Yin Feng was very tactful and immediately bowed: "Mr. Shen, the student has trivial matters urgently, so I will take it back first." He said that, and turned around and walked away, and took away all the sailors. Only Shen was left by the beach. A conscientious subordinate.

A group of helmsman sailors from the water village ran over the beach and discussed with Shen Yourong's personal soldiers. Suddenly, they knelt down around Chen Yourong. Chen Yourong's face turned pale and asked in a deep voice: "What are you trying to do! ”

An older helm worker stood up and said, "Sir, please pity me, please wait for the soldiers! The family is almost out of stock, give me some silver rewards and save my family!"

At that time, there were two sources of military service in Fujian Water Village. One was the military service selected by each guard, and the other was the temporary recruitment of sailors in various places every year, which was the so-called military service officer. All these two types of soldiers were often unable to lead. With enough food and pay, even if you receive the full amount of military pay, you will only make a living. Chen Yourong is an upright officer. Not only will he not deduct the military pay of his subordinates, he will also often give away half of his own share to him. However, due to strict military discipline, people are not allowed to be looted, so this little food and salary cannot solve the livelihood problems of sailors and soldiers who are living in difficulties.

That's why everyone is now kneeling down to Chen Yourong and demanding that the great contribution of driving away foreigners be taken down.

Chen Yourong knew that Yin Feng must have been watching from a distance, and was embarrassed and annoyed. He gritted his teeth and scolded coldly: "All up! The great Ming officers and soldiers are not willing to ask for someone like beggars!"

This unexpected comedy made Yin Feng more confident in persuading Chen Yourong to help him; at least he would help him temporarily. Chen Yourong walked over, as if he was still blushing at what happened just now, and he didn't know when he saw Yin Feng. How to speak? Chen Yourong is more than ten years older than Yin Feng, but he seems to be Yin Feng's father. Therefore, he does not want to be embarrassed in front of this young man.

Yin Feng said understandingly: "Mr. Shen, do you know the reason why our China United Company, that is, Huaxing United? "

"Before I came here, I asked for a little bit and found out a little bit. Ship owner Yin, I'm going to tell you, there are soldiers' relatives and friends in my water village who are rescued by you." Chen Yourong smiled mockingly; "Now," The coastal areas of Fujian, and even the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Guangdong, you are so righteous that you sacrifice your life to save people. Today, if I arrest you as a criminal who privately communicates with Japanese destiny, tomorrow I will be drowned by the people of Fujian. .”

Yin Feng smiled: "It's just a fame. Lord Shen Mingjian: Since he was running in the sea to do business, he has sworn: He will never point guns and cannons at his fellow villagers for no reason; the Chinese company is just for self-protection, He will do something rebellious against the court. Therefore, you can rest assured about us."

Chen Yourong raised his hand: "Forget it, you are a smart person, you don't need to say anything empty talk perfunctorily. I am here to deal with Hongmaoyi in this trip, not your Chinese company. I hope you can abide by the laws of the court, At least don’t do it too much so that I can’t get out of the market. Then, don’t worry about me being merciless.”

As he said that, he sighed and said, "Master Yin, you are young and talented, brave and resourceful, why not join the army? With your material, I can recommend you as the general, and be promoted to the general or higher in the future. It's not impossible..."

Yin Feng sneered: "If I join the army, can the court ask me to lead troops back to Luzon Island and avenge the 30,000 villagers who died in vain?"

Chen Yourong opened her mouth, speechless, she could only smile bitterly, and bowed and said, "Let's leave here, there will be a date later. Also, thank you for giving us such great contributions..." He turned around and left, directing the Ming army. The officers and soldiers of the Wuyu Navy went to seize the Dutch soldiers' heads, transported the seized weapons, and then got on the ship and went back.

Yin Feng sighed and watched Chen Yourong leave Penghu. Yin Feng felt very guilty about Chen Yourong: Originally, Chen Yourong became a "national hero" 400 years later by taking advantage of the "Yihuo Defends the Red Hair Fan". , Yin Feng has deprived him of the opportunity to become a national hero this time.

