Great Song Pirate

Chapter 458
Of course Xu Yi had no objection, so he said to Li Mutian: "That's no problem, you can just set up a factory here, not only is it a sugar factory, but your Li family also has many other businesses, you might as well move here , set up factories here, such as silk weaving workshops, porcelain kilns, etc., you can come here to set up factories, I welcome you with both hands! And not only you can come, but also let other people come here to set up factories, we You can collect less taxes from you, and the things you produce from here can be easily transported to the north and south, which will be much lower than your cost on land! Also, I took a place in Annan's place. The harbor called Toulon is going to be operated as the largest commercial port in Southeast Asia, and Mutian might as well send some people there to trade with countries in Southeast Asia, and there will be a lot of windfall, are you willing?" Xu Yizhi So for Li Mutian to say this, the reason is that the situation in Danshui village has basically stabilized now, but so far, it is only a place where food can be produced, and their main source of income still depends on the support they get from plundering. Well, what he can really get out is just a piece of soap. He has to think about it for the future, and build Liuqiu Island into a commercial distribution center and become their future economic pillar. This matter cannot be done by his own people. Yes, only by attracting a large number of land-based businessmen to invest and build factories here, can the development of various economies here be promoted, so he first thought of the Li family, intending to use the huge power of the Li family to drive a large number of merchants to do business here .

Li Mutian was overjoyed when he heard that, so he quickly agreed. Now he is worried about this matter. King Ji already knew about the Li family's banditry. There may be no way for Song to take Xu Yi, but for their Li family, crushing them to death is as easy as crushing an ant, and the century-old foundation of their Li family will immediately collapse, not to mention after getting to know Xu Yi and listening to his words It is expected that the Song Dynasty will turn against the Kingdom of Jin sooner or later, and that chaos will happen sooner or later. At this time, Xu Yi raised this matter, which just provided the Li family with the best escape route. People who have no long-term considerations must have near-term worries. However, according to the ancestral teachings left by his ancestors, their businessmen must know how to leave a way out for themselves in order to be foolproof, so this is exactly what he wishes for.

"Brother Xu is not very familiar with the Toulon that Brother Xu mentioned, but I do know that there is a Dazhan Haikou that was the only place for ships going to and from Nanyang, but I don't know where this Toulon is?" Li Mutian Then he asked, although he knew that Xu Yi had led his army to win a battle in Annan, but he was not very clear about the specific situation of Xu Yi and the others in this battle.

Xu Yi laughed out loud on the spot: "Dazhanhaikou? I'm afraid there will be no such place in the future! Dazhanhaikou has been razed to the ground by me, and it is already considered the territory of our Fubo army, and this Toulon is occupying Dazhanhaikou. Not far to the north of Haikou is a good natural harbor, which has been ceded to us by the Annan people in the name of lease. Now it is not in the same place as Dazhanhaikou. I have taken a fancy to this as an excellent harbor, so I plan to use This place replaces Dazhanhaikou and becomes an important port in Nanyang. This place is at the junction of Annan and Champa. Commodities and goods can be easily transported to the two countries. It is definitely a place to make a fortune. Taking care of you, I was the first to notify you of this good thing, whether you can seize this opportunity to make a fortune is up to you!"

Li Mutian felt that his brain was on the spot on the spot. He only knew that Xu Yi had gained a lot from this expedition. He didn't expect that he would actually lay down a territory in Annan and Zhanpo with his thousands of troops. , and he is also a very discerning person, he immediately caught the business opportunity from Xu Yi's words, so he quickly got up and thanked him: "Mutian thank you for your care, brother Xu, don't worry! Mutian will set off immediately to go back tomorrow. , report this matter to my father, and send capable family members to Toulon to set up shops within the year. As for setting up factories here, Mutian will never delay. I went to the Hangzhou area, and I was idle and had nothing to do, so I just sent them here first to build a factory here. In addition, we have a large amount of refined iron in Hangzhou. I always feel that it is not safe to store it there. It is better to transfer it here for storage. how?"

