When Li Hanyao came back, Master Shi was talking and laughing in the company of Old Man Jiang and Jiang Yuxing. Hearing that the Shi family not only delivered the goods on schedule, but also had four building ships and ten medium-sized warships, and also gave Shi Biying, the second girl of Shi, to Jiang Rubo, Li Hanyao was a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at this Master Shi.

In his early years, Master Shi begged for a living at sea, his face was full of horizontal meat, and a pair of triangular eyes were fierce; Now that he is older, his temper has been restrained a lot, he has a big belly, and he often has a smile on his face, which makes people think that he has a belly that is tolerant of all rivers.

Seeing Li Hanyao, Master Shi first stood up to greet and reply, Li Hanyao asked him to sit, and he only sat on half of his buttocks, and he was not half contemptuous because Li Hanyao was a woman and young, and his attitude was very respectful.

Li Hanyao said with a smile: "Our contract with Shi Jiading only has two building ships and five medium-sized warships, how can the delivery be doubled?" ”

Master Shi looked upright and said sincerely: "There is a reason for this, and I don't dare to hide it from Miss Li: before General Xu was ordered by Zhennanhou and Pan Niangniang to force the Shi family to build a batch of warships, and also said that the Jiang family and the Li family would not be able to jump for a long time, so let the Shi family return all the boats built for the Jiang family and the Li family to the Southern Xinjiang Navy. - They didn't pay a penny of silver deposit, saying that the deposit paid by Miss Li was theirs. ”

When Jiang Rulan heard this, she was so angry that she raised her eyebrows.

Li Hanyao signaled her cousin not to be annoyed, and said to Master Shi: "So, Master Shi gave us their customized warship?" ”

Master Shi hurriedly said: "Yes, send!" ”

He deliberately emphasized the word "send".

Old Man Jiang explained to Li Hanyao with a smile on his face: "The old man of the in-laws said that the Moon Emperor defeated the Marquis of Zhennan, and these are considered trophies. ”

He deliberately emphasized the word "Moon Emperor", which means: The Shi family recognized Li Hanyao's identity as the Moon Emperor and was willing to obey the Moon Emperor's orders.

Li Hanyao understood, and smiled at Master Shi: "Master Shi understands righteousness. ”

When Master Shi saw that she accepted the Shi family's surrender, a big stone fell in his heart, and he smiled like something, and then he became a lot closer to the tone.

Li Hanyao didn't take Qiao either, and said: "Since you have become a relative, you have to take care of it." There is a deal here for the younger generation, and if the Shi family is interested, they can participate in it. ”

Master Shi was busy asking what kind of business to buy.

Li Hanyao said: "We customized this batch of warships, originally to prepare for the war, now that the Zhennan Hou has been destroyed, the south of the Yangtze River and the coast are temporarily pacified, there is no war, and the younger generation wants to develop maritime commerce." Jiangnan is rich in silk, cotton cloth, porcelain, lacquerware, bamboo, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and various wood carvings and stone carvings, which are all profitable transactions when shipped overseas. In recent years, the river and the sea have not been peaceful, and the younger generation intends to set up a water guard caravan to ensure the interests of the people and merchants. ”

Master Shi's eyes lit up and said, "Maritime trade? Yes, interested! ”

His reaction was all expected by Li Hanyao, and he asked with a smile: "How much capital does Master Shi plan to pay?" They all told their cousins to make arrangements. ”

This favor has to be done by the Jiang family.

Master Shi silently calculated in his heart before he said: "This batch of warships, in addition to the deposit that Miss Jiang has paid, there are 10 million taels of the final payment (the cost of the ship is fictitious, don't investigate), all of which are considered the capital of the Shi family." I'll raise another five million taels, for a total of fifteen million taels. The girl calculates how many shares she can occupy. ”

He is so generous, one is to see that this business is profitable, and the other reason is to show Li Hanyao his sincerity.

Li Hanyao said: "One share." ”

Master Shi's father and daughter were stunned.

Master Shi didn't seem to believe it, and asked, "So much, only to take one share?" ”

Li Hanyao explained: "This caravan is not exclusive to my Li family and the Jiang family, but all the major maritime merchants, brocade merchants, and porcelain merchants in the south of the Yangtze River must participate. ”

Otherwise, how could she use a warship to protect her!

