In the port of Taizhou, hundreds of merchant ships and fishing boats are docked on the wharf, they are now like helpless children, tied to the bow by pirates with cables, and thirty pirate ships with pirate flags have blocked all this prosperous port, but there is no gunsmoke on the wharf and in the warehouse area, only the people and officers and soldiers who are fleeing everywhere, and thousands of pirates are filling up the items they see with trolleys, and then sending them back to the ship one after another, turning a blind eye to those civilians and surrendered officers and soldiers, many people have lived for a long time, pirates do not kill people and do not set fires, It's just blindly robbing things, and only grabbing things from the dock warehouse, and everything other than Qiu doesn't commit any offense, and he doesn't even attack the city and village.

"Daddy, what do you say these pirates are all about?"

"That's right, these pirates seem to be better than those officers and soldiers who bullied us, they don't fight or rob, but we all drive them away."

"It's strange, it's the first time I've seen such a benevolent pirate at such an old age."

The people in the village outside the dock are looking at the pirates who are crazy about moving things at the dock, for the pirates, all of them have a bad impression, burning, killing and looting are all evil, now they are like this, but they are a little unaccustomed, more people are watching the drama as if they are watching the excitement, because the things that are robbed are the things of those big masters, those high lords have not less bullied them, robbed their goods, they are very happy and hateful, as the saying goes, it is cool, robbed for most of the day, a person who seems to be a pirate leader with a group of pirates, There were also things full of trolleys that came to the entrance of the village.

"Don't be afraid, our Black Pearl Pirate Group, unlike those pirates before, we are good pirates, our boss knows that your life is not easy, so let's bring you some food, which is considered an apology for harassing you today, come on, put things down."

The pirates behind pushed cartloads of grain, vegetables, fruits, and meat to the entrance of the village, and these villagers, who had been living on the docks, saw that the grain and food were almost piled up at the entrance of the village, and they couldn't believe that this was true, and none of them dared to take anything forward.

"Don't be afraid, these things are trivial, come, children, come to your uncle, uncle will give you candy to eat."

Seeing a face full of scars, a fierce look, holding a piece of candy wrapped in paper, laughing as obscene as it was, immediately scared the child directly into tears, their parents quickly picked him up and coaxed him, this picture is as embarrassing as it is, seeing that he scared the child into tears, the pirate scratched his head embarrassedly, and didn't know what to do, at this time, a whip directly whipped him, and then scolded loudly.

"You fool, you don't know how ugly you are, it's not your sin to be ugly, it's a sin to be scary, get out of the way."

Liu Youyu came here with a few henchmen and pirates of the prawns, and then bowed to the villagers very politely.

"Folks, I'm sorry, it's my subordinates who are ignorant and scared you, I apologize to you for him, you don't have to be afraid, these grains and food are what we gave you, so please rest assured, our Black Pearl Pirate Group only robs those things that are rich and unkind, and they will not start with the common people, you have also seen how those big lords here treat you on weekdays, so we are used to it, so we will come to vent for you, and rest assured in the future, and those big lords are still bullying you, and we will also come to rob their goods, come." , Dad, I know you should be the elder of this village, you lead the people to divide the grain and food, so that they can go home and cook. ”

The old man heard what the leader of the pirates said, and walked out tremblingly with a cane, and the villagers who were worried about him wanted to stop him, but he stretched out his hand to stop him, he slowly walked to Liu Youyu with a cane, and then saluted him, but he did not dare to accept this salute, in the Tang Dynasty, the elders over sixty years old, Li Er saw that he had to salute, although he was a pirate, he still understood this old man, he hurriedly turned sideways and did not dare to accept this salute.

"This leader, thank you, Lao Suo, I am sixty years old this year, and the loess is buried to the neck, so I am not afraid of anything, you are right, we have indeed suffered from the oppression of those big lords in the city, but if we take your things, as soon as you leave, they will definitely retaliate against us, so your things should be taken away, and the little old man and the villagers will understand it."

Liu Youyu also felt that it made sense when he heard it, after all, they were able to succeed in the sneak attack this time, and the biggest hero was the Governor of the Water Division, but I thought about what the old man said, when they finished grabbing things, patted their butts and left, these innocent villagers suffered, and they still understood the truth that they couldn't help their wives and children, so he saluted the old man and said.

