The Black Pearl Pirate Group has paid dividends, all of them are like chicken blood, and now they are strong and strong, blocking the entire sea route to Taizhou Port, and constantly expanding to the Ryukyu Islands, and those Jiangnan Shi who want to negotiate with Liu Youyu and them are constantly actively looking for them, but Liu Youyu They don't dock at all, which makes them unable to find them for a while, this feeling makes the big guys of the Jiangnan Shi clan go crazy, in fact, it's not that they can't find Liu Youyu and them, but Liu Youyu They don't look down on those little favors, It's enough to grab the dividends they get.

"Where's the boss?"

"Let's play with the eggs."

Liu Youyu looked at the income table on the wall, from a high pillar to the open, and then shrank down little by little, now it is less than half of the highest income, that's right, this is the kind of income analysis table of later generations, this is what Liu Youyu asked Li Yong, he also learned to use this kind of table to make records, I have to say that the famous black pearl pirate group leader is a cultural person, and his income is shrinking these days, which makes Liu Youyu feel very bad, because some time ago he bought a big house of more than 200 square meters in Huating County, There are only a few hundred taels left in the deposit of the deposit ticket, and his hair has fallen out a lot.

"Boss, we can't go down now, we have to open up new business, those caravans have almost been robbed by us, and there will be nothing to rob if we go down."

The third said these words, not like a pirate at all, more like a businessman, they are pirates from Huating County, like Liu Youyu, have bought houses in Huating County, and some have also engaged in some shops or something, completely regard pirates as a job, they are workers working for Li Yong, what the third said, Liu Youyu can not know, he is also very entangled now, how to develop new business, they are pirates, except for robbery, nothing will be done, he asked the third child rhetorically.

"And what good advice do you have?"

"You see, aren't we cutting off a lot of merchant ships now, and we don't need them, we can sell them to those who need them, especially the big ones, who will run to sea when they have ships, right? As long as they run to the sea, we will be alive, and when the time comes, we will rob ships and goods, and then the trade will come. ”

After hearing this, Liu Youyu kicked over and scolded.

"That's what you think? It's okay for you to do it like this, once or twice, do you think they're stupid? ”

The third child patted the kicked ass and continued.

"No, Boss, listen to me."

"Say, you say, don't say that you're ugly, see if I don't beat you to death."

Liu Youyu waved the whip in his hand and threatened.

"What you said, of course I know, we do this, sell the ship, and sell them passes, if their ships do not hang our passage flag, we will rob them, of course, to buy a pass will cost money, we can pay by lying down, we can also pay monthly, yearly, and then give them the corresponding discounts, in addition, every time their goods we have to charge their commission as a sea fee, so that we not only have a stable income, but also do not have to work so hard every time to rob the ship, if those people are disobedient, then sorryAs long as the adult is behind us and we don't violate the rules of the adult, I believe he will agree to us doing so. ”

After listening to the words of the third child, Liu Youyu exploded directly.

"Damn, you understand quite well, you shouldn't fucking be a pirate, change to a businessman, your suggestion is good, you discuss it with the second child, and then contact those big households, tell them what we mean, if you don't agree, hum~"

"Don't worry, boss, they don't agree, they can't go to the sea."

The Black Pearl Pirate Group, which the Jiangnan Shi clan was looking for, suddenly received their news, and when they saw their request, everyone's faces turned green, this is still a pirate, this is a proper profiteer.

"These bastards, it costs 50,000 taels of silver to buy a pass, and they can only use it once, and what is the monthly package of 200,000 taels, and even more excessive, there is an annual package, how much profit does it take for us to run a sea trade, and they still have to receive 10% of the goods every time, how can this be reasonable."

"Yun Guogong, you are the newly appointed governor of Taizhou Naval Division of the imperial court, what do you think?"

