Wind rises time and space gate
Chapter 283 Lord Yue Island
"Your Majesty," Fang Da shouted as he strode towards the seaside.
Seeing that Zhao Guangyuan didn't respond, he didn't care. He walked straight to him, took a step back and sat down cross-legged, took the melon from the waiter's hand, and took a few bites, which was so refreshing that it penetrated his heart and spleen.
The melon grows well, and there will be a bumper harvest this year, so they can all eat it happily.
Although the prince wants to sell it for money, there is no shortage of food for everyone.
After Fang Da finished eating one tooth, Zhao Guangyuan turned around and asked him, "What's the matter?"
Fang Da moved his butt forward, "Your Highness, the boat to the coast has returned. The two boats of watermelon it brought have been sold out, and the supply exceeds demand. The transaction of 100,000 stone grains has also been completed, and they have all returned in exchange for specialties from various places, and dried seafood. At most, I have actually received some good goods this time, all of which are first-class products and can be sold at a good price."
Zhao Guangyuan listened quietly, with the majestic sea in front of him and the sound of waves crashing, but his mind was thinking about what Fang Da said...
One hundred thousand catties of watermelon were loaded into two boats, and they were told to sell them to the more prosperous cities along the coast and further south. One catty was charged two hundred coins, and one hundred thousand catties could earn twenty thousand taels of silver. One hundred thousand shi of grain, one stone of 800 taels, can earn 80,000 taels of silver. This trip took eight ships and took half a month to make a profit of 100,000 taels.
In addition, by bartering with the locals to buy coastal and seaside specialties, and then transporting them to the north, it is estimated that they can make a lot of profits back. In this way, the merchant ships make two trips a month, which can cover the entire cost of 50,000 troops and horses, and there is still a lot left over.
Now that the trade route has been cleared, it is getting smoother and smoother, which makes him feel relieved.
"Will this trip to sell food go smoothly?"
Fang Da nodded, "It went very smoothly. It's all a well-established business. The fishermen in the coastal villages sent their boys to wait on the shore early. As soon as they saw our boat appearing, they immediately turned around and ran to the village. After a while, the villagers carried it on their shoulders. The piggybackers showed up and exchanged their saved seafood for food with us..."
Fang Da burst out laughing when he thought of that scene.
Two years ago, their business with coastal villages was not so smooth.
There is little arable land in the coastal villages, so they all rely on fishing at sea to make a living. However, there are pirates and bandits on the sea, and the catch is very rare. It is difficult to drag it back to the shore, and there are also local gangsters on the shore.
Either forcibly confiscated or lowered prices, it is extremely difficult for coastal fishermen to survive, and there are many who sell their sons and daughters.
Since they opened fertile fields on several islands and obtained high-yielding grain seeds brought by the prince, apart from the food for their own people, they could still have almost half of them left. He, Sun Ze and others reported to the prince and sailed to the coast. Village vending.
As a result, as soon as their ship docked, nine out of ten rooms were empty.
At that time, I thought the seaside was full of deserted villages.
Later I found out that when the fishermen saw them coming in a big boat, they thought they were pirates. The people watching on the shore saw them and hurried back to the village to report the news. Everyone, young and old, packed up their belongings and ran away without a trace.
Until I saw that the grain they sold was cheaper than that in the city, eight hundred coppers per stone, which works out to six or seven coppers per catty, and they even delivered it to their doorsteps. Those who were bold tried to trade some rice grains with them, and sold them again. I bought some of my family's seafood and dried it. Seeing that the other party was kind, I really gave him copper coins, and the price of the seafood was not reduced.
So, once it was passed on to ten, it was passed on to hundreds, and the business was done.
Nowadays, as long as you see a big ship with a "moon" flag hanging on it from a distance, you are very welcome, and you can't wait to beat gongs and drums to celebrate. Boys and girls run to the beach and look into the sea every day, hoping that the "moon" boat will appear.
The people on the "Moon" boat said that they were the subordinates of the Moon Island Master. They had never met the Moon Island Master, but they were all good people.
Not only did he help them wipe out the pirates along the coast and let them go to sea without worries, he also sold them good food at a cheap price. They also sold their cloth, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other daily necessities, and collected their harvests from the sea and dry harvests at high prices, even the bamboo weavings made by the elderly at home in their spare time.
Nowadays, everyone in the coastal villages lives and works in peace and contentment. With the owner of Yue Island helping to clean up the nearby waters, it is much safer for them to go to sea. All the fish they catch can be kept in their pockets and they can sell them at a good price. The coastal villages are all looking forward to their appearance.
Many families have even placed memorial tablets of Lord Yue Island at home, hoping that Lord Yue Island will bless them forever and ensure that their men go to sea in peace.
I heard that a village was robbed by pirates at night. Because the family sewed a flag with the word "moon" on it, the pirates were so frightened that they ran away.
As a result, the matter spread, and now in coastal villages, every household has a "moon" flag on its door.
Fang Da grinned so big that he couldn't stop smiling.
