"It's not impossible to do things for me, and it's not impossible to be free, but I have to trade what I want." Zhao Jin answered me calmly.

"What do you want?"

"What I want is better cannons and machinery, and more foreign craftsmen." He glanced coldly again, "Of course, I have enough pure missionaries here, and I don't need them anymore. ”

Zhao Jin's attitude made me feel new hope, but I felt embarrassed and embarrassed, so I could only bow down again and answer him respectfully.

"Venerable Lord Zhao Jin, I and my partners don't understand what you need, and if you don't have freedom, you won't be able to find it for you."

"If you have found the way and the way, tell the people here, this will also be exchanged for your credit, the more you talk and the more you do, the faster you will get what you want." Zhao Jin still didn't give an inch and said his conditions.

Although I could understand Zhao Jin's words, Louis, who rushed over, translated Zhao Jin's words into Spanish in order to show his importance.

I was a little disappointed.

He only wants what we have, but he refuses to accept what we give him.

No...... We are here to spread the glory of the Lord, and if they don't accept the Lord, then what's the point of having a good relationship with Him?

Take this with you! After a moment of silence, I finally made up my mind and gave him a little resistance. "Your Excellency, your style of doing this is detrimental to your dignity and identity, we are here to spread glory, without any malice, we ......"

"Here, I am the only one who is qualified to put forward conditions, and if you want to achieve something, it is best to do what I ask you to do, so that we can continue to talk." Zhao Jin had a smile on his face, but he interrupted me undoubtedly.

Looks like he doesn't want to say anything to me anymore.

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and this group of sturdy guards came up and grabbed me, intending to take me away.

I didn't get angry, I didn't make an irrational struggle, and now I can only face the reality - Zhao Jin is even tougher than I thought, and he doesn't even have any interest in the Lord.

But I was not discouraged, no matter how many trials the Lord gave me, I would not doubt my mission, and the present setbacks, though uncomfortable, could not defeat me.

I obediently followed the guards out of the factory, and then regretfully returned to my eager colleagues, and reported to them about my conversation with Zhao Jin.

*************

If you can get the expanded port in Haizhou, the salt cargo shipped in Haizhou can be doubled, and at the same time use it as a relay station, the status of the Yu family in Jiangnan will rise.

Because the Yu family fleet has eaten the sweetness in this port, so they don't want others to share, Zhao Ziying arranged for the Cai family and the scholars to come over to learn sailing and maneuvering, they can't learn too much, although Yu Zhiyuan emphasized several times, but after all, he is not the person who does things below, everyone tacitly does not contribute to the work, but just treats the Cai family and the scholars as free sailors on the ship, and even talks coldly behind their backs, saying that it is okay to hire a shipwright and sailor to take care of the food, and they deserve to drown, but these people from Xuzhou have to take good care.

In mid-March, the Yu family's four sand boats sailed to Liaodong, and no matter how small the following moves, they still didn't dare to disobey what they promised Zhao Jin.

There are Liao people as guides, the sand boat is not blindly going to the coastline of Liaodong, there are several destinations this time, one is Jinzhou Lushun, there are still remnants of the Ming army guarded, and the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses are still confronted, and there are many Liaodong refugees who have taken refuge in the past.

The refugees here did not help the remnants of the Ming army at all, but it was a huge burden, and it was best if someone was willing to take them in, and those refugees did not have the determination and courage to stay and fight to the death against the Jurchens.

In other places, there are islands around Liaodong, and the Jianzhou Jurchens have little ability to fight naval battles, not to mention that when the Ming army retreated, they took a large number of ships, and they had no way to cross the sea.

Of course, this time I went just to explore the way, half of the cabins on the four ships of the Yu family were occupied by the manpower of Zhao Ziying, all of them were heavily armed elite families, and the difficulties could be thought of in advance, so that a few ships went to collect the refugees, and the desperate and struggling Liaodong deserters and people would not feel what kind of mercy this was, but would treat this as a fat sheep, and the first thing that came to mind was not gratitude, but to take the boat and flee for their lives.

The heavily armed family members are just guarding against this, and whoever dares to do so will use swords and firearms to teach them how to know the rules.

On the side of Dengzhou Mansion, there have been refugees from Liaodong who have come here by boat, and people with identity and wealth will naturally not be recruited, but they have heard of the prosperity and wealth of Qingjiangpu, and the Taiping and prosperity of Xuzhou and Pizhou have also told them that moving there is a good choice for them, and for refugees, it is not easy to come to Shandong from Liaodong, and there is no choice.

