Chapter 134
"Really?" John was overjoyed, what a big fat deficit. Instead of going back to the West, being a pauper. It would be better to be a rich man in the East, and when Bobby died, John had already decided to do so.
promised to help Kuichi obtain the right to garrison in Java, which was regarded as an explanation to Kuiyi. After all, it's not easy to mess with. If you spend some money to hire a killer and kill him as a traitor, your life will not be enough.
As long as he wants to garrison in Java, he is happy to make money with himself in East Asia, rather than bribing the killer to kill him.
"No more nonsense, you're going to throw you into the sea right now to feed the fish." Zheng Zhilong is now very keen on tying people up and throwing stones into the sea, which is convenient, fast, simple and practical, and it is really the only way to evaporate from the world. That's how the grass on the walls of Macao disappeared.
"Inside the underground vault of the East India Company, there is a dark layer under the vault. The gold and silver were stored there, and there was a designed mechanism at the door. If forcibly turned on, it will trigger a gunpowder explosion. Whoever opens the mechanism will definitely not survive. ”
"How many?"
"There are about 50,000 taels of silver, and more than 1,000 taels of gold."
As soon as these words came out, John found that Li Xiao and Zheng Zhilong's eyes lit up at the same time. John knew that his new job was on the horizon.
"Second brother, you and Zheng Liuye took him to get the money." Li Xiao asked people to call Li Xiao, and Zheng Zhilong asked people to call Zheng Zhiyuan. As soon as Li Xiao gave the order, John obediently took the two of them to dig up the money.
"Ha", "Ha", "Ha", ......! Li Xiao and Zheng Zhilong smiled almost from ear to ear, they didn't expect that they would have 50,000 taels of silver so easily, plus 1,000 taels of gold. The money for the bribe of Chen Sifu was settled, plus the other property of the East India Company. This time, both of them made a big deal.
At the same time, they were able to occupy Macao without hidden dangers.
Occupying the strait, in fact, is to collect money. With the manpower and material resources of the Ming Dynasty, the most important thing is the concept of relocation. The full occupation of the South China Sea is still a matter of no shadow.
"Brother! This time, we've made a fortune. ”
"Hehehe!" Although Li Xiao was happy in his heart, he was still a little dissatisfied. After all, the main purpose of his southward trip this time was for the strategic resource of rubber.
"My lord! There's a red-haired man named Nikolai who wants to see you! Junzi walked in and reported to Li Xiao.
Nikolai was able to have such a victory this time, and Nikolai contributed a lot. Li Xiao met this foreign friend very happily and greeted him cordially at the door!
"Hello, Mr. Nikolai." Seeing Nikolai, Li Xiao warmly shook hands with Nikolai.
"Hello! Lee-sama! "Nikolaeva is dressed in her usual clothes today, not in that birdcage-like cage skirt. Seeing Li Xiao, he politely stretched out his white hand.
In the blazing July sun, Nikolaeva's arms were a little white. Li Xiao felt that this arm was like porcelain, and he even felt a little reflective.
This time there was no embarrassment like the last one, and Li Xiao and Nikolaeva shook hands. The snow-white hands were so fucking white, so white that you could see the blue blood vessels under the skin. The distance was very close, and Li Xiao found that Nikolaeva's arms were as smooth as a mirror. Far less heavy body hair than European women!
"Inside, please!" It was really hot outside, and Li Xiao invited Nikolai and Nikolaeva into the house.
"This time, I would like to thank Mr. Nikolai for his message. We will protect your rights and interests in Macau. In the future, you can do business in Macau, and no one will trouble you. This is Mr. Zheng Zhilong, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can ask him for help. Li Xiao introduced Zheng Zhilong to Nikolai.
After all, Zheng Zhilong is the head snake, and Li Xiao doesn't want to be sorry for Nikolai, a foreign friend.
"Hello, Mr. Zheng." Nikolai's Chinese was not very good, and Nikolaeva automatically acted as a translator on the side.
"You're good!" Zheng Zhilong has no crush on the red-haired ghost, although Nikolai's hair is blonde. But habitually, Zheng Zhilong still calls them red-haired ghosts.
"Thank you to Mr. Li and Mr. Cheng for their care, and I will do business well in Macau in the future. But this time, I want to tell Master Li. Listen to John Tong, you want to get a plant. That kind of thing called rubber? ”
"You have?" Li Xiao's eyes lit up immediately, which was too pleasantly surprised. I just wanted to sleep, so someone brought a pillow.
"I have a few planted on my farm, but there are only a dozen of them. My daughter always wants a dress that doesn't get wet! Nikolai gave Nikolaeva a doting look.
"A dozen plants!" Li Xiao gritted his teeth, how could more than a dozen plants be enough. I want a lot of rubber, and these rubber trees are obviously difficult to meet.
