Chapter 105: The First Trade with the Spaniards

On this trip to Jilong Bay, Yu Xiaotian stayed in Jilong Bay for more than a month, and when he returned to Nanri Island, the situation here was thriving, and there was no major chaos.

In the more than a month since he left here, all the work of Nanri Island has continued to move forward, and all ministries have been performing their own duties, and they have not been delayed because of his absence.

This is the benefit of the system, as long as the system is set, it is not necessarily in charge of the house has to be stared at every day, through Yu Xiaotian's unremitting efforts, now the sea wolf is like a precision machine that is assembled, as long as there is power, there is no need to interfere with it, it will run on its own, even if there are some small problems, it will not affect the overall shutdown.

According to the old custom, as soon as Yu Xiaotian returned to Nanri Island, he gathered his subordinates and informed everyone about his trip to Jilong Bay.

And Yu Xiaotian told everyone that he would arrange for them to go to Jilong Bay in batches to have a look, after all, it was already their sea wolf's territory, and if their leaders didn't know what it was like over there, it would be a bit too much to say.

Liu Lao Liu smiled: "Of course! Although I haven't been to Chicken Coop Bay yet, I can probably tell from the mouth of the big boss that it is indeed a good place! The big guys want to go over and see it as soon as possible! ”

"It's not a good place, where there is too much rain, it rains at both ends of three days, but the terrain is good, easy to defend and difficult to attack, after the fort on the island outside the mouth of the bay is built, if anyone wants to attack the bay again, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult! The key there is that the channel to the east can be blocked, and the west can be quickly come, and the advance can be attacked and retreated, which is the reason why I spare no effort to consolidate there!

By the way, is there any news from Wang Hong? Did Chen Jiu find it? Yu Xiaotian stopped this topic, and instead began to care about Chen Jiulai, who ran away some time ago.

This time, it was Ma Xiao who caught Yu Xiaotian's words, hugged his fists and got up and said: "Congratulations to the big boss, congratulations to the big boss!" ”

Yu Xiaotian was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly asked, "Oh? So Chen Jiu has already been caught? ”

Ma Xiao nodded and said, "Not bad! After Chen Jiu was defeated by the big boss, he was panicked like a lost dog, hiding everywhere in Funing, wanting to gather the remnants with the intention of making a comeback!

However, the third brother Wang was watching very closely with the brothers over there, and during this time, he caught a lot of Chen Jiu's subordinates, forcing Chen Jiu not to show his head, and he couldn't collect the original remnants.

And his nest was taken by the big boss, he asked for money but no money, he wanted food but no food, and he lived in hiding in Tibet all day long by stealing chickens and touching dogs!

And Pang Sen and the others were shocked by us, and they didn't dare to help him, and even spared no effort to help us clean up Chen Jiu's remnants.

Therefore, Chen Jiu felt that he couldn't mix in Funing anymore, so he led his men to the north, but just happened to run into our two boats patrolling over there.

After the brothers on our two boats found out about Chen Jiu, they immediately sent people to recruit nearby Pang Sen to come over to help in the battle, and at the same time directly intercepted their way, and a good fight led to Chen Jiu's death on the spot.

Chen Jiu's younger brother Chen Gan saw his brother die, and he had no intention of fighting again, so he threw his brother's body into the sea and died, and Chen Jiu's men had no choice but to surrender to us!

By the time Pang Sen came, only one of Chen Jiu's men had been able to escape, and the remaining two boats had been captured by us and had been towed back to Twin Peaks.

When Third Brother Wang heard the news, he sent a boat back on the same day and sent the news back! ”

After hearing this, Yu Xiaotian was a little embarrassed about Chen Jiu's ending, after all, Chen Jiu is also a man, who has been rampant in the sea around Funing for so many years, and has few opponents, but after meeting him Yu Xiaotian, Chen Jiu fell into bad luck, and after two major battles, he was beaten back to his original form.

Before he died, he really felt a little like a tiger falling into Pingyang, and finally died in the hands of his subordinates in such a daze.

"When did Chen Jiu die?" Yu Xiaotian asked after sighing lightly.

"Nine days ago! We only got the news five days ago! The horse owl replied.

"How many remnants of Chen Jiu and ships have been captured recently?" Yu Xiaotian then asked.

"A total of six boats were caught and three of him were burned, and a few boats were rumored to have escaped from the Funing area, and the third brother Wang sent back the news that a total of nearly 200 people under Chen Jiu were captured, and according to the method of the big boss, after dismissing more than 100 of them who were forcibly kidnapped, there were about 100 people left, and now they have been sent back to Nanri Island, and they have been put into the isolation camp, waiting for the big boss to come back and send them out!" The horse continued to answer.

Yu Xiaotian patted the armrest of the chair vigorously, and said with a smile: "Wang Hong did a really good job, he actually completely cleaned up Chen Jiu's remaining potential so quickly!" In this way, Chen Jiu will never be a trouble for us in the future!

It's just that what I didn't expect was that the two of them had a deep affection, and Chen Qian would actually live and die with his brother! It's rare! Alas, alas! It's admirable!

