I'm a pirate at the end of Ming Dynasty

After sorting out his emotions, Zheng Zhipeng reluctantly calmed down and got down to business first: "I already understand what you all mean. Brother Yan's words are not unreasonable. It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. After all, these days, everyone is in danger, and even the landlords may not have enough food left after three wages and one levy.

But don’t worry, everyone, since you are allowed to risk your lives with my Zheng family, I will naturally solve your worries. Let’s talk about the three salaries first. This is decided by the imperial court. To suppress bandits in the west and fight against the Jin in the north, the imperial court has no choice. Not to mention me, not even the Lord of the Ministry dares to order you not to pay your three salaries in the future. Of course, I can guarantee that in addition to the amount stipulated by the court, no one will be able to collect more from us. Walk one minute at a time. "

Everyone was speechless after hearing this. It was obvious that they were not satisfied.

"Since there is no good way to reduce expenditure, we can only work on increasing revenue. What Brother Yan just said is quite right. Our Zheng family sells goods all over the world, and there is nothing we don't accept or sell. Point to With the little income from farming, it may be difficult to make a living on the basis of meeting three wages. It just so happens that you all live along the sea, so it would be convenient for us to exchange information with our Zheng family. If there is any in the future, Items such as lacquer, silk, porcelain, etc. can be sold to us, or even collected and sold to us. We will definitely buy them at the most reasonable price, as much as we want."

Glancing at Yan Yingyuan, Zheng Zhipeng said again: "Brother Yan, since your hometown is on the coast, don't you know it is close to the mountains? Are there trees on the mountains?"

"This... Back to Fourth Master, we in Zhejiang have always said that there are seven mountains, two rivers and one farmland. There is basically no village that is not adjacent to mountains, and there are naturally trees on the mountains."

"Since there are trees and sea, why not learn to build ships? If you can't build big ships, why can't you build small ships? If the conditions in Guixiang are suitable, I can ask my elder brother to invest tens of thousands of taels to build a small ship in Guixiang. The shipyard will allow everyone in your hometown to earn wages, which should be enough for your hometown to live a good life."

With the bang, everyone at the table became excited and shouted: "Fourth Master, our town is also close to mountains and has trees, so we can also build a shipyard."

Zheng Zhipeng stretched out his hand to stop and said: "I'm just making an analogy. It doesn't necessarily have to be a shipyard. Silk reeling, lacquer refining, copper making, mining, ceramics, etc. It all has to be adapted to local conditions and different people. It must be specific. Let’s talk about it again, and it must be related to your specific performance in this battle. Of course, the one who kills the most enemies should be given priority in investment, invest huge sums of money, and those who escape more... Will we build a brick kiln for you by then?

You are responsible for the specific operations and production, and we hold half of the shares. The things you make are sold directly to us at market prices. Why not?Friends are meant to be friends with each other, don’t you think? "

When everyone heard this, what else could they say?Human life is worthless in troubled times!

They all clapped their chests and assured Zheng Zhipeng, one said how brave my hometown warriors were, another one said how diligently my hometown warriors trained, and one even said that all the people in their township are descendants of Qi Jiajun, and they can marry each other at any time. The mandarin duck formation came out.

Anyway, just one word from Zheng Zhipeng, and these people would immediately scream and fight wherever they pointed.

Zheng Zhipeng said: "What we have to face this time is probably the thief Liu Xiang."

The scene fell silent for a moment, and everyone was obviously stunned. However, just when Zheng Zhipeng thought it must be a basin of cold water, the group of people immediately started screaming again.

"Isn't it Liu Xiang? Isn't he also the leader of the Japanese pirates? How can he grow two heads with such a great reputation? Just beat him. The heroes of our village are not afraid of death."

"The heroes of our village are not afraid of death! As long as Liu Xiang Liu dares to go ashore, he will not be able to go back safely if he gives the order."

"My father fought Xu Hai with General Qi back then, and now our village is fighting Liu Xiang with Fourth Master. This is called inheritance!"

Only Yan Yingyuan frowned for a moment and said, "Master Fourth, are you joking? If you really want to fight Liu Xiang, you have to ask Lord Long to come in person. At the worst, you have to ask Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to jointly send troops, with regular troops." Suppress it, otherwise with us rural soldiers, this... this is not a question of money, this is... even if we all fight to death, I am afraid it may not be enough to fill the gap between people's teeth, and hitting an egg with a stone is not such an attack. ah."

Zheng Zhipeng nodded when he heard this and said: "Brother Yan, please calm down. Yes, if we beat Liu Xiang, with our strength, we will be the meat on someone's lips. If we swallow him with just one bite, it will be the same as seeking death. Brother Yan will not be benefited." He was so calm but he was so calm, Zheng admired him, admired him."

Yan Yingyuan said dumbfounded: "Fourth Master, please stop joking. What is going on? Can you tell us the truth?"

"It is true that I want to hit Liu Xiang, but it is not a head-on collision."

With that said, Zheng Zhipeng explained the cause and effect of the matter, but he was not worried about them going to report the news to the Xu family. After all, from now on, Zheng Zhipeng would never give them this opportunity.

Yan Yingyuan nodded when he heard the words and said: "If that's the case, then this matter can be done. It's better to be prepared versus unprepared. It's just his vanguard who ambushed the enemy. It's somewhat certain. But if Liu Xiang doesn't send someone first The vanguard, or the alienation plan has not taken effect, I am afraid that all of us will..."

"Yes, it's a bit of a gamble."

Zheng Zhipeng had an idea and thought that Yan Yingyuan was a ruthless man who had blocked Duduo for eighty days and killed three kings and eighteen generals of the Qing army with a broken county town and a group of ordinary people. His military vision must be much better than his own, so he asked Said: "Brother Yan, do you think this plan is feasible?"

"Back to Fourth Master, just from the perspective of an ambush, this battle should be possible. I don't know Liu Xiang's character, but based on common sense, this strategy should be feasible."

Hearing this, Zheng Zhipeng's original [-]% confidence immediately became [-]%. He slapped the table and said excitedly: "Okay! Then the matter is settled!"
