The spring is melting, although it is still a little cool, but the warm sun is shining, the mood is very comfortable, Xiao Lang'er and his eight ladies sit on the deck, drinking tea, chatting, the princess who has never been to the sea, Gu Qingqing and Liu Feifei are also very excited, looking at the blue sea, their faces are a little ruddy, and they look even fairer.

Although the princess is the youngest, she has a respected status, and the other ladies also respect her, plus she is also very good at being a person, and gives some of her own clothes to other ladies with marriage, these clothes are very precious, you can't buy them, they are all tributes, the workmanship is fine, the embroidery is gorgeous, and there is a kind of dignity and demeanor on the eight ladies.

"Princess, it's windy outside, you go to the captain's cabin. Xiao Lang'er said with concern, "Xianggong, you think of me as squeamish, although I am from the royal family, but I have also practiced a little kung fu, and my physical foundation is still good." The princess pinched a grape and fed it to Dabao, and pinched his pink little face dotingly, Dabao likes to stick to the princess, and there are a lot of good things in the princess. Erbao was a little scared, and just hugged Qiao Ye's legs.

Chen Jiaojiao is mainly respected here, after all, she has a kind of dignity that is not angry but powerful, her subordinates are in charge of tens of thousands of pirates, followed by more than 30 female relatives wearing red makeup, all of them are also heroes among women, Xiao Lang'er means, Chen Jiaojiao will be in charge of the backyard in the future, after all, she has a kind of deterrent.

Seeing Jiumei sitting beside her, she already has four sons, Xiao Langer feels happy, lively, and down-to-earth, and her future struggle is for her family to let them live a happy life. Jiumei noticed his gaze, and also smiled sweetly, feeling that as long as she followed Xiao Lang'er, she could bear the greatest suffering.

The closer they got to the south, the hotter it became, and these people from the north hurriedly changed out of their winter clothes and put on thin spring clothes, and the curves of their bodies were even more revealed.

In the captain's room, Xiao Lang'er was discussing some issues with Shi Lang, mainly about the integration of the Zheng Group, Zheng Zhilong is not a simple businessman, and he is also the biggest pirate in the East China Sea, at first he was a subordinate of the East China Sea Shenjun, and later controlled the East China Sea Shenjun, using him as a puppet to order all the pirates in the entire East China Sea, the power is extraordinary, and it is estimated that it will not be an easy thing to co-opt. Zheng Zhilong still has a lot of background, it is said that he has a good relationship with the Wa State, and the materials he grabbed are sold to some daimyo at a low price, and he also provides firearms, so he is very important to the Wa State, and this person is also very good at coming to things, winning over the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and the water master is also eyebrow-raising.

Xiao Lang'er only recently learned the news from Qiu Long, this person is far more than it seems, not only has the relationship between all parties, has deep pockets, but also has some capable cadres under him, there are nine people with outstanding martial arts, and they are the nine masters under him, led by Li Fei, who met Xiao Lang'er when he was young, at that time, he was the first in the Eagle Fighting Arena in the port of Luzon, and his talent was extremely high, I don't know what kind of situation it has reached now?

"Master Hou, don't worry too much, we can salute first and then soldier, after all, I have a little friendship with him, do his job first, and if you don't accept it, you will beat him, and you will always subdue him. Shi Lang suggested. Xiao Lang'er nodded, the situation in this sea area is still very complicated, there are several forces in control, Xiao Lang'er's power is only a rising star, but with the Palembang naval army, it can still be suppressed, but it is better not in the form of a battle, wounding 10,000 enemies and self-destructing 3,000.

After several days of sailing, the Sea Dragon finally arrived at the port of Fuzhou, Shi Lang took O'Lilisa off the ship and went to take up the post of Admiral of the Navy, which had nearly fifty ships to defend the surrounding ports and coastal areas, and it was enough to surround Fuzhou, Quanzhou and other cities.

Xiao Lang'er's fleet docked here for a day, and also went to participate in Shi Lang's inauguration celebration, which was regarded as supporting him and sending him some gifts, this celebration was held in the sailor's yamen, after Shi Lang arrived, settled everything, and accompanied Xiao Lang'er to the very famous big squid tavern here, and now it is very distinctive, and the business is booming.

