Despite his worries, Li Xiao still found opium in Li Hu's medicine. It seems that Western doctors and doctors in the Ming Dynasty have recognized the medicinal value of this thing.

"I stopped the drug immediately, and it will be addictive after taking it for a long time." Li Xiao said to Tang Ruowang with a gloomy face.

"Based on his current injury, he will have to take it for another two days. Otherwise, it will hurt very much after the medicine is over. Tang Ruowang kindly reminded Li Xiao.

"It's better to hurt a little bit than to quit this thing in the future." Li Xiao categorically rejected John Tang's kindness.

Tang Ruowang shrugged his shoulders helplessly, according to what he knew about Li Xiao in the past few days. As long as Li Xiao believes something, there are not many ways to convince him. John Tong is not prepared to make a useless attempt!

"Big brother!" Li Hu's injuries have improved a lot, and this kid is really fateful. A bullet with an undercharge hit the ribs.

If it hits the stomach crookedly, Li Xiao can't imagine what will happen to Li Hu now after the bullet is inflamed in the stomach. There is no place for even anesthetic, you dare to do disembowelment?

"Are you okay kid?" Li Xiao rubbed Li Hu's hair.

This younger brother has a lot of problems, lustful, stubborn, and ....... But I definitely don't have to say anything to myself, there are few people in this world who are willing to use their bodies to block bullets for others. The scene when Li Hu stepped forward was definitely a brother.

"It's okay!"

"For you, take good care of your body." Li Xiu, who was standing behind Li Xiao, reached out and handed over a box.

"What the hell!" Li Hu opened it curiously and found that it was a whole box of American ginseng.

"I got it from the red-haired man, and let people stew and eat it with the old hen, which is good for your injury." Li Xiu didn't have a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of worry.

"Third brother, your second brother is still thinking about you. Don't be petty. Li Xiao saw that Li Hu was still pouting, and pinched Li Hu's shoulder.

"Thank you, second brother!"

"My lord! Zheng Da came to see the tiger master! Junzi walked in and bowed down to report to Li Xiaoyu.

"Please!"

"Huh! Your kid has a strong body, so be a little careful. Zheng Zhilong walked in and saw Li Hu's ruddy face. Let Zheng Zhiyuan put down the gift!

"Master Zheng, you're polite."

"Bird's nest and shark fin are all specialties of the South China Sea. It's very tonic for the body, and the source makes people fish out a grouper. Let someone steam it for you at night! Belch......! ”

"Something?"

"It's really something!"

When Li Xiao saw Zheng Zhilong's face change, he knew that it was not a good thing.

"This time the movement was too loud, and Cai Shanji, the governor of Guangzhou, sent someone to ask us what was going on. He also said that we were good at using swords and soldiers to destroy the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and overseas countries. If we don't give him an explanation, we will be impeached. ”

"Impeachment?" Li Xiao is the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan and is a senior military attache of the Ming Dynasty. You Zheng Zhilong is a big pirate leader, impeach you dry hair.

"In the first two years, in order to be convenient, I took the path of Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian, and became a guerrilla official in Xiamen. In fact, there is no military pay, not even his mother's salary. It's just an empty shell shelf, bluffing. Zheng Zhilong rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed.

Li Xiao was a general soldier before he was 20 years old, and he was only a guerrilla at his age.

Lose face! It's a fucking shame.

"This fucking son of a bitch's governor, isn't it an idle egg." Li Hu roared, and the wound was touched and his face twitched.

John said that every year the East India Company would send money to the officials of Canton Prefecture. Now that the person who sent the money has been beaten away by us, who will this money go to in the future? The red-haired ghost will definitely not give it, so he expects it to be on our heads. Zheng Zhiyuan said hatefully.

"Thousands of miles for officials are only for money, and now that we have moved other people's financiers, of course people want to settle accounts with us. Brother Li, you have connections in the court. This impeachment ......! "In the final analysis, Zheng Zhilong still cares a lot about the official position of the Xiamen guerrilla.

With this official position, when he runs on the water, he is the Daming Water Master. Blatantly engaged in smuggling, and no one dared to care.

"Cai Jishan!" Li Xiao chewed on the name and had never heard of it. Since I haven't heard of it, it's easy to do, this product must not be a historical celebrity. Even if there are some Taoism, it must be limited in practice.

"Now I am asking the two of us to go to the Guangzhou Mansion by name for Lord Cai, and explain the matter clearly. What shall we do? When Zheng Zhilong spoke, he looked directly at Li Xiao's face.

Looking at Zheng Zhihu's expression, he knows his thoughts, Cai Jishan is definitely not easy to deal with. At least he is a small guerrilla in Xiamen, and Cai Jishan will not take it seriously.

It's different for yourself, there is a relationship in the capital. And it's a very good relationship, no, I will definitely not do it at the age of eighteen to the position of chief soldier of Shanhaiguan. There are too many generals in the imperial court, and most of them will not be able to get the official position of chief military officer in their lifetime.

Cai Jishan dared to kill Zheng Zhilong, but he definitely didn't have the courage to kill Li Xiao. Although everyone is an official for money, it is ...... to ruin their political future for a little money. As long as Cai Jishan is not a madman, he will not do it.

