Since becoming the boss of the mercenaries, Shi Lang's motivation has changed greatly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the past, although Shi Lang was a general, Zheng Chenggong's salary was also good, but in the end he was paid a dead salary.

If you do a good job, you just have a little more credit and a high position.

But these are not of much interest to the money-greedy Shi Lang at all.

He wants money, gold and silver, which he can see and touch.

It's just that when you are a general in the Zheng family's army, the soldiers' salaries are paid by specialized personnel.

The captured booty had to be divided among the soldiers, and they had to hand over a share, and in the end they could only get a small share.

Every day, I just risk the investigation of those inspectors, thinking that I can withhold more money.

This practice is rare and dangerous, and I don't see how many soldiers have been swept to the end just because of the spoils of the soldiers.

That's like now, if you catch those stupid natives, you can sell them to the generals.

A good slave can be sold for ten taels, and if he gives his subordinates five taels, he can also get half of the profit.

There is no more lucrative profit in the world.

In the past six months, his subordinates have captured more than 21,000 slaves and sold them for more than 100,000 yuan, deducting the labor expenses of their subordinates, the security expenses of the dead and wounded, and the expenses for purchasing weapons, and they have earned more than 30,000 taels of silver.

In order to expand the profits, the number of mercenaries has long been not a thousand.

Many veterans who retired from the Zheng family army couldn't get used to a life without passion, and most of them joined Shi Lang's mercenary army under the name of "Fuwei Dart Game".

The Fuwei Dart Bureau established itself in Luzon, and Shi Lang began to slowly expand its business to Indonesia and other islands.

Shi Lang watched the money come in every day, and he no longer led troops to capture slaves.

Arrange for several leaders of the mercenaries to lead the team.

Shi Lang was just counting slaves in Manila, doing good logistics, and being addicted to excessive money in and out.

As the indigenous population of Luzon dwindled, mercenaries increasingly searched the outside world.

For a while, in Manila, in addition to those merchants, they were basically Chinese.

Under the Nanyang Fleet led by Xu Long, those ghosts did not dare to come to Manila to make trouble.

Manila has a sense of seclusion away from the chaos of war.

At the same time, thanks to the support of Fujian, the lives of the migrants have gradually stabilized, and Manila's economy has gradually prospered.

As the economy developed, infrastructure construction was put on Manila's agenda.

This infrastructure requires a lot of labor, and now Luzon is not well developed, and a lot of fertile land is not developed.

When I think of thousands of miles of fertile soil, tens of millions of dollars have not been developed.

The people who came to Luzon couldn't help but scold those damned natives for being ****** lazy, so good land is wasted like this, they will sleep lazy, let women work, it is simply not a son of man.

No wonder you can only be a slave!

The development of Luzon is inseparable from labor, Zheng Tai is still worried about where to find the Chinese youth, where is willing to let the Chinese labor force do the tiring work of paving roads and building bridges.

In the end, the hard work fell on the slaves.

Zheng Tai just placed a lot of orders, and Shi Lang was also ready to do a big job.

On this day, Zheng Chenggong's messenger military order reached Shi Lang's hands.

After Shi Lang received the military order, his brow immediately twisted into a big pimple.

Shi Lang thought to himself: What do you mean? Isn't this crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?

I've done a good job, bringing the mercenaries to a good job, and I've seen the scale grow bigger and bigger. Immediately send someone else to receive it, and let me be some kind of whitebeard pirate, isn't this a deliberate attempt to empty me?

The more Shi Lang thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and at night he was drinking alone in the tent, and suddenly heard the sergeant report that Xu Long was coming.

The pirates in Nanyang are rampant, and the maritime merchants are also thieves, if it were not for the suppression of the Nanyang Fleet led by Xu Long, Shi Lang would definitely not be so alive.

In addition, the captured slaves also need to be brought back by Xu Long's Nanyang fleet when they return to Daming to replenish.

So the relationship between Shi Lang and Xu Long is very good.

Hearing that Xu Long was coming, Shi Lang hurriedly asked people to invite him in.

Shi Lang thought to himself: Not bad. This time, I have someone to drink with.

Shi Lang hurriedly called someone to invite Xu Long in, and asked people to add a pair of cups and chopsticks.

