Big Bucktooth laughed and said: "There are many benefits to joining. At least, with Master Li's care, no one will dare to touch you on the sea. But if you don't join, I don't think it will be a big problem.

!There are too many people in the sea who are not under Mr. Li’s control.”

In fact, this is Big Buck Tooth setting up a trap for Liu Pei. Joining Li Dan's command will make it much easier just to purchase and sell goods. Then Liu Dahai won't have to find business and sources of goods by himself. There will be a lot of them.

People are willing to provide sources of goods and information.

But Big Buck Tooth suffered a loss this time. He wished that Liu Pei would not join so that he could get this situation back in the future. If Liu Pei joins Li Dan's staff and belongs to the same sect in the future, it will be hard to say whether he will take action in the future.

.So he deliberately said it in an understatement, just because he was afraid that Liu Pei would agree. But he didn't know that Liu Pei had actually made up his mind. His goal was much bigger than Li Dan.

Liu Pei perked up after hearing this, but his face didn't show it, and he said, "That means I can ship goods as usual?"

After hearing what Liu Pei said, Big Buck Tooth felt secretly happy, and then he said with a smile: "The sea is so big, it can't accommodate a few of your ships? Besides, who do you think Mr. Li is, who would talk to you, a little kid who just got into the water?"

Is it fishy?"

Rupei pondered for a moment and then said: "Then please give me a message to Mr. Li. Just say that I am used to being free and can't abide by the rules. I won't harm Mr. Li's reputation. Next time my ship goes to the Japanese country,

I will definitely bring a generous gift to Mr. Li to apologize! If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely go and see Mr. Li! I still respect Mr. Li, and I will also pay three respects to Mr. Li’s subordinates!"

Big Buck Tooth thought that his instigation had an effect, and he was secretly proud of himself, but he said: "Boy, you have to think clearly! Mr. Li doesn't just accept anyone he recruits, he likes you just to give you face.

Think about it."

Liu Pei had already made up his mind and was not willing to consider it. He said: "I have some reasons why I can't join Mr. Li's army. You don't need to persuade me because of your big buck teeth."

Big buck teeth were unwilling to say more, for fear that Liu Pei would change his mind. He said: "In that case, I will repay Master Li as you said. We will have a good talk when we meet at sea in the future."

Liu Pei also heard the threat in his words, but Liu Pei didn't care. Liu Pei's strength is growing every day. But Big Buck Tooth can only stand still. By the end of the year, Liu Pei will have four ships

The ship can join his team. By then, five cruisers with more than 40 guns and an armed merchant ship with 20 guns will join the fleet. I am afraid that Big Buck Tooth will retaliate against him but will be destroyed by Liu Pei.

.

So Liu Pei said: "In that case, let's just say goodbye."

The two small boats turned to the turning fleet respectively. Yang Fan, the big buck-toothed fleet, left. Liu Pei and the others waited for the big buck-toothed fleet.

The fleet disappeared into the horizon, and then the ship entered the harbor.

Along the way, Liu Pei kept thinking about the pros and cons of this negotiation without saying a word. Wu Yizhou and the others did not disturb him. It was not until they entered the village and everyone sat down that Liu Pei explained the whole story clearly to everyone.

As soon as Liu Pei finished speaking, Liu Dahai became anxious. Originally, Liu Pei didn't want to bring Liu Dahai with him when he decided to reinforce him. But considering that he was familiar with the characters in Haihai, he dragged him here. Liu Dahai thought Liu Pei didn't want to bring him with him.

Knowing Li Dan's strength, he said in panic: "My boss, you should know Li Dan, right? He has the greatest strength on the sea! All the people who run the sea are related to him to some extent. Guang Guang

He has dozens of ships in his fleet! If we offend him, we won’t be able to live a good life at sea!”

Liu Pei shook his head and said: "I don't think I have offended him. And he won't care about our small gang of five ships. I thought about it carefully and it was just a temporary motivation for him to recruit us. Just like the big guys

As Buck Teeth said, there are a lot of people in this sea that are not under his control. As long as we don’t harm his interests, I guess he won’t pay attention to us.”

Wu Yizhou said: "Master, what should we do next?"

