Chongwen smiled and said: "This is the sea route, and the Municipal Bureau does not accept small boats, so we can't afford to pay for it." We only sell more than 200 large ships Dragon King Flag, no matter what kind of goods each ship is, 2,000 taels of silver to buy water, we provide a pair of licenses, a flag.
As for these silver taels, Longwang Island will not swallow them alone, and they should be divided equally according to the size of the output. In addition to the sharing of water money, each city bureau will purchase water supplies in a unified manner, which will be paid for by various places, and the city bureau will also hire your ships to serve the maritime fleet, which is also a major source of income for you. ”
Shihisa Kazakura and Nine Ghost Jialiang looked at each other blankly, and suddenly jumped up in unison, hugged each other tightly, and shouted like crazy: "We are rich! We are rich!!"
These poor and squeezed sailors are not worth the money for a merchant ship to buy water when they add all their belongings. A boat is 2,000 taels, and a hundred or a thousand are how much it is, and if this route prospers, the wealth created will be amazing. They couldn't believe that they had actually encountered Dragon King Island, could it really be that the gods in the sky had been blessed.
Liu Guan sneered and shouted: "Don't be happy too early, there is no such easy money in the world." If you want to make a living on this route, you must first be like Dragon King Island, fight hard for this route, and bleed. ”
Huashan Shijiu let go of the Nine Ghosts Jialiang and said loudly: "We are not afraid of death, we are not afraid of bloodshed, and His Royal Highness has a life, and he will not give up his death." ”
Liu Guan pointed to the sea chart, and there was a large blank area south of Longwang Island, and he said slowly: "From the south of Amami Oshima to Dongfan Oshima, there is a Ryukyu Kingdom in the middle, which is a Dakang domain. The Ryukyus are divided into three parts, from north to south, which are the Sanbei Province, the Nakayama Province, and the Sannan Province, becoming the three mountains of the Ryukyus.
These three kingdoms are enshrined only carefully, and my Dakang Shenwu Emperor has his own canonization and does not interfere in the affairs of the domain. Now that we want to open up this new route, we must control the Ryukyus in our hands, otherwise it will be a void for our mother. Aren't you worried about starving people to death due to lack of food in the spring? Then go to Ryukyu, which is said to be very rich, and it is not unreasonable for you to give them a little warning first. ”
Nine Ghost Jialiang said loudly: "The Kumano Water Army will never let the Kayama family fight alone, I will go back to Kumano immediately, report to my brother, and we will go south immediately." ”
Chongwen waved his hand to stop him, and said slowly: "What are you anxious about, you want to open up the entire new route, and there is also the stumbling block of the Hosokawa family's Awa Navy and Awaji Navy Army." Even though they're just a piece of now, you're still going to keep an eye on them when I get back from Hirado and kick them out completely, understand?"
Nine Ghost Jialiang was a little frustrated, lowered his head and said, "Yes, the Nine Ghost Family obeys orders." ”
Erchuhai said with a smile: "Jialiang, you don't have to be discouraged, they can make a small fortune in the Ryukyus, but if you want Sanshan to be completely obedient, it is not something that can be done with a winter tailwind robbery." Sanshan is very obedient to the Celestial Empire, and he knows that His Royal Highness King Yan has not passed on the Ryukyu to arrest Kang Shang, and the war is still to come. ”
Nine Ghost Jialiang was excited at this time, and he wanted to know how much effort he had contributed to the new route, and how much water he would be able to get in the future. A good thing like looting the Ryukyus, that is, you can earn a lot of money, and it will be added in the future, where to find this good thing. But it seems that Ryuo Island is ready to make a move on the Hosokawa family, and the Ataka boat also makes him salivate.
Chongwen turned his head to Kayama Shihisa and said, "When you arrive in Ryukyu, please pass on a message to the Three Kingdoms for me: I want everyone in Ryukyu to respect Ryuwang Island." All ships passing by under the flag of the dragon king of the rolling sea, from the royal family to the beggars, must pay tribute to the dragon king flag and meet all the requirements of the ship.
I want to set up a city bureau in the Three Kingdoms, and I want these city offices to be equivalent to the Miyama Palace, and every official of the city bureau is the king of the Ryukyus. If any Ryukyuan people dare to invade the city, I will judge their king, hang him, raze their cities to the ground, kill their men, and sell their women and children to the most barbaric of the southern barbarian countries. ”
Liu Guan laughed and said loudly: "If brothers are incompatible, they only deserve to be trampled under our feet." Even if he is as fierce as a pirate in the country, he shuddered at the gloom in Chongwen's tone. It is true that the great benevolence and righteousness of the great go to sea are true, but if they want to stand in his way, he will never tolerate it, which of these guys has not let him rectify it ruthlessly, and he is not afraid that it is false.
Chongwen looked at the chief soldier Shun, and said for a long time: "Ah Shun, I'm afraid I have to ask you for this trip to the Ryukyus, otherwise I'm afraid that half of these ships won't be able to reach the Ryukyus, who let them have our Dragon King Banner in their hands." You also have to make the nautical chart, the nautical chart is our future, and this matter must be yours. ”
Chief Bingshun said: "Since it is ordered by the Great Voyage, then what else is there to say, I will go, but I can't talk much." ”
Chongwen lay on the balcony fence and shouted below: "Ayi, your words are good, you bring a group of our people, and then bring a son and mother gun to protect Ah Shun." Your wife Ah Yun was also sent to Longwang Island for settlement, as well as the copper, tin and lead, rice, pickles, refined salt, paper and pens purchased for Longwang Island on our ship, and they were also brought back to Longwang Island. ”
Xu Yi shouted: "My words are about to come, and I can't talk about it." ”
Bai Jie smiled: "Then how do you talk to your wife?"
