The next day, Xu Shiyang took a day off and continued to wander around the market with his younger brother and guards.

This time, he ordered 10,000 catties of lead from a Fusang man's merchant house, perhaps because this widow also saw that Xu Shiyang was sent out by the Li family's two big cabinets yesterday, and the Fusang merchant actually promised to send a ship to deliver the goods directly to Rizhao next year.

As soon as he heard that there was such a good thing, Xu Shiyang immediately finalized a batch of 5,000 catties of sulfur.

However, he still stubbornly refused to buy the goods and swords, and the merchant could not get Xu Shiyang to buy copper—precious metals were all bought and sold by the great names, and a small agent like him was not qualified to get involved.

A Pars merchant (not the one who almost got into a fight with Xu Shiyang) tried to sell Xu Shiyang a variety of amorous interracial beauties, and Xu Shiyang smiled and talked to him, promising to buy a few in the future to taste, but definitely not now.

However, Xu Shiyang wanted to buy a few stallions.

The Parsma is probably the best war horse in the world at the moment, and probably not one of them.

Of course, buying stallions is a big political issue in any country, and if there is no strong backstage in Pars, this business will not be able to be done at all, and Xu Shiyang is not sure that the current chamber of commerce can achieve his wish.

Therefore, the contract signed between the two parties was that the merchant house would sell 50 Pars stallions of pure blood and suitable age to Xu Shiyang within five years.

Each horse is worth 10,000 dirhams of silver, but Xu Shiyang will only pay for it after receiving the goods, and it is to pay for one horse.

The Pars people did not want to do this business, smuggling good stallions, and the risk and profit were not proportional at all.

What's more, Xu Shiyang gave a CIF price, and all the risks were borne by the Pars Chamber of Commerce.

But if they don't do it, the captain who had a conflict with Xu Shiyang is the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, Xu Shiyang is a fake tiger, taking advantage of the opportunity for everyone to misunderstand the relationship between Xu and Li, and secretly rubbing and saying that if he does not agree to this contract, he will immediately uproot the Pars forces in Shuangyu Port as revenge.

And if the merchant hall fails to complete the contract within five years, Xu Shiyang will still expel the Pars people from Shuangyu Port.

Although you won't make a lot of money by completing the contract, you will definitely lose a lot of money if you don't complete the contract, and even lose your life, so the Pars people have no choice but to agree to sign this overlord contract.

Coming out of the Pars Merchant House, Xu Shiyang signed a contract from a Han maritime merchant to buy 10,000 catties of salted fish every year.

With these, the Xu family can consume less salt and can also use fish to supplement protein.

In the end, Xu Shiyang spent about 6,000 taels of silver, and only about 5,000 taels of gold and silver were seized from the ship of Dispatch Zhou, and he did not dare to continue to spend money, because he had to go to Jiangnan to buy grain, so he could only choose to return to the ship.

Li Feihu did hand over his courtyard to Xu Shiyang for a temporary stay, but the latter didn't go at all, because the disembarkation time was limited to six hours, and the rules he set himself, if he didn't abide by them, it would be a joke.

The efficiency of the Li family was slightly faster than Xu Shiyang imagined.

On the third day after the last small discussion at the venue, Li Feihu sent two sedan chairs to invite Xu Shiyang for a secret talk.

Xu Shiyang, who was about to visit the market for another day, immediately set off, but he decided to walk by himself on the grounds that military generals were not suitable for sitting in a sedan chair.

Xu Shiliu's reason was that "Confucianism should not replace animals with humans", so everyone walked to the Li family's mansion.

Li Feihu, who was waiting at the door, laughed a few times when he heard about this, and did not delve into it, but he was already convinced in his heart that Xu Shiyang could indeed complete his plan.

Li Feihu personally led the way and took the Xu Shiyang brothers to a room at the back of the mansion.

After entering the door, Xu Shiyang found that this room was not as big as he thought, only Li Feibao, who had met at the venue the day before yesterday, and a strong man sitting at the top.

There is no need to guess, this strong man should be the boss of the Li Group, Li Feilong, who is nearly 50 years old.

