Wei Pengyun looked at Wang Xuan in confusion, "What does Brother Wang want this thing for." ”

"Brother Wei should know that my family is in the cloth business, of course, it is used to produce cloth."

Wei Pengyun looked at Wang Xuan's eyes and rolled a few times, "Brother Wang needs a lot?" ”

"A lot, I'm going to build a factory to specialize in the production of cloth, so that the cost is lower, so to speak, I want as much cotton and linen yarn as I want."

"Factory?"

"It's a huge workshop."

Wei Pengyun picked up a glass of wine and slowly drank it on his lips, his eyes staring at the table but his eyes were unfocused, obviously he was deep in thought.

Wang Xuan's words reminded him that there was not much difference between this warship and a cargo merchant ship, and it was enough to unload the weapons on it, and as the person in charge of the Haijiang Guard, he knew very well the convenience and profits of shipping.

Although the Ming Dynasty forbade the sea, it did not mean that there was no trade on the sea, but that the trade was developed.

And he, the commander of the Fuzhou Mansion Guard, can have a big ship in his hand, and there is no shortage of sailors, plus the force of the warship itself, ordinary pirates do not dare to provoke themselves, in that case, being a maritime merchant is much faster than letting those subordinates farm the land or something now!

"Smack!"

"Crackling!"

Wei Pengyun thought that he had made so much money invisibly over the years, and immediately felt distressed and slammed the row of tables, and the shaking dishes, chopsticks and dishes made a chaotic sound.

Only then did Wei Pengyun react, and showed an embarrassed and polite smile at Wang Xuan, "I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now." ”

Of course, Wang Xuan can guess what is going on, after all, today's words are all designed, where does he, Master Wang, have so much energy to do what shipping by himself now, it is enough to pay for it.

In fact, as long as Wang Xuan is willing to let out the news, there is no shortage of businessmen in Fuzhou Mansion who run the sea, and he can't buy anything he wants, so why should he waste time by making these messy things, and he is not trying to make money.

Today, all this is designed for Wei Pengyun, and the purpose is to pull the other party into the water and form a community of interest alliances, which is convenient for him to meddle in the affairs of the military.

"Brother Wang is his own person, I won't hide some things from you, our guard is now, it is very difficult to live, the food and salary of the military department, there are definitely less than three layers of food, they all say that we have to eat empty salary, specially, this is not no way, according to the little things sent above, thirty percent of the soldiers can't afford to raise, everyone wants to live, so they can only find a way to make some money!"

Wei Pengyun rubbed his hands as he spoke, and looked at Wang Xuan with some embarrassment, after all, Wang Xuan is a scholar, and in the general environment, he is naturally the opposite of these martial artists, although this point is now in Wang Xuan's body Wei Pengyun did not see it, but he couldn't help but be a little afraid that Wang Xuan would look down on him.

Being a soldier to do business is a bit excessive in itself.

Seeing Wang Xuan's face sank, Wei Pengyun's heart suddenly suddenly, but he heard Wang Xuan say: "Where did Brother Wei come from, how can I not know the disadvantages of the court, I am not one of those rotten Confucians, I think that the world will be peaceful all day long, that's nonsense!" ”

"This world was fought by Taizu and a group of noble ancestors!"

"People have to eat, and soldiers need to eat even more, what is the little food after the layers of deductions, how can you protect the country and kill the enemy if you can't eat enough!"

Syllable!

Wei Pengyun couldn't help but slap the table again, "Brother Wang is so right, come, have a drink!" ”

Wang Xuan stretched out his hand to stop Wei Pengyun, "Change the big bowl, how can this little thing taste like wine!" ”

"Ahahahaha, Brother Wang, interesting, interesting!"

A maid came over to change the big bowl, and the two of them were each full, Wei Pengyun picked up the wine bowl, and said with a sigh on his face: "In this world, there are not many people who can get the likes of our martial artists, the last one is Mr. Wang Yangming, and now, it is you Wang Xuan Wang Zaizhi!" ”

"Don't you dare to be in the same column as Mr. Yang Ming!" Although Wang Xuan's cheekiness was beyond imagination, Wei Pengyun still made him blush a little when he compared him to Wang Yangming.

