Chapter 169: Divergent Opinions

Cui Daoshu nodded, "Brother is right, I have one more thing to report to you." ”

"Don't be so serious, just say something."

"Brother, I received a letter from Cao Deshun in Mingzhou, saying that Wang Mingjun had transported a group of displaced people to Jinling, and the number was about 1,500. Cao Deshun built a temporary camp outside Jinling to temporarily resettle displaced people. ”

"That's a good thing! It seems that Wang Mingjun and Cao Deshun have a very strong execution. In such a short period of time, more than 1,000 homeless people were obtained. ”

"Brother, Cao Deshun said in the letter that he and Wang Mingjun want to bring the displaced people to Mingzhou and want to meet you."

"Oh? Cao Deshun wants to see us? What does he mean by that? ”

"Brother, I've analyzed it, Cao Deshun and Wang Mingjun must want to know where we got the salt. Also want to know where our turf is. They're trying to get to the bottom of us. ”

Zhao Zi thought about it again and said, "This is normal, after all, our transaction with them is very important. As cautious businessmen, they are sure to keep their risks to a minimum. So they will definitely find a way to find out our strength and decide how hard to cooperate with us. ”

"And how do we answer them?"

"That's it, in the evening, you, I'll discuss it with Lao Wei and Na Zhe to see what to do."

Zhao Zizhong stared at Cui Daoshu with a smile, "Tell me, is there something to hide from the brothers?" ”

Cui Dao didn't know why, "Brother, what do you mean by this?" I don't have anything to hide, huh? ”

"No, you haven't said anything about Wei Hongye and your sister."

Cui Daoshu was puzzled, how did his brother know? Is it difficult for the mother to leak the news? Or did your wife say it?

Zhao Zizhong said: "Don't think about it, it's Qi Jiuniang and Wei Hongye who said it. ”

Cui Daoshu suddenly realized, Qi Jiuniang is a person who can't hide things in her heart, why didn't I pay attention to her!

Zhao Zizhong smiled and said, "You should tell me directly, I am very much in favor of this marriage." Wei Hongye is not too young, and he should get married. ”

"Brother, what does the second brother think? Does he like Ah Mei? ”

Wei Hongye said that he used to treat Ah Mei as his own sister, and he never thought about men and women. However, he will try to get along with Ah Mei and date for a while first. I reckon there should be no problem. ”

Cui Daoshu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, brother, you're scared to death for me!" Don't scare people like that. ”

Zhao Zizhong continued: "I went to your mother's place today to teach the old lady to practice tai chi. Wei Hongye and Ah Mei are both practicing with the old lady, how did I create this opportunity? ”

Cui Daoshu gave a thumbs up: "High, really high." It is a large block taller than Mount Tai. ”

"Daoshu, you can also practice together, I see that your face has not been very good. You're out there all the time, so you have to pay attention to your body! ”

Cui Daoshu nodded, "Okay, I'll practice with them tomorrow, and then call my wife and Qi Jiuniang." ”

"There is also good news, Xia Rongniang is pregnant. Da Lang doesn't know yet. ”

"When did it happen? That's great! Cui Daoshu was very excited. This is our brother's first child! Celebrate. ”

"When Da Lang returns, we will have a good drink and celebrate our first offspring."

Cui Daoshu was a little gloomy immediately: "Brother, it seems that I have no hope in this life." Shen never got pregnant, and he married me three more concubines, but it was still useless. It seems that my body is too weak. ”

"Isn't there still Qi Jiuniang? Don't be discouraged, let's figure it out together. You must first pay attention to exercising, improve your physical fitness, maybe one day you will succeed? ”

Cui Daoshu smiled bitterly and said, "I hope, to be honest, I have given up hope a long time ago." If you still don't succeed after a few years, I will choose one of your children and inherit my family business. ”

Zhao Zizhong laughed, "I have a way, if Wei Hongye marries Ah Mei, their child will be your nephew." When the time comes, you let your nephew inherit the family business, won't it be over? ”

Cui Daoshu slapped his thigh, "It makes sense, why didn't I think of it!" Ah Mei and the second brother's children are no different from my own flesh and blood. Thank you, brother. ”

"It's called 'the authorities are confused, the bystanders are clear'. Let's go and eat together. ”

After dinner, the four brothers came to the conference room, and Cui Daoshu told him what had happened, and everyone thought about it.

Wei Hongye first said: "We can't let them come to Qishan Island, we have too many secrets. What if they see these advanced production methods and technologies and have bad intentions? The heart is separated from the belly! ”

"Lao Wei is right, you can't just let outsiders come here." Na Zhe echoed.

