Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 220: At : pm, thunder roars, and the dragon appears

Wadiye opened his arms with a big smile on his face, and walked towards Pu Yama, saying with a smile:
"Brother Pu Yama, this is my first time aboard your 'Bailekai'. It is truly magnificent and unrivaled."

Before Wadiye could finish his words, a hand reached out from behind him and touched his shoulder.

Fortunately, the steps were wide enough and there were people standing on both sides, so although Wadiye stumbled, he did not fall into the water.

Yang Yuan looked around and flashed out from behind: "Hey, you really don't want to sell your female slaves? There are red-haired ones, blue-haired ones, green-haired ones, oh, there's even a blonde one..."

Yang Yuan stopped in front of the Frank girl and looked at her with lustful eyes.

The blonde woman lowered her blue eyes slightly and took a step back timidly.

Yang Yuan shouted, "How much is it? You name a price. Once we go out to sea, I will be the one who decides everything for our family!"

fart!
Leng Yuchan caught up from behind and when she heard this, she cursed in her heart: "He didn't even give me thirty-six cents for a meal, and now he comes here to spend a fortune!"

She felt a little cramped now. If she had not remained rational, her long legs would have been lifted up uncontrollably and kicked Yang Yuan onto the mast.

There was a flash of anger in Pu Yama's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

In his eyes, this arrogant and ignorant "Second Young Master of the Li Family" would soon be a dead man.

How could he treat the dead as equals?

“Haha, Second Young Master, if you really like them, it’s not impossible to discuss it.

However, I, Lao Pu, brought them here from far away places, across the ocean, so this price..."

"Something can be discussed!"

The "Second Young Master of the Li Family" smiled happily: "Don't worry, I have saved up a lot of New Year's money, hahahaha, I can afford one thousand strings of cash."

Pu Yama smiled and said, "I know that in Lin'an, a beautiful maid can earn at most a little over a thousand strings of cash.

But as I said, they are shipped from far away, and the price is at least five times higher."

"Ah? It's so expensive, are you kidding me?"

Pu Yama didn't understand what "Lao Deng" meant, but it didn't sound like a good word, maybe it was the Lin'an dialect?

Pu Yama said with a wry smile: "Things are valuable because they are rare. Your country's silk, tea and porcelain have crossed the ocean and arrived in our country. Their value has increased by more than ten times."

"Makes sense!"

The "Second Young Master of the Li Family" looked like he couldn't come up with so much money because he wasn't the head of the family yet, but he was too proud to admit it.

"Well, I understand. Let me figure out how many to buy, and we'll talk on the way to Quanzhou."

Since the escorts boarded the ship under the pretext of being small traders renting a large merchant ship to transport goods, they could not go ashore and return immediately after completing the handover with the smugglers at sea, as that would arouse too much suspicion.

Therefore, after the "Second Young Master of the Li Family" transferred the smuggled goods at sea, he had to go to Quanzhou with the ship, show up there, and then return to Lin'an, thus completing the entire "laundering" process.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Li is a straightforward person. Let's talk about it on the way. Maybe I can give you a discount, hahaha..."

Pu Yama agreed readily, ordered people to take Yang Yuan and his personal maid onto the boat, and then went to meet Wadiye.

"This second young master of the Li family is really disgusting!"

Wadiye looked angrily at the "Second Young Master of the Li Family" as he acted frivolously along the way, with his hips twisting in a disgusting manner, and said hatefully.

Pu Yama took his arm, walked side by side to the boat, and said with a smile: "Brother Wadiye, why bother with a dying man?
Your cabin is located opposite me. It is the most luxurious place on the ship. Come on, I will take you to have a look."

Yang Yuan was taken to his residence, a cabin on the second floor. The cabin was spacious and had a porthole with a curtain.

The bedroom is divided into two rooms, the inner room is larger and the outer room is smaller, but to enter the inner room you have to pass through the outer room first.

The outer cabin is very small, so small that it can only accommodate one person and is so narrow that it is difficult to turn over.

If you want to enter this small cabin, you have to take off your shoes outside and climb directly onto the low bed after entering the door.

The small cabin had no windows, and therefore no door.

Otherwise, once the hatch is closed, it would be suffocating.

This was obviously prepared for slaves to serve their masters.

Leng Yuchan followed into the cabin and said teasingly, "Second Young Master is still lustful and still thinking about buying someone else's female slave?"

Yang Yuan pulled open the curtain, pushed open the porthole to look outside, then closed it again and said to Leng Yuchan:

"This way, I'll have an excuse to pester that old man. Maybe... I can catch the thief first."

Leng Yuchan sneered. She believed that Yang Yuan was indeed pretending, but he might be sincere.

Yang Yuan threw himself onto the couch and sighed comfortably: "If it's a cabin like this, I can endure traveling on the sea for several months..."

Leng Yuchan looked around and asked, "Where should I sleep?"

Of course, Miss Leng saw that small cabin.

But she didn't think it was a cabin where people could live, she thought it was a storage room.

The Song Dynasty had servants, but no slaves.

No matter how poor the servants' living and eating conditions were, they would not be so harsh.

What's more, can Leng Yuchan's "servant" be called a "servant"?

So in her opinion, she would never consider a place that was so crowded even to tie a dog as a place for people to live.

"Uh……"

Yang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and did not point out that the "storage room" she had just entered was her bedroom.

Yang Yuan thought about it, swung his body, and slid halfway into the bed: "The other half outside is for you?"

"whispering sound!"

