Chapter 156: Victory and Defeat

The East 'Gate' Qing let Tang Xiuji and Zhou Dafu deal with the aftermath of the work, and after arranging the things here, he led the main force, together with Xu Yuanliang to leave Shuijiang City, and first went to Songpu City to see Ayako, this deserted courtyard before the war was lively again at the moment, the house was full of gifts from wealthy families from all over the country, when the East 'Gate' Qing came in, there were several noble ladies sitting in the house, all of them were flattering Ayako, and they heard that the East 'Gate' officials came back before they said goodbye.

Ayako knelt at the entrance of the 'door' to welcome her husband home, and the east 'door' Qing closed the 'door' and picked her up, kissed her and said, "I wronged you a few days ago." Ayako said, "Don't be wronged." I knew Sang-koe would win. ”

Dongmen Keiha laughed and said, "I have to rush to Goto, I can't spend the night here." I'm going to see you this time, I can't stay long. I'll talk about it when I get back. ”

Ayako said, "Xianggong can go with confidence." Everyone respects me here, you don't have to worry about me. ”

Seeing that she was so considerate of herself, Dongmenqing was happy in her heart, and she warmed up for a while, then crossed the strait, returned to Pinghu first, withdrew a large sum of silver, and rewarded Xu Yuanliang for his subordinates, Xu Yuanliang looked at Yang Zhizhong and Yu Buzhi beside Dongmenqing and said, "Forget it." Dongmen Qing looked back at the two of them with his eyes, and saw that the faces of Yang and Yu were extremely ugly, as if the money was the 'meat' cut off from their bodies, so he smiled and said to Xu Yuanliang: "This is the two misers in our business, even when I use the money, they also have this stinky face, you don't have to pay attention to them!" "It's easy to say it, so Xu Yuanliang accepted the money.

After Xu Yuanliang accepted the money, he pulled the east 'gate' Qing aside and said, "Qingguan, you have to be careful of Wang Qingxi." ”

Dongmenqing was puzzled and asked, "What?" ”

Xu Yuanliang said: "Anyway, be careful, he is actually very helpful to 'Mao' Haifeng." The east 'gate' celebrated, and Xu Yuanliang said again: "Over there, you'd better think harder." If the second boss doesn't like you, then I can't do anything. But as long as the second master does not object, I am willing to help you. ”

The east 'gate' celebrated the joy and said: "There is Yuan Liang you this sentence!" I won't be afraid of anyone in the East China Sea in the future! ”

Xu Yuanliang smiled, lowered his voice by two points, and said, "I heard that there was a strategist by the side of the second master before, and this person seems to have something to do with you, and it seems that he has had a lot of ideas related to you." But then because you didn't come for a long time, those things were put on hold, and then the man disappeared. News of this person, you'd better inquire about it, maybe it will help. ”

Dongmen Qing was a little puzzled when he heard what he said, but when he saw that his expression was solemn, most of them were not lies, so he asked, "What kind of person is that strategist?" What did he come up with? ”

Xu Yuanliang said: "Then I don't know." My status in Goto is not low, but I have never met this person, and I have only heard about everything. But Uncle Bald must know that he treats you well, so maybe you can ask him. ”

Dongmenqing heard him mention Li Guangtou, and suddenly remembered that Li Guangtou had mentioned to him that someone was looking for him, but he refused to reveal who that person was, and when he asked Xu Yuanliang again, he didn't know anything.

After Xu Yuanliang left, Dongmen' Qing sent all his subordinates away, glared at Yang Zhizhong without giving up, and said angrily: "What's the matter with you two!" Actually show the guest's face 'color'! ”

Who knew that the faces of the two were still ugly, and they had no intention of asking guilt at all, and Dongmen' Qing was a little weak when he saw it, so he suppressed his anger and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Yang Zhizhong said without hesitation: "You say! ”

Without saying anything, he took an account book and handed it to the East Gate Qing, let him see it for himself, and the East Gate Qing said: "What are you doing?" After turning a few pages, I didn't see why, so I asked again. Yu Buqi said: "Do you want to hear the simple or the complex?" ”

East 'Gate' Qingdao: "Simple! ”

"That's good." Yu Buzhi said: "In a word, you fought this battle and wiped out our family!" When the debts are paid off, we will have to slip back to Daming! ”

Dongmen' Qing was stunned, before this battle started, he first thought about defeat, and then sought victory, but he didn't take into account the cost of the war at that time! At this time, when Yu Buqi said something serious, he picked up the account book and flipped through it again.

