206 Greed
Inside and outside, Yang Changfan ate a lot of profits from the trade between Franchis and the Ming Dynasty. Although Wang Zhi used to be the same, at least he did not do it in front of Franchis, and he also had to take the risk of landing and sailing.
Therefore, Franji saw that the ship owner Yang made money so easily, and he could not hold back. After entering the port this time, Kalai's fleet did not directly trade with the ship owner, but instead looked for private ships traveling to and from the mainland, trying to bypass the ship owner Yang to trade directly.
If it was a small thing or bulk cargo, it would be fine, but this batch was a fleet of peppers, which were tens of thousands of kilograms. The leader Hu Chang'an would not let go of anything. Although tens of taels of silver inside and outside were from the public, he and his brothers had his own share of the hundreds of taels of taels of money.
The two sides were in a stalemate and had to find Yang Changfan.
This is the role of the leader. The leader is not happy with himself, but needs to solve the problem. In the past, Wang Zhi was always able to handle such contradictions appropriately and perfectly, and he was convinced by everyone in the world and eventually became a hegemony. Now Yang Changfan also has to face these troubles.
At present, it is impossible to make Franji convinced and do business with him steadily, and not lose his own and his subordinates' interests, because the environment in Penghu is too good, Franji can easily reach an agreement with other ships here.
With the help of translation, Yang Changfan first made clear his position.
"Penghu is built by us, protected by us, warehouses are ours, and ports are ours. Do you know that if you are in our territory, bypass us and trade with people? "
Hu Changan and others secretly praised him, and this principle must be adhered to.
Kale is a slightly younger admiral who obviously doesn't care much about the rules of the older generation: "We can trade elsewhere, but it's more convenient here."
"Little guy, we have been trading with people on Shaka Road for decades. Have you forgotten the basic rules?" Yang Changfan showed a ruthless look, "If we don't go to Southeast Asia, you don't enter the East China Sea, you will give us all your goods and you will also give us all your goods."
"Of course I know this. But now the situation has changed. There are many ships, not only you have one."
"So you also hope that there will be many ships in Southeast Asia?"
"I don't understand what you mean."
"That's called Shajialulai. If you don't want to give this batch of goods to us, we can help you save them temporarily." Yang Changfan turned his head and waved his arms at Hu Chang'an, "Get on the ship! Unload the goods!"
"Okay, the ship owner!" Hu Changan laughed loudly and led his brothers to board the Franchise ship.
"Wait!" Kalai stopped Hu Changan and said angrily, "You are robbing!"
"Call Shaka Lulai, there is nothing to say to you."
Kalai turned around and shouted, and more than a dozen sailors of different skin colors picked up their weapons.
Yang Changfan clapped his hands: "What?"
"You are not Wang Zhi! Wang Zhi won't deal with this!"
"Of course I'm not, but you're not Shaka Road either." Yang Changfan waved his arms again, "Open the goods! If they dare to do something, we will kill you!"
More subordinates gathered over, and more than 10,000 sea soldiers were already itchy in their hands and teeth, so this time hundreds of people gathered around him was really forcing.
Kalai glared at him, but he never dared to order resistance. This place was his territory after all.
In this way, several ships of cargo were detained by Yang Changfan and replaced with corresponding cloth and silk to send them onto the ship. Kalai resented his departure from the port. Although this time it was a big profit, it was far less than what he had imagined.
Hu Changan and others were naturally overjoyed and praised the ship owner. However, Xu Wenchang, Zhao Guangtou and others did not look very good.
This is the first time I have had a rift with Franchi.
Penghu is good and convenient, but if Franji really bypasses Penghu and trades with people, it cannot be stopped.
In the Penghu Conference Hall, several old leaders explained such concerns.
Yang Changfan answered happily. If they bypassed us, we would bypass them.
It’s just Nanyang, no further than Penghu to Jiuzhou.
The leaders were even more embarrassed now.
Our fleet has always been stable in the East China Sea and rich enough to rival a country. The farthest voyage is from Jiuzhou to Quanzhou, which cannot be farther away. In fact, this is enough. The so-called Nanyang should not be where we go.
Through external contradictions, internal contradictions are gradually exposed.
There is no need to fight and kill in life now, and make a lot of money safely. Everyone is satisfied. The only thing they hope is to be able to reunite the whole family, or return home in glory like Wang who has been thinking about until his death. In addition, there is no other idea. After running to the East China Sea for decades, it is okay to run away, but facing the unknown Nanyang, most people are not willing to get involved.
As the saying goes, if you are poor, you will think of change. The people in front of you are endless.
In addition, although the Fujian Navy was not eyeing him, there was also the possibility of visiting at any time. The coastal defense here did not dare to neglect him. The leaders expressed their willingness to defend Penghu and not look for me when they went to Nanyang.
After all, he was a pirate, and his vision and ambition were only here. We must not blame them. Until he died, wouldn’t Wang return home in glory as his highest goal?
After the discussion, Yang Changfan left Hu Zongxian and Xu Wenchang alone to plan for the long term.
I am a person with great ambitions in modern thinking, and my subordinates are people with small wealth in traditional thinking, while Xu Wenchang and Hu Zongxian are in between, and their talents and means are better than themselves. If they want them, they will solve these problems.
After seeing Yang Changfan, Hu Zongxian sighed: "I thought the ship was mainly located in the East Fen and to draw the Central Plains. It seems that I was wrong."
"It's generally true, but now it's not the time. After all, the Central Plains is vast and the Ming court is powerful. It's difficult to attack and defend it. It's not as profitable as Nanyang, where gold is everywhere."
"We are the military and civilians, including the three nine states in the eastern part of Penghu, and the number of people is 100,000. Are the ships mainly relying on these 100,000 people north to Fujian and south to Southeast Asia?"
"The Ming court will not make any noise within a year, and it is enough for a few trips to and from Southeast Asia. Now that the funding for the construction of the Eastern Federation is tight, we can make up for it in person when we go to Southeast Asia."
"Nanyang has always been a place for Franchise. Does the ship owner not consider the contradictions? If it breaks or starts a war, it is probably unprofitable and will be short of military spending. Furthermore, the cannon and gun trade is our foundation, and it is mostly traded with Franchise. On the one hand, it is used for its own use, and on the other hand, it is sold with Kyushu. If the Franchise line is broken, it will be shaken."
"After the construction of the Mosswan Mansion, the first thing to do was to build military weapons. Ruzhen knew about my skills."
"The ship owner is a skillful craftsman, but he is afraid that a skilled woman will cook without rice. Li Haijun Weapons, with the support of the Ministry of Works, will not worry about craftsmen's copper and iron, but this is the Eastern Circle..."
"They are all using Fujian iron. Isn't it easy to get separated by a sea?"
"The iron ore court strictly controls it, and I'm afraid it's not so easy."
Xu Wenchang looked at the two of them and laughed secretly.
"What are you laughing at?" Hu Zongxian asked in confusion, "Where did I say the wrong thing?"
