Li An ’s purpose of going south is to completely open the Maritime Silk Road, not only to open it, but also to station a large number of soldiers and horses along the way to carry out the necessary maintenance on this important route, making this route truly a safe and stable The road to getting rich.

Li An couldn’t stand the doubts of the merchants. However, what he said was not as good as the persuasive action. Therefore, Li An did not intend to explain too much, but only expressed his decision slightly for the merchants to see. He acts.

In fact, the Imperial Court can send troops south, and the merchants are already very happy. They dare not have too much extravagance. As long as the Imperial Court goes south to hit the pirates, even if they cannot be wiped out, the behavior of the pirates will definitely be more low-key in the future. It ’s good for them,

Li An would like to know the losses of Guangzhou merchants and how many merchants in the city have ever engaged in maritime trade and whether they have ever encountered pirates.

“How many waiters are businessmen?”

Li An’s trader refers to merchants doing maritime trade, and the concept of trader is relative to sitting business.

Merchants are also divided into categories. Selling commodities back and forth at multiple trading points is a trader, walking means walking, and sitting on a business means staying in one place. They buy the trader ’s item and then sell it to a local 100 surname, satisfying 100 The surname’s daily needs and make a certain profit.

In many areas, the trader and the trader cannot do it at the same time. This is the rule of doing business. The trader can only wholesale the goods to the trader and let the trader sell to the old 100 surnames. Finish the business.

However, many merchants in Guangzhou have already done business. Now they see that some merchants earn more money once they go overseas than they have been sitting for ten years. idea.

It’s a pity that they don’t have the contacts of the older generation of businessmen. They are not familiar with pirates, and they don’t even know what Sea Territory has pirates. Often they are attacked by pirates 9 times out of 1 times. Have lost money, and even businessmen who have committed suicide because of bankruptcy are mostly there.

“Minister Li, most of us are local businessmen in Guangzhou. However, we have gone out to do business as a merchant in recent years. Unfortunately, pirates are rampant. The business of this outbound merchant is really not easy to do. If we are not careful, we will lose our lives.

An elderly businessman frowned and told.

“Isn’t it? The sea is dangerous, and the most terrifying one is the pirate.”

“We people are better, we can finally save our lives, and many of them have made some money, but many of our colleagues have been ruined by pirates, and some have lost their lives.”

“Don’t dare to go to sea in the second half of the year, I can only obediently and honestly do business in Guangzhou and watch others make money.”

Several young businessmen followed.

Li An hearing this, feeling a little interesting, asked quickly: “Watching others make money? What does this mean, who are you watching making money?”

Finished looking towards this young businessman who speaks without careful diction.

“Back to Minister Li, the gang of merchants of the Zhang Clan Chamber of Commerce, I don’t know what happened. They can safely return to the sea and trade, and they almost never encounter pirate intrusion, which is really puzzling.”

The young businessman said sourly.

As a businessman, watching other people make a lot of money, but he can’t even drink soup.

“Oh, the merchants of Zhang Clan Chamber of Commerce are very difficult to deal with! They can’t even touch the pirates.”

Li An grinned and felt that there must be a Story inside. The encounter of these merchants and the encounter of the Zhang Clan Chamber of Commerce in front of him are all challenging probabilistics.

“Minister Li, this is true. The chairman of the Zhang Clan Chamber of Commerce is called Zhang Batian. When he was young, he was a fisherman who went out fishing. He was good at making heroes. Later, he stopped fishing somehow and started his career. Businessmen have made a fortune in just a few years. There are more than a dozen large houses in Guangzhou, and the furnishings at home are also very particular. “

Said another businessman.

“Fishermen changed their careers to become merchants and made a fortune, but it seems that they are capable people? Why don’t you join the Zhang Clan Chamber of Commerce? Isn’t it good to get rich together?”

Li An asked curiously.

“Going, Zhang Batian cannot look at me, let me do business satisfactorily, and don’t go to the muddy water of the merchant.”

A young businessman speak without careful diction, and then quickly covered his mouth with his hands and lowered his head to the side.

