Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Keelung Port is divided into an inner port and an outer port. Among them, the inner port also has Niuchou Port, which is a military port. Many commercial banks were built around Niuchou Port, which also attracted many people to live there, especially the inner port.  Nearby, many residents gathered to read the full text of My Goddess Wife.

    In a residential area on the west side of the Inner Harbor, in an ordinary small house, there lives a young couple. They just moved here not long ago, but the couple are very kind to others, and the house is full of people.  The families of the Slave Catchers Association lived there, and the men who worked outside knew each other very well, so after the couple moved here, they quickly became familiar with the neighbors.

    Today, the young couple got up very early. Before dawn, the wife, who was not tall but extremely beautiful, got up and made breakfast. Then the young husband was also called up. Under the gentle service of his wife, he drank a lot.  Eat a big breakfast that is not rich, but made with great care.

    The gentle wife also took a few bites, but most of the time she watched her husband eat with gentle eyes. At the same time, thinking of the madness last night, a layer of bright red clouds rose up on her face.  This made the husband who was eating see it, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm. Although it was already late, the departure was imminent, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back after leaving.  Thinking of this, he could no longer care about anything. He suddenly carried his wife into the bedroom, closed the door amidst his wife's exclamations, and then there was another sound that made people's ears red and heartbeat.

    After a long time, the sounds in the bedroom calmed down, and then there was the sound of people getting dressed in a hurry. At the same time, the wife complained in Chinese with a weird accent: "It's all my husband's fault. I could have gotten to the ship earlier, but now it's such an hour."  It¡¯s too late, it will be too late if we don¡¯t hurry up.¡±

    Regarding his wife¡¯s complaint, the young husband said with a cheeky smile: ¡°How can you blame me for this? If you want to blame me, blame me for being too seductive. My husband really can¡¯t control it!¡±

    The couple were talking privately, but their hands moved very quickly. They quickly got dressed and went out again. However, the wife's face showed a bit of love that had not faded, while the husband looked satisfied.  .  If Li Min were here, he would definitely be very surprised to find that he knew both of these two people, and his husband was Feng Shijie, who was recuperating on his ship when he returned to Sixi from the Japanese slave port.  As for the wife with a weird accent, it is the Japanese girl Yunjian Qiuji who was replaced by Feng Shuyu.

    After Feng Shuyu replaced Yunjian Qiuji with herself, she stayed in the palace. She was nominally a maid in the palace, but in fact she was one of Li Min's royal chefs.  Whenever Li Min got tired of the food at home, he would think of asking Feng Shuyu to make some unique side dishes for him, and he didn't think much about the rest.

    Feng Shijie was very opposed to this approach of his sister Feng Shuyu at first. After all, although he wanted to be with the woman he loved, he was not willing to exchange it with his own sister.  It's a pity that this matter was agreed between Li Min and Feng Shuyu, and he was not allowed to object at all.  And Li Min didn't do anything right. He told Feng Shijie that as long as he brought one thousand guan to the palace, he could redeem Feng Shuyu.  Although this matter is difficult.  But it wasn't impossible, so after that, all Feng Shijie could think about was money.

    After the King of Qi arrived at Sixian, Feng Shijie took Yunjian Qiuji off the ship.  Then, under the witness of their sister, the two held a simple ceremony in a temporary rented house.  From then on, they officially became husband and wife.  From then on, Feng Shijie devoted himself wholeheartedly to making money, hoping to earn enough one thousand gu as soon as possible to redeem his sister and let his wife live a good life.

    Feng Shijie has good carving skills, and he also understands architecture. In addition, he is literate in writing and arithmetic. It can be said that he is a relatively sought-after talent.  Especially after the Baekje people in Sixi City moved out, most of the Han merchants who moved into the city needed to build houses, so Feng Shijie quickly found a well-paying job with his skills.

    Unfortunately, after working for a month, Feng Shijie suddenly discovered that although the job in his hands was well-paid, if he wanted to earn a thousand gu in a short period of time, it would be nothing more than a dream.  However, he was not discouraged, because during this month in Sixi, he discovered that there were many opportunities to make money in various territories of King Qi, and it depended on whether he had the ability to grasp them.

    After another month of investigation, Feng Shijie finally found a shortcut to make a fortune, which was to run a ship. The so-called sailing actually meant working as a crew member on a ship. Originally, the work of a crew member was a hard and tiring job, but with the prosperity of maritime trade,  The work of running a ship requires more and more manpower. In order to attract some relatively high-quality crew members, ship owners often offer some very generous conditions. For example, the crew members on a ship, depending on their occupation, can each carry a certain amount of money with them.  Ninety percent of the income from private cargo in terms of size and weight belongs to the crew and 10% goes to the ship owner.

