The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

After a while, Li Yuanqing saw Niu Gensheng, who had been "long lost.".

Niu Gensheng quickly knelt down in front of Li Yuanqing. Tears welled up in his eyes: "I have seen a general in my humble position."

Li genqing was busy patting his shoulder. How are these days? Is everything going well? "

Niu Gensheng said with a smile: "general, things are going well. After that day's success, we set sail the next night, with some white sailors leading the way, and the journey was smooth. Your journey is about one day later than general. Now, Sansheng is taking his fleet to rest in a small bay more than ten miles away. "

Said, Niu Gensheng respectfully handed a list to Li Yuanqing: "general, this is the harvest of this time!"

Li Yuanqing nodded and glanced at the corner of his mouth with a smile that could not be said.

Valen dagama, I'm afraid that he wants to hang himself now!

Besides these Spanish warships, they are only real gold and silver. In addition to antiques and collections, they are worth at least 200000 Liang silver.

These "old men" are really rich!

It's no wonder that people say, "when the cannon goes off, gold is ten thousand taels."

Compared with this business, the sea trade of laoshizi is simply weak.

"Geng Sheng, hard work! You go back to rest first! We'll talk about it tomorrow if there's something wrong! " Li Yuanqing slapped Niu Gensheng on the shoulder with a smile.

Niu Gensheng was overjoyed and said with a smile, "yes!"

Watching Niu Gensheng leave, Li Yuanqing's mood is also happy.

If you lose something, you will get a good harvest.

We can't generalize everything!

After sorting out his thoughts, Li Yuanqing gathered his thoughts to the Dutch East India Company.

Although they are infamous, it is undeniable that they have gone ahead of Daming in terms of vision, strategy, layout and means.

For example, at this time, Cohen had a very detailed grasp of Li Yuanqing's news, but Li Yuanqing was able to know him only through the accumulation of knowledge of later generations.

For another example, there are many multilingual "brokers" like Ben Coster. There are many East India companies, but for Li Yuanqing's side, Joseph is slightly able to take the lead.

Not to mention warships.

No comparison, I don't know. Only by comparison can we know how much gap there is between the two sides.

Fortunately, although Cohen "ran away", he still had less than five meters behind Li Yuanqing. At this time, Li Yuanqing was in the core position of Brunei. Everyone still had a chance!

After finishing this, Li Yuanqing went back to Waner's room to have a rest, which was also to make up for the mistake he made last night.

Wan'er is in a better mood today. She is very gentle and soft and serves Li Yuanqing with all her heart.

But Li Yuanqing somehow, even if the Wan'er under his body is nearly to the top of the country, but in his mind, he always comes up with Zhang Chunxue's inexplicable and vivid pretty face

Damn it

……

The next morning, the trade between the fleet and Brunei began.

Brunei is a free trade port, relatively speaking, it is freer and more energetic than Manila, Jakarta and Malacca, which are under colonial control.

For example, Manila and Jakarta are big ports, small businesses and small households, so they don't have many opportunities. They don't even have the qualification to buy goods.

But in Brunei, it's not a problem.

The Chinese, the local aborigines, including many white people, were very interested in the goods on Li Yuanqing's ship.

On the whole wharf, there are all kinds of languages, and the voice of bargaining is very lively.

Ben Coster woke up and came to Li Yuanqing with a smile: "Dear General Li, look, your goods are really popular!"

Li Yuanqing looked at him with a smile, "Ben, yesterday, there was something that I always wanted to mention to you, but after thinking about it, I still felt too bold. But, today, I'm mature, so I want to put it directly to you. "

Ben Coster had already understood Li Yuanqing's intention. He was careful that his liver would not jump from "plopping" and said with a quick smile, "Dear general, if you have any instructions, please tell me directly. Your servant Ben, sincerely serve you

Li Yuanqing burst out laughing: "Ben, I think you can become my personal staff and provide me with analysis and intelligence on some matters. As for salary! I can pay you five hundred taels a year

Five hundred taels of silver, even if it is converted into gold coins, it is not a small amount! It's enough for Ben Coster to live a master's life in the Nanyang region. Even if he comes back to Europe, he will definitely be able to mix up with the middle class.

At such a time, a fool would refuse.

He was busy and chuckled: "your servant Ben, your noble general, is willing to sell all his life to you. But -- "He pauses for a moment, but says: "distinguished general, you know, I'm still a part-time job in the Dutch East India Company. I'm afraid that..."

Li Yuanqing laughed: "Ben, my friend, you don't have to worry about it. I won't make it hard for you. I won't let you do what you're in trouble with. It's just a little thing. You need to provide me with analysis and intelligence! "

Ben Coster couldn't help but be overjoyed. He could not help but kiss Li Yuanqing.

After chatting with a smile for a while, Li Yuanqing took the lead in paying Ben Coster 100 liang of "sincerity gold." he said with a smile, "Ben, I'm going to give you your first task."