"I know that the East India Company has tried to sell this kind of thing. However, it doesn't seem to be selling very well, and there is a lot of stock in the warehouse. Nikolaeva saw that Li Xiao was a little disappointed and hurriedly reminded Li Xiao.
"Oh! Is there such a thing? Take me there. Li Xiao jumped up immediately, Macau has been very chaotic these days. Many of the East India Company's warehouses were looted, and some of them set fire to cover up their crimes. It would be bad if this precious rubber was set on fire by those bastards who didn't understand anything.
Li Xiao picked up Nikolai and walked out, startling Zheng Zhilong. I've known Li Xiao for so long, and I've never seen Li Xiao in such a hurry.
After thinking about it, he also stood up and followed Li Xiao out. He didn't understand what it was that made Li Xiao pay so much attention. His intuition told him that the things that Li Xiao valued must be good things.
Nikolaeva saw that her father was being pulled by Li Xiao, and reluctantly followed out. The sun was blazing outside, and no one wanted to get out of the shady room as long as it wasn't necessary.
After getting into Nikolai's carriage, Li Xiao almost kicked the coachman's buttocks. The guards gathered in a panic, not understanding why they were going out on a hot day.
Junko held the short pipe and the door of the carriage, and put her two feet on the outside pedals. Look out like a police dog!
There were five children sitting beside the coachman, and the red-haired coachman looked at the children. As soon as he wanted to ask, he felt two cold eyes look at him.
The eyes of the roast chicken are obviously deterrent. The red-haired, big-nosed coachman immediately drove the carriage like a car. The sooner you get there, the sooner you can get rid of this wolf-like look.
In a hurry, they arrived at the East India Company's warehouse on the docks, and a group of people were moving things inside. Macau is now standard anarchy, where a group of pirates are entrenched, what social order can there be. As long as your fist is big, it makes sense that the knife is fast enough.
The local Han residents of Macau are still not harassed. The treatment of those foreigners is not good, and some homes are robbed three times a day. Many hostesses have also been raped! Anyway, no one cares about the scourge, and those houses that have been burned down and people who have died in their families are all targeted by foreigners to vent their anger.
Although Nikolai's house was also robbed, it was only after Li Xiu hung the pirates led by him from a tree to dry them. His family's things flew back as if they had grown wings, and now no one dared to dare to make the Nicholas family idea. Many foreigners took refuge in Nikolai's house.
Tents were erected in the garden to receive these Western war refugees.
Li Xiao saw that these people were carrying the goods of the East India Company, pulled out his revolver and fired a shot into the sky with a "bang".
Everyone was stunned and looked at the young man in the carriage in a daze. I don't know what he's going to do!
"Shout out your home!" Li Xiao pointed his pistol at those guys and shouted.
No one moved, for the simple reason that no one moved. Li Xiao's northern dialect, none of these people can understand it.
Zheng Zhilong drilled out, this is amazing. Everyone's bodies were shorter, and they didn't dare to pant loudly with their waists hunched.
"Fur seals! Did Zhibao ask you to move things? Zheng Zhilong glanced at the guy who was the leader, and it was actually the sea seal under Zheng Zhibao.
"Uncle! It was the leopard master who explained to the villain, these red-haired ghosts pulled back the things, the leopard master ......! ”
"It's all for Lao Tzu to move back, who would dare to move again if there is no Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu tied him up with a stone and threw him into the sea. Zheng Zhilong snorted coldly, and everyone moved as if they were clockwork.
The soldiers of the guard company ran after panting, and Junko followed Li Xiao with a short-barreled firecracker.
snatching the sharp dagger from the roast chicken, Li Xiao began to unpack the goods one after another. The cargo was piled up in a mountain and was in a mess by these pirates, and it didn't take long to find the rubber.
"Oh! Rubber, rubber should be in the B3 hold. "Or Nikolaeva was smart and ran into the office. After looking for a long time, I finally turned over the documents. After looking for a while, I found the place where the rubber was stored inside.
"B1, B2, B3, there it is!" Nikolaeva looked at the sign above the warehouse and quickly found compartment B3.
Luckily, the warehouse was in the innermost part of the dock warehouse, and the pirates had apparently not had time to destroy it. The goods here were stacked fairly neatly, and Li Xiao followed Nikolaeva to a wooden box.
Junko took the crowbar and pried open the wooden box. Li Xiao took out the dagger and picked open the oilcloth inside with a few clicks. I don't know which one is missing the eye to pack, what do you still wrap in oilcloth.
The dagger of roast chicken is indeed sharp enough, and it cuts through several layers of oilcloth at once. When Li Xiao saw the black thing inside, Xindu jumped out of the cavity.
The movement of destruction slowed down, and a small piece was cut at the edge of the place. The hand is constantly kneading hard, and I feel the amazing elasticity. Li Xiao's heart blossomed, and Lao Tzu found it.
