Fu Song

Chapter 380 Sea Dragon King

With knife-like wrinkles on his face, a thin and small body, and a pair of big hands with blue veins, such a person, thrown in the field, is not much different from those ordinary old farmers.

And this is Zheng Zeshi, a little old man who looks ordinary outside, but in the industry, he is a legend that can make people in the same industry worship him.

Even if he has already landed, his legend is still passed down in the sea.

The flag with the Zheng character is flying across the sea, and almost no one dares to provoke it.

A bowl of millet porridge and a dish of pimple vegetables is Zheng Zeshi's breakfast.

The large and small kitchens in Zhuangzi have prepared sufficient meals, and guests can order dishes according to their own preferences, and from this, they can see a lot of differences.

Most of them are just like Luo Weixian, who never tire of fine food and fine meat, and some even bring their own cooks to prepare the ingredients and cook their own meals.

And Zheng Zeshi is really too simple.

After finishing the millet porridge, this little old man who was so rich even held the bowl with both hands, sticking out his tongue to lick the bowl clean, which really surprised Xiao Cheng who was standing at the door of the house.

Seeing Xiao Cheng approaching, Zheng Zeshi was also obviously a little surprised, but soon regained his composure, scooped up the last piece of pimple from the plate and threw it in his mouth, walking towards Xiao Cheng.

"The signing judge came back yesterday. I originally thought that at least I would have to wait until evening or tomorrow to meet the signing judge alone, but I really didn't expect that you came to me early this morning. No wonder When I wake up, the magpies can't stop crying!" Under Zheng Zeshi's seemingly calm eyes, there is a trace of joy hidden.

This is a very simple truth.

Now Xiao Cheng is the actual controller of the Federation, with land, money, and army, and this is exactly the person Zheng Zeshi has always wanted to cling to.

When he first invested in the federation, Zheng Zeshi had no idea what it is today.

At that time, Jiang Yingxue came to the door, and Zheng Zeshi was interested in the background behind Jiang Yingxue. Anyway, for Zheng Zeshi at this stage, money is no longer a problem. Cast a net and make good fortune everywhere.

But with the passage of time and the development of the situation, Zheng Zeshi suddenly discovered that an investment that he didn't pay much attention to at the beginning may grow into a towering tree.

Until this time, he regretted that he had invested less.

However, this federation does not seem to have any intention of making additional investment.

In fact, there is a high probability that the current federation no longer needs outsiders to invest in shares, because it has truly implemented a positive cycle and can continuously create wealth by itself.

There is an army, a territory, and a small mouth, and there are no restrictions. What else can make more money than this?
Since entering one of the sites controlled by the Federation, Zheng Zeshi has seen a world that is almost completely different from other places.

That kind of thriving and flourishing force can be seen even by the blind.

However, the power of the Zheng family has always been at sea. Overseas, the dragon king in the sea has to bow his head to the vicious dogs on the shore. This is the fact.Zheng Zeshi has been trying to integrate into the upper circle all these years since he went ashore, but he has spent a lot of money, and he is still wandering around the periphery, unable to enter the inner circle.

The inner circle is so big, probably because they are already too crowded, and if another one comes in, wouldn't it be another piece of cake?
Of course I don't want to.

But everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty!

If they can't squeeze into the inner circle, the Zheng family is in danger of being targeted.A family like theirs that doesn't have much influence on the shore, but is wealthy, is a big piece of fat in the eyes of many people.

This is why Zheng Zeshi had to seek a way out overseas.

But if they could live in the Song Dynasty, who would want to live in those barbarian places overseas?

It was just a last resort.

Of course, if he had to leave, Zheng Zeshi wouldn't mind teaching those people a hard lesson when he left.

But in this way, he really can't come back, and in the future, he can only be a real pirate.

It's more comfortable to be a part-time pirate and make money at both ends like now!After earning a lot of money and returning to Song Dynasty, this kind of enjoyment is incomparable anywhere!

So this time, Zheng Zeshi attached great importance to the shareholders' meeting of the federation. He even decided to let more benefits come out in private negotiations with Xiao Cheng, just to tie himself more tightly to the federation.

