Xu Wei has actually been favored by many people in his life, although he is deviant, although he is crazy, but he is also talented, so he has always been asked to hold various positions.

But in most cases, Xu Wei was rejected, especially in his later years, he had basically decided not to go out of the mountain, and he also knew that his character was incompatible with that court, he was indulgent by nature, and he simply couldn't tolerate that kind of strict etiquette.

It's just that Guo Dan's appearance aroused some of his curiosity.

But that's about it.

He stayed in Kaifeng Mansion, and he really just helped out, and he only helped admit some teachers, as for other issues, he was very clear in his heart, but he didn't care about it, and waited for Guo Dan to deal with it himself.

If Guo Dan invited him to be the dean, it would be impossible for him to agree.

However, he never expected that Guo Dan would invite him to be a pirate, and when he encountered this kind of request for the first time in his life, Rao is talented and quick-thinking Xu Wei was a little confused.

It was too sudden.

Not at all expected.

But he is Xu Wei after all.

"Tianjin Wei's Luwang Mansion is just a pretense?" Xu Wei asked suddenly.

Guo Dan's eyes widened and asked, "How did the old gentleman guess?" ”

Xu Wei said with a smile: "Being a pirate is illegal, even if you are killed by the Nine Clans, it is not an exaggeration, if you don't get the emperor's permission, how dare you open your mouth to the old man easily." In fact, when the old man heard that the Luwang Mansion had moved from Weihui Mansion to the seaside of Tianjin Wei, the old man was a little suspicious, but the old man just thought that you might want to go overseas to do business, and never thought that you actually wanted to be a pirate. ”

Guo Dan nodded and said, "The old gentleman guessed correctly. ”

Xu Wei asked, "But the old man is very curious, how did you convince the emperor to become a pirate?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Your Majesty is very short of money now, so there are only two ways left, either to rob your own people's or to rob other people's homes." ”

Xu Wei said: "So you have a benevolent heart to advise Your Majesty, don't hurt your own people, go and rob other people's homes?" ”

Guo Dan shook his head and said: "Of course not, if I have this knowledge, I should be able to be admitted to Xiucai, I just told Your Majesty that other people's families have more money." ”

"Hahaha......!"

Xu Wei immediately burst out laughing.

"Of course, it's just a joke."

Guo Dan smiled slightly, and said: "The fact is that I am a businessman, and I am eager to engage in overseas trade, and I think that overseas trade can bring a lot of wealth to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty also supports this." But the old gentleman knows that overseas is to speak entirely by fists, and if we want to keep our caravan safe, we must have an army to protect us. ”

"Then why don't you just suggest that Your Majesty form a sea division."

"Because I'm not young, I don't want to waste my precious time debating with ministers, after all, they're all professional professionals, ahem, I mean they're good at debating, they love debating, they enjoy it, but those debates are meaningless to me."

Xu Wei looked at Guo Dan in his early twenties with a gloomy face, and his heart was full of hatred and jealousy.

Why is this kid so young that he can do this, and I ....... when I was in my twenties!

He hated Jiajing and hated that he was born at the wrong time.

That fool Jiajing is bent on when he will cross the catastrophe, and that's it, but the problem is that this kind of knowledge, how many people in the world can understand, it is estimated that Jiajing understands, Xu Wei just doesn't understand this, and he doesn't know where to start if he wants to fool the emperor, look at how good the fat house is, and he is bent on seeking wealth, what a humble and realistic request, as long as you can help me make money, I can promise you anything.

Mingjun is nothing more than that!

This hatred is hate, Xu Wei knew that Guo Dan was deliberately stimulating him and making him cherish the time he had left.

Xu Wei asked, "Why do you think the old man is suitable?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "First of all, I know that the old gentleman has also fought against the Japanese invaders, and he is very familiar with overseas Japanese and overseas battles; Secondly, overseas is about success or defeat, there are no rules to speak of, and there is no morality to talk about. ”

"Do you think that the old man does not preach morality?" Xu Wei interrupted Guo Dan's words.

Guo Dan asked rhetorically: "Does the old gentleman often preach morality?" ”

Xu Wei was silent.

He hated talking about it the most.

Guo Dan said: "Of course, the old gentleman has morality in his heart, I believe that the old gentleman will have his own judgment when he encounters problems, and I will also have his own judgment, but it is meaningless to talk about these things now." ”

Xu Weiwu was silent.

Obviously, I also agree with Guo Dan's words, and now the two of them are talking about morality here, are they personalities blowing each other?

This has to encounter problems in order to judge a person's moral character and where his bottom line is.

But Guo Dan believes that it is Xu Wei's, because with Xu Wei's intelligence, even if he can't be Zhang Juzheng, to be a corrupt official or a traitor, it is not a casual thing, but he did not do it, which shows that he is very principled.

