The difficulties faced by Li Huamei were fatal. Her backer in the official mansion, Xu Moumou, a senior official in the DPRK and Central China who believes in foreign religion, was suddenly deprived of her post and questioned because of the Dengzhou recruitment rebellion. There is a way that the tree falls and scatters. As soon as the backer fell, the originally amiable prefect of Hangzhou suddenly turned his face. Li Huamei dotted up and down, but she couldn't see the prefect when she spent money.

It is not yet known what kind of punishment will be imposed on the Li family's water master. The most serious situation is that he was branded as a fellow party of Xu and completely wiped out.

Over the years, the Li family's private fleet has crisscrossed the East and earned countless fortunes. Although there are also profits to officials at all levels in Hangzhou, how can eggs be as fragrant as a whole chicken? Before, there were big bosses in the DPRK and China who suppressed it on it, and although everyone coveted it, they could only think about it. Xu Mou fell, and many people suddenly saw the opportunity to kill chickens, and they were inevitably itchy.

Li Huamei's response was to turn to Richard Huisen, a shareholder of the Li family's water division and an Englishman. However, the Englishman was not reliable, and in turn, the lion opened his mouth and demanded half of the control of the Li family's sailors. That's pretty excessive.

Maybe he thought that he had firmly grasped Li Huamei's weakness, and Richard Huisen's attitude was quite tough. If he didn't agree to his terms, he would never help.

In order to join the people of the Li family, Li Huamei's attitude has not been tough. is always negotiating and negotiating with the British, knowing that he is an insatiable white-eyed wolf, but he still does not explicitly refuse him. Recently, perhaps because of the rumors that the Hangzhou official was about to take action against the Li family's sailors, Richard Huisen's asking price was even higher. He even asked Li Huamei to marry him! Take the entire Li family water master as a dowry. This is also too much. Ivanka heard it next to her and wanted to pick up the kettle and smash it on Richard's head.

However, Li Huamei still held back and only said that she would think about it for a few days.

In the end, Ivanka said angrily: "That Englishman, he is really arrogant! He literally thought of himself as a savior. He proudly said that only when he and his fleet put pressure on the Hangzhou government could they save the Li family's sailors. I—I'm not reconciled! ”

"Oh, so you're here to ask me for help, aren't you?"

Ivanka's face suddenly showed "I've seen through!" looks. But isn't it obvious, saying so much, isn't it just to find a way to find me, could it be that you just want to talk to me?

"Hmph, this, if you can help, it's ...... too"

If you're tsundere, you're tsundere, can't you be honest and straightforward?

Nan Xiao cocked Erlang's legs: "Regarding the plight of the Li family's water master, I actually know something." During this time, I went deep into the bottom of Hangzhou and conducted detailed and complete research."

"Gambling money." Female ninja Rin said.

"Ahem, is there anything closer to life than a gambling stall? In short, I have understood the plight of the Li family's water master. Too rich, and lack the ability to protect themselves. It's like a three-year-old child holding money through the downtown area, isn't it normal to be targeted? ”

"Is there anything you can do about it?"

"Of course I have a solution, but I don't need to say it. Want the Li family sailor to turn the corner? Just entrust me with it. Don't worry about what to do, I'll take care of it for you. ”

Ivanka was skeptical at first, but under Nan Xiao's gaze, her resistance gradually melted. "Really? We don't have to worry about anything, we just entrust you? When she said this, she was actually inclined to accept it.

Nan Xiao smiled confidently: "Don't worry, just leave this matter to me." By the way, I think we should negotiate the compensation, what do you think? ”

"Y-how much do you want?"

"A large galley, with a hold full of the best silk fabrics from Hangzhou, water and food, ready to leave the port at any time. Sailors don't have to be equipped, I can hire them myself. ”

Ivanka's eyes narrowed: "You actually want the flagship of the Li family's sailors?" You obviously know that there is one of the large galleys in this Hangzhou port, which is the Chunshen, the flagship of Admiral Huamei. ”

"I didn't say I had to be Chunshen. Any large galley will do, and now you can make a custom one. ”

Ivanka was so angry that her neck turned red: "However, the port of Hangzhou does not yet have the ability to make large galleys. The Chunshen is a retired Ming Navy warship, and there is no craftsman who can make that kind of big ship at the moment. You obviously just want the Chunshen number. No, this request is too much, and the Admiral will not agree to it. She grew up aboard the Chunshen, which was her home. ”

"Okay, I can give in a little bit."

Ivanka suddenly looked expectant: "Then ......"

"I'm willing to lease the Chunshen for three months."

"Lend!"

"Well, it's okay to just rent a boat, and it's okay to be empty. But at least give me enough water and food. ”

Ivanka thought for a while and replied, "I will bring your conditions to Admiral Huame." ”

The next day, Ivanka came again, this time with a message, saying that Li Huamei wanted to have an interview with Nan Xiao.

It's a little exciting to finally meet the celebrities of the Age of Discovery.

However, the excitement is now fading. Celebrities seem to be just like that, not much better than themselves.

This feeling was confirmed again after seeing Li Huamei with my own eyes.

She was beautiful, capable, intelligent, and courageous, with a good speech and impeccable manners. However, I always feel a little weak, emotionally introverted, and not the kind of person who is very passionate.

"Mr. Nan, your conditions, I've heard Ivanka say. Leasing the Chunshen is not too much of a problem, and even I can provide sailors. If you need a professional, I have some people here who can lend you as well. ”

"Good."

"But I have a question, how are you going to let the Li family sailor through this crisis? I must hear your plan, a plan that is complete, clear, and not hidden at all. ”

is worthy of being the commander of the Li family's water division, and it is much more difficult to fool than Ivanka. Catching eye with Li Huamei, Nan Xiao had a feeling that if she lied, she would definitely be able to detect it.

Nan Xiao decided to tell the truth: "It's very simple, whoever is eyeing the Li family's water master, I will go and talk to him." What's the use of making more money, after death, it's nothing more than a three-foot loess sweep. Once he realized this, his ambition for the Li family's sailor was eliminated. If Master Li can appropriately increase the profit and give him some sweetness, I think he will be very willing to accept it. ”

"You want to threaten the prefect of Hangzhou? Do you know what you're doing? There are also many armed men in the prefect's yamen, and hundreds of people live in the palace to protect him at all times. You'll be killed before you even see his face. ”
