Chapter 179: Insider
"Brother Ding, the journey to Annan is dangerous, so be very careful when you go there. In addition, there are two Galen treasure ships in Minghai that are loaded with iron tools and other goods to Annan. Ding, as the owner of the ship, took them to Dongpu together." Su Lang Qing said.
"Yes." Brother Ding received the order, turned around and prepared for going to sea.
When the Chinese businessmen left one after another, Su Langqing also walked towards the wharf.
"Brother, should you tell Lord Liu Yu about Lu Hai?" On the street, Su Ming and Su Langqing were mixed in the bustling crowd.
"Sweep the snow in front of the door at home, don't worry about the frost on others' houses." Su Langqing shook his sleeves and walked forward quickly.
"Brother, our Su family has opened twelve weaving workshops. There are so many cotton cloth in Luzon. The weaving products come from our Su family. Although they are not as good as the wool velvet brought by the red-haired ghost, they bring a lot of silver to our Su family every year. Now the raw silk smuggled from the mainland is broken half of the time." Su Mingxiao saw that his elder brother was leaving and hurriedly followed.
"The mainland is short of stock, so just plant mulberry trees in Luzon. Aren't we resettled refugees in Mingcheng? Give some silver twill to Lord Liu Quan of Weigan, and spend some silver to connect with officials from the upper and lower levels and bring some land. If it doesn't work, then use grain. The Western twill to the chief of Tubang, and ask for some land from Tubang." Su Langqing glanced at his second brother behind him and spoke.
"How much does it cost? Our Su family can afford so much silver. If I ask me to go to Lord Liu Yu to sue Lu Hai, but our Su family can also reach out to the mainland." Su Mingxiao looked a little excited.
"Shut up." Su Langqing was so scared that he staggered. Seeing that the two of them had entered the dock, he quickly pulled Su Mingxiao to the warehouse beside him.
"You're crazy, brother."
The warehouse was filled with pickled sea fish and whale meat. The smell of sea fish was swaying to the ears and noses. Su Mingxiao covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, and rushed out but was grabbed by Su Langqing beside him.
"I think you are crazy." Su Langqing said angrily.
"You think you are smart, so you went to the Ming court to sue Lu Hai for a lawsuit."
"These things have already spread among the merchant ship owners. Do you think Lord Liu Yu doesn't know?" Su Langqing looked at his second brother beside him and said angry and annoyed.
"The four seas were formed by Lord Liu Yu himself. Our Su family is only in charge of Minghai. Lu Hai has nothing to do with my Su family. If we sue Lord Liu Yu, do you think you will think that we are loyal or that we have some intentions." Looking at the prosperous business road outside the window, Su Langqing shook his head.
"Then, Lu Hai smuggled so many ships from the mainland every year, but now he doesn't leave Lavag but goes to Hoi'an. Such a big thing has caused many people's jobs. The raw silk smuggled from the mainland these days has been reduced by half, and the Su family weaving workshop has reduced the output by 50% these days." Su Mingxiao looked painful and stretched out five fingers tremblingly.
"Yes, there are so many ships from Luhai to Luzon for a while. Where do you think these big ships have gone?" Su Langqing looked at his brother helplessly.
On the surface, Minghai is working for the Ming court, and is often dubbed by people in the neighborhood and alleys.
But which sea in the four seas is not the Ming court’s dog?
This morning, Liu Yu asked Minghai to send a fleet to Dongpu to Haitrade. Could it be that he just told him, the helmsman of Minghai, what about the other seas?
There are fewer and fewer ships entering Lavag Harbour these days. So many ships have gone to Hoi'an, what are they doing, so many cargo, so many people.
Su Langqing took a deep breath and looked at Su Mingxiao who was still in the dark.
"Second brother, I will take another 10,000 taels of silver from my family. I will give hundreds of imitation Western glittering satin, Western gold satin, Western gold satin and other pieces from the weaving workshop to the chiefs and nobles near Mingcheng. We will try to get some land from the hands of the Shengfan, mulberry silkworms and other things to buy from Minghai. As for manpower, there are many refugees in Mingcheng, and spending some grain and silver can always attract people." Su Langqing thought.
"No, brother, we really raise silkworms and rayons by ourselves." Su Mingxiao was shocked.
"It should be like this. If the coastal war begins in the future and the trade in the South China Sea is broken, we South China businessmen must be prepared." Su Langqing murmured to himself.
When the two brothers of the Su family were planning in the warehouse, Ding Ge had already boarded a large sailboat.
"This time I went to Dongpu mainly to explore the business roads. I may not be able to earn some silver. I hope my brothers will forgive me." Brother Ding looked at the merchant ship owners gathered here with a little apology.
"It's okay, I brought two thousand kilograms of iron to the sea this time, and I didn't ask for how much silver the people of Dongpu Ming could give, and it would be better to change some raw silk cotton cloth or something." said a ship owner.
The ship owners present were all familiar with Brother Ding, so they naturally knew that there was no profit to go to Dongpu, but they were just finding a trade route for Minghai.
"Minghai also attached great importance to this trip to Dongpu. He specially transferred two armed merchant ships, each carrying eight cannons." Brother Ding smiled, and his eyes couldn't help but look at a six-pound falcon cannon on the deck cannon.
A team of mercenaries walked past the cannon position, and his teeth secretly glanced.
"What are you looking at?" Li Liu pulled Erya and said angrily.
"Brother Li, we are going to go out to sea. Are we going back?" Erya looked at the sea and said with great anticipation.
"Okay, I have to go back, but I have to go back." Li Liu knocked on Erya's head and said with a smile.
This time, the Ming court specially drew musket soldiers from Hu Ben and Fubo Town, and 100 people including the gunners went to Annan with the Minghai merchant fleet.
With Liu Yu's permission, Minghai could also equip some artillery on merchant ships, and at the same time, he could hire some gunners and gunners from the Ming army at high prices to act as mercenaries with the ship.
This time I went to Dongpu, Minghai cooperated with the Ming court, and the Ming court naturally drew some elite troops from the army to serve as the guards of these Chinese merchants.
At this time, Dongpu and other places were about to storm.
Nguyen Phuket, who wanted to kill someone with a knife, simply wrote a letter to the 杨娱杨娱杨娱 and 杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱杨娱�
The implication is actually to order them to send troops to destroy the Ming people in Dongpu and other places immediately.
Since the last civil strife in Zhenla, Nguyen Phuc took the opportunity to intervene, Zhenla has been divided into two parts, controlled by the old king's eldest son, Mieqiu, and the original noble Miemin.
The northern part of Zhenla in Mianqiu, while the southern part of Mianqiu went to Chaibang to rule Zhenla, which is the Mekong Delta region.
However, in name, Niu Neng is just a puppet supported by Nguyen Phuket.
It just so happened that Dongpu and even Hexian were close to the territory of Niu Neng, and Nguyen Phuc also hoped to use Zhen La's troops to suppress the Ming people.
Niu Neng, who had been supported by Nguyen Phuc for many years, had already lost his temper. Seeing Nguyen Phuc Neng's letter, he did not object, but just ordered his generals to prepare for war.
The northern part of Niu Weiqiu is much more backbone and directly tore up Ruan Phuc Bing's letter. Anyway, Zhen La and Guangnan are separated by a Chameng, so you can take a detour to Chameng and beat me.
Mai Weiqiu, who had already lost a large area of land because of Nguyen Phuc's intervention, saw hope of resisting Guangnan in these Ming people.
