"Yes, yes, what General Sun said is extremely true, and I blame that I didn't make it clear just now." Zheng Hongkui apologized, and then said: "Although our Zheng family has been summoned by the imperial court, it is said that it can be regarded as an official army. But like the Ningxiang Army, the military salary of the imperial court was not a penny. So many people open their mouths to eat, and they have to think of their own ideas. Therefore, my family is a maritime merchant in the final analysis. ”

"In business, doing business is about harmony and wealth. Manpower is sometimes poor, and it is impossible for anyone to eat from beginning to end in a business. ”

Sun Yuan seemed to understand what he meant: "Mr. Yu said that he wanted to divide labor and cooperate? ”

"As General Sun said." Zheng Hongkui nodded and continued: "Actually, General Sun has been taking the route from Yangzhou to Shandong, and then to North Korea and Japan all these years. ”

Sun Yuan: "I want to go to Nanyang, but unfortunately your Zheng family refuses!" ”

Zheng Hongkui was a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and said: "In the final analysis, the bulk cargo of this route is nothing more than silk, tea and porcelain. What my eldest brother means is that otherwise, you and I will quit and cooperate on this line. ”

Hearing the word cooperation, Zheng Chenggong, who had not spoken, raised his head and looked at Sun Yuan with eager eyes, with a look of anticipation. is also a young man in his twenties, but Sun Yuan immediately made such a great achievement, in comparison, he is just a big young master. For Sun Yuan, Zheng Chenggong is extremely respectful, Sun Yuan is simply his idol, and naturally he does not want the Zheng family and Yangzhou Town to meet again.

Sun Yuan asked rhetorically: "Cooperation, how to cooperate?" ”

Zheng Hongkui said: "My eldest brother told me when I came: Walking the boat is a chore, not to mention the hard work on the road, maybe you will encounter Japanese pirates or pirates, but fortunately, our Zheng family has been on the sea for decades, and the road is also familiar."

。 On the Japanese side, there is also a response, and this matter will be handed over to the Zheng family to handle. ”

"Mr. Yu gradually means to let my Ning Xiangjun prepare goods for the Zheng family."

"General Sun really thought about it, and he understood it before he finished listening." Zheng Hongkui looked at Sun Yuan with a smile: "If this is not the case in the future, all your Yangzhou products will be sold to my Zheng family, and we will be responsible for selling them to Japan." You and I don't need to talk about the sharing, when my family buys Yangzhou production, it will rise by half on the basis of the market price. ”

"General Sun, don't underestimate this half-percent, my Zheng family's annual sea trade is huge, and it is also a big bonus accumulated in such a year...... Ah, General Sun......"

"Haha, haha!" Before he finished speaking, Sun Yuan laughed loudly.

Even Fu Shan, who was sitting next to him, covered his mouth and chuckled.

Hearing Fu Shan's laughter, Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Hongkui remembered that Sun Yuan had also brought such a staff member to attend, and this person was simply invisible.

Sun Yuan's smile was so loud, Zheng Hongkui: "General...... General Sun ......"

But Sun Yuan was still laughing, but he didn't seem to stop.

Zheng Hongkui saw that Sun Yuan was so rude, his face turned iron-blue, and Huo stood up as soon as he stood up, and he was about to have a seizure.

Zheng Chenggong hurriedly grabbed him: "Third uncle." He seemed to beg him with his eyes not to walk away.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please forgive me for having a low laugh." Sun Yuan was still laughing, and he pointed at Fu Shan: "Master Qing, you told Mr. Yue why I laughed, right?" ”

After speaking, he began to wipe the tears that came out of his laughter.

