This is what Li Cong taught the people below. The association has existed for such a long time, and there is a fundamental reason for its existence. It is okay to let them develop slowly, but they must be under the supervision of the government and become the government's dog legs.

In addition to these things, there are no more frequent beatings and scoldings of workers on the dock. In the past, as long as I was a little slow in doing things, or if I didn't agree with the people above me, I would be slapped with sticks all over my body.

, there is nothing good about him. These people beat people to death. Now those people are gone. The rules of the Cao family business are that no beating or scolding is allowed. If there is an issue, the matter will be resolved and wages will be deducted.

That’s it. For example, if you are lazy, you won’t make so much money. Everything is charged by the piece. If you do well, you will naturally earn more. If you do not do well, we will earn less. This makes the dock

The enthusiasm of the workers began to increase rapidly. Those with greater strength naturally earned more, while those with less understanding also earned less. People who used to collect protection fees were dumbfounded. Why didn't they think of this? I didn't expect the Cao family

Commercial banks are much better than them in terms of management. It's no wonder that others can get promoted but we can't.

The interests of the Eastern Empire in this sea are very powerful. Just like in this city, their main human base is not in that office, but in another place. This place is at the dock.

The empire has its own huge interests in the dock. How many islands are there on the southern coast? Li Cong doesn't know. He hasn't had the opportunity to let his team go to the southern coast to take a look. Even if he does, it is estimated that

The Eastern Empire also has its own way of coping. The Eastern Empire has developed greatly on the sea in recent years. With its own strength, it is absolutely impossible for him to give up all these things. If he gives up, he will give up the advantages of the Eastern Empire, so

When they signed the contract, they requested a very independent small dock on the dock, and this place is where Li Cong will be looking for trouble today. The officials appointed here are the real officials appointed by the Eastern Empire, and those in the city are basically

It's just for blocking the eyes, it's not of any great use.

It can be said that there are not many private merchant ships coming in and out. Most of them are some government ships in the Eastern Empire. These ships wander around between the overseas islands of the Eastern Empire and the mainland of the empire, transporting some overseas things to the main road.

, It is their mission to transport things needed on overseas islands from the mainland. In the past, they suffered a lot of losses due to the pirates played by Li Cong. Overseas islands have also gone through a good period of time.

Development mainly means that various resources can be transported there and back. Only if the trade between the two sides is strengthened can they have such good things. If Li Zong appears again from Shanghai, they may still have some problems with these islands.

The loss of contact is not a good thing for both parties. Now it can be said that various things on both sides are slowly progressing. Many people believe that development is certain. It just depends on how it develops.

.

The imperial court had already trapped the people of the Cao Family Trading Company without a single contract. So they did not leave many troops here. The imperial court also had some debates on this matter. How many troops should be left behind? What if?

If the flow is too little, it will be of no use at all. If the flow is too much, the surrounding people will be retreating. These troops are stationed here alone, and their daily expenses are a very astonishing amount, allowing them to be here for the imperial court.

It is very difficult for us. So we simply don’t leave any troops. Even if something happens? So now there are just a few officials here. For this city, there are only a few hundred people, not many? At this moment

Li Cong's bodyguard has already arrived here. If you want to cause trouble, you should start from here. It has no effect at all in those places in the city. Even if those people are all dead, the Eastern Empire government will not ask more questions. At most,

Just send a few people over to continue to take their place.

Several Eastern Empire officials upstairs were still drinking morning tea on the rooftop as before. When they saw a dozen cavalrymen setting up downstairs, all wearing clothes from the Cao Family Trading Company, they looked a little confused.

What's going on? In the past, the people of Cao's Commercial Bank would never come to this place. Even if they did, they would submit some official documents. Their place is completely different from those in the city.

Similarly, they have their own ideas and their own strength here. If that doesn't work, they can go to sea immediately. The vast sea of ​​​​Cao's Trading Company has nothing to do with them. What are these people doing here today?

The leader suddenly thought that there were two very important ships in the port, which were carrying more important things. These things were transported back from overseas. If something happened, they would not be able to afford it.

Thinking of this, he put on a smile and prepared to go down and ask what was going on?

The fat man walked downstairs as fast as he could. Li Cong's guards were a little impatient to wait. The concierge always said that their master would be coming down soon. When did he arrive soon? How long has it been?

As time has passed, it’s true that I can’t help but see me being ignored by my brothers for being just a bodyguard. Even if we are bodyguards, you can see clearly that we are also the bodyguards of the boss of the Cao family business, even if we are the city lord here.

We must also give us face. You, a little concierge, dared to stop us. He came here just to cause trouble. Now that something like this happened, I felt even more unhappy. I went up and slapped this concierge aside.

Who the hell do you think you are, you dare to stop me. I have something to do here today. If your boss doesn’t come out, I will set you on fire and you won’t even look at who I am? This guy said arrogantly, it looks like

A very powerful person. When the person in charge heard this, he immediately came down and even rolled over.

"Master, don't be angry. Don't be angry. Look at our place. It's just a small office. If you have anything to do, tell me and I'll go and take care of the big things for you right away. But

I dare not say that as long as it is within the scope of our capabilities, we will take you there to drink tea immediately. Don’t be familiar with these people. Who are they? They are open-door. Of course, they don’t know how big you are.

It's so precious. This guy is very talkative. She should hurry up and get these guards inside. Although she doesn't know what these people do? Even if you don't look at their clothes, you can tell that they are very luxurious, but this dress

The clothes already cost dozens of taels of silver. Does an ordinary soldier have such clothes? That is absolutely impossible. They should be the bodyguards of some big shot. The top official of the Cao Family Trading Company here has also seen it himself.

It seems that they don't have such momentum, they should be people from their headquarters.

