Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 151 I think we can have a good talk

"I'm curious, what are you doing in Dongjiang Town, a guard in Xuan Town? Could it be that you are just here for my ferry in Dongjiang Town?" Mao Wenlong looked at Zhao Wen and asked with a puzzled expression on his face.

This Phi Island is no more than a palm-sized place, and it can't support many people.If he hadn't recruited many merchants by himself, it is estimated that there would be no one in Dukou except himself.

Zhao Wen smiled slightly, and said, "Do you know Zheng Zhilong, the Fujian general?"

"Zheng Zhilong? Is that the one who was a pirate before and was recruited by the court?" Mao Wenlong asked slowly.

Zheng Zhilong's reputation in Daming is not small, how could Mao Wenlong not know about it.

"Do you know what people in the sea called Zheng Zhilong before he was recruited by the court?" Zhao Wenjiong looked at Mao Wenlong with enthusiasm.

Mao Wenlong chuckled, and said, "Emperor Hai, how come I don't know this name? But I have to say, this guy can beat the red-haired barbarians so hard that he doesn't dare to invade my Daming, so he can be considered a hero.

How can this guy say, he, relying on his own navy, has been in control of Daming's sea frontier.Those who lived on the sea had to pay him a toll, otherwise, they would not even be able to leave the boat.

I don't like Zheng Zhilong's other abilities, but his ability to make money is not bad. "

"I want to be the Emperor of the Sea of ​​Ming Dynasty!" Zhao Wen looked at Mao Wenlong, his eyes were shining brightly.

Mao Wenlong was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing, "What? What did you say? You said you wanted to be the emperor of Ming Dynasty? Are you kidding me? Hahaha!"

Not only Mao Wenlong, but even Mao Chengzuo and those personal guards burst out laughing.

The laughing Mao Wenlong burst into tears.

Zhao Wen picked up the teacup on the table and tasted it by himself.

"General Mao doesn't believe me?" Zhao Wen said slowly, putting down his teacup.

Mao Wenlong put away his smile and said with a playful look: "I really don't believe you. Why do you say you are the emperor of the sea? Do you have a ship? Do you have sailors? Do you have a route? Do you have money?
Brother, listen to me, this sea is not for you to touch.Even the imperial court has to give Zheng Zhilong three points in the sea, let alone you? "

"I have plenty of money. Have you ever heard of cement?"

"Cement? I've heard that I wanted to get some cement, but I didn't buy it because I was short of money. Why did you tell me this?" Mao Wenlong looked at Zhao Wen with a puzzled expression.

Zhao Wen said: "This cement is my industry, and now I have opened hundreds of cement kilns in Xuanfu Town, the money is not difficult.

I believe that as long as there is money, there is nothing that cannot be obtained! "

"Cement is actually your industry? Isn't it from Shanxi Merchants?" Mao Wenlong looked at Zhao Wen in horror.

Nowadays, cement is something that everyone knows in Daming. It is easier to use than Sanhe soil, and it is cheaper than Sanhe soil, and it can also reduce the construction period when building the city wall.

Such good things are very popular in Daming, especially in Shanhaiguan. Yuan Chonghuan bought a lot of cement to repair the city wall.

If this cement is really his property, isn't the man in front of him extremely rich?No wonder he dared to say such a thing, not to mention other things, just this amount of financial resources is unmatched by many people.

Zhao Wen said with a smile: "Shanxi merchants are just tools I use to sell cement, nothing more."

"But, you have such a cornucopia, why do you want to go to sea? Although the money at sea is easy to make, it is not very stable. Especially in Luzon, there are a lot of Hongyi and Flangjiyi. These People are greedy for money, so it's hard to guarantee that they won't do anything."

Mao Wenlong couldn't understand, Zhao Wen was so rich, why did he go to sea?To be the emperor of the sea?Isn't it good to just lie at home and take care of the cement kiln?Why not run out?

"You don't have to worry about it. I have my own considerations when I go to sea. Well, if you can give me the ferry, I can give you a part of the shares, and you will also have a share of the profits at sea in the future."

It is inevitable that a person who gets rich will not make others jealous, and this Mao Wenlong is no better than others, this person is the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town.Although his soldiers and horses are not very good, they can fight anyway, and the ferry is in his territory.

If Zhao Wen compulsorily wants to come to the ferry of Phi Island, even if it goes well in the future, it is difficult to guarantee that Mao Wenlong will not be jealous and do some small tricks behind his back.

But if Mao Wenlong was tied to the boat, things would be much easier in the future.

"Shares? What are shares?" Mao Wenlong is good at fighting, but if he puts them in other places, he will be blinded.

Zhao Wen looked at Mao Wenlong who was full of doubts, and explained carefully.

After a long while, Mao Wenlong suddenly realized: "Isn't this the dividend of a partnership business? What do I take it for? But are you so sure that you can make money at sea?

What's more, what should I do if you turn your face and deny anyone after you get the ferry? "

Mao Wenlong's worries are not unreasonable. In this day and age, there are not a few people who turn their faces and deny others.

Among other things, isn't Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, like this?
One moment he was chatting and laughing with you, the next moment he can sue you in a book.

"A contract can be made!" Zhao Wen said loudly.

Mao Wenlong felt relieved when he heard the contract was made, but he didn't want to give him the ferry so easily.

"It's not impossible to give up the ferry to you, but I still have one condition." Mao Wenlong squeezed the beard on his chin, looked at the 56 and a half in the hands of the followers behind Zhao Wen, and said slowly.

"What conditions?"

Mao Wenlong pointed to the 56 and a half in Zhao Daniu's hand, and said, "I want the firecracker in your hand, at least give me five hundred."

As long as he has this firecracker that can fire in bursts, wouldn't it be more comfortable for him to lead troops to harass the Houjin hinterland in the future?

