Chapter 33: Kim Seung-woo
"Liu Yifeng, why, can't it be over if we let those Dongyi slaves live, why do we have to live in it!?"
Feng Shuo didn't want to live in the bilge at all, and when the Japanese slave girl was still there, he could say, what are you going to do now? Do you want to perform traditional crafts with a futon that smells of Japanese slave girls?
Besides, who knows whether the hard shells of those bedding after some of the liquid on them dried up were left by the Japanese slave girls, or by the former crew members.
Thinking of this, Feng Shuo became even more depressed, and decided that he must persuade Liu Yifeng not to do stupid things: "Liu Yifeng, there's no need, really." Now everyone on the ship is convinced of you, this kind of foolish behavior that attracts people's hearts is really unnecessary! ”
Feng Shuo's words are also the common understanding of Liu Yifeng on the ship, including the crew, who took the initiative to bring people into the bilge, and they all think that Liu Yifeng is sacrificing himself to buy people's hearts.
Some people are still a little touched in their hearts, but most people are laughing at Liu Yifeng for using too much force.
Including Aobai, Ni Kantu and Feng Shuo's Jianzhou slaves, they also thought so, but they didn't dare to express anything, they now hoped that Feng Shuo's master could persuade Liu Yifeng's master.
In addition to them, there are also Dongyi slaves of the 12 Yongdang trading houses led by Kim Seung-woo. Jin Chengyou saw that Liu Yifeng "bought people's hearts" and took the initiative to live in the bilge, without any hesitation to force all the voices in his team, and followed Liu Yifeng to the bilge.
In this way, the people in the bilge are enough.
"Feng Shuo, we still have to live in this bilge."
"Why, they're all secretly laughing at you!"
"Let them laugh, they will regret it in the future."
Feng Shuo's expression froze, and he understood a little: "What's the benefit of this bilge?" ”
"Absolutely." Liu Yifeng asked everyone else to go to the outside of the bilge to guard, not letting anyone in, leaving only Ao Bai and Ni Kantu.
"Let me ask you, how much do you know about Dongshan Prefecture?"
3 people, you look at me, I look at you, no one speaks.
"I don't really know, so I've been inquiring all this time." Liu Yifeng said: "Dongshan Prefecture is not as safe as we imagined. There are bears and tigers in the wild, and because most of Dongshan Prefecture is undeveloped wilderness, there are quite a few bears and tigers. ”
One of Feng Shuo's three people often haunts Mobei and the Northeast, and the other two grew up in the Northeast, and they are no strangers to bears and tigers, and their faces suddenly looked a little unpleasant.
"And the bears and tigers in Dongshan Prefecture can be big and extremely ferocious. Only eight or nine of our people are going to go to the wilderness to pioneer the wilderness, and when the time comes, it is very likely that we will encounter bears and tigers or something. Liu Yifeng continued to scare the three people: "So we need weapons that can protect ourselves." ”
Feng Shuo turned his head to look at the somewhat dimly lit cabin, not understanding what could be used as a weapon here: "Liu Yifeng, you mean there are weapons here?" ”
"Yes." He lifted a futon to reveal the wooden box underneath.
After opening the wooden box, Feng Shuo and Ni Kantu shouted in unison: "Fire Gun!" ”
Although neither of these two people has ever touched the firecracker, but one has worked as a laborer in the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and the other has traveled with the Central Plains and Mobei all the year round.
"Be quiet!"
Liu Yifeng closed the lid and explained the origin of these handcuffs to the three people.
The more Feng Shuo listened, the brighter his eyes became, especially when Liu Yifeng said that they could find a way to sell a batch of these handcuffs at that time, and after they had money, they would find an opportunity to redeem themselves and become a force in Dongshan Prefecture.
"Can you guarantee your loyalty?" Liu Yifeng asked Feng Shuo.
"No problem, they've been subdued by me a long time ago."
"Please rest assured, masters, they are not fools, they will understand the value that these firecrackers bring to them, and no one will say it." Nikantu also chimed in.
