"Lord Xiong, you dare to go to Fujian to be the governor, and you also want to do something for Daming!

You...... Have you ever thought about recruiting Zheng Zhilong? ”

"Don't hide it from the factory father, before I came to Ying Tianfu, I just had contact with him. With Daming's current situation, it is difficult to recruit him! ”

Xiong Wencan, his face is difficult.

Wang Li thought about it for a while, and quickly understood the difficulty of "recruiting An"!

Zheng Zhilong's identity as a pirate does not affect Zhao'an;

He kidnapped the people of Fujian, although it was a capital crime, it did not affect Zhao'an;

He quietly smuggled goods, but it still did not affect Zhao'an;

The point is, he has a close relationship with the Wa Kingdom!

This is the direct reason why Xiong Wencan didn't dare to recruit An!

The "sea ban" policy that the Ming Dynasty clung to was actually set by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang!

At that time, the pirates of the Japanese Kingdom were really rampant, and the Ming Dynasty was powerless to eradicate them, so they could only implement a sea ban!

Until now, the merchant ships that dared to travel to and from the Japanese and the merchant ships that dared to trade goods with the Japanese were all punished as "Tongwai"!

Capital crime! Sin is unforgivable!

Moreover, he also married a Japanese woman!

The sin of the guilty is certain!

After chatting with Xiong Wencan for a long time, Wang Li realized that he had a small belly!

At the beginning, Xiong Wencan's words were a little ugly, this was just his character, in fact, there was no malice.

At first, he said that "it is difficult to build his own port", and Wang Li thought that he was worried about "being robbed of business", which was also a misunderstanding.

Actually, Xiong Wencan can be regarded as above board, not so many fancy intestines!

After "Spring Rain in the South of the Yangtze River" was played, Le Ji took the initiative to change it to "Mountains and Flowing Water".

Judging from tonight's reward, she earned at least five hundred taels of silver in this box!

Wang Li finally understood why those stupid forks who watched the live broadcast wanted to give rewards!

Because, at this moment, I have become a stupid fork!

But well......

The Zhao Ji in front of him, people are making money with their real skills!

I don't have to say anything about piano skills!

The appearance is quite attractive!

Moreover, there is no beauty filter, the real thing!

Wang Li's gaze wandered on Zhao Ji from time to time, and Xiong Wencan saw it all.

"Factory father, this Le Ji is really good! At most, a few thousand taels can help her redeem herself! Do you want...... Ransom over to warm your bed? ”

"Good! If you dare to pay, I will dare to ask for it! ”

"No, no, no, you better do it yourself!"

Xiong Wencan shook his head again and again, and smiled: "I'm saving money, and I'm going to ransom Zhen Ji in Meixiang Building!"

Alas! I heard that the price has increased again!

Now, it's fifty-five thousand taels! ”

I'll go!

Fifty-five thousand taels?

How beautiful is this person?

can make Yuan Chonghuan and Xiong Wencan full of praise, and it won't be bad if you think about it!

It's just that......

It costs tens of thousands of taels to ransom a girl, how rich is the bustard in the Qinglou?

It's too risky to levy a commercial tax!

Someone killed you by accident!

Why don't you set your sights on the green building?

This should be easy to bully, right?

So, Wang Li smiled faintly and called Song Zhe: "Send someone to check all the hooks on both sides of the Qinhuai River, what is the identity of the old bustard!" Who is behind her! ”

"Factory, what do you mean ......?"

"Don't talk so much nonsense! Hurry up! ”

"That'...... Well......"

Song Zhe reluctantly went.

It wasn't until he left that Wang Li noticed the smell of fat powder on his body!

Alas!

You're doing something, just find someone to tell me!

I'm just going to change someone!

Excuse me!

"Gonggong, are you really interested in this Zhao Ji?"

"Uh...... Yes...... Hmmm......"

Wang Li agreed hesitantly, and Xiong Wencan suddenly stood up: "Factory father, you really like her, just say a word!" ”

Wang Li came back to his senses, Xiong Wencan had already left the box!

