The 1.5 million taels of bonds were quickly subscribed by all shareholders attending the meeting, and not a single tael of silver was sold on the market.
With the approval of the shareholders' meeting, a memorandum was immediately signed between the board of directors of the Daming Overseas Reclamation Company and the joint meeting of Daomen's institutions in Beijing (two teams with little difference), and the money was handed over to the joint meeting to be used to pay for Longqing's three years.
Plan shipbuilding, train naval forces, purchase armor and magic weapons, and continue to maintain naval warfare.
The memorandum stipulates that after the war is victorious, the joint meeting must grant the exclusive development rights to the 35 known islands such as Ling'ao Island, Sanjin Island, and Sulfque Island to the reclamation company for a period of fifty years.
The list of these thirty-five islands was transferred directly based on the signature list submitted by the Island Owners Alliance last year. For this purpose, Chen Miuzhu was asked to verify it once.
After staying in Yingtian for a full month, witnessing the establishment of the reclamation company, and witnessing the 1.5 million "Jinghai Pingkou Bonds Second Issue" wiped out, Chen Miuzhu completely gave up on representing the island owner.
As for the alliance's intention to negotiate peace with Zhao Ran, he secretly subscribed for 2,000 taels, so what else was there to talk about?
Taking the written reply from Suchuan Medicine and purchasing a lot of things on the market, Chen Mianzhu and Yu Jingzi left Yingtian by boat and returned to Ling'ao Island. Not only Liu Chujiu came to see them off,
Qianxun Daotong and others, and even Ruoqi.
Ruoqi took a photo of the ship leaving the pier at the pier, and quickly wrote down a sentence in her notebook: "I asked for help but came back in vain. I was so frightened that I accomplished nothing." This will be the title of her exclusive report today.
Chen Miuzhu looked at Ruoqi who was taking pictures on the trestle in the distance, his eyes were slightly red, and he said to Yu Jingzi: "Look, Ruoqi is still affectionate and righteous, she is afraid of forgetting me..."
Yu Jingzi reminded: "You have a family, and a poor wife will not go to court!"
Chen Miuzhu rolled his eyes at him helplessly: "Are you really good at dragging people recently..."
Yu Jingzi shook his snake head and said: "There is a beauty like jade in the book."
"Then why have you been wrapped around her arm these days?"
"It's just chatting, you're thinking too much..."
After waving his hands and saying goodbye to Liu Chujiu, Qianxun, Ruoqi and the others, the ship began to retreat and sailed out along the pier. The masts were like a forest, passing by in front of the eyes. It was already difficult to distinguish the figures of Qianxun and others.
.
Leng Buding threw a baggage from the bottom of the boat and went straight to the door facing Chen Miuzhu. Chen Miuzhu subconsciously held it in his hand and looked at the crowded pier below, wondering who had thrown it up.
Yu Jingzi said: "Open it and take a look?"
Chen Miuzhu opened the bag and found a brick inside. He was furious and once again glanced at the crowd in the dock, but the perpetrator was never found. He said bitterly to Yu Jingzi: "Hit me with a brick."
?Protesting to me? It must be a certain family of seafarers! I checked them for smuggling, which is an act of loyalty to the public, but these people treat me with personal hatred. They really don’t treat me as a son of a human being. I will give Qianxun a flying talisman later and ask Qianxun to help me.
Check it out!"
Yu Jingzi sighed and hissed: "Anti-smuggling will offend people. I've told you before. If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will be photographed in front of your eyes."
Chen Miuzhu threw the green brick into the water and told Qianxun about the matter. Qianxun replied: "I remember all those pirates who were confiscated. I'll check it out for you later!"
The boatman on the boat came out and slipped around for several times. Chen Miuzhu had just been attacked with bricks. He was not in a good temper and yelled at him: "Stop swinging and start the boat quickly!"
The boat master responded with a sneer. He looked around, not knowing what he was looking for, and went back to his original position at the bow of the ship.
Returning to Jimingguan, Qianxun Daotong went straight to the maritime trade license management room and asked for the recently confiscated property and the list of seafarers who had been dealt with. It happened that Gu Da was ordered to come back from Songjiang Camp to do something, and he was also looking for information. Qianxun
Then he explained the matter and said: "Chen Miuzhu helped our inspection team and was criticized by others. We have to stand up for him!"
Gu Da immediately stopped, thought for a moment, and asked Qian to find the flying talisman Chen Mianzhu. He said that he wanted to keep physical evidence and asked him to stop sailing and rush to retrieve the green bricks immediately.
Chen Miuzhu replied: "The bricks have been thrown away long ago, who will keep that thing?"
Qian Xun asked: "Where did it go? Be specific."
Chen Miuzhu recalled: "I threw it away before we got out of the trestle. It was about fifteen or six feet away from the berth."
Gu Da took Qian Xundaotong and rushed to Yanziji immediately to find the berth where Chen Miuzhu parked his boat. After walking for a while, the two went into the water and searched at the bottom of the river. Soon they found the green brick.
As soon as they landed on the shore, Gu Dada broke open the bricks, and Qian Xun's little head leaned over and immediately cheered: "Sure enough, there is!"
…
Monk Ma Tengfei of Lingji Palace wandered uneasily in his room. He was assigned to serve in the inspection fleet and had experienced two major naval battles last year. Because of his rich experience in battles, he was gradually entrusted with important tasks and often commanded small fleets.
Patrolling the sea has entered the ranks of high-ranking officers in the fleet.
According to the rotation system, he could respond to Tian Xiumu this month, but after returning, he found that his previous contact point could no longer be found. In desperation, he had to risk sending the message to Chen Miuzhu on the boat.
He thought that since his actions were secretive, no one would notice him, but his right eyelid was twitching wildly, which always made people upset and irritated.
This omen was quite ominous. Ma Tengfei finally made up his mind to abscond tonight!
Just as he was determined, he heard a knock on the door outside. Ma Tengfei was so nervous that the tip of his nose sweated, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Who is it?"
"I, Feed the Tiger! Several brothers plan to go to the Qinhuai River tonight. Are you free, Lao Ma? Everyone wants to hear your heroic stories of fighting overseas, so I have pooled money to support you. Lao Ma must appreciate it tonight.
!”
Ma Tengfei composed himself, wiped the sweat from the tip of his nose, and opened the door: "Fellow Taoist Tiger Feeder, what's there to say? It's just a matter of dying in front of the army..."
Two ropes rolled up from the left and right, and instantly wrapped around Ma Tengfei's shoulders. These ropes were Dongji Pavilion's special tool for holding people. He was shocked and still struggled, but he could not easily break free.
When the rope ends on both sides were pulled outward, Ma Tengfei was immediately tightly tied up with the rope. The magic power on the rope penetrated into his meridians and sealed several of his vital points. He couldn't help but feel his knees weaken and fall to the ground.
.
I heard a scolding voice: "Mr. Ma, something happened to you!"
When he looked up, a group of people had gathered at the door. The leaders were Wei Chaozong, the envoy of the palace, and Tang Yaozu, the envoy of the Xianling Palace. The one who took the lock herself was Wei Sanniang.
Wu Jia and Ding Si separated, and each took the rope thrown by Wei Sanniang. The Taoist Tiger Feeder who opened the door looked regretful and said with emotion: "Fellow Taoist Ma, I really didn't expect it to be you..."
When the envoys from the two palaces arrived, Ma Tengfei knew that he had been completely exposed, and his heart suddenly dropped to despair.
