“So 80% of it was really given to the people?”

“They really gave it to us. We saw it with our own eyes. This time the government is behaving properly,” a great warrior sighed. “At the end of June, there was a strong wind and heavy rain in Fujian for several days. Even the big trees that had been planted for decades were uprooted. The disaster was very serious. If the government still covets this money at this time, not to mention the local people, we will all rebel!”

The hero was full of resentment when talking about this matter. He whispered, “There will be a rebellion in Ninghua, Fujian. According to the news in the martial arts world, it is because the officials of the court forced the people to mine silver. The miners could not survive. In addition, there was a heavy rain at the end of June, and the court did not provide disaster relief in time. Ye Zongliu took advantage of the people’s livelihood being cut off and gathered thousands of people with a little encouragement. I heard that they have now occupied three counties and gathered more than 20,000 people.”

Pan Jun withdrew his gaze, stopped listening, and walked towards the ship.

When she came back, she put two helmsmen on each boat, all of whom were given to her by Chen Wen.

Pan Yun found one of them and asked him to find a way to pass the message to Chen Wen, and then stood on the boat and looked down at all the living beings.

The officials surrounded Alliance Leader Lin and Gao Zhiming, who were eyewitnesses, and asked them to tell them in detail what happened during the trip to Japan, especially about the silver mines;
The heroes were hugging and crying with their friends, sharing their heartfelt feelings with each other. They were divided into three groups at the time, and all of them had casualties.

Especially the heroes who attacked Dongyang Island, because that place had the largest number of pirates, the strongest combat power and the most complete weapons, so many were killed and injured.

Gao Zhiming also had some junior brothers and sisters who died at sea.

But mostly I am happy to be reunited.

On a large road cleared by the crowd were hundreds of barefoot laborers in shorts and shorts. They were hunched over, carrying or carrying cargo from the ship, and placing the sacks and boxes in different locations according to the instructions of several people…

Chen Lan and Chen Han stood beside Gong Xia, chatting and laughing with everyone, with happy looks on their faces.

Among the many people, only Xue Shao was missing.

Xue Shao had left at some point, and Qu Le found his way onto the boat, and cowardly handed a letter to Pan Yun: “Xue Shao asked me to give it to you.”

Pan Jun took it and opened it casually, then asked, “Why do you look like that?”

Qu Le: “Xue Shao was taken away by the Jinyiwei. I heard from Chen Liutao that the silver mine incident has become a big deal, and there is a rebellion in Jiangnan. He is likely to be held accountable.”

Seeing that Pan Yun was indifferent, Qu Le asked anxiously: “You don’t care?”

Pan Yun was helpless: “You think I’m an emperor… a god who can control everything.”

She opened the letter, read it quickly, and replied casually: “I am just a little Taoist priest. I can’t even solve the problems of the villagers at the foot of the mountain, let alone Xue Shao’s?”

Xue Shao only left one sentence: “Gong Xia is considered honest in the navy office, but he is not smart, easily impulsive, and suspected of being lazy in government affairs. However, he is loyal and compassionate, so he can be used; although he is lightly criticized and neglected, as long as he is slightly guided, he will become ambitious and can be used.”

It was both usable and easy to use, and he even found her a tool before he left.

Pan Yun folded the letter and held it in his palm. With a little force, the paper broke into pieces and fell to the ground.

Qu Le opened his mouth wide: “Why are you broken? What did he say in the letter?”

“He said that you are a man of loyalty and righteousness, and asked me to treat you well. If I have trouble in the future, I can ask you for help from the Wulin Alliance.”

Being loyal and righteous is the highest praise for a chivalrous man. When Qu Le heard this, he was very happy and patted his chest to promise: “With a relationship like ours, why do we need to be polite? If you have any problems in the future, just call me, and don’t do those empty things.”

Pan Yun nodded: “Okay, I have something to entrust to you now.”

Qu Le was slightly stunned: “So fast? You tell me.”

Pan Yun pointed at the goods at the port and said, “Please help us clear our goods. There was a rebellion in Yushan County, so we decided to go back…”

Qu Le understood instantly: “Do you need money for disaster relief? I heard that there are serious floods and mudslides over there.”

Pan Yun nodded: “Yes, so I’ll sell it even if the price is lower, as long as I don’t lose money.”

“That won’t work. We’ve worked so hard to bring the goods back, how can we not make any profit?” Qu Le thought for a moment and said, “The refined iron is easy to sell. There are many people here, and everyone wants to make weapons. The price is suitable for easy sale. Lacquerware is a little harder, but not that difficult. I’ll ask my grandfather. My family’s business can take any amount of goods.”

The major items of goods they imported from Japan were fine iron and lacquerware, all of which were purchased through the Masuda family.

Some heroes found it troublesome and simply did not even buy the refined iron, but directly purchased a large number of Japanese swords.

The Japanese katana is similar to the Tang Dynasty’s horizontal sword. Its craftsmanship is average, but it is made of high-quality iron. When ordinary weapons collide with it, it can actually knock a hole in the opponent.

Hu Jing had some experience in ironwork, and after just one look he said, “Although the craftsmanship is a little poor, if we take it back and have the blacksmiths polish it a little, its sharpness and toughness can be increased by another 20%.”

When the heroes heard this, they were too lazy to buy lacquerware and fine iron, and went straight to buy swords.

