History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

No one thought that Zhang Dahai would appear at this time.

The few people standing at the door curled their lips, a little disgusted.

Zhang Dahai stared at Wu Min with red eyes.

Wu Min turned her head away. When she saw Zhang Dahai behind the door, she knew that Zhang Dahai had heard everything she said before.

But all these are her true thoughts, even if they are heard, Wu Min is not afraid.

Zhang Dahai still looked at her, "You were taken by your brother before you were three years old. Do you still remember that your brother took you to the beach to pick up conch?"

Seeing that Wu Min didn't respond, Zhang Dahai smiled dryly, pretending to be strong and said, "I even forgot that you were young at that time, how could you remember." Then he looked at her expectantly and said, " When you were three years old, your family suffered a catastrophe. Your father went out to sea and encountered a storm and never came back. During this time, the family was a little chaotic and didn’t care about you. One day, you ran out to play and never came back. He Niang looked for you everywhere, and just heard that you were taken away by an old man from outside. Do you still have any memory of this incident?"

Wu Min said impatiently: "No, no, I'm pretty sure I was born to my parents, and I wasn't abducted at all." Although the old man and the old lady treated her badly, they even sold her to the elder brother to get a wife. Although he became a pirate leader, Wu Min has never doubted his own life experience, he only treats boys as parents, and doesn't treat girls as human beings.

"Then the scar on your forehead..."

Wu Min touched the scar on his forehead, and then realized why Zhang Dahai thought she was his sister.

She really didn't remember the origin of this scar.

Seeing Zhang Dahai's expectant expression, Wu Min cut off his hope in one gulp.

"This scar was left when I knocked on a rock when I was young. I have already said that I am not your sister."

Zhang Dahai slumped on the ground as if he had been hit.He looked at Wu Min blankly, looking a little pitiful.

The third child at the door was looking at him coldly, even Lin Mo turned a blind eye to his current appearance.

He offended his brother to take care of Wu Min before, but Wu Min told him that she was not his sister.

How is this possible, how can Zhang Dahai accept this?

During this period, he was not a fool, so he naturally felt the rejection from his brothers, but Wu Min was his sister, and he was willing to endure everything for his sister, but now he was told that everything was just wishful thinking.

Self-righteous Wu Min is his sister, self-righteous wronged brothers to accommodate him.Feeling the bitterness in his mouth, Zhang Dahai felt dizzy.

"Brother Dahai!" Xiaoqi saw Zhang Dahai collapsed on the ground, pushed Wu Min away and rushed over, ran to help Zhang Dahai up.

"Brother Dahai, are you okay?" After all, Xiao Qi hasn't grown up yet, and he doesn't have enough strength to hug Zhang Dahai.

The second child outside couldn't see him anymore, so he gave the third child a wink, and the third child reluctantly went into the room to help Xiao Qi hug Zhang Dahai.

This time, instead of carrying him into Lin Mo's room, he carried him across Wu Min to Zhang Dahai's room.

Zhang Dahai just looked at the sky like this, his whole body was lost, and he didn't respond to the outside world in a trance.

Only then did Wu Min look at Lin Mo, "Don't you mean to let Zhang Dahai see my true face and let him break off with me completely? Now that you have achieved your goal, I was the one who wanted to murder you before." , brother Zhu has nothing to do, you let brother Zhu go quickly!"

Lin Mo admired Wu Min's keenness. As soon as he saw Zhang Dahai appearing, he immediately guessed his purpose, obeyed his will, and made Zhang Dahai give up.

He smiled, then looked at Zhu Yan, and stretched out his hand as a gesture of please.

Wu Min immediately had a bad premonition in his heart, and then looked at Zhu Yan. "Brother Zhu..."

Zhu Yan said, "Boss, I have already discussed with this Captain Lin, allowing him to recruit some people on the island to work as boatmen on the ship, and he will recommend me to the medical school in Bozhou, which is responsible for the management of the medical school. The captain is an uncle of Captain Lin, and I also know that there are a large number of famous doctors gathered there, who may be able to cure my illness, and you don't need to work hard to figure it out." In fact, it was a hostage, but this hostage was taken Pawn in medical school.

