Daming pirates

For Xiaotian, today's bowl of rice is also a bowl of uncooked rice. His strength is now more than enough to deal with one ship. If the situation is good, there will not be a big problem to deal with two merchant ships, but...

This time God sent three boats to his mouth.

The total number of boatmen on the other party's three boats was much larger than the number of people he brought this time. He was not sure if he could eat these three boats at once, because he was afraid that after the three boats had been discussed in advance,

The three families are trying to kill him together, otherwise it will be really difficult for him to eat the fat meat in his mouth. On the contrary, if he is not careful, he may be bitten hard by others.

He didn't have a good rest all night, and kept thinking about how to eat these pieces of fat. He didn't squint for a while until dawn.

Just when he woke up and was still a little confused, Liu Wang suddenly shouted outside his cabin: "Turn on the helm, the ship over there has lowered a sampan and is heading towards our ship!"

"

After hearing this, Yu Xiaotian suddenly woke up a lot. He stood up and rubbed his face with his hands to make himself more awake. Then he lifted his legs and walked out of the cabin. Liu Wang quickly handed him an oilcloth poncho to cover him.

Survived the rain.

Yu Xiaotian walked to the side of the boat, looked up and saw a small sampan being rowed by two boatmen, carrying a person towards their boat, so he understood what they meant.

"Pick him up! Let's be polite first, then fight, and then talk to them!" Yu Xiaotian said to Meng Kuangintang who followed him out.

Crazy Meng muttered: "What are we talking about? The rain will stop soon, so we can just pull it down!"

Yu Xiaotian turned to look at Crazy Meng, smiled slightly, and asked him: "Uncle Meng, are you sure you can capture all three of their boats?"

After hearing this, Madman Meng thought about it and shook his head and said: "One line is not a big problem, two is a bit reluctant, and three, I guess we don't have enough manpower! If that doesn't work, let's let one go and find a way to keep two. First

Let Binzi hold down one, and after we take down one, we can deal with the remaining one! If that doesn't work, one will do!"

Madman Meng's suggestion was more realistic, but after thinking about it, Yu Xiaotian still shook his head and said, "What if they tie up three boats together and fight with us?"

Crazy Meng spread his hands and shook his head: "Then there's nothing we can do! We can deal with two boats at most. If we take three boats, we won't be able to take them!"

Yu Xiaotian nodded and said: "So, instead of forcing them to jump over the wall, it's better to talk about the conditions first. It's almost the Chinese New Year. If we can negotiate, it's better not to take action! It will save the lives of our brothers.

Not this year!”

After hearing this, Madman Meng nodded: "That's true! If they know better, that's true!"

While they were talking, the sampan rowed to the side of Sea Wolf's boat. A middle-aged man stood on the sampan, raised his head and clasped his fists towards the boat and said loudly: "May I ask who is in charge here? Can I get on the boat and talk to you?"

Yu Xiaotian looked up at the sky. The rain was getting lighter and lighter, turning into a drizzle. It was about to stop. He turned to Madman Meng and said a few words. Madman Meng nodded and turned to go down to the cabin.

, with a loud roar, all the sea wolves sheltering from the rain in the cabin immediately agreed, and quickly rushed out of the cabin with a bang, and lined up on the side of the ship at a very fast speed.

I saw sea wolves all wearing black scarves on their heads, indigo blue cloth clothes, cowhide belts around their waists, thin-soled short cloth boots on their feet, and leggings on their legs, lining up energetically at the side of the ship.

After finishing, he looked eagerly towards the sampan under the boat.

The man who came to negotiate was so frightened when he saw such a scene that he nearly fell down on the sampan. Only then did Yu Xiaotian lean forward and clasp his fists and said: "Nice to meet you! Haha! I'm the Sea Wolf."

!Please ask this friend to come up and talk about it!”

A ladder was thrown off the side of the ship. The middle-aged man tremblingly grabbed the ladder, and with the help of the people above him pulling it and the people below pushing him, he climbed onto Yu Xiaotian's boat.

Yu Xiaotian looked at the man and saw that he was wearing a cloth robe with an embroidered silk piece exposed underneath. This kind of dress was standard for merchants. Although merchants in the Ming Dynasty were rich, their status in the Ming Dynasty was not high.

, Zhu Yuanzhang looked down on merchants and decreed that all merchants were not allowed to wear silk clothes, and they were only allowed to wear cloth clothes, otherwise it would be a violation of the law.

Therefore, although the merchants were very rich, they did not dare to wear silk clothes in public. They could only wear them secretly at home. When they came out, they could only put on another cloth outside. In order to express their feelings, the merchants

To show off their wealth, they often put on a silk dress underneath, but also want to expose it a little for others to see.

This kind of mentality makes people a little funny, but also a little helpless. Yu Xiaotian always feels that doing so is a bit deceptive.

This businessman is of medium stature and has a decent appearance, but his complexion is darker and rougher. It is obvious that this man is also someone who runs boats outside all year round.

"My lord, Zhou Xian, Pingyang, Wenzhou Prefecture, you are so polite! May I ask what you call this good man?" After the businessman got on the boat, he did not dare to neglect. He glanced at the sea wolves on the boat secretly and quickly bowed and clasped his fists.

He paid tribute to Xiaotian and reported his name and origin.

