That night, Zhang Xuwen and Li Pingyi got up and went to the Shizhai area built by Yan Siqi and others, and it was indeed a large village, which was built very messily, extending from the inland to the sea, and there was a big river on the edge of Shizhai, and it was very convenient to divert water. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shizhai is not only Yan Siqi's territory, but also Li Dan's manpower, at least nearly half of which are Li Dan's people, ships, manpower, warehouses, and a lot of wealth is stored inside.

Li Dan is an old Jianghu and knows that wealth cannot be exposed, so he does not dare to put all his wealth in Pinghu, but leaves a considerable amount of wealth in Taiwan.

"That storehouse," Li Pingzhi pointed to a large area of dark houses and said, "It should be where Li Dan put his things." Zhang Xuwen muttered: "There may be hundreds of thousands or even millions of gold and silver, and the rest of the items are worth hundreds of thousands, to say the least. ”

Li Pingzhi looked at Zhang Xuwen and suddenly said, "This silver can't be taken like this." ”

"That's right." Zhang Xuwen said: "If it is easy to take, Chang Zhengshi is not a good man and a woman, he burned hundreds of thousands of goods in the grassland, breaking the thoughts of the Mongols, if there is a trace of possibility, he would have taken these goods a long time ago." ”

"In terms of force, Yan Siqi is definitely not an opponent, so what are you afraid of?"

"It should be an ally who is scruples in Hirado, Li Dan is not dead yet, let's fight the idea of his inheritance, and we have to fight for allies, what does Li Guozhu think? If we really do this, we will not talk about the trade of the Japanese Kingdom in the future, and we will completely push Li Guozhu to the side of the Dutch. For the sake of this silver, it is certainly not worth it. ”

"But if Yan Siqi doesn't go, we won't get manpower, and Bengang is still mixed, and we can't let go."

"And the Dutch, always a hidden scourge......"

"Damn, Taiwan's affairs are really difficult."

"It's no wonder that spending so much money has not improved, and it is indeed difficult. A ship is more than 100,000 yuan, and now the military division has smashed more than 1 million, which is enough to raise several regiments of soldiers in Datong, so it is enough to build a few ships? It's rare to have the scale we have now. “

"There are soldiers here but they can't be used, there is no strength on the sea, and I don't dare to turn my face with the red hair!"

The more the two young people talked, the faster they spoke, although they only had a superficial understanding of Taiwan before that, but after Zheng Zhilong's make-up classes along the way, and what they had seen with their own eyes, they had almost thought very clearly and thoroughly about the important points in the embarrassing situation on Taiwan's side.

"If you solve Yan Siqi's ......" Li Pingzhi pondered: "The vast sea, unlimited business opportunities, not necessarily really do your own business, make money in serious trade, this sea, it is not an exaggeration to say, it is really full of gold and silver, and it is a hundred times easier than our Datong side, those old hats in Zhangjiakou, take advantage of a horse market and think that they are a golden treasure, but they don't know that compared to this side, it is really far away." ”

"That's right."

The two were talking lively, and they didn't feel that there was one more person around them, until someone spoke, and the two of them suddenly turned back together.

"Standing politics?"

The two young men spoke in unison, amusing Chang Wei.

"You two, what a rare talent."

"Chang Zheng has won the award."

Chang Wei frowned and said, "Brother Xuwen, don't be so polite, okay?" You and my eldest brother are cousins, and my eldest brother and I are cousins, so let's not come to this set of officialdom rules in private! ”

"And you!" Chang Wei looked at Li Pingzhi and said with a sharp gaze: "I know that the military department wants you to go back, but I find that you are more useful here, stay, and after three months, you will be the director of the military order bureau of the marching department!" ”

"Dare to disobey!" Li Pingzhi barely hesitated, and he had no modest intention at all, and immediately agreed.

Chang Wei glanced at him, then at Zhang Xuwen, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Zhang Xuwen also looked at the two of them, and said meaningfully: "You two are really right." ”

Li Pingzhi commented: "For the three of us, we should be able to quickly turn the situation around and save the general trend of Taiwan." ”

For this, the other two young people all felt the same way, and nodded together at the moment.

Although Chang Wei's age is about the same as them, Zhang Xuwen is actually the eldest one, Li Pingzhi is not yet twenty, Chang Wei is also about the same age, but all three of them are elites of this era, Chang Wei was born in a giant merchant family, Chang Jia is also a famous rich businessman's family, Chang Wei and his father Chang Jin have traveled north and south since childhood, and they are also well-informed, and the merchant family has taught how to deal with the hearts of the people in the world since childhood, so Chang Wei was able to help Zhang Han when he first arrived in Xinpingbao, and in the past two years, he has presided over the overall situation in Taiwan, although he is young, However, the life experience is much more abundant than that of a 100-year-old farmer.

Zhang Xuwen grew up in the Zhang family in Puzhou since he was a child, and the education of such a big family is not comparable to the kind of poor scholars who study hard.

Li Pingzhi is the leader in Xinpingbao school education, an awl-like figure who can pierce his pocket when he puts it in his pocket, these three people put it together, it is normal to do things, and it is not normal to do it!

……

Yan Siqi suddenly felt his right eyelid jump.

He was annoyed for a while, looked at the wine and food in front of him, and with a wave of his right hand, the wine and food fell to the ground.