If it were him, he would not dare to recruit pirates on board at will. With him in Lin Mo's hands, he would not be afraid of the rebellion of those recruited on the ship.

Wu Min knew Lin Mo's plan as soon as he heard it, and immediately rejected it.

"No, brother Zhu, you can't go!"

Zhu Yan sighed in his heart and shook his head. They were already calling at the door, so it wasn't that he refused to go if he said no.

"What do you want to come to me, don't look for Brother Zhu." Wu Min stopped Zhu Yan behind him, and said to Lin Mo tremblingly, her eyes were red, like an angry lioness.

Zhu Yan pulled Wu Min away, "Don't make trouble, the climate in the south of the Yangtze River is warm and humid, not as humid as the seaside, and it is also suitable for my recovery. What's more, there are a lot of famous medicinal materials there. Captain Lin is already very sincere." Because The tone was too fast, and he coughed violently again.

"Brother Zhu!"

Wu Min was at a loss, and reached out to help him pat him on the back, but Zhu Yan brushed him away.

It was originally Wu Min's goal to earn a lot of money to take Zhu Yan to see a doctor. Thinking of this, Wu Min bit his lip and said to Zhu Yan, "Brother Zhu, take me with you, and I will go with you."

Zhu Yan relieved his cough, then turned around and reprimanded her, "Nonsense, you are the leader, you have to take care of the people on the island, how can you leave them behind and act willfully?" Probably because Zhu Yan coughed too much before, Zhu Yan's eyes were moist .

Wu Min said to him aggrieved, "I'd rather not be the leader..." When she has something good in her hand, if it wasn't for him, she would never have taken the position of leader.

Saying that he hugged Zhu Yan's arm, "Please, brother Zhu, just take me with you!"

Zhu Yan pushed her hand away, "Stop making trouble, I'm going to see a doctor, what are you going to do?"

"Of course I'm going to accompany you." Wu Min looked at him and said seriously.

Zhu Yan turned his eyes away, not to look at the sudden affection in her eyes.

"You don't need to take care of me. When I'm not on the island, I hope you can take good care of the people on the island." Zhu Yan never replied to Wu Min. In his mind, he was always on the verge of death, and he didn't think about his feelings at all.

What's more, teaching Wu Min is just a way to relieve boredom in loneliness, and I have never considered other developments with her.

Wu Min's eyes showed disappointment.

Since she was 13 years old, when she saw Zhu Yan in the stone prison, she felt that this beautiful little brother could not be polluted by dust like her. Later, this little brother taught her how to preserve her confidant and how to live in the hands of that tyrannical husband. down.

She stayed with him wholeheartedly because she had never begged a little brother to be with her because of her inferiority complex, and she also hoped that she could stay by his side all the time.

After she killed that cruel husband, not only did she not feel sad, but she breathed a sigh of relief. At least the barrier between the two of them was finally removed.

After Wu Minhui arrived on the island, the first thing she did was to rescue the little brother. Only then did she know that the little brother was the legitimate young master of the island.

Just because of poor health, coupled with the fact that he was too young to resist, and his predecessor did not leave a will, his righteous brother, her husband, seized the opportunity to seize power, and then directly locked him in a stone prison.

Now the little brother came out, but his body was broken, and he couldn't take the position of leader at all. He suggested that Wu Min should take over the position. Wu Min thought he didn't have that ability, but she was willing to learn for the sake of the little brother, and she worked hard to learn how to do it all these years a leader.

Wu Min tried his best to make up for his broken foundation, but it was useless. Two years ago, he accidentally heard a news from a businessman who was robbed. Famous doctors from all over the world have cured many unexplained diseases there.

After Wu Min heard this, she wanted to send her little brother there, as long as she could continue his life, she would do anything for her.

Over the years, she has been collecting information about that medical school, and learned that the little brother's illness can only be remedied by good medicine. A century-old ginseng costs several thousand taels of silver, let alone other expensive medicines.

