Chapter 45 Is it really a waste of effort?
Everyone was shocked. Cai Yan said the words of splitting up the family. The group of managers in front of him did not pay too much attention to it. The division or not can be decided by a child. Even Su Mei and Su family could not decide. However, Yao Zhongjiao was different, so a group of elderly people were not afraid.
Su Shisan suddenly stood up, but Yao Zhongjiao looked cold-faced...
"Thirteen, you have been on the island for too long. It's time to live your life and get a grandson under your knees."
"Brother Seven, you can't decide alone!"
...
"snort!"
Yao Zhongjiao looked at all the old people in the hall and said coldly: "The young master reconciled with the barbarians in the mountains, which can be considered as solving your worries. In the future, this place will be considered a people under the name of the court. There is no need for the Hailong Gang to continue to exist, and there is no need for him to continue to fight. After returning to Hangzhou, Yao will naturally propose to the lady for disbandment."
"Brother Seven, you can't do this. The Hailong Gang was exchanged for all our brothers with their lives!"
Su Shisan was anxious, and a group of old people stood up, but Yao Zhongjiao still had a cold face.
"What can we do if the Central Plains dynasty can change the world? In order to support us, Brother Hailong had to lead his brothers to fight. In the future, he became a commoner in the court. There was no need to continue fighting and fighting. The fields here were enough to support the village, and the Hailong Gang himself had no need to continue to exist. The provincial court was dissatisfied with the village, which affected the future of your official career!"
Ma Sihai was very anxious and was about to speak up as soon as he stepped forward...
"Brother Seven..."
"No need to say anything about the four seas, the young master also said that the eldest brother of the Sea Dragon King built the Sea Dragon Gang because everyone could live together! After reconciling with those barbarians, the court would have to send officials to come, and it would be better for anyone to use the name of the Sea Dragon Gang."
"Before we fought with the barbarians in the mountains, and Taishi Cai secretly recognized our existence. The court officials had no way to impeach this matter, but once the barbarians in the mountains were willing to surrender to the court, if we still used the name of the Hailong Gang, this would give others the excuse to impeach the official family. Taishi Cai would never give us support, and it might not even be necessary to send troops to encircle and suppress them."
"So, no matter whether you are willing to fight with those barbarians or whether you are willing to fight for the Raushzi prefect, the Hailong Gang has no need to continue to exist."
Yao Zhongjiao looked at the hesitant old brothers and said coldly: "The Hailong Gang has no need to continue to exist, and there is no need to be a pirate here. Of course, whether you want to do so or not is up to you. The Hairui Business Company will not interfere with the village's decision in this matter. However, if you still retain the Hailong Gang, the Hairui Business Company will have no relationship with the Hailong Gang since then. The reason... you should be clear."
"If you decide to let go, the young master means that it is best to change a village related to the Cai family here to add some reputation to the Grand Master. In the future, no matter whether the Grand Master Cai will really talk to us again, and if it has something to do with the Grand Master, the officials who come here will also be cautious and will not use the name of the government to bully the village too much."
"Young Master has temporarily solved the worries here. How to choose and where will the village go in the future? You have decided that the young master and Hairui Business will not interfere."
After saying that, Yao Zhongjiao pushed Su Shisan away in front of him and looked coldly at the group of life and death brothers blocking him. The others had no choice but to give in and let him strode out of the hall.
It is true that Hairui Business is a business under the name of Hailong Gang. The two are already one, but they are slightly different. Hairui Business has already landed and has become a shipping business, which requires the support of the Cai family and the Song Guo production and sales market. It is unlikely to continue to be tied to the old village life and death. Liuqiu Island Laozhai is far away from the mainland, and he often fights with the ancient Yue barbarians in the mountains, and gradually becomes another group. He not only needs the money and grain support of Hairui Business, but also has many dissatisfactions. He is dissatisfied with the Hairui Business reducing the staff of the old village, dissatisfied with the lack of money and grain support of Hairui Business, dissatisfied with...
The old village is increasingly unable to do anything and dissatisfied with the harassment of the barbarian villages in the mountains. The Hairui Business Company is also dissatisfied. Every time the money you earn is earned, it will fill the bottomless black hole on the island.
Both sides were one. When both sides went in their own directions, there were more and more conflicts hidden, but both sides needed the support of the Cai family, and both needed the Sumei and Su family to be centrally supported, and the conflict was forced to be suppressed. However, when Cai Yan first landed on the island, and after landing on the island in the name of the young master of the Hailong Gang, when he realized the life and death crisis faced by the old village, he wanted to reconcile with the Gu Yue people and wanted to take off the invisible ropes on the old village, the conflict between the old village and the Hairui merchant was also placed in front of everyone.
Cai Yan took it for granted and overestimated the Laozhai's sense of identity with the Aunt Su family and him. When he went to the valley to meet with the great wizard of the Guyue clan, he felt this. However, no matter what, these people were all the hard work of their grandfather and did not want the island to be cut off from the northern continent. Even though they were really bad guys, they hoped that the Laozhai could continue to exist, rather than being killed by the Guyue people and the imperial court in the mountains.
Cai Yan became an idle self-prisoner. Even after a few days, Lu Taohong ran over with swollen eyes, he did not let her get close to him. This also made the woman named "Lu Nong" even more disdainful. He didn't want to pay attention to this woman, just hid in a tent and read and read...
