Chapter 154: Crossing East to Fusang (Please Vote!!!)

Qin Hao bowed and said, "I am scared."

The official threw the memorial in his hand on the table and glared at Qin Hao: "Are you scared? You are so bold to detain the prince's family. Do you know how big a crime it is?"

Qin Hao said loudly: "Guan family, what reason does the prince have for detaining my father? I am just treating him in his own way. Just because he is the prince and because he is about to inherit the throne, I Can the Marquis of Dongchang Mansion just throw in the towel and let others slaughter it?"

"Bold!" Mr. Han's face turned ugly when he heard Qin Hao mention the succession to the throne. They finally convinced the officials to make up their minds and never allow Qin Hao to waver.

The official also slapped the table: "How outrageous!"

Qin Hao asked unhurriedly: "If I come to the palace to ask for help from an official, will the official stand up for me?"

The official looked at Qin Hao's resolute face and couldn't help but sigh. He hadn't seen such a high-spirited young courtier for many years. Unfortunately, he was already old!

"Then you shouldn't use this method. Do you know how much trouble this will bring to Dongchang Hou Mansion?" The official's words seemed to be reproachful, but his tone revealed an inexplicable flavor.

Qin Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the officials did not want to punish him severely.

"Being reckless and reckless. The Privy Council is in charge of the world's military. You, the Privy Council, should not act like a Privy Council. During the palace examination, didn't you propose using the Fuso Silver Mine to solve the money shortage in the Song Dynasty in your article? So you will be punished by going to Fuso to perform meritorious deeds." !" The official looked like he hated iron.

Qin Hao couldn't help but bow down to the official family after hearing this. This kind old man had good intentions.

It seemed that he was removed from his post as punishment, but in fact he was transferred away from the center of the storm to prevent King Yong from attacking him immediately after he succeeded to the throne.

"I obey the decree."

The official waved his hand, indicating that Qin Hao could leave.

Qin Hao bowed slightly: "Guardians, take care."

Looking at Qin Hao's leaving figure, the official suddenly smiled and said to Mr. Han beside him: "Look at this boy, he is really not afraid of tigers. Fusang is a wild land. If other nobles heard about it, they would definitely beg for mercy, but he It’s like a sweet treat.”

Grand Prime Minister Han complimented: "In this way, His Majesty can live up to his plan for him."

The official's face suddenly looked a little melancholy. How could he not know what kind of virtue King Yong was? He was not the material to be a wise king, but he had no time. He didn't know how long he could live. The foundation of the Song Dynasty Someone must succeed, otherwise the world will be in chaos, and the people will suffer.

"If he can really solve the money shortage in the Song Dynasty, it will be a great achievement. When the time comes, with you husbands and queens protecting you, King Yong will not dare to be too presumptuous. If he cannot do it, his life in Fusang will be safe. .”

"Xiangong Han, the power of the Song Dynasty depends on you!"

The official's tone became a little sad and angry. He asked himself that he had been diligent in his life, had never implemented harsh government, and lived with the people, but why did all his sons die without being raised?

Why can't you give him a little more time? Why can't he be succeeded by someone?

Mr. Han fell to his knees, sobbing like a child.

When he got home and explained the situation, Mrs. Qin Liu immediately became unhappy and wanted to go to the palace to plead for mercy.

"Fusang is a barbaric land. Isn't this just a ban? Moreover, the journey is far away and the sea is very stormy. If anything happens,

Mrs. Qin Liu burst into tears.

Qin Junye also gritted his teeth and said, "If it doesn't work out, please ask Ningyuan Houfu to make peace with him. The officials have the most trust in him and he will definitely be able to take back his life."

After saying that, he was about to stand up, but Qin Hao quickly stopped him.

"Father, mother, this matter is a foregone conclusion and cannot be undone. Moreover, the officials are doing this to preserve the Dongchang Hou Mansion. Think about the virtues of King Yong. If he succeeds to the throne, will he let it go?"

Qin Liu and Qin Junye couldn't help but look gloomy when they heard this. Yes, once King Yong succeeds to the throne, he will become an official. Honored nobles are different from civil servants. If the punishment is not good enough, it is for scholars. Honored nobles are not among them. I think It is too easy to rectify the Dongchang Hou Mansion.

Qin Hao saw that the two of them were worried, so he comforted them: "Actually, there is no need to worry so much. In our dynasty, the officials and the scholar-bureaucrats share the world, and the officials cannot have their own way. And looking at King Yong's face, he doesn't look like he will live a hundred years. Yes, maybe his destiny can’t support this incredible wealth?”

Qin Liu and Qin Junye only considered their son to be merciful, and now they can only think of the good.

"When will we set off?" Qin Junye asked with a sigh.

Qin Hao shook his head: "Let's wait for the decree to come down. It's not clear yet."

