[0281 Brother is not born to be strong, brother is born to be strong]

"Now unload all the things on the ship, and don't miss anything, unload them all!" Wei Bao instructed Luo San stunned.

"Yes, President!" Luo San was stunned and agreed, and called hundreds of people in the industrial area to start unloading.

Hundreds of people heard about the unloading and happily agreed.

The people at the bottom don't understand too many things about the people above, anyway, the bigwigs will do whatever they want them to do, this is a direct order from the son, and everyone is naturally happy to do it.

The more I know that I can unload the goods, that is, the sale of the son is completed, and I don't have to fight and kill, so I am even happier.

Yan Siqi frowned, and wanted to say something, but forcibly held back.

Yan Siqi's group of righteous brothers are all ship owners and leaders, and at this time, everyone can't say anything, and it's very unpleasant to watch people move their own things like this.

But now that 500 people have been separated, it seems that there is no need at all and no chance to resist again.

Yan Siqi and their ships mainly carried grain and grass, but not as much as 2,000 stones, only 960 stones.

The rest were weapons and necessities, and then their personal belongings.

Wei Bao said with a smile: "I said that I would leave 100 stones of grain and grass for you, and I will definitely keep it, you don't have to worry." I'll leave a boat for you! Now you 28 stewards have taken out your personal belongings, and I'm going to see what you have brought with you, and then decide who to keep. ”

"I can't stay!" Yan Siqi resolutely said to Wei Gongzi, only then did he know what Wei Gongzi's idea was, it turned out that he wanted to choose which person to keep by checking the items? Secretly said that this Wei Gongzi is really a ghost, and this method can also be figured out? He is the backbone of these people, and if he stays, it means that all of them will stay.

The other pirate leaders also think that Wei Gongzi is very smart, using items to pick people, this is indeed the best way, from a person's belongings, you can see a lot of things, you can see a person's interests, knowledge, and even talents, more intuitive than any way.

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I won't pick you!" You can now take out your items and go to the side to write your allegiance. ”

Wei Bao said to Lin Wenbiao: "Prepare a table and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone!" ”

Lin Wenbiao agreed, and hurriedly asked someone to bring the table and prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. This is the dock, next to the construction site, and there is no shortage of these things that need to be bookkept.

Yan Siqi depressedly went to pack his belongings, and then wrote a message of allegiance according to Wei Gongzi's request.

The other 27 leaders also came over one by one.

"Let me say okay first, I only select 5 people, and those who are selected by me, whether they like it or not, must be under my hands, and there is no need to say anything. If you are not happy to be under my hands, after three years, you can choose to leave, I will not stop you, and give 1000 taels of silver as a parting gift! Wei Bao said to the 27 pirate leaders, "But I hope that no matter what I ask, everyone will tell me the truth." ”

Everyone is a man who is crawling in the bloody rain, listening to Wei Bao say it so directly, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he is rewarded with 1000 taels of silver, and he is all moved, and he should accept it, and promise that no matter what Wei Bao asks, he must know everything and tell the truth.

When the leaders came to get something, Wei Bao had a brief chat with each of them and asked where they were. What are your strengths?

"What's your last name? Do you have any special features? Wei Bao asked very directly, and did not beat around the bush.

"My name is Zheng Yiguan, and I don't have any special skills." The man's urn sounded and the urn said.

Wei Bao was stunned, Zheng Yiguan? Why is this name so familiar? He knew Zheng Zhilong more clearly, but the name Zheng Zhilong used before, or his real name, Wei Bao was relatively unfamiliar.

Wei Bao talked to this Zheng Zhilong, thought for a while before reacting, and guessed that this person's eight achievements were Zheng Zhilong!

Zheng Yiguan, father Zheng Shibiao. In the thirty-second year of Wanli (1604), he was born in a small official family in Shijing, Nan'an, Fujian, which was a fishing village in southern Fujian.

Zheng Yiguan is "less down-and-out", has been studying maritime affairs since he was a child, "has a loose temperament, does not like to read, has strength, and is a good fist", relaxed and indulgent, gradually wandering, and losing his father's love.

When Zheng Yiguan was 17 years old, due to the family's difficult livelihood, he accompanied his younger brothers Zhihu and Zhibao to Xiangshanao (Macau), Guangdong, one of the locations of the Sino-foreign trade center at that time, to attach himself to his uncle Huang Cheng.

