? Chapter 314 Brother is also a well-informed person

As soon as Zheng Zhilong's words came out, Yu Feng didn't even hesitate at the end, although he didn't know why Zheng Zhilong sold him so well, but the biggest resistance was gone, and there was no difficulty at all in how to do this.

"Actually, Yu Mou came this time, but there is a small matter to trouble the big dragon, since everyone talks about this sea business, ask for 'sex' and bring it up together." Yu Feng paused: "Brother also 'get' a few shops in Nanjing, 'get' some things on the sea to supplement the family, but although this business is not big, there are indeed many people who look red, since it is a business from the sea to Daming, Yu has not yet known the meaning of the sky and the height of the earth to make decisions without authorization, so ......"

Compared with agreeing to Yu Feng's 'trade' with the Portuguese, this is a bit out of the table, although this year, it is also tens of thousands of silver peace money, but where will Zheng Zhilong take this point in his eyes.

"The rules can't be broken, but this thing is not very difficult, it's a big deal, the other shipowners' transactions on this road, my Zheng family doesn't do it!" Zheng Zhilong groaned for a moment and said slowly. Since it is sold well, of course, it will be sold thoroughly, and the losses outside the wall will be made up inside, if the Zheng family can 'insert' a lever in North Korea's business, these small silver losses are nothing.

"The big dragon head is really heroic!" Yu Feng praised, "Yu Feng will not let the brothers on that road go to drink the northwest wind every day, in this way, this rule is still the same, 3,000 taels per boat is a lot, every year, Yu Mou will give another 100,000 taels, lest the brother of the big dragon head laugh at Yu Mou can't be a man!" ”

Zheng Zhilong smiled and accepted, and couldn't help but be satisfied with Yu Feng's understanding. This person who is the leader is really old-fashioned, although even if Yu Feng doesn't give him this money, he can force him to carry out his intentions, but, with this money, isn't it better for him to be understood by the people below? To be a leader, you must not only handle well the external relations of your own forces, but also the internal relations of your own forces. In these years, where there is loyalty and righteousness, it is easier to buy people's hearts.

"Mr. Williams, have you heard of Lord Langton?" Yu Feng turned his head and said to Williams with a smile, a representative of the Chamber of Commerce in front of him was a little lighter than the governor of a kingdom, so the smile on his face looked a little bit of banter.

"Lord Langton, when he was in Lisbon, he was a great magnate in the imperial capital! This one... I've had the pleasure of meeting a few times! Williams is talking nonsense, he is just a senior deacon in the Chamber of Commerce, although he has some power in the Chamber of Commerce, but compared with Langton, the younger brother of the queen behind him, the gap between that is estimated to be not much closer than the distance from Fujian to Beijing. How could he be familiar with each other, the two were not in the same circle at all!

"Oh, that's good!" Yu Feng smiled: "I heard that the governor of Luzon of your kingdom has returned to Lisbon to report on his duties, I think His Excellency the governor must be eager to leave the East!" ”

"What do you mean?" Williams listened to Xiaolian's crisp translation of Yu Feng's words, and his mind kept spinning: "What does this Oriental mean?" Was he alluding to the relationship between this Lord Langton and the Governor? ”

To say, this business person, the head is not enough, Yu Feng's two seemingly irrelevant words, in the eyes of others, it is nothing more than Yu Feng showing off first, he is not a dirt bun, he also knows a little about the Portuguese things, but to really understand his words, you have to carefully chew the meaning of his words, it seems, there are words in this?

This "other" at this table is only limited to Zheng Hongkui, if you talk about vision, I am afraid that he is the worst one among these four people, even Williams, because Yu Feng is talking about the affairs of their kingdom, he thinks more than him.

Zheng Zhilong is not to mention, when it comes to the well-informed news, if he is called second, among these people, no one will dare to call him first, he has long known such news, and he is also pondering at this moment, what does Yu Feng mean by this?

Fortunately, Yu Feng didn't have much bad taste, and soon revealed the mystery, which made him spend a lot less brains.

"If I'm not mistaken, this new Governor of Luzon should be His Excellency this Lord, and unfortunately, I still have a little bit of 'friendship' with this Lord, Mr. Williams, do you think it would be more profitable for me to talk to Lord Lord, who is the Governor of Luzon, about this deal, or to talk to you Ricky about this deal?"