As a result, she was worried that the money she had saved over the years was not enough.He just wanted to find the treasure, not to mention grabbing all of it back, just a part of it is fine, as long as it is enough to treat brother Zhu's illness.

Lin Mo, who had always been a wooden man, looked at the two of them and thought it was a good show!

"Miss Wu doesn't need to take it with me all the time, I can go and see brother Zhu Xian every once in a while." Lin Mo's opening immediately brought hope to Wu Min.

"Brother Zhu, can I see you?" She asked eagerly.

In front of Zhu Yan, she will never have the confidence.

Zhu Yan didn't look happy at all, and said: "Boss, while I'm away, you'll be busy enough with the affairs on the island, so there's no need to waste a lot of time looking at me." month time.

Lin Mo on the side was a little surprised, it seemed that things were not as he imagined.

This Zhu Yan obviously has no affection for Wu Min, and everything is just Wu Min's unrequited love.

Lin Mo shook his head, not getting involved in the chaotic relationship between the two.

On this day, the island was terrified by the sudden shell bombing, and ran around in fright, not knowing where to hide.

Unexpectedly, an hour later, the ship docked, and the crew was recruited on the island.

It was as if the previous shells had never sounded.

This dramatic development surprised everyone on the island.

I thought that I would die today, but I didn't expect such a result.

Lin Mo didn't really come here to kill people. First, he fired shells to frighten them. Second, they currently have too few manpower on board, and they need to absorb some manpower from the outside world.

This part of the manpower must be familiar with the water. Some veterans who are close to the coast and familiar with the sea are recruited by other forces. It is not that Lin Mo has not recruited manpower in Qingdao, but these people are all newcomers and are not useful at all.

This time also happened to be Wu Min's scheme, which made Lin Mo absorb people's ideas from pirates.

Lin Mo expressed that he was not worried at all about whether there were more people on board than his brothers, and whether these originally pirates would rebel.

After all, Zhu Yan, the young master of the island, was in his hands. Detaining Zhu Yan was equivalent to choking Wu Min's throat. She dared not instruct the crew on the ship to rebel.

When he got the news from Lao Bai, he already had this plan in mind, boldly recruiting manpower from pirates, instead of casually finding some fishermen who are familiar with water from Qingdao.

First of all, these pirates are well-trained, unlike their brothers who are monks halfway, they have been dealing with the sea all their lives.

The power to disintegrate these people without bloodshed is the best, and drawing some manpower from these people is his main purpose this time. As for awakening Zhang Dahai, it is just incidental.

Although there was no real fight, the opponent surrendered after a few shots, but because the opponent was so knowledgeable, Lin Mo was willing to give the opponent a chance.

What's more, the people on the island were obviously good citizens, so he didn't dare to really bombard them unless it offended him.

"If you dare to go, you brat, I will break your legs!" Old man Zhang heard that his grandson also wanted to sign up, shouted, took off his shoes and chased him.

The little grandson dodged the shoes thrown by his grandfather, and said helplessly, "Grandpa, please stop making trouble, but they are fully recruited, so I can't go!"

"It's better if you don't go!" Old man Zhang shouted at his grandson angrily, and then jumped on one foot to chase him again.

"Even the leader and the young master agreed. Grandpa, why are you stopping me and not allowing me to go?" The little grandson couldn't understand. He was full of grievances when he was stopped by old man Zhang. At that time, he shouted at old man Zhang. Want to get an answer.

Even though old man Zhang is old, he is still very flexible, and it is still very easy to stop a half-grown boy.

"Where are you going? I don't know who I am, you, do you know what those people mean by recruiting you on board? After you go, you don't know if you can come back!" Old Zhang said nervously.

The little grandson almost laughed angrily, "Grandpa, you are overthinking. They only said to recruit some boatmen to maintain the ship, which is not as complicated as you think." They go to die.

Taking advantage of his grandfather not paying attention, the little grandson rushed past him, "Grandpa, just stay at home, I'll go first!" After speaking, he ran away.

