In fact, Liu Ruyi really wronged our Sir Louis Peter this time!
Ever since Louis Peter was captured by those hateful "indigenous people" and taken to this magical land in the East a year and a half ago, he has written no less than a dozen letters to his uncle, the Governor of Macau.
But the tragedy is that since the beginning of last year, the indigenous people of East Timor, one of Portugal's most important colonies in Southeast Asia, have been in rebellion. The Governor of Macau also led troops to suppress it. However, more than a year later, the Portuguese authorities' high-pressure policy
, instead of quelling the rebellion of the indigenous people, it actually made the rebellion more intense!
As a result, hundreds of Portuguese soldiers died in the battle, thousands of troops were trapped on the small island of East Timor, and his uncle never received any news from him asking for help!
However, the most fortunate thing is that Liu Ruyi was also brought into the team this time, allowing Louis Peter to say goodbye to his small house of less than five square meters in Caishi Town.
Behind his predecessor, there are four sturdy men taking care of him all the time, but at least he can breathe free and fresh air!
"Hey! You white monkey! Wake up, wake up?"
Louis Pete was sleeping, but suddenly he felt someone tapping his cheek hard. Louis Pete couldn't help but opened his eyes suddenly!
"Hey! I'm not a white monkey! I'm a noble Portuguese aristocrat! If you call me like that, I'm going to go to your general and sue you for slander!" Louis Peter looked at the tall man in front of him speechlessly, and endured
He couldn't help but argue loudly in broken Chinese.
In the past two years in Caishi Town, Louis Pitte did not learn much, but he could speak Chinese fluently, and these military men who guarded him were the best people for him to practice Chinese on weekdays!
During the time he was in Caishi Town, although Liu Ruyi did not abuse him, he did not treat him as a 'guest'. He only took care of the simplest food and drink every day, and had an hour of relaxation time.
, no different from house arrest!
In Louis Pete's concept, although he was no different from a prisoner, at least he was alive, which was his greatest blessing. Gradually, he could no longer complain about Liu Ruyi!
"I know, Sir White Monkey!" The soldier chuckled, but still couldn't change his words. He leaned into Louis Peter's ear and lowered his voice: "Hey! The distinguished Sir White Monkey, I have a good news for you.
, our general is about to summon you! Get ready quickly, he will be there soon!"
Louis~Peter was stunned for a moment, and was stunned by the sudden surprise, "Oh! God! This, this is so good!"
Louis~Pete almost wanted to protect this soldier and kiss him. He originally thought that the arrogant Eastern general had completely forgotten him these days. Unexpectedly, at this moment, God favored him again!
The military man chuckled. He had been watching over him these days, and the few people who had been watching him had some feelings for each other. "White Monkey, brother, tell the truth! You are a smart man, but don't talk to our general."
You're being naughty! Who is our general? That's a god from heaven! You are definitely no match for him! If you want to survive well, you have to tell the truth. Maybe, our general will be able to do it for you when he is happy.
You point me to a clear path!"
Louis~ Peter was somewhat dissatisfied with this kind of 'blind' personality worship, but the 'prison' life in the past few years had already worn away most of his vigor. At this time, hearing the honest words of this soldier, Louis~
Peter was also a little moved, "Lao Zhang, you, you are a good person! When I return to Portugal, I will definitely repay you with gold!"
The old soldier Zhang couldn't help but smile, "Okay! Mr. White Monkey, you'd better get ready quickly, shave, and go see our generals!"
At a fort on the top of Antonwei Mountain, Liu Ruyi summoned the 'honorable' Sir Louis Peter!
Seeing the blue sea again and breathing the humid and salty seaside air again, Louis Pete felt that he was almost intoxicated!
"Your Excellency, General, I am so happy to see you again! Please accept the most sincere greetings from your friends, the brothers of the Luis family in Portugal!" Luis Peter was wearing the most common mandarin ducks among military men.
Zhan Yi, however, used the most standard Western aristocratic etiquette and bowed respectfully to Liu Ruyi.
Although it was a bit nondescript, Liu Ruyi still accepted Louis Pete's salute calmly. These foreign devils, even if they are poor and have to beg for food, they still pretend to be noble!
"Haha, dear Lord Louis, Liu is busy with military affairs these days and has not taken good care of him. Please forgive me for that!" Liu Ruyi said with a smile.
Although Louis~Peter has lost some weight, he is still in good spirits. It can be seen that his adaptability is pretty good. This makes Liu Ruyi feel relieved!
After all, how can one expect to do great things in the future if he cannot bear even this little setback?
"Your Excellency, General, I heard that your army has recently won a battle in the northeast. As your most loyal friend, please accept my most sincere congratulations on behalf of the Louis family!" Louis ~ Peter's days in China
, he also saw clearly that the Chinese people were just like this.