Huang Cheng was a maritime merchant who engaged in overseas trade in Macau. He left Zheng Yiguan by his side as a helper to assist in business.

Zheng Yiguan used his wisdom and talents in business competition and competition for interests, learned to do business, traveled to Manila, and learned Lusita and Portuguese.

In 1621 (the first year of the Apocalypse), when Zheng Zhilong was 18 years old, he and his brother Qi went to Macau to study business with his uncle Huang Cheng.

In the third year of the Apocalypse (1623), Huang Cheng sent him to attach the ship of Li Dan (from Quanzhou), an overseas Chinese in Hirado, Japan, and escorted a batch of sugar, Qinan, musk, deerskin and other goods, and released them from Xiangshanao to Japan, and lived in Nagasaki. People are unfamiliar, and they began to "sell shoes" as their business, or "sew for people to make ends meet". Later, he turned to business and sold sugar, Qi Nan, musk and other things for his uncle Huang Cheng.

Zheng Yiguan was engaged in commercial activities and foreign trade, and later sent himself to Li Dan's disciples, helping Li Dan to do business, becoming a subordinate of Li Dan, the most powerful maritime merchant at that time, and "doing things with his father".

Li Dan has a strong capital, has a fleet, specializes in overseas trade, and is the leader of the local overseas Chinese. Li Dan felt that he was capable and reliable, and "raised him as a righteous son", and handed over some assets and ships to let him do business in Vietnam and make great profits.

Soon after, Zheng Yiguan became a giant, often going back and forth between China and Japan, living in Japan and overseas Chinese.

Zheng Yiguan was also enthusiastic about learning swordsmanship, and met the "Quanzhou smelter surnamed Weng", who started "forging swords for the lord of the city". ”

Zheng Yiguan, as the leader of overseas Chinese, paid homage to the retired former shogun Tokugawa Hidetada to offer medicine to Sunfu (now Shizuoka Prefecture).

Zheng Yiguan was summoned by the shogunate, and the Japanese regarded him as a glorious and prominent figure, and he was often a local nobleman and often traveled from friends, and was called "the old official".

At that time, the Hirado Domain was the center of Japan's foreign trade, and merchant ships from all over the world gathered.

Because Zheng Yiguan was familiar with overseas affairs and good at diplomacy, he was valued by the Japanese government, and after his initial summons, he "repeatedly visited the family of the feudal lords". Later, he moved to Hizen Province and was favored by the local princes of the Matsuura clan, who built a new residence for him on a house in Kawachiura Senrihama (now Chirihama, Matsuura-gun, Nagasaki Prefecture) near Hirado, and introduced Tagawa Matsu, the daughter of Emperor Tagawa Yu, a minister of the Hirado clan, to marry.

Emperor Tagawa Yu, also known as Emperor Weng Yu, was an expatriate from China who moved to Pinghu (one said to be a maritime merchant from Quanzhou in Japan), and in Japan it was the Tagawa clan. Tagawa Matsu is a Japanese, the adopted daughter of Emperor Weng Yu, so it is also called Weng's. Tagawa, seventeen years old, has a good sex. The next year of the marriage, in the fourth year of the Apocalypse (1624), when the age was on the 14th day of the seventh month of the ancient calendar of Jiazi, the Tagawa clan traveled to Qianlihama, picked up Wenbei, and the Russian general gave birth, but did not return home, but was born according to the boulder in the Bin, which was the eldest son Zheng Sen (young name Fusong).

Wei Bao chatted with Zheng Zhilong and found out that Zheng Chenggong had been born at this time, isn't Zheng Sen Zheng Chenggong? Zheng Chenggong is still staying in Dongying at this time!

Zheng Yiguan followed the disciple of Li Dan, an overseas Chinese pirate merchant on Hirado Island, Japan, and worked as a translator at the beginning, and gradually became Li Dan's right-hand man, winning Li Dan's trust.

At the beginning of 1624, Zheng Zhilong went to Penghu to serve as an interpreter and correspondent for the Dutch on the recommendation of Li Dan, and in the early autumn of the same year, the Dutch retreated to southern Taiwan; Due to the dispute between the Ming Dynasty and the Netherlands, it affected Li Dan's commercial interests between China, Japan and Taiwan at that time, so Li Dan's sending Zheng Zhilong was also one of Li Dan's means of intervening in the Ming Dynasty and the Netherlands.

