Emperor Renzong of the Great Song Dynasty

Zhao Yiyi took a sip of the ginger honey water and thought, another familiar face.

Sky Island, Master Lu, isn't this Bai Yutang's future big brother?

Of course, now that Bai Yutang has not lost his relatives, he will definitely not abandon his family and business to other people's homes to worship with others. Lu Fang should not be his eldest brother, but just a friend of his own brother Bai Jintang.

Since Lu Fang is the lord of the island, he naturally has a great family and a great reputation.The news of his marriage spread to Bianliang City, and it was not too surprising that the market storyteller adapted it into a joke that was circulated in the teahouse.

Zhao Xu gulped down a glass of cold sour plum soup, and couldn't sit still in his seat. Seeing how lively the people were in the courtyard downstairs, he ran to the corridor outside the private room and looked down while holding onto the railing.

Liu En sighed softly, put down his Longjing and milk, grabbed her back, and put her by the window near the patio: "Listen here, it's the same."

Zhao Yiyi also moved to their side, and asked Zhao Xu with a smile, "Do you know who this Lord Lu is?"

Zhao Xu fixed his eyes on the storyteller in the courtyard who was holding a Xingmu and wearing a long gown, and shook his head quickly: "I don't know."

Zhao Yiyi said softly: "He, he is Bai Jintang's friend. Bai Jintang is Bai Yutang's elder brother..."

At this time, the storyteller downstairs has finished reading the dowry gift given by the sky island when they got married-"That's really red makeup, impressive", he changed the subject: "But the bride, But I don’t like these things. People, I don’t want any of them.”

"Can't you see?"

The audience and tea drinkers sitting on the first floor were all surprised: "Hey, she doesn't even like this? Even if you marry a princess and go home, these things are enough!"

Zhao Yiyi laughed loudly, hugged Zhao Xu in his arms and rubbed him again: "Don't listen to their nonsense!"

Seeing Zhao Xu's hair being messed up even more by him, Liu En couldn't help but said, "Don't rub it, you won't be able to see people after you rub it again."

The storyteller said with a smile: "The bride doesn't like it, and there is a reason why she doesn't like it. Her own net worth is ten times richer than Master Lu's!"

"ten times?"

There was an uproar downstairs.

"Then Lu Fang lived on the empty island. The entire land on the island belonged to his family, and the fishing boats also belonged to his family. The fishermen on the island had to pay his family some money when they went fishing. Sitting at home every day , that money fell from the sky! What is the origin of this bride, who is actually richer than his family?"

Zhao Yiyi chuckled, and rubbed Zhao Xu's cheek with his fingertips: "Since Lu Fang is the lord of the island, she is basically the pinnacle of wealth that the Anshan people can achieve through the accumulation and management of generations. Those well-known wealthy businessmen may not be able to compare with him. People who are ten times richer than him are either officials or bandits—"

Zhao Xu looked up and asked him, "What is a bandit?"

Zhao Yiyi said: "People who do business without capital. Since it is a business without capital, they will make money no matter what. How can they not be rich?"

Sure enough, the storyteller Xingmu clapped: "The bride is the famous and invincible pirate leader, Shi Yunniang!"

Zhao Yiyi shook his hands and almost pulled Zhao Xu's braids away.

What is this person!

It turned out to be a bandit!

Isn't this the pirate leader who gave him a box of gold back then in Yangzhou!

At that time, Zhao Xu hadn't even been born yet...

Zhao Yiyi and Liu En exchanged a shocked look, and couldn't help but said: "So her surname is Shi."

Liu Endao: "Time changes and things are easy..."

Zhao Yiyi nodded: "That's right, she's actually going to get married..."

He vaguely remembered that Yunniang and Jiang Ping were still somewhat unclearly involved... Then Lu Fang and Jiang Ping must also be friends... This, this...

"What a mess..."

But he also understands that Yunniang, as a pirate who traverses the ocean, will definitely not live her life as a love comedy of "you love me, I love him, he loves you, and I seem to love you too".

A pirate leader married an island owner... No matter how you look at it, it looks like a merger and acquisition by a strong alliance...

Seeing the two of them playing charades together, Zhao Xu couldn't help but tugged at Zhao Yiyi's finger and asked, "Father, what are you talking about?"

Zhao Yiyi came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "It's nothing. That Shi Yunniang, Dad knows her."

Zhao Xu asked, "Who is she?"

Zhao Yiyi recalled the relationship between Yunniang and himself, and couldn't help but said, "Maybe she is my angel investor..."

Zhao Xu looked puzzled.

Zhao Yiyi coughed, stopped joking, and seriously explained to Zhao Xu how he and Yunniang met.

At this time, the storyteller downstairs had finished telling the story of the wedding between Island Master Lu and the pirate leader, and began to change the topic to the story of the battle between the martial arts masters Yelu XX and Xiao XX in the Liao Kingdom on the summit of Shangjing.Zhao Xu didn't know Yelu XX or Xiao XX, so he didn't have much interest in them, so he put aside the storyteller and concentrated on listening to her father's stories.

