Chapter 160 Conspiracy 1
In the days after the Spring Festival, Chu Cailao discussed with his men on Dongshan Island how to deal with this sea wolf.
Chu Cai is about 50 years old. He is relatively thin and has gray hair, but he is quite combed. He is luxurious. He wears a waist belt with a sheep fat jade belt buckle, and his clothes are inlaid with gold and hanging silver. He always holds a Hetianyu's spin handle in his hand, and a pair of python boots under his feet. However, these clothes can't hide the banditry in his body. No matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like a serious rich man, and his whole body is full of a feeling of upstart.
At this time, in addition to Mr. Chu Cai, who was sitting at the top, there were also more than a dozen shopkeepers and two master-like people in his account, who were noisy.
"Big shopkeeper, what can I say about this matter? Since Yu did this, he simply gathered the brothers and went to end the Nanri Island!" A shopkeeper said to Mr. Chu Cai, who was lying on the soft couch at the bottom.
Obviously, there are many people who agree with his opinion in the account. Some people immediately help and express their support. These people are basically radicals, angry, prefer to use force, and have a grumpy temper.
But some people also shook their heads to say that it was inappropriate to do so.
"Is it inappropriate! Although this surname Yu acts like this, it is really not authentic enough! It should be well punished, but we don't know much about its situation now. We don't know how many sea wolves have boats and how many people there are!
If you act rashly, you may suffer losses, and thousands of people will consume more food every day.
At this time, we have just finished the Spring Festival, and we don't have a lot of food. In case we don't attack Nanri Island, we are most afraid of procrastination. Once we don't have enough food, I'm afraid there will be chaos!
So according to what I saw, it's better to send someone to find the surname Yu first and ask him to give us an explanation. In addition, it's not too late to send someone to inquire about the strength of the sea wolf and touch their background, and then decide what to do it!"
A shopkeeper shook his head and said that his words were also supported by some people, and this group of people were relatively stable and would consider it more or less.
Mr. Chu Cai squinted and coiled He Tianyu's handle with his hand, never saying a word, listening to his men arguing below.
It's not that he, a big shopkeeper, has no opinion. This is exactly the old plan of Mr. Chu Cai. As a big master who has been rampant on the sea for so many years and controls dozens of shopkeepers, large and small, it is naturally impossible without any means.
For so many years, Chu Cai has already found that the head of the family can't be in a hurry to show what he is thinking. More often, he has to be unpredictable, so that his subordinates can't guess what he is thinking. In this way, it seems that he has a city government, and his men respect him more.
In fact, the following people have said what they should say in the past two days. Mr. Chu Cai has never expressed his position, but he silently calculated in his heart and let the people below be anxious.
After listening to the quarrel between her men, Chu Cai opened her eyes and waved her hand and said, "Okay, don't argue. That's all for today. You go down!"
These shopkeepers still didn't make a formal statement, and they couldn't guess what his idea was, so they could only get up and retreat with their fists.
When these shopkeepers came out of the account and returned to their own station, Chu Cailao sat up straight, and his eyes flashed coldly, revealing his shrewdness.
"Hum! A bunch of idiots! Don't they think I can't think of these things?" Mr. Chu picked up a glass of wine from a delicate mahogany beside him, drank it down, stretched out hard, put down his glass and stood up.
At this time, a slightly fat middle-aged man said, "Presumably the big head must have been decided for a long time!"
Mr. Chu Cai slowly paced back and forth in the big bill, nodded and said, "Of course! In fact, some of them are right. Although this sea wolf should clean up well, it is obviously not the best strategy to go so hastily!
I have heard of this sea wolf, but I didn't pay much attention to him before. Before that, I only knew that this person emerged quickly. In the past, Fuzhou was Zhang Hu's territory. Zhang Hu had no ambition and should have been unlucky!
Originally, Zhang Hu was quite respectful to me, and I didn't look at his territory, so over the years, he hasn't had much contact with him!
Last year, I just heard that this tiger was suddenly killed, and such a person surnamed Yu came out to occupy Nanri Island and became the new leader in Fuzhou!
Later, you should remember that I sent someone to inquire about this matter, and it turned out that it turned out that several of Zhang Hu's brothers betrayed Zhang Hu and merged with this surname Yu to put Zhang Hu to death.
But I have never figured out why these old brothers of Zhang Hu chose such an unknown person to work and did not hesitate to give up Zhang Hu's big family business to this surname Yu.
Later, because it was none of my business, I didn't ask too much about it, but half a year ago, I heard that this Yu's old friend Zhang Hu and Chen Jiu, who was playing around Funing, took it at one fell swoop, and I couldn't help but be a little curious!
