Ma Wei stood up, pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, and said, "Li Mingxun, remember, even if Ah Hai takes you as his teacher, you can't be the big guy's house. The shopkeeper only gave you a quarter of the money and didn't let you take care of the business! Could it be that you thought you had some prestige and wanted to take that money alone!"

Li Mingxun glanced at him, held Ah Hai who was about to attack, and said lightly: "What is prestige? It depends on whose knife is hard."

This was obviously directed at Ma Wei, but it also showed that he had no intention. Ma Wei's face turned red and sat back, saying, "You are right. If you have any ideas you shouldn't have, you have to ask me if Ma Wei's knife agrees."

Song Laoqi hurriedly came out to smooth things over and said, "You all calm down. Ma Wei, you are also an old man around the shopkeeper. Why are you so unhappy? Mr. Li is a smart person, so he naturally knows what to do and what not to do. It's not too late to listen to him finish his words first and then express his opinion."

Li Mingxun clasped his fists at Song Laoqi and smiled, saying, "I think so. Even if we part, the two leaders are not the ones who go to the fields to dig food. Whether they go to sea or become heads, they have to use people around them. These people who escaped from Manila have long since made kindness with us. If the money is paid, there are still a few who are willing to follow us!"

When Ma Wei heard this, his expression calmed down a lot. In fact, in his plan, if Lin Cheng died, he would continue to do maritime business with the Yongjin Hu, but he could not drive the Yongjin Hu alone and needed sailors. However, there were originally more than 200 entries on the Yongjin Hu. Even if there were more than 200 entries, each of these more than 200 entries could be divided into 100 taels of silver. This is not a small amount. Even in Fujian, where there are many people and few lands, they can buy a house, a few cows and thirty acres of land. That is already beyond the living standards of most farmers. With this money, who would be willing to go out to sea to take risks?

Of course, Li Mingxun had more than one reason. Although these people on the ship died and were sick all the way, there were more than 200 people. These people were either experienced sailors, managers, accounting offices, craftsmen, and only dozens of women and children. In this era, these are all authentic high-quality talents. For Li Mingxun, who is full of ambitions and wants to lay a foundation in this era, it is an indispensable human resource. How could he let them be dismissed?

"I don't think we should be divided. The reason why two leaders and ordinary men are guilty of being guilty of being innocent is that if you divide the money, many money matters on our ship will be leaked. Even sailors and craftsmen can divide 180 taels. Others don't think that there is a gold mountain on our ship. This is the territory of the Dutch. Those red-haired and fierce barbarians may kill people and take us away. Although Uncle He can speak from the Dutch, he can't protect us." At this time, Ah Hai also stood up and said.

Song Laoqi nodded slightly and said, "What Ahai said is that money cannot be paid or circulated. However, if the shopkeeper agreed at the beginning, it would be bad if people knew that they were untrustworthy."

Li Mingxun smiled and said, "The shopkeeper agreed to share the money for everyone because he was afraid that after the Manila family was destroyed, the officials or Fujian would be out of food and clothing. If everyone could settle down and let them have food and clothing, they wouldn't have to pay the money."

"Hmph, you big turbans are just good at talking." Ma Wei said sarcastically with his chest, but he had no objection to this. If he didn't share it, the money would sooner or later fall into the hands of the senior management, and he would get one at least.

Song Laoqi smiled and said, "Then Mr. Li tell me, how to place them?"

Li Mingxun had already thought of it: "It is better to pay for them first, eat, stay and build the Yongjin Cap. After the shopkeeper is ready, we will go to Jialuo Village to settle it."

Song Laoqi and Ma Wei looked at each other and nodded slightly. Ma Wei felt even more disdainful and complained in his heart that Li Mingxun was really a stingy person. There was a reason for him to think so. In addition to his own strength and He Bin's care, the most important thing is that Jialuo Village is located a hundred miles north of the senior official. It is not a mature land that has been developed near Chi Cianzuo. Not only is it to be developed, but it also has to face the attacks of the indigenous villages that are in a state of war with the Dutch. The most terrifying one is the Huweilong Club. Among all the villages in Taiwan, it is also one with super combat power.

More importantly, there is a threat from the Dadu Fan Kingdom. It is not a simple village community, but a powerful alliance of more than 20 village communities. It is the most powerful among the indigenous village communities in Taiwan.

