After the fourth master and I wear each other [Qing wear]

It sounds a bit unlucky to think about the way of distress in the [-] seas before going to sea.

Wu Fuyi wasn't just looking for trouble, but he was self-aware, always vigilant of his own luck and backstabbing unexpectedly.

"It's not bad to plan ahead. Thinking more now is better than catching the blind at sea."

Wu Fuyi took Yinzhen's irony as a compliment, and seemed to comfort him with some sincerity.

"Don't be sorry, although you can't go with the boat this time, there will be another time. Once you go to sea, you will have two. Once you are familiar with it, you will be familiar with it twice. Next time you can find a suitable reason to go together."

Who is sorry?Also, can you really be sure next time?

Yinzhen remained skeptical and denied that he really had regrets.

He was not aroused by curiosity, and he was not interested in the sea scenery.Fishing for sea fish, looking up at seabirds, maybe seeing a mirage by chance, and so on did not attract him.

Yes, no.

Important things need to be denied several times.The reason for his displeasure was that he was told that he had no quota after going through the devil's emergency training.

However, now that this is the case, let's accept the reality.

Yinzhen began to silently pray that he would not have close contact with the sea this time.

Since Wu Ze Fujin has to take care of the child all the way back to the capital, the only chance for him to touch the sea again is to exchange his body with the old ghost.

Under what circumstances will it be replaced?

Maybe it was the possibility of encountering one hundred and eight shipwrecks at sea.

Staying safe in the capital and being transferred to sea adventure, choose one of the two, and the normal brain knows which one to choose.

So Yinzhen sent Wu Fuyi away.

The farewell location is not at the port, but at the Jiangning city gate.He picked up Hongyu and Honghui, and watched a carriage go away.

This farewell can range from a few months to a long time, and we will have to wait until next year to see you again.

Wu Fuyi and Yinzhen returned to Shanghai County under the escort of two guards.

This time, he departed from Jiangxi Customs and took the sea-going ships used to smuggle ginseng. Those ships were seized from the name of Suo'etu and parked in Songjiang Prefecture.In order to ensure the safety of the boat, she checked the two boats from inside to outside, from head to tail.

Regarding which voyage to take at sea, the weather suitable for travel, etc., refer to the advice of the original captain of the sea-going ship for such practical matters.

Although the major smuggling case sent many people to prison for questioning, there are always some opportunities to make meritorious deeds. If you have irreplaceable technology, you can avoid prison.

For example, the lives of several groups of crew members who were driving the sea-going ship were temporarily saved, and all they had to do was to ensure a smooth round-trip for the East Ocean expedition.

At the end of June, an auspicious day for going out, an expedition team composed of three ships set sail.

The destination is Nagasaki, Japan. Since the Tokugawa shogunate issued the country lock order, Nagasaki has become the only port open to the outside world.

Theoretically, the two countries are separated by a sea, and in the era when there were no high-tech means of communication, the flow of information was slow.

Dongying probably didn’t know that Suo’etu was being questioned. The original delivery time for the next batch of ginseng was three months later, and there would be an acquaintance Ishida Ki at Nagasaki Port.

In the past, caravans transporting ginseng left after unloading, and were not responsible for transporting silver back.

Later, there will be Dongying ships transporting silver to the south of the Yangtze River, and this kind of smuggling business has lasted for five or six years, and there has never been a situation where the goods have not been delivered and the money has not been delivered.

From this point of view, the Japanese merchants headed by Ishida Ki needed the supply of goods brought by the Qing Dynasty, rather than engage in one-shot fraudulent transactions.

Wu Fuyi grasped the needs of Dongpu.

Even if an island country promulgates a decree to lock down the country, it is impossible to completely ban maritime exchanges in the era when global trade is coming quietly.

Young ginseng will not be sold easily. If this thing is not well controlled, it will disrupt the wild ginseng market in the Qing Dynasty.When the batch of Suo'etu in the mountains near Shengjing is cleared, the trade with Dongying will be replaced with new goods.

New goods need to meet a characteristic, the cost is low but the price can be extremely high, and it is glass products.

This time the ship first brought five sets of glass screens to throw stones to ask for directions.The size is comparable to a glass window, and it is made in one piece instead of splicing. It can be said to be priceless and rare.

This batch of glass treasures is not made casually.

Since it is sincerely going to exploit Dongying's mineral products, it is necessary to show respect for customers and find out the preferences of those in power to give gifts to the disease.

Today, Tsunakichi Tokugawa is in power in the shogunate.

His evaluation is mixed.At the beginning of his administration, he was committed to reform and eager to seek talents, but then gradually changed.To use a common saying in Dongying, "Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, the Ming emperor in the Tianhe era, and the faint emperor in the Yuanlu era."

Among them, the "human mercy order" needs to be mentioned.