Ben Coster hastily cocked up his ears. "Dear general, I'm all ears."

Li Yuanqing laughed: "I need more white people like you who are proficient in Chinese, Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese! Yeah! Best of all, they can be a gentleman like you. As long as you can find one for me! I'll provide you with ten Liang silver! No upper limit

Ben Coster was so happy that he said, "Dear general, are you serious?"

Li Yuanqing's face suddenly cold down, "Ben, my friend, don't you believe in my majesty?"

Ben Coster couldn't help nodding his head and laughing: "noble general, I have many friends like this! Wait, I'll write now

Seeing that he was about to leave in a hurry, Li Yuanqing's face was even more smiling, and he called out to his back: "Ben, I will stay in Brunei for half a month. I hope you can help me as soon as possible!"

Niu Gensheng also got up at this time. He quickly came to Li Yuanqing and said in a low voice, "general, are you really going to give this white monkey so much money? If he does find hundreds of them, then we will not lose a lot? "

As Li Yuanqing's personal soldier leader, Niu Gensheng naturally wants to stay with Li Yuanqing all the time.

Although before, he was going out to carry out a very private task, the heavy task on his shoulders, but at this time, even if he was a little tired, he still wanted to stay with Li Yuanqing.

Of course, Li Yuanqing understood Niu Gensheng's mind and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Gensheng! You have to remember a word, long line, to catch big fish! Even if he can find a hundred or a thousand people, then what? But ten thousand taels of silver! You need to remember that with these ten thousand taels of silver, we can't be rich. Without them, we can't be poor! But why not make a good reputation? "

Although Niu Gensheng still does not understand Li Yuanqing's meaning, he nods respectfully and ponders over it.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing.

This model, which is similar to pyramid selling, has not experienced the baptism of the information explosion era. How can Niu Gensheng react to it?

The reason why he wanted to "throw away" silver like this was the result of careful consideration.

If we follow the normal rules and regulations, Li Yuanqing wants to set up his intelligence system in Nanyang. I'm afraid that it will not take ten years or eight years for him to think about it!

Moreover, Chinese in Nanyang are very conspicuous. If they are careless, they will easily become the victims of these white haired monkeys.

To build such an intelligence chain with heavy money is really more than the gain.

There are so many idle white people, loafers, sailors, retired soldiers and officers in the Nanyang area. Nine out of ten of them, these people are not very happy!

Isn't this the cheapest labor force?

It's like pyramid marketing. The belt two, the second generation and the fourth generation will go on without restriction.

They are Li Yuanqing's intelligence system, but they can also serve as Li Yuanqing's "headhunters" to help him find more real craftsmen with real talents and real learning!

As for the money consumed, "income according to work" and "payment by instalments" are not easy to capture for Li Yuanqing?

However, although there are many merchants in Brunei, because most of them have limited ability, they can only eat Li Yuanqing's goods.

After a busy day, Guan Canghai came to report to Li Yuanqing in the evening. All day today, the number of transactions reached nearly 2000 times, but the trading amount was only about 150000 Liang.

According to preliminary estimation, the gross profit of changshengying fleet is between 70000 and 80000 Liang.

"General, Brunei is still too small! I'm afraid it's very difficult for us to gain something here! If we want to make a lot of money, we must go to the Persian Gulf as planned. I heard that some countries in the Indian Ocean are rich in all kinds of precious stones. If these treasures are transported back to Daming, some people will like them. "

Guan Canghai smiles at Li Yuanqing.

At this time, from the sea to now, the fleet basically only ships goods, but does not purchase goods. The whole fleet, with nearly 20000 people, eats, drinks and lazars every day, without any production of its own. It is not a small number!

Li Yuanqing smiles: "what? Can't bear it? "

Guan Canghai couldn't help but smile: "general, it's not that you can't bear it, it's just Oh! How to put it? If we continue to develop in this way, I always feel that I have no confidence in my heart! "Li Yuanqing smiles and takes out a list from his pocket and hands it to Guan Canghai.

Guan Canghai then glanced at him and was stunned at the spot. For a moment, he looked at Li Yuanqing and said, "general, this, this, this is..."

"Ha ha. This is the fat that was fished from Warren dagama before. Look at the sea carefully, isn't it good? "

“……”

Guan Canghai is speechless!

This, this is not only good!

It's a lot of money!

Let's not talk about the silver. These Spanish warships are all new ships that have not been launched for three or two years. They are worth more than 100000 taels of silver!

"General, this..."

Li Yuanqing slapped Guan Canghai on the shoulder with a smile: "so, Canghai, everything, we should consider from many angles! People! How can you suffocate your urine? In this period of time, in addition to trade, you also pay more attention to some, there are no powerful pirates around here! These pirates are all treasures

Guan Canghai also understood Li Yuanqing's meaning in an instant, and said with great joy: "general, wonderful, wonderful! If we can find some of these pirate dens, we can not only train our troops, but also Hey, hey... "
