Chapter 236: Unity
As the leader of Jiuao and Eighteen Townships, Jiang Luan has a good reputation as a little Baoyi among the elders in his hometown, relying on his credit and being a friend. In other words, credit and reputation are the foundation of his family.
Hong Simei invited him to come, only saying that she was presiding over a negotiation. This is a very common thing in the rivers and lakes, everyone fights and talks, talks about fighting, and generations of Jianghu people have come over like this. Being able to talk about such a tea is actually an increase in value, and he naturally has no reason not to agree.
But right now, how did the tea that was said to be good become a Hongmen banquet? If you do this, you will be poked in the backbone by friends in the rivers and lakes in the future, and you can't do it. He kept waving his hands, "No, no, no, I am talking about morality and abiding by the rules, if you do this, I won't be able to mix in the rivers and lakes in the future." You'd better find someone else, I can't do it. ”
Hu Jingshui was very familiar with him and refused to let him go. "Looking for someone else? It's easy to say, if I can find someone else, I won't look for you. Those natives in Yizhou are the most willing to believe your words, and they will only come out to talk if you invite them. These natives are just doing business with us, how did they become friends? Is it necessary to divide people into such things as morality? ”
He shook the folding fan again, "I won't let you Jiang Daxia do day work, as long as this thing is done, I will give you two two-masted clippers, and you don't need a penny." ”
Jiang Luan was doing business in the South Seas, so naturally there was a great demand for ships. He became friends with Hu Jingshui from the beginning of buying a boat. Hu Kee's ships are of high quality, and if Hu Jingshui can really send him two two-masted clippers. That's good for his business.
Just good to good, this reputation? Just when he hesitated, Li Yanqing said, "Jiang Daxia." I don't know what Sister Hong's reputation was in the rivers and lakes at the beginning. It's just that after she did the sea patrol, she opened a lot of islands and cleaned up a lot of old brothers, and this reputation naturally can't get better in the rivers and lakes. But when she comes to invite you, don't you still have to come? Think about it, if your reputation is worse. Will it be easy to mix on the rivers and lakes, or will it be difficult to mix? ”
Now Hong Simei's reputation is good. Those who ate on the water originally believed in Mazu Niangniang, but now they began to swear by her name. "If I say it doesn't count, let me sail to meet that slut of Hong Simei!"
That being said. Swear so. But Hong Simei's status is getting higher and higher, and everyone is scolding her shamelessly behind her back, but they are competing to slap her.
Even if he is a little Baoyi Jiang Luan, what about it? In terms of reputation, ten Hong Simei may not be able to reach him, but in terms of status, his five Jiang Luan are not as good as Hong Patrol Inspection, who has a nine-grade future, as soon as he invites himself, he has to come obediently.
Hu Jingshui added another code at this time, "If this thing is done, you betray your friend." Who knows? Besides, it's not Hu who boasts, even if there is no Boss Jiang. Could it be that Master Liu, they can't get rid of the big belly? Don't forget, they have a very close relationship with the Buddha. It's just that I don't want to borrow Yi soldiers at the moment, if I'm really in a hurry, I borrow Yi soldiers, supplemented by guns, a little big belly. And how long can you fight? ”
Jiang Luan listened to him and said in his heart: These two people are just meeting for the first time. How can it be like a friend for many years, and still standing on the same line? I have known Hu Jingshui for a few years, but I have never had such a big friendship with him. Could it be that the East India Company really made such a big profit, and Hu Jingshui also intervened?
He knew very well the energy of Hu Ji Boat Travel. Its communication is vast, and its hands and eyes reach the sky. Even among the Jingshi, he can speak. After all, every year, Cao Yun is inseparable from the Cao Gang and the Cao boats, and although the Cao Gang is large, they are independent, and all the Cao Boats are from Hu Ji Shipyard.
Such a character can't afford to offend himself. No matter how good he is, if he offends Hu Jingshui and Liu Chaozuo, he is afraid that he can only flee back to his hometown and stop doing water business.
Li Yanqing said: "I appreciate Jiang Daxia's personality very much. I have so much money in my hands every year, and I have never lost half a penny, such a good person, but I want to make friends. As long as this thing is done, after Xiangshan opens to the sea in the future, I promise you that the Chaozhou Gang will have a place here. In the East India Company, you are also allowed to join the last share. We will cut the wool of those merchants on the sea in the future, but we can't do without heroes like you, Boss Jiang. ”
Jiang Luan finally couldn't hold on, so he had to sigh and say, "Since the two of you both said so, I can't give face." I have some dealings with the pot-bellied fan, and my words still have a bit of weight. It's just that I can't be sure if I can make this happen, so I can only do my best. ”
The Yizhou natives could not achieve complete self-sufficiency in all kinds of daily necessities, they lacked cloth, iron, and condiments. At the same time, they also have to exchange their own local goods for money. Jiang Luan is righteous and has good credit, and the natives of Yizhou like to trade with him the most, and his friendship with the big belly was also established at that time. Yu Dafan's emptiness and reality also know more than others.
According to him, the pot-bellied kings of Yizhou, according to their own words, called themselves the king of the white sun. The number of his troops is not too large, and the armor is very rudimentary, and even iron tools are scarce.
What can be relied on is that he is familiar with the terrain, agile, and good at covert warfare and sabotage warfare in the jungle, but his ability to confront the enemy head-on is poor. At the same time, they also have the habit of headhunting, and they have a strong sense of territory. If you want to negotiate to get a place in Yizhou, it is not easy.
Li Yanqing said: "With Brother Jiang's guidance and the treasures given by Brother Hu, in fact, I already have more than sixty percent chance of winning this battle." It's just that for the sake of everything, I still have to work hard for Brother Jiang, and lure the king out first. Take the fish first and take the head, as long as you catch their king, are you afraid that they will not bow their heads? ”
Sending Jiang Luan away here, Hu Jingshui couldn't wait to see the joint boat and the drawings. Li Tianliang has also admired Hu Jingshui's name for a long time, and knows that this is a very difficult figure in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, and he is also courteous in reception.
Just speaking of the drawings, he frowned and said, "That thing, I handed it over to the Governor's Procuratorate, and it is not in my hands." I'm just a martial artist, give me a boat drawing, I can't build a boat, what do you want that thing to do? ”
Hu Jingshui said: "In the Governor's Courtyard? That's easy, I'm just afraid this thing will be burned by your brother. If it's in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it's no different from being in my house. I can take it if I want, but let's take a look at the ship first. ”
Insiders looking at the boat are naturally different from laymen like Li Yanqing, this look is enough to watch for more than an hour, Hu Jingshui got off the boat with excitement on his face, pulled Li Yanqing and said: "Good thing, good thing." I have already understood a few points of this ship, and as long as I match the drawings, I can build it better than the original ship. As long as we build more artillery yards and shipyards, I don't believe that the East India Company will not be able to do it. (To be continued)
