Yun Er did not stay much on the island. Even though the islands were crowded with Song merchant ships, he had no intention of getting to know other merchants. The purpose was different. He did not come to Liaodong specifically to do business.
Because this island is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, there is no beach that extends into the sea, and it is on a warm sea current, so it does not freeze in winter, so it became the best place for merchants from the Song Dynasty to stop.
Due to the large number of people, even the most powerful pirates dare not try here. Doing business here without force is not feasible. Each caravan is actually a small force team.
Under the bright sunshine, the sea is like a huge green gem. The sea is calm and waveless, and the clouds are almost impossible to connect the peaceful sea today with the violent sea a few days ago.
The tail sail was full of wind. Although the wind was not in the right direction, with the tail sail as a sail that could be rotated and the role of the rudder, the Loach under Yun Er's feet still cut through the waves and sailed north.
Heishan Island is within half a day's flight. This time of year is the most lively time on Heishan Island. Businessmen from the Song Dynasty, as well as merchants from Korea, and even merchants from Japan and Japan will come here to cook when the coastline is frozen.
The last deal of the year.
So Yun Er looked around and saw that there were merchant ships everywhere on the sea. Liaodong's fur aurantium and the ginseng that had just been discovered to have magical effects were among their transactions.
However, it is more about mutual trade between merchants. The impoverished Liaodong cannot afford such a large amount of goods. At most, merchants from the Liao Kingdom can bring back some rare treasures that the Liao Kingdom does not have.
No merchant was willing to do business under the laws of the Liao Kingdom. In order to quickly restore national strength, the "Shang Code" formulated by Yelu Hongji was so harsh that it was almost robbery.
The power of the Liao people does not extend to the sea. A nation on horseback cannot understand how rich and vast the sea is.
Shi Zhongxin's newly built loach boat in Yuzhou is extremely gorgeous and extremely sturdy. In order to prevent corrosion, a lot of copper parts are used on the big boat, especially the animal head horn on the bow, which was specially requested by Yun Er.
A ferocious wolf head with an open mouth seems to be able to bite everything in the world.
There was a peach blossom flag on the top of the beast's head. Yun Er sat cross-legged on the upper deck where the light was visible, looking curiously at the countless ships passing by.
Perhaps because the Eight Oxen Crossbow mounted on the bow of the ship is too terrifying, both incoming and outgoing ships will carefully avoid the sea loach's route. The Eight Oxen Crossbow is no longer equipped with a crossbow, but a crossbow.
As long as this thing is ejected, a big hole will appear wherever it hits, which is fatal to sea ships.
The outline of Heishan Island has appeared, and the entire island is lying on the sea. It is dark and looks more like a beast that is ready to attack.
The sea loach sailed into the bay, the channel gradually became narrower, and the ships became more and more dense. Lao Sun, the shopkeeper of the Yun family, had already descended from the upper deck to the side of the ship. There were more than a dozen heads-sized fish piled beside him.
Wine jar.
From time to time, a long pole with a net bag would come over. Lao Sun would smile and put a jar or two of wine in the net bag, and then talk to the people on the opposite boat at the top of his lungs.
"The water is so deep, Hai Dangjia returned home with a full load. It seems that Hai Dangjia's business in Tsushima is good. Now Japan and Korea have become so fat?"
A rough man on the opposite boat stood barefoot on the side of the boat. He couldn't wait to open the bottle of wine he had just received and took a big gulp. Then he laughed and said: "Old Sun, I am doing a business without capital.
Why are you so jealous? You have a lot of good people, why don’t you use the flag to do it!"
Lao Sun laughed and said: "Forget it, my family is a scholar, I can't lose face to do this kind of thing like you, so let's just make money coin by coin, how about it? What you are drinking is this year's new wine, from Tingjiu House.
My old brother said that this year’s wine is much better than in previous years.”
The big man took another sip of wine and said: "What else can I say about your wine? It's top-grade soju, but too little is sold every year. Don't be stingy this year. Leave a hundred jars for me. I'll have it on board."
There’s a lot of stuff, so take it if you like it!”
The big waiter who was serving Yun Er saw that the second young master was watching the conversation between Lao Sun and the pirates with great interest, so he quickly said: "Second young master, the person who is talking to the shopkeeper now is called Hai Lianzi. He specializes in eating Korean and Japanese food."
The owner of the meal, the capitalless business he said was actually robbery, but fortunately, this man only robbed Koreans and Japanese people. As for whether he robbed us Song Dynasty people, I don’t know. He robbed a ship at sea and
If you kill the person, drag the boat back and modify it again, others will not be able to recognize it. So no one dares to say that this guy’s butt is clean.”
