Chapter Twenty-Five: The Right Wood

Secondly, this person can't be too big.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang wants to make money. It is impossible to put his name anywhere without making money, this is determined by Zhu Yuanzhang's power.

He Xi began to delineate the scope in his heart, this person can't have too much power. But the status should be sufficient. Because, if the status is too low, it will not be regarded as a class. At the same time, it is impossible to keep the wealth. He Xi chose him, which is harmful.

Of course, there is a more important point.

That is obedience.

Yes, obedient.

As long as you are honest and obedient, you can cooperate well.

He Xi thought about it for a while, but he didn't think of any suitable characters. Suddenly, a person came to his heart, and He Xi secretly said in his heart: "That's right." This person is too suitable. ”

This person is nothing else. It was the King of Jingjiang.

Now the King of Jingjiang is still under house arrest, and He Xi is still drying. Well, it's not left to dry either. He Xi really forgot about him. To tell the truth, King Jingjiang really doesn't know what to do. He Xi didn't mind letting someone else be the first to be sealed overseas. For example, King Lu.

Although he became King Lu's brother-in-law. It doesn't mean that He Xi can't ravage some King Lu well. Let this bear child know what it means to study hard and make progress every day.

In addition, the work is not going well, and many things have to be dealt with. The matter of King Jingjiang was put to the back of his mind.

Now that I think about it, King Jingjiang is really a good piece of wood, the premise is to convince King Jingjiang and be obedient first.

He Xi said: "I understand what Mr. Zhan meant. I have a good piece of wood on hand. ”

As for what kind of wood it is, it is not enough for outsiders to do so.

Fangguan's efficiency is fast.

He didn't need to go to Taizhou at all. He himself took a spin in Ningbo. Shake off the guards around you. Take a boat out to sea, turn around seven times or eight times, and you will come to a small island.

This small island is one of the Zhoushan Islands, hidden in the Zhoushan Islands. Not in the main waterways, very inconspicuous. It's just that there are caves on the island.

As soon as Fang Guan landed on the island, he was immediately taken away.

Delivered to the island. But under the mountains, there is a bay. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, sheltered from wind and water. It's a well-hidden place.

"Big boss. There was an outsider on the island. "A few minions, send Fang Guan to an old man.

When the old man saw Fang Guan, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Childe." ”

When Fang Guan saw the old man, he also sighed and said, "Uncle." I didn't expect to see you again in this life. ”

This is also the reason why Fang Guan dared to come lightly.

As mentioned earlier, Fang Guozhen is nepotistic, and those in power under his command are all related to him. Of course, this may be the reason why he lost to Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang. This old man was not Fang Guan's own uncle. After all, there are never fewer women around Fang Guozhen. If you really want to talk about it, Fang Guan has no blood relationship with him.

But today, Fangguan is not today's Fangguan. Naturally, I didn't dare to take the shelf.

It's not my uncle, it's my uncle.

Fang Guan's uncle's surname is Dai, and his name is Dai Mingshi. He is about the same age as Fang Guan. The Dai family was the master of maritime businessmen back then. The strength is strong, not inferior to the national treasure. After Fang Guozhen just started his family, he used rogue means to become the son-in-law of the Dai family and brought the Dai family's fleet under his command.

This is also the source of Fang Guan's uncle.

The Dai family can be regarded as benevolent and righteous to Fang Guozhen.

Later, Fang Guozhen surrendered. The Dai family was reluctant to follow Fang Guozhen to Nanjing. I don't think there will be any future in Nanjing. The Dai family has eaten at sea for several lifetimes. I'm not going to change careers either. Stayed.

However, Fang Guan knew that the Dai family was miserable later.

Just think about it, with the means of Zhu Yuanzhang, Tang He and others, how can they leave potential safety hazards. What does the change of dynasty represent behind this, and it represents the redistribution of interests. When the Dai family was in Fang Guozhen's time, it was famous for a while, but today it has changed. The Dai family thought that they could keep what they had been.

It's a dream.

Fortunately, the Dai family is also clever enough. Don't do anything. Anointed with oil on the soles of his feet, he left his hometown and hid in the sea. Only then did he escape.

Speaking of which, the Dai family may be a pirate in the eyes of the Ming court. The so-called Fang Guozhen's old department.

