Two days later, the three giant ships docked at the Eastern City of Langguo. Qin Hao opened the small window and saw the land after a long absence. The bustling people, Dongcheng Port and Fucheng Port were about the same size. The three giant ships occupied the pier as soon as they docked a chunk.

About two quarters of an hour later, I saw a group of people rushing to the pier, led by a middle-aged man wearing clogs and wearing a similar kimono.

"Ah Jiu, is anyone coming to meet our fleet?" Qin Hao turned to ask Ah Jiu who was beside him.

"Languo also has a Maritime Trade Department. We need to be recommended by them when we do business with local businessmen." Ah Jiu hurriedly changed his official uniform, taking time to glance at Qin Hao, seeing that he was still wearing ordinary uniform, and urged: "Hurry up and change the official uniform. Later, I will follow Wang Li to meet the officials of the Languo Maritime Trade Department."

Qin Hao also quickly changed his clothes, tidied up his appearance, and waited with Ah Jiu for the summoning of the commander. Sure enough, within a moment, someone knocked on the door and called them to meet on the deck.

Excluding Xiaogong, 14 people from the Maritime Trade Department gathered on the deck. The commander saw that the number of people was complete, and led the team to disembark and stood behind Wang Li's queue.

Qin Hao glanced at it and found that there were only 26 people from the three ships. He whispered to Ah Jiu, "Ah Jiu, are these people from the Maritime Trade Department? There are very few people."

"Yes, there are indeed few, that's why I invited you in." Ah Jiu glanced at Qin Hao leisurely, and then said, "We will train more people in the future."

Wang Li greeted the officials of Langguo in Langyu, and the familiar officers of the two countries also started talking. Qin Hao and Ah Jiu followed Lao Fang. Lao Fang didn't know Langyu, and the three waited bored.

"Today is for banquets and drinking, you young people should go out to toast more." Lao Fang whispered in the ears of the two.

"Languo's sake and sashimi are pretty good. Young people can eat more. I have a bad stomach and can't stand the cold."

"I heard that Yusheng is raw sea fish, is it really edible?" Ah Jiu stuck out her tongue, a little bit unacceptable.

Qin Hao felt that if it was fresh sashimi, it would be delicious with sake, so he persuaded Ah Jiu: "I have eaten it before, it is very fresh, you can try it."

As the old Fang said, after the greetings, the Languo officials brought everyone from the Maritime Trade Department to a magnificent hall. Small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions are all in the hall, which is very elegant. A low table with some pillows and sitting pillows beside it.

Beautifully arranged food plates were brought up one after another. Snow-white and pink fish fillets lay on them like petals, and bottles of wine were also brought up. After Wang Li and the Langguo officials opened the wine, everyone began to eat and drink.

"Old Qin, do you want to eat it directly?" Ah Jiu picked up the thin fish fillet with chopsticks and asked Qin Hao uncertainly,

Qin Hao also picked up a few slices, dipped them in wasabi soy sauce, and put them in his mouth. It tasted like fresh sea: "Dip some soy sauce and eat directly."

There is no pollution in this era, and the sashimi is so sweet and fresh that it melts in your mouth, leaving only the fragrance of fish fat.

"Old Qin, it's very fragrant. I thought it would be very fishy, ​​but it turned out not at all." Ah Jiu seemed to have opened another door to gourmet food, and ate happily, sipping a little wine, feeling very intoxicated.

After a while, the staff of the Languo Maritime Trade Department began toasting table by table, introducing, Qin Hao hurriedly ate a few plates of fish, and also brought Lao Fang, and Ah Jiu greeted them everywhere.

Both Qin Hao and Ajiu are good at Langyu, and with just a few words, they get along well with the Languo people, and after drinking a glass of wine, they call each other brothers.

Unexpectedly, Ah Jiu is young and has a good capacity for alcohol. He drank with Qin Hao and all the Languo people. Within a meal, the Languo people got to know these two massive men.

The Langguo official whispered to Wang Li in a drunken voice: "Heroes come out of youth, what a formidable young man."

Wang Li was proud of himself, and said modestly: "Where, where, there is still a grind."

Everyone drank so much that they staggered back to the ship until late at night. The real deal will start tomorrow afternoon. After the personnel from the Maritime Trade Department come back, they can finally take a good bath, lie on the bed and sleep quickly. In the past, recharge your batteries for the days of trading.

Just as everyone was sleeping soundly and relaxing, two shadows disembarked from the boat and quickly disappeared into the darkness. The following shadow guards in night clothes followed quietly.

Qin Hao supported Ah Jiu to vomit by the window, and accidentally glanced at a few people who disembarked. His heart tightened, feeling that something was about to happen. After tracking, just wait and see.

On the second day, just after dawn, the dark guard quietly returned to the ship to report. General Shan looked solemn in the cabin. After listening quietly, he dismissed the dark guard, paced back and forth in the cabin, and made a decision after a while.

After breakfast, Qin Hao was led by Ah Jiu to General Shan's cabin, and Wang Li was also there. Only then did Qin Hao know that General Shan was on board the whole time. He thought it was just Wang Li who led the army out to sea.