It's like those imperial envoys. When they come down, they can see some people in the local area. In their eyes, the highest local officials are just like country bumpkins. They want to do whatever they want. They just pull out their Shangfang sword. I'm from the headquarters.

I am the one who comes from the emperor's side. You people must listen to me. I represent the highest will. These people must have the same idea. They must be very famous within the Cao family business. The Eastern Empire is

He was defeated by the Cao Family Trading Company in the war. Although the common people are still confused now, all the officials he called know. How did the Eastern Empire grovel in that war? How did the Eastern Empire get chased out on the streets? How did it get kicked out by others?

He is very aware of the restlessness day and night, so even if it is for the interests of the empire, he will just throw it to the ground with his face. Whether others can step on it or not depends on whether they are happy or not. It is his own

How could you have other thoughts in your mind?

You guy is the person in charge here. Next time you open the door, you should keep your eyes open. Opening the door will represent the face of your yamen. What they did at the door is very bad.

When you meet the common people, you will yell at them. People like us don’t have to kowtow. If you want such a person to open the door for you, you will find trouble for you. Let’s make it clear. We are Mr. Cao Ke, the owner of the Cao Family Trading Company.

We are their bodyguards for the people around us. I came here today to ask you to take care of some things. You also know that our Cao Family Trading Company is also very powerful. I don’t need to say more about this. Of course we can handle this.

Things will be done better, but now I don't give you a chance to curry favor with our boss. I leave this matter to you. How can I take care of you? I just want you to speak well.

I leave this matter to you. What this guy said is really beautiful.

This official of the Eastern Empire felt bitter in his heart. He wanted to go up and beat this smiling guy. What the hell did you say? You came to me to handle your affairs because you think highly of me. Why don't I feel this way?

?The war that our two sides just fought was not a bloody one, it was also a serious injury to both sides. Now you actually say such words, but this guy's heart and face are indeed good.

I want to tear her apart in my heart, but I can't do that on my face. I still have my own smile on my face. Just tell me what the matter is. No matter how big or small it is, I will handle it properly for you.

Yes, he didn't say anything to give in but just printed the matter out. No matter what it is, he has to do it. What others say must be difficult for him. If he doesn't make it difficult for him, others will too.

I won’t say it out loud, it seems that everything I do now is difficult.

It's not a big deal. I know you are in charge of these ships. You have the final say on what goods they transport every day and when they go out every day. I'm talking about these official fleets of your Eastern Empire.

On our side, a batch of goods happened to be transported to the Southern Empire recently. I wonder if your ships can help me. It doesn’t take long. According to your speed, it will be about a year and a half. The quantity

It's not that many, maybe 50,000 ships are enough. Oh, don't refuse me. But do you know how many ships you have? You seem to have more than 60,000 ships under your control. You can use these ships to return them.

There are more than 10,000 left. The main reason is that if you feel that the transportation capacity cannot keep up, our Cao Family Trading Company here also has some possibilities. Our speed is much faster than yours. One ship can provide you with ten ships. This guy will get in and sit on it.

In the top person's seat, this kind of anti-customer attitude made everyone in the room uncomfortable.

This statement may seem trivial, but in fact this is what the Eastern Empire is most afraid of. When the Eastern Empire established this office here, the bottom line they told them is that they must not let their ships help the Cao Family Trading Company transport things.

, and you absolutely cannot go to the Cao Family Trading Company's ship to help you transport things. Although the fact is as this guy said, the Cao Family Trading Company's ship is very fast and ten times more efficient than their work. But where are these islands on the sea?

The local Cao Family Trading Company didn't know about it at all. If they knew about it, it would be very difficult. If these people rushed over directly, their island would become the territory of the Cao Family Trading Company. The Cao Family Trading Company originally

A large island was drugged by the Eastern Empire. The Eastern Empire also knows what the Cao Family Trading Company is thinking of? The Cao Family Trading Company knows that one day they will be enemies of the four empires. At that time, they will definitely not have a foothold on the entire continent.

If they have lost their land, they must find their own foothold on the sea, which is an urgent matter for the Cao Family Trading Company.

Are there some rich minerals on the island? It can be said that there are gold, silver, platinum, and copper. If the people of the Cao Family Trading Company rush to it, it will be their wealth.

That is absolutely not possible for the empire. So many things have been circulated in the Eastern Empire over the years because they were excavated on these islands. The mainland of the Eastern Empire is actually similar to other empires, and there are only so many minerals. But

Why can every soldier in the Eastern Empire be covered with iron armor? Where did the Eastern Empire get so much iron? Li Cong's Cao Family Trading Company also deals in iron ore, but they also

Without so much iron ore for them to discover, the Eastern Empire is different. There are a lot of such resources on the islands discovered by the Eastern Empire. It can be said that they are inexhaustible. Of course, according to the current situation

Calculating the speed, if modern technology is used to excavate, any kind of collapse can be unearthed.

Minerals are very important at any time. In the past, other empires did not see this, so they all lagged far behind. But the people in the Eastern Empire saw this, and now they

It has a lot of minerals, which can be said to be more than the other three empires combined. The islands on the sea are rich in minerals, and many people there work to mine every day.

They are all prisoners from the Eastern Empire. If they had been other people, they would not be able to sleep in that place. That means they can endure the loneliness on the island. If it were other people, they would definitely be noisy.

They went back in a fuss. Each of them had their own thoughts in their hearts. They all knew that even if they went back, it might not be as easy as living here. At least they could save their lives here. If they went back, they would not even be able to live well.

Their lives cannot be saved. In the history of the Eastern Empire, they are all fugitives. Such people can only be killed. Apart from being killed, they will have no other consequences. (To be continued.
