Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

Now that the Fengshen has gone away, the fleets of the three routes have also set off. From this point on, the foundation for the unified pattern of the Ling family's story began to be laid.

The bloody two months in the South China Sea were reported back to the Great Zhou a few months later, and various small countries issued credentials to the Great Zhou, accusing the Xie family of the Great Zhou for raising private soldiers and treating them as pirates. They repeatedly He robbed merchant ships from various countries and blocked sea routes. Now all countries have united to boycott Xie's ship and requested the Zhou Dynasty to control their subordinates and not to have such a heavy impact on the Southeast Asian countries. Such and such, it has been written in thousands of words, and its composition is gorgeous , the sharp meaning and the gorgeous writing made the officials of Honglu Temple in the Great Zhou Dynasty dumbfounded. The credential written by a small foreign country is actually better than the one written by Honglu Temple? Of course, this is a story for later.

After just a few days on the ship, Yan San felt that something was wrong. Unlike Yan Qi, the shadow, that Sumu was really trying to steal his job!

He would calculate the time for Ling Qingyu to get up early in the morning, prepare her favorite breakfast, prepare the toiletries, and ensure that the temperature of the hot towel is just right when it is handed over to Ling Qingyu who just woke up. Moreover, this Boy, all the service is done on your knees!

Even if Yan San tried to find fault with his grandma, he still couldn't find anything wrong with the young man.

As soon as I raised my fingers, the tea was brought to me. When I raised my eyelids, the book was placed in front of me. It was still in the same place I saw it last time. The clothes were always neatly packed. The outfit I wanted to wear today would definitely be on the hanger. No need to explain, the meal must be what you want to eat today. Ling Qingyu, who was a little stupid after being served, communicated and enlightened the two of them respectively before Yan San broke out.

This is how I communicate with Sum.

Soum!

I'm here, slave.

Coughing sound. He hurriedly poured water and tea, and then patted her on the back.

Sum, don't call yourself a slave from now on. Talk to me, or if you really can't call me a subordinate. It's best to talk to me.

Yes, I understand.

Look, I'm not here at Fatme, and you're not my slave. Don't do anything like that, huh?

Master doesn't like Sum?

No, Sum, you are an independent individual. What are you doing? She grabbed his knife-drawing hand and asked urgently.

You are Sum's master. If the master doesn't like it, Sum will have no need to live.

How could I not like you?

Then master doesn't like Sum serving you?

Depend on! This doesn’t make sense! Under the innocent gaze of the blond boy, Ling Qingyu ran away.

The communication with Yan San is as follows.

Yan San, look, Sumu is still a child.

Not young anymore. He said it himself. He can warm the master's bed at the age of thirteen.

Well, the education he received in the early stage was wrong. As long as we teach him seriously, he will definitely realize his mistake.

My fault, I shouldn't have picked him at all!

As a result of the communication, Yan San broke out in advance. He found Sum and Xie Sanlang on the deck, and then said that as long as they passed ten moves under him, they could work in the captain's cabin, otherwise they would practice every day.

Yan San was so cruel. He ate the purple fruit and practiced hard for two months. On the first day, he didn't let the two of them pass even a single move. On the contrary, Sum couldn't get out of bed for the whole day.

Ling Qingyu felt so sorry that he stewed soup with his own hands and gave it to the two of them, which comforted them and encouraged them.

After Xie Sanlang drank the soup, he asked Sum: What on earth did you do to let the third master beat us and let the boss use this soup to poison us?

Sum immersed himself in practicing martial arts. When the ship arrived in Quanzhou, he was able to match Yan Sanba's moves.

In order to facilitate the sale of the goods, there are still some treasures and elephants in the outer cabins of the Fengshen and the other two ships, including various specialty textiles from Cholu Aizha cloth.

So Ling Qingyu met Shi Changjing, the director of the new shipping department, who Ding Dong said would definitely make her jump with anger.

