202 Compensation & Plans (Today's Chapter)
Looking at his father with a mouthful of his rude request, full of relief and anticipation, Li Tianyang's heart was very uncomfortable.
Li Tianyang felt that he was very despicable, because he knew very well that when he made this request, in fact, Li De and they had no other choice to choose. When this request was cleverly linked by Li Tianyang with the Zhao'an incident, as a father who wants his son to become a Chan, no matter how much he pays, he is willing to give his children a better future.
Thinking about it from this point of view, no matter what Li De and Gan Xingzhi look like outside, their love and expectations for their children are always the same as ordinary parents.
It's just that Li Tianyang didn't expect that Li De would answer so crisply, and he didn't even spend a little more time thinking about it. From this, what Li Tianyang experienced was full of fatherly love, although he never expressed it, he has always proved it with actions.
"Don't rejoice too early, I'm conditional." Li De saw Li Tianyang's eyes that were a little moist because of his efforts, and finally felt that it was not wrong to help this little rabbit cub, but for the sake of the brothers, he still needed to put forward a few requirements: "The matter of migration involves a lot of things, we can't leave immediately, and now that we have a large population, we also need to prepare a little food and grass in advance to deal with the fact that we will not be able to do business in a short time due to migration in the future." ”
"There is no problem with this, father, I can provide you with 10,000 stone of food now, and I can still provide about 10,000 stone of food before the winter solstice." Li Tianyang knew it, this requirement was actually expected by Li Tianyang, for the wild sharks that did not produce anything, all the expenses depended on looting, and they were away from the more familiar Qiongzhou waters, and it was a little difficult for them to carry out raids in the short term.
"Also, I am your father, and it is natural to support your development, but your second uncle and third uncle are different. It is not easy for them to work hard with me to build this foundation, and now because of the relationship between our father and son, and give up this foundation, their loss is not small, no matter what, you have to make up for their losses! Looking at Gan Xingzhi, who was still a little resentful around him, Li De knew that his insistence on doing his own thing this time would hurt his brothers a lot, but at this time, he opened his mouth to ask for a little compensation for them.
"Big brother, what do you think of your brothers!!" Gan Xingzhi heard Li De's words at this time, and his heart was not a taste, everyone was born and died together for many years, but in exchange for this treatment, he couldn't say the chill in his heart, but he couldn't show it: "Since you have already decided, big brother, what else can you say as a brother?" What's more, my family's Dabiao is also in the same group as Tianyang, and you are willing to give up this inheritance, so what do I have to give up. ”
In the final analysis, what he cares about is not the ownership of this foundation, but hopes that Li De can discuss it with their brothers in private, instead of acting arbitrarily and ignoring their feelings.
"Third uncle, this is the way it should be, where can you close people suffer!" Li Tianyang watched coldly, and naturally saw the resentment and indignation in Gan Xingzhi's eyes, although he was cheating his father, but in his heart, Li Tianyang never thought that their brothers would turn their faces because of this.
Therefore, I can't help but say that Li Tianyang handed over a list with both hands and respectfully handed it over to Gan Xingzhi, the reason why Gan Dabiao was not present today was also because he was afraid that Gan Xingzhi and them would be in such a dilemma because of their son's presence, just like Li De and Li Tianyang.
Seeing that Gan Xingzhi didn't answer, Li De turned his hand and took the list given by Li Tianyang, and rolled his eyes: "Yo, I really talked a lot about your old son this time, but I didn't expect my son to be a rich man!" Five thousand taels of gold, this amount is not a small amount, I'm afraid that all the net worth you have saved in the past few years has been taken out! ”
"Father guessed wrong this time, you haven't seen the account book I just handed over to you along with the distribution map of the Qiongzhou army! This silver is only a part of the profits we made from this voyage to the Wa country, and now we have only this gold in our hands! Li Tianyang said with a smile.
"Oh? Then I'm going to take a look, you can take this thing back and divide it with the second child! After that, he shoehorned the list into Gan Xingzhi's hand, and turned his head to pick up the account book that had been neglected by them for a long time: "Tut-tut! I said, why are these maritime merchants one by one, knowing the danger of begging for a life on the sea, but still can't stop running to the sea, looking at your income this time, even I am a little tempted, want to change careers and start trading! ”
"This is the second thing that the child wants to say to his father and third uncle." Li Tianyang was right, although Li De agreed to Li Tianyang's unreasonable request, it was for the sake of the relationship between father and son, as well as the future of Li Tianyang's mouth.
