Feng Er's restaurant "Drunken Immortal Residence" is in the most lively place in Dengzhou, I have been here once, there are indeed a lot of people coming and going here, the business of the restaurant is also very good, today is also very lively, the downstairs is also full, and the courteous little two are shuttling back and forth in the crowd.

The arrival of Yuruo and I didn't attract much attention, Xiao Er and the boss didn't ask us anything, we were stopped at the door by a big man in black clothes, at first I thought it was to find fault, but when I asked, I found out that it was Feng Er's subordinates.

With a little excitement, I followed the big man all the way upstairs, and Yurou walking beside me was very calm, but I seemed to be able to hear my heart beating violently.

I want to see it, but in Chinese history, after Wang Zhi, the second super maritime merchant who controls the China Sea, this person's maritime empire is beyond the reach of all Chinese merchants in later generations. The thought of meeting such a figure was thrilled to meet him by his outstanding commercial skills and courage in defeating the Spanish and Portuguese merchants who were running rampant all over the world, leaving their commercial spheres without access to the China Sea.

Walked to a box with the word "Tian" hanging in front of the box, and the big man who led the way immediately arched his hand and said: "I can only bring it here, and the rest of the two are at your own convenience!" With that, he turned and left.

"Big brother, are you alright?" Yurou, who noticed something unusual, looked at me with concern on her face.

I'm dizzy, am I so excited? Isn't he just a businessman? I'm still the commander of the state guard of Damingdeng, although I almost fainted without excitement when Yurou asked me to accompany her at the beginning.

Calm down, calm down! I let out a deep breath, then looked at Yurou beside me, and nodded slightly to her, indicating that I was calm. Coming here today is not only to meet the master of this maritime empire, but also to help Yurou explore the bottom line of cooperation.

Pushing open the door, Feng Er was already waiting in the door, in addition to Feng Er, there was also a person sitting on the big table in the box, he was wearing a red embroidered robe made of fine lake brocade, and a blue silk vest was covered outside, and a few rich flowers were woven with gold thread, and the face of that person was extremely good and extremely rich. The whole person is bejeweled, but he looks like a nouveau riche next door.

Seeing us come in, Feng Er immediately greeted us, and after saluting each other, Feng Er pointed to the person sitting at the table and introduced: "General Zhang, Miss Ling, this is my master, name, I don't need to introduce it more!" ”

I just wanted to clasp my fists and salute, but Yurou next to me sneered lightly and said, "Boss Li is really a nobleman, if you don't want to see us juniors, forget it, why do you need to make these false things?" Although Ling Yurou is a junior, she also sincerely wants to cooperate with Boss Li, since Boss Li doesn't want to cooperate, then we will go back to the way before, I just hope that Boss Li will not embarrass our Ling family's fleet at sea, and I will pay Boss Li the thirty percent of the profits! ”

Saying that, Yurou turned around and was about to go out, with a thin anger on her face, she must have been really angry, I was also stunned, and suddenly understood that the person in front of me was not Li Dan, no wonder I thought it was weird just now, but how did Yurou see it?

When I was wondering in my heart, I heard the sound of applause coming from the box, followed by a loud voice: "Although Miss Ling is young, she is very intelligent, and this little trick of the old man really can't deceive this ingenious woman!" ”

Then, the wall on the left just moved, it turned out that there was another secret door in this room, and the secret door was gently pushed, and an old man came out of it, and Feng Er and the rich old man sitting on the table also immediately saluted the person in front of him, and his attitude was also respectful.

The old man who just came in looked a little thin, his hair and beard were slightly gray, but he was very neatly combed, wearing a slightly shabby dress, the clothes seemed to have been washed many times, slightly white, and his body was even patched in some places.

"Back then, I was also ambitious and wanted to serve the country through the scientific examination, but I couldn't do it, so I had to go to the sea for business. After expressing his feelings, Li Dan looked at me and Yurou with a smile, and then clasped his fists and saluted: "It's Li Dan below, how offended just now!" Please bear with me! After all, there was a lesson from Wang Zhizhi before, and I really didn't dare to believe the people of the government! What's more, it is still to destroy the people of the Japanese overnight! He looked at me, and the smile on his face grew even bigger.