Yu Xiaotian heard that his accent was indeed from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so he waved his hand and said: "You're welcome, my surname is Yu, just call us Hailang!"

Zhou Xian was very nervous at the moment, and the clothes on his body were a little wet. He was shivering slightly. He didn’t know whether he was nervous or cold. In short, he looked very stiff. With a smile that was uglier than crying, he said to Xiaotian

: "Nice to meet you! I didn't know that the person I bumped into today was Mr. Yu. I'm disrespectful!"

Yu Xiaotian didn't bother to be polite to him, and replied forcefully: "Don't be polite to me, just tell me what you have to say! I like to be straightforward, and it's best to be straightforward!"

Zhou Xian's expression became even more rigid. He forced out a smile and said with a bow, "Oh! That's the best! I just came back from Guangdong and passed by here. I didn't know that this area is the territory of Master Yu."

, it did not take effect in advance, I hope you will forgive me!

We all make a living at sea, and it’s not easy to make a living. Today I met Mr. Yu, and I hope Mr. Yu can be generous and let me wait!

Of course, we can’t let Mr. Yu and the brothers go in vain, so I will give you some gifts to show my respect! I wonder if Mr. Yu can sell them on the next thin noodles and let us leave!"

"Oh? It seems that Shopkeeper Zhou knows the rules! It's easy to say! It's almost the Chinese New Year, who doesn't want to have a peaceful holiday? I guess Shopkeeper Zhou and the people on the boat also have their families at home.

Waiting for you to go back, Yu is not an unreasonable person. As long as it is suitable, we don't want to make it too tense, so it depends on how much you are willing to give!" Yu Xiaotian didn't talk nonsense to them at all, and talked directly

Showing his attitude, he is just waiting for the other party to make an offer.

Hearing what Yu Xiaotian said, Zhou Xian relaxed a little. Yu Xiaotian's words at least made him understand that this time they, the sea wolves, also knew that their ships were difficult to deal with, and they were willing to pay them to let them go. This is

The basis for negotiation.

So Zhou Xiangqian said with a smile: "This is the best. Yu Da is really happy to be in charge. Since this is the case, it's easy to say. Last night, the three masters of the ship got together to discuss it. It's a holiday soon, so it can't be too shabby.

, so when we came here, the other two owners said they were willing to take thirty taels of silver for each boat, and I took some more to make up forty taels of silver, a total of one hundred taels, and I hope the boss will accept it!"

When Yu Xiaotian heard this, his eyebrows knitted together. He looked at the three boats in the bay and sneered: "Shopkeeper Zhou, it's not that I'm unreasonable. Your three boats have just returned from the south. I guess this

I made a lot of money in one round trip! I only took out one hundred taels of silver for three boats. Are you looking down on me, Yu? Although Yu has not seen many big events, but this one hundred taels of silver is not enough.

See it in your eyes!

You go back! Tell them to the other two shopkeepers, if you have this little sincerity, then forget it, we will see the real chapter soon, you rush out, it is your ability, I can only blame me for not having the ability, if you rush out

If you don’t go out, you can’t blame me for not giving you a chance! There’s no need to negotiate for these one hundred taels of silver!”

When Zhou Xian heard this, he quickly waved his hands and said: "Don't be angry at Master Yu, everything is easy to talk about! It's better not to fall out! If Master Yu is not satisfied, we can still discuss it. I don't know how much Master Yu will be satisfied with.

You might as well tell them the number so that we can discuss it with them when we go back next time!"

Yu Xiaotian frowned and observed the three boats opposite. After thinking for a moment, he stretched out his hand and said, "In that case, I, Yu, will give you shopkeeper Zhou a face! You go back and tell them that one boat costs two hundred taels of silver."

, if the negotiation is successful, I can save you fifty taels of silver, a total of five hundred and fifty taels of silver, take it and leave!"

When Zhou Xian heard this, his face suddenly turned into a bitter melon, and he burst into tears, kowtowing to Yu Xiaotian with his fists and complaining: "Master, this is too much! You must know that nowadays, the business of running boats is really profitable.

Not much. After a trip for several months, in addition to paying for the boatmen and paying tribute to the local officials, I really can't make much. If I take out two hundred taels of silver at once, I will lose a lot on this trip back.

I hope that if the master is so generous and generous, I can at least let you go back and discuss it with them!"

Yu Xiaotian was a little impatient and threatened: "Then from the perspective of Shopkeeper Zhou, is it appropriate for you to leave the ship and goods here? Or is it appropriate to shed some blood and go back in peace? Our human lives are cheap and not worth much.

The money, if it doesn’t work out, it will be broken up in two pieces!”

"Helmsman, I don't think you're going to be too chatty with this guy. Let them see how powerful we are. I think they have a lot of good things on board. Why bother saying anything to them? You can just keep them all behind! It'll save you money."

They treat us like beggars!" Madman Meng was listening, then jumped out and pointed at Zhou Xian and said.

Zhou Xian was so scared that he quickly persuaded Yu Xiaotian, please don't be anxious, everything is easy to talk about, it's best not to get into a stalemate, give them a little more relief, and let them go this time!

As a result, Yu Xiaotian turned around and stopped talking to him. He waved Liu Laoliu over and followed Zhou Xian to continue.

(It seems that today I still have to thank brother io770526! He gave me rewards for three consecutive days, and the cold wind can't repay me! I can only say thank you!)