"I want to remind my father that we are not careful about this, but I will find a way to secretly transport these grains to you, and it is true that I didn't think about it in front of the public today, so don't shirk it."

Sending it secretly and sending it openly are two different things, as long as it is not known by the scholars in the city, who knows if the food is eaten, so the old man will not shirk it.

"Then think more about the leader, and when you use us in the future, just ask."

Liu Youyu reached an offensive and defensive alliance with this village in this way, and the food and food piled up at the entrance of the village were pulled away by the pirates, and the villagers also went home under the leadership of the old man, but the villagers were reluctant to look at the food and grain, and the scholars who observed on the city wall saw this scene clearly, although they couldn't hear what they said, but after seeing the pirates pull away the food, they couldn't help but sneer and said.

"Hmph, forgive these pariahs and don't dare to be in the same league as these stinky pirates."

"Hurry up and report to the master of the house, if the sailor does not come back, the goods we have stored at the dock will be robbed."

And the Taizhou sailors they were looking forward to coming back to protect them are still chasing a dozen pirate ships in the vast sea, playing a game of cat and mouse.

"Boss, do you think the sailor is stupid? Don't you know if we're turning the tiger away from the mountain and teasing them? ”

The old six kicked the pirate away.

"You know the art of war, you can speak idioms, right? Don't you know how to take them for a walk? Alas, it's been almost a day, and I don't know if the boss is done with them. ”

"Boss, there must be no problem on the leader's side, I guess we have made a fortune this time."

The pirate who was kicked away didn't do anything and ran back to flatter and said, and Ren Dudu of Taizhou Navy Division was directly angry, his sailor chased this pirate for a day, every time he saw that he was going to catch up, he would be cleverly slipped by them, he didn't want to think about it, in this sea area, these pirates are more familiar than him, the sailor Governor, if it weren't for Liu Youyu's order first, the sixth they all wanted to do the sailor's hand, Ren Dudu chased those fleets that thought they were the main force of pirates, his Taizhou dock had been captured by the real pirate main force, The precious goods in his behind-the-scenes warehouse have been emptied by the pirates.

"This surnamed Ren is a straw bale, brainless, and this time he has suffered a heavy loss."

"I'm here too, I still have all the spices of this year in my warehouses, and now they're gone, pirates, the one surnamed Ren has a thousand cuts."

"Shut up, I hope those pirates don't attack the city now, and then our lives will not be guaranteed."

"Don't talk about it, I think those pirates are just robbing things, they won't attack the city, Taizhou City is tall and strong, as far as their weapons and equipment are concerned, they don't even have siege weapons, how can they break through this fortified city, now the main thing is to figure out what is going on with this group of pirates, haven't you found that this group of pirates is different from those pirates before?"

The head of the Langya Xiao family hit the nail on the head and said the problem, after he said this, the others nodded in agreement, originally they were not in Taizhou, but the Black Pearl Pirate Group they made a lot of trouble, so they gathered in Taizhou, and discussed how to deal with Liu Youyu and them before, but they didn't expect to come a few days ago, they encountered this incident, and now they are still trapped in the city, who to talk to about this grievance, these Jiangnan Shi people are still very brainy, they quickly analyzed Liu Youyu's true purpose, That is against their Jiangnan Shi clan, so why target them Jiangnan Shi clan? The answer behind that is obvious, that is, their sworn enemy, Li Yong, only he would hate them like this.

"So, these pirates were created by Li Yong?"

"Needless to say, if it weren't for him, who would have such a strange pirate, who would have committed no offense against those untouchables, but only plundered our merchant ships and warehouses."

"No, I really can't swallow this breath, I want people to sue him in the court, I don't believe that Li Shimin can still protect him, the son-in-law of an armed pirate."

"You just rest, you still sue others, what do you use to sue others? Do you have proof? How do you prove that those pirates belong to Li Yong? Don't be hit by him when the time comes. ”

"I ......"

"Master Wang, what the Master of the Xie Family said is right, although we all know that those pirates are Li Yong's, but we have no evidence, but he attacked us on the grounds of false accusations, and we will be passive when the time comes."

