Smuggling Daming

Zhou Zhong had some new ideas about the smuggling model that the Ming Dynasty had used for many years. In order to verify the feasibility of these ideas, Zhou Zhong called Uncle Tuo and Sun Tong into the hall, and collected various information from them , As a result, the collected information showed that Zhou Zhong's new idea was completely feasible, which finally made him feel relieved.

In the evening, I didn't sleep all night last night, and the brothers who participated in the raid on the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce finally woke up. At this time, Zhou Zhong and San Niang had already prepared a sumptuous dinner for everyone to celebrate. The food and drink are also very simple. In a word, it is a big bowl of meat and wine. For these dark-skinned boatmen, there is nothing more affordable than these wine and meat.

After everyone has arrived, Zhou Zhong must be allowed to speak according to the rules, but Zhou Zhong knows that if he wants to win the favor of these rude men in front of him, he should not talk too much nonsense.So after he stood up, he directly picked up the big bowl in front of him and said, "Brothers, today we wiped out the *** Jeolla Chamber of Commerce and avenged the two brothers who died the day before yesterday. It's everyone's credit for being cowardly, let's have a bowl!"

When Zhou Zhong said this, he raised the big bowl in his hand and drank it down in one gulp.The boatmen around saw that this fair-skinned young master was so proud, and they all applauded loudly, then picked up the big bowl in front of them, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense anymore, as long as everyone is willing to follow me, Zhou Zhong, I guarantee that everyone will be like today, drink a big bowl and eat meat, let's have a feast!" Zhou Zhong's speech was clean and neat, and won the praise of the boatmen around again. Good impression, and everyone was really hungry at this time, so as soon as Zhou Zhong finished speaking, these people immediately picked up the wine and meat in front of them and stuffed them into their mouths. Although the appearance of eating was ugly, it looked real.

"Wenda, I'm a rough person, I don't know how to speak very much, but in the past two days, I have also noticed that although you and your old boss are not the same kind of people, they are both people who do great things. I, Sun Tong, are here to respect you One cup, and if you ask me to jump into the sea in the future, my old grandson will never frown!" When Sun Tong said this, he drank the strong wine in the bowl.

Hearing that Sun Tong expressed his allegiance to him in front of everyone, Zhou Zhong was also very excited. He raised his wine bowl again and said, "Okay, since Uncle Sun has said so, then I, Zhou Zhong, will not be polite. I dare not do anything else." Said, but as long as there is a day when I Zhou Zhong is here, I will never let anyone underestimate our Nanyang Chamber of Commerce!"

After Zhou Zhong finished speaking, he drank it all in one gulp, and then laughed with Sun Tong.Immediately afterwards, Uncle Tuo and Sanniang also stood up, said the same thing about following Zhou Zhong, and then toasted Zhou Zhong with a bowl of wine respectively.

At this time, Zhou Zhong had already drank four bowls of wine, and the total weight was at least two or three catties. Although the alcohol content of this kind of southern alcohol was not high, he couldn't help feeling a little dizzy, and hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of vegetables to fill his stomach. Then I drank a few sips of strong tea and felt better.

But tonight, it is destined that Zhou Zhong will not be able to go back standing up. Just after Sun Tong and the others made a toast, some small bosses and stewards in the chamber of commerce also stepped forward to meet the young master, and offered a bowl of wine by the way. , this wine must be drunk, so Zhou Zhong had to put up the posture of risking his life to accompany a gentleman, and in the end he didn't even know how much he drank?Anyway, in the end, he only remembered that there seemed to be more and more people around him, and his feet were like being on a boat, always turning around and unable to stand still, and finally fell directly on the wine table, no longer knowing what happened behind ?

Zhou Zhong didn't know how long he slept for this sleep, until he felt that his throat and eyes were so dry that he was about to catch fire, his brain was also hurting badly, and his whole body seemed to be falling apart. I couldn't even open my eyelids, so I could only cry weakly: "Water~water~, I want to drink water!"

Zhou Zhong's call was quickly answered. With the sound of light footsteps, an elegant fragrance hit, and then Zhou Zhong felt his head was supported by a soft arm, and a glass of water was brought to his mouth. Not caring too much, he opened his mouth wide and drank all the water in the cup, and then lay down again, his mind was confused for a while, and then he fell asleep again.

When Zhou Zhong woke up for the second time, he finally felt a bit of strength recovered from his body. He finally opened his heavy eyelids, and then struggled to sit up from the bed. Only then did he realize that he was in a In an unfamiliar room, the layout of the entire room is very simple, nothing more than a bed, a table, a chair and a big bookshelf.

"You're finally awake." Zhou Zhong was looking at this strange room when he suddenly heard a familiar voice say.

Zhou Zhong followed the sound and saw Xie Lingyun by the open window of the room, wearing a light green dress, holding an unfinished book, turning her head and looking at him with a smile on her face, the sunlight behind her was shining from the window Come, reflect the skin on Xie Lingyun's face into a translucent color, making her look crystal clear, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.