As he said this, Qin Hao remembered something again and bowed to Mrs. Qin Liu: "Mother, there is one more thing that I need to do for me before I leave."

Qin Liu asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"

Qin Hao said: "I don't know how long it has been since I left. I asked my mother to go to Yu Mansion to ask for a hand in marriage for my child."

When Qin Liu heard that it was already this time, he was still thinking about marrying a wife, so he suddenly said angrily: "I'm afraid if we are in trouble now, it's too late for others to hide from us!"

"If that's the case, it means that the child has no fate with Miss Yanran. He can wait until the child comes back from a successful career before marrying another wife." Qin Hao also wanted to see what the attitude of the Yu family was. If they can't share the joys and sorrows, it doesn't matter if they don't get married. .

Qin Liushi shook her head secretly, it was already this time, she was still thinking about making great achievements, and if she could save her life, it would be great if she came back with all her health intact!

"Okay, mother will go and ask you with this old face."

Qin Junye also accepted this reality and said to Qin Hao: "Take away some of the soldiers at home. In places like Fusang and other places with dangerous mountains and rivers, it is always good to have more of your own people around."

Qin Hao did not object. In fact, he had little confidence in the Song Dynasty's army. The Song Dynasty's army was basically invincible externally, and it was a mess internally. Even a small character like Fang La could make the Song Dynasty's chickens and dogs restless. It was really a crotch. .

Judging from the incident of detaining Princess Yong, the combat effectiveness of the Hou Mansion's soldiers is quite good. With such a group of backbones, it is not impossible to build a strong army.

Qin Hao stood in front of all the soldiers and said calmly: "Fusang has a long way to go and is a wild land. Maybe we will never be able to return to the Song Dynasty alive. If you want to quit, it's still too late."

No one wavered, Cui Zhi cupped his hands and said: "We are willing to follow the young marquis in front of the horse and behind the horse!"

Then a group of fifty soldiers shouted in unison: "I am willing to go through fire and water for the young marquis."

Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand: "Okay, since you are not afraid of death, I will also give you a promise here. From now on, we will be brothers and sisters. Whenever there is a war, I will rush to the front and never abandon you." If any sibling dies in battle, the Hou Mansion will definitely take care of the aftermath, and the parents, wife and children will be supported by the Hou Mansion throughout their lives."

"In addition, everyone here, go to the accountant to collect fifty taels of housing allowance. Remember, this money is not for you to squander. It is to be used for your parents, wives and children. If I find out, who will use it to gamble and escort prostitutes?" , I will not take mercy lightly."

"promise!"

All the soldiers happily went to the accounting office to collect the money, fifty taels, they had never seen so much money in their lives.

Although Mrs. Qin Liu felt a little distressed, she risked her life for her son's safety.

On the other side, Yu Mansion.

Yu Yanran was embroidering handkerchiefs in her boudoir when she suddenly heard her personal maid saying in a hurry: "Miss, miss, something big has happened."

"Jade, you.

However, wanting to teach herself a lesson, Jade hurriedly said: "Miss, something really big happened this time. Someone came to ask for marriage."

Yu Yanran said "Ah", her finger was pricked by the needle, and she didn't care about the pain, and quickly asked: "Whose marriage are you asking for? Second lady or me? Who is here to ask for marriage?"

Jade smiled evilly and said, "Miss, I'm thirsty. Can I ask for a glass of water?"

"You damn girl, you're going to rebel, right? Drink quickly! Say it after you drink it!" Yu Yanran rolled her eyes at Jade.

Jade took a few sips of water, and then said slowly: "Miss, the Marquis of Dongchang has come to ask for a hand in marriage. I am asking for a kiss from the miss."

"You, what did you say?" Yu Yanran was confused for a moment, and she thought she had heard wrong.

Jade repeated it again, Yu Yanran calmed down, but still couldn't believe it: "How is it possible? Dongchang Hou Mansion? Young Lord Marquis?"

"It must be the last polo match. The young Marquis helped you win back the hairpin. It must have been at that time that the young Marquis fell in love with the young lady at first sight." The fantasy scenes in Jade's mind are enough to fill a script. .

Yu Yanran's face turned red with embarrassment: "You damn girl, are you ashamed or not and can you say such things?"

"Then, girl, do you want to get married?" Jade asked jokingly.

Yu Yanran:…….

Of course she thought, she could never dream of such a good husband, and her mind could not help but recall the scenes at the polo match.

"Yu Yanran, Yu Yanran, are you ashamed or not?"

But I still couldn't help but think about it in my mind.

However, at this time, in the front hall of Yu Mansion, Mr. Yu decisively rejected the intermediary's offer of peace.

"With such a high status in Dongchang Houfu, our Yu family may not be able to reach it."

