Chapter 157: Murong Gongzi

Early the next morning, he was about to give the order to sail the ship, but he heard the sailor report that someone was visiting, and Xia Nan wondered, he could never know anyone in Macao, which one of these songs was sung?

When I walked to the side of the boat and looked at the pier, several people in different clothes stood under the boat, looking at the "Yangming" and talking in a whisper. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThese people have the costumes of the Ming Dynasty, and the common sailor costumes on the streets of Macau, and there are even blacks among them.

The first person was dressed as a standard scholar in the Ming Dynasty, and when he saw him come out, he bowed and said, "This is the owner of the ship, may I ask the name of Gao?" In Lower Murong Dragon City, please forgive me for coming abruptly. ”

Xia Nan took a closer look at this person, not very old, in his early twenties, eyebrows like swords, handsome face, slender and thin, just standing so casually, but with a dignified demeanor, the people around him seemed to be his foil.

Xia Nan generally doesn't like the same sex who is more handsome than herself, especially the so-called beautiful men in the old time and space, but when she saw this young man, she naturally had a good feeling in her heart.

He sighed in his heart, such a handsome and aristocratic man put it in his original time and space, and killed those so-called male gods in seconds, how many straight men had to be bent! There is also this mysterious name Murong Dragon City, which makes Xia Nan feel like he has come to the martial arts world in a trance, but this name is a little familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere?

Seeing that he seemed to be thinking about something, the other party did not answer, nor was he annoyed, and stood there with a smile.

Xia Nan came back to his senses and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry for being distracted for a while." His surname is Xia, his name is Tiannan, and he is a native of Lingao County, Qiongzhou Prefecture. This Murong Gongzi, is there anything to do with me? He looked at the other party's scholarly dress, and he didn't know what profession he was engaged in, whether he had merit or not, and it should be safer to call his son.

Murong Longcheng replied unhurriedly: "What I am doing here is a business at sea, and I have seen many ship types in various places, but I have never seen such a sailing ship, so I was itchy for a while, and I took the liberty to inquire." I don't know if you can tell me one or two? ”

is actually a maritime businessman, Xia Nan can't help but feel a little pity, this kind of turbid world is a good son should be full of poetry and books, and he can travel the world with a sword, how did he choose this bloody, profiteering, and high-risk business.

However, since the other party asked, he didn't deliberately hide it, even if he let him know a little fur, he wouldn't steal the technology of the flying clipper.

"Well said. This ship is called a flying clipper ship, and it does not carry much cargo, but it is fast in speed, so its appearance is different from that of ordinary ships. ”

"Oh? How fast is it? ”

If it was an ordinary person who asked, Xia Nan would definitely not bird him, but in the face of this handsome guy who can bend a straight man, he hesitated for a moment, couldn't bear to refuse, and still told the truth: "We set off from Qiongzhou Mansion yesterday, stopped in Leizhou halfway, and arrived at Macao Port at the same time. ”

Murong Longcheng's eyes lit up, this speed can be described as amazing. It only took one day to get from Qiongzhou to Macao, and it was changed to a Guangzhou ship or a fortune boat, and it was impossible to arrive in four or five days. He keenly discovered the greatest value of this kind of ship, and said: "Although Brother Xia's ship is not loaded with many goods, if it is loaded with silk and other things, and goes to Dongying, the income of one month can be worth a year of ordinary ships!" ”

This Murong Longcheng is not only good-looking, but also has an IQ and reaction that are directly proportional to his appearance, if he can use it for himself, he will definitely be able to become a big help in maritime trade, but unfortunately, most of these characters are business families, and how can he look down on himself as a small person in the countryside, Xia Nan regretfully thought that he did not officially accept the official government Zhao'an at the moment, no name and no point, even if he was recruited into the official army, it was just a martial artist in the eyes of the wealthy, and the attraction was limited.

"I wonder if Brother Xia can cut his love and resell a few of these clippers to Zaixia?" Murong Longcheng asked tentatively.

When it comes to such a sensitive issue, don't say handsome guy, even if the fairy comes, it won't work, this is the principle, the technology that is ahead of the times is the killer weapon for his future hegemony, and it is impossible to transfer it to others. Xia Nan told him with great certainty: "I'm sorry, no one will sell this boat!" ”

Although he knew that such a sharp weapon could not be sold easily, Murong Longcheng was still very disappointed when he heard that he was holding a trace of luck. He didn't give up, and asked again: "Is Brother Xia also a companion?" He is quite familiar with Macau, Jiangnan, Dongying and other places, if Brother Xia is interested, he can consider a partnership to do business, "I can't buy a boat directly, he changed his mouth to pull Xia Nan into the house, if he can partner, he can also take the east wind of this clipper boat."

Xia Nan disappointed him again and bluntly refused: "I have plans to do business, but I will not partner with anyone." ”

The other party is familiar with the trade route is a resource, but the partnership is bound to expose its own clipper performance and technology, and also share the profits, which is not what Xia Nan wants.

Unlike the cotton business, maritime trade is a lucrative industry, but it is also the most risky and difficult industry. Xia Nan has great ambitions, he wants to become the hegemon of the East Asian seas, dominate several of the most profitable trade routes in this sea, and will not share it with anyone, he has this confidence, and the battleships that have been launched and more and bigger warships in the future are his killer features.

In order to prevent the other party from continuing to entangle, without waiting for the other party to answer, he added: "My ship is about to depart, and it will arrive in Quanzhou before dark, and the time is very tight." Murong Gongzi, goodbye! ”

If others say that it will take one day to rush from Macao to Quanzhou, Murong Longcheng will definitely see it as crazy talk, but if it is this clipping boat that can travel from Qiongzhou to Macao in one day, it may not be impossible to do it. Xia Nan had already said that he couldn't say anything, so he could only give a salute and watch the other party lift anchor and sail away from the dock.

After the boat disappeared from sight, a middle-aged man dressed as a sailor next to him said, "Childe, if this ship is really as good as he said, we might as well grab it!" ”

Another black sailor also said in broken Chinese: "Rob! The boat, great, we needed! ”

Murong Longcheng said lightly: "There is only one ship to grab one, and a ship on the Japanese line will not be successful, and none of us will be able to build a ship, and if we grab it, we will not be able to imitate it, and inviting others to build it will leak secrets, if everyone has such a ship, it will not be an advantage." Besides, don't you see these people around this man? All of them are full of evil, especially one of them is carrying a strong bow, which is not something ordinary people can deal with. ”

The middle-aged man lamented: "If you can have such a sharp weapon, Jinshan Yinhai will not be a problem, and the child's plan can be realized as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, I can wait until today, and it's not a year and a half. At present, our strength is limited, and we must still keep our heads in the dark and wait for the opportunity. In time, our plans will be realized! ”

Several people beside him stood solemnly together, and replied in unison: "What Childe said is extremely true, we swear to follow Childe to the death!" "To be continued.