"It's not that either, what do we do now? Can't you let those pirates continue, can you? Can we do sea trade yet? ”

At this time, a dull and somewhat hoarse voice sounded.

"Okay, don't fight, now we can only negotiate, send representatives to talk to those pirates, as before, pay the sea fee, I know what you think in your heart, I don't want to give this money to those pirates in vain, it should be said that Li Yong, but how big the benefits of sea trade are for us, you know in your hearts, so sea trade can't be broken, so we have to eat this loss if we don't eat it, even if he Li Yong takes back a city, but we still have a long time to duel, who will die is not yet known, of course, if any of you don't want to, I don't blame it, it's a matter of personal wishes. ”

The head of the Lanling Xiao clan is worthy of being the leader of the Jiangnan Shi clan, his words directly made those Shi clan heads shut up, they really have no better way now, they can only bow their heads proudly, temporarily bow their heads, the so-called green water flows, the game between them and Li Yong has not yet reached the climax. The news that Taizhou Port was ransacked by pirates swept the entire Datang in an instant, what is Taizhou Port? From ancient times to the present, it is a strategic port, and every dynasty and every generation has spent a lot of money and manpower and material resources to build, such a big port was looted by a group of pirates who did not look amazing, Li Er was angry, the court was angry, and the people of the Tang Dynasty were angry, only Li Yong's side seemed to be fine, as if it was expected.

"Do you think Liu Youyu is too bold?"

Gao Dam leisurely drank tea, during this time he was finally freed from the sea of books, because Huating County was back on track, everything was going according to plan, the second batch of new warships were also launched, and they were officially installed in the navy, and now Liu Renliang's navy is no longer only the commander of three warships and four coastal patrol fighting ships, now he has two battle-class main ships, eight escort-class warships, and the coast patrol ships are as high as one hundred, such a fleet is not far from even the sailors of the Tang Dynasty, Of course, it is compared to firepower, and the number of naval personnel has also been expanded to 20,000, which also makes Li Yong's finances tight, but fortunately, Liu Youyu plundered several times and gave him some blood, otherwise his current financial deficit would be in deficit.

"It's okay, the more he makes trouble, the more scared those people become, and then they will have to bow to us, are they ready to give Liu Youyu their money?"

Li Yong drank tea and ate snacks with Gundam like a strategizing old handsome.

"It's all ready, and we have prepared two plans for them, one is the deposit note of our Xishan Bank, and the other is cash, they can choose."

"Well, that's it, the bank's affairs still have to be improved as soon as possible, and strive to get up early, Xishan has all changed the bank's new paper money and deposits, in addition to these original businesses, we also have to open a lending business, our Huating County will not take long, is to replace Taizhou, become the Tang Dynasty's maritime trade concentration, when the time comes, the coin system must be perfected, I have asked Liwan to come, she has experience in this area, and she will cooperate with you to improve."

After hearing this, Gao Gao got up and saluted Li Yong and left his villa, Li Yong was left alone in the huge villa, he felt bitter, because his three daughters-in-law were keen on education every day, and completely forgot about his husband, Li Yong couldn't wait to give himself a few mouths.

"Let you pretend, let you pretend, who said that you can't be a beast, you have to wait three years, alas."

Li Yong muttered to himself and drank the tea, no longer thinking about it, just suffer the sins he made. After Liu Youyu took his pirate fleet to sack Taizhou, he left freely, in addition to taking all the goods in the dock warehouse, he also took away a large number of ships, which can be regarded as a full load, although they can't use those ships, but they can sell them second-hand, they are all money, as for the stolen goods, he has no left all the handover, this task is still led by the second child, when the people in the joint saw the forty-five pirate ships, they were also stunned, he knew that Liu Youyu ransacked Taizhou Port, but he didn't expect to rob so much, The second child and the street man greeted each other and began to hand over.

"This is the adult to you, one is the hometown of the deposit, one is the cash, the meaning of the deposit is that you want to use the money in the future, just take this to any of the adults to open after the exchange of money, of course, the bank only recognizes the deposit note does not recognize the person, each deposit ticket has a unique password, because you are not there, so the adult let you set the original password, all in the envelope, if you don't want these deposits, you can take the cash, as you choose."

