Chapter 1216: First Class
The sun has just come out, and the seaside is brilliant, which makes people feel refreshed, but everyone who meets them can't take care of this wonderful scenery, Li Siming and Li Simin saw Li Laohai as soon as they saw it, Li Siming was so frightened that he took a step back, Li Simin gritted his teeth and wanted to rush up, and was directly held down by the two family members, but Li Laohai didn't move, just sat there and sighed.
"Fourth master, the old man asked on behalf of my family's leader, can you hand over these Li family members who entered Hong Kong yesterday to us, if you can hand it over, we can also agree to the conditions that the Li family gang agreed to in the past, you can add another three percent, if you don't agree, then don't hurt each other because of this, this Haizhou Port is a cornucopia, don't delay everyone to get rich." Li Laohai said in a deep voice.
Hearing this condition, Shi Manqiang and Ye Wenwen looked at each other, and the Li family brothers over there were extremely nervous, and they had to say that the conditions offered by the new leader were very generous, and there was no threat to use the strong meaning, this was a pure businessman's style, but Shi Manqiang and Ye Wenwen could also understand why the other party was like this, they couldn't threaten Xuzhou at all, so why bother to offend people in vain.
Shi Manqiang's hesitation made Li Siming and Li Simin over there even more nervous, but Shi Manqiang quickly said his answer: "Uncle Li, since these people from the Li family have come to Xuzhou, we will definitely take care of our allies back then, how can we hand it over to others, Uncle Li still don't mention it, let's not be angry about this." ”
"The fourth master doesn't call Uncle Li anymore, the old man has changed back to his original surname and is called Zheng Laohai!" Li Laohai, Zheng Laohai said in a rough voice.
"You still have the face to say this, if it wasn't for the eldest lord to take you in, your Zheng family would just be a small shrimp eating on the coast, you are ungrateful, you will definitely feed the fish in the future!" Li Simin roared angrily, but he had already suffered a little bit of a secret loss in the obstruction of the family just now, and at this time he just shouted.
Zheng Laohai glanced at Li Simin, his face was a little cold, but after seeing Li Simin's broken arm and then looking at his own broken arm, he shook his head and said in a sullen voice: "If it weren't for the management of my Zheng family's children, how could this big gang have today, your big man's mind is on money and women, and he has lost his enterprising spirit, and now the big sharks over there in Fujian and Guangdong are one after another, if they don't do anything to you, the whole gang will be finished." ”
After saying this, Zheng Laohai touched his broken arm with his hand, but said with emotion: "You actually know how to use me, you know that this arm is not life-threatening, and you know how to deal with wounds, I didn't teach you in vain!" ”
Li Simin's eyes were bloodshot, the whole person seemed to be about to explode, he took a step forward, and was stopped by the family Ding, Li Simin was about to pounce forward, and was directly hugged by two people, Li Simin yelled at Zheng Laohai, shouted a few times, tears flowed endlessly, and the cry turned into a howl.
Shi Manqiang frowned, signaling to drag the person down, but Li Siming has been very cringe, but there is no angry look, Zheng Laohai's eyes are slightly closed, and only when Li Simin is dragged down does he look at Li Siming, shake his head and say: "We people at sea are not afraid of life and death, but you are like a son, if you really hand over the family business to you, this gang will have to be destroyed." ”
After saying this, Zheng Laohai ignored Li Siming's reaction, and asked Shi Manqiang directly: "Fourth master, the old man asks again, you will definitely not pay this Li family, right?" ”
Shi Manqiang nodded indifferently, and Zheng Laohai asked again: "Then the berthing trade and various purchases in this port, as well as the various rules in the past, should you change?" ”
"Master Zheng, you are still the same people, the boat is still the same boat, and you have no grudges against each other, why change? If you have any ideas because of the change, you can come over to discuss, and there will be arrangements for my family. This question was answered by Na Ye Shu.
After hearing Ye Wenwen's answer, Zheng Laohai didn't have any joy on his face, but changed the topic and asked, "In this case, can we use Haizhou Shipyard?" ”
"Naturally, this shipyard can be built thanks to the help of your place, and the master shipwright inside is still provided by your office, how can we cross the river and dismantle the bridge, and it is still the same as before." Ye Wenwen smiled.
Zheng Laohai has experienced so many ups and downs, so he naturally will not be moved by such words, he groaned and asked: "Then how to count the items of salt, ironware, Xuzhou cloth and soju?" Are the artillery that was promised to be sold to us still sold? ”
Asked about this, Ye Wenwen hesitated for a moment, and continued to answer with a smile: "Please rest assured, Master Zheng, fair trading, as long as you can do what you promised before, then what you promised here in Xuzhou will not change, it will be the same as before." ”
Salt goods are necessities, the delivery of Huai salt to Fujian is not only profiteering, but also has political significance, iron tools and weapons and ship components are related, for the maritime merchant this kind of armed caravan is also fundamental, and the Ming coastal area can provide a large number of high-quality iron tools, only Haizhou Port, and the price is passable, Xuzhou cloth and shochu are profiteering commercial goods, and it is even worth running the north alone for these two goods, artillery is a militaristic heavy weapon, not to mention.