This decree stipulates that dogs, cats, birds, cattle, horses, fish, insects and other animals shall not be hunted and killed by the people.

Dogs enjoy the most privileges. For example, people need to give wild dogs food, and wild dogs are not allowed to drive away after eating food from stores. The nearby residents are responsible for the treatment of wild dog injuries.

It is said that the reason why Tokugawa Tsunakichi issued such a decree was that his own children were all dead, and he could no longer have a newborn child.Some monks said that the cause of the childlessness was the excessive killing of Tokugawa Tsunayoshi in his previous life, and now it is necessary to prohibit killing if he wants to remedy it.

General Tokugawa began to prohibit the people of Japan from killing animals.Because he is a dog and likes dogs, he puts more emphasis on the protection of dogs in the protection regulations.

At the beginning of the promulgation of the decree, the reason was well stated, hoping to educate the people to do benevolent things, stop killing animals and pray for future generations.However, in the process of actual implementation, the taste changed, and the complaints were so loud that the people were in dire straits.

In this way, it intensified, and later developed into a dog "eating" people.

Because the Edo people paid a huge amount of money to raise wild dogs, they privately called Tokugawa Tsunakichi "Dog Gongfang", mocking him for not treating people as people, and dogs live better than people.

Wu Fuyi inquired about this information at the beginning of May, observed three seconds of silence for the people of Edo, and then quickly sent a letter to the Beijing Glass Factory.

As a provider of key technologies for the glass factory, King Yongjun enjoys the privilege of customizing glass products, and the required goods can be guaranteed to be supplied in advance.

This time, I ordered five sets of glass screens and some glass decorations, and asked the glass factory to make them immediately. After the completion, they will be sent to Jiangnan along the Grand Canal as quickly as possible, and these goods will be transported to Dongying.

The screen pattern was drawn by Yinzhen.

There is only one requirement, which is to highlight the cuteness and agility of the dog.Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, who loves dogs, can't put it down after seeing it, and is willing to buy it with a lot of money.

Yinzhen likes dogs, even after becoming the Wu clan, he still hasn't changed his preference.

The dog Baifu changed his new home, moved from Siye's mansion to Zhuangzi in the northern suburbs, and lived a happier life for him.Compared with the restrictions on activities in the mansion, it is more possible to let go of dogs in Zhuangzi.

In the past, Yinzhen patiently designed dog clothes, kennels and other items, but now he is also like a master when he wants to capture the spirit of dogs to create glass screen pictures.

It's just that it's a bit awkward when painting.In the past, drawing things around dogs was out of pure love, but now it is used as a strategic means.

Obviously, the Gouzi screen is an overt conspiracy against Tokugawa Tsunayoshi.

As the current ruler of Dongpu, even if he does not have direct control over the major metal mines, he can still open the door wide.It's very reasonable to sell him something he likes in exchange for some right of way in the Japanese territory.

If this person hadn't put his personal likes and dislikes above government affairs and ordinary people, it would have been difficult to advance the trip to Dongying, but who told him to act fatuously.

Wu Fuyi seized this opportunity to take advantage of the loophole, and she felt that she was really a benevolent person.

Sell ​​glass to Dongying for gold, silver and copper. Glass is not something to eat, and it will not cause the problem of getting diseases through the mouth.

Compared with young ginseng pretending to be wild ginseng, the lack of medicinal power will delay the disease, glass has no such disadvantages.The only downside might be that the set price is more expensive than ginseng.

But Dongying has to realize that this is not a shortcoming of glass, but that they cannot exchange more heavy metals, so they should find a way to mine more.

Of course, the truth is always cold.

Wu Fuyi firmly held the real cost of the glass.As long as the cost of large pieces of glass is not known to the outside world, buyers can still regard it as a luxury item to show their status.

In this way, both ends are happy, one is happy to make money, and the other is happy to buy good things, what a harmonious and friendly scene.

There is no need to mention the fallacies and heresies about the real cost with Yinzhen, just take him to the warehouse and talk about the sales philosophy of Dongying.

After boarding the ship, Yinzhen listened to the fourth elder brother talk about the study plan of Dongying, including how to do the ideological work of the shogunate and several important ministers.

Start by offering luxuries that make them happy.In addition to investigating Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's preferences, it is also necessary to consider that the county magistrate is not as good as the current one, and I also have some understanding of the hobbies of Ishida chess, the receiving party.

I learned from Captain Dai Zuigong that Ishida Chess likes to play chess.

That's easy, prepare a glass chessboard, and glass white chess pieces and glass black chess pieces that are made of crystal-like materials.

Seeing that the price is expensive, it is actually the leftover material for the production of glass windows.By the way, I got a chess piece in a glass jar, which is crystal clear at first glance under the sun, which is really unique and dazzling.

