Chapter 172:

There was heavy rain and the county town was wet all over.
But the air is exceptionally fresh and refreshing.
Of course, this is for local people, and some people are shocked by foreigners. The storm was too big and lasted all night. Many houses were lifted, not to mention the large trees uprooted on both sides of the road.
After this violent night, it continued to rain for several days in a row, and the people kept nestling in the house and couldn't go out.
Finally, when the weather finally cleared, the county was very busy, and the people who escorted the goods to the car were busy.
Earlier, the eyes were above the top, and they ignored each other, but now some people visit them again and again.
There are dozens of goods damaged this time. If you urinate, the key is the person who has damaged many goods. The quantity of delivery is agreed in advance, and it took a lot of time to prepare these goods. It is impossible to complete a large amount of goods at once.
Especially when Shangao Road is far away, even if the goods are delivered and then transported to Dinghai, the daylily will be cold by then.
Several managers of the damaged goods received orders from their respective owners. If the business was ruined this time, they would n’t have to come back, and it ’s no wonder they would be so anxious.
But other goods are only enough for their own use, and there is more than one can be distributed to others. At a time when these families were in vain, someone sent them a message.
Go to Xuezhi County.
You forgot the last time that Xue Zhixian, who eats people and does not spit bones, but made a lot of goods to buy and sell, this time he will definitely not give up the meat to his mouth, so if you have anybody here in Dinghai now It must be Xuezhi County.
Can Xuezhi County be found? The guy whose geese have plucked their hands but not soft? Whoever is stupid will find him!
In the end, life is more important than face, or someone came to the door in a state of uneasiness.
When we arrived at the county government office, the county government office was busy. This time many people's houses were damaged. Now the county government office is busy helping the people repair the house.
The money for repairing the house came from the county government office. As soon as the news was released, the people shouted Qingtian. There is no need to worry about labor when someone produces money. Labor is the most common in ten miles.
This Xuezhi County is also surprising. Usually a lazy office looks like a shopkeeper. I did not expect to help the people repair the house. Not only did he pay for it in person, he also went to check it out personally.
So people are naturally not found.
After several trips, Xue Zhixian was not there, and everyone was desperate.
At this moment, some people couldn't bear to send them a message, it was useless to find the county's grandfather, to find a wife, the wife was in charge.
But a few big men went to find the county's wife and grandfather, this is not just looking for excitement. A lot of money was stuffed, and finally someone sent a letter to them.
If it's not convenient to find a wife, just look for the lady's maid.
So Xiaohong and Xiaolu were found.
The words were handed to Zhao'er, and she did not take the shelf, and spoke very simply.
Want goods? simple! Three times the market price.
Why don't you grab it!
But no matter how they scold, their respective lives are still hanging on the belt. If the goods are not delivered this time, and if they do n’t lose their reputation in Yiren, they will be robbed of some of their business. This time it was part of the loss. It is likely that both parties will be on the line, and next time they will have nothing to do with themselves.
This is why the heads of the families have issued such orders.
Even if it is to punish the merits, this time the business can not be smashed!
On the surface, they are scolding two people for eating people and not spitting bones, and the soldiers can not be humiliated. No one runs slowly in the background, fearing that they will be robbed and the goods are robbed.
When the goods finally arrived, the heart finally let go, and then looked outside, only to find that several goods had been filled.
The quantity of this batch of goods can add up to a lot. If it was n’t for the ruined goods that were still being thrown there, they really had to wonder if that Xuezhi County had used some demon law to steal their goods.
Without further ado, it will soon be the day of shipment.
Fortunately, the transaction was very smooth, and everyone was relieved. This time it was too unsatisfactory, and I encountered things a lot along the way. When I got to the place, it was the same weather, which made people feel disturbed.
Finally, all the dust settled, the people of all the businesses left, and Dinghai County made a good harvest from top to bottom.
The biggest winner was Xue Tingyan, who did not make a small amount of income for the county, and he also made a large deal.
Especially for this kind of costless business, it has a special sense of accomplishment, that is, it is not too tiring for Gao Sheng and others, and I haven't had a good night's sleep for these goods.
After Xue Tingyan had money, he started tossing again.
Expansion of the warehouse was one of them. He took people to the pier again, and even for a few days to see it. When Dinghaihou was shocked, there was news that Xuezhi County was about to repair the pier.
Mr. Xue said that it is used for civilian use. The pier is too old. Let's repair it.
The adults in Zhixian said repair, and naturally the whole county started to repair.
Not only did the port be widened, but the wharf was also rebuilt, and all were covered with bluestone bricks, which was simply not the same as before.
This repair has passed for more than a month, and it will soon be time for the next transaction.
This time everyone has learned to be good. When entering the city, the benefits of the game should be fixed. The warehouse has also been fixed. On the day of shipment, without the doorman talking, he paid for the road according to a car or twelve silver.
Everything was overjoyed, but this time something went wrong.
It's not a small thing.
Xue Tingyan was hugs her baby and was awakened.
It was a government office in the county government office, and it was said that something happened at the beach.
