"That's fine. I have a plan. Just focus on your other business."
Yang Hongye spoke with confidence.
In the past few months, Furong Chamber of Commerce has generated a lot of income for him.
In addition to the business with Jiang Hai, there is also income from salt.
As the refined salt trade flourished, some of the previously inferior salt would indeed flow into the hands of the public. This was exactly what Jiang Hai had imagined.
Yang Hongye also won over many court officials and military generals, and the number of people on his pirate ship has increased.
After his income increased, he was full of confidence. Since he had these two sources of income, Yang Hongye was no longer stingy when giving rewards.
Seeing that Yang Hongye didn't care, Yang Zhe felt worried and felt that his wallet was slowly shrinking.
Although the income has not been completely cut off, the Xuanwang Mansion still has quite a lot of industries, but the income of other industries combined may not be as much as that of the Jinshui Chamber of Commerce.
Yang Zhe felt very painful as his income was cut in half all of a sudden.
But there was nothing he could do. Yang Hongye was not going to help, and his ability was limited. He could only pray for a turnaround in the future.
After seeking help in vain, Yang Zhe could only go back in embarrassment.
On the way, he told Wu Yi to try his best to think of a way to see if he could contact the Japanese people he had met before.
However, he didn't know that those people had been blocked outside the East China Sea by Lu Laotie.
Lu Laotie’s fleet consists of twenty or thirty teams, each with two or three ships.
He felt that three ships were a waste. Most teams only had two ships, and only teams with three ships were left in the waters where the Japanese appeared more frequently.
We attacked the Japanese ships as soon as we saw them, without thinking twice. It had been a long time since I felt so refreshed.
Since the South China Sea was cleared, it has been a long time since their maritime legions have been able to move freely.
Dayong's merchant ships usually sail along the coastline and don't go too far away.
If Dayong's ship moves further away from the coastline, Lu Laotie's fleet will force it to stop for inspection.
Just to highlight the maritime hegemony, Laotie has been the most popular at sea recently.
He was having a lot of fun, but he had no fixed place to stay. Sometimes he was in this fleet, and sometimes he would switch to another fleet when he met another team. He ran around everywhere like a monkey on the sea.
A group of lieutenants and captains were so shocked by his silly laughter that their ears almost became pregnant.
The Japanese were frightened by these monsters, and now fewer and fewer ships dare to go out to sea.
I don’t know what the situation is on the other side of the strait. Maybe there will be rumors that there is a devil’s sea in the East China Sea again.
This is the situation recently. Lu Laotie and his friends have been on the sea for more than two months.
As Japanese ships became increasingly difficult to encounter, he left some ships to continue patrolling and led most of the ships to Xincheng.
Coming back to unload the cargo is what the Pirate Monkey King robbed. Well, his second-in-command, the captain, added the word "monkey" to his dream.
After some more supplies, I asked Jiang Hai if I could go out again after the New Year.
When passing by Nanzhou, Lu Laotie got off the boat early and went to sleep in the two brothels he had been longing for.
Then he rushed back by land, and the fleet was taken back to Xincheng in advance by other captains.
…
End of the year.
Xincheng has begun to feel a little bit of the New Year atmosphere, and the people of Xincheng, who have been busy for a year, have started their New Year holiday.
After Jiang Hai ran away from home and went to the military camp several times, Jiang Xiuyuan stopped.
Now I no longer stare at my son and let him do whatever he wants.
That day, Lu Laotie returned to Xincheng and went to talk to Jiang Hai about something.
"Master, we have made a great harvest. We have destroyed dozens of Japanese ships during this period."
"Well, have you encountered any human traffickers?"
“It happened once or twice in the beginning, but then it stopped because we kept them out.
It's probably because the Japanese ships couldn't get in, and the human traffickers had no market, so they didn't see them anymore."
Jiang Hai nodded. This idiot was really good at naval battles, so he praised him a few times.
Lu Laotie scratched his head and asked,
"Master, I want to go to the East China Sea after the New Year. Is that okay?"
"Sure, just make your own arrangements. You're taking the New Year so seriously this year. Didn't you say before that it doesn't matter whether you celebrate the New Year or not, since you're all alone?"
Jiang Hai asked Lu Laotie curiously. This guy had no relatives and was a piece of cake. If he had not been taken in by Jiang Hai, he would have most likely become a bandit.
"Hehe, I want to go to the painted boat to celebrate the New Year." Lu Laotie smiled.
Jiang Hai understood that this guy was still thinking about Miss Susu.
"My friend, Miss Susu is no longer in the painting boat. She has joined the New City Corps."
"Ah?" Lu Laotie was surprised and asked,
"When did it happen?"
"The last time we recruited soldiers, you set off for the East China Sea the next day."
"Oh, okay, then can I go to the military camp to celebrate the New Year this year?"
"Hmph, what do you want to do? You can go if you want, but just obey the rules and don't cause trouble."
"Hey, okay, thank you, Master."
After getting permission, Lu Laotie left Jiang Mansion happily.
All industrial zones in Xincheng have now come to a complete halt.
Huang Haitang's printing factory stopped production after stockpiling the last wave of New Year posters, calendars and other New Year items.
There are a lot more people flowing into the east and south of the city.
At the end of the year, people go out for a wild consumption spree, and the commercial areas are extremely busy during this period.
Jiang Hai took his wife out shopping. Now that there are entertainment activities organized by Yanchun Entertainment and others, the lives of people in Xincheng have become richer, and they no longer have to think about eating melons from the young master all day long.
Jiang Hai likes that he no longer attracts so much attention when he goes out.
"My dear, I missed the Mid-Autumn Festival, but during the New Year, our New City will be full of fireworks. You can enjoy it."
"Yeah, I'm a little bit looking forward to it. I heard Jiang Xin say it's very nice."
"That's right, it's something we only have here and we haven't sold it outside yet."
Wenzhi and Cai'er also came out together today, moving among the crowd.
"Are we going shopping?" asked Yuchi Ziling.
"Yes, just like everyone else, you see, this is the busiest time of the year here.
Everyone will come out to buy some New Year's goods to take home.
It's just about shopping, having fun, and relaxing after a busy year.
In addition to shopping, restaurants, theaters, resorts, amusement parks and other leisure and entertainment venues are all packed during this period."
Jiang Hai nodded in response.
Then Caier raised her hand, revealing her nature as a foodie.
"Master, let's go buy some food. There are many things we haven't eaten yet."
"Let's go, buy whatever you want and take it back with you. I'll pay for it today and all payments will be made via WeChat." Jiang Hai said with a smile.
The group of four joined in the year-end excitement of Xincheng in a relaxed and leisurely manner.
…
Not only is Xincheng bustling, but the entire Dayong is also bustling.
Of course, most of them are in cities, while some poor areas are still struggling to survive.
In Yuezhou City, the chubby young master also welcomed his first New Year after taking office. This year he did not return to the capital, but spent it in Yuezhou City.
However, Yuezhou City is much less lively than the new city.
