The nine ghosts didn't have any reason to disagree, and hugged the heavy black letter tightly in their arms, for fear that they would run away with long legs. Regardless of Kang Yan, there are almost no loans with an annual interest rate of 4 cents, and this sub is only 5 percent, and it is repaid in 20 years, almost borrowing money for nothing, which is really helpful.

Chongwen turned his head to look at Shijiu Huashan lying on the couch, and after a while, he finally laughed and said, "I said you were a fool, and now I still think so, but I like you who are not afraid of death." You lost most of your ships in this battle, many of your retainers were killed in battle, and you were also wounded, all for the sake of the new route of the mother, as a friend, it is the responsibility of Ryuo Island to help you.

That's 500 taels of gold, enough for you to buy ships, recruit retainers, and recover. Not only that, but you also need to develop people's livelihood and make your city and seaport prosperous as soon as possible. Of course, this money is also a loan, and the conditions are the same as those of the Nine Ghost Family.

In the future, the Nine Ghosts will control the entire sea lanes of the Dongqi Kingdom, and your fleet will control the sea lanes of the Nanqi Kingdom. From Hirado to Akijo, do you take the Seto Inland Sea or your route? It depends on how well you do the Fuzu Navy. Look at your broken city, if I don't dare to trust you, your few broken ships can't even protect yourself, how can you protect the mountains of goods. ”

Huashan Zijiu wanted to get up and salute, Chongwen held him down and said: "There is no need for this between friends, if you are my retainer, I will receive your courtesy, and I will not help you to be self-reliant, do you understand?"

Huashan said weakly: "I am too poor, I have nothing, only three sons. Let Yizheng recognize you as your father, convert to the sea, and don't have to return home, let him serve you forever. ”

Chongwen patted his hand lightly and said: "It's still unjust to take people's money, how can there be a reason to take people's heirs, let him follow me for a few years, and he must be your good helper when he returns to the Huashan family, do you understand?"

Kayama Zijiu couldn't say anything with tears in his eyes, but he couldn't stop nodding. Half a month ago, the strange man on the other side beat himself to death, what a gloomy and humiliating moment, how could he never have imagined that the great sea was actually a living Bodhisattva with great benevolence and righteousness, saving the suffering and saving the suffering, what he said was not wrong, follow him to fight again, the fate of the Huashan family is really going to change.

Chongwen stood up and walked slowly a few steps, before he said as he walked: "If my things go well, maybe I will soon leave the country, and you will soon return to your home city, and the day of separation is not far away." Without me, you are the only ones who will keep you safe, and you must trust each other, unite as one, and help each other.

Don't follow the example of those guards and generals of your country, thinking that they are insidious and vicious, treacherous, and betraying allies is a strategy. That's just a rooster and dog thief, and it can't be a big business, even if you become a shogun, it can't last long.

Do you remember what Nohime said? It's all about people's hearts. The wisdom of our Dakang is that the country is not in danger in Germany. You will get as much as you help people, and there may be betrayal and betrayal, but you must gain more than you lose. Only when you are loved by others can you become the dragon and phoenix among people, Ze and your descendants, do you know?"

Chongwen sincerely hopes that his two friends will grow stronger, and if they are strong, they will be equivalent to strangling the messy pirates in the Seto Inland Sea. If the Kang Yen merchant ships all took the southern and eastern routes of Kyushu, the financial resources of the Seto Inland Sea would dry up and the new routes would grow, and Ryuo Island would be the one who really mastered the new routes.

If this grand blueprint can really be realized, it will bring more than just gold and silver, the real meaning is that he will become the master behind the scenes of the country, no matter how Dakang arrests himself, it is impossible to succeed.

But Chongwen clearly knew that it was unrealistic to expect Kumano and Fangzu, they were too weak and had no possibility of growing up in the short term. He also needs more powerful allies, tying them to great interests, making the new route an unstoppable tide of history, and crushing all those forces that stand in the way.

On the other side of the sea, the black-clothed monk tried to control the shogunate with the exploration trade, so that the shogunate could eradicate the hidden danger of the Yongji throne for Dakang. The shogunate tried to monopolize the trade in goods, so as to break the dominance of the powerful and consolidate the authority of the shogunate.

