Qiu Yizhi also smiled when he heard this: "That old ship owner can be regarded as raising the prestige of my Han country." Since the old shipowner has such a momentum in the Wa country, then presumably this little Yin Tai can't escape the eyes of the old shipowner, right? I spared him several times for this Yin Tai, but he always went against me, and this time he violated the law of the country again. If the old shipowner knows his whereabouts, please give me a message, if you can get Yin Tai according to this, the old shipowner is the hero of the Han Dynasty, and you may be able to get a few customs clearance documents for the old shipowner. ”

Li Zhi listened, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then dimmed, and said: "Adults speak straightforwardly, unlike other rotten Confucians, although they say it well, they can't do without the word 'money', and they are no longer boring." ”

Qiu Yizhi heard Li Zhi praise himself, and hurriedly waved his hand and said humbly: "I'm ashamed and ashamed, I can't pay respects, but I just express my heart directly, which makes the old ship owner feel strange." ”

Li Zhi said: "When we run the boat, we have always had one thing to say, two to say two, and not to be polite. The details of Yin Tai that Lord Qiu asked just now are indeed not very clear. ”

Qiu Yizhi listened to Li Zhi's words boldly, and he was a guest, so he was not easy to ask.

But I heard Li explain directly: "It's not that the old man intends to embarrass the adult, there is indeed a reason for this." It is only because the Wa Kingdom is different from the Central Plains - all the judicial and government affairs in the Central Plains have their own officials, and these officials are all under the orders of the upper peak, and the upper peak is obeyed by the emperor. On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister', that's the truth. ”

Qiu Yizhi said with a smile: "The old shipowner can have such an insight, which is enough to be a state and county parent official in Dahan, and being a maritime merchant is really wronged by you." ”

Li Zhidao: "The adults have won the award, and the old man has traveled a lot from south to north, so he has heard the words of eye-dyeing and parroting." In addition, although it is a small island country in the land of a projectile, there are also emperors who claim to command the whole country, and there are generals to assist them, but in fact there are many lords, there are hundreds of large and small, and there are more than a dozen strong ones. If you want to inquire about someone, you have to ask the lord of the country one by one, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack. ”

Qiu Yizhi interrupted: "The Han Dynasty has always had some understanding of the news of the Wa Kingdom, but it is all like silk, like a blind man touching an elephant, and he has never fully grasped it. The old shipowner can give a detailed introduction to the situation of the Wa Kingdom today, and report to the imperial court when he stays, and the old shipowner will have another credit. ”

Li Zhi smiled bitterly: "What credit is not credit, just ask the court not to wait for the opportunity to arrest the old decay, and the old decay will be thankful." ”

So Li Zhi introduced the current major lords of the Wa Kingdom, and added: "These lords are now fighting endlessly, and you and I are not convinced, and the spheres of influence are also different from each other. Take Lao Yu as an example, although the business is all over the country, it is dominated by the southwestern countries, and although there is contact with the rest of the country, it is not familiar with it. So I don't know which lord this Yin Tai has contacted. ”

Li Zhi's words are reasonable.

In China's last three dynasties, there were also hundreds of years of turmoil, when Zhou Tianzi was the nominal co-ruler of the world, but the slightly powerful monarch regarded the Son of Heaven as nothing. Qiu Yizhi read poetry and books with his master Zhong Li Kuang in his early years, and of course he knew this history, so it is not difficult to understand the situation of the Japanese Kingdom that Li Zhi said today.

Therefore, Qiu Yizhi sighed and said: "Then it seems that this matter still needs to be investigated calmly." At that time, please ask the old shipowner to make it convenient. ”

Li Zhizhi said: "Help the adults inquire about things, naturally it doesn't matter; Yin Tai is in the territory of the Han Dynasty, and it is natural for adults to arrest him. But I'm not afraid that the adults will think that the old man will speak badly, if the adult wants to ask the old man to go to the Japanese country to capture Yin Tai, then there is nothing he can do. ”

Qiu Yizhi heard this, and thought: Although Li Zhi's words are straightforward, they are very straightforward, and they can be regarded as having words first.

But Li Shengjie on the side said: "What are you afraid of those widows doing? Isn't it just asking which country is the main individual, what's the big deal? The Li family's fleet sailed to the front of the port, but we wanted to see which country owner did not know the current affairs! ”

Qiu Yizhi was arrogant when he heard Li Shengjie's words, and was about to praise a few words, but Li Zhi next to him listened to it, and scolded: "You hairy boy, what do you know?" People are under low eaves and have to bow their heads, do you know? ”

After that, Li Zhi said to Qiu Yizhi again: "Although our Li family is in its heyday, after all, we have to rely on people's breath, and some things are not easy to do. My little son is open-mouthed, and he doesn't know how thick the sky is, so please don't take it seriously. ”

Qiu Yizhi hurriedly took over the conversation and said, "Where is the old shipowner?" I think this young ship owner is very heroic and organized, and he will become a great weapon in time. ”

Li Zhi actually loves his only son very much, and when he heard Qiu Yizhi praise his son, he wanted to be used more than directly praising him himself, but he still had to say a few polite words in his mouth: "If I sharpen it a little longer, I can take over the rudder in my hand, so that the Li family and the group of sailors under him can eat together, and the old man will be satisfied." ”

Qiu Yizhi said with a smile: "The old shipowner's words are a little biased. In my opinion, the young shipowner is now a masterpiece, and the so-called grinding is just grinding away its edges and corners, which is no different from an ordinary mediocre man, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

