Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

According to Da Zhou's algorithm, it was almost July at this time, and it had been ten months since it was calculated. Ling Qingyu stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the familiar sea area in front of him. It was already close to the territory of Da Zhou.

"The master." Shen Zhan rubbed his feet on the ground and called.

"Ah? Something?" Ling Qingyu asked with a smile. She liked the sailors Shen Zhan very much. She didn't talk much and was very willing to do it. She was very proficient at steering the sails this time, and after being trained by Yang Zhao for so long , Has turned from a technical worker to a combat effectiveness.

"Master, can the people in our village also go to Lingjia Village?" Shen Zhan asked, lowering his head.

"Huh?" Ling Qingyu didn't react for a while.

"Our villagers are very willing to work, and they are not afraid of hardships, and they will not have two minds," Shen Zhan said anxiously. Seeing Ling Qingyu's expression, he slowed down and said, "We, Shao Tian, ​​tax It’s so heavy. People starve to death every year. When we go out and run the boat, it’s hard to meet a good owner. Nine out of ten people die at sea. Now with you, you can have these good lives. If it is troublesome , You’re the master of the house, just treat it like I’ve never said it."

Seeing Shen Zhan blushing and turning around anxiously to leave, Ling Qingyu hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Wait, wait, I'm worrying about finding suitable people there to clear the wasteland. Some of you are the best. Come, come, Come with me, tell me, how many people are there and where do you live now? Let's figure out how to get people out."

Hearing Shen Zhan talked about the situation in his village, Ling Qingyu was unable to speak for a short time. Although he knew that Qiongzhou had always been the most oppressed, the situation was even more serious. The officials were greedy and the rich were indifferent. They regarded these poor people as small dogs. Not to mention this kind of squeeze, even food and clothing, let alone dignity.

"Shen Zhan, when you go back to the village, don't talk about the situation in the Ling family village. Just ask if you are willing to sell yourself to the Ling family. After a few years of hard work, you can repay your deeds or have some surplus money. People must choose well. , The head of the house can't be saved by anyone." Yang Zhao, who had been standing by and listening, said indifferently.

"I know, that kind of white-eyed wolf will never appear." Shen Zhan nodded. Song Li’s affair is more or less a thorn. Now the head of the house is willing to give everyone a way to survive, and he must not find those who will harm the head. Shen Zhan calmed down from the ecstasy that Ling Qingyu had agreed to at the beginning, and he couldn’t think about it. Come, you must choose carefully.

The heat in Quanzhou in July was full, and Fan Ye fell on the bed so hot that he shouted for more ice.

"Master, the heart is calm and naturally cool, no matter how much ice, it won't be good." Yang Clan shook his fan leisurely and said. With such a large sum of money last year, those shops in Ling's family are also very good in business. They are given a bonus during the New Year, and the income is very considerable. With this money, the life can be so good. As before, it can be done. Ice in the rooms.

"Hey, how can I calm down! You said, from last year to now, I have already gone out of multiple fleets? Why didn't I see one of them coming back?" Fan Ye frowned and sighed: " The Wang family kid said that last year’s spices were solved by me, and this year will surely be able to solve them. The sacred decree asked me to offer 150,000 catties of spices this year. I, I, I, I’ll go there to find it! "

"It's better to talk to shopkeeper Ding, and ask him to take out all the spices in the shop?" Yang stopped the fan. This is a major event, and if it is wrong, it is the crime of robbing the house.

"As already said, there are only two thousand catties left in the shops of Ling's family, and all the shopkeepers have been handed over." Fan Ye sighed deeply. Although Ling's family left some spices privately, how much could there be? It's been almost a year, and it would be nice to have two thousand catties.

"Then Ling's merchant ship has been gone for ten months, right?" Yang said, "Maybe it will be back soon?"

"It's hard to tell. It is reasonable to say that the catastrophe has passed so long, and navigation should be resumed, but none of the fleets that went out have returned. I don't know what happened to Fanwai." Fan Ye only felt that he was getting older. I had known this. I didn't turn in all the spices last year, and I only got a commendation. I didn't get any formal benefits.

"Master, Master, Lord Zhou is here."

Hearing the shouts of the servants outside, Fan Ye crawled out of the bed hurriedly and hurriedly called the girl to dress and wear shoes.

"Why don't you let him wait? Master, why are you so anxious?" Yang pushed the maid away and helped him get dressed.

"What do you know? This Zhou Hanming is the new favorite of the emperor, and the newly arrived commander of Fujian Road." Fan Ye glared at her and hurriedly walked to the front yard.

