Qin Feng threw out the question, so he picked up the glass of wine in front of him and took a sip gently. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhou Li said that Ning Ergongzi is a talent, and he can be regarded as a test of the person in front of him. A person who only has a dream can't succeed, and if he doesn't have the talent and wrist to match his dream, then he can only say that he has a good eye and a low hand.

"People!" The first person to speak was not Ning Ergongzi, but He Ying on the side.

Qin Feng took another sip of wine and asked with a smile, "Why people?" ”

"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty came from Qianyue, and there was no sailor before Qianyue, and the only outlet to Baoqing Port was abandoned into a wasteland, which made Your Majesty have no suitable sailors and sailors at all." He Ying said. "And these, the Ning clan has, and the Ning clan can easily find enough sailors and sailors."

Qin Feng nodded and looked at Ning Zeyuan opposite: "Does Second Prince Ning think the same way?" ”

Ning Er Gongzi shook his head, "There may be this factor, but it is by no means the main one. ”

"Why did Ning Gongzi say that?" Qin Feng asked.

"Today, I look at the sailors on this battleship, there are only less than 400 people, but they are all fierce and abnormal, and the estimate on the other battleship is probably only this, with 800 soldiers to defeat thousands of pirates, it can be seen that these soldiers are brave." Ning Zeyuan groaned and said: "But in the past, Daming did not have a water master, and the grass people had heard of His Majesty's deeds, and they had never heard of His Majesty's water division, and these soldiers were obviously war-hardened, so brave, the grass people thought, it is more likely to be His Majesty's personal guards." Since these soldiers can be trained into qualified sailors in a very short period of time, then Your Majesty naturally does not worry about soldiers, so the grass people think that the most important thing is not people. ”

"And what do you think?"

"The grass people think that Your Majesty is for my Ning family's shipyard." Ning Zeyuan suddenly raised his head and said. "Your Majesty must have your own shipyard, and the level of shipbuilding is only higher than that of my Ning clan, but obviously, your shipyard is not big."

"The size of the shipyard is not big now, but I can build it slowly." Qin Feng smiled.

"I'm afraid not necessarily." Ning Zeyuan shook his head: "A shipyard has a huge investment, and in the same way, a warship like this costs money like running water, Your Majesty is different from us businessmen, what you want is a fleet, and this, it is not enough to have such a main warship." From scratch, the assets involved in this are not huge, but now that the Ming Dynasty was built at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty and fought for many years, as His Majesty said, the treasury is empty, and there is no money at all. ”

"There is some truth to that, so go on."

It seemed that he had received Qin Feng's encouragement, and Ning Zeyuan's voice became slightly louder: "But Your Majesty knows the huge profits of sea trade, especially after you have won Uncle Zhou Lizhou, and you know a lot about the huge profits in it." If the sea trade is opened, the income can not only expand the shipyard, but also make up for the shortage of the national treasury. But everything is difficult at the beginning, in order to achieve this goal, Your Majesty even did not hesitate to go out in person, Your Majesty, this time you go to sea, the grass people thought, it must not be for the training of soldiers, right? ”

Qin Feng laughed out loud: "You guessed right, this time I took Zhou Li to the sea, originally with the intention of robbing, preparing to rob those pirates and plunder their storage over the years as my own, of course, I also know that your Ning clan will go to sea once at this time, and I was originally going to eat you." ”

Ning Zeyuan took a deep breath, his face was a little strange, and He Ying on the side glared angrily at Zhou Li, it turned out that this dog thing didn't have good intentions, and he was going to sea to rob them.

Qin Feng smiled happily, this Ning Zeyuan still had some vision.

"How did you see that?"

"Because Your Majesty captured those pirate ships instead of sinking them, today I saw something covered with felt cloth on the ship, it must be a long-range attack weapon on the warship, but those pirate ships were obviously not hit by long-range weapons, of course I can guess Your Majesty's intentions at this moment." Ning Zeyuan smiled: "With a grandmaster like Your Majesty pressing the formation, it is naturally extremely easy to clean up these pirates. ”

"Not one, but two!" Qin Feng raised two fingers. This made Ning Zeyuan and He Ying both gasp.

Secretly suppressed the fear in his heart, Ning Zeyuan decided to give it a go, if he didn't deal with it properly, he was afraid that the more than a dozen ships of goods would be swallowed up by the other party, and his own life might not be guaranteed.

