(Sorry, two chapters in a row, this chapter is sent to the back of one hundred and fifty-seven chapters)

At this time, Zheng Sen was not the man who later commanded thousands of troops, resisted the Manchus alone, and supported half of the country in the southeast and the Ming Dynasty, but just a scholar with a reputation for showing talent. Under the shade www.biquge.info of Zheng Zhilong's towering tree, Zheng Sen does everything he does every day to study and gain fame, and he is half-incomprehensible to many things at this time.

When Zheng Hongkui and Geert talked, Zheng Sen was silent throughout the whole process. But when Geert left, Zheng Sen finally couldn't help it.

"Uncle, why are you so polite to this Dutchman? Why remind him of the matter of Qiyun Firm! Zheng Sen was puzzled. In Zheng Sen's opinion, Qiyun Commercial Bank is his own person after all, but the Dutch are not of my race, not to mention that the Zheng family and the Dutch have clashed many times, Zheng Hongkui should not turn his elbow out.

Zheng Hongkui looked at his nephew and smiled with satisfaction, it was a good thing that Zheng Senken cared about such a thing.

"Da Mu, it's a good thing that you can think like this, although you are a scholar, you can't just know how to read every day, our Zheng family's career will be inherited by you after all!"

"I'm polite to the Dutch not because I'm afraid of them, but because now there is no need for our Zheng family to clash with the Dutch. Although our Zheng family ruled the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty and monopolized the maritime trade of the Ming Dynasty, they also set up too many enemies. Take you as an example, your grades in the county school can be described as excellent, but those teachings that can't see through our Zheng family just prevent you from becoming a student. Although your father and my eldest brother are in the position of the general army in Fujian, there is no way to deal with these civil officials, so I have no choice but to send you to Nanjing Guozijian to study. ”

"In the Ming Dynasty, the status of military attachés is too low, so your father did everything possible to send you to study and gain fame. You know, if it weren't for the current internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty, and the troops were involved by the Manchus outside the customs and the rogues in the Central Plains, the imperial court would definitely not let our Zheng family become bigger. ”

"The enemy of my Zheng family is not the Dutch, but within the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, with a great enemy like the Dutch, our Zheng family's fleet has the value of existence! ”

Zheng Hongkui's words rang in Zheng Sen's mind like a morning bell and a dusk drum. There were many things he hadn't thought about and didn't want to think about. Many things in the family are contrary to the teachings of the sages he has learned, the family country, the country, the country, is the home in front of the country? After still being at home, Zheng Sen fell into confusion.

"Those civil officials are the enemies of our Zheng family, and these maritime merchants of Qiyun Commercial Bank are not the enemies of my Zheng family, if they are allowed to rise, they will one day threaten the status of my Zheng family, and they must be curbed in the bud! But after all, it is inconvenient for my Zheng family to shoot directly, and there are Dutch people as pioneers, so why don't we do it? ”

"Does it have to be that way? Wouldn't it be faster for the enemy to hurt his relatives than to do this! Zheng Sen muttered.

"What is hatred and what is kinship? Ren Siqi is a native of Zhejiang, but he is not my fellow villager in Fujian. Didn't you see that those Zhejiang shipowners helped him one after another, and the fortune boats worth three or four thousand taels were sold to him for one thousand taels of silver. In the eyes of these Zhejiang people, they are a family! Zheng Hongkui's compassionate words rang in Zheng Sen's ears.

-------------------------------------

Due to the pressure exerted by the Zheng family, Matsuura Dong once again sent someone to warn Ren Siqi not to do any more assassinations in the future, and Ren Siqi could only reluctantly withdraw Yamada Futaro and other Japanese samurai.

"It seems that the Zheng family has made a compromise with the Dutch, and I'm afraid we won't be able to hide the matter of buying a ship and recruiting people for a long time." Song Liben said.

"The Dutch know it, as long as we continue to grow, even if they do, there is nothing they can do. As long as the Zheng family does not openly stand with the Dutch. Ren Siqi said with a smile, now the strength of Qiyun Commercial Bank is growing day by day, and in the past few days, it has purchased two three-masted ships from the owner of the Ming ship at a low price, and recruited more than 200 sailors and wandering warriors. Now there are more than ten big ships that Ren Siqi can control, and the crew and wandering warriors add up to six or seven hundred, this strength makes Ren Siqi more and more confident, and he can't wait to fight with the Dutch now!

"Owner, we can hire people to buy ships, and the Dutch can do the same!" Song Liben's words made Ren Siqi calm down again. There were a large number of pirates in the waters of Japan, and as long as the Dutch were willing to spend money, they would be able to recruit a large number of thugs.

Ren Siqi suddenly found that now the war between himself and the Dutch was not only a battle between ships, but also a struggle between silver and silver! In the past two months, Qiyun Commercial Bank has spent money like flowing water, and has spent 1450,000 taels of silver, according to this flowering method, when the northwest monsoon rises and fights with the Dutch, half of the silver earned by this sea trade will have to be spent!

"Master, that old cow is clamoring to see you." A crew member hurried to Ren Siqi's cabin to report.

Lao Niu was sent to the ship by Li Qiankuan, the prefect of Hangzhou, in order to manage the accounts of this transaction. These days, he was extremely dissatisfied with Ren Siqi's behavior, and he did not discuss the trade of raw silk and other goods, and now he began to spend money lavishly. In Lao Niu's opinion, the silver on the ship is at least half of Li Qiankuan, and Ren Siqi must ask for his consent to spend money so lavishly!

"Lord Ren, you've spent a lot of money these days. I want to remind you that there are 200,000 taels of silver on this ship that belong to our Lord Li, and I don't care if you spend your own money, and you can't touch a penny of our Lord Li's silver! The old cow tilted his face, his nostrils turned to the sky, and said to Ren Siqi arrogantly.

"Is it all over? When I'm done, get out of here, I don't have the time to deal with you right now! Ren Siqi said lightly.

"You!" Lao Niu's face turned red all of a sudden, and he pointed at Ren Siqi and stammered almost speechless: "You, how dare you talk to me like this, I'm from Governor Li's mansion!" ”

"So what, you must know that this is not Hangzhou, but Japan. I'm in a hurry, and I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish in minutes! Ren Siqi's words were very calm, but they were full of deterrence, and Lao Niu turned pale with fright, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. Since he didn't plan to give the silver to Li Qiankuan at all, why should he be polite to his people!

Looking at the back of the old cow leaving in a hurry, Song Liben, who was standing on the side, suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

"Lord, I have an idea, see if we can do this." Song Liben leaned into Ren Siqi's ear and whispered.

"It's a good idea, but this one? It's not very easy to do! Ren Siqi touched his nose and was embarrassed.

"How about that scar-faced Japanese samurai? His little master is on our boat, and he doesn't dare to have a different heart! Song Liben proposed.

Ren Siqi pondered carefully for a while, and a smile appeared on his face: "Not bad." Old Song, you are very good! Ren Siqi patted Song Liben's shoulder and laughed. (To be continued.) )