“Minister Li, This Old One also interviewed Zhang Batian. According to him, if there are too many merchants, there is no guarantee of profits. Therefore, he is not willing to help us. Later, we insisted on being a merchant. He did not make any statement. It ’s just that we ca n’t avoid pirates anymore, and we ca n’t compare with him. ”

Said an elderly businessman.

“Then you think, Zhang Batian, why can they always avoid the invasion of pirates, but you can’t.”

Li An asked curiously.

“Minister Li, Zhang Batian is an old fisherman, very familiar with the situation in the sea, and good at making heroes, maybe these heroes will recognize the Sea of ​​Consciousness thief, but we are only guessing, not at all any substantial evidence, can Prove that they are related to pirates. “

“Yes! Minister Li, although this Zhang Batian does not share business experience with us, he has done a lot of good things locally in Guangzhou. He is a good person with the old name 100 in mind. He has never heard of any evil things he has done. . “

“Also, also, Zhang Batian ’s caravan did not choose the time to go to sea, and did not avoid wind and rain. Once, my merchant ship followed behind, and after a few days, we encountered a big wave. We only went to Zhancheng to take shelter, The merchant ships of Zhang Batian continue to sail, and they are not afraid of the waves to overturn their merchant ships. “

Several businessmen were talking at once.

Li An has heard so much and is more and more interested in meeting Zhang Batian. Needless to say, this Old Guy is definitely a very difficult to deal with character, and Li An is almost sure, this guy must be It has something to do with the pirates, otherwise, no matter how familiar with the sea, it is impossible.

After talking about one hour with dozens of businessmen, Li An has learned most of the situation, waved his hand, let the merchants go back, and promised again that he will never let the pirates go, so as to reassure these guys.

“Feiyu, please send some more people to check this Zhang Batian. The more you check the more detailed the better.”

Before Li An meets Zhang Batian, he should investigate the background of this person to see if they are consistent with what the businessmen said just now, so as to avoid these businessmen talking indiscriminately because of jealousy.

“Yes, Eldest Brother, I will do it now.”

Li Feiyu personally visited this matter and sent more than 100 people.

Soon, the situation of the investigation was reported, which was basically consistent with the situation reported by the businessmen just now. Zhang Batian was indeed a very prestigious businessperson. Moreover, he did a lot of good deeds in Guangzhou City and was well received by the poor 100 people.

However, Li An always feels that there is a problem here. The more a person does good deeds, the more likely there is a problem. This was done intentionally to make up for the deficiencies in his heart.

Since ancient times, there are the most hypocrites. Corrupt officials of all dynasties and generations like to do incense in temples, blessing them not to go out of the window, blessing them to be corrupt officials forever, and greed for more and more money.

In addition to corrupt officials, the wealthy since ancient times is also very keen to do charity, especially the businessman who suddenly became rich, because of fear of being jealous and hated by others, they have chosen to do charity to calm the jealousy of everyone.

Even criminal syndicates of a gangster nature will choose to do some charity when they are large enough to alleviate their sins and put on a hypocritical coat.

“There are not many fishermen in Guangzhou, and they usually fish anywhere.”

Li An looked towards the little man next to me and asked.

“Minister Li, there are not many fishermen in Guangzhou, Lei Province and Yazhou are more, all add up to 10000 people! Some of them are fishing in the offshore waters, but many will go to the south of Yazhou Beyond a thousand li go fishing, there are fewer people there, more fish. “

The little man quickly answered.

“There are 10000 fishermen, quite a few! They still go fishing a few thousand miles south of Yazhou, are they afraid of encountering pirates?”

Li An asked.

“The fishermen are poor people, and the fishing boats are generally not very big. There is nothing to rob. The pirates go up to the boat to see the fish and shrimps. When they see the good ones, they take them away and leave.

Said the little man.

“Well, this is also true. There must be many fishermen from the pirates who want to eat fish and shrimp. They can fish themselves, but they really don’t need to rob fishermen.”

Li An suddenly felt stupid and asked such stupid words.

Pirates, businessmen, merchants, Li An just arrived in Guangzhou, they came into contact with these three forces, they are all chasing interests, but the behavior of pirates harms the interests of Great Tang, it must be eliminated, if the merchants damage Great The behavior of Tang’s interest, Li An will not be light.

