Chapter 53: Xiao Xiangui retires
Xiao Xiangui took Li Tu, hired a carriage in Qianting Town, walked for two days, and found Yang Degong's boat in Gangwei Bay, Haicheng County. Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info get on Yang Degong's boat, and the two met Yang Degong in the tail tower.
Seeing Xiao Xiangui and Li Tu again, Yang Degong seemed a little embarrassed, and said loudly as soon as they met: "Zi'an is really a Jiren with his own natural appearance!" actually ended Chen Shenggao! Blew my mind! I heard that your ship was unharmed" Glancing at Li Tu, Yang Degong said: "I heard that it is all the credit of this little brother. ”
Xiao Xiangui said with a smile: "It was my ship that made meritorious service and trained the crew, which led to a big victory." ”
When Yang Degong heard the word "Chuanzheng", he blinked his eyes and said, "Chuanzheng? Zi'an now has two boats? ”
Xiao Xiangui nodded and said with a smile: "After seizing one of Chen Shenggao's boats, he will make two boats and run to the sea, one more boat and one more insurance!" ”
Chen Shenggao heard that Xiao Xiangui had two boats running to the sea, and seemed to be a little psychologically unbalanced, so he nodded and stopped talking.
Xiao Xiangui saw that Chen Shenggao was silent, and only said: "I'm here this time... ”
Chen Shenggao waved his hand and said, "Zi'an came to me, I know it too." It's just that why didn't Zi'an come earlier? You know, if you come two days later, I'll already be out of the sea. When this is about to set sail, Zi'an came, did he encounter something recently and came to me? ”
Xiao Xiangui smiled and said reluctantly: "Where is there anything, it is nothing more than to go to sea safer with a boat!" Didn't we say okay last year, when we arrived in Zhangzhou, we went to sea together! ”
Chen Shenggao sneered and said, "Something must be wrong!" Otherwise, how would it not be early, come to me at this time. ”
This Chen Shenggao seems to be tough, but he is a person with thick and fine. Seeing that Xiao Xiangui came to him at this time, he insisted that Xiao Xiangui had encountered something. Xiao Xiangui was helpless, so he could only say lightly: "What's the matter?" It was nothing more than the sacrifice of the Virgin Mary, when the incense fell to the ground. ”
When Yang Degong heard this, he glanced at Xiao Xiangui. In the middle of the ring, he closed his eyes and muttered, "This is a big ominous! I can't walk the sea with you! ”
Xiao Xiangui's face turned white, and he said, "What is ominous about missing your hand?" Walk with me in two boats, you also have one more protection, right? ”
That Yang Degong didn't know if he laughed at Xiao Xiangui last year, but now he was annoyed and angry, and he didn't want to send the boat with Xiao Xiangui, or he really felt that Xiao Xiangui's sacrifice was ominous, he shook his head and smiled: "Zi'an, I have the flag of the old ship, but I am not as afraid as you!" When I met the disciples of the old boat, there was the flag of the old boat, and they didn't dare to rob me! ”
Xiao Xiangui said angrily: "What about other strongmen?" Li Dan is not the only one on this sea! ”
Yang Degong said with a smile: "Then it depends on luck." Zi'an is so unlucky, as soon as he goes to sea, he meets Chen Shenggao, I will never dare to go to sea with you! ”
Xiao Xiangui's face turned red with anger, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Xian, think about it again!" Ship hopping is good for both parties! Moreover, we have already made up our minds in the kingdom of Wa. ”
That Yang Degong didn't appreciate Xiao Xiangui's affection, and said loudly: "There's nothing to think about, I have the flag of the old boat, and I won't share the boat with you!" ”
Xiao Xiangui looked at Yang Degong and was speechless. In the middle of the ring, he flicked off his shirt and walked away.
Li Tu looked at Yang Degong, who had rebelled, and didn't bother to say a word more, turned around and caught up with Xiao Xiangui.

