The next day, Deng Haonan went to work as usual, and as soon as he left the house, Li Ping's subordinates came to him.

When Deng Haonan saw it, he was an acquaintance, and it was Li San who was the gatekeeper of the Li Mansion.

Li San seemed very happy to see Deng Haonan, and said, "Deng Gongzi is early!" The lord specially ordered the villain to wait for the son here, and ask the son to go to the house! ”

"Morning!" Deng Haonan responded, although he had a little trouble with this guy, but he would rather offend the gentleman than the villain, Deng Haonan reached out and took out a piece of broken silver in his arms, about half a tael, handed it to him and smiled: "Little meaning!" ”

In the past month, Li Sansheng was afraid that Deng Haonan would find an opportunity to clean him up, after all, Deng Haonan is now a celebrity in front of Old Man Li, and he naturally can't fight Deng Haonan as a small guard. However, in the past month, Deng Haonan did not find faults, but greeted him with a smile, and every time he saw the reward to him and Cheng Er, Li San was very moved.

After a few strokes, he put the silver in his arms and thanked him again and again.

Deng Haonan asked, "Do you know what the old man is looking for me?" ”

Li San immediately replied: "Don't hide it from the son, the old man was very happy about what happened in the gambling house yesterday, and it must be a good thing for the special little one to come to the son." The little one heard Cheng Er say that after the old man got up this morning, he asked about the house where the son lived, and then ordered the housekeeper to take a set of real estate keys in the east of the city. ”

Deng Haonan thought in his heart: Although this Li San is a small person, he has been in the Li Mansion for a long time, and what he said is true. Immediately took out a tael of silver from his arms, handed it to Li San, and said: "If there is any good news in the future, I hope that Brother Li will reveal a little more or two, and the younger brother will definitely have a good reward!" ”

Li San weighed the amount of silver, swallowed his saliva, and in a blink of an eye, he got one or two halves of silver, which was equivalent to a month's salary for him. Seeing that Deng Haonan was commensurate with a brother, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "The son has killed the little one!" But don't worry, although the little one is just a janitor in the Li Mansion, he is well-informed, and if there is any trouble, he will definitely inform the son! ”

Deng Haonan thought that this was exactly what he needed, and immediately smiled: "Then there is Brother Lao Li!" ”

was called Brother Li by Deng Haonan, then Li San was suddenly so happy that he couldn't find the north, and it took a long time to answer how dare he.

Along the way, he asked Li San about some things, and when he arrived at Li's mansion, Deng Haonan already knew it.

The housekeeper of the Li Mansion was already waiting in the gatehouse, and after seeing Deng Haonan, he immediately led Deng Haonan to see Li Ping.

※※※

In Li Ping's study, Deng Haonan and Li Ping sat down.

Li Ping smiled: "Haonan is really righteous!" A gambling house, worth 20,000 taels of silver, is already in your hands, but you don't want it! ”

Deng Haonan secretly said in his heart: Even if he won it by strength, this old man must not believe it, and he will definitely think that Liu Erhei deliberately lost to him. Fortunately, he was clever enough, he held back at the last moment, and did not accept Liu Erhei's gambling house, which can be regarded as drawing a clear line with Liu Erhei and the forces behind him, and making Li Ping mad.

So he smiled and said: "The old man has won the prize!" Haonan can have today, thanks to the old man's support! ”

Deng Haonan didn't explain why he didn't want to gamble, but the words had been put in place, Li Ping was very happy, and said: "I'm glad that you can think like this!" Young people should exercise more? ”

Deng Haonan hurriedly said yes, but in his heart, he scolded Old Man Li for a bloody squirt.

At this time, Li Ping suddenly said: "Miss Yan appreciates you very much, and sent someone to reply that she wants to ask you to help her!" ”

"Great!" Deng Haonan blurted out, and immediately saw Li Ping's eyes flash, and hurriedly changed his words: "That-I mean Miss Yan actually thinks so highly of me, I--that one is simply flattered!" ”

Li Pingpi didn't smile and said, "Naturally! It's better to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and it is better to follow the leader of the general alliance than to be in the next place of Beiyu Town! ”

Deng Haonan smiled and said: "The county official is not as good as taking care of it now, Miss Yan's big tree can't be counted on, it's better to stay here!" ”

"The county official might as well be in charge!" Li Ping repeated it slowly, and said with a smile: "Haonan is really funny, but there is something unique!" ”

Deng Haonan smiled and said, "Countryman, you can't speak, it's weird!" ”