There is also this kind of thing, Zheng Zhilong's heart moved, turned his head to look at Yu Feng, and his evaluation of Yu Feng was a little higher. However, Williams was a little unconvinced and shouted: "That's not the case, Yu, you must not know our kingdom, even if you are the governor, you have no right to interfere in the business activities of our chamber of commerce, we are also in the reigning kingdom to create wealth!" ”

"Oh, is that so?" The smile in Yu Feng's eyes was even worse: "You mean, the officials of your kingdom in the east can't govern the people of your kingdom?" ”

"......." Williams stammered.

"Okay, Williams, don't take advantage of it, when it comes to lip-talking, the three of us together can't compare to Brother Yu, but people are scholars, where can we compare a few rough people!" Zheng Zhilong scolded Williams with a smile and played a round.

Williams was extremely aggrieved, people clearly felt that his status was low, and they didn't talk to him, which made him feel that he was already very great, and he had some internal injuries, regardless of the other party's words, whether it was slandering him or not, but the other party's attitude was to show that it was not not to talk about it, the other party was going to talk to a kingdom official who could call the shots in the East. He seemed to understand a little, why he repeatedly sent someone to contact that Velasco, and the other party ignored it, it turned out that this root was here!

"Brother Yu is very powerful, I thought that I was already well-informed about the news on the sea, did I think that Brother Yu even knew the promotion and appointment of Portuguese officials clearly, the fourth, I don't respect Brother Yu, this means, you can't learn it with me!"

It seems that this is the end of the conversation, and the somewhat embarrassing atmosphere at the banquet finally slowly disappeared in Zheng Hongkui's few glasses of toasts and Zheng Zhilong's witty words, and gradually began to have a harmonious taste.

After the banquet was dismissed, Yu Feng was sent back to the house where he lived with a little bit of alcohol, and Williams was not in high spirits, and was carried to his residence drunk, knowing that the two guests had left, Zheng Zhilong only turned a snow-white handkerchief handed over by the maid next to him, wiped his mouth, stood up, and said to Zheng Hongkui: "Fourth, you come to the study with me!" ”

"Big brother, this Yu Feng, if you want to 'meddle' in our business, no matter how you agree, on that road, even if we don't take care of it, there will be more than 100,000 taels of silver a year!" As soon as he entered the study, Zheng Hongkui couldn't wait to ask, and it could be seen that this sentence had been held back in his heart for a long time.

"Fourth, can you take a long-term view, is it possible that a little silver will make you 'spent'?" Zheng Zhilong was a little dissatisfied, and the things he talked about during the banquet were the smallest, but he didn't expect that what Zheng Hongkui never forgot was this.

"What Yu Feng wants is not this route, what he wants is that there are no other ships competing with his ship on this route, don't you see this? How many boats does he have, even if it is 3,000 taels per boat, he can't afford so much silver a year, not to mention, he doesn't give these 3,000 taels, he is full of food, and he 'spends' more than 100,000 taels to buy our brothers happy? ”

"Is he forbidden?" Zheng Hongkui was a little unconvinced.

"He can't ban it, but with our Zheng family's ship, can't it be banned? Do you understand? These 100,000 taels were bought for the inaction of my Zheng family, or in other words, for a little 'friendship' of my Zheng family! ”

"Big brother, you can see it, then why did you still promise him!"

"Alas!" Zheng Zhilong sighed weakly and sat on the chair: "Compared with the profits of North Korea, this route is just a small profit, my Zheng family uses this small profit to bet that he has the ambition to be a hero and be able to control North Korea, this return is such a huge business, you say, you still can't do it?" ”

Zheng Hongkui was a little dumbfounded, he was not as good as his brother, he thought so long-term, but he didn't think there was anything shameful about this, with his own brother here, there was no need for him to think about these things, what to ask, his brother would definitely think more than himself, he only needed to contribute.

Zheng Zhilong also lost interest in continuing to teach him, this younger brother, if he wants to be independent, he still has a long way to go, this is not an overnight thing, and it can't be rushed.

"Also, there are still a few days before your nephew's 100 days, in these few days, you must greet him well, don't send someone else, you go in person, this matter, don't mess up, maybe, this residual wind is the most powerful ally of my Zheng family in the future, this south and north, echoing each other from afar, even if the Central Plains is 'chaotic' now, it can't shake the foundation of our Zheng family!"

"Good!"

"Tomorrow I will go and talk to the envoy about the relocation of the people, and come up with a specific charter. This matter can't be delayed any longer, otherwise, I'm afraid this winter will not be easy! A slight smile bloomed on his face, "I thought I was going to 'spend' some money to settle these people, it seems that someone has paid for us with this money, but I'm afraid that he will be willing, this is called a willingness to fight, a willingness to suffer!" ”
