31 Gains and losses

Li De got his wish and obtained the results of various new commodities developed by the Hongmen R&D Institute, and proudly took Li Tiansheng back to Jilong Town, reunited with his old mother for a few days, and then left Dayuan.

And Li Tianyang did not have the slightest taste of reluctance, although when he faced Li De's request, the expression on his face was more distressed and embarrassed, but in fact, he knew in his heart that what his father asked him for was only the research and development accumulated by Hongmen many years ago, even if it was handed over to his father, he did not feel any loss.

This can be regarded as the return of Li De who took the initiative to retreat and surrendered the territory of Qiongzhou Sea Area, which he had worked hard and struggled for many years, to Hongmen!

Even Li Tianyang had a little joy in his heart, his father had been in Luzon for too long, he was really a little deaf and lonely, and he didn't know that his son's team was now able to make "Yang Fan-style" warships and all kinds of powerful artillery by himself.

The "Yang Fan" warship is now the signature warship of Hongmen, and in the entire Far East Seas, except for a few Westerners who have this unique structure of warships, only Hongtang under Hongmen is equipped with these sturdy Westerners.

Including the officials of the Ming Dynasty, the vast majority of Orientals thought that these sea ships in Hongmen were purchased from Westerners through what channels, but they never thought that Hongmen could produce such warships.

Only those people in those Western countries understand that Hongmen has broken through their Europeans' blockade of the advanced maritime technology and shipbuilding technology of the West, and has copied it by itself.

Of course, on the bright side, because Hongmen assembled warships in batches into the Hongtang fleet, other Eastern opponents waved real money to find Westerners, wanting to purchase Western warships.

Westerners are very shrewd, and they still insist on the answer they have given to the various powers in the East over the years: their Western ships will not be sold to other countries.

At the same time, they also denied the fact that their country had sold warships to Hongmen, but they no longer had the same categorical and resolute attitude in their tone as before, so that the envoys of all forces who came to build a line could feel their changes.

Westerners think about things most of the time from a commercial point of view, and when Hongmen was able to build their own warships equivalent to Western second-class battleships, they understood that things had changed.

Whether they wanted to or not, when Hongmen began to build imitation Western-style warships in batches and built up a fleet of sailors, it meant that the secrets they wanted to preserve in every possible way were known to the Orientals.

Sooner or later, one day, the "Yang Fan-type" warships built by Hongmen will be exiled to the eastern countries, and from then on, the technology of imitating Western-style warships will flow out.

It's better to take advantage of the fact that the technology is still confidential, and when everyone refuses, they can also see how high the value of these teams can be, and if they can really meet their own psychological expectations, then they are also not unsellable.

Among them, especially the Dutch Hongmaoyi, which is about to lose the trade channel of the Japanese state, is the most.

Therefore, in the information obtained by Li De, the "Yang Fan-type" warships included in the Hongmen were not only very different in number from the actual number of Hongmen, but also thought that they were purchased by Li Tianyang and other Westerners who had good relations.

As for artillery and muskets, those are things that no one even knows about in the outside world, let alone Li De, his father who is thousands of miles away.

It's not that Li Tianyang has the intention to hide from his father, and the family affection that blood is thicker than water maintains the physical relationship between each other, Li Tianyang believes that Li De, the father, will never have the intention of murdering his son, but Li Tianyang knows that these developed things are owned by their entire Hongmen group, and he Li Tianyang has no right to harm the public and private interests.

When Li Tianyang took out the formulas of commercial products such as perfume and soap, he was really reluctant in his heart, but even if these things were spread, the Shark Gang to which his father Li De belonged was far away in Luzon after all, and its targets were naturally merchants and Westerners in Nanyang, and their Hongmen was more oriented to the vast Ming Dynasty.

The internal digestion of commodities is enough for them to work in Hongmen Qixintang for a few years, decades, and then there will be markets such as Waguo and North Korea, and it is really necessary to wait for the mad shark and Hongmen to become commercial rivals, it will be almost a hundred years later, and it will be a question of whether there is a mad shark and Hongmen at that time.

The life of the father and son for four or five days made Li De think that he understood the development of Hongmen, and at the same time, Li Tianyang also had a general understanding of the situation of the wild shark in Luzon.

As for Li De, they turned their focus to farms and became landlords, which was what Li Tianyang wanted to see when he sent Li De and his envoys to the Luzon Islands.

Even if some people now put the label of pirates on their Hongmen, in fact, Li Tianyang has never had any love for the pirate industry, and even when he first set foot in this industry, he just wanted to change this chaotic Ming Sea Frontier.

Li De is Li Tianyang's father, and they also have many relatives living in the Shark Gang, if Li De has been doing things like killing people and overselling goods, Li Tianyang has no way to take him.

In this era, the ethics of the Three Principles and Five Constants are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even within Hongmen, the companions who have been influenced by Li Tianyang for more than ten years still have great scruples about these things.

Therefore, at that time, Li Tianyang's suggestions to Li De and the others, the plans he formulated for them, etc., were all aimed at agricultural reclamation, hoping to change their father's behavior.

And Li Tianyang also has selfish intentions, but in this life, Li De, a cheap father, has never treated his son badly, people's hearts have always been fleshy, and Li Tianyang is no exception, although he is precocious, he has long regarded Li De as his own relative, and hopes that he can live a better and happier life.

With Li De's character, if he wants to retire early to be a rich man and be taken care of by Li Tianyang, it is impossible to look at it, not to mention that Li De himself is still quite strong, just Li Tianyang's son is too good, making his father seem a little incompetent This contrast is not something that Li De, who is strong by nature, is willing to accept.

Therefore, on the contrary, let Li De go out by himself to continue to work hard for his career, so that he can get the confidence that he can raise his chest in front of Li Tianyang and fulfill his majesty as a father with confidence, which is what Li De is willing to see.