I'll go!

This guy is looking for the bustard!

I can't pull it!

Depressed!

Can you tell him that the whispers in Song Zhe's ear just now were all misunderstandings?

It can only be said that the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty are really special!

The phenomenon of "right food" and "vegetable households" in the palace has long been commonplace.

It is also common for eunuchs who leave the palace to find a woman to take care of each other and spend the second half of their lives together.

What Wang Li didn't know was that Xiong Wencan found himself, not simply revealing the news, but racking his brains to bribe!

As a newly arrived governor, he didn't care where the new port was built!

What he wants is actually a water master!

In Xiong Wencan's opinion, as long as the pirate Zheng Zhilong is exterminated, as long as the Dutch sailors are repelled, the coast of the Ming Dynasty can be peaceful!

This feat, even if it is not as good as the anti-Japanese hero Qi Jiguang, but it is not far from ten!

However, musket artillery was indispensable for even the most streamlined sailors!

This requires at least hundreds of thousands of silver!

As soon as he arrived in Fujian, he immediately handed over the recital to Zhu Youzhen.

exaggerated the strength of the Dutch sailor and Zheng Zhilong several times!

I hope that the imperial court can allocate a million pieces of silver.

Even if it's discounted, four or five hundred thousand, you can still build a streamlined sailor!

However, his recital was rejected without hesitation!

In fact, Zhu Youzhen also wants to build a water division!

After clearing the pirates on the southeast coast, you can also go north to support the Liaodong battlefield, and even bypass North Korea and sneak attack the rear of Huang Taiji!

It's a pity that the household department has no money!

Zhu Youzhen has no money!

The armies of the Nine Sides have long been dispersed due to non-payment!

The little silver left in the imperial court can only be used in Liaodong!

There, is the lifeline of Daming!

Wang Li knew that Zhu Youzhen had no money, and he knew that the household department had no money, but Xiong Wencan didn't know!

This governor from Sichuan is indeed above board, and he has not formed a gang in the DPRK and China!

However, in order to prepare for the establishment of the water division, he chose to compromise!

In his opinion, Wang Li is Zhu Youzhen's most trusted person!

As long as he has a few nice words in Zhu Youzhen's ear, there is hope for the formation of a water division!

In addition, Zhen Yao of Meixianglou and Xiong Wencan really fell in love at first sight!

He is indeed raising money and wants to help her redeem herself!

But compared with the formation of a water division, Zhen Yao is not so important.

So, after some ideological struggle, Xiong Wencan began to pay bribes!

It's a pity that Wang Li's gaze at Zhao Ji, the refreshing reward, and the whisper in Song Zhe's ear made Xiong Wencan misunderstand!

"Factory father, this is Zhao Ji's deed of sale, you can take her away!"

"How much?"

"Not much, three thousand taels ......"

"I'll go! I'm just a eunuch, you stuffed Zhao Ji over, isn't it a tyrannical thing? So, take it yourself! ”

"But...... Factory, don't you like to listen to music!

Zhao Ji can not only help you with laundry and cooking, but also play the piano alone for you!

It can be eye-catching during the day and warm the bed at night, why is it so violent? ”

“……”

"Thank you so much, ...... Gong"

Zhao Ji respectfully saluted Xiong Wencan, and then stood quietly beside Wang Li.

I don't know whether this face is sad or happy.

Wang Li was not stupid, and guessed that Xiong Wencan had a request for himself: "Lord Xiong, if there is anything, you can speak directly!" ”

"This ...... Alas......"

Xiong Wencan was speechless, talking about the intentions and difficulties of preparing for the establishment of the water division, and his face became more and more ugly.

He was already short of money, so where could he get more money to bribe?