When old man Zhang saw it, he quickly jumped over to find another shoe, put it on, and chased after it. "You brat, come back to me, don't go!"

……

Before it was almost dark, Lin Mo let go. This time, he almost wiped out all the talents on the island.

Although it can be said that this place is a pirate's den, there are not many real people, and Lin Mo chooses all those who are useful.

If a ship can't fit, it's a big deal to buy another one.

Zhu Yan not only took himself as a hostage, but also paid 1 taels in advance for medical treatment.

Of course, the 1 taels of Lin Mo cannot be moved, but you can move some of them first, and return the rest later.

After the ship returned to the port, he immediately wrote a letter. This letter was addressed to Lin Yuan's younger brother, Lin Yang. Naturally, Lin Mo knew something about the relatives of that mysterious uncle's family. For example, he knew that Uncle Lin Yuan There is also a younger brother who is in poor health and recuperates in Bozhou, and he is in charge of the medical school in Bozhou.

Every year he prepares two gifts, one to the capital and the other to Bozhou.

This time, when he asked Uncle Lin Yang for help, Lin Mo naturally would not forget etiquette.

After writing the letter, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Mo called out to come in.

Then he heard the door being pushed open, and when he looked up, he saw Zhang Dahai leaning against the door with an expectant expression on his face.

"Brother, I, want to withdraw from this voyage?" He swallowed and said.

Lin Mo put down his pen, spread the letter in front of him, and looked at him, "Aren't you going to go treasure hunting?"

Zhang Dahai covered his face, squatted in front of the door, and said in a crying voice, "I don't have the face to go again!"

Thinking of doing so many stupid things before, Zhang Dahai really didn't know how to get along with his brothers.

Lin Mo originally wanted to find a time to isolate Zhang Dahai, but he didn't expect Zhang Dahai to speak out by himself.

"That treasure map belongs to you. If you don't go, will you give up this easy-to-get treasure?"

Zhang Dahai saw it clearly, and he shook his head, "I don't know if this empty treasure is real, brother, this treasure map is just an apology to all brothers." Anyway, he can't eat or drink alone. Worry, it's useless to ask for so much money, it's better to beg everyone's forgiveness.

Then the compensation would be too great. If the treasure map was sold, the price would start at at least a thousand taels of silver.

Lin Mo sat on the seat and waved at him.

"come here."

Zhang Dahai walked over, and Lin Mo pointed to the stool beside him to sit down.

"Tell me, what are you thinking? Is it because you have recognized the wrong person, that you feel ashamed to stay on the boat here, and find a reason to quit?"

Zhang Dahai shook his head, "No, brother, I have an intuition in my heart that Amin is my sister, although I don't know why she doesn't recognize me." He paused for a while. "Brother, I admit that I did some stupid things during this period, which made you and everyone else embarrassed. I didn't expect Amin to become like this, and almost hurt everyone."

Just the news he got from Amin today is enough to make him ashamed to stay on this ship.

Amin is thinking about taking this ship away. If her plan succeeds, what will happen to these brothers?

Obviously he had already felt something strange about Amin before, but he ignored it and never mentioned it to his brothers, because during that time the brothers wanted to let Amin leave the ship, so he concealed it, that is, I want to spend more time with Amin.

However, I did not expect...

With his thoughts back, Zhang Dahai continued to tell Lin Mo, "I'm sure no one will forgive me for doing such a thing. Brother, just let me go! It's good for everyone if I leave."

If Zhang Dahai hadn't taken the initiative to admit his mistake, Lin Mo might have found an opportunity to kick him out of the fleet. After all, he had become an uncertain factor on the ship, affecting the collective unity.

But after he offered to quit, Lin Mo couldn't bear it.

What's wrong with Zhang Dahai? It's just that he doesn't know people well. Didn't it cause any serious consequences in the end?

Although he thought so in his heart, with Lin Mo, he knew that forgiving Zhang Dahai was not something he could say.

After thinking about it, Lin Mo decided to call all his brothers over to deal with Zhang Dahai's resignation together.

A quarter of an hour later, the seven brothers sat around the small table in Lin Mo's room.