The two hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, and they were excited to greet each other. Dai Mingshi asked people to prepare a banquet. Treat your nephew well.

However, it took a long time. The excitement of the reunion faded.

Dai Mingshi also knows. Fang Guan must have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. According to his understanding, Fang Guan should be in Nanjing at the moment, and when he suddenly came here, he must have done something. I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do for a while.

He treated Fang Guan well at the same time. I'm also muttering in my heart. Secretly said: "If Fang Guan wants to make a comeback." What am I going to do? ”

Dai Mingshi couldn't say clearly.

In fact, contact has been broken for more than ten years. What kind of relationship is fading. Loyalty or something, even less. It stands to reason that it is impossible for Dai Mingshi to do risky things with Fang Guan. It's really the Dai family who has been too bitter over the years. It's as if many people think that bandits should be like the heroes of Liangshan, drinking wine in big bowls and eating meat. In fact, most of the bandits are hungry twice a day.

Many people think that pirates should be generous and spend a lot of money. But in fact, they have a lot of things, and no matter how much money they have, they can't buy things.

Not to mention, now is the time when the Ming soldiers are the strongest. The suppression of these pirates by the Ming court made them miserable.

Even Dai Mingshi has been pondering one thing in his heart, whether to give up the foundation here and go to Nanyang.

Although my hometown is good, I can't survive, and there is no way.

Fang Guan didn't know that Dai Mingshi had such an idea. His idea of coming here is very simple, on the one hand, he learned about some sea conditions through the Dai family. On the other hand, I want to get some manpower from the Dai family.

To be honest, it's not that Fang Guan looks down on the Daming Water Master. Running the ocean. It's still easy to use today's old people.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Fang Guan asked Dai Mingshi about sea trade. Dai Mingshi has no doubt about him. It also opened the conversation. Many things are as simple as that, outside the circle, He Xi is looking for it, and he can't ask for much. Now for those in the circle, this is not a secret at all.

Dai Mingshi sighed and said, "Nowadays, business at sea is becoming more and more difficult. If this continues, in two years, I will also rob it. ”

Fang Guan said: "Why is the sea trade route not passable? ”

Dai Mingshi said: "The business routes on the sea are okay, Chen Zuyi is in Nanyang, and he can be regarded as having a firm foothold, with more than 10,000 horses, and those soil kings in Nanyang do not dare to slack off." As long as the freight is transported to Nanyang, Chen Zuyi can eat it. The profit is good. By the way, Chen Zuyi is also under the command of the old prince. ”

Fang Guan was stunned for a moment and said, "Really? How I don't remember. ”

Dai Mingshi said: "His father, Lao Chen, ran a boat under your uncle back then. You probably haven't seen it. Now it's the climate. ”

Fang Guan suddenly felt that there was some bitterness between his lips and teeth, and he needed a glass of strong wine to pour it down.

Although he still doesn't remember who Chen Zuyi is. After all, tens of thousands of soldiers under Fang Guozhen's command back then, listening to Dai Mingshi's voice, this Chen Zuyi was just a low-level officer back then. How could Fang Guan know, he was the prince at the beginning.

It's just that times have changed.

He, the crown prince, was trapped in the city of Nanjing. The petty officer he didn't know back then became a hero.

That's the most uncomfortable thing.

It's not that I'm having a bad time, it's not that others are doing well. It's people who are not as good as themselves in the first place. While I was not doing well, I was doing very well. This made Fang Guan even more uncomfortable. After a few glasses of spirits, Fang Guan adjusted his mood, and Fang Guan continued to ask: "Since the business route is smooth, why can't you make money?" ”

Dai Mingshi said: "There is no stock." I've been running to the sea all my life, and I've never seen the imperial court manage it so strictly. Every year, I desperately make some goods, and the price is also high. At that time, the price in Nanyang was also high. It's just that the money is in our hands, what use can it be? If you want to get some daily necessities, you have to risk killing your head to go ashore. ”

"Look, you're here. I can only ask you to eat sea fish. What is this? ”

Fang Guan didn't notice. The table in front of him was full of sea fish. Of course, for Fang Guan, this is a hometown taste that has been absent for many years. But for those who have been at sea all year round, it is not a taste.
