October.

Fujian has fallen into a strange state.

The storm brought by the pirates at sea intensified, but the pirates on land were gradually wiped out.

October is the month when the typhoon lands and the sea is windy and rough. According to the law of Japanese pirate invasions in the past, the Japanese pirates will return to the Japanese country in October.

But this year, the "Deer King" seems to have "lived" on the southeast coast, and in October, he still robbed ships against the wind and waves.

The "Japanese pirates" plundered the sea, and the Tritons in Fujian did not dare to go to sea, but there were always some unbelieving sea merchants who went to sea.

Especially the few maritime merchant families who usually hang out with Japanese pirates, relying on their own "roads", they want to take advantage of this time when the sea road is cut off, and quietly make a fortune.

But as a result, all the ships of their families were robbed by "Japanese pirates" without exception.

As soon as King Lu's iconic Centipede and Guzu Dakai appeared on the sea, these slow-moving merchant ships did not dare to resist at all, so they could only obediently raise the white flag to surrender.

However, the "Deer King" seems to have changed her style. "She" robs merchant ships without killing people, but only robs ships and goods.

As long as it is a sea merchant who surrenders obediently, the "Deer King" will not kill people, but will only let the original crew take a boat and pull them to the shore, and let them go ashore by themselves to survive.

Even if it encounters resistance, the "Deer King" will not slaughter the crew, and his attitude is much gentler than before.

However, he has become more gentle with human life, and he has changed his tacit understanding with some maritime merchants in Fujian before when he treated property.

As long as it is a ship robbed by the "Deer King", all the ship and cargo are taken away, without any sympathy or leeway.

Some captains even offered to pay more ransom and asked for their ships to be released, but the "Deer King" also sternly refused, implementing the "two-empty" policy of looting all cargo and looting ships, leaving no room for it at all.

All of a sudden, King Lu became famous.

These maritime merchants who thought they could speak in front of the Japanese pirates were all robbed, and other maritime merchants dared not go to sea.

Maritime trade in Fujian is banned.

If Emperor Hongwu came back to life, he would be amazed that his sea ban order of "no boards allowed to go into the sea" was actually achieved under the awe of a "Japanese pirate".

The "Deer King" at sea is rampant in the sea, but the Japanese pirates on land are beginning to fall apart.

Sure enough, as Su Ze judged, these Japanese pirates on land left the support of the sea and became water without roots.

The Japanese pirates who attacked Sha County were unable to attack for a long time, so they decided to give up attacking Sha County and turn to looting the village.

But when these Japanese pirates were about to go to harm the village, they encountered the most powerful military organization in the Ming Dynasty - "Jia Ding".

The "family members" led by the gentry in Sha County not only defeated the Japanese pirates' attack, but also chased the Japanese pirates for dozens of miles, forcing the real Japanese leader out of Sha County.

Fujian has always been a tough folk, and the Chen family on the back of the mountain dared to fight with soldiers and guards like Changningwei.

If the Japanese pirates attack the city, then these gentry can ignore it, and the county magistrate shouts his throat, and no one is willing to rescue the county.

But the Japanese pirates attacked Zhuangzi outside the city, which was infringing on their interests.

The astonishing unity of the big clans in the counties erupted into impressive combat effectiveness.

And Fang Zhifu also followed his daughter's suggestion and changed his thinking about fighting against the Japanese.

Fang Zhifu changed from the old idea of ​​finding ways to send officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress, to offering rewards for bravely killing Japanese in townships all over the country to receive rewards.

A real Japanese head plus a Japanese sword can be exchanged for twenty taels of silver when sent to the magistrate's yamen!

In addition to the head, a Japanese sword is also added as a certificate for beheading Japanese pirates. Naturally, it is to prevent someone from killing people and pretending to be Japanese pirates to receive rewards.

After the promulgation of this order, the training of the volunteers in the townships and villages of Yanping Prefecture was like chicken blood. The real Japanese who invaded Yanping Prefecture were hunted down, and soon the Japanese riots in Yanping Prefecture were put down.

What, who pays for this money?

Yanpingwei, who was unwilling to fight at that time, came out. Whoever made Yanpingwei unable to beat the Japanese pirates, and no one would bleed, could only pay money.

However, Commander Yu is not considered a loss, Fang Zhifu still counted some gains on Commander Yu's head, which made Yanping Wei also show off at the Ministry of War and Fujian Dusi Yamen.

Commander Yu is going to continue to operate and let Yu Zongyuan take the martial arts exam next year. If he can pass the martial arts exam, then Yu Zongyuan can also get a world job. At that time, Commander Yu will continue to operate and give his second son a job. With some military merits, let the Yu family branch open up and spread out. If two generals come out, it will be a glory for the ancestors.

