"Lord Taiwei, the negotiation envoy sent by Zheng Feihuang has arrived, and the person who came is Wang Wufeng. "Soon after Li You returned to Qiantang with a large number www.biquge.info of prisoners and ships, the envoy of Jiangnan Dongdao arrived, and he was still a powerful figure.

"In this way, this Jiangnan Dongdao does have the heart to surrender, so let's go and meet this Mr. Wang." Li You and Qian Hua looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly felt good, it seems that Jiangnan Dongdao will soon be under the rule of Jiazhou, since then the south has been unified, half of the Great Wei is connected together, this vast and rich, populous land as the foundation, Li You can now basically be said to be invincible.

"That's a good thing, too." Qin Shixin shook his head a little unwillingly, the great work of recovering Jiangnan Dongdao should all be attributed to Qian Hua, which made him feel a little regretful, and it may make him feel relieved that the people of Jiangnan would experience less war.

The three of them came to the living room, Wang Wufeng had been waiting for a long time again, and when he saw Li You and the others coming out, he hurriedly got up and saluted, "The villain greets Lord Taiwei, General Qian, and General Qin." Now he no longer regards himself as a court official, but as a villain, and has already expressed his attitude towards this trip.

"Mr. Wang, please be seated." Li You also would not recognize his official position under the command of King Yue, and read a few polite words for the sake of his sincere attitude, "Mr. Wang has worked hard all the way, your people are eating and sleeping well in Qiantang right now, just waiting to go home, if Mr. Wang is interested later, Taiwei Ben can also let them be sent to the post house to meet Mr. Wang." ”

The premise for the return of those captured Wang family children to Jiangnan Dongdao is naturally that this negotiation is successfully reached, otherwise they can only be allowed to stay here.

Wang Wufeng also understood the meaning of Li You's words, and thanked him, "Thank you, Lord Taiwei, for your leniency, but the villain's behavior is a public matter, as for these private matters, let's talk about them later." ”

"Okay, Mr. Wang has a clear distinction between public and private, but he understands things better than many court officials." Li You praised it, and his evaluation of this person increased by one point, in addition to showing his attitude, he also didn't want these people to affect his negotiations, in this case, Li You was too lazy to talk nonsense, and asked directly, "Presumably Zheng Feicai has brought the news back, right?" I don't know what Mr. Wang, Mr. Zheng, and Mr. Yan mean? ”

"Lord Taiwei is generous and benevolent, and I am naturally willing to submit to Jiangnan Dongdao, but we all started in Jiangnan Dongdao, and we also want to seek some benefits for the people in this area." Wang Wufeng said frankly, "If in the future, the imperial court will still bully and oppress the people of Jiangnan Dongdao like the first emperor did during his reign, we might as well fight to the death." ”

Jiangnan Dongdao has many mountains and little land that is not conducive to farming, and the people rely on the sea to make a living, or go out to sea to fish, or sail away to exchange the exquisite utensils of the Great Wei Dynasty for gold and silver in exchange for gold and silver goods, which has brought them countless wealth, but also attracted the covetousness of corrupt officials, and those officials of the imperial court have regarded the Jiangnan East Province as a fat difference, and after taking office, they extorted maritime merchants, blackmailed the people, and countless people were ruined and killed by them, and Li You had heard of it in the past.

"In the past, Captain Ben also knew something." Li You nodded to understand his concern, "But now it's different, the reason why these corrupt officials did all kinds of evil before, firstly, is that the imperial court has no relevant laws against maritime trade, and the likes and dislikes are decided by the local officials, and secondly, many of you maritime merchants want to use the power of the government to deal with competitors, so as to lure the wolf into the house, am I right?" ”

"Lord Taiwei's name, there are indeed such unscrupulous people." A cold sweat broke out on Wang Wufeng's forehead, he didn't do anything like this at the beginning, and many small maritime merchants were ruined by him by the hands of the government, so he and Zheng Feihuang and others could monopolize the maritime trade in Jiangnan Dongdao and accumulate a family business that was rich enough to rival the country.

"The past matter will not be pursued by Taiwei Ben, but if anyone wants to do this from now on, Taiwei Ben will let him know the power of the government." After a warning, Li You talked about another question, "The imperial court's decree on maritime trade is being formulated, and Mr. Fan is now on his way to Qiantang, and when he arrives, he will convene the maritime representatives to discuss a method that can be recognized by the court, the people, and the maritime merchants, you can rest assured." ”

"Since Mr. Fan has come forward, we can naturally trust it." Wang Wufeng made no secret of his respect for Fan Li, since Fan Li was summoned to Dawei by Li You, he quickly established a very high prestige in the business world, and he was fair and could take care of the interests of businessmen, Wang Wufeng and others had long wanted to visit.

"As for other things, I also told Zheng Feicai that day, your family wealth can naturally be preserved, and you can also have some warships to protect the safety of the fleet at sea, but you are never allowed to rob the merchant ships of other Great Wei people." As for the fleets of other countries, you can do whatever you like, of course, if there are overseas caravans that can bring the materials urgently needed by the Great Wei or pay enough protection money, then it will be another matter.

The foundation on which he relied was guaranteed, Wang Wufeng's heart was at least half relieved, and then Li You said, "If a few of you or the children of the clan are willing to continue to be officials, the imperial court will also appoint them separately after review, but it is really impossible to stay in Jiangnan Dongdao, and the reason for this must not be said by me, right?" ”

"The villain understands, the villain understands." If the children of the three of their families serve as the chief officials of multiple Jiangnan Dongdao at the same time, then Jiangnan Dongdao is the imperial court or their family?

"Well, what questions do you have with the rest of the conditions?" Li You talked for a long time, and he also wanted to hear what Wang Wufeng and they thought.

"The villain wants to ask Lord Taiwei......" Wang Wufeng asked a few more questions that he and Zheng Feihuang and others were concerned about at the same time, Li You answered them one by one, or agreed, or refused, whether it was promised or refused, they gave convincing reasons, and Wang Wufeng had nothing to say about it.

He also became more and more convinced of Li You's sincerity in recruiting them, if he wanted to coax them, how could he take care of these details? When they put down their knives and guns, there is a way to clean them up.

All the problems have been solved, although they have not obtained all the things they want, but the results have exceeded Wang Wufeng's expectations, so there is only one last question left, "Lord Taiwei, I still have one last request, dare to ask Lord Taiwei to marry the daughter of Mr. Zheng's family." ”
