Chapter 119 The dog that barks does not bite the belly disease, in fact, it is also schistosomiasis.Quan Xu has a classmate who often sells his major in front of him, and he remembers some of it, but he is not sure.The young man who spent fifteen taels of silver to buy was named Shen Liangcai, and the woman was Shen Liangcai's mother, named Shen Zhou.Quan Xu and the others continued on the road, anyway, whether it was the family Ding Bing or Quan Xu, they were all in the car, and now there were two more people, fortunately, after the consumption along the way, the materials on the cart were also a lot empty, Shen Liangcai and Shen Zhou sat in the carriage and walked towards Dengzhou City.Dengzhou City is a big city in Shandong, and it is also a military town, half of the people, half of the army's military family members of this kind of city.Outsiders like Quan Xu came over, and everyone actually collected a poll tax of forty yuan.Forty dollars, for Quan Xu, is naturally a small amount of money.Xu Biao temporarily played the role of a housekeeper, and he chose a large and clean inn for Quan Xu in the city - Liu Ji Inn.Quan Xu directly wrapped a yard with a stable, and the environment was not bad, but the bedding or something was a little damp, which made Quan Xu a little uncomfortable.Shen Zhou quickly entered the role, taking on the job of cooking and washing the fire, while Shen Liangcai was thrown into the ranks of the family soldiers by Quan Xu and ate with him.Quan Xu took a hot bath and was refreshed, and then he said to Xu Biao: "You go to the dock and take a look, buy me a boat, the boat I want is new, strong, and big, at least more than 2,000 materials!"
”Before the appearance of tonnage units in ancient China, the size of ships was calculated in units of materials.The early meaning of the material is not only the ship's carrying unit, but the amount of wood used in shipbuilding.One material is about more than 300 catties of buoyancy, and 2,000 materials are equivalent to more than 300 tons.Xu Biao nodded and said, "Yes!"
”As the saying goes, the leader moves his mouth, and the subordinates break their legs.Although all the soldiers worked very hard all the way, Xu Biao still arranged the defense in the small courtyard and went out to do business.Quan Xu instructed Shen Zhou's again: "Shen Zhou's!
”"Slave here!""
These days, you are responsible for buying ingredients, as for meals, you must have meat for each meal, buy more fish, eggs and water, and buy meat for each meal for fifty-four of us."
Shen Zhoushi muttered: "How can this work, how can there be no rules at all!"
”In Shen Zhou's mind, Xu Biao is a sentry chief, and the surname Wen is the deputy sentry chief, and the sentry commander is like a general flag, and they are all seven-rank officials.Of course, although the military attachés of the Ming Dynasty were not valuable, you have to see who you compare with.Compared with civil officials and gentry, among the military attachés, not to mention the seven-grade general flag, even if it is a five-grade thousand-grade official, he is still scolded by a seven-grade soldier and can't lift his head, let alone any six-grade hundred households or seven-grade general flag, from the seven-grade small flag.But the problem is that in the eyes of the common people, officials are officials, and the people who wear official newspapers are bigger than them, so they can be powerful and blessed to them.Xu Biao and Deputy Sentinel Wen can naturally eat meat, Quan Xu, the owner, can also eat meat, and Sanniang, a concubine, has no problem eating meat with Quan Xu, but ......
Even them, everyone eats meat, and that's too much luxury.Quan Xu ignored Shen Zhou's thoughts, and said lightly: "Buy it when you should buy it, just report it to Sanniang!"
”When Quan Xu came out, the silver he was carrying was not too much, only less than eight thousand silver coins, which should be enough to buy a ship."
Yes, sir!""
By the way, you and Shen Liangcai, buy a few more horses to make and make two new clothes!"
Quan Xu looked at the clothes on Shen Liangcai's body, which were already torn: "Count me as a reward, no one in our family wears torn clothes!"
”Shen Zhoushi then remembered that although Xu Biao and the others were wearing strange clothes, when she was washing clothes, she found that they were all thick cotton cloths, which were very strong and good-looking.Shen Liangcai hadn't worn new clothes since he had grown so big, and he said excitedly: "Master Xie!
”"Hmm!"
Quan Xu waved his hand and said: "By the way, inform everyone that you are not allowed to drink raw water, so the water must be boiled and drunk!"
”"Yes!"
Shen Zhou's family and the soldiers of the family, standing guard, feeding the horses, Quan Xu hugged Sanniang and fell asleep.The fifth month of the lunar calendar is already considered the height of summer, the night is short and the day is long, Quan Xu sleeps until he wakes up naturally, the sky is already bright, under the service of Sanniang, Quan Xu changes clothes and washes.Just when Quan Xu was having breakfast, Xu Biao was wearing a man with a melon skin hat, this man had a fight with Chen Ying's physique, and his smile was simply Maitreya Buddha.Due to the hot and humid weather, his clothes were already soaked with sweat, and he still held a handkerchief to wipe his sweat from time to time."
Master!""
Hello Master!"
In these years, as in later generations, it is the uncle who buys things.The Guppy Hat was very kind."
Master Quan, this is the shopkeeper Liu of the pawnshop!""
Oh!"
Quan Xu smiled: "Shopkeeper Liu still pawns the boat?
”Shopkeeper Liu smiled bitterly: "So that the whole master knows that our pawnshop has nothing to do!"
”"Is there a ship of 2,000 materials?""
Yes, don't say 2,000 materials, 3,000 materials are available on the ship!""
