    ?

    When Danniang was misunderstood by Mrs. Cai as Huo Dingpo, the first thing she said was that she wanted to see Tian Baozai. No matter what kind of person Cai Qian was, it was impossible for her not to have some thoughts in her heart.

    Li Yan came out all the way, Cai's people had weird eyesight, but Tianbaozi was famous outside, and after the Tianbo Division meeting was even more prosperous, no one dared to stop him at this time and ask: "What did my lady Huoding tell you?"

    "Miss Ajiu." Li Yan happened to catch a glimpse of Yan Ajiu who was walking forward with two wine urns in his arms: "I don't know where Boss Cai is now."

    Yan Ajiu stared at Li Yan expressionlessly, but did not answer.

    "I want to talk to your boss Cai."

    Li Yan smiled.

    "My boss said that he doesn't want to see guests today."

    "Then, you pass a message to him for me. Is it okay?"

    "Can."

    "You tell Cai Qian, I can take her away."

    "¡­¡­Um?"

    "I'm done talking, you just pass on the message."

    "Thirteen years ago, Guangdong issued an order to ban smoking. Since then, the opium of the British has been transferred from the Calcutta seaport to our Tianbo Division, and then flowed into the coast of South China Sea. Here, I can monopolize 40% of the Maori, Hess  Ting left me, and it would take ten times more manpower and energy to make it possible to expand the business to the scale it is today."

    Hastings, the Governor of England in India, and the Great Director of the East India Company.

    Beside Cai holding hands, there is a wine urn, and the sweet aroma of wine is overflowing.  There was a hint of drunkenness on his face, and Li Yan was sitting across from him.

    Yan Ajiu filled the oars with wine for the two, and stood aside.

    Li Yan also gulped down the wine in the cup. This "Taiqing Hongyun" was originally a tribute wine in the Han Dynasty.  He shook his head, half joking, half sincerely said:

    "It's true that Boss Cai's land is big business, but opium is something that ruins the country and harms the people. Boss Cai's money will never be spent in a few lifetimes. Why do such depraved activities?"

    Cai Qian was not also annoyed, but nodded, "I do believe that what Brother Tianbao said was sincere. It's just that it's a good word, but it's also" The corner of his mouth glanced down: "Useless words."

    He waved his hand and said: "People in the world are chasing profit, and a mantis will die if he is a chariot. Only those who take advantage of the trend can stand on the top of the wave."

    Li Yan shook his head, disagreeing with this from the bottom of his heart.  It's just that he is most lazy to argue about the truth, so it's up to Cai Qian to say it.

    "The princes of the temple know the scourge of opium poisoning, but what they don't see is the unprecedented change after opium, the crisis of turbulent land and sinking."

    Li Yan raised his glass: "I would like to hear more about it."

    Maybe Cai Qian was drunk, maybe after the meeting of the Tianbo Division, Cai's thoughts did not need to be hidden from the Nanyang pirates.

    "The country of red hair, in the west of the world, where does the East India Company grow so much opium?"

    "India."

    "That's right. Ten years ago, Hastings commanded the battle of the subjugation of Mysore, India."

    Cai Qian said again: "Brother Tianbao, look up and see what the world looks like today? The world outside the country has long been ruled by the British. Just wait and see, within fifty years, India will not be a country. But the red-haired boy  The cannon does not only refer to India. Today, the southeast sea is more than ten thousand miles away, and all countries are engaged in business and missionary work, and they can come and go freely. From India to Nanyang, and from Nanyang to China, Yang entrusts the name of reconciliation, and secretly plans to devour it."

    Cai Qian's eyes were full of light: "The above two sentences of mine, today's officials, will take decades to figure out the meaning."

    He paused: "I don't need to sell opium, Tianbosi, and I can even prevent the East India Company from flowing into Nanyang. As a result, you have seen"

    If it was someone else, they would naturally be confused, but who is Li Yan, he put down the wine glass all at once.

    "You already knew that the red-haired boy was going to fight in Guangdong?"

    "Hehe, Brother Tianbao can be more direct. What you want to ask is, is it me who is behind the scenes of the red-haired man's attack on Guangdong?"

    Li Yan raised his eyebrows and did not speak.

