Chapter 603 The extremely wealthy Songjiang Mansion


Chapter 603 The extremely rich Songjiang Prefecture

Yan Shixuan actually wanted to stay in Shanghai County and continue to be the county magistrate, because given the location of Shanghai County, it is destined to be a critical place for the opening of the sea, coming up from the Yangtze River. All goods must be transshipped in Shanghai County, where merit can be achieved.

But Yan Shixuan finally chose to leave. This place should be left to the people in heaven to fight.

Sun Wukong was able to ask whose slave the monster he was fighting was because he was the reincarnation of the Heart Monkey Relic (Mani Pearl), and his background was greater than Tang Monk's Golden Chanzi.

“In the eighth year of Wanli Dynasty, I came to Shanghai County to be the county magistrate. I remember clearly that the day I took office in Qujiawan County Government was August 14th, and the next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival. I remember it very clearly. "Yan Shixuan took Li Yougong onto the streets of Shanghai County.

Shanghai County has no city walls, and the county government moved from Shiliupu to Qujiawan in the first year of Wanli.

Standing on the bustling street, Yan Shixuan looked at the busy traffic on the street with emotion, and said: "When I took office, there were more than 800,000 people in Dingkou, Shanghai County. I had a feeling at that time , is this a county? Jimo County has just 250,000 people. Jimo County is the pioneer of Mizhou's sea development, and Shanghai County is the bridgehead of Songjiang's sea development. "

"It felt very strange at that time. Will I become the parent official of 800,000 people? But the annual income of 800,000 people in Shanghai County is only 200,000 taels of silver, which is a drop in the bucket for such a big city. ”

"I don't understand why with such a small amount of tax, I asked the six-room clerk to look at the accounts. This was the first mistake I made. From that time on, from the first day I took office, I knew Why are imperial officials also called Liuguan? "

"The grandfather of the Liufang scribe is a scribe, as is the case with Liufang Dianshi, squad leader, yamen, jailer, coroner, and even Liancaihuying. The same is true for the farmers, who have been hereditary for generations. ”

"The scribe told me directly that there are no accounts, but all the money owed must be paid, otherwise it will be extorting powerful people and blaming the common people."

"Li Dayun, in the face of this situation, you said that I am the Great Master of Qingtian" Master, or them? More specifically, who controls the power?”

“Everyone who governs a place with officials will encounter this kind of dilemma, even in Ping County, Nanyangfu Town, Henan Province. The farce of killing officials is here." Li Yougong answered this question. In this case, the power is indeed not in the hands of the county magistrate.

Contestant Yan Shi stretched his hand forward and said: "The street under our feet is called Hudu. It is the oldest street in Shanghai County. The locals are so old that they don't know when this street was established. I think According to old records, it should be the Hudu Barrier built by King Shoumeng of Wu during the Spring and Autumn Period. The Hudu Barrier is a very ancient fishing gear, somewhat similar to a ground cage, and was used during high tide. Later it was called Hudu."

"During the Northern Song Dynasty, Hudu Base was renamed Shanghai Wu, which was the Supermarket. It was a large store run by the imperial court in the Northern Song Dynasty. It mainly sold liquor. Shanghai Wu soon prospered after the court built the store. It only took less than ten years to upgrade the business to a town.”

“The people of that time built the Municipal Shipping Department, the Commercial Taxation Bureau, the Taipingcang, and the Taipingcang along the Hudu Street at our feet. Liquor service, salt service, inspection department, water station, express delivery shop, etc. are all available. It is densely populated and Tibetan businessmen gather here."

"Li Dayun thought that this street could be used for business. "How much is the business tax?"

Li Yougong thought for a moment and said: "Travelers don't charge taxes, and they draw 100 yuan from businessmen. The situation is good, and there is a tax of 100,000 and 200,000 taels a year. Don't worry. "Down."

Yan Shixuan sighed and said: "In the seventh year of Wanli, the commercial tax here was only 1890 taels, and there was no business tax. Only the pawns and traders paid, and it was not handed over to the imperial government. , but a business gang like the Hailong Gang. In the eighth year of Wanli, there were seven business gangs of different sizes on this street. They raised many wanderers as thugs, and they often fought with each other. "

"One year, the county government has to repay a debt of more than 300,000 silver, and the annual income is only 200,000 silver. This is Shanghai County when I took office."

"How many people have advised me to be like the light. This is how the world is. You have to blend in with the world. Don't stand out and show your edge. If everyone is like this, it will make you special and different?"