How much is a ship of 3,000 materials?"
The 2,000-material ship can carry more than 300 tons, and according to the records, Mao Wenlong of Phi Island had 28,000 soldiers, as well as the people of Liaodong, no less than 100,000 people.Naturally, the more the better.Shopkeeper Liu said with a smile: "There is a boat, now the sea is forbidden, and the whole master buys a boat, I am afraid that I will lose money!"
”"Will it be forbidden to go to sea empty?"
Quan Xu naturally knew that the Ming Dynasty forbade the sea, but it seemed to say that there was information that the sailors of the Ming Dynasty had completely rotted to the roots, especially the Dengzhou Sailors, who only had three broken ships left, and they were afraid that even going to sea would be a problem."
This, the key is whether the master has a way!""
Nope!"
Quan Xu looked at Shopkeeper Liu and said, "Shopkeeper Liu wants to have a way?"
”"Well, this one!"
Quan Xu glanced at Sanniang.Sanniang understood, and took out a glass cash cow from the room, which she held on a tray and covered with red satin.Sanniang slowly put the cash cow on the table, and Quan Xu gently lifted the silk satin, revealing the golden cash tree.Shopkeeper Liu's eyes instantly straightened.Quan Xu said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Liu, you are also a person who has seen the big market, this cash cow, take a look, can you borrow your way?"
”"This ......"
Shopkeeper Liu was ecstatic in his heart, he could see that Xu Biao and the others were all practitioners, and there was a faint bloody smell on their bodies, but they didn't look like a living sea ship, begging for a living at sea."
My 3,000-material ship was built for only three years, and it cost more than 7,000 taels of silver at that time!"
Quan Xu sighed: "It's a pity, I heard that this sea makes money, this money, it seems that Quan Mou has no ability to make it, Xu Biao, send it to Shopkeeper Liu for me, ......"
Shopkeeper Liu was anxious when he heard this, the pawnshop is famous for making black-hearted money, and the three-thousand-material sea ship does cost more than seven thousand taels, but in his pawn shop, he only pawned eight hundred taels.Eight hundred taels of silver, plus the small money of the Inspection Division, in exchange for a cash cow, he can be transferred to the capital with his performance."
This, Master Quan, look, who let the two of us fall in love like this!"
Shopkeeper Liu said with a smile: "I see that Quan Ye is also a bright person, I will lose some money, make you a friend, Quan Ye, look, when will we transfer the account?"
”"Xu Biao, you go and transfer with Shopkeeper Liu!""
Yes!"
Quan Xu looked at Sanniang again and made a look.At this time, Sanniang took out a plate of silver coins, and one hundred pieces were rolled into a roll with paper, a total of three hundred.Quan Xu grabbed the silver coin and rubbed it hard, and the silver coin flowed a whole tray with a bang."

Don't bother the second master, shopkeeper Liu, we are friends, I need a group of guys, can drive boats, familiar with sea ships, look at this favor, can you help!"
Shopkeeper Liu's eyes were so smiling that he couldn't see it: "Help, definitely help, Master Quan, you just wait for my letter, noon at the latest!"
”Shopkeeper Liu's hand flew up and down, and after a while, he put away the scattered silver coins, and walked outside with the cash cow in his arms.Sanniang was faintly worried: "Xianggong, you are not afraid of ......"
"He doesn't dare!"
”Quan Xu sneered: "It's best that he is honest and facilitates this deal, otherwise, I will smash his pawn shop!"
”…… At the Shuangdao Wharf, hundreds of officers and officials of the Dongjiang Army lined up in strict formation.Although their ranks are neat, however, most of the uniforms are in tatters, including Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town, he is wearing a purple official uniform, wearing a beam crown, standing in the center, his official boots are actually broken with two holes, and his big toe is exposed, which is very eye-catching in the crowd.In the distance, a three-masted gunboat was slowly approaching.This kind of warship is a Ming Dynasty sailor warship, very tall, with a head high and a tail, sailing quickly, not afraid of wind and waves.The tree is three masts, the main mast is three zhang high, the captain is two zhang, the cabin is five floors, the ship is set up as high as the city, it can accommodate 300 people, with eight red cannons, and 40 thousand catties of Buddha Lang machines.
(Note, the style of this ship construction has been lost, and only the wreckage has been unearthed on Dongshan Island.) ）After this three-gun boat, it was followed by two chain ships on the left and right, and a number of centipede ships.From a distance, the sail shadow is heavy, and it looks extremely spectacular.The gunboats are getting closer and closer, and on the flagpole of the big ship, there is a large banner hanging on it, which reads, "The military department is still the secretary of the military department and the right deputy of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, Liao and the governor of Deng, Lai, Tianjin military affairs, Zhen Ningyuan, and appease the ambassador Yuan." ”Chen Jisheng, deputy chief soldier of Dongjiang Town, whispered to Mao Wendong: "I'm afraid that the person who comes is not good!"
”Mao Wenlong shook his head: "Otherwise, the dog that bites people doesn't bark, the dog that can bark doesn't bite, and the surname Yuan will only bark, the bigger the formation he puts on, the more he doesn't come to find fault. ”Liu Xingzuo snorted in a low voice: "He dares!"
”Mao Wenlong looked at the muzzle of the gunboat, out of the vigilance of a veteran for many years, he was faintly a little uneasy, his eyelids jumped, he looked at Liu Xingzuo behind him and said, "Let the brothers, get ready!"
”"Yes!".