However, Li Tianyang naturally felt deeply uncomfortable about sending Li De and his people to the Luzon Islands, but fortunately, Luzon is now in the hands of the Spaniards, the political environment on the island is not safe, and the control of the surrounding islands is also extremely loose.
Moreover, the occurrence of the Dacang Mountain tragedy more than ten years ago, although Luzon is far above the South Seas, but Qiongzhou is the closest Ming territory to Luzon after all, and many overseas Chinese who fled back to Qiongzhou fled to Qiongzhou, and even under Li De's command, several brothers fled back from there.
When he was a child, Li Tianyang liked to get close to these sailors when he had nothing to do, listen to them tell all kinds of news from the north and south, and learn their skills in holding the boat and holding the sails, so he also learned everything that the Spaniards on the island did in those years from the sad stories of these overseas Chinese in Luzon.
Although what these overseas Chinese said was not true, and perhaps there were more exaggerations in their words, thinking of the bloody deeds such as the African slave trade learned in later history textbooks, Li Tianyang was convinced of the crimes that these foreigners could commit.
Therefore, if he placed his father Li De and them in Luzon and let them harm these Luzon foreigners and their minions, Li Tianyang would not have any mercy at all.
After considering several aspects, Li Tianyang felt that this proposal was really a stroke of genius, so he spared no effort to implement it. Just for the sake of his fathers, Li Tianyang naturally thought of a few ways for them to gain a foothold more quickly.
"The pirates have become so big that it is impossible to feed their brothers and their families by plundering alone, and you must have been deeply disturbed by your father now! However, it is not a bad thing to have such an annoyance, at least it shows that Father, your team is already very strong, and no matter where you go, you are a powerful force that cannot be ignored. ”
Li Tianyang's words really talked about Li De's sore feet, the reason why they came to deal with the dispute this time, but they also came to Bengang to learn how Li Tianyang supported such a large group of subordinates, which is also the reason why they found an excuse to follow Li Tianyang and run all over Li Tianyang's strongholds.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Chong, a military advisor by their side, had been telling them to restrain them and prevent them from getting involved in the coastal villages, maybe they would have been like other predecessors, after their strength had swelled to this point, they would have led their troops ashore to attack ordinary small villages and scavenge for food to feed their subordinates.
But even so, they can no longer be like before, the sons and daughters under their opponents are like arms, and the pirates at the bottom below make frequent small moves, in order not to find an extra way out of their fierce internal struggle.
"In this day and age, the most lucrative trade must be the ocean-going trade, and my father, you have a large number of sailors who are familiar with the water, and a large number of plundered sea-going ships, why don't you make use of them to carry out the ocean-going trade?"
"Don't talk to the children about the risks of ocean trade, the risks of ocean trade are nothing compared to the risks of plundering the seas and pinning your head to the waistband of your pants."
"So, the second thing I want to say is that I hope that after you have established yourself in the South Seas, you will be able to carry out ocean trade. In this way, a portion of your large men can be assigned to protect the fleet as sailors and warriors for the fleet. At the same time, the profits earned by the ocean-going fleet can also be fed back to your helpers, reducing the pressure on you to provide for them. ”
"You must know that just when we went down to the Japanese country, we just trafficked in some ordinary people's livelihood, and the profits we obtained were 70,000 or 80,000 taels of silver, excluding the cost of expenses."
"Stinky boy, you speak lightly, but the so-called interlacing is like a mountain, you Laozi, we have never done any serious business, where do you know the twists and turns, maybe you will be cheated by others and help others count the money!" Li De had a lot of scruples about this, and he felt quite unimpressed.
On the contrary, Gan Xingzhi, who was sitting beside them, was haunted by his heart, and was alone in that vomit, but at this time he was attracted by Li Tianyang's description, and gradually turned his head and listened carefully to Li Tianyang's words. At the same time, he also took the account book from Li De's hand and slowly flipped through the contents recorded on it.
Compared with the generous Li De and the bold Wu Juren, among the three Crazy Shark brothers, Gan Xingzhi's interest in wealth and land is not the interest of an ordinary person. It was when he lived in seclusion in Tanmen, the number of land in Gan Xingzhi's family, together with Wu Yongkang's family, the patriarch of the Wu clan, and the two major landlords in Tanmen, together occupied more than half of the land in Tanmen.
