Chapter 0208. Privateering

In the entire hall, the number 100 pirates, the bald strong, the one-eyed dragon, the chest-haired brother, the big man with the feet, all kinds of characters were shining, as if watching a peerless beauty out of the bath, all stared at Li Jie.

It is no wonder that outside the port, except for the Xiao family's building ship, the fleet of Li Jie and Li You's brothers can be called a giant, and the rest, regardless of the Japanese ship Tang ship, there is no one more than 30 meters, in this era, the ship is not so easy to build.

Tang Di has technology, the building ship of Sun Quan of Eastern Wu once had 50 zhang, 10 zhang high, equivalent to 127 meters, 27 meters, can carry 3,000 armor soldiers of the giant building ship, the former Sui Yang Su's Wuya ship building ship also has more than 80 meters, can carry more than 1,000 armor soldiers, but the one that can build the ship does not need such a large amount of manpower and material resources, even the ordinary coastal rich merchants and pirates can not organize such a scale dock.

Originally, more than ten years later, at the mouth of the Baekje Baekchon River, there would be the first Sino-Japanese naval battle in history, the Tang army commanded by Liu Renliang was 13,000, and more than 1,000 ships of the Japanese army and the Baekje coalition army were fighting, more than 42,000 people, almost a one-to-three ratio of troops, and a ratio of one-to-five ships, but in just one day, Liu Renliang broke the Japanese army, killed more than 10,000 Japanese people on the spot, burned more than 400 ships, and captured countless people.

On the one hand, Liu Renliang commanded properly, the Tang army was well-trained, and the morale was high, on the other hand, most of the Tang army's battles were building ships, which were like a city agglomeration on the sea, and the building boats with a height of more than 10 meters and 20 meters could not even climb up, and it was no wonder if they did not lose.

Of course, that's a long way off, for now it's back to the hull, regardless of maneuverability, scale, and sturdiness, Li Jie's Galen ship, eh, and Qi ship are far superior to the small wooden planks of various pirates, so that these guys who eat with their heads at sea are strange.

Being stared at by these *naked* eyes, Li Jie was also unbearable, and continued to announce: "Laizhou Port can accept your orders from the date of the king's return, and at the same time, the port of Denglai will also be divided into special areas for you to sell goods, supplies, enjoy life, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, Denglai two ports, as long as you abide by the rules of the port, do not kill people and set fires, no one will arrest you." ”

This really caused a boiling in the pirate group, most of the pirates can't get by, so they are looking for food at sea with their heads, even if some of the Tang people go to Silla, the Japanese land plunders the Silla maids, and the rich merchant pirates of the Japanese slaves are also looked down upon, not only the convenience of the ship, but also the wealth that the uncle generally squanders the looted wealth, which is also the dream of every pirate.

The conditions put forward by Li Jie were simply heaven for the pirates.

However, in the eager discussions, there were still a few sober, a stubble-faced, black and fat bald pirate, after picking his feet for a long time, he gritted his teeth and stood up, looked at Li Jie, who was smiling and silent, and asked in a deep voice in unfamiliar Chinese: "This Tang nobleman, but you want to take us in?" ”

Suddenly, the hall was quiet again, some people were eager, some people were stunned, and some people were disgusted, the pirates were free, not everyone was willing to have more than one master on their heads, and even more scheming people also thought of the identity of Li You, the king of Qi, and collected the pirates, could it be that this one wants to rebel?

You can't be this cannon fodder easily!

All kinds of eyes once again converged on Li Jie, some were excited, some were apprehensive, some were disgusted, and in so many emotions, Li Jie smiled slightly and waved his hand, raising his head and sneering: "What are you doing when Lao Tzu is co-opting you rotten goods, it's just a waste of food." ”

"Then the noble man promised us so many benefits for nothing?" On the other end, a chubby Datang pirate with fish bones hanging from the corner of his mouth shouted out in disbelief, and Li Jie's smile suddenly became even stronger.

"There is no free dinner in the world, of course, it is impossible to give you so many benefits in vain, openly harboring pirates, you must know that it is also a lot of pressure on the reputation of our brothers, so to accept the benefits of this king, you have to abide by the rules of this king, the first point is that you are not allowed to rob the merchant ships of the Tang Dynasty again! Don't attack Tang Land! ”

The first one made all the pirates silent for a long time, went ashore to rob, plundered slaves, robbed merchant ships, a few are the biggest benefits of pirates, especially merchant ships, these years the merchants are almost all running errands for the big family, looting a few years without having to do it again, among the merchant ships, the most profitable is the Tang merchant ships, who makes the Tang people rich.

The same is true for ashore raids.

"I, Yamamoto Sanfat, agree to this!" Finally, there was still a short man who shouted viciously first, and after a while, as if waking up, the rest of the pirates also scrambled to agree, and responded first, and when the time came, they could take advantage of it, and if they couldn't take advantage of it, it would be a big deal to regret it.

For these pirates who talk like farts, Li Jie also knows the thoughts of these guys, sneered for a moment but didn't dwell on anything, and directly recounted the next one.

"Of course, not all Datang merchant ships can not be robbed, this one, this king will set up an office in Denglai Port, those Datang merchant ships can be robbed will be issued to you as a task, after the success of the robbery, not only the goods are your spoils, but the king's office will also give you rewards!"