"Macau's affairs still have your support, I will go to Guangzhou to meet this Cai Jishan. When the matter in Guangzhou is over, I will go back to Liaodong. There is still a big mess of things in Shanhaiguan, and it has been too long to leave. ”

"If I don't go with you, I'll have a foil." Zheng Zhilong didn't have any confidence in saying this, and even Li Hu could see that this Zheng boss was bluffing.

"Don't worry, as long as Cai Jishan is not crazy, he won't dare to touch me." Li Xiao is very confident in this. Lao Tzu is now the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and he is also a senior military attache of the imperial court. He, a governor, would not dare to stretch out his claws to himself if he had no will, and to borrow eight of his dares.

"Since that's the case, then I'll let Zhiyuan answer at the mouth of the Pearl River. If Cai Jishan has a crooked mind, we are not easy to bully. Zheng Zhilong tried to show a disgusting appearance of righteousness.

Li Xiao knew that even if something really happened to him. It is estimated that this Zheng Da master will not rebel against Guangzhou City for his own sake. After all, the Zheng family still has many businesses in Fujian. The Zheng family, who is adrift at sea, is actually still in Fujian.

Thinking of Fujian, Li Xiao immediately thought of Yizhou opposite.

"Are you familiar with this place in Yizhou?"

"Of course it's cooked! In the early years, he also went to Tunken with his father-in-law and Yan Dangjia, but the place was wild. Except for a few natives who could stand it, no one wanted to go there.

When there is a famine in Fujian, it can also pull people to reclaim the famine. But there are a lot of people who go back after a year or two. There wasn't even a city in there, there was nothing to do, and no one wanted to go.

That's right! The red-haired ghost built a castle there, called the Red Castle. The main purpose is to provide a port of anchorage for smuggling ships smuggling into the coastal areas of Fujian, where large ships can berth. Then by a small boat, the things from the Fujian wharf are sent there to be loaded.

After loading the ship, it will be shipped to India. ”

"That's ......!" A word immediately popped up in Li Xiao's mind, the transit center.

In these days, Westerners actually didn't have much to export to the Ming Dynasty, usually some spices and primary industrial products and precious stones.

The Ming Dynasty exported a lot of things overseas, porcelain, tea, silk, and all kinds of handicrafts. These things are trafficked to Europe and are all sought-after goods.

I don't know if Emperor Daming Lao'er's brain was kicked by a donkey, holding on to the ancestors' ban on the sea. No matter how huge the trade surplus is, how profitable it is. However, they refused to lift the ban on the sea, allowing merchant ships at sea to trade freely. had to smuggle secretly, and a cargo transit center was built in Yizhou.

"No one brought it up and opened the mouth of the sea ban?" Li Xiao felt that the court was not full of stupid people, since the Ming court was so short of money, why didn't it open the sea ban. It is important to know that customs revenue has always been an important source of revenue for state institutions.

"Open the sea ban? Oh my God, who would dare to mention it! Look at the officials who dare to mention the lifting of the sea ban since our Ming Dynasty banned the sea, has there been a good end? Zheng Zhilong looked at Li Xiao with eyes, as if he was looking at an idiot.

"Why?"

"Why? For the money! Who do you think the ships running on the sea belong to, and they all belong to those old men. How many of the chaebols in Fujian and Zhejiang do you know who made their fortunes by smuggling? Only by digging food in the soil can you dig out a few dollars.

Besides, no one can plant the land. Where there is convenience for smuggling, a tenant can plant a few acres of land a year. More than a dozen people run on the sea in a boat, and the output is more than 100 times that of a tenant.

There is such a big benefit, you let the sea ban stop. Don't let people smuggle? It's no wonder that those old chaebols don't eat you alive, and cutting off people's wealth is like killing your parents. ”

Zheng Zhilong's words made Li Xiao gasp, it turned out that this was such a deep pool of water. It is no wonder that the imperial court knew that maritime trade made money, but those pavilion elders, as well as those ministers of the two ranks, did not speak.

It turned out that they were all making money here, and the Ming court had no money to do Lao Tzu's. In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor surnamed Zhu was born, and we were just a working boy. Put the silver in your pocket, then fucking is Lao Tzu's job.

I originally wanted to go to the book to lift the sea ban, but I was suppressed in an instant. This force was so powerful, so strong that the emperor had to give in. As a mere general soldier, can he work against those chaebols and high-ranking officials?

It's impossible to do it, and it's very likely to be eaten alive by life.

"Since the people of Fujian are unwilling to go to the reclamation, can we hire two or three hundred people? You have to be strong! Li Xiao's eyes rolled, and he immediately had a plan.

"That's fine. It would be good for a hired worker to give ten taels of silver a year, but Fujian has many mountains and thin land. A home that can dig out five taels of silver in the ground in a year can be counted in a slap.

If you give ten taels or eight taels, I believe there are many people who are willing to pay this hardship. Zheng Zhilong has organized people to go to Fujian several times to persuade people to come to Yizhou for reclamation. I have a good idea of this business.

"Okay, then you can help me gather some people. and he hired three hundred, according to what thou said, ten taels of silver for one man. ”

"What are you going to do in Yizhou?" Zheng Zhilong was very puzzled and didn't understand what Li Xiao was going to do in Yizhou. It's your own land, and you can't afford to deal with it carelessly.

"Plant trees!" Li Xiao smiled mysteriously.

"Planting trees?" Looking at Li Xiao's smiling face, Zheng Zhilong wondered if the brain inside was broken.