Our Yu Dayou from Fujian was just a hereditary thousand household before, isn't he also the deputy general of Zhejiang now?

Isn't it just paying for it? Commander Yu also figured it out, if you don't bring money to life or take it away, you have to spend the money that should be spent!

By October, the Japanese riots on land in various prefectures and counties have basically subsided, and the roads on land have resumed unobstructed.

It's just that the sea route is still completely cut off. It's a pity that such things as sea battles can't be useful only by rewards and soldiers' bravery. They really can't beat the "Deer King"!

After the traffic with the county town resumed, Nanping County returned to tranquility, so Hai Rui sent someone to inform Su Ze that he would go to the city to study again in mid-October.

With the recovery of road traffic in various places, the sales of "Surprise", which was not suspended during the Japanese invasion, ushered in further growth.

The reason for the increase is naturally that "Surprise" began to be sold to other counties.

The reason why "Surprise" can be sold so quickly is thanks to Mrs. Li, the prefect's wife.

Mrs. Li admired Su Ze's "The Peony Pavilion" very much, and liked the serialization of "The Peony Pavilion" more.

Although Mrs. Li has a Jinshi husband and a Juren younger brother, she doesn't love Yangchun Baixue all her life, but loves Liba people.

Mrs. Li not only loves to watch plays, but also loves to rehearse plays.

The poetry club she snatched from her daughter has become an opera club for the wives.

Mrs. Li simply filmed and sang in the opera club by herself.

Although an actor is a lowly profession, ladies and ladies rehearse plays and don't perform to make money.

I heard that Mr. Tuohu from Songjiang Mansion sometimes dressed up in costumes and sang on stage, but no one said he was insulting.

However, she needs to buy outfits and hire a band for singing, and Fang Rulan's hard-earned funds are running out.

Lin Xianyang, who was in the government office, knew about this and immediately sent someone to inform Su Ze.

Su Ze asked someone to find Chen Chaoyuan, and asked him to immediately send a deed to the government office, and donate 20% of the profits of the magazine "Surprise" every month to sponsor Mrs. Li to develop cultural undertakings in the government.

Sure enough, as soon as this move was made, the wives who participated in the Quyi club immediately doubled their favorability for the "Surprise" magazine.

Those who can attend Mrs. Li's party are naturally the top circle of ladies in Yanping Mansion.

Now that "Surprise" is going to be sold to other counties in the prefecture, who would dare to make a fool out of it?

It is said that a local club in a certain county wants to monopolize the channel of "Paying Surprise" and found Xiong Wu, who came to the county shop to sell the network, and asked them to sell the newspaper at a low price, or else all copies of "Paying Surprise" in the county would be sold. do not come in.

Xiong Wu just smiled, and the next day the local magistrate was furious, and all the backbones of the club were imprisoned, and everyone was handcuffed to the side of the Gong barrel, and they were taught for half a month before they were released.

It is said that the magistrate's wife got a good role at the next party of Mrs. Li's Quyi Club.

Now everyone in Yanping Mansion's black and gray business understands that "Surprise" cannot be messed with.

It's not just "Surprise" that you can't mess with, bookstores that sell newspapers, and newsboys who sell newspapers, these are all things that you can't mess with.

And there is another unlucky person caught by AOE, that is, Huang Shixing has just pirated a batch of "Surprise" and is going to sell it in Lin County to get back the cost of buying the printing house before.

He was reported after only selling one copy, and the county government was very quick to confiscate all Huang Shixing's pirated newspapers.

Mr. Huang lost everything again.

Lin Xianyang came back and brought another piece of good news, that is, the renovation of the nursing home that Su Ze took the lead in donating money was finally completed.

The first batch of children had already been admitted to the Nursing Home. Under Hai Rui's supervision, no one in the Nursing Home dared to make a profit from it. The Nursing Home provided the last bit of warmth and security to these street children in the city.

Fang Ruolan is in a good mood. She often visits the children in the Nursing Home. Compared with Huimin Pharmacy, the Nursing Home can help the children more directly. These days Fang Ruolan spends her time in the Nursing Home.

Another person in a good mood in Nanping County is Second Young Master Yu.

The Yu family was bleeding again recently, but the second son of Yu had already divided up the family property and moved out, and the money of the Yu family had nothing to do with him, so the second son of Yu applauded instead.

Later, Second Young Master Yu heard from his mother that his father intends to help him with the arrangements so that Yu Zongyuan can take the martial arts exam next year.

If he can pass the military examination and be conferred a military position, then he can become an official without inheriting his family's position?

Thinking of this, Second Young Master Yu is in a better mood. His father is using the money from the family to help him find a future!

