The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 185
Ships came continuously from the sea, and soon gathered at the entrance of Shuangdao Alley. There seemed to be as many as forty ships.

Shuangdao Alley is small, although Ding Yi has tried to expand it this year, but after so many boats stopped, the alley was immediately filled, and some boats parked directly in the distance, and the people on it needed to use small boats to go ashore.

Ding Yi took people to stand on the shore and waited. A moment later, a wave of figures quickly appeared on the first ship with thousands of materials to dock. The leading middle-aged general was full of vigor and strides. Island ginseng general Shen Shikui.

Ding Yi quickly greeted him: "Greetings, General Shen."

"Ah, General Ding, please forgive me."

Shen Shikui looked at Ding Yi like a son-in-law, feeling really happy in his heart.

The last time everyone was besieged in Phi Island, Ding Yi made a shocking comeback. Not only did he kill Liu Xingzhi, but he also saved everyone's lives.

Shen Shikui felt at that time that Ding Yi, the son-in-law, was accepted.

I want to be Daming, the best businessman who can invest.

Ding Yi took all the generals back to the mansion together with Shen Shikui and Zhang Tao from Pidao, and had a banquet for them at noon, and all the guests of honor were happy.

After the meal, Shen Shikui finally saw his daughter Shen Chuying.

"Daddy." Shen Chuying looked more mature and charming, and seemed to be much more cheerful than when she followed Mao Wenlong.

Shen Shikui walked around his daughter twice in surprise, looked left and right to see if there was no one there, and asked in a low voice, "Have you got it?"

"Ah." Shen Chuying was taken aback for a moment, then, blushing, she stomped her feet and said, "Father, what are you talking about, you're really ashamed."

"No way." Shen Shikui punched his left palm with his right fist, and said anxiously: "Haven't you been here for more than half a month, haven't you?"

Shen Chuying blushed: "What do you think of Brother Ding? Brother Ding is a gentleman, gentle and refined, and treats his daughter with courtesy, so he is not as dirty as you think."

"..." Shen Shikui's mind was filled with tens of thousands of grasshoppers. If Ding Yi was a gentleman, none of us, Daming, would be able to count.

However, Shen Chuying still had something to say that she didn't have the nerve to say, Brother Ding was a little dishonest every time, but her daughter liked it very much.

Of course, you can't tell Dad about this kind of thing.

Hearing that Ding Yi is a gentleman, Shen Shikui became anxious: "I heard that there is Qin Nan and Ruan Wenyan beside Ding Yi. If you don't work harder, we will fall behind."

Shen Chuying blushed, and whispered: "Brother Ding rarely goes to Dengzhou, at most once a month. Sister Ruan treats me like a younger sister. We have a good relationship."

"Silly girl, a good relationship is one thing, but these things must be fought for." Shen Shikui thought to himself, I have always been wise, why is my daughter so stupid?

"My daughter is different from Sister Ruan. Both my daughter and Sister Qin have been married. Daddy, don't worry about this kind of thing. My daughter has her own opinions. Brother Ding will not treat me badly."

Shen Shikui was stunned, Ruan Wenyan had never been married, and in the future Ding Yi would marry a regular wife, I'm afraid it must be Ruan Wenyan.

After all, the daughter has to be a concubine.

Although a little reconciled, he can still accept it.

"Hey." Shen Shikui sighed, but there was nothing he could do.

But he got the news from Shen Chuying, and Ding Yi promised that he would definitely marry Shen Chuying in the future.

But he is not very relieved, Ding Yi's words cannot be easily believed.

Soon he left his daughter's residence to discuss with Ding Yi alone.

"Grandpa Shen has seen his daughter, don't worry, Chu Ying is doing well here, Ding Yi will definitely take good care of her." Ding Yi said kindly.

While talking, he made a cup of tea himself, and then brought it over.

Shocked by Pang Ruo, Shen Shikui quickly got up to take it. Official Ding Yi was not as old as him, but he was stronger in soldiers and horses, so of course he dared not disrespect him.

"Seeing Yingying so happy, I didn't have anything to worry about, it's just that I have been in the army for many years, hey—"

Shen Shikui's eyes were red, and he wiped his eyes with his hand: "Since Mao Shuai passed away and Phi Island was in turmoil, I finally figured it out myself."

"You are so old, what more can you ask for?"

"As long as my daughter is happy, I'm better than anything else."

"If I can hug a grandson earlier, I also want to quit the army, enjoy my old age and live a happy life."

Ding Yi looked thoughtful, and after a while, he said: "There are so many things going on right now, it's really not the time to talk about marriage and have children."

"..." Shen Shikui's eyes were wide open.

"But Mr. Shen, you trust me."

I believe you are to blame, Shen Shikui thought.

"When everything settles down, I will definitely not lose the initial profit."

"I told Chuying that we want to have two children in the future, and one of them must be named Shen."

"..." Shen Shikui's eyes widened.

An incredible look on his face.

He had no children, and another nephew named Shen Zhixiang. Historically, Shen Zhixiang surrendered after Shen Shikui's death.

Hearing Ding Yi's words, he really couldn't believe it.

Staring at Ding Yi, his eyes slowly became moist.

It was fake crying just now, but now he is really moved by Ding Yi.

Damn it, this little bastard's mouth, no wonder my family's Chu Ying couldn't stop it.

Shen Shikui had to admit that Ding Yi really understood people's hearts.

"Ding Yi, do you mean what you say?" His expression quickly became serious, and his voice became much more severe.

Ding Yi didn't swear anything. After thinking for a while, he said slowly: "Actually, strictly speaking, I'm also a businessman."

"Grandpa Shen wants to make money and earn a future. In the Ming Dynasty, he can live happier than ordinary people."

"What I want to earn is something else. Everyone has the same goal, to get what you want most at the lowest price."

Shen Shikui was also thoughtful, thinking about what Ding Yi wants to earn?More important than money?
"Businessmen must be creditable if they want to survive in this world."

"I think credit is the most important thing in everyone's life."

"It's easy to lose everything when you break your faith."

"I really can't think of any reason why I need to deceive you and Chuying."

Shen Shikui felt that he could not chat with Ding Yi alone, and he would always persuade him every time.

He's really inspiring.

And it always makes people feel that what he said is very reasonable.

Ding Yi is only 20 years old now, and Shen Shikui thinks he looks at least 40 years old.

Because a 20-year-old person would never be able to say such words and such truths.

"Hey." Shen Shikui sighed after hearing this, and then sat up straight.

At this moment, he finally said loudly: "The Phi Island Navy originally had 43 ships, including 26 warships and [-] merchant ships."

"Later, I changed several warships, and the merchant ships became 28 ships."

"One of the two largest thousand-material merchant ships will be given to you, General Ding, as a dowry."

"Hehe." Although Ding Yi has a thick skin, he is a little embarrassed right now.

After all, it was obtained by threatening Shen Chuying.

"Last time when Liu Xingzhi made a disturbance, General Ding, you got another ten ships. Right now, I only have sixteen warships and sixteen merchant ships."

Ding Yi didn't change his face, and asked in a deep voice: "Except for the necessary personnel, gunners, how much can you load in total?"

Shen Shikui thought for a while: "60 catties can hold it."

Right now he only has a large ship with thousands of materials in hand, and the rest of the merchant ships are relatively small, because the big ones were taken away by Ding Yi when Liu Xingzhi made trouble.

He also couldn't figure out why Ding Yi wanted merchant ships instead of warships.

"Okay, this time, let's join forces and make a lot of money." Ding Yi laughed.