Daikan and the shogunate temporarily formed an alliance, the most powerful force in the East China Sea, seemingly invincible. However, Chongwen knew that this alliance was too fragile, and as long as the chain of exploration and trade was destroyed, the alliance would not exist.

This exploration trade has hurt too many people, and these people are just as powerful. As long as they unite and turn against themselves, they will first destroy the Kankai trade, and then destroy the shogunate, and establish a kingdom that will benefit Ryuo Island. Perhaps, in the end, it will shake the throne under Yongji's ass and let Dakang truly face the sea.

Chongwen didn't get off the ship in the past few days, locked himself in the cabin to draw nautical charts, and when he was tired, he thought about his next step. The catfish boy and the deacon monk of Shitennoji Temple checked the accounts repeatedly, and the servants were all delicate, and the monks were no exception, so the catfish boy had a lot of trouble talking, and finally filled the boats of Kumano and Fangzu.

The nine ghosts took their leave first, and he and Renshan Congjiro had already negotiated the details of the cooperation, and they wanted to hurry back to Kumano to prepare goods and establish a trade line.

Huashan Zijiu couldn't sit still, he wanted to hurry to the Yanbao Islands to ** the ship. Of course, shipbuilding is also possible in Sakai Port, but the ships here are more expensive and of slightly lower quality, and the best small boat workshops in Japan are located on the Shiobu Islands. Although Huashan is not short of money now, the poor pirate leader still has to be careful and not afraid of danger.

The day after the nine ghosts left, Huashan also endured the pain and hurriedly took his leave.

The days passed like water, except for going to the police beep station to redeem a few Dragon King Island people who were fighting and causing trouble, Chongwen never got off the boat. Think about the faint sky when he first got on the ship, the current Chongwen is simply a part of the ship, in a few months, everything has become different, whether it is physical or mental, the Chongwen of the past has disappeared.

I have to say that the temple power of the country is really strong, they are not guards, but they are more powerful than guards. They have the hearts and minds of the people, countless wealth in their hands, and strong monk soldiers, and no ruler dares to ignore the power of the monks. The former shogunate deacon Yoshisho Spo offended the Kyoto temple forces and was easily brought down by Michiyu Sasaki.

What's even more strange is that the monks not only drink wine and eat meat, but also marry wives and have children, and there are groups of wives and concubines. Therefore, the Sangha has also become a hereditary force, and it is unthinkable in Dakang for the descendants to inherit the Dharma and continue to preside over the temple and influence the believers.

Shitennoji Temple is the largest Sangha in Kuncheng, with a history of nearly 1,000 years, and it can be called a tree with deep roots, and it is absolutely possible to preside over the things promised by Nakatsu in the sea. Sure enough, in the three-day appointment, a large number of goods were transported to the wharf, and the small workers of the country loaded and unloaded the goods quickly, and the delivery was completed in half a day, which made the people of Longwang Island very depressed.

That night, the second went to sea for fear that Chongwen would get sick in the cabin, so he invited a few geisha from Sakaicheng to board the ship to relieve Chongwen's boredom. These geisha shaved their eyebrows and painted thick ** on their faces, Liu Guan deliberately found teeth that were not blackened, they were not too old, and they didn't pay attention to their skills, anyway, no one of the Dragon King Islanders could appreciate it.

Although he has only been in Qicheng for a few days, he already knows the entertainment industry of Qicheng well, and there is a miracle of sleeping four oirans in one night, which makes the people of Longwang Island greatly admire. Chongwen walked out of the cabin and shouted and drank on the deck with his brothers, singing and dancing with the maids, but also happy.

The geisha are not very old, one male performer sits on his knees and plays a single string, and four female dancers either beat a small drum or clapping their hands and sing and dance, their eyes are flowing, lively and playful, provoking a group of sailors to laugh loudly, very lively.

Liu Guan stabbed the rich cow, and the giant didn't get off the boat in the past few days, and now he and the catfish boy have become Chongwen's second generals, protecting Chongwen's safety every step of the way. Chongwen didn't go ashore, this big guy naturally didn't have much fun, Liu couldn't bear to care about it, so he prepared a surprise for the wealthy cow.