Yu Rou gently said a blessing, which was considered a return of courtesy, and then we sat down at the invitation of Li Dan, Li Dan sat on the main seat, Yu Rou and I sat next to him, and Feng Er and the rich old man before stood behind Li Dan respectfully.

I really didn't expect that Li Dan, who was calling for wind and rain on China's sea routes, turned out to be such a polite old man, thinking so in his heart, he didn't have the excitement just now, most of those who went to the sea didn't want to go to the sea voluntarily.

"As for Miss Ling's proposal, I already know it clearly through Miss Ling's letter, and I didn't have any other meaning when I came here today, first, I thought that someone would come up with this genius idea, and second, I wanted to talk about the specific details of it!" Li Dan looked at Yu Rou with a smile, and sure enough, this businessman is a genius who can see Yu Rou's idea, no wonder he can build such a huge maritime empire, this Li Dan is not a simple person!

"Boss Li is also a senior, I think you should also carefully scrutinize it clearly, I have made all my goals and thoughts clear, now it depends on your attitude!" Confronting this business old-timer, Yurou did not have the slightest timidity or excitement, she seemed very calm, and this calm emotion made me immediately infected.

Li Dan seemed to appreciate Yurou's calmness very much, he nodded with great satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Those businessmen who negotiated with me in the past were all trying their best to praise me, but they couldn't come up with anything convincing to me, the last time I saw Miss Ling's proposal, I thought what kind of businessman could come up with such a plan, but I didn't expect it to be such a little girl with a blue heart!" ”

"Boss Li has won the prize!" Yurou smiled lightly and replied.

"It's not just talent, Miss Ling, the courage and courage of you to sell your land and property to cooperate with me is also something that I Li admires!" Compared with Yurou's calmness, Li Dan was a little excited, looking like Yurou was a senior, and Li Dan was a junior who came to admire.

"But Li Dan still has a problem here!" As he spoke, Li Dan's words suddenly changed, he looked at me, and the smile on his face immediately faded: "I heard that Miss Ling is so active in cooperating with Zai Xia this time, and her main purpose is to raise military salaries for this General Zhang's Shenji Battalion, is there such a thing?" ”

As soon as Li Dan spoke, the atmosphere in the box immediately changed completely! Sure enough, he is worthy of being a treacherous and cunning businessman, not only did he find out Yurou's whereabouts clearly, but he even knew about the affairs of the Shenji Battalion, and my men subconsciously touched the sword I was carrying, and Feng Er and the rich old man on the opposite side were also immediately alerted, and it seemed that they should be masters.

"That's true!" Yurou didn't seem to be aware of the dangerous atmosphere in the air, and in the face of Li Dan's question, she didn't seem to shy away: "My eldest brother is entrusted by my father and my father-in-law to train the Shenji Battalion, since this is the case, I naturally want to help my eldest brother solve the difficulties!" ”

Several people in the room were stunned, especially Li Dan, who was also there immediately, no one expected this girl to be so outspoken, no matter what, the lack of funds of the Shenji Battalion can't be taken immediately, you must know that the Shenji Battalion also had a battle with the Japanese a few days ago, and Li Dan has very close contacts with the Japanese side!

"Hahahaha!" Li Dan suddenly stroked his palms and laughed, breaking the silent atmosphere in the air: "Okay, the old man is a person who likes to be straightforward, this time the Tokugawa family of the Wa Kingdom entrusted me to inquire about the Ming Dynasty before I left, after the death of the old turtle of the Tokugawa family, the little turtle even dared to call the old man, even when the old turtle was alive, he was also respectful to me!" General Zhang fought well on the dark island, and he really breathed a bad breath for the people of the Ming Dynasty! Come! Cheers please! After speaking, Li Dan picked up the wine glass in his hand and took a sip at my neck.

