Liu Pei's words really touched them! His family knows his own affairs, and the goods produced in the workshops they control are in short supply every year. Especially those Westerners, their demand for goods is simply insatiable! They need all the goods in the Ming Dynasty and want to buy them with silver!

If it is really like Liu Pei said, if more maritime merchants transport goods, they can expand the workshop and produce more goods. Plant more mulberry trees and produce more silk! These things can be exchanged for white silver! So these people agreed to Liu Pei's request without hesitation.

After they confirmed that Liu Pei had no other requirements, the two sides quickly entered the discussion on details. The followers of these people were all business veterans. They were sophisticated and familiar with commerce, so they naturally tried their best to save prices.

But Liu Pei was not fighting alone! The department store provided Liu Pei with sufficient manpower reserves. Those younger up-and-comers were no worse than their seniors. They fought against these people on behalf of Liu Pei! Liu Pei accompanied these people to have a tea and chat.

This discussion reached the 10th day of the lamp. Liu Pei interrupted the quarrel between the two sides and said to several people: "My wise men, it's too late today, and you're tired from afar. Why don't we wait to use our meals first and then discuss it tomorrow?"

These people are generally old, and even younger people are far away from their forties. They are already exhausted after the bumps at the sea and long-term observation and discussion, so they naturally agreed to Liu Pei's request.

Liu Pei also tried his best to greet them. All kinds of seafood from the sea were sent up like flowing water. The two sides had already abandoned all their grudges and were devoted to money, so the atmosphere between the table was very harmonious.

At the end of the banquet, the old man surnamed Li actually suggested to Liu Pei: "When I see you today, the Dragon King's magical change can really make me ashamed. It's a pity that the Dragon King is not upright! If the Dragon King trusts me, I am willing to contact some people in the center and jointly recommend the Dragon King to become the sect general of the Quanzhou Navy!"

Everyone here applauded after hearing this! They all expressed their willingness to make some efforts on this matter. They all said it was like

It is a pity for a talent like Dragon King to surrender to the wild. He must serve the court before he can be granted a title of marquis and generals as soon as possible, and glorify his ancestors.

Liu Pei really sneered in his heart when he heard this. He understood very well what these people meant. These people knew that they could no longer solve themselves through force at sea, so they wanted to kill people with a soft knife. They dragged Liu Pei into the officialdom first, which was their home court.

There, Liu Pei will be trapped in layers of nets, and he cannot stretch his strength! At that time, they can use a series of ways such as sow discord, differentiation and disintegration to turn Liu Pei into a lonely man and finally become their watchdog!

Unfortunately, they didn't understand Liu Pei's true thoughts at all. However, Liu Pei didn't want to say much, but just bowed to everyone and said, "Thank you for your trust! But I have been leaning into the grass for a long time and have been used to being free and relaxed, and can't stand the restraint! I can only appreciate the kindness of all the wise men!"

Everyone was not in a hurry to see that Liu Pei was not deceived. In their hearts, it was already like an ordinary person who could enter the officialdom! What's more, they could become a magnificent general of the court at the level of the general! So they felt that they were patient and slowly led Liu Pei into the game. So everyone stopped mentioning this matter and continued to drink and chat.

After two days of repeated entanglement, negotiations and quarrels, Liu Pei and these maritime merchants finally reached an agreement. First of all, the free trade zone is under the control of Liu Pei. However, they can send people to inspect the situation of the free trade zone to ensure the safety of the trade zone. However, they cannot interfere in any management of the trade zone. Liu Pei gave a serious warning at this point! "If someone interferes in the management, just take the body back!"

In addition, Liu Pei will charge 5% of the tax on every transaction in the free trade zone. Liu Pei guarantees that the tax will be used for the security and infrastructure maintenance of the Penghu Free Trade Zone. And Liu Pei will assume the responsibility of paying goods after problems occur in the free trade zone.

Secondly, the silver paid by each ship changed from 5,000 taels to 3,000 taels. At the beginning, when Liu Pei asked for 5,000 taels, it was just a huge price. Because in real history, the price Zheng Zhilong asked for was 3,000 taels per ship. Judging from Zheng Zhilong's familiarity with sea trade, his asking price should be

Reasonable. It will not completely turn against others if you want to hurt others, but also maximize your own interests. So Liu Pei simply copied it!

The question about the third point of transformation of pirates has also been found. Liu Pei issued a token for pirates who were willing to convert into maritime merchants. In the next year, they would enjoy a certain discount by holding Liu Pei's token and purchasing products in a designated workshop.

The general direction is only these three, and there are many other details. Both parties have reached an agreement. After the agreement is completely reached, these talents left with their entourage.

After seeing these people off on the dock, Liu Pei was so happy that he slapped his high-high! From today on, he will have a large amount of stable wealth! His career will be on the fast lane.

Liu Pei issued a series of orders directly on the dock. The first one to issue the order was to Liu Jiang. He asked him to step up his rebellion against the pirates and absorb the pirates with doubts into the navy as much as possible. The rest of the old and weak can immigrate to Taiwan or change to maritime businessmen.

At the same time, Liu Pei asked him to make the bow flag as soon as possible and inform the news that the sea ship with the bow flag was protected by the Red Eyed Dragon King and no one was allowed to rob! Once someone took action, the Red Eyed Dragon King would completely wipe out the pirates who had taken action.

Then there were troops dispatched, and slaves went to Penghu to start building a free trade zone, and spread news that any maritime merchant was welcome to trade in the free trade zone. Then Wu Yizhou was arranged to send the fleet out to maintain the safety of the waterway.

Just as Liu Pei was giving the order happily, the people on the sea boat were also discussing him. One person looked at Liu Pei's figure and said, "What a pity, a big career, but it's going to be controlled by a pirate!"

Everyone nodded and said yes. They all felt that only they were the best, and everything and affairs must be in their control. Especially when Liu Pei clearly refused to recruit them, they felt that this was the case! Skillful robbery has become their instinct in their lives!

Liu Runlin was the most unhappy person among them. Because he was the first to promote the encirclement and suppression of Liu Pei, and he also made the most effort. The result was not successful, so naturally he was the most disappointed. However, his eyes turned and he thought about it and said, "Actually, there is no way."