Master Shi was dumbfounded when he heard this, felt his chest burning, his heart "thumped", and secretly thought to himself: "What scale is this?" ”

Old Man Jiang heard Li Hanyao talk about this for the first time, and he was busy asking what was going on.

Li Hanyao smiled and said, "When I issued the tax exemption decree a few months ago, I was planning for this. The first is to seek a source of livelihood for the people in Jiangnan, the second is to lead everyone to make a fortune, and the third is to increase taxes for the country and subsidize the tax exemption. The people of Jiangnan are willing to support and support me, how can I let everyone down, I must always lead everyone to live a good life, the society must be stable, and the people's livelihood must be stable......"

Jiang Rulan and Shi Biying looked at her with starry eyes.

Old Man Jiang also said excitedly: "Okay, good! ”

Master Shi rushed and said: "The Shi family will add another five million!" ”

All......

When Master Shi saw that these people, including his daughter, they all looked at him with strange expressions, as if he was impulsive and brainless, and he couldn't help but be embarrassed. Hurriedly explained: "I don't know how to govern the world, but I have managed the Shi family for many years, and I have also summed up some experience that is not on the table." I didn't add it indiscriminately, I have my judgment: Miss Li is tax-free for the people on the one hand, and on the other hand, she leads everyone to get rich to find income and increase taxes on the treasury, instead of exploiting the people from the people, such measures are well-intentioned; There is also this ability, turning the hand into the cloud and covering the hand into the rain; This mind touches the heavens and the earth...... Worthy of the Moon Emperor! With such a clear master, I am afraid that there will be no future......"

Li Hanyao was still too young, and his face was red from his indiscriminate praise, so he couldn't help but interrupt him with a smile and persuaded: "Master Shi, don't worry. There is also a condition for this transaction: it is necessary to first invest in guiding the people. The people are the foundation. The prosperous and Qingming, the prosperity of all industries, this maritime trade has been done for a long time. If the people are restless, the foundation is unstable; If you want to squeeze the people with a black heart, it will be like fishing in the dry water, and in the long run, it will inevitably lead to chaos; And in the troubled times, no matter how big the family business is, it will only be overnight. My Jiang family and Li family are lessons from the past......"

As she told the story, Master Shi kept nodding his head to "yes", praising "the Moon Emperor's high view" and "Moon Emperor's wisdom", and still insisted on adding five million.

Li Hanyao also went with him.

Looking at the Shi family's father and daughter, she smiled with satisfaction - this is the real subjugation of the Shi family, not just the binding of interests.

In the evening, the Jingjiang River estuary.

Zhao Chaozong's fleet was moored on the south shore of the wharf, and in the cabin of the main battle ship, Wang Yan had already unloaded his armor, dressed in a light blue brocade robe, with a handsome face, a bright and bright demeanor, exuding a faint majesty, and was sitting on the main seat, and the Vermilion Bird King sat aside, listening to Zhao Chaozong's return to Li Hanyao's side.

"The Qi family was ordered to be sealed up by Miss Li."

"Miss Li ordered Jiang Rucheng to garrison the Jingjiang estuary, and Hu Qiya upstream and downstream, respectively, to control the Jiangnan waterway and the sea gateway."

"Master Shi went to meet Mr. Jiang and handed over the shipbuilding contract signed before, and I heard that there are four building ships and ten medium warships......

"I heard that the Shi family and the Jiang family are married......"

When Wang Yan heard this, he interrupted him and asked, "Who is it for?" Jiang Rucheng? ”

Zhao Chaozong said: "Jiang Rubo." ”

Wang Yan's gaze suddenly turned to the depths.

Zhao Chaozong guessed his thoughts: he thought that the Shi family was set by Jiang Rucheng, and he would have one less rival in love, but who knew that it was Jiang Rubo, and he was happy in vain. It can be seen that the Jiang family kept Jiang Rucheng just to marry the Li family, and he was naturally unhappy. Zhao Chaozong was about to say something to comfort, when a burly figure broke in.
