"Master, our sand ship is not tonnage enough. We can only load it with ready-made clothes, iron tools, farm tools, iron materials, copper materials, stone mills, medicinal materials, spices, flour, rice, grains, seasonings, fruits and vegetables, etc." , The villain is looking for a boat right now. Whether it is rented or borrowed, I promise to load all supplies, grain, grass, and live animals on the boat within the specified time, so as not to delay my important event..."
Reaching out to help his leader tidy up his robes, Kang Lin personally followed the leader and the second housekeeper Yang Qi without hesitation gave the specific progress of material shipment. Due to the lack of transport ships and the large amount of materials purchased this time, After being busy for a long time, the resident office organized people to transport some of the supplies onto the sand ship. However, the bulk of the grain and livestock could not be loaded on the ship because the ship was not in place. However, Yang Qi promised his leader that he would Completing the shipment of all materials and ordnance within the specified time will certainly not delay the next trip of the great master Kang Lin.
"Don't worry about the ships. I have ordered more than ten large and small ships in Zhujiawan, and they will be delivered one after another. In this way, you first send someone to Shopkeeper Qiao to ask if there is anything more remote in the East China Sea. There is a private port, and we will find a way to rent or buy it. After all, we will need a place to stay when traveling to the East China Sea in the future. It is not the same thing to always moor at the official pier! In addition, have you sent anyone to check it out in the past few days? After passing Uncle Liu, he asked how the old man was recovering from his injuries. Can you tell me if Yang Qi was going to rent a boat? Kang Lin shook his head gently. He had just purchased a large number of old Ming army ships in Zhujiawan. In addition to It was enough to hold all the supplies, and there was still a lot of space left to decorate other things. There was no need to spend that wasted money, so he stretched out his hand to stop his personal leader and asked him to immediately send more people around to look for the secrets. The port can be rented or bought to house the second-hand warships that are arriving one after another. The head of Kangda does not want the ships he bought with a lot of money to be parked at the Donghaiguan Wharf, so that others can spy on his true and false status, causing unnecessary trouble. Trouble, after all, although the ship Hao Datong sold is an old ship, it is still a military ship. If someone catches it, the problem is still not small. After all, this is not his territory. Anyone who is not careful may be killed. Disaster!
"Okay, sir, I'll send someone to shopkeeper Qiao right now to discuss the private harbor with him! By the way, sir, the brother who stayed at the hospital once sent someone to report that the sixth master has woken up and is in the hospital. I will receive further diagnosis and treatment from the miracle doctor there, so you don’t have to worry..." After receiving the new order from his leader, Yang Qi immediately sent a smart and capable subordinate to the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce to find a shop to discuss the lease and purchase of a private port, and he followed suit. Follow him and continue to report to him the current situation of Liu Laoliu, the general manager of Chiyang Fleet! Unlike Kang Lin who was beaten to death outside in the past few days, Liu Laoliu lived a very comfortable life in the hospital. Doctor Xue lived up to his boast of being the enemy of the underworld. Not only did he easily deal with Liu Laoliu's many The injury may have been fatal, but he was given a few doses of decoction to lower Liu Laoliu's high fever. By the time Kang Lin came back, Liu Laoliu, the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Chiyang Fleet, could already struggle to get up and be fed rice by others. Porridge!
"Well, I will seal another ten taels of silver to Doctor Xue and ask him to take good care of Uncle Liu. Tell him that as long as Uncle Liu's body can recover as soon as possible, no amount of money is a problem! Also, Lao Qi, I have recruited him again this time. More than a hundred people are placed on the bird boat. Their weapons and food, please follow up for me!" The matter of people and goods has been almost handled. Kang Lin strolled out of the room. Just now, he passed the system , and recruited ten elite warriors, ten followers, and one hundred and fifty ordinary immigrants to supplement the sharply reduced number of troops under his command! He had lost too many loyal followers in Zhujiawan before, and now he needed to replenish his manpower. The system happened to reward him with many recruitment opportunities, so he spent some resources and merit points to recruit these elites. Soldiers were recruited from different time and space to two two hundred bird ships! Therefore, Yang Qi now has a new task, which is to immediately escort a batch of weapons and food there, arm these newly appeared companions, and equip them with preliminary combat capabilities! Because his boss Kang Lin had a hunch that they would most likely be able to use these manpower in the near future. By then, it would be too bad if there were no elite soldiers and no weapons at hand!
"Okay, sir!" Without thinking, Kang Lin's personal leader immediately accepted his leader's order! The next moment, after giving instructions to Yang Qi, Kang Lin, the head of Kangda, climbed onto the sliding pole outside the restaurant with the help of Zheng Nansheng, and started to head towards the Qianshi Mansion in the west of the city. He had already sent people to investigate outside in advance and directed Qianshi Hu. Lord Lianhu usually does not work in the signing room of the capital, but works as a director in his own house. He will only go there to meet with the big guys of Donghaiwei when there is a major event, and the banquet time on the invitation is tonight. It was a little early to set off at this moment, but this was Kang Lin's first time dealing with high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty. He didn't want to leave a bad impression on others, so he got on the slide early and rushed outside the Qianshi Mansion in Xicheng. waiting.
