I am the carpenter king

The sky was low and dark, and it seemed that it was going to rain!The waves crashed on the rocks, making a deafening roar.The sea breeze is also getting stronger and stronger, and the salty taste inside is getting stronger and stronger.

Standing alone on the reef, he let the sea breeze blow him, and his cyan long gown was rattled by the sea breeze.The sea water splashed by the waves fell on this person from time to time, but he didn't seem to notice it.Looking into the distance, his eyes are low and far-reaching, and his whole body exudes a fierce air.His right hand slowly grasped the saber at his waist, as if he was ready to attack at any time.

"One official, one official!" The voice sounded from a distance, and a person ran over quickly, heading straight for the person standing on the reef.

This person was none other than Zheng Yiguan who came to Taiwan. He glanced back at Cheng Yu who was running towards him, and could only shake his head with a wry smile.Slowly let go of the hand holding the knife, quietly waiting for Cheng Yu to run over.

"Yiguan, you go back quickly! Some people came from the head of the house, and they seem to be looking for you!" Cheng Yu didn't feel that he had disturbed Zheng Yiguan at all, and said with a bit of urgency on his face.

He frowned slightly, looking for his own?Who knew he was here?What are you talking about to yourself?Glancing at the panting Cheng Yu, Zheng Yiguan asked in a deep voice, "Do you know who it is? What are they looking for me for?"

"I don't know what to do, but there are Dutch people among them. It seems that there is something important to discuss." Cheng Yu shook his head.

Slowly nodded, it turned out to be Dutch!Zheng Yiguan had a somewhat sneer on his face, these people were all unfamiliar wolf cubs.You have to be careful when dealing with them!But Zheng Yiguan also knew in his heart that he didn't have the capital to turn against the Dutch for the time being.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yiguan sorted out his mood.Turning around and taking a look at Cheng Yu, he said, "Let's go! Let's go and see, where are they?"

"At the boss's place, all the brothers are waiting for you!" Cheng Yu came to invite Zheng Yiguan, and he would not ask about other matters.Cheng Yu is a rough person, the reason why he was able to get the favor of Zheng Yiguan.It is because he knows how to advance and retreat.

Cheng Yu knows better than some smart people what he should ask, what he should not ask, what he can do and what he cannot do.

When Zheng Yiguan walked to the door of the living room, he heard loud laughter coming from inside, and his face changed suddenly.This person's voice made him feel very familiar, but even though it was familiar, Zheng Yiguan felt very uncomfortable.It was as if this person's voice was inherently annoying to him, annoying him from the bottom of his heart.

But it's all here.Of course he won't go in!But after walking in, Zheng Yiguan didn't look sideways, walked up to Yan Siqi's lower head without looking aside, and said: "Brother, you are looking for me!"

"An official! You're here! You're all acquaintances here, come and meet me!" Yan Siqi had a smile on his face, although nothing changed.But there was still satisfaction in his tone.Yan Siqi has always attached great importance to Zheng Yiguan.Not only is his force extraordinary, but he also has a good strategy. Most importantly, he has always respected himself.

"Yes, brother!" After showing Yan Siqi enough respect, Zheng Yiguan turned around and glanced at the two people sitting.He really knows them all.

At the top was a Dutchman in leather boots, tight trousers, and a wide belt.The most eye-catching thing is the two short guns on the waist, which are placed in the wallet.With a beard on his face, he was looking Zheng Yiguan up and down.This person is Zheng Yiguan's old boss when he was in the Netherlands, Brian, the deputy commander of the Penghu Fleet of the Dutch East India Company!

Sitting next to Brann was a Chinese man in his 40s.The figure is very thin, but a pair of eyes are very bright.The whole person sat there, exuding a sense of shrewdness!Zheng Yiguan is no stranger to this person, because this is Xu Xinsu, the brother-in-law of his foster father Li Dan!

This Xu Xinsu is not simple, it is more appropriate to say that he and Li Dan are business partners rather than brothers.This person is very powerful in the mainland, and he has to give face to both officials and businessmen.As Li Dan was the biggest smuggler from the mainland to Japan, all his sources of goods were raised with the help of Xu Xinsu.

Although Fang Shihong also engaged in smuggling business, almost all of them were through this Xu Xinsu. This person has great energy.

After the Dutch invaded and occupied Penghu in the second year of the Apocalypse, Xu Xinsu became a hostage for the local government to force Li Dan to lure the Dutch to Taiwan because of his relationship with Li Dan, and was detained.This experience became an opportunity for Xu Xinsu to establish a relationship with the Dutch. Xu Xinsu used his identity as a trader to Taiwan to gradually gain the trust of the Dutch and became a representative of the trade with the Netherlands.