The giant looked back, and Liu Guan dragged out a fat woman from the crowd sitting cross-legged, and said to Lai Cainiu: "I made a bet with this female sumo wrestler, as long as you fall her, she will sleep with you." Xu Hai said with a grin. Lai Cai Niu was actually able to have some simple Chinese conversations, and immediately nodded his head in agreement.

It turns out that female sumo wrestling is also a female wrestling in the country, and it is very popular among the nobles and guardians of the daimyo. This woman is the first person in Qicheng, she has never had an opponent, and she was fooled by Liu Guan to come to the boat, how did she know that the opponent was a 7-foot giant.

The discussion was decided, and Liu Guan drove the group of tricks aside, vacated the venue, and dragged the female sumo to the center. Laicai Niu stood on the deck of the ship like a god, and the woman's sumo wrestling legs were weak, how could this be brought down by manpower. But at this point, I can only bite the bullet.

I saw that in addition to her outer robe, she was only wearing a crotch cloth, and the two huge futons caused a burst of exclamations, and Chongwen had already patted her knees and laughed. The female sumo wrestling took a posture and rushed up to jam the waist and abdomen of the rich cow, with a female roar, the whole body exerted force, and the eyeballs bulged out, where can it shake the slightest.

The people of Longwang Island saw the divine power of the wealth cow in the Mogalo Yuwang Temple, and knew that the maid was a grasshopper shaking the tree, but such interesting things were rare, and they all cheered for the maid.

Amid the cheers, Lai Cainiu lifted the women's sumo bun from top to bottom with one hand, pulled it off the deck, and threw it into the crowd. In a cry of regret, the sailors were smashed over, and Wang Shishi shouted: "Three wrestles and two wins, this game is not counted!"

After properly wrestling the female sumo wrestling three times, the wealthy cow helped the woman up, looked up and down, and was quite satisfied. Liu Guan took out the gambling contract, and smiled at the maid, the maid had already been impressed by the power of the Fortune Cow, how unwillingly, Liu Guan dragged the two of them to the cabin, and they tossed them.

After a while, I only felt that the deck was like a bear fighting, the vibration was violent, the passionate female voice was thrilling, and the people on Dragon King Island cheered. A few servants also covered their mouths and laughed, how could this wine not be happy.

While indulging in joy, a guest came to the ship, and it turned out to be the deacon monk of Shitennoji Temple. The middle-aged monk bowed with one hand and said, "Master Juehai is grateful for His Highness's kindness, please go to sea to drink tea." ”

Liu Guan looked at the deacon monk coldly and said: "If you have something, just say it, you don't have to drink tea, it's so late, it's not safe to enter the city." ”

The deacon monk said, "No one in the city will be disrespectful to the guests of the Four Heavenly Kings Temple, so don't worry about going to sea. ”

Liu Guan said: "Don't say more, unless you let you carry military armor, you won't go to sea." ”

The deacon monk was embarrassed and said, "The Huihe has its own law, and it is not easy for the master of the sea to disobey. ”

Chongwen said: "Qicheng is not Longtan Tiger's Den, you guys are not good in the city these days, Master Juehai is a believer, it will not be unfavorable to me, don't worry about going to sea twice, I will come when I go." ”

Liu Guan frowned and said, "Then I'll accompany you." ”

Chongwen said with a smile: "You can't be on the boat, just let the catfish boy and the fortune cow follow me, and it will be fine." ”

Liu Guan got down to the bottom cabin and pulled out the fortune cow that was coming to Emperor Hu Tianhu. The three of Chongwen unsheathed their blades and followed the deacon monk off the boat, and two warrior monks flashed out of the darkness, holding high the Ba-shaped sword and following behind Chongwen and his party to protect their safety.

Haili Qinglin Yanghao leaned into the ear of Liu Guan and whispered: "This matter is strange, you must guard against it." ”

Er Chuhai looked at the backs of Chongwen and his entourage, nodded slightly, looked back at the women, and said in a low voice: "Leave these maids behind, take off their clothes, and find a few short brothers to change into their clothes later, and go to the city to protect them in the left and right of the Four Heavenly Kings Temple." ”

Hai Liqing nodded silently and went down to make arrangements.
