Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 361: Crossing the Sea by Boat (Additional chapter for JJM leader)

At dusk, Hakata Pier is just like the New Year, with people returning home with full loads, looking jubilant.

Captain Gai and Captain Kao dragged their tired bodies and enthusiastically directed the sailors to make the final sorting of supplies.

Their two ships, the "Shabai" and the "Sabaidi", one was a sea ship they already owned, and the other was a large sea ship belonging to the Arab merchant Pu Yama.

These two ships had secret mezzanines that could carry a lot of cargo.

There are now more than a hundred large ships at the dock, all preparing to leave Hakata and return to Song Dynasty early tomorrow morning.

With so many ships, it is conceivable that the Maritime Customs of the Song Dynasty would not be able to inspect them too carefully because the workload would be too heavy.

At the same time, Yang Yuan’s two large ships had secret smuggling layers, so there was no need to worry about encountering trouble when passing customs with his huge wealth.

All merchant ships have spoken with one voice: a fierce battle broke out between the armed forces of Japan's Hakata temples and shrines and the armed forces of the samurai Taira no Kiyomori, and the overseas Chinese of the Great Song Dynasty took all their property and returned to their country for refuge.

In this way, they have a huge amount of wealth, who dares to say it is unreasonable?
Therefore, Yang Yuan arranged two ships to fill the mezzanine cabins with the large ingots of gold and silver seized from temples and shrines.

If there is any left, it doesn't matter if you put it on the mezzanine with the other treasures.

He did this just to avoid attracting too much attention, not to evade paying taxes.

It can be imagined that when these hundreds of ships loaded with wealth returned to the Song Dynasty, the tax alone would immediately bring in more than 50 million strings of cash to the Song Dynasty's treasury, which was more than % of the Song Dynasty's total fiscal revenue for one year.

However, I believe that all the leaders would have no objection to this. After all, even after paying such high taxes, their wealth more than doubled in one day.

These temples, shrines and nobles that have existed for at least a few hundred years are really rich!

"Uncle Ji, Uncle Gou, the two of you should each take a boat back to the Song Dynasty."

Yang Yuan was making personnel arrangements.

Money is a powerful thing. To transport such a huge fortune, there must be someone who is absolutely trustworthy to escort the ship.

Uncle Ji asked doubtfully, "Aren't you going with us?"

Yang Yuan shook his head and said, "I haven't finished my work yet, and I haven't arranged how Wang Changsheng and Kuntai will go back yet, so I'll stay here first."

Uncle Gou frowned and said, "Xiao Yang, it's too dangerous for you to stay in Japan alone, isn't it?"

Yang Yuan said: "It's okay, I'll bring Mikami Chiya with me, and I also have Fujiwara Himeka as the god, so there shouldn't be any problem with safety."

Yang Yuan finally convinced the two of them after much persuasion, and then went to find Fujiwara Himeka.

Fujiwara Himeka was sulking in the cabin.

Just now on the deck, she saw with her own eyes Yang Yuan handing her "confession" to a fat old man and asking him to take it back to Song State.

Once this "confession" is published, she will no longer have a place in Japan.

The Fujiwara family and the Kamimura family will also issue a "gangster hunting order" against her.

By then she would become the most interesting prey of all ronin and ninjas, so she had to take back the "confession" and destroy it with her own hands to feel at ease.

However, this "confession" is now being taken back to the State of Song by the fat old man.

Fujiwara Himeka had no confidence at all that she could steal the "confession" from this fat old man.

When attacking "Dashan Temple", she witnessed the fat old man's terrifying skills with her own eyes.

Now she had no other choice but to follow Yang Yuan's request and wait for Hua Yin and Xiao Nai to successfully complete the task assigned to them by Yang Yuan in exchange for her leverage.

So, if she wanted to get the confession back, she just had to complete the task assigned to them by Yang Yuan.

So why did she want to put herself, Kanon, and Kona's bodies into this?
Fujiwara no Himeka was very upset about this, and the more she thought about it, the more upset she became.

Even though during that process, she experienced the ultimate happiness that she had never felt before, she still felt annoyed.

When he decided to use the beauty trap to paralyze Yang Yuan, he was just a businessman who was murdered for his money!

How could Fujiwara Himeka have imagined that things would turn out like this!
In just three days, Hanane and Xiaonai were sent to apply to be killers in Song Dynasty, and Boduo was completely changed.

The local temples, shrines, and noble families suffered a devastating blow. Not only was Yang Yuan's ship about to return home, it also took away all the big merchants in Hakata.

Fujiwara Himeka was feeling annoyed when Yang Yuan leisurely walked into her cabin.

"Ji Xiang, you have been doing business in Hakata for many years, so you should be able to get one or two sea vessels, right?"

Fujiwara Himeka replied unhappily, "Why, the wealth looted by Sanyuanjun is no longer enough to fit into two ships this big?"

"That's not the case." Yang Yuan didn't take it as an offense and sat on her couch naturally.

"I need a boat waiting near the dock. Once you and I are sure that at least one of Hanane and Xiaonai is chosen by Xiaoye Mingxi, we will return to Song Dynasty immediately.

At the same time, we need to prepare another boat to pick up Master Wang and Kuntai and the others. "

Fujiwara Himeka said angrily: "I am now a dead man who cannot see the light of day. How can I get a ship? I can't even get a sampan."

"how can that be possible."

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "I don't believe that you only have Hua Yin and Xiao Nai as your confidants, nor do I believe that your lair is only the Whale Sea Palace. Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows."