Li Yougong said sincerely: "The Yanzhi County is really upright and will not join the same trend with such scumbags."

Being in harmony with the light? It is clear that they are colluding with the same trend. All the bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty are kneeling down to serve as officials. The Ming Dynasty is probably not far from being destroyed.

"Hey, this Li Daxuan thinks too highly of me." Yan Shixuan waved his hands repeatedly and said: "How can I have the confidence not to join in with them? I really think, but it's a pity that they don't give me this at all. Opportunity."

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details." Li Yougong frowned, and there seemed to be something hidden. Yan Shixuan seemed to want to kneel, but he didn't seem to succeed.

Yan Shixuan walked forward step by step and said with regret: "This unwarranted debt has hollowed out the entire government office. The Shanghai county government office cannot even pay out the salary to the government officials. This is Shanghai." The county has been open to the sea for several years. It is so rich that people can live happily, but I, the official of Qingtian, don’t even have money to give to the government officials.”

“That’s it, that’s it. It’s not. The salary was not paid on the first day. It has been decades since the government officials were used to it.”

“But not only did they not give me any money, they also wanted my life.”
< br>"Hai Zongxian repaired the embankments of Wusong River and Baimao River, dredged the rivers, and connected them to the sea, which resulted in the current basic layout of Shanghai County. The river embankments built by Hai Zongxian and the people can still be used for at least ten years. "

"On August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the county magistrate found me and asked me to report to the court and build the Wusong River embankment for an estimated cost of 340,000 silver."
< br>

Building cities in the north and dredging in the south are all old dramas. The Wusong River that does not need to be repaired will cost 340,000 silver to be repaired. The court will allocate part of it and deal with the rest. At this time, the Shanghai County Government is empty. Rats will cry when they go in, but meat eaters are determined not to starve themselves.

At this time, Yan Shi was chosen to report to the court to build the river embankment, and it happened naturally.

Everyone was satisfied except Yan Shixuan. With His Majesty’s decisive and decisive character, Yan Shixuan really reported it like this. Afterwards, the court and the emperor found out that their money was wasted in this way. I’m afraid it’s another one. A big case involving melons and vines.

"I really want to be like Guang, but I don't even give him a chance to survive." Yan Shixuan spoke with some anger.

He wants to kneel down, but he won’t be allowed to kneel down! Isn’t this bullying?

"Regarding one's deeds but not one's heart, Yan Zhixian did not join in with these people. That is, they are upright and upright, charge into battle, and the first to reach the battle will be rewarded heavily." Li Yougong gave a very positive evaluation. No matter how scared you are, think again. Kneel down. If you don't kneel down, then you are an honest minister. During a war, cutting off the enemy's head is a meritorious service.

Yan Shixuan walked on the long street beside the Huangpu River with square steps. This long street has embankments and street trees. He continued: "I will definitely not do anything that will cost me my life. , Later, in the spring of the ninth year of Wanli, Da Sikong returned to the capital, and Governor Shen took office. I quickly received the ticket and went to the government office, where I was scolded by my master Dong Weihao."

"Don't. Seeing as he has no official status as a master, he scolded me just like Xunzi. I couldn't retaliate because I didn't know whether Shen Shixing meant it. After all, he is from the Chu Party and I am from the Jin Party. "

“The construction does not have to be the Wusong River, it can also be the wharf land on the Huangpu River. After I was scolded, I returned to the county government and petitioned for construction.”

"For this construction matter, the imperial court gave one hundred thousand taels of silver to renovate Shiliujie City along the Huangpu River in Shanghai County. It was only on the day when the construction started that we broke up. I didn't use locals at all. From inside to outside, everything was done. At that time, I was also afraid of outsiders. I was afraid of death. I was afraid that all the money given by the court would be embezzled by them. If the court held me accountable, I would not be able to bear it. I was afraid that the market would not be renovated well and I would not be able to do business. "

"Practice and practice, I discovered that they are all a group of cowards! The shadows in the shadow puppet show are just bluffing."

Li Yougong raised his eyebrows: "Oh? I would like to hear the details."
< br> Yan Shixuan raised his brows and said with joy: "They dare not kill me because I am an official of the imperial court. If you kill me, even if Shen Shixing really instructs the master to make money, he will not be able to take it; they dare not destroy it. Because it was a decree of the imperial court, on the one hand, the laborers had to enter the construction site, and on the other hand, the local powerful right-wingers led the merchants to oppose it, but in the end, the laborers came in."