"You...why are you here?" Zhou Zhong asked very strangely. Although his mind was befuddled, if he remembered correctly, he was obviously drinking with his subordinates in the chamber of commerce yesterday, and finally became so drunk that he couldn't wake up. Personnel affairs, so it should be in the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce now, why did Xie Lingyun come to her room?

I saw Xie Lingyun closing the book in her hand, then walked over gently and said with a smile: "I came to look for you early this morning, but was invited here by Sanniang, I thought you would wake up soon, but I didn't expect to wait until now. "

"Eh? You've been here all this time?" Zhou Zhong suddenly thought that someone had given him water just now. Could it be Xie Lingyun in front of him?Immediately afterwards, Zhou Zhong knew the answer, because Xie Lingyun immediately understood what Zhou Zhong was thinking when he heard his question, her face suddenly turned a little blushing, and she turned slightly sideways, not daring to look at Zhou Zhong again.

Speaking of which Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun went in and out at the same time during this period, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and the Xie family cooperated closely, and the two of them were similar in talent and appearance, so Sanniang, Uncle Tuo and other Nanyang Chamber of Commerce people mistakenly thought that there was a relationship between the two of them. What is the relationship between.So when Xie Lingyun came to find Zhou Zhong today, Sanniang immediately took her to Zhou Zhong's room with great enthusiasm, and kindly created a chance for the two of them to be alone. Later, Zhou Zhong wanted to drink water, but Xie Lingyun couldn't ignore it, so she poured a glass of water Feed him a drink.

Zhou Zhong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he thought of a rich lady like Xie Lingyun feeding him water, but seeing the other party's shy expression, he could only take the initiative to break the embarrassment and said: "I don't know if Miss Lingyun came to see you today. Me, what's the matter?"

Hearing Zhou Zhong ask why she came, Xie Lingyun finally felt that the atmosphere was no longer embarrassing, but her face was still a little hot, and she immediately said: "Well, the servant came here today to discuss something with the young master."

Zhou Zhong was already struggling to sit up from the bed at this time, and put on his clothes indiscriminately. Xie Lingyun turned her head to the side and did not dare to look at it. It was not until Zhou Zhong put on her clothes that she said, "Oh, I don't know what to do. What does Miss Yun want to discuss with me?"

Hearing that Zhou Zhong had put on his clothes, Xie Lingyun turned around, glanced at Zhou Zhong who was in a mess, then lowered her head shyly, walked gently to the bedroom table and said, "Please look, my lord. It is a map of the area from Songjiang to Shuangyu Port. After careful consideration these days, the little girl feels that the soap workshop cannot be placed on land, otherwise it will not be conducive to confidentiality. However, if the workshop is placed on an island, the issue of confidentiality will be solved. solved."

Hearing that Xie Lingyun had come to discuss with him the location of the soap workshop, Zhou Zhong let go of any thoughts in his heart and strode to the table. There was an opened map on the table. The markings on the map were very detailed, not only There are Ming state capitals such as Songjiang and Ningbo, and even some small islands in the sea are clearly marked.Among them, Xie Lingyun made a special mark with a red pen on an island not far from Songjiang Mansion, where Hangzhou Bay meets the sea.

"Is this the address of the soap workshop Miss Lingyun chose?" Zhou Zhong stretched out his finger and pointed to the red mark on the map.

"Not bad!" Xie Lingyun gently pulled a strand of hair from her forehead behind her ears, then gently opened her lips and introduced, "This is a small archipelago consisting of several islands, the largest of which are two , because there are many sheep on the island, they are called Dayang Island and Xiaoyang Island respectively. These two islands are not only very close to Songjiang, but also guard Hangzhou, Ningbo and other places. There is a foothold in the upper building, and I am very familiar with it. If the workshop is built there, not only can it be kept secret, but it is also very convenient to transport raw materials and goods.”

Hearing Xie Lingyun's thoughtful consideration, Zhou Zhong couldn't help but nodded and said: "Setting up the workshop on the island is indeed a good way to keep the craftsmanship from being leaked, the only trouble is the inconvenient transportation, but your Xie family's fleet It’s very convenient to come and go, but for the sake of confidentiality, the workers in the workshop on the island will definitely stay on the island all the time, is there anyone willing to work in the workshop under such circumstances?”

"Don't worry about this, my lord. There are more than 2 disaster victims outside the city of Songjiang Prefecture. As long as we pay the wages and then bring the workers' families to the island, those disaster victims will definitely rush to go, and we don't have to worry about not being able to recruit people. !" Xie Lingyun said confidently, ever since she was planning to make soap, she has already taken a fancy to those disaster victims outside Songjiang City, as long as these people give them a bite to eat, let alone go to an isolated island to work , Even if it is a cow or a horse, I am willing.

Zhou Zhong couldn't help but nodded when he heard this, thinking that Xie Lingyun really deserves to be a businessman, and he has considered all aspects.

However, just when Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun had just decided on the soap workshop, people from the chamber of commerce came in to report that another person came to visit Zhou Zhong. When they heard the name of this person, both Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun were surprised .
