0690 back to Tianjin
After listening to Liu Guangting's story, Liu Haojia picked up the list he handed over and looked at it with a smile on his face, this time he really made a windfall. After he made a detailed inquiry and made sure that there was nothing missing, he directly waved his hand and ordered the fleet to set sail.
Hearing Liu Haojia's order, everyone in the fleet was naturally thunderous, and the people of the entire fleet sailed back with joy!
In the past few days, the number of people coming and going in Tianjin has suddenly increased a lot, and it seems that they are either the sons and nephews of high-ranking officials and nobles, or the stewards of their families. But all of them have one thing in common, that is, they carry large sums of gold and silver.
And they don't do anything every day, they just go everywhere for fun. Because these people all got the news of Liu Haojia, they said that a super-large auction would be held on a fixed date, so that they could bring enough silver. As a result, many people speculated whether he was going to auction off the spoils he brought back from the Wa Kingdom?
That afternoon, while these people were drinking tea and chatting, suddenly the servants of each family appeared one after another, bringing the same news, the navy's fleet had entered the harbor!
These people have been extremely bored in Tianjin for the past few days, and now they are naturally relieved to hear the news that the fleet has entered the port. After a brief discussion, they went to the dock to see the freshness together, anyway, this place is not far from this dock, a matter of walking a few steps.
When everyone arrived at the wharf, they saw that there were many more ships on the wharf, and they couldn't even accommodate it for a while, and there were still many boats in the open sea. And the ships that docked came down and there were many Japanese people who were dressed differently from ordinary people.
One of the stewards slapped his face and said, "Master Hou really has a good method, and he actually got a lot of widows."
Another said, "It is said that these widows can endure hardships and are obedient, and they can buy a batch to go back."
Another said, "Yes! It is also said that the Japanese women are extremely submissive. It's also good to buy it back and give the host family a taste of the exotic!"
While they were talking, there was a steward who saw a man disembarking from the ship, who seemed to have some status, and the men who could command him lined up in a line, and separated the old and the weak, and arranged for the men in the prime of life to carry the goods from the ship. Yushi sent the servants around him to invite someone to come over.
The servant was commanded to go up to the man and bow his hand, saying, "This brother, dare to ask your surname, but the owner of the ship?"
When the man looked back, he saw that although this person was dressed as a servant, he was covered with fine materials all over his body, so he knew that he was a servant of a large family, and hurriedly said, "My surname is Huang, and I am indeed the owner of this ship, I wonder what advice this brother has?"
The servant turned back and raised his chin at the place where the stewards were staying, and said, "My housekeeper is there watching you unload, and when he saw that the owner of the yellow ship seemed to be able to speak, he asked the master of the ship to go and speak."
This surnamed Huang was originally a small leader of pirates, and he was very weak. There was only one ship out of the sea this time, and his ship was not big, so he was allowed to unload the cargo first, and then he was seen by those in charge. Therefore, this person did not have the confidence to oppose those in charge, and when he saw this, he hurriedly said, "There is a recommendation from Brother Lao!"
When he approached, the stewards knew at a glance that he was not a superior person, and then they knew that he was just an ordinary maritime merchant, so when everyone saw him giving a salute, they did not return the salute, but one steward asked directly, "Are you a maritime merchant?" The widows on board are your cargo?"
The pirate leader hurriedly said, "The villain's surname is Huang, and he is just a maritime merchant. Those widows are not the goods this time, they are only temporarily placed on the villain's ship, and they already have owners."
When the stewards heard this, they were a little discouraged, but one of them did not give up and asked, "Who are these widows?"
The pirate leader bowed and said, "It's all set by our big dragon head."
The stewards were refreshed when they heard this! It's just a pirate dice, they don't care! Immediately someone said, "I see, that's easy!" Go and tell your faucets, let some of them come, and we will pay according to the price."
Hearing this, the pirate surnamed Huang smiled bitterly and said, "It's good to teach the old man to know, I'm afraid this matter is difficult! These widows have already entered the account books, and now they are all still people! After the villain has unloaded, these people will be sent away with the ship!"
The stewards sighed when they heard this, they dared to provoke Liu Guangting
didn't dare to offend Liu Haojia, so they had no choice but to give up. However, the pirate leader observed his words, even if he was frightened by the power of the Hou Ye, he also had a trace of greed! He said cautiously, "Do you want to buy some Japanese to work with?"
One of the stewards said, "Yes, don't you have a way?"
The pirate surnamed Huang smiled and said, "So that you can know that this group of widows is no longer good, but you can place an order!" This kind of widow has on the island, and the villain can catch it!"
When all the stewards heard this, their eyes lit up, and they all looked at each other, feeling that this method was indeed feasible! Still, one of the stewards asked, "How many ships do you have, how many men?" The people here are all well-known people in the Jingshi, and the amount they want is not a small amount, can you do it?"
The pirate surnamed Huang almost drooled when he heard it! This time, he was able to kill on land with the power of the navy, which was an eye-opener! At that moment, he rolled his eyes and said, "A few masters, the villain only has two boats, but the villain still has some ways at sea, so when the time comes, just ask some more people to start together!" Surely!"
One of the stewards asked, "It is said that those widows are good at fighting, can you win?"
The pirate surnamed Huang smiled and said, "Everyone knows that the Japanese can fight, but the Japanese country is an island, and there are many places where you can park your boats!" As long as you bypass their navy and find a place to land, it will not be easy to touch a few villages!"
The stewards felt that this was indeed the truth, so they reported the number of slaves needed by fifteen and ten. The pirate leader is smiling so much that he can't see his eyes! But then he got worried! A dozen people reported the number, where did he remember!
When he was in a hurry, a family pounced on a piece of paper and wrote down the number and handed it to him, which was considered to be a relief.
The pirate leader was also smart, so he directly touched a string of money and stuffed it into the servant's hand and said, "Good brother, I don't know which house you belong to? When they are caught, I will go to you."
The servant was overjoyed when he heard this! Because if the pirate leader really contacts him, then he has a major role in this matter, and in the eyes of the steward, it is a credit, and it will be easier to be promoted in the future! So he didn't even accept the money, and said directly: "The matter has become that you go to the mansion of the Marquis of Funing to find Hou Sande, it is me!"
