The old village chief received the information his son saw from the beach, and the old women who went to help with the transportation in the village also returned, and they all received generous rewards.

Originally, I was going to carry the transportation with a life-and-death mentality, but it was a big surprise. The village suddenly became lively. 200 cents were worth the villagers who could not afford to spend money for these years and might starve to death. This was a real huge sum of money. In the deserted year, it was something that could save the lives of the whole family.

The villagers who were originally glad that they were not forced to be transported now have regrets. When they saw those who got the money, they were talking loudly and saw the big ships like mountains. How generous and generous the maritime merchants were red. They had to walk up to flatter them. They are rich now, so when can't they guarantee that they will come to their door?

The old village chief knew that there was really a big shopkeeper waiting at the sea. Although he was a little suspicious of his son's big ship, it was an indisputable fact that Jin Dazheng and his gang had the ability to destroy their villages and villages. Since they had this ability, they did not force them, and followed the rules, the transactions that Jin Dazheng said could be done.

I am just the head of a small village, without the strength or the way to take on such a big deal. Moreover, with North Korea's current attention and vigilance on overseas trade, I do not have the ability to intervene in the business with maritime merchants. Even if I do it secretly, once the big clans and the court get the news, the more they earn, the faster they die. It seems that they still have to find high ones to support them.

The old village chief, who made up his mind, decided to go and find Li in the city to take the lead, and he was satisfied with drinking some soup from behind. With a decisive decision, the old village chief asked his son to drive a ox cart and send him into the city immediately.

The Li family has been in this small town on the right road of Huanghai for hundreds of years. Although it has experienced ups and downs and its family business has rise and fall, it has always been a famous family in this area. It has a wide range of connections and deep foundations in the court. In addition, it has been scattered and many families have been divided over the past few hundred years, so it can be said that it is a matter of words and governments have to stand aside. Speaking of which, the ancestors of the old village chief were from the branch of the Li family, but they were old and they could not be said to be very close. At most, when the Li family had major sacrifices, they could come and join in the fun, kneel down from afar, and then brag for half a year when they went back.

It is not easy to enter the high-gate mansion. If the old village chief hadn't stuffed some silver into the door and claimed to be the Li family's family, and had a major matter to come to discuss, he would definitely not even be qualified to enter the door.

The one who received him was a housekeeper of Li. The old village chief was not qualified to let the important figures of Li come forward to receive him. In the butler's arrogant expression, the old village chief slowly expressed his intentions. The originally listless housekeeper immediately came to his spirits. When it involved a transaction of tens of thousands of taels of silver, he could no longer make decisions at will, so he immediately invited the second young master Li Zhengren.

When Li Zhengren heard the old village chief telling the purpose of the trip again, he saw the money brought by the old village chief and immediately believed it. It was not that he looked down on the old village chief, and he would definitely not be able to take out such a country bumpkin.

Although their Li family has a good reputation and prestige in this area, they are still not worthy of view in front of larger families and forces. Therefore, their family is not qualified to be involved in the overseas trade. Now the fat meat is delivered to the door actively, as long as it controls it well, it can be eaten. Although there are certain risks, there is no big problem.

Although Li Zhengren felt that he could do it, after all, the matter was very important, so he still reported to his elders' father. The elders thought it was feasible. The business involving tens of thousands of taels of silver was at least 3,000 taels of profit, and the food and other goods needed by the maritime merchants were all stored in a large amount of their own, so the profit was even more considerable.

Of course, eating alone will have great risks at any time. Such a big news cannot be hidden from other interested people in the city. So the old patriarch simply pulled a few accomplices, including big merchants in the city, county magistrates, etc., and the garrisons here were also pulled onto the ship. Even if they did not make any statement, it was also to ensure safety. No one can guarantee that the maritime merchants would not use a black trick.

These powerful figures acted together and had a strong execution ability. Soon all kinds of materials began to gather and sent to the old village chief's village one after another.

In addition to getting the promised job of the clan leader, the old village chief gave a dividend of 200 taels, he also exchanged all the 100 taels of silver he brought for goods, and even gritted his teeth and borrowed some of the supplies from the merchants, of course there was interest. He could have sacrificed his life to fight.

Three days came soon, and Li Zhengren and a group of leaders in the city came to the old village chief's village and personally presided over the transaction. Some troops were also ambushed nearby just in case.

Kim Dae-sung brought 30 people to trade. In addition to money, he was also fully armed to ensure his own safety.

Kim Tae-jeong entered the village alone and saw the goods piled up in the village, including grain, linen, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, fresh, pickled meat, and some fruits and vegetables. Of course, North Korea's specialty ginseng fur and so on are indispensable.

Jin Dazheng didn't expect that the old village chief could take out so much materials to trade, so the transaction method had to be adjusted.