In the first half of the 17th century, the Dutch were already the "superpowers" of the Western maritime economic world, and at the end of January of the fourth year of the Apocalypse (1624), Zheng Yiguan left the Tagawa clan and his unborn son, and was sent to Penghu by Li Dan to serve as a general secretary (translator) of the Dutch.

The Dutch gave this "from Japan" a favorable treatment, but the Dutch were engaged in a military confrontation with the Ming army at this time, and the two sides had no contact, and it was impossible for Chinese merchants to trade with the Dutch, so Zheng Yiguan did not use Zheng Yiguan, and the commander of the Dutch fleet occupying Penghu sent a letter to Governor de Carpenter of the East India Company on February 20, 1624, saying: "The long-awaited sailing ship 'Good Hope' sailed from Japan on January 21 and arrived here at the end of the month. …… We have accepted a general from Japan, and although he has been given good treatment, it is of little use to us at the moment. ”

However, in order to monopolize trade with Japan, the Dutch instructed some Chinese ships to plunder off the coast of China, and Zheng Yiguan was also one of the pirates who cooperated with the Dutch, carrying out a pirate mission for the Dutch to intercept Chinese sailing ships heading to Manila in the Taiwan Strait.

De Wet, who later served as the second Dutch governor of Taiwan, who was serving in Penghu at this time, wrote in a letter: "With the approval of Commander Reyots, we expect every day to be able to concentrate twenty or thirty Chinese sailing ships here, and the first officer of the general is sent north to intercept some of the captured ships. ”

Later, the Dutch used Zheng Yiguan to carry out pirate missions in the Taiwan Strait to intercept Chinese sailing ships bound for Manila to trade with the Spaniards, the main rivals of the Dutch at the time.

Their military and commercial complex, the East India Company, intercepted Portuguese and Spanish merchant ships everywhere, captured Iberian overseas strongholds and merchants, established a merchant house in Hirado, Japan, and a base camp in Batavia (later Jakarta).

According to the letter of the Dutch governor Waite, it is recorded that the "general officer" was sent to lead about 20 to 30 Chinese sailing ships to carry out the business of "intercepting and capturing".

Not long ago, Zheng Yiguan attached himself to Yan Siqi, the "Japanese snail" (the leader of the Japanese Bandits).

Yan Siqi is bold by nature, righteous and squandering money, burly, and proficient in martial arts. In the fortieth year of Wanli (1612), Yan Siqi was bullied by the official family, killed his servants in anger, fled to Japan, worked as a tailor, and concurrently engaged in Sino-Japanese maritime trade, and became rich after a few years. During this period, Yan Siqi formed a deep friendship with Yang Tiansheng, a Jinjiang ship owner who often went to Nagasaki to trade, and got acquainted with a group of Hokkien people who lived in Japan and engaged in overseas adventures. Because of his popularity and fame, the Japanese authorities in Hirado appointed him as the leader of the snails.

In the fourth year of the Apocalypse (1624), Yan Siqi and others were dissatisfied with the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan, plotted a rebellion, and participated in the resistance struggle of the Japanese people.

Yan Siqi and Yang Tiansheng, Chen Xinji, Zheng Zhilong and other 28 people worshiped the alliance as brothers, and everyone recommended Yan Siqi as the leader of the alliance.

Unfortunately, the shogunate sent troops to search for it, and Yan Siqi led the crowd to flee in thirteen ships.

Wei Bao and Zheng Zhilong probably talked about two incense sticks, which attracted Yan Siqi's attention, Yan Siqi was afraid that Wei Bao would leave Zheng Yiguan, in Yan Siqi's opinion, among this group of people, the most useful is Zheng Yiguan!

Wei Bao also thinks so, as a crossing giant, he naturally knows how much Zheng Zhilong will do in the future, just looking at Zheng Yiguan, who is proficient in the languages of several countries, not only Li Dan's righteous son, but also has a deep friendship with the Dutch, just by looking at this connection, you can clearly see that Zheng Zhilong's future development will be very smooth!

Wei Bao wants to keep Zheng Zhilong, even if this kind of person can't be used for himself, killing it as soon as possible can also avoid a big hidden danger for himself in the future, since he has already thought about wanting silver from the sea, he will definitely develop his own sea power in the future, and now he already knows very well that Zheng Zhilong will make great achievements in the future and become the head of the super sea military group, so how can he let it go when he is still so weak at this time?