"Your Majesty doesn't have time to accumulate slowly, so you can only quickly plunder the wealth and rob at sea, which is the fastest way, but it suffers from the shortage of warships." He stared at Qin Feng and said, "If my Ning clan comes out, Your Majesty, you won't be able to grab it." ”

"That's the truth, Zhou Li told me that your strength is indeed huge." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"But to Your Majesty's surprise, I actually sent it to the door and knew about my current predicament." Ning Zeyuan said slowly: "Your Majesty naturally thinks that if you can support me to control the Ning Clan, this shipyard will be under the control of Your Majesty." ”

Qin Feng said bluntly, "That's the truth. ”

"The shipyard is one of them, and second, Your Majesty also wants Ning's perfect sales network and those relationships outside, otherwise, Your Majesty is grabbing something, and there are many difficulties in selling it, and even if it is sold, the price is only afraid that it will be discounted. Those island countries or city belt states outside are not good men and women. Ning Zeyuan said: "Of course, with Your Majesty's temperament, if there is no Ning, in this case, most of them will send Uncle Zhou to beat those people into chaos, but this goes back to the first question, Your Majesty needs a strong fleet." ”

"Well said!" Qin Feng applauded lightly, "Zhou Li, you said that Second Prince Ning is a talented person, and now I believe it." Second Master Ning, now we can officially talk about cooperation, I think, you will not refuse me. ”

At this point, what else could Ning Zeyuan say, he could only smile bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, the grass people naturally don't dare to refuse." ”

"Don't dare to refuse and won't refuse, there's a big gap between that!" Qin Feng smiled and pointed out the difference between Ning Zeyuan's words, "But I believe that you won't regret it." Let's get straight to the point, we Daming, help you ascend to the position of the patriarch of the Ning family, and after you grasp the power, the shipyard and warships will be unified under the deployment of my Daming sailors. ”

"How does Your Majesty help the grass people ascend to the position of the patriarch of the Ning clan?" Ning Zeyuan asked.

"As a first step, these merchant ships are yours. All the goods are yours, and the profits from the sale are also yours, don't you want those pirate ships, give them all to you, and I will give you more! Qin Feng said with a smile.

"More?" Ning Zeyuan said in surprise.

"Yes, more, because next, we have to move on, and we have to sweep away the pirates who have crossed a sea area, and their ships will all become our trophies." Qin Feng waved his hand: "In this sea area, only one pirate will be allowed to exist in the future, and that is my Daming." Only we can rob, whoever dares to rob in this sea area will snatch food in my Daming's mouth, and I will want his life. ”

Ning Zeyuan and He Ying looked at each other when they heard this, and it was really hard for people to believe that this person in front of them was an emperor.

"Isn't your eldest brother going to make you fail this time? This time, however, you have won a lot of money, and you have captured so many pirate ships. He Ying, this pirate warship can make up for your losses, right? Qin Feng smiled and looked at He Ying, who had always looked very nervous.

"Your Majesty, of course it's okay, but there are ships but no soldiers!" He Ying said in a low voice.

"It's okay, when the time comes, I will naturally allocate troops to you. You can still see the soldiers on this ship, and when the time comes, it will be all for you. Qin Feng laughed.

Ning Zeyuan and He Ying glanced at each other, since the other party had placed a heavy bet on himself, of course he would send someone to follow him, this is a normal transaction, if it is not like this, then it is really a problem!

"This time you went back, your prestige has risen greatly, and I believe that the Ning clan also has some capital to compete with your eldest brother." Qin Feng smiled and said: "Of course I will send you more people, who are good at intrigues, good at organization and planning, and people who can do things that you don't want people to know about, with these people by your side, it will not be so easy for your eldest brother to plot against you in the future." Let's put it this way, with these people, in the Ning clan in the future, you will only be the one who plots against your eldest brother. ”

"Your Majesty......"

Qin Feng waved his hand and interrupted Ning Zeyuan's words: "What I just said is just the first point, the second point, I can guarantee that in the future, your brother's fleet, as long as it passes through this sea area, will be robbed by pirates, of course, these things belong to your Ning family, after I let Zhou Li rob them, you will sell them again, but I will ask for half of this profit." Most of your Ning clan's profits come from sea smuggling, when your eldest brother can't make money, will your Ning clan's old courtiers still stand by his side and support him? ”

Ning Zeyuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, if it was really as Qin Feng said, he was afraid that after a year and a half, he would be able to defeat the eldest brother. It's just that Qin Feng's methods are too vicious, and he is a little worried.

"Ning Zeyuan, I know what you're thinking? I said before, Ning's is all yours, and what I want is this thousands of miles of ocean. Those island countries and city-states in your mouth, I'm afraid that any one of them will be richer than your Ning clan, right? I want them, and I really don't pay attention to your Ning family's money. What's more, there is a vast land farther away! Qin Feng raised his head, tilted his head slightly, listened to the sound of the waves outside, and after a while, he said sharply: "Therefore, I want a strong fleet, a powerful fleet that can be formed in the shortest possible time." ”

Ning Zeyuan didn't hesitate anymore and knelt on the ground: "Ning Zeyuan is willing to serve His Majesty!" ”

Ning Zeyuan knelt down, and He Ying also knelt down.
