Fang Degang thought for a long time and said, "I roughly understand what you mean. But since the role of merchants is so great, why did the sage designate merchants as the end of the four people? ”

Fang Degang nodded and said, "This is true!" It's more than enough to be a county magistrate with the talent of a brother. ”

Liu Pei shook his head and said, "You can't say that. There are some things that the saints don't know. Just like the four characters of Shinong, industry and commerce, the sage's original intention may be to say that the four people are equal, or it may be said casually, but it is just deliberately misinterpreted by later generations. Besides, many of the words of the sages are also true in guiding people to goodness. We should let these things continue to be passed on. After all, the words of the sages have long been integrated into the ordinary life of our nation, and we cannot cut it off, but we can only strive to carry forward its good side and remove its dross side. ”

Immediately began to discuss the words of the sage with Hua Shufeng and Liu Pei. Hua Shufeng is okay, at least he has read books. But where did Liu Pei read the Four Books and the Five Classics? He couldn't interject at all. But Fang Degang still has to ask Liu Pei from time to time, what is Liu Pei's opinion? Liu Pei couldn't help it.

When the two of them heard this, they stopped talking, recalling the purpose of the discussion at the beginning. But neither of the two of them spoke, wanting to see what Liu Pei said? Liu Pei was not polite, and said directly: "The matter has come to this, the two brothers listen to me." ”

Eyebrows fluttered, and he felt that his skills had a place to be displayed.

Hua Shufeng looked desperate! He really didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing. After all, this thing is going to lose your head! And Fang Degang squinted his eyes and said, "I don't know how the virtuous brother will place me?" ”

Liu Pei said: "Brother Siyue is good at business, and then the business affairs will belong to Brother Siyue's prime minister." As for Brother Quy Nhon who is good at governance, let me share the affairs of civil affairs! ”

As for Hua Shufeng, he could only nod aggrievedly in agreement. He also knew that he couldn't go now, and there was no other way but to agree.

Hua Shufeng was still silent, but Fang Degang walked to the side of the case without care, picked up a pen and paper, and directly wrote two letters of allegiance, one signed his name, and the other was handed to Hua Shufeng for him to sign.

During the banquet, Fang Degang was elated, and Hua Shufeng had a sad face.

After arriving below, the two of them were really surprised by Liu Pei's ability. Although yesterday I heard Liu Pei talk about the strength in his hands in detail. But where is the shock of intuitive seeing! In particular, the warehouse was full of firearms, cannons, and armor, which made people very happy to see. Even Huahua Shufeng quietly said to Fang Degang: "It seems that I may not lose my head in the future." Maybe a knighthood. ”

Liu Peiyi, who got rid of government affairs, was relaxed and devoted himself to the great cause of training the army and transporting materials. Among them, he was most concerned about shipyards. After the Jiaozhou was launched, the masters assigned the shipbuilding tasks of the same level to their children and grandchildren, and several masters specially led a group of apprentices who did not know anything to specialize in the upper class of warships. The use of apprenticeships, although slow, also gives the master craftsmen time to think about the technology. And when the ship is built, the apprentices will be able to use them as craftsmen. As long as a few qualified boatmen lead the way, a new ship can be built.

This made Liu Pei very satisfied, but Liu Pei's wallet was very dissatisfied! A huge amount of silver flowed out of Liu Pei's wallet and turned into wood and materials in the drying room, which made Liu Pei's cash silver always in a state of tension. But fortunately, there is Huashufeng, and after he donated two sums of silver to Liu Pei, he can be regarded as solving the urgent need.

Just when Liu Pei was distressed in order to collect the goods, a person recommended himself to find him. This person is Liu Dahai. Liu Dahai was a tooth man when he was first in Macau. Although he has never done business in Ben, he is really a candidate under Liu Pei who really understands sea trade.