Li Mutian's last words were just right for Xu Yi. He was thinking about steel. There is a coal mine in Jilongzhai, and he plans to use Jilongzhai as a heavy industry base for Fubo Army. The ordnance generals of his Fubo Army are all produced there. Although he also reserves a lot of steel, after all, he used to have limited financial resources, and the amount of steel he ate was far less than that of the Li family. The Li family proposed to transport the steel here for storage. It happened to meet their future demand for steel, and it was like giving them a pillow when they were dozing off, so they immediately replied: "There is no problem with this matter, but the refined iron stored by your Li family does not need to be shipped here, it can be shipped directly to us." Another chicken coop village, where we have a large iron factory, and we will need a large amount of steel in the future, maybe our Fubo army will be able to accept all your goods in the future, and you can store these refined iron with me. Don't worry, you don't have to worry about any accidents on the land, let your work be wasted!"

The two profiteers sat together, hit it off, and finalized a lot of things. They drank until midnight, and Li Mu left Xu Yi's mansion in a dizzy humming tune. It was completely resolved, Li Mutian hummed happily, and was very lucky to know such a powerful friend!

It was only then that Xu Yi turned around the inner house reeking of alcohol, looked up and saw the lights in Yiqing's room, so he laughed and pushed open the door of Yiqing's room...

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Yi sent Li Mutian away first, and then called everyone here to deal with the issue of rewards for the soldiers who went out this time. Those who stayed at home, including Gao Xu and Gao Jun, also had their own rewards. , and the reward was quite generous, which made the whole army rejoice, and then Xu Yi explained the matter here to Gao Xu, Yang Zaixing and others, and he did not continue to delay here. The reasoning is very good, there is no need for him to worry about anything, he decided to go back to Jilongzhai immediately to see the situation there, if this time he really went to the Wa Kingdom, he must make sufficient preparations, the Wa Kingdom is now in the Heian era, and the national strength is relatively strong It can be regarded as a period of prosperity. Although their samurai groups are now fighting each other, overall speaking, the Wa Kingdom is relatively peaceful at this time. Their emperor still has a certain ability to centralize power. Once he provokes the Wa Kingdom If so, they are not easy to mess with. It is guaranteed that this battle will be much more difficult than that of Annan. In addition, the Japanese kingdom is surrounded by seas, there are many ships, and the Japanese warriors are also very brave. Otherwise, it will not happen to future generations. The Yuan Dynasty was unable to attack the Wa Kingdom for a long time, but was hit by a hurricane twice and fell short. He also lost the lives of 10,000+ troops and thousands of warships. Compared with the later Yuan Dynasty, his current strength is not enough. To be compared with them!
Moreover, there is not much time left for him by the giant cart of history, so he has to carefully consider this matter. He still does not have enough strength to swallow a large area of ​​the Japanese territory, so even if he sends troops this time, it is only a punitive conquest , the other is to take the opportunity to make a fortune in the country of Japan, and it is now winter, and the north is already cold. If there is no sufficient preparation, the southern soldiers under his current command alone can freeze them all. Half dead, it would be a shame to run back after being frozen!
Anyway, the entire army of the Water Cat is basically wiped out now, and it is already useless to lead troops to go there immediately, so he will not rush to send troops before he is fully prepared. This is Xu Yi. He had already made up his mind on the way back from Annan, so what he had to do now was to make full preparations as soon as possible, and then talk about the expedition.

Back to Jilongzhai this time, Yingchun and the others also went back to Jilongzhai together, that is the home that Xu Yi arranged for them, and the garment workshop they are in charge of is also there, everyone is naturally indispensable To go to the pier to see Xu Yi off, Xu Yi once again told everyone on the pier that no matter whether they send troops or not, they must do their own things well. If they really want to gain a foothold here, they don’t have a strong army. It is unimaginable. Of course, prosperity and stability here are also needed. Both are indispensable. Everyone nodded in agreement, please rest assured Xu Yi.

Returning to Jilongzhai this time, Xu Yi only brought a few boats full of valuables. Under the leadership of the Zonghao, he sailed out of the mouth of the Tamsui River, all the way north along the coast, and saw many places along the coast. There are people. Compared with the barrenness here two years ago, it feels like it has begun to gain popularity. Everything is a thriving scene. From time to time, some villagers near the seaside are building some small fishing boats. There are even people Driving a small boat to fish on the sea, this change is what Xu Yi is very happy to see. In this era, there are people who have everything. If there is no one, everything is useless. After such a long time of hard work by him and his brothers, they Finally, he took the first step steadily and gained a foothold here. Only Xu Yi himself knew the hardships and efforts he had put in.