"I. After discovering their true nature, they are a group of cowards who don’t even dare to make a big fuss or take lives, because lawsuits involving human lives have to be reported to the court. Once the court’s eyes turn to Shanghai County, it is not something that the locals can handle. "

"By fixing things in Shiliu Que City, I opened up the situation. First, I drove out all the bandits in Shiliu Que City. I became a bandit myself. Later, I even I don’t acknowledge any previous debts, I don’t bring anyone with me, and I show up arrogantly at their banquets and poetry gatherings. I am just a vulgar person. They don’t let me go along with my wishes. When I go to their banquets, I always behave in a shady manner and criticize others. . "

" Drastically clean up the government officials and hire outsiders to become squad leaders, government servants, and six-room clerks. There are not many others in the Ming Dynasty. Those who want to eat the royal food can go to Taixi! "

"Kill me if you can!"

The last words, Yan Shixuan almost shouted, quite a bit like a villain who is successful and arrogant.

Yan Shixuan is different from the wise ministers and good ministers in the traditional sense. When he gets his way, he becomes arrogant. After opening up the situation, it becomes his hobby to cause trouble everywhere, forcing these cowards to take risks. It was Yan Shixuan's plan.

Yan Shixuan spread his hands and said helplessly: "Oh, this proud day has only lasted half a year. Everything was fine at first. Later, Hai Laosi of the Hailong Gang hooked up with his master Dong Wei, and my life was also difficult. Get up.”

"I have to go to the Songjiang government office once a month and get scolded. At first, Dong Wei was very angry, but later he just became heartbroken and wanted to grab me by the collar and scold me. But I found that Dong Wei was also He is a coward, he can't do anything to me, he can only scold me. The angrier he is, the happier I am, and the more disobedient I am."

"At that time, it was a bit broken. I want to wipe out the Hailong Gang, and nothing else matters.”

“That day, I suddenly received a ticket from the governor. I thought I was going to go to the government office to be scolded, but I thought Shen Shixing was finally here. I couldn't hold it back and wanted to reprimand me personally, but when I opened it, I was asked to cooperate with the Huating County government officials to arrest Hai Laosi and other Hailong Gang criminals!"

"Use the Huating County government officials myself? I took the government officials and wiped them all out!”

“A group of cowards who usually bully and fight the common people, but when faced with the government officials, they would not even dare to scold them, of course. , may be related to the fact that the Ming Dynasty Navy is in Songjiang Mansion. "

After Yan Shixuan was unable to kneel down and become an official, he found that these people were not afraid of him, but were afraid of the elite soldiers of the Navy.

The Hailong Gang really had a conflict with the Shanghai County government officials, and even started a fight. The strong troops of the Ming Dynasty Navy could arrive in less than half a day. This was a counter-insurgency, and there was no need for so many reasons to counter-insurgency.

Songjiang Town Admiral Zhang Cheng, before taking action, went to the Songjiang government office to communicate with Shen Shixing, just to tell Shen Shixing that the Navy had sharpened its knife and was bold enough to do it.

Li Yougong has been quietly listening to Yan Shixuan's talk. Yan Shixuan turned out to be a talkative person. After opening the chat box, he kept talking.

The Shiliu Queshi was just the first conflict. Over the past few years, Yan Shixuan picked out a dozen important things and shared them with Li Yougong endlessly.

For example, during the Qing Dynasty, there were conflicts over temple land; for example, during the census of Dingkou, there were conflicts over Yin Ding; for example, the conflicts over Xu Jie’s annexation of land ownership in Shanghai County; for example, conflicts over land ownership during the construction of official factory complexes, etc.

Yan Shixuan straightened his back, looked at the ten-mile long street, and said very proudly: "When the road surface in Shanghai County was hardened, thirteen official factories were built, including a lime factory, a brick factory, a coke factory, and an iron factory. Wait, later there were too many people here, so I moved the factories to the city walls. These factories have now turned into the three-story buildings we see. The ten-mile buildings along Hudu Street are all official residences. It belongs to the Shanghai County Government!”

“I built the dock, the school building, the wine shop, the Confucian school, the Huimin Pharmacy, and the Weaving Bureau’s residence”

Li Yougong thought of it! Wang Yi'e, when Wang Yi'e was the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, he also built a similar street along the Tonghui River. It is now the most prosperous street in the capital, with people coming and going in an endless stream. That street , gathering more than 100,000 people.

Li Yougong, the emperor's training partner and the third ancestor in the palace, was very convinced that Yan Shixuan was an official. Eunuchs didn't talk about morals and other things. He saw that Yan Shixuan could do things, and it was very, very remarkable to be able to do things. Got it!

