Daming pirates

Although they were only the outermost members of Sea Wolf, now that Sea Wolf was backing them up, the guys at Mao Shengyuan also felt that their faces were bright, so they had already cleaned up the shop before Li Yi came back.

However, Maoshengyuan evacuated in a hurry, and many bulky goods were not disposed of in time. When they were confiscated by the government, they were all lost. They either fell into the hands of individual officials and were sold, or were taken away by some government officials.

Stolen.

Therefore, the damage to shops all over Maoshengyuan was not small, and even the inside of the shop was severely damaged. Some boxes and cabinets that could not be moved were smashed. These things could only be repaired before they could be reopened.

Li Yi returned to the shop. After meeting the clerks and stewards, he comforted them with kind words and began to order them to work. He invited many craftsmen to renovate the shop.

In addition, he also began to negotiate with the government to recover the lost property. This was made clear when Yu Xiaotian and Cai Shanji were negotiating at that time, and the government did not dare to say that they would not compensate. So after the negotiations, the government

More or less, they all took out some money and compensated it to Mao Shengyuan.

And with the return of Li Yi and the reopening of Maoshengyuan, a large amount of goods began to be shipped to shops in various places and put on the shelves for sale.

As soon as Maoshengyuan opened, businessmen from all over the country immediately flocked here to order various goods from Maoshengyuan. Even if they didn't need much for the time being, they would come here to buy some goods, and at least establish some friendship and cooperation, which would provide them with a better future.

Continue to deal with the sea wolf to pave the way.

Therefore, Maoshengyuan's business has been very popular as soon as it reopened. This is also related to the goods they have on hand, because the soap and scented soap "created" by Yu Xiaotian have been out of stock for several months at this time.

It has long been hard to find these things, and now these things have become luxuries pursued by wealthy people. Suddenly the goods are out of stock, asking them to go back to the soap locust and soap they used to use. They are really not used to it, so as soon as Maoshengyuan opened

, and received a large number of orders.

In addition, Seawolf's glass industry has now been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Anyone with a lot of money would be embarrassed to say that they are rich if they don't make a glass product. And new things like glass mirrors have made countless women...

They are all flocking to them. Since they have been out of stock for several months, they have become very scarce, so many people come to buy them.

In addition, through the military operations of the past few months, Sea Wolf has also grabbed a lot of goods. These things are piled up in the warehouses of Sea Wolf. Except for the things that Sea Wolf needs for itself, they will be transferred to Tamsui or other places.

If you go to other places, of course you have to get rid of some luxuries.

Although Sea Wolf has a maritime trade business that can be resold to the Portuguese, Spanish, and Dutch, there are still many things that need to be sold on land.

And Maoshengyuan has naturally become a place where stolen goods are sold openly. In the past, they would be a little restrained from doing this kind of thing, but now their selling of stolen goods has become an open matter, and the government does not even dare to let it go.

I can only stare at Mao Shengyuan selling these stolen goods.

Fortunately, Maoshengyuan was able to reopen so quickly. For Hailang, it was a complete relief for them, because in the past few months, although all the workshops on Nanri Island have been suspended, the ones in Tamsui and Chicken Cage have been shut down.

The workshop is still producing non-stop.

They now have a large stockpile of various goods they produce. Although the business in Fujian has stopped, they can still be shipped in Guangdong and Zhejiang, but after all, it will affect some of their sales. Now these goods can finally be realized.

.

As for the business matters, Yu Xiaotian has now handed them over to the council to take care of. Now, there is a special business office under the council. Li Yi is temporarily in charge. The business office has two

One department is external, that is, responsible for export trade, and the other is internal, responsible for the sales of goods in the interior of Ming Dynasty.

Li Yi is now in charge of the commercial office. This is because Li Yi has firmly stood by Yu Xiaotian during all the turmoil and has not shown any betrayal or alienation towards Xiaotian. Therefore, Li Yi

Now that Yu Xiaotian's trust has been completely gained, a business office was established under the council hall, and Li Yi was responsible for this matter. After all, he is the most professional in this matter, and there is no problem with loyalty. In addition to his overview

In addition to the major affairs of the Commercial Department, the overall internal trade is also directly under his charge.

However, Yu Xiaotian left the external affairs to Xu Xinsu, who had just been conquered by him. After Xu Xinsu's incident, his entire power had been destroyed by the Sea Wolf, so it can be said that Xu Xinsu has no way out.

He knew that his life and that of his family's life now depended on Xiaotian's hands.

Now the Fujian government has nothing to do with Hailang. If he doesn't work for Yu Xiaotian honestly, then Yu Xiaotian can wipe him and even his family completely with just one sentence.

His family is on land, and no one can protect him.

As for the government, they are now scared to death of Yu Xiaotian. The huge Weitou Bay is under the control of Yu Xiaotian, and they don't dare to let go. No matter how capable Xu Xinsu is, if Yu Xiaotian wants to kill him

If it were his family, the government would never risk quarreling with Sea Wolf again to protect him.

