Big Bucktooth laughed and said, "There are many natural benefits to joining. At the very least, with Li Ye's care, no one dares to touch you easily on the sea. But if you don't, I don't think it's a big problem! There are many people on this sea who are not under the control of Li Ye. ”

In fact, this is a big bucktooth setting up a sleeve for Liu Pei. Joining Li Dan's command, not to mention anything else, it is much more convenient to buy and sell goods. At that time, there was no need for Liu Dahai to find business and sources of goods by himself. There will be a lot of people who are willing to provide sources and information.

But Big Bucktooth suffered a loss this time, and he wished that Liu Pei would not join. I can get this field back in the future. If Liu Pei joins Li Dan's command, he will belong to the same family in the future, and it will be easy to say that he will start in the future. So he deliberately said it so lightly, just because he was afraid that Liu Pei would agree. But he didn't know that Liu Pei had actually made up his mind. His goal is much bigger than Li Dan's.

Liu Pei was refreshed when he heard this, but his face was not obvious, and he said: "In other words, I can send freight as usual?" ”

Da Luoya was secretly happy when he heard Liu Pei's words, and said with a smile: "This sea is so big, how many ships can it accommodate you?" Besides, what kind of person are you as Li Ye, who will deal with you little fish who has just entered the water? ”

Rupei pondered for a moment and said, "Then please help me bring a message to Li Ye, just say that I am used to being comfortable and can't keep the rules." I won't go to harm Li Ye's reputation. The next time my ship goes to the Wa Kingdom, I will definitely bring a generous gift to Li Ye to make amends! If you have a chance in the future, you must go to see Li Ye! I still respect Li Ye, and I will pay three respects to Li Ye's subordinates! ”

Big Bucktooth thought that his own provocation had played a role, and he was secretly proud in his heart, but he said: "Boy, you have thought clearly!" Li Ye doesn't just recruit anyone to receive it, I see that you are giving you face, think about it. ”

Liu Pei has already made up his mind, where is he willing to think about it. said: "There is a hardship in the next generation that I can't join Li Ye's command. You don't have to persuade you with big buckteeth. ”

Big Bucktooth didn't want to say more, for fear that Liu Pei would change his hexagram. said: "Since this is the case, then I will repay Li Ye as you said." In the future, we will meet at sea and talk about it again. ”

Liu Pei also heard the threat in his words, but Liu Pei didn't care. Liu Pei's strength is now growing every day. And the big bucktooth can only stand still. By the end of the year, Liu Pei would have four ships to join his team. At that time, five cruisers with more than forty guns and one armed merchant ship with twenty guns joined the fleet. I'm afraid that Big Bucktooth will retaliate against him, but he will be destroyed by Liu Pei.

So Liu Pei said: "Since that's the case, don't leave it at that." ”

The two small boats each turned to the slalom flotilla. Yang Fan, the flotilla of the big bucktooth, left. Liu Pei and the others waited for the big bucktooth's fleet to disappear into the sky before driving into the harbor.

Along the way, Liu Pei kept thinking about the gains and losses of this negotiation and did not speak. Wu Yizhou, they didn't bother him. Until they entered the cottage, everyone sat down. Liu Peicai explained the matter to everyone clearly.

As soon as Liu Pei finished speaking, Liu Dahai was anxious. Originally, when Liu Pei decided to reinforce at the beginning, he didn't want to take Liu Dahai with him. But considering that he was more familiar with the characters on the sea, he dragged him along. Liu Dahai thought that Liu Pei didn't know Li Dan's strength, so he said in a panic: "The owner, you should know Li Dan, right?" His strength on the sea is the greatest! All the people who run the sea are more or less related to him. There are dozens of ships in his fleet alone! Offend him, let's not want to live a good life at sea! ”

Liu Pei shook his head and said, "I don't think I offended him." And once it will not care about our small gang of five ships. I thought about it carefully, and it was only a spur of the moment that he wanted to recruit us. As the big bucktooth said, there are many people on this sea who are not under his control. As long as it doesn't hurt his interests, he won't pay attention to us in the future. ”

Wu Yizhou said: "Family master, what should we do next?" ”