Yang Zhizhong said: "You don't have to turn it over, the chief owner!" If you're worried about the data being wrong, let Anthony do the math! If you're worried that we're getting in the way with the supplies, let Cui Guangnan check it! If you can trust us, then I am a word! Qing Huaxiang - it's over! ”

The east 'gate' Qing was unhappy and said: "Don't say it so seriously! ”

Yang Zhizhong said: "Serious? "Hehe, hey, just sneering.

Dongmenqing closed the account book and said, "You two 'hand' over with me, how much silver do we have left?" ”

"Left?" Yang Zhizhong sneered: "Yes, there is indeed a lot of silver in the warehouse now, but when we were fighting, we advanced a large number of supplies!" Because I was afraid that *** would not be enough, I couldn't help but be blackmailed by Francois and bought a lot of goods! This big money hasn't been paid back yet! If it is paid off, you will know that you have just said it too politely! Slipping back to Daming? I'm afraid we won't be able to go back! Gotta stay here honestly and pay off the debt! ”

Seeing that Yang Zhizhong was angry, Yu Buqi hurriedly persuaded two sentences and said, "Uncle Yang don't do this." He said to the East 'Gate' Qing: "Actually, I have already thought about it, half of our debts can be delayed in a way, so that we can save 15,000 taels of silver as a capital, and work hard in the next few years. ”

The east 'gate' celebrated and said, "Fifteen thousand taels...... That's enough for that! ”

Yu Buci said again: "Also, the original owner of the ship said that when you come back from Wudao, you will hold a beautiful celebration banquet, but now it seems that it is better to cancel, otherwise it will ......."

"No way!" The east 'gate' celebrated: "The celebration banquet cannot be canceled!" ”

Yu Buqi shouted: "Chief Owner, we have no money!" ”

"I know there's no money!" Dong'men Qing said: "But because there is no money, it can't be canceled!" If it is canceled, then our celebration of Huaxiang is really finished! You instructed to go down and let Guoqing and Guangnan make a big deal of this celebration banquet for me! How big is it! People from the business world, people from all walks of life, everyone who can invite me! Brothers with merit, new brothers, also give me a good reward and comfort! ”

Yu Buxi was shocked and said, "If that's the case...... That...... Then I'm afraid we're going to bottom out before we can start paying off our debts! ”

Ignoring his complaints, Higashi' Kei continued: "Also, I heard that there are people in Hirado who sell old ships? ”

Yu Buqi said: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

Dong Men' Qing asked: "How old are those old ships?" Is there a good ship in it? ”

"It doesn't have to be that old." Yu Buzhi said: "Some have even just taken a trip to the East China Sea, which is newer than Fuzhilong. It's just that there are not so many goods when I return to the flight, and the space required is reduced, so I simply sell it here. Yes! Boss, are you supposed to ...... Do you still want to buy a boat? ”

"Hmm." Dongmen' Qingdao: "Go back and tell Wu Ping to let him pick a few good ships!" We have more people, and the fleet has to grow stronger, and there are only a few hundred more people who are thrown in Hirado. ”

Yu Buxi screamed: "But we don't have any money!" ”

Dong'men Qinghu asked: "How many people know about our financial constraints?" ”

Yu Buqi said: "Just the three of us!" It's too late for Anthony to reconcile! "Anthony is the chief accountant, and he will supervise the accounts of Yu Buqi's side after they are completed.

At this time, Dongmen Qing said: "I will go and tell Anthony and ask him to check this account in half a year!" From today onwards, no one is allowed to mention the fact that our business has no money! Whoever mentions me kills whom! ”

Yang Zhizhong glanced at each other without hesitation, and asked together: "Chief Owner, are you going to ...... To borrow money? ”

The east 'gate' celebrated: "Not bad! The trade route of the East China Sea is a million profits! Now we have prestige, trade routes, ships, and people, so to speak, everything is ready, and we only owe silver! As long as you borrow the capital and go down one or two trips, you can quickly fill this hole! So you don't have to worry too much. ”

Yang Zhizhong said: "But are people willing to borrow?" ”

Dongmen' Qing said: "That's why I let you keep it secret!" There is a special way to borrow money, which is called 'borrowing the rich but not the poor'! Hum! This world is full of snobbery, the icing on the cake 'flowers' everyone does, and no one does it in the snow! If we want to borrow money, we have to pretend to be wide! The richer you pretend, the easier it is to borrow money! But...... Do we have enough money in our pockets now? ”

