Li Fugui saw that Yang Liu was so generous, and immediately saw the opportunity to make a fortune, he introduced the people he knew with military backgrounds, whether it was the navy or the army, to Yang Liu, and even mixed with some craftsmen who knew how to make muskets and cast artillery, as long as the personnel related to the war he introduced, Yang Liu did not refuse to accept all of them, in order to prevent Li Fugui from joining parallel goods, he explained that the remuneration would be given to the place, and those who did not have the skills said would not be paid for their own return.

Li Fugui agreed, secretly happy in his heart, after so many years of traveling overseas, he finally made a fortune, and sure enough, he named Fugui and became rich in China.

Just introducing fees and mentioning achievements is a great wealth, and in the future, if you make meritorious contributions to get Chinese land, build your own estate on it, and you can enjoy your old age in peace.

He did not deceive Yang Liu, most of the Portuguese overseas are people with dreams, both capable and courageous, and they are not satisfied with the status quo in their own country before they run out to pan for gold, all of them are versatile, almost all of them have engaged in a variety of professions, many people are soldiers when they pick up guns, and they are missionaries when they have no fight.

Both sides were very happy when everything was negotiated, Yang Liu gave Li Fugui the first task by the way, collecting books imported from overseas into China in Australia, Li Fugui would not let go of this opportunity to make a small amount of money, and launched his people to carry out a book search operation among foreigners in Macao, as long as it was not a Chinese book, and soon collected many books of different categories, many people were moved by Li Fugui's thirst for knowledge, and presented him with books, which he sold to Yang Liu.

Yang Liu also purchased some scarce items shipped from overseas, and filled the three large ships to the brim.

The day of setting sail has arrived, Li Fugui's people have also gathered, Yang Liu looked at the more than 100 black, black, white and white eagle-nosed people with deep eyes, although the handsome man likes talents, this Yiren doesn't know if the handsome can accept it, and it is indeed a little strange to look at them.

Under the monsoon wind, the sea ship went all the way north, and arrived at Liuheng Island in Ningbo after ten days.

Yang Liu ordered the cargo and most of the well-made artillery to be unloaded, and the four small Fu ships newly built at the Zhoujialin Shipyard also came to rendezvous.

The grain purchased from Songjiang Mansion has long been prepared, and it took several days to load all the ships with grain, and the owner of the big ship couldn't help but say to Yang Liu privately when he watched Yang Liu load grain, although there is a price difference between the north and the south of the grain, but in this way, the grain is transported in the past, and the profit is not much, and it is not as high as the profit of transporting other goods, Yang Liu knows this truth, but Zhang Chu said that he will make money in the past, Yang Liu will not doubt it, and now he has an almost superstitious trust in Zhang Chu. I couldn't say this explicitly, so I had to thank the owner of the ship for his kindness, saying that the grain was used for another purpose.

Li Fugui followed Yang Liu and kept inquiring about Yang Liu's next plan, he hoped to fight in the morning so as to earn more rewards.

Yang Liu asked them to stay and train the soldiers on the island, saying that they could not be taken to the battlefield without an order.

Li Fugui followed Yang Liu and kept pleading, saying that he wanted to see the war in the East.

Yang Liu had no choice but to leave the other mercenaries on the island and continue to the north with Li Fugui. The contact between the two during the voyage for more than ten days has become very familiar, Li Fugui kept asking this and that around Yang Liu, and Yang Liu also learned a lot of novel knowledge from him. found that this Li Fugui is really rich in knowledge of navigation and warfare.

At the beginning of August of the second year of Chongzhen, the ship entered the Bohai Sea, and the ship was moored in the open sea of Tianjin Wei, and Yang Liu took people ashore in a small boat.

After finding out the situation, he went up and down in the guard, and said that the ship carrying the goods was stopped in the open sea by the wind and waves, and the ship was only some grain, hoping to be able to unload the goods at the wharf.

The grain on the ship was transported ashore and transported to the counties around Tianjinwei, where a large number of cold weapons and small artillery were transported ashore and rented some secret places for storage.

Yang Liu sent people to sell grain in various grain stores, but the price was extremely high, and the grain stores remembered these Shaanxi Yankees who did not understand the market, but no one bought their grain.

