Chapter 968 Big Pit

He Lingchuan frowned: "Are there only 600 people left in the Bailong tribe who were driven out of Ya Kingdom?"

Before the establishment of the Ya State, the State of Ya was at odds with the State of Mou and was closer to Bejia. Therefore, the State of Mou supported several close forces there as a means of checking and balancing. But after the establishment of Yaguo, the forces pro-Mouguo, such as the Bailong people, were in trouble.

"It is said that in order to avoid the pursuit of Yaguo, the tribe was divided into several groups and fled. The one who came to our island is one of them. The leader is called Wan Qisong, who is the brother of the late clan leader. I saw that he was brave and good at fighting. He has a bad temper. He didn't even blink when taking the courage test, and he is also a ruthless person with his head stuck in his waistband. "Qiu Hu has obviously done some background work on the new members, "They have been very defensive since they arrived on the island. He is well-behaved, doesn’t get close to other people, doesn’t cause trouble, and even does odd jobs while waiting for formation.”

Renee also said: "Other farm workers are afraid of them and dare not approach them."

Guan Ke said in a sinister voice: "I obey the rules because I don't want to draw attention to myself."

"Since they are fleeing, they can't help but take their families with them." He Lingchuan pondered, "It's just that they don't dare to bring their families to the island. They have ulterior motives."

Are you afraid that you won’t be able to use your hands and feet when doing things?

Wang Fubao said angrily: "Okay, they have set their sights on this Feng Shui treasure land!"

"Wan Qisong's team includes at least a thousand people including his family members. Since he is the leader, he has to be responsible for providing food and drink for more than a thousand mouths, and he also has to find a place to live. For an exile team, how can Is it that easy?" He Lingchuan knows how heavy this burden is.

Qiu Hu also nodded: "Yaguo has said that no one is allowed to accept the Bailong tribe, otherwise the army will invade the territory."

Yaguo is so aggressive because there are all small countries around it, and no one can defeat it.

"So there is no place for them around here, and the desert islands offshore are all owned, unless they go to sea as pirates - there are many islands on our east and west sides, and there are quite a lot of pirates."

After much calculation, only Yangshan Islands is the most suitable for these Bailong people. There are products, arable land, and it is close to the mainland. The natural conditions are excellent.

The Yangshan Islands are too big and surrounded by oceans. Even if Yaguo knew that they were settling here, they would not be able to send a large army.

Islands are natural barriers. It is not unreasonable that refugees like to run to the sea to avoid disaster.

After the basic situation was clarified, Qiu Hu and others broke out in cold sweat on their backs.

Have they been so busy lately that they can't even see clearly the disaster that's right in front of them, and they still want Renee, a girl, to remind them!

He Lingchuan said to Min Tianxi: "Send your men to test, keep an eye on their leader; and find out where their relatives are hiding. There are more than 600 Bailong people, it is impossible for no one to leak the news!"

Min Tian is not as fond of martial arts as Qiu Hu, but he is approachable, likes to talk to people while doing work, and is more diplomatic in dealing with others. Originally, the cohesion of the second group of pirates was greater than that of the other two groups, which was basically due to him.

He Lingchuan believes that he can also use his strengths here.

Min Tianxi took over the job immediately.

"We are expanding our recruitment aggressively, and it is inevitable that many foreign spies will mix in. You should be more cautious in your words and deeds to avoid leaking secrets." He Lingchuan warned all his subordinates, "We will seize the opportunity to crack down hard in the future to serve as a warning to others!"

Everyone responded in unison.

He Lingchuan turned to Ding Zuodong and asked: "When can the inner armor of the escort be delivered?"

"I ordered 1,500 sets the day before yesterday. It will take a month and a half at the earliest."

"It's too slow. Please pay more to hurry up." This will be used during training.

"yes."

He Lingchuan took out a cloth bag from the storage ring and opened it. There were dozens of banknotes inside.

The face amounts of the top few tickets were so large that Renee felt a little suffocated just by looking at them. She had never seen so much money in her life.

Ding Zuodong did not hide his surprise.

He Lingchuan had taken Min Tianxi and Dong Rui on a trip without telling him where they were going, but it was like this when they came back!

"These banknotes have a total face value of 220,000 taels." He Lingchuan's voice was as calm as water. Then he took out 150,000 taels and handed it to Ding Zuodong. "Put these into your account first. If you don't use enough, come to me."

Ding Zuodong calmed down, put away the banknotes and said happily: "My boss is great, this money will be enough for a long time!"

Two hundred and twenty thousand taels, the boss produced more than two hundred thousand taels within a few days!

Didn't the Lu family want to bring them down? Didn't they want to take over the Yangshan Islands after they went bankrupt?

Then just wait, we won’t be able to stop it until the end of time!

This 220,000 yuan was a timely gift, and Ding Zuodong and everyone's hearts suddenly settled down.

He Lingchuan laughed and cursed: "Not only do you have to spend money, you also have to make money for me, otherwise no amount of money will be enough."

"Yes, yes!" Ding Zuodong smiled so hard that his crow's feet appeared. "In the past few days since you have been away, we have negotiated several large orders, which can sell more than 40,000 barrels of oil in total. We are preparing to ship out on the day when the store officially opens. Good luck!"

"Very good." Forty thousand barrels of oil is not a big amount, but this good start is very important.

Seeing that everyone else had finished speaking, Guan Ke coughed slightly and stepped forward: "Lord, I also have news here."

"explain."

"Do you still remember the twenty-seven cargo ships sold by the Asan Chamber of Commerce? Something happened."

He Lingchuan then became interested: "What?"

A few days ago, the Asan Chamber of Commerce, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, sold 27 cargo ships at a low price. He Lingchuan thought for a long time, and Guan Ke tried his best to dissuade him, so he did not buy it.

"The three chambers of commerce that paid for the purchase sent people to collect the ships, but they failed and were beaten." Guan Ke coughed, "I later learned that the Yashan Chamber of Commerce had mortgaged all these ships to Platinum Island in the east two years ago. He sold the ships this time to kill two birds with one stone. It's just that this matter was done secretly and few people in the local area knew about it."

Leni asked curiously: "Then who will these ships belong to?"

"The three chambers of commerce will probably ask the Blade Port Maritime Customs for arbitration. But the mortgage of the Yashan Chamber of Commerce occurred on Platinum Island. According to the local principle, Platinum Island may not pay attention to the results of the Maritime Customs; what's more, the Maritime Customs does not have to take this case, so in the end, the three chambers of commerce can only negotiate with Platinum Island on their own."

"This is a big pit." Guan Ke said to He Lingchuan, "If we buy these cargo ships, we will be the ones arguing with Platinum Island now."

This not only costs more than 20,000 taels of silver, but also takes a lot of energy.

What He Lingchuan needs most now is accidents and troubles.

"Also, I found the assistant who tipped off Chief Steward Ding." Guan Ke added, "That guy has never been the most well-informed person in Blade Harbor, but this time he knew that the Yashan Chamber of Commerce was going to sell the ship earlier than everyone else. Something was a little strange, so I asked him about it, and found out that someone else had also leaked the news to him, so he quickly reported it to Chief Steward Ding. Now he can't find the source of the news."
