Chapter 259 Smart people
The next morning, the noise began again on the dock, and ships left, and ships arrived.
People who were busy unloading and loading were very busy, shouting and roaring, which was very noisy.
Because the navy soldiers who did not go to the romantic night were waiting for the brothel to open in the afternoon, we could not leave immediately, otherwise even if the big ship drove out of the Busan port, these hungry men would jump into the sea to swim back to the Busan port and talk to the girls about life philosophy.
Therefore, it was rare to relax. Master and Ba Ye took us together to the most famous restaurant here in the morning, and ate some famous Korean spicy cabbage, ginseng chicken, roasted lamb slices, assorted cold noodles, etc., and then looked at the people coming and going on the street, which was very relaxed and comfortable.
"Ho snoo snoo snoo ~"
When you are happy, there will always be inappropriate sounds. For example, now, a lot of such sounds are coming out on the third floor. If you accidentally listen, you will think you have entered the pigpen.
Jeon Miyan's pink fist hit the head of the boy beside him, "Idiot! Wouldn't you eat a little less loud?"
The poor boy who can make the pretty beautiful young women perform violence is naturally the only one who can make the young men in the world.
He stopped eating the cold noodles of Gaoli and said pitifully: "Sister~"
"Be gentler! The second and third masters are here, not caring about the image at all!" Jeon Mi-yeon educated her younger brother viciously, and as she said, she knocked on his head again.
The friends on the side were so excited that they wanted to laugh. Sister Bao was venting her dissatisfaction with her brother going out to find the girl last night, and she was still deliberately making excuses to deal with him. With such a sister like her mother, Otaku is really pitiful!
I think so, but they dare not say it out loud. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if they affect them.
So, they hurriedly buried their heads and started to eat and drink.
I didn't care about how Jeon Mi-yeon disciplined her younger brother. This was a way for the two siblings to express their family affection. It would be bad if outsiders intervened.
My attention is mainly focused on discussions with Master and Master Ba.
"It seems that it is necessary to become a good port. The terrain is very important." The master sighed, "This Busan port has a wide terrain and a calm water flow. Although it is located in the north, it will not freeze. In addition, the goods from Goryeo are piled up here, so people can trade conveniently, so it has become famous as one of the two major ports in the Dongying Sea."
"We are still not able to stay in the harbor in Yin." Ba Ye nodded and responded: "Although the inner harbor like a gourd shape has added some safety to us. However, the narrow port entrance greatly restricts the entry and exit of many caravans. There are also the docks of the port, which are surrounded by cliffs, and there is no way to expand, so the fleets they can accommodate are limited."
"There are two more important points. The first is that we can't pass through ships for at least five months a year. Merchants pay attention to regular circulation. People are unwilling to come in such a closed port." I smiled and said, "The second is that there is no population north of us that can buy their things. No matter how many caravans, how good things are, and what can we do if there are no purchasers?"
"Haha, these two points Xiaobao said are the big problems." Chen Han said slightly, "Then what do you think should be dealt with?"
"It's too easy to deal with it." I said seriously: "The geographical conditions of Otaru Port are not inferior to those of Busan and Sakaicho. They can be used after a little transformation... Second, it is a point that must be done and the most troublesome point, that is, we need to increase the population of the Hoi Island, at least a total scale of 500,000, which is enough to make 100 caravans willing to come."
"Five hundred thousand people!"
The two dads sighed as they heard this.
The total population of Emi Island is about 300,000. Last time, the Hatan Army and the Tsuga Army massacred almost 50,000 people in Sapporo City. At most, there are only 250,000 people. If we want to reach 500,000, we don’t know where to find it.
Looking at the three of us frowning and eating with our daughter, Chen Xiaoxuan frowned: "You can eat when you come out and eat, why do you say so much? The business is not ready yet, just think about these distant things? Eat quickly, all the things are cold!"
Upon hearing this, we looked at each other and laughed, and stopped thinking. We picked up the bowl and started eating like we did with our friends.
...
At the same time, in another high-end restaurant not far from here.
The little marquis Cao Ming and the commander of the Lingnan Naval Commander Wang Yun were also eating food similar to ours.
Unlike our feast, Cao Ming obviously lacks appetite, while Wang Yun is eating his favorite spicy cabbage cold noodles in a slow manner. This delicious food with red mountain pepper is most suitable for him from humid areas.
"My General Wang! Is it okay, you're just talking!" Cao Ming couldn't help but complain: "You know my character, and I will never treat you badly."
What Cao Ming said was that he wanted to ask Wang Yun to intercept the fleet of the damn guys outside the port of Busan, and then snatch all the goods of the guys to eliminate his hatred.
The little marquis has grown up so old that he has never suffered such a great insult as last night!
