Chapter 2: The Lord of the Moon Island

"Lord Wang." Fang Da shouted and strode towards the sea.

Seeing that Zhao Guangyuan didn't respond, he didn't care, walked straight to him, sat down cross-legged one step back, took the melon in the hand of the waiter, and took a few bites in a row, straight into his heart and spleen, and was happy.

This melon grows well, and they have a bumper harvest this year, and they can all eat it happily.

Although the prince wants to sell it for money, there is no shortage of food for everyone.

After Fang Da finished eating, Zhao Guangyuan turned his head and asked him, "What's the matter?" ”

Fang's big ass moved forward, "Your Highness, the ship to the coast is back, the two boats of watermelons brought with me have all been sold, and the supply exceeds demand, and the 100,000 stone grains have also been traded, and they have all been exchanged for local specialties and come back, and the seafood and dry goods are the most, and this time I have really collected some good goods, all of which are first-class products, and they can be sold at a good price." ”

Zhao Guangyuan listened quietly, with the magnificent sea in front of him, the sound of waves crashing, but in his mind he was thinking about what Fang Da said......

Two ships of watermelons were loaded with 100,000 catties, and they were told to sell them to the rich cities along the coast and further south, and the price of one catty was 200 wen, and 100,000 catties could get 20,000 taels of silver. 100,000 stone grain, 1 stone 800 wen, can get 80,000 taels of silver, this trip of eight ships, travel for half a month, profit of 100,000 taels.

In addition, bartering with the local area, buying coastal and seaside specialties, and then transporting them to the north, it is estimated that the backhand can make a lot of profits. In this way, the merchant ships can cover all the expenses of 50,000 soldiers and horses twice a month, and there is still a lot left.

Now that the trade route has broken out, it is getting smoother and smoother, which can be regarded as a great relief for him.

"Can this trip go smoothly to sell grain?"

Fang Da nodded, "It's very smooth, it's all cooked business." The fishermen of the coastal villages, who had sent their boys to wait on the shore early, turned around and ran to the village as soon as they saw our boat appear, and after a while the villagers appeared on their shoulders and exchanged their seafood for food with us......

Fang Da laughed when he thought of that scene.

Two years earlier, they had done business with coastal villages, but it didn't go so well.

The coastal villages have little arable land, and they all rely on going out to sea to fish for a living, but there are pirates and bandits on the sea, and there is not one out of ten fish that they catch, and they are finally dragged back to the shore, and there are ruffians and hooligans on the shore.

Either forcibly confiscated or the price is lowered, and it is extremely difficult for coastal fishermen to survive, and there are not a few who sell their children and daughters.

Since they opened up fertile land on several islands and obtained the high-yield grain brought by the prince, in addition to their own food, almost half of it can be left, so he and Sun Ze and others have given it to the prince and sailed to the coastal villages to sell.

As a result, as soon as their ship docked, ten rooms were empty.

I thought the seaside was a deserted village.

Later, I learned that the fishermen saw them coming in a big boat, thinking that they were sea bandits, and the people who were watching the wind on the shore saw them, and hurried back to the village to report the news, and everyone, young and old, packed up their belongings and ran away.

Until I saw that the grain they sold was cheaper than that in the city, eight hundred wen and one stone, and six or seven wen a catty, and they also sent it to the door, and they tried to trade some rice and grain with them, and sold some of the family's sea catch, and saw that the other party was kind, and really gave the copper plate, and the sea goods did not lower the price.

So, as soon as it spreads ten, ten spreads hundreds, the business is done.

Now, as long as you see the big ship with the "moon" flag on the big ship from a distance, it is quite welcome, and I can't wait to beat gongs and drums to celebrate. The boys and girls run to the beach every day to look into the sea, looking forward to the appearance of the "moon" boat.

The people of the "Moon" boat said that they were the subordinates of the Moon Island Lord, and they had never seen the Moon Island Lord, but the Moon Island Lord's subordinates were all good people.

not only helped them level the coastal pirates, let them go to sea without worry, but also sold them good grain cheaply. They also sold their cloth, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and other daily necessities, and collected their sea harvests and dry harvests at high prices, and even the bamboo weaving made by the old people in the family in their spare time.

Now that everyone in the coastal villages lives and works in peace and contentment, with the help of the owner of the island to clear the nearby seas, it is much safer for them to go to sea, and all the fish they catch can fall into their pockets and be sold for a good price. Coastal villages, all looking forward to their appearance.

Many people also set up tablets for the lord of the moon island at home, hoping that the lord of the moon island would bless them forever and ensure that their boys would go to sea in peace.

I heard that a village was robbed by pirates at night, and because the family sewed a flag with the word "moon" by themselves, the pirates were so frightened that they ran away.

As a result, the matter spread, and now in the coastal villages, every household has a "moon" flag on the door.

Fang Da grinned so hard that he couldn't stop laughing.

Zhao Guangyuan turned his head to look at him, Fang Da couldn't help it, and said: "Lord Wang, you haven't been to the village with the boat for several months, haven't you seen it, now there are flags with the number of the moon on the doors of every house, and if you don't plant a flag, you look like an anomaly." ”

Fang Da laughed so hard that his shoulders trembled.

