flatter him, hoping that he would reveal something. He could only endure it, but his lame pretending to be confused instead caused those who asked him to suspect that Liu Yifeng definitely knew something, which might be related to the fate of their people.
In the end, Feng Shuo was forced to ask in a hurry, and started to fight directly.
The city is in front of you, the shore is no longer a cliff, and people are gradually appearing to hunt and chop wood, and the smoke of the city is already outside the horizon. At this time, whether it was the crew or Liu Yifeng, they didn't bother to care about these people, Feng Shuo had a good fight, and when he was almost beaten, he escaped from the people's cabin and hid behind Liu Yifeng.
Soon, the small boat of the Maritime Safety Bureau approached the Nanyang class, and several small officials climbed up and found the captain to start the handover.
One hour later, Liu Yifeng and others, who were queuing up, walked out of the people's team and walked towards the outside of the port under the attention of everyone.
Suddenly, the people's team was boiling, and many people had already reacted: Liu Yifeng had a way to escape the fate of building roads and opening mountains.
"Big Boss, take me!"
"Big boss, I'm Li Laosan from Golden State! Don't leave me! ”
"Liu Yifeng, you traitor!"
"@#%¥&*Smecta!" This is Dong Yi Nu, who is calling Kim Seung-woo to take them away.
Liu Yifeng stopped, turned around and faced the team of people who were desperately whipped by the officials of the Maritime Safety Bureau to maintain order, and bowed his hands: "Everyone, our green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow for a long time, and we will see you again in the future." ”