When Li Shengjie heard this, a smug look flashed across his face, and he said, "Dad heard it, even Lord Qiu praised me!" He turned his head again and asked Qiu Yidao, "Lord Qiu is well-informed, looking at my martial arts, can you be a general who gallops across the field?" ”

Qiu Yizhi smiled and said, "Just by the young shipowner riding on a horse, an arrow piercing the throat of the red-armored general is quite impressive. If you lead 3,000 troops and defend the cofferdam in Mingzhou, how can the Japanese invade Mingzhou so easily? ”

"Three thousand?" Li Shengjie asked rhetorically, "Adults look down on me too much." If I want to be a general, I will hold a million lions in my hands in the future, attack the Turks in the north, gallop the grassland, and leave a name in history! ”

Qiu Yizhi laughed when he heard "haha" and said: "It's good that the young ship owner has this heart, but the tone is too big. When the emperor was guarding the northern frontier, he only led five or six thousand soldiers to burn grass every year. It is also said that the commander of one million troops, the total number of troops in my Han Dynasty is now less than three million, if it is really a dispatch of a million troops, not only the Turks will be scared to death, but even the Han court will probably be dragged down. ”

Li on the side listened to it and sneered: "Hmph, did you hear it?" Qiu Dacai has led soldiers, talking like you is like child's play, today I met an expert, and finally smiled and was generous, right? ”

Li Shengjie is still a young man after all, and when he heard his father say this, he was already speechless.

When Qiu Yi saw it, he said: "The young ship owner doesn't have to be discouraged. If a young shipowner can be like an old shipowner, he can control thousands of sails, patrol the sea frontier for the Han Dynasty, and keep the Haiyan River clear, which is also full of pride, and he will not fall behind at all than commanding the army to gallop on the grassland! ”

Qiu Yizhi mentioned the grassland, and suddenly remembered that the lord of Bohai County, who grew up as a childhood sweetheart, remembered that she had come to the north to recuperate, and whether her body had recovered - there was a melancholy in her heart.

He was busy calming down, and then said to Li Zhi: "Don't blame the old shipowner for saying a depressing word - it is certainly beautiful like the old shipowner now, but one day he will return to his hometown and live overseas for a long time, which is not a long-term plan, right?" ”

Li Zhi was touched by Qiu Yizhi's words, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "The truth in it, the old man also understands it. But with the current status of the decrepit, how easy is it to get a serious background for his son? ”

Qiu Yizhi pondered for a while, discussed with Lin Shuhan in a whisper, and finally said: "The old ship owner may wish to inquire around, and he has a lot of friendship with His Royal Highness the Great Prince in front of the current saint." As long as you introduce a few words to His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness will be able to take into account that the current imperial court is employing people, and promote meritocracy without sticking to one pattern. With the martial arts of a young ship owner, and regardless of ranking, a dignified warrior is a sure thing. ”

He saw that Li Zhi's face was full of joy, and he added: "When the time comes, won't the old shipowner's family glorify their ancestors?" ”

Li Zhi has read books for half his life, and he can't even pass the Xiucai exam, and he is still two full levels away from Jinshi and Di, and there is an insurmountable gap between these two levels. If it is really as Qiu Yizhi said, he can let his son mix with a martial artist - although his quality is quite inferior to Wen Jinshi - then Li Shengjie will become a real master, and then use the wealth accumulated by the Li family to go up and down, and he will be more prosperous.

Li Zhida was deeply moved by such a beautiful scene in his heart, but he was an old man who had traveled south and north for decades, and of course he understood the simple truth of "there is no lunch for nothing", and said tentatively: "Lord Qiu's kindness is appreciated by the old man." I'm afraid that this thing will not be so easy to do, right? ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded and said with a smile: "Whether this thing is successful or not depends on the sincerity of the old shipowner." ”

When Li Zhi heard Qiu Yizhi's words, he was determined in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face again, and he said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." I understand what Lord Qiu means, and in order to do this, of course, the joints need to be dredged. We Mingren don't talk darkly, how much silver do adults need, just make a price, and the old decay will not pay back half a child. Of course, Lord Qiu's journey is tiring and laborious, and the old man will naturally not forget the benefits of adults. ”

Li Zhi said this bit of silver, how could Qiu Yizhi take it to heart, and said with a dumb smile: "The old ship owner has misunderstood, the sincerity he said here is not a matter of tens of thousands of taels of silver......

"Is it hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of taels?" Li Zhi was taken aback when he heard this, he didn't expect His Highness to have such a big appetite, but he gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "After all, His Highness is under one person, above ten thousand people, and it is natural that the price should be higher." Lord Qiu, please make a bold offer, since it is the way of His Royal Highness, as long as the silver can be handed over, things will definitely succeed. ”

Qiu Yizhi listened to Li Zhi's last words, almost comforting himself, feeling funny, and moved by his love for his son, and said with a smile: "The old ship owner really misunderstood. His Royal Highness is the prince, and you still don't need these taels of silver? ”

He looked at Li Zhi with a look of surprise on his face, and then said, "Your Highness wants a certificate of nomination!" ”

"Vote?" Li Zhi exclaimed.

"That's right, it's a vote!" Qiu Yizhi repeated it again.

The so-called "petition for nomination" is nothing more than that when bandits and bandits join the gang, they must kill a person, or do a case, cutting off their own way of retreat, so as to gain the trust of the other party.

Li Zhi is an old Jianghu, of course he understands the rules here, so he asked: "Is it that His Highness has an enemy in the court, and it is not easy for him to make a move, so he wants to ask the old man to send someone to do this for His Highness?" ”