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

The two big bowls collided slightly, and the two of them looked up and drank a bowl of wine, Wei Pengyun reached out and wiped the corners of his mouth, and laughed: "It's still this pleasure!" ”

Putting down the wine bowl, Wang Xuan said with a smile: "I understand what Brother Wei means, don't worry, I do everything in a clear place, I want as many goods as you can ship, provided that the price is fair, after all, I want a large amount, and the price is lower than the average market price." ”

"I understand this, doing business is about integrity, Brother Wang rest assured!"

"Then it's decided!"

"It's decided!"

The two of them made another bowl of wine and settled the matter.

"Brother Wei, I still need a group of manpower here, burning bricks, building factories, etc., now there is a shortage of manpower, I don't know ...... on your side"

Wang Xuan said seemingly inadvertently, this is his second purpose, one is to find a group of workers, and the other is to select a group of talents from these soldiers, and slowly make them all his own people, at least get a thousand people back, and then slowly think about how to overhead Wei Pengyun.

"This is a trivial matter, how many people does Brother Wang want!" Wei Pengyun didn't care at all, he relied on these soldiers to work and make money on weekdays.

"At least a thousand!"

"That's all, well, okay, go back to my side and choose someone."

After all the two things were done, Wang Xuan secretly made a gesture behind him, and the drunk Hongchen who was hiding in the dark took a clear look.

"Cousin!"

The two were chatting, a soft and crisp shout sounded, and with the sound of footsteps, a girl with a little powder, dressed pure and cute, but with a bit of charm in her eyes, ran over.

"Ahh

The girl found that there were still outsiders here, covered her mouth and screamed softly, a red cloud slowly rose on her delicate skin as white as jade, her eyes glanced at Wei Pengyun lightly, and she avoided it in a little panic, biting her lower lip gently, rubbing the corners of her clothes with both hands, looking at a loss.

This faint glance, in Wei Pengyun's opinion, has a bit of natural charm, 'grunt', Wei Pengyun couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his eyes stared at the girl, which made the girl even more shy.

Wang Xuan secretly praised Drunk Hongchen in his heart, and sure enough, beautiful women are born to act.

"Little sister is here, come here, let me introduce you, this is not an outsider, he is the general of the imperial court, the commander of Fuzhou Wei, and Lord Wei Pengyunwei."

Wang Xuan turned his head to look at Wei Pengyun, who was already completely dumbfounded by the drunken Yanyang Gong fan, and smiled, "Brother Wei, Brother Wei......"

Without waking him up two times in a row, Wang Xuan rolled his eyes and directly stretched out his hand to poke him.

"Ahh ~Ahh ”

"I ...... I! Wei Pengyun's somewhat dark old face turned completely red, and it was a bit embarrassing for others to show this kind of pig brotherhood.

"Hahaha, Brother Wei, let me introduce you, this is my distant cousin, my parents passed away some time ago, so I came to me, my sister's surname is Chen, and her name is drunk."

"Brother~!" Drunk Hongchen stomped his feet lightly, his little feet gently rubbed on the ground, lowered his head and said shyly: "How can my brother casually tell the name of the slave family to outsiders." ”

"Hahaha, if you don't count as an outsider, you can also call Brother Wei."

Biting the corner of his mouth gently, Drunk Hongchen glanced at Wei Pengyun with a blushing face, and lightly snuggled, "I've seen Brother Wei." ”

"Good, good." Wei Pengyun was so happy that his soul was gone, his hands touched around his body, and the jade pendant on his waist was torn off, and then he walked to Drunk Hongchen with a smile and said, "The first time we met, this, this jade pendant will be given to the little sister." ”

Drunk Hongchen didn't dare to pick it up, just looked up at Wang Xuan.

"Okay, take it, it's all your own family."

Drunk Hongchen stretched out his hand to take it, "Thank you, Brother Wei, the little sister won't bother the two of you to eat and drink, I'll step back." ”

After speaking, he twisted like a thin waist, and his body swayed gently, like a fine willow in the wind, and slowly walked out.

Wei Pengyun stood in place in a daze, and saw saliva involuntarily flowing out.

Wang Xuan patted Wei Pengyun on the shoulder, and the other party was excited, so he quickly reached out and wiped his saliva.

"Brother Wei likes the little sister, so why not marry him."

"Alas, alas, bitterly, bitterly, I have already married a wife many years ago, alas, alas!"

I don't know if it's because Drunk Hongchen's female skills are too powerful with her own advantages or what, Wei Pengyun's gritted teeth are really a bit funny and embarrassing.

