Chapter one hundred and ninety seventh adoptive mother twelve
In front of Zhaodefang, several fast horses were parked, and three men in navy armor stood at the door.
After a while, Yang San came out and led the three of them to the inner courtyard.
Ruan Xiaoqi looked around and saw only the back of a Taoist priest. Beside him, there were many Taoist boys sitting on futons and surrounding him.
Ruan Xiaoqi scratched his head and was patted on the shoulder. He turned around and saw Song Jiang and said happily: "Brother, where is the young master?"
Song Jiang pursed his lips and said, "That's it."
"Oh my God, our young master has really become a Taoist priest?" Ruan Xiaoqi's face was full of surprise.
Song Jiang smiled and said: "Shao Zai Ta Fei has become a Taoist priest, and he is still the junior disciple of the head of Yanqing Temple and the deputy leader of Taoism in the world."
Ruan Xiaoqi couldn't help but be speechless, thinking to himself that Shaozai was really unfathomable, and he could prosper wherever he went.
After practicing a complete set of Ba Duan Jin, Yang Lin felt refreshed. He stood up and turned around, and saw a group of people gathered outside the courtyard, peeking with their heads exposed.
"Ruan Xiaoqi, why are you here?"
Ruan Xiaoqi hurriedly ran over and said with a smile: "Young Zai, it is a rule handed down from the past that our Chenghai navy goes to Beijing to report on our duties at this time every year. Hehe, this time the villain came and brought nothing to Young Zai, only a few
Root wild ginseng.”
After speaking, the naval general behind him handed over three or four small boxes. Yang Lin opened it and saw a flat, bearded ginseng weighing five or six kilograms. There was also a yellowish-brown thing that looked strange.
Like ginseng.
"What's this?"
When Ruan Xiaoqi saw a plump and beautiful woman standing next to him, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "There is a species that only exists in the far north, and its name is fur seal. This is the fur seal whip."
Yang Lin closed the lid with a snap, waved his hand to signal Yun Niang beside him to put it away, sat down on a wicker chair under the tree in the courtyard, and asked, "Where did you get all this?"
"Go back to Shaozai, this is a deal between the Koreans and the Jurchen barbarians in the north. I wanted to ship it to Mizhou for trade, but my subordinates gave it to me."
Yang Lin frowned and interrupted: "Asshole, I have told you a long time ago that now Mizhou Port, Mingzhou Port, and Huating Port are all managed by our own shipping department. You, a thief, still dare to rob
, took my words as wind in your ears?"
Ruan Xiaoqi was startled and said quickly: "Young Master, please calm down. It's not the villain who wants to rob them. It's really some Goryeo barbarians who don't follow the rules. In order to evade taxes, they don't go to our ports, but stay on the islands and reefs."
Trading with some coastal merchants."
When Yang Lin heard this, he immediately felt disgusted. The Song Dynasty opened the country to trade with other barbarians, which was a huge favor compared with previous dynasties.
You must know that in the later Ming Dynasty, they refused to do business with the Japanese country, which almost drove them crazy.
Now that the country has opened up, we have to sneak in and take advantage of these little things. We pay taxes and make a lot of money safely. It's disgusting to come here just for this little tax money, right?
Yang Lin said solemnly: "For this victory ceremony, I have already informed your majesty and invited kings and royal families from various foreign countries to come here to watch the ceremony. Then we will negotiate with the Koreans. If they do not restrain domestic merchants, just give them a look.
.”
From Ruan Xiaoqi's words, it was not difficult for Yang Lin to see that the Jurchens had already begun to seek development.
They had secretly done business with Japan's Goryeo in the past, and even though they were forced to adjust the price of ginseng to cabbage prices, now that such good products are available, the price must not be that low.
"Our good neighbor, the Great Khitan Kingdom that has been repaired forever, is in trouble."
Song Jiang said in astonishment: "What trouble?"
"The trouble is bigger than the sky, I guess Daliao still can't survive it."
Song Jiang couldn't find the answer, he felt itchy in his heart, scratched his ears and cheeks and said: "Is it possible that the Song Dynasty is going to launch the Northern Expedition?"
Looking at the current world, there is only one Song Dynasty that can compete with the Liao Dynasty, at least in terms of strength on paper.
Yang Lin ignored him, patted Ruan Xiaoqi on the shoulder and said: "After you go back, train the navy more diligently, and also arrange to promote the brothers in the navy in Mizhou Port. Just like I promoted you, understand.
Alright?"
Ruan Xiaoqi chuckled and said: "I understand, I will listen to Shao Zai."
"Well, let's go. You are the commander of the navy. It's not good for you to stay here for too long."