The head of the Jiangnan Shi clan looked at the middle-aged man sitting in the first place, he was Zhang Liang of the twenty-four Lingyan Pavilion heroes, he looked like some military generals in the Tang Dynasty, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, wearing a burly man, he knew at a glance that he was a reckless man, he was wearing a brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, and long shoes made of cowhide, the whole person looked very heroic, Zhang Liang was not the previous governor, he was the Yunguo Duke of the current dynasty, belonging to the Longxi aristocracy, the head of the Jiangnan Shi clan could not easily offend him, Because now they and the nobles of Longxi are on the same front, since the Black Pearl Pirates ransacked Taizhou Port, the governor of Ren was escorted back to Chang'an, the result can be imagined, even if Li Erxin is soft and does not kill him, then the whole family will not be able to run away from Lingnan, but who will take over the candidate for the governor of Taizhou Naval Division, and Li Er and the court are stumped, because in the Tang Dynasty, there are almost no generals who really understand naval warfare, Liu Renliang is one, but he only showed it in his old age, What's more, he was already Li Yong's person before he was discovered by the court, and there was another one who was Li Xiaogong, the king of Laohejian County, but the relationship between Li Xiaogong and Li Er was not good, and Li Xiaogong only wanted to enjoy, so he still had the heart to take care of the affairs of the court, and he didn't even want to do his own Dazongzheng, so he was excluded early, and now no one has to find a replacement, no way, in general, he sent Zhang Liang, the governor of the three prefectures of Fengxia, to the past, which is also what the nobles of Longxi and the Jiangnan Shi clan want, Because the person they actually have to deal with is Li Yong, and the Jiangnan Shi clan has no army is their shortcoming, and now Zhang Liang is here, which can be regarded as making up for their shortcomings.

"I can't give a penny, when the time comes, when you go to sea, I will let the sailor escort you, of course, this escort is to be paid, I hope you understand."

Zhang Liang drank the tea soup that the maid added to him, and drank it deliciously, for the tea soup, now many people in Datang don't drink it, but after their three camps blocked Li Yong, those fried teas are gone, only Chang'an still buys them, but the amount is very small, because they are not enough for the palace, there are still goods for the outside, so those who want to roast tea have long run out of food, and can only drink tea soup again, hearing Zhang Liang unceremoniously open directly to ask for money, the heads of the Jiangnan Shi clan are not used to it, Zhang Liang is right, If you want to get the protection of his sailor, you have to pay the price, the previous surnamed Ren because of his timidity, never dared to send warships to escort their merchant ships, but secretly sold them those weapons of the sailor, now it's okay, the Yun Guogong in front of them is really bold, but they also know that Zhang Liang came this time to do something about it, and eliminating pirates is one of them, and the Ministry of War has given clear instructions, he can deal with it with authority, which is equivalent to delegating power to him.

"Yun Guogong, thank you very much for your protection of us, food and salary are all small problems, now our main thing is that those damn pirates have robbed our ships and people, we don't have people and ships now, we can't go to sea at all."

Zhang Liang said calmly after putting down the teacup.

"It's simple, use our sailor's boat, we don't want more, the three achievements of the cargo can be, so that you don't have to buy a ship to build a new ship, you don't even need to invite people, once and for all, how good."

Hearing Zhang Liang's words, everyone was not calm, this is simply to cut off their way of life, this voyage of sea trade, is what cost they spent to jump out, finally ate a few years of dividends, now you are good, as soon as you come directly pick peaches, people pirates are excessive, so you don't get involved in direct sea trade, you Zhang Liang is directly stretched out chopsticks into our bowl, it is really excessive, but people are the sailors of Taizhou, or the Yun Guogong of the dynasty, the people sent by the Longxi Noble Alliance, they can't afford to offend, What to do now, Zhang Liang's request is impossible for them to agree, the scene was embarrassing for a while, Zhang Liang was not in a hurry, and slowly drank the tea soup.

"Yun Guogong, we still need to think about this matter in the long run, and it's not too early, so we won't disturb Yun Guogong to rest and leave."

The head of the Langya Xiao family first stood up and said goodbye to Zhang Liang, and then the other heads of the family also said goodbye, Zhang Liang didn't look at them, and he didn't stop them, because these people were buckets of gold in his eyes, he spent so much money to come here, but he hollowed out most of his family, if he didn't squeeze it back from them, then he wouldn't be surnamed Zhang. After the head of the Langya Xiao family left, he returned to the residence in Taizhou angrily and dropped a few teacups and was not relieved.