Therefore, after Xu Xinsu was captured this time, Yu Xiaotian did not kill him. He himself was already disheartened. He knew that he was still useful to Xiaotian, so Yu Xiaotian would keep his life if he could save his life.

, he was already very happy, and as for his business, he no longer thought about it.

What's more, Yu Xiaotian also had a secret agreement with him and gave him a condition. As long as he followed Yu Xiaotian in the future, Yu Xiaotian would not touch his family or his family's property, and would also give them

Provide protection.

In addition, in the foreign trade business, Yu Xiaotian also promised to give him Xu Xinsu 5% of the shares. On the surface, this half of the shares does not seem to be much, but Xu Xinsu knows very well that Yu Xiaotian is now

How big is his business plate? He used to claim to be a giant businessman in Quanzhou, but the business he holds is nothing compared to Sea Wolf's business. It can't be any smaller.

Even if Yu Xiaotian only gives him half of the shares, his income will never be lower than before every year, and will even greatly exceed his previous profits.

Since Yu Xiaotian has made such an offer to Xu Xinsu, Xu Xinsu naturally has nothing to say. From all aspects, it is the wisest choice for him to take refuge in Xiaotian now, so Xu Xinsu can only be steady and steady.

He began to work hard for Yu Xiaotian.

After Xu Xinsu surrendered to Yu Xiaotian, the first thing he focused on was the trade with Japan. The first reason why he had to rush to do this was because he had been involved in this trade before.

Since he came to Japan, he has mastered a large amount of resources for trade with Japan and is the most familiar with this area.

Moreover, Xu Xinsu had Li Dan as an ally in Japan before, and the relationship between the two parties was quite good. However, after Li Dan died, this matter was taken away by Zheng Yiguan, and Xu Xinsu and Zheng Yiguan were at odds with each other and caused a lot of trouble.

With the opening of diplomatic relations, Zheng Yiguan also cut off Xu Xinsu's trade route with Japan.

In the past two years, Xu Xinsu had suffered a lot from this, and Zheng Yiguan once blocked the trade route between him and the Dutch, constantly intercepting the merchant ships he sent to the high officials.

Now that Zheng Yiguan was driven out of the Fujian coast by Yu Xiaotian, Zheng Yiguan also lost the ability to continue to control trade with Japan, including himself, and also lost a large number of sources of goods for trade with Japan.

Last winter, Zheng Yiguan was supposed to ship a large amount of goods to Japan, but Zheng Yiguan was kicked out of Fujian by Yu Xiaotian. After he lost Fujian as a source of goods, he could no longer organize how many goods were shipped to Japan.

.

In addition, his own strength was greatly damaged, and many of his men were scattered. The ships lost about 70 to 80%, which made him worse. Last year, he did not send a few ships to Japan. At this time, Daming products in Japan were out of stock.

A big gap appeared.

Therefore, after settling the matter in Fujian, Yu Xiaotian immediately ordered Xu Xinsu to resume trade with Japan as quickly as possible, and took advantage of Zheng Yiguan's weakest moment to completely control the channels of trade with Japan and

Zheng Yiguan completely squeezed out this trade route.

But if you want to open up trade routes in Japan, strength alone is not enough, because if you want to trade in Japan, you must have a license issued by the shogunate. Without this license, even if the goods are shipped to Hirado, it will not be possible.

Unable to sell, unless Yu Xiaotian now mobilizes a very large fleet to destroy the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan, otherwise, this trade route cannot be opened by force alone.

But Xu Xinsu has such permission. With Xu Xinsu and his previous connections in Japan, as long as good goods can be shipped to Hirado, Zheng Yiguan, who has no supply, can be quickly squeezed out.

this trade route.

So after the Chinese New Year, the Sea Wolf's military operations had not yet completely ended, and the trade work with Japan began in full swing.

Now Sea Wolf has trained a group of fire chiefs, accepted the teachings of Spanish captives, and has initially mastered some abilities to conduct long voyages at sea without relying on markers, and has also mastered the use of quadrants, also known as quadrants, and right angles.

instruments and telescopes, and also imitated them, so that Sea Wolf now has the ability to no longer rely on needle paths to sail.

In the past, due to the regression of China's navigation technology, after the Ming Dynasty, it was not possible to sail directly to Japan. The only way to sail to Japan was to rely on the needle of the compass and make a large circle along the Ryukyu Islands. This is why Fujian's trade with Japan was so obvious.

Status is very important.

Most merchant ships have to sail from here, and then make a big detour along the Ryukyu Islands to Japan. If they don't start from Fujian, they can't sail to Japan safely.

But in this way, it is equivalent to covering an extra two-thirds of the distance, so that one merchant ship per year can only set off for Japan in the winter season, and can only return to Fujian after the spring of the following year, and can only make one trip a year.
