Wei Pengyun looked at Wang Xuan in confusion, "Brother Wang, what do you want with this thing?"

"Brother Wei should know that my family is in the cloth business, and of course it is used to produce cloth."

Wei Pengyun watched Wang Xuan's eyes roll a few times, "Brother Wang needs a lot?"

"It's a lot. I'm going to build a factory to specialize in the production of cloth. This way the cost will be lower. It can be said that I can get as much cotton and linen yarn as I want."

"factory?"

"It's a very large workshop."

Wei Pengyun picked up a glass of wine and slowly drank it. His eyes were looking at the table without focus. He was obviously deep in thought.

Wang Xuan's words reminded him that there was not much difference between this warship and a cargo ship. Just remove the weapons on it. Moreover, as the person in charge of the Coast Guard, he was very aware of the convenience and profit of sea transportation.

Although the Ming Dynasty banned the sea, it did not mean that there was no trade on the sea, but that trade was extremely developed. This forbidden sea was only closed to the court and the royal family, and the maritime merchants made a lot of money.

And he, the commander of the Fuzhou Prefecture Guard Station, can have large ships in his hands, and there is no shortage of sailors. Coupled with the force of the warships themselves, ordinary pirates will not dare to provoke him. In that case, being a maritime merchant will be comparable to what it is now.

It would be much faster to make money by letting those men farm and so on!

"Snapped!"

"Crack!"

When Wei Pengyun thought about how much money he had unknowingly lost over the years, he immediately felt distressed and shook the tables, shaking the bowls, chopsticks, and plates.

Only then did Wei Pengyun react and smiled awkwardly but politely at Wang Xuan, "Sorry, I was a little distracted just now."

Of course Wang Xuan can guess what is going on. After all, today's words are all planned. He, Mr. Wang, doesn't have so much energy to do some shipping by himself. It is enough to pay for it.

In fact, as long as Wang Xuan is willing to spread the word, there is no shortage of merchants in Fuzhou Prefecture who are engaged in shipping. If he can't buy whatever he wants, why should he waste time on making these messy things himself? He is not doing it to make money.

All of this today was designed for Wei Pengyun. The purpose was to draw the other party into trouble and form an alliance of interests, which would make it easier for him to intervene in military matters.

"Brother Wang is one of our own, and I won't hide some things from you. Life in our guard station is very difficult right now. The food and salary from the Ministry of War are definitely less than three levels. They say we have to live on empty wages. Damn it.

Yes, it’s not impossible. According to the things issued above, 30% of the soldiers can’t afford it. If we want to survive, we have to find ways to make some money on our own!”

Wei Pengyun rubbed his hands as he spoke, and looked at Wang Xuan with some embarrassment. After all, Wang Xuan was a scholar. Looking at the general environment, he was naturally the opposite of warriors like them. Although Wei Pengyun did not see this in Wang Xuan now.

He came out, but he couldn't help but feel a little afraid that Wang Xuan would look down on him.

It is a bit excessive for a soldier to go into business.

Seeing Wang Xuan's face darken, Wei Pengyun's heart suddenly trembled, but he heard Wang Xuan say: "Where did Brother Wei come from? How could I not know about the shortcomings of the imperial court? I am not one of those rotten scholars who think that only those who talk about it all day long are the only ones in the world."

It’s too peaceful, that’s nonsense!”

"This world was conquered by Taizu and his noble ancestors with swords and spears!"

"People need to eat, and soldiers need to eat even more. What can you do with the little food and salary after layers of deductions? How can you protect the country and kill the enemy if you don't have enough to eat!"

Snapped!

Wei Pengyun couldn't help but slap the table again, "Brother Wang is so right, come and have a drink!"

But Wang Xuan stretched out his hand to stop Wei Pengyun, "Change to a larger bowl. Why does this little thing taste like wine when he drinks it!"

"Ah hahahaha, Brother Wang, interesting, interesting!"

A maid came over to change the big bowl, and they both filled it. Wei Pengyun picked up the wine bowl and said with a sigh on his face: "There are not many scholars in this world who can be liked by us martial artists. The last one was Mr. Wang Yangming, and now, he is

You, Wang Xuan and Wang Zaizhi!”

"I don't dare to be in the same category as Mr. Yangming!" Although Wang Xuan was thick-skinned beyond imagination, Wei Pengyun still blushed a little when comparing him with Wang Yangming.

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

The two big bowls collided lightly, and they both raised their heads and drank a bowl of wine. Wei Pengyun stretched out his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, and laughed: "It's still fun!"

Putting down the wine bowl, Wang Xuan said with a smile: "I understand what Brother Wei means. Don't worry, I do everything openly. I want as much goods as you can deliver. The premise is that the price is fair. After all, I want it."

If the quantity is large, the price will be lower than the average market price.”

"I understand this. Integrity is what matters in doing business. Brother Wang, don't worry!"

"Then it's settled!"

"That's a deal!"

The two of them had another bowl of wine and settled the matter.