If there are [-] firearms that can fire continuously, then I can walk sideways in Liaodong in the future.What Huang Taiji, what Amin, what Daishan, what Yuan Chonghuan, what Zu Dashou, they all have to go around this town when they see it.

"Five hundred shots? You really dare to open your mouth like a lion!" Zhao Daniu glared at Mao Wenlong and roared with no difficulty.

Zhao Wen couldn't help shaking his head, and said slowly: "Five hundred rods? Do you know what you're talking about? Every shot of this firecracker is a treasure, how can I give it back to you? You can talk about money, just this firecracker no."

"I want a firecracker!"

"no!"

"Four hundred rods."

"no!"

"A hundred shots should do it, right?"

"No, at most fifty shots." Zhao Wen stretched out five fingers and shouted loudly.

The reason why Zhao Wen gave Mao Wenlong fifty guns was not because there were too many weapons to burn.It's that Mao Wenlong is the general soldier of Dongjiang Town, and he wants to establish an outlet on his territory.

Once this estuary is established, it will definitely make a fortune in the future.In case someone covets it, these fifty firecrackers can also protect their exit to the sea.

In addition, Mao Wenlong often went to Houjin hinterland to harass, if there were 56 and a half by then, the success rate would be much higher, and more refugees would be brought back.

The increase in refugees is exactly what Zhao Wen hopes to see.

Of course, it's nothing to give 56 and a half to Mao Wenlong. After all, 56 and a half is not like other firecrackers, only black powder and lead are needed.

The bullets used by these 56 and a half were only Zhao Wenyou.If 56 and a half has no bullets, it might as well be a fire stick.

Therefore, as long as the bullet is controlled, it is equivalent to indirectly controlling Mao Wenlong's soldiers.In this way, Zhao Wen's fifty-six-and-a-half strokes are still in his own hands.

A seaport in exchange for 56 and a half under his control, this business is profitable no matter how you look at it.

Mao Wenlong's face was full of smiles. He slapped the table and said loudly, "Deal!"

Fifty shots is not bad for Mao Wenlong. Judging from the shooting performance just now, each shot of this kind of firecracker can be worth five or six shots or even more of ordinary firecrackers.

And these fifty strokes are almost equivalent to more than 300 strokes of ordinary firecrackers.

But in actual use, more than 300 ordinary firecrackers are simply not comparable to these fifty firecrackers.

Zhao Wen looked at the smug Mao Wenlong, and said in a deep voice, "Do you know what these fifty firecrackers mean? Do you know how far this kind of firecrackers can hit?
Let me tell you directly, this firecracker can hit a maximum of more than 1000 steps, and within [-] steps, even armored soldiers in heavy armor can't stop it.

I can give you fifty guns because of your ferry. If it weren't for your ferry, I wouldn't have given you fifty guns. "

When Mao Wenlong heard this, his face was full of horror, "Aren't you lying to me? This firecracker can hit more than 1000 steps?"

"That's right, you have to pay attention to the bottom line when you deceive people, you are no one to brag. If you can hit a thousand steps, why don't you say you can hit [-] steps? You can hit Shengjing directly from here Where are you going? A thousand steps, you are farther than the cannon in red." Mao Chengzuo looked at Zhao Wen in disbelief.

Zhao Wendao: "Hehe, don't you believe it? You can see it later."

Mao Wenlong looked at Zhao Wen who was swearing, and couldn't help thinking: If this firecracker is really as powerful as he said, wouldn't it be the same as what Jin Baqi said later that "the eight banners are less than ten thousand, and ten thousand are invincible"? A nonsense?
At that time, no matter whether you are an infantry soldier or a Majia soldier, no matter whether you are a yellow flag or a yellow flag, you will not be able to run away with one gun and one hole.

At this moment, the shopkeeper led a few guys up with food boxes.

The table where Zhao Wen had just eaten was cleared away by the shopkeeper and filled with food again.

As the saying goes, wine is the lubricant that increases the friendship between people. After both of them drank a lot of wine, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Mao Wenlong raised his head, took a big gulp of wine, his face was flushed, he put his arms around Zhao Wen's neck, and said carelessly: "Let me tell you, although my Dongjiang town is poor, it is far away from the land, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. It is basically difficult for the imperial court to control this.

Every day on this island, I am free and easy, and when I have nothing to do, I go to North Korea and let those cheap bones dig Korean ginseng for us.

Let me tell you, these North Koreans are cheap, they always like to brag, do you know what those North Korean literati say?They said that Kong Shengren was a Korean, haha, do you think it's funny? "

Zhao Wen shook his hand while holding the wine glass, and the wine in it spilled out directly. Unexpectedly, there is a source of this Korean stick's love of bragging.At first, I thought that only later generations like to brag, but I didn't expect that the current Goryeo Bangzi also likes to brag.

"There's more, it's not just that. They also said that our great ancestor, Emperor Gao, is a Korean. Do you think it's funny?"

When Zhao Wen heard this, he immediately laughed, "Why are they so courageous? Why do they say that?"

"Hey, why do you say that? Let me tell you. During the Hongwu period, there was an official in North Korea. He had the same name and taboo as our Taizu Emperor Gao, and his age was about the same. After a long time, they will They confuse the two, insisting that our Taizu Emperor Gao is a Korean. Hey, do you think these people are funny or not?

Also, they also said that their ancestors were Goguryeo.It's the Goguryeo that was beaten out of shit by Datang.They also said that Goguryeo had fought to Chang'an and captured Tang Taizong alive.Grandma, and captured Tang Taizong alive, hahaha!
This is the funniest joke I have ever heard in my life. I have never heard such a funny joke in my life.This North Korean is really interesting. "
