Chapter 135 Demarcation

After listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, Yan Siqi was immediately overjoyed. Originally, he wanted to pay some money to buy the road and do the business, but Yu Xiaotian avoided his road money in one sentence and showed him a better way to ship goods. It turned out that there were so many shops on Nanri Island, so what else? How about going to Fuzhou to ship the goods?

What's more, this is Nanri Island, which is Yu Xiaotian's territory. The merchant's receipt and shipment here must depend on Yu Xiaotian's face. If he makes friends with Yu Xiaotian, then shipping and receiving goods here must be more appropriate than his price in Fuzhou or Quanzhou.

So even if Yan Siqi agreed, he got up and thanked Xiaotian repeatedly. Yu Xiaotian saw that the time was still early, so he asked Liu Wang to take Yan Siqi and several of his men to go down to the business stack area and inquire about the market first. In addition, he told the merchants that this Yan's family was Yu's friend and had to take care of the price. Some.

After thanking him again, Yan Siqi followed Liu Wang to the commercial warehouse area. At noon, Yu Xiaotian sent people to hold a banquet to entertain Yan Siqi and his party and asked him about his situation in the commercial warehouse area.

"Thank you for your hospitality! I really didn't expect it! The business warehouse area on Nanri Island is so lively. After my brothers went there, they were so lingering that they didn't know what to do for a while! Haha! These guys haven't seen women for months, and they dare not smell a little coquettishness! Ha ha!

As for the price, the price of Maoshengyuan mentioned by the master is indeed quite fair. To be honest, the price offered by Maoshengyuan to Yan is much higher than that offered to Yan by the man surnamed Lei in Fuzhou at the beginning! Let's not say anything else. In the future, if I Yan ship the goods, I will come here!"

Yan Siqi said to Xiaotian with a smile on her face.

Yu Xiaotian nodded and smiled, "It seems that I still have a little thin face!" In this case, Brother Yan is also welcome to trade here. Yu doesn't dare to say anything else, but as long as it is Yu's territory, Yu can ensure the safety of Brother Yan's wealth, and Yu can guarantee the transaction here. If there is a problem with the settlement, you can find Yu!"

When Yan Siqi heard this, he was even more overjoyed. He nodded repeatedly and said yes, and took out a gift list from his arms and handed it to Yu Xiaotian.

"In the head, Yan came here for the first time and was treated like this. Yan is really inexhaustible, and there is nothing else to thank him. He can only choose something worthless on the ship to show his feelings. I hope that the big owner will not dislike it and laugh at it!"

Yu Xiaotian was also welcome. After receiving the gift list, he lowered his head and took a general look. There were 300 taels of silver on the gift list, ten finely cast Japanese knives, five Japanese iron cannons, folding fans, wood carvings, lacquer plates and other items, most of which are basically Japanese specialties. It is estimated that Yan Siqi and others are all from Japan at the beginning. Ben brought it here.

Now these things are given as gifts by Yan Siqi to Yu Xiaotian.

Although Yu Xiaotian does not like Japanese knives, when people from his era see this knife, they often think of Japan's war of aggression against China. There are countless Chinese people who died under this kind of Japanese sword, so Yu Xiaotian has a sense of resistance to this kind of Japanese sword.

But on the other hand, he has to admit that the Japanese knife is indeed a very good knife. During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, China created very high sword-building skills. Even if the Tang knives, Mo knives and other swords casted are unparalleled in the world, at least they can Laugh at the heroes.

After the little devils were repaired by the Tang Dynasty, they knew the power of the Tang Dynasty, so they sent a large number of international students (Tang envoys) to our Tang Dynasty to learn various technologies and cultures. As a result, they stole the casting skills of Tang Dao.

Unfortunately, after the collapse of the Tang Dynasty in Chinese history, there have been repeated wars in Chinese history. Many Chinese people's proud skills have gradually lost their skills in such a chaotic era and have not been passed down, so that in this era, no one knows the real stranger. What does the knife look like?

However, the method of making the Tang knife was stolen by the craftsman of the little devil and passed it down perfectly. By the Ming Dynasty, the quality of the swords cast in China had reached a considerable distance from the Japanese knives cast by the Japanese people. In addition, the Japanese pirates ran rampant along the coast of China during the Ming Dynasty, giving the Ming Dynasty. The surname caused huge losses, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty changed their colors when they mentioned the Japanese pirates and the Japanese knives they used, as well as their fierce knife method.

But it is undeniable that the Japanese sword has become a very good commodity. Among the goods exported by the little devils every year, the Japanese sword is a very important commodity, which is quite popular among the good martial artists of the Ming Dynasty. Even some scribes like to hang it on the wall.

And it is certain that these Japanese knives brought by Yan Siqi from Japan are basically from good craftsmen. It is already quite a handwriting to give Yu Xiaotian ten at a time.

