When Danniang was mistaken by Cai's for Huo Dingpo, the first thing she said was to see Tianbaozai, no matter what kind of person Cai Lian was, it was impossible if she didn't have any ideas in her heart.

Li Yan came out all the way, Cai's people had strange eyes, but Tianbaozai was famous, and after the Tianbo Division Conference, no one dared to stop him at this time and ask: "What did my Huoding Niangniang tell you?" ”

"Ah Jiu girl." Li Yan happened to catch a glimpse of Yan Ajiu, who was hugging two wine urns and walking forward: "I don't know where Boss Cai is now." ”

Yan Ajiu stared at Li Yan expressionlessly, and did not answer.

"I want to talk to your boss Cai."

Li Yan smiled.

"My boss said he didn't want to see a guest today."

"Then you will send him a message for me. No problem, right? ”

"Yes."

"You tell Cai Lian that I can take her away."

“…… Well? ”

"I'm done, just pass the word."

……

"Thirteen years ago, Canton issued a ban on smoking, and from that time on, the opium of the British would pass from the port of Calcutta to our Tianbo Division, and then flow into the coast of the South Seas. Here, I can monopolize forty percent of the gross profit, and without Hasting, it will take ten times more manpower and effort to barely be able to get the business to the scale it is today. ”

Hasting, Viceroy of England in India, Grand Director of the East India Company.

Next to Cai holding hands, there was a wine urn, and the sweet aroma of wine was overflowing. There was a faint drunkenness on his face, and Li Yan sat opposite.

Yan Ajiu poured a full wine paddle for the two of them and stepped aside.

Li Yan also drank all the wine in the cup, this "Taiqing Red Cloud" was originally a tribute wine in the Han Dynasty, with a very low degree, but it can be preserved to this day, and the stamina is great. He shook his head, half jokingly, half sincerely:

"It's true that Boss Cai does a big business, but opium is a thing, and the country harms the people, and Boss Cai's money can't be spent in a few lifetimes, so why do you want to do such a thing that damages yin morality?"

Cai Lian was not annoyed, but nodded: "I believe that Brother Tianbao's words are sincere." It's just that this is a good word, but it's also a ......" The corners of his mouth glanced down: "Useless words." ”

He waved his hand and said: "The world pursues profits, and the mantis arm will die when it is a car, and only those who are coerced by the general trend can stand on the cusp of the waves." ”

Li Yan shook his head, disagreeing with this. It's just that he is the laziest to argue about the truth, so he has to say it to Cai.

"The princes of the temple know the scourge of opium, but what they can't see is the unprecedented changes after opium, and the crisis of land sinking."

Li Yan raised his glass: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Cai Lian may be drunk, or maybe after the Tianbo Division, Cai's mind does not need to be hidden in front of the South Sea Pirates.

"The country of red hairs, in the west of the world, the East India Company, where can we grow so much opium?"

"India."

"Not bad. Ten years ago, the battle for the fall of Mysore, India, was commanded by Hasting. ”

Cai Lian said again: "Brother Tianbao, you raise your eyes and see, what is the world like today?" Outside the borders of the country has long been the world of the British, you see, in fifty years, India will not be a country. But the cannon of the red hair is not only India. Nowadays, there are more than 10,000 miles of southeast China Sea territory, and various countries trade and preach, and come and go freely. From India to the South Seas, from the South Seas to China, the name of reconciliation is the plan of devouring. ”

Cai Lian's eyes shone brightly: "My above two sentences, it will take decades for the current government princes to figure out the taste." ”

He paused: "Opium, I can not sell it, Tianbo Division, even a piece of opium of the East India Company will not flow into the South Seas." And as a result, you have seen ......"

If it was someone else, he would naturally hear it in the clouds, but who was Li Yan, he put down the wine glass all of a sudden.

"Hongmaozi wants to fight Guangdong, you already know?"

"Hehe, Brother Tianbao can be more direct, what do you want to ask, is the matter of Hongmaozi fighting Guangdong behind my back?"

Li Yan raised his eyebrows and didn't speak.