"Qin Hao, this trip to sea is just a cover for doing business. The real purpose is to pull out the spies in the Maritime Trade Department who are associated with the pirates, and wipe out the pirates in one fell swoop." General Shan explained straight to the point: "My secret guards have caught the spies. According to the exact news, the pirates are stationed on an island less than a hundred miles away from the country of Lang, and they have gathered 500 people, planning to rob our ships when we return from the country of Euro."

"We have three ships with two hundred soldiers. The general officers and small porters of the Maritime Trade Department cannot participate in the battle. Compared with the number of pirates, there is a huge gap."

"Therefore, I need you to join us to fight against the enemy together. This is one of the reasons why I recruited you into the Maritime Trade Department."

"Then what are the other reasons?" Qin Hao followed General Shan's words and asked,

"I also want you to help Ah Jiu build a college to train experts in maritime trade. You should also know that there are only more than 20 people in the maritime trade department. The sea line will fill the treasury with silver." General Shan looked straight at Qin Hao: "I want to hear your opinion, whether you are willing to join in."

Qin Hao finally figured out some details, and deeply felt that General Shan was a scheming fox who actually set up such a trick to lure him into the urn.

"As long as you are willing to join, His Majesty will not treat you badly. The Maritime Trade Department will give you [-]% of the profit. How much you can share depends on your ability." General Shan threw out an even bigger temptation.

"I don't want to be an official, and I don't want to be restrained when I do things. If you can guarantee these two points, I can try to run the academy. The [-]% profit is a bit high. I hope I won't be charged with money in the future. If that's the case , I can tone it down now, I just want to live a simple life with my husband." Qin Hao said while looking at General Shan, to be honest, he is really not the general's opponent in terms of scheming.

General Shan laughed loudly, and said frankly: "Then you have underestimated the emperor and me, and you will share [-]% of the profits, and [-]% of the treasury's profits. If you are worried, I will ask His Majesty to make an order."

"It's not necessary to make an order. I believe that the general is a man. I just explained my concerns in advance and communicated frankly."

"Don't worry, Ah Jiu will handle all matters of the Maritime Trade Department. All you need to do is to assist him from the sidelines. No one will restrict you from doing things, let alone socialize with officials." General Shan gave Qin Hao a shot of reassurance.

Ah Jiu finally found a chance to speak: "Old Qin, let's work together to achieve some results. You can work with peace of mind and get paid, and I will take care of the rest. I know the character of the emperor's brother better than you. He will only support us."

Qin Hao didn't expect Ah Jiu to have such a big background, and he actually called the emperor's brother. Although he could understand Ah Jiu's concealment, he still regarded him as a friend, and still felt a little uncomfortable.

"I wanted to tell you a long time ago. Brother Shan refused to let me, saying that he was afraid that I would be kidnapped by spies." Ah Jiu saw that Qin Hao's eyes were wrong, and immediately shifted the responsibility to General Shan.

"It doesn't matter what my identity is, we are still good brothers." Ah Jiuzui promised sweetly,

General Shan silently took the scapegoat and returned to the topic of annihilating the pirates: "The most important thing now is to get rid of the pirates' nest and go home early for the New Year. Everyone think about how to fight."

"We sold the goods in the past two days, and directly attacked the pirate's lair, taking advantage of their unpreparedness to launch a surprise attack. We have a small number of people, so that we will not suffer losses." Wang Li has fought with General Shan for many years and has his own way of using troops.

"Brother Shan, let's send people to sneak into the island first, find out the terrain, and kill the island at night. It's not difficult to win in one fell swoop." Ah Jiu added the details, eager to try.

General Shan glanced at Qin Hao, and said loudly, "Qin Hao, what do you think?"

"I think both of them are right. A frontal attack is definitely not enough to win more with less. My idea is to find someone to sneak into the island to familiarize themselves with the terrain, burn the granaries and ships on the island, and surround the island for a few days. The people on the island lost all their strength from hunger, so we rushed up to attack the island with minimal casualties."

General Shan nodded as he listened, and said gratifiedly, "I agree with Qin Hao, we want to wipe out the pirates with the least casualties."

Wang Li and Ah Jiu also nodded frequently, approving Qin Hao's style of play, Ah Jiu said excitedly: "I'll sneak into the island to burn granaries and ships first, Lao Qin, come with me."

"The one who dives into the island first has better water skills. Ajiu, how far can you swim with your breath held?" Qin Hao is very rational, and some things cannot be achieved by blood alone.

Ah Jiu choked, as a northerner, he didn't know how to swim: "Can't we go boating?"

"You have to predict the worst and prepare the best. You can't go." Qin Hao refused him mercilessly.

"Let me go. I grew up near the water, and being in the water is the same as being on land." Wang Li raised his hand and joined Qin Hao's advance team instead of Ah Jiu.

In the end, General Shan made a decision: "Qin Hao and Wang Li lead the advance team, responsible for burning ships and granaries, drawing maps, and Ah Jiu and I lead the soldiers to attack the island and clean up the battlefield."

The four of them worked out a battle plan in detail, determined the time point and the part each person was responsible for, and then dispersed. Wang Li also needed to handle the goods transaction in the afternoon.