This way of sitting made the brothers seem to return to the past for a moment.

In the past, when their brothers got together every month, they would sit in a circle in the main room of Lin Mo's house, talking and laughing.

Everyone sighed, they didn't expect that less than half a year had passed, everything was wrong, this kind of scene probably couldn't go back.

Lin Mo put the letter with dry handwriting in an envelope and sealed it. While sealing it, he told him everything Zhang Dahai had said to him before, and then asked.

"...If you have any suggestions, please speak up."

Xiao Qi was the first to speak, and he looked at Zhang Dahai, "Brother, do you really want to leave?"

Speaking of which, after those things happened, only the heartless Xiaoqi got closer to Zhang Dahai.

Zhang Dahai held his head and peeked at the brothers, but said nothing.

If it was possible, he would naturally not want to leave, but now he couldn't stay any longer, and he didn't have the face to stay any longer.

"Xiao Qi..." Zhang Dahai was still a little moved, and at this moment, Xiao Qi was probably the only one who was reluctant to ask him to keep him.

In the next second, Xiao Qi said with a bitter face: "After that, no one will catch birds for me and roast them for me to eat?"

Zhang Dahai, who was still moved, suddenly froze.

Well, Bai was moved.

The fourth child on the side laughed lightly.

Zhang Dahai immediately glanced over, seeing the fourth child, his heart was filled with anger, he did not forget that the fourth child drugged him before to stun him.

Seeing Zhang Dahai's expression, the fourth child snorted and gave him a sidelong glance.

The other party's contemptuous expression immediately made Zhang Dahai furious, but Lin Mo glanced over, and both of them quickly withdrew their expressions, obediently bowed their heads and listened carefully.

Lin Mo put the letter aside, and then asked, "Tell me what you think."

The third child touched the stubble that had just grown under his nose and said, "Brother, the treasure map was taken out by the fifth child. If we let him go at this time, wouldn't it appear that we are overdoing it?"

Before Lin Mo could speak, Zhang Dahai hurriedly said, "Third brother, I voluntarily gave up the treasure map. Don't worry, I will definitely not tell it."

The third child didn't pay attention to the fifth child, he just said this to remind the elder brother not to forget Zhang Dahai's contribution.

Lin Mo nodded, then looked at the fourth child, "Fourth child, what do you think?"

Among the brothers, only the fourth brother had had friction with Zhang Dahai during this period of time. Don't ask about the others, but the fourth brother definitely wants to ask.

The fourth brother glanced at Zhang Dahai, and then said, "Brother, the fifth brother is just a little confused, and the big deal is to prevent him from getting some top-secret information. Can there be room for one person on our boat?"

Of course the fourth child is not stupid, but the fifth child holds the secret treasure map in his hand. Even though the other brothers have complained a bit these days, they are definitely not to the point of driving him out. opposite.

"What about you, Lao Liu?" Lin Mo looked at Lao Liu who had not spoken all this time.

Lao Liu has always had no sense of presence, so when he saw Lin Mo asking him, he said directly, "I listen to my elder brother, and I will support whatever my elder brother arranges."

Well, I gave up this vote first, and Lin Mo looked at the second child again, but before Lin Mo could speak, the second child took the initiative to say, "Brother, why don't you give Hai Hai a chance, the matter is only three, next time you are so confused, Definitely kick him out."

Zhang Dahai on the side was weeping like tears. He didn't expect that he made such a big mistake. As a brother, he was willing to speak good words for him and unanimously agreed for him to stay.

In the end, Zhang Da felt that the hideous-looking fourth child was more pleasing to the eye.

Lin Mo nodded, "I'll think about it again, you guys go away first, the second one stays."

After saying this, after everyone got up, the third child on the side suddenly asked, "Brother, there are no outsiders here. Tell me, is there anyone else on board?"

When attacking the ships on the island, a barrage of artillery fires from the ships, which anyone who is not blind can see.

They only fired one shot, and they didn't fire the rest.