"Actually, what I did was not good at all." Yan Shixuan turned from being quite proud to being a little depressed. He looked at a street and said: "This street is the best proof of my incompetence."

“Isn’t this street very prosperous?” Li Yougong didn’t understand how this street, with more people coming and going, and even more cars than other places, became the best proof of Yan Shixuan’s incompetence?

Yan Shixuan said with a particularly solemn expression: "On this street, all the luxury goods are sold. This street is three miles in total, and there is no repeated luxury goods. Agate, jade, Luchuan from the Western Regions Jadeite, jadeite gold and silver jewelry, gold lacquer inlaid furniture, cloisonné enamel, Sichuan Sichuan satin, tea from all over the country, and fine wines are all dazzling. "The luxury here is so extreme that one tael of tea can be sold for dozens of silver. The supply is still in short supply. "

"Is there any problem?" Li Yougong didn't understand that such a prosperous place became proof of his failure and incompetence in Yan Shixuan's mouth.

"Those who are covered with silken clothes are not silkworm raisers." Yan Shixuan whispered: "Poor coolies pass by here in a hurry without even looking at them."

Li Yougong said with great conviction: "Yan Zhixian is a Hongyi scholar."

Wang Jiaping did not misjudge Yan Shixuan. In fact, Yan Shixuan was not very courageous. He also wanted to kneel and was ready to surrender before engaging in battle. If Wang Jiaping really surrendered, With such a disciple, there is a high possibility that Wang Jiaping will be implicated in trouble.

Yan Shixuan had no choice. He could only resist, otherwise he would die. At first, Yan Shixuan's resistance was more like trying to get better surrender conditions.

Later, the situation reached a point where water and fire were incompatible. The enemy was weak and we were strong. Why should we surrender?

"We are in the interior, there are some treasures we haven't seen before, let's go and see them!" Li Yougong was full of confidence. The ambergris in the Ming Dynasty Palace cost three hundred kilograms a piece! According to Jade Lunjin, the gold content alone contains 1.2 million gold coins! They are all rolled gold coins, specially used for rewards.

May I ask who in the world can still have royal luxury?

Li Yougong still doesn’t believe it. There are treasures he has never seen on this three-mile-long street!

Li Yougong walked past the archway on the street. On the archway was written Xiafei. This three-mile-long street was called Xiafei Street. Li Yougong was full of confidence, walked nearly a hundred steps, and turned in casually. A store, and then walked out with confusion on his face.

"How is it?" Yan Shixuan asked curiously. He wanted to know what the heavenly people thought of the luxury here. Li Yougong belonged to the heavenly people among the heavenly people. After all, he was the head sparring partner who grew up with His Majesty.

"Your Majesty is very frugal and there is no such thing in the palace." Li Yougong said blankly.

He saw an ink pad that sold for thirty silver or one tael, and only accepted silver coins or acceptance bills from Tongguanyi. Li Yougong almost cursed on the spot, your ink pad is made of gold, it can't be so expensive! One tael of gold can be exchanged for sixteen taels of silver, and he sells one tael of seal pad for thirty taels!

Why don’t you grab it!

The store politely gave Li Yougong away as if he was looking at a poor man. If he couldn't afford it, don't look at it. It would delay business.

There are also wealthy families in Jiangnan who use eunuchs. It is not strange that Li Yougong does not grow a beard.

But the ink pad is indeed worth the price. Longquan ink pad uses lotus root silk. Ten thousand kilograms of lotus root can extract two and a half pieces of lotus root silk. It is taken out to dry for one year, and the camellia oil needs to be dried for six years. The process exceeds Thirty lines of ink pad will not solidify in winter, won't lose oil in summer, won't rot when soaked in water, or leave traces when burned, and will remain unchanged for hundreds of years.

His Majesty the Emperor has the most silver in the world, with nearly 20 million taels of silver piled up like mountains in the physical sense, but His Majesty has never been so extravagant.

The ink pad worth one silver and one pound is not unusable, and the paper worth three hundred coins and one knife is not unusable.

"Isn't there any in the palace?" Yan Shixuan asked in surprise. In a flash of lightning, he knew something was wrong!

Li Yougong brought more than 20 people with him when he came, but Songjiang Prefecture has a tax inspection institute and a tax inspection cavalry of 120 people. It is more than enough to cover this Xiafei Street from beginning to end. Yes, and it’s fair and honest!

