"Forget it, everyone who comes and goes is a guest, and if you earn less, you will also be money."

Li Feihuang thought of the investment theory that Li Feihu told her before, and decided to try to invest in this Jiangbei soil bun to see, maybe there will be any surprises in the future?

"In terms of food, you still have to go to Lin'an to find those big families, and our grain is also bought from them."

The female pirate leader said to Xu Shiyang:

"We need good steel to fight wars, I can understand that, but we also need those things, so we can't give you too much."

"I can provide 1,000 catties of Sugang here, 3,000 catties of pig iron and wrought iron, and I will charge you a total of 2,000 taels ......."

Li Feihuang glanced at Xu Shiyang, who shook his head, and explained lightly:

"Don't be too expensive, Da Zhou strictly forbids iron to go to sea, without me, you can't get that lot of good steel and good iron."

"I'm not an outsider, my family has also been a jinshi, and my younger brother is also going to study under the Wenxiang Gong this time."

Xu Shiyang quibbled painfully:

"I buy steel, which is no different from other people in Dazhou buying steel, and it can't be regarded as iron going to sea."

"I won't bargain with you, you can go to Lin'an to have a look, if your crooked reasoning can be said to be a big dealer, I will be happy to give them the business."

Li Feihuang smiled:

"Maybe you can convince them to give you some armor for free."

I have to admit that it is really difficult.

Now that the imperial court is in power, I dare not say all of it, but there is no problem at all in saying that Bacheng is a surrender faction, and the Great Zhou court no longer regards Jiangbei as its own land.

It must be even more difficult to get the armament supplement from these cowards. Xu Shiyang's biggest hope for this sponsorship operation was actually to get some food and cloth supplies from the main battle faction that had already gone to the opposition, which was not so stimulating to those in power.

For Xu Shiyang, it is already a surprise to be able to buy contraband such as steel with money, and in the case that the Xu family's own steel industry has not yet entered the right track, and can only rely on purchase and seizure to get by, Xu Shiyang should have taken it directly when he encountered this opportunity.

However, the price demanded by the Li family was too high, Xu Shiyang only had that money, and the price of iron was high, so he could only reduce grain procurement.

"You are really ......, alas, two thousand taels of business, what is there to hesitate about?"

Li Feihuang sighed helplessly:

"You just said that the visitor didn't refuse or something, you don't refuse?"

"That's it, my seventh uncle has a banquet tonight, inviting the main merchants of Shuangyu Port and a few strong cabinets, if you are interested, let's take a look."

"When the time comes, you can negotiate whatever you want to buy there, the price is negotiable, and you have time to make up your mind. How is it? Interested? ”

Listening to this meaning, it is a bit like the economic and trade fair of Shuangyu Port?

It's really worth a look.

"Then I'll be respectful and obey." Xu Shiyang replied, "I will definitely arrive on time." ”

……

Li Feihu's banquet began in the evening, and the Li family was responsible for everyone's safety, so it was clear that all merchants and pirates attending the meeting were only allowed to bring two retinues.

Xu Shiyang played a trick, in addition to himself, he counted Xu Shiliu as a guest at the banquet, so that the two brothers could bring four retinues.

However, Zhao Lin is now acting as a half secretary, and Luo Haigou's main role is actually a tour guide, so the real guards are only Lu Zhishen and Pu Luhun, which is not a violation for the Li family.

When Xu Shiyang arrived at the venue, there were already a lot of people gathered here, looking at the race, the maritime merchants from all over the world who could sail around had arrived, and there were even a few Far West red hairs who were shouting.

That Pars maritime merchant was also among them, but he had suffered a loss once, and after glaring at Xu Shiyang viciously, he turned his head and ignored him.

Maybe it's because the pirates don't have so many rules, or maybe it's because the Li group is deeply influenced by foreign culture, so this banquet is actually a buffet.

A large amount of seafood is placed on a huge long table, and a waitress brings a variety of fish from the back kitchen.

People who eat by the sea will probably be very satisfied with the dishes of this banquet, but Xu Shiyang will never touch any raw food except fruits, and he will not allow his subordinates to eat those sashimi, everyone went around the table and found some snacks and cooked meat and vegetables, which can be regarded as a pleasant meal.

"If only I had a meal of dog meat." Lu Zhishen smashed his mouth and sighed helplessly.

"I still prefer lamb." Proudhun whispered his opinion.

Hearing this, Zhao Lin glanced at him coldly, and didn't say a word, but he scared this strong tartar so much that he couldn't stop shaking.

Proudhun had already formed a certain reflexive fear of Zhao Lin.

When Xu Shiyang felt that he was about to eat enough, Li Feihu was late, and he was very insincere to the people present, leaving a few words of the scene, and soon disappeared.

Xu Shiyang keenly found that there were also a few small cabinets that looked like big businessmen or relatively strong ones that disappeared along with them.

"Young Master Xu." A housekeeper-like person came to Xu Shiyang's side and whispered, "Dare to ask if you are the young master of the Xu family from Juzhou?" ”

"I am." Xu Shiyang nodded.

"Please come here, my master is waiting for the adults in the small room."

"Hey, there's a separate feast." Xu Shiyang smiled: "Please lead the way." ”

This Li Feihu's style really has a bit of a combination of things.

Xu Shiyang walked through the crowd and found that the surrounding maritime merchants and small cabinets were all looking at Xu Shi, who was qualified to participate in the secret conversation in the hut, with a mixture of envy and jealousy.

There is a clear hierarchy, but the bond between the superiors and subordinates is not close, it is more of an alliance. ’

This is Xu Shiyang's current evaluation of the Li Group.

Speaking of which, it is indeed very similar to some family group enterprises in later generations.

Xu Shiyang came to a closed small door, there were two pirates with fierce expressions at the door, Xu Shiyang obediently asked the other party to take away his waist knife, but they didn't know that the two pistols were also weapons, the two pirates looked at the pistols and hesitated for a long time, and finally felt that the people who could enter this door were all big people with heads and faces, and they needed to offend as little as possible, so they didn't take them away.

Of course, Lu Zhishen, Pu Luhun and Luo Haigou were also stopped - guards are not allowed to enter here, and they are not allowed to enter without arming, and Luo Haigou is because of his lack of identity.

However, after Zhao Lin put down his ribs, he was allowed in, probably because the pirates didn't think that this little woman could threaten anyone.

Unlike the bustling crowd in the hall outside, there were only a dozen people in the so-called "hut", including Li Feihu and Li Feihuang of the Li Group, as well as another guy named Li Feibao.

The others were the general representatives of various countries or forces, Xu Shiyang glanced around, and found that he could enter this room, probably as a representative of the Jiangbei Wubao main group.
