After the Lantern Festival, some places are convenient to regard as a festival, just two or three days later, a merchant ship came to the island. There was no recommendation from the fishermen on the other side, and it was a boat that was not allowed to approach this. But during this special period, Peng Jianjun put them ashore.

At the entrance of the alley where Peng Jianjun was guarding, there were veterans of the year on many fishing boats. Not only do they have to fish, but they also have to observe some dynamics at sea, and Peng Jianjun often leads the team himself.

Before the accident happened, Peng Jianjun trained his sailors in the sea area opposite. Peng Jianjun is also good, honest and thrifty, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and gets along well with the fishermen. Among the commanders of the navy over the years, he is the only one who does not loot the people's finances and does not exploit the fishermen. The fishermen on the other side of the river loved him.

In fact, in recent years, it has been forbidden for the Central Plains to go to sea to do business, but the rules are alive after all. There are always merchants who will smuggle some goods to trade on this. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and he may be able to deceive the people above, but he can't deceive the fishermen who work at sea day and night. Therefore, whether there will be merchants who will bring supplies over, the fishermen on the other side of the shore will know in advance.

Over the years, Peng Jianjun would often take the fishing boat to secretly contact the fishermen on the other side of the shore to learn about the information on the other side. Confirm the identity of some of the merchants, as well as the true purpose. At the same time, they also learned that the Central Plains had been generally calm in recent years, and they had no intention of sending troops here.

A few months ago, the two "illegal traders" who appeared on the island were actually notified in advance by the fishermen. Therefore, after the two people go ashore, they will often be in the eyes of their own people, which also makes them have a general grasp of the enemy's situation.

And this time, the fishermen did not give Peng Jianjun any signal, and Peng Jianjun contacted him several times, but he did not see the fishermen. There seems to be a lot of information here.

If the fishermen are absolutely unable to do so, or if it is very inconvenient for them to come forward, then there seems to be only one possibility - there is a strong force on the other side to control the fishermen, or at least to suppress them.

And this merchant ship, which appeared precisely at this time, will only be chartered. What kind of people will this be!

Peng Jianjun did not rush to make a move, there are too many unknown factors. He had made contact with the merchant ship, and there weren't many people on the other side of the ship, so he put them on it, just like the two last time, at least it was still under control.

The ships on the opposite side were ornate and outwardly resembling merchants, but few merchants were so extravagant and wasteful. After all, the average businessman is not very profitable. There are too many suspicious factors on the other side, Peng Jianjun didn't do it all at once, since these people don't pose much threat for the time being, then let them go. After all, there is still a lot to do in this that is controlled by one's own people.

In fact, this is also the situation that Li Huimin asked Peng Jianjun to go over, and Cheng Jigong and others had conjectures. The two people who appeared last time were dealt with, but they were actually considered. Since the fisherman gave the information, it means that the two people last time were secretly or even personally instigated, so it would not be a big deal to kill them. This time, however, the many vulnerabilities displayed on the other side indicate that they are much more high-profile. Luxurious ships, perhaps these people are from the great forces on the other side. In recent years, the relationship between Bay Island and the Central Plains on the other side of the strait has been extremely delicate and peaceful, and Li Huimin and others have considered trying to avoid taking the lead in tearing their faces with each other.

Peng Jianjun and the others didn't make a move, and let this luxurious ship go ashore. The fortifications on the island are hidden, and what Hengyu has to do is to be a young master and confuse the enemy. Showing weakness is a better way to protect yourself.

The merchants who came from the ship had a lot of gold, but they didn't bring any merchandise with them. It's not big, and I haven't exported any special products, so it seems a little unreasonable to come here to buy supplies.

As soon as the people on the ship came ashore, the first thing they did was to buy a large homestead in the city. Then there are many things to find out on it. Of course, most of the conversations are conducted from the business side. The people on the table are all very cautious in their answers, at least on the surface.

These businessmen, after finding out some information and settling down, came to visit the ruler here, Li Huimin, after a day or two.

"Patriarch Li, I heard that you are the person in power in this area, a few ignorant people in the past few days, come to visit late, and I hope the patriarch will forgive me. "It's flattering, but it's less respectful.

"Nothing, nothing. Li Huimin is still so elegant, "I just don't know what the purpose of your visit to this island is." ”

"Tell you the truth, Patriarch, you know at a glance that we are merchants, and we want to do some business on it. ”

"Oh, yes? I see you didn't bring any merchandise. I'm curious if you're trying to buy something from us. I don't know what you like on this small island, but to be honest, I would be happy to work for the benefit of the people here. ”

"Let the patriarch laugh, in fact, we are just some people. We're just here to see if there's a market on the island. If I could, my master would bring some goods later. ”

"Yes, what kind of goods will you bring?" Li Huimin did not ask why several subordinates could be so glamorous. If the so-called "subordinates" in front of them are not so glamorous, it is estimated that they will directly find a reason not to let them go ashore. At this moment, Li Huimin also became a businessman.

"We know that we can sell some fish products on this, but I think these are not enough for us. So what we want to do is to exchange the tea leaves from the Central Plains and some foods that can be stored for a long time. I wonder if Patriarch Li agrees?"

"Oh, yes? Actually, I don't have much power in this. I don't have the right to care what kind of business you do. In fact, as long as our people are willing to trade with you, it is enough. But I'm pretty much in favor of the idea. ”

"Really? Thank you, Patriarch Li. With your words behind us, we are relieved, and I think it will not be long before our master will come here. I hope that when the time comes, we will be able to cooperate happily. ”

Both sides seemed to get the news they wanted from each other, and they didn't continue talking. When the other few people had left, Cheng Jigong and them walked out of the side hall. Wang Chong, Peng Jianjun, Hengyu, Lone Wolf, etc. are all there.

"Brother Cheng, what do you think?" In addition to Li Huimin, the most vocal person here belongs to Cheng Jigong.

"It's still the group of dog minions who can't put down their posture. However, judging from the words they just revealed their suspicion of sycophancy, it can be judged that they do not seem to be the ones sent by the top. Otherwise, in their original attitude, they would never have used visits to obtain information so cautiously. ”

"I think so, too, and I think that the forces they are sending at the moment may be something we can afford. As long as we don't give them a chance to report to them. I think it's possible that this is another conspiracy. Li Huimin took Cheng Jigong's words and analyzed.

Several elders analyzed this, and they all nodded, indicating that they all understood. And a few young people were really confused, so they had to sigh that they and others still had a lot to learn.

The rest of the day was spent waiting for those subordinates to report back to their masters what they had received, and then waiting for the next thing to develop.
