open sea

Chapter 974 Mission
Uncle Hei's plate spread much wider than that of Hulan.

On land, he met countless sworn brothers. These brothers were in charge of their own tribes, and they even brought nephews and nephews who had harvested hundreds of times more than the sworn brothers.

In Hei Yunlong's philosophy of life - to become one of the tribes, this will not only fulfill Chen Mu's entrustment to him, but also enable him to have an indelible position in this land for one or two generations.

That boy Yang Tingxiang has become the governor, who can be satisfied with being just a small general officer?
On the sea, Hei Yunlong also pulled up the banner and pulled the tiger skin, and fought fiercely with the Dadongyang Hexingsheng Company, which started in a hurry.

"He Xingsheng is from Fujian and Guangxi, and he is the commander's own person. We, Old Hei, Brother Li, may know it, and he likes to date people."

Hei Yunlong smiled and cupped his hands at Li Yuxi, the leader of the spring merchants who was wearing a square scarf and a blue shirt in the tent, and said: "Then Mr. Li's family is naturally Hei's own."

"Hei has admired your name for a long time. In Beijiaowutang, I once read "Fan Hai Jia Shi Lu" written by Nanyang literati for Li Dong's family. It is very wonderful. When I was looking for vaccines in Florida earlier, I heard that you went to sea To explore the trade route of England, how could it appear here?"

Hei Yunlong has heard of Li Yuxi, and the names of these big boats such as Fujian, Guanghe and Xingsheng have been recorded in the North and South Lecture Halls, and there are also works based on their experiences in the legendary novels of the Nanyang School, and they are more creative than Lin Manjue and others The blueprint of the novel made the common people applaud even more.

There is no other reason, the word 'get rich' is enough.

"Marshal Hei's flattery makes the villain terrified." With a formulaic smile on his face and a formulaic speech of respect, Li Yuxi bowed his hands to the west with a smile, and said: "The grassroots are just favored by Marshal Chen. Getting a little fame in the middle is far less than the feats of Hei Shuai serving the country and defeating the enemy barbarians, such words of praising grassroots people are really frightening, extremely frightening."

However, it is 430 times more sincere than Chen's smirk, if it wasn't for the good-natured smile on his face without any panic, Old Hei might really have believed his words, but at least such a compliment is It's easy to make people feel good.

Li Yuxi cupped his hands again, and said: "I wanted to sail to Plymouth next time, but I encountered a western ship at sea and brought news that the fleet of little Chen Shuai had met Fa Yi at sea and retreated to the port of the Western Kingdom. The route was unstable, so Carrying the goods was useless to help little Chen Shuai, so he retreated to North Asia to form a good relationship with the local people."

"Xiao Shuai Chen, is there a fight at sea?"

Hei Yunlong knew that Chen Shuai was referring to Chen Jiujing, and also knew about the mission of Li Dan and Chen Jiujing to go to sea, but he didn't expect Chen Jiujing to move so fast, so he hurriedly asked: "How is the war going?"

"Hei Commander don't need to worry. I heard that although the King of the West is unwilling to intervene in the disputes in the north, there are many princes in his country who are willing to serve. Xiao Chen Shuai recruited a Western Army from the north of the West Kingdom to use the banner of our dynasty, so even if the sea is near Fayi, too, will not fall behind."

Hei Yunlong frowned when he heard the words. As far as he knew, Fei Laoer had a deep control over domestic power, and it was unlikely that this western army would not have the Spanish court behind it.

However, it is inappropriate to ask Li Yuxi, a merchant, about this matter. It is useless for him to know less, and it is even more inappropriate for him to know more. He will not say it on the surface, but he has made up his mind to wait for the battle report later.

For soldiers, meritorious service is the most important thing on the battlefield, not to mention that Hei Yunlong also wants to take his elite cavalry that defeated the Spanish knights to see that piece of mainland that he has never been to, which is better than the wilderness of North Asia.

"Can the local people here make profits for your company?"