Ning Youcai still has a bit of business acumen, bought a piece of land near the port, and built one of the most luxurious taverns here, some businessmen who negotiate business like to go to the big squid tavern, which is often full, and the service staff must be very beautiful young women, and there are some singers in the private room to play and sing.

Seeing that his master was coming, Ning Youcai used all his resources to entertain them, and brought Xiao Lang'er and them to the most luxurious and atmospheric private room.

Xiao Lang'er looked at him, just nodded slightly, not wanting to show special happiness, this Ning Youcai was able to make the tavern like this in a short period of time, he still has some ability, it seems that when he can open branches in various seaports, Xiao Lang'er has a plan to make Westerners proud of eating Daming's delicacies and let them learn to use chopsticks.

"Come, everyone toast a glass of wine to Admiral Shi and celebrate his promotion!" Xiao Lang'er smiled and raised his wine glass, facing Shi Lang, and the others also had wine glasses. Shi Lang saw that everyone was so friendly, and drank Jiu in one gulp. "This is all Hou Ye's injury and promotion, without Hou Ye, how can I Shi Lang today, please, I salute everyone in return. ”

"We'd like to have a drink with Mrs. Shi, too!" Windsor said with a grin, holding up her glass to Orissa. Under everyone's gaze, Olisa's face was flushed with excitement, a little shy, and she drank the wine too, and her face became even redder.

"Let's try the cooking skills of Shopkeeper Ning, it's very popular here!" Xiao Lang'er picked up a few pieces of seafood for everyone, "Let's try it!"

"The taste is really good, this color, fragrance and shape are all available. The princess smiled, picked up a flower nail and tasted it, "This knife skill is really good, it is neat, and this Buddha jumps over the wall, which is comparable to the craftsmanship of the palace chef." "The princess has won the award, and I still have to study hard, especially from the imperial chef. Ning Youcai said humbly.

"Very well, it seems that our taverns can be opened abroad, first in some of the surrounding ports, and then in Europe, and you would rather be the chief treasurer when you have money. "Xiao Lang'er eats happily.

"Hou Ye is Hou Ye, thinking so far and thinking so much, we can't imagine it, it's really worth learning from. Qian Wanshi said happily.

"And that's just one aspect, I'm going to build some estates on our island, hire some planters, and vigorously develop the plantation industry, so that our islanders can fill their stomachs. I am going to put them in the hands of Windsor, who has the interests and experience in them, and I am going to open merchant and captain's schools, to train trade talents, to ship our products to all parts of the country, and to foster the weaving industry, the shipbuilding industry, and the firearms industry. Xiao Lang'er talked eloquently, everyone was immersed in the blueprint described by Xiao Lang'er, his eight ladies looked at him, their eyes were full of admiration, they didn't expect his head to contain so many strange ideas.

"This is still a preliminary idea, after arriving at Butterfly Island, I will come up with a detailed plan, specific to who is responsible, I will select some officials, especially talented officials, I will give rich returns, and even give year-end dividends, my goal is to grow our maritime business, set up an Indian company like the West, and create rich profits for everyone. Xiao Lang'er glanced at everyone and said with a smile.

"This is where Hou Ye is clever, big planning, big money, many things want to be in front of us, we have to learn more from Hou Ye, so as not to fall too far behind. Shi Lang was also a little excited.

"It's nothing, when I run this place well, my next target is the Americas, it is said that there is a gold country there, even the houses are made of gold, even the toilets, I want to go there to get some gold and come back, and gild the owner's mansion on my Butterfly Island with a layer of gold, from a distance, it is splendid. We will also occupy a few plots of land in the Americas as our colonies, grow sugar cane and tobacco, and then we can also build rum and cigar farms. Xiao Lang'er thought further, and the people present all showed a confused look, even the well-informed Windsor was also stunned, and her blue eyes stared at him in a daze.

"I have an ideal, which is to let our people in the Ming Dynasty have enough to eat, so that they can live in peace and peace, without war. Xiao Lang'er drank another glass of wine. Everyone looked at him in a completely different way, and was conquered by his vision and heart.

After the banquet, Xiao Lang'er discussed with Shi Lang again, he wanted to buy five lucky boats, let the Fuzhou sailors prepare them, and then buy them elsewhere, and transport them to Butterfly Island when they are ready.
