Chapter 99 Entrustment
After returning to Hangzhou, Cai Jing sent the four teenagers directly to the boat.
Ling Qingyu didn't go out obediently for the next few days, and asked Cai Jingfang for ephedra, white peony, kudzu, myrrh, mugwort, and mugwort for five people to train, preparing to take them on board to train them as boat masters. After all the goods on the Fengshen were shipped, they would board the ship and leave. .
Although Mo Liu's mission was not taken inside the Red Mansion, there was no guarantee that the Xie family would not come to the Red Mansion again after seeing that she was still alive. Yan San was actually a little anxious. For a character like Mo Liu, even ten of them would be a piece of cake for him. But if the Tianzi team and the Dizi team were to be deployed, it would be really difficult to deal with. He just hoped that before setting off, , the Xie family would not notice and place an order directly to Red House.
"Now, Yan San," Ling Qingyu pointed at Yan San and said, "Ying Shisan said that Xie Tingxuan knew Mo Liu, so he went to find Mo Liu directly. Does that mean that he hasn't actually found the Red Mansion yet? Then we give the Red Mansion an order to kill Xie Tingxuan, okay?"
Yan San was stunned and turned to look at her. Ling Qingyu frowned and said, "I asked Xiaocai that Xie Tingxuan and the Xie family are not very compatible, so they thought of developing their own development in Quanzhou. As a result, they were unlucky and encountered a big disaster first. , the ship that came out later was probably hijacked by pirates, so he couldn't hold his head high among his direct descendants. He had the idea of killing Xiaocai and me, which is understandable. I think, if it was just his own idea to kill us, then The direct descendants of the Xie family may not know, so it’s better for us to strike first.”
Looking at Yan San's worried eyes, Ling Qingyu smiled and said: "I also know that if the Xie family finds out that we placed this order, then we will be directly hostile. However, in fact, aren't we directly hostile now? I have With Lingjiacun and the Mint, we are bound to gain market control in Southeast Asia, which means we are directly confronting them, and I don’t want to sit back and wait for them to take action.”
"I know." Yan San stood up and wanted to leave, but was held back by Ling Qingyu.
"Don't go. I'll ask Zheng Xi to find a stranger. Apart from Hangzhou, are there any other places where Red Mansion can take orders?" Ling Qingyu asked. Although the teenagers later did not mention Yan San's matter, Ling Qingyu could guess from Mo Liu's behavior that Yan San and Honglou must have been enemies, so she would rather not go out than let Yan San be recognized. .
Yan San was stunned for a moment, then understood her worries, and couldn't help but smile: "Wherever there are red-sleeved tricks, the beggar at the front door will take orders."
The corner of Ling Qingyu's mouth curled up unconsciously. Sure enough, the killer and the **** were the same family!
"We are not the only people Xie Tingxuan has provoked." After listening to Ling Qingyu's words, Ding Dong, who had taken a break from his shift with Ram, said: "When I went back to Quanzhou last time, my adoptive father said that Xie Tingxuan owed a lot of money to get the goods. As a result, He went out for several fleets but never came back, and the accumulated payment amounted to millions. Many small merchants came to him for money, but were framed by him. Even the Luo family in Lingnan dared not pay back the money. "
A ship of goods can cost as much as 400,000 yuan, or as little as a hundred thousand yuan. A fleet of goods can have more goods. If it comes back successfully, it will naturally be ten times the profit. If something goes wrong, it will be a loss of both people and goods. In the past two years, the Xie family has suffered losses. I'm afraid it's a few million. Ling Qingyu secretly thought: Sure enough, good people are rewarded, so I was so lucky to take such a huge advantage.
"This time the Xie family is preparing to sail the fleet, it is said that several people have been invited to participate, and one family is no longer the only one." Ding Dong continued: "However, those companies are not willing to cooperate with Xie Tingxuan, and they all cooperate with direct relatives."
"I can find someone to place an order at the Health Store." Zheng Xi thought for a moment and said, "Brother Han and I have discussed the Health Store. We will open a bank store after the new year. At this time, we have no business there, but there Everyone has shops, and for a while, the Xie family couldn't find us."
"Well, anyway, you have to be careful. It's best to pay for some bodyguards or something." Ling Qingyu nodded.
"The rules of the Red Mansion are that if he takes a big order from a merchant, he usually only takes one side. If he takes an order from the Xie family, he will not take another order from the Xie family, so the money must be sufficient." After thinking about it, Yan San Said: "Give me one hundred thousand taels."
"So expensive!" Cai Jingfang, Zheng Xi and Dingdong both shouted, discussing this matter of murder. Ling Qingyu felt that it was not easy to taint Han Xie, so he arranged for him to receive the goods.
"It's not expensive. It can make Honglou stop attacking us. It's not expensive at all." Ling Qingyu knocked on the table and said.
"Without further ado, I'll go right away. Girl, I won't see you off." Zheng Xi stood up and said.
Taking out the banknote, Ling Qingyu smiled and said: "I'm afraid it will be another year before I go out this time. Zheng Xi, please hurry up and find a wife. Mother Zheng is already worried, or Green Sleeves would be good."
"The green sleeves have been reserved for eldest brother. Don't worry about it. Have a safe trip." Zheng Xi took the banknote and turned around to leave.
"Everything is almost packed, right?" Ling Qingyu asked Ding Dong after Zheng Xi left.