Zhou Hanming was standing in front of the hall looking at the calligraphy and painting on the wall, nodding in his heart. He was worthy of being a fan of the Fan family.

"Master Zhou, forgive me." Fan Ye arched his hands to Zhou Hanming with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, I came suddenly and disturbed Brother Fan to rest?" Zhou Hanming turned and sat back in the chair, picked up the teacup, and said, "Brother Fan, I have something important to come here this time."

Fan Ye was startled, thinking that there are still some days before the expiration date of the spice, isn't it today?

"Haha, Brother Fan is not a spice thing," Zhou Hanming smiled, then lowered his face: "Do you remember General Yang Zhaoyang?"

"Naturally remember, not by" Fan Ye made a beheading gesture.

"No, General Yang was sentenced to migrating at that time, and the place of migrating was Quanzhou," Zhou Hanming said, seeing Fan Ye's surprised look: "It's no wonder that Brother Fan didn't know that you hadn't assumed the position of Quanzhou at that time. Now the war in the north is happening again. Since then, the party members in the Northwest are also ready to move."

Fan Ye secretly slandered himself, what was about to move, was that the Zhao family could not fight back. But his face was very surprised and said, "How come? Isn't Marshal Zhao sitting in person?"

Zhou Hanming glanced at him and saw that his expression remained unchanged, and his heart said that the old fox, do you still want to put aside the Fan family? Said: "Brother Fan, let's not talk about that anymore. The current emperor wants to recruit Yang Zhao and the generals of Heishuiguan who had been evacuated together. I checked. They were sold to a shipping company by Zhizhou the year before. The owner of the shipping line is surnamed Ling, I wonder if Brother Fan has an impression."

This is so impressive! Fan Ye said: "I know this. Last year, their ship came back and solved the siege of Bianjing Spices, but General Yang was on their ship. I really don't know. When their ship returned last year, it is said that many sailors died. I have also been on that ship, and I have never seen anyone similar to General Yang."

Zhou Hanming's expression was unconscious, and he said, "Dead?"

Fan Ye shook his head and said: "I don't know the details, but after their boat went to sea last year, it has not returned. Let's not hide from Master Zhou, I am also waiting for their boat to come back to save my life."

Zhou Hanming's face turned darker. He thought he had found a clue. After being happy for a long time, he poured down a pot of cold water and poured it so cool. I knew this was the case, so I didn't pack tickets for Master Dong.

"Hey, if Master Fan has news about General Yang, please let me know as soon as possible. Your Majesty is going from Hangzhou Palace to Bianliang. I will also leave tomorrow and leave first." Zhou Hanming arched his hands.

Fan Ye sighed unconsciously when he sent Zhou Hanming away. The war in the north was not good. Last year's drought has not recovered. This year I am afraid that there will be floods in the lakes and lakes. At such a moment, the emperor only knows enjoyment. Still reluctant to leave Hangzhou Palace.

"Master, master."

Fan Ye said angrily: "Master, I am not dead, what is your name?"

"Well, news came from the dock, saying yes, it seems that a ship has returned." The servant took a step back and bowed his head.

Fan Ye was overjoyed when the boat came back, and said hurriedly, "Hurry up to prepare the horse for the lord and me, hurry up to the dock."

Ling Qingyu didn't expect to be greeted so enthusiastically by Fan Ye when he came back this time. Fan Ye's boat approached before the boat stopped.

"Oh, oh! I knew it was you, Master Ling!" Fan Ye's smile turned into a twist, but it is a pity that men and women are defensive, or he has the heart.

"Huh?" Ling Qingyu took a step back, and the gentle and elegant Master Fan turned into a wretched uncle.

"Come and come, let's see how many spices the master brought back this time." Fan Ye led the way to the captain's room.

It's not because you can't pay the emperor's post again!

Ling Qingyu followed to the captain’s room and sat in the next seat. Fortunately, all the gold was put in the dark cabin. The earned plus the robbed plus the raw gold refining totaled 900,000 taels of gold. She didn’t want to Was smoked and sold. There are also those jewels. The large ones were stuffed under the bed, and the small ones were put in the dark compartment. The most valuable spices were also put in better. Even so, the cargo in the cargo compartment was worth several million taels of silver.

"How many spices did the master bring back this time?" Fan Ye couldn't wait to ask as soon as he sat down.

Well, it is indeed a spice again. Ling Qingyu smiled and said: "This time the goods are a little mixed. If Master Fan only refers to the fragrance of agarwood, there will be more than 300,000 catties."

