Li Yanqing's face was impassive: "Actually, this is not a big deal." Hu Meilin didn't dare to sit down, and it had nothing to do with me. But if there are all good men like Leader Zhang on the water, I won't be able to sit on this throne. It's a pity that you know better than me what the water martial arts look like right now. Don't worry, I don't want to take away the last bit of your benefactor's inheritance, in other words, I don't like his inheritance. It's better to sit in peace with my court officials, and other matters are not under my control. I only heard that Wang Wufeng's ship was very majestic back then, but it was not suitable for robbery. ”

Zhang Qi's face changed, "That is the last thought that Engong left us......"

"The last thought he left you is his beloved concubine and the blood of the abdomen. Zhang Daxia helped the young orphan with an iron gun, and did not do Cao Cao's single-minded work of Zhao Zilong, the fourth sister had already told me. You have to figure out that the boat is big, and the ship is really good. But it was a ship of war, not of robbery. Are your current hands still moving? Besides, such a big thing, completely dependent on the wind, how can you use it to rob and chase the master? ”

Wang Zhi loved the ship back then, and it was known as a galloping horse, but it required a lot of manpower. Zhang Qi has too few people on his hands, and he is indeed unable to start this joint boat.

Besides, the ship was too dazzling, and it could be seen from a long distance, and the merchant ships could go as far as they could, and the joint ship could not catch up. It's a thought, but it's just a thought, and in order to keep the ship from rotting, it has to be maintained at great expense.

It's just that when he thinks of the fire in his brothers' eyes every time they clean the deck and maintain the big ship, Zhang Qi is reluctant to give it away. This boat represents hope. It is the idea of the children of Wufeng to make a comeback and overwhelm the two oceans. If the ship is sacrificed. Everyone's spirit will be ruined, and they will become a commodity that is not much different from ordinary pirates in the future. If you want to revive the prestige of the old shipowner, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it.

Li Yanqing seemed to see what he was thinking, and he didn't force it, but only ordered, "If you pass through the door, you will be a guest." It's still a year, but you can't lose the number of courtesies, come here, prepare a feast. ”

The twenty men brought by Zhang Qi were originally his own soldiers who had been trained by him, compared with the officers and soldiers. Discipline is not inferior at all. Even if the government uses a knife and axe, it may not make them frown. It's a pity that such an iron-clad man was completely defeated by a table of wine banquets.

Looking at the table of wine and delicacies, these people refused to move their chopsticks at first, for fear of falling into a plot. But the idiot monk grabbed a chicken leg and chewed it without saying a word, and said while eating: "You are not polite, just come and eat." ”

These big men swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, but after all, someone couldn't bear it and tore another chicken leg in one hand. Shoved into the mouth. At the beginning, the back was unstoppable, and the bowls containing rice in front of each person were piled up like a pagoda. Zhang Qi saw it in his eyes and couldn't help shaking his head, "It's not like words." It's just a shame. That, another bowl of rice. ”

"Wufeng Chamber of Commerce, it seems that the grain and grass are not very sufficient." See the reincarnation of these starving ghosts. Li Yanqing said in a loud voice: "When you leave, pull ten fat pigs for them." Even if the county gives them a little gift in return. ”

A few years ago, a group of young men attacked a pig pen under Chen's hometown. Drove a batch of big fat pigs back. Under the full investigation of the Xiangshan County public, this vicious pig robbery case was solved. The fat pigs all went into the pigsty of the county yamen. As for those chivalrous youths, they were also punished accordingly, each person was given twenty catties of meat, plus they were collected in Chunfeng Building for three days, and the county government reimbursed the expenses.

With this batch of fat pigs, Li Yanqing is also generous, ten pigs, trivial. But those men were all excited, and couldn't help but say: "Big brother, Master Liu is good to us, much better than those dog officials." He is not Wang Bengu, but Xu Wenchang. ”

"Shut up! Wang Bengu and Xu Wenchang, what is the difference! When did the people of our Wufeng become so poor that they could sell their lives when they saw a few pigs? Which ship did we use in the past, without pig ballast? ”

After all, Zhang Qi was still majestic, and his subordinates didn't dare to take more mouths. He said to Li Yanqing again: "The ship was left by the old owner, and I can't make my own decisions." In the final analysis, I still have to ask my little master to decide. ”

"What a brave leader, I won't force you to do this. But listen to me, some old things are more useful to throw away than to keep. I will prepare a hundred stone of grain for you at that time, plus twenty fat pigs, and you can also pull these cages back, and I will buy the boat. ”

"Actually, there are already people from your government who have been in contact with me." Zhang Qi has food in his stomach, and his heart is much more stable. How long has it been since he couldn't eat with his belly so open, even he couldn't remember the time, and it felt good to be full. He bowed his hand to Li Yanqing, "The price offered by the other party is three thousand taels of silver." We were only allowed to go around the sea once and fire two cannons, but we were not allowed to grab a boat. ”

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment: "Most of these are people from Fujian." This transaction has actually been done, only two cannons, there are three thousand taels of silver, it is indeed cost-effective. ”

"It's a pity that I'm afraid I won't get that money." Zhang Qi said bluntly, "I'm not confused, there must be a reason behind this strange request." If you say that you are self-respecting, you were a good man on the water some time ago, but the heads of the people who were killed by the government are rolling, otherwise you wouldn't be able to invite me. After thinking about it, there is only one possibility, which is to exert pressure on the imperial court through the means of guò. ”

"So you're just coming to me and seeing what news you can get? This is not right, if I want to find out the news, I will also get the officialdom in Fujian to find out, and I will not be able to find out the letter from Fujian. ”

Zhang Qi said: "If you don't have eyes and ears in the yamen, you will lose your head." However, the news I inquired about made me a little unbelievable. Back then, the old shipowner messed up his head for this. Could it be that now that the new monarch has ascended the throne, this thing has really been done? But if there is such a thing, I think Xiangshan is more qualified than Yuegang. is also selling my life, and I, Zhang Qi, prefer to sell my life in Xiangshan. ”

"Why is that?"

"Fourth Sister Hong voted for Xiangshan, and now it has become your side room. The old shipowner voted for Hu Zongxian and lost his head. This is the difference between the two, and I can't believe the people in Fujian. I, Zhang Qi and my subordinates, don't dare to think about revenge, but I don't want to be beheaded like the old shipowner. ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "If you are willing to believe me, then in a few days, the people who take you will set off two cannons on the water." By the way, bring the joint boat, and I won't give you any less money than I should give. (To be continued!)