Wang Li pondered for a while, motioned for Zhao Ji to continue stroking the qin, and then smiled faintly: "Lord Xiong, how much money do you have in your hands?" Let's be honest! ”

Xiong Wencan didn't know Wang Li's original intention, and said truthfully: "Only 100,000 taels!" Factory father, Xiong has been out of office for 35 years, until today, there is really only this bit of silver! ”

"Lord Bear! You have been an official for 20 years, and you have been a second-class governor, but you only have 100,000 taels of silver, and you can be regarded as a Qing official! ”

Wang Li shook his head, and Xiong Wencan hurriedly poured wine: "Factory father! Now in the Ming Dynasty, there are Jiannu tigers in the north, and pirates in the south are harassing, which is a good time to make contributions!

If the factory can help each other, it is the luck of the Ming Dynasty and the luck of the people! It's a pity...... Alas......"

"If you want to make a contribution, you don't have to be a sailor!

In my opinion, even without a sailor, the southeast coast can be pacified! As long as the timing is right, there is still a chance to make a difference! ”

Xiong Wencan was silent, but Wang Li had an idea and asked, "In your opinion, how much silver is needed to exterminate the pirate Zheng Zhilong?" ”

"If you don't build a water division, you need at least 100,000 taels of silver!

This can only form an infantry of 10,000 men, and can only be equipped with a small number of muskets;

Moreover, before Zheng Zhilong lands on the shore, make an ambush in advance!

And it will happen within a year!

Otherwise, the team will collapse due to lack of money!

Therefore, there are opportunities, but they are not easy to achieve!

”

"Really?" Wang Li smiled faintly and said solemnly:

"I'll help you destroy Zheng Zhilong, and then help you pacify the southeast coast, and all the credit will be yours!

But how about your hundred thousand taels of silver to me? ”

"Factory, you're not kidding, are you?"

"Lord Xiong, do you think I'm joking? Why don't we make a note? ”

Looking Wang Li up and down, Xiong Wencan was stunned!

Are you kidding?

can really pacify the southeast sea frontier of the Ming Dynasty, even if the merits are not as good as Qi Jiguang, it is enough to leave a name in history!

Not to mention 100,000 taels of silver, even if it is 200,000 taels, 500,000 taels are worth it!

Besides, pay the money after the deed is done!

Risk-free!

After repeatedly making sure that Wang Li was not joking, Xiong Wencan was overjoyed!

Of course, the stakes are so high that it is impossible to write down the notes!

So, the two verbally made a "gentleman's agreement".

Wang Li, don't be afraid of Wen Can's debts!

And Xiong Wencan, for fear that Wang Li would pay the bill!

rushed to pay three taels of silver for wine and food, and said a lot of good things, so he left worriedly.

It's just that Zhao Qian, who was ransomed by him, insisted on refusing to take it away.

Actually, Zhao Qian is about seventeen or eighteen years old, and she looks pretty good.

If it weren't for the identity of a eunuch, if he wasn't afraid of revealing his stuffing, Wang Li really wanted to take her as a concubine.

Giving her away or selling her back to the Qinglou really can't do this kind of thing.

That's it, her piano skills are okay anyway.

It's not bad to caress the piano and help with laundry and quilts.

"Factory father! Liu Ruyan also arrived in Nanjing! According to the report of the following Jinyiwei, she was in Yixiang Building and quarreled with the old bustard! ”

Liu Ruyan?

Didn't she go back to Wujiang Province to kiss?

She hasn't returned to Jingshi yet?

How in Nanjing?

Quarrel with the bustard? What's going on here?

Could it be ...... She wants to sell herself to Qinglou?

The price is not negotiated?

Should...... No way!

This girl is very good-looking, and the food she cooks is quite delicious!

Also, I learned to massage!

I didn't have her by my side during this time, and I really missed it!

When looking for Liu Ruyi, you have to rely on her!

Yes, let her take herself to Liu Ruis now!

Otherwise, when she sells herself in the Qinglou, she will have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to redeem it!

That's a big loss!

"Go to Yixiang House now! Protect her and don't let her suffer! ”

"No!"
