On ships going out to sea, there is either gold and silver or valuable goods in the ship.
But no matter what the situation is, this boat is a moving treasure.
And the sailors on the ship, Guan Dai...
How could these people not be interested in the assets on the ship?
In fact, this kind of thing has happened quite frequently since Li Er overhauled the infrastructure and launched the sea trade trend. It is also one of the things that Wei Zheng and others are busy with. After all, things must be done in a standardized and planned manner.
Now that pirates have become rampant, sailors on the ship have rioted and swallowed the ship, or the captain of the ship has simply escaped. This can be regarded as some effectiveness in governance, but after all, the interests are current, and the phenomenon is not
Not cut off.
If such a thing happened to Qiwang of the Five Surnames, Pei Ji felt that it would be justified.
after all……
Although there are many maritime merchants in the world, how many can compare with the giants of the Five Surnames and Qiwang series? Pei Ji actually has this confidence, but he just can't believe that any pirates can defeat the Five Surnames and Seven
It’s unbelievable that we can destroy all of Wang’s ships at once!
But then Wang Jing shook his head, with a bitter look on his face as if he had aged another thirty years.
"That's not the case...the ones who escaped were all ship managers. This is also in line with the regulations for going to sea. There is no such thing as embezzling ship cargo."
All those who came back were tubes...
Pei Ji murmured something, and his mind suddenly got stuck.
If we talk about normal times, Pei Ji is indeed much smarter than Wang Jing and others - just like when they played chess before.
So now, like Wang Jing and others, Pei Ji's brain is blank...
"Everyone who comes back is a pipe belt..."
Merchant ship officers are equivalent to acting captains. This is a talent that is difficult to cultivate. Therefore, the regulations state that officers who are in distress at sea can escape and come back as much as possible. Of course, this does not mean that there will be no punishment.
And since there are punishments and all the supervisors are back, it is obviously impossible to have any collusion with the sailors below. In this case, the possibility of insiders causing trouble is basically gone, after all, the supervisors are back.
...then there is a ghost.
Was he really beaten to pieces by pirates?
Why are pirates so scary...
Wang Jing and others, including Pei Ji, a great thinker this time, couldn't figure out what happened after thinking about it!
This time, it's like giving Brother Wang Jing some trouble, because...
Yes, the activities of pirates will cause the price of goods to increase, and price increase means profit, and it is huge profit.
As long as the merchant ships of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes are tougher and more capable of fighting than ordinary merchant ships, the economy can last forever.
However, there is still an exception.
That is, the rank of the pirates directly breaks through the sky, and their combat power is off the charts.
Ordinary merchants can't mix in, and the fleet with the five surnames and Qi Wang can't mix in either!
Once out to sea, the group will be destroyed.
In this case, no goods from overseas can be brought in, and the oceans in the East China Sea and South China Sea will directly become a land of death.
In such a situation, it is true that although the combat effectiveness of the fleet of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs is still higher than that of ordinary merchants, this advantage cannot be realized directly.
The advantages cannot be realized, and the financial resources are naturally cut off. Not only are huge profits out of the question, but they also face a bloody outcome of losing all their money!
What is happening now is this extreme situation that is theoretically impossible and is too outrageous.
It's normal for things at sea to be outrageous.
But now a terrifying possibility has been exposed, that is, there are really pirates who can destroy the fleet of Five Surnames and Seven Hopes!
Wang Jing and others realized this unanimously!
I sadly realized it, but there was nothing I could do about it.
The pirate ships are full of people who draw bows and draw swords, almost fully armed. After all, most of the cargo on the trading ships is cargo, and there are not so many bows and arrows.
Because it was a naval battle, rockets were used much more frequently than conflicts on land - of course, the arrowheads were coated with tung oil, not the space rockets of later generations.
But in short, arrows and tung oil both take up weight.
Anyway, Wang Jing and others were shocked and quickly thought of this.
Anyway, the problem now is in front of us. The pirates directly attack the merchant ship. What should we do?
That's the key!
Just thinking about it over and over again, Wang Jing and the others still have no clue!
But at this moment, Pei Ji exerted his strength again.
After all... he is still the think tank of Wu Xing Qi Wang!
As a famous person in the world, how could Pei Ji not have some strategy in his heart?
Wang Jing and the others frowned for a while, but Pei Ji suddenly spoke,
"Brothers, according to Pei, this matter may not be that serious!"
…
A familiar sentence...
It came from Pei Ji's mouth.
The moment he said it, Wang Jing and others were all downcast, but after hearing it, they immediately raised their heads and looked at Pei Ji.
Several glances coincidentally, all focused at this moment!
The reason is very simple, because when the pirates started to become rampant, no one could think of a way, nor did they have any ideas or angles. At that time, it was Pei Ji who spoke out that saved the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes from going through the disaster.
But this time, Pei Ji said something similar to before!
How can this make Wang Jing and the others not excited? Did you see that expert teaching is coming?
Not only did everyone's expressions suddenly change, but their eyes also lit up.
And then, Pei Ji really analyzed it.
"This matter is actually not complicated... Everyone, in Pei's opinion, maybe we have just underestimated the heroes of the world and underestimated the size of the mountains and seas!"
"oh?"
"Master Pei, what's the explanation?"
"Please ask Master Pei to clarify my doubts!"
When everyone saw Pei Ji's tone, it was obvious that he had something to say, and they all started licking him instantly.
Pei Ji felt proud for a while, but then he also started talking.
"Well...it's actually not difficult to understand. Not many people knew about the benefits of sea trade in the past, and even we thought it was far away. Now that we are involved in it, and there are hundreds of millions of people in the world, how can we not have other talents come forward?
Come and share the soup?”
"If someone participates in maritime trade, it is natural that there will be less bandits. This is normal."
Pei Ji's words sounded a bit drooling. After all, it was common sense. However, when he said this, Wang Jing and others were stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought!
Thinking about it this way...
Wang Jing felt that this was really the case...
"The world is so big, the world is so big!"
Wang Jing thought about Pei Ji's words for two minutes before he sighed.
And Wang Jing's sigh was not because of anything else, but because of what Pei Ji said. He had completely agreed with it, and felt strangely that he hadn't thought of it?
Powerful talents can appear anywhere. If they can be under their own command, why can't they be under the command of pirates...
So robbing merchant ships is more powerful, so it's only natural.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that what happened today would have happened a long time ago, and it is not surprising at all...