"Well, the amount of cargo this time is not very large. Most of it is loaded with the things on your list. The goods from Quanzhou have been loaded on the other two ships according to your instructions. The crews on the ships have been equipped. They are all The adoptive father chose it.”
Ling Qingyu nodded. In addition to the items for ocean-going, there were also many daily necessities on the list he made. They were all for Lingjia Village. He took the two ships around San La Buddha and let them bring them on their own. Just bring back the goods, and then go offshore, first control the business lines in Southeast Asia, and block some of the Xie family's financial channels, so that they can fight better in the future.
"Master." A servant saluted outside the door: "There is a man named Xiao looking for you outside."
Xiao? Xiao Rong? Ling Qingyu hurriedly said: "Please come in quickly."
The first person to come in was not Xiao Rong, but Xiao Cang, and he was half-supported.
Compared with last year, Xiao Cang was much thinner and paler. Looking at him, Ling Qingyu felt as if the wind could blow him away.
Without waiting for Xiao Cang to be polite, Ling Qingyu hurriedly asked him to sit down. He looked at the two rows of bright men standing in the front yard, wiped his sweat and asked, "Master Xiao, why are you here?" It couldn't be now. Are you here to avenge your little brat?
"Xiao came to ask Master Ling for something." Xiao Cang was about to stand up and salute, but Ling Qingyu hurriedly wanted to help him. Suddenly, he remembered that men and women were not intimate, so he quickly took a step back and said, "Master Xiao, you are welcome. If you have anything to say, just say it. , As long as I, Ling Qingyu, can do it, I will not refuse."
Xiao Cang didn't have any strength. After she said this, she sat back in the chair, took a breath, and called: "Se'er."
Xiao Se reluctantly walked out from behind him, pursed his lips and gave Ling Qingyu a salute.
Ling Qingyu's jaw almost dropped. He turned back stiffly and asked Xiao Cang, "Master Xiao, what do you mean?"
"I heard that Head Ling is going to sea soon. Xiao asked Head Ling to take his son with him." Xiao Cang looked at Ling Qingyu sincerely and said.
"Ah?" Ling Qingyu pointed at Xiao Se and asked, "Take him out to sea?"
"Yes." Xiao Cang said, then looked at her quietly for a while, and then said: "To be honest, Master Ling, you have also seen my physical condition. There are too many people eyeing the Xiao family now. If Se'er stays Dazhou is too dangerous. In fact, you know, Mr. Ling, that last time I met Mr. Ling, I only have such a son. I hope Mr. Ling can sympathize with Xiao's feelings." If it is not true that he is not sure that he can protect him, If you have a son, how can you want him to take risks? But Ling Qingyu must be a capable person if he can come back from the catastrophe. Going to sea is actually safer than being in Dazhou.
"But, Mr. Xiao, Ling Qingyu is going to a place that no one has been to before. It is very dangerous." Ling Qingyu said. If she just ran the old route, she wouldn't be afraid, but she wanted to challenge the Inca Empire, bring a little kid with her, and make herself suffer!
"No matter how dangerous it is, it can't be compared to the danger in Dazhou." Xiao Cang closed his eyes and said: "Master Ling, the Queen Mother's decree is on the way, and she wants Se'er to enter the palace. If Se'er really goes in, I'm afraid there will be no two." He will suddenly become ill and die."
"Isn't Mrs. Xiao the princess?" Ling Qingyu asked curiously, isn't she related to the emperor?
"Xiao's father-in-law is not the Queen Mother's son." Xiao Cang said with a faint smile: "Now Se'er is too young and has no ability to protect himself. Xiao will not ask Master Ling to take him with him all the time. It only takes three years. After three years, Xiao Se will definitely Will return to the Xiao family."
Depend on! What does this mean? I have to take care of him for another three years! Ling Qingyu's eyes widened unconsciously.
"Daddy, I don't want to go with her. I will go to see mother with daddy!" Xiao Se, who had been pouting, threw herself into Xiao Cang's arms and cried: "She is a bad woman, she will definitely bully me, and she will I will throw it into the sea to feed the fish, daddy, I will learn business from Uncle Rong, and I will be very good."
Xiao Cang patted Xiao Se's back and looked at Ling Qingyu with increasingly sad eyes. After a while, he said: "Okay, let's go to see your mother together. We don't have to wait for the Queen Mother's order to arrive. Let's go today." When I get back, we will go see your mother together."
Seeing that the two father and son tended to cry loudly, Ling Qingyu sighed unconsciously and said: "Master Xiao, to be honest with you, it is indeed dangerous for us to go out this time. If you still want Mr. Ling to follow you, then I I will also try my best to keep him safe.”
Xiao Se raised his head and stared at Ling Qingyu with a pair of eyes red from crying, asking you to mind your own business!
"Well, I really want to thank Master Ling. These," Xiao Cang pointed to the men in the front yard and said, "are the iron guards of the Xiao family. They all followed Master Ling on board the ship. You can use them as you please. My little boy is a bit naughty. , please also ask Mr. Ling to discipline him more."
"In addition," Xiao Rong, who had been standing nearby, said, "I heard that the head of the Ling family is going to open a silver shop, and our Xiao family has several shops that are being sold." After Xiao Se leaves, most of the Xiao family's properties will be transferred underground, leaving some It doesn't matter if the shop is owned by the Ling Family Trading Company.
This is great. Ling Qingyu immediately beamed and said, "In that case, would you like shopkeeper Xiao to discuss it with Cai Jingfang later? We will board the ship and set off now."
