Zhen Qian scolded with a smile: "Aren't you trying to swallow an elephant?" I'm afraid you want me to transfer Zhen Jiu's strength over there! ”

Zhen Shi scratched his head and said with a smile: "Master, the trade in the south is more than ten times richer than that in the north, as long as we can occupy the Shengsi Islands and establish our own trade transit station on the island, the profit in a year can be increased by at least five times, maybe we can also control the trade route with the Wa Kingdom on the sea, then the master will be the overlord of this sea, but the most important thing is that we can have our own docks and shipyards, and the expansion speed can also be increased again!" ”

"You have a big heart, so you are not afraid of choking!"

Zhen Shi and Zhen Jiu are both based on the sea, but one south and one north are independent of each other, whoever has more resources will develop faster, and it is not surprising that they have a strong heart.

Zhen Qian weighed the pros and cons, and finally shook his head and denied: "Although your plan is good, it's not time yet, and this matter will be talked about in a year!" ”

Although Zhen Shi was unwilling, he didn't dare to refute the things that Zhen Qian decided, and nodded in agreement.

"Master, what about the second thing?"

Looking at Zhen Shi's somewhat depressed expression, Zhen Qian showed a faint smile, "I understand your kindness, as you just said, the southern route is our economic lifeline, but the northern route has a different meaning, both are indispensable, you will naturally understand in the future!" ”

"You want to go to the Japanese country with the maritime merchants this time, this idea is very good, but don't forget that these maritime merchants are very xenophobic, and they are very united internally, if you don't have super strength, they won't allow you to get a piece of the pie at all, do you want to use that force?"

The light in Zhen Shi's eyes dimmed, Zhen Qian said yes, those old undead maritime merchants who operated the route of the Japanese Kingdom would not allow others to get involved in this tempting cake at all, and the combined strength of these maritime merchants was too terrifying, even if they added Zhen Jiu's strength, it was impossible to compete.

Zhen Qian smiled, patted Zhen Shi's shoulder, which was higher than the top of his head, and said in a low voice, "Sit!" In the past six months, you have developed well, but our heritage is still too thin, compared with those maritime merchants who have worked hard at sea for decades, there is no capital for head-to-head competition, and it will be improved after another year......."

"Don't be discouraged, know that our goal is the whole sea, we still seem to be weak now, but one day we will grow into a dragon that shakes the sea, and this day will not be too far away!"

Zhen Shi nodded heavily, he had never doubted Zhen Qian's words, and it was not an exaggeration to even say that he was a god.

"But when the master goes to the country alone, I will always worry about it, in case it ......."

"Are you worried that something will happen to me?"

Zhen Qian said with a smile: "There will be no accident when I go to the country this time, you and Zhen Jiu are my strongest backing, I will not take risks, there are still many things waiting for me to do, but your appearance today reminds me of one thing, if this matter can be done well, it will have twice the effect on our development in the south!" ”

"The host is talking about the Ryukyu Islands!"

"Yes!" A relieved smile appeared on Zhen Qian's face, "You guessed right, I have already asked Zhen Jiu to go to the Wufeng Islands, which is close to the Kyushu Island of the Wa Kingdom, and the northern line of the maritime merchants happens to pass through there. And the middle and southern lines of the maritime merchants have to pass through the Ryukyu Islands, I am ready to let you secretly follow this maritime merchants to the Ryukyu Islands, looking for an opportunity to occupy an island, so that we can completely control the trade of the Japanese in the future, which also coincides with your plan, but the most important thing is that we control the entire Ryukyu island chain, and we can use these islands to go south, which has far-reaching significance for our maritime development, if the plan can be successfully implemented, within two or three years, the entire open sea of the Tang Dynasty will be under our control, And the final immigration plan will be smoother."

A flush of excitement flashed on Zhen Shi's face, his excited hands trembled, and his body trembled slightly, straightened up and said: "I, Zhen Shi, will not frown even if I follow the master, please rest assured, if I can't take an island in the Ryukyus, I, Zhen Shi, will never come back to see the master!" ”

Zhen Qian smiled with relief: "You don't have to think about money, the key is the construction of talents and ships, the Thousand Stone Sea Ship is our starting point, one day we will build the Ten Thousand Stone Sea Ship, then we will become the real sea overlord, and you will also lead a huge fleet to the Holy City to make a pilgrimage and realize the dream in your heart!" ”

Hearing this, Zhen Shi knelt in front of Zhen Qian, his huge body trembled, his desire for the holy city was vented from the bottom of his heart, and the man who would not frown with the sword and axe became fragile at this moment, kissing Zhen Gan's instep with great reverence, and muttering in words that others could not understand.

Zhen Qian didn't bother Zhen Shi, he seemed to be accustomed to his sudden move, and after a long time, Zhen Shi stood up and smiled with a mouth of white teeth: "I believe that the master will one day become the overlord of the entire ocean, and I will become the sharpest spear in the master's hand, so that those who dare to defy the master's authority tremble at the feet of the master......."

Zhen Shi is a devout ****** believer, when Zhen Qian found him, he was being sold and bought, his ancestors lived in the Quanzhou area, because of the failure of the business, the whole family was also devastated, his lifelong dream was to return to the holy city to worship in his lifetime, for Zhen Shi, there is nothing more tempting than this.

Like Zhen Qian, Zhen Shi is also full of awe and admiration for the ocean, and conquering the ocean has become his life's goal.

"How many have your family found in the past six months?"

When Zhen Shi heard Zhen Qian's words, the frenzy in his eyes just now also dissipated, shrouded in a faint layer of sadness, "In the past six months, I have found a few elders in the clan, but most of the children are still nowhere to be found, and they must have left the Quanzhou area!" But there is a little clue, and you should be able to find it if you look for it slowly! ”

"That's good!"

Zhen Qian comforted: "As long as people are alive, there is hope, in the vast sea of people, sometimes the willows and flowers may be bright, but all this requires their own strength, otherwise even if you find it, I am afraid that there is nothing you can do."

"Hmmm! I know that", Zhen Shi nodded.

"Okay, it's already very dangerous to meet today, I'm afraid I'll have to stay in Yangzhou for half a month, if there is nothing important, don't show up again, I have a lot of tails around me. Today I met the people of the Wang family, you help me to inquire, the power of the Wang family in Yangzhou and other places, I suspect that the Wang family has begun to be suspicious of my coming to Yangzhou this time, be more careful during this time! ”

Zhen Qian finally confessed a few words, and took Wang Tianxing back to the vicinity of Yihong Courtyard again, but this time he did not go in again, but after walking around, he returned to the Drunken Immortal Tower.
