Chapter 117 Maritime Merchants

Since coming to this world, Li Zhe has made up his mind that he will never be arrogant and arrogant, and he is alone in this world, and Li Zhe has secrets that this world cannot imagine in his heart. He didn't want to accidentally fall on a villain like Lu Xuan.

Although the county lord didn't say much, but at first glance, when he heard that Lu Xuan was made like that by him before, he could still turn over, then I am afraid that it will inevitably pose a threat to Li Zhe in the future, the tiger is harmful to people's hearts, and people also have the intention of hurting the tiger, if someone asks Li Zhe what he has gained from going to the battlefield this time, as a person, then Li Zhe will tell him that since he is used to seeing thousands of lives on the battlefield all die in his hands, he has no fear of life in his heart.

There are mountains of corpses on the battlefield, and Li Zhe has experienced such a terrible tragedy, so what obstacle is there for him to return to the city now and kill a person?

Lu Xuan dared to come to him, it was better, even if Lu Xuan didn't come to him, he couldn't forget the grievances between each other.

Seeing Li Zhe's face at this time, the county lord immediately knew Li Zhe's intentions, but there was no dissuasion.

Killing people outright may be considered too brutal by some, but in some cases, it may be the most effective means.

"I heard, you know a person named Huang Lixing?"

The county lord asked again,

"Yes," Li Zhe thought for a while, and replied in his mouth, "It was Brother Fang Jueyuan who brought me to know, he is the backroom owner of Brother Fang Jueyuan, the boss behind Mengzhou Daily, who came to buy a gun from my workshop that time, and immediately gave 10,000 yuan and set a thousand pieces of money, I heard that the person was specially engaged in slave trading from Yanzhou, hey!" Sure enough, I had long heard that these slave traders were rich, but I didn't expect that it was really a lot of money, and it was really bluffing! ”

Li Zhe replied disappreciatively.

Seeing that he answered lightly, the county lord was dissatisfied and said:

"But aren't you also a wealthy gold lord now, don't you know when you are a human being? If it weren't for the reputation of your Li Clan's Fire Hammer and the prosperity of the workshop, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been targeted so easily. ”

"Oh, eyed? Hehe, it's okay, I'm leaving anyway, and there's a mess left for people, so let them take it. ”

"Hey, you!"

The county lord couldn't stand Li Zhe's lazy appearance the most, but he didn't have the slightest hatred for this life.

She also knows that the workshop in Li Zhe's hand is extremely important, but unfortunately she can't help with the current situation, in fact, this is also the reason why she agrees with Li Zhe going to sea.

Although that small workshop is not big, it is biased to hold the production method of Li's firecracker, and Li's firearm has already spread at home and abroad after the trial in the Northern Expeditionary Army, and countless orders have come one after another, even if Li Zhe has previously chosen to cooperate with the gun factory of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is still a cornucopia.

How is it possible not to be mouthwatering?

The county lord said again:

"If you have the opportunity, you might as well try to make friends with that Huang Lixing, maybe it will be useful."

When Li Zhe heard this, he was surprised,

"Oh, it works?"

The lord replied,

"Yes, it works," paused for a moment of contemplation, before a deep voice said again:

"This time these princes are in chaos, there is the shadow of these people behind them, if it weren't for the support of these people, my brothers wouldn't have such courage, that Huang Lixing, who also caught up with my fourth brother through someone before, the fourth prince Zhao Shijiao."

"Oh," Li Zhe was even more surprised, "then according to what you say, isn't this Huang Lixing your enemy of mine, could it be that some time ago, the firearm he bought from me was actually used for the rebellious army?" And those private armies that marched that day were the privateers under the hands of these merchants? ”

The county lord nodded slowly, his eyes extremely determined.

Hey!

Li Zhedeng regretted it, how could he have imagined that these businessmen would be so bold!

The slave traders specialize in absorbing all kinds of criminals, vagabonds, mercenaries of various ethnic groups in Southeast Asia, and wandering warriors outside Dongying, who are all such people, so they are also called privateer armies, active in the jungle of the Great Song Dynasty colonies all day long, slaughtering and exterminating the tribes at every turn, plundering those indigenous people as slaves, which can be described as bloody, and the worst people in the overseas colonial private army.

Several princes actually colluded with such people, no wonder those private troops dared to enter the city to attack the palace that day, and they had no reverence for the royal majesty of the Great Song Dynasty for hundreds of years.

These slave traders and maritime merchants were so bold that they simply turned a blind eye to the centuries-old tradition of the Great Song Dynasty's succession of thrones, and did not have the slightest taboo about the consequences arising from it.

Over the past few hundred years, there have been internal turmoil in the Great Song Dynasty, but the overall rules are still in the hands of the royal family and the feudal nobles. And this time, the maritime merchants, the princes supported by the slave traders, are like pure intruders, and they want to challenge the traditional order maintained by the nobles, and I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will be really troublesome.

"Then why do we befriend him again? You want me to be a mole? ”

"What a mole!" Li Zhe's unbridled mouth made the county lord almost jump up in anger, "How can I make you go to be a traitor!" Nothing. ”

"And are you really loyal to my brothers when these maritime merchants are these? It's just a matter of interests, those conditions that my brothers can agree to them, of course we can also agree, the left and right are just a few businessmen, just lure them with profits, and when the time comes, the big thing is achieved, I will regret it, can they not do it. ”

In the words of the county lord, there is still a contempt for these maritime merchants, which is normal, originally, this maritime merchants, after all, are all merchants, in the deep-rooted tradition of the Great Song Dynasty, they are still at the bottom of the social chain, these emerging maritime merchants, originally most of them were born children from various noble families, and many of them are still inseparable from the control of the lord's family.

The ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty was originally that only nobles could do business, and the children of these noble families were slaves and maids for generations, operating overseas business for various nobles. Ancestors have been like this for generations, and they have made great contributions to finally have the qualification of an independent portal.

How could such a background be respected by the nobles.

Although the county lord himself is also intelligent, he is also a member of the aristocratic class after all, and his vision and knowledge are limited by the class.

I can't imagine that in the past few hundred years of the Great Song Dynasty, the maritime trade has flourished, and how much power these maritime merchants have gathered.

Li Zhe only needed to hear the county lord's tone, and he knew that it was bad, and with such an attitude, the county lord was afraid that it would be impossible for the county lord to get support from the maritime merchants.

No matter how smart the county lord is, I'm afraid he can't think of the history that may happen in the future.

As a traverser, after hearing these news from the county lord, his mind was like lightning.

In the Age of Discovery, overseas colonization, the rise of the maritime class, began to seize their power under the sun!

This series of fragments in history instantly made Li Zhe think clearly about the cause and effect, and the boring words that he had learned in history textbooks in later generations were about to appear alive in front of his eyes now?
