Chapter 83 Test

Li Yi took the list and opened it. His eyes suddenly showed a surprised look. Because Yu Xiaotian learned a lesson this time, he did not dare to write the list with a bald brush. Instead, he found a charcoal, cut it into a pencil, wrapped it in a cloth, used it, and used it as a pencil. He neatly made a list.

With this used hard pen, his font looks much more beautiful. His handwriting is hard and chic, and the back of the paper is strong. The whole list also looks clean and refreshing. Just because of the different writing habits, the format he uses is very different from the top-down writing format of this era, but it looks better than the previous one. The list is much better.

This can't help but surprise Li Yi, who has seen too much of Xiaotian's "calligraphy". He doesn't understand why Yu Xiaotian has grown so much in just a few days.

However, this list was still written in Simplified Chinese by Yu Xiaotian. In Li Yi's eyes, there were still typos, which made Li Yi believe that this list was still written by Yu Xiaotian. Otherwise, he thought that Yu Xiaotian must have found someone to write for him!

Li Yi was patient, read the list from beginning to end, then put it on the table in front of him, and said with a difficult face: " According to the requirements of the shopkeeper, I, Li, should respond to my request!" But Li has read this list! Most of them are easy to say. Cowhide, wood, iron, tools, grain and even knives and guns are easy to do. Li will soon be ready for you!

But this bird gun and Fran machine fire gun... In addition, this cannon can't be got casually. Even if Li is willing, it's not easy to get it!

In addition, the court is very strict with saltpeter, and sulfur is also very difficult to deal with! This..."

Speaking of this, Li Yi shook his head and showed a difficult face.

Yu Xiaotian looked at Li Yi's expression and smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Li is in trouble, and I naturally understand this!" After all, firearms are the most important weapon of the country, and it is normal for the government to supervise strictly!

But Shopkeeper Li, it's not that I deliberately embarrass you, but that we have limited manpower at present. If we want to act at sea next, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve a big deal just by our manpower at present! Since we want to do business longer in the future, I'm afraid that without these things, we will also have a foothold!

So no matter what, this matter still needs to bother Manager Li! If these guns are really difficult to handle, at least the saltpetre sulfur should help us solve some!

Since we want to deal with each other for a long time, it's better to say something openly!

In addition, Yu heard that at present, Sichuan and other places are in chaos. Zhejiang has flooded during this period, and there are many refugees who have fled to Fujian, but he is willing to take this opportunity to recruit a group of people! It's better to recruit some craftsmen, especially blacksmiths, so that we can do a lot easier!"

Hearing Yu Xiaotian's mention of recruiting people, Manager Li immediately shook his head and said, "Mr. Li understands what you said!" Since that's all, Li won't refuse. Li is really embarrassed now, and it's really not easy to do it!

At present, although some merchants on land are also secretly recruiting blacksmiths to cast cannons, Fujian is not as good as Guangdong. Guangdong is the best iron materials and the best quality of the cast cannons, but it is difficult for ordinary people to buy them. They can only spend a lot of money to entrust people to purchase them in Guangzhou. This It will take a long time! If it is necessary to be the head of the family, it is not impossible, but it will take a long time to prepare!

As for saltpeter sulfur, Li can find a way to get some for Yu's home recently. At the latest ten days, Yu's home can come here to pick up the goods! As for those other things, they are easy to do. Within three days, they can be handed over to the house to take away!

But the head of the house wants to recruit people on land, please forgive me for not being able to help! You should know that this kind of thing can only be done secretly. The Li family is engaged in business. Once it is involved in recruiting people for you and is detected, the Li family may be killed by the government! Please forgive Li for not taking this kind of thing!"

After listening to Manager Li's words, Yu Xiaotian was a little disappointed, but a little helpless. After all, the Li family is a businessman, and it's okay to secretly trade with these pirates as the owner of the nest. Now according to Liu Laoliu, many big merchants on the shore are actually secretly dealing with pirates at sea. The Li family is no exception. It's okay to help them buy some goods.

However, if the Li family wants to recruit their subordinates on the shore, once this kind of thing is known, the government will not sit idly and will certainly be detrimental to the Li family, so it is normal for Li Yi to refuse his request.

Yu Xiaotian was about to thank Li Yi. When he put down this matter, Li Yi suddenly said, "But it depends on the face of Li's benefactor. Li can give a piece of advice to Yu. I don't know whether Yu wants to listen to it or not!"

After hearing this, Yu Xiaotian was overjoyed and nodded quickly and said, "Shopkeeper Li has something to say! Yu is naturally willing to listen!"

After drinking a glass of wine, Li Yi took a handkerchief and touched his hand and said, "To be honest, from this list, Li can see that the head is a person with great ambition. After shipping, he is not thinking about spending wine, but focusing on replenishing supplies!

Li has also met several friends at sea, but you are the only one like Yu! So from this point alone, it can be seen that the head of the family is not the kind of person who only knows how to accumulate wealth!

