Datang: In order to be a salted fish, I decided to look forward to my father Jackie Chan

Chapter 129 Meeting Changle
The little pirate was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the official asked the question, it was so strange, He Guan looked at the little pirate without answering for a long time, stepped forward and kicked, "My lord asked you something, answer it quickly, is it possible to return it?" Want to hide it?"

"Yes, sir, I am very familiar with sea routes! I have followed three pirate groups, from the coast of Wa Kingdom, to the coast of Goguryeo, and to Datang, so I am very familiar with sea routes!"

Damn, he's young and has a lot of qualifications!

Li Xiao had no expression on his face, and said loudly, "My Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette. As an official of the imperial court, I insist on the supremacy of the law!"

"You used to be pirates, you should be executed according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty!"

"But I know that many of you are forced to make ends meet, so I will let you go to labor reform. As long as you perform well, I will allow you to be naturalized according to the situation and officially become dock craftsmen!"

After Li Xiao finished speaking, an impatient pirate asked, "What is reform through labor, my lord?"

Li Xiaoxin pointed at Cheng Yaojin and said loudly, "Just follow this general to work!"

The pirates are excited, they can become citizens of Datang by working hard?
You must know that pirates like yourself, if caught by the government, will either be beheaded or sold as servants. They will be slaves for life and death, and the master can kill and sell them at will!

Unexpectedly, there is such a good thing today?

"Thank you sir!"

"Thank you, my lord, the villain must be obedient and work hard!"

"The villain must behave well!"

Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and signaled his men to take nearly two hundred pirates to Yantian, Banqiao Town!
Li Xiao didn't forget to remind them, "Soak them in lime water well, don't get any fleas and the like, and the beggar's clothes they wear, after taking them off, burn them all together!"

The voices of thanks from the pirates became more intensive, and they all thanked their ancestors for their blessings!
When the soldiers under him walked away, Cheng Yaojin asked in a low voice beside Li Xiao, "Master Zan, what are you doing? If you perform well, you will be released and naturalized? You have to intervene in the affairs of the county government?"

"I'm going to use them to death! They are pirates who have done a lot of evil, what is there to be pitiful about?"

"Don't, don't, don't!" Li Xiao waved his hand, "Uncle Cheng, please don't play people to death!"

"It's still useful for them to keep!"

"If you perform well, you can be recruited into the crew of our seagoing ship in the future, especially the little pirate just now, who is familiar with sea routes, he is simply a talent!"

"It's something you can't ask for!"

Cheng Yaojin nodded disdainfully, "Since it is so important, why send it to Yantian?"

"Hey, how can you use it directly if you don't practice it, don't study it?"

Li Xiao looked around and said with a wicked smile.

"Hey, the government recruited a pirate and still inspected it? Tell him directly, can he swear allegiance to the death without crying?"

"Prudence is the top priority, prudence is the top priority, I can't see the white-eyed wolf!"

After Li Xiao sent Cheng Yaojin away, a figure dawdled to Li Xiao's side, that coy look like a bullied little daughter-in-law!
Zhu Ziming moved awkwardly and approached Li Xiao!

Although he was only in his early fifties, he was still the boss, but since working in the dock, he has not received any special treatment!

Seeing that He Guan under his command is more majestic than himself every day, he feels more and more uncomfortable!

Originally, Zhu Ziming planned to hang out in the dock for a while, and when the winter was over and the south wind was blowing, he would take a boat to the north with people to 'do business'!
But my brothers, it seems that they don't listen to my own words. I'm afraid I won't be able to take one of them away by then.

Today, my old boss, Brother Feng, also served with Lord Li, it seems that I have to confess the secret in his heart!
It would be nice to exchange for a little capital and the right to speak!

"Old Zhu, why do you look like a big girl? Just say anything!"

Li Xiao looked at Zhu Ziming in front of him, and said directly that Li Xiao knew Zhu Ziming from He Guan and Hua Ziwen.

He is a man of righteousness, and since he was young working in the dock, he likes the feeling of calling friends and being the boss.

Later, when the dock failed, he took a group of clappers to work as a pirate, but Aunt Hua said that sometimes when they had a good harvest, they would help the well-fed families in the fishing village!

All in all, this Zhu Ziming is pretty good!

Maybe he has a dream of being a hero, but Li Xiao treats Zhu Ziming equally, and doesn't take much care of Zhu Ziming. "My lord, I have something to tell you!"

Isn't this nonsense?Already seen it!

"Speak!"

Zhu Ziming said embarrassingly, "My old Zhu originally wanted to spend some time in the dock."

"Now I really plan to work hard with the Sir!"

"I still have something outside!."

The more Li Xiao listened carefully, the more his brows twitched, the excitement was written all over his face!
Now, the basic work of the dock is almost done, and the master shipbuilder has also been invited. We only need to wait for Yu Wenhai to make a model, and after the test, we can start working immediately!
But there is a key point, that is, the wood collected in Shandong Road recently is very ordinary, even if the boat is built, the size of the boat is not satisfactory.

Li Xiao is ready to expand the scope of collection, but in that case, the cost of wood transportation alone will be a big problem!

But now, Zhu Ziming told Li Xiao that when Zhu Ziming saw the downturn of the dock day by day, he set his mind on the dock!
Since I am a person in the dock, it is not too convenient to go in and out with a boat!
Moreover, the guards are useless!
As a result, a large amount of high-quality timber was secretly transported away by Zhu Ziming. A few years later, Zhu Ziming thought that the news had passed, so he took some of the timber with the people at that time, packed some of the timber, and shipped it to the south for sale!
It's a pity that heaven failed to fulfill people's wishes, and the southern businessmen are really too treacherous. They can see at a glance that Zhu Ziming's things are tricky, so they try their best to lower the price!
Zhu Ziming, who was used to being the boss since he was a child, couldn't bear the cowardice, so he just stopped selling and left with a boat!
However, just half a day after leaving the port, he was spotted by pirates!
Zhu Ziming was also a ruthless person, he was dead anyway, so he went the opposite way and headed towards the land. Either everyone ran aground together, or they were all discovered by the government!

My ship was running slowly with a full load of wood, and when it was approaching the land, it was overtaken by pirates behind it!
As soon as the two ships were fighting, Zhu Ziming could tell that these pirates had no fear at all, and he understood in an instant that the merchants and pirates were colluding, and the government and businessmen were colluding!
Damn, let's recite words!
Zhu Ziming directly abandoned the boat and fled. Fortunately, the water quality was good and he saw the opportunity quickly, so Zhu Ziming really escaped. Then he followed the coastline, went all the way north, and finally returned to the fishing village. He didn't go out to sea for half a year!

After that, Zhu Ziming was the only one who knew about the wood stealing from the shipyard, and this secret has been buried all the time!