It's just that those people never showed up, and the third child has always been suspicious. At this time, he finally couldn't hold back, so he asked.

Lin Mo looked at the second child, he forgot about it.

The second child hurriedly got up, "I'll invite the people out now." Not long after returning to the ship, he was busy arranging the invited Zhu Yan, and the second child never had time to invite those who were invited back. Let the gunners come out.

What's more, now that the matter has been settled, there is no need for these people to hide.

Taking advantage of the darkness, it is better to quickly transport the artillery away.

However, for his batches of artillery, the second child thought about whether he could keep the artillery, and some people also stayed temporarily to teach them how to use the artillery.

The second child went to let him go, and Lin Mo nodded in the room, "Yes, I invited the person. During dinner last night, someone sneaked up. I didn't tell you because I was afraid that the news would leak. You probably don't I know that there are people watching our ship these two days, and people followed me when I went out yesterday."

The third child heard this, and immediately asked, "Is someone following? Brother, are you all right?"

Lin Mo shook his head and said, "Those people just followed me, but they didn't hurt me. It's just..."

He thought about this and swallowed his words, but he didn't know if the address of the trade union had been leaked.

Seeing that other people still looked worried, Lin Mo persuaded: "You don't have to worry about this. They are not people who are followed by other forces. They are all sent by Wu... the leader." Lin Mo originally wanted to talk about Miss Wu. But then I thought that Wu Min's identity was changed to the leader again.

Zhang Dahai on the side looked ashamed.

Lin Mo waved his hand, "Okay, you don't have to worry about this matter. When those people come out in a while, you have to greet them well. And help sort out those cannons, and these people will probably leave later."

At this moment, the brain waves of the third child and the second child were obviously connected. He had already seen the power of those shells, so he approached Lin Mo and asked, "Brother, can we keep these shells?" If they stay, Isn't the entire East China Sea allowed to come and go?

Lin Mo had never thought about this before, and at this moment, he was a little moved when he heard what the third child said, "But I borrowed these, and I must return them."

"We'll pay for it. If we can't buy it, we'll continue to borrow it for a while longer!"

Lin Mo rubbed his chin, "In that case, I'll go and talk to someone tomorrow to see if I can keep this batch of artillery." Then he looked at the others, "In this way, hurry up and prepare wine and food, please When people eat, they must stay, and we will talk about it when I come back tomorrow."

How to keep people?Naturally, everyone had a deep understanding, and they were all gearing up. The youngest said impatiently, "Brother, then I'll get off the boat and fetch a few catties of good wine. It must be the strongest wine."

Lin Mo glanced at him, but didn't speak, obviously acquiescing!

When the third child saw it, he ran out impatiently.

The other brothers quickly caught up.

"Third brother, don't worry, I'll help you buy vegetables!"

"There's a braised meat restaurant from the south that's newly opened by the port. I'll go buy a few catties of pork head meat and white-cut chicken as an appetizer..."

In a blink of an eye, the man ran away.

Lin Mo looked at the empty room, and got up, put the letter in a box beside him, then went down the stairs and entered the cabin.

Walking to a door, he knocked on the door, and a voice came from inside, "Please come in."

Lin Mo pushed open the door and went in, and saw Zhu Yan sitting on the bedside leaning against a book, and a candle was burning on the table next to him.

Naturally, there was a candle in the room, which looked a little dim, and the orange light was reflected on Zhu Yan's face, making his complexion no longer so pale.

Although Lin Mo said that he wanted to recruit people, he didn't bring them on board immediately after he was recruited. Instead, he asked people to come back in a few days.

Naturally, as a "hostage" in name, Zhu Yan would definitely take it with him, but Lin Mo did not lose him by arranging a good room for him.

There is a boiler in this room, so it is naturally not cold, and his whereabouts are not restrained, so he can walk around on the boat as he pleases.

No, in order to avoid misunderstanding, Zhu Yan stayed in his room honestly after boarding the ship, reading the books he brought all the time.

Lin Mo glanced at it, and most of them were medical books.