Liu Pei knocked on the table with his fingers and thought for a long time before he said to Liu Dahai: "Qibo, next time you go to the Wa Kingdom again, bring a generous gift to Li Dan, you should know what to say." ”

Liu Dahai was so frightened by Liu Pei's words that he couldn't possess his body! said: "I'm going to give Li Dan a gift, isn't that a head for nothing?" ”

Liu Pei laughed and said, "Don't worry! He won't kill you! If he only had such a small heart, he would not have been able to create such a great foundation! And if he wants to kill me, he will kill me, and you little minion can't get into his eyes! ”

Liu Dahai quieted down when he heard this. He thought about it carefully, Li Dan did kill people, but he was not fond of killing. The people who died in the hands of Li Dan more or less had some way to die. If he appeared in front of him, he really didn't have to worry about being killed by him for no reason. So he stepped aside and didn't say anything, thinking about how to wait to see Li Dan speak.

Liu Pei then said to Wu Yizhou: "This side of the island should strengthen its vigilance to prevent the big buck teeth from sneaking up. This kid suffered this loss and was thinking about revenge. In particular, it is necessary to guard against sneak attacks at night. In addition, when our ship went to Shandong, we had to avoid ships at sea and not let people find out. ”

Wu Yizhou said: "Understood! I just thought about putting a small boat on the waterway at night to keep watch. In addition, when the ship returns here to rest in the future, half of the family will be left to sleep on the ship every night. In this way, if there is a warning signal, the response is faster. ”

Liu Pei nodded and said, "This arrangement is good!" But you don't have to sleep on a boat. You can set up a barracks on the dock where the family can sleep. It's too late to rush to the ship. After all, it's hard at sea, and a bed that doesn't shake is important to them! ”

Wu Yizhou said: "Understood, family master. I'll arrange it right away. ”

Liu Pei said: "No hurry. Let me ask you, the recent change of population from Dongjiang Town seems to have stopped, why? ”

Wu Yizhou said with a smile: "Family master, you don't know, Dongjiang Town has stabilized a lot recently, and the situation has improved, so Mao Wenlong is reluctant to exchange population for food!" He said that unless he increased the exchange ratio or exchanged it for other materials, he would not change it. After all, he also needs a population to fight. ”

Liu Pei pouted dissatisfied. He was very dissatisfied with Mao Wenlong's short-sightedness. You must know that Liu Peila did have some strong men. But there are more women and children who have no combat effectiveness. Even the sturdy men who Liu Peila went back were so hungry that they lost their human form, and they needed to recuperate before they could use them.

And Liu Pei knew that Mao Wenlong was lying. Liu Pei learned from modern sources that Mao Wenlong had no idea that this year would be the peak of the escape of the Han people in Liaodong, and he simply did not have the ability to undertake such a large population. Historically, people who fled to Dongjiang were starved to death en masse. But these fugitive Han people starved to death, and they didn't want to be slaves for Houjin anymore! Each of them has a blood feud with Houjin, so they are not afraid of death when they fight! It's a pity that these good men were not taken seriously by the imperial court, and they were sacrificed in vain!

However, Liu Pei didn't have much of a population source at this time, so he couldn't do anything about Mao Wenlong for a while. At present, Liu Pei's manpower gap is also very large, and this gap will not be alleviated until next year. But then it will be too late! The ships that will be launched at the end of this year alone will need no less than six or seven hundred people! And these people are often the main force of household production. Therefore, Liu Pei really didn't dare to recruit family members from his tenants easily. That would reduce food production, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Liu Pei didn't have no way to deal with Mao Wenlong. However, Liu Pei is willing to support Mao Wenlong and the Houjin army to fight. At the same time, it is also to help those who have escaped to survive. Anyway, Liu Pei's food is enough to eat this year, and there are surplus grain reserves, so it doesn't matter if you give Mao Wenlong more. Anyway, he will spend his strength to start a war with the Houjin army.

Liu Pei thought for a while and said, "Then you can go and talk to him again." Whatever it looks like. The import of the population cannot be stopped. In addition, he didn't say that the price of wood would rise, right? ”

Wu Yizhou shook his head and said: "He sells wood normally, and the price has not increased." Because he also knew that the timber was only one of our buyers, and no one else bought it. ”
