Chapter 895： times

But this time, the plan to study ink failed.

Qi Haoran felt that he couldn't tell his wife to look down on his brother, so he tried his best to excuse him, "Those pirates often lie like this, Zijin is scheming, but he's walking the right way, so naturally he can't figure them out."

Mu Yangling was still thinking about how to let Fan Zijin get a foot in the sea trade.

As long as Fan Zijin intervenes in maritime trade, Qi Haoran will definitely be reluctant to let him suffer grievances. If we don't talk about eliminating pirates at that time, this coast will definitely be reopened.

For the safety of the goods, the merchants not only actively cooperated with the imperial court's policy of suppressing bandits, but some even hired people to suppress bandits, which made the fishermen along the coast safer and more livelihoods.

And only business and interests will make them go further and further, so that China will not fall behind the West. Now, with Daqi's national strength and productivity, they are still at the forefront of the world, and they don't have to chase others, even if it is slowly. Go, they are also ahead of many countries, as long as they don't stop.

So no one thought of trying to persuade Fan Zijin to turn back and stop taking care of sea trade.

That night, Fan Zijin slept soundly after being tired, Qi Haoran also slept soundly with Mu Yangling in his arms, only the soldiers patrolling back and forth and the worried Zhou Zhou still kept their eyes open, while in the other boat, the Zhou family members Also awake all night.

They were no longer worried about being indicted at this time, but they were worried that Fan Zijin would boycott Haimao after this incident, after all, his life was almost lost.

Zhou De held his head angrily and said, "I knew earlier that I wouldn't propose a trial ship. Master Fan was already interested in sea trade. Although Xu Xutuzhi was a little slow, he was steady, and he wouldn't lose everything as he is now. ."

"Father, we may not have no chance. This time, Prince Rong personally led the troops. He must have seen the weakness of the sea division. Didn't he say that he was a **** man? He could bear to be bullied by pirates like this?"

"Yes, father, if not, let's invite them to see what life those fishermen lived after the sea was banned..."

"Nonsense," Zhou De reprimanded, "Are you trying to offend the entire Guangdong officialdom?"

Yu Cheng even kept it from Fan Zijin. If they led Rong Jun Wang to see those people, they would definitely become the enemies of the entire officialdom in Guangdong, and their family would have to survive in Guangdong.

Although this ship may be wasted, Zhou De's heart is bleeding, but it is impossible to really offend so many people. Who knows whether King Rong will protect them in the future, and how long.

But the Zhou family was obviously worried, because as soon as they got ashore, Fan Zijin said to Qi Haoran: "You can take the gold and silver jewelry on the ship, leave the goods to me, and I will convert the price to you. Goods, this batch can last for a while."

Zhou De got excited and asked, "Master Fan, are you still willing to do sea trade business?"

Fan Zijin rolled his eyes and said, "Master almost lost his life. If you don't do sea trade, is it possible that this crime will be for nothing?"

Zhou De then deeply realized that people have different ideas. There are those soft guys in Guangdong officialdom, and naturally there are also people like Wang Ye and Guo Gongye.

Fan Zijin didn't know that he got such a high rating from Zhou De. He instructed Qi Haoran earnestly, "The people from the Hai Shi should be careful when they move things, and they must be asked to send the goods to my warehouse in good condition."

Qi Haoran waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Lord tell them, if anyone breaks things and divides the spoils, he won't have a share."

Fan Zijin rolled his eyes at him and didn't correct his words. He glanced at Yu Cheng and the others who were running towards him in embarrassment. He supported Yanmo's hand on the carriage, threw down the curtain, and said, "Go back to the house."

Yan Mo bowed to Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling, climbed into the carriage, turned a blind eye to Yu Cheng who arrived, and took the carriage away.

Yu Cheng watched the carriage go away, turned his head and saluted the princess and asked, "My lord, how is Mr. Fan?"

Qi Haoran opened his eyes insincerely and said nonsense: "Master Fan was injured and frightened. It's not appropriate to see people at this time. Yu Zhizhou should go back."

Yu Cheng caught a glimpse of what everyone had brought down from the boat out of the corner of his eye. He hesitated for a while, but still didn't dare to ask where it came from.

Soon, the soldiers pressed down more than 400 prisoners, and he opened his mouth.

Qi Haoran waved his hand and said: "These people are temporarily held in the dungeon of the government office, under the supervision of the sea master."

Yu Cheng wanted to say that this was unreasonable, but after seeing Qi Haoran's gaze, thinking about the threat he made before he left, he hurriedly smiled and said, "I'll arrange it now."

Qi Haoran waved at him, turned around and said to Mu Yangling: "A-Ling, you go back to rest first, and let them move things to Zijin's place, we don't live in the mansion anymore."

Mu Yangling nodded slightly and brought four guards back.

The three foreigners who were "guides" kept watching the princess leave, and Qi Haoran turned around to see them staring at A Ling, and immediately blocked their eyes with displeasure, and asked with a smile on his face, "How many If it's all right, go back, and I'll have someone clean the things on the boat and return them to you."

The three of them were about to speak, when Qi Haoran said again: "But you'd better not leave the port recently. Whether you colluded with the pirates has not been investigated yet."

The expressions of the three suddenly changed, and they nodded and left.

Qi Haoran snorted coldly when he saw that they were far away. In his opinion, Zijin wouldn't have gone to sea if it wasn't for these foreigners raising prices indiscriminately, so most of this was to blame. These foreigners.

Originally, he planned that if Zijin couldn't be found, he would throw these people into the sea to feed the fish and be buried with Zijin, but now that the people are all right, he naturally won't kill them again, but that doesn't mean he will let them go. .

Do business in their Daqi, but raise the price at will, what do you think of their Daqi?

Just when they are gone?

Qi Haoran instructed Zhou Zhou, "Tell me to keep an eye on them, don't tell them to run away, and also, send your confidants to guard the prisoners, and no one is allowed to send them news without my order, let alone see them. They, those who violate the order will be punished with the crime of collaborating with the enemy."

Zhou Zhou froze and responded.

Qi Haoran added: "Report the list of the fallen soldiers. This time, I paid a lot of gold and silver, and the pension is thicker. The injured will also increase the pension as appropriate. You can decide how much the rest of the soldiers will share, and report it to Xia. Butler, let Butler Xia give you money."

Zhou Zhou was overjoyed. He didn't expect the soldiers to share the money, so he responded loudly.

Qi Haoran glanced at him and said: "This king knows that you are different from Yu Cheng and others, but you are still guilty of the matter of Duke Ang, this time you have saved people, and most of the saints will forgive you the death penalty, but the living sins have escaped. don't fall."