There is a saying that is good, if you are not a good look, you are a good doctor. In the earliest days, most of the famous doctors were actually transformed by scholars, and some of them were sick themselves and specialized in medical skills. Over time, their medical skills developed unconsciously. improved.

Although Lin Mo didn't know if Zhu Yan knew medical skills, he thought he could at least understand a little bit.

Seeing Lin Mo coming in, Zhu Yan put down the book and kept looking at him.

Lin Mo asked first, "Is there anything you're missing? If you're missing something, tell me and I'll get someone to arrange it for you."

Zhu Yan shook his head, "There is nothing missing, not to mention you won't be here for long, when do you plan to send me away?" The two had a deal in private, Lin Mo sent Zhu Yan to see a doctor, and Zhu Yan would be his honestly "hostage".

Of course, Lin Mo didn't expect him to be a hostage for too long, he only planned that the group of crew members who were about to bring could be honest before sailing.

After leaving, in the deep sea, he will naturally train those people.

As for why Zhu Yan was willing to be this hostage, it was because he was tired of staying there, Lin Mo's boat came, and it happened that he just took the opportunity to get rid of the responsibilities on him.

Even if he went to some kind of medical school, it didn't matter if he couldn't cure his illness. He only hoped that in the limited time, he could take a look at this great river, the river that his ancestors once ruled.

Lin Mo handed over the small box in his hand, "Tomorrow I will ask to see if there is any boat on the way in the inland river, and if so, I will arrange for someone to take you there. There is a letter in this box, waiting for you to arrive at the hospital. Please send this letter to my Uncle Lin Yang, and he will make arrangements for you."

As for the medical expenses that Zhu Yan handed over to him, Lin Mo intends to pay only 5000 taels, and he will withhold the remaining 5000 taels first. The imperial court is planning to vigorously develop the trade with Japan. If it is done well, there will be 5000 taels of principal It can be doubled, and the remaining 5000 taels can be used later.

Calculated in this way, he can earn 5000 taels for free at once. With 5000 taels, he can buy another ship, expand the size of the fleet, and fill up all the previous arrears.

Thinking of the vain money, Lin Mo felt the benefits of being well-informed. With the news, the money was just like picking up for nothing.

Running around like other people hitting a wall, but it's their turn to be well-informed to find a way, and it's so easy to make money.

What method did Lin Mo find to make money?

Then we have to talk about it from the trade union.

A shipyard on the side of the trade union announced a news that it would mobilize some ships from the private sector to help the imperial court transport goods to Dongyang trade.

During this period, the fleet can be allowed to carry part of its own cargo.

How to put it this way, if Lin Mo ran by himself, even if he ran for 5000 taels of goods, he would not earn much if he wanted to.

Why?

That's because the trading channels with Dongyang are all controlled by big families. Why do you think the previous dynasty wanted to ban the sea? It's because some people don't want to share the fat of ocean trade with others.

The only ones who are banned from the sea are the incompetent and some fishermen on the seashore. Those people with great supernatural powers, they can run without fail, and they are very rich.

And some officials who advocate the harm of opening the sea ban are also beneficiaries, and naturally they don't want others to grab the fat in the pot with them.

Eating alone is not the same as eating in a big pot. In addition, the Japanese pirates were rampant in the previous dynasty, and the voice of the sea ban became louder, which made some people want it.

It's a pity that once the sea is banned, the exploration of the sea in the Central Plains will be impossible. After a long time, the group of people who eat alone will struggle alone, and there will be opponents of pirates outside.

After a long time, that piece of fat was directly snatched by outsiders.

Those main trade channels are also in the hands of others. This is why the court sponsors these talents and they have to let go. However, without channels, they still can’t make much money. Lin Mo intends to go back and forth before going on a treasure hunt to earn some extra money. A ship can also be at sea, if there are not two ships, they can take care of each other.

As for asking him why he didn’t rush out, he’s not that stupid. His map is located on land, and the sailing route has to be explored by the first troops. He will follow the route after the route is mature. One month and two months.

Such a long time is enough for him to travel to Japan and earn a fortune in exchange for shotguns.