Li Ping smiled and nodded, very satisfied with Deng Haonan's answer, and said: "Young people know the depth, which is rare!" Then he paced back and forth in the study, and said, "It's cold in high places!" The affairs of the rivers and lakes are not necessarily much simpler than those in the court! Take our Twenty-Eight Brothers Alliance as an example, Yan Siqi is indeed the hero, but he is too high-minded, it is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to sit in the world. Now, his position as the leader of the alliance is no longer what it used to be, and Noda's family property has been almost divided among his subordinates. ”

Deng Haonan's heart tightened, and sure enough, as he expected, Li Ping actually called Yan Siqi by his name, obviously with limited respect for him. It seems that this Yan Siqi is not as powerful as he imagined, and now Zheng Yiguan is against him, and now even Li Ping, a "third-tier star", does not take him seriously, and the situation can be imagined.

Seeing that Li Ping still had the following, Deng Haonan listened honestly, after all, he was still looking at Li Ping's face and doing things.

I only heard Li Ping continue: "Now Yan Siqi thinks of consolidating his position, but it's a pity that it's too late. Beigang Zheng Zhilong, Jinjiang Yang Tiansheng, Haicheng's Chen Xinji, and Penghu's Li Zhiqi have all become big, how can they return the rights to Yan Siqi? ”

Deng Haonan didn't understand the key, and couldn't help but ask, "After all, Yan Siqi is the leader of the general alliance and has a great influence!" I heard Miss Yan say that Yang Tiansheng is on the side of the leader of the alliance! ”

Li Ping snorted coldly and said with a smile: "You are still hairy!" Then he returned to his seat and said slowly: "Then Yang Tiansheng City Mansion is naturally stronger than Zheng Yiguan!" Zheng Yiguan's dissatisfaction with Yan Siqi was written on his face, and the brothers of the entire alliance knew about it. And that Yang was born different, on the surface to help Yan Siqi deal with Zheng Yiguan, but in fact, he secretly developed his own strength under Yan Siqi's name.

Deng Haonan heard a huge shock in his heart, how could this be?

I only heard Li Ping snort coldly, and said: "Yan Siqi has the power of a horseman, but he has no wisdom!" Now that Yang Tiansheng is big, not only did he not eliminate Zheng Yiguan, but he couldn't lose his tail. His sister had a trace of wisdom, and on the grounds of marrying the Yang family, she first appeased the Yang family and secretly enlisted the old husband to help. ”

Deng Haonan asked: "With Yang's innate wisdom, it won't be impossible to see it!" ”

Li Ping said very vigorously and replied: "Of course he can see it!" It's just that if you want to be the boss of the younger brother, you must not only have force, but also prestige! Moreover, as long as Yan Siqi did not make a big mistake, they would rebel if they wanted to take the position. Our business thieves are also considered to be people in the rivers and lakes, and the upper position has a proper name, but we also have to be face-saving! ”

Deng Haonan sweated profusely, and said in his heart that the alliance of the twenty-eight brothers seemed to be fighting openly and secretly. On second thought, where is there no open and secret fighting? As long as there are people, these things are indispensable. However, he almost fell in love with Li Ping's way just now, if Deng Haonan just now said that he really wanted to leave Li Ping to work with Yan Siyu, I am afraid that there would be no good fruit to eat.

Then Deng Haonan felt a chill in his heart, remembering the plot of watching TV series, usually when the other party wants to kill you, he will tell a lot of secrets. This girl won't do anything to Lao Tzu!

So, he hurriedly said: "Although I have been supported by Miss Yan in Xia, Mrs. Li is rebuilt in Xia Entong and swears to follow the master in Xia!" ”

Seeing that Deng Haonan was very sincere, Li Ping immediately laughed and said, "Okay! The old man has Haonan's help like a tiger! Although Zheng Yiguan and Yang Tiansheng were powerful, they ignored one point, that is, they no longer used knives, guns and sticks, but strong ships and sharp guns. They can build big ships, and so can we. However, their artillery is not as sharp as ours, and most of the gunpowder is still supplied from foreigners and the imperial court. ”

Deng Haonan secretly admired this old man in his heart, this girl was able to see the key behind the strong ship and cannon, it was indeed not simple. As Li Ping said, the Ming Dynasty had a strong military awareness, and although firearms were not very advanced, they were developing towards an era that replaced cold weapons. This kind of military awareness is correct, but the most critical issue is the logistical supply, which is no longer just as simple as grain, grass and silver, but also a large supply of gunpowder and firearms.

The same is true for pirates, and robbery at sea is no longer a sword, a sword, and a halberd, and without cannons to prop up the façade, you are embarrassed to say that you are a pirate.