The reason is very simple, these Jianzhou slaves betrayed Feng Shuo and Liu Yifeng, and they can't share any credit at all, and they will inevitably be taken away by other Han people halfway. Then they also lost their old dependence and lived a life of being bullied. It is better to choose to follow Liu Yifeng and Feng Shuo firmly, I believe that they will use these firearms to make their lives better.
In the same way, there is also Jin Chengyou's batch of Dongyi slaves, but Feng Shuo is still not at ease: "Liu Yifeng, I don't believe those Dongyi slaves!" ”
In fact, Liu Yifeng was not completely convinced by Jin Chengyou, but he didn't have a choice. 124 handguns, even if they are taken off the ship in two batches, at least more than 30 people are needed, and Kim Seungwoo's batch of Dongyi slaves is really their last choice.
"There are smart people among them, I think that Kim Seungwoo is good, it is enough to convince him. When the time comes, when they hide the fire guns on their bodies, they will not dare to expose the remaining Dongyi slaves. ”
Liu Yifeng has a good grasp of human nature.
These Dongyi slaves are timid and cowardly and dare not cause trouble, as long as Jin Chengyou is convinced, when the other Dongyi slaves find themselves assisting in disembarking with contraband, it is estimated that they will not dare to take any other actions except for honestly cooperating with Liu Yifeng.
"At least don't let them sleep on it, lest they find out."
"You can handle this, and I'll go talk to that Kim Seungwoo."
Leaving Feng Shuo, who was full of energy, to command the Jianzhou slave to hide the handcuffs, Liu Yifeng walked out of the bilge and found Kim Seung-woo to take him to the deck.
Kim Seung-woo was nervous, this was the first time he had spoken alone with Liu Yifeng in more than two months.
Liu Yifeng looked at the nervous Kim Seung-woo, and suddenly realized that he didn't know Goryeo, and he didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Jin Chengyou took the initiative to speak: "Big boss, what is the matter with you looking for a villain?" ”
"Do you know Chinese?"
"I've been studying for the past two months."
No one in Yongdang Commercial Bank can speak Goryeo, but among the other four trading firms, there is a Korean who can speak Chinese, and another Jianzhou slave can also speak some Goryeo, and these two have always been Liu Yifeng's imperial translators when he managed Dongyi Nu.
Kim Seung-woo is inspired to become a Hermes-Epitek, so he has been learning from the two.
He actually has a foundation, during the Li Dynasty, after the landlord class to which he belonged completed the enlightenment education, they all had to learn the language of the Celestial Empire. It's just that when he was born, Goryeo was already occupied by the Japanese people, and he only learned a little bit from his father who knew Chinese, and laid the foundation at that time.
When he was in the Minfu camp of Jinzhou Yongdang Commercial Bank, he was not smart enough to understand Liu Yifeng's meaning, but understood Liu Yifeng's words. But out of prudence, he did not reveal that he had a foundation in Chinese, and has been hiding it until today.
Liu Yifeng chatted with him for a while, and guessed that this kid was hiding his own business.
After two months of study, you may be able to understand everyday Chinese, but just now Liu Yifeng deliberately inserted quite a lot of idioms and colloquialisms in the chat, which people who can only understand daily conversations in Chinese can't understand, but Jin Chengyou not only perfectly understood Liu Yifeng's meaning, but also used idioms in his reply with a little showmanship.
However, Liu Yifeng did not expose Jin Chengyou's careful thinking, and when he was in the camp of the Yongdang Commercial Bank in Jinzhou, he saw that Jin Chengyou was a smart person.
Smart people, obedient, and for the time being, the character is okay, this kind of person is very good as a younger brother.
He is also more confident in persuading Kim Seung-woo to help him keep the secret of the fire-gun, because Kim Seung-woo's attitude towards him has an obvious intention of taking refuge.
He was going to take it first, and then find a chance to test whether this person could be trusted.
