Then Li Dan, Wen Zhongfa and others drank a drink together, and then invited Jiang Kui to sit at his table.

"Changming, you are the leader of your boss's personal guard?"

"Things below are not the only things." Jiang Kui said: "In addition to commanding the guards, there are also some daily chores to be assigned to me."

Jiang Kui was in the same time, and his full-time job was just a guard. Other chores were recording and archives. He also had military orders and military and political departments, especially after the attendant department, and became more and more regular. Jiang Kui also had a lot of official duties to do in normal times.

However, this answer was specially instructed by Zhang Han when he left. If Li Dan felt that Jiang Kui was a pure thug-type guard, he would probably look down on Jiang Kui and would not be able to continue to get along.

"It turns out to be a confidant." Li Dan raised his assessment of Jiang Kui a higher level in his heart. He said slowly: "I have heard about your boss. The young talented people who were successful in their youth and the descendants of the aristocratic families. In Datong and even Zhangjiakou, the capital was very popular. In comparison, I am just a poor maritime businessman, which is too far behind."

Jiang Kui said: "It is really hard to agree with the old boss's words. When my boss mentioned the matter in the south, he praised the old boss and admired him very much. Now he despises the boss's intention to trade in the sea. There are two things that are difficult. One is that we need a stable foodie. Our foundation is in the north, and almost no one understands the affairs in the south. After this trip, we realized the greatness of the world. The old boss's strength in Japan and even the Nanyang area is unparalleled. Secondly, we have a lot of goods and we are not just running iron tools. Iron tools can also be dominated by the old boss's side in the future. The rest of the goods need to be re-stocked. After all, our boss's power is not as powerful as Tianjin, so it is not convenient to put a large amount of goods there. If we have a foothold overseas, it would be great."

Li Dan's eyes were half open and half closed when Jiang Kui spoke, but he kept listening attentively. At this time, he also understood that Jiang Kui had already opened the handicap.

Ironware is not the whole trump card of others, but for Japan and even the Nanyang area, ironware is definitely a well-known hard currency!

If the Li family could take down this monopoly, they would make money, but the Li family might make more money, and the benefits were not just silver... The Li family could control the iron patent trade. Compared with raw silk, porcelain, deer skin, sugar and other goods, Li Dan was more likely to be respected by the Japanese and Nanyang barbarians.

Without connections or connections, who can control the iron trade?

Even in the Ming Dynasty, the early days of the Mongolian and the Eastern Territory were always banned from iron trade. Only when rewards were given a small amount of iron and salt. "Salt and iron" were sold for monopoly, how could it be an idiot?

There was a shortage of iron within the Ming Dynasty. How could there be a large amount of iron tools in overseas trade?

Heyusheng's ironware can not only be supplied in large quantities, but also has a quality that is far superior to overseas production. It is first-class in terms of iron quality and workmanship!

Li Dan was really moved. Although he was old, he still had a legitimate descendant, and he was like this. With a son, he had his own family and bloodlines, and he couldn't help but want to plan for his children and grandchildren.

Li Guozhu is not a person with great ability. Li Dan often doubts whether his son can maintain his foundation. If he can maintain long-term cooperation with Yusheng and the Li family, he will not only have huge profits, but also have a strong position of power. Even if some people are ill-behaved, they can only endure it in front of the absolutely strong Li family.

Li Dan stared at Jiang Kui and said, "My Li family is willing to cooperate with Zhang Dongzhu for a long time, but how can I trust him?"

"Next, I'm going to go back to Datong, and my boss will send someone who is a man who both parties believe in, and he will be here for a long time."

"Well, I'm old, I'll just say something. It's better to send my closest relatives to you."

"And it's better to be younger." Jiang Kui said: "You and I both need to cooperate for a long time. There is a young person who has been working with the boss overseas for a long time, knowing the roots and bottom lines, which is more appropriate."

Li Dan didn't expect that Jiang Kui was so tactful and said the secret words in his heart. He had a little appreciation for Jiang Kui. If it weren't for Jiang Kui just an ordinary guard, he would have thought that Jiang Kui would stay. Li Dan had a strong premonition that he could train such a guard leader, he would definitely not be a simple businessman!

"You said very well!" Li Dan pressed his emotions and said calmly: "I am old. I hope Guozhu can cooperate with the people sent by your boss for a long time."

"What the old boss means is to take it back without missing a word."

"You want a port. In addition to hoarding goods and doing maritime trade, do you also want to build your own fleet?"

Jiang Kui did not avoid it and said frankly: "My boss does have this plan. He always relies on himself in his work and does not want to rely on others. If we can have an armed force, it will be better than relying on others in everything."