In Ma Wei's opinion, Li Mingxun must have had a bad idea. He took the people to Jialuo Village and threw the surrounding wasteland that had not been reclaimed to them. He could make excuses for this matter without spending much money, and he would be fined for nothing.

However, Ma Wei would not have thought that what Li Mingxun looked down upon the most was his favorite Dayuangang Port. Although it was prosperous and there were many maritime merchants, it was the core of the Dutch colonization in Taiwan. The Dutch were not fools. Anyone who threatened their interests would be ruthlessly wiped out. The surrounding aboriginal villages and communities were like this, and the Chinese were no exception. Jialuo Village was high and the emperor was far away. If the Dutch were dealt with properly, they might have a foundation before the Dutch reacted.

After deciding on this matter, Ma Wei took some silver from Song Laoqi early the next morning and began to buy food and other resources needed to resettle refugees. Although he knew that Ma Wei would definitely grab some of it, Li Mingxun had no choice. After all, Ma Wei commanded the most powerful force under Lin Cheng's command. If there was a fall, no one would get any benefits.

However, things did not worsen to the point where it was uncontrollable. After three days of unconsciousness, Lin Cheng finally woke up from weakness. Although he still couldn't speak or get out of bed, as long as he was alive, the organization led by him would not disperse.

After Lin Cheng recovered a little, Ahai explained what had happened in the past few days to Lin Cheng in front of everyone. After Lin Cheng learned everything, he praised Li Mingxun and the other two for their performance. Although Ahai emphasized some signs of Ma Wei's disbandment, Lin Cheng seemed not to hear it and praised Ma Wei for his handling of his relationship with the Dutch very properly.

Since Lin Cheng was not dead, everyone's future was in his hands. Li Mingxun asked him for advice to go to Jialuo Village with some anxiety, but he had already made up his mind that if Lin Cheng wanted to enjoy the comfort brought by the trading city of Dayuangang, he would find an opportunity to leave. However, unexpectedly, Lin Cheng quickly made a decision and a large group of people went to Jialuo Village to be resettled.

On the seventh day after arriving in Taiwan, Lin Cheng was finally able to speak. He called everyone to his side and said, "Mr. Li said he would go to Jialuo Village. Actually, I have thought about it this way, but Taiwan is the Dutch territory after all. We must wear small shoes just by relying on He Bin. So, I still want to leave some people for the senior officials. Ma Wei, you can stay."

Ma Wei's face changed slightly. Although he didn't want to go to the place where birds do not poop in Jialuo Village, he didn't want to be expelled from the center, nor did he want to lose his power. Lin Cheng raised his hand and continued, "It's a deep meaning for me to leave you. First, you are familiar with the officials and can deal with the Dutch. Second, you still have important things. Now we only have the Yongjin Ship, but the situation is not good. Only the officials in Taiwan can repair it. I don't feel at ease with anyone who handed this errand. I will leave you fifty people and another ten thousand taels of silver. The industry here is also handed over to you. The cunning rabbit has three holes, so we can't go all the way to the black, right?"

Ma Wei's face looked much better now. Lin Cheng's distribution made him really take advantage of him. Even if he disbanded, he would not get so much. The most important thing is that the Yongjin account was in his hands and he monopolized the power. He didn't have the final say on what he wanted to do.

"I'll listen to the shopkeeper." Ma Wei said happily.

Three days later, two bird boats set sail from Dayuan Port, headed north along the coastline, and headed to Jialuo Village.

The two ships were bought by Lin Cheng and asked He Bin to buy them from the Dutch. It is said that they were the Zheng family ships captured from the sea. In addition to carrying the remaining more than 100 people, they also recruited more than 40 sailors. The cabin was loaded with purchased food, cloth, iron, salt and other daily necessities.

As it got late, Li Mingxun arranged the sailors and helmsman on duty and entered the cabin. Two ships, one Song Laoqi commanded. This ship was on the surface, but after going to sea, he handed over everything to Li Mingxun and gave it full power. Li Mingxun knew that this experience was also a test, and seized the opportunity that was difficult, and was extremely serious.

