Chapter 135 - Demarcation

After Yan Siqi heard Yu Xiaotian's words, he was overjoyed, he still wanted to pay some money to buy the road and make this transaction, but Yu Xiaotian exempted him from buying the road money in a word, and pointed him to a better way to ship, it turned out that there were so many shops on Nanri Island, so why did he go to Fuzhou to ship?

What's more, this is Nanri Island, it is Yu Xiaotian's territory, the merchant receives and ships here, it must depend on Yu Xiaotian's face, if he has a good relationship with Yu Xiaotian, then shipping and receiving goods here will definitely be more suitable than the price he went to Fuzhou or Quanzhou.

So Yan Siqi agreed, got up and thanked Xiaotian again and again, Yu Xiaotian saw that the time was still early, so he asked Liu Wang to take Yan Siqi and a few of his men to go around the business area, first to inquire about the market, and tell those businessmen that this Yan Dangjia was his friend of Yu, and he had to take care of it in terms of price.

Yan Siqi thanked him again and followed Liu Wang to the area of the Shangzhan District, and at noon, Yu Xiaotian sent someone to entertain Yan Siqi and his party, and asked him about the situation in the Shangzhan District.

"Thank you for your hospitality! I really didn't expect it! The merchant area on Nanri Island was so lively that my brothers were so fascinated by where they were, and they didn't know what to do for a while! Ha Lu Ha! These guys haven't seen a woman in a few months, and they don't dare to smell a little sassy or smelly! Hehe!

As for the price, the Maoshengyuan that Yu Dangjia said is indeed quite fair, and he does not hide it from the master, the price offered by Maoshengyuan to Yan is much higher than the price offered by the person surnamed Lei in Fuzhou to Yan! Don't say anything else, if I ship in the future, I'll come here! ”

Yan Siqi said to Xiaotian with a smile on his face.

Yu Xiaotian nodded and smiled: "It seems that I, Yu, still have a bit of thin noodles!" In this case, Brother Yan is also welcome to trade here, Yu does not dare to say anything else, but as long as it is Yu's territory, Yu can ensure the safety of Brother Yan's goods, and the transaction here, Yu can guarantee it, if there is a problem with the checkout, you can find Yu! ”

When Yan Siqi heard this, he was even more overjoyed, nodded yes again and again, and took out a gift slip from his arms and handed it to Yu Xiaotian.

"Yu Dangjia, Yan Mou came here for the first time to bother, and was so entertained by Yu Da Dang, Yan is really inexhaustible, and there is nothing else to thank Yu Dang, so he can only choose something worthless on the boat, and express his mind a little, and I hope that Yu Da Dang will not dislike it, and it is good to smile!"

Yu Xiaotian was not polite, after taking the gift list, he looked down and took a general look, there were three hundred taels of silver on the gift list, ten precision casting Japanese knives, five iron cannons of the Japanese country, folding fans, wood carvings, lacquer plates and other things, most of which were basically specialties of Japan.

Now these things are used as gifts by Yan Siqi to give to Yu Xiaotian.

Although Yu Xiaotian didn't like Japanese knives, people who came from his time, when they saw this kind of knife, often remembered Japan's war of aggression against China, and countless Chinese people died under this kind of Japanese knife, so Yu Xiaotian had a sense of resistance to this kind of knife.

But on the other hand, he had to admit that the sword is indeed a very good knife, during the Tang Dynasty, China created a very high sword building skills, the Tang knife, Mo knife and other swords cast even if they dare not say that they are unparalleled in the world, but at least they can be proud.

After the little devil was repaired by Datang that year, he knew how powerful Datang was, so he sent a large number of students (sent to Tang Dynasty) to our Datang to learn various techniques and culture, and the result was that they stole the casting skills of Tang knives back.

Unfortunately, after the collapse of the Tang Dynasty in Chinese history, there were repeated wars in Chinese history, and the skills that many Chinese were proud of were gradually lost in the long river of history in such a chaotic era, and could not be passed down, so that in this era, no one knows what the real Modao Dao looks like.

But the method of building the Tang knife, but was stolen by the craftsman of the little devil, and the perfect inheritance, and when it came to the Ming Dynasty, the quality of the sword cast in China, has been a considerable distance from the Japanese sword, and the Japanese in the Ming Dynasty rampant in the coastal areas of China, caused huge losses to the people of the Ming Dynasty, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty mentioned the Japanese and the Japanese knife they used, as well as their fierce knife skills, all talked about the discoloration.

But it is undeniable that the knife has become a very good commodity, and among the export commodities of the little devil every year, the knife is a very important commodity, which is quite popular among the good martial artists of the Ming Dynasty, and even some scribes like to hang it on the wall to show off.

And these Japanese knives brought by Yan Siqi from Japan, it is certain that they are basically from the hands of good craftsmen, and ten at a time to Yu Xiaotian are already quite a big deal.

As for the other things on the gift list, the special one is the kind of iron cannon made in Japan, this kind of Japanese iron cannon is actually an arquebus.