Yu Buci's eyebrows stretched when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I was originally tightening to settle accounts, if you follow your idea of the general owner, some debts don't need to be considered first!" Putting that aside, our firm's current deposit is enough for you to squander for a while. But I've got to give you a heads-up, boss! If you can't borrow money, or if you can't make a profit by borrowing money, then we'll all have to jump into the sea! ”

Dong 'Gate' Qing didn't wait for him to finish, and said, "Don't tell me this!" I'll do it! ”

Yang Zhizhong also smiled and said: "It's hard to say that we have other skills, this is a good job of making something out of nothing and doing business without capital, but you have only seen it twice, and I can see it three times!" I also believe that it will be done! ”

Dongmen Qing laughed and said, "Then you will help me do three major things!" The first is this celebration banquet, which must be held in a beautiful manner! If it's not beautiful, it's not easy to deceive people later! The second thing is to prepare for my journey to the east. ”

The two were puzzled and asked, "Traveling to the East?" ”

"Yes, Journey to the East." Higashi'mon Keido: "It's a walk from Hirado to Hakata, Yamaguchi, Kai, and Kyo!" ”

Yu Buzhi said: "Chief Owner, a trip to Hakata almost killed you - aren't you afraid?" ”

Dongmen' Qing smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I can't help it!" This trip is to make money! There is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, and I have to wade through it! But don't worry, I won't be like last time on this trip to the east, I'll be careful. I guess that in a few days the Ouchi family may send someone to contact me, and then see if he invites us over. If he invites, then we will go, and with great fanfare. Stop at Yamaguchi and walk around the Kai Kai and then go to Kyoto, Japan if possible. This trip down, whether it is a daimyo or a merchant, let alone 'getting' them hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and then go back to Hakata and Hirado, things will be easy to do! ”

Yu Buzhi said: "If you can really 'get' hundreds of thousands of taels of silver back, then what happens on the side of Hirado, you can do what you want!" ”

Dong 'Gate' Qing smiled, Yang Zhizhong asked the third thing, and Dong 'Gate' Qing said: "The third thing has to do with letting Wu Ping buy a boat." I plan to let him set up a detachment after returning to Daming, so the accounts and personnel in it must be gradually dealt with, and we will carry the debts to him...... Hey, what's wrong with you? ”

It turned out that at this time, Yang Zhizhong and Yu Buci's faces were full of surprise, and Yu Buqi said: "Chief Owner, do you want to let Wu Ping stand on his own?" ”

Dongmen' Qing smiled and said, "It's not self-reliance, it's just the establishment of a sub-fleet." ”

Yu Buqi said: "Did Wu Ping propose it to you, the chief owner?" ”

"No, he didn't. But even if he didn't say it, I would have to help him think about it! Dongmen' Qing said: "There are more and more people in our fleet, and if we are crowded together, everyone can't let go of their hands and feet. My initial idea is to let him go to the South Seas in the future, and I will go to the East China Sea. As for whether this will work, and how to divide the interests in the middle, we will talk about it in detail later. Well, by the way, I have to wait until I go back to Daming before I talk to Wu Ping, you just have to take care of things secretly, don't talk about it first. I want to surprise him. ”

When Yu Buqi heard this, his face was 'revealed' with 'glamorous' envy, and the east 'gate' celebrated: "What, you want to too?" Don't worry, work under me, sooner or later. But I still need you to help me with the good things, so I won't let you out so soon. ”

Yu Buxi said happily: "Yes!" If you think so much about us, no matter what you arrange in the future, we will do our best! ”

Yang Zhizhong said: "In addition, there is another thing, that is, the conference that Wudao is currently holding. That's a big deal, boss! Bigger than we expected! ”

Dongmen' Qingdao: "You mean the Donghai Chamber of Commerce?" ”

"Yes!" Yang Zhizhong said: "The chief owner is only going now, but I'm afraid that the meeting is almost over." It's a pity that we Qinghuaxiang missed this opportunity! ”

Dongmen Qingshen "groaned" and said: "That's not necessarily. In fact, if we didn't have this big victory, we couldn't say if we would be able to 'plug' into the venue! On the contrary, now that we have prestige, even if we are not here, those elders should leave me a place! Hum! What a meeting! Those are cutscenes! What should be done, the elders had already agreed before the meeting began! ”