Think about it, the wind is strong on the seaside, and when the wind blows, the flags are lined up, and the wind is rattling, and the scene is quite spectacular. It's not like one village or two villages, it's a coastal village, it's like joining some mysterious organization.

"It's only been a long time, and everyone has regarded the prince as the Mazu who protects the fishermen." I heard that there are a lot of tablets for the main tablet of Moon Island at home. Fang Da couldn't stop laughing.

They know what the Moon Island Lord looks like.

Zhao Guangyuan glared at him, "Funny?" ”

"No, no, no. Everyone remembers the prince's blessing. ”

Since the prince gave the shipbuilding map, they searched everywhere for shipbuilding experts, the ships built were large, the load was large, and they ran fast.

I'm afraid that it will be a little later, and I will be worn by the hands of the Moon Island Lord.

It's too ruthless, that Moon Island Lord is too ruthless, not only robbing them of the property they robbed, but also robbing their boat, and even more so, robbing their island!

So much so that they have nowhere to go. And they swayed near the sea every day, so that they could not stand up straight, and had to go deeper into the sea.

It's horrible.

They also want a boat that is so big and fast, and they also want a boatload of people.

It's not that there are so many people, it's that you want those who can fight on the shore and even more in the sea. It's terrible, it's only been a few years, and the Moon Island Lord has been born, and now who doesn't know this famous Moon Island Lord?

So much so that they didn't dare to stay in the sea, and they all had to go back to the land.

"Now the coastal fishermen trust us, trade smoothly with us, and the people who confess to us must not be shoddy, or pick and suppress at harvest time, so as to lose people's hearts."

"Yes."

"Also, if other forces on the sea don't provoke us, as long as they don't disturb the coastal people, don't bother with it."

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

There are many islands off the coast of Vietnam, and there are many forces that have been in charge for decades, and they are doing all kinds of business and trade, and as long as they are not plundering the coastal people, they will not take care of it, and if the merchant ships passing by at sea are robbed, and others do not ask for them, they will not take care of it.

But over the years, as the name of the Lord of the Moon Island has spread, the passing merchant ships have heard that the Lord of the Moon Island has many soldiers and horses, all of them with one enemy and ten, and some people have found them and asked to escort them all the way.

As long as the price is right, they will take the job.

Otherwise, it is not a way for these 50,000 soldiers and horses to wait for food every day.

Now there are 50,000 soldiers and horses, divided into several units, some go to the nearby coast to do business with fishermen, some go to Fujian and Guangdong and other places to sell glass and pearls to collect all kinds of goods, there are also those who go farther away to find foreign maritime merchants to trade, there are also those who suppress the sea robbers to guard the passing merchant ships, and there are also those who stay on the island to make iron and make glass, raise pearls and hoard fields......

Now, because some military dependents have been brought to the island, there is no shortage of manpower in hoarding and farming, and there are more dependents, and now there are more vegetables and vegetables that can be eaten on the island, and the quality of food has also been greatly improved.

The island is also a lot more harmonious.

Fang Da and Zhao Guangyuan were reporting on the affairs of several islands and formulating a strategy for training troops at sea, when Sun Ze ran over, "Lord Wang, the armory room said that the latest weapons developed have been made, and I want the Lord to go and see the effect." ”

Zhao Guangyuan stood up, patted the sand on his buttocks, and strode forward, "Let's go." ”

Since the iron ore mine appeared on the unknown island, Zhao Guangyuan ordered people to dig it out, and built a furnace on the island to make the latest weapons.

He read a lot of information on Lin Zhaoxia's side, and wanted to build the most convenient and durable weapon.

Now the iron-smelting technology of the Qi Dynasty is not good, and the weapons made by the Ministry of War are brittle and not disabled, and they will have to be replaced again in two or three years, and it is a considerable expenditure to make weapons every year.

Zhao Guangyuan finished eating melons here, and the Lin family in Changling Village also finished eating melons, calculating today's income.

"I sold two hundred and eighty-two taels of silver today, and the manager Jiang directly gave three hundred taels of silver tickets, saying that it would be deducted from here next time."

Geng put three hundred taels of silver on the table, and talked to Lin Qiushan, who was on duty from the cemetery, and his son and grandson about selling melons today.

Lin Qiushan looked at the silver ticket on the table, with a smile on his face, and said to Geng, "You can take it." As the day got hotter, I went back to the town to tear some cloth and make two light clothes for the family. ”

"There are still cloths at home, the eldest daughter-in-law brought several pieces back from the palace, and Jing'an came back a few days ago and also brought several pieces of cloth back to the family." There is no shortage of cloth at home. It's just that I can't take care of the melon field.

The second son, Lin Jing'an, is now sending jobs everywhere to receive goods, and the business is getting more and more comfortable, and the last time he came back, he said that he had been promoted to steward. Geng saw that he had grown up now, and he was very happy in his heart.