Wu Fuyi counted the goods on board in detail, and then summarized the trading principles after going to Japan.

All in all, it can be summed up in sixteen words, "Friendly exchanges, fair trade, no deception, voluntary principle".

Yinzhen always felt that this line of words sounded very vague, as if it was the opposite of what they really wanted to do.Sixteen characters, none of which seemed to be the truth.

This is not important anymore.Anyway, this time he is in charge of meeting the business, and it is enough to show the sixteen-character policy on the surface.

Right now, he sees something that needs to be sold.A piece of glass product, after being exquisitely packaged, looks more and more valuable.

"Oh! This dog screen is so interesting, I really don't want to sell it to General Dog."

Yinzhen touched the screen, even though he wasn't very interested in the dog, just looking at it gave birth to the urge to move back home.

After a few more glances, he found some clues, and said in a low voice, "Fourth brother, did you draw this design yourself? It looks a bit like your family's portrait of Momofuku. Fourth brother, I will make a similar one for my younger brother later. Money, right? Brother doesn’t want it for nothing, but can you give a brother a discount?”

Wu Fuyi smiled, Yinzhen's eyes were good, but her thoughts were beautiful.

She couldn't draw such a picture of a dog, and the painting was drawn by Yinzhen.But after this time, with Yinzhen's heart, I am afraid that he will not easily make dog pictures for others, so as not to tarnish his pure love for dogs.

Immediately diverting Yinzhen's attention, she took out a stack of files from her sleeve and stuffed them into his hands. "I'll talk about other things when I get back to China. You should take a look at these promotional strategies first."

This trip to sea is not just about unloading the glass screen at Nagasaki Port, but it is necessary to go to several major towns in Japan.

Since you want to sell high-priced glass products, you should do as the Romans do and combine Japanese popular elements, comprehensively refer to aesthetics such as haiku, Japanese tea ceremony, painting, etc., and now work out several different sales plans with Yinzhen.

Yinzhen didn't feel that the subject was being diverted, and thought that the fourth brother could escape the monk but not the temple.It's important to get down to business first, so I also called the accompanying interpreter.

Although he understands some Japanese, it is limited to daily conversations.In terms of literature and culture, it is still necessary to let professionals give their opinions.

In a blink of an eye, it is October [-]th again, the water official relieves the disaster, and the next Yuan Festival arrives.

The team of Shengjia's southern tour returned to Beijing more than two months ago.

With the death of Suo'etu and the destruction of the Suoxiang Party, the lightning and thunder that had lasted for several months in the court stopped for a while.

After returning to Beijing, Kangxi decreed to change a circle of people around the prince, and again affirmed his fancy and support for the prince at the court meeting.It is believed that as the evil influence of Suo'etu's faction subsides, Yinfeng can become a wise prince.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace also held a family reunion banquet.

The emperor, concubines, princes, and princesses were all present, enjoying themselves at the table, watching the festive comedy performed by the opera troupe together.

The lively atmosphere seemed to happen every now and then.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival is Chongyang, after Chongyang is Hanyi, and after Hanyi is Xiayuan.Festivals are always one after another.

Kangxi felt a little deserted in Qianqing Palace.

If you think about it carefully, it's not just deserted.Last year, the fourth child first made a cowpox experiment, and then made glass windows. There are many new things throughout the year, which make people feel novel and lively.

If he didn't pay attention, it had been four and a half months since the fourth child set off for Dongying, and the vibrant bustle of the capital was gone.

Kangxi thought it was quite interesting.

Obviously the fourth child has a calm temperament, but when he was there, he seemed to inject vitality into the capital, changing the somewhat lifeless appearance of the capital.I don't know how the fourth child is doing in Japan?Have you brought Lao Jiu's temperament into a more reliable way?

Same in the capital, similar feeling.

Zhuangzi in the northern suburbs, Yinzhen lived here most of the time after returning from Jiangnan.

After knowing it, I found that life has become a little too quiet, and the number of mood swings has decreased a lot.But it's because the old ghost is not around, the source of his anger is gone.

This is very good, there is absolutely no trace of reluctance and miss.

It's just that I feel a little bit unaccustomed to it, and life is dull and boring.

Therefore, he really had nothing to do, repeatedly reading the book that Wu Fuyi gave before leaving.

That is a self-rescue tutorial edited by the old ghost. The summary content is "Different self-rescue methods in one hundred and eight shipwrecks, from repairing ships to surviving on deserted islands, you deserve it!" "

Yinzhen looked at the handbook that he had almost torn apart.

Open it again, and read the routine daily silent prayer before reading, 'Bless the Buddha, I don't have to practice any of the content in the book, and may the old ghost return safely'.

It was rare for him to bless the old ghost so devoutly, so his wish would come true, right?