Because this is an extravagant thing that even the emperor does not use. How can the people use it?

Xiafei Street, which committed the crime of transgression, was raided, which was in line with traditional Confucian etiquette. This incident became known to the whole world. Li Yougong was also justified. The world is big and the earth is big, and the emperor is the biggest. No matter what the reality is, That's the name.

“Tsk, tsk, you are so rich.” Li Yougong’s eyes were shining. He was thinking about whether to grab it. This sum would be enough for the palace to enjoy themselves for at least ten years without having to pay any money. , he was the emperor's sparring partner, and he personally led people to search, and it was justifiable for him to be charged with the crime of trespass.

Except Your Majesty, who can give Li Yougong a hard time? Even Zhang Juzheng can't do it. Zhang Juzheng and his cabinet can only say a few words. If your Majesty wants to protect him, it will be easy.

"Forget it, Your Majesty said, let our family go to the place and don't disturb the place. Every cent of silver our family brought back to the palace was exchanged for Your Majesty's reputation." Li Yougong finally agreed. I don't intend to do this. Although I am extremely rich and my name is justifiable, I still have a purpose.

Li Yougong took two steps and suddenly saw a group of drivers with flowers in front of them. These drivers looked familiar. After looking at them for a long time, Li Yougong was convinced that they were all produced by Huangzhuang, and they were new ones. The high-end products of the hydraulic shock absorber series range from 500 taels of silver to 5,000 taels of silver per car.

This series is called Yunhu, which symbolizes the vehicle that the gods ride on, and comes from "Book of Wei·Cui Guangzhuan".

You get what you pay for. Huangzhuang's knife skills are extremely precise. Each car has different specifications, such as the transparency of the window glass, the steel of the car, the spring steel of the shock absorber, etc.

The palace is not without luxury goods, but most of them were put in the palace and sold for money.

"One, two, three... twelve cars." Li Yougong simply counted. There were actually twelve top-end luxury cars. The cars alone cost 60,000 silver, plus the driver who pulled the car. The horses are all fine horses, so the price is priceless.

"Which wealthy family is traveling?" Li Yougong asked with some confusion.

Yan Shixuan said with emotion: "These twelve cars are all the cars of the courtesans of Songjiang Prefecture."

"The courtesans are so rich?" Li Yougong was shocked, Ming Dynasty Songjiang Mansion is indeed very rich, but it is so rich that even an oiran can afford such expensive things?

Yan Shixuan said with mixed feelings: "No, where do you start talking about this? In short, it is a fight for wealth. In fact, it is a bad custom passed from the Japanese country, but the Japanese country is a small country, Nagasaki No matter how rich you are, what tricks can you use to fight? After these bad customs were introduced to the Ming Dynasty, they became more serious and became what they are now."

Li Yougong learned about the Japanese country in detail. The fight for wealth was blamed on Xu Fan and Sun Keyi. They issued treasure notes but did not issue them indiscriminately, which alleviated the money shortage of the Japanese country and stimulated the economy in the short term. People near several ports of the Japanese country became rich. This strange culture of fighting for wealth and luxury has emerged.

The Japanese country has a very strong oiran culture, which is an industrial chain comparable to Korea's Goryeo.

When these courtesans go out, there are six gentlemen.

One is the natal gentleman. The natal gentleman is the family that Zhongliang will marry into in the future. You must find a natal gentleman with a high status. The remaining five gentlemen will be easy to handle. These natal gentlemen are either Nata. The direct line of the main daimyo, or the person after the minister of the imperial court.

With your natal gentleman and the six gentlemen, you can start looking for them.

The first person to look for is the gentleman, who is actually the number one spare tire. Once the lord abandons these courtesan, the gentleman cannot rise to the top, because the gentleman is just the spare tire who rides on the donkey to look for the donkey. When the oiran really can't find his destiny, he will give the gentleman a chance.

Under the title of "junzi", there is the "junzi of the curtain". This gentleman of the curtain does not consider the family at all. He must be handsome and powerful. He is responsible for helping the oirans and solving all the troubles in life. However, the gentleman of the curtain cannot be regarded as a "junzi". Guests, the meaning of this scene is that they can go to the oiran's boudoir to solve the trivial matters of life.

The king of the curtain is also the tool in the fight between the oirans. My king of the curtain is taller and stronger than yours, so he is better.

Besides the Benmingjun, the Chijunzi, and the Mujunzi, there are three more gentlemen. These three gentlemen are mainly the children of wealthy merchants. The Zujunzi is responsible for running errands, and the Carrying Junzi is responsible for providing vehicles for travel. , Guanjunzi is mainly responsible for being arty and providing poems and songs to be sung.

