Chapter XXVII
After solving the matter in front of him, Yang Xiu took Yang Zhicai and Gu Chen to the port area. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The boats of the Dongyi people are extraordinary, and they can be clearly distinguished from the outside just by looking at them, and the few fishing boats in Gray Pigeon Harbor are relatively simple, at most they are double-decked cabins.
Most of the ships that these Dongyi pioneers rode were three-story structures, more than ten meters high, and they were extremely powerful, and Yang Xiu was amazed to see them.
"All these big guys have been looted?" Yang Xiu asked.
"I've led people to clean it, and most of them are weapons and arrows." Yang Ping greeted him and replied.
"These boats are treasures, tell me to watch them tightly."
"Yes!"
"How's the damage going this time?" Yang Xiu pondered for a moment and asked again.
"There are more than 900 dead and wounded, and more than 100 people are frightened, and I am afraid that they will not be able to stay any longer." Yang Zhicai sighed.
"The rest will be integrated into a corps, and Gu Chen, you will re-establish the garrison corps."
"We just went through a big war, so let's have a good rest for two days."
"Young master, Miss Lu is not far from the Gray Pigeon Harbor, but do you want the old man to call her back?"
"Not for now, let's do it first." Yang Xiu squinted his eyes and shook his head, obviously having other ideas on how to deal with Lu Changfeng's cavalry regiment.
Coincidentally, just as Yang Xiu turned around and was about to leave, a Dongyi warship slowly appeared outside the port, and the lighthouses on both sides quickly lit flames to alert the enemy to an enemy attack.
"Young Master?" Yang Zhicai said hurriedly.
"Just a boat, let's go and have a look." Yang Xiu waved his hand and strode forward.
This ship was carrying no one else, it was Tanaka Sakura, who came non-stop and came to seek Yang Xiu's cooperation with enough sincerity.
When Yang Xiuwang saw Tanaka Sakura walk out of the cabin, he already understood that the Dongyi people were about to run out of water, and he was the only lifesaver for the Dongyi people now.
Yang Xiu's heart couldn't help but be overjoyed, his long-planned plan was finally about to be implemented, if the plan went well, Yang An would be trampled under his feet forever, and there would be no chance to turn over.
"I admire you so much!" Tanaka Sakura walked up to Yang Xiu and said with a smile.
"Each other, thanks to your news." Yang Xiu responded with a smile, Tanaka Sakura passed on the situation of the Dongyi army, providing a favorable intelligence basis for his own judgment, so he could prevent this surprise attack.
"It looks like you've gained a lot." Sakura Tanaka glanced at the dozen or so ships moored in the harbor and said gloatingly.
"My loss is even greater, don't stand, go back and talk about it." Yang Xiu sighed, revealing a sad look.
On the way back, Yang Xiu deliberately took Tanaka Sakura on foot, and the route was also to pick a few seriously burned ruins in the city, in order to convey such a message to Tanaka Sakura.
Gray Pigeon Harbor has suffered heavy losses, basically you have seen it all the way, and now if you talk about cooperation, the price paid is not as simple as originally agreed.
When they arrived at the Lord's Mansion, the two sat down, and Tanaka Sakura went straight to the point, not giving Yang Xiu a chance to play tricks.
"I'm here to find you to cooperate, and the conditions are for you to open."
"Don't you think it's a little late to talk about cooperation now?" Yang Xiu shook his head, his expression calm, making people a little confused about his thoughts.
"In fact, the cooperation is just right now, and no one can expect that you and I will be able to sit in the same room after meeting each other." Tanaka Sakura was not in a hurry or impatient, and her words pierced the meaning of Yang Xiu's words.
Tanaka Sakura is right, Yang Xiu and the Dongyi people have experienced such a tragic battle, and if they go to cooperate in an attempt to settle down, few people will suspect Yang Xiu after the matter is completed.
Even if someone suspects that Yang Xiu is in the way, Yang Xiu has plenty of excuses to argue for himself, and the deaths and injuries of nearly a thousand people are not child's play.
"It's okay to cooperate, but the price is different." Yang Xiu smiled, and finally showed the fox's tail.
"I said, the conditions are for you to open." Tanaka Sakura said with no joke.
"Shipbuilding skills and craftsmen, and secondly, I need a group of slaves." Yang Xiu said slowly.
"That's all?" Tanaka Sakura was a little surprised, this was obviously not like Yang Xiu's style.
"Of course not, from now on I will be solely responsible for your food supply."
"It can't be!" Sakura Tanaka immediately stood up and said with an angry face.
The meaning of Yang Xiu's words is obvious, in the future, all the food supplies of the Tanaka clan will be handed over to Yang Xiu, which is equivalent to giving the lifeblood of the Tanaka clan to Yang Xiu.
Even when the Tanaka clan cooperated with Yang An before, Yang An had no appetite to swallow all the supply business, and at most he was only responsible for about thirty percent.
The Tanaka clan has a population of nearly one million and an army of more than 100,000, and the food supply for so many people is astronomical, and if it is really all handed over to Yang Xiu, Tanaka Sakura is crazy, I am afraid that he will not agree.
"You don't believe me?!" Yang Xiu smiled strangely and asked thoughtfully.
"My Tanaka clan has a population of nearly one million, which is not much better than your Gray Pigeon City, and the food supply is related to the life and death of my Tanaka clan, I will not promise you." Sakura Tanaka spoke in a resolute tone, leaving no room for bargaining.