As for the other things on the gift list, the special one is the kind of iron cannon produced by Japan. This kind of Japanese iron cannon is actually a musket.

The first country to produce muskets in Asia was not China, but the Japanese. They came into contact with Western muskets earlier than Chinese craftsmen, and learned to make such muskets, called iron cannons, which were equipped with a large number of their armed forces. During the Sino-Japanese War during the Wanli period, the Ming army was once among the little devils. Iron cannons suffered great losses in front of them. If the Ming army and artillery had not had a great advantage, it would have been really not been easy to fight in the first war!

Nowadays, although the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty have also imitated and improved the development of bird guns, even the sharpers and multi-tube * Thunder guns, the iron cannons of Japan are also famous and are highly sought after by pirates in the coastal areas.

This time, Yan Siqi sent Yu Xiaotian five Japanese iron cannons, which shows that he is also very sincere about making friends with Yu Xiaotian. Otherwise, he would not have taken out so many good things for Yu Xiaotian.

Unfortunately, now this kind of Japanese iron cannon has become a synonym for garbage in the eyes of Xiaotian. If it were more than a year ago, if someone had given him a few guys, I guess he would be grateful, but now he has basically achieved * self-sufficiency, and it is still beyond the flint of this era. Guns, this kind of Japanese iron cannon naturally look down on you.

Even the kind of musket used by the Portuguese, Spaniards and the Dutch are still not rare.

However, Yu Xiaotian is still ungratic for Yan Siqi's deliberate kindness. Both of them now want to make friends with each other, and both of them are willing to cooperate with each other, so the next thing is much easier.

After Yu Xiaotian happily accepted the gift from Yan Siqi, he greeted his men and accompanied Yan Siqi's men to push a glass and drink. The atmosphere on both sides was quite good, and they were both pirates and had a relatively bold temperament. Now people on both sides want to make friends with each other, so naturally they drink this wine. It has to be happy.

During the banquet, Yu Xiaotian also revealed his plan to the northern part of Taiwan Member Island to Yan Siqi. Yan Siqi already knew that Yu Xiaotian occupied Jilong Bay, so he had guessed that Yu Xiaotian actually had the same idea as him, that is, he wanted to occupy a place on Taiyuan Island as their old camp.

Now Yu Xiaotian told him that in addition to Jilong Bay, the sea wolf also occupied a place in the big river in the north. After hearing this, even if he nodded repeatedly and said yes, Yan Siqi was willing to cooperate with Yu Xiaotian to operate Taiwan Island in the future.

And Yan Siqi also said that he was willing to take the area of the Bengang where he is currently located, from the north of the unknown stream in the middle of Taiwan Yuan Island as the territory of the sea wolf. Yan Siqi and his men will never reach out to the north of the big stream in the future.

The reason why Yan Siqi is willing to make such a statement is that in his eyes, Taiwan Island is really too big. The place he currently occupies is not small, which can't be filled by tens of thousands of people. No matter how big he develops in the future, he may not be able to occupy the whole Taiwan Island.

So instead of having a bad relationship with Yu Xiaotian because of the problem of the territory, it is better to be more generous and govern directly with the sea wolf on Taiwan member's island, so as to avoid any conflict between the two sides in the future.

Another reason is that after he came to Nanri Island, he found that this group of sea wolves were more powerful than he thought. They were not only strong, but also the sea wolves were well trained and not ordinary pirates at all. Therefore, Yan Siqi wanted to make friends with Xiaotian and let themselves be more help. No one knows what will happen at sea in the future. There are as many pirates on the coast of Daming now. If he can make friends with sea wolves, it will undoubtedly be quite helpful for him to move in the Taiwan Strait in the future.

So Yan Siqi deliberately lowered his posture and took the initiative to govern with the sea wolf, and became friends with the sea wolf in the future.

Yu Xiaotian thought about this, asked someone to get a general topographic map of Taiwan Island, found the location of a river on it, pointed out and said to Yan Siqi, "Brother Yan! Is the big stream you are talking about this river?

Yan Siqi looked at the map and found that this map was quite well drawn. Basically * the general terrain of the whole Taiyuan Island was drawn, and some major rivers and mountains along the coast were also roughly marked, so he was quite surprised. After carefully looking for his current position, he judged Yu Xiaotian Pointing to the location of the river, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Not bad! This is the big stream! The local natives call it Dadu Creek. If the head of the family is willing, how about we take this as the boundary?

Yu Xiaotian touched his chin and smiled, nodded, "Brother Yan has a good vision! Ha ha! From this Dadu River to the south, it is a plain with a flat river, which is really suitable for reclamation. To the north of Dadu River, there are mostly hills, and there are not as many fertile fields in the south!"