Even if they have fantasies about Dengzhou Mansion, they can't stand the statements of their fellow villagers, saying how to discriminate and treat them badly, and saying that there can be a place to live in Xuzhou and Shandong, there will be fair treatment, and there will be a field, as long as you work hard, you will have food and clothing, as long as you have a craft, you can even be rich.

Everyone also knows that some people are clever and deceive the villagers, but the characters who come to show up to say the law dare to make any poisonous oath to cut off their children and grandchildren, and the people who come to say it have roots and reputations in Liaodong, and at this time, they can only believe such Cheng Dù's persuasion.

A little notice of Dengzhou Mansion and what happened everywhere, you will realize that the momentum of the Liao people entering Shandong and the north of Nanzhili is about to rise, Shandong has had many disasters and disasters over the years, natural disasters and chaos, I don't know how many people have died, there are too many people in the Ming Dynasty, and these dead will slowly be made up by the refugees from Liaodong, but those people were the people of the Ming Dynasty, but now they are Zhao Jin's people.

A large number of Liao people poured in, these people had no support, they could only rely on Zhao Jin desperately, in the past under the sphere of influence of Zhao Jin in Xuzhou, many things still have to rely on the locals, even if they are farmers who migrated from other places, they also know where their home is, and they know that they can go back.

In such a situation, it is necessary to reach some kind of compromise with the locals, although this compromise is naked oppression in the eyes of people everywhere, but the refugees in Liaodong are different, they know that their home is in Liaodong, but they don't know if they can go back, maybe the Ming Dynasty can recapture Liaodong, but now, this may be really pitiful, they can only rely on Zhao Jin, and be loyal to it.

The more refugees from Liaodong are accepted, the less compromise the locals in Zhao's sphere of influence will get, and this momentum is unlikely to be reversed at the moment.

For many people, the situation is so critical, but all the gentry and powerful, and the leading figures who are qualified to talk to Zhao Ziying everywhere do not care about this, and in March, the thing they are most concerned about is the production of Mu Shulan.

No one pays attention to Mu Shulan's birth of a boy and a girl, everyone pays attention to this matter can let everyone go over to congratulate and give gifts, this festive thing can get closer to Zhao Jin and all parties in Xuzhou, and people from other places can make friends and talk about business, and some people who have ghosts in their hearts can also see what their status is in Zhao Ziying.

Everyone knows that Zhao Ziying doesn't care about the ceremony, who is not invited may not have any thoughts, it may be convenient or not, but being invited and not being invited, directly involves the status of relevant people in the local area, some of them were not invited in the first few times, and the enemy came directly to the door, and those who were not qualified but were sent invitations immediately became majestic in the local area, and all aspects had to give face.

Not to mention that many people are making a fortune by relying on Zhao Ziying, just the distribution of salt goods and the retail of spirits have made many people earn a lot, don't be robbed of your share because you didn't go, everyone is very tight.

Although there is still no word about the ceremony, there are already countless people who have sent messages to Guò related people, must have an invitation, and are even willing to make concessions on the interests of the place and business.

"Big brother, this scene is proof of the prosperity of our Zhao Ziying, everyone bows their heads, but this is also the proof that our Zhao Ziying has not been completely controlled, if we really grasp it completely, how can so many people come, the identity of the eldest brother is so precious, how can others cling to it at will." Wang Zhaojing has his own views on this lively scene.

"You're right, but we can't put ourselves too high now, if Liaomin energy continues to enter, in another year or two, there will be less such a thing." Zhao Jin replied with a smile.

Ruhui was also present on such occasions, but compared to Wang Zhaojing and Zhao Jin's ease, he rarely had any smiles these days.

"We have to wait for the first wave of the Grange to come out...... "Whoever asked him, Ruhui replied.

Many of the displaced villagers who were resettled last year, the grange where they are located has not yet produced, and they are the same as the Liao people who continue to come, they are all consuming the food and materials accumulated in the Zhao Ziying, plus the migration and resettlement also require a lot of consumption, looking at the rapidly decreasing numbers on the accounts, Ruhui really can't laugh.

If it weren't for the huge profits of soju, if it weren't for the fact that a large number of grain that had been deducted and greedy for ink needed to be sold for money, I am afraid that Zhao Ziying would not be able to support it now.

"Cultivating the land is stable at best, not so much to collect grain, but to raise people, if you want to make huge profits, you still have to make up your mind in industry and commerce." Now Ruhui has more and more similar feelings-