Yang Liu was not in a hurry, but the people who sent the grain sellers went to the grain stores from time to time.

Yang Liu himself was not idle, walking all over Beijing and Tianjin to find skilled craftsmen, mobilizing a group of craftsmen who had difficulties in life to make a living in the south, and Yang Liu placed them in Tianjin Wei and waited to go to sea together.

At the beginning of November, the Jin army plundered Beijing, and the price of grain soared, and the grain merchants hoarded grain and did not sell it. He also let out the wind that there were a small number of weapons, and if the rich wanted to use them for self-protection, they could sell them, and the rich families in various villages and towns had to pay money to buy weapons.

Knives, guns, muskets, and small artillery were secretly sold. The magistrates of the counties also heard the news of the artillery and sent people to look for the willows, who had returned to the big ship, and asked for the cannons, so they hired the ships themselves with the silver to transport them to the big ships. Zhang Chu once specifically told him to ensure safety even if he couldn't sell it. The character of officials everywhere is not credible, especially when it comes to money.

The county order is responsible for defending the land, and it is death to be broken through by the Houjin soldiers, and the whole family is to abandon the city and flee to death, and the desire to survive defeats the greed for money. had to come up with money to buy artillery from Yang Liu.

After selling out all the artillery, Yang Liu took the ship to anchor, and the big ship continued to go north to the coast of Changli to wait, sent people ashore to rent a boat, and then went to find the security army going north, and the two sides got in touch in Hebei, agreed on the meeting place, and finally waited for Zhang Chu today.

Zhang Chu listened to Yang Liu's report while watching the soldiers load the supplies, and heard that Yang Liu not only bought the supplies but also hired the Portuguese, he was very interested, and the materials were almost shipped, Zhang Chu took a small boat and Yang Liu boarded one of the big ships.

Li Fugui walked back and forth on the boat, scratching his ears and cheeks, and Yang Liu easily did not dare to let him go ashore, saying that he was afraid of scaring the people. These days have choked him enough, and he is about to see the big boss, and whether he can make a fortune is at this time, which makes him even more uneasy.

As soon as Zhang Chu got on the boat, Li Fugui hurriedly ran over and said to Zhang Chu like a Chinese: "Hello adults, I am Li Fugui, and I am willing to serve you." ”

Li Fugui is still very proud of his name, and the Chinese who gave him this name told him: Li is a big surname in China, you can find your family everywhere, and Fugui represents wealth and status. It was a bit difficult to recognize his family in his image, but he now smelled rich. The grain and weapons on the willow ship were exchanged for real money, and now the large amount of materials loaded on the ship shows that Zhang Chu is rich, and it is only a matter of time before he makes a fortune with such a boss.

"Hello, Mr. Lee." Zhang Chu greeted him politely.

In the era before Zhang Chu's crossing, there were very few people who used wealth as a name, but it did not prevent Zhang Chu from having a sense of intimacy with this name, and how many generations of wealth and nobility that Chinese had pursued were realized in later generations, while some people chased fashion and gave themselves various foreign names. I have crossed it once, this time I must let foreigners learn Chinese, and one day I will also get a Chinese level four or six for them to take the exam, and those who fail will not be allowed to graduate, and one person will give them a Chinese name. Perhaps this Mr. Li Fugui will become their idol, and all kinds of Fugui will become popular Chinese names abroad.

After the materials and personnel were loaded, Zhang Chu gave the order to lift the anchor, and the big ship sailed towards the vast sea. Standing on the bow of the ship blowing the sea breeze, Zhang Chu thought of the two people standing at the bow of the boat, and quickly drove the two of them out of his mind, although there are no icebergs off the coast of China, but it is still unlucky to think of these two people when sailing.

Li Fugui consciously followed behind Zhang Chu, ready to explain to Zhang Chu to show his nautical knowledge, but before he could open his mouth, Zhang Chu's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly ran back to the cabin, and after a while, there was a heart-rending vomiting sound from the warehouse. Zhang Chu was seasick, he didn't want to be seen in that embarrassed way, Yang Liu hid outside the warehouse and snickered, spit, spit, it would be fine.