Xiao Cheng, for Zheng Zeshi, is now a real rare commodity to live in.

Aside from his own power in the southwest, Xiao Ding, the king of the Northwest, is a shining golden signboard!

However, my family knows my family affairs. On the shore, I can't afford much capital, and my connections are far from being compared with other people. Take that Luo Weixian as an example. It's just that I hope I don't snatch his goods at sea.

After all, silk going to sea is the real huge profit.

And other people, especially those who are officials, who will take themselves seriously, who don't think they are barbarians!
He didn't expect that Xiao Cheng came to look for him early this morning.

This guy just came back last night!

Then I went to Bozhou Yang, Sizhoutian and Guangnan West Road to recruit Cen Zhong.

This is conceivable.

But what I didn't expect was that I was ranked fourth!

So surprising!

Straight to the point.

Sitting opposite Zheng Zeshi, Xiao Cheng asked directly: "Duke Zheng, how many boats do you have now? How many people are there? I'm talking about everything, including you outside."

Zheng Zeshi froze for a while, he was used to those officials in the Song Dynasty who talked in a cloud of mist, and refused to be sent when they wanted to welcome them, but suddenly they were really not used to Xiao Cheng's straightforwardness.

After pondering for a while, he said: "To be honest, there are seventy-six big boats, and there are more than five thousand people who eat on this line. Among them, the early three thousand are able to board the boat, and the rest are at home in Quanzhou. And some are on the island."

This is really leaking out all the wealth of the family.

Xiao Cheng was a little surprised by Zheng Zeshi's frank confession, but Xiao Cheng was also a little shocked by the opponent's strength.

There are seventy-six large ships, which can almost be regarded as seventy-six warships.These large ships that run far seas are basically dual-purpose, and sailors are of course dual-purpose.Three thousand sailors who can board the ship are three thousand sailors.

Looking at Zheng Zeshi's appearance, Xiao Cheng felt a little cuter.

"In the next five years, the federation will inject a minimum of [-] yuan into you every year, and we hope that your fleet and sailors can double." Xiao Cheng said: "As for the business you are running That island, I hope it will become a transit point, not just a refuge. It is true that the federation is going to use its troops now, and it is true that there is no more money for it, but in the future, it will be made up for you.”

"Money is not a problem!" Zheng Zeshi sat up straight. "To tell you the truth, my Zheng family has been targeted in Quanzhou, and I'm in a difficult situation."

Xiao Cheng smiled and said, "That's not a problem. Immediately, I'll send Guangnan West Road recruiter Cen Zhong and Kuizhou Road transfer envoy Li Fang to visit your house in Quanzhou. The Zheng family might as well entertain and spread the word." .Besides, I heard that the third generation of the Zheng family has several smart girls who have grown up, and I have a foster brother named Han Kai, Mr. Zheng knows, right?"

"General Iron Hammer Han Kai?" Zheng Zeshi's face immediately beamed with joy. This General Han, although he is carrying a Xiang army in name, in fact, this is the most elite army under the Federation of Commerce, with a total of three thousand. In other words, compared to the Tiannan Army and Tianwu Army, they are the true sons of the Federation. "He is willing to marry the daughter of my Zheng family?"

The daughter of the Zheng family, because of her background as a pirate, in Quanzhou, those rich and famous families who know their roots are not willing to marry, and ordinary people, the Zheng family doesn't like it, which makes the daughter of the Zheng family , I am really worried about getting married.

"I'm just worried that you, Mr. Zheng, don't like him as the son of a blacksmith!" Xiao Cheng laughed loudly, "There is absolutely no problem with him here."

"The Zheng family can't wait for it!" Zheng Zeshi was overjoyed.

The Han family is very prosperous in the federation now.Han Kai is in charge of the one-stop industry from mine excavation to iron and steel smelting to weapons manufacturing. It is one of the foundations of the entire federation. Han Kai is the general who holds military power.But the relationship between the Han family and the Xiao family is extraordinary, Xiao Cheng has always treated Han Kai as a brother, such a promising family is willing to marry their own daughter, how can Zheng Zeshi be unwilling?