Liu Pei tapped the table with his fingers and thought for a long time before saying to Liu Dahai: "Qibo, next time you go to Japan, bring a generous gift to Li Dan. You should know what to say."

Liu Daike was so frightened by Liu Pei's words! He said, "I'm going to give Li Dan a gift. Isn't that just a waste of money?"

Liu Pei laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry! He won't kill you! If he only has such a small mind, he won't be able to create such a big foundation! And if he wants to kill, he will kill me. You, a little guy, can't do it."

You can’t get into his eyes!”

Liu Dahai calmed down after hearing this. He thought about it carefully and found that Li Dan had indeed killed people, but he was not bloodthirsty. The people who died in Li Dan's hands more or less had some way of dying. He himself

If he appeared in front of him, he really didn't have to worry about being killed by him for no reason. So he stepped aside and said nothing, thinking about what to say when he saw Li Dan.

Liu Pei then said to Wu Yizhou: "We must be more vigilant here on the island to prevent the big buck teeth from sneak attacks. This guy has suffered this loss and is thinking about revenge. Especially beware of sneak attacks at night. In addition, our ship goes to Shandong

When traveling, you must avoid ships on the sea and not be discovered."

Wu Yizhou said: "I understand! I just thought about putting a small boat on the waterway at night to warn. In addition, when the ship returns here to rest in the future, half of the family members will be left to sleep on the ship every night. This way, if there is a warning, the response will be better

quick."

Liu Pei nodded and said: "This arrangement is good! But it doesn't necessarily mean sleeping on the boat.

Go up. You can build a military camp at the dock and let the servants sleep there. If you have something to do, you can rush to the ship in time. After all, they have worked hard at sea, and a bed that will not shake is very important to them!"

Wu Yizhou said: "I understand, head of the family. I will make arrangements immediately."

Liu Pei said: "No rush. Let me ask you, the population exchange from Dongjiang Town seems to have stopped recently. Why?"

Wu Yizhou cried and laughed and said: "Master, you don't know. Recently, Dongjiang Town has become a lot more stable and the situation has improved. Then Mao Wenlong is reluctant to exchange people for food! He said that unless the exchange ratio is increased or other supplies are used,

Exchange, otherwise there will be no exchange. After all, he needs people to fight the war."

Liu Pei curled his lips in dissatisfaction after hearing this. He was very dissatisfied with Mao Wenlong's short-sightedness. You know, there were indeed some strong men that Liu Pei took away, but most of them were women and children with no fighting ability. It was Liu Pei who took her back.

Those strong men were so hungry that they lost their human form and needed to be nursed back to health before they could be used.

And Liu Pei knew that Mao Wenlong was lying. Liu Pei learned from modern data that Mao Wenlong had no idea that this year would be the peak of Han people fleeing from Liaodong. He simply did not have the ability to take on such a large population. In history, fleeing to

A large number of people in Dongjiang Town starved to death. But these fugitive Han people were unwilling to work as slaves for Hou Jin even after they starved to death! Each of them had a blood feud with Hou Jin, so they fought without fear of death!

It's a pity that these good men were not taken seriously by the court and died in vain!

However, Liu Pei does not have many population sources at this time, so there is nothing he can do against Mao Wenlong for the time being. Liu Pei currently has a huge manpower gap, which will not be alleviated until next year. But by then it will be too late!

The few ships that were launched at the end of this year require no less than six to seven hundred people! And these people are often the main force in family production. So Liu Pei really doesn't dare to recruit servants from his tenants easily. That will lower the cost.

The loss in food production outweighs the gain.

Liu Pei is not unable to deal with Mao Wenlong. However, Liu Pei is willing to support Mao Wenlong and the Hou Jin Army to continue fighting. At the same time, he also wants to help those who escape to survive. Anyway, Liu Pei has enough food this year and has a surplus of food reserves. He should give more to Mao Wenlong.

It doesn't matter. Anyway, he will spend all his energy to start a war with the Houjin Army.

Liu Pei thought for a while and said: "Then you go and talk to him again. The negotiation will be whatever it is. The import of population cannot be stopped. Besides, he didn't say that the price of lumber will be increased, right?"

Wu Yizhou shook his head and said: "He sells the wood as normal and does not increase the price. Because he also knows that our family is the only buyer of the wood and no one else is buying it."
