Wait! You can spend the New Year with ten taels of silver in your family, but you won’t be afraid of five hundred taels of silver in your life. Besides, people are not at home now, so you always have to be busy.

These people who run on the sea boat have some savings in their hands. If they are put back, they will be comfortable for a lifetime, or they will be happy for a few years.

In addition to the cannon killed the sunken ship, there were forty-five people left. The surname Tang, who was chosen, was called Tangshan. On the ship, it was a head of Guanfan. On the ship, it was ranked fourth and fifth.

When Tang Shan registered the service, he said that he was thirty-six years old, but the days at sea destroyed people, and the black pellet looked like he was in his forties.

They were different from the other two ships. The attitude of the surviving Tianjin Jinyi Guards on this ship was like a shark in the sea and his ancestors.

The cannon like thunder sounded, and the shells roared and flew everywhere. Seeing his companions being beaten into pieces and flesh and blood splattering everywhere, it was really a power like the sky and the earth being broken. If he could survive, the queen would appear. Once Cai Nan went to pick people, these people didn't dare to let out a breath.

Tang Shan bent down and walked out of the detention area. He looked at the river first and had a rough heart. However, he looked at the dozen or souvenirs by the river. Thinking about the conditions that Cai Nan promised him, he was slower and thoughtful.

After walking two steps, Tang Shan suddenly stopped and said:

"Young master talks about the matter, don't blame me.

Cai Nan naturally didn't care. He nodded with a smile, but Tang Shan knelt down with a plop, kowtowed and said:

"The master doesn't want these money anymore, and he doesn't want to be put back. He just wants to see the master.

No matter what, five hundred taels of silver is not a small amount. I am willing to give up the reward of the five hundred taels of silver and the freedom to get it easily, but I go to see Wang Tong. This is indeed difficult to refuse.

When he was brought to Wang Tong, Wang Tong was at the fort nearest to the seaport. It was the throat. Yesterday, he used artillery with gun mounts and carts to block the ship. After stopping the ship, he built craftsmen, laborers, and a large number of materials were transported over. A small fortress had at least four cannons set here.

Cai Nan led the people and briefly told the situation. He led Tangshan to come up. Tangshan was slightly shorter than Wang Tong, but very strong. When he saw Wang Tong, he knelt down without saying a word and kowtowed more than a dozen times.

Wang Tong narrowed his eyes and said, "What are you going to see me?"

"The young master is not willing to ask for the five hundred taels of silver. He doesn't want to go back. He just wants to follow the old master to get on the boat at the age of fourteen. He has been on the sea for twenty-two years. He is familiar with the sea and understands the boat. He has been to all over the north and south. Seeing that the old master lacks people in this area, the young master is always useful to the old master. He is willing to follow the old master to get the job done and sell his life to the old master.

After saying that, he bumped and kowtowed again, and he used great force. Even Cai Nan next to him felt a headache. Wang Tong looked at Tang Shan a few times. Blood was already seen on the other party's forehead, so he did not stop.

Wang Tong looked at the river surface. The mast of the wreck was still exposed on the water surface. A group of people were dealing with it, otherwise the ship would be a major harm to the Haihe River in the future.

Three ships fled with sails, and one ship was sunk by cannons. This person was on the ship. It would not be such a coincidence. Such a person would be specially arranged to be by his side.

Moreover, Wang Tong felt a little different about this Tangshan. This person had a passionate climbing upwards and a ability to seize opportunities.

I do lack people who understand sea transportation and know nothing about ships and routes. However, the Ming Dynasty has been banned from the sea for many years and Tianjin is a military port, so it is almost impossible to recruit talents who understand this.

Otherwise, if we checked these ships yesterday, we would have to let the prisoners go together. Tianjin is a harbor, and there are many places where such talents can be used, whether it is economic or military.

If you are ambitious, you are afraid of being incompetent. Tang Shan may have analyzed something yesterday before he decided to surrender. Wang Tong admires such a person very much.

"Get up, finish the errands first and then talk about Xiao Cai, put on the Jinyiwei robe and change it to him."

Wang Tong said lightly, Tang Shan immediately stopped kowtowing. His forehead was already bloody, but his face was full of excitement. Wang Tong took him in.

After being tossed by this, Wang Tong became curious and simply explained the matter on the fort and went to the sea boat with Cai Nan and others to inspect it.

The boss and several leaders of the seaship ship who demanded to pay the tax and fine were called out. Their ship was lucky. The shells made several holes in the hull and had time to get to the shore.

When Wang Tong and a dozen people around him came here, they could still see the ship restocking there. Several people on the ship were surrounded by soldiers from the Jinyiwei, but they still smiled behind and said:

"Master, I offended the master's power yesterday. The young people don't know what happened. Today, the people who are willing to make up for the younger ones are really lard. The master is so fair, the young people actually want to go to the younger ones to discuss. Even if the business does not make a penny, they must follow the rules of the master.

