0576 Sea tolls

Liu Pei opened the department store here because he wanted to use silver notes to get a huge amount of silver for his own spending. But today these people are all wealthy and powerful people. If they have thought about the department store, their losses will be small, and if they affect Liu Pei's plan to penetrate the Jiangnan economy, it will be a huge loss! So Liu Pei must threaten them and let them extinguish their thoughts.

Looking at the disappointed faces of several people, Liu Pei felt much more relieved. He then pointed to the cabin and began to introduce it. He said: "At the same time, there are also patrol rooms and barracks around the trading hall, which are specifically responsible for the safety of the trading area. At the same time, there are also inns, restaurants, brothels and other consumption places, which can provide you with perfect services!"

In short, Liu Pei intends to build this part of the surrounding area into a multi-functional community integrating port area, logistics, warehousing, entertainment and transactions. Although these people at the table did not directly participate in commercial activities, they still have a very experienced vision.

They had already understood the benefits of this model after a change of heart. Although both parties to the transaction would pay a certain fee, it would have a great acceleration of the flow of goods! The group immediately began to discuss in a low voice around the sand table, and they all thought it was a good model. And judging from the strength shown by Liu Pei during this period, he was also able to maintain all this existence. After all, Liu Pei was already the uncrowned king on this sea at this time!

But there is another thing involved here, that is, the issue of trust. After all, pirates and merchants are inherently hostile relationships, so how can they easily develop mutual trust? This requires time to slowly test.

These people asked many questions, and Liu Pei also answered them one by one. As the answers deepened, everyone began to think that Liu Pei was really extraordinary! When they first met, in their minds, it was already amazing that a ignorant pirate leader could come up with such a solution. After they figured out how all these matters worked, they had to admire Liu Pei's imagination. The most important thing is that Liu Pei has the ability to complete this matter.

After Liu Pei answered some questions briefly, everyone wanted to ask questions, but they just opened their mouths and were raised by Liu Pei.

Stopped it. Liu Pei said: "All wise men, we can discuss the details slowly in the future. Now I would like to ask you, in this matter, can you continue to do it?"

After everyone looked at each other, they almost nodded in unison and said, "It's feasible!"

“Can do it!”

Liu Pei nodded with satisfaction when he heard this and said, "Very good! Since that's the case, let's talk about the second thing."

The first thing Liu Pei said just now surprised several people, so they felt that the second question raised by Liu Pei should also be very important, so they all focused on waiting for Liu Pei’s statement.

Liu Pei looked at everyone and said word by word: "From the end of this month, all ships going to sea must report here in Penghu. At the same time, each ship must pay 5,000 taels of silver and receive a bow flag to go out to sea!"

These people were furious! Their faces turned red and they all opposed Liu Pei's opinion. For them, paying money to others is to cut off their losses! These people are unwilling to pay the taxes and silver in the Ming Dynasty. How could they pay Liu Pei for buying money? "

Liu Pei waited without saying a word to wait for them to get tired of clamoring. After quieting down, he continued to say: "If I didn't receive the flag I issued, I would rob a boat if I saw a boat! In addition, if I took my flag, I would be responsible for their safety. If there were pirates robbing them, I would be responsible for revenge on the pirates. I would kill twice the people to avenge the deceased. I would also rob the sea ship as much as possible. How much cargo can be snatched back depends on luck!"

After Liu Pei finished saying this, these people became quiet! They were carefully measuring their gains and losses in this matter. It is good not to pay the money, but it will inevitably be robbed by Liu Pei. Moreover, judging from the current situation, the probability of escaping is too small.

The most important point is that Liu Pei can ensure the safety of the ship. You must know that they are robbed by pirates when they are sailing on weekdays. It’s okay to encounter pirates who are more particular, but the people on the ship may be able to come back alive, but the cargo and ship will definitely disappear. If they encounter ruthless pirates, the cargo will not only be

If you can't find it, even people will be killed. And these pirates are the most common at sea.

Liu Runlin said, "Liu Ye Lin and said, "Then Dragon King, how can you ensure that other pirates can listen to you? Are you really willing to break up with them?"

Liu Pei said: "If you agree to this condition, I will spread the news immediately. I can't control the southern route now, but I can guarantee that there will be no problems with the northern route. Any pirate dares to attack, I will dare to destroy him. Moreover, I can also send my fleet to patrol the channel back and forth, trying to ensure the safety of the sea ships."

Liu Pei's murderous words made these people fall into silence again. After a while, everyone expressed their intentions to try first. Originally, they refused to try. However, on the one hand, Liu Pei clearly put on a threatening posture, and on the other hand, he used the concept of an economic development zone to gather them, so they were willing to try it. Otherwise, it would be as difficult to collect cash from them!

Sure enough, these people had just finished expressing their opinions and could give it a try, and someone suggested that 5,000 taels of silver per ship was too much. As a result, Liu Pei waved his hand and stopped it. Liu Pei said: "This is a follow-up question, we will discuss it later. Let me talk about the third thing below. It is to turn pirates into maritime merchants."

Everyone was shocked after hearing this sentence! This is a real big thing! If the pirates change their jobs into maritime merchants, the security of their maritime trade will be greatly improved.