"At that time, my father hadn't married my mother, there was no Axu in the world, and the national treasury was tight, so someone proposed to reform Jiangnan's tea policy, so that it was easy to stick to the law..."

He started with the sticking method, how Bao Zheng was ordered in danger, the inn where he was staying suddenly caught fire, how he met Jiang Ping and Yunniang, and how Yunniang and Bao Zheng were both comatose according to ancient and modern pots, how he borrowed the acne Liu E was deceived by the reason and went to Yangzhou in person...

He wholeheartedly raised Zhao Xu as his heir, wishing that she would grow into a real 666 god tomorrow.Therefore, he told her all the things that happened to him back then, without any concealment or ambiguity.

When it was said that Yunniang had given him a box of gold in exchange for him to see her after ten years in power, the storyteller downstairs had finished telling the anecdotes of the world, and Zhao Yiyi drank up all the ginger honey water.

After Zhao Xu finished listening to the stories of Father's back then, he only remembered one thing: "Niang Yun is really amazing!"

Zhao Yiyi secretly took a sip of her sour plum soup to quench her thirst, and nodded when she heard this: "She is really powerful."

As an orphan and helpless, she managed to subdue a ship of vicious pirates and lead them to conquer other pirates, almost becoming king on the ocean.

But now it seems that she is not satisfied with "being so powerful", but wants to be even more powerful...

A pirate leader, if he has an island city of his own...

But the reason why pirates are so difficult to be wiped out by the officers and soldiers, isn't it because they come and go without a trace, jumping repeatedly in the offshore and deep ocean?Once there are too many connections with the land, isn't that a target for the officers and soldiers?

Yunniang shouldn't be so naive, thinking that the box of gold she gave can be exchanged for eternal peace, right?

It is only natural for the officers and soldiers to suppress bandits.If the officers and soldiers stopped suppressing the bandits, the emperor Zhao Yiyi could also choose a favorite old crooked neck tree near Bianliang as early as possible for future use.

Zhao Yiyi turned his head and asked Liu En, "Did she always work in Quanzhou before?"

Liu En nodded: "Yes."

Quanzhou is further south than Yangzhou, and the government's control capabilities are weaker. In addition, it has mature sea ports and has close trade with overseas countries. It is a paradise for maritime merchants and pirates.

As the leader of the pirates, Yunniang's lair is still in Quanzhou Port, and Yangzhou is not even considered a sub-ruler, at most it is a guest house.But even so, she didn't set up an island near Quanzhou Port with much fanfare, saying that my home is here, and friends from all walks of life are welcome to come and visit.

"Sunken Island should be in Songjiang Mansion, right?"

Liu En drew a rough topographical map on the tea table: "It's at the mouth of the Yangtze River."

The mouth of the Yangtze River is the future Shanghai.

Lu Fang was born 1000 years earlier. If he was born a thousand years later, his family would have an island in Shanghai.

Zhao Xu stared at the topographic map drawn by Liu En on the table, and pointed to the dot representing the empty island: "This is the empty island."

Liu En said: "Yes."

Another point was clicked near the empty island: "This is Yangzhou."

"This is Jinhua."

"This is Jiangning Mansion..."

Zhao Yiyi watched the two of them having fun, and suddenly said, "Lu Fang and Bai Jintang are friends."

Liu Endao: "Yes, best friends."

Even as a system AI, he couldn't help but want to complain: "This boss Bai really has close friends everywhere."

Zhao Yiyi said in his heart that with his young brother's stinky temper, he would provoke many enemies to chase and kill him when he walked in the rivers and lakes.

If it weren't for my brother's popularity, I'm afraid he would have overturned countless times.

"Fan Xiang told me a few days ago that Bai Jintang plans to move the location of the shipyard from Yangzhou to another place."

When he saw Fan Zhongyan's memorial, he knew it was a demolition dispute.Generally speaking, the port of Yangzhou is too expensive, and it is not cost-effective to buy it to build a shipyard. Besides, they may not be willing to sell it.That being the case, why stick to Yangzhou, it is better to choose another location and find a more suitable place.

"you say……"

Zhao Yiyi said to Liu En in a strange tone: "Bai Jintang has so many friends, when encountering difficulties, he will naturally want to ask friends for help."

"He wants to choose a good port to build a ship, and search downstream along the Yangtze River. Is there a more suitable place than Sunken Island?"

The empty island is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River. Its geographical location is much better than that of Yangzhou, which is at the junction of the Yangtze River Canal.The shipyard will be built here, and the ship will be driven directly into the inland along the Yangtze River after it is built.The island owner is also his friend, as long as he asks, rent or borrow, he can always get several ports, which is infinitely more convenient than in Yangzhou.

The friendship of Jianghu people is so strange, although according to Zhao Yiyi, Bai Jintang's friends are made by him throwing money everywhere, but the friends made in this way can even spend their wealth for him in turn.

I'm afraid that Bai Jintang is going to demolish the empty island and rebuild it into a shipyard, and Lu Fang can support it with both hands.

"At this juncture, why did Lu Fang marry a pirate leader?"

Holding Zhao Xu's braid, he murmured, "Weird."
