After sending Liu Yifeng away, when Shopkeeper Wang was loading the next batch of supplies to cross Jinshan Bay, Boss Qiu's envoy found him and brought him to the Maritime Safety Bureau, who was a little terrified.

"Villains join the adults."

As soon as he entered the courtyard, the shopkeeper Wang was startled, and there were actually more than 20 people standing in the courtyard wearing the official uniforms of the fifth and sixth grades of the Maritime Safety Bureau, and he had never seen so many officials of the Maritime Safety Bureau in his life.

These officials were still waiting for Song Yingxing in the middle to come out and tell them what had happened, and they were not very interested in the arrival of a shipmaster.

The shopkeeper Wang was also brought into the side room, and the restless little half of his ass was next to the chair, waiting for his fate.

didn't let him wait long, an official wearing the official uniform of the Maritime Safety Bureau walked in, he was Li Yan. After Song Yingxing took office, he liked this young man very much, he was low-key and reliable, because he opposed Hao Ping's land finance policy was not reused, but he achieved a career explosion in Song Yingxing's hands.

Song Yingxing chose to tell Xu Guangqi the details of the gold ore vein incident.

"See your Excellency."

"Shopkeeper Wang, your ship was requisitioned by the Dongshan Prefecture Maritime Safety Bureau, and the day after tomorrow I asked your ship to prepare for a long voyage, this is the token of the Maritime Safety Bureau, and all the materials you need can be used to go to the warehouse of the Maritime Safety Bureau to receive it."

The requisition of his own ship was only a little unexpected, and he did not resist. The Maritime Administration is still very generous, and every requisitioned shipkeeper has basically not lost money, and that token is proof.

He just wondered why it was himself?

"My lord, can I know where we're going?"

"Local, Jinmen." Li Yan guessed that Shopkeeper Wang must be very curious about why he chose him, and took the initiative to add: "The one who chose you is Boss Qiu of the fleet trading house, and he said that only your ship is a soft sailing ship bought from the Dutch. ”

The shopkeeper Wang has written clearly: "My lord, this trip is in a hurry? ”

"Very urgent, I ask you to take me back to Jinmen as soon as possible, and then return to Jinshan City as soon as possible."

The shopkeeper didn't dare to ask any more questions, there must be something very important that needs to be contacted by the local court. After saluting, he hurried back to his ship, unloaded all the supplies of the other firms with the help of the officials of the Maritime Bureau, and began to prepare for the voyage.

In fact, Song Yingxing first communicated with the navy, hoping to borrow a Zheng He-class one, but the navy did not agree, which was beyond their authority. In desperation, he found the Fleet Chamber of Commerce and asked them to recommend the fastest ship in Dongshan Prefecture, so Shopkeeper Wang was selected.

The speed of soft sailing ships is faster than that of hard sailing ships, which is already a recognized thing in the field of Daming sailing ships, but because the cost of soft sailing ships is too high, most ship managers still like relatively cheap hard sailing ships, so they have not been popularized in the field of private merchant ships.

Liu Yifeng didn't know that his new friend had such an encounter, and he was now sitting on the Taishi chair in a money village reception room, drinking tea silently, thinking about what to say for a while.

This money village is called Dongshan Money Village, and you can know its status in Dongshan Prefecture by listening to the name. Liu Yifeng is ready to use the two generations of broken golden sand in his hand to exchange for some money. He was a little worried that this money bank would not dare to do this business, after all, this was Jinshan City.

If it was in Jishan City or Yushan City, Liu Yifeng could use these golden sands that he brought from the mainland to prevaricate the other party. But in Sands, Jin was too sensitive, and he was a little worried that the other party wouldn't believe it.

"What's the shopkeeper's surname?"

"Don't be expensive, under the surname Zhang."

The other party was very direct: "Shopkeeper Zhang, do you want to exchange for silver tickets when you come to our bank?" ”

"No, I'd like to exchange some gold for silver."