"Brother Yan, what's wrong?" Yan Siqi's deputy is Chen Xinji, known for his wisdom, when he failed in Pinghu, it was Chen Xinji who suggested to develop in Taiwan, and after arriving in Bengang, he felt that the terrain of this estuary was flat, the surrounding mountain people were not strong, and the land was fertile and beautiful, and there were many beasts, which was suitable for the development of Tuntian, so after obtaining the consent of Li Dan, Yan Siqi and others started here with thirteen big ships, and recruited more than 3,000 immigrants to set up a village here.

The ten villages are in the shape of a tic-tac-toe, and in the middle is a large high platform more than ten meters high, which is suitable for overlooking and discovering the enemy situation on the sea and land, and is also convenient for directing the people in the village to do things.

Under the call of Yan Siqi's personal charm and ability, the foundation here was slowly opened up, Li Dan recognized Yan Siqi's efforts, coupled with the cooperation with He Yusheng in the past two years, Li Dan transported thousands of people from Hirado and Fujian, so that many forces combined, the number of Taiwan's Tunmin sailors stationed in the maritime merchants has finally exceeded 10,000.

In the eyes of many people, this is already a big foundation.

"Tell me the truth......" Yan Siqi thought for a while and said: "Li Ye is not in good health, I am here in Dongfan to help him preside over the family business, his family wealth is put here, and there are many elite men and ships stationed in Bengang, I am thinking, once Li Ye dies, what should I do?" ”

"This is Brother Yan's chance to stand on his own!" Chen Xinji almost shouted, and after listening to Yan Siqi's words, he immediately said loudly: "This is really a godsend, if Li Ye is safe and sound, I will not persuade Brother Yan to think about those who have and don't, although the brothers are now obeying our orders, but most of them are supported by Li Ye's prestige, and our own number of brothers is still too small." But if Li Ye dies, these brothers have been obeying us all these years, and once Li Ye is gone, will they go to Pingdo to listen to the eldest prince? ”

"As soon as the old master goes, he will abandon the new master and stand on his own, and I am worried that people will say about us."

"The skin of the mouth grows on people, can we forbid people to speak?" Chen Zhenji said: "If you are afraid of what people say, you can't do things, how many people are afraid of what people say these years?" Liu Xiang was also in Pingdo at the beginning, and Li Ye was long and Li Ye was short, but didn't he become self-reliant when he arrived in Guangzhou? ”

Yan Siqi's face gradually changed color, and he felt that what Chen Xinji said was very reasonable!

It doesn't matter whether he thinks the same way or Chen Xinji convinces him.

"So what are we going to do?"

"I've already sent someone to Hirado." Chen Xinji said calmly: "As soon as there is news, I will report back." ”

"We're here, and Heyusheng's power has also grown." Yan Siqi said: "Zheng Yiguan and they also came back today, and they didn't come to see me, will there be any changes?" ”

"Them?" Chen Xinji showed disdain: "It's just to please Li Ye, and the eldest prince also appreciates that Zhang Han, so he gave this place to make them rich." But their iron tools are really good, even if we gain power in the future, we will do the same. If they don't think about it, these northerners will come for a few days, and the sea is something they can play? ”

"That's just as well." Yan Siqi said seriously: "If I really gain power, I am willing to share the glory and disgrace with Brother Chen." ”

"Brother Yan, don't look for them these days." Chen Xinji smiled slightly and said, "At this time, you can't mess up the big thing. ”

Yan Siqi's face flushed, everyone knows that he is a good man, and he has always had a good impression of Zheng Yiguan, a handsome young man, when he was in Pingdo, Zheng Yiguan was accepted by Li Dan as a righteous son, and Yan Siqi also helped to say a lot of good things at that time.

If it weren't for the fork in history, it should be that Yan Siqi ran to Taiwan and soon Zheng Zhilong and others rushed to meet, and the famous pirate party of Eighteen Zhi was officially established, and then Zheng Yiguan took the throne as Yan Siqi's male favorite, and then embezzled Li Dan's inheritance, including floating wealth and fleet, sailors, and suddenly became a strong party, Li Guozhu of course was not convinced, and united Xu Xinsu to fight against Zheng Zhilong, but they were all defeated by Zheng Zhilong, Xu Xinsu was killed, and Yu Zhigao failed in the battle of leading the children of Fujian to crusade against Zheng Zhilong, and suffered heavy losses. Later, he was beheaded by the imperial court, and Zheng Zhilong thus became the king of Fujian and the last maritime tycoon.

At this time, being reminded was also Chen Xinji's kindness, Yan Siqi pressed down his strange thoughts, and said: "Our ambition is this sea, it is a million family wealth, how can I do a bad thing at this time!" ”

……

The house was full of medicinal incense, and Li Guozhu half-knelt on the ground and personally boiled medicine for his father.

Li Dan went to Taiwan once last year, because of the Dutch's affairs in Penghu again, and then the mediation failed, and he returned to Hirado by sea.

After all, he was an elderly man who was in very poor health, and Li Dan fell ill soon after returning to Hirado.

It's not that it's a disease, it may be some geriatric disease, and there is nothing to check in this era, the doctor simply said that Li Dan is a loss of origin, and he can only use some warm and tonic prescriptions to boil some medicines to eat, these medicines are said to be curatives, it is better to say that they are placebos, Li Dan is a big man at sea, I don't know how many life and death things I have seen in this life, and I am very calm on my head, if it weren't for Li Guozhu's filial piety to boil the medicine himself, he wouldn't drink these bitter and useless black soup at all.