The Dutch urgently needed to trade with Daming in order to obtain raw silk and other items urgently needed by the Japanese airlines and the head office. Xu Xinsu had received prepaid purchase funds from the Dutch many times, amounting to tens of thousands of taels.These funds not only show the trust of the Dutch in Xu Xinsu, but also show the scale of Xu Xinsu's business and its position in the Taiwan Strait trade at that time.

Xu Xinsu did not disappoint the Dutch either. He actively used his business network in the mainland. He once shipped 250 tons of raw silk to the Dutch at one time after receiving the advance payment from the Dutch.

250 tans of raw silk doesn't sound like a lot, but if you convert it, it's nearly fourteen tons!This is just a trade product, which shows how powerful Xu Xinsu is.

Regarding these matters, Zheng Yiguan was very clear in his heart, and he had always kept Xu Xinsu at a respectful distance.Although Li Dan and Li Dan are sworn brothers, their personalities are different.Li Dan, who was born as a pirate, is full of pride and loyalty.This is why Zheng Yiguan is willing to worship under Li Dan's sect and is willing to work hard for him.Of course, it is inevitable that Li Dan can give him a good future.

But Xu Xinsu is a businessman, an out-and-out businessman!In his opinion, there is no business that cannot be done, as long as the price is right, he can do anything!In his eyes, apart from interests, there is nothing else.Zheng Yiguan didn't want to be scammed once, so he was always on guard against Xu Xinsu.

"It turned out to be Commander Brian. I didn't expect you to come here. It's really surprising!" Zheng Yiguan said with a smile on his face, cupped his hands at Brian, and said happily.

"Nicolas, it's really been a long time! I thought you would go back to Penghu, but I didn't expect you to come here. I still want to go to Penghu when I have time. Commander Waite misses you very much!" Bryan In fact, he doesn't like Zheng Yiguan, but Waite repeatedly confessed that this Zheng Yiguan is a very special person, and he has to cheer up.

Xu Xinsu smiled and turned his eyes to the side, Zheng Yiguan cupped his hands and said: "Commander Bryan is being polite, I really didn't expect Uncle Xu to accompany Commander Brian, I wonder how Uncle Xu is doing today?"

"Okay, okay! Yiguan has a heart." Xu Xinsu looked at Zheng Yiguan with a smile, the expression on his face seemed to be very relieved, and the tone of his speech was also very friendly.

After sitting down, Zheng Yiguan smiled and said to Yan Siqi: "Brother, I don't know what's going on with General Brian? Have you talked about it?"

Seeing that Zheng Yiguan put himself first in everything, Yan Siqi was happy, and said with a smile: "Not yet, we want to wait for you to come and talk about it together. After all, you and General Bryan get to know each other well, we need to discuss it!"

Yan Siqi has no suspicions about Zheng Yiguan, this is telling Zheng Yiguan that these people must have malicious intentions.You and both of them are very familiar, you should be more careful.

Zheng Yiguan could understand it, nodded to Yan Siqi with a smile on his face, and said, "Don't worry, brother, Yiguan understands!" Then he turned his gaze to Brian, and said, "Commander Brian, I don't know you Is there anything going on this time? We are old acquaintances, there is no need to hide it, just speak up if you have anything to say!"

Xu Xinsu on the side was taken aback for a moment, and then narrowed his eyes, but Brian laughed, this way of doing things suits his taste.He laughed and said: "Nicolas, you are straightforward! Then I will say it directly. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is really unhappy and does not allow us to do business. We had a talk with the new governor of Fujian a few days ago. But it didn't work out."

There was a sneer in his heart, Zheng Yiguan was very disdainful, it's strange that you can talk about it!Don't even look at who those people are, will they listen to you?But with a curious expression on his face, he said, "Then Commander Bryan, what are you going to do?"

"The governor of Fujian said that Penghu is the territory of their Ming Dynasty. Let us withdraw! Otherwise, they will send troops to attack Penghu. Their attitude is very firm! At the same time, the governor of the Ming Dynasty also said that Taiwan is not the territory of the Ming Dynasty. We can Retire to Taiwan. Xu Xinsu is working as a peacemaker, and he can talk to the governor of Fujian." After Brian said this, he closed his mouth, seemed very depressed, and sat there sullen.

Yan Siqi's expression on the side suddenly became very ugly. How could he let the Dutch come in when he just stood in Taiwan?With the temperament of the Dutch, this place must be taken away!I am not willing to let go, the court is really ruthless.

This time Yan Siqi was wrong, the governor of Fujian did not have the idea of ​​wolfing down tigers.They just want to drive the Dutch out of Ming's territory!Sending troops to attack Penghu, the Ming navy was really helpless.Only then did they come up with such a method, as long as the Dutch were brought to Taiwan, it would not be the territory of Ming Dynasty!

Xu Xinsu is not so much a representative of Fujian local officials as he was forced to come here!Of course, he is also inextricably linked with the magistrate, which is not enough for outsiders! (To be continued..)