What's going on? I was baffled by Li Dan's sudden action, so I just picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in the glass.

After Li Dan finished drinking, it seemed that the interest also followed with this glass of wine, he smiled and said: "Since Miss Ling thinks so highly of me Li Dan, Li Dan will naturally not refute your face, about this matter of the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce, I have also thought about it clearly, I will first take out 500,000 taels as the advance funds and hand them over to Miss Ling as the start-up capital of the Chamber of Commerce, and then there will be 1.5 million taels to be delivered to the girl's money village in three phases, as long as the girl takes care of the domestic affairs of the Ming Dynasty, the overseas affairs will naturally be solved in the future, If we recklessly put all our money into the Chamber of Commerce, we can't guarantee that the imperial court won't notice us! ”

Yurou's face suddenly stretched, from just now to now, what she has been waiting for is this sentence, she smiled and said: "Boss Li is so polite, it is an honor for the younger generation to be able to cooperate with Boss Li!" I can only invest 500,000 taels of money in the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce, and when the time comes, I will divide it by one to four! ”

Li Dan smiled and shook his head, it seemed that he was not satisfied with this share, Yurou and I looked at each other, and we didn't know what this old man was going to do. This sharing ratio is already very reasonable, isn't this old man still satisfied?

Just when Yurou and I were shocked, Li Dan nodded at the rich old man behind him, the old man immediately understood, and then entered through the secret door next door, and after a while, a wooden box was brought and placed in front of me and Yurou.

"Let's open it and take a look!" Li Dan smiled and pointed to the wooden box in front of us, signaling that we could open it.

What the hell does this old man want to do, it can't be like some martial arts novels, what kind of mechanism is installed in this wooden box, just when I was skeptical, Yurou had opened the wooden box without hesitation, and before I could think about it, I immediately protected Yurou's front, but there was no flying needle poison in the expectation, and the wooden box was filled with a thick stack of paper, and it was full of words.

Yurou picked up a piece of paper in the wooden box, looked at it carefully, and then looked at me with a questioning face, and then looked at Li Dan with a smile on the other side with a questioning face: "Isn't this the title deed for me to sell my land?" How could it be with you? ”

Li Dan stroked his beard with a smile and said, "These things are your family's dowry, and you can't give them to others if you say anything!" ”

Dowry, what does this old man mean?

"Miss Yurou, there is a very important condition for the old man to cooperate with you this time! If you can't agree to the old man, I can't agree to this cooperation! Li Dan's eyes immediately became very gentle when he looked at Yurou, as if he was looking at a priceless treasure.

I'm rubbing, what does this old man want to do? I immediately became alert, this guy didn't want Yurou to use himself as a price to achieve cooperation between the two sides! How is this possible, even if I am fucking poor, I can't let Yurou do such a thing!

"Disagree!" Before Yurou could react, I immediately stood up from my seat and looked at Li Dan, who seemed to be very innocent, with an annoyed expression: "There's nothing nonsense to talk about, let's leave now!" Before Li Dan could speak, I immediately pulled Yurou beside me and walked out.

The moment she took Yurou's hand, Yurou's little hand shook slightly, and then she obediently stood up with me and walked out together

This dead old man knows that he is not a good guy, if I let Yurou agree to this, wouldn't I just sell Yurou? Even if you die, you can't do this kind of thing, don't say that Yurou is the daughter of Master Lingyun, even in my heart, I absolutely can't agree with it.

"Slowly, slowly!" Li Dan was made laughed by my actions, and hurriedly shouted: "I just want to accept a righteous daughter, General Zhang doesn't have to be so excited!" ”

Righteous daughter? My footsteps immediately stopped, and then I looked back at Li Dan, Feng Er and the rich old man behind him didn't seem to expect it, and their faces were full of consternation.

My head didn't turn away for a while, this old man and Yurou are also the first time they have met, how can I say that I want to accept Yurou as a righteous daughter! What's the situation, is this old man a daughter?

