Chapter 530: A child's mind is not understood by adults
As soon as Tang Ming returned to the mansion, Li Ba immediately came up, and with a happy face, it was obvious that he had something good to tell Tang Ming. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
What kind of virtue Li Ba is, Tang Ming naturally knows, I don't know if it is because he is no longer a spy of Jinyiwei, so he can be himself again or for other reasons. In short, Tang Ming found that Li Ba's personality had changed a lot compared to before, although he would play with himself easily before, he would never completely hide his true heart like now.
When he arrived in the inner hall, Tang Ming, who sat directly on the chair, looked at Li Ba and said, "Did those Dutch recruit something?" ”
Li Ba was not surprised at all, and said with a smile: "Big harvest!" I didn't expect those two fierce and vicious big guys to be just two paper tigers. I only used a small punishment on them, and they even explained the eighteen generations of their ancestors clearly. ”
"Okay, without further ado, what did they explain to make you excited?" Tang Ming didn't want to continue listening to Li Ba's nonsense, no matter what he said, he was still an injured person, the doctor said that he needed to rest more, he didn't want to waste time on this.
As soon as Li Ba saw that Tang Ming was starting to become a little impatient, he said with a smile: "As for the things they seized on the ship, I won't say much, although there are a lot, they are only some money things. However, the two big men explained that their Dutch army would arrive in Luzon in the near future, and it was very likely that they would attack. ”
Tang Ming frowned and said, "Have you asked why?" Although the Netherlands is not very far from Luzon, it has to have an excuse to send troops to Luzon for no reason! ”
Li Ba shook his head and said, "That Rykov is dead and can't ask, those two big guys are too low in rank and don't know much." They only knew that the army would go to war with Luzon in the near future, and as for why they did not know. And that Rykov was just a small spy, and according to the two big men, Rykov had come with them to explore the way. ”
Tang Ming nodded, Li Ba didn't know the situation so he couldn't know what the Dutch meant, but he could guess somewhat. It is nothing more than wanting to start colonizing foreign countries, and these people have been holding the idea of colonization since the beginning of the voyage.
They are no better than Zheng He, the Ming fleet goes with peaceful exchanges everywhere, but they sail with the intention of hegemony and surprise. The two different concepts have also created different development paths for both sides.
The Age of Discovery, which began many years earlier, was a good sign that the Dutch fleet was active in the seas of Asia. Of course, this is also an opportunity for Tang Ming to really rise, and the development of Jeju Island has almost reached a bottleneck, and the population is saturated.
However, there is still a lot of room for development on Ryukyu Island, but after all, it is only an island, and no matter how big it is, it will stride there. The absolute superiority in force, Tang Ming didn't want to waste it in vain, in this era when he had a big fist, he would listen to whomever he wanted. Although he won't take the initiative to find trouble with others, he can at least go with the flow!
Let Fei Xin kill the two big guys and throw them into the sea to feed the fish, and order to remove all traces of Rykov's arrival on Jeju Island, even the ships they came on were all dismantled, in short, the corpses were destroyed.
As soon as Li Ba left, Ye Yan came to visit, and according to Tang Ming's requirements, he had persuaded more than ninety percent of the merchants to defect to Tang Ming. The rest of those who don't agree are just a few small families, and it doesn't matter if they come or not. So Ye Yan didn't persuade again, after all, everyone has their own ambitions, and the twisted melon is not sweet.
Besides, what Tang Ming needs are those who are willing and really want to do big business. Tang Ming was very satisfied with Ye Yan's efficiency, and knew that he would be so active and flattering himself.
A qualified businessman should be mercenary, and if he doesn't want to make money, he is not called a businessman, but a philanthropist. Ye Yan had already shown himself his abilities, and Tang Ming was naturally willing to leave these merchants in his hands.
Both sides take what they need so that things can be done for a long time, and Tang Ming's boldness also made Ye Yan look at this young man differently again. From the beginning of the gentleman to the middle of the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and then to today's veteran. Ye Yan was more surprised by Tang Ming's in-depth contact.
Jeju Island is now Tang Ming's old nest, and space is limited, so he directly handed over Ryukyu Island to Ye Yan to take care of, where he will build it into a real sea trade island. According to the rank and strength of those merchants, each person was given a different land for them to store their goods.
Little Jasmine has been in a good mood recently, although his father was injured, but he has also been idle, and he has not been out to Jeju Island for more than a month. She has been sticking to Tang Ming for a month, enjoying the joy of family reunion, and the little girl will hum an unknown song taught by her father, and rush into the living room.
"Two tigers, two tigers running fast...... Daddy, the eldest mother and the second mother asked you to come over for dinner! Seeing that Tang Ming was the only one in the living room, the little girl immediately plunged into her arms, and her little head kept arching in her arms.
Tang Ming tried his best to raise his injured hand so that little Jasmine wouldn't touch it, and said with a smile: "Little Jasmine has learned the songs taught by her father, she really deserves to be the eldest lady of my Tang family!" ”
As soon as the eldest lady of the Tang family was mentioned, the little girl suddenly became interested, sat up straight, looked at Tang Ming with big dark eyes, and said, "Daddy, Jasmine wants two younger sisters and no younger brothers, can you let the eldest mother and the second mother have younger sisters!" ”
This stumped Tang Ming, giving birth to a boy and a girl was not something he could grasp, so he hugged the little girl from his body without saying a word. got up and said, "Let's go, let's go and tell your eldest mother and second mother now, and let them give birth to your sister." ”
Obviously, this is not the first time that such a question has been asked by the little girl, and Tang Ming has many ways to deal with it now. But why didn't the little girl want a younger brother and only a younger sister, which made Tang Ming very curious, so he asked casually: "I said Jasmine, why don't you like your brother!" Think about it, how nice it would be for them to protect you when they grow up with a younger brother! ”
Xiao Jasmine left the tiger face, and snorted angrily: "Don't do it, Sanniang said, none of the men are good things, of course, except for my father and grandfather, they think." Don't be like Brother Tang, every time I go to play with him, I always change tricks to trick me away, and Jasmine won't play with him in the future, hum ....... ”
Tang Ming didn't understand the world of children at all, so he shook his head with a wry smile and stopped discussing it, pulling Jasmine and walking towards the dining hall. (To be continued.) )