For ordinary people, the temptation of finished knives is far greater than that of fine iron, because they may not be able to find a good blacksmith to make weapons; they may not have the money to customize them…

Therefore, the refined iron produced by Pan Yun and his friends is not that tempting here, especially since many heroes have purchased the refined iron.

Selling here, supply exceeds demand, it’s really dumping, and it really can’t be sold at any price.

But who is Qu Le?

He raised his arm and called all the heroes who went out to sea with them, saying, “Master Pan needs to raise relief funds for Yushan County, so she urgently needs to use the fine iron. Don’t use your swords and fine iron for the time being. Wait until she has finished using them.”

When the heroes heard this, they immediately agreed and ran to find their friends who wanted to buy knives or fine iron from them before and said, “I won’t sell you my knives and iron.”

friend:……

“Go buy it from Taoist Sanzhu. She is in a hurry to exchange money for relief for Yushan County. Don’t bargain with her. If you buy it too expensive, I will use my fine iron to make up for it for you later.” When the friend heard this, his face darkened and he said unhappily, “We have been friends for many years. You miss me so much? Why do I need you to make up for it?”

He snorted coldly and asked, “Where is Taoist Sanzhu’s fine iron? I want to buy two pieces! The highest price!”

When Song Xuan heard about this, she also rejected the requests of her fellow juniors to buy the fine iron. Not only did she ask them to buy Pan Yun’s, she also went to Gao Zhiming to discuss: “Should we sell the fine iron we brought back to Taoist Pan as relief funds?”

Gao Zhiming had no objection.

In just a moment, the news spread across Quanzhou Port, and the heroes all donated generously, paying for it regardless of whether they needed fine iron or not.

The price Qu Le offered was 10% lower than the market price in the Ming Dynasty, so Pan Yun could make a lot of money, and the heroes would not lose out either.

The price is 10% lower, and the quality of this refined iron is better than that on the market. Whether the heroes use it for themselves or resell it, they will make a profit.

A complete win-win.

Miao Zhen looked at the whole scene and said, “I didn’t expect that he looked stupid, but he is actually a good businessman.”

Pan Yun: “Even if he doesn’t do it, he will be better than ordinary people. This is the origin of the family tradition.”

Pan Yun did not look down on businessmen at all. On the contrary, he admired them very much.

Li Wenying stood behind her without her noticing, and chuckled, “Don’t say the words ‘family tradition’ in front of outsiders, or they will misunderstand that you look down on Qu Le.”

Pan Yun glanced at him and said, “Whether they are officials, gentry, merchants, craftsmen or farmers, if they can succeed and do their best, they are all very capable people and should be admired, regardless of their status.”

Li Wenying smiled and said, “We are Taoists, so we naturally think so, but the world doesn’t think so, especially them.”

Li Wenying raised his chin and pointed at the officials and gentry surrounded in the middle.

Pan Yun said bluntly: “Why should I care about what they do? Why should I care about what others do?”

“That’s a good attitude!” Li Wenying smiled and said, “So you don’t care about our lives, and you decided to give us a big one outside?”

Pan Jun looked at him curiously: “Why are you so resentful? Zhang Ziming is not as angry as you. I think he is quite happy.”

Li Wenying sighed and hesitated to speak.

Pan Yun: “Speak!”

Li Wenying was silent for a moment, but still shook her head: “Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with you. It’s done, the impact has been made, and it can’t be changed. What we can focus on is the future.”

Pan Jun looked at him quietly.

Li Wenying was relieved and said with a smile: “Just do whatever you want to do.”

Pan Yun raised his chin and pointed down, saying, “It’s already being done.”

Li Wenying glanced at the heroes who were rushing to buy below and said, “It’s just a drop in the bucket.”

Pan Yun didn’t care: “If we can save one, then that’s one.”

Li Wenying: “After all these years, I still haven’t learned the optimism of you at Sanqing Mountain.”

Pan Yun: “So you can’t enter Sanqing Mountain.”

Pan Yun asked him, “Are you particularly envious of the fact that Fourth Senior Sister is a disciple of Mount Sanqing?”

Li Wenying rolled her eyes unceremoniously and said, “As long as I think of the idiot Tao Ji being in Sanqing Mountain, I don’t feel envious at all.”

He sighed, “It’s really hard work, Junior Sister Li!”

Miaohe next to him glared at him fiercely.

Li Wenying looked puzzled: “Why is she glaring at me?”

Pan Yun: “Third Senior Brother is her master.”

Seeing that Miaohe was already touching the hilt of his sword, Li Wenying tactfully stopped talking.

What followed was silence, and everyone watched the excitement under the boat in silence.

Gong Xia and others were surprised at Pan Yun’s appeal. Quanzhou prefect Lu Mingzhe’s eyes flickered and he sighed, “I didn’t expect that Taoist Priest Pan has such a high reputation. I heard that she is very young, still a little girl. I came too late and didn’t see her. I wonder where she went?”

When Alliance Leader Lin heard this, he immediately looked around.

As soon as I looked up, I saw Pan Yun on the bow turn around and leave, and disappeared from my sight in a short while.

His silly nephew followed her.

He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and smiled instead: “She has been on the expedition for more than a month. She has a heavy responsibility and has not been able to rest all the way. Now that she has returned to her hometown, her mind is relaxed and her body is inevitably sleepy. She should be resting. If Governor Lu wants to see her, why not wait until she has rested before seeing her.” (End of this chapter)