Since these things are still in supply, there will be no change in the relationship between the two sides, but Ye Wenwen's promise does not reassure Zheng Laohai, he has been staring at Shi Manqiang, and found that Shi Manqiang has no intention of refusing to deny, so he relaxed a little.
"Well, there's nothing more to say, my family's leading shopkeeper has a saying that this Li family's ship can't sail on the sea in the future, if it is seen by my family's gang, it will definitely be a shipwreck, and people will die." Zheng Laohai's voice became a lot calmer.
Shi Manqiang raised his head, his face turned cold, those more than ten ships are rare resources, what is this Zheng family gang If this attitude, then there will be a war in the future, and there is no need to mention the trade preferences promised before, but Zheng Laohai said in a muffled voice: "If the ships of Xuzhou go to sea, everyone must make it convenient." ”
After saying this, the tense atmosphere in the room immediately relaxed, Zheng Laohai didn't say much, just hugged his fists and said: "Since the confession is over, the old man will not delay here for more, and someone will hand over the bill of goods later, this time the amount of salt and iron is not much, and please complete the unloading in these days, my leading shopkeeper also said, he must come to visit the door to visit, and then come to bother." ”
Zheng Laohai walked out, Shi Manqiang and Ye Wenwen got up to see each other, it can be seen that the guards waiting for Zheng Laohai outside are high-spirited, and even have some hostility towards the people in Zhao Ziying, but Zheng Laohai's love is not very high, and when he got on the boat, he sighed: "I said I wanted to go home to care for the elderly, but if I continue to toss like this, I am afraid that I will die and feed the fish." ”
I thought that there would be an attack and defense on land and sea, but I didn't expect to be able to do business, but the preparation of Haizhou port is very sufficient, salt and iron and even Xuzhou cloth are stored, and the managers of Yunshan Xing in the port have begun to prepare goods and settle accounts, and there are also some special products of the Japanese country to be sold on the sea ship.
"Our business here is to win the war, these people at sea win the battle and are armed to do business, this time the ballast is actually copper ingots and gold and silver, is this pursuit still to take into account the inbound trade?" On the return trip, Ye Wenwen couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
They went to send Zheng Laohai, but Li Siming was still guarded by the family and did not move, waiting for Shi Manqiang and Ye Wenwen to come back, but Li Siming, who was cowering and cowardly before, gritted his teeth and said: "Two, that Zheng Laohai has a human face and a beast's heart, he is all lying and deceiving, you must not believe it, otherwise you will be killed!" ”
Ye Wenwen sneered, and Shi Manqiang didn't even bother to answer, and directly arranged for someone to take this Li Siming down to settle down, after the person left, Shi Manqiang couldn't help but say: "Zheng Laohai is actually not wrong, if this big gang is handed over to this Li Siming, I'm afraid it will really collapse." ”
Zheng Laohai's words just now, which seemed to be a warning and threat, actually pointed out a way of life for the remnants of the Li family, as long as you can take refuge in Xuzhou, you can save your life, if you still want to insist on the name of the Li family, that is, to go to the road of death, no wonder others, but to express such a clear meaning, this Li Siming did not understand at all.
Although the forts and families in Haizhou Port have always been in good standby, but the Zheng family's fleet is very peaceful, after loading the goods to replenish the fresh water, they will anchor and leave, in order to be safe, Shi Manqiang They also specially arranged for the inconspicuous merchant ships in the ship to follow, and three days later turned around to report, the Zheng family's fleet did go far, which made the vigilance here become a little relaxed.
At this time, the Xuzhou messenger also rushed to Haizhou and brought Zhao Jin's order, Zhao Jin's opinion was the same as Shi Manqiang's disposal at that time, the Li family had to stay, and the fleet had to be swallowed, and Zhao Jin gave a detailed statement, Li Siming, Li Simin and the backbone of the Li family's crew and sailors, etc., all let them come to Xuzhou for a tour, Zhao Jin wanted to see it in person, as for the ordinary ones below, they were mixed with Zhao Ziying's own sea sailors.
Zhao Jin's letter is very detailed, and he wants the Second Brigade to first divide and absorb the remnants of the Li family, and turn these forces into the maritime foundation of the Zhao Ziying, but the business of the Zheng family cannot be delayed, according to the letter, don't regard the Zheng family gang and the Xuzhou Zhao Ziying as similar organizations, the Zheng family gang is for trade and wealth, as long as they can make money in harmony and mutual benefit and win-win results, they will not form a life-and-death enemy with the Zhao Ziying.
"The joy of the master can be read between the lines!" Ye Wenwen smiled and sighed, Cheng Dahu and Geng Mancang, who had rushed here, were all present, and everyone's feelings were high, and there were orders and news coming from Xuzhou in the past few days, and those of them in the upper echelons knew the news, this time the big battle against the official army, the Second Brigade and Huai'an North District were related, although there was no merit, this time they accepted the Li family's fleet, and continued to maintain relations with the Zheng family, Xuzhou regarded this as a top priority!