"The head of the family, but you are angry with that Yun Guogong?"

The temples of the Xiao family's main qi bulged, and the clenched fists creaked, so you can imagine how angry he was.

"This Zhang Liang is too much, holding the identity of a Longxi nobleman to show off his power in our territory, and he also wants to take away the sea trade voyage that we have worked so hard to come out of, he dares to think, shameless cheap."

Uncle Wang asked all the frightened subordinates who were kneeling on the ground to retreat, and then re-served him a cup of hot tea, and said respectfully on the side.

"Master of the house, why be angry with such a little man, doesn't he want to get involved in our voyage? Give it to him, and when the time comes, he will know that not everything can be eaten, and he must have good teeth, and don't knock out his teeth when the time comes. ”

When the head of the Xiao family heard this, his eyes lit up, and then he showed a sinister smile.

"Uncle Wang, Jiang is still old and spicy, then the next thing will trouble you, I want to let that Zhang Liang roll back to Chang'an like a mouse, we want everyone to know that Jiangnan is still our Jiangnan."

After that, the Jiangnan Shi clan secretly formed a battle line, and sent representatives of the negotiation team headed by Wang Bo and the Black Pearl Pirate Group to start negotiations, and finally negotiated with 10,000 taels of passes, 100,000 taels per month, and 1 million taels per year, and reached a settlement with 10 percent of each additional cargo, and the robbed merchant ships were all packed together and returned 10 million taels, as for the personnel pirates, there was nothing they could do, because those people had changed their careers to be pirates, and their families were also rescued by Li Yong's intelligence officers to Huating County. Without worries, you can make a lot of money, those people can't go back, and those scholars are not entangled in this, they just recruit another group of people, both sides have not signed any documents, because they don't trust each other, the Jiangnan scholars reconciled with the pirates behind Zhang Liang's back, and Zhang Liang is still thinking about his dream of making a fortune, he knows that those Jiangnan scholars will definitely compromise, because now the initiative is in his hands, this day he is in the backyard with the Jiangnan concubine who has just married, and his personal soldiers will report to him.

"Governor Dadu, those Jiangnan scholars are here and want to see you."

Zhang Liang couldn't help but smile contemptuously when he heard this.

"I thought they could resist for a few days, I didn't expect to be cowardly so soon, little baby, wash it and wait for the master to come back and hurt you."

After speaking, he stood up and walked to the front hall with his own soldiers, and the heads of the family who had been waiting for a long time saw him come out, and they all stood up and saluted him, Zhang Liang just nodded and said.

"Sit down."

The heads of the houses echoed.

"Duke Xie Yun."

"You came today, it seems that you have thought it through?"

Those family heads looked at Zhang Liang's invincible appearance, and couldn't help sneering in their hearts, It depends on whether you have the ability to do this, but you still say compromising words.

"Yes Yun Guogong, we have already discussed, we will do what you want, I just hope you can shelter us."

"It's easy to say, then I wish us a happy cooperation, hahaha~"

Zhang Liang laughed out loud after hearing this, as if he had seen boxes and boxes of gold and silver treasures in front of him, he didn't know that he had been sold by these people in front of him early on, and sold to pirates, because they used the goods this time to buy Zhang Liang's career, they would tell Liu Youyu about them pirates at the time and voyage of going to sea, and when the time came for Zhang Liang's sailors to be destroyed, they would not be afraid without sailors, because they had reconciled with the pirates, and there would be their protection at sea, and there would be no sailors at all. Five days later, the wind and the sun were beautiful, Zhang Liang made an important speech at the dock and the sailor fleet that was about to go to sea, this time he sent out most of the warships, in order to get more money, he only left 50 sailor warships in Taizhou port to defend, and 150 sailor warships turned into merchant ships and went to sea.

"That new sailor has sent so many boats out at once, it's really a big deal, and he thought we were vegetarians."

"These sailors seem to be very powerful, but in fact, when it comes to naval warfare, it is still up to us."

"Yes, Boss, when are we going to sea?"