In fact, geniuses are like this, with quirky personalities, from a certain point of view, they are actually a kind of principle that is extremely strong, but it is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Guo Dan continued: "Therefore, generals like Li Rusong are not suitable, they are my generals of the Ming Dynasty, and their duty is to fight for the country, and I don't have the face to tell them that this is fighting for the country." And their strategic thinking is not suitable for being pirates, after all, their goal is always to win the war, and our goal is pure profit, not caring about winning or losing, not caring about face. I have inquired about some of the strategies of the old gentleman in fighting against the Japanese invaders, and I think the old gentleman is very suitable. ”

Although Xu Wei is familiar with the art of war, in fact, if you ask him to lead the troops to fight, he may not be able to do it, he is good at strategy.

But that's what Guo Dan wants, such as generals like Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang, and he doesn't want to give it to him, because the overseas plan is not to fight a war, but a deal, so that they can lead a hundred soldiers to chase a cargo ship around the world every day.

Don't say whether they want to or not, Guo Dan himself is embarrassed.

Xu Wei finally spoke: "Since you have opened this mouth with the old man, it proves that you are completely sure and can convince the old man, but now that you say it, the old man is not interested at all." ”

Guo Dan said: "I just think that the old gentleman will yearn for that crazy life, and maybe I can help the old gentleman create some masterpieces." In fact, there is another reason that Guo Dan is embarrassed to say, that is, Xu Wei's image at this time is indeed suitable to be a pirate.

"Haha......!"

After Xu Wei laughed a few times, he said, "The old man is not willing to be restrained in any way. ”

The implication is that he agreed.

In fact, a plain life is not suitable for Xu Wei, otherwise, he would not have done so many absurd things, deep down he still hopes to pursue excitement, in fact, artists are like this, so war or turbulent times are the easiest to produce artists.

On the contrary, in peacetime, everyone is pursuing what kind of sound dogs and horses.

Xu Wei really didn't want to be a pirate, he hadn't been crazy to that point, and now that Guo Dan mentioned it, he thought it was quite interesting, because it would be a platform with no etiquette and no restraints, anyway, he was also old, and it was better to be crazy than to end up depressed.

Having said that, in fact, Guo Dan's appearance has already stimulated him a little, you must know that he is also a son-in-law, he watched Guo Dan's success, and while he was jealous, he also felt very cool in his heart.

Guo smiled lightly: "It is impossible for a restrained pirate to succeed. ”

"Could it be that the old man is a natural pirate?"

Xu Wei laughed, and said curiously: "You take the liberty to inform the old man about this, aren't you afraid that the old man will leak secrets?" ”

Guo Dan said: "First of all, I admit that I have carefully investigated the old gentleman, and I am sure that I can tell the old gentleman, then again, once this plan is implemented, there must be many people who know, and I can't stop doing it because I am afraid of others leaking secrets." ”

Before coming into contact with Xu Wei, Guo Dan had also been thinking about who should go to Tianjin Wei to sit in town, because it was impossible for him to stay there every day, and Wanli did not have such talents around him, and he did not have them by his side, because this is not a serious deal, and he has to rely on the assistance of force, so this requires the kind of smart, resolute, brave and resourceful, and crazy people.

A general like Li Rusong, who is serious, really can't do this job.

After meeting Xu Wei, Guo Dan learned something about Xu Wei from Aunt Xu, and suddenly found that Xu Wei might be an excellent candidate, in addition to age, he is very suitable in all aspects.

So he secretly sent someone to investigate Xu Wei's previous deeds.

Definitely the best candidate.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't have opened this mouth easily.

"Since you're not afraid, that's the best." Xu Wei smiled: "The old man still needs someone to help." ”

"Sir, please."

"Shen Weijing." Xu Wei said.

"Shen Weijing?"

Guo Dan frowned and said, "Why does this name sound so familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere." ”

Xu Wei smiled: "Since you have said so, then you should have met him, the old man heard that he went to Weihui Mansion with Zhao Shizhen last year." ”

"Zhao... Zhao Shizhen, oh... I remember. ”

Guo Dan nodded violently: "I remembered, I remembered, there is such a person." I don't know what kind of talent this person can get the favor of the old gentleman. ”

He vaguely remembered that there was indeed a person around Zhao Shizhen who was good at flattery, but he didn't care about it at that time.

Therefore, Xu Wei's sudden mention of this person made him very curious.

Xu Wei said: "He once worked with the old man under Hu Zongxian, this person is idle, and he has been abducted and deceived everywhere, but among the scoundrels in the world, he is also quite bold and talented." ”

Guo Dan blinked and said, "This... That's why the old gentleman favored him? ”

Xu Wei nodded and said: "After all, the old man also wants to save face, and there are some dirty things, and the old man doesn't bother to do it." ”

Damn, how did I suddenly think of Xinganbo, it's not right. Guo Dan hurriedly shook his head and said briskly: "No problem." ”

He could understand Xu Wei's thoughts very well, because he had done so before.

It can only be said that the hero sees the same thing!
