Chapter 894
It was not clear at this time, and it could even be said that it was still early before dawn-
Then what are these people doing...
Pei Ji instinctively thought about what the servant said just now, it was about cargo ships...that was about sea trade.
And the sea trade... What else can happen to the sea trade now?
He met with a group of old brothers, and then Pei Ji sat down quietly and drank tea, and decided to listen to what Wang Jing and others said first.
But it is said that Wang Jing, Li Tiancheng, Cui Baihe, this group of people has also been singing and dancing and prosperous in the Pure Land. After all, the profits of sea trade are not ordinary exaggerated - otherwise there would be no future era of navigation, and going to sea would be really huge profits.
Wang Jing and the others are different. The ordinary maritime merchants who go out to trade not only have to face the storm, but also have to deal with the headache-inducing pirates running around.
However, the merchant ships of Wang Jing and others were much more capable of dealing with pirates. Whether they were shocked by the names of the five surnames and Qi Wangs, or those who were strong by relying on their wide connections and many martial arts advantages, they were far superior to ordinary merchants.
With this advantage, the cost of maritime trade is much lower, and...
Although Wang Jing and his ships were not as good as the best warships produced in Li Sheng’s industrial zone, they were much better than the sea ships used by ordinary merchants. After all, they recruited the best ship craftsmen in the Jiangdong area at that time.
In this way, Wang Jing and his ships even had the ability to withstand wind and waves far better than ordinary merchants.
As soon as things like "comparative advantage" come out, plus the five surnames and seven hopes are all wealthy families, they are born to be leverage themselves.
With the advantages and leverage, the profit efficiency is simply imagined.
With such objective profits, Wang Jing and others still have more than just profits.
Because Li Er himself encouraged the matter of sea trade, and all merchants around the world have joined the rhythm, Li Er obviously has made some plans in this matter. Judging from the cost... there is no doubt that he still has a lot of plans and will not give up.
Then isn’t there always a sea trade? As long as the sea trade thing is always available, the profit will always be there!
But what about...
As the saying goes, people have joys and sorrows, and the moon has phases.
Although Wang Jing and others are now very confident in the transactions of maritime trade, they received a letter this day... something went wrong!
If it is a general problem, it is actually not a problem. After all, Wang Jing and others are the top group of wealthy families in the world. They are also a large-scale investment in maritime trade.
The work was so big that it was a certain level that some small winds and waves were not a problem to lose a ship, but as for the pirates...
In this regard, Wang Jing and the others were not mentally prepared. After all, the bandits in the southeast are still rampant, especially on the southeast.
But, a month ago...
Since Pei Ji explained his ideas to everyone, Wang Jing and others have reorganized the military situation of the entire fleet.
The current level of martial arts is not only about beating all pirates, but it is still okay to resist most of them, which is also the key to huge profits.
Of course, Wang Jing and the others were not confident that the ships going to sea could stay away from the pirates' waists forever - a creature like a pirate may be late, but forever...
But this time things are different. This is not the case where the pirates harass and get rid of their ships.
But...
"...Brother Pei, it's not that simple. The merchant ships we're waiting for are wiped out this time!"
Seeing that everyone was solemn, their faces were as pale as if they had lost their souls, Pei Ji couldn't help but feel worried. He couldn't help asking. Besides, these people were talking about what the gang was so powerful that they couldn't tell.
As a result, the amount of information immediately came.
The whole army.
“…annihilated???”
Pei Ji was stunned for a moment!
The entire army was wiped out... What is this concept? In Pei Ji's opinion, this is simply incredible.
Not to mention that the military equipment has been reorganized recently, even when there were no reorganizations before, which pirates could wipe out the fleet of the five surnames and seven hopes?
This is a big deal in modern times, just like a wild hacker group that blackened the servers of the three giants of ABT at one time. Isn’t this nonsense?
But Pei Ji asked incredible question, and then he saw Wang Jing, Li Tiancheng and others with extremely heavy faces...
Nodded!
A heavy sigh!
Now that's true, Pei Ji has to believe that this is really going to happen...
I was beaten to death but never expected it!
"How could this be like this? Those are forty merchant ships..."
Pei Ji still found it unbelievable. This was outrageous - what kind of pirates are so terrifying that they can actually make the fleet of the five surnames and seven hopes defeat?
Is this a fucking Golden Merry?
Pei Ji looked shocked, and then naturally asked about the details of Wang Jing and others' affairs.
Since Wang Jing and the others all had this face, it was obvious that this news could not be fake news.
But the question is... what about the details?
Pei Ji couldn't figure out what kind of pirates could have such awesome ones, what fruits did the pirate eat?
But what Pei Ji didn't expect was that there was no detail in this question.
But Wang Jing shook his head with great depression, "What details can be there... After our fleet went out to sea, we left Hangzhou and reached Zhongzuo Sou. As soon as we passed Zhongzuo Sou, we immediately encountered a large ship from the south. The sails on these ships were dirty, but the size was quite solid. This was just one of them... On those sea ships, the crew members were all like tigers and wolfs fighting, extremely fierce. Whether it was pulling bows and shooting arrows or helping to get the blade, our troops were defeated!"
"ah?"
After Wang Jing finished speaking, Li Tiancheng and Cui Baihe on the side also nodded, without a doubt...
Their own tips also say the same.
Judging from this, after the fleet was wiped out, many people should have escaped, and the matter should not be fake...
However, Pei Ji couldn't figure it out. The five surnames and seven hopes are not ordinary high-ranking families. This is a local wealthy family. The biggest feature is that there are really many people with armor and bows under him, and they are all well-trained.
Even if you have a thicker face, the level of these divisions is not much worse than that of the Imperial Guards - except for the powerful weapons held by the Imperial Guards, the level of training is not bad.
But... this battle to go out to sea can actually be destroyed?
How could Pei Ji guessed this combat power? He thought it was incredible!
The combat power of this pirate is not only comparable to that of the imperial guards, but is simply comparable to that of the imperial guards’ elite!
But the pirates... Where did the pirates get this combat power? This is so sci-fi!
Pei Ji really thought it was wrong, and finally said suddenly, "Brother Wang, and brothers from other families, would it be the people below who were conspiring to swallow these goods directly?"
Chapter completed!