Fu Shan stood up, arched his hand, and said, "Mr. Yue's condition seems to be very generous on the surface, but have you thought about it, sir?" What is produced in my Yangzhou? Porcelain, silk or tea? Most of the Haimao porcelain is made in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi; Tea is produced in your Fujian, of course, there are a lot of Hangzhou, but that is not the territory of our Yangzhou Town. As for silk, Jiangning weaving is not for show. Moreover, these properties are all controlled by the merchants set up by the great squires and the noble clans, so it is difficult for Mr. Cheng to let us Yangzhou Town buy them from them. Indeed, in business, the family has monopolized these three bulk goods, let's go and buy them, so it's no wonder if we don't get slaughtered in blood? By the way, if we sell tea to the Zheng family, it is difficult to send someone to Fujian to buy the tea from you first, and then sell it back, wouldn't this be an extra move

。 Haha, if you talk about Yangzhou's specialty, there is only one thing, that is, salt, Mr. Yan is difficult to let us smuggle salt. If our Ningxiang army goes to make smuggled salt, it can be sold inland, so why should I go overseas. Haha, what the Zheng family said seems to be very generous on the surface, but in fact, they treat us as three-year-olds. （）”

Sun Yuan stopped laughing, pointed at Zheng Hongkui and said, "Mr. Yu, you came this time to bury a certain person, you are insincere!" ”

Hearing Fu Shan break this point, Zheng Chenggong next to him suddenly realized, and glanced at Zheng Hongkui again: "Third uncle." His eyes seemed to blame him for being too harsh.

Zheng Hongkui was speechless for a while: Why is the eldest prince like this, isn't this an elbow turned out?

Indeed, the meaning of this condition thrown by Zheng Hongkui is just like what Fu Shan said. On the surface, Yangzhou Town seems to have become the general supplier of the Zheng family, but it is a pity that the bulk commodities in the southeast are controlled by the gentry and the big clans, for example, the tea producing areas are the industries of the big clans, and Yangzhou does not produce tea; Silk weaving, in addition to the government, large workshops are also controlled by the gentry, any larger textile workshop in the south of the Yangtze River does not have hundreds of looms?

None of these people have official fame, and some are even retired grandmothers from the imperial court. These protégés and former officials are all over the world, and their classmates have traveled all over Jiangnan in the same year, and they have already formed a huge interest group.

If Sun Yuan recklessly gets involved in it and grabs food with them, he will inevitably encounter a great backlash, and if he can't say it, he will trap himself in it----- the enmity of his parents can be forgotten, and he will be cut off from his wealth, then there is no room for turning around.

In the past few years, the Ningxiang Army and the Zheng family have fought to the death on the ocean, and they have fought real fire with each other. Moreover, in the past year, the Ningxiang Army has gradually turned the tide of the war by relying on new warships and artillery, coupled with huge investment. If it goes on like this, the Zheng family will be a little overwhelmed.

That's why Zheng Hongkui came up with such a method. If Sun Yuan falls into this trap, he will soon become the public enemy of the Jiangnan gentry, and all his energy will be involved in this matter, so he naturally has no spare strength to compete with the Zheng family at sea.

But I didn't want to, as soon as I finished speaking, the two people on the other side instantly figured out the powerful relationship. Sun Yuan can have today's situation, he is really shrewd and a character.

Zheng Hongkui: "General Sun, this time my eldest brother and even the eldest son were sent to Nanjing, isn't this called sincerity?" The so-called peace talks were negotiated

。 If the general is not satisfied with this condition of my family, he can continue to talk and ask for advice. ”

Sun Yuan nodded: "This condition is indeed too harsh, and I can't accept it in Yangzhou Town." Dare to ask, can Mr. Yu gradually represent General Zheng with full powers? ”

Before Zheng Hongkui could speak, Zheng Chenggong next to him took the lead in interjecting: "When the third uncle came to Nanjing, my father said that the negotiation with Yangzhou can be decided on the spot, General Sun, please speak." ”

Zheng Hongkui: "My eldest brother has even sent the eldest son, even if I can't represent the eldest brother, can't the eldest son represent him?" ”

"That's good." Sun Yuan said slowly: "My Ningxiang Army and Fujian Navy Division have been fighting for almost three years, and in the past three years, our two families have lost hundreds of warships, and there are thousands of dead and wounded soldiers and sailors. If this kind of fight continues, it is not a good thing for both families, and it is indeed time to sit down and talk. Judging from the current situation, Yangzhou Town has initially controlled the route from the Yellow Sea to North Korea and Japan. In my opinion, each business is done separately, and on the Japanese line, our two wells do not interfere with the river water and live in harmony. ”

"It turns out that the general wants to monopolize this route!" Zheng Hongkui's face was difficult to look at.

