Chapter 271 Is it the king’s land in the whole world 7
"Hey, Hua Qianhu, you can't say that! We had agreed before that the Chen family would get the money, Kochi County would find the source of goods, you would contact the ships, and each of you would get [-]% of the money earned, and the rest would be divided between the county government and Qianhu. The yamen servants at the household office.

I didn't give out a single copper, let alone take out a penny more.Now I have spent money and bought tea, but the boat has not come back since it left. Why is it being blamed on me? "

As soon as he said this, Chen Yuanwai's big hand immediately hit the table again, and the half bottle of wine took off directly, and by chance it landed on Hua Qianhu's lap, without any waste.

"At the beginning, Big Head Fish said that the black sailboats came with bad intentions, and our colleagues in Fujian suffered a lot of losses. If you follow my wishes, you should not rush out to sea first and listen to the news. But what did you two say? Could it be that you blame me for saying the last trip is the last trip!"

Hua Qianhu was not in a hurry, he reached out to grab the fallen wine bottle, poured the remaining wine into the cup, turned his head and looked directly at Mr. Chen, his tone was not high, his tone was not urgent, but every word was heart-wrenching.

"...Then what do you think we should do? The Chen family's money can't just be lost in such an unexplained way!" After being exposed in front of his face, Mr. Chen was so angry that his chest kept heaving. After a moment of pause, he simply didn't fall back. Now that the bill is settled, let’s talk about money directly.

"No one who eats at sea can make a profit without losing money. They are risking their lives with their heads high. I will sit at home and collect the money. If I receive it, I will worship Mazu. If I don't receive it, I will scold my mother!" Huaqianhu's attitude towards the issue of money is more clear, Smuggling is risky, so be careful when entering!

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.. Don't argue, we are not at the end of the rope yet. Maybe the ship will come back early tomorrow morning. Who can say for sure what happens on the sea. I have sent an inspection department to Changsha Port is keeping an eye on it and will report as soon as the big-headed fish boat comes back."

Seeing that the two partners were exchanging words with each other, Kochi Prefecture hurriedly got up to smooth things over.He already had a plan in mind. The two ships of tea were [-]% lost, and Chen Yuanwai's money was most likely gone.

But it doesn't matter, the Chen family has a strong foundation, and this loss will not hurt the bones. As long as the rich man is stabilized, there will be many opportunities to make money in the future, such as building factories.

At present, Li Zhi, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Yuan Yingtai, the right-hand political envoy, are working together to build factories under private government supervision in Guangdong. Isn't this an opportunity?Although it is not clear what the regulations are for building a factory, it is certain that there will be money to be made.

If you are a private person, Chen Yuan is a member of the people; if you are an official supervisor, you happen to be an official, so it is 100% compatible.As for spending thousands of households, it seems that we can’t leave it alone.I heard that there are a lot of young people in the factory. If there is a small friction, it will not be easy to settle it with just the few pieces of materials in the inspection department, and we will have to rely on the help of the health department.

In addition, whether it is snowflake sugar or canned biscuits, you still have to sell it to get money.Instead of sending it to Guangzhou Prefecture to be cut by people from the 36th line, it would be better to find connections and sell it directly to Folangji people, or simply sell it to Nanyang.

If you want to contact the smuggling ship, you have to rely on Hua Qianhu to come forward. He is said to be a guard Qianhu and an official of the imperial court. In fact, he is inextricably linked to the pirates operating in the nearby waters. He cannot be offended too harshly unless it is absolutely necessary. .

"Who is making the noise outside!" But just as he was about to open another pot of new wine and chat with the two about the construction of the factory in detail, there was a noise in his ears.This made him a little annoyed. He had clearly sent officials to guard the entrance of the courtyard, but why did he let irrelevant people get closer?

"Master...Master...it's not good, there are a lot of people coming outside...bang!" Before he finished speaking, the door was violently knocked open from the outside. Someone shouted and rushed in. Due to the excessive force, a dog ate shit and threw it down. On the ground, he blocked the second half of his words. "Sangouzi, are you feeling itchy? Why don't you come here to have a drink with me when you're not on duty?" Seeing the visitor's attire, Hua Qianhu immediately stood up and strode forward, grabbing him with one hand. Lift it up and punch it.

"Don't, don't fight! Master, soldiers, soldiers, Dusi has led troops to arrest you. The young one took a shortcut!" The person who came was young, the leather armor on his upper body was in tatters, and one of his straw sandals was missing. .

"What, Dusi brought troops to arrest me... Speak clearly!" This voice made the three people in the room stunned on the spot, with fear in their eyes.Hua Qianhu was worthy of being a military general, and he was quite courageous. He woke up instantly, pressed San Gouzi into a chair and asked in a deep voice for details.

The third son, whose name is Zheng San, has been stationed in Qianhu, Haifeng for generations. His father was successful in exterminating the Japanese pirates and rose to the rank of Xiaoqi. A few years ago, he was given a hereditary military position as Zhengding.He has a flexible mind, is eloquent, and knows a few words. He is highly appreciated by Hua Qianhu, and he always takes him with him as a servant.

After dinner, Zheng San felt that he was short of oil and water, so he ran to the vicinity of Changsha Port alone, hoping to pick up some stranded catches on the beach. He also paid attention to the movement at the port to see if the Big Head Fish group's boat had returned.

Not only did he know that Qianhu had a secret connection with the pirates, he was also one of the main members responsible for connecting and running errands.Every time you smuggle goods through pirates, you can get some silver coins, which you can buy meat and wine and enjoy for a month.

After wandering around for about half an hour, Zheng San's eyes suddenly lit up when he was about to return to Qianhusuo.By the moonlight, he felt that there was a dark shadow moving slowly on the sea in the distance. Based on his experience, he judged that it was probably a ship holding a sail.

Dare to approach the shore so late. Except for the inspection department who is very familiar with the water conditions, there is only a group of bighead fish left.Zheng San felt that he was very lucky tonight. He found the pirate ship that Qianhu had been waiting for for a long time, and he was inevitably rewarded with some silver coins.

Full of expectations for the silver and walking briskly, Zheng San did not take a detour to the main road, but quietly walked along the seaside and stepped on the rocks.He wanted to hear what Big Head Fish and his gang were talking about, and if he happened to come across a bounty related to Hua Qianhu, there might be even more.

Of course, there was no reward, but I was so frightened that I broke out in a cold sweat.There were two boats leaning against the pier. They were too far apart to see clearly, but they were much taller than Big Head Fish's boat. Even if the sails were furled, you could still see the three towering masts.

What came off the ship were not pirates, but a group of troops wearing black pants and hats.Why are you so sure it's the military?Could it be said that Zheng San has met the Marine Corps?

Really not, he could see it from his hat.The climate in Guangdong is hot, so cotton armor and iron armor are not suitable, and leather armor is more common.But the helmet has not changed, it is still an iron helmet.However, most of the people who can wear helmets are officers. Soldiers are considered well-equipped if they have leather shoulder pads.