Xue Tingyan was planning to take people to see the situation and was dragged down by Fan Xiancheng.
"No go, no go!"
Fan Dazhu was full of surprises, and seemed to be terrified. He dragged Xue Tingyan in his hand, and his servant was in his mouth. "
Those bureaucrats who had been summoned in a hurry, ran out of the county bureau in a hurry, before they even had their clothes and neatly dressed.
Soon there was a sound of gongs outside, and the whole county suddenly awakened from the dream.
"What exactly is going on?"
"Japanese pirates, Japanese pirates!"
Fan Dazhu repeatedly issued many orders, but he was out of breath. When he was asked by Xue Tingyan, he could only return such a sentence.
"What pirates are not pirates!"
On the side, Zhou Li cried and said: "Adult, this time it is true, really a pirate!"
If the pirates were the most fierce, it would have to be traced back to the previous dynasty.
At first, the so-called Japanese pirates were nothing more than Japanese wars, so that the people did not talk about life, and some warriors and civilians who could not mix in the homeland attacked the coastal areas of neighboring countries in droves. The coastline of the Ming Dynasty is the longest, and it is inevitable to be harassed by it.
But this was just the beginning, and the reasons for the pirates later became a bit more complicated.
The imperial court was already sensitive to the issue of opening the sea, because of the troubles of the Japanese pirates, the sea ban was tight, loose and tight. Some coastal merchants, because they were dissatisfied with the imperial court ban, hired some Japanese pirates to live on the coast and secretly walk privately. In fact, the hired people are mixed, and they are all refugees from various countries around Linhai. Among them, some Japanese nationals are indispensable, but because the name of the Japanese pirates is outside, they are naturally discussed together.
This is an inseparable knot, because the pirates ban the sea, because the pirates are more fierce. Gradually because of the prohibition of the sea, some people along the coast were unable to survive and turned into pirates. Some smugglers have suffered some bloodshed because of uneven distribution of benefits. Of course, there are also some Japanese people. Naturally, the waves of Japanese pirates are getting bigger and bigger.
In the mid-to-late period of the former dynasty, from the middle of the East China Sea to the South China Sea, as far as Ryukyu, Luzon, Japan, Manchuria, and Brunei, countless flowers bloomed, and countless pirate merchants were born. There are also many foreigners from the west who stir the wind and rain, and all these people's goal is nothing but the rich land of China.
There was the Silk Road in ancient times, and now there is the Silk Road on the sea.
Someone once said: "The foreigners covering the ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Oriental ... are the two foreigners, all of whom are good at Chinese silk satin, and their soil is not silkworm, but they can weave fine satin horses with the silk of China. Convinced that Hua Hua is good, it is based on the Chinese lake (state) silk hundred catties, worth two hundred silver ...
It can be seen!
Not only silk, but also all kinds of silk, cotton, yarn, satin, velvet, gold silk, gold gluten, porcelain, and even paper and all kinds of traditional Chinese medicine, even the craftsmanship of the coastal generations and the female red needles are all in the ocean. Marketing.
To the people outside, this rich and vast land is like a huge treasure trove, attracting countless people to flock to it.
Some of these people disappeared in the vast ocean, some were attacked by the government to go far away overseas, and many people still learn from the camp. But this port in Dinghai County is just a drop in the sea. Because it is opposite to the Shuangyu Island, Shuangyu Island faces Ryukyu, Japan, and other countries, and it is adjacent to the South China Sea to the south and the East China Sea to the north. Rise again in the past year.
The sea is so vast, some people monopolize, and naturally some people are unwilling.
Therefore, the Japanese pirates mentioned in Fan Dazhu's mouth are not real pirates, but some people are jealous of the profiteering of these family businesses, that is, to attack and plunder.
All the news that came back from the subordinates confirmed all this.
After the Dinghai Post Office was fully dispatched, the Dinghai Guardian relied on the sea and had the duty to protect the coastline, so there were warships in the guardhouse.
Sitting in the lobby of the county government office, you can hear the rumbling of gunfire on the sea not far away. It is expected that many people in the county will stay up all night tonight.
The gate of the city has been martial-lawed, and even Xue Tingyan climbed the wall without hesitation.
In the dark, some people return from time to time, all of them are those who work hard to support their families.
Fortunately, in order to get a little gimmick, Xue Tingyan had a special vest for everyone in Dinghai Trade Union. Relying on the logos of these vests, the city gate was opened from the inside, and these mourning souls were put in.
People without vests are not allowed to enter, fearing that someone will take the opportunity to get into the city.
Until the horizon became white, and after defeating the sea, he was defeated.
The only two warships were sunk, and the other one was also devastated. The goods of the family and the business were robbed, and there were countless casualties.
The whole Dinghai County was so buzzing that ordinary people dared not go out.
At the same time, people from the Xie family and several other families came here to gather in Dinghaihou.
All this naturally has nothing to do with Xue Tingyan, don't look at him as a local parent official, in the end, he is not his own, and it is impossible for him to call him when he discusses matters.
