Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 208 Fanbang's Ship
Down the river, all the way is very smooth.

It was already nine days later when we arrived at Nanhai Mansion.

After entering the South China Sea, and driving along the coastline for half a day, I saw a huge sailing ship from a distance, which was indeed much larger than Dagan's.

Seeing his own ship, Benjamin looked excited: "His Royal Highness, that is our ship!"

Li Changfeng nodded: "Yes, I see."

Not only did he see the boat, but he also saw a group of troops stationed on the shore. It was obvious that Emperor Qianwu had passed down the imperial decree early on and had done a good job of protection.

"It seems that the father attaches great importance to sweet potatoes."

Looking at the stationed troops and his undamaged cargo ship, Benjamin looked thoughtful.

Soon, the group arrived near Benjamin's merchant ship.

Because the draft of Dagan's boat was very shallow, he leaned directly over it, and Li Changfeng boarded the boat smoothly.

As soon as he got on board, Benjamin yelled excitedly at the sailors on board.

"Everyone come over to me, this high-ranking prince, please quickly come over and salute, who dares to neglect me and throw him into the sea to feed the fish!"

The sailors were a little surprised, they didn't expect His Royal Highness to come in person, so they hurried over to salute respectfully.

"Oh, Your Royal Highness, it is our honor to meet you!"

Li Changfeng smiled and waved his hands, signaling them to get up.

Benjamin shouted to the first mate John: "Hurry up, fish up our gold, silver and jewelry, and let His Royal Highness see our purchasing power!"

John nodded: "Okay, it will be ready soon!"

With that said, John beckoned the sailors to act.

Benjamin asked Li Changfeng to sit down on a chair.

"Oh, Your Royal Highness, you will be able to see our ability to pay right away. I think this will be a very pleasant cooperation."

Li Changfeng smiled slightly: "My prince has no doubts about this."

At this moment, a boat quickly rowed over, on which stood a burly general wearing heavy armor and holding a long knife, full of beard and beard.

"Is His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince on board?!"

Li Changfeng got up and took a look, nodded and said, "That's right!"

The general saluted on the boat: "At the end of the day, Zhou Jianbo, pay your respects to Your Highness, and come here to obey your orders!"

"Return to the camp and stand by."

"The last will obey!"

Zhou Jianbo didn't board the boat, he saluted respectfully, and led his people back to the shore.

Benjamin had been secretly observing the general, and seeing that his expression was respectful and not fake, his eyes could not help but light up, and he secretly marveled at Li Changfeng's authority.

After a while, nine adult cows with big bellies and large boxes covered with iron sheets were salvaged. Benjamin strode forward, took the keys from the first mate and opened them one by one.

"His Royal Highness, please look!"

Benjamin made a gesture of please, Li Changfeng got up and went to check, his eyes lit up immediately.

Each huge chest was filled with gold nuggets, gold and silver vessels, and precious stones of various colors, all of the highest quality.

He even saw a few walnut-sized diamonds, which shone seductively under the sunlight.

Li Changfeng smiled.

"Yes, my prince is very assured of your ability to pay."

He secretly made up his mind that after returning to Beijing this time, he must persuade Emperor Qianwu to end the sea ban policy and engage in transnational trade.

There are so many good things in Dagan, it makes no sense not to make money.

Benjamin laughed loudly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will be your best partner!"

As he spoke, Benjamin pointed to one of the boxes and shouted to the sailor, "Move this box to His Royal Highness's ship."

Li Changfeng was a little surprised: "What does this mean?"

Benjamin bowed to Li Changfeng, with a grateful expression on his face: "His Royal Highness, if it weren't for you, we might have all frozen to death in the capital. You gave us gold and arranged the best accommodation to eat." Serving the best food, this is our reward for you!"

Li Changfeng chuckled: "How dare you?"

Benjamin said seriously: "This is what it should be, we hope to gain your friendship!"

As an adventurer who walks on the edge of life and death and dares to cross the ocean to do transnational trade, Benjamin knows how to assess the situation and is extremely intelligent.

Li Changfeng saved him, but it was not enough for him to pay so much money in return.

The deep-seated reason is that he saw Li Changfeng's property was amazing in the capital, and now he saw how respectful the immediate garrison was to him thousands of miles away.

This made him realize Li Changfeng's great influence in Daqian.

He needs an umbrella in Dagan.

Li Changfeng is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

This time he only has one cargo ship left, and next time he will definitely bring more. The amount of cargo needed will be even more astonishing, and it will take a long time to dock at the dock.

It won't work without someone with a strong background to provide protection.

Another point is that he hopes to obtain the exclusive trade right of Dagan, because no one knows whether there will be other caravans coming to Dagan.

However, it's not time to mention this right now, let's establish a friendship first, and bring it up next time we come.

Li Changfeng probably also guessed Benjamin's intentions, and said with a gentle smile: "Of course, you have already obtained the friendship of the prince."

Then he reciprocated and ordered the people behind him: "Bring over ten barrels of beer, as well as meat and vegetables, so that my prince's friends can eat enough."

These supplies are not worth much money, and Li Changfeng doesn't care at all.

Benjamin was overjoyed and kept saying words of gratitude.

Soon, the supplies were moved over, and the sailors cheered again.

Li Changfeng was thinking about sweet potatoes, so he asked Benjamin to move them out.

Seeing that the sweet potatoes were not damaged by freezing or submerged by sea water, Li Changfeng was in a good mood, so he sent someone to transport them back to the cabin and put them away carefully.

Then Li Changfeng said that he would disembark to arrange repairs, and with Benjamin's gratitude, he left the cargo ship and landed.

General Zhou Jianbo had been waiting on the shore for a long time, and when he saw Li Changfeng coming ashore, he hurriedly came to pay his respects again.

"At the end of the day, General Zhou Jianbo pays his respects to His Highness!"

This time, Li Changfeng personally stepped forward to help Zhou Jianbo up, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, General, please get up quickly."

As he spoke, he waved his hands to the crowd behind him: "Come here, bring the wine and meat up, and reward the soldiers!"

Seeing Benjamin's cargo ship run aground, Li Changfeng had the idea of ​​building a large wharf, and planned to build a fleet of his own.

He even wants to build a shipyard to build bigger and stronger cargo ships and warships.

A coward like Zhou Jianbo will be useful in a lot of places in the future, and he must establish a good relationship.

It is not the best to use authority to coerce, and the relationship bound by interests is the most durable and stable.

Li Changfeng has always been very generous in spending money in this regard.

Zhou Jianbo was overjoyed and thanked him a thousand times.
