Chapter 152 - 4

"With Lord Zhao's temperament, even if he is not elected as the head of the general principles, he will try his best to get the court to recognize the compensation clause."

Tang Qiantang disagreed and said, "I think it's a bit unnecessary to recommend the general principles and instead put him on the fire."

"From the eyes, it's really unnecessary. However, in the long run, it's very necessary." Yan Yuexi took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said lightly, "No one is a fool. What if the right to sail and trade west of Longzhu Island is obtained? The long journey is not so easy to connect. Even a large business company has to set up strongholds along the way to win over overseas barbarians. These are not a overnight achievement. General Zhao can talk to us this time, but it's not his business next time, but what about?"

"The next time the person in charge is to focus on winning over it, why bother..."

"But, after passing this village, there is really no such store."

Yan Yuexi Road: "Old Tang, we have been doing business for so many years and we all know that we will make a big deal. It is a good time, place and people. There is no right position in the Southwest Sea. Now there is no suitable position except Zhao Xingde." He looked at Tang Qiantang's disbelieving eyes and listed them one by one, "According to yours, the court will change a person in charge in the future, and we will focus on him, but does he really dare to fight against the court for us or even turn against us? Further, he really dares to do this, but does he have this ability? If he really has such great ability, can he be like Zhao Xingde, just a general guide who respects the reputation and does not care about the details, and turn us into his private subordinates or money bags? No, no one will do this."

"Now? It may not be that it is not for the introduction of the wolf into the house," Tang Qiantang retorted himself, "It is hard to know the person and the face!"

"That's true. After Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors, Wang Mang was not humble to usurp the times." Yan Yuexi nodded, but shook his head again, "However, people are invisible. We always have the greater the profits of doing business, the greater the risk we have to take. Since Zhao Xingde posted the post, he has done so many things and made so many words. Like other shopkeepers, I listened to his words and looked at his actions and felt that this person's temperament was not a hero who was right and wrong. He had never done anything cruel and robbed before." He shook his head and said to himself, "Of course, if we see it, we deserve it."

"Oh--" At this point, Tang Qiantang had to sigh, "It would be great if the military government did not issue this order.

Fu Haixing has always kept a distance from the battles in the five palaces.

However, this is not the case. The shopkeepers of Fuhaixing are ignored by the storms in the court. On the contrary, any capable shopkeeper of Fuhaixing is very sensitive to the movements of the Xia court. Otherwise, a major storm might have ruined his decades of hard work. Yanyuexi travels between Dunhuang, Chang'an and Luoyang for many years. Undercurrents in the court of Xia. Many people have complained about the Huguo Mansion, and Yanyuexi has heard of it. To be fair, he also complains about the Huguo Mansion, but he just keeps a distance from "those people" carefully.

"It's not surprising that the Guardian Government made such a decision."

Yan Yuexi whispered: "However, the situation that leads to such a situation must have been beyond the expectations of some people."

The two are old, and Tang Qiantang rarely hears him speak in such a gloating tone.

"'The farmer feeds the whole country, and merchants and craftsmen are parasitic on the farmer's husband. The farmer can support himself and grow and eat by himself. They don't need merchants at all, but merchants and craftsmen cannot leave the farmer's husband. Soldiers come from farmers who support themselves and should protect farmers first. Other merchants and craftsmen and scholars are second...'" Yan Yuexi curled his lips and shook his head and said, "A big one is the best place to protect farmers, and other merchants and craftsmen are the best place to be...'" Yan Yuexi curled his lips and shook his head.

The wood used to make masts is used to use giant wood from Liaodong, and the ribs and keels are used to use Lingnan iron wood. Some iron bones are made from Ezhou iron yard. The nails are from Bianliang iron yard. The oars are produced from Yangzhou shipbuilding yard. The canvas are from the Southeast silk and satin yard. The fabrication is also in Yangzhou. How much work is used to vain and how many merchants are required to run around. Now, the Southwest Sea Merchants have recommended Zhao Xingde together. I want to see how they let the farmers build ships and go to sea to fight?"

"But," Tang Qiantang said worriedly, "The Guguo Mansion will not be able to rest easily like this."