At present, don't look at the fact that you are very weak, but this is also what Li value to the head!

But Li wants to advise the head of the family that you can't rush to achieve this matter. Although you want to recruit more people, it is not enough to recruit people on land!

At present, I know one thing. There are many fleeing and exiles in Fuzhou Prefecture, but the government has not given relief at present, and the exiles are not allowed to enter the city in the near future to prevent chaos in the city.

So some people who have just entered the country are mostly circulating in the countryside. Li can't intervene in this kind of recruitment, but it's not necessarily that you can't do it!

Although you killed Jiang Baihu in Fu'an County, this matter did not disturb much. The Fuzhou government did not wait for you to be wanted. You can send people ashore and find a way to recruit some exiles to join the gang. Li can secretly send someone to help you in this matter, but it must not let anyone know that the Li family intervened in this matter. !

In addition, there are also some exiles in the Lianjiang area, because they robbed the counters of grain merchants in the city and were arrested by the government and expelled from the county. If you are strong enough, you can rescue them!

This matter is related to the safety of the Li family, and I hope you can forgive me! As for what to do, please think about it yourself. Li can only help here!"

After listening to this, Yu Xiaotian was immediately in a good mood. Although Li Yi refused to intervene directly, he showed him a way out and said that he could help secretly, so this matter was much easier.

So Yu Xiaotian quickly got up and thanked Li Yi. After drinking again, Yu Xiaotian returned the 500 taels of silver to Li Yi again as the payment for the things they needed this time. Li Yi was not polite, saying that the favor returned to the favor and the business returned to the business. He received the money. At this time, Yu Xiao He didn't stay here any longer and said goodbye to Li Yi.

Li Yi did not stay with him either. He secretly told him that Xiuer had properly arranged and stayed on Dalian Island for the time being. Yu Xiaotian could come here to take her away at any time.

Yu Xiaotian was really embarrassed about this. He nodded and agreed, and Li Yi would hand over some of the goods they had at hand, or the goods that other merchants on Dalian Island, directly handed over to Yu Xiaotian, loaded the cargo ship on the dock, and the rest of the things owed. It was agreed to come to Dayian Island to pick up the goods ten days after filial piety.

After sending Yu Xiaotian away, Li Yi returned to the hall. The stew manager Li also followed and asked Li Yi, "The shopkeeper, after seeing this head today, I don't know what the shopkeeper thinks of this person?"

Li Yi sat on a big chair, picked up the list that Yu Xiaotian made for him again, raised his hand and said, "That's good! You are good at knowing people! Look at him very accurately! After seeing this person today, it can be seen that this person surnamed Yu is not a general person. This person is second only by his height and long arms. Today, when drinking with him, Yu deliberately talked about various things with him. It can be seen that this person is well-informed, bold and insightful, and is quite far-sighted!

He is very insight into the construction of slaves in Liaodong alone. He said that Jiannu has been the strong enemy of our Ming Dynasty, and at present, the court has been unable to contain the construction of slaves, and the northwest of Guannei will be in chaos!

This surprised me very much! Although Zhao Mazi didn't say anything about this person's origin, and it's inconvenient for us to ask more, I can still see that this person is probably not a land person, because he knows very little about many small things on land, and even in his speech, he is very different from ordinary people!

This makes me even more strange. How could he know what is far away in the northwest? You should know that at present, there are many droughts in the northwest this year, and there have been a lot of exiles, but few people in Fujian know about this kind of thing. Even the government don't pay attention to it, but he just said in the banquet that the northwest exiles are in chaos. Sooner or later, it will be the trouble of today's court.

If I hadn't seen a person from Shaanxi a few days ago, I wouldn't have known that the disaster in Shaanxi had been so serious, but it was too surprising that Yu Xiaotian could know this!

Today, with the list he made for us, we can see that this person wants to be bigger at sea, not just satisfied with a moment's need!

The materials he listed on this list are all things that can enhance his strength, and the amount of food is much higher than I expected according to their number! It can be seen that this person is not stingy with yellow and white things, but knows the reserve!

In addition, he proposed that he wanted us to recruit people for him, which shows that this person will not be satisfied with such a situation at all and wants to sit on the sea in the future!

So, we are lucky to know such a person! In the future, you should pay more attention to their movements. As for their goods, you can get a discount of the price. If they have any special needs, try to satisfy them! I'd like to see if this person surnamed Yu can achieve a career!"

The stewor Li nodded quickly and said, "Please rest assured! I will keep an easy look! In this case, why did the shopkeeper refuse the bird and Franco machineman* they wanted today? Don't we also have a few cannons now? Why don't you give it to them?"

Li Yi looked at stewul Li and smiled and said, "There are some things that let them do better slowly first. If you give them all those good things at once, it will make them feel that it is too easy to do things!" Second, it will make them realize that our road is too wide! It's better to do it step by step! The matter of saltpeter and sulfur can be handled for them. I'm curious. If they want these things, will they mix gunpowder? This surname Yu interests me very much!" ......
