Negotiation of interests
After Liu Hongbo's words were finished, the pirates all began to look at each other.
After quickly glancing at Qin Cang and Chai Xian, Lei Tong showed a smile at Liu Hongbo.
I only heard him speak: "In the final analysis, this matter is also a matter between us and Song Zhen and a few people, and it actually has nothing to do with adults."
If the adult feels that the benefit in hand is less, we can compensate the difference to the adult.
But if the adults insist on standing on the side of Song Zhen and the others, and want to help them continue to take advantage of us, then I can't agree. ”
After Lei Tong's words were finished, Liu Hongbo couldn't help frowning.
He pondered for a while before he spoke, "What the Lord of Thunder Island said is a bit of an outlandishness.
Our business today is like a big ship.
I am in the same boat with you, and I hope that this big ship will be able to move steadily and far.
The island lords and Song Zhen and the others are like the hull and sails of this ship, no matter which side is missing, this ship cannot sail.
In this way, the interests of the officials will certainly be greatly affected.
Therefore, from the standpoint of this official, he will not take sides. ”
After listening to Liu Hongbo's words, Lei Tong spoke: "I can naturally understand the concerns of adults.
But I was forced to do so.
Today, the merchant ships that travel by sea either hire sailors to escort them or hire armed escorts.
We have to pay a lot of casualties for every operation.
If you are cooperating with each other, should we bear these losses alone? ”
Liu Hongbo opened his mouth and said: "Although what the Lord of Thunder Island said is reasonable, Song Zhen and the others are not without paying.
It should be known that the buying and selling between the two parties is getting bigger and bigger, and it is difficult for the original trade route to sell the goods in a short time.
Therefore, it is necessary to open up trade routes as soon as possible.
And it is not only difficult to open up trade routes, but the cost is also amazing! ”
Lei Channel: "If your Excellency speaks like this, then it is better to simply hand over all the goods to the next person for sale."
On the next side, others dare not guarantee it, but there is no problem in selling the goods smoothly. ”
"The Lord of Thunder Island thinks like this, but he doesn't care about the life or death of this official at all?
This business is now getting bigger and bigger, and the forces involved are getting bigger and bigger.
Do you know what happens when these people suddenly lose their income? ”
Liu Hongbo asked with a cold face.
Nowadays, the smuggling business is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more officials are being involved.
These people are now able to get a lot of money from the smuggling business of Song Zhen and others.
If Song Zhen and the others suddenly can't do anything.
As long as they casually say a few words to other officials, they will immediately become the target of public criticism.
At that time, no matter how much benefit Lei Tong and the others can share with themselves, I am afraid that they will not be able to spend their lives.
Lei Tong naturally knows what is at stake.
After such a long period of cooperation, the two sides can be said to know the roots.
The pirates basically have all the evidence of Song Zhen and others colluding with officials from all walks of life.
And Song Zhen and the others also know which islands the pirates usually inhabit and the real lair of these people.
Because of this, even if the pirates wanted to get rid of Song Zhen and the others, it was impossible to go it alone.
No matter how big they make a fuss, the ultimate goal is just to hope that the other party can increase the price of some goods.
Therefore, Lei Tong immediately smiled after seeing Liu Hongbo's face change: "Don't blame Lord Liu, it's all the villain's thoughtlessness."
But the reason why the villain said such angry words was because the brothers' losses were too great.
Adults are also people who know soldiers, and you need to know that the brothers who die in each action need a lot of money to pay for them. ”
After listening to Lei Tong's words, Liu Hongbo spoke: "The difficulties of your island owners are already clear to this official.
Why don't you let the official do the east and arrange for the two sides to meet, and everyone will talk about it once? ”
After listening to Liu Hongbo's words, Lei Tong looked at Qin Cang and the others, and only after seeing that they all nodded, he turned his gaze to Liu Hongbo again.
I only heard him speak: "Then there is Lord Lao..."
Liu Hongbo was discussing the transaction price with a group of pirate leaders
Su Buyi, who came from Tianzhu, had already set off for Chang'an City accompanied by Zhou Chong.
And when the two of them were still discussing whether to do a few more rituals in Yangzhou and other places to increase their momentum
The imperial court's law strictly prohibiting the private alchemy of the people has been issued.
Zhou Chong and Su Buyu looked at the hundreds of pills in their hands, and were speechless for a while.
You must know that this is the main item they are going to take to Chang'an City to bribe those high-ranking officials.
Now that they are still halfway there, half of their plan has been frustrated, which makes the two of them feel that their hearts are also half cold.
In desperation, the two had no choice but to hide the pill in their hands first.
At the same time, the two also hurriedly stopped their trip and discussed with Song Zhen and others through letters how to make follow-up plans.
And during this time, the official documents issued by the Ministry of War to arrest Qin Ying and Wei Lingfu also quickly fell into the hands of the assassins of various states.
It's a pity that Qin Ying and the others at this time have been secretly sent out of the Tang Kingdom by Zhang Xin.
Poor Tang prince Li Chengqian was completely unaware at this time that the person who had killed him had been exiled abroad.
After two months of medical treatment, he finally returned to the prince's mansion before the first day.
However, until now, his right leg has not fully recovered.
If you pay a little attention, you can see that his steps are a little bumpy when he walks.
And even that was the best he could have achieved in the face of great pain.
After graduating from medical school, Li Chengqian soon began to participate in government affairs.
He was also more mature and confident than ever in front of all his ministers.
However, only those who often follow Li Chengqian's side know that Li Chengqian has become extremely suspicious and brutal at this time.
"Ascend, go up to Ben Khan and hack them to death.
If anyone refuses to exert his strength, the Khan will immediately castrate him, give it to me..."
On the school field in the prince's mansion, Li Chengqian's group of subordinates were wearing Huren costumes and fighting to the death with Li Yuanchang's subordinates, who were also wearing them.
Li Chengqian, who was also dressed in the same costume, was riding on a war horse and shouting loudly at his men.
Li Yuanchang, on the other side, did not care about the situation on the battlefield at all.
His eyes were always focused on Li Chengqian's expression.
When he saw that Li Chengqian's expression became more and more hideous, he seemed to have the intention of rushing up and slashing in person.
Li Yuanchang suddenly shouted: "The Khan spares his life, the little king is defeated, and the little king is willing to submit to the feet of the khan forever." ”
Li Chengqian, who was already on the verge of anger, laughed happily immediately after listening to Li Yuanchang's words.
Then he ordered his subordinates to arrest all Li Yuanchang's men, and then ordered people to engrave words on the faces of these prisoners.