So he sent someone to inquire, only to know that this surname Yu was really a powerful role. In fact, he didn't go to sea for a long time. In the past, he was just a small stock with more than 20 subordinates, occupying an inconspicuous island, but in just more than half a year, he rose in the area of Fuzhou and became the largest besides Zhang Hu. One.
Zhang Hu and his brothers turned against each other and forced his brothers to find another way out, so they hung up the surnamed Yu, who united with other small colleagues in Fuzhou. First, he lured Zhang Hu out. He personally led people to fight with him at sea, but secretly sent a brother who betrayed Zhang Hu to take Zhang Hu's The back road has been copied!
When Zhang Hu returned to Dazhai, he learned that the old nest had been copied and vomited blood on the spot, so that his men were all captured by the surname Yu.
Chen Jiu has been coveting the territory around Fuzhou. He has been involved with Zhang Hu many times before. After being the head of Yu, he began to think about Chen Jiu.
Half a year ago, he lured Chen Jiu to go south and used the old method. First, he lured Chen Jiu to fight, and then led his troops to take out Chen Jiu's old camp. Then he waved his division to block Chen Jiu, who hurried back, and beat Chen Jiu's fleet in one fell swoop. Later, he forced a few small groups of Chen Jiu to fight against Chen Jiu and help They caught Chen Jiu and forced him to death.
It took less than two years to pocket the whole territory in Fuzhou and Funing, so this person is by no means as simple as you think.
If we want to deal with this surname Yu, we have to be more careful. Don't be careless for a moment. On the contrary, we will laugh at him at that time! I'm afraid there's no place for my old Chu Cai's face!"
After listening to Chu Cai's words, the slightly fat middle-aged man nodded and said, "The big boss is really thoughtful! I admire you!
I have also heard of this surname Yu. It is said that this person is not very old. He is only 20 years old now. He is so resourceful. In less than two years, he has bought such a big family business, which is really surprising!
And according to the rumors of businessmen and fishermen on the other side of Fuzhou, this person acted very different from us. After this person became the head of the family, he changed the previous practice of his subordinates, and his opponents were extremely strict, rarely attacked and plundered coastal areas. He also vigorously purged small shares of peers on his territory and was also kind to the people around the territory.
There is nothing wrong with our work in this way, but it's quite chivalrous! It's really an alien. Many coastal fishermen in Fuzhou call him a great good man! Ha ha! It's funny!
And it is said that this man is very good at drilling and not allowing his men to plunder the passing ships on his territory. Instead, he blocked the channel and started a business of collecting money. It is said that all merchant ships passing through his territory have to pay him a large amount of tolls every year. As long as anyone pays him the toll, he will ensure that they The ship traveled freely on his territory and even protected these merchant ships.
forced some colleagues to find another way out, and some people simply threw themselves under his command.
Moreover, this person also attracted a lot of investment on his Nanri Island, attracting many merchants to build a business stack on Nanri Island. He is responsible for providing protection for the merchants. Merchants can rest assured to do business on his Nanri Island, and he collects so-called commercial taxes from it, which makes a lot of money.
In addition, it is said that there are many ships in this person's hands. There is a special fleet to run the sea for him, travel to Guangzhou, Macao, Manila and the South China Sea, trade with local merchants, and even trade with Franks.
In fact, it was because several of our shopkeepers were unruly, robbing his merchant ship and killing some of his men that this man came up with this trick to deal with us!
It can be seen that this person is not a good person. If you encounter this kind of thing, you must report it!"
"Oh? It seems that Ma Xiang has also done a lot of homework for this surname Yu! How dare you find out so much news! That's right, but this guy is quite good at drilling and making money! I really admire him for this! How can you come up with the trick of collecting tolls! Humph!
This is convenient. You don't have to let your brothers play with their lives, but you can also make a lot of money. I really don't know what this guy thinks! If this method can work, wouldn't it be pleasant for us to learn from him and take control of the coastal waterways and reap the benefits of fishermen? Mr. Chu Cai was interested now and turned to the slightly fat man and said.
This Ma Xiang is an old man of Chu Cai's cronies. Because he is good at managing affairs, rough writing and ink, and also knows some means of financial management, so that he was appointed by Chu Cai Lao as his old camp general manager, which is actually equivalent to his logistics minister and half a counselor.
After listening to Chu Cai's words, Ma Xiang shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Although this Yu's method of collecting road money is good, I'm afraid we are not suitable!"
(Second update! Ask for a monthly ticket and a reward! If you really don't have it, just give a few red tickets! Ha ha!)