Yang Yuan swung his body again and slid halfway out of the bed: "Then the other half of the bed is for you?"

Leng Yuchan said word by word: "I sleep on the floor!"

"Okay!" Yang Yuan smiled and spread out his limbs, lying on the couch with his arms and legs spread out, sighing comfortably.

Leng Yuchan looked at his irritating look and her long legs felt like cramping again.

……

In the dock storage area, more than twenty men dressed as porters were sitting or standing scattered around.

Suddenly, Cui Xianyun, dressed in a Confucian robe, walked out of the warehouse, and the porters waiting outside immediately stood up.

Cui Xianyun glanced at them and said, “This time, the cargo shipped out to sea will be more than the previous times.

Even though it is a road you are familiar with, don't be careless.

In addition, after the delivery of the goods this time, we will have to stop for a while..."

Following Pu Yama's advice, Cui Xianyun had contacted two Arab merchants who had lived in Lin'an for a long time.

However, under the two tycoons Pu Yama and Wadiye, the scale of the fleets of these two Arab merchants has never been able to develop, and now they do not have the ability to help him smuggle bulk goods.

It now seems that he still has to wait for the cunning old fox Pu Yama to gain a foothold in Quanzhou before he can free up his hands to support the agent in Lin'an Fanfang.

Shanyin had ordered a large amount of goods in advance, and they were still being shipped to Lin'an.

Fortunately, it is not fresh fruit with a short shelf life, so there is no need to worry about storing it for a while.

Cui Xianyun said: "So, this time, you don't have to rush back.

You can take the boat to Shuangyu Island to have some fun for a while, and then return through the original secret channel after ten days."

As soon as these words came out, more than twenty big men immediately became excited.

On Shuangyu Island, you can drink as much wine as you want, and you can enjoy the coquettish Japanese women at will. However, for those who live on the island for a long time, life on the island is extremely boring.

But for them, it is undoubtedly a long holiday of indulgence and happiness.

"Yes, Cui Mouke, don't worry!" More than twenty big men answered with a smile.

At this time, the Jin Kingdom was constantly learning and transforming the various systems of the Central Plains dynasties and was in a period of transition.

Therefore, the current Jin Kingdom not only has the same prefecture and county bureaucracy system as the Song Kingdom, but also has the original "Meng'an Mouke" system.

Meng'an Mouke was a system that integrated military and political power within the Jurchens.

Originally, Meng'an referred to the tribal leader, and Mouke was the clan leader.

They led the Jurchen people under their command to produce in peacetime and fight in wartime.

Today, Meng'an refers to a thousand-man captain, and Mouke refers to a hundred-man captain. They are still both military commanders and administrative commanders. They still farm when they have nothing to do and fight when they have something to do.

And Cui Xianyun was obviously a centurion of Wanyan Yong's faction.

Cui Xianyun nodded and waved his hand, saying, "Go!"

More than twenty big men, each carrying a piece of cargo as a cover, walked towards the direction of the "Balekai".

……

Brother Ya arranged Xu Danian and others to study and observe on several boats of the Japanese and Kunlun people.

He, Hojo Daisho and Kuntai boarded the big ship that was redeemed from the shipyard by Luxi.

This large ship was just an ordinary merchant ship in Pu Yama's fleet.

But for their tattered fleet, it was the best ship.

The ship was also equipped with the Chinese ship's stern rudder, compass, multiple masts, and watertight compartment technology. It was fifteen meters long and about three meters wide.

The "fire chief" of this ship was called Gai. As soon as Gai got on board, he ran around barefoot, touching here and kissing there, constantly making exaggerated gestures and shouting "Shabai, Shabai!"

Duck Brother asked Kuntai in confusion: "What is he shouting?"

Luxi has already made clear to them the future division of labor in the fleet.

Ya Ge is the leader of the caravan, Hojo Daisho is responsible for the armed protection of the entire caravan, and Kun Tai is responsible for the specific business contacts with local merchants.

Therefore, Kuntai was very respectful to his immediate superior: "Ah, Master Huo, you are calling for his boat, which is called 'Shabai'."

Duck Brother asked in confusion: "What does Shabai mean?"

Kuntai smiled and said, "It means comfortable."

Brother Ya frowned: "Your boat name, Ping An, Ji Xiang, Fa Cai, Wei Feng, all are fine, but... Comfortable? Can you guys be a little more ambitious?"

Kuntai laughed dryly and said, "Perhaps the captain feels that peace, good fortune and great wealth will naturally make him feel comfortable."

Brother Ya shook his head and ordered as he walked: "After we get the big ship, all the ships in the fleet will be renumbered and renamed."

Kuntai trotted after him and said, "Yes, yes, what should we name our boat?"

Duck Brother said unhappily: "Change it to 'so comfortable'!"

Hojo Daisho held the knife and followed them steadily, listening to their conversation with a smile on his lips.

He felt that it was pretty good to be friends with two such people on the same boat. At least such a life would not be lonely.

……

The ships that are ready to go out to sea have all their tickets checked and verified.

There are checkpoints along the way, especially the Quanzhou Maritime Customs, which is the last checkpoint before going out to sea.

Therefore, as Lin'an is the starting point for these merchant ships to go out to sea, the inspection is not particularly strict.

At seven quarters past noon, drums sounded and the gates of Jiandu were opened.

Ships loaded with cargo left the dock.

They slowly unfolded above the river and slowly extended out, as if a dragon awakening, slowly stretching its body and sticking out its dragon head!
