Chapter 127: The Leader of the Pirates

The words are divided into many parts, and it is said that Ma Qiang and Zhao San have been arranged by Lin Yuzhi, and Ma Qiang is responsible for the two major parts of merchant ships and goods; Zhao San was responsible for the selection, deployment and training of personnel going to sea, and the two began to divide their labor.

The words are divided into two ends, starting with Zhao San. Zhao San is known to be chivalrous, but he is not the kind of blind barbarian temperament, since he saw Lin Yuzhi, he felt that Lin Yuzhi's personality can be regarded as the master, and he deeply felt that Lin Yuzhi has the heart to help the poor.

Although he didn't understand Lin Yuzhi's decision to go to sea, Zhao San faintly intuitively felt that Lin Yuzhi must have his intentions when he acted like this, so he resolutely decided to personally lead the team to sea.

These brothers under his command had no experience in this area, so Zhao San had to focus his brains on other aspects. The young master allowed himself to choose among the coastal fishermen, and he thought that this idea was very correct. It was Zhao San who took a few brothers and went to visit the fishermen near Tianjin, not wanting to really let himself gain something.

Wuqing County, Tianjin Prefecture does have a well-known local bandit leader, named Zeng Dahai, this person according to the local fishermen's rumors, the personality is bold, the art is outstanding, and the righteousness is angry, so he can respond to a hundred calls, known as the "leader of the green forest".

Interestingly, although he is a pirate leader, he is a bookish man, he has a collection of hundreds of strange books in the pirate ship, and usually holds a book until late at night. While he likes to read, he also loves the house and Wu and likes the reader. If he met a scholar of letters, he always instructed his subordinates not to embarrass others, and when he met a shy Han scholar, he would follow the teachings of the sage, give generously, and give support.

Zeng Dahai also hung a pair of couplets on the bow of the ship, the upper one is "the road is not good, take the pole to float in the sea", and the lower one is "the trouble of people, the belt stands in the court". You know, Shanglian is still the original words of Confucius, hanging high on a pirate ship at the moment, it is really a great irony of "the way is not good", but from another point of view, cultured pirates are indeed much more dangerous than uncultured pirates.

If we want to say how this Zeng Dahai became the leader of the bandits, it must start from the 57th year of Kangqian, when there was a strong earthquake in Wuqing and Jizhou, the sound was like thunder, the sky was dark, countless houses collapsed, and many people and animals were crushed. The Baodi earthquake destroyed houses from the northwest. There were strong earthquakes in Tianjin and Jinghai, houses collapsed, and there were many casualties. In the same year, there was a big flood that broke through the port, flooding the bricks of Tianjin Prefecture 16 levels, and became the image of a land boat.

At that time, most of the imperial court's relief went into the pockets of the upper-level officials, and there were few among the people, the land and houses were damaged, and there were dozens of poor families in the township where Zeng Dahai was located at that time, causing disasters, survival was unsustainable, and he was forced to be unable to do it.

This is also a way to do it, and it is really impossible to get a ship license for the customs, and this kind of behavior of going to sea without the approval of the government is illegal, so although it is not a disaster to the neighbors and rob the boat, it is also a kind of banditry.

......

"Brother, you are not small, you dare to run directly towards North Korea and Japan, and we only dare to run sea trade in the suburbs of North Korea, and then Jizhou, Baozhou, and Dongzhou. Do you know how many reefs and reefs there are along the way to the East? What's the weather like? When can I sail? Do you know any of this? How difficult it is to sail to know? Is HNA what you inexperienced people should do? It's just eating the gall of an ambitious leopard! Hurry home and do what you want! Zeng Dahai teased with a smile.

That's right, this is indeed Zeng Dahai in Wuqing County, and Zhao San also found him through his brothers and inquiring in many ways.

Now the two are sitting in a small teahouse on the outskirts of Wuqing County, and after Zhao San told the purpose of his trip, it attracted Zeng Dahai's question.

How could Zhao San not know that these problems were indeed his biggest difficulties at present, but because of these difficulties, he found him, naturally if Zeng Dahai helped, then these difficulties would be reduced a lot.

"In this Tianjin Prefecture, no one knows that Brother Zeng is righteous, although he is a chivalrous bandit, but he never harms the township, and he also takes out his own silver in the disaster year to help the poor fishermen and people, and no one in the surrounding poor people is not convinced, they all have to give a thumbs up." Zhao San did not directly answer Zeng Dahai's question, but only raised his hand and said.

Although Zeng Dahai knew that this was deliberately to exalt himself, his words still sounded comfortable, and he laughed and said, "You kid has a clever mouth, we can talk about it as brothers, but you go to sea and run so far, I really can't help you, this trip is dangerous, I can't let my brothers take risks in vain." So brother, listen to my brother's advice, you'd better dispel this idea of going to sea and do some other business, it's better than this to pan for food in the sea. ”

Zeng Dahai said something serious, and Zhao San also understood his statement.

"Brother Zeng doesn't know, this matter is very critical and important to our young master, and we also know that our ability is limited, so we inquired and wanted to ask Brother Zeng for help." Zhao San continued.

Zhao San approached Zeng Dahai, lowered his voice and said, "As long as Brother Zeng helps us on this trip, our young master can give Brother Zeng a commission of 20% of the profit from the goods." In this trade of goods, the gross profit should be one million at least, and it should not be a problem to pay a commission of more than 100,000 yuan to the brothers after deducting the cost of goods, transportation, expenses and taxes paid to the imperial court. ”

Zeng Dahai shook his head, he didn't care much about the profit commission that Zhao San said, and said with a smile, "I know that my brother is interesting enough for this number, but I don't dare to just see these silver coins and put my brother's safety in danger." If the three brothers of Zhao insist on this sea trade, they will have to look for other people to cooperate. In this vast East Bay, it is not only the brothers who are engaged in these transactions, not to mention that there are many other trading houses doing it, wouldn't it be more convenient for the brothers to cooperate with them. ”

Zhao San's persuasion was fruitless, so he could only return in vain and return to the capital to report to Lin Yuzhi.

Lin Yuzhi, who was studying hard, was called out by Zhao San again and was told about the negotiations in Wuqing County.

"Young master, I still want to cooperate with this Zeng Dahai brother, although he is not right to be a bandit, but I have let the brothers visit all over the country, he is a righteous person, and there are no people who know him who do not praise him. The brothers below him were also poor people, and they were all people who were not able to survive because the harvest was not enough to survive by the landlord's family, and they could not go to the sea to fish casually, and their livelihood was in question. There are also some lonely old people below, and there are some people with broken chapters, who have no parents and children when they are struck. Zhao San said that his eyes were also red.

Lin Yuzhi is a little helpless, this is a man with a story!