Xu Yi shouted: "Two people still need to talk to live a life? ”
The people of Dragon King Island burst into laughter.
Kayama Shihisa knew that it was Dragon King Island that saved him after all. In fact, he had long been riding a tiger and gathered so many people, and it turned out that it was purely a dream to go to Dakang to loot, and these unruly guys did not demolish his Fangjin City.
Now that he finally has a better place to go, that is, to obtain the property and explain to the pirates in the port, this self-imposed difficulty is over. He sincerely bowed to the chief soldier and said, "Lord General Bingshun, please." ”
The general soldier said impatiently: "Don't be polite, do you want to row a small morning boat across the sea? You have to make some preparations these days, your pirates are idle and eat for nothing, let them do something serious. ”
The old sailor pointed to Kaiwenyue not far away, and said, "In the past few days, you have gone to the mountains to cut wood, selected timber that is two feet high and one foot in circumference, and harvested hundreds of trees. Use these logs to connect the small mornings, line up every three small mornings, and connect them into a raft with three horizontal logs, and set sails on them, otherwise your small mornings will fall apart if you can't get to Yakushima. ”
The cold sweat of the birch mountain father and son flowed down the sideburns, without this Dakang old man going to sea, let alone Dakang, Ryukyu would not be able to arrive. The strong on the sea are respected, how dare Huashan Zijiu disobey the general soldiers, and he can't help nodding yes.
The people of Dragon King Island were a little impatient. If it weren't for the fool of Shihisa Kayama, they should have eaten and drunk in Fangjin Castle by now, turned over the rivers and seas with their old friends, and gambled happily in those dilapidated shacks in the castle town.
Now that those crab-like pirates have taken possession of their wine, meat, and women, it is better to get out of this place as soon as possible. However, the cargo to Longwang Island has to be unloaded onto the Guan ship of the Huashan family, and the chief soldier Shun can't take these fools to Ryukyu with his bare hands, and he must always give a gun and enough ** cannons.
Also loading the boat with some Hozu shochu, as well as cinnamon and damn radishes from Shihisa Kayama. It is a terrible thing to have no vegetables on the ship, and after a long time, you will get septicaemia and die a miserable death.
In order to escape from Fangjin quickly, the people of Longwang Island scolded and scolded but worked very hard, and finally finished the work that should be done in the middle of the night. But he was exhausted and didn't want to move. When I woke up, it rained again at dawn, and winter rain was not a new occurrence in the South Satsuma Peninsula.
Liu Guan, who couldn't bear it anymore, still ordered to set sail, leaving the chief soldier Shun and Xu Yi, and they also had to lead these sea crabs to Ryukyu. Li Qiqian, the cannon, scolded loudly, and was eager to fire at the harbor, killing a few fools in the harbor to vent his anger, and was finally stopped by Chongwen.
The Bloodbird ship pulled anchor in the drizzle and set sail, slowly leaving the chaotic Kushi Bay, sparing Cape Noma and sailing towards the northwestern islands. There are two roads from Bozu Castle to Hirado Port, or along the broken western coast of Kyushu, first to Nagasaki and then to Hirado. Or sail straight to the open sea, passing through Shimokoshiki Island, the Goto Islands, and then to Hirado Island.
The bird ship has a large hull and is not afraid of sailing in the open sea, so the bird ship still took the far sea route. As for the mapping of the west coast of Kyushu, we can only talk about it next time.
In the cabin, Chongwen hugged Yanchun and taught her to recite the "Thousand Character Text" sentence by sentence: "Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate." The sun and the moon are shining, and the sun and moon are shining. The cold comes and the summer comes, and the autumn harvest is hidden in winter. Leap more than the age of adulthood, Lu Lu tunes the yang... Chongwen read a sentence, Yanchun followed along, Hanako wrote the words on the paper, and Chongwen, who didn't know, patiently corrected it again and again.
Chongwen didn't get bored at all. In the palace, where is the fun of the Son of Heaven teaching his son, teaching the prince and King Huai to read is really unattainable. I didn't expect that in the bleak sea, in this swaying cabin, there was such fun.
Yanchun is very healthy, in the end, she is the daughter of the sea, she does not look dizzy and uncomfortable at sea, she eats well and sleeps soundly, which makes Chongwen very relieved. The grandmother always had a straight face, and she looked downcast, which made Chongwen very unhappy. He doesn't want his daughter to grow up like this bird, but fortunately, with Hanako by his side, Yanchun always has a happy time.
It wasn't until the follower Kayama Yoshimasa came in to report that Chai Demei was here, that Chongwen put down Yanchun and came to the compass cabin. Nowadays, there are more and more catfish affairs, in addition to being in charge of the direct warehouse, when the chief soldier is not there, he is also responsible for surveying and mapping the nautical charts, and helping Liu Guan control the compass cabin when the second soldier is not there.
So Yizheng and Laicainiu became Chongwen's new followers, but Chongwen didn't trust Yizheng very much.
This kid's ruthlessness is one thing, and the more important layer is that he hasn't lived and died with Dragon King Island. However, Chongwen is not afraid to keep this little pepper by his side, and the murderous aura on this child makes Chongwen like it. Chongwen is not afraid of killers, nor is he afraid of stupid people, he is afraid of inconsistencies from his heart, from Dakang courtiers to Ouchi Yoshihiro, he always feels that he is a gullible person.