Another thing that puts Master Yu in a good mood is that all four of his shops have made money.

After the rouge shop and the pickle shop were replaced by Changning Weilai's shopkeepers, the profits handed over to the second son each month were equal to the previous year's, which shows how much the former shopkeepers were greedy.

Needless to say, the bookstore makes money. Now the literate people in Nanping City visit the bookstore at least twice a month. Now that the scholars in Nanping County need to buy books, they will naturally think of Yu's bookstore. Profits naturally skyrocketed.

Another thing that pleased Second Young Master Yu was another cloth shop in his hands.

A washable blue dyed cloth has quietly become popular in Nanping County.

Indigo dyeing itself is the color of ordinary poor people. The bright blue dyed cloth quickly attracted the attention of housewives who are budget-conscious.

The dyed cloth sold by Yu's family is more expensive than ordinary dyed cloth, but if the blue dyed cloth is really washable as advertised, it can save a lot of re-dyeing costs.

A large part of the large and small dyeing workshops in the county are engaged in the business of re-dyeing.

The so-called re-dyeing means that after the original color of the fabric fades, it is re-dyed in the dyeing workshop.

Re-dyeing also costs money, and there will be no clothes for a few days after sending it for re-dyeing. Many poor scholars only have one set of clothes, and they are not willing to send clothes to re-dyeing.

But wearing faded clothes is shameless. Yujia Cloth Shop's so-called non-fading dyed cloth was quickly welcomed by housewives who are budget-conscious.

Although the price is more expensive, there is no need for re-dyeing, and the time and money saved are much more than this price difference.

The cloth business is also booming, and there are long queues in the cloth shop every day.

Some people are happy while others are worried. The business of Yujia Cloth Shop is booming. It is not only the colleagues who run the cloth shop who are jealous, but also the dyeing workshop of Mr. Cai's family who suffers losses.

This Cai Yuanwai is worthy of being a senior official of the Ministry of Household Affairs, so he is naturally very good at doing business.

Cai Yuanwai has almost monopolized the indigo planting in Nanping County, and almost all the indigo dyeing and spinning in the city is his family's industry.

Most of the transactions of basic necessities, food, housing and transportation are like this. Although the money is not much, it is more stable for a long time, and the collection of shops together is also a large amount of income.

But Yu's family sells more dyed cloth that is not easy to fade, and fewer people come to re-dye, and the business of Cai Yuan's family's dyeing workshop has dropped a lot.

Moreover, Cai's family not only runs a dyeing workshop, but also grows indigo in his village outside the city. The dyeing workshop has no business, and the indigo he grows cannot be sold.

If it's someone else's business, Mr. Cai naturally has hundreds of ways to stop him from running it, but it happens to be Yu's property.

Commander Yu was a hereditary military officer of the third rank, and Cai Yuanwai was only Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Household Affairs before he became an official.

The Yu family is a local rich family in Nanping during the Hongwu Dynasty. The Cai family only made their fortunes in the last three generations by studying the imperial examinations, and they are incomparable with the Yu family.

All this made Yuanwai Cai very depressed. Why did this martial artist from the Yu family suddenly become enlightened and become so powerful in business?

On October 2, Su Ze finally settled things on Dong'ao Island.

Lin Mojun stayed on Dong'ao Island for the time being. Wearing the full armor of King Lu, she drove Wuwan to rob these smuggling merchant ships. In addition to the ships of Fujian local maritime merchants, she also robbed a real Japanese merchant ship.

According to Lin Mojun, the Japanese on this merchant ship had a very arrogant attitude. They talked to Lin Mojun in the Japanese language for a long time, and finally Lin Mojun slashed and fed them to the sharks.

Su Ze interrogated the Japanese on the Japanese ship. It turned out that this ship was a trading ship of the Shimadzu family, the daimyo of Kagoshima, Japan. The Japanese who was beheaded by Lin Mojun was a franchised businessman of the Shimadzu family.

The ship was full of deerskins and was bound for Moon Harbor for business. After interrogation, Su Ze found a flag embroidered with the moon in the captain's room.

Captain Alfonso recognized that this was the ship guide issued by the Moon Harbor Chamber of Commerce. As long as the ships were flying this flag, they could sail into Moon Harbor to do business.

Su Ze thought that he had a wooden sign given to him by Zhang Haihu, which was the certificate for entering and leaving Yuegang by land.

Unexpectedly, the Yuegang Shipyin that I have been thinking about so much can be obtained so easily.

Looking at the "stolen goods" piled up on Dong'ao Island, it's time to sell them.

The "Japanese chaos" is still there, and of course it is still in the "Japanese chaos" volume.
