Chapter 754 Zhenhai Returns Home 2

"It's back, it's back!"

"We're ashore! We're ashore! Quick, quick, quick! Get the firecrackers ready!"

"Coming, sir! Ready!"

The dock was bustling with people, yet surprisingly orderly.

When the Zhenhai fleet arrived at Tongzhou Wharf, the ships returning were noticeably drafting more water than when they left.

"Sir, Captain Lin has asked you to prepare the warehouse. They have a batch of special goods that need to be transported down first."

"Oh? Special goods?"

"Alright, you guys go and make the arrangements. Clear out the entire warehouse where the materials are stored. The weather's been pretty good lately, so leaving the stuff outside should be fine."

"My subordinate understands!"

Qiu Cheng suppressed his excitement. The people below might not know what the special cargo was, but Qiu Cheng had a pretty good idea.

Fortunately, the facilities at the dock had been repaired; otherwise, I wouldn't have felt comfortable letting those goods be placed directly into the dock warehouse.

Actually, it would be best to transport it directly back to the capital, but Captain Lin made this decision perhaps because he received some imperial decree that he was unaware of.

Forget it, I'll just ask him myself once he gets off the ship.

"Be gentle! Be gentle! Don't break the goods."

"Got it, boss! We've had a great haul this time. We probably won't have to worry about food and drink for a year without working!"

The young crew member's mouth stretched so wide it reached his ears, his large, white teeth dazzling the eye.

"Look at your pathetic self! What do you mean by not working for a year? You're so young and you're already thinking about... oh right, wanting to lie down and relax!"

"What a loser! You're in the prime of your life, a time to build a career, don't just play dead and give up!"

Sure enough, he got scolded by his own captain.

"Uh, where did you learn all these new words? I've never even heard of them before."

"I learned it from our biggest boss, Captain Lin. What? You have a problem with that?!"

"No, no objection, how could I dare to have any objection? Whatever Captain Lin says is right!"

Upon hearing the captain announce the captain's name, the young crew member immediately fell silent.

You see the captain every day, you get to know him well and know his temperament, so you can still joke around with him.

Captain Lin, that killing machine, I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare.

He was even more ruthless than the military officers in the army. Take this voyage for example, they really witnessed Captain Lin's abilities.

The Japanese were babbling incoherently, and the Japanese were completely baffled.

The fleet had several thousand people, but only Captain Lin spoke that foreign language and could communicate with the Japanese on the island.

No one knows how Captain Lin persuaded—no, how he convinced—that the Japanese royal family sided with them within a few days.

Together with them, they defeated the people of the General's Mansion and seized true control of Japan.

The Japanese king was a man of his word, and he actually donated his country's silver mines.

And it was all free of charge; even now, they all still feel that their experiences over the past few months are too surreal.

We agreed that we came here to do business, didn't we?

So that's what you were doing—a business with no initial investment!

Winning a silver mine with no money is just too awesome!

Their Zhenhai fleet has a great name; it's both catchy and auspicious.

Zhenhai, Zhenhai, truly subdued the other side of the sea, and subdued the entire island and its inhabitants.

"Captain, the goods have been mostly moved and stored in the warehouse. Lord Qiu's men will arrange for them to be guarded all night."

"Well, there are still some local specialties on the ship for you gentlemen. Let's not put them in storage, but send them directly to your residences and keep a low profile."

"Yes, Captain, shall we go to Lord Jiang and Lord Qiu's place first?"

"Well, don't forget the other subordinates either, but don't be too obsequious."

We're all working for the court, and we're not asking for anything; we're just maintaining a good relationship. As long as our attitude is neither servile nor arrogant, that's fine.

"Understood, Captain."

After giving instructions to his subordinates, Lin Feng prepared to personally visit the Jiang family, since he owed his current status and position entirely to the Jiang family.

Of course, his main purpose was to go see his true master, Jiang Xiaoqi (Jiang Mingfei).

Although Jiang Xiaoqi did not go to the dock to join the fun, he had already prepared wine and food at home, waiting to welcome Lin Feng and the others.

Lin Feng, Jiang Wenqing, and Aunt Pan returned to the Jiang family home together.

This combination would have seemed odd in the past, but now it's surprisingly harmonious.

After all, they were no longer interacting in the same capacity as before; at sea, they were in a superior-subordinate relationship.

After a spring and a summer of trials at sea, Aunt Pan was transformed, displaying a remarkable spirit that rivaled any man.

The dependence in her eyes had disappeared, replaced by a sense of independence and freedom.

Jiang Wenqing's skin tone has darkened several shades; he really had a blast on this sea voyage.

Before even returning home, they were already asking about the next sea voyage date.

Jiang Xiaoqi actually admired them quite a bit, after all, spending several months at sea is something most people really couldn't endure.

Jiang Xiaoqi asked herself if she could endure the loneliness at sea, and the answer was that it was a bit difficult.

After all, he is a modern person. In his previous life, he had been involved in international trade and had seen the sea many times. He didn't actually yearn for life at sea that much.

Because he was aware of things but lacked curiosity, he didn't have much of aspiration.

However, he was still very interested in and longed to make money at sea.

Once Lin Feng and his team had become familiar with the area, he began to export Liuxiangge's products overseas, opening hundreds of Liuxiangge branches across the ocean.

Making money from the people of Da Zhou is not a skill; making money from those foreigners is the right way.

He also wanted to work hard to earn foreign exchange for the Great Zhou Dynasty, and exchange goods for foreigners' real gold and silver!