"General Zhang is thinking too much!" Li Dan smiled lightly, and looked at me with a little more kindness: "But your performance just now also reassured me a lot, I thought that the general was a useless person, but he will never give in to the righteousness, and he will definitely not disappoint Yurou in the future!" ”

What kind of evil did this old man fall for, why did he suddenly want to accept Yurou as a righteous daughter? Looking at Li Dan's emotional face, I really couldn't figure out what he was thinking?

"To tell you the truth, since I saw Miss Ling's letter, I have admired Miss Ling's intelligence very much, and I have a daughter under me, who is as smart as the girl, but at that time I had just started doing business, running around, and I was not able to accompany her more, and then I died at the age of Miss Ling, so I have been haunted by it for so many years, and I deeply hate myself for not being a father, so I had the idea of accepting Miss Ling as a righteous daughter a few days ago." Li Dan seemed to recall the old events, and his face was full of regret and sadness.

"Miss Ling, whether you want to be an old man or a righteous woman, the old man will fully support the affairs of the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce, and the operation of the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce, the old man will not interfere more, the old man believes that with your wisdom, you will be able to develop the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce into a huge situation, as for the matter of sharing, I can also ignore the one-to-four division, and the two sides can divide it by fifty-fifty!" Li Dan hugged his fists and said: "This matter has nothing to do with the matter of the righteous daughter, it is a decision made by the old man who admires the genius of the girl, if the girl thinks it is appropriate, I can immediately send someone to draft the contract between the two parties." ”

This old man doesn't look like he's telling a lie, he wouldn't really want to accept Yurou as a righteous daughter because of his daughter's affairs!

"Thank you seniors for your appreciation, but this is a big deal, I still have to think about it carefully for a while, as for these contracts, since I have sold them, they are no longer mine, I hope that the seniors can collect them!" Yurou smiled lightly, she was not the slightest moved by these rich conditions, and the smile on her face was also very calm.

Although Li Dan was disappointed, he just smiled and nodded in understanding: "The old man suddenly said so, no wonder Miss Ling, you are like this, since this is the case, I don't want to say more, Feng Er, Liu Cheng, you take Miss Ling to get the contract first, I have something to say with this General Zhang." ”

Feng Er and the old man named Liu Da nodded respectfully, and then walked up to Yu Rou respectfully, and made a "please" gesture, Yu Rou looked at the two of them, and then at me, as if asking if I should leave.

I nodded, this Li Dan broke everyone apart, just wanted to talk to me, and I also took this opportunity to probe this old man's tone and see what he wanted to do?

Yuruo nodded obediently, and then followed Feng Er and them out of the door.

"Yurou seems to listen to you!" As soon as the door closed, Li Dan smiled and pointed to the seat opposite him and motioned for me to sit down.

"What the hell are you trying to do?" I looked at him and asked almost sharply, although Li Dan's conditions were very generous, but I still have doubts about Li Dan's abnormal behavior, he can't be so good to Yurou just because of his daughter who died young, and I must not let anything hurt Yurou.

"Huh!" Li Dan smiled lightly, signaling that I didn't need to be so excited, and continued: "Actually, it was a long time ago that I planned to accept Miss Ling as a righteous daughter!" ”

"You knew her before?" I looked at Li Dan in front of me and asked.

Li Danlang smiled and nodded, that's why I hate those rich people, I don't like to play tricks, although Yurou around me is also a rich person, but I haven't seen her like that!

"The real head of the Ling family, who has been in control of such a huge industry since he was a teenager, not only did not collapse, but let the Ling family slowly grow, and there is probably no businessman in the southeast who has not heard the words Ling Yurou. She's definitely an outlier among us old business men! ”

Listening to what Li Dan said, Yurou is much more famous than I imagined, but think about it, a girl who has been in control of a huge family since she was fifteen or sixteen years old is still crisscrossing in this chaotic shopping mall, I will also pay attention to this girl if I change it!