Zhao Guangyuan turned to look at him. Fang Da couldn't help but said: "My lord, you haven't been to the village with the boat for several months. You haven't seen it. Now every house has a crescent moon flag on its door. Anyone who doesn't have a flag will do it." Like an alien."
Fang laughed so hard that his shoulders shook.
Think about it, the wind is strong at the seaside. When the wind blows, the flags line up and rustle with the wind. The scene is quite spectacular. It's not like this for one village or two villages, it's like this for every coastal village, just like joining some mysterious organization.
"In just a short time, everyone regards the prince as the Mazu who protects the fishermen." I heard that there are many memorial tablets for the master of Yueyue Island at home. Fang couldn't stop laughing.
Do they know what Lord Tsukishima looks like?
Zhao Guangyuan glared at him, "Is it funny?"
"No, no. Everyone remembers the prince's protection."
Since the prince gave him the shipbuilding plans, they went around looking for shipbuilding experts. The ships they built were large, heavy-carrying, and fast. Those pirates who were causing trouble now saw ships with crescent numbers in them from a distance, and they ran like crazy. A quick one.
I'm afraid that if it's too late, I'll be fucked by Master Yue Island's hands.
It was so cruel. The owner of the island was so cruel that month. Not only did he rob them of their belongings, but he also robbed their boat. What was even worse, he also robbed their island!
As a result, they had no place to go. Moreover, they wandered offshore every day, scaring them so much that they could not stand upright and had no choice but to go deeper into the sea.
too frightening.
They also want a boat that big and fast, and a boat full of people.
It’s not that we need so many people, we need killer stars who can fight on the shore and even better in the sea. It's terrible. In just a few years, the Lord of the Moon Island suddenly appeared. Who doesn't know this famous Lord of the Moon Island now?
So much so that they no longer dared to stay in the sea and wanted to go back to land to sleep.
"Coastal fishermen now trust us and trade with us smoothly. Those who trust us must not shoddy products, or pick and suppress during harvesting, so as to lose people's hearts."
"Yes."
"Also, if other forces at sea don't provoke us, as long as they don't disturb the people along the coast, don't bother with them."
"Yes, I understand."
There are many islands along the coast of Vietnam, and many forces have been entrenched for decades. They do all kinds of business. As long as they are not robbing the people along the coast, they will not take care of it. If a merchant ship passing by at sea is robbed, no one will ask them for help. They don't care much about their heads. But in recent years, as the name of Yue Island Master has spread, passing merchant ships have heard that Yue Island Master has many soldiers and horses, one against ten, and some people have come to him and asked to escort him all the way.
As long as the price is right, they'll take it.
Otherwise, there is no way to wait for the 50,000 soldiers and horses to be eaten every day.
Now there are 50,000 soldiers and horses, divided into several groups. Some go to the nearby coast to do business with fishermen, some go all the way to Fujian and Guangdong to sell glass, pearls and collect various goods, and some go further afield to find foreign barbarians. There are those engaged in maritime trade, those who suppress pirates and protect passing merchant ships, and those who stay on the island to forge iron, make glass, culture pearls and stockpile fields...
Now that some military family members have been brought to the island, there is no shortage of manpower for farming and farming. With the addition of these family members, there are now more edible vegetables on the island, and the quality of food has also been greatly improved.
There is also a lot of harmony on the island.
Fang Da and Zhao Guangyuan were reporting on the affairs of several islands and formulating strategies for naval training. Sun Ze ran over and said, "Your Majesty, the weapons room said that the latest weapons developed have been made, and they want Your Majesty to go and see the effects."
Zhao Guangyuan stood up, patted the sand on his butt, and strode forward, "Let's go."
Ever since iron ore appeared on an unknown island, Zhao Guangyuan ordered people to dig it out, built a furnace on the island, and forged the latest weapons.
He read a lot of information from Lin Zhaoxia and wanted to create the most convenient and durable weapon.
Nowadays, the Qi Dynasty's iron smelting technology is not good enough. The weapons made by the Ministry of War are brittle and cannot be used. They have to be replaced every two or three years. Just making weapons every year is a huge expense.
Zhao Guangyuan finished his melons, and the Lin family in Changling Village also finished their melons and was calculating today's income.
"I sold two hundred and eighty-two taels of silver today. Manager Chiang gave me a three-hundred-tael silver check and said it would be deducted from here next time."
Geng put three hundred taels of silver on the table and talked to Lin Qiu Shan and his son and grandson who were on duty from the cemetery about selling melons today.
Lin Qiushan looked at the banknotes on the table with a smile on his face, and said to Mr. Geng, "Just keep it. It's getting hotter and hotter today. I'll go back to town next time to pull some cloth and make it for everyone in the family." Light clothes.”
"There are still some pieces of cloth at home. The eldest daughter-in-law brought several pieces back from the palace. Jing'an came back a few days ago and brought back several pieces of cloth for the family." There is no shortage of cloth in the house. He just couldn't make any use of the melon fields.
The second son, Lin Jing'an, is now doing work and collecting goods everywhere, and his business is getting better and better. Last time he came back, he said that he had been promoted to manager. Geng was very happy to see that he had grown up now.
