Today is a big day, and the beginning of spring has not been long in time, just in time for the last monsoon from the southwest to the northeast.

Li Tianyang's most important step in building the chicken cage port and developing its strength will take its first step today.

As the Qixintang chicken coop branch began to buy pirates and thieves on a large scale, it was only now that Gan Dabiao had raised a full ten ships for Li Tianyang through acquisition or barter, with a total value of more than 50,000 taels of silver.

Fortunately, the total value of the thieves purchased or exchanged from the pirates was only half at most, and many of them were exchanged for grain, so Li Tianyang and them were able to raise so many goods. Even so, Li Tianyang still took out the last 10,000 taels of private money he had in hand to fill in the purchase of this huge batch of goods.

Not long after the siege of Huludao was lifted, Li Tianyang used Zhang Yuyan to replace Gan Dabiao with Jilonggang, and Gan Dabiao presided over the establishment of the Jilonggang Qixintang branch and the Jilonggang Neighborhood Committee.

It's just that what Li Tianyang didn't expect was that when he came back with Gan Dabiao, there was a Jiangnan woman who was like a flower and jade and had a fresh temperament. What made Li Tianyang even more angry and helpless was that after coming back, the first thing Gan Dabiao confessed to Li Tianyang was that he embezzled more than 2,000 taels of silver from the branch of Yuegang Qixintang.

Although he had already noticed it, Li Tianyang didn't expect that Gan Dabiao would be so bold and embezzle so much silver from the business. It's just that he is very guilty, Qixintang has been established for so many years, and there are only 14 or 50 teenagers who established Qixintang at the beginning, and there are only 14 or 5 of them who are still alive.

Including Wu Jie and Gan Dabiao, most of the silver they have accumulated in their hands is still the salary and bonus they received in their respective positions, but Li Tianyang himself has not even received the salary so far, and the whole team is really a little chaotic in terms of salary.

This is also one of the reasons why Gan Dabiao is in such a high position, but he has no money to the point where he can only embezzle the expenditure of the public school.

Therefore, after Li Tianyang paid out of his own pocket to help Gan Dabiao fill this loophole, he also readjusted the plan of the entire team in terms of money and bonus land. In particular, after explaining the ins and outs of Qixintang in detail to everyone at the collective meeting of Qixintang at the end of the year, Li Tianyang officially determined the shares of the initial members, including Liu Wang, who had already died in battle, and distributed the dividends of the shares obtained that year according to the shares.

Of course, Wu Jie's shares were also diluted by Li Tianyang into a share that everyone could accept, and most of the rest were transferred to Hong Tang's name as Hong Tang's expenses for soldiers' salaries and the purchase of military supplies.

Therefore, Gan Dabiao and they can be regarded as saying goodbye to the dilemma of even raising a woman in a green house and needing to embezzle the expenses of the public middle school. It's just that on the bright side, Gan Dabiao's matter passed by like this, and even in Qixin Hall, only a few account offices and Zhang Yuyan who managed the accounts in Yuegang knew. But behind the scenes, Gan Dabiao was repaired by Li Tian for several months because of this incident.

However, because of this incident, it can be regarded as a good thing, that is, Gan Dabiao has become the second partner to start a family among the members of their original group of sailing team members after Li Tianyang.

At this time, on the wide square in front of the Mazu Temple in the middle of the chicken coop port, the gongs and drums are noisy, and the firecrackers are endless. After a tedious three-animal sacrifice to Mazu, he shouted in a thick voice: "Set sail!" ”

"!!Shh

Gray-white bamboo strips and hard sails made of coarse linen fluttered over the huge fortune boats in the excellent deep-water wharf of Jilong Harbor.

As soon as the strong southwest monsoon wind blew, the puffed sails carried ten majestic sea ships slowly to the northeast.

At the stern of the boat, He Yong and those who had performed well and made contributions to last year's Bengang Guarding City waved goodbye to Li Tianyang and his group who stood in front of the dock and came to see them off.

It wasn't until the sea ship gradually turned into black shadows and finally disappeared into the vast sea that Li Tianyang and Wu Jie reluctantly left the Jilong Port wharf and headed back.

The destination of this ocean trip is, of course, the land of Wa in the northeast, which is said to have a lot of gold and silver. Originally, for the first time in ocean trade, Li Tianyang especially hoped that he would lead the team, but thinking about a voyage, at least three or four months, at this time, Li Tianyang and they could not have such a long time to waste, so it was handed over to He Yong, who had good kung fu and had traveled from south to north, and his talents were still useful.

And as the three masters who were once cut off, after experiencing a spy and passing some high-level intelligence to Dahai for Li Tianyang, he finally got Li Tianyang's affirmation and trust, and as the leader of the ocean-going fleet, he set off with the team to the Wa Kingdom.

For this ocean-going trade, Li Tianyang and the others not only prepared materials for three or four months, but also spent a lot of effort and asked Qi San to help them recruit a large number of sailors and boatmen who traveled to and from Nanyang and Wa in Yuegang, so as to build such a fleet team.

Actually, if you really want to talk about timing, this is not the best time for the Qixintang Ocean Trade team. Not to mention anything else, among the nearly 1,000 sailors in the boss's fleet, there are at least two or three hundred people hired from the Moon Harbor who don't know the roots, and there must be spies from many pirate teams.

For Li Tianyang's team, which has many opponents, Qixintang, who is innocent on the surface, in the eyes of the well-informed team of pirates and merchants, who doesn't know that Hongtang and Qixintang are actually a gang, but everyone doesn't say it.

Although this fleet is large enough, ordinary pirates don't dare to start, and Hong Tang is now strong and domineering enough, and few people dare to commit crimes with the risk of offending Hong Tang, but they can't help that this time Li Tianyang's gambling stall is too big, more than 50,000 taels of huge goods and more than 1,000 manpower, a slight mistake, Li Tianyang will lose his family and property, and return to the pre-liberation period overnight.

However, in Li Tianyang's heart, there was a sense of anxiety that he was being spurred forward to develop, which made him have to take such a big risk and put the agenda of ocean trade into action so quickly. Among them, the pressure he is under has made him not really have a good rest for more than half a year, and even Yumo, who has been married to him for more than a year, the two of them have gathered less and left more, and the two have been separated for a long time!