However, Wei Bao did not immediately make a decision, proficient in the languages of several countries, this is actually not a particularly anti-heaven skill, through the understanding just now, among the 500 pirates he got from Yan Siqi, many of them are proficient in languages, Korean local dialect, Japanese local dialect, and even Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, there are people who are proficient, but there are few people like Zheng Zhilong, a person can speak several languages.

Moreover, Wei Bao also thought of Yan Siqi's development, since these people have already left a message of allegiance to him, if he forcibly weakens the strength of these people, then he will forcibly change history!

After forcibly changing history, the situation on the southeast coast will definitely change dramatically, if there is no strong rise of Yan Siqi's forces on Taiwan Island, there will also be other forces rising at that time, and there will definitely be no vacuum in the sea forces!

The rise of a group of people who are held by themselves is definitely better than the rise of people who do not know the details. When these people rise, they will definitely be able to get a lot of benefits.

The most important thing is that Zheng Zhilong is not a good technical hand, and what Wei Bao needs most now is a skilled worker, a person who can lead the team to ride the wind and waves on the sea.

After a few minutes of fierce fighting, Wei Bao let Zheng Zhilong go, and did not let Zheng Zhilong stay by name.

"Zheng Yiguan, I admire you very much! I can see that you will be able to make great achievements in the future, and if the opportunity is good, within two or three years, you will be able to move a lot of Han people to the Ryukyus to develop and develop an armed force with tens of thousands of people. I hope that when that time comes, you will not forget me as a benefactor! Wei Bao said bluntly to Zheng Yiguan.

Zheng Yiguan and the other pirates were a little strange, I don't know why Wei Gongzi said that? At this time, Yan Siqi had already written a message of allegiance, and when he heard Wei Bao say this, he was also very curious.

The strangest thing about everyone is that since you are so optimistic about Zheng Yiguan, why don't you leave this person behind?

Zheng Yiguan also thought so: "No one has ever been so optimistic about me, Wei Gongzi's words, I'm afraid it's a scene, right?" ”

Wei Bao smiled and said: "It's definitely not a scene, you must be very strange, since I am so optimistic about you, why don't I keep you by my side?" Because I don't want Yan Siqi to develop outside without moving! I hope you all have a bright future! And I will definitely not be able to go to the southern sea of Daming to develop in the past two years, so I won't keep you by my side. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this! Including Wei Bao's own subordinates, there was no way to think of it, why did Wei Gongzi have such thoughts?

Among so many people, the most unexpected is Yan Siqi! Originally, Wei Bao left so many of his men at once, and he was very resentful in his heart, just because the situation was not as good as Wei Bao, there was no way to resist at this time, otherwise, he would have already killed Wei Bao. But he didn't expect Wei Bao to want him to go to the south to develop?

And Wei Gongzi is already so optimistic about Zheng Yiguan, and he deliberately keeps it for himself, just because he is afraid that he will not be able to develop?

Wei Bao took the allegiance from the stunned Yan Siqi, looked at it, was quite satisfied, put it in his sleeve pocket with a smile, and said with a smile: "Yan Siqi, I'm not talking about the scene, in addition to giving you a big ship and 100 stone of grain, you will take all your silver, and I will give you another 5,000 taels of silver!" With the silver, when you get to the south of the Ming Dynasty, it is not a problem to raise food, and your food is enough to eat on the road, so you don't need to bring so much food. ”

Give me back 5,000 taels of silver?

Yan Siqi was completely shocked, if Wei Bao left Zheng Yiguan to himself, he still felt that Wei Bao was making a scene for nothing and being a good person for free, but now it is different, 5000 taels of silver is not a small amount! It was enough to regroup, and their 13 big ships, 28 owners combined, carried less than 10,000 taels of silver.

The cost of a big ship with a hundred taels of silver is calculated, Wei Bao gave himself 50 boats at once, and people don't need to pay this silver at all, he is sure to win.

It seems that Wei Gongzi sincerely hopes that he can develop in the south.

Yan Siqi smiled bitterly: "What Wei Gongzi said like this, I didn't want to leave, so I just did things for Wei Gongzi here." ”

Wei Bao smiled evilly and winked at Yan Siqi: "Is it true?" ”

Wei Bao is really afraid that he will move Yan Siqi, this guy won't really stay, right? If a big guy like Yan Siqi stays, the transformation of these pirates will be even more difficult, there is no other day, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, with Yan Siqi here, is his navy surnamed Wei or surnamed Yan?