Benmingjun, Jijunzi, Mukunzi, Zujunzi, Cameljunzi and Kanjunzi are Roppongi Kaguanjun. In addition, there is another kind of tribute kunzi, who is responsible for paying tribute. This person is There are many, these tribute gentlemen are the wallets of the oirans who travel. They are responsible for providing all the oiran's expenses, but it is extremely difficult to meet the oiran.

These tribute gentlemen may not be rich, but they must be willing to give everything they have to the courtesans, and the courtesans don't even bother to look at these tribute gentlemen.

The Gong Junzi is not among the Six Gentlemen, because the licking dog is not served on the table.

Among these miscellaneous gentlemen, only the natal gentleman can kiss and be fragrant. Occasionally, the natal gentleman will call the oiran into the house to play and sing.

“Are you crazy?” After hearing this, Li Yougong was stunned. He wished he could invite Zhu Chengli to come immediately! Isn't this nonsense?

Yan Shixuan exhaled heavily and said: "Fighting for wealth and extravagance has become a common practice in Songjiang Mansion. The absurd ways of the Japanese country have spread to the Ming Dynasty. These powerful and powerful disciples, They followed suit immediately, and the country of Xuewa established a Songjiang Oiran Ranking. Twelve people were on the list, and they named themselves after the month of December. In fact, they were not admiring the Oiran, but just to appear rich. "

Tap tap tap! The sound of footsteps was heard, and Li Yougong looked towards the end of the street with a solemn expression. There were many people running towards Xiafei Street.

Is the Hailong Gang seeking revenge from Yan Shixuan?

The accompanying Banzi and Tiqi stretched out their hands to their muskets and looked around, looking for favorable terrain for the battle. A lightly-armed and simple Tiqi climbed over the wall in one run. , disappeared into the sea of ​​people. This Tiqi is the Marquis of Duntai Yuan, and is now going out to deliver a message.

When the fight begins, it only takes half a quarter of an hour for the government officials to arrive, and three hours for the navy's elite soldiers to arrive.

A group of people dressed as servants, holding long wooden clubs as thick as fists, rushed into Xiafei Street. They did not beat anyone or rob anyone, but rushed straight to the oiran convoy. There were four people inside. The sedan chair quickly passed in front of Li Yougong and others.

Li Yougong was ready to fight, but none of the servants even looked at him.

"The road is full of twists and turns! What a bastard! Climb over here for me!" An old man with white hair walked down from the sedan chair, holding a cane in his hand. He looked very bad, with a look in his eyes. They were all bloodshot and roared with great rage.

"Is this?" Li Yougong realized then that it was not directed at him.

Yan Shixuan really knew this person. He said succinctly: "The old man of the Qu family, Qu Hexing, is the Qu family in Qujiawan. Originally, the county government offices were all owned by other people. Later, Qu Hexing The land deed was sent to the county government. It is considered a wealthy family in Songjiang Prefecture, second only to the Sun family in Songjiang. The family owns more than 300 two-masted boats and more than 80 three-masted boats. They bought two last year. Five-masted ocean-going ship."

"Qu Hexing is Qu Daocheng's grandfather."

Li Yougong simply sorted out the relationship and said blankly: "No, that Qu He. He calls his grandson a turtle grandson, so what is he?”

"I'm a bit arrogant when I'm angry." Yan Shixuan said with a smile: "Qu Hexing is that kind of old stubborn and has a bad temper. When the sea was banned, he went to the sea to make a living."

A man with sunken eyes, He was only in his twenties, but looking at his complexion, he seemed to be in his last days, and might not be as good as Qu Hexing.

"Grandpa! What are you going to do! I just came out to play." Qu Daocheng asked loudly.

Qu Hexing's face turned red and white. He closed his eyes and waved his hand and said: "My family is unfortunate, my family is unfortunate! Beat me! If you beat me to death, it will be mine when you ask the Yamen!"

"Grandpa, you are my grandson!" Qu Daocheng was so frightened that he had no doubt that his grandfather really wanted to beat him to death!

Qu Hexing was able to lead the Qu family to eat such a big piece of meat during the voyage. In front of so many people, he naturally kept his promise.

"It's okay. Your father has three illegitimate children. No matter how embarrassed he is, he won't be as embarrassed as you! Beat me!" Qu Hexing took the fist-thick wooden stick from the hand of the servant next to him. , and beat him out.