In the evening, Li An tastes delicious food while enjoying beautiful singing and dancing, and enjoys the pleasure of Beauty feeding from time to time.

The Beauty selected by Guangzhou Provincial Governor is very watery and very young. The most important thing is to be more sensible. The Beauty who accompanies Li An is not at all cautious.

Li An is also polite. She entered the couch with 2 water spirits. Li An ’s status has reached this step. There is no need to worry about it at all. Even if she is accused of working style to Emperor, it does not matter. Emperor Laugh at most.

Waking up early in the morning, Li An stretched his lazy waist. The two little girls from last night had a very good service, which made Li An quite satisfied and felt that the whole person was a lot easier.

“Minister Li, Zhang Batian is here.”

Li An was stunned for a moment, and said: “Please, please.”

Soon, a shrivelled old man came in alone.

“This Worthless Commoner Zhang Batian, meet Minister Li.”

Li An reached out quickly: “You don’t have to be polite, please sit down.”

“This Official just came to Guangzhou, I heard that there is a great person Zhang Weng, it’s you!”

“It’s This Worthless Commoner, what I should do in Jiji Township, can’t be called kind people.”

Zhang Batian answered modestly and secretly looked towards Li An from time to time, trying to understand Li An through observation.

Although, Zhang Batian has long understood Li An’s details, who in the Great Tang doesn’t know Li An, but those are all heard by others, he has never seen Li An himself, at this moment is The first time he saw Li An, he had to observe Li An in person, and with his several decades of life experience, he was still able to see some eyebrows.

“This Official heard that you are the leader of the Guangzhou businessmen, and you have been a businessman for several decades, and you have never encountered the robbery of pirates, really?”

Li An looked at Zhang Batian and asked.

“This Old One is just a nobody, not a leader. It is too much touted by its peers. As for pirates, it is still often encountered, and it has been robbed, and the number is less.”

Zhang Batian responded calmly and humbly.

“Oh, you also often encounter pirates, why do others say that your caravan is not lost again?”

Li An continued to inquire, and felt that this Zhang Batian was very interesting, but dare to speak the truth boldly.

“Do not hide Minister Li. This Old One has far more roads at sea than ordinary people. It is relatively familiar with pirates. It can be passed by buying some road money. It is generally not robbed. However, it is often encountered on this road. There are many tolls for many pirates. “

Zhang Batian continued to answer with humility and humility, without any intention of concealment.

Because he can see that, Li An is confident and a master who is not easy to fool. If he talks for a while and says that his caravan has never encountered pirates, Li An will definitely not believe it, so he will be embarrassed, Speaking frankly directly, he said that he was extorted when he encountered a pirate, and Li An had no choice but to help Imperial Court not make decisions for merchants? What’s wrong with the businessman being blackmailed by the pirates.

“Hehe! It seems that the pirates still give you a good face. If you change to another businessman, you will grab it directly. You only need to pay the toll.”

Li An said in disbelief.

“Not exactly. Pirates have many shares and have different temperaments. Some only need to pay the toll. All merchants can pass through the money. Some pirates are extremely rampant and like to kill and rob. Get it done. “

Zhang Batian spoke replied.

“What do you think?”

Li An asked curiously.

“This is a trade secret. However, since Minister Li asked, this Old One did not dare to hide it. That is to do what it wants. After being robbed, send a few ships of goods directly next time, beg magnanimous, do n’t kill anyone , Promise that we will pay tolls every time, come a few more times, be patient, and always do the job. Although this is suspected of colluding with pirates, I am a businessman and other businessmen who are not pirate adversaries. Otherwise, we will suffer greater losses. , Also a helpless move! “

Zhang Batian pretended to be helpless.

“Oh, it seems that you are not easy! Since your Chamber of Commerce can have a good relationship with pirates, why not agree to other merchants to join you? Isn’t it good to make money together?”

Li An asked.

“Minister Li, Great Tang and overseas markets are limited. The more merchants you join, the less guaranteed your profits will be. The reason why things are rare is expensive, Minister Li should understand.”

Zhang Batian replied once again.
