Chapter 367 The Zheng Family
Junjie flung himself into Muer's arms, eating sweet toffee, only felt that he was dreaming at this moment.He pinched his thigh hard, the pain was severe, it was really not a dream.

When he came back from the back mountain and learned that his father was back, he hugged his father like this, no matter how much his father scolded him, he was unwilling to come down.

This is his proud father!finally came back!No one will dare to bully him in the future!

Just now his father distributed the gifts brought by Daming to everyone, looking at everyone's envious eyes, Shunjie felt that it would be okay even if he died at this moment, because he was so happy.

"Okay, Yingzi, don't clean up. Just take mother's comb and your and Shunsuke's clothes."

Seeing that his wife was still busy, Mu Er persuaded: "When you arrive in Daming, you will have everything, and you will have all kinds of things distributed every month, so don't be too busy. Moreover, these beddings will be thrown away when you take them with you. Mrs. Zuo is a very particular person, she doesn't like people being slovenly, you have to use her for everything, otherwise you will be unhappy."

"Then throw these things away like this?

Yingzi hesitated, "Are we really not coming back?"

Mu Er chuckled, and said with disdain in his eyes: "What's so good about this place? Give it to the neighbors! We won't live here when we come back..."

After that, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

If only my mother was still alive...

Seeing her husband suddenly depressed again, Yingzi lowered her head and thought sadly: Sure enough, she still cares a lot, right?

The couple packed up in this slightly weird atmosphere, and then waited until late in the afternoon, the family ate the cooked miso radish soup and brown rice, and then went out of the house and distributed all the things in the house to the neighbors , and then walked out with the burden on his back.

When they reached the entrance of the village, Muer and Yingzi stopped and looked back at the place where they had lived for many years, and a trace of melancholy flashed in their eyes.But soon, they turned around again, leaving all the scenery and objects behind, and walked towards the road to the port.

Mu Er came back on time, which made Li Xiang very satisfied.It's not in vain for me to clear up the relationship with him here, and finally let the people here let him go.

Now, Mu Er can bring his mother-in-law and son back to Daming, and then he can work for the eldest girl with peace of mind.

Once Mu Er's matter is resolved, the trade matter must also be taken care of.After Li Xiang's observation, he found that these small maritime merchants who followed seemed to be unaware of the cheapness of silver and gold in Japan.Later, after asking these merchants, he found out that these small maritime merchants were also landing for the first time.

It sounds absurd but it actually happened.A sea merchant has never landed on the land of another country. There is only one reason for this situation: the sea merchant does not allow them to land.

As for the reason?

Hehe, it would be nice if I could make you rich and share some soup with you. What more reason do you need?The one with the capital is the boss, or try it yourself?
So even though these small sea merchants knew that there must be tricks in it, but because they were unable to go to sea alone, and there were no artillery guards on board, they could only pinch their noses and recognize it. The advantage taken away was regarded as protection money.

Li Xiang was also dumbfounded after hearing these bullshit stories.

[-]% profit!

These big merchants just swallowed it all by themselves? !Swallowing [-]% of the profit, but also playing tricks on the profit of the goods transaction, tsk tsk, looking at it this way, my eldest girl finally decided that the government will take [-]% of the profit, that is really a conscience!

If you look at it this way, the profit from the gold and silver difference cannot be divided equally.After all, whoever controls the armed forces at sea has the right to speak these days.The unity is true, but the protection fee should also be paid, otherwise, where will the money for maintaining the battleship and repairing the gun come from?
Li Xiang's eyeballs turned straight, and finally found a group of merchants, and after explaining all the doorways inside, he said: "Everyone, this is just my personal opinion. The stronger the Qiongzhou fleet, the better our business will be." If it gets bigger, the [-]% profit will be taken for nothing, so, I think, don’t count the profit from the difference between gold and silver, and let us adults decide after we go back.”

He looked around the crowd and said: "Everyone, you know the character of our adults, and you won't suffer. You didn't ask you to deposit any money this time, did you? We just got out of the boat, but in this way, you still get the net profit." Forty percent, the losses are all our Qiongzhou's. We adults are sincere enough, aren't we?
But our grown-ups don't get their money from the sky.Everyone, the maintenance cost of this battleship is very high!It would be best to use the profit from the gold and silver difference to make up for this piece!But don't worry everyone, the benefits here will definitely be shared with you according to the character of my adults, it's just..."

"General Li, you don't need to say it, we can save it."

A sea merchant said: "My lord is kind, we are not ignorant of good and evil. And the goods provided by your lord are the only ones in the scorpion's shit. Isn't this price just for us? We understand what the general means, this time the settlement is only gold .As for the difference between gold and silver, it’s up to the adults to decide, it doesn’t matter if you don’t give it, we are satisfied with this.”

"Yeah yeah."

