Volume 4: Island Rivalry Chapter 151, Growing Wings
The sudden huge wealth made Yi Xuan cheer, and he almost forgot to take care of the corpse of the Jinyang Iron Bat. When he remembered this, Yi Xuan hurriedly drove Weng Yanghui to guard outside the cave, and he extracted the soul fire of the Jinyang Iron Bat to practice it into a spirit, and then looked for the location of its spirit bones. At this point, Yi Xuan's natal spirit talisman lacked a single wood system, and the preparation for building a foundation and crossing the tribulation was pushed one step further.
Suppressing their excitement, the two returned to the ground and sealed the entrance to the cave with a boulder, while restoring the surrounding weeds and walking to the other side of the hill to discuss carefully.
"Old Black, how many people know about the cave here before?"
"Your Lord, there should have been a lot of people who knew about it at that time, but it's been a long time, and everyone shouldn't be too worried about it!"
"In that case, this matter will be left to you to handle! Organize all the people on the island into an independent group, and you will be the steward, and use the medium-sized cargo ships docked at the dock to disguise themselves as a caravan of Zhenyang groceries, trade back and forth on several nearby islands, and replenish the islands during the period, and bring back some ore each time. ”
"Thank you Lord for your trust, my subordinates swear to complete the task to the death, and never let a single ore be left behind by others!"
"Lao Hei, don't be too restrained! This is just a money-making business, it's best to make a fortune, even if the news leaks, it's just a little less spirit stone, it's not as important as your brother's life, don't lose a big one because of a small one!"
After the discussion, the two pretended to be nothing and returned to the camp, put Tie Mian and Hu Xi'er in shackles, Yi Xuan asked Weng Yanghui to take a boat with his subordinates, and he took Nie Yongwang to take a purple jade flying boat back to Shanxi Island quickly.
A day later, when he returned to Zhenyang for groceries, Yi Xuan called the three of them in Mapo to discuss the matter of the ore vein.
After listening to this, Mapo hesitated: "Is the old black character? This thing is not trivial, I sound a little ape-like, the old black is a bandit, Xiao Yi, you have incorporated all the pirates into his subordinates, this matter is a little inappropriate!"
Yi Xuan smiled slightly when he heard this: "Lao Hei is definitely worth entrusting, Mapo Big Brother and Lao Nie, please treat everyone equally, don't look down on Lao Hei because of his background! Besides, Lao Hei is familiar with the nearby sea routes, and he is the best person to carry out this matter, as long as we sincerely treat him as brothers, I don't believe he will do anything that is worthy of me!"
Mapo nodded slowly and said: "As long as Xiao Yi thinks about it clearly, I will take you as the leader, since you have already finalized this matter, Lao Ma will definitely have no other ideas, and will definitely give it his full support! But since you want to set up a caravan, why pretend, it is better to start trading between the islands with a real thing." I'm not boasting, the prices of spiritual objects in the nearby sea are all clear, as long as Lao Hei and they buy and sell according to my plan, they can also generate good profits!"
As soon as Nie Yongwang heard about this business matter, his head was as big as a fight, and he said impatiently: "Captain, since Lao Ma is confident, it is better to let him assist Lao Hei, the two of them will work together to make money, I will accompany you to hunt sea beasts, as long as the wine is enough, Lao Nie, I have nothing to say, haha!"
A few days later, Weng Yanghui led his subordinates back to Shanxi Island Wharf by boat, Yi Xuan had already handled everyone's identity documents through Jiang Mingzhi, and also completed the merchant ship procedures in the name of the Qin family's shop. After the bandit leaders Tie Mian and Hu Xi'er were imprisoned, they began to prepare for the first sea trade of merchant ships.
On the day of sailing, Mapo held its first sailing ceremony on the pier in accordance with the custom of the fleet, and the firecrackers rang out in unison, attracting many people from the island to watch, and the name of Jinyang groceries became more and more famous.
After Weng Yanghui led the merchant ships to gradually move away, the chief butler Zuo Qiuzi appeared on the island owner's mansion.
"Lord of the island, Yi Xuan pretended to use the tiger skin of the Qin family's business name, and constantly formed gangs on the island, first opened a shop, and now there is a merchant ship, and its wings are gradually growing, my lord, are you not afraid of raising tigers?" As soon as Zuo Qiuzi came up, he showed his interests to Huaiyuan Zhenren.
Huaiyuan Zhenren squinted his eyes and the old god said: "What's the trouble? Yi Xuan, it's a good thing that he befriends the son of the Qin family and prosper the business of my mountain and Xidao! Besides, as long as he doesn't build a foundation for a day, it has nothing to do with me!"
Zuo Qiuzi saw that Huaiyuan Zhenren was indifferent, so he exaggerated: "I think that Yi Xuan is quite ambitious, not like a person who is willing to live under the people, once he succeeds in advancing and colludes with the Qin family, he may not dare to plot the position of the owner of this island!
Huaiyuan Zhenren's eyes opened suddenly: "Oh?
"This matter is true, I have a reliable tip, it is the shopkeeper of the Zhenyang groceries who accompanied him to go with him, it is said that Master Liang of Yi Quandao is also very optimistic about this kid, and he wants to accept him as an apprentice in public, it can be seen that this son is quite demagogic!"
"In this way, this Yi Xuan really has a lot of plans!"
"Island owner, the old man has a plan, I don't know if to talk about it?"
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"
"Yi Xuan has repeatedly captured pirates, and he has accepted many pirates as his subordinates, and his merchant ship steward is the former leader of the pirates! In my opinion, as long as he can persuade a few pirates to confess and identify him as colluding with pirates, the name of befriending pirates is not so easy to get rid of, and with the reputation of the Qin family, he will not dare to shield him! In this way, a major trouble will be eliminated!"
"Originally, this Yi Xuan, the old man was very optimistic about him, and he didn't want to make friends with pirates!
"Old man understands, let's do it!" Zuo Qiuzi saw that the island owner had acquiesced, turned around and retreated, and began to plan a conspiracy against Yi Xuan.
Within a few days, a piece of news circulated in Shanxi Island: the actual behind-the-scenes boss of the newly opened Zhenyang groceries on the dock was actually a bandit, and many clerks were themselves bandits. Jichuan, as well as Weng Yanghui's name, for a while many monks were kept in the dark, and many residents who had been looted by bandits also ran to the door of the store to point at Sang and scold Huai, so that the customers who were originally going to enter the store took a detour.
Mapo was a little breathless, and couldn't help complaining to Yi Xuan: "I'll just say it! Lao Hei and a few of them have special identities, once they are known, they will definitely cause an uproar, now it's okay, there is no return! I look at this mountain and island, we can't stay, it's better to make plans early!"
Yi Xuan was also helpless by this sudden blow: "Brother Mapo, I thought that as long as Lao Hei and them changed their ways, no one would use their identities to make a big fuss! I think someone must be making trouble behind their backs!"
