This time, Lu Yuan had already sent someone to contact the Zheng Group in advance, and then he was ready to secretly go to Nanjing to reach a final agreement with Zheng Sen.

After all, this negotiation involves not only business exchanges, but also future cooperation at sea.

Lu Yuan knew that if he wanted to develop a maritime power in the future, he would not be able to bypass the Zheng family.

Because the Zheng family is now the overlord of the sea.

Basically, any maritime power that wanted to challenge the Zheng family's maritime status had been wiped out by the Zheng clan one after another.

Lu Yuan can only cooperate with the Zheng Group first to carry out his own obscene development.

And the Zheng Group is also because it also knows that Lu Yuan's current power is not to be underestimated, and he can fight against Jiannu, and he almost monopolizes all the sources of the most popular overseas products of his Zheng Group.

What's more, the Zheng group is strong at sea, and it can't eliminate Lu Yuan on land, and Lu Yuan is still an official of the imperial court on the bright side.

Therefore, all the two can do now is cooperate with each other and use each other.

Lu Yuan knew that it was impossible for him to monopolize Haili now, so he could only give a piece of the Zheng group, but he didn't want to give another piece of the pie to the gentry.

And Zheng thinks the same way.

So, the negotiation hit it off.

But Lu Yuan could only go to Nanjing secretly, after all, he was now also a general of the imperial court, so he naturally couldn't leave the camp at will without an order, and he could only go to Jiangnan secretly, and he only took these five people with him to go south in the name of merchants

this day.

Lu Yuan officially boarded the ship from Linqing City and headed south accompanied by Zhang Jiajun and Mingkun.

In addition, Li Zhishan also went south with Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan needs someone who can be his financial audit adviser, and by the way, he will also serve himself.

And Li Zhishan obviously has this ability.

Lu Yuan has already discovered this through contact these days.

"Seasick?"

Lu Yuan asked Li Zhishan, who was standing in the cabin.

Li Zhishan was wearing a green tulle skirt at this time, and she looked more and more delicate, looking at Lu Yuan with tender eyes, and then bowed: "Go back to the official, the slave and maid don't get seasick." ”

Lu Yuan smiled and took Li Zhishan into his arms, and said, "These days, your young grandmother is not around, and now there is nothing to do in the cabin, you should know what will happen to you next, are you willing?" ”

Lu Yuan picked up the teacup as he spoke, and drank: "You can refuse!" ”

Li Zhishan glanced at Lu Yuan, she knew that if she wanted to truly become a person in power in the mighty army, it was necessary to take this step.

What's more, Li Zhishan these days, it can even be said that in this life, the only person who can see a man who is worthy of her trust for life is Lu Yuan in front of her.

Thereupon.

Li Zhishan didn't speak, just walked to the side of the bed silently, and then lay down: "The slave won't, but the slave and the maid know, please give the official the grace of rain and dew!" ”

Lu Yuan's boat rippled on the Grand Canal, swaying slightly.

Five spies were guarded outside the cabin like a door god.

And Lu Yuan was able to spend a leisurely journey safely.

Li Zhishan snuggled in Lu Yuan's arms: "From now on, the slave and maid are really just the official's people." ”

"Become my person, it will naturally make you ambitious in this life, you should know what I went to Nanjing for this time, and tell me, if you are a gentry in Jiangnan, will you just let this official do business with the Zheng Group?"

Lu Yuan asked.

"Back to the official, the slave feels that the official does not have to go to Nanjing in person, because the official must be more auspicious than us, the Zheng Group is not as good as our mighty army, the internal organization is strict, and I heard that this Zheng Sen is also a student of Qian Qianyi, a famous eunuch in Jiangnan, it can be seen that the Zheng Group and the gentry have been cooperating for many years, and they have long been closely related, and now the Zheng Group wants to put aside the hands of the gentry and cooperate directly with our mighty army for huge profits, but I am afraid that these gentry have already learned about it! And people do everything in front of Li, even if this Zheng Sen Zheng Gongzi is a student of Qian Qianyi, I am afraid that he will not escape death!

And although the Zheng group is invincible on the sea, it can't do anything to the gentry on land, even if Zheng Sen and Zheng Gongzi are really killed, the Zheng group doesn't dare to do anything to the gentry, and even has to cooperate with them in order to make money;

And although our mighty army is already quite powerful, it is not much larger in the end, and all of this needs to be maintained by you, the official, once you have a bad pool, the future of the mighty army may be unpredictable. ”

Li Zhishan glanced at Lu Yuan as she spoke.

Lu Yuan also glanced at Li Zhishan and smiled, he naturally knew that going to Nanjing this time might be more auspicious, but he had to go, because the Zheng group did not dare to have a particularly big determination, only if he went, the Zheng side would see sincerity.

As for the danger, Lu Yuan also knew it, but he was not afraid of this danger, after all, once he reached a cooperation with the Zheng Group, the mighty army could earn millions of taels of silver every year in the future, which was enough to support him to expand a larger scale of the mighty army in the future.

Therefore, Lu Yuan didn't say anything more, but said: "Why are you still so young here with the second girl and the young grandmother." ”

Li Zhishan laughed a little and asked, "The official likes big ones?" ”

"It's better to be different, the women of this official can't all be the same style," Lu Yuan said.

Li Zhishan said: "The official must not have spoiled Sister Erniu, Sister Erniu is actually not small. ”

"Really?"

Lu Yuan said a word, and said: "In the future, you will call this official a son, and you don't have to call an official!" ”

"Yes!"

Li Zhishan smiled sweetly, she knew that this meant that she had also become the most trusted person of her own official.

At one time, when he was about to arrive in Nanjing, Lu Yuan called Zhang Jiajun: "Send someone to inform the people of the Zheng Group, and say that we have arrived!" ”

Zhang Jiajun nodded.

At the same time, Lu Yuan called Li Yuhua over: "You personally go to Nanjing to step on the spot and change the place of stay from now on!" You don't have to go to Lai'an Inn to rest again. ”

Li Yuhua also took the order to go out.

So, on the day he arrived in Nanjing, Lu Yuan did not stay in the inn originally arranged, but suddenly stayed in another inn.

……

At this time.

"Master, our people didn't find anyone from the mighty army at the Lai'an Inn, they seem to have changed places."

In the courtyard of a deep house, one person replied to another old man in brocade clothes.

The old man in brocade clothes flashed with surprise in his eyes, and sneered: "This Lu Yuan is very cunning!" Let's keep an eye on the people on Zheng's side, the old man doesn't believe that he won't meet Zheng Sen! ”

"Yes!"

The man said this and withdrew.

"Master, do you really want to get rid of Lu Yuan? However, Xue Ge Lao said, let's not be an enemy of the mighty army for the time being, saying that this Lu Yuan is not an easy person to deal with, once he escapes this time, we will definitely suffer a lot in the future. ”

At this time, a person behind the old man in brocade clothes asked.

"A martial artist, what's so hard to deal with, not to mention that this time the old man didn't want him to leave Nanjing alive! There is also that Zheng family son, who wants to swallow Haili alone, no way! ”

The old man in brocade said coldly.