"I really have no choice!" Ji Xiang turned her face away.

Yang Yuan stretched out his arms, grabbed Fujiwara Himeka's slender waist, and held her in his arms.

Yang Yuan whispered in her ear: "I still like your unruly look at the beginning. The coquettish and silly little woman look doesn't suit you very well. Can you recover a little?"

Fujiwara Himeka's breath blew on her ears, and she suddenly felt an indescribable heat. She straightened her waist and tried to break free, but the big hand on her waist tightened and made her sit even tighter.

Fujiwara Himeka was both angry and embarrassed, but she suddenly changed her mind and had an idea.

Fujiwara Himeka quickly turned around, straddled Yang Yuan's legs, put her arms around his neck, and said excitedly:

“Hakata’s temples and shrines have been badly damaged, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

If you are willing to support me, I will arrange for people to quickly infiltrate and control the entire Hakata, and then we will go to Taira no Kiyomori and seek cooperation with him, and we will obtain endless wealth. "

Yang Yuan refused without even thinking about it.

Given the objective conditions of that era, it was impossible for him to be able to control the huge overseas interests. That would only be a way for Fujiwara no Himeka to gain favor.

Fujiwara Himeka was not depressed after being rejected. Instead, her eyes became brighter: "Aren't you tempted by such a huge fortune? If you don't want to make money, do you want to benefit the country?"

Yang Yuan immediately became alert: "Why do you say that?"

Fujiwara Himeka said smilingly: "Sanyuan Jun, although I am not sure of your true identity, I know that you are not a businessman.

There is no conflict of interest between you and me. What I want is the power and status of Japan. The two of us can cooperate completely. "

Yang Yuan laughed and said, "Seeking power and status in Japan? You have great ambitions."

Fujiwara Himeka said confidently: "I have ambition because there is an opportunity.

Our place is in great chaos now. In the imperial family, Emperor Toba and Emperor Sutoku each have their own thoughts, and Emperor Konoe is being bullied by both sides.

The Minamoto clan and the Heishi clan of the samurai family were fighting openly and secretly, but Taira Tadamasa of the Heishi clan had colluded with Minamoto Tameyoshi of the Minamoto clan, and Minamoto Yoshitomo of the Minamoto clan was secretly communicating with Taira Kiyomori of the Heishi clan.

Although the Gong family is declining, it still has a strong foundation. If a Gong family member emerges at this time, he will definitely be able to integrate the power of the Gongqing and fight for the world again."

Yang Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "But what good will it do me?"

Fujiwara Himeka thought she had convinced him, and said excitedly: "I am a woman and can only stay behind the scenes. I need a man to stand in front of me.

I can find a way to give you a noble birth, so that you can become the man standing in front of me. Together we can conquer the world and rule the world together."

Yang Yuan said, "Ms. Ji Xiang, you were unwilling to accept the fact that you had the chance to become the queen, but your chance was taken away by Fujiwara Tako, the adopted daughter of the Fujiwara family whose bloodline is not as pure as yours?"

Fujiwara Himeka was immediately furious: "Damn it! What did that idiot Xiaonai say to you?"

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "She said this to me just to arouse my sympathy for you. Don't misunderstand her good intentions."

Fujiwara Himeka gritted her teeth and said helplessly: "Okay, I admit it, I just can't accept it!

I am obviously better than her in every aspect, why should she put herself on my head? I must prove it to her!"

Yang Yuan shook his head and said, "Women's jealousy is really terrible.

However, you have been demoted to Hakata for more than four years, but you haven't even built a Whale Sea Temple.

Are you sure you can control Hakata, are you sure you can negotiate with Taira no Kiyomori who holds military power, are you sure you can plot against the whole of Japan?"

Fujiwara no Himeka was so angry at his blunt words that her face turned red.

Yang Yuan added: "Besides, what good would it be even if I became the queen?

I heard that Emperor Toba had been in poor health since childhood. He might die tomorrow.

By then, the fertile queen whom you envy will become a widow.

Besides, the former emperor and the French emperor hold great power, and she, a former queen, can get nothing. What is there for you to fight for?"

Yang Yuan was not interested in the big picture that Fujiwara Himeka had painted.

She has been in Hakata for more than four years, but she has not even been able to deal with the Kamimura family, the hereditary priest of Miyi. This shows how overambitious she is.

There can be genius in many areas, except politics.

Experience is a necessary step, but Ji Xiang, a lady from a noble family, has never had such experience.

She wishful thinking that if she could get help from the Song State, she would be able to cheat. This was certainly influenced by the traditional impression of the Japanese people that Middle-earth is always powerful, but wasn't it also her naivety?

Yang Yuan said: "If you are so interested in controlling the fate of others, I can give you a chance in the future."

Fujiwara Himeka immediately asked, "What opportunity?"

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "We'll talk about it later. For now, please help me get two boats."

Fujiwara Himeka immediately turned her face away: "No."

Yang Yuan raised his arm, and Fujiwara Himeka, who weighed only a little over 90 pounds, was pressed down on the table by him: "Really?"

Fujiwara Himeka said categorically: "Really not!"

Yang Yuan sighed and said, "Then there is no other way. Without a boat, I can't go by water. Then I can only go back by land."

Fujiwara Himeka was surprised. Going back by land? Do you have the ability to separate the sea water?

But... she immediately understood what Yang Yuan meant.

The voice of the stubborn girl Ji Xiang begging for mercy came from the cabin: "Yes, yes, I have a boat, I have a boat, you should go by water, ah~ I'm going to kill you, bastard!"
