Chapter 229 Investigation and evidence collection and robbery
Jiang Feng did not see the person who came from Cuiyulou. In the end, the Xia family's fleet did not replenish the goods in the private port of Qianhusu, Yantai Mountain. They loaded the goods on Shuangyu and then went to Japan, and sold goods in Jiangnan and unloaded them in Yantai, and then loaded the goods to Japan. The two processes seemed to be easy to deal with.
However, the money earned and the expenses are very different. The Xia family naturally knew what it was to make or lose. They had no idea of forcing it. The two cannons on the mountain may have shooting dead spots, but the cannons on the Western ship parked in the dock are not fun. Besides, are the hundreds of people on their ships going ashore to be massacred by the other party?
Now Jiang Feng's more than a dozen ships are operated by Li Guangtou's fleet. Li Guangtou was previously a little thief in Fujian and was taken down from prison. He was also a bachelor and brave man. He didn't know what methods he used to escape from the prison. He gathered a force at the sea.
Yuegang in Fujian has long been the center of smuggling and distribution. Seeing that Li Guangtou couldn't get in, he took advantage of the opportunity of banning the waters and occupied the Shuangyu Islands of Liuheng Island while the ban on the sea was occupied. For a while, he could be called a storm on the sea. Who knew that there was another accident and was driven out of the island by his accomplices.
Fortunately, his subordinates worked hard, and he was also alert. However, it was also a big ups and downs. Who said that Li Baldou was in his early forties? However, he felt much more peaceful. This time he cursed Jiang Feng and saw the power in Jiang Feng's hands. He also made a very accurate judgment on himself.
Knowing that he can only follow Jiang Feng and make a fortune silently, and he cannot have any wrong ideas. Jiang Feng's fierceness, strength and unity are not what he can do now. And he often wonders, are these people under Jiang Feng still the army of the Ming Dynasty? Does the Ming Dynasty have such an army?
Seeing these actions of the Xia family, Monk Li was always laughing. The benefits and exclusiveness brought by this location in this private port are too bright, and no wonder some people were blinded by their eyes. But I didn’t think about it. If such a port was not seen by Jiang Feng, it would have been investigated and dealt with long ago. There was no possibility of existence. When I thought of the word “天天天”.
Monk Li made a chill and shook his head and said to himself:
"This is a mansion, there is no possibility!"
From November to January of the following year, smuggled ships generally do not go into the sea. Whether it is the pirates of the Ming Dynasty or the Japanese pirates and devils, they all have to go back to celebrate the New Year. This is the biggest and most grand festival of the year. As for the Spanish and Portuguese, it is only the New Year, but no one goes there to buy and sell.
Li Guangtou's fleet finished the last flight and moored at the former destination in Jiangnan. Li Guangtou and Jiang Feng's men each had a boat back towards the Dengzhou port. Some sailors and boatmen were from Fujian and Zhejiang, and they also had to go home to prepare for the New Year. Li Guangtou's confidants and Jiang Feng's Tiedin both lived in Dengzhou, and the money at the end of the year was also taken back at this time.
So there were three ships moored at the port of Qianhusu, Yantai Mountain, and two medium-sized lucky ships that he snatched were from the Western brigs, Li Monks and Jiang Feng.
As soon as they stopped at the port, the few people who had been rushing on the sea for a long time didn't have time to rest and directly asked the Qianhu House of Yantai Mountain to arrange horses, and they wanted to go to Dengzhou Prefecture to report important matters.
During this period, Shandong salt merchants and salt owls were busy in Jining and Dengzhou Prefectures, and they were making a lot of money for next year's quota and sales. Now Huang Ping and Jiang Feng have already sprinkled money into the salt transportation yamen. On the ground of Shandong, you can't buy salt even if you spend money.
It is always pinched by Jiang Feng on sea and land. Even if you have money to buy private salt, don’t want to transport it out of the salt farm. It’s just that unreasonable, what can you do?
For Jiang Feng, bargaining with Zhao Xiucai and the salt merchant Yan Xiao at home is far inferior to him traveling around the world or fighting on the battlefield.
However, for Liu Fangrui and the Su sisters, Jiang Feng's leisure time at home is very rare, so he naturally serves with all his heart and soul, which makes Jiang Feng enjoy the gentleness. His show-off in modern times is aroused. He racks his mind to make some delicious and fun things to make his wife and sister-in-law happy, which is quite relaxed.
When several people arrived at Dengzhou Prefecture City, Jiang Feng was telling a story to Su Guanxue with a doll with a hand, and Liu Fangrui and Su Guanyue were watching with a smile on the side.
At this time, I heard someone outside telling me that Tieding, who was running the boat, had an urgent return, and Monk Li was also here with him.
"The Xia family can be regarded as the top five maritime families in southern Fujian, but thirty years ago, there was nothing except a dozen ships. The people in the family were all officials in the navy or the Maritime War Office. They always took the above route, and there were not many maritime transactions involved.
However, in the past decade, more and more major forces have been on the sea, and the court's policy of banning the sea has become increasingly strict. The power of the Xia family is getting worse and worse day by day, and it is slowly declining. Xia Qinglong, the leader of the Xia family, and his two younger brothers, Qingqiu and Qingjiao, decided to use their old relationships and also make a fuss at the sea once."
Jiang Feng called Liu Shier to listen to the introduction of Tieding and Monk Li in the front hall. Monk Li sat next to the introduction. After seeing his subordinates come in, Jiang Feng did not say much to ask about his well-being, and directly ordered the servants below to stew ginger soup and warm tea.
This kind of concern for the details of subordinates, coupled with generous actions, leading the way, etc., is precisely because of these things that make subordinates die of him.
"Xia Qinglong's health is not good recently. The Xia family has become bigger by relying on the power of the Qianhu Institute of Yantai Mountain in recent years. Qingqiu and Qingjiao are both staring at the position of the leader of the Xia family. Xia Qinglong has a daughter Xia Cuiyu and has no descendants, so Qingqiu and Qingjiao have already started fighting there. Fortunately, their elder brother is on it, so it will not turn against each other in the morning. However, it is said on Liuheng Island that Xia Qinglong has recently colluded with the Japanese pirates in Zhejiang, and its power has become increasingly bigger, and he has no choice but to listen to Xia Qinglong's orders!"
When Jiang Feng heard this, the Xia family's abnormal behavior was almost clear. The Xia family, Jiang Feng sneered and shouted an order outside:
"All the people on duty in the yard are on the horse and go out with me!"
Liu Shier, who was thinking next to him, was stunned and asked hurriedly:
"Sir, are you??"
"Get the woman on it!!"
Jiang Feng replied with a big laugh...