"That'...... That would only be effective in imitating the ancients and marrying a flat wife! ”

"Really?"

"What's this!"

"Brother Wang." Wei Pengyun excitedly grabbed Wang Xuan's hands and clenched them tightly, "What you said is true, you are really willing!" ”

"Hahaha." Wang Xuan resisted the urge to kick Wei Pengyun to death, and pulled his hands back hard, "What's so reluctant about this, Brother Wei is a dignified and third-grade official, and it is not a humiliation for the little sister to follow Brother Wei, her parents are not there, of course I can call the shots as an elder brother!" ”

"Haha, hahahahaha!" Wei Pengyun raised his head and laughed wildly, "Then from now on, you will be my eldest brother, the family doesn't talk to each other, if there is anything, come to me directly!" ”

"Then, I'm not going to call Brother Wei brother-in-law?"

"Brother-in-law is good, brother-in-law is good, brother-in-law looks young!"

The corners of Wei Pengyun's mouth grinned to the root of his ears, and his gums were sticking out.

In fact, Wei Pengyun's grade is not too big, 35 years old, the border generals are different from civilian officials, they are not too old, after all, they are going to lead troops to fight, and the old man can't go to the battlefield.

In the Ming Dynasty, the only person who could be the commander of one side was a civilian official, so ...... The older generals are all gone.

This marriage was decided in a few words between the two, Wei Pengyun was not in the mood to continue drinking this time, all he was thinking about was the appearance of drunk Hongchen, and after drinking two glasses with Wang Xuan, he hurriedly said goodbye, he wanted to go back and prepare well.

This can be regarded as a typical old husband and young wife, according to the age given by Wang Xuan, Drunk Hongchen is not much older than his son, and Wei Pengyun's heart is about to melt.

After taking Wei Pengyun away, Drunk Hongchen walked in from the dark place again, and generously did it next to Wang Xuan, "Lord, what should I do later?" ”

"It's up to you, if you don't like it, I don't care if you suck him dry in a few years, a three-grade guard commander is just a three-grade guard commander, there are more than 400 guards in the Ming Dynasty, there is no shortage of him, and it's nothing to make up for his own people later."

"When the time comes, I will change your identity, and if you are willing to live a good life, you will find a man again."

Drunk Hongchen gently stroked the hair of his sideburns, "Man...... Forget it, I've seen too much of the experiences of those sisters, and there are no good things for men. ”

"There are still any!" Wang Xuan coughed dryly, I am still there.

"Giggles...... "The flowers and branches of the drunk Hongchen laughed for a while, and there was a different style, "The lord is a good person, but it's a pity that he can't look down on us broken flowers and willows." ”

"It's not." Wang Xuan shook his head and didn't explain.

Since it was a serious marriage, all kinds of preparations were indispensable, and Wang Xuan didn't care about so much, it was enough to directly ask Steward Zhao to help watch the point, and he went to the guard office the next day to start selecting people.

When he went to the guard, Wang Xuan took him with him, and some of the things Wang Xuan had to hand over to him to handle, during this time, in addition to quietly practicing the swordsmanship to ward off evil spirits, he also knew the things that Wang Xuan had instilled.

Looking at the more and more neutral green and white, Wang Xuan pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, these guards in the south were basically abolished, and there should be 5,600 military households with 5,600 soldiers, and no less than 20,000 people.

In fact, Wang Xuan rode a horse and walked around the vicinity of the guard and found that there were too many escapes, not to mention 5,600, it would be good to have 3,000 households.

The population is quite a lot, and it is enough to meet Wang Xuan's requirements.

The person who received Wang Xuan was a thousand generals under Wei Pengyun, and Wang Xuan was not polite, and directly asked for a thousand strong people, those below the age of thirty.

Although Wang Xuan asked for a lot, but the salary was sufficient, not to mention food and housing, no one had two taels of silver every year, which was equivalent to making the family have enough food and clothing, and the registration was naturally enthusiastic.

A thousand people were carefully selected, and Wang Xuan, who was an official, didn't ask for it, and he would slowly screen it after he went back.

Firing red bricks, cement, textile mills, shipyards, Wang Xuan is ready to make some big industries in Fujian, envelop more people, and make more money, after all, although his silver bullet offensive is powerful, but the consumption rate of silver is also huge.

If you want to control a place, then the first thing you should do is control the economy, after all, the economic base determines the superstructure!