And what Li Tianyang said next was deeply liked by Gan Xingzhi, and even faintly gave birth to the idea that even if he let go of the Qiongzhou sea area, it would be a good thing to move to the South Seas.
"Moreover, on the Luzon Islands, most of them are natives, and the land on their island is really not worth much money, plus the control of the government over there is low, father, third uncle, you can imitate the life in Tanmen over the years, on the surface is good, and it is much more convenient to do your own business behind the scenes."
"Spend some silver money, buy a large amount of cheap land, and cultivate and plant various food crops and fruit tree cash crops, which can also kill two birds with one stone: first, it can give the families of the Shark Gang a place to stay, and second, they can also produce their own food, and they don't have to rely on the sky to eat all day long!"
As he spoke, Li Tianyang handed over a document again, which was sprinkled with tens of thousands of words, all of which were Li Tianyang's plan for his father's team to move to the Luzon Islands.
Don't look at Li Tianyang's eloquent talk at this time, I think he is perfunctory to his father, before coming to Dayuan, Li Tianyang has already made two sets of plans in Tanmen's life for more than ten years: one is naturally to open up the nearby Dayuan Island that is not inhabited and developed by the Ming people; The other is to go south to the South Seas and develop their power in the more chaotic but equally impressive Luzon Islands.
It's just that as Li Tianyang settled down in Bengang and developed Shunsui, it was natural that they gave up this second set of backup plans. At least, in the short and medium term, with the strength and ability of their Hongtang and Qixintang, it is impossible to achieve two-line development, and one Dayuan Island has already made Li Tianyang and them quite indigestion, let alone a Luzon Islands thousands of miles away.
However, at this time, he re-compiled the previous plan according to the experience gained in the past few years of opening up the deserted port, and handed it over to Li De and them, which naturally came out of guilt for Li De and them, but he also hoped that his father could do something new, instead of putting all his eyes on these Daming maritime merchants.
For many years, Li De and them have been attached to these maritime merchants like vampires, although out of blood relationship, Li Tianyang can't stop their behavior, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to change them.
"Behind this plan, there are some formulas that we have researched in Bengang, including special formulas for common diseases such as colds and fevers, as well as special drugs for infectious diseases such as pendulum and schistosomiasis, as well as the planting methods of several alien species and the production methods of several finished products."
is so careful to an extreme plan, I have to say that Li Tianyang's way of making up for it is sincere enough, and it also makes Li De, who is competing with his son behind his back and is finally ready to give up, once again rekindles his ambition, and wants to use this to create a new foundation in a foreign country and let his son know his son's ability.
Even Gan Xingzhi, who had a lot of dissatisfaction and grievances in his heart, turned cloudy and a little happy under Li Tianyang's following suggestions. Although I don't know how much this plan can gain, but thinking about the life that may not be worse than today's life in the future, and comparing with the current prosperity of Bengang, Gan Xingzhi couldn't help but think: Could it be that we are such a big person, can't we compare to these hairy boys?
"Very good, I'll take these things back and discuss them with Mr. and them first, as for when we will all go south, it depends on when we find a new foothold in the South Seas!" Li De has now rekindled his fighting spirit, and his mind is naturally even more extraordinary, and his majestic momentum jumps out, which makes Li Tianyang faintly unfavorable.
"That's natural, the child is not in a hurry, anyway, the old general Shen Yourong also told me, let me wait a while and let him operate." Li Tianyang still replied respectfully, and at the same time, the hanging stone in his heart finally fell to the bottom, and the excitement in his heart was not revealed in front of Li De and them under the city he had cultivated for many years.
Finally finished writing the conversation with Li De, don't look at these chapters have always been the same content, but when I think of making everyone not feel the abruptness of Li De's transfer of territory, the energy spent by the younger brother is really no easier than when writing other content.
The father may always compromise on his son's requirements in the end, but it is only a matter of time. But here, Li De is not only a father, but also the leader of a gang, and he should have taken care of the feelings of the brothers around him.
It's just that the little brother opened a small golden finger here, so in this chapter, you have to pay for this golden finger, in order to compensate for the loss of the mad shark people, Li Tianyang and them naturally need to pay a huge price.