The many pirates who said this were really bright, and the first time they robbed the government and returned the reward, before they finished sighing, Li Jie sneered and said the next one.

"What's more, all the loot you plundered must be sold in the two states of Denglai, and behind this king is the Cotton Textile Guild, which will give you a fair price, which is particularly important!"

It made all the pirates stunned again, and after a while, it was Yamamoto Sanfat who asked first: "What goods and what cotton textile guilds will accept them?" ”

"As long as there is value, take it!" Speaking of this, Li Jie nodded quite firmly, and immediately made many foreign pirates ecstatic again, slaves, goods, looted in the Japanese Kingdom and Silla, naturally it is impossible to sell them to the two places, and the nobles in the two places are also poor, and they can't sell them at a good price, the rich Tang Dynasty is naturally the only place to sell the stolen goods, these Japanese pirates Silla pirates are often looted to the point that things can't be sold, and the Cotton Textile Guild promises to collect them all, but it is a great news for them.

In case the price is too low, it's a big deal to change to another one!

Seeing that all the pirates present nodded secretly, the corners of Li Jie's mouth couldn't help but curl higher, and finally pressed down on his hand, Li Jie said loudly: "The following is congratulations to everyone, the conditions proposed by this king, there must be a prerequisite for entry, that is, to join this king's office, this office is a start-up, your qualifications will not be reviewed, and those who are willing to cooperate with this king can directly receive their certificates today." ”

As he spoke, Li Jie glanced at Li You, who nodded knowingly and took out the seal of King Qi, and at the same time, Wu Meiniang also brought a bundle of parchment paper and the seal of King Shuo and placed them on the table at the front of the hall.

"If you are willing to cooperate with this king, come forward to get a privateer license, and in the name of King Qi and King Shuo, grant you the legitimacy of plundering!"

The first one to step forward was the stunned pirate Yamamoto Sanfat, after filling in the name of the old boy on the parchment roll plundering permit, he unambiguously stamped the big seal of King Qi and King Shuo, looking at the red seal, even if he didn't know the words on it, the feeling of the official family still made the pirate of the Wa Kingdom feel extremely high, and it seemed that all of a sudden, his value had also risen.

Hey, Lao Tzu is also the one who does things for the Tang Dynasty officials!

Seeing Yamamoto's three-fat head held high, the hot-eyed pirates immediately swarmed up, and suddenly the congested water in front of the table was blocked, and the hand that had just finished picking his feet waved in front of Wu Meiniang, making this fierce girl's pretty face turn white.

After working for half an hour, she was forced to vomit, Wu Meiniang was stunned to register everyone, then she covered her mouth and turned around and ran, before leaving, she was full of resentment and glared at Li Jie, and laughed obscenely, Li Jie immediately glanced back at the pirates who were holding the certificate in a mess, and cleared his throat again.

"Gentlemen pirates, keep the certificate, in duplicate, if you lose it and then replenish it, it will cost you money, you don't care about the fight between you, don't worry about Lao Tzu's brains, no one cares about the brains of people in the open sea, and no one cares about the brains of the people in the open sea, and don't think that the rules that this king said are jokes, and if you violate Lao Tzu's rules, let's wait and see, hum!"

The cold smile carried the strong murderous aura of the battlefield, which made the pirates present tremble, and nodded with satisfaction, and then Li Jie regained his warm smile, smiled and waved his hand: "Of course, this king did this office just to make money, everyone obeys the rules, of course, you are good or me, in order to celebrate the establishment of this office, come here, serve wine and meat!" ”

The newly killed pigs and sheep, the distilled spirits of the big jar, the rich sound immediately hooked out the saliva of a group of pirates, today I encountered a big happy event, everyone under the joy is to let go of the food, solve the idea in the heart, Li Jie himself is also relieved, anyway, the rivers and lakes are fighting who has a hard fist, leaving the stinky pirate, Li Jie smiled and Li You walked to the back hall.

"This noble man waits!"

Another jerky Chinese sounded behind him, Li Jie turned his head suspiciously, or the Yamamoto Sanfat cautiously chased after him, and asked respectfully with a smile on his face: "That, nobleman, with this certificate, can you buy a boat when you go to Dengzhou?" ”

"You still need to wait, after all, the king hasn't gone back yet, the order hasn't taken effect yet, of course, if you have nothing to do, you can follow the king's fleet, and after you go back, the king can arrange the shipyard to be the first to do it for you, all types of ships in the king's fleet, as long as you pay for it, you can do it."

"Eh, that~" The obscene eight-character Hu smiled even more, and Yamamoto Sanfat asked more cautiously: "Don't you want those slender boats with sharp bottoms to become nobles?" That, the small, the small one wants to build a ship, just like in the harbor! The boat looks sturdy, His Royal Highness's boat, it's a little too girly! ”

The Galen boat was carefully selected by Li Jie, and he was also the leading boss who had been rampant in the seven seas for more than a hundred years, and he was actually evaluated as a girl, seeing this guy's obscene smile, Li Jie immediately stretched a few green tendons on his forehead, and said with angry trembling hands: "Okay, good, you, don't regret it!" ”

"That thing is sturdy, like a pure man, how can I regret it?" Overjoyed, Yamamoto Sanfat didn't notice Li Jie's madness at all, and said happily.
