"Little brother, don't be in such a hurry."

Li Feilong got up from the chair, walked to Xu Shiyang's side, pulled him back with his own hands, and arranged for him to sit down next to Li Feihuang, who had never said a word.

"Even if it's really a business, you have to have a bargain, right?"

"Time doesn't wait for me, although I am young, there are too many facts to do."

"That's the truth."

Li Feilong said with an ugly smile on his face:

"After all, Little Brother Xu has been waiting in Shuangyu for a few days, but it's not that much time, right?"

"As for me, if you have something to say, little brother Xu, don't blame me for being ugly."

Li Feilong looked at Xu Shiyang sitting in the chair, smiled and asked:

"This younger brother of yours is really a disciple of Wen Xianggong?"

"Huh." Next to him, Li Feibao let out a meaningless laugh.

"What does the big shopkeeper mean?"

Xu Shiyang already knew what Li Feilong was going to say, but he must not show cowardice at this time.

"I've heard that a few months ago, this little brother Xu Shiliu had a closed ...... at the Wen family."

Li Feihu and Li Feihuang looked at Xu Shiyang with shocked expressions, as if they were looking at a liar.

"Ugh. No wonder ......" Now it was Xu Shiyang's turn to sneer.

"What's the wonder?" Li Feilong asked with a smile.

"It's no wonder that the big shopkeeper has always wanted to recruit An, spending money like running water, but it has no effect at all."

Xu Shiyang said in a tricky way:

"The big shopkeeper doesn't know anything about the way literati get along."

"The way the literati get along is to let you eat behind closed doors?"

"Hahaha! The big shopkeeper will really amuse. ”

Xu Shiyang laughed and explained:

"My father is a Jinshi in the ninth year of Qingyuan, does the big shopkeeper know what this means?"

Without waiting for Li Feilong to answer, Xu Shiyang said bluntly:

"My father's teacher is the younger brother of Master Wen's brother! Speaking of which, we are also the sons and nephews of the Wen Xiang family! ”

"Huh?" Li Feilong looked confused, can this be regarded as a nephew?

The pirates weren't familiar with Jinshi's circle and their way of communicating, and he really couldn't figure out if the relationship was really as important as Xu Shiyang said.

"But ......, but why ......"

"Why didn't my brother enter the gate of the Wen family last time?"

Xu Shiyang turned his head to Xu Shiliu and said:

"Shiliu, you are also a scribe, can you tell me what you thought at the time?"

Xu Shiliu held his head high and replied arrogantly: "A bunch of rats, I don't care to be in the company of this fang." ”

"Hey, the cleanliness of the literati......

Xu Shiyang pretended to smile bitterly and said:

"You handed over your father's handwritten letter at that time, how could a porter dare to stop you?"

Xu Shiliu still held his head high, looking like you are a martial artist and you don't understand, and I don't bother to answer.

Xu Shiyang gestured to Li Feilong with his eyes:

'Look? ’

"It's hard to understand, isn't it?" He said.

Before coming here to meet Li Feilong, Xu Shiyang felt that the biggest problem in the background he made up was that Xu Shiliu failed to meet Wen Xianggong last time.

So he and Xu Shiliu specially discussed how to answer this question if the Li family raised this question.

The solution that Xu Shiyang came up with was to emphasize that you don't understand the things of the literati, give a seemingly clear and actually vague answer, and let the Li family guess for themselves.

One advantage is that Xu Shiliu doesn't need to be taught at all by putting on this kind of stinky shelf, he himself is a domineering character.

"I'm still the same." Xu Shiyang looked at the pensive Li Feilong and said: "For us, this is just a transaction, if the big shopkeeper is not willing to do it, then say it quickly, we don't owe each other." ”

"Haha, little brother Xu, don't be in such a hurry."

Li Feilong really didn't know much about the literati class represented by Jinshi, but he had met many literati, and he had spent a lot of money to fund academies and literati poetry clubs.

But the way those people looked at him was still a feeling of looking at people, it was a kind of contempt in their bones, as if the money that spent him Li Feilong was looking up to him, and he looked high.

Well, that's right, that's right, it's Xu Shiliu's stinky fart now.

"The brothers can afford me, let me be the big treasurer, I Li Feilong can't spend the ......brothers' money without understanding anything, not to mention that since it is a business, it is also appropriate to ask clearly, right?"

Xu Shiyang looked at Li Feilong, who was constantly playing haha, and didn't say a word.

The most powerful pirate leader in the East Asian seas glanced back at Li Feibao, and the other party gave him a 'look I don't understand'.

"Alas, little brother Xu, what do you think of this?"

Li Feilong advised:

"I think we're doing this business, but I've got to find a way to avoid the risks."

"Please continue." Xu Shiyang looked very interested and listened attentively.

"I won't hide it from you, last year on the Shuangyu side, the profit from the Liao goods trade was around 1.2 million guan, and the two achievements were 240,000 guan."

Li Feilong explained:

"I can give you this amount in my own hands, but I can't give it all at once."

"In this way, the first 120,000 yuan this year, I will give it now, you can purchase materials in Shuangyu, and then I will send a ship to Rizhao Port."

"In exchange, I will send a guard to follow you to Jiangnan, if Wen Xianggong and his old man really accept this little brother Xu as a student - I am talking about Wen Xianggong's own students, not to study in Wen Xianggong's academy, the second batch of materials worth 120,000 yuan this year can be loaded on the ship and sail, how about it?"

A ...... guard, a watcher, right?

"Yes, yes." Xu Shiyang nodded and said: "It's just that since this guard wants to follow me, then what do I want him to do in Jiangnan, as long as it doesn't hurt the interests of the Li family, he has to listen to me." ”

"That's right!"

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation."

"Happy working together!"

Xu Shiyang did not sign a contract with Li Feilong, and the two parties only made a verbal agreement.

One reason is that pirates don't have much psychological pressure to break contracts, and a paper contract is useless at all.

Another reason is that this is fundamentally the political collusion between the independent dock lord in the north and the pirate group, leaving a direct contract, if it is exposed, I am afraid that there will be no good evaluation in the eyes of the Jiangnan literati and gentry.

……

Two hours later, when the Xu family brothers, who had discussed other details with the Li family, left the Li family's compound, it was Li Feihu who came out to see them off.

Along the way, the pirate leader didn't say a word, and it wasn't until the door that he made up his mind and said, "Brother Xu, I believe in you!" ”

"Ah, thank you."

"I'll give you 80,000 guan personally!" Li Feihu gritted his teeth and said, "Every year! ”

"Hehe, I said, this is our business." Xu Shiyang smiled: "I don't want your money in vain, what does Brother Li want?" ”

Li Feihu lowered his voice and said solemnly: "I also want to recruit An!" ”

"Huh? What do you mean? The big shopkeeper Zhao'an, isn't it Brother Li, you also recruit An? ”

"Nope! I mean, I'm going to recruit alone! ”

Xu Shiyang looked at him and quietly waited for an explanation.

"We all have our own soldiers, ships, and money in the big cabinet, and I have all of what my eldest brother has, but he has more than me."

Li Feihu continued:

"He wants an official body, and I want it too! I can't be under him forever! ”

Xu Shiyang smiled and patted Li Feihu's shoulder:

"Brother Li, buy me 80,000 yuan of grain, if you don't do this business, find a gentleman who is willing to do it, the price of grain is a little higher, and send someone to Rizhao Port first."

"Within five years, I will guarantee you a guerrilla of sailors."
