I'm a pirate at the end of Ming Dynasty

At the same time, Zheng Zhipeng, who had returned to the inland and set foot on the land, did not go straight to Jiulian Mountain for the first time. Instead, he stopped in Quanzhou and led the people to greet him here, but he was supposed to stay in Hangzhou. Yang Xu.

When the two met, Zheng Zhipeng hugged him affectionately first and said with a smile: "Xiao Yang Xu, you have helped me a lot this time. Is General Qin here?"

"General Qin was ill and couldn't come in person, but her son, General Ma Xianglin, came and specially prepared a generous gift. Please don't be surprised, Fourth Master."

Zheng Zhipeng heard this and asked, "General Qin is feeling ill?"

He turned his head and told Shang Kexi: "Do you have any good Korean ginseng in your hand?"

Shang Kexi was stunned for a moment and then immediately came to his senses and said: "I'll go and ask. The brothers must have it. Korean ginseng is not a rare thing in our army."

After that, Shang Kexi left. As expected, after a while, he took two Korean ginseng that were bigger than white radish, but they were wrapped in torn rags. They were dirty. Zheng Zhipeng couldn't help seeing this. Feeling disgusted, he took out the overseas treasures he had prepared and handed them to Yang Xu, put two Korean ginseng in, and then said: "Let's go."

After entering the city, under the arrangement and recommendation of Yang Xu, I walked to a quite artistic brothel. I saw that the building had already been cleared, and there were two rows of girls waiting at the door. I couldn't help but see this. He frowned.

"You arranged this place, right?"

"Yes, Fourth Master, what...what happened?"

"Oh~ With your style, can't you read books and learn? Look at this place you are looking for. You have a taste for getting rich in the market. If you really want to do big business in the future, no one will pay attention to you because of your taste. , let me remind you, although things like poems, songs, and poems are useless, people with real status and status these days like these. In fact, you don’t need to learn more to understand them, as long as you can talk about them. "

Yang Xu nodded quickly and kept it in mind.

However, Zheng Zhipeng was soon slapped in the face. As soon as he walked in, he saw the real host he was going to entertain today, lying in a pile of makeup and powder among a group of orioles, kissing here and there, touching here and there, so romantic and happy. In particular, this person is as tall and strong as a bear, but he wears a silk gown, has a full face of beard, and is blind in one eye. In addition, his appearance at this time really makes him... look like a villain in a TV series. .

"But is General Ma of the Baigan Army in person? I, Zheng Zhipeng, have met General Ma and asked General Ma to take care of General Qin for me."

That person was naturally Ma Xianglin. When he saw Zheng Zhipeng, he was quite confused. He immediately sat upright and straightened his clothes a little. He smiled awkwardly and honestly, and said straightforwardly: "Fuck you, you are a rude person." , I have no culture, I waited for you for seven or eight days, I still pretended at first, but then I couldn’t pretend anymore.”

Zheng Zhipeng smiled, sat next to him, took out the Korean ginseng and said, "I heard that General Qin is ill. This is my sincere thought. I must ask General Qin to take care of himself. I will definitely pay him a visit if I have the opportunity in the future."

Ma Xianglin quickly took it with both hands, accepted it and said: "Fourth Master is interested, I will thank you on behalf of my mother."

Zheng Zhipeng sat down and said, "I heard Xiao Yang Xu tell me that you want to cooperate with my Zheng family?"

"Yes, I heard that Fourth Master is building a large shipyard in Ningbo that is not inferior to the Nanjing Shipyard. The amount of camphor wood must be huge. As the saying goes, pine has been exposed to the sun for thousands of years, and camphor has been soaked in water for thousands of years. In this world Zhangmu, if we in Sichuan and Shu are ranked second, no one would dare to be ranked first."

Zheng Zhipeng felt funny when he heard this. In this world, camphor wood is not only found in Sichuan and Sichuan. If it is imported from Southeast Asia by sea, it is actually much cheaper than coming from the mountains of Sichuan and Shu. What's more, there are not enough good wood on the treasure island. What?

However, when Zheng Zhipeng got off the boat, he didn't even return home but wanted to see him first. Was it because he wanted to buy a few pieces of wood?Again, the Zheng family is not short of money!Problems that can be solved with money are not problems at all for the Zheng family, so he said: "It is true, I am also worried about the lack of good camphor wood. Tell me, at what price, as much as we, the Zheng family, need." "

Ma Xianglin was overjoyed and said: "Most of the nanmu we transport from Sichuan and Sichuan is made into coffins. The material is far inferior to the big trees used for making boats. The best nanmu can be sold for seven or eighty taels." One, my mother means that she wants to make friends with the Zheng family, so as a friendly price, the big nanmu used for shipbuilding is 80 taels per tree, and I will be responsible for transporting it to Xiangyang for you, how about it?"

Zheng Zhipeng frowned and said, "50 taels per tree? Isn't that appropriate?"

"That……"

Ma Xianglin gritted his teeth: "If you want a large quantity, forty! It can't go any lower."

Zheng Zhipeng said, "I mean, our Zheng family is upright and we rely on the word righteousness. Since we are making friends, how can we let our friends suffer? You also said that the wood used to make coffins costs seven in the Central Plains. 80 taels per tree. Those who make boats must cost more than 100 taels. Of course, we wholesale, and you should really get it cheaper. In this way, I will take advantage of you. For 100 taels per tree, you can transport it by water for me. A little good or a big one, okay?"

Ma Xianglin was overjoyed when he heard this. Of course he knew that the Zheng family was giving money to him. He was so excited that he quickly picked up the wine and said, "Okay! Everyone in the world says that the Fourth Master is the most righteous person. Today, When we meet, we are not as famous as when we meet, and when we meet, we are even more famous. I can’t speak, so I drank this bowl of wine.”

After saying that, Ma Xianglin drank it all in one gulp, then poured another bowl and said, "I will honor you with this bowl on behalf of my mother."

Hearing this, Zheng Zhipeng quickly filled his own bowl, and Yang Xu hurriedly followed, saying that he didn't dare. At this point, both the host and the guest were very happy.

"In fact, Yizhou has been a land of abundance since ancient times and has abundant products. In addition to this camphor tree, there are many places where we can cooperate."

"Oh? Like?"

"There are many things that can be compared. For example, this is called snow pea. It is most suitable for mountain farming. The yield is several times higher than that of rice. After General Ma returns, he can plant it among the tribe. We will provide the seeds, such as iron. Sichuan and Sichuan have the richest iron mines. It is not difficult to mine and there is no shortage of craftsmen. How about we cooperate with another gun factory? We provide the money, technology and gunpowder, and you produce the iron and work. The things we make are more expensive than mine. My family will share half of it, if your army wants to sell it, you can sell it back to me at a high price, how about that?"