In fact, if it had been before, Lord Yu would have definitely agreed without saying a word. The legitimate son of the Dongchang Hou Mansion won three yuan in a row at the age of fifteen. Where could he find a son-in-law with such conditions?

It's a pity that it's not good for him to offend anyone, but he offended King Yong. Can King Yong be offended casually? That is the future official family.

The middleman probably understood what was going on, and after returning, he explained the situation again.

Mrs. Qin Liu comforted Qin Hao and said, "That girl doesn't have this blessing. Brother Hao, don't worry. Mother will find a good one for you."

Qin Hao didn't hesitate. He chose Yu Yanran mainly because she had a gentle temperament, would be easy to get along with in the future, and would be kind to the children at home. Since the Yu family refused, there was no need for him to hang himself from this tree.

I originally thought this matter would end there.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the old lady of Yufu came to visit in person and mentioned the marriage again.

It turned out that just after Mr. Yu rejected the Dongchang Hou Mansion, Yu Yanran learned the news and went to Mrs. Yu to cry out in sadness.

Mrs. Yu has met Qin Hao and has a good impression of him. I heard that this is still happening? He quickly called Mr. Yu to come forward and lectured him.

"Father, the Dongchang Houfu has offended the future official family. Marrying Yanran will not only push her into the pit of fire, but it will also hurt our Yu family in the future."

Before Mr. Yu could speak, Mrs. Xu Xian jumped out.

Mrs. Yu raised her eyelids and sneered: "Are you afraid that it will make it difficult for your biological daughter to get married?"

Mrs. Yu was speechless, and Mr. Yu quickly said: "Father, what are you talking about? Isn't the second girl also your direct granddaughter?"

Mrs. Yu glared at her son: "By the way, I forgot about you. Are you afraid that having such a son-in-law will make it difficult for you to climb the ladder in the future?"

Mr. Yu also said nothing. If he didn't say that he knew his son better than his father, Master Yu's words really spoke to his heart.

Grand Master Yu pointed at her son and scolded her with hatred: "Thankfully, you are also a person who has read books about saints and sages. All you can think about is getting promoted and getting rich. A real man does what he wants and what he doesn't do. You are like a person who is just trying to study." , what qualifications do you have to stand in the court and ask for orders for the livelihood of the people?"

"If you want to talk more, I will submit a memorial to the officials and take off your red robe, so that your corpse will not be eaten without food, which will stain the integrity of the scholar!"

Now Mr. Yu didn't dare to speak anymore. He knew that his father had always been upright, and he would really kill his relatives when he was angered.

Mrs. Yu wanted to say something else, but Mrs. Yu glared.

"What? You still want to disobey your elders? Open the ancestral hall and give me a divorce note to divorce her!"

Mrs. Yu was defeated in an instant. If she was divorced, she would be embarrassed to see others, and the future prospects of her daughter and son would also be ruined.

Mrs. Yu's fighting ability was extraordinary, and she settled the matter in an instant. Mrs. Yu took the initiative to come to apologize and renew the marriage.

Mrs. Qin Liu was originally unhappy, but seeing that Mrs. Yu's attitude was very sincere, her anger subsided.

The marriage was finalized.

At the same time, the official's decree also came down, and Qin Hao was assigned the position of Zhaowu Colonel, which was still the sixth rank, but this official position could lead the army.

The officials also transferred troops from three capitals to Qin Hao from Beidaying. Each one has 100 people, which means a total of 300 people. Beidaying is considered a relatively combat-effective army. Many soldiers were stationed there. Crossing the northern border, being able to survive in such a complicated environment requires two brushes.

In addition to soldiers, the government also allocated a team of fifty craftsmen to Qin Hao from the Ministry of Industry, of which the largest number were blacksmiths. There were also masons, carpenters, and even those who specialized in firing porcelain for the official kilns.

The troops were scheduled to leave in half a month, so it was naturally too late for Qin Hao and Yu Yanran's wedding. In the end, the two families discussed and decided to give away the betrothal gift first, and then decided on the wedding, even if it was an engagement, and waited until Qin Hao came back. Come to the door again to welcome the bride.

In the next ten days, the two families were extremely busy, and Qin Hao was like a wooden man at the mercy of others. In ancient times, there were so many etiquettes for getting engaged that it was terrifying.

What: Accepting a lottery, asking for a name, accepting a gift, and accepting a levy. After this set of procedures, Qin Hao also felt overwhelmed. Fortunately, it was more troublesome to marry the first wife. After that, he could just go through the motions of taking in a concubine. .

During this period, Qin Hao also met Yu Yanran, secretly of course. Yu Yanran also embroidered a peace charm for Qin Hao, and Qin Hao gave her a jade pendant he carried with him.

The day of departure soon came, and Qin Hao and his party took a mighty official ship to Ningbo. Of course, in the Song Dynasty, it was called: Mingzhou.