"Don't worry too much," Yan Yuexi looked around. Other marine merchants in Kanto were still waiting with worry. Someone was whispering, but no one noticed them. Yan Yuexi lowered his voice again and leaned over to Tang Qiantang and said, "Depending on the situation, something big must have happened in the river. In the face of such huge waves, no matter who wins or loses, no one will pay attention to us."

"Ah?" Tang Qiantang widened his eyes in surprise, and a premonition of not thinking about it.

He was about to ask what happened, but at this moment, the crowd suddenly became turbulent and someone shouted: "Here comes out!"

"Sir Xu, You Dongjia, what's the result?"

Tang Qiantang looked up and saw Xu Xiaoyun and You Yongjie walking out of the boat building.

Xu Xiaoyun's face was as deep as water, but there was no clue, but You Yongjie's face was filled with joy.

The two walked to the railings of the boat building. Before they could go downstairs, You Yongjie shouted to the urgently asked questions: "Everyone, Lord Zhao promised to lead the general outline for us!" As soon as he finished speaking, a jubilant sound rang out on the front deck of the boat building, and someone took a photo to celebrate.

"It's saved!" "It's great!"

"Blessed by God and Buddha, there is finally a turning point!"

Although the recruitment of ships severely hit the interests of maritime merchants, Zhao Xingde agreed to serve as the head of the general outline and promised the conditions for compensation, which can be regarded as an explanation to the people of money and people, and there is still a chance to turn defeat into victory in the future.

Many sea merchants are people who have experienced the storm for a long time, and some have experienced it. Since the previous escape from death, most people have chanted the blessing of God and Buddha, but unlike now, so many people are happy together. You Yongjie smiled, and Xu Xiaoyun couldn't help but smile a little. He thought it would take a lot of trouble, but he thought of some words of persuasion. However, Zhao Xingde only proposed a few small modifications to the charter of the maritime merchant alliance, so he agreed, and no other officers opposed it. The process was smooth, even Xu Xiaoyun had unexpectedly expected it.

"Lord Zhao is in a suspicious place, why should he agree to this position of the title of the nameless general principles?"

Feng Mi stood beside Zhao Xingde and looked at the sea merchants who were celebrating on the deck thoughtfully. According to reason, Zhao Xingde had a feud with the Xia court, which was exactly what the young Song officials wanted. However, perhaps because they were staying in the navy for a long time. Under Zhao Xingde's intentional arrangement, Feng Mi, Ma Yuan and others had a very close relationship with Gao Su, Liu Zhijian and other Xia officials. Gradually, they had less strangeness and hostility to each other, so they did not want the two countries to get into evil. When Zhao Xingde carried out the military order to recruit ships, the officers did not insist on opposing it.

"The expansion of the sea border is a century-old career. If you don't have perseverance and give up halfway, it would be a pity."

Zhao Xingde seemed to sigh and answer, and he turned his head and said to Zhou He on the other side: "Brother Zhou, I have been with you the day before yesterday. After this battle, I will let Nanshan go, unarmed my armor and return to the fields, cultivate myself and manage my family, and enjoy studying. Unfortunately, if I withdraw, I will not kill Boren, and Boren will die for me. I have these many ties on my body, and I will not be able to retreat bravely."

Zhou He nodded and was speechless.

The relationship between Zhao Xingde and these merchants in the Song Dynasty was like his old subordinates from Henan and Jingdong. Only he could gather these people together, not fall apart, nor become the flesh of the powerful mouths of all parties. If others were others, Zhou He would definitely suspect that he was a hero with ulterior motives and used it as the basis for becoming the king and emperor. However, Zhou He knew clearly about Zhao Xingde that Zhao Xingde did not have greater ambitions than Chen Dong or Deng Su. He just did what he thought he should do.

"Thank you, Lord Zhao!" "We will pay homage to General Zhao!" The merchant gathered on the deck shouted at the boat building.

"Thank you, Lord Zhao, for your accomplishment!"

Before we knew it, the sunset was setting, and the warm light seemed to be a layer of blur, and a soft cloak enveloped Zhao Xingde.
