Chapter 160 The Elder's Dissatisfaction
Meng Madman, Zhao Mazi and Li Gouzi were very dissatisfied with the matter of Xiaotian's release of Feng Tiancheng without discussing with anyone. Even Liu Laoliu was very unhappy this time, but they just didn't say it.
Three thousand taels of silver is by no means a small amount for pirates like them. Even if it is distributed equally to everyone here, one person can share at least dozens of taels of silver.
However, Yu Xiaotian didn't ask for a penny, and even pasted dozens of taels of silver and gave it to Feng Tiancheng as a road resource, so he released Feng Tiancheng, sent him to Dalian Island, and asked the Li family to find a boat going south and send him back to Guangzhou.
This practice made them a little unacceptable. After closing the door, Meng madman jumped up to Yu Xiaotian on the spot, saying that Yu Xiaotian was a prodigal.
When Zhao Mazi sent Feng Tiancheng away, he didn't even want to go to Dalian Island. He couldn't make any words and let Yu Xiaotian go to Dalian Island in person.
Li Gouzi, a timid and fearful person, sat aside and hummed angrily. After listening to Meng Madman's words, he couldn't help muttering, "That's 3,000 taels of silver! How long will it take us to spend! Even if you take it to buy a boat, you can sell two lucky boats and one more! There is no problem to buy at least three Haicang boats!"
After Yu Xiaotian sent Zheng Tiancheng away, he came back and was called here by several old guys. When he closed the door, he knew that several old guys were unhappy about this matter, so he sat down and said nothing, just asked them to complain first.
Even Liu Laoliu lowered his head without saying a word and sat aside without immediately jumping out to justify Yu Xiaotian. After all, 3,000 taels of silver have never been seen for them in their lives. Where they put it, there is a lot, almost catching up with their weight.
Anyone who thinks about it will feel pain, but Xiaotian let him go like this, so everyone can't figure it out, so they can't help but be difficult for Xiaotian.
Yu Xiaotian slowly drank tea and looked leisurely, which made Meng madmen and others angry. Meng madman jumped in front of Yu Xiaotian, patted the table and asked Xiaotian, "Helmsman, why do you have to explain to us these old guys today!" Why don't you want a good three thousand taels of silver, but don't take a penny, so let Mr. Feng go? What the hell are you going to do?"
Yu Xiaotian rolled his eyes and looked at Meng madman, and his face sank in an instant. Seeing Yu Xiaotian put down his face, Li Gouzi opened his mouth and did not dare to continue. He carefully pulled Meng madman's sleeve to let Meng madman not go too much.
Meng madman shook off Li Gouzi's hand and roared, "Get out of here!" Don't pull me! We have agreed to ask him clearly today, and you don't come!"
Yu Xiaotian slowly put the tea bowl in his hand on the table, sat up straight, and looked at Meng madman with cold eyes. Suddenly, he slapped the table heavily, making the teapots and tea bowls jump high on the table.
"Enough! Uncle Meng! Don't rely on me! Since I am the helmsman, I have the right to decide everything here! Sit down!"
Yu Xiaotian's palm shocked several old guys in the room. Li Gouzi and Zhao Mazi were so scared that they shivered fiercely. Even Meng madman was so scared that he stepped back two steps, stared dryly, opened his mouth and didn't say anything.
After a long time, Liu Laoliu said, "Lao Meng, sit down first and listen to what the helmsman wants to say!"
The Meng madman turned his head angrily and found a bench to sit down and said to Xiaotian, "Okay! Today, a steering wheel will tell us, why! Say it!"
Yu Xiaotian sneered, stood up and looked around the four old guys in the room, and snorted coldly, "What's wrong? If I don't make sense today, will you dismiss me?
Good! Then I don't care if my surname is Yu! If any of you think you can do it, come and be the helm! Do you still want to kill me for this 3,000 taels of silver?
Seeing that Yu Xiaotian was angry and actually said something to quit, the four old guys were a little panicked. They all know how capable they are. Although Liu Laoliu is knowledgeable, Meng madman is hot-tempered, Zhao Mazi is smooth, and Li Gouzi is good at calculating, but each of them It is clear that they can't control so many people at all.
Although so many people are obedient by Yu Xiaotian, it is because Yu Xiaotian should have courage and strategy, and he is also Kong Wu powerful to suppress those arrogant guys, and he is also full of tricks to treat his men, lenient and strict, so that those guys don't dare to make up.
If any of them came to be the helmsman, it is estimated that in a few days, these guys will rebel, so as soon as Yu Xiaotian threatened to quit, these four old guys suddenly withered.
Liu Laoliu quickly said, "Xiaotian, you can't say this! Lao Meng and others just wanted to know why you didn't want the ransom and let Mr. Feng go! How can you force you not to do this helmsman? Don't think too much and calm down!"