"Brother Wei, I still need a group of manpower here to bake bricks, build factories, etc. We are short of manpower now. I don't know where you are..."

Wang Xuan seemed to say casually, this is his second purpose, firstly, to find a group of workers, and secondly, to select a group of capable talents from these soldiers, and gradually make them his own.

At the very least, get Mr. Qian back, and then slowly think about how to sideline Wei Pengyun.

"This is a trivial matter. How many people does Brother Wang need?" Wei Pengyun didn't care at all. He usually relied on these soldiers to work and make money.

"At least a thousand people!"

"There are so many, um, okay, go back and choose someone from my side."

After both things were settled, Wang Xuan secretly made a gesture behind him, and Zui Hongchen, who was hiding in the dark, had a clear look.

"cousin!"

The two of them were chatting, when a soft and crisp shout rang out, and following the sound of footsteps, a girl with a little makeup, a pure and cute dress, but with a bit of coquettishness in her eyes ran over.

"ah!"

The girl found that there was an outsider here, she covered her mouth and let out a soft scream. A red cloud slowly rose on her delicate skin as white as jade. She glanced at Wei Pengyun lightly, then avoided it in panic, and bit her gently.

He touched his lower lip and rubbed the corners of his clothes with his hands, looking at a loss.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This faint glance seemed to Wei Pengyun to be a bit of natural flattery, "Gulu". Wei Pengyun couldn't help but swallowed, and stared at it intently.

Girl, this makes the girl even more shy.

Wang Xuan secretly praised Zui Hongchen in his heart. Sure enough, beautiful women are born to act.

"My little sister is here. Come over here. Let me introduce you. This is no outsider. He is the third-rank general of the imperial court and the commander of the Fuzhou Guard, Mr. Wei Pengyun Wei."

Wang Xuan turned to look at Wei Pengyun, who was completely dumbfounded by the drunken girl's Yanyang Kung Fu, and smiled, "Brother Wei, Brother Wei..."

After two consecutive calls didn't wake him up, Wang Xuan rolled his eyes and stretched out his hand to poke him.

"Ah!~Ah!"

"I...I!" Wei Pengyun's dark old face turned completely red. It was a bit embarrassing to show such a piggy look to others.

"Hahaha, Brother Wei, let me introduce to you. This is my distant cousin. Her parents passed away some time ago, so she came to live with me. My younger sister's surname is Chen and her given name is Zuihong."

"Brother~!" Zui Hongchen lightly stomped his foot, grinding his little feet on the ground. He lowered his head and said shyly: "Brother, how can I just say the name of the Nu family to outsiders?"

"Hahaha, if you don't count as an outsider, you can just call me Brother Wei."

Biting the corner of his mouth gently, Zui Hongchen glanced at Wei Pengyun with a flushed face, and made a slight bow, "I've met Brother Wei."

"Okay, okay." Wei Pengyun was so happy that he felt like he had lost his soul. He touched his body with his hands and pulled off the jade pendant from his waist with a bang. Then he walked up to Zui Hongchen with a smile and said, "First time we meet.

, this, this jade pendant is given to my little sister."

Zui Hongchen didn't dare to answer, but looked up at Wang Xuan.

"Okay, take it, they are all family members."

Only then did Zui Hongchen reach out and take it, "Thank you, Brother Wei. I won't disturb the two of you having a drink. I will leave now."

After saying that, he twisted like a thin waist and swayed his body gently, like a thin willow in the wind, and slowly walked out.

Wei Pengyun stood there in a daze, drooling involuntarily when he saw it.

Wang Xuan patted Wei Pengyun on the shoulder, and Wei Pengyun suddenly became excited and quickly reached out to wipe his saliva.

"Brother Wei likes my little sister, so why not marry her?"

"Alas, it's bitter, it's bitter, I got married many years ago, alas!"

I don’t know if it’s because Zui Hongchen’s girly skills are too powerful in combination with her own advantages or something else, but Wei Pengyun’s gnashing of teeth is really funny and embarrassing.

"Then...then we can only follow the example of the ancients and marry an equal wife!"

"Really?"

"What's this!"

"Brother Wang." Wei Pengyun excitedly grabbed Wang Xuan's hands and squeezed them tightly, "What you said is true, you are so willing!"

"Hahaha." Wang Xuan resisted the urge to kick Wei Pengyun to death, and pulled his hands back, "What's the point of reluctance? Brother Wei is a dignified third-grade official. It's not an insult for the younger sister to follow Brother Wei. Her parents are not here.

, as my elder brother, of course I can make the decision!"

"Haha, hahahahaha!" Wei Pengyun raised his head and laughed wildly, "Then from now on you will be my uncle. If you don't talk to each other, if you have any problems, just come to me!"

"Then, don't I want to call Brother Wei brother-in-law?"

"Brother-in-law is good, brother-in-law is good, brother-in-law looks young!"

Wei Pengyun's smile stretched from the corner of his mouth to his ears, and his gums were sticking out.