The earliest country in Asia to produce arquebuses was not China, but the Japanese, they came into contact with Western arquebuses earlier than Chinese craftsmen, and learned to make this arquebus, called iron cannons, a large number of equipment for their armament, Wanli years in the Sino-Japanese Korean War, the Ming army had suffered a great loss in front of the iron cannon of the little devil, if it was not for the Ming army artillery to occupy a great advantage, the original war was really not very easy to fight!

Nowadays, although the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty have also imitated and improved the development of bird guns, and even sharper Lumi guns and multi-barreled muskets and thunderbolts, the iron cannons of the Japanese Kingdom are also famous, and they are quite sought after by pirates in the coastal area.

This time, Yan Siqi gave Yu Xiaotian five Japanese iron cannons, which shows that he is also very sincere in befriending Yu Xiaotian, otherwise he would not have taken out so many good things to give to Yu Xiaotian.

It's a pity that now this kind of Japanese iron cannon has become synonymous with garbage in the eyes of Xiaotian, and if someone gave him a few of this guy more than a year ago, it is estimated that he would be grateful, but now he has basically realized the self-sufficiency of muskets, and it is also a flintlock pistol beyond this era, and this Japanese iron cannon is naturally not eye-catching.

Even the arquebuses now used by the Portuguese, Spaniards and the Dutch are not uncommon in Yu Xiaotian.

But for Yan Siqi's deliberate overture, Yu Xiaotian still appreciates it, both of them now want to be friendly with each other, and both of them are willing to cooperate with each other, so the next thing is much easier.

After Yu Xiaotian happily accepted the gift from Yan Siqi, he beckoned his subordinates to accompany Yan Siqi's subordinates to push the cup and drink it, the atmosphere on the wine field on both sides was quite good, and they were all pirates, and their temperaments were relatively bold, and now people on both sides wanted to make friends with each other, so naturally this wine was drunk.

During the banquet, Yu Xiaotian also revealed part of his plan to pass through the northern part of Taiyuan Island to Yan Siqi, Yan Siqi originally knew that Yu Xiaotian occupied Jilong Bay, and he had already guessed that Yu Xiaotian and he actually had similar ideas, that is, they wanted to occupy a place on Taiyuan Island as their old camp.

Now Yu Xiaotian told him that in addition to Jilong Bay, the sea wolf also occupies a place in the big river in the north, after Yan Siqi heard it, when he nodded yes again and again, and said that he Yan Siqi is willing to cooperate with Yu Xiaotian to operate Taiyuan Island in the future.

Moreover, Yan Siqi also said that he is willing to use the area of Bengang, where he is currently located, from the north of the nameless stream in the middle of Taiyuan Island, as the territory of the sea wolf, and he Yan Siqi and his subordinates will never reach out to the north of that big stream in the future.

The reason why Yan Siqi is willing to express his stance is because Taiwan Island is too big in his eyes, and the place he currently occupies is not small, and it cannot be filled by tens of thousands of people, and even if he develops in the future, he may not be able to occupy the entire Taiwan Island.

Therefore, instead of having a bad relationship with Yu Xiaotian because of the problem of territory, it is better to be generous and directly divide the land with the sea wolf on Taiyuan Island for governance, and the two sides will have any conflicts in the future because of the province.

Another reason is that after he came to Nanri Island, he found that this group of sea wolves was more powerful than he imagined, not only did they have strong ships and guns, but also the sea wolves were all well-trained, not comparable to ordinary pirates at all, so Yan Siqi wanted to make Yu Xiaotian a friend, so that he could also have one more help, no one would know what would happen to Lu Dao at sea in the future, there are now many pirates along the coast of Daming, if he can make friends with sea wolves, then it will undoubtedly be beneficial to him in the Taiwan Strait in the future. It would be quite helpful.

Therefore, Yan Siqi deliberately lowered his posture and took the initiative to express his willingness to divide the land with the sea wolf and become friends with the sea wolf in the future.

Yu Xiaotian thought about this for a while, and asked people to get a general topographic map of Taiwan Island, found the location of a river on it, pointed it out and said to Yan Siqi: "Brother Yan! Is the big stream you are talking about the river? ”

Yan Siqi took a look at the map and found that this map was drawn quite well, basically drawing the general topography of the entire Taiyuan Island, and some major rivers and mountains along the coast were also roughly marked, so he was quite surprised, and after carefully looking for the position he currently occupied, he judged the location of the river that Yu Xiaotian was referring to, so he nodded again and again: "Not bad!" It's this big stream! The local natives call it Da Belly Creek, if Yu Dangjia is willing, how about we take it as a boundary? ”

Yu Xiaotian touched his chin and smiled, nodded and said, "Brother Yan has a good eye!" Hehe! From this big belly creek to the south, it is a plain land with a flat river, which is really suitable for reclamation, and the north of the big belly creek is mostly hilly, and there are not as many barren fields that can be expanded as in the south! ”