The docking person took out an envelope, which contained the deposit ticket and password of Xishan Bank, and the second child hesitated after hearing it, they were all pirates with their heads pinned to their trouser belts, maybe they couldn't come back when they went out that day, and it was their usual practice to take cash, but now it was different, because their black pearl pirate group was already the king of this sea area, with Li Yong's protection, as long as Li Yong's navy did not move, they would be safe and sound, plus this deposit ticket was indeed safe, not afraid of silver being stolen or something, However, he can't call the shots in this matter, he still needs to go back and discuss it with Liu Youyu.

"Messenger, I can't do this in the future, if you don't bother to wait for a while, I'll go back and discuss with our boss now, three days at most, see if it's okay."

The connector nodded and handed the envelope in his hand to the second child, the second child took the envelope and found that it was made of cowhide, such an envelope can not only be moisture-proof and waterproof, but also better protect the things inside, he couldn't help but admire this damn intimate service, the second child did not dare to stay, leaving the pirate ship that also unloaded the goods, he took a ship that had unloaded the goods and rushed back to Chiweiyu, after returning to Chiweiyu, he told Liu Youyu the situation without missing a word, Liu Youyu took the envelope made of cowhide and looked at it, and then said.

"Gather everyone, I'll tell them about it."

The bell rang for the "bell bell ......" convocation, and after all the leaders who were resting in the camp heard it, they all walked towards Liu Youyu's wooden house.

"Boss, you're saying that the silver we share can be used to choose this deposit ticket, and you can also choose cash, right?"

"Yes, after you go back to this matter, talk to your subordinates, no matter what you choose, it doesn't matter, what the adults said has been fulfilled, so this matter is very simple, and you don't need to put too much pressure."

All the captains thought about it, indeed as Liu Youyu said, this thing is a very normal thing, there is no need to be entangled, how to choose now, because both options have their own advantages, soon they left Liu Youyu's wooden house, announced this to their subordinates, of course, some people choose to deposit tickets, some people are now cashing, not only register and report to Liu Youyu, the rest of those who have not returned from the delivery, they will work directly on the spot, and the second child will return to the handover place with the news and registration book of Chiweiyu, and then register the pirates who did not return, and after everything is done, the contact person also takes the goods and the registration book and leaves.

"In five days, we will send the things according to your registration book, and you can come and pick them up on time when the time comes."

"Yes, messenger."

After the handover was completed, the ships of both sides left in both directions. Five days later, the second child came here on time with the fleet, and then happily took away their share, when they returned to Chiweiyu, when all the pirates saw boxes of white silver, they were happy like the New Year, and then Liu Youyu asked the pirates in charge of the treasury to start distributing according to the roster, and the pirates who joined later naturally took less, who let you join late, the Black Pearl Pirate Group is distributed according to the principle of more work and more reward, but no matter what boss is not the leader, you grab more, then you take more, It turned out that they were still ordinary merchant ship crews or captains, and they were less than ten taels of silver all year round, and the captain was a little more, but now, they got twenty taels of silver, which was more money than they risked their lives for two years, which made them more determined to be pirates, to be a conscientious pirate, and the cash was basically the new pirates, and the old pirates who came out of Huating County all took the deposit tickets, because they still wanted to return to the heaven and earth in Huating County, after Liu Youyu and the other old pirates returned to their wooden houses, wash your hands, almost incense bath is not done, and then carefully open the envelope made of cowhide, when they see a rectangular book into their eyes, the cover of the book is black, and the paper is very printed, what is printed with the four words of bronzing Xishan Bank, open the book and see, Liu Youyu three words, then a line of date, and then the second page is greeted by a line of numbers, which is written in Arabic numerals, and there are Chinese numerals behind these Arabic numerals, so that you can not look at Arabic numerals. Then there was a square red seal behind the number, very small, with a person's name on it, and finally every page was printed with a steel stamp with the big characters of Xishan Bank, Liu Youyu excitedly capitalized the numbers of the Chinese characters against the Arabic numerals he didn't know.

"Ten hundred thousand, I'm, three thousand two hundred and sixty taels, I'm rich, adult, small one must work hard to serve you."

Liu Youyu took the deposit ticket and knelt down and kowtowed to the north.