Ruan Xiaoqi bowed and turned to leave. Yang Lin coughed lightly and said, "Bring more of the sea dog."
"I understand, I understand."
Song Jiang looked at Ruan Xiaoqi's retreating figure and said with a smile: "Can this bastard support Chenghai Marine?"
"I rely on him to support me? There are so many people left in Mizhou Port, plus Xujiazhuang, he can still make mistakes for me, I will defeat him first."
As Yang Lin was talking, several maids came in front. After washing and wiping their faces, Yang Lin continued: "This Chenghai Navy Commander, I bought it from Cai Jing for hundreds of thousands of dollars."
Song Jiang's face turned red, but fortunately he was dark enough so that he could not tell. It has become the norm for these high-ranking officials to sell their positions and get titles in the imperial court today. Song Jiang is a somewhat conservative person at heart and cannot be as plain as Yang Lin.
At the turn of spring and summer, it was very comfortable under the shade of the trees. Yang Lin chatted with Song Jiang for a while, and said enthusiastically: "I'll stay here today and have lunch with me before leaving."
Song Jiang smiled and agreed. At this time, a young man wearing light armor walked into the yard. After entering, he looked around and saw Yang Lin running under the tree and said happily: "Father!"
The one who came was Yang Tianci. This boy didn't like martial arts, but just to be like his brothers, he wore armor and wandered around Xiaolang Camp every day.
Yang Lin is now angry when he sees these guys. The last time he got a South China tiger, he almost scared himself and the room full of concubines to death. A few days ago, he made a dynamite, and the Zhaodefang school grounds were staged in the middle of the night.
A hole was blown out of the wall.
"You're such a sneaky kid. What nonsense did you do to make your father angry?"
Yang Tianci groaned and said, "Father, I've built the rocket you wanted. Do you want to try it?"
Yang Lin knew that this Gan'er was very talented in strange skills and had found many craftsmen and ancient books for him since he was a child. Hearing this, he was overjoyed and stood up and said: "That's not bad. I didn't support you in vain. Come on."
Take it out and have a look."
Yang Tianci clapped his hands, and two more children of about the same age, but much taller than him, came in smiling and carrying something shaped like a bamboo tube.
Yang Tianning and Yang Tianan, each carrying a cloth bag behind their backs, came over with a flattering smile and said: "My son is paying homage to his adoptive father. Is his adoptive father not angry?"
"Is this this thing?" Yang Lin walked around it, and it looked pretty, with all the leads and all.
Yang Tianci made three strokes, five divided by two, and tied the wings to the launcher in the bamboo tube, and said: "In order to prevent this thing from falling down and hurting people, we only launch this kite up, and then when it reaches the sky, this bag is buckled.
It can still be held up when flying, and it will automatically untie when it falls!"
Yang Lin was very interested and said: "Try it quickly. If it succeeds, the previous account will be written off with you."
Yang Tianning was overjoyed and urged: "Third brother, hurry up."
When the fuse was lit, Yang Lin rushed behind Song Jiang, pulled his shoulder and looked up.
There was only a sharp sound, the bamboo tube exploded halfway, and the kite flew into the sky. After a while, flowers rained down in Zhaode Square.
Although there are very few, they add up and when the time comes, if you place more of them, it will be enough for Zhao Ji to show off.
Yang Lin then came out from behind Song Jiang, swung his sleeves with his hands behind his back, and said, "That's right, you two little hozens should also learn from God's gift. Don't make me angry all the time."
Several female relatives in the nearby yard were all attracted to come out. Zhong Guiyi, relying on his youth, jumped to the yard.
Seeing a lot of strangers, he timidly hid behind Yang Lin and stared at the transmitter on the ground with his big eyes open.
Yang Lin smiled and said: "You are a tiger girl from the general gate, are you still afraid of life?"
Zhong Guiyi pointed at his godsons and asked curiously: "They are so young and wearing armor. Are they all soldiers?"
The words with a slight northwest accent come from the mouth of a Luoli, especially such a cute Luoli, which makes people feel very comfortable.
When the young Mu Ai and Yang Tianning saw such a beautiful young lady, they rushed forward and asked: "Father, what is this?"
Yang Lin supported Taotao with a smile and said, "This is your, um, adoptive mother."
The three monkey cubs quickly stepped forward to salute, making Taotao blush with embarrassment as if she were a really ripe peach.
Although the Zhong family came from a family of military commanders, their great-grandfather and his family were all great Confucians.
Zhong Shidao was determined to cultivate his favorite little daughter into a little lady, so he had many rules. He had to pay attention to his manners and demeanor in everything he did.
At this time, Taotao resumed her ladylike behavior, and met her godson in a decent manner and exchanged a few words with him.