And if Yan Siqi wants to stay, the other more than 100 people will definitely stay, these are hardcore local people from southern Fujian, all from Xiamen, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, it is easy to form a small group, whether intentionally or unintentionally, people in a place get together, the quantity and quality are enough, this will definitely become an indisputable situation.

Once this kind of system is formed, then its own navy will repeat the mistakes of history in the future, no matter how long it takes, it will not be able to get rid of the southern Fujian system, which is not a good phenomenon.

"Master Wei, it's true! We don't have much to offer, we just want to be unrestrained and not bullied! Although it is the first time we have met, I can trust Wei Gongzi's character! Yan Siqi said sincerely.

Wei Bao sweated, and three black lines swept through his head, this was not in his plan! Big brother, don't be moved so easily, okay?

Wei Bao patted Yan Siqi's sturdy shoulder: "Go to the south to develop!" Go to the Ryukyus, it's a good choice! Remember to keep in touch and I'll support you financially! Everyone is together, it will limit the speed of development, since you are already my people, I hope you can soar outside! ”

Wei Bao's encouraging words of 'flying yellow and soaring' aroused the ambition in Yan Siqi's heart, and he nodded: "Since Gongzi said so, I will take my brothers out to break through!" Today, Gongzi not only did not kill us, but also sent silver to support, Wei Gongzi is the eternal benefactor of my Yan Siqi and my brothers! ”

Wei Bao was very happy when he heard Yan Siqi say this, he didn't expect things to change so quickly? These people are really straightforward men, and they don't seem to go through their brains much when they encounter problems?

As soon as Wei Bao was excited, he immediately couldn't help but increase the size! "It's still a bit small to send 5,000 taels of silver, make up an integer, 10,000 taels of silver! I don't have much money right now, so I can only come up with so much. ”

Burst!

The pirate leaders looked at each other, secretly thinking that this Wei Gongzi was too generous, right? Even if these pirates are all people who have 'seen the world', 10,000 taels of silver, whether in the Ming Dynasty or outside the Ming Dynasty, is a great fortune.

Fan Xiaolin and Wang Qiuya, who were beside Wei Bao, couldn't help but glance at each other, Wang Qiuya was a little better, Fan Xiaolin was the one in charge of the silver, this time, she almost didn't feel distressed.

You are really generous enough, 10,000 taels of silver, and you will give it away when you say it's going to be sent?

Fan Xiaolin couldn't wait to go up and pry Wei Bao's mouth open at this moment and take back what Wei Bao had just said.

Wei Bao is not blind and generous, no matter when, no matter what stage it is, his team needs silver, and he will not be too much money!

Now Wei Bao only has 16,700 taels of cash in his hand, which is not abundant, and the silver of the sales joint-stock company under the Tiandi firm cannot be moved, and he can't move it if he wants to, so he has to go through the board of directors.

Originally, Wei Bao could get these grains and grasses for free this trip, and Wei Bao made a bargain, but the amount of this batch of grains and grasses was far from enough! It can only feed tens of thousands of people for a month or two, and it is still not enough to completely survive the famine.

But Wei Bao is already very satisfied with the pirate team that can get this 500-person lineup, and feels that it is not too much silver to give, not to mention, there are so many big ships.

Moreover, he values the influence he has on other pirate leaders and the impression he has left on them!

Silver can be earned again! Once an impression is formed, it is difficult to reverse.

A stingy person, no matter where he is, no matter what era he is, is not a climate.

Wei Bao understands this very well, and sometimes reviews what he has done in modern times, and the only thing that makes him dissatisfied is that he is often not generous enough and not strong enough.

"Wei Gongzi! We really don't need so much, we still have some silver on hand, as long as we can reach the Ryukyus smoothly and can migrate two or three thousand Han people over, we can gain a firm foothold in the Ryukyus, as long as we gain a firm foothold in the Ryukyus, we still have to rely on our own development in the future, and no matter how much silver Gongzi gives, it can only be used for a while. Besides, Childe's money is also tight. Yan Siqi was emotionally considerate of Wei Bao. Although the two of them only met for the first time, and it was only a tight time of an hour, it was like a friend who had known each other for a long time.