Cui Daoshu asked Zhao Zizhong again: "Brother, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Zizhong said solemnly: "I have a different opinion, Cao Deshun and Wang Mingjun are both shrewd businessmen. If we hide it, they will be suspicious of us. I want them to come here and have a choice for them to see something. It can not only show our strength, but also deter them from acting rashly. ”

Wei Hongye hurriedly said, "Lao Zhao, I don't agree. If they have evil intentions and collude with some forces to attack us, it will be bad. After all, these two people are rich and powerful, and they are not ordinary businessmen. ”

"Yes, yes, Lao Wei and I are of the same opinion. Be careful. Na Zhe said.

Zhao Zizhong looked at Cui Daoshu: "Daoshu, what do you think?" Say it, let's hear it. ”

Cui Daoshu opened his mouth and said: "My initial idea was similar to that of the second brother, but then I thought about it for a long time and felt that the boss's idea was correct. I am also a businessman, and from the perspective of a businessman, any business should avoid risks as much as possible and maximize profits. It is very normal for Cao Deshun and Wang Mingjun to want to get to the bottom of us. If we don't let them come here, it means that we are a little weak and not a strong partner. They will lower their opinion of us and reduce their dealings with us. So I agree with the boss's approach. ”

Wei Hongye said with a solemn face: "I still reserve my opinion, and I can't just let outsiders come here." ”

Zhao Zizhong persuaded: "Old Wei, I think so, let Cao Deshun and Wang Mingjun come here, and we will show them strong force." Pull the ship out and fire bolts from bed crossbows and ballistas, explode clay pots, and get freshly made*. It will definitely scare them out of the way, and they won't dare to act rashly. ”

Na Zhe asked, "Boss, * got it out?" How can it be so fast? ”

"It's not too difficult, put the whale oil in the clay pot and seal it. A strip of cloth is then drawn out of the seal, lit and fired with a ballista. It's that simple. ”

"How's the power?"

"What I didn't say can be said to be very cruel. If it succeeds in hitting the ship, it doesn't take too much, I estimate that a few shots* will burn a large ship. ”

The brothers were very happy and added another big killing weapon.

Na Zhe suggested: "We can also let them see the whales we catch, it will definitely frighten them." ”

Everyone thought that this method was good, and Wei Hongye thought about it and said: "We must not let them visit the workshops on the island, this is our bottom line." ”

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically, "You're right, the workshop can't let them in." ”

"What about Yantian? When they come by boat, they will definitely see it. ”

Cui Daoshu said: "Yantian can let them see, this secret can't be kept." Cao Deshun and Wang Mingjun's forces were both inland, and even if they knew how to dry salt, they could not do anything. ”

Na Zhe asked, "What if they were looking for a place to dry salt by the sea?" ”

Zhao Zi laughed again, "Do you think our warship is an ornament?" If they were drying salt on the seashore, as soon as we knew about it, we would send warships to visit their salt works on the seashore and leave them with nothing to lose! ”

Everyone laughed, and Cui Daoshu immediately wrote a letter, inviting Cao Deshun and Wang Mingjun to come to Mingzhou and let them settle down in the Cui family's mansion in Mingzhou City.

Na Zhe said to Zhao Zizhong: "Boss, I had a great time playing football yesterday and want to promote football in the school, what do you think?" ”

Wei Hongye also said: "I played for a while yesterday, and my addiction was also hooked out. I think kids can play football. ”

Zhao Zizhong said: "Not only the academy, but also to promote football in the escort team. It can cultivate the team spirit and cooperation spirit of the team members. Let everyone be more united and become an unbreakable whole. ”

Cui Daoshu said with a smile: "Brother, I think we can also promote rugby in the escort team." The animals of the convoy are well suited to this sport. ”

"You're right, you can get them to play rugby. This sport is similar to skirmishes in that it fosters cooperation between players and makes them more connected. It also makes them more fierce and fearless. ”

Na Zhe said again: "Lao Wei, do you think you can make badminton?" If they can make it, those women will have a sport to play. ”

Wei Hongye thought about it and said: "It should be possible, use cork to make the head of the shuttlecock, and the feathers will go to the poultry farm to ask for some." I'll let the craftsman try it. ”

Cui Daoshu teased Na Zhe: "I said third brother, you really deserve to be a friend of women!" Just thinking about the girls in the school. ”

Na Zhe retorted: "You can also play badminton." Your body is too weak to play badminton. We strong brutes are going to play football. Didn't anyone say that? 'Football is a man's sport', you should accompany Qi Jiuniang to play badminton. ”

Everyone laughed, and Cui Daoshu shook his head helplessly, "My body is really not angry." Let's practice Tai Chi first. Boss, tomorrow morning, you're going to teach me. I'm sure I'm serious about it. ”
