At this time, Liu Guangting said slowly: "The boat on my boat is full of silver. I can lend you a few thousand taels of silver, but it will cost 10% of the interest. Do you want to borrow it?"
Li Feiyu and several others said decisively almost at the same time: "Borrow!"
Liu Guangting laughed, waved his hand casually and said, "When you get ashore, you can ask Liu Ming to pick up the money!"
After Li Feiyu and others thanked Liu Guangting happily, they hurried to find Liu Ming. Although it is said that silver has interest, compared to the profit of goods, those interests are simply not worth mentioning!
The pirates are busy selling goods, but the storm above the court is getting worse at this time! The Ding You Faction and the Love Seizing Faction were now regarded as the same as each other. They constantly criticized each other every day, and the debates had turned into personal attacks! Both sides quoted scriptures, used words and sentences to constantly demonstrate their own opinions and literary skills, and kept uncovering the other party's old foundation. It was a complete mess!
The fluctuations in the court would naturally spread to the entire Ming Dynasty, so it also triggered a lot of discussions and disputes among the gentry and scholars! Friends turn against each other, teachers and students blame each other, colleagues criticize each other, and there is no friendship between relatives. It can be described as a fiery scene!
But it’s a different scene on the sea! A large number of sea-going ships shuttled back and forth, transporting goods from the south to the north and goods from the north to the south. It was extremely busy! Especially after the gentry failed to stop the sale of raw silk and tea, they could only temporarily put aside their hatred for Liu Haojia, and obediently went to the navy to buy the Green Dragon Tooth Flag and put it on their own ships to go to sea!
Because it feels really bad to watch other people ship a whole shipload of goods, but I can’t get a penny from it! So even the sea looks hot! In this way, under the stimulation of the two fires of the court and the sea, the entire Ming Dynasty was churning like a pot of boiling water!
In particular, the capital and Tianjin are the focus of the world's attention! But in this case, there was strangely no interaction between the two places, and they actually seemed to not interfere with each other!
The reason is that the civil servants are busy talking and criticizing each other about whether the chief minister has regained his love, so there are countless fast horses above the officialdom! Officials at all levels are thinking hard every day, how to write more memorials to explain their reasons, so as to overwhelm their opponents!
But the nobles and businessmen who had never cared much about government affairs discovered that there was another center in the world, and that was Tianjin! This is a paradise for doing business! As long as you pay taxes here and the Royal Navy issues a tax bill to you, you can use the tax bill to get through without any hindrance!
The goods that usually need to be smuggled have now been taken out and sold by merchants on the roads, because these people have also calculated that although they pay a lot of taxes and earn less than before, they are better than safety!
Moreover, in the past, some goods had to be exploited by the wealthy gentry, but the profits were not as much as those earned by paying taxes honestly. In this case, why take the risk of being caught by the navy and losing the freight forwarding ship together?
So the route along the coastline was extremely busy for a while! There are so many ships going north and south! Sometimes we even encounter patrolling navy. When traveling in the same direction, they will also escort the fleet for a period of time, which makes the pirates even more excited! You know, when they met at sea before, they must have been in tandem, never in parallel!
Under this situation, the entire Liu Hao Jiahe family was also busy! The degree of busyness can be known from the words he said in a moment of anger! He once said: "I'm a fucking earl. I should be popular in the Ming Dynasty, drink spicy food, be a flying eagle and a lackey, and go in and out of brothels. How come I can't even see my own wife a few times every day!"
Just that early in the morning, several owners woke up from their own yards. After washing, they gathered in the flower hall of the back house, where the cook had already laid out a sumptuous breakfast!
Today's breakfast is not large, but it is very exquisite. On the table were white porridge, four kinds of pickles, and deep-fried steamed buns. There are also eggs spread out. Each person had a portion of fried vegetables, but Liu Haojia had an extra plate of chicken.
However, the three of them ate much faster than usual during this period, so the breakfast ended with a simple exchange. As soon as they put down their chopsticks, the maids rushed in and took away the leftover dishes.
Change to tea with just the right temperature.
A few people were chatting and laughing and had just taken a few sips when Cai Luan came in and saluted and said: "Uncle, your horse is ready, and the servants are waiting at the stables. Miss's carriage is also ready. And Miss Tan, who just received the gift The newspaper and other documents have been delivered to your study." Kan Shula
Hearing Cai Luan's words, Zhang Peijia and Tan Cuiying couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on their faces! Seeing this, Liu Haojia could only say to Zhang Peijia: "Be patient, and be patient! Just wait until the shopkeeper and the guys below get to know each other well, and there won't be so many things!"
Then he said to Tan Cuiying: "Just hold on! Once the matter of Prime Minister Zhang's return from love is settled, there won't be such trouble!"
After saying that, he pretended to hold his hands to the two of them, causing the two women to burst into laughter. Then Zhang Peijia said: "You should be careful when you go out! Take a rest when it's time to rest."
Liu Haojia naturally agreed, and then everyone got up and left the flower hall to do their own things. Of course, the first one to get into work was Tan Cuiying who was in the back house. She has a specially configured study room in her yard, which is almost the same size as Liu Haojia's study room.
When Tan Cuiying came to the door of the study, she nodded to the two female guards guarding the door. The two female guards actually bowed their hands and saluted like men. These two people were specially assigned to guard the study for her.
Liu Haojia's strength has expanded rapidly recently, so he has also gathered a lot of people from all walks of life! Liu Haojia saw that their family members were also proficient in martial arts, so he invited them to come and place them in the backyard to be responsible for protecting the safety of the inner house. And Tan Cuiying's study was quite important, so he was specially allocated manpower.
After the master and servant entered the door, Tan Cuiying picked up the newspaper and sat down at her desk, while Xiaozhu began to put the copies of the memorial on the small table at the door in piles on the table. The last pile she put on the table was letters exchanged between officials that Jin Yiwei and Dongchang obtained through special means.
Tan Chunying curled her lips after reading Di Bao, expressing her contempt for Di Bao. Then she picked up her favorite Pu'er and took two sips slowly before saying, "Bring those letters over to me first!"