This is a strong, middle-aged man with dark skin, and at a glance, he knows that he has a complexion that can only be found after being adrift at sea all year round.

Around his waist hung an ornate sword (Xu Shiyang found that the maritime merchants liked this thing, probably because the enemies in naval battles usually did not wear armor), wearing a wide silk robe, and a square scarf.

This guy has a long beard, and if it weren't for his sword and skin color, he would look more like a scribe...... uh, well, and a scar on his face that goes from his forehead to his chin, and all of that combined is that he really looks like a pirate leader who always wants to recruit him.

In particular, the sharp eyes of the eagle falcon always give people a chill in the neck.

Li Feilong didn't say a word, just stared at Xu Shiyang like that.

Xu Shiyang did not flinch, crossed his arms, stood in place and stared at the eyes of the pirate leader, and looked at him.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little gloomy.

Xu Shiliu unconsciously put his right hand on the handle of the gun on his waist.

"Not bad."

Just when Xu Shiliu was about to lose it anymore, Li Feilong spoke:

"It's really a big thing, and your brother is a little weaker."

"He is a literati, and he takes a different path from a fighting man like you and me."

Xu Shiyang said flatly:

"When he gets into the jinshi, you will see him ten years later."

"That's right, Master Jinshi's pen is better than a hundred of my ships."

Li Feilong nodded and smiled:

"If this little brother can be admitted to the Jinshi, I will give 100,000 yuan as a congratulatory gift with both hands, and there are not many opportunities to be able to tie up the Jinshi master."

"But he's not a jinshi now."

Li Feibao sat on the side, took a puff with a cigarette gun, and then said coldly:

"I think what you told Feihu is too far away. When you can cut off the Grand Canal, or when the Minister of Letters does come back out of the mountain, it's not too late to give you money. ”

And that starts to get straight to the main question? There is enough to go straight to the point.

But this is exactly what Xu Shiyang wants, it is good for everyone to spend less time and save a little time.

"When our plan succeeds in five years, why will we need your materials?" Xu Shiyang smiled confidently: "If the Li family wants to continue to float on the sea like this, then why bother looking for a little brother?" Wouldn't it be good for us to go our separate ways? ”

"It's the first time I've seen such an arrogant kid asking for money."

"No, it's not asking for money, it's a deal." Xu Shiyang interrupted Li Feibao and corrected with a smile: "The Li family paid for two opportunities, one is to double the trade of Liao goods, and the other is Zhao'an. To buy or not to buy, listen to the convenience. ”

"If we don't buy it, you won't cut off the Grand Canal?" Li Feibao shook his head and said, "Since you must cut off the Grand Canal, why should we give you money?" ”

"Who says I have to cut off the Grand Canal?"

Xu Shiyang smiled:

"A war is a war, business is a business, if a merchant can leave me a hundred percent of his goods to buy a road, why should I cut off the Grand Canal? The Li family's ship is often robbed, have you ever cut off the sea trade because of this? ”

"Big shopkeeper, it's just such a thing, in my opinion, it's a deal."

Xu Shiyang no longer paid attention to Li Feibao, and turned directly to Li Feilong and said:

"I don't know if Brother Feihu has told the big shopkeeper that the Li family was not in my map at the beginning, nor was it in my plan, for my Xu family, it doesn't matter if there is support from the Li family, we have the support of the Minister of Literature and a group of virtuous ministers who are worried about the country and the people, and that's enough."

"I joined the Li family in the middle of the plan because I have a similar temper with Brother Feihu, and I also recognize the strength of the Li family, and I feel that joining the Li family can shorten the process of the plan."

"If the so-called Zhao'an of the big shopkeeper is just a game, and you like to invest millions of dollars of wealth every year in the bottomless pit and you can't see any hope of Zhao'an, then just do it."

Xu Shiyang bowed his hand to Li Feilong:

"Farewell!"

Xu Shiyang turned around and left, while secretly counting in his heart:

'One, two, three......'

"Wait!"

'Won. ’