After negotiations between the two parties reached an agreement.

Because of the large amount of supplies, it is no longer suitable to carry the simple boat back and forth. They will trade and unload the goods in a local private port. Lu Ruolin trades the remaining goods such as tea, silk and other goods on his hands with everyone, and Lu Ruolin buys other supplies with cash.

Because Kim Dae-jeong gave the premium appropriately, Li was also quite satisfied, so he easily reached the deal.

Jin Dazheng stayed, calculated the goods, used the silver on hand as a deposit, and went to the private port with them to trade. Li sent the old village chief's son and others back to the ship to guide Lu Ruolin and others to the hidden private port. Because both parties wanted to reach the deal as soon as possible and were more sincere, they cooperated more harmoniously.

The transfer of large quantities of materials was not so easy. It was not easy to meet in the private port at noon the next day. Li saw the rumored giant ship, surprised by the strength of Jin Dazheng and his group, and became more cautious, and pulled out the hidden army to warn, which was to show his strength.

As an important deterrent, the Thunder did not make a port. The other three ships, the Sea Snake (400 materials), also the newly named Sea Eagle (400 materials), and the Sea Shark (600 materials) docked to trade goods and received new materials.

In addition to the purchase of a batch of high-value goods such as ginseng and fur, Lu Ruolin spent 3,000 taels of grain to buy, and the most traded grain was the one with the most traded. A total of 3,000 stones of grain were traded, about 280 tons. Because the price of grain is relatively high now, Lu Ruolin spent 2 taels of silver per stone, which is the biggest expense. In addition, some meat, vegetables, groceries, etc. spent 1,000 taels. In the end, he spent 4,000 taels of goods in his hand, and he sold 6,000 taels of cash and inventory to complete the transaction.

Both parties were quite satisfied with the transaction and both received the materials or money they wanted. Li Zhengren finally came forward after the transaction was completed. The previous work was completed by the housekeeper. A big man like him disdained to do these low-court jobs.

Because of the gains this time, Li Zhengren and Jin Dazheng decided to retain this trading channel after communicating with each other. In the future, Lu Ruolin's fleet can come here to trade. As long as hello in advance and give the goods needed, Li will prepare in advance. This transaction is relatively hasty, and many places are doing sloppy, so it will definitely not be like this in the future.

Lu Ruolin also felt that this channel could be retained, especially because he was preparing to gain a foothold in Bai Ling Island, and North Korea must have its own network of relations. So the two sides hit it off and reached a long-term cooperation intention.

Now the north of the Ming Dynasty was repeatedly plundered and destroyed by the Later Jin and bandits. The economy had collapsed. The people had no way to survive and fled in all directions. Human lives were as low as grass, and the prices of grain rose one day. Under such a vicious cycle, food became increasingly scarce. The big merchants and landlords were even more reluctant to sell food, which intensified the shortage of food. People were not as good as death. They fed each other and hungered all over the ground, and they could do anything to eat in one bite.

Although North Korea was also invaded and extorted by the Later Jin Dynasty, its social structure has not been destroyed and the survival of the common people is becoming increasingly difficult. However, the large family still has a lot of food to sell. In the future, Lu Ruolin's food source will be found from them.

In fact, there were more landlords and merchants in the Jiangnan area of ​​the Ming Dynasty, and they stored more grain, but they had their own circles. Those who operated grain trade were all wealthy families and powerful families. At least Lu Ruolin could not get involved now. Especially Lu Ruolin's current identity is relatively embarrassing. Even if he could buy a small amount of grain, he would be slaughtered by those grain merchants.

After getting the food, Lu Ruolin was preparing to go to Dengzhou. The main reason was that there was a shortage of people. The four large ships had only about 200 people, and the staffing was seriously insufficient. If they wanted to take Bailing Island as a base, there was no enough people to see, so the recruitment had to be stepped up.

Since Kong Youde's rebellion, the Dengzhou Navy either surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty with Kong Youde, died or fled in the war, and it has ceased to be the old view. Shangguan, who bullied and exploited him, also died in the war, but he didn't know whether the guards he came from survived the war.

When Lu Ruolin and the others heard the news of the Dengzhou rebellion, they wanted to go back and take a look, but the battle situation there was fierce, the news was blocked, and he was weak, so he didn't dare to go back rashly. Now Kong Youde surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty, the Shandong rebellion was quelled, and he had the Thunderbolt protection again. It was time to go back and take a look.

The order of Dengzhou after the war has not been fully restored, and there are many refugees, which is suitable for recruiting people. In this situation, as long as you take out your own food, you will not have to worry about not working hard, and you will be afraid that you will not be able to recruit too many. Therefore, it is better to recruit in the navy's legacy. First, you are familiar with it, and second, these people can form combat power faster than farmers, and running a boat is a technical job.