Zhao Mazi also said quickly, "Steering, calm your anger! Lao Meng, your voice is too loud. What can't you say slowly? If you jump at any time, is the sound of the helm lower than your voice? Stop it, rudder, we haven't thought about those things!"
Li Gouzi also said quickly, "The helmsman, you still have to be in charge of this family. We old guys just care about silver, but it's meaningless. If you want to ask the helmsman to tell us, that's all!"
As soon as he heard that Yu Xiaotian didn't do it, Meng madman immediately withered like frost and eggplant, hooked his head and muttered, "Who said he won't let you do the helm? Aren't we just worried about silver? We can't figure it out! Why don't you just tell us? Anyway, I, Meng madman, didn't want to be this helmsman, so I can't afford to worry about it!"
Yu Xiaotian saw that he scared several old guys, and then his face slowed down a little. He sat down angrily and said to them, "It's my fault to let Master Feng go this time without discussing with you in advance! I'll make amends to some uncles!" With that, he hugged them.
Several old guys quickly waved their hands and said they were afraid.
Yu Xiaotian continued: "Don't just look in front of you. This is not the first time I have said this sentence to you, nor is it the first time I have said this sentence to everyone on the island!
In front of us, we let him go and made 3,000 taels less silver, but have you thought about it? At present, our situation is not optimistic, and it can't be solved by silver.
Think about it, this time the shark gang suffered losses with the mixed river dragon fire, so Mazu Island, that is, the area of Nangantang and Beigantang, is equivalent to being taken away by the mixed river dragon!
Next, although the mixed river dragon may not be able to go south, it will gradually encroach on the south. If the shark gang can't reverse the decline in a short time, many people nearby may turn to the mixed river dragon!
But we can't do it. We were forced here by the mixed river dragon before. If we want to join him, it's better to join them. And now we help sharks. This time, we also did two or three ships of mixed river dragons, which offended the mixed river dragon.
So we can't turn to the mixed river dragon, so next, some of the nearby colleagues may become our enemies. Maybe we can stand firm in this area in the future!
At present, although our manpower is not too few, and the ship is easy to handle. We have the Sea Wolf and the walrus. Although the walrus is unusable, the Seal will soon be repaired. As long as the Seal is put into the water, we can quickly grab one or two larger ships. This is not a problem.
But have you thought about it? What do we lack the most? What we lack the most is the cannon! This time, I went to follow the Shark Gang and the mixed river dragon fire, and I saw that our cannons were not useful at all.
So we want better cannons and more powerful cannons! The ship is available. Where can I get the cannon? Do you just rely on grabbing? How many good guns are there on the merchant ship?
Zhao Mazi said tentatively, "That's right, but isn't there shopkeeper Li? If we can't, ask Manager Li to help us buy it!"
"Hmm! It's easy to say! I don't know who Manager Li is, or you don't know. Although he is good to us, he always keeps his hand when working for us! Haven't you seen this clearly?
I have already mentioned to them that I wanted to ask them to help with a few cannons, but he pushed three obstacles and four times. So far, he has sent us five birds. What can this do?
So we all count on the Li family, and we can only find another way! You all remember that eggs can't be put in a basket, and we must have another line to solve the problem for us!
And this Guangzhou Feng family is just an opportunity! As you all know, the Feng family has a lot of business in Guangdong, with porcelain kilns, boat houses, iron works, and also doing business at sea!
Although we can knock 3,000 taels of silver from the Feng family, if we get these 3,000 taels of silver, it can only be bought and sold in a hammer. In the future, it will be equivalent to having a grudge against the Feng family. Don't deal with them at all!
And Feng's iron work is exactly what I like. Their iron work can be used to cast cannons. If we can build a friendship with them, it is equivalent to directly finding a seller. If you want to buy cannons in the future, what's the problem?
With a good cannon, let's make a few good boats in the future. Can't we walk across the sea? How can we still be as worried every day, afraid that others will come to our trouble?
I said that sooner or later, we will go back to Dahuangdao. Can we buy a boat back to Dahuangdao with 3,000 taels of silver? Humph!"
Yu Xiaotian knocked on the table with his fingers, explained his thoughts to the old guys one by one, and then snorted coldly again.
After listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, several old guys put together in their hearts and felt that it was really reasonable. Although the Li family was good to them on the surface, they were only limited to business. In terms of the supply of guns, they have never helped them much. They always pushed three obstacles for various reasons. To be perfunctory.
Yu Xiaotian made it clear that the boat is easy to handle, but the cannon is not easy to handle. It is definitely not good to rely on the Li family, so the Feng family is the same way, 3,000 taels of silver. It is also cost-effective to buy such a road, saving high prices from others* and being slaughtered by others.
