Zhong Zhen, Hong Xu, is the most trusted confidant general under Zheng Chenggong, and the main steward of the Zheng Group. Basically, Zheng Chenggong would think of this person if there is any inconvenience to solve, and this person often would not disappoint Zheng Chenggong. In less than a year, Chen Kai gave Zheng Chenggong too many surprises, but he was not so arrogant that he believed that Hong Xu really had something difficult to solve. However, when Hong Xu revealed the answer, Chen Kai suddenly felt amused and laughed.

"This is the dog son Hong Lei, please be punished in the future." With a bow, Hong Xu turned around and shouted to his son Hong Lei: "Have you seen sir yet?!"

"Student Hong Lei, I have met Mr."

The young man saluted respectfully and continued to stand by. I wonder what kind of sudden thoughts Hong Xu had, whether his position under Zheng Chenggong was constantly rising and his heart was close, or whether he really had great confidence in his talent, so that he wanted to send his son to him. In fact, this was no longer important, because this was also a good thing for him.

"My uncle knows that I have a deviant mind when I think. If the child is taught badly, don't blame me."

"I believe in my true talents. A person like you who can teach a dog son for life should be able to benefit him for life, and it can be considered a matter of my mind."

The words of sincerity are beyond words between Hong Xu's words. Chen Kai was very strange. Today, when the imperial examination system is still prevalent, Hong Xu was so confident in him. It should be noted that even Chen Ding was far inferior to that of this confidence. At least Chen Ding did not let Chen Yonghua take him as his teacher. It was just the relationship between the adopted father and son that Chen Kai could carefully cultivate that rare potential stock.

"In the Zheng Jing Dynasty, Chen Yonghua, the chief executive of the Zheng Group, and Hong Lei, the official in charge of personnel affairs, are there already two. Do I want to deliberately collect and gather all the important officials of the Zheng Jing Dynasty?"

During the Zheng Jing era, Chen Kai was already very strange. What he knew about the important figures of the Zheng group at that time were nothing more than the group leader Zheng Jing, the commander Liu Guoxuan, the chief executive officer Chen Yonghua, the official Hong Lei, the criminal officer Ke Ping and the guard Feng Xifan. For others, they were even more than just blurred impressions.

After careful calculation, Zheng Jing and his mother, Zheng Chenggong's wife Dong Yougu, Zheng Chenggong had previously mentioned preparing to bring them; Chen Yonghua and Hong Lei were already under his sect, Ke Ping was either someone else, or Ke Chenshu's son, and now he is in the Ke Mansion in Nan'ao City. Ke Chenshu had mentioned earlier that Chen Kai would take care of him, while Liu Guoxuan seemed to be still guarding the city gate for me. Only Feng Xifan, the remaining one, is probably about to come to join Zheng Chenggong with his father.

"What if he doesn't matter, I will try to solve the Qing Dynasty before Zheng Jing takes over Zheng Chenggong's foundation. Wouldn't it be better for these people to stay when I am old or continue to build this country after I die?"

With this master-apprentice relationship, Chen Kai, Chen Bao and Hong Xu became closer, especially the latter. Hong Xu mentioned some things about sea trade, and Chen Kai didn't quite understand, and also had a chat with Hong Xu. However, after the banquet, Chen Bao invited Hong Xu and Chen Kai to the inner room, waved the servants who were serving around him, and only talked about another thing after confirming that there was no one around.

"The Guo surname is now in Chaozhou, training soldiers and conquering cities and territories. The main direction of the march is actually the one who knows the best."

As Chen Bao said, it is true. Zheng Chenggong's recent strategy was almost all formulated by Chen Kai. Even though he is already on Nan'ao Island, his major strategy still has its inevitable extension.

Seeing this, Chen Kai nodded and received a response. Chen Bao continued: "According to the plan, the priority of Raoping County in the east is lower than that of Chaozhou Fucheng and Chenghai County, so the Guo surname ordered me to send someone to contact Zhu Yao and Huang Hairu to persuade them to surrender. Now, Huang Hairu has no letter yet. I know that guy's temperament is just a person who doesn't cry without seeing the coffin. I will sooner or later take action against him. However, Zhu Yao sent someone to send a reply letter yesterday, not only expressing his willingness to obey the orders of the Guo surname, but also willing to come to Nan'ao Island in person to negotiate, and even to Chaozhou to meet the Guo surname."

"That's great."

After receiving this good news, Chen Kai smiled. Zhu Yao was one of the seven major bandits in Chaohai and a famous leader of the thief in Chaoshan area. However, he never oppressed the people, and he only did the job of resisting food, taxes, and protecting the country and the people. In his opinion, he was already the cleanest among the thieves in Chaozhou.

The Haishan Island, which Zhu Yao owns, is divided into two islands, north of Nanao, adjacent to the coastline, and can serve as a barrier for Nanao Island. In addition, there is also a Sanbaimen Port on Haishan Island, with wide waters, large tide differences, few silts, many deep water areas, vast hinterlands, and good shelter conditions. It is a rare deep water port. If you can occupy Haishan Island, and then eat the surrounding areas and turn it into a hinterland, it can become an excellent navy base or a good trade port.

"Zhu Yao, are there any conditions?"

Chen Kai didn't believe such a good thing without conditions. Now Zheng Chenggong has the momentum to take the lead in Chaozhou, and it seems unstoppable to sweep Chaozhou Prefecture, but Zhu Yao was able to turn to Zheng Chenggong so happily, which always made Chen Kai feel that it would not be so simple.

"This matter was really right. Zhu Yao had three conditions. First, he hoped to continue to lead his troops to station on Haishan Island to protect the villagers; second, he was willing to worship taxes, but he hoped not to have too many, because most of the fishermen on Haishan Island are fishermen, and the output was really limited; and third..."

The first two items, one involves military defense, is related to Chen Bao, who is responsible for military affairs in Nan'ao Island, and the other is linked to Chen Kai. Both items are understandable, but when talking about the third requirement, Chen Bao couldn't help laughing before he could say anything.

"What's so funny? The Marquis must know that it's better to have fun alone than to have fun. Don't sway the appetite of my uncle and me."

"This is the third condition." Speaking of this, Chen Bao looked at Chen Kai, and saw him a little furious, and then blurted out: "He said he wanted to see with his own eyes and see what kind of person can do such a heroic and great thing."

"ah?"

People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong, and Chen Kai is really speechless. When Zhu Yao comes, it would be fine if he is just an admirer, but if he listens to the jokes about tearing up cars in Chaozhou City and becomes competing, it would not be a good thing.

"See you as soon as you see it, but I have agreed in advance that if that guy comes to me for a fight, don't blame me for being closed and thanking guests and not giving face." As he said that, Chen Kai chuckled, "Anyway, I am a civil servant, and I can't beat him, but I don't want to be beaten. The marquis will consider this matter by himself."

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately burst into laughter. The cheerful laughter of the three of them even came out of the inner room, which made the servants serving outside wonder what these three big names were talking about, so funny.