Li Dan smiled lightly and said, "Your boss is indeed a talented and stubborn person, but do you know that I have more than a hundred warships and warships, and how many years have I saved up?"

"Everything is difficult at the beginning." Jiang Kui said: "The most difficult thing is not to do it, but not to do it. The more you don't do it, the harder it is."

"It would be even harder if you don't do it." Li Dan praised the high-high, but still shook his head, "It's too difficult for you northerners to do such things. If the people above do not know the nature of water and do not understand the affairs of the sea, the sailors below will not be convinced. You must know that people who run boats can be pirates at any time. These people are rebellious and not so easy to control. Moreover, water warfare is different from land warfare. A warship costs a lot of money, but it's a bottomless pit. Don't say that the war will sink in a sudden battle. Dozens or hundreds of people will die. If you want to pay for the pension, just a ship will say that it will either hit the storm or sink. No matter how rich your boss is, you should think that this is a bottomless pit that invests money."

Jiang Kui did have concerns about this. A lucky ship with a dozen tonnage costs at least tens of thousands of taels. The key is that the manufacturing process is also very long. As a result, when you arrive at the sea, you may have encountered pirates and were robbed after just a few days of driving. Or you encounter wind and waves, sink, or hit a reef... In short, no one can guarantee the safety of the ship. Only Li Dan, a lord of pirates on the sea, can travel safely on a calm and mature waterway, and the chance of insecurity will be minimized.

He Yusheng wanted to establish a fleet. Even if he had a commercial relationship with the Li family, it was not a Li family's ship after all. He had to go through various dangers and explore the situation by himself. Jiang Kui knew how many difficulties he would encounter during this period.

He said with a cautious attitude: "Before this, my boss had given instructions on these things, and now I can't reply to the old boss. However, according to my understanding of the boss, he has the kind of unyielding temperament, so he should continue to do it according to his previous thoughts."

Li Dan said curiously: "Your boss is so young, but do you want to return home?"

Jiang Kui said: "The old boss is pretty and a character now. Before I followed my boss, I was just a blind tiger. I have been with the boss over the past few years, and I have made some progress."

"Oh?" Li Dan pondered: "If you are overseas in the future and gradually have a fleet, from the subordinates below to the sailors, you will be loyal to you, will you not be independent?"

Jiang Kui was not angry or anxious, and said with a calm expression: "It is better to die next time if the old boss says this. Even if he dies, he never thought of betraying the boss. Having such thoughts is the greatest shame for us. Moreover, my boss has his own skills to prevent people from having such thoughts."

"I understand." Li Dan stood up, his expression a little solemn... He read Zhang Han in Yusheng in his heart many times in an instant. Li Dan now understands that being able to train such a subordinate would never be an ordinary businessman. Li Dan's sense of smell was very sensitive, otherwise he would not have escaped from Luzon before the Spanish attacked him. He could always feel something that ordinary people could not feel. Now his feeling is that Zhang Han is very amazing and is a target worthy of long-term cooperation.

"Send the old boss." Jiang Kui spoke first, and others stood up to see Li Dan.

With Li Dan's status, of course, he comes whenever he wants and leaves whenever he wants.

"Nephew Changming, I'm waiting for you to come back." Li Dan nodded to Jiang Kui, looked at Wen Zhongfa, Wang Zhang and others again, and felt that this group of people was extraordinary. Li Dan felt even more like that Zhang Han might have some achievements on the sea in the future!

Li Guozhu left others and rushed over to send Li Dan back to the back house.

"Guozhu," said Li Dan: "This group of people is amazing. They want to bring goods back. Try to help and make a good relationship with Jiang Kui. When they come back next time, they must discuss long-term cooperation. They also want a territory. Then they are allowed to build villages in Bengang. I will talk to Yan Siqi."

"My father, is this bet too big, right?"

Li Guozhu said: "I heard that their ship is still rented now, and half of the goods are from others. Do we need to value them so much?"

Li Dan snorted and said, "Look, they will come here at most three months next time, and when they come again, the ship must be theirs, and there may be two ships!"

"They want to build a village in the port, are they going to stock up overseas?"

"That's true, but I think the boss of Yusheng, who is very determined, is probably because he wants to have his own power."

Li Guozhu was a little uneasy and said, "Will it threaten our Li family?"

"Small family!" Li Dan glanced at his son and said, "Is it a threat to look down? You are now tens of thousands of people as subordinates, hundreds of ships, and there are not one ship yet, so you are worried."

Li Guozhu did not retreat after being scolded this time. He said: "That boss Zhang seems to be able to do big things, and you have to think about everything longer." Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
