Chapter 402 Military spending has fallen
"Boy, I'll make a deal with you, what do you think?"
Gongshuji showed a rare smirk, which made Hu Ye feel cold behind his back. He felt that if he made a deal with such an old fox, he would definitely be cheated of his underwear. Dealing with Zhu Yuanzhang fully demonstrated this.
"I think it's better to forget it. It's late at night now, so sir, go back to your room to rest." Hu Ye issued an order to expel guests, so he didn't dare to make a deal with such an old fox.
"Are you sure? This is a transaction worth tens of thousands of taels. If you agree, the little emperor's military pay will be settled." Gongshuji stood up, said casually, and then prepared to leave.
"Sir, don't worry, I'll make a pot of hot tea now."
Hu Ye's attitude changed immediately. Just kidding, how could the meat delivered to his mouth be let go at will? Isn't we just anxious for Zhu Yunwen's military pay? If we couldn't make up enough money, I wonder how Zhu Yunwen would deal with him. Maybe he would have to go back and forth like Yun Zichen, on Baiyu Island and Jinjiangkou, and he wouldn't know how he would die at that time.
Gongshu Ji smiled like a successful person, and then turned around and walked back. He knew that Hu Ye would be interested. He would not miss such a win-win situation.
"Mr. Gongshu, let's talk about our deal."
Hu Ye came up with a pot of hot tea, poured a cup for Gongshuji himself, and then asked.
"What? Why don't you drive me away?"
Gongshuji smiled and picked up the teacup and savored it slowly.
"Sir, don't be accustomed to it. It's all the kid's fault. Please forgive me." Hu Ye's face was filled with a smile.
"My conditions are very simple. I want to go to the overseas gentleman you mentioned."
Gongshuji put down his teacup and said to Hu Ye very seriously.
Hu Ye was pouring tea and didn't know that the tea cup was full. After the hot boiled water flowing down the table burned his instep, Hu Ye came back to his senses.
"Sir. Are you not kidding? Didn't I tell you before that the overseas fairy mountain is thousands of miles away, and the current conditions are not enough. And there is no life in ten deaths, so don't joke with the boy now."
Hu Ye smiled whisperedly and wiped off the tea on the table with a rag, thinking about Gongshu Ji's words in his heart, not knowing what this old man knew.
"Boy, don't pretend to be garlic. I know you have been to the overseas fairy mountain, otherwise you will not know so clearly. It is just the same as the legend I know. So since you can go to the overseas fairy mountain, you will definitely take me there. As long as you take me with you next time you go to the overseas fairy mountain, I will promise to help you get the money you need tomorrow. Isn't this transaction too much, right?"
Gongshuji spoke in that very tempting language, as if Hu Ye could not refute it.
"Sir, have you heard of the legend of the overseas fairy mountains?" Hu Ye looked at Gongshuji in surprise.
"Of course I have heard of it, because some people have said that outside of overseas, there are Kunpeng, which is bigger than a house, and there is a place where there is no darkness in your life. There is also a hell that will never be bright in your life. In line with that description, there is only the overseas fairy mountain you mentioned. So when you said that day, I'm sure you have been to the overseas fairy mountain. How about it, do you agree to this transaction or not?"
Hu Ye frowned. According to the plan, after Zhu Di ascended the throne, Zheng He's fleet should do it, but it was not that easy to sail to South America.
But it seems that if you don’t agree to the public and lose yourself today, you will not be able to stop the situation.
"Sir, I have never been to the overseas fairy mountain. The things I know are only told by my master. But I do know how to go to the overseas fairy mountain, but I have a few points to tell you."
"First, the journey to Xianshan overseas is long and it is all sea routes. As long as there is a little accident, the ship will be destroyed and the people will be killed. You have to think about it."
"Secondly, although my description of overseas fairy mountains is exaggerated, it is still inseparable, and the mortality rate is extremely high. If your mechanical bird has not yet flown into the sky, it is possible that you will never see your mechanical bird flying into the sky in your life, so you must also consider this."
"Third, I do plan to go to the overseas fairy mountain, but that was several years later. If the teacher could wait for these years and could agree to the above two points, I would agree to the transaction." Hu Ye said three points in one breath and began to pour tea for himself.
Gongshuji agreed without even considering the exam, and then said, "When Qin Shihuang, he sent Xu Fu to the east and found the Penglai Immortal Island. At that time, the ancestor also built a fast-moving boat to explore the immortal island outside the Penglai Immortal Island. But after going to sea, he never came back. Therefore, our Gongshu family, in addition to studying and improving the mechanism, has another mission, which is to find an immortal island for the ancestor."
"Now with the news about overseas fairy islands, how could I miss it?"
Hu Ye rolled his eyes, what did Xu Fu find Penglai Immortal Island?