Lin Qiu Shan nodded, "If there is a lot of cloth, I will make it for Jingning a few times. He is alone in Yue and there is no one around him to take care of this. If Eunuch Cao has something to send to Yue next time, he can ask him to deliver it to Yue. go."
Mr. Ma on the side nodded, "Don't worry, dad. I will make melons as soon as they are picked in the melon field, and then I will make a few pairs of shoes. Eunuch Cao said that he would have a few days to send the things over there. I will ask Eunuch Cao to help me then." Send it."
Lin Qiushan nodded and whispered, "I don't know when the prince will come back this time, let alone the Chinese New Year? I heard that during the winter solstice this year, several princes will come to visit the mausoleum."
Lin Qiu Shan knew that the man in the palace was not the real prince, and the real prince was currently in trouble. During the Summer Solstice Festival, many people came to the capital this year, but the "Prince" was unwell and could only support himself until the ceremony was finished, and no one from the capital was seen.
Lin Qiushan sweated heavily at that time. Fortunately, there was no danger.
"Don't worry, Eunuch Cao will definitely inform the prince. The prince has his own plans, how can others be caught in the loop." Geng didn't care, the prince was smart, how could he make such a mistake.
Since knowing that the prince is her son-in-law, Geng went there to live with the prince for a few days. Geng now treats the prince as one of his own family members.
He listened to the gossip from all sides every day, and told Eunuch Cao whenever there was any trouble. She was afraid that something would happen to the prince and her daughter would be left a widow, which would lead to her having no father.
"Well, then while we are working, we will help the prince keep an eye out. If we hear any news, remember to inform Eunuch Cao." Lin Qiushan ordered his son, daughter-in-law and others.
Everyone nodded. They hope that the prince will go well and that he can come back soon. They have not heard from Xia'er for more than half a year.
In China, Lin Zhaoxia hung up the phone and let out a long sigh.
Lin's mother called and told Lin Zhaoxia that she wanted to change a car, but she was still short of 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, so she asked Lin Zhaoxia to make up for it.
In order to make it easier for Lin's father to see a doctor, Lin Zhaoxia bought them a Volkswagen costing RMB 100,000. It had only been driven for three years and it was time to replace it.
A lot of things happened in the past three years. A year ago, Father Lin finally couldn't survive it and left. It was summer when I left, and Zhao Guangyuan was not here, so I couldn't see him off for the last time. She didn't reply for the first seven days, and she didn't reply until after Qiqi. Lin's mother was very dissatisfied, and even the relatives of the Lin family and the Lu family were very dissatisfied.
No matter how Lin Zhaoxia explained, Lin's mother refused to listen, saying that no matter how busy her son-in-law was at work, he could not even make it back in time for his father-in-law's funeral. And until the end of July 7th, he didn't even reply once, looking at Lin Zhaoxia with both eyes and noses.
It wasn't until Zhao Guangyuan came over during the Chinese New Year, went to Yuhang in person, explained, and gave another 200,000 yuan that Lin's mother stopped.
How long did it take before all the money was spent?
Want to change your car?
After Lin's father left, he was worried that Lin's mother would think too much alone and be uncomfortable, so Lin Zhaoxia also returned to Yuhang to stay with her for a while, and then invited her to live in Haishi, but she refused to come and said she still had to work. Later, Aunt Lu took her to sign up for several tour groups and went shopping with her for a few times, and she felt much better.
Later, Aunt Lu said that she was still young, only fifty-one years old. Father Lin was gone and her two daughters were not around. She was worried that she would be lonely, so she signed her up for a senior blind date, and Mother Lin became more alive day by day.
Lin Zhaoxia has no objection to Lin's mother looking for a second love.
According to Aunt Lu, Mother Lin is indeed still young. People in modern times live very long lives. Mother Lin still has a lot of easy life ahead of her. She wants to find another companion, and Lin Zhaoxia is very supportive.
Lin Yanran was also very supportive and gave Lin's mother some money to spend as much as she wanted.
In fact, after Father Lin left, Mother Lin was not short of money. Lin Zhaoxia gave her five thousand a month, and Lin Yanran also received a monthly subsidy. She also had a job in the street office and a salary. She also had a house for rent at home, so she was not short of money.
But since she joined the senior blind date group, when she meets an old man today and an old man tomorrow, she will dress up and buy it. It seems that the money is not enough. He often reached out to Lin Zhaoxia.
Lin Zhaoxia missed that she was alone now, and understood that she was lonely and could not accompany her, so he gave her a larger monthly subsidy.
But now she doesn't like the car at home that has only been driven for three years and wants to change it.
That Volkswagen cost over RMB 100,000, and its performance was quite good. It had only been driven for three years, and it was only driven in the city. It didn't have much mileage, so it was time to replace it.
Lin Zhaoxia felt a little resentful that it cost tens of thousands at once, and secretly he didn't want to satisfy her.
"Mom, my son is back!" The door opened, and the nine-year-old Changzhi opened the door and came in with a smile on his face.