Seeing Fan Ye laughed and turned into a flower immediately, Ling Qingyu hurriedly said, "My lord, the purchase price of spices this time is very expensive, can you not buy so much this time?"

Fan Ye froze for a moment, then smiled: "Naturally, I won't let the Ling master suffer. This time I only need to buy 150,000 catties of spices, and the other items are only 10% tax. "

"So thank you, my lord!" Ling Qingyu hurriedly stood up and said salute.

"Hey, you're welcome, you're welcome." Fan Ye smiled.

"My lord," the little official who followed Fan Ye was full of surprise, ran into the room, and said in Fan Ye's ear: "My lord. It's amazing, the ship full of spices and treasures!"

Full of boats? Fan Ye fought a cold war. The Fengshen was afraid that it would not have tens of thousands of stones. What was the concept of a ship of spice goods?

"Well, if Master Ling doesn't mind, can you take me to see it together?" After clearing up his mood, Fan Ye smiled at Ling Qingyu.

"Naturally, Master Fan, please." Ling Qingyu bowed his hand and gave way to the door.

The cargo hold below has three floors, with a height of about four to five meters. Each floor is divided into ten independent compartments. Different types of cargo are placed in separate categories and neatly stacked.

"Three hundred ivory, two hundred rhino horn, 800 coral, 800 colored glaze, 1,000 gold silk cotton, 1,000 gold woven brocade, 500 fine colored glaze milled..." Fan Ye's heart was about to beat the same, how much money he would have to pay for these taxes alone!

"Pepper, 200,000 catties." The little official who reported the count took a long breath, okay, he has a dick, and now the pepper on the market is already three taels of silver and one catty of pepper, 200 thousand catties! Six hundred thousand taels of silver!

Fan Ye was already numb after the number report. Before taking office, he had conducted a detailed investigation of the Guangzhou Shipbuilding Department and made plans for Quanzhou. There are always tens of thousands of people engaged in shipping in Guangzhou, and there are also 20,000 to 30,000 people involved in foreign trade in Quanzhou. This is because Quanzhou does not have a license for the shipping department, so all the ships went to Guangzhou to go to sea. There are hundreds of shipping companies in Guangzhou. The biggest one is naturally Xie’s, a five-thousand-stone sea-going ship that can get up to 400,000 taels of goods back and forth, just because the frankincense agarwood sandalwood incense and the spices are really valuable and valuable. But they are collected by people in the mountains. There can be such a large amount for your family. If you spread out hundreds of sea ships, it is considered cruel that a family can get a tens of thousands of catties of spices. The Xie family took control. And when the Fengshen returned last year, it brought back so many spices. It can be said that it was due to the fact that there was no other ship after the catastrophe, but why is this more of it this time?

"By the way, there is something to be reported to the adults." Looking at Fan Ye's expression, Ling Qingyu said: "When we returned, we ran into the Three Buddhas who were destroying pirates. I heard that the pirates were entrenched in the strait. For several months, all the ships passing by have been poisoned. Fortunately, it is early in the past, or we are not only afraid of being poisoned.” Then he pointed to Ram, who was standing at the door of the cargo hold, and said: “And this one , It is Mr. Ram of Zhu Luo, half of the cargo on the ship is his. Ram is a big merchant of Zhu Luo. The ship broke down in Daguang, so he took my ship."

Hearing what she said, Ram rolled his eyes in his heart, but he politely bowed and said, "I have seen Master Fan."

This is no wonder, I said that she was a little girl who just started shipping, how could she have such a large capital, but this time foreign merchants, the court has a preferential treatment, but it can’t be based on the Ling’s lottery. How good?

Seeing him fall asleep, Ling Qingyu immediately handed over the pillow and said, "Don't worry, your lord, this person is the first time to come to our Dazhou and I don't know the situation. I just told him that everything is calculated according to mine, but the adults are explaining. You can only write my name on the bill."

"Haha, it's easy to say, this cargo is naturally yours in the head of Ling." Fan Ye smiled, and he had a good impression of Ling Qingyu in his heart. As for whether Ling Qingyu would be greedy for other people's money, look at that foreign land. No one said anything, what am I worried about.

After looking at the cargo hold, Fan Ye sighed and walked onto the deck. It’s so popular. Even if most of the people here belong to that person, after the purchase, the whole cargo will be worth millions of dollars. If it sells well , Tens of millions of dollars are possible, even if you want to get rid of that person's money, the Ling family himself would have to have three million taels. Hey, how good was it to buy shares in her shipping line after listening to his wife.