Wang Yun took a sip of cold noodle soup and put down the bowl, "Little Marquis, I went to see their ships this morning, and there were a total of twenty ships."
"I know, I've also gone to see it." Cao Ming said impatiently: "But how can they compare with our Song Dynasty warships? What's more, the warships you brought this time are thirty-five in size!"
"If you want to fight, they are definitely not opponents." Wang Yun said proudly, but he immediately smiled bitterly again: "But Xiao Marquis, this morning, there were four second-class warships of our Jiangnan Navy in their fleet. Do you know what this means?"
"Do you really believe their lies?" Cao Ming's face showed disdain, "I have never seen officials from the Song Dynasty wearing the strange clothes of yesterday. They are obviously Japanese! Besides, what is the identity of the Eight Wise Kings? How could he let his men pretend to be Japanese?"
Wang Yun shook his head, "This is not necessarily the case. There are many strange people in the Eight Virtues Palace, and we don't know their identities. Little Marquis, your experience is not enough, so I'll analyze it for you."
"President Wang, please tell me!"
Although Cao Ming was extremely angry, he still needed necessary respect. After all, the person on the other side was not his subordinates, but his father, who had to make friends with real power.
"If he had a second-class warship of the Jiangnan Navy alone, it might have been sold to him by someone from the Jiangnan Navy, but five of them appeared at once, and they looked 80% new. Then it would be impossible for anyone to dare to sell them to him... Even the general of the Jiangnan Navy and the commander-in-chief of the Palace in front of the palace did not dare to be so arrogant, because such a big goal could not be hidden at all."
"Um."
"There is a second point. His jade pendant is at least a prince-level carry item, which cannot be fake. If anyone wants to imitate it, first of all, the jade quality cannot be such a top-quality white jade, which is exclusively for the royal family. Then there is this kind of fine and complicated carving, which can only be made by the craftsmen visited by the emperor. The craftsmen outside do not have this skill, and secondly, who dares to carve the four-clawed jade dragon? Being caught is immediately a serious crime to implicate the three tribes!"
"yes!"
"Actually, I would be a little suspicious if it was five ships alone, or four-clawed Jade Dragon Pants. But he had both and dared to sail in this sea area, which proves that he had something to rely on." A gleam broke out in Wang Yun's eyes. He patted Cao Ming's shoulder: "Little Marquis, I'll say with all my time. No matter who he is in the backstage, he will definitely be a big shot that you can't compete with. You should have more contact with him in the future. This is the best way."
"I'm in contact with him? I'm going to please him?" Cao Ming was immediately angry. "Commander Wang, this is absolutely impossible!"
"Little Marquis, why did you feel unhappy before? Isn't it because you think he is a lowly Japanese man and a pretender, right?"
"right!"
"Now it proves that he is not pretending to be a lie, but a person with a higher identity than yours. Why haven't you been making friends with him? Did you have to establish an enemy in the capital before you even came out of Jiannan West Road?"
"He has a noble status? That boy is still as slutty as if he is so naughty?"
"It is precisely because he is young and at most fifteen years old that he dares to come out with the fleet, so he proves that his identity is different!" Wang Yun looked at him with a headache, "Did you see dozens of Rakshasa ghosts around him? As far as I know, at least 10,000 people who came with him this time were elite soldiers, among which there are more than 300 such giant-like Rakshasa ghosts. Do you know what this represents?"
"Wow... so many Rakshasa ghosts, what are he going to do?"
"What are you doing? You must protect him! The three hundred giant Rakshasa ghosts, unless there are thousands of Khitan cavalry, will not be able to keep him!" Wang Yun said seriously: "A such a high-quality Rakshasa ghost is wearing armor and weapons all over his body. Who can do such a big deal? Why don't you think about it?"
"Is it... he really has a big background?"
Listening to Wang Yun's analysis, Cao Ming gradually changed color.
His family is relatively powerful in Tokyo Bianliang, but his strength is not very strong. Otherwise, his father would not have been sent to the remote Jiannan West Road. No matter how it is, it should be Jiangnan West Road and Huainan Road.
Wang Yun nodded, "Little Marquis, the capital is different from remote areas. You must be careful. If you accidentally provoke someone, it may also bring harm to your father!"
Cao Ming thought solemnly for a while, and finally nodded: "I understand... Thank you for your advice!"
"Haha, just think it through." Wang Yun laughed, "According to our spy, the two beauties around him like to buy things. They may come out shopping at noon or afternoon... At this time, your opportunity comes! Even if it is not pleasing, at least you have to repair your relationship... You know, he knows the origin of your little marquis' name, and you told them to others yesterday."
Cao Ming was so scared that he trembled all over and his face immediately became much worse.
The urgency in my heart to repair the relationship with this noble man became increasingly strong. (To be continued...)