However, the hit rate of naval artillery battles is surprisingly low, and there is no supply of firearms and gunpowder, so it is impossible to mix at all. And Li Ping just saw the key, he had a shipyard, and now with Deng Haonan, an artillery expert, the battleship under Li Ping can be said to be a tiger with teeth, and the level has been raised all of a sudden. In particular, Li Ping was able to see the huge strategic advantages of self-manufacturing and importation, which is really not simple.

Deng Haonan already understood at this time that Yang Tiansheng and others were actually developing their own forces under the banner of supporting Yan Siqi, and wasn't the same with Li Ping? It's just that Li Ping's Biqu Pavilion www.biquge.info is low, and his economic strength is not as good as others, but Li Ping has an artillery expert Deng Haonan, but he is overwhelmed by others in terms of strategic foresight, and as time goes by, it can be imagined that Li Ping's future strength will be.

Thinking of this, Deng Haonan could only sigh for Yan Siqi and Yan Siqi's brothers and sisters, although he pitied them in his heart, but who pitied himself now? If you take the slightest wrong step, you will be crushed to death by them.

Walking on thin ice, Deng Haonan gave birth to a helpless feeling in life for the first time!

At this time, Li Ping clapped his hands, and the housekeeper came in, holding a box.

Li Ping took the box and handed it to Deng Haonan, Deng Haonan didn't know what it was, opened it and saw that it was a title deed and a bunch of keys.

Looking at Deng Haonan's puzzled face, Li Ping smiled and said, "For you!" A house in the east of the town! ”

Deng Haonan hurriedly said: "How embarrassing is this? ”

Li Ping said: "Those who know the times are Junjie!" You are very clever, and you have an appetite for the old man, and now the old man is short of manpower, Haonan doesn't mind coming over to help! ”

Deng Haonan was confused and said, "Haven't you been working in the Li family's gunpowder workshop?" Isn't it for the master? ”

Li Ping smiled faintly, and the housekeeper said, "Master sees that you are your own person!" Sue you! That's just for Miss Yan to see, otherwise where would the funds come from? Our Li family naturally has its own secret ship yard and firearms yard! ”

Meow a! Deng Haonan remembered that Li Ao told him about the secret shipyard, and now when he heard it, there was even a secret firearms yard! This Li Ping is also capable, and his ability to pull the wool of the public is not bad. I was so surprised at the moment that I didn't know how to say it!

Li Ping patted Deng Haonan on the shoulder and said, "As long as you and the old man are of the same heart, the old man promises to never treat you badly!" ”

Li Ping didn't say anything below, but Deng Haonan is a smart person and naturally understands. Heart: The old turtle first beat himself with a stick, and then gave a sweet date, which is really spicy.

Deng Haonan hurriedly thanked and said a long list of words of gratitude.

After Li Ping explained some more words, he sat down at the coffee table and drank tea. Deng Haonan was still about to ask questions, and the housekeeper took Deng Haonan out with a look.

After Deng Haonan asked, he learned that the ancients picked up the tea bowl to send off the guests, and then sweated profusely.

Deng Haonan asked what kind of person Liu Erhei was, and the housekeeper just mysteriously said a warning "Don't get involved with them", and then stopped talking about him.

Then, the housekeeper Li De said to Deng Haonan: "Congratulations to Deng Gongzi, the master really looks up to you, this house was used by the old man when he started his family." Although it is not as good as the official family, it is also good among the nearby maritime merchants. ”

Then he said: "Now that Deng Gongzi is also his own person, I don't see that Deng Gongzi has no substitute for traveling, so I simply gave Gongzi a fast horse and talked about my heart, I hope Deng Gongzi will not think I am shabby!" ”

"How so?" Deng Haonan hurriedly gave in, and only after some prevarication could he accept it. Xindao: It turns out that there are so many benefits of being your own person, Li Ping sends the house, Li De sends the fast horse, I rely on it! Lao Tzu suddenly became a white-collar worker with horses and houses.

However, when Deng Haonan left the Li Mansion, the sense of crisis in his heart became even stronger. If nothing else, the alliance of the twenty-eight brothers is already complicated enough, and each force is tilting against each other. And a small Beiyu town is secretly developing its own strength, which shows that the waves below don't know how fierce they are.

Hi! Deng Haonan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, remembering that in the popular novels of later generations, the protagonist's rebirth through is awesome, and he can drown NPCs with a mouthful of spit. But it's good to be yourself, and N mountains are oppressing on your head! Deng Haonan was very unhappy and raised his middle finger towards the sky.

Suddenly there was a thunderous thunder, which frightened Deng Haonan and scolded secretly: "Damn!" You don't need to reflect so quickly! ”
