Great Song Pirate

Chapter 284 Just Say Something

Xu Yi looked at Gong Zhen and said: "Actually, after you and I met, I regarded you as my own. Although I traveled here and there and didn't stay here for much time, I knew that you and I were of the same mind. Whatever you say, just say it, I will keep everything from you!"

After hearing Xu Yi's words, Gong Zhen was very moved, so he bowed to thank him, and then asked: "Actually, I have known the shopkeeper for so long, and the shopkeeper's trust in me is already very grateful to Gong Zhen, and I have already made up my mind. I made up my mind, and I will do it with you, the shopkeeper, but for such a long time, I only know that you are rich, but I don't know anything about you. During this period of time, because of the refugee incident, I have heard more or less about the shopkeeper I just want to confirm what I have heard, and I wonder if you can tell me what you do, the shopkeeper. If the shopkeeper is inconvenient, then I have no right to say it!"

Xu Yi knows that there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and sooner or later he will know his identity. Instead of hiding it from him and making him feel uncomfortable, it is better to tell him and let him understand why he is doing things, so he pulled Passed a chair, asked Gong Zhen to sit opposite him and said: "I know that there is nothing that can be kept secret forever, since you asked today, I will tell you, I didn't tell you at the beginning because I was afraid of scaring you, Don’t do things with me anymore, now it seems that I am wrong, I shouldn’t lie to you, my brother, in fact, I used to do business with pirates!”

After hearing Xu Yi's words, although Gong Zhen had already prepared his mind, he still felt his heart jump a few times, and his face changed slightly. Xu Yi looked at his expression and said, "But don't worry, I Although Xu Yi does business without capital, he seldom does such outrageous things. Believe it or not, I seldom let my brothers indiscriminately kill the boatmen and cargo owners on the robbed ships. Don’t kill them all, evacuate all the goods, only take [-]% of the goods, and promise not to let them go bankrupt. Even these things, we have done less and less recently, and more sources of money rely on the kind produced by ourselves outside Soap to maintain, it is a group of people who are both merchants and robbers, and the money they get is mostly used for charity, otherwise I would not have taken in so many refugees, given them food and shelter, in order to help more poor people, now you can pay back Will you follow me?"

After listening to Xu Yi's words, Gong Zhen quickly stood up, bowed and said to Xu Yi: "So the shopkeeper, you are a bunch of righteous thieves! I also came from a poor background, and I know the difficulties of the poor. The shopkeeper is a pirate." , but still remember to give a helping hand to these poor people and save them from the fire and water. Gong Zhen admired him so much. Well, since the shopkeeper is doing good deeds, what else can I say? As long as you continue to treat the poor people so kindly in the future, then Gong Zhen's life will be your shopkeeper's. Killing is not enough, I only know the craft of shipbuilding, as long as the shopkeeper doesn't dislike me, Gong Zhen, even if I join the gang, Gong Zhen is absolutely willing to work with you, the shopkeeper!"

After Xu Yi asked him to sit down, he pulled him and said, "To be honest, I never thought about being a pirate before. Later, I found that most of those brothers were forced to go to sea to become pirates." I did this business with peace of mind, but most of the time I, Xu, think that I have a clear conscience. Most of the rich are rich and unkind, so I will do good deeds for them. Anyway, they have too much money to spend. After all, it’s a pity to bring it to the cemetery. It’s better to use it to help the poor, but I also know that it’s not an option to go on like this, so I found a big island in the sea, at least There is no problem in accommodating hundreds of thousands of refugees, and find a place for them to live and live, and they will no longer be oppressed by the rich people in the government. You have helped me a lot by building ships for me, don't say whether to join the gang or not I simply treat you as my brother! As long as you keep building good boats for me, I will be able to serve the poor better!..."

When Xu Yi said these words, he was somewhat ashamed, because no matter what he did in the past, the first thing he asked for was a word of stability, and the second thing he asked for was a word of benefit. He really didn't care much for those orphans or refugees. For the sake of thinking, he was more concerned about their future development. He also wanted to dominate one side and be a leisurely pirate leader who didn't care about the world. It was only after this trip to the north that his concept changed somewhat. Although he He is not a person of this era, but the blood flowing in his veins is still the same as that of people of this era. It is the blood of the Chinese nation, with the same root and origin. He really can't bear to watch those ordinary people suffer for nothing. Now that he has Some power, why can't we do something more for our nation?But in any case, what he did did not live up to his identity as a Chinese, so although he was a little ashamed when he said it, he didn't have any uneasy thoughts!