"In this way, those blind people in Quanzhou who want to touch you have to think carefully about whether they have enough weight. If they can't let them stop, then they are purely courting death." Xiao Cheng said with a face. The evil spirit is fleeting, "If the tiger does not show its power, it will be treated as a sick cat. If the tiger shows its power, it will kill people."

"It's easy to expand the contract, and money is not a problem, but after the expansion, it's not just the sea trade, right?" Zheng Zeshi asked.

"Of course!" Xiao Cheng said, "Duke Zheng, the Federation will need a navy in the future. You are a sea trader and have seen a lot of knowledge. You should know that the world is so big that we only live in a small corner. One day in the future, we will They will collide head-on with people from other places. At that time, they will still have to fight each other! At that time, the strength of the navy will determine the strength of a country. I hope that the Zheng family will become the mainstay by then. .”

"Of course the Zheng family is willing." Zheng Zeshi said happily, if one day they would change from a family of pirates to a family of generals, it would be regarded as a full-time job.

"And now, sea trade is still the most profitable business. In the past, Mr. Zheng was worried and didn't dare to do it quickly. Now, let's go boldly and do it boldly. The Federation will support you behind! Now, you can be considered a Organized people."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"In addition, when you are free, you can also go to Koryo, Ryukyu, and the coastline of Liao for a stroll. Zheng Gong, sometimes I think that robbing is really more profitable than doing business. "Xiao Cheng lowered his voice and said: "And it will be even more enjoyable to rob the enemy. Between entering and exiting, one can weaken the enemy, two can strengthen oneself, and three can train soldiers. It really kills three birds with one stone. !"

Zheng Zeshi looked at the young man in front of him, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Xiao Cheng didn't look like a scholar at all. Upset.Little do they know that on the sea, even if you can shine a golden lotus with your tongue, it will not be worth a blow to the head.

"Sign and judge, I know a lot of island countries, they are so rich, I didn't dare to do it before, but now."

"If you can win, do it." Xiao Cheng leaned over, leaning his head together, and said: "If you want money, if you want supplies, you can also ask for people. Look at us now, we send people everywhere. !Whether it’s a mine or a workshop, a lot of people are needed to do the work.”

"Understood!" Zheng Zeshi rubbed his hands excitedly: "With the support of the judge, the old man should cheer up and go for a few times in person."

"The most important thing is to train more children and have successors." Xiao Cheng laughed. "In addition, Zheng Gong, Neihe Navy, you have to think about it, especially the talent pool."

"Signing the judgment, there is still a big difference between the inland navy and the sea. If the federation has this need, the old man suggests finding and buying among the existing inland navy."

"Is there anyone you know Zheng Gong?"

"They all live and eat on the water, so I still know more or less."

"Then this matter will be handled by Mr. Zheng!" Xiao Cheng kicked the ball out immediately, not afraid of what Zheng Zeshi would do at this moment.Right now, the Federation really doesn't need the Inland River Navy, it just chooses to go online and make preparations, maybe it will be used sometime in the future.

"After the Zheng family went ashore, some nephews and nephews no longer went to the sea to beg for life, but tossed about on land, and a few of them were worthy of use." Zheng Zeshi looked at Xiao Cheng and said: "This time, I also came here. Wen Youwu, if signing judges are attractive, these few people will stay and listen to signing judges, which is also their good luck."

Is this ready to send protons here?Xiao Cheng couldn't help laughing, but since the Zheng family sent these few people to him, they should be able to go wrong with their talents.And what is missing now, isn't it talent?

Even places like Sizhou and Bozhou have been sucked out of talent by the imperial court, let alone a place like Qianzhou. Xiao Cheng is eager for talents now and will not refuse anyone who comes.

"Duke Zheng, you are anxious about what I am, thinking about what I am thinking!" Xiao Cheng said happily.This time, among the group of people who came to Bangzhou, there are really few who can think of this.

The Sea Dragon King galloping across the sea is really quite different from other people.

Without this exquisite mind, how could there be today's achievements?