Yang Xiu originally meant to be tempted, and he didn't think that Tanaka Sakura would agree, but seeing Tanaka Sakura's fierce reaction, Yang Xiu became more and more sure that the current situation of the Tanaka clan was very likely to be very unoptimistic.
The balance of this cooperation is gradually tilting towards Yang Xiu's side.
"Then I'm going to be fifty percent, I'm afraid you won't agree now." Yang Xiu shook his head and took a step back.
"At most, there are many partners of the Tanaka clan, and Yang An and we have been talking about the supply of three percent." Sakura Tanaka shook her head, still not agreeing.
For the Dongyi people, food is fundamental, and in order to get enough rations, the Dongyi people are happy to pay a high price to buy it.
Nearly one million people have 30% of the food supply, what is the profit here, but anyone with some economic acumen can figure out that the profit of this business is very likely to be Yang An's economic lifeline.
Yang Xiu had this guess early on, the Andu Leader under Yang An was so prosperous and wealthy, and there were even Dongyi slaves for sale, most of whom had business dealings with the Tanaka clan.
It was also under the pretext of Dongyi's slaves that Yang An was able to place Tanaka Sakura next to Yang Xiu, but this move was cheaper than Yang Xiu.
"Forty percent, not even a little." Yang Xiu figured out these joints, and naturally tried his best to fight for points.
"One percent supply is the lives of 100,000 people, can you guarantee that there will be no problems?!" Sakura Tanaka was obviously still a little hesitant and a little skeptical.
"If something goes wrong, you come to pay off my head." Yang Xiu also let go, and swore a poisonous oath to Tanaka Sakura.
"I promise you on behalf of the Tanaka clan." Hearing this, Sakura Tanaka finally nodded.
"This business will take effect after you have plundered Ningzhen, and the fleet of grain will set off with you."
"Our fleet is only a day's journey from here." Sakura Tanaka said.
"The day after tomorrow, when you land, I will arrange everything, and I will arrange a guide for you."
"You must stay with me and send someone you can trust to report back." Yang Xiu said continuously, and demanded that Tanaka Sakura must stay.
"It seems you don't trust us."
"Those who are not of my race will have different hearts, and what the ancestors said is not unreasonable. Besides, you should know who I am. Yang Xiu said solemnly, and the meaning of his words was very straightforward.
"It's a pleasure to work with." Sakura Tanaka sighed and held out her hand.
"It's a pleasure to work with."
This scene is so familiar, when I shook hands with Lu Changfeng that day, the situation was not much different, what impact Tanaka Sakura and Lu Changfeng would have on Yang Xiu's rise to prominence, I'm afraid it will take time to verify.
......
The general direction of cooperation was discussed, and the details were discussed quickly, and when it was time for dinner, all the contents of the cooperation were finalized.
Yang Xiu was responsible for the food supply of Tanaka Forty Percent, and also included some daily necessities such as medicines and utensils, and the industrial level of the Dongyi people was indeed not good, so the daily necessities were basically purchased from Dongyi Province.
The Tanaka clan was responsible for providing Yang Xiu with ship-building technology, a large number of craftsmen and slaves, and a number of other goods for trade.
In fact, these businesses were all done by Yang An in the past, but now they are replaced by Yang Xiu.
After the two had a "happy" dinner, Tanaka Sakura hid in the room under the pretext of being unwell, but she didn't want to see Yang Xiu's annoying face.
Yang Xiu was not angry, and called Yang Zhicai's father and son and Gu Chen to discuss the matter of this cooperation, of course, the specific content of the cooperation Yang Xiu would definitely not be revealed.
Yang Xiu has already decided to hand over the landing of the Dongyi people to Lu Changfeng, and only Lu Changfeng is the most suitable for this kind of thing.
"Uncle Cai, please hand over this letter to Miss Lu tomorrow." Yang Xiu instructed Yang Zhicai first.
"I'll send it there early tomorrow morning." Yang Zhicai also knew that this matter was not ordinary, so he naturally gave priority to it.
"Tanaka Sakura's identity, I'm afraid you don't know it yet, she is a member of the Toyi Tanaka clan." Yang Xiu spoke again and mentioned Tanaka Sakura's identity.
The faces of the three people below were different, Yang Zhicai's father and son were only slightly surprised, and recovered in an instant, while Gu Chen was stunned on the spot, staring at Yang Xiu with wide eyes.
"She came this time to cooperate with us, we will sell them food, and they will not use force against us again."
"The young master agreed?" Yang Zhicai squinted and asked.
"Naturally, I agreed, and Grey Pigeon Harbor can't stand the test of war now." Yang Xiu sighed, looking quite helpless.
"It's all up to the young master to decide." Hearing this, Yang Zhicai sighed slightly and didn't say anything more.
"And after a while, Dongyi will send a group of craftsmen and slaves over to help us renovate the port and build a shipyard by the way."
"The slaves sent are put away for the time being, and I have other uses."
"The affairs of the garrison mansion, Gu Chen, you keep an eye on me."
"My subordinates understand." Hearing this, Gu Chen hurriedly replied, his tone slightly nervous.
"Yang Ping, I want you to rebuild the first step of the corps, the foundation is the 1,000 veterans who survived last night, expand it to 3,000 for me as soon as possible, and the combat effectiveness will be able to keep up, are you sure?" Yang Xiu looked at Yang Ping.
"I will definitely live up to the young master's trust." Yang Ping replied affirmatively.
"Let's go down."
A series of orders were arranged, and Yang Xiu was already fully prepared to meet this shocking plan that had been planned for a long time!
