[New Year, New Weather, Crab wishes all book friends a good New Year and all the best!] Family Safety! Ryoma spirit! Money! 】

"Childe is really a good person," Zhao Hai sighed while pouring tea for Chen Shangren with his uninjured hand, "I Zhao Hai has lived for forty-two years, and it is the first time I have met such a kind owner, and I actually gave the guys shares...... Tsk, at such a young age, I feel that my son will definitely be able to do great things in the future! ”

Chen Shangren was pulling the abacus beads to settle the accounts, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but look up at Zhao Hai, smiled and didn't speak.

Chu Fan engaged in this East India Company-this name is really strange, there is no way, who made him the owner--Chen Shangren saw through his intentions at a glance.

He's going to tie the vast majority of people to him with shares! It's old-fashioned, but it works!

These days, Chen Shangren is pondering the "Articles of Association of the East India Company" made by Chu Fan, especially the section of the shareholders' congress, which determines the right to speak at the meeting according to the amount of the capital invested, such a structure, the advantage is that the people who hold shares, even if the principal is small, feel that they have the right to speak, and in fact, it is Chu Fan who can really decide the company, well, that is, the direction and fate of the firm, in the end, because he has the most principal - Chu Fan proposed that the income from the sale of tobacco is also included in the principal.

Although the master said that he was not optimistic about tobacco, no matter how cheap it was, he could get back a few thousand taels of silver, plus forty percent of the treasures sold, Chen Shangren could be sure that Chu Fan's principal could exceed half.

In fact, even if Chu Fan's principal is only more than half, this business firm still has the final say - haven't you seen it in the past few days, whether it is the escort team or the guys on the ship, his eyes look like he is looking at Guanyin Bodhisattva? I almost didn't set up a shrine for him.

Popularity! People's hearts have been all enveloped by Chu Fan!

Even Chen Shangren himself was amazed by Chu Fan's series of actions and the structure of the East India Company's charter?

Demons! Definitely a demon! Chen Shangren has never seen that seventeen-year-old boy so perfect to make such a set of regulations with a bright surface but a tight grip in his hand, which really plays with people's hearts!

“…… Whether it's a military leader, a businessman, I've seen a lot, which one isn't desperately putting money in his pocket, when have you ever seen a little soldier of ours? When Chen Shangren was thinking about it, Zhao Hai was not idle, and kept sighing - his arm was injured, and Ge Bi didn't arrange a job for him, so he could only talk to Chen Shangren.

"Lao Zhao, have you ever been a soldier?" Chen Shangren didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he asked casually.

"I became a soldier at the age of sixteen," Zhao Hai's face turned pale, and he sighed, "I have been in the army for eighteen years." ”

"Oh?" Chen Shangren glanced at Zhao Hai with some surprise, if he had seen Zhao Hai's vigorous posture on the nameless island, it would not be so strange, "Then how did it come out later?" ”

"Alas! Sal Hu ......" Zhao Hai shook his head and said, as if he had a piece of coptis in his mouth, and he held it for a long time before continuing, "Don't hide it from you, master, I didn't take it all night under Juniper Du Shuai before...... When I was young, I was fighting on horseback, not that I was boasting, but my kung fu was no worse than those Xiyi and Taokou...... When we were in Yansui, it was common for us to go out for hundreds of miles, so wasn't it the same as Xiyi, eating, drinking, and Lazar on horseback? …… When I was young, I earned hundreds of taels of silver just by cutting off Xiyi's head. ”

Chen Shangren was even more interested now, and asked him in detail about his experience of not collecting that night - the boat trip was boring, there was someone to accompany him, and the teacher was no longer properly holding the shelf of a scholar.

Zhao Hai then explained how he was recruited as a soldier in Yansui, how he was selected into the night team under Juniper's account, how he followed Juniper to fight Jizhen and Liaodong, and finally talked about the Battle of Salhu.

"At that time, we had already noticed that Dai Shan's two red flags were rushing to Tiebei Mountain......" Zhao Haizheng said about the highlights, when he heard a loud "tom" sound outside.

The two people in the cabin were startled, and hurriedly ran out to take a look, only to see Chu Fan holding a red-hot iron bar in his hand, looking at the still smoking Franc machine gun and pondering, Yi Bao next to him explained flatteringly, "Master, this gun can't be too much, too much will explode...... There is also the fact that the deck of this sand ship is not successful and not hard enough, and it will crack if it can't fire a few shots...... It's not like our eagle ship, the deck is hard enough, and it can be driven no matter what. ”

Chu Fan looked at it, and the base of the Franc machine was directly placed on the deck, and sure enough, the wooden board was deformed, and cracks could already be seen.

His attempt to shoot the whole ship was alarmed, and the convoy hula-la-la.

Seeing that it was Chu Fan who was testing the gun, Chen Shangren was relieved and continued to ask Zhao Haidao, "Where did you say just now?" What kind of daishan and two red flags, what is it? ”

Zhao Hai rubbed his nose and said, "Master, that generation of good is the Baylor of the Eastern Captives, and his status is extremely respectable...... The so-called two red flags are the red flags and inlaid red flags of the East Captives, and these two flags have many white armors and are very powerful. ”

Chen Shangren didn't know if he understood, nodded and said, "In this way, isn't your Du Dashuai dangerous?" ”

Their conversation immediately attracted the attention of Chu Fan, who was thinking about how to add a gun mount to the Franc machine, and came up and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Chen Shangren then told Zhao Hai about not accepting it that night, and Chu Fan's eyes lit up when he heard it-he knew that the Ming army's night failure to accept it was all the elite of the army, which was equivalent to a combination of scouts and special combat soldiers in later generations.

"Our team doesn't collect and scatter far at night, and it is more than 30 miles east of Salhu Mountain...... Zhao Hai saw that not only Chu Fan, but even the guards were surrounded and spoke more energetically, "When the modern goodness came, the old chieftain who was killed by the cannon also came, and when five of the eight banners of the Dongyu came, it was too late to rush back...... The mountains and forests are full of white-armored soldiers, and with the heavy snowfall, it is impossible to ride horses in the mountains...... We were a team of eight brothers, and in the end, only one of us broke through the interception of the Tartars with injuries and returned to the camp at the foot of the Salhu Mountain...... But the camp had already been broken, and there was smoke everywhere and corpses everywhere...... I had no choice but to continue to flee west...... The Tartars chased all over the mountains, and I was found by a wrapper in the snow nest, and it was said that my life was big, and I was injured like that, and finally killed him, otherwise he would have been buried in the mountains and forests of Liaodong...... At that time, the Tartars met our people who were dressed in the Ming Kingdom and had no other means, just one word, kill! ”

Zhao Hai said emotionally, his eyes were red, "It's a pity that my brothers, whether it's any work or the work at hand, they are all strong...... All dead at the hands of the white-armored soldiers. ”

For a while, there was silence on the deck, and everyone did not speak, as if they were immersed in the fierce battle in the ice and snow.

"Toot!"

In the silence, a horn suddenly sounded in the bow of the ship.