Yun Er smiled and said: "Merchants and bandits were natural enemies. How come they get along so well now? It's really strange. Our family has wiped out not one hundred thousand, but almost eighty thousand bandits over the years. So I saw this
This scene is a bit curious.”
The big man smiled and said: "Second Young Master, you don't know that people who make a living on the sea are actually pirates. When doing business, it would be strange if they don't rob a caravan that is weaker than themselves. Hehe, this kind of thing
It’s not like our family has never done this before, but my wife knows about it, haha, our guards are all heroes who came off the battlefield, so..."
Yun Er was not in the mood to listen to his explanation of these things. Most of the guys in the caravan were from Jiaziying. Even though Lao Sun was the big shopkeeper, when it came to being close to him, he was not as good as this big guy, at least the big guy.
He talks very casually around Yun Er.
"Where is this pirate's lair called Hai Lianzi? You said pirates also do business, what kind of business does he do?"
The big man chuckled and said: "Second Young Master, Hai Lianzi's business is actually a human trafficker. He gets some good-looking little girls from Goryeo, and then sells them to the brothel madams. The old madams raise these girls as ladies of the house.
In a few years, I will teach you some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and then sell it to the nobles of Song Dynasty or Khitan. You don’t know, the profit will be astonishing, more than a hundred times."
Yun Zheng slapped the big guy on the head, and then started to slap him one after another. It wasn't until the guy begged for mercy that he stopped and snorted: "Asshole, how dare you encourage me to engage in human trafficking? Do you know that we
Are you from a scholarly family? How dare you say such obscene things? Tomorrow I will send you to the ancient Tang-Tibet road to find those Tubo people to make fun of."
The big guy didn't care about being beaten. He was even a little proud. After being beaten, he raised his chest and raised his head and glanced at the guys around him, which seemed like he was looking down on all directions.
Being beaten is a special case for those who come from Jiaziying. The Yun brothers have always been polite and considerate to servants outside Jiaziying. They can only hit the guys who come from Jiaziying with raising their hands or raising their feet.
Kick it, and you can take it out on them if you're unhappy.
If other servants make mistakes, they will be fined at most, or fired in serious cases. There is no such thing as fined and fired in Jiaziying. Minor mistakes will be scolded, and slightly serious mistakes will be kicked. In fact,
It's a very serious mistake. As long as it doesn't involve issues of stance, nothing will happen after a slap in the face.
So in the Yun family, the status of a servant depends on whether he will be beaten. Only the head of the family will treat him like his own family.
The big man was not afraid of going to the ancient Tang-Tibet Road, and Liaodong was not a good place either. He straightened his crooked hat and said with a smile: "Second Young Master, how dare I let you do such dirty things? Our door
Secondly, we are not allowed to do such a thing. If we really do it, our family will not be able to survive in Tokyo.
What do you mean, you don’t want to buy some beautiful maids from Hai Lianzi? In recent years, I have followed the big shopkeeper in and out of many wealthy families, and the maids from those less well-known families are also prettier than ours.
It’s just that they are ugly, but they all have become aunts, untouchable and untouchable. Last time when the little one went home, he accidentally bumped into someone when he entered the moon gate. He didn’t know where he bumped into. He raised his hand and
If you give me a big mouth, you won’t be able to complain."
Yun Er lay comfortably on the deck and put his hands behind his head and said lazily: "The family tradition of the Yun family is to have two wives, so wouldn't it be an advantage for you to bring something beautiful back? I won't do this kind of thing.
Well, it’s not like you don’t have money, just buy one if you like it, and there are no family rules prohibiting you from buying it yourself.”
The big man found a blanket to cover Yun Er and said with a smile: "My father said that you can only ask for a wife from the maids at home. If any unscrupulous woman from outside dares to get into the house, my legs will be broken."
Yun Er smiled and said: "It depends on your luck. Those maids are all handled by my sister-in-law as the accountant, and the monthly payment is not much less than that of your big shopkeeper. If you can marry one of them, you will be rich."
Okay, don't interrupt me anymore. I know you don't want me to see the dark parts of our family. I just don't want to see it. I just acted as a good person on Hailu Island. I don't have time to be a good person now. You can't always be the bad guy. Let's
My family has not reached that level of hypocrisy.”
The eldest man shook his head like a rattle and said hurriedly: "That's not the case. Our family relies on you and the eldest young master to support us. Your two reputations are definitely not bad. Those dirty things are all our fault."
These are the things that these petty and petty servants do.
In case of public outrage, the eldest young master and you only need to deal with one or two servants, and we can still continue to support our family. If the reputation of you and the eldest young master is ruined, our family will be really unlucky, so
I don’t want you to see a dirty guy like Hai Lianzi. If you say a word to him, you will be stink!” (To be continued)