...A few days later, Yin Feng landed in Taiwan Port. At the same time, Chen Yourong returned to the Wuyu River Village, and the Fujian Governor's Office also received news that the Red Maverick Yi had been driven away. Officials at all levels celebrated each other. Finally, until the second At the beginning of the year, Chen Yourong received the rewarded gold, silver and cloth, worth a total of 1,000 taels of silver. He gave all of it to his subordinates, but he did not take a penny.

In the inner house of Yin Feng's house, Yin Feng sat on the head, Zeng Jingshan, Han Ping and his son, Li Lihua, Lu Shitou, Li Yue, and An Heping were all reading the manuscript of the agreement to trade with Hongmaoyi.

Another plenary board meeting of China United Company was held at Yin Feng’s home.

Yin Feng was in a good mood and easily settled down Chen Yourong, which made him overjoyed; everything was in his control, and this feeling made him very happy. When Mai Wan'er came to pour tea, Yin Feng touched her slippery Xiaoshou asked her softly: "Where is the madam? Why didn't you see her?"

Wan'er blushed and she whispered: "I went to the Young Master Jingshan's house, and said she was going to see Young Master Six."

Yin Feng laughed and lowered his voice, "You go down first, go to your room and wait for me..." Wan'er blushed and left the house like a runaway.

Han Ping smiled and said, "Big Head, this war can make money, this is the first time I heard it!" He fiddled with a calculation in front of him and calculated it, "We will recruit this battle in Penghu. Nearly 250 coastal ships, 25,000 taels of silver were spent; the warships lost nearly 30 ships, and countless gunpowder projectiles were consumed; the pensions for the dead fishermen, rewards for the fishermen participating in the war, the treatment costs for the wounded, etc. Wait, the total cost of 70,000 taels of silver was spent."

Han Ping paused, moved the abacus a few times on the abacus, and continued: "The pension for the death-killing personnel of our company is removed here. Hong Maoyi agreed to have a ransom of 50,000 taels of silver to compensate our company's personnel and materials. The loss cost was 30,000 taels of silver. Haha, we also had nearly 10,000 taels of silver! It was just the pension for the dead..."

"This cannot be saved!" Yin Feng said firmly: "This battle is the first battle of our Chinese company escort team. It is the most important to boost morale and unite people's hearts. What you promised cannot change."

Zeng Jingshan frowned: "Afeng, will this be too much? There may be more wars in the future. Do you have such a high bounty and pension every time?"

Yin Feng said confidently: "It doesn't matter, I already have a solution. Everyone knows that we have recently reduced the minimum share to 500 taels of silver per share; the company's articles of association stipulate that shareholders with less than 10,000 taels of silver are ordinary shareholders, so Participate in dividends, but have no right to participate in the management of the company's business; my suggestion is that the bounty can be distributed as a share form; the warrior who has made meritorious services can choose two ways to get the reward of silver, one is to get cash silver, and the other is to use the number of bounties I invest in the company and participate in the dividend distribution. Of course, this share is actually the dry share rewarded by the company."

Everyone looked at each other, their faces full of shock and surprise; Han Ping reacted the fastest: "Good idea, so that these brothers who can fight will never betray the company because they have a share of his money in the company.

In addition, the company does not need to spend silver, which saves a lot of money!”

Yin Feng smiled and said, "The pensions of the fallen brothers can also be handled in this way, but I think some regulations can be made; for example, it must be a killing that charges forward, rather than being killed while running away, such as how to calculate what the merits of killing enemies

I have asked Lin Xiao and the others to investigate and study the problem; in this case, the Military and Justice Department must be established to calculate the merits of killing enemies and supervise the troops' conduct..."

Lu Shitou suddenly said, "You make the decision on the system of the guard team. We don't understand it, as long as you decide." After handing over all the military powers of the warships, the burden on his shoulders became much lighter, and he was in a mood.

Not bad. Lu Shitou joked: "In my opinion, it is better to fight a few more battles that can make money in this way."