Wang Tong walked onto the board, heard this, and smiled and turned around and joked:

"If you have nothing to do, you will either be traitor or steal. If you really tell me your suspicion and dismantle your ship, you can see what tricks you can hide."

After saying this, the faces of the ship turned black. Wang Tong turned his head and whispered through Tang Shan, who was two people:

"Look at this boat, how deep is the water

Wang Tong glanced at the hull and it was indeed a long distance. Tang Shan said, "Master, I don't know that after crossing Haizhou, the Haihe River in Tianjin Wei can get so deep, it's enough rain, and there is no sand in the river."

There were two small cannons as thick as bowls on the deck, which surprised Wang Tong. When he approached and saw that the words engraved on the cannon should be Western. According to the experience of making cannons, such cannons could not even reach a pound and could only hit more than a hundred steps. I don’t know where they were used.

Tang Shan really understood, and quickly explained:

"Master, this is an eagle cannon. When the sea is fired, you have to rely on this cannon to sweep the people on the other side's ship. It's very useful.

The boat's ship was also on the deck. When Wang Tong was quite interested in observing the cannon, he couldn't help but let go of his heart. This was obviously a man who had never been on the boat. He was afraid that he would do anything, so he just said a few words.

After getting off the cargo hold, you can see that many poplin rolls were smashed. It seems that they were shot, but it is easy to say that the others are covered with oil cloth and tied very close with ropes.

"There are 3,100 pieces in total. The master cuts the rope and checks it. It is the young people who say something offended. Although the beaten up, the bad ones belong to the villains. The taxes and fines will be paid according to the number of these 3,100 pieces. The tax amount granted by the master is low, which is a chance for the young people to make money. If you don't know the number, it will be embarrassing for the young people."

What he said was indeed passionate, but Wang Tongyu was disbelieving, but Tang Shan stepped forward and whispered:

"Master, there is something underneath."

Wang Tong has also learned about this structure similar to the modified Fu Ship Seaship in the past two days. Generally, there are cabins from one to two floors, and the bottom cabin is below.

The structure of the bottom cabin is similar to the box assembly, connected into a grid-shaped box wall to support the upper cabin. Although there is space below, it is less than three feet high and quite wet. The ship is at sea for ten days and a month of tossing, the cargo will become wet if it is placed there.

Also, because the sea storms do not shaking, ships usually place large stones there in order to maintain stability, which are called silo stones.

This is also the experience Wang Tong heard after the inspection yesterday. After Tang Shan said this, he became curious and turned around and gave a few instructions. This time he clearly saw the few people on the boat who had been talking generously, and their faces changed.

After opening it, it was very dark below. When the torch was lit, it looked down. The wide-mouthed wine jar was higher than the calf, and the oil paper and mud seal on it were all complete.

“Master

The few people shouted out at the top of their voices, and Wang Tong waved his hands impatiently, and several soldiers immediately put the people on the deck.

"What's this?"

Wang Tong asked in surprise, was it a gold, silver and treasure ware? Tang Shan felt relaxed when he saw that his judgment was not bad, and he actually said in the official language with a strong Fujian accent:

"Master, please guess, go down to move and see

Since this ship cannot hide its personal information, Wang Tong was also relaxed. When he heard this, he jumped out of the bottom cabin and hugged the wine jar and tried hard.

Wang Tong worked hard all day long, and his strength was really not moving. This wine jar was so scattered. He had not moved a little, which shows how heavy it was.

"Is it gold and silver here?"

In Wang Tong's impression, the amount of gold and silver is the one that can have such a large amount. Looking at Wang Tong's face full of confusion, Tang Shan said with a smile:

"Master, the hunched man has more gold and silver than the Ming Dynasty. If you transport it, you will definitely lose money. The wine jar contains mercury.

Mercury” Wang Tong’s first reaction was the silver column in the thermometer. What could this thing be used to traffic in the ocean to Luguo? This time Tangshan did not keep it in a silence and said with a smile:

"Luguo gold and silver mines are numerous and need mercury to extract, so the price is high. Do you know how much you can earn a pound of mercury? 50 kilograms of mercury or just 45 kilograms of mercury from Shaanxi. If you transport it to Luguo, you can sell it for 700 kilograms, and sometimes you can even sell it for 850 kilograms. It is a huge profit to transport mercury and oxtail medicine to Luguo. The small mercury in this ship is probably not less than 2,000 kilograms. The master calculated it."

Wang Tong was good at mosaicing, but he gasped. He didn't think he could make double the profit of poplin, but the profit of mercury alone was more than 20,000 taels.

If you want to get two of the 100% profit, and add two% fines, then there will be such a cheap thing.