Just kidding, the Japanese market is not large, and the two companies are going this line at the same time, and the result is that everyone is not full. Moreover, the Zheng family in Japan has been in business for a long time, and his eldest brother even married a woman from the Tagawa family. The place of collapse will not allow others to sleep soundly.

He did not trust the discipline of the Yangzhou army. Maybe in two years, once Sun Yuan gets fat on this trade route and accumulates enough strength, he will bite back.

Sun Yuan: "No, no, no, it's not a monopoly, it's a big road, half of each way." ”

Zheng Hongkui snorted coldly and stood up: "This decision cannot be done, if the general is like this, then there is no need for us to talk about it today." ”

"Mr. Gradual, why be angry?" Fu Shan said with a smile: "Of course, in order to show the sincerity of my Yangzhou Town, my Ningxiang Navy Division promised that with the chicken coop as the boundary, our army's warships would never take the next step south." ”

There are red hairs on the Taiwan side, that's not easy to deal with, it's strange if your Ningxiang army can go south, Zheng Hongkui didn't talk nonsense, and walked towards the door with a calm face.

"Third uncle, third uncle." Zheng Chenggong shouted again.

Zheng Hongkui: "Eldest son, let's go." ”

Sun Yuan and Fu Shan also stood up, and Sun Yuan asked with a smile: "Where are you going, you haven't finished talking yet."

！ ”

"General Sun, do you think there is still a need for our two families to talk? I'm sorry, the shepherd is quite concerned about this matter, he is still waiting for news in the house, and he rushed back to report it. Leave! Zheng Hongkui arched his hand and went downstairs. Before leaving, he couldn't help but bring out Qian Qianyi to put pressure on Sun Yuan.

Sun Yuan hurriedly followed: "I'll send Mr. Yu Yan." ”

Later, Zheng Chenggong and Fu Shan hurriedly followed.

Fu Shan: "Eldest son, when will we talk about it next time?" ”

Zheng Chenggong choked: "I'm ...... I don't know, I have to ask the third uncle about this. ”

Zheng Hongkui turned around: "There is no next time, Fusong, let's go." ”

Fu Shan: "Negotiation and negotiation, we have to talk, this time we can't agree, let's go down and think about it, can we make another appointment?" ”

Zheng Chenggong glanced at Fu Shan with an apologetic gaze: "I'll go back and discuss it with the third uncle." ”

"Fuson!"

At this time, there was a commotion downstairs.

Someone shouted angrily: "Leng Ying, you are so bold, you dare to block the way of this hundred households?" ”

The four of them stood at the top of the stairs while looking down. But I saw three brocade guards standing at the gate of Yuejiang Building, all dressed up in hundreds of households, followed by a man who carried a burden, looking at the steamer on the burden, it was obvious that they were all wine and food. The leader was a big white fat man, and he stretched out his fingers with anger and kept poking Leng Ying's chest.

Leng Ying still had that calm expression and didn't retreat.

As for the two guards of the Zheng family, they stood aside with a smile and watched the excitement, and did not come forward to help.

The four of them from Yangzhou Town and Fujian Sailor glanced at each other, and wondered at the same time: Who recruited Jinyiwei and what do you want to do?

Sun Yuan shook his head, and Zheng Hongkui also shook his head, although he was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he was also a plus, and he could not command Nanjing.