    Cai Qian snapped his fingers: "England, France, Luocha, Portugal, the four countries are now about to stop fighting, and the country is in depression. I just revealed to Hastings that the government is forcing me too hard. His goods will be sold by the end of the year."  It can¡¯t be shipped in, Hastings is an adventurer, what he can¡¯t get on the negotiating table, he has to get it from the battlefield, and I don¡¯t need to tease the rest.¡±

    Li Yan bowed his head: "At the beginning of the fall of Guangdong, the Anglo-Portuguese coalition forces sailed into the South Seas in the name of suppressing bandits.There are not many people who know about this, but there are also quite a few. You are the one who fanned the flames on Fulin's side Aren't you afraid of playing with fire and setting yourself on fire?  "

    Cai Qian took a sip of the wine cup and said leisurely, "Just because you can't see other people clenching their fists, doesn't mean that this fist won't hit you in the face. Knowing the pain early is often better than knowing the pain is coming later."  many."

    He glanced at Li Yan again: "Of course, those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be honored."

    Li Yan smacked his mouth: "Boss Cai, I'm a rough man, I can't do anything except fight, but what you said today taught me one thing."

    "oh."

    "When a man loves Wu Gou, he should not dance for the sake of conspiracy."

    Cai Qian was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Brother Tianbao was joking, now, I'm going to dance Wu hook for you, oh no, for your Xiu'er leader."

    Li Yan snorted, picked and picked, threw two peanuts into his mouth, and said vaguely: "The words just now came out of your mouth and rotted in your stomach. Let's get down to business."

    "What's the business?"

    "The Empress Huoding."

    Cai Qian didn't speak, he glanced at Yan Ajiu behind him calmly.

    "Why, my mouth is bigger?"

    "It's okay, it's okay. Brother Tianbao has something to say."

    "You don't have to ask why, just promise me three conditions, Empress Huoding, I will take you away."

    Yan Ajiu couldn't hold back, the tear mole turned into a drop of water and fell down, looking at Li Yan with murderous eyes.

    Cai Qian didn't stop him, but he didn't reprimand Li Yan, he just drank his drink.

    The atmosphere in the room was extremely cold.

    Yan Ajiu clenched her fists, and after a long time, she relaxed a little bit, her head drooping.

    Cai Qian hoarsely said: "Please speak."

    "First, Fulin's promise must be fulfilled before dispatching troops. He promised to give me a ransom, which seems to be 300,000 taels."

    "This is what was said before, so naturally it should count."

    "What I mean is, here, give me one hundred thousand taels of jewellery, live pigs and sheep, and jade. I will make a list for you. The other two hundred thousand taels will be in cash."

    "anything else?"

    "Secondly, I heard that the government has a blueprint for making a 200-meter-long ship. One copy is in the government's Ministry of Industry, and the other is in the hands of the Treasure Ship Lin. Boss Cai's hands and eyes are as good as the sky. Give me a copy.  It's not difficult."

    "I know that there are large shipyards on Lantau Island, and old shipbuilders passed down for generations, but I'm sorry to say that the raw materials needed for this kind of ship can no longer be found in Nanyang."

    "You don't have to worry about it."

    Li Yan smiled, Nanyang didn¡¯t have any, but Yanfu¡¯s fruits were endless, and a large number of walks put the purchase authority that was not needed on the auction house, and there were no raw materials that could not be bought.

    "third¡­¡­"

    Li Yan's lips moved.

    Cai Qian listened for a long time, his expression gradually became solemn, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth: "Forgive me for being stupid. Brother Tianbao's move, other than forcing the red-haired dog to jump over the wall, I can't see the slightest reason. What's more, Lantau Island is blessed with unique geographical advantages. Why should Hongqi get involved?"  "

    "You just think that my move is to gain a little fame behind Bo."

    Cai Qian played with the wine cup: "Haha, no wonder, no wonder Brother Tianbao ridiculed me for being a conspirator. The Red Flag Gang is indeed worthy of the Zheng family's reputation in Baodao."

    "Boss Cai, are you embarrassing me?"

    "Where, where~"

    "Boss Cai, you are a businessman chasing fame and fortune, and I am a warrior who fights with swords and guns. When the danger comes, I will be ruthless, but I eat blood and eat, and I don't buy state weapons."

    Cai Qian's tone couldn't tell the emotion: "Bo Xueshi? Tianbao leader, you have 60,000 people under your command! Do you still need you to buy blood food?"

    Li Yan clenched his fists and shook his head again. Taiqing Hongyun gained strength and his head swelled: "Yes, 60,000 people."

    Cai Qian sized up Li Yan a few times: "It's a deal."

    Li Yan nodded: "It's a deal."

    "Zhang He won't be honest."

    "That's not better."

    "Oh, I forgot, it's not a day or two since your Hongqi gang covets Taiping Wenshu."

    "When will the troops be dispatched?"

    "Tonight." (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