In fact, the Song Dynasty began to trade with Japan very early. At this time, the Song Dynasty was a bit like Britain in later generations. Navigation trade was very developed. Wherever there was money to be made, Song Dynasty merchants were everywhere.

Going from Mingzhou to Japan is a relatively common route and relatively safe.

Qin Hao and his party did not set off immediately after arriving in Mingzhou. Instead, they have been training in Mingzhou for a month. After all, most of these northern soldiers are not familiar with water and have no experience in boating. Let alone encounter enemies at sea. The wind and waves alone are enough for them to drink from a pot.

Qin Hao directly rented a large maritime merchant ship and let the sailors wander offshore every day. All the soldiers, including Cui Zhi, almost vomited their intestines.

As for swimming, you can kick people off the boat, choke them to death, and then fish them out again. Naturally, you will learn it quickly. When faced with the threat of death, people's potential is unlimited.

A month later, the large ship carried Qin Hao and his party across the ocean to Japan, accompanied by two merchant ships. At this time, Japan was still in the shogunate era, governed by the Fujiwara family, and was basically closed to the outside world, rarely communicating with the outside world. .

Qin Hao's goal this time is to "see the silver mountain in stone". The output of this silver mountain is astonishingly high, accounting for one-third of the world's silver mine output.

Of course, "Iwami Ginzan" had not yet been developed at this time. Its location was in the southwest of Honshu Island. During the Song Dynasty, it was still a place where birds did not poop.

Surrounded by some relatively small daimyo lords, Qin Hao's regular army of 350 people, equipped with all kinds of equipment, was simply a dimensionality reduction strike.

However, Qin Hao did not directly eliminate these big names. After all, as an outsider, his actions were too reckless and could easily cause panic. It would also be troublesome if these big names gathered together to fight.

And his purpose is not to kill, but to grab money. No matter how big the reserves of Shi Jian Yin Mountain are, they still need people to dig them. We can't let people like Qin Hao do it, right?

Therefore, Qin Hao directly summoned these big names and promised to provide them with various living supplies and medicines, and asked them to help recruit miners.

Hearing Qin Hao speak fluent Japanese, these daimyo were surprised and felt respected at the same time. At the same time, seeing the majestic soldiers in Qin Hao's camp, with a big stick on one side and a carrot on the other, they naturally knew what to choose.

Of course, these daimyo are not good things. The miners they sent are actually skinny refugees. In the agricultural era, Japan did not have much land that could be cultivated. In addition, a large amount of land was occupied by daimyo and the samurai class. People are living in dire straits.

Although Qin Hao's mine was a bit tiring from work, he was able to eat well, and soon a large number of refugees came after hearing the news.

And after the sweetness of these names, they started to live the life of the paper drunk gold fans in the minds of Dongying people. Breakfast dares to add small fish to dry. At the same time, they also rely more on Qin Hao's supplies. Most farmers were sent to Qin Hao's mine within the scope of their jurisdictions, and they also began to plunder the surrounding areas.

The whole process Qin Hao did not come forward. In such an era of lack of information, when Fujiwara got the news, Qin Hao's mine had begun to take shape, and the miners alone had more than 3,000 people.

Qin Hao also intends to conduct military training for these miners. Originally, these miners were refugees who did not have enough to eat. Now they can not only have enough to eat in the mine, but also occasionally eat dried fish and pork. It is like living in paradise. Fujiwara dared to destroy their happy life.

Without Qin Hao, as long as they give them a knife, they can lay down the army sent by Fujiwara.

After a few games, Kato Fujiwara lost a lot of losses, and there were no last resort. You could only find Qin Hao negotiations. In the end, the two parties agreed that Qin Hao would permanently obtain the right to mining Yinshan. Essence

Under the huge reserves of Shi Jianyin Mountain, this material is not even nine cows.

At this time, a terrible incident was also happening.

立 is about to be registered as the prince. Once the official family dies, the Mo Su can inherit Dadong.

However, King Yan naturally would not sit still, and Jian Rongfei carried out a palace coup to kill the family's family as much as possible, and at the same time resigned from the official family to abdicate.

A small palace woman took the blood and was about to escape the palace. She met Ming Lan on the road. The little palace woman died in the escape, and Ming Lan fled alone. She encountered Gu Tingyu and Zhao Zongquan and his son outside the city.

The content of the blood was to let Zhao Zongquan succeed in the throne.

Under the persuasion of Gu Tingyu and his son, Zhao Zongquan finally gritted his teeth and took the soldiers to the soldiers to transfer the king of the soldiers.

In the end, under the fight of Gu Tingyu, he rescued the official family and the queen, and killed the king. Zhao Zongquan was registered as the prince. After the official family collapsed, Zhao Zongquan succeeded.

The entire Song Dynasty Hall also opened a new chapter.