Other merchants also echoed, "Each of these eyeshadow and lip gloss boxes can be sold for fifty gold. It was sold. If we do the calculations like this, it will be [-]% profit, not counting the difference in gold and silver, it is even better than we used to go three times, which is very satisfying!"

"The Qiongzhou escort ship is still too big right now. We don't need much gold and silver. Let your lord build the ship quickly. It will be safer to travel this way. The Japanese country is still a little barren. We should go to Nanyang, Batavia, there. There are only a lot of big buyers!"

"Yes! But there are also many pirates, so we can only cling to those big merchants. Although the Zheng family has surrendered to the court, but... well, let's not mention it! If it wasn't for the name of Duke Zhen this time, We might not be able to do so well here."

Li Xiang frowned, "Where did you say that?"

"Don't the general know that the Zheng family has a very close relationship with this Japanese? It is said that the Zheng family official was summoned by the former shogun Tokugawa Hidetada, and he was also quite close to the Matsuura family, the prince of the Hirado Domain. The Matsuura family acted as a matchmaker, and built a new residence in Ura Chirihama, Kawachi. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Nagasaki belongs to the Zheng family.

General, don't you realize that I have a lot of Chinese customs here?This is the reason why those domestic fleets dare not make trouble even though they have the endorsement of the government. "

Li Xiang suddenly realized, "I said that they didn't do anything when they saw me as if they were going to eat me. This is the reason for their feelings!"

"Our lord is in the heart of the emperor. His majesty has the grace of saving his life from the dragon, and he has the merit of rebuilding in Daming. Mrs. Zheng dare not risk the world's disgrace and embarrass your lord."

A merchant said: "Does the general know that when fleets from other places come here, they need to pay Zheng's money first?"

Li Xiang was stunned, "What?! You have to pay him to go to sea?! Why?!"

"Just five or six hundred boats with people."

Merchant Jia sighed softly, "The imperial court only cooperates with big merchants, and that big merchant is the Zheng family. So, I can only come to beg Mr. Zuo, otherwise we will never be able to go to sea again."

"These……"

Li Xiang only felt that the three views had been subverted, "Does my eldest girl know?"

"I didn't say anything."

Merchant Jia Jia said: "Don't bother me about such things. We thought about it when we came here. The Zheng family dares to accept money from anyone, but only Zhen Guogong."

"Why is this?"

"Oh, why?"

Merchant Jiajia sneered, "Just now the grassroots said that Mr. Zuo has the grace of rebuilding Daming. Such a simple person who is popular in the emperor's heart and popular, Zheng does not dare to offend. He wants to come ashore. If he offends Lord Zuo, the Zuo family army is not a vegetarian."

Now Li wants to understand.

It is sold well.

So the road money was confiscated, and it was secretly controlled so that no one would make trouble.No wonder the trip to Japan went so smoothly this time, even with Muer's family members, the relationship is still there!
He also knew about Zheng Zhilong, but he had only heard of his name, but he didn't know exactly what he did.He was a poor boy before he met the eldest girl, how could he know these things?

"In this way, my eldest daughter is really famous."

Li Xiang laughed suddenly, and said with a big brain: "Then if we buy a few boats from Mrs. Zheng, maybe we can buy them for the sake of our big girl?"

A group of merchants couldn't help but roll their eyes.

The Zheng family can rely on these boats to be domineering, and sell them to your government?So that you can kill donkeys when you grow up?Really is a fool!

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Xiang also felt that he was a little whimsical. He smiled embarrassingly, touched his nose and said: "My family always said that only if you dare to think, you will get results. I think there are no absolutes in the world, maybe people are willing to sell it? And ah, my family The eldest girl knows two places that are rich in gold, and the land there is richer than our Ming Dynasty, and the people there are still uncivilized. If the Zheng family is willing to cooperate with my lord, then it is no problem to open up the land! "

Li Xiang couldn't help but cheer up.He has seen the map of the world given by the gods, and the place marked Australia is not far from Daming.I heard from the eldest girl that there is still no land there, only some people who migrated there during the Yin and Shang Dynasties, but because they are far away from the middle land, the culture has been broken, and now they have become uncivilized savages...

If you have the opportunity to go to sea, you must go to Australia, save the flesh and blood of these compatriots, and then spread Chinese civilization...

Li Xiang, who didn't want to pass on civilization, didn't care, so he remembered the area of ​​the land.If one day he stepped on it and planted a monument, wouldn't it be an expansion of the territory?If Zheng Shi is willing to cooperate, this dream may come true!

A group of merchants shook their heads, and felt that the little general in front of him was not in the right mind, probably because he was entertained too much by the Japanese merchants these days, and his brain was confused by drinking, right?Land bigger and more fertile than Daming?Still full of gold?Will there be no one in such a place?Boy, you really drank too much...