In Xu Long's account, he couldn't help but congratulate: "Shi Lang Wishing you prosperity!" ”

When Shi Lang heard this, he didn't fight anymore, and said to Xu Long angrily: "What kind of wealth!" If I go, the way to get rich is gone, and the wealth is broken! This Fuwei dart game also belongs to someone else, and the income of these slaves is gone. I'm empty of people and money! And the most hateful thing is to ask me to be a pirate again! Listen, is this the work of a meritorious man? ”

Xu Long poured Shi Lang a full glass of wine and said to Shi Lang: "Honorable Marquis, this is a bad word!" The general has always been benevolent, righteous and kind, how can he be mean to a meritorious man! You have made a lot of money this time, and it is the general who sees your hard work and achievements, so he specially treats you and sends you to be this pirate! ”

Shi Langyi frowned and asked suspiciously, "How can you say that I have a big hair?" Isn't there even a chance to catch slaves when I leave? ”

Xu Long said with a smile: "Haven't you heard of the gold belt of murder and arson?" “

Shi Lang hurriedly asked, "I've heard of it, so what?" ”

Xu Long took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Think about it, after you become a pirate, you can rob the merchant ships of those ghosts at will." You haven't been in the South Seas for a short time, and the merchant ships that come to trade aren't worth hundreds of thousands! I grabbed one casually and sold it, zozole, how can you make forty or fifty thousand, wouldn't it be higher than your annual income. Grab two or three, then you can be a rich man! ”

After Xu Long took a bite of the meat, he continued: "Not counting the goods, there are more and more people doing maritime trade now. This sailing ship that can sail far away is also priced at one price a day. It's worth a lot of money to grab a sailboat, and besides, if you become a pirate, you can stop doing your old job. You don't want to think about the crew, the sailors, the sailors, the ones who are not people, the ones who can't work. If you catch it, if someone wants to sell it, if no one dares to buy it, you will sell it directly in the mine, and there will be no daylight, who knows! “

After Xu Long finished saying this, Shi Lang's heart was pounding.

Seeing the greedy gaze in Shi Lang's eyes, his eyes were still rolling vigorously, Xu Long understood him in the past six months chatting with Shi Lang.

Immediately knew what Shi Lang was thinking again, Xu Long hurriedly reminded Shi Lang: "Shi Lang, the ship that robbed those ghosts was ordered by the general, even if someone denounces it, the general will protect you." However, if you dare to use your brains to rob the merchant ships of China, as long as the inquiry is true, you will be punished for the crime of murdering the lives of others. Don't do anything crooked! ”

Don't say it, this matter was really said by Xu Long.

This Shi Lang was really using his brains just now, preparing to rob all the ships that could be seen at sea in the future. The crew were all taken prisoner and sold as slaves.

But now Shi Lang also knows that this idea is impossible.

At that moment, Shi Lang smiled awkwardly and said, "How come? After all, the Honorable Marquis is also a Chinese, how could he treat his own people like this, Brother Xu thought too much. Come. Set the wine, set the wine. I want to drink with Brother Xu. ”

After a while, the banquet was set. Shi Lang drank with Xu Long and gossiped.

Shi Lang, who was full of joy, continued to persuade Xu Long to drink flatteringly, while pondering how to take advantage of this opportunity to rob openly and make his wealth greatly expand.

Drinking and drinking, under Shi Lang's repeated persuasion, Xu Long quickly fell asleep on the table.

Shi Lang saw that Xu Long was asleep, and hurriedly called a few times, but he didn't wake up.

However, Shi Lang didn't care.

Anyway, I know how to make money.

At this time, Shi Lang was already intoxicated with the beautiful money scene.

But what Shi Lang didn't know was that after Shi Lang ordered someone to send Xu Long into the wing.

Xu Longna rolled over and got up, smiling non-stop.

Since Xu Long became the commander of the naval forces of the Nanyang Fleet, those Luzon who did not respect him, and the daily banquet has not been interrupted.

The amount of alcohol cultivated in the wine tank, that is, Xu Long really wanted to get drunk, but it was not an easy task.

Xu Long, who successfully completed the task of appeasing Shi Lang, sent someone to report to Zheng Tai after returning to the sailor camp the next day. (To be continued.) )
