Chapter 82: Whoever I let through, who can live
"Yes, I want to join your guys, I don't know if you're welcome?" Zeng Fan smiled, raised his eyebrows, and looked up at them. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info this look, if the four bandit kings still think that he is a nerd, they will feel that they are nerds.
This time, even Lu Xudong opened his mouth wide, he didn't know what Zeng Fan meant, and he wanted to join the gang? This is to co-opt them, to put it nicely, he came to join the gang, in fact, to bring the power of the four of them under his own door? Now in the study, it seems that only the heartbeats of four people can be heard. Or rather, they seem to hear only their own restless heart.
"My lord is really joking, otherwise, how about our family draw a part of the Hunan Chen family in the future?" Lu Xudong recovered the earliest, smiled calmly, and said word by word.
This is the biggest concession he can make. One element, just one family, can make the Chen family die, this is one percent of the four families, this will be a wealth that Zeng Fan could not have imagined. If it doesn't work, Lu Xudong is not afraid of fighting for a fish to the death. Send someone to set a torch and burn it here, even if the court wants to investigate, I'm afraid it won't be able to investigate.
"I don't need it, my wife and I can't eat a few dollars a day." Zeng Fan smiled, shook his head, and thought for a while, "I've been in Beijing for more than ten years, and I've been a little quiet and thoughtful, and I want to be a water ghost for a few days." But I don't think your respective territories are too small to fit me. Do you want to go with me to dominate the seas? ”
"Your Excellency wants us to exterminate the pirates for you?" Lu Xudong finally understood that co-authorship was still Zhao'an. He has read books, and throughout the ages, when have the bandits who were recruited have had good results. He didn't believe this, and began to think of a way out.
"Not really, as long as it's not in my way, I don't mind living with pirates." Zeng Fan shook his head, not feeling at all that what he said was not at all like what a court official should say.
"We have to have the final say, how can people give up their territory?" Sha Dabao raised his head, he was not stupid, they went to the sea to grab territory, and they were capable? It's bound to be a big fight. Back then, they also grabbed the territory, and now they are the overlords of the good side, not that they have lost their blood, but they really feel that it is not interesting.
"Otherwise, what do you want me to do? Pirates are also based on the land. I pinched their supply line, are you more confident? Zeng Fan smiled and looked into their eyes.
The four of them looked at each other again, listening to Zeng Fan's words, they now believed that Zeng Fan was really going to grab the land. It's just that the question is, he's a civilian official, what kind of pirate territory is he going to rob?
"My lord, do you want to make money quickly?" The fat man Zhu Cun was worthy of his fat body, and he smiled busily, now he really wanted to give money, and he felt that the court wanted money, so he thought of this method. If you can donate money to get the protection of the imperial court, then you can also.
"Not really, my intention was to make you become pirates. Drive a big boat, and rob whoever doesn't like the eye. Of course, if you want to rob pirates, you can do that. Anyway, you will take half of the looted things, and I will hand over the rest to the water builder. But I can guarantee that the money you have stolen will never be used to beat you. Zeng Fan was still smiling, looking longing.
"Sailor? The imperial court wants to establish a sailor? Then we'll help build the ship. The boat we built was strong and fast. Bai Busheng also breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to go to the sea to fight with those people, basically, they were actually not in the same business. Since they just asked for money to build a sailor, then they helped build the ship.
"Is the boat you built useful for going on the rivers and into the sea?" Zeng Fan thought about it and blinked, he really didn't refuse, but he was a little puzzled.
"Exactly, my lord! Pirates are not the same thing as us bandits. The sea is windy and rough, and our ship may be almost short. And we are in the middle of the rivers, so that we can set traps, and we can attack and retreat and defend. It's two trades! Lu Xudong struggled for a while, but still told the truth, they are not a business, even if they have the support of the official family. But in fact, it is still difficult. People say no, it's not a raptor, but it's not a river. The Raptors just crossed the river, but they didn't cross the sea!
"Then let's make ourselves stronger first, robbing their ships, their territory, their money and people." Zeng Fan was still laughing, and he said it lightly, as if he was going to buy a few catties of meat tomorrow. These people talked for a long time, as if he hadn't heard it.
"You're going to let us fight the pirates." Lu Xudong was a little impatient, he never wanted to cross the line. It's not that he hasn't seen the demolition of the bridge across the river, and it's not that he hasn't done it himself. If he believes in Zeng Fan and destroys the prestige that he has easily built, he does not say that he has no face to see the ancestors and ancestors underground, he only knows, then he will only die without a place to be buried.
"No, not really, if you can make the pirates work for you, as I have told you now, I would be glad to see it. I have only one request, I want Fujian Haidao, and I have the final say. Zeng Fan still shook his head and said lightly. But the last four words are eloquent. He doesn't care what method the four of them use, it's okay to cheat or cheat. Anyway, as long as the Fujian Sea Road becomes his, it will be.
"Do you have the final say, or is the court going to have the final say?" Lu Xudong suddenly realized, thought about it and asked softly. Co-authors, people don't want them, they don't want pirates, they want territory on the sea. But if they want territory at sea, someone has to help them fight it. So, Zeng Fan set his eyes on them. Now they all regret it a little, why did they have the idea of stammering this person back then, but they were worried about this one. Now that Lu Xudong thinks about it, he wants to ask again.
"Is there a difference?" Zeng Fan smiled, didn't say yes, and didn't say no.
"Of course, for your fun, our brother actually found a random place for you to play, on the rivers and lakes, there are many disobedient little monkeys, you really like to play what you like. If the court doesn't have ideas, we are wild after all. Or if we donate some money, you can build a water master. How about asking for money and giving me money? Lu Xudong let out a long sigh.
In the face of the imperial court, what else can they do, they really don't bleed, the imperial court doesn't fight pirates, just come and beat them, even if they don't beat them, the relatives and six relatives of ten miles and eight towns will be closed. What can they do when their land-based property is sealed?
So what the court wanted, they couldn't object, but they were really forced to go, and they were actually reluctant in their hearts.
"I'll seek an errand for Fujian Xuezheng, and then I'll get you a place by the sea. Your current territory can be watched by others. Then bring your own best brethren and come to help me. No matter what you do, even if it is to kill foreigners, I can protect you. But I want that sea, and whoever I say can cross, who can cross. Zeng Fan still didn't answer positively.