Hei Yunlong really didn't realize that his nephews had this ability. Although they made some fur profits, they were not as rich as Haimao's ten times or a hundred times profits.

What's more, Changsheng has no shortage of fur.

On this point, Li Yuxi and Hei Yunlong had an unprecedented agreement. He replied: "there is no special local product, just some skins and wood, but it is not easy to transport the huge wood, and there is no shortage of small wood, which is embarrassing for business; but they don't have it, so you can give it to them." .”

Li Yuxi was not the Hei Yunlong he met at sea, he said with a smile: "I'm from the north, I've sold tobacco seeds to the natives, and taught them how to grow them. As long as the coastal defense is well managed, they can be sold to Europe next year."

This Quanzhou merchant who was born in Jinjiang, Quanzhou Prefecture, a place called Anhai in ancient times, was a ruthless character.

Anhai is the eighth capital of the seventeen capitals of Jinjiang County. It has a tax card named "Shijingjin" with a municipal shipping department. He went to Guangdong to do business with his fellow countrymen when he was 12 years old.

Doing business depends on treating people with integrity and dealing with them flexibly. Gradually, merchants in Guangdong are willing to partner with him to sell goods, earning the first pot of gold, and then going wide every year.

The so-called Zouguang means that Chen Mu searched and blocked the merchants who sold goods to Haojing in Xiangshan in his early years. He often dealt with the foreigners in Haojing and Macao, and he learned fluent Spanish when he was very young.

In the 44th year of Jiajing, the Spaniards occupied Luzon and recruited Ming merchants to trade in Luzon. The pirates did not dare to go there until the pirate situation was known. The young Li Yuxi was the first merchant to land in Luzon. The Spanish leader talked, opened up the market very quickly, and returned home with huge profits.

He succeeded in his first voyage to Luzon, and in the second year, the people of Anhai rushed to follow him, and even went from ten to nine. He really took his position as a great merchant in the Ming Dynasty.

Hei Yunlong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Changsheng and Mocheng already have a lot of tobacco, and if we plant more, can we sell it?"

Li Yuxi nodded firmly, and said: "Tobacco originally came from Central Asia and was used by the local people; later, the Westerners came here, and it was known to the Westerners, and it was brought to Lu Song and was acquired by the imperial court. As far as the countries in Southeast Asia, there are people who like this thing, and the situation in Europa is similar."

"They were brought back by the Spaniards, and now all the neighboring countries like this way. The natives are short of food and clothing, and have no special products. Now I give them grass seeds, and they can be traded in various stores next year. How can they not be sold in Europe? benefit?"

Speaking of this, Li Yuxi got to the point, and said: "I come from the Northern Longhouse Alliance, and I am bold enough to ask Hei Shuai for something I want."

Hei Yunlong nodded noncommittally, he was thinking about something else—going to Europe.

He felt that it was unreliable for Chen Jiujing to use one army to fight against one country. It would be fine if he led the Nanyang Banner Army or Beiyang Banner Army, but the second battalion he mixed with Li Dan, one Baishan and one Fusang, were not counted. What elites, sooner or later they won't be able to catch them.

When Chen Jiujing has a problem, he will have the opportunity to lead his troops to visit in the name of support. Not to mention him as a general, just the banner army here, what is the reason why he went to such a remote place in his prime?
It is said in the teaching materials of the martial arts hall that the army cannot be for fame and fortune. It is called the ancient army. The modern army cannot be said that way. Value, in order to achieve the national historical mission - the world is the same.

But Hei Yunlong didn't have a boat, so his cunning eyes naturally focused on Li Yuxi. Although he received the news of Li Yuxi's request to see him in the camp, he had some speculations about the matter, but he insisted on not saying that he wanted to go with him until now. Li Yuxi asked for help.

Until Li Yuxi opened his mouth, his eyes almost lit up, and he said with a smile: "Brother Li, let's talk, let's talk..."

　Good morning!