    This condition may seem inconspicuous, but for all crew members, it is the most important gain.Source of income, because the profits from sea trade are so huge. For example, if a common porcelain vase from the Tang Dynasty was shipped to a small native island in Southeast Asia, it might be worth a hundred times. It would not be unusual to exchange it for the same volume of gold, so  Nowadays, people who run boats don't really care about the wages paid by the boat owners. What they mainly care about is the size of the private goods that the boat owners allow them to read.

    The rewards for running a boat are huge, and if you are lucky, you can get a hundred times the profit for the private goods you carry. But as the saying goes, the sea is ruthless, and running a boat also requires taking great risks. Although in the past two years, due to the construction of new ships,  , has reduced the risk of running a ship a lot, but occasionally there will still be news that the fleet is swallowed up by wind and waves.

    ¡°However, the reason why Feng Shijie made up his mind to take the risk of running a boat was not only because he knew that running a boat was allowed to carry private goods, but two other pieces of news that really tempted him.  These two pieces of news are nothing secret. The first piece of news is that the King of Qi designed several instruments for use when going to sea, and opened a special navigation academy in Dengzhou to teach how to use several instruments.  The second news is that these instruments are very important for navigation. All fleets are recruiting such talents, and the conditions offered are even extremely favorable, and the amount of private goods allowed to be carried is several times higher than that of ordinary crew members.

    After hearing the above two news, Feng Shijie inquired in many ways, and finally decided to take his wife to leave Sixian for Dengzhou, and then study at the Navigation Academy while working.  Feng Shijie was already literate, and as a person who understood architecture, his arithmetic skills were much better than those of ordinary scholars, and he even knew some astronomy related to Feng Shui.

    It was precisely based on the above foundation that Feng Shijie spent several months studying hard. He not only learned how to use various navigation instruments, but also learned navigation skills such as drawing charts, observing ocean currents, and wind directions, and successfully graduated from the Navigation Academy.  And obtained a certificate issued by the academy. With this certificate, wherever he goes, there will be fleets vying to hire him.

    It was also under this situation that after Feng Shijie graduated, he happened to encounter the Slave Catcher Association in Taiwan recruiting people, and the rewards were generous. Every time he went to sea, he was allowed to bring five cubic steps of goods, which greatly tempted Feng Shijie, so he  They came to Taiwan with their wives, and the place where they live now was arranged for them by the Slave Catchers Association.

    After Feng Shijie came to Taiwan, he had already gone to sea twice with the slave-catching team recruited by him. Because of his excellent performance and the fact that he was a senior graduate of the Navigation Academy, he was always highly valued.  A few days ago, Yanbei selected people from within the association to explore new slave hunting grounds, and Feng Shijie was also selected.

    Although Feng Shijie was selected for this exploration, it was up to him to decide whether to participate or not. After all, this trip would take a long time and be risky, and most of the crew members were people with families, so there were many  No one is willing to go, of course, but there are a few single guys who are eager to try.

    Feng Shijie and his wife have been married for less than a year, and now they have a good income. It will take only a few years to save up a thousand coins, so he has reason to refuse this trip to sea, but he still can't let go of his sister in Prince Qi's palace.  , although he knew that with the generosity of King Qi, his sister would not suffer at all there, but she still had no freedom after all, so Feng Shijie wanted to redeem his sister sooner or later.

    For those who participated in the exploration this time, the Slave Catching Association offered extremely generous rewards. The first was that the islands they explored were evaluated internally according to the value of the slaves on them, and a hundred percent of the total price was given.  One of them will be given to the crew members participating in the exploration. The second is to allow the crew to double the amount of private goods they can carry. For example, Feng Shijie used to be able to carry five cubic steps, but now he can carry ten cubic steps.  In addition, if an accident occurs during exploration, the association will compensate their families a large amount of money, which is enough for their families to live a prosperous life.

    The conditions offered by the association are extremely generous, especially for Feng Shijie. If this exploration is successful, he can get a large amount of money. With this money, not only can he redeem his sister, but he can also  With the first pot of gold in life, you might be able to buy a small sea boat and start your own business.

    Based on the above considerations, Feng Shijie finally decided to participate in this exploration after weighing it for several days. His wife Yunjian Qiuji had the excellent qualities of a Japanese woman of this era and unconditionally supported all her husband's decisions. This is also  Let Feng Shijie have no worries.  And today is the day they are going to set sail.

    Feng Shijie hurriedly got dressed, and then told his wife a few words to let her feel at home at home. If something happened, she could ask her neighbors for help, and she could also ask the Slave Catchers Association for help. For those of them who were overseas,  The association will take special care of their families.  As for the safety of his wife at home alone, Feng Shijie is not worried, because this is the residential area of ??the association. Not only are there police patrols from Keelung City, but there are also internal security guards from the association.?If anyone comes here to cause trouble with no open eyes, then he is simply getting tired of living.