Ling Qingyu's body was still a little weak. After all, he was injured in that place, and the wound was very large. From time to time, he would cough in a low voice, and his speaking voice became softer, giving him a ladylike demeanor.

Chang Jing carefully looked at her up and down, left and right, with obscene eyes, and sneered, saying: A good woman will not come out to show off.

Ling Qingyu just smiled and didn't answer.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Chang Jing turned to Ding Dong and said, The imperial court has opened a shopping mall with Daliao. I want to buy all your spice rhinoceros.

I wonder if your Excellency has any official documents? Ling Qingyu asked softly.

Chang Jing was stunned for a moment, not expecting the woman to speak, so she turned around and said, Why are you interrupting?

I own these three boats. Sir, when you say you want to buy them all, you have to give a reason, or can you pay off the last IOU? Ling Qingyu lowered his head, his eyes drooped, and his eyebrows were lowered. The purpose is like, Tao.

What our shipping department said can be false. What are you worried about about the government's IOU? What? Do you doubt the court? Chang Jing stood up angrily.

Sir, the Shipping Department and the government should also have an explanation. Now that the imperial court has something to do, we should do our best to help. However, your lord, you took away all our goods and didn't give us any money. It's not appropriate to talk about this matter. ? Or, let's go talk to Mr. Jin? Ling Qingyu raised his eyes slightly and smiled.

Chang Jing was stunned for a moment. The imperial court asked the shipping companies in each city to increase the number of purchases, but it only reached 10% of the amount and 40% of the purchase. Now he is asking for all the purchases to be done by himself and others with the remaining part. For business, it's fine as long as the money is owed, but if this matter is brought to the forefront, I'm afraid it will be a little bad.

Anyway, our ship has not entered the port now, and it is not within the jurisdiction of your Quanzhou Shipping Department. Ding Dong, let's return. We will not enter the port of Dazhou. Ling Qingyu picked up his sleeves and said.

How dare you! Don't you ever want to go back to Dazhou? Chang Jing said angrily.

Of course I will come back. As long as we report what you did this time to the court, the court will always give us an explanation, right? I remember Master Fan also said that this foreign trade relies on our maritime merchants working hard to run, you Wouldn't this cut off our livelihood? Or should I tell everyone that no ships will enter your Quanzhou in the future? Ling Qingyu said with a smile.

Chang Jing was stunned for a moment. The clerk behind him approached him and whispered: Sir, no ship has entered Quanzhou Port in the past few months. If they leave again, we will not be able to complete this year's quota.

Nonsense! It's so easy to come and leave whenever you want! Chang Jing shouted after the clerk shouted back: Come here, arrest this bitch.

Sir! Wei Huaian, a junior official of the Quanzhou Shipping Department, called out, and then said to Ling Qingyu: Master Ling, the court did have an order this time to increase the amount of spices purchased, but Master Ling is an old shipping company in Quanzhou. Mr. Chang, as a courtesy, we only offer 60% of the purchase price, but we also have a request. On the order, we only offer 40% of the purchase price, and there is no IOU for the 20%.

Ling Qingyu smiled and said, That's no problem.

Chang Jing wanted to speak, but was forced out by Wei Huaian, saying in a low voice: Sir, we are looking for money. Although the Ling family is a merchant, it has some relationship with the superiors. If you arrest her, how will you deal with it? If this matter is spread out, none of us will be better off, and the 20% will be hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and it will be for nothing.

Seeing that Chang Jing still looked unwilling, Wei Huaian only scolded him as a stupid pig. There were hundreds of people on this ship, and you were only a dozen. You caught them all, but you couldn't point them out directly, so he had to say: Mr. Chang, I am not afraid to tell you straight. The original Mr. Fan and Mr. Zhao from Zhejiang Road had a good relationship with her. Now Mr. Fan has taken up the post of official, and Mr. Zhao is about to be promoted. Do you think you can hide this? live?

