Martial arts crossing begins with the story of looking for Qin

589 Calm
Huang Shang just smiled and shook his head and said: "Don't be jealous. Without us, the Quanzhou Huang family was already the overlord of maritime trade. Korea is so close, so there is no need for many advanced ships. You are envious of the Quanzhou Huang family's trade with Korea. Those who don’t come, the Huang family of Quanzhou had contacts with Goryeo long before this dynasty, it seems that the father of the Huang clan chief, or someone from their family, died in Goryeo.”

Huang Jinyuan was stunned. He didn't know any of this. How did Huang Shang, a person who didn't hear anything outside the window, know?
Indeed, as soon as Huang Jinyuan learned the news, he wanted to follow the path of Luo Zheng, the Fujian transshipment envoy, who facilitated the communication between the Song Dynasty and Goryeo through businessmen.

Unfortunately, things backfired. Luo Zheng didn't give him any chance at all, but he didn't explain the reason.

Huang Jinyuan believed that Huang Shen wanted to monopolize this matter and crowd out other maritime merchants.

Huang Jinyuan also knew that Huang Shen did not need large ships built by himself to trade with Goryeo. If Huang Shen hadn't specially customized two super luxurious ships for him this time, and just used his previous, inferior boats, Huang Jinyuan would not have been so uncomfortable. .

Although the Huang family in Quanzhou has the largest overseas trade volume, and Huang Jinyuan has always cooperated happily with Huang Shen, in fact, he has long regarded himself as a maritime overlord.His ship is more advanced, his routes are farther, and his profits are higher. More importantly, there is a group of invincible pirates at sea who have a close relationship with him.In his opinion, the Quanzhou Huang family's maritime trade has always been safe and sound, which is really a blessing to him.

It's just that the relationship with the pirates really can't be known, otherwise Huang Shen will have to admit his love.

Huang Jinyuan did not ask Huang Shang how he knew this, but asked: "Is there really no chance?"

Huang Shang shook his head and said: "I have already said that Patriarch Huang's ability to trade with Goryeo was not due to the ships you built. Without you, he already had a very close relationship with Goryeo. This time he placed an order with you. It's purely Just take care of your business.”

It's not that he doesn't understand some things, it's just that understanding is one thing and being willing is another.

Huang Shang was really surprised by Huang Jinyuan's reaction. In his opinion, Huang Jinyuan had no hope of taking the imperial examination, so he should give up on his official career and just do business honestly. Isn't it good to be popular and drink spicy food?
Huang Shang really underestimated the influence of this scholarly family background. It turned out that even though Huang Jinyuan was now rich, he still had illusions about his official career.

Maybe it's not Huang Jinyuan's problem, but Huang Shang's own problem. It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong. Huang Jinyuan is the normal thought of most people, and it's just Huang Shang who's weird.

It's just that Huang Shang has already said that the Huang family in Quanzhou has this opportunity because of the influence of the Meng ancestor.It would be too wishful thinking for Huang Jinyuan to want to replace the efforts of several generations, including the sacrifice of blood and lives, with only his advanced technology, a little courage, and only ten years of hard work.

Huang Shang looked down upon Huang Jinyuan for having such an idea. Even if he was unable to challenge this trend, Huang Jinyuan thought too highly of himself.

Huang Jinyuan didn't speak, and Huang Shang stopped trying to enlighten him. For such an old man, if he still couldn't understand such a thing, his life was really in vain.

Huang Jinyuan was silent for a long time, watching Huang Shang hesitate to speak. Huang Shang was a little strange. The third brother seemed to have something to say.

It's just that Huang Shang never speaks first. He speaks when he wants to say something and doesn't speak when he doesn't want to. His hesitation is annoying.

Huang Jinyuan gritted his teeth for the last time and said: "Ninth brother, the sea is not calm. Without our escort, can he really arrive in Goryeo safely?"

Huang Shang was shocked. He understood Huang Jinyuan's meaning instantly and actually had the idea of ​​​​pirates.

Thinking of the friendly relationship with the Huang family in Quanzhou, Huang Jinyuan wanted to play evil in order to intervene in this matter. Isn't it too treacherous?
Huang Shang really felt that it was not good to do this, not because he felt sorry for the Huang family in Quanzhou, but to do so violated the principles he had set for Huang Feng, and was somewhat contradictory.

Huang Shang didn't nod, and Huang Jinyuan said quickly: "I'm not trying to do anything to them, I just want to cause them some trouble and let them know that the sea is not as safe as they think. Without us, they can't move forward."

Huang Jinyuan's words are not big. Huang Feng has been a pirate for more than ten years.At first, it only took a short time to integrate his team.He is different from other pirates in that he has a deep foundation on the mainland. Thanks to his collusion with Huang Jinyuan, he has developed extremely rapidly and has long been the largest pirate in this area.He always kept his promise to Huang Shang and would not rob the Song people. This was also one of the reasons why the Song people's maritime trade flourished.Huang Shang didn't nod, and Huang Jinyuan felt uneasy. He could have not told Huang Shang about this matter, but after all, it involved the court and the matter was serious. He didn't dare to act arbitrarily for fear of causing mistakes that he couldn't save.

Although Huang Shang didn't care about anything, both himself and his sixth brother Huang Feng regarded Huang Shang as the backbone.

Huang Shang asked: "How is Sixth Brother's power now?"

Hearing Huang Shang ask about Huang Feng's situation, Huang Jinyuan perked up and said: "Sixth brother is doing great things now. He has beaten all the pirates in this sea area to surrender. If you don't let him rob the Song people, he will take all the pirates with him." None of the pirates dared to touch the Song people, that’s why our Song people’s trade can be so prosperous.”

Huang Shang nodded and asked, "If he didn't rob the Song people, who would he rob?"

Huang Jinyuan said: "Mainly Koreans and Japanese. Luzon and Java in the south are also robbed by him from time to time."

Huang Feng's home base is north of the Sea of ​​Japan, mainly a place where Jurchens live. His personnel are mainly composed of Song people and Jurchens, as well as captured Koreans and Japanese.Going south to Java and Luzon seems not far away, but for a pirate, it is far away. After all, he is not doing it for trade.

Huang Shang asked: "When will the ship ordered by Chief Huang Shen be delivered?"

Huang Jinyuan said: "About half a year."

Huang Shang nodded and said, "Half a year is enough."

Although Huang Jinyuan didn't know what Huang Shang wanted to do, judging from his reaction, he undoubtedly supported him.

Huang Jinyuan asked urgently: "What should we do?"

Huang Shang said: "I haven't seen Sixth Brother for a long time, is it time to meet him?"

Huang Jinyuan asked in surprise, "Do you want Ninth Brother to go in person?"

Huang Shang smiled and nodded.

Huang Jinyuan was overjoyed. Huang Shang hadn't cared about anything for too long.

Blue sky and blue sea, meeting again after a long absence.The island is still the same as before. Huang Shang has been here before, but now it is no longer simple. Although the size of the dock is not that of Quanzhou, the facilities are still comprehensive and very convenient to use.

Huang Feng has been standing at the dock waiting for a long time. He is also very excited at the moment. Without the support of his ninth brother, he would not be where he is today.And the sudden visit of his ninth brother, who had never cared about him, after more than ten years, made Huang Feng a little uneasy. He wondered if he had not done enough, and Huang Shang came to investigate.
