Chapter 196: Tea Tasting and Taoism

"Great Commander, I, Zhou Shiji, have long been your people, as long as you give an order, the grass people dare not disrespect."

Zhou Chuandong is a smart person, he is different from others, he has a unique vision, and he values the strong strength and vitality of the Black Armor Army, so as soon as Yang Wenli's words fell, he actively expressed his position.

"Good! Since Zhou Shipowner looks up to me Yang, Yang will be rewarded. Yang Wenli applauded Zhou Shipowner, who was the first to stand up and express his position.

Not everyone has Zhou Shiji's vision, and some shipowners were afraid that the court would liquidate their crimes of aiding bandits, so they had to move their families to Liaodong, Yang Wenli saw that some people looked restless, so he smiled and said: "Everyone, Yang is not forcing you, everyone has absolute free choice."

Although Yang is brutal to the enemy, I have always been trustworthy and trustworthy, and I have always treated those who are kind to me, and I have always treated them as a benefactor, and my promise to you to fifty acres of Yongye field is still valid, but it can only be fulfilled in the far north, and I ask for your forgiveness.

If you don't want to go to the far north, please give me a ride, I will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and I will send you back to Daming. ”

Yang Wenli's implication is that no matter whether you want to or not, you must also take this trip, and it only takes twenty days to go to Nuergandusi, and a small boat like them with one or two hundred materials, it takes more than a month to go back and forth, and it can earn a thousand taels of silver, which is not bad.

But there are also shipowners who don't dare to earn this gambling money, he has the courage to stand up and speak: "Great Commander, this trip to the far north, you need to go through North Korea and Dongying, which is where pirates are rampant, and when you go, there is a strong army, so you don't need to worry, but when you return, I am afraid that it will be difficult to end well when we wait for a small boat." ”

"Huh! Don't worry, I need so many ships when I go, so I have to ask for your help, to the extreme north, my sailor is of little use, I can arrange a warship to escort you back to Daming safely. Yang Wenli smiled to reassure the shipowner's worries, and at the same time made reassurances to other shipowners.

Yang Wenli's assurance, everyone is no longer worried, and the Black Armor Army really needs so many ships, it is no longer pushable, so no one has any objections.

After the meeting ended, Zhou Chuandong asked Wu Chuandong, who usually chatted: "Brother Wu, don't you want to go to the bitter cold land in the extreme north together?" ”

"Brother Zhou, look at what you said, are you the only one who will recognize the likeness of the master? The Great Commander had already made it clear just now that Da Ming was already terminally ill and blind, but some fools couldn't understand it.

Moreover, I and other businessmen, although they have earned a few hard-earned money, but their status is low, and a random accident is the destruction of the family, anyway, I don't care about the thousand taels of silver. Wu Chuandong ridiculed each other and expressed his own opinion.

"Ahem!" Zhou Shiji coughed to cover up his embarrassment and justified: "Brother Wu misunderstood me Zhou, Zhou just wanted to find a few like-minded people to comment on current affairs and relax his mind." ”

"This is exactly what I want, everyone is going to go to the far north in the near future, I am afraid it will be difficult to have a good time, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, the little brother invites Brother Zhou to go to the cold house to sit, we taste tea and talk about it, wouldn't it be happy!" Wu Chuandong clasped his hands into fists and asked.

"Hahahaha! It is rare to have a confidant, Brother Wu please lead the way, and the younger brother followed. Zhou Shiji smiled at a folding fan, turned around and asked for the walkway.

The end of June is the height of summer, the Ming Dynasty has a bit of status people like to hold a folding fan to pretend to be elegant, Zhou Shiji has always regarded himself as Zhuge reincarnation, and he still likes this tone.

When I first came to Changsheng Island, there were many vacant houses, and Wu Chuandong chose a house with a courtyard of blue bricks and blue tiles to live in, not far from the Commander's Mansion.

There is a pavilion in the courtyard, the two of them are located in the pavilion, Wu Chuandong immediately arranged for someone to serve tea and snacks, he is the master, so he first mentioned the conversation and said: "Brother Zhou, I won't tell you, the younger brother has always seen people with three points, but I have never been able to see through the commander."

We have been following the commander for a year, and I have not seen any grand ambitions from him, and the troops have basically ignored them, but are bent on engaging in those strange and strange coincidences.

It is said that with the strength of the Black Armor Army, as long as they stay on Changsheng Island for two or three years and train the cavalry, they can dominate the world, and destroying the Tartars is just a matter of rebellion.

The Great Commander is going to the Far North, and the younger brother really doesn't see the need? ”

Wu shipowner's name is Wu Sanhe, the word is long and clear, he has been familiar with poetry and books since he was a child, but unfortunately his luck is not good, after years of trials, he has not won the fame of Xiucai, and he has been getting older, so he has to take over the dream of Jinshi and the first, and has to take over his old father and hang up the boat to do business.

But he is different from ordinary businessmen, he has a high spirit, his vision is also broad, and he often promises himself with Zhou Gong's prudence, and Zhou Shiji is half a catty to eight taels, so the two of them cherish each other, and often say goodbye to each other.

Although he, like Zhou Shiji, was optimistic about the Black Armor Army, he disagreed with the avoidance of the extreme north this time, so he pointed out this matter straight to the point.

After hearing this, Zhou Shiji put away the folding fan, tapped it in the palm of his hand, and replied seriously: "Brother Zhou, I think that the great commander's move is a stroke of genius, we can't look at the problem one-sidedly, we must consider it from the entire Ming situation."

Today's Ming Dynasty is still bright, far from the time when the heroes are competing for the deer, our black armor army is precisely because of its strong combat power, so it has fallen into the sight of today's saints, this is a blessing or a curse, and we are waiting to avoid the extreme north is a wonderful move to retreat.

In addition, Changsheng Island is a place of four wars, with the Ming Dynasty on the left and Jiannu on the right, and the lack of resources and sparse population, it is not a place to start a business.

I don't know what the advantages of the Far North are for the time being, but I think that with the talent of the Great Commander, there must be something to be ashamed of if he does not do such a reckless act.

Also, I don't know if you found it, Brother Wu? The soldiers of my black armor army are all born with tigers and bears, and it is extremely difficult to replenish such tigers and wolves.

I have heard that in the far north, there are uncivilized wild Jurchens, who do not know how to farm, and who are only fishing and hunting people, and they are all fierce and strong, and they are the best soldiers of my Black Armor Army.

These are just a few bad opinions of the younger brother, and I also ask Brother Wu for some advice. ”

After Zhou Shiji finished speaking, Wu Sanhe got up and bowed and said, "Brother Zhou is high, and the younger brother has been taught." ”

Zhou Shiji was flattered, and hurriedly got up to help each other and said, "Hey! Brother Wu's courtesy is heavy, Zhou has a few shallow views, how can he be such a big gift, we advocate for our own opinions, correct each other, and be elegant. ”

"What Brother Zhou said is good, but we are idlers after all, even if we have some benefits, if we don't enter the ears of the great commander, it will be useless."

"Hahaha! Didn't Brother Wu hear what the Great Commander said just now? This is the time to establish a formal regime, as long as we dare to do things, and the commander does not need to wait for us, will we reuse those traitor scholars? ”

"It's Wu who is in love, but it makes Brother Zhou smile, I use tea instead of wine, and I punish myself with three cups as a tribute!"

"Hahahaha......" Zhou Shiji laughed heartily.