"Young Master."
A corner of the tent was lifted, revealing a girl with double rings of hair. As if she knew that one step into the tent would provoke him furiously. Lu Tao did not dare to step into the tent, but just held the lunch box in her hand and looked at him with her head stretched out.
"Young Master, Grandpa Yao is here."
"Yeah, I got it."
Cai Yan stood up with one hand and waved her with his little hand, signaling her to exit the tent.
"Young Master, it's been nine days."
"Nine days...are you still one day short? You can't wait for one day?"
"Young Master... It's been nine days..."
Cai Yan was speechless for a while. After thinking about it, he felt that it should be fine. He nodded slightly. Seeing this, Lu Tao was overjoyed and hurriedly ran to the front with the food box.
"Young Master, I learned it with Sister Lunong yesterday, it's so delicious!"
The green peach offered treasures as if he had brought a plate of small fish to him, looking a little dark, as if it was baked with stone slabs.
Cai Yan pinched a small fish and stuffed it into his mouth, but said, "That woman is a little witch, and she has a bad temperament. If you want to harm you, it's just a matter of a blink of an eye. Don't get old when you have nothing to do."
Green peach is very nervous, and only feels when dealing with people. If you don’t feel very fierce, all kinds of people want to get close to each other. He is afraid of listening to the word “witch”, but seeing people becomes another thing.
If Lunong is not too ugly, she is black. If she weren't wearing a woman's green clothes, she would look like a boy.
Cai Yan said, Lu Tao nodded as if she didn't care much. Knowing her temperament, she wanted to say a few more words. The tent was lifted up. When she saw that it was Yao Zhongjiao, she also showed a faint smile on her face.
"Old Yao, everyone has been returned safely, right?"
Yao Zhongjiao was not polite, walked to him and sat down, and smiled and said, "Don't worry, Young Master, you have sent them all back. Seeing that they are still hostile, they are not as hostile as before, and they are not taking action before they meet."
Cai Yan smiled and nodded, chewed the salted fish in his mouth twice, and said, "The two sides have been fighting for so long. It is a good phenomenon to meet and not take action. Some things can only be done slowly, and they cannot be anxious."
Yao Zhongjiao was worried again and said, "Have you ever thought about it? Maybe this is just a temporary one, maybe it is just a small friction, maybe the two sides will fight again tomorrow. Wouldn't the young master's hard work be wasted?"
After a few breaths of silence, Cai Yan nodded and said, "Old Yao said it well. Both sides fought for 10 or 20 years and died. Many people were disabled. They said that they let go of their resentment. But this is not realistic. Both sides will still fight again because of some big and small matters. But this is not important. What is important is that reconciliation will give the village time and opportunity, and this is the most critical."
Looking at Cai Yan who was holding the salted fish in front of him and stuffing it into his mouth, Yao Zhongjiao did not dare to look down on the child in front of him. He lowered his head and thought about it carefully for a moment, and said hesitantly.
"What the young master means... to lead the court to the island?"
Cai Yan swallowed the salted fish and said with a smile: "What Mr. Yao said is that the ancient Yue barbarians in the mountains are local people, and they often hide in the mountains and forests. They can't defeat them just by the old village. But if the court standing on the shore goes into the water and participates in it, the situation will be different."
"As long as the two families reconcile and the court agrees to the title of local officials of the woman outside, the court will inevitably send officials to come. If there is another conflict, if we take action, the barbarians in the mountains will become rebels, and the imperial army will suppress the rebellion. Even if the court still loses and retreats in the end, we will not suffer any loss. First, we are no longer a pirate, and we will become the generals of the court openly. Second, the imperial army retreats, and we will stay here to resist, which is exactly the same as the current situation, and it is still a passive side. It seems that it is no different from the present, but in fact there is a huge difference. At least one thing is certain that Hairui Business can escape, all supplies will be paid by the court, and the lost soldiers can also be recruited and replenished by the court. How much money will this save us, Mr. Yao should know better than Jae."
Yao Zhongjiao felt a stir in his heart, and then he understood the real purpose of the child in front of him.
"We are pirates, the court is officers and soldiers. If there is no such relationship, if we are just honest people in the Song Dynasty, even if the court is on the shore watching us fight with the ancient Yue barbarians in the mountains, even if the court wants the fisherman to benefit, it will not take action against us, because once the Song Dynasty gets this place, the people of the Song Dynasty will need to come to reclaim land and farm. Only in this way can the Song Dynasty have tax revenue."
"This is not the case. The safest way is to cut down all of us. One is to appease the ancient Yue barbarians in the mountains, and the other is to make room for exile to sinners or disasters to reduce the trouble caused by us."
"So, we are the most dangerous ones, not the barbarians in the mountains. Even if they lose, the Song Dynasty would not do anything to them. They would never cut off their heads."
"In this way... we need to pull the court into the water. We reconcile with the barbarians. They bowed to the court. Once the prefectures and counties are set up here, the court will inevitably send officials, and they will not know that they will go into the water. Because the two families reconcile, they do not need to use our lives to appease the barbarians. The court has no reason to raise their swords to us, and they have turned from pirates to good people and heroes!"
"But if the barbarians are in chaos in the future... the court wants to continue standing on the shore and watch haha..."
"hehe……
