0638 Lao Jun's Merchant

By the evening, the second climax came! Wu Yizhou led a large fleet back to sail, filling the Penghu port. As a result, the afternoon incident happened again.

Liu Pei went to the dock to greet Wu Yizhou. After meeting, Wu Yizhou laughed and saluted Liu Pei and said, "Master, most of the pirates were wiped out, and Liu Xiang committed suicide on the spot!"

After saying that, a staff officer behind him brought a box. The guard stepped forward and took it and opened it. The formal Liu Xiang's head was placed inside! Liu Pei looked at Liu Xiang's head and recalled the portrait, feeling that he was almost the main owner. He waved his hand to signal the guard to take it away.

Liu Pei saluted everyone and said, "Thank you all for your hard work!"

Wu Yizhou led everyone to return the greetings and said in unison: "I hope to serve the general to die!"

After the salutes of both sides, Liu Pei signaled Wu Yizhou to follow him. While walking, he said: "Perseverance, leave the rest to the people below, gather the officers with command capabilities to attend the combat meeting. I plan to set off to attack Tainan tomorrow."

After hearing this, Wu Yizhou nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, I agree too! After all, soldiers are so fast!"

Liu Pei said with emotion: "Yes, we must move quickly! We just need to work hard and stay up late to prepare supplies!"

Wu Yizhou smiled and said, "The general doesn't have to worry. As long as there is a war, our brothers can stand it!"

The two discussed and entered the military camp. Just when the combat meeting chaired by Liu Pei, the guards came to report: "There are a group of maritime merchants outside who wanted to see the Grand Marshal and sent a lot of gifts to the army. At the same time, they invited the Grand Marshal to the banquet."

A staff officer muttered in a low voice: "These businessmen have really good noses! This is what I know to be here to curry favor with the general!"

He thought his voice was very small, but in fact everyone heard it. However, everyone agreed with this sentence, so he burst into laughter.

Liu Pei said: "Tell them, just say you're kind to me. Now we're busy, let's talk about the banquet later."

The guard turned around and was about to go out. But Wu Yizhou said, "Wait a minute."

He turned around and said to Liu Pei: "Master, I think it's better for you to go out and deal with it. We've been

After a series of wars, military spending is probably inevitable! If you can squeeze out some oil from them, that would be a good thing."

Liu Pei thought Wu Yizhou's words were very reasonable. He couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought about the red loss figure in the account book! The cost of the war will not be small, and the cost of developing Taiwan after the war will be a bottomless hole! However, if you don't invest, there will be no immigration, no military source, no taxes, and no various workshops, so you still need to invest a large amount of money.

And Liu Pei also thought of a problem, that is, he hopes that more people can come to Penghu for trade. In this way, his interests can be maximized. Now, there are always two or three kittens, which is not an ideal state. If the news of his victory can be spread through the mouths of these merchants and the news of his great victory is accelerated, perhaps Penghu's business will get better faster.

Thinking of this, Liu Pei said, "Then you preside over the meeting first, and I will go back."

Liu Pei was accompanied by the guards to the outside of the camp and saw that there were indeed a dozen well-dressed merchants standing outside the camp. Behind them, a group of men were pushing carts and carrying loads. The wine jar could be seen on the carts, and there were actually two pigs and a few sheep.

Liu Pei felt that it was really difficult for these merchants to deliver these things. Because Penghu had just been developed, the poultry and livestock raised by farmers had not grown up yet. I am afraid that these things were brought to their own food from the mainland.

The dozen or so merchants came forward to pay their respects when they saw Liu Pei coming out and bowed to Liu Pei. After Liu Pei returned the gifts one by one, the merchants introduced a relatively old man to step forward and said to Liu Pei: "To eliminate the pirates and fight all directions, the Dragon Prince also sent people to protect the business roads on the sea. It's really hard! This is a great thing for merchants. Taking advantage of this great victory, we will send some things to work hard to express our feelings. Please ask the Dragon Prince to accept it."

Liu Pei sighed in his heart that these businessmen always don’t show off their eagles without seeing rabbits! A while ago, they asked them to pay the toll, and they cried and shouted poor. Now seeing that their own power is huge, they hurried to come and curry favor with them.

However, Liu Pei didn't plan to expose it. Liu Pei still understood the matter of buying horse bones with a daughter. At this moment, Liu Pei wanted to say to everyone: "Thank you all the wise men for your kindness, I'm ashamed to take it!

I must tell my subordinates to patrol the sea carefully, protect the business roads, and let everyone do business in a modest way!"

The old businessman nodded happily after hearing this, and said, "Then I'll ask the Dragon Prince! And in order to thank the Dragon Prince, we specially held a banquet to invite the Dragon King to enjoy the glory!"

Liu Pei said with a puzzled look: "I'm afraid this time won't work! On the one hand, the war is coming, and on the other hand, I will lead the fleet to attack the Netherlands tomorrow. So there are too many things to arrange tonight, so I can only dispel your good intentions."

Liu Pei was not afraid of the news spreading. Even if it was spreading, it would not be heard by the Dutch people. Moreover, this time he attacked southern Taiwan with a dignified army, and he was in a heavy army to win with his strength. He was not afraid of any changes.

This time, Liu Pei defeated the Netherlands fleet with the same force, and now the entire fleet is full of confidence from top to bottom! Even if the Netherlands transferred Batavia's guardian fleet, they all have the confidence to win again! But I'm afraid the Netherlands will not dare to send their only ten remaining warships.

After hearing Liu Pei's words, the old businessman waved his hands repeatedly and said, "The matter of the Dragon King is important! But I'm waiting for abruptness!"

Liu Pei said: "If you want to invite me to drink too, there will be opportunities in the future. But I want to ask you something here."

After hearing this, the old businessman nodded repeatedly and said, "The Dragon King has given instructions, as long as he can do it, the old man will definitely do it."

Other merchants also nodded behind him, expressing their efforts. Liu Pei said: "As a free trade zone, Penghu is full of waste at this time. And you can also see the potential of Penghu in the future. So I want to ask you to spread news among maritime merchants and let more people come to Penghu for trade. I wonder if you can help you?"

When everyone heard that it was such a simple thing, they naturally agreed. Liu Pei bowed to the merchants and said, "Since that's the case, I'll ask you all."