Yin Feng shook his head: "Actually, we still lose money if we include our death pension!"

Everyone thought to themselves: That's because you must place a pension so high!

Zeng Jingshan shook the trade agreement in his hand and said loudly: "Dear directors, get back to the point; what objections do you have to do with our trade agreement with Hongmao?"

Han Ping pointed to the previous clause of the agreement and said: "The big boss, I don't understand a little bit. I would like to ask: Why can the Dutch people be allowed to open a shopping mall in Taiwan Port and send people to stay?"

Yin Feng said: "This is a reciprocal clause. Our company can also send people to Hongmaoyi's territory to set up a shopping mall. Dutch people, Hongmaoyi, even if you don't let them come, they can always find a way to enter.

Can you build a wall around the entire Dongfan Island?”

The meeting basically passed Yin Feng's opinion and entrusted Yin Feng to sign and write with Hong Maoyi.

Accompanied by another Chinese translator Lin Yu, Wei Malang has been visiting Yin Feng's army. On that day, he was called to the office of Yin Feng, the company's headquarters.

"God General, it seems that you have been living a good life these days!" Yin Feng handed over the re-planned trading agreement to Wei Malang: "I am honored to inform you that you can use this agreement to go to the East India Company.

Now.”

Wei Malang was overjoyed and hurriedly took the agreement on the Latin text and read it. This was the manuscript of the missionary Varadas translated from Chinese to Latin overnight, and was translated into Dutch text by the Dutch Protestant pastor. This was probably Chinese and Western.

History of cultural exchanges, the first commercial agreement with multiple languages ​​in the history of Sino-foreign trade.

Wei Malang looked at it for a while, looked up and asked with confusion: "Owner of the ship, your agreement says that it can provide transportation capacity for my East India Company, and only the East India Company needs to provide 10 cargo ships a year. This is

What does it mean?"

Yin Feng smiled: "Our company can provide you with merchant ships for cargo, and transport them directly from here - the port of Taiwan Port to the port of East India Company."

"The East India Company has its own merchant ship, which is enough to transport goods."

The rule that Yin Feng set was actually to limit the number of Dutch ships heading north, and the Chinese company monopolized the trade routes from Taiwan to Batavia and other places. He saw that Wei Malang seemed to have seen a problem and hurriedly said: "I am

I am afraid that your ships will not be able to transport all our goods. You know, our company and the Spanish are enemies. We have implemented a comprehensive trade embargo on Spain's Luzon Island along the coast of Fujian, so we have to sell them to Spain in large quantities.

People's goods can be supplied to you Dutch people. Now, just the source of goods that our company has, we need about 30 large merchant ships like our Xinxing to complete. Does the East India Company have so many ships along the coast of East Asia?"

"We, we Dutch people have ships..."

Yin Feng thought to himself: Play tricks with me? I have all the details of you!

"Your ships are transported in Europe, the Caribbean, North American colonies, Africa, and spices from the Spice Islands. They are all transported to Europe and America by Dutch ships. Can you guarantee that the same number of merchant ships come to Taiwan every year? If not,

We can sell the goods to the Portuguese in Macau, and we can still make money anyway."

Wei Malang was very depressed again for a moment, and felt like he was stripped naked and saw through it. Yin Feng took the lead everywhere and knew the bottom line of the Dutch East India Company, forcing Wei Malang to surrender and accept it.

All terms.

A few days later, the Xinxing USS, loaded with silk and ceramics, carried two other small China Merchants, including Captain Ye Hua and Han Jing as the head of the financial management team, with Wei Malang, Li Jin, and Wei Malang

The 10 Dutch officers and 20 soldiers selected from the prisoners of war set out towards Batavia.

The 30 prisoners of war were released for free by China United Corporation to demonstrate the sincerity of reconciliation with the East India Company.

Yin Feng found out from Li Jin in advance that these goods can be sold to the Dutch East India Company at a purchase price of three times in China, and the Dutch can make more than double the profit by reselling them to Europe.