Two hours later, Donghai Xicheng commanded Qian to serve in Hu Lian's mansion.
The gatehouse is tall and grand, with a plaque bearing the name of Hu Mansion written in regular script. There are lifelike stone lions crouching on both sides of the steps made of bluestone under the gatehouse. Turn left after entering the gate and you will be the first to enter the courtyard. There is a main house and east and west wing rooms. Then there is the second courtyard. There is a moon gate separating the two courtyards. The northernmost part of the second courtyard is the main house, with wing rooms on both sides. Then the terrain rises, passing through the hanging flower gate and hand-cooked verandah. There is a third entrance behind it. The courtyard is also composed of the main house and the wing rooms. The main house faces south and has five rooms. There are also east and west wing rooms that can be used as warehouses or study rooms, as well as small gardens where you can play and relax in your free time...
The entire courtyard is neatly planned and quite impressive. The brick carvings, roof ridges, and eaves on each house are exquisite and extremely expensive. Kang Lin and his party waited outside the archway of Qianshi Mansion for a long time, and drank several pots of tea before they were allowed to enter Hu Lian and Hu Qianshi's mansion. Of course, they did not go through the main entrance, but the corner gate next to it. Only Kang Lin, Zheng Nansheng, Jiang San and others, the other relatives and entourage could only wait outside the archway!
"Hey, as for you, just walk, don't look around, what kind of place do you think this is? If you bump into the family members of the imperial family, you will feel better..." However, when Kang Lin and others looked around, they exclaimed. When the Hu Mansion was magnificent and magnificent, the third steward of the Hu Mansion who was leading the way suddenly stopped for some reason, and his fat face turned around with an impatient look. He was not a The handyman was sent to take a businessman into the house, and he was already unhappy. When he looked back, he saw that these bumpkins were looking around after entering the house, as if they were Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and he was even more angry. , so one couldn't help but put his hands on his hips, and began to scold Kang Lin and others loudly, completely ignoring that Kang Lin and others were guests invited by his master. His words were domineering and his face was ugly and cold, and he directly taught Kang Lin and others to look at it. You have to frown.
"Butler, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Xiaoke, the master and the servants just saw the grandeur of this mansion, so they couldn't help but look at it a few more times. If there's anything offended, please let me know!" People were standing on the eaves of the house. He had no choice but to lower his head. Kang Lin looked at the brightly armored guards around him. He stretched out his hand to stop the angry Zheng and Jiang. A smile appeared on his face and he began to apologize constantly. He was not stupid. Being angry with someone's housekeeper on someone else's territory is just to get some benefits, but it's not worth it when you offend someone. Why not just tolerate it for the time being, and wait until you have accumulated enough strength to find this dog-eye again? The third housekeeper of Hu Mansion, the low-ranking official, has to settle the account carefully.
"Well, just know that you are wrong. Let's go. Let's go to the side hall first. Don't keep the master waiting!" Seeing Kang Lin lowered his head, the third housekeeper smiled proudly, turned around and led the way again. Although he was facing Kang Lin was not polite, but after all, he still did not dare to delay his master's affairs. After scolding the latter, he continued to lead them forward. Next, he passed through the hanging flower gate, entered the mobile corridor, and soon brought the three of them to the banquet. The guest flower hall, and then said calmly, "You wait here, I will report to you" and left in a panic. During this period, not even a cup of tea was given to Kang Lin and others. This shows how arrogant and domineering this person has become!
"Master, this guy is such a bastard, why don't you let your subordinates beat him up and teach him how to behave!" As soon as the third housekeeper of the Hu Mansion left, Zheng Nansheng started to complain in a low voice about this guy's rudeness. His slaves dared to be so arrogant and domineering. It can be seen that his master, the master here, Hu Lian and Hu Qianshi, is probably not a kind person. To deal with these bastards, the old gangsters in Ji Town have only one way to deal with them, and that is to beat them hard. Beat them hard enough to make them calm down, bow their heads and admit their mistakes before stopping! This means that Kang Lin and Kang Da are very strict with their subordinates. He does not dare to make any mistakes. If he had been released before he was in the Jizhen army, he would have drawn his sword at him. What the hell, a dog-like slave actually dared to fight with him. I'm so embarrassed, I really thought I couldn't beat him to death!
"Be silent and don't even look at where this place is. If you touch him, can we still leave here unscathed? Bear it, bear it well. One day we will be so powerful that no one can control it. When I asked them to settle the general ledger..." He glared at Zheng Nansheng who was muttering in a low voice. Kang Lin quietly put his hand into his arms. There was not only a list of property to be bribed to Hu Lian, but also a tube wrapped in oil paper. That's the black iron-level weapon that comes out of the system reward primary weapon box - the Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle! The so-called Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle is made of brass, filled with a small amount of high-quality gunpowder and twelve steel nails made of fine steel. Once triggered, it can launch twelve force-sinking needles in a very short period of time. The fierce steel nails have strong lethality and are not eye-catching in appearance, so Kanglin uses them as his personal weapon!