"Don't worry, they have just gone to sea, it's time to return the ships of those big households, we don't talk about credit in the province, when the fleet of the sailors comes back, someone will naturally notify us, we will just wait for the time, and when the time comes, the sailors of Taizhou will be destroyed."

"Okay."

In the pirate camp in Chiweiyu, Liu Youyu and all the captains held a meeting and began to discuss how to fight Zhang Liang's sailors, and a detailed battle plan was being perfected, opening like a big net, just waiting for the Taizhou sailors to fall into it, Liu Youyu's plan to sneak attack and eliminate the Taizhou sailors naturally informed Li Yong, Liu Renliang looked at the battle plans made by these pirates, and his brows couldn't help frowning, thinking that this was a group of pirates?

"Boss, these people are too bold, they only have forty-five ships, and they dare to pick Zhang Liang's one hundred and fifty warships, are they crazy?"

Liu Renliang put down the very unprofessional battle plan and said, Li Yong had already read this battle plan, and he also thought it was incredible.

"Do you think they're going to win?"

Liu Renliang thought for a while and said.

"Yes and no, because although these pirates are not as professional as us, rats have a rat path, and they are already familiar with that sea area, and their combat ability is stronger than that of the imperial court's sailors, and their tactics are more flexible, but there are too many ships of the imperial court's sailors, and it looks like an egg hitting a stone."

"Actually, I'm quite optimistic about them, if they win this time, I want to integrate them all into your navy, you need them."

Hearing Li Yong's words, Liu Renliang was taken aback, he knew that in the past few months, these pirates have performed very well, they have all become the people of Huating County, and the administrative yamen has also publicized their deeds to the people of Huating County, and their identity as pirates has also been put on a sacred coat, because everything they do is for Huating County, so the people of Huating County are full of respect for them, but he is still very hesitant to adapt them to the navy, just in terms of their technology, it is more than enough, And they are better than his new recruits, but they have not been systematically trained, and they will definitely cause conflicts when the time comes.

"I'm not against them joining the navy, but boss, they haven't been professionally trained in the barracks, and there will definitely be chaos when the time comes."

"What's that matter is your problem, remember, you are not the commander of the Xishan Heavy Cavalry Regiment now, you are the commander of the Xishan Naval Combined Fleet, and you have greater responsibilities, understand?"

After Li Yong finished speaking, he left Liu Renliang's headquarters directly, leaving him alone in the wind, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and then shouted at the door where there was no one for a long time.

"No, you are irresponsible, I am the commander of the fleet, you are still an admiral, I am, I was trapped, Zheng Dahai, Zheng Dahai."

"What's wrong with the commander?"

Zheng Dahai heard Liu Renliang calling him, and he hurriedly ran over from the office next door.

"Where did the death go? I'll give you a mission, the Black Pearl Pirate Regiment that went out before, the Admiral means to integrate them into our navy, and when they come back, you will be in charge of their training. ”

"Not ......"

"Don't be nothing, Lao Zheng, this is what the Navy Command expects from you, you can work hard."

"I ......"

"I know, you must be very willing, so it's decided, if you're busy, I'll delay your work."

Zheng Dahai entered Liu Renliang's office in a daze, and then was pushed out of the door in a daze, and then was closed by the door, Liu Renliang inside the door rubbed his hands and hummed a little song, and then tidied up his military uniform in the mirror, and then said something stinky.

"Liu Renliang, Liu Renliang, you are really a little clever ghost."

And Zheng Dahai outside the door is stupid, what is this? This is typical bureaucracy, Zheng Dahai also scolded at the door.

"Liu Renliang, you black-hearted commander, what the general asked you to do, you asked me to do it, I am not finished with you."

For Zheng Dahai's scolding outside the gate, Liu Renliang ignored it, leaned on the Taishi chair and comfortably took Liu Youyu's battle plan and looked at it, and on the other side, the Jiangnan Shi clan, who had colluded with the pirates, received their merchant ships, and then gave the corresponding information to the pirates, so if the Taizhou Navy Division was defeated, it would be defeated in the collusion between the Shi clan and the pirates, so in those wars in the past, many failures were caused by those traitors, so it was the most shameful to betray the country for the sake of interests. If you catch one, you can just shoot it.