After people get it back, Wang Xuan doesn't have to worry too much, naturally someone will help him select talents among them, if it is suitable for martial arts, he will get Tian Boguang's Ten Thousand Daomen, and if it is not suitable, it will not be bad to stay in the factory to work and support his family.

Seven days later, it was the auspicious day of the zodiac selected by Wei Pengyun, and he married 'Chen Zuihong' back with great fanfare, since he was a flat wife, it was no worse than his original main room, and with Wang Xuan's support behind him, he would not suffer a loss.

The reason why he sent people over was just to control Wei Pengyun.

The affairs of Fuzhou Mansion were put aside for the time being, and Wang Xuan set his sights on Funing Prefecture.

The reason why Funing Prefecture is the first choice for expanding power is because there is a giant whale gang there.

This giant whale gang specializes in maritime 'business', and to put it bluntly, this business is the same as what Wang Xuan did in the Caribbean, commonly known as 'pirates'!

The reason why they are called giant whales is to represent the meaning of huge and devouring, and their predecessors are the descendants of those who participated in Zheng He's voyage to the West.

After Zheng He, the imperial court banned the sea, and these people who participated in the year became children that no one wanted, everyone regarded them as hot potatoes, and in the end it became a problem to eat, so they could only use the ships left behind to do some business, anyway, there was no shortage of talents from manufacturing to repair.

And now Wang Xuan wants to develop maritime trade and shipbuilding, the first thing is to clean up these pirates, and of course, to gather a large number of shipwrights and sailors.

As the first stop of the expansion out of Fuzhou Mansion, Wang Xuan wanted to be clean and neat, and made a name for himself with one hit.

Sitting in a newly bought mansion in Funing Prefecture, Wang Xuan looked at Dai Zhutou who came over, "The liaison work between the head catcher and the official of the yamen here will be handed over to you." ”

"Rest assured, Lord!"

Since the Qinglou incident, in non-public places, basically everyone has called Wang Xuan the master.

Now there are very few things in the yamen of Fuzhou Prefecture, and most of them can be directly handed over to the 'white society' to operate, and they are all idle.

Of course, Wang Xuan will not raise them in vain, some time ago, led by Dai Zhutou, everyone began to visit 52 other counties in eight other provinces in Fujian, the main purpose is to contact the local head catchers.

In Wang Xuan's plan, in the future, all the fast arresting officials will be handed over to Dai Yutang for liaison management, so he is also focused on training.

Wang Xuan's requirements for Dai Yutang are not in force, but more in communication and management.

In the evening, Dai Zhutou invited all three headhunters from Funing Prefecture to meet Wang Xuan.

"The villain has seen Master Wang." As soon as the three catchers entered the door, they hurriedly saluted respectfully to Wang Xuan, who was sitting on the main seat.

"Sit down!" Wang Xuan pressed his hand, "I've told you all about it!" ”

"Having said it, I will wait for everything to be ordered by Master Wang." The three of them had just sat down and quickly stood up, and replied respectfully.

"Okay, that's good, don't worry, I won't treat you badly." Wang Xuan turned his head to look at Dai Catcher, "Entertain a few catchers for me." ”

"It's all a family from now on, you're welcome."

Dai Zhutou nodded in response, and immediately walked out with the three of them.

The current reputation of Master Wang has been spread by his subordinates, and it is no longer the time when he was just starting out before, and he had to personally invite guests to accompany him to drink when he made friends with Dai Catcher, and now, it is already a face to be able to come out and meet these catchers.

As soon as a few people went out, Lu Yuanhua walked in, "I've seen the Lord." ”

This Lu Yuanhua is the person in charge of the Funing Prefecture Bai Society arranged by Wang Xuan, and he is arranged to complete a series of operations here.

"Are you all ready?"

"Rest assured, the Lord has trained two hundred people for more than a month, and they dare not say anything about dealing with those people in the rivers and lakes, but they are still sure of dealing with these scoundrels in the city." Lu Yuanhua assured with his chest.

Lu Yuanhua was brushed down from Tian Boguang, his martial arts talent is very average, and the most he can practice to the end in this life is Dingtian, and Wang Xuan also has arrangements for this group of people.

Life is not only about practicing martial arts, these people have no resistance to this, besides, life may not be worse than in Wandaomen.

"Okay, let's act tomorrow, first clean up these scoundrels in Funing Prefecture, and it can be regarded as a good deed for the people!"
