Chapter 390 Wakoku Merchant Article 3

The climate by the sea is a bit humid, but there is one advantage, that is, it is convenient to eat seafood.

"Is this a big yellow croaker?"

Fang Xing picked up a yellow croaker weighing at least three or four catties and asked.

The middleman who delivered the seafood said with a flattering smile, "Uncle, it is the big yellow flower."

Fuck! Such a big wild yellow croaker, and there are so many of them.

"Steam."

"Pomfret? Braised in brown sauce."

"Hairtail..."

"Grouper...yellow lip fish."

"Uncle, this is Wangchao..."

Fang Xing looked at the carts of seafood, and said numbly, "All are taken."

The man heard the words and said happily: "Thank you uncle, from now on, the younger ones will come once a day, and the younger ones can cover everything the army needs."

"Cai Ashun, come here and get the money."

There was a table next to it, Huang Zhong settled the accounts in twos and twos, and Xin Laoqi shouted with a money bag.

The middleman walked over nervously, Xin Laoqi took out the silver from the purse and weighed it.

"A little more, it's your hard work."

Cai Ashun didn't expect to get the money immediately, and it was silver, so he was full of gratitude.

From Jinling to here, it is inconvenient to carry a large amount of copper coins or precious banknotes.

Moreover, it is close to the sea, and the Japanese country is rich in silver, and even the government turns a blind eye to the use of silver.

After Cai A Shun happily left, Fang Xing confessed: "I will tell the cook to take care of the swim bladders of those yellow-lipped fish. I will be useful."

That thing will be worth gold in the future, and there is no market for it.

"My lord, I caught a Japanese boat."

Fang Xing was watching those local kitchen helpers packing up the seafood, and Fang Wu hurried over.

"How did you catch it?"

Japanese pirates generally do not appear alone, basically in groups.

"Master, we placed the telescope on several mountains. As soon as we found the ship, the brothers immediately waved the flag, and the younger one led the people and captured the Japanese."

"How many? When did the Japanese become so bold?"

This is not the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and the guards have not been completely decadent. If the number of Japanese pirates is small, how dare they go ashore!

After arriving at the lobby, Fang Xing saw a few pairs of short legs as soon as he entered.

There were three short men kneeling under the hall, looking from behind, they were only wearing a half-length dress, with their buttocks exposed.

Looking at the Mediterranean hairstyles of these three people, Fang Xing no longer had any doubts.

This is the Japanese!

Among the three, two were dark and thin, and the middle one looked fatter, and his eyes were constantly rolling, appearing extremely cunning.

Fang Xing sat down, Huang Zhong immediately shouted and asked: "Who are you waiting for?"

Hearing this, the two Japanese men on the side looked blank, but the man in the middle quickly replied: "My lord, the younger Santiao is a businessman, not a pirate."

three?

Even Fang Xing was a little confused at this moment, and upon seeing Zhang Jin, he explained: "Uncle, the Japanese people have no sense of shame, and they don't even allow common people to use their surnames."

Tut tut!

Fang Xing and Huang Zhong exchanged glances, Huang Zhong asked, "What proof do you have?"

Since Ashikaga Yoshichi came to power, he closed the door to Daming, and said disdainfully: Our country does not need to be inferior to any country, let alone obey the orders of other countries.

So where did this businessman come from?

"My lord, the young one has been doing business in Taizhou for seven or eight years, and many people know the young one."

Fang Xing glanced at Zhang Jin, and Zhang Jin immediately went to ask him who he knew.

"The Zhao family in Fucheng..."

Following San Tiao's explanation, Fang Xing's complexion gradually darkened.

Sure enough, they are all masters who only want money!

"What do you sell?"

"Small... small..."

Fang Wu sneered and said, "Master, this man's boat is full of silver."

"Rich man!"

Fang Xing said lightly.

Santiao didn't dare to move his eyeballs, and said tremblingly, "My lord, the younger one came to exchange copper coins, and never bought or sold other things. If there was, the younger one would be willing to accept the crime.

"

Zhang Jin immediately bowed and said, "Uncle, the Japanese people like our Daming's copper coins, and they will grab them every time they see them."

"Rob……"

Fang Xing sneered, Santiao finally understood what Zhang Jin said.

This is an uncle of Daming!

The Japanese people envy the lives of the people of Ming Dynasty very much, and in their eyes, the honorable relatives of the Ming Dynasty feel that they are almost like gods.

This uncle must only need one look to kill him!

Thinking of this, Santiao prostrated himself on the ground without hesitation: "The little one is willing to work for uncle!"

Fang Xing rapped on the table, and said slowly: "Using the price difference between the two places to extort my Daming's copper coins, what should you do!"

"Small conviction."

San Tiao was overjoyed when he heard Fang Xing's tone was calm.

"It's good to be guilty."

Fang Xing got up and said, "All his money was confiscated... um... Forget it, I still have some treasures here that I want to find someone to sell..."

Santiao was scared to pee by the previous sentence, and after hearing the latter sentence, he hurriedly responded: "Uncle, I am willing."

Fang Xing said to Zhang Jin expressionlessly: "Lock them all up and talk about it tomorrow."

Back at the back, Fang Xing confessed: "Go and find a craftsman who makes jewelry."

Xiaodao went away in a daze, and brought a man with him not long after.

"Little Chen Li, I pay my respects to Uncle...Uncle."

Fang Xing played with a piece of cut aluminum alloy in his hand, "Get up, let's try how this thing can be processed into jewelry."

Chen Li hurriedly took the aluminum alloy, weighed it, and began to make jewelry on the spot with doubts.

Seeing that Chen Li was struggling to build it, Fang Xing took out a set of tools and said nonchalantly, "Try this, if it works, I'll give it to you."

Sawbows cut through material, files of various sizes trim edges...

Rings, earrings, headgear...

When these sparkling jewelry were displayed in front of Fang Xing's eyes, he said reservedly: "Tell me, is this thing worth anything?"

"It's worth it! It's so worth it!"

Xiaodao picked up a ring and put it on his middle finger, shook it a few times against the light outside, and praised: "My lord, this jewelry looks better than silver."

Huang Zhong also nodded and said: "Uncle, this thing is suitable for comparing the price with gold!"

Fang Xing said with a smile, "It's not easy to mine this thing, and it's even more difficult to smelt it, but it's still a bit worse than gold."

After putting away the jewelry, Fang Xing told Chen Li to stay in the camp for the past few days to make jewelry.

"Uncle, why don't we call more people?"

Huang Zhong asked.

"Create something first and then talk about it."

...

In the afternoon, Xu Fangda finally came back with his father Xu Qing.

"Uncle Wanan..."

Fang Xing stopped Xu Qing's bowing ceremony, and said with a smile, "There are only teachers and students here, what is the uncle here?"

The two sides exchanged a few words, and then the apprenticeship ceremony was held.

As soon as the apprenticeship ceremony was over, Fang Xing took out a book and said solemnly, "No one else has seen this book except my disciple, so you should keep it safe."

Xu Fangda took a look, and couldn't help saying happily: "Is it the second volume?"

"Exactly." Fang Xing confessed: "You can study in the camp in the near future, and if you don't understand anything, come and ask as a teacher."

After sending Xu Qing away, Xu Fangda settled down in the camp, holding a book and studying every day, and asking Fang Xing if he didn't understand.