By the way, what happened to the bookmakers behind the two Chen Jiu now? ”

Yu Xiaotian hasn't forgotten the two financiers behind Chen Jiu, now he spends a lot of money, it is not possible not to find some money, most of the maritime merchants in Fuzhou have established a certain connection with their sea wolves, and they are a little embarrassed to start, and they also lose credibility, but Funing's side is not in the scope of consideration.

Ma Xiao shook his head and said: "During this time, Third Brother Wang has not yet freed up his hand to deal with them, and these two dealers of Chen Jiu are now afraid to death, and they have sent people to Shuangfeng Island to intercede many times, wanting to spend money to settle this matter, but Third Brother Wang has no instructions from the big boss and has not seen them."

These two families are now hiding in their Zhuangzi and dare not come out, and they have also invited a lot of caretakers to protect them, and they themselves have run to Funing City with their wives and children, and they dare not come out. ”

"Oh? They're so cautious! Did they run away and the monk run to the temple? Can their business stop and not do it? I don't believe it!

Send someone to inform Wang Hong to keep an eye on the ships of the two of them, as long as they go to sea, they will take it for me, and from now on they will not want to run the business at sea again! In addition, take advantage of the opportunity to take down their Zhuangzi and let everyone know that those who oppose our sea wolves will not end well! Yu Xiaotian said with a frown.

Ma Xiao immediately got up and responded to the order, arranged to go down, and immediately passed Xiaotian's order to Wang Hong, who was stationed on Shuangfeng Island.

Turning his head, Yu Xiaotian asked about other businesses, and Li Gouzi gave Yu Xiaotian a rough introduction to the business situation when he was not there recently.

Since Chen Jiu was cleaned up, the distance of the channel controlled by the sea wolf has more than doubled compared to before, and the maritime merchants are very happy about this, although Yu Xiaotian has increased the toll by three times, but most of them still accept it happily, and more ships in the past have begun to take the initiative to pay money to buy the road, in the past two months, the toll collected alone has reached the income of the previous half a year.

So with this alone, the Seawolf's fiscal deficit has basically been completely reversed, and now not only is it enough for them to spend, but it is also beginning to show surpluses.

After Yu Xiaotian heard the news, he was very relieved at the same time, but also felt the importance of the territory, effectively controlling the larger territory, you can harvest more funds, and now the sea area controlled by their sea wolf is not the real golden waterway in China, if one day he can develop the power to the Guangdong area, then he will really be rich at that time!

After all, the busiest sea traffic is still in the sea area south of Zhangzhou Prefecture, they are still far away from there, and in addition, large pirate groups in the late Ming Dynasty are also active in the south of Zhangzhou, precisely because of the large number of ships there.

However, Yu Xiaotian also knew that although he had the strength to go south and compete with those big peers, after all, he was still involved in dividing considerable energy and manpower to manage the staff, and the Funing Sea had just been taken by him not long ago, so he needed to stabilize it before he could draw his strength to go south.

So at the moment, although he is very greedy for the fat in the south, there is no better way, so he can only follow the step-by-step process, step by step, strive to build a more solid foundation, and wait until his strength is strong enough, and then move south to seize a larger territory in one fell swoop.

On the whole, he is quite satisfied with his current situation, but he is not satisfied with the fact that he feels that there are really few helpers who can take charge of his current subordinates, otherwise he can do more things.

But he can't be too anxious about helpers, he can only gradually find some useful talents among his subordinates first, and cultivate them carefully, so that one day they can become independent talents, and he also needs to discover some talents from other places in the next step for his use.

So when he thought of this, he said to Li Gouzi: "Your council hall has done a good job recently, but your pressure is really not small, you should think of a way to inquire on the land, whether there are people who are good at management, just go unlucky, you might as well find some such people and add them to your council hall, so that Uncle Li and Uncle Zhao will be much easier!"

By the way, did the boat sent to Manila last time come back? ”

"It's back! I just came back, Zhang Feng who went this time brought back a good news, the dry silk people over there heard that we can do without silver, only saltpeter, they are very willing to do our business, and this time all the goods we sent, returned to us a boatload of saltpeter! There are about more than 10,000 catties, less than 20,000 catties, which is enough for us to use for a long time!

They said that if we wanted a large amount, they could prepare more saltpeter for us, and after half a year, we could have as much as we wanted! As long as we send them more raw silk and tea, we can exchange them for saltpeter! This time, Zhao Mazi, who was in charge of this matter, hurriedly replied.

Yu Xiaotian sneered and said, "This dry silk man is actually a Spaniard!" Their country is called Spain, and it is one of the first Tessians to rise above the sea, and there are many places in the world.

They occupied quite a few places, and in some places there were so many saltpeter mines that they couldn't use them up! So of course they are willing to do our business, and now their saltpeter is not easy to sell, and when they hear that we want to, of course they are happy!

However, the price they gave us was too high, and the shipload we sent this time, according to the price they gave, could buy them at least 50,000 catties of saltpeter, but they only gave us less than 20,000 catties of saltpeter, and they were too smart!

It's not a good deal! ”