Only then did Chang Jing come back to her senses. She originally thought that this was a woman and a merchant, so she had some backing. Wei Huaian was right, 20% was hundreds of thousands of taels, and she had no worries, so she nodded and said, Well, Look at her as a woman, pity her, that's it.

Chang Jing no longer wanted to stay in the same room with a woman she despised, so she went back to her boat to wait for the clerk to finish counting.

Wei Huaian returned to the captain's room and saw Ling Qingyu looking at Chang Jing who was boarding the official boat. He also looked next to her and then said: The wind is very strong now. Head Ling should pay attention to his body. If he falls into the water, , I’m afraid I’ll get seriously ill.”

Ling Qingyu turned to look at him. She had some impressions of this little official. She was with Fan Ye in the first year. He was a smart man. He smiled and said, Yes, the waves are so big and your boat is so small. It really takes Be careful. I will arrange for someone to unload the 20% of the spices separately so that no one will notice.

Thank you, Master Ling. Wei Huaian bowed his hands and bowed. Twenty percent of the spices. The Ling family's spices always have a variety of varieties and good quality. If they sell well, they can get 700,000 taels of silver. This is the only opportunity like this. That idiot Chang Jing, Mr. Fan must have had his reasons for protecting the Ling family so much in the past. The sea route has been very rough in the past few years. Only the Ling family's boats come back every year. In the past few months this year, there has been a situation where there are only boats out but no boats. Looking back, the Ling family is very evil. Everyone is just trying to make money. The Ling family has never treated them badly. However, Chang Jing's behavior is to cut off everyone's financial path.

After a hurried count, Wei Huaian's order was so artistic that even the quantity was confused.

And because it was already too late after the inventory was completed, there were big waves that night. The boat that the Shipping Department went back lost many people into the water because of the big waves. When Chang Jing was the last one to be fished out, she had more air coming out and less air coming in. At the beginning of November The water was already very cold. When she returned home, Chang Jing developed a high fever. Due to lack of timely treatment and improper medication, she died ten days later.

Ling Qingyu didn't stay in Quanzhou for long. Ding Butong and Wu Datang came to see her on the Feng Shen Shen.

Quanzhou has accumulated a large industry in the past few years, but Ding Butong and Wu Da are conservative people, and they have only developed some farms and tea mountains, as well as warehouses, shipyards, and their own spices and medicinal materials shops. That's it. At the end of the year, the balance will be in the millions.

Uncle Ding, I won't leave much goods in Quanzhou this time. If I leave too much, I'm afraid I'll get you into trouble. With this money, you and Mr. Tang can discuss it and it's best to buy more tea mountains and lychee gardens. Ling Qingyu said. He put down his account book and spoke much slower than usual.

I understand. Are you feeling unwell, Master? Ding Budong asked with concern. This little girl always spoke loudly and was very angry. Why did she seem to be weaker this time?

It's okay, I just got a bit cold. Quanzhou has not been very peaceful recently, so we should restrain ourselves and buy more properties. If there are less here, we will go to Wuyi Mountain, where good tea is produced. It was said to Tang Tiansheng.

Yes, I'll handle it right away. Tang Tiansheng replied.

Okay, adoptive father, you can leave first after you finish talking. We still have to hurry. Seeing that several people had finished talking, Ding Dong shouted to drive them away.

Ling Qingyu stood in front of the window and watched Ding Butong's boat go away. He secretly thought about whether he should not transport spices to Quanzhou during this period. He bought it for 700,000 taels. Wei Huaian started with Chang Jing. It was natural to do it cleanly. If it is not done cleanly, the Ling family will inevitably be affected. The amount of cash coming from the Americas is already considerable. If Zhu Weili and Fang Nianyuan find gold mines in New Guinea and Australia, then gold will not be a problem. Southeast Asia The spices already have a monopoly. You can consider dumping them in Europe and the Americas first, but that won’t work. The largest consumer of spices is Dazhou. It's better to let Quanzhou stay quiet for a while. Is a port without ships still called a trading port? There can always be one or two officials who are reasonable and not so shady, right?