This is the so-called genius!

"Actually, I've wanted to cooperate with Yurou for a long time, but firstly, I have never had the opportunity, and secondly, Yurou doesn't seem to have any intention of cooperating! Naturally, I won't go and scold myself! Li Dan looked at me with a smile and said, "Until this time, Yurou actually came to me for cooperation!" ”

"You say, don't keep screaming in the rain, I sound disgusting!" I looked at the old man with a smile on his face at the mention of Yurou, and I immediately felt the urge to rush up and pull out the old man's beard and beat him up. "Cooperation is cooperation, why do you want to accept Yurou as a righteous daughter!"

"Because only Yurou can inherit everything from me!" Li Dan stood up suddenly, his eyes staring at me.

I was so frightened by his sudden movement that I looked at him for some reason, wondering what he meant!

"I have been going to the sea since I was twenty-seven years old, and I have gone through a lot of hardships to have such a situation today, this year I am sixty years old, I have mastered the sea route that the Japanese and the Hongyi people dare not think of, and the merchants of the Ming Dynasty can freely enter and exit the ocean of the Ming Dynasty through this route, but the Japanese and the Hongyi people have been watching my route, I have to say that these people who have been with the ocean all their lives like the ocean more than our Ming people, if one day I die, they will definitely regain control of this sea belonging to the Ming Dynasty, Therefore, in order to maintain this route, it is necessary to have a genius merchant who lives in the town, and her talents are enough to control all the markets in the whole of the South Seas. I didn't think there was any, but since I met Yurou, I knew she was the genius merchant who could control all merchants! So I hope she will let her inherit my inheritance after I die! In this way, I and countless Daming sea merchants have worked hard, blood and sweat to establish these sea routes belonging to Ming merchants can be safe and sound. ”

Li Dan looked at me, and said all his inner words in one breath, I could see from the sadness and unwillingness in the corners of his eyes, how much hard work and tears he had paid for his current foundation, I suddenly understood why he wanted Yurou to inherit her career, because maybe only Yurou, a business genius, can support such a big scene, and be able to maintain the situation that the Ming maritime merchants of the past generations are desperately grabbing, rather than like Wang Zhi, the situation of the Ming maritime merchants was Spain, Portugal, Japan is even the same as the Korean-fresh merchants.

This is Li Dan's career, and he wants Yurou to maintain his career instead of letting it be destroyed.

This cooperation is just a secondary thing, and Li Dan's real intention is to hand over all his business to Yurou to take care of.

"I see!" I nodded slightly.

Li Dan seemed surprised that I understood him so quickly, and in his impression, I should be like those officials of the Ming Dynasty, old-fashioned, corrupt, and clinging to the fields at home.

"Don't worry, I won't let your career go to waste!" This businessman in front of him gave everything he had to the sea, and finally established everything that belonged to the Chinese on the sea, and as a latecomer, he should not waste all this.

Li Dan froze for a moment, and then suddenly looked at me carefully with a very strange expression as if he had found something, the smile on his face slowly froze, and then he hugged his hands tightly.

"Please!"

**********

"Send Miss!" Outside the door of the restaurant, Feng Erbi bowed respectfully to Yurou, Yurou just smiled and nodded, and then followed me out of the door.

The afternoon sun is not dazzling, and the warm sunlight caresses my face, making me feel very comfortable.

"Big brother, what the hell are you doing?" Yurou looked at me with question marks on her face.

"You just promise Senior Li first!" I looked at her with a smile, although I hadn't officially agreed to Li Dan to be his daughter-in-law, Li Dan had already instructed his subordinates to treat Yurou as the eldest lady, which made Yurou very uncomfortable, but it was me, urging Yurou vigorously.

"Nice weather today! Let's go see the sea! I looked at Yurou beside me and proposed.

"Huh?"

For some reason, Yurou followed me, I tilted my head and breathed as much as I could, the air smelled of the sea breeze.