After entering the cabin, Lin Cheng was lying on the bed, drinking wine and eating salted fish strips, and bragging with a few teenagers. His spirit was much better than on land. When he saw Li Mingxun coming in, he waved his hand and said, "Get out and go to bed, Mr. Li have something to say."

A group of teenagers left with a laugh. Li Mingxun sat next to Lin Cheng. Lin Cheng said, "Half a month ago, I thought, which Buddha gave me a living Bodhisattva. I can't afford it in this small temple. Now it seems that Mr. Li is not only a living Bodhisattva but also a natural sea dog. Haha, I, Lin Cheng, have I come to the world for nothing if I can make friends like you."

"If you were not for your care, Mingxun would have been fish food in the sea long ago." Li Mingxun said.

Lin Cheng waved his hand and said, "Let's not say polite words. You are Ahai's master, I am Ahai's biological uncle. We will be a family in the future. I will explain the words first. Now I am a disabled person. I can't leave the sea or go out. If it weren't for you, I would pass on this burden to Ma Wei and be a family member with peace of mind."

Li Mingxun's face darkened. Ma Wei always intended to target him, and he was even more casual. Li Mingxun had no good opinion about that guy, but Lin Cheng said: "I know that Ma Wei is small-minded and can't tolerate others and is easy to be impulsive. But at sea, the leader can be a wolf, but not a donkey. Song Laoqi is a donkey who pulls the mills and cannot be a home. Originally, only Ma Wei is suitable under my command, but you appear. You have knowledge and courage. You may be suitable than him. So I divided the house into two halves, and the boat and the sailor gave Ma Wei. Although I still hold the others, I hope you can take on this burden. Do you understand?"

"Mingxun knows that the shopkeeper is so proud of you, Mingxun will naturally not disappoint you." Li Mingxun clasped his fists and said. He could not repay Lin Cheng's appreciation. He actually knew in his heart that if Lin Cheng had not broken his legs, these would not have fallen into him.

Lin Cheng smiled and said, "Now you have low prestige and few methods. I can still bear it for you. I will not be able to bear it sooner or later, so you have to hurry up. I, Lin Cheng, have no requirements, just hope that you, Mr. Li, will be well with Ah Hai."

Li Mingxun looked solemn and said, "Don't worry, the shopkeeper, Mingxun will definitely not let Ah Hai buried it."

Jialuo Village is only more than 100 miles away from Dayuan Port. Although the bird boats are slow, the Black Shui Ditch in the strait has ocean currents to the north all year round. After sailing for a day and a night, it is near Chiayi in later generations. It has a straight sandy shore and is spread across the white and delicate beach. The terrain is extremely gentle and slanted. It is already in the northern section of the plain, and further north is the lush hilly area.

However, the first group of people who greeted Li Mingxun and others were not the Fula Han people from Jialuo Village, but a group of indigenous people rowing canoes. The indigenous people's canoes were made of hollowed out of the middle with a century-old tree, and some even two were connected together to make catamarans. Driven by the oars flying in the hands of the natives above, the canoes with a raised bow seemed to fly on the smooth sea.

"Master, they must have regarded us as merchants." Ah Hai pointed to the natives full of deer skin and fruits and said with a smile.

Lee Mingxun said: "We are businessmen."

At this time, another bird boat had stopped, and the people on it were trading with the natives who were approaching the past. Bags of salt and bundles of iron were exchanged for bundles of deer skin, baskets of venison and even golden sand. Song Laoqi's big mouth was almost unable to hold his pipe.

"No, no, Ah Hai, you should immediately notify Song Laoqi and ask him to stop trading. We cannot trade at will like this. We need a fixed trading place, systematic trading rules and reasonable prices. Song Laoqi, the idiot..." Li Mingxun said in an anxious face.

Ahai smiled. He didn't understand why his master stopped Song Laoqi from making money, but according to his uncle, he was right to listen to the master. He shouted at a canoe that was rowing over, and he spoke in native language. Soon, Ahai jumped on the tattooed indigenous canoe and threw him an iron axe. After the indigenous rowing boat quickly headed towards the bird boat where Song Laoqi was.

Soon, the natives there dispersed and the bird boat continued to set off. After Ah Hai returned successfully, he said proudly: "Master, I told the natives that they have too few goods. Let them bring more tomorrow. I will take them to the place you designated to trade."