"Oh, no problem." But after Liu Yifeng took out the gold, he used the question: "Is this Jinsha?" ”

After the shopkeeper of Qianzhuang's expression was obviously stunned, he smiled again: "Shopkeeper Zhang, what about the certificate?" ”

Voucher? What credentials?

This time it was Liu Yifeng's turn, and he suddenly realized that Daming had a systematic coin exchange system, but he didn't know it, and the people around him didn't know it.

The shopkeeper of the Qianzhuang was well-informed, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Zhang, your gold is not gold, it is a certificate issued by the Qianzhuang that needs to be recognized by the imperial court." ”

The gold of the Ming Dynasty is divided into four modes: ornamental, gold and broken gold.

Ornaments, as the name suggests, are all kinds of gold jewelry. Ordinary gold is only gold ingots, gold bricks or gold leaves, and the name of the issued money bank will be engraved. Broken gold refers to all gold that is not ornamental or gold, but this kind of gold will have a certificate issued by the money dealer to prove its legal status.

Obviously, Liu Yifeng's golden sands and gold lumps are all broken gold, but Liu Yifeng can't come up with a certificate, so it's very intriguing.

"What kind of business does Shopkeeper Zhang do?"

"Dart Master."

"Then are these golden sands really the shopkeeper's?"

Liu Yifeng originally intended to pretend to be angry and slapped the table to increase his momentum, but after thinking about it, after guessing that the other side guessed that the source of the gold was unknown, he was still chatting with himself calmly, and it was estimated that in addition to testing himself, he also intended to swallow this batch of golden sand.

"I don't know what to call the shopkeeper?"

"The contemptible surname is Xia."

"Since Shopkeeper Xia guessed that this batch of golden sands did not belong to me at the beginning, then I want to know if we can still talk about this business?"

Shopkeeper Xia was very satisfied with Liu Yifeng's attitude and said: "As long as Shopkeeper Zhang can prove that this batch of sands has nothing to do with the Maritime Safety Bureau, he can talk about it." ”

Liu Yifeng had imagined a similar scene, and he had already thought of a rhetoric: "These golden sands were searched by me from Zhang Bandit's men. ”

Shopkeeper Xia was very satisfied with this answer, and when Liu Yifeng took out the golden sand, he had already made a guess about the source of this batch of golden sands in his heart. The answer Liu Yifeng said was within the scope of his guess.

The two soon began to bargain over the price of Jinsha, and half an hour later, Liu Yifeng walked out with 3 silver tickets.

"Just fifteen hundred taels?" Zheng Zhilong felt that it was cheaper.

"It's a buyer's market, no way."

Zheng Zhilong heard the term "buyer's market" for the first time, and he thought it was quite fresh, but it was also quite easy to understand.

The two of them left while discussing tomorrow's purchase.

"Shopkeeper Xia."

In Dongshan Qianzhuang, Shopkeeper Xia was still sitting on the former Taishi chair, playing with the golden sands he bought from Liu Yifeng, until a man who looked to be in his 50s came in.

"Old Chen, come and see the fineness of these golds."

"It's very new and sufficient, there are traces of washing, Shopkeeper Xia, where did all this gold come from?"

"Explorers sell it." Shopkeeper Xia said as he walked into the storeroom, and after a while he took out a tray with two plates of golden lumps.

"Old Chen, do you think these 3 plates of gold are mined from a gold mine?"

After careful comparison, the man called Chen Lao shook his head and said, "Shopkeeper Xia, it is obvious that the quality of these two plates is worse. ”

Shopkeeper Xia nodded, he actually saw it.

Liu Yifeng's golden sand condition is much better, and these two sets are a little worse, and he found Chen Lao to make sure.

"I see, you go get busy first."

After Chen Lao left, Shopkeeper Xia called a few more people, and these people knew at a glance that they were all Lian Jiazi.

"That man shouldn't have gone far just now, so go and follow him at once and find out where he lives. Don't act rashly just yet, wait for specific orders. ”

"Yes."