Liu Ruyi is also a little funny. This foreign devil has a very strong learning ability! However, this is good, it saves him a lot of trouble!
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Liu Ruyi got to the point directly, pointing to the sea not far away and saying, "Sir Louis, what do you think of this coast, which is used as a port for opening trade?"
Louis Peter was startled, and instantly understood what Liu Ruyi meant. A trace of ecstasy filled his heart instantly. He suppressed the joy in his heart, concentrated on his concentration, and analyzed Liu Ruyi: "Your distinguished general, I really
I really admire your vision! This coast has clear water and flat terrain! From here, you only need to rest for a while before you can anchor a thousand-stone ship. This, this is comparable to the Spanish pearl ~ Jakarta!"
Liu Ruyi laughed loudly and said nothing, but kept staring at Louis Peter's eyes.
How could Louis Peter not understand Liu Ruyi's intention? He hung his head humbly and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, General, I don't know what our Louis family can do for you!"
"Lord Lewis, you know that the most important thing for us Orientals to do business is credibility! Last time, I gave you enough sincerity, but now, I also need your sincerity!" Liu Ruyi looked into his eyes.
road.
Louis Peter hurriedly explained: "Honorable General, you know, I don't want to be like this, but something happened to my uncle in Southeast Asia, so our deal has not been concluded yet! However,
Don't worry, I will write him a letter again, and within three months at most, there will be news! However, I need your help, General..."
The meeting with Louis Peter was very pleasant. Liu Ruyi also knew that the Portuguese had encountered some trouble recently, so Liu Ruyi sent ten elite soldiers. This time, he must personally deliver Louis Peter's autograph letter to him.
In the hands of my uncle!
After lingering in Antonwei for a few more days, Liu Ruyi ordered Uncle Fu, together with Liu Hanyi, Zhang Laocai and other wealthy businessmen in Jinan, to reach a simple agreement and initially prepare to establish the 'Huaxia Shenzhou Ocean Trading Company!'
The company's home port is located in Andongwei, and its current main trading targets are the Japanese in the East, North Korea, the Portuguese, Spanish in Southeast Asia, and indigenous people from all over the world!
In this company, Liu Ruyi will hold 51% of the shares in the home port, army and ships, and is the largest shareholder!
Liu Hanyi, Xiao Family, and Prince De's Palace each held 10% of the shares through capital contributions, while Yan Shenggong contributed 5%, and the rest was contributed by Jinan's major wealthy businessmen.
Buy shares!
However, Liu Ruyi did not say anything to death!
The 51% of my own shares cannot be shaken at all, but the remaining 49% of the shares can be allowed between the parties based on their financial strength and contribution to the company.
, buy and sell with each other!
As a result, even those wealthy businessmen who have money but relatively few equity shares have hope, and everyone can't help but be happy!
~~~~~
After discussing for several days and improving some details, Liu Ruyi ordered Xu Xianhui to lead the elite Five Hundred Colorful Stone Army and station it at the home port of Andongwei!
And the preliminary funds promised by everyone have been received one after another!
In addition to Liu Ruyi, Huaxia Shenzhou Ocean Trading Company has raised a total of more than 2.6 million taels in silver notes! Among them, excluding the 200,000 taels for resettlement and improvement of the Anton Wei soldiers and civilians, the remaining 2.4 million taels
Two, all of which will be used to build the Andongwei home port!
According to Liu Ruyi's inspection and planning, dozens of large and small wharf sites will be built throughout Andongwei. Among them, there are about a dozen military wharves, mainly distributed in the north of Andongwei. Those with deep drafts and located on the mountains
It is in an excellent wharf surrounded by space, while other commercial and civil wharves are distributed on the south side of Antonwei, along the fifty or sixty-mile long coastline!
According to the plan, not only will a huge new city for both military and civilian use be built near Andongwei this time, but also the official roads leading to Jining and Jinan from Andongwei, the new city, and Jinan will be fully repaired to facilitate the transportation of military and civilian supplies.
use!
This will be an extremely large and systematic project, and this time, Liu Ruyi simply lets it go and leaves it entirely to the private sector!
Led by Zhang Laocai, the big boss of Jibei Commercial Bank, he is responsible for recruiting craftsmen and construction work. The wealthy businessmen who have invested in the company send their family elites to supervise the work!
This project, even from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, is definitely a super giant!
Not only the lineage of the Shandong royal family, the King of Virtue, was involved, but also the lineage of the descendants of the saints, Duke Yan Shenggong, and all the wealthy and wealthy businessmen in Shandong were basically not involved at all!
As a result, even if someone is greedy for ink, those sensible people with their eyes wide open will cut him alive without Liu Ruyi taking action!
Of course, although this is an extremely huge project, it is only spread among the top wealthy merchants in Shandong. The court and ordinary people will never get the news!
Invisibly, Liu Ruyi has pulled up a protective net for herself that can cover the sky!