Hearing Yan Siqi say this, Wei Bao was even more dissatisfied: "No! Since I am your benefactor, the decision I have made must not be changed! You go to a strange place, and it is an undeveloped and barren land, and you need more silver! If you encounter difficulties, there is no place to make up money, we are so far away from here, when the whip is out of reach, far water can not quench the thirst, I think it is not convenient to send you silver, this time I will bring it! If the development is good in the future, it will be returned to me. ”

Wei Bao's stewards and Yan Siqi's pirate leaders looked at him in surprise, I really didn't expect that the bigwigs on both sides who were almost fighting to the death just now would actually push me like relatives at this moment?

However, this scene made everyone feel heartwarming, secretly thinking that if there was a real fight just now, I was afraid that this beach would be full of corpses at this time, and it was very likely that the two sides would have five or six thousand dead and wounded.

Yan Siqi saw Wei Bao bring out the benefactor's shelf, so he had to say: "Since Wei Gongzi said so, we can only be respectful and obey our fate, but I, Yan Siqi, swear to prove it!" Within a year, at least 20,000 taels of silver will be returned to Wei Gongzi! ”

Wei Bao smiled: "I give you silver, it is equivalent to putting the silver from your left pocket into your right pocket, listening to you say this, it seems that I am doing business with you and taking out a mortgage, there is no need to rush to swear, the more you develop and grow outside, the more I am happy, and it will be used to build Ryukyu!" ”

Yan Siqi smiled and nodded, but secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must return at least 20,000 taels of silver to Wei Gongzi within the year!

Wei Bao laughed with the crowd for a while, and in the midst of laughter, he watched as a group of pirate leaders retrieved their personal belongings one by one.

Wei Bao took the personal belongings of these people as the starting point for his judgment, and Yan Siqi carefully introduced the characteristics and specialties of each person.

Wei Bao elected Zhang Hong, a native of Hui'an, Quanzhou, who can lift 500 bluestones and be called Zhang Hong.

Putian County, Xinghua Prefecture, is a Hongsheng.

Chen Xun, a native of Jinjiang, Quanzhou, is sensitive to algorithms and is the most familiar with big knives.

Lin Fu, the word Zhenzu, convenient hands and feet, Hun number deep mountain monkey.

Li Junchen, a native of Nanjing, Zhangzhou, is free and easy, very good at palladium, and good at shipbuilding.

The first four of these five people are good at naval warfare, have experienced a hundred battles, and are good candidates to lead the team to sea.

Li Junchen is a skilled player, and he is the best at building big ships among these people, which is an absolutely scarce talent in this era!

When Wei Bao chose Li Junchen, Yan Siqi was a little reluctant, and finally heroically cut his love.

"Childe, Li Junchen's shipbuilding technology, I can say that looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, it's all this!" Yan Siqi gave Wei Bao a thumbs up: "Childe is really discerning!" Just take a look at everyone's baggage and belongings, and you will know if everyone has the ability? Truly a man of God. ”

Wei Bao smiled: "I'm not a god either, I look at everyone's belongings to see if there are any books, and people who read books are at least literate and hyphenation." Secondly, depending on what books you are reading, you can roughly know your personal preferences. Among so many people, there are not many people who originally brought books, and this Li Junchen brother is the only one who has brought all kinds of shipbuilding books, which shows that he likes this. Once a person likes to explain, even if he is not necessarily good at it, he can at least be considered to be able to understand it, which is exactly the talent I need. ”

Yan Siqi nodded and said, "If the five of them can follow Gongzi's side, they will definitely be more creative than the rest of us." ”

Wei Bao said with a smile: "Individuals have their own creation, this kind of numerological thing, no one can say well, I can only promise to treat each other with sincerity." Alright, all of you, write your allegiances! From now on, you will all be members of my Heaven and Earth Firm! Although our business has not yet reached the south of the Ming Dynasty, I believe that in less than three years, we will definitely be able to develop and meet with you! ”

The pirate leaders unanimously bowed and agreed: "Yes, Childe! ”

Wei Bao looked at Xu Leijian, who was standing aside, confused, and still hadn't figured out what was going on, and said with a smile: "Manager Xu, thank you for this trip, otherwise how could I meet so many capable talents." ”

Xu Leijian smiled awkwardly, he didn't know what to say, he had made a calculation, he asked Wei Bao for 15,000 taels of silver, and he knew that the actual price of grain was about 8,000 taels of silver, he expected that among the 7,000 taels of silver, Yan Siqi would be able to give him at least 3,500 taels of silver, even if there was no 3,500 taels of silver, there should always be 3,000 taels of silver, right? Even if 3,000 taels of silver is enough, 1,500 taels of silver can't be less, right?