Cai folded his fingers: "England, France, Rakshasas, Portugal, the four countries are now in turmoil, and the country is in a depression." I just revealed to Hasting, the government forced me to be too tight, his goods, at the end of the year, Hastings is an adventurer, he can't get it at the negotiation table, he has to get it from the battlefield, and I don't need to tease the rest of the matter. ”

Li Yan bowed his head: "At the beginning of the fall of Guangdong, the Anglo-Portuguese coalition army sailed into the waters of the South Seas in the name of suppressing bandits...... Aren't you afraid of playing with fire and setting yourself on fire? “

Cai Lian took a sip of the wine cup and said leisurely: "Just because you can't see others clenching their fists doesn't mean that this fist won't hit you in the face." Knowing the pain early is much better than knowing the pain later. ”

He glanced at Li Yan again: "Of course, the one who steals the hook steals, and the one who steals the country Hou." ”

Leah smashed his mouth: "Boss Cai, I'm a rough person, I don't know anything except fighting, killing and killing, but what you said today taught me one thing." ”

"Oh."

"Men love Wu Hook, don't dance for the beetle."

Cai Lian was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Brother Tianbao said that he laughed, now, I want to dance Wu Hook for you, oh no, for your Xiu'er League leader." ”

Li Yan snorted, picked and chosen, threw two peanuts into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Those words just now came out of your mouth and mine, and they rotted in your stomach." Let's get down to business. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Huoding Niangniang."

Cai Yan didn't speak, he quietly glanced at Yan Ajiu behind him.

"What, my mouth is a little bigger?"

"It doesn't matter. The Tianbao brothers have something to say. ”

"Reason, you don't have to ask, promise me three conditions, Huoding Niangniang, I'll take it away."

Yan Ajiu couldn't hold back, the tear mole turned into a drop of water and fell down, and the eyes that looked at Li Yan were full of murderous aura.

Cai Yan didn't stop it, but he didn't reprimand Li Yan, he just drank his drink.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely cold.

Yan Ajiu's fists clenched, and after a long time, he relaxed a little, and his head hung down.

Cai Lian's voice was hoarse: "Please speak." ”

"First, Fu Lin's promise was fulfilled before the army was dispatched, and he promised me a ransom, which seems to be 300,000 taels."

"This is what was said before, so it should naturally count."

"I mean, here, you give me 100,000 taels of jewelry, live pigs and sheep, jade, what exactly is included, I will make a list for you. Another 200,000 taels of silver. ”

"What else?"

"Second, I heard that in the hands of the government, there is a kind of drawing that can make a two-hundred-meter fortune boat, one is in the Ministry of Industry of the government, and the other is in the hands of the Lin family of the treasure ship.

"I know that there are large shipyards on Lantau Island and old shipwrights that have been passed down for generations, but with all due respect, the raw materials needed for this kind of ship can no longer be found in the whole South Seas."

"You don't have to worry about that."

Li Yan smiled, Nanyang didn't have it, but Yan Fu had endless fruits, and a large number of people walked to hang the purchase authority that they couldn't use to the auction house, and there were no raw materials that couldn't be bought.

"Third ......"

Li Yan's lips twitched.

Cai Lian listened to it for a while, his expression gradually became solemn, and he spoke for a long time: "Forgive Cai's stupidity, Brother Tianbao's move, except for forcing the red-haired dog to jump off the wall in a hurry, I don't see the slightest need." What's more, Lantau Island is blessed with a unique location, so why bother with the red flag......"

"You just let me do this, it's for Bo's death."

Cai Lian played with the wine cup: "Haha, no wonder, no wonder Brother Tianbao, laugh at me for being a conspirator, the Red Flag Gang is indeed worthy of the name of the Zheng family of Baodao." ”

"Boss Cai, are you ashamed of me?"

"Where, where~"

"Boss Cai, you are a businessman who chases fame and fortune, I am a martial artist who rolls with knives and guns, and when the stakes are coming, I have to be ruthless, but I eat blood and don't use national weapons."

Cai Lian's tone couldn't hear the emotion: "Bo blood food? Tianbao leader, you have 60,000 people under your command! Do you still need to eat blood? ”

Li Yan clenched his fists and shook his head again, Taiqing Hongyun's stamina came up, and his head swelled: "Yes, sixty thousand people." ”

Cai Lian glanced at Li Yan a few times: "A word is a certainty." ”

Li Yan nodded: "A word is a certainty." ”

"Zhang He won't be honest."

"Isn't that better."

"Oh, I forgot, your Red Flag Gang coveted Taiping Wenshu, and it's not a day or two."

"When will the troops be sent?"

"Tonight."