On the carriage on the way back, Xiao Xiangui's face turned pale and he didn't say a word.
It wasn't until he arrived in Qianting Town that Xiao Xiangui sighed and said, "Chuanzheng, I'm unlucky, Our Lady ordered me to collect my head!" If I go to sea this time, I don't know how much trouble I will bring. ”
Li Tu said lightly: "The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth." ”
Xiao Xiangui waved his hand and muttered, "No, I won't be able to go to sea this time." ”
Li Tu asked lightly: "If you don't go to sea, what will happen to the cargo on the two ships?" ”
Glancing at Li Tu, Xiao Xiangui said loudly: "Chuanzheng, this time, you will be the owner of the ship for me and take these two ships to Japan." After a pause, Xiao Xiangui said again: "How about the profit?" ”
Li Tu looked at Xiao Xiangui and was silent.
Li Tu knew that this was a critical moment to decide his future. Xiao Xiangui didn't dare to go to sea, Xue Yiming was a weak housekeeper, unable to lead the crew to fight against the pirates, and now he had the prestige and ability to lead the two ships, only Li Tu, and only he could replace Xiao Xiangui as the owner of the ship.
Li Tu is indeed an honest and trustworthy person, whether it is when he encounters pirates, or when he takes money to bribe officials, Li Tu will stand up but when he is up, he will settle the accounts clearly afterwards, so Xiao Xiangui trusts him.
But Li Tu's honesty and trustworthiness are not used by others for free. With this honesty and trustworthiness, Li Tu wants to exchange for the greatest benefits.
Li Tu said lightly: "Owner, I want 20% of the profit!" ”
When Xiao Xiangui heard this, he muttered: "The boat is right! The cargo of two ships is a profit of several thousand taels a year! The ship is just you can't ask too much at once! ”
Xiao Xiangui is right. Li Tu's current remuneration is only four hundred taels. One percent of the ship's profit at once is several thousand taels, which is ten times the remuneration.
But Li Tu knew that he was worth the price. Looking at Xiao Xiangui, Li Tu said lightly:
"I'm not talking to you about a year's earnings, I'm talking to you about long-term deals. I assure you that under my management, the Zaixing and Crescent will sail for at least five more years! In the past five years, the profits of the two ships have been mine. ”
Hearing Li Tu's words, Xiao Xiangui was silent.
Yes, if you look at the income of a year alone, Li Tu's income of several thousand taels at once is indeed a leap, and he should not ask for more compensation. But the question is, after the first and second years, Li Tu earned enough silver through the sharing to build and purchase ships by himself, will he take Xiao Xiangui's ship to the sea?
This is a question that Li Tu can decide, Xiao Xiangui can only let Li Tu decide, and when the time comes, Li Tu will change his words to fifty or sixty percent, and Xiao Xiangui has no choice. Except for Li Tu, he could not find a second person who was qualified to be the owner of the ship.
Yicheng, Xiao Xiangui is thinking about the price of a year. Twenty percent, Li Tu is talking about the price of five years.
Even if Xiao Xiangui earns a few thousand taels less a year, in the face of Li Tu's five-year commitment, it is not a problem at all. Xiao Xiangui has only been running for two years, and he has already earned a huge amount of wealth. If you don't have to risk running to the sea, but you can still earn eighty percent of the silver for five years, it is undoubtedly extremely cost-effective for Xiao Xiangui.
The two encounters with pirates were inspired by Li Tu and rescued the whole ship. asked Li Tu to bribe the officials, and Li Tu returned the extra money to Xiao Xiangui afterwards. Li Tu did such an act, Xiao Xiangui trusted Li Tu.
Xiao Xiangui muttered, "Do you really run for five years?" ”
Li Tu replied in a deep voice: "At least five years!" ”
Under Li Tu's promise, Xiao Xiangui quickly found the right answer. He patted the carriage excitedly and said:
"Okay, you are the owner of the ship, at least five years of running the sea, and the profit is eight for you two!"