Therefore, Xu Leijian's original wishful thinking was that this trip would make a profit of at least 1,500 taels of silver, which is a lot of silver falling from the sky!

But now, how did it come to this? Yan Siqi is such a big group of pirates, and he actually became Wei Gongzi's subordinates? Is this business a success or not?

Moreover, Xu Leijian originally asked Yan Siqi for silver, but now he wants to ask the buyer Wei Gongzi for silver, if he lets Wei Gongzi know that his sky-high asking price is twice as high as the price on the black market, then with Wei Gongzi's power, can he still make himself please?

Wei Bao saw Xu Leijian's embarrassed face and smiled: "What's wrong?" Don't worry, I know that you originally wanted to collect profits from Yan Siqi and them, and now you can collect the same from me! How much money did you want to earn? I'll give you back how much silver! ”

Xu Leijian looked at Yan Siqi and felt even more embarrassed, in front of the buyer and the seller, what did he say at this time? If you say that you want to earn 1,500 taels of silver, or even 3,000 taels of silver, or 3,500 taels of silver, this number may not be anything to Yan Siqi, the pirate leader.

Wei Bao and Yan Siqi, as well as everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw Xu Leijian's strange expression of eating at this time, all the people present were people above the level of stewards, all of them were smart people, and they could immediately understand what Xu Leijian was embarrassed about, and they could also understand Xu Leijian's thoughts at this time.

"Steward Xu, just say it directly! I, Webo, never treat my friends badly! Wei Bao laughed.

"150 taels of silver, okay? Wei Gongzi? Xu Leijian swallowed his saliva and said a figure that he couldn't believe he would come up with, which was nine-tenths less than the profit he expected to make! However, he just pulled the strings from it, and in fact, he didn't have any capital at all, it was purely a person at both ends, he found it, and he had a personal cost in it. The benefit fee of 150 taels of silver is already at the top, and if you want to say it for many miles, the skin is as thick as Xu Leijian, which is not too embarrassing.

Wei Bao said very happily: "No problem, I'll let someone bring it to you, but you also have to write something!" ”

"Wei Gongzi? Do I have to write a pledge of allegiance as well? I'm a proprietor, and I'm not a pirate. Xu Leijian said with a bitter face.

Wei Bao smiled: "It's not a word of allegiance, you don't have to be so nervous, I didn't let you betray your owner, what I want you to write is a letter of guarantee!" Promise to keep what happened today confidential, you know, buying grain and grass from overseas is against the law of the Ming Dynasty, and if the matter gets out, it will be a little tricky! ”

"Wei Gongzi can rest assured of this! I'm also involved in this, so naturally I won't tell anyone, even the few guys under me, I didn't tell them what I've been doing lately! Xu Leijian heard Wei Bao say this, and hurriedly assured.

"If you don't believe it, you have no basis for what you say! I'm a person who still believes in written things. Wei Bao said with a cold face.

Wei Bao always has a smiling face on people, and occasionally has a slight face, and he will immediately give birth to a great prestige!

Xu Leijian was startled, seeing that all the people around him were Wei Bao's subordinates, how could he dare to say half a word? Moreover, it seems that if you don't write a letter of guarantee, not only will you not be able to get the 150 taels of silver for the bridge, but you may not be able to get out of here alive, right?

Xu Leijian had to nod hurriedly: "I'll just write, it's easy." ”

Wei Bao changed his face in an instant with a smile on his face, and patted Xu Leijian's shoulder: "With this letter of guarantee, we will be good brothers tied to a rope from now on!" If there is anything that needs to be cooperated in the future, you must not forget your brother? ”

"Definitely, definitely, hehe." Xu Leijian squeezed out a smile and said with a smile.

Yan Siqi and the others nodded secretly as they watched from the side, and they all secretly thought that Wei Gongzi was really powerful. Originally, they were still suspicious of Wei Gongzi's great power at a young age, but now they see Wei Gongzi's way of dealing with people, everything is so meticulous and meticulous, and he is even more comfortable with his wrists, and now they understand that nothing is a coincidence, this Wei Gongzi, I am afraid that he is a natural human spirit! Born to be a great character.

It's a pity that Wei Gongzi can't hear what these people are saying, otherwise he would definitely tell them: Brother is not born strong! Brother is naturally strong!
