Chapter 968: The Great Pit
He Lingchuan frowned: "The Bailong tribe that was driven out of Yaguo, are there only six hundred people left?" ”
The Ya Kingdom had been at odds with the Mu State before and was closer to Bega, so the Mu State supported several pro-own forces in the area, which was also a means of counterbalance. But after the Ya Kingdom, the forces of the pro-Mu State will be unlucky, such as the Bailong people.
"It is said that in order to escape the pursuit of Yaguo, the tribe divided into several groups and fled. One of them came to our island, and the leader was Wan Qisong, the brother of the deceased patriarch. I see him as brave and combative, and short-tempered. He didn't blink an eye when he took the courage test, and he was also a ruthless man with his head pinned to the waistband of his trousers. For the new members, Qiu Hu has obviously done background homework, "After they went to the island, they were quite well-behaved, they didn't get close to other people, they didn't cause trouble, and they went to pick palms and do odd jobs while waiting for the formation." ”
Renee also said: "The other peasant workers are afraid of them and dare not approach. ”
Guan Ke's voice was yin: "Abide by the rules, I don't want to attract attention." ”
"Even if you are fleeing, you will inevitably take your relatives with you." He Lingchuan groaned, "It's just that they don't dare to bring their families to the island, and they have ill intentions." ”
Are you afraid that you won't be able to let go of your hands and feet when doing things?
Wang Fubao said angrily: "Okay, they have taken a fancy to this feng shui treasure!" ”
"Wan Qisong's team, including his family, is at least more than 1,000 people. Since he was the chief, he had to be responsible for finding food and drink for more than a thousand mouths, and he had to find a place to live. How easy is it for an exiled army? "How heavy this burden is, He Lingchuan knows best now.
Qiu Hu also nodded: "Yaguo let go, no one is allowed to accept the Bailong tribe, otherwise the army will be overwhelmed." ”
Yaguo is so horizontal, because the surrounding area is full of small countries, and no one can beat it.
"So there is no place for them around here, and the desert islands off the coast have owners, unless they go to the sea to be pirates - we have many islands in the east and west, and there are really a lot of pirates."
After all, only the Yangshan Islands are the most suitable for these Bailong people. There are products, there is arable land, it is close to the land, and the natural conditions are too good.
And the Yangshan Islands are too big and surrounded by oceans, even if Yaguo knew that they were settled here, they would not be able to send a large army.
The islands are natural barriers, and it is not unreasonable for displaced people to avoid disasters and like to run to the sea.
The basic situation was clear, and Qiu Hu and the others were in a cold sweat on their backs.
Have they been so busy lately that they can't even see the calamity that is close in front of them, and they want to remind Renee of a girl's house!
He Lingchuan said to Min Tianxi: "Send your men to test them, and keep an eye on their leaders; Also, find out where their relatives are hiding. There are more than 600 Bailong people, it is impossible that no one will say anything! ”
Min Tianxi's strength is not as good as Qiu Hu's, but this person has affinity, likes to talk to people and do work, and treats people more tactfully. Originally, the cohesion of the two pirates surpassed that of the other two peers, and it was basically his credit.
He Lingchuan believes that he can also play to his strengths here.
Min Tianxi immediately took over the job.
"We are expanding our recruitment on a large scale, and it is inevitable that we will be mixed in with many foreign spies, so you should be more cautious in your words and deeds, and don't leak secrets." He Lingchuan told all his subordinates, "Choose the opportunity to crack down on it in the future, so as to set an example!" ”
Everyone should say yes in unison.
He Lingchuan turned his head again and asked Ding Zuodong: "When can the inner armor of the escort team be delivered?" ”
"The day before yesterday, I ordered 1,500 sets, and it will take a month and a half at the earliest."
"It's too slow, add money to urge." It's about to be used when you're training.
"Yes."
He Lingchuan took out a cloth bag from the storage ring and opened it, and there were dozens of silver tickets inside.
The face value of the top few tickets is so big that Renee is a little suffocated at first glance. She had never seen so much money in her life.
Ding Zuodong did not hide his surprise.
He Lingchuan took Min Tianxi and Dong Rui on a trip before, but he didn't explain where he went, but as soon as he came back, it was such a pomp!
"These silver bills have a total face value of 220,000 taels." He Lingchuan's voice was as flat as water, and then he took out 150,000 taels and handed it to Ding Zuodong, "These will be credited to the account first, and you will find me when you don't have enough." ”
Ding Zuodong settled down, put away the silver ticket and said happily: "The owner is good, this money is enough for a long time!" ”
220,000 taels, the owner will make more than 200,000 taels in a few days!
Didn't the Lu family want to drag them down, didn't they want to wait for them to go bankrupt and take over the Yangshan Islands?
Then wait and go, and you won't be able to collect it until the earth is barren!
These 220,000 yuan is timely rain, and the hearts of Ding Zuodong and everyone settled down at once.
He Lingchuan scolded with a smile: "Not only do you have to spend money, you have to make money for me, otherwise the amount of money will not be enough." ”
"Yes, yes!" Ding Zuodong laughed so much that the crow's feet came out, "You are not here for a few days, we have negotiated several large orders, and we can sell more than 40,000 barrels of oil in total." Prepare to sail for good luck on the day of the official opening of the shop! ”
"Good." 40,000 barrels of oil is not a big amount, but it is an important start.
Seeing that everyone else had finished speaking, Guan Kecai stepped forward with a light cough: "Lord, I also have news here." ”
"Say."
"Do you remember the twenty-seven cargo ships that the Asan Chamber of Commerce sold? Something went wrong. ”
He Lingchuan was a little interested: "What?" ”
A few days ago, the Asan Chamber of Commerce, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, sold 27 cargo ships at a low price. He Lingchuan thought about it for a long time, and Guan Ke also tried his best to dissuade him, so he didn't buy it.
"The three chambers of commerce that paid for it sent people to collect the boats, but they couldn't collect them and were beaten." Guan Ke coughed, "I learned later that the Asan Chamber of Commerce mortgaged all these ships to the Platinum Island in the east two years ago, and he sold the boats this time to eat two fish." It's just that this thing is done secretly, and no one in the local area knows about it. ”
Renee asked curiously, "Then whose are these ships going to belong to?" ”
"Those three are estimated to find the Blade Harbor City Bureau for arbitration. However, the mortgage of the Asan Chamber of Commerce occurred on Platinum Island, and according to the principle of locality, Platinum Island may not pay attention to the results of the city's handling of the company; Besides, the city division does not have to take on this case, so in the end, it can only be negotiated between these three chambers of commerce and Platinum Island. ”
"It's a big hole." Guan Ke said to He Lingchuan, "If we buy these cargo ships, we will be the ones who have a relationship with Platinum Island now." ”
Not only did it cost more than 20,000 taels of silver, but it also took a lot of energy.
The last thing He Lingchuan needs now is accidents and troubles.
"Also, I found the assistant who reported to Mr. Ding." Guan Ke said again, "That guy has never been the most well-informed person in Blade Harbor, but this time he knew earlier than everyone that the Asan Chamber of Commerce was going to sell ships. Things were a little strange, so I asked him, only to find out that the news was also revealed to him by someone else at that time, so he quickly reported it to Manager Ding. Now he can't find the source. ”