He really didn't want to tell Gongshuji that Xu Fu found the so-called Penglai Immortal Island, which is now being ruled by a group of Japanese rulers, and his plan was to let the Ming Dynasty control the Penglai Immortal Island.
In the end, Hu Ye still didn't tell the truth. People always need to have some thoughts. If they expose Gongshu's thoughts, not only will the money he made up, but they may also collapse. Who will build a precise plane for themselves?
The transaction is settled. Tomorrow, Gongshuji will take Hu Ye to get the money. Hu Ye only needs to agree to take Gongshuji with him next time when he goes to the overseas fairy mountain.
In general, Hu Ye thought that this transaction was made by himself. Anyway, Zheng He would have to go to South America sooner or later, otherwise he would not get back potatoes, corn, and peppers, and he would bring a Gongshuji with him. It seemed that there would be no loss on it.
When Lao Qian saw Hu Ye's satisfied smile, he knew that the young master had made another good deal and immediately laughed. As long as the young master made money, he would have meat soup to drink.
Early the next morning, everyone's sea training was about to begin again. Soldiers carried their tired bodies and walked towards Jinjiang and Quanzhou Bay.
But Hu Ye doesn't have to go because he has a more important task, which is to raise money.
Yun Zichen looked at Hu Ye's back as he walked away and smiled. As long as Hu Ye did not get enough money back this time, he could investigate and deal with the violation of military regulations. It seems that he will not reveal his true colors.
Zhu Yunwen did not expect Hu Ye to get back much money. As long as he could raise thousands of taels of silver, he asked him to build one or two of the ships, and to bring these trained soldiers to the sea to find the Japanese pirates.
After leaving Quanzhou City, Hu Ye followed Gongshuji all the way to Jinjiang.
Hu Ye was surprised. Yesterday, Gongshu Ji said that he should go to the local tyrants in Quanzhou to ask for money. It really doesn't work. With Gongshu Ji's skills, wouldn't steal money be easy?
But what is the saying about running towards the uninhabited mountainous areas? Is there any treasure at the source of Jinjiang?
"Sir, are you playing with a boy? Instead of going to a densely populated place, you are heading towards Jinjiang?"
Hu Ye asked about his doubts.
"What? You can't believe me? If you don't believe me, you can turn around and I won't stop you." Gongshuji rode on the horse and said without looking back.
Hu Ye rolled his eyes. He had been running around the Jinjiang River for more than an hour. He said he would go back and think who we are?
Xiaoqiang was also running constantly, but now it no longer has to squat on the horse. Since he went to Suzhou to save Hu Ye last time, he has lost weight successfully. Now his body is getting stronger and stronger, and he doesn’t have to slow down at all when running. He has a long endurance. While following Hu Ye and the others, he still has free time to catch a butterfly to play.
"Boy, be optimistic about your pet. Some people like smart animals. The wood is so beautiful that it will be destroyed by the wind. This is the last time I remind you. If something happens in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Gongshuji watched Xiaoqiang running while playing with the butterflies in his mouth, and reminded Hu Ye again.
"I'll say it again, that's not my pet, that's my brother!"
Hu Ye also spoke to Gongshuji solemnly, but he was thinking about Gongshuji's opinions in his heart.
He also knew the truth that wood is so beautiful that Lin Feng would destroy it, nor did he know whether Gongshu Ji was talking about Xiaoqiang or himself. As for the Wanbeast Mountain, it would be fine as long as he didn't provoke him. If he dared to make Xiaoqiang's idea, don't blame us for using the power of the court. Anyway, Zhu Yuanzhang now has only one solution to the forces that disobey the court, that is, to completely kill them.
No matter what his Wanbeast Mountain is, it all turned into ashes in the face of imperial power!
He walked north along Jinjiang and ran about dozens of miles. When Hu Ye was still asking how to go, Gongshuji had already stopped.
"Okay, I should have arrived in Anxi here. Have you seen that mountain there? It's called Lingyin Mountain." Gongshuji pointed to a mountain not far away and said to Hu Ye.
"Lingyin Mountain?"
Hu Ye muttered, as if he had heard it somewhere. After thinking for a long time, he remembered that when he followed Zhu Di to Xiangshan Temple, the monk Juehui asked him what his relationship was with Lingyin Mountain. He didn't know what the relationship was with Lingyin Mountain in Monk Juehui's mouth, and what the relationship was with this Lingyin Mountain. After all, the land of China is too big, and there are too many mountains with the same name.
"Yes, it's Lingyin Mountain. The money I want to find for you is in that mountain!" Gongshuji said with a smile, and then rode his horse towards Lingyin Mountain, without any worries about the bumps that would destroy his body.
"The silver is in Lingyin Mountain? Is there a treasure in that mountain?"
Lin Feng murmured and had to follow him. Xiaoqiang ran to the front of Gongshuji without Lin Feng's words.