Lin Qiushan nodded, "If there is a lot of cloth, I will also make a few for Jing Ning, he is alone in Yuedi, and there is no one around him to handle this." Next time, if there is something to be sent to Yuedi from Grandpa Cao's side, you can ask him to send it. ”

Ma Shi on the side nodded, "Dad, don't worry, I'll do it when I pick melons in the melon field, and I'll make a few more pairs of shoes then." Father-in-law Cao said that it would be a few days before I would send things over there, and I asked Father-in-law Cao to help deliver them at that time. ”

Lin Qiushan nodded, and whispered again, "I don't know when the prince will come back this time, don't you come back until the New Year?" I heard that on the winter solstice this year, several princes are going to come to pay homage to the tomb. ”

Lin Qiushan knew that the real prince in the palace was not the real prince, and the real prince was now crossing the ground. Summer Solstice Festival, there are a lot of people from Beijing this year, but the "prince" is not well, and he only supports the worship, and no one from Beijing has been seen.

Lin Qiushan sweated hard at that time. Fortunately, there is no danger.

"Don't worry, Gonggong Cao will definitely inform the prince, the prince has his own calculations, how can he be caught." Geng didn't care, the prince was smart, how could he make such a mistake.

Since he knew that the prince was his son-in-law, he went there to live with the prince for a few days, and the Geng family now treats the prince as his own family.

Listen to the gossip of all parties every day, and tell Gonggong Cao whenever there is a stir. I was afraid that something would happen to the prince, so that her daughter would be widowed and lose her father.

"Well, then when we are doing our work, we will help the prince pay attention to it, and if you hear any news, remember to inform Gonggong Cao." Lin Qiushan instructed his son, daughter-in-law and others.

Everyone nodded. Looking forward to the success of the prince, and also looking forward to the prince coming back soon, they have not heard from Xia Er for more than half a year.

Huaguo, Lin Zhaoxia hung up the phone and sighed.

Lin's mother called and told Lin Zhaoxia that she wanted to change to a car, and she was still short of seventy or eighty thousand, so that Lin Zhaoxia could get together.

Previously, in order to make it convenient for Lin's father to see a doctor, Lin Zhaoxia bought them a Volkswagen worth more than 100,000 yuan, which had only been driven for three years and was about to be replaced.

In the past three years, a lot of things have happened, and a year ago, Dad Lin finally couldn't survive and left. It was summer when I left, and Zhao Guangyuan was not there, so I couldn't send the last ride. I didn't go back to the first seven, and I didn't go back until the seventh seven was over, and Lin's mother had a lot of opinions, and even the relatives of the Lin family and the Lu family had a big opinion.

No matter how Lin Zhaoxia explained, Lin's mother refused to listen, saying that no matter how busy her son-in-law was with work, she couldn't even rush back from her father-in-law's funeral. And until the end of Qiqi, he didn't go back once, and he picked his eyes and nose at Lin Zhaoxia.

It wasn't until Zhao Guangyuan came over during the Chinese New Year, went to Yuhang in person, explained, and gave another 200,000 yuan, that Lin's mother stopped.

How long has it been since the money was spent?

Still want to change cars?

After Dad Lin left, he was worried that Mother Lin would think too much and think too much about her, afraid that she would be uncomfortable, so Lin Zhaoxia also went back to Yuhang to live with her for a while, and invited her to live in Haishi, but she refused to come, saying that she still had to work. Later, Aunt Lu took her to sign up for a few tour groups and accompanied her out for a few walks, and she was in a much better mood.

Later, Aunt Lu said that she was still young, only fifty-one years old, Dad Lin was gone, and her two daughters were not around, worried that she would be lonely, so she signed up for an elderly blind date activity, and Mother Lin became more and more alive.

For Lin Ma to find a second spring, Lin Zhaoxia has no objection.

According to Aunt Lu's words, Mama Lin is indeed still young, modern people have a long lifespan, Mama Lin still has a lot of better life, she wants to find another partner, Lin Zhaoxia is very supportive.

Lin Yanran was also very supportive, and gave Lin's mother some money to let her spend it.

In fact, after Dad Lin left, Dad Lin was not short of money. Lin Zhaoxia gives her 5,000 per month, Lin Yanran also has a monthly subsidy, she still has a job in the street office, she also has a salary, and her family also has a house for rent, which is not short of money.

But since she participated in the blind date group for the elderly, she will see an old man today and an old man tomorrow, and she will also dress up and buy it, and the money seems to be insufficient. often stretch out his hand to Lin Zhaoxia.

Lin Zhaoxia thought that she was alone now, and also understood that she was lonely and couldn't accompany her, so there was more monthly subsidies.

But now she can't take a fancy to the car at home that has only been driven for three years, and she wants to change the car.

The Volkswagen, 100,000 yuan, the performance is very good, and it has only been driven for three years, and it has been opened in the city, and the mileage has not been driven much, and it is about to be replaced.

also asked for tens of thousands all at once, Lin Zhaoxia was a little embarrassed, and she didn't want to satisfy her in her selfishness.

"Mother, my son is back!" The door opened, and the nine-year-old pushed it open and entered, smiling.

Upload it first, then fix it. I don't know if it's because I'm fast, or if it's the speed of piracy