After listening to Xu Yi's words, Gong Zhen said excitedly: "As long as there are these words from the shopkeeper, Gong Zhen will be relieved. Don't worry, the shopkeeper. I will definitely live up to your great trust and promise to make good things for the brothers." Produce satisfactory ships, so that the brothers will be more safe, and I heard that the shopkeeper wants to build another shipyard in the south, should he build it on the big island you mentioned?"

Xu Yi nodded: "That's right! There are dense forests there, and the place is big enough. The wood on the island is enough to support the shipbuilding outside. I want to build a new shipyard there, so that I can build a new shipyard there so that I can build it as big as I want. We will build as many boats as we want, and we will definitely use these big boats to give us Song people a lot of strength!"

Gong Zhen was overjoyed when he heard that: "Since the shopkeeper wants to build a big boat yard over there, Gong Zhen has a merciless request. I hope the shopkeeper can count me in. I also want to go there and have a look. I don’t have any big ambitions, but the thing I want most is to build the largest and best ship in the world, and I ask the treasurer to agree to it!”

Xu Yi was very happy to hear his request. He was also considering manpower for this matter. Fan Sheng was originally the first candidate he would consider, but the shipyard in Hangzhou is much bigger than here. , Fan Sheng was transferred away, he was afraid that there would be no manager in charge at the shipyard over there, Gong Zhen would be a candidate who could be considered, but he also felt a little embarrassed, so he said embarrassingly: "If you want to say, I would also like to Let you go, after all, I don't have a suitable candidate to supervise the construction of the shipyard over there, you should say that he should be a very suitable candidate, but what I am worried about is that once you leave, I will go to the shipyard here again. Who can I find to take care of me?"

Gong Zhen immediately said: "Don't worry about this matter, shopkeeper. Even if I leave here, I can still stay here. Among the foremen here, there is a man named Fu Hong who is more prestigious than me in the shipyard. He is tall, and he is also very down-to-earth and capable, and his skills are not inferior to mine. He is an old man here in Yangzhou. He is familiar with all kinds of things. He also respects you as the shopkeeper. With him, there must be no problem. Brother Gray is the most familiar with him, and the master can ask his opinion!"

Xu Yi felt relieved now, because he also knew that Fu Hong was an old man in the shipyard. He is very strict and gets along well with everyone. You don't need to ask Gray, he also believes in Gong Zhen's recommendation, so he nodded and said, "If you really want to go, you can, but first you have to hand over the matter here to Fu Hong." I’ll talk about it later, but I’ll say it first, everything needs to be done over there, it’s probably going to be very hard, so you have to be mentally prepared! Also, try to persuade as many craftsmen as possible to come with you. It doesn't matter to the family members, you can let them move the family members together, anyway, I won't treat them badly!"

Gong Zhen was overjoyed, and quickly agreed: "Don't worry, the shopkeeper. We workers are not afraid of suffering. I am familiar with many craftsmen here. During this time, I will gather some good hands as soon as possible and persuade them to come with me. Food and housing are enough. The most indispensable thing in Yangzhou is shipbuilders. Because there are more and more shipyards in the south, there are basically no jobs. Many people are eager to work in our shipyards. Work! During this period of time, I have picked out a lot of good players, as long as I say there is a place for them to work, they will definitely follow me!"

Xu Yi smiled and settled the matter with Gong Zhen. Gong Zhen would gather a lot of people in the Yangzhou area. After the matter here was handed over to Fu Hong, he could take people to Liuqiu Island.

Xu Yi told Ge Lei this decision, which made Ge Lei feel a little bit reluctant to give up on Gong Zhen. After all, the two of them had been together for a long time, and they had formed a tacit understanding in many things, and their relationship was quite good. Gray was really reluctant to leave, but fortunately, it was Fu Hong who picked up Gong Zhen, so he didn't have any objections.

Before Xu Yi left, he found Fu Hong again, and told him about it personally. When he heard that Xu Yi had entrusted him with taking care of the shipyard, Fu Hong was so excited for a while, and turned over in a trembling voice, thanking Xu Yi. Yi's trust, vowed to do a good job in the shipyard, and not to let down Xu Yi's trust in him. Later, Xu Yi helped him up and comforted him, and basically settled these things.
