After Dong Tianbao led the soldiers to take away the pirates, Xue Xian frowned and asked: "Mr. Yang, do you really want to take in these pirates? Those pirates are murderous, so if such a group of people stays here, I'm afraid
There will be trouble."
Yang Xuan waved his hand and said: "I am not taking them in, my intention is to cooperate with them."
"Cooperation?" Xue Xian was confused.
Yang Xuan smiled and said directly without explaining: "These pirates will be of great use in the future."
At this time, the government office of Qiongzhou Prefecture has been capped and is undergoing interior decoration. However, the attached prison does not need decoration. Those Japanese pirates have also been imprisoned in the prison, and naturally these pirates are also imprisoned in the prison.
As for the red turban, he was left alone and brought to the execution room. Yang Xuan came to the execution room and was ready to formally talk to him.
"May I have your name?"
"Wang Hai."
"Place of origin?"
"People from Guxi Village, Funing County, Minzhou."
"What did you do before?"
"My family used to be a shipbuilder, but later because of the maritime ban, our home was confiscated..."
Before Wang Hai finished speaking, Yang Xuan stood up suddenly: "Your family is a shipbuilder? How big a ship can you build?"
Wang Hai was stunned: "I can build a boat with 400 materials, and a clipper with 100 or 200 materials."
Yang Xuan's face showed joy. He couldn't even hide his excitement, but he still heard the problem in Wang Hai's words.
"You said your family can build boats, so what kind of boats can you build now?"
Wang Hai looked at his toes with shame: "I don't know anything."
"you……"
"But my second uncle knows how to do it. My second uncle and the uncles in my shipyard have all spent their whole lives building ships."
"Where are they?"
Wang Hai pursed his lips: "Isn't that why you locked him up?"
Yang Xuan suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued to ask: "Because your home was confiscated, your family became pirates?"
"Then what else can I do? I haven't wanted to learn shipbuilding since I was a child. I just like to go to sea, and I also learned martial arts, so I took them into the sea and became a bandit."
Yang Xuan pondered for a while and then said: "In that case, I would like to negotiate a deal with you."
"Business?" Wang Hai looked confused: "With us like this, what else can we do?"
"Building ships."
"Building ships? That means confiscating your family and being exiled."
"Haven't your homes been confiscated and exiled now?" Yang Xuan said, "You build a ship for me, and I will be responsible for your life and safety."
Wang Hai looked at Yang Xuan with suspicious eyes: "Pull him down. You want to trick us into building a ship again. Do you still want to kill us all?"
"What do you mean by tricking you into building a ship?" Yang Xuan was stunned: "You build a ship and I pay for it. Is there any problem?"
"Humph, the imperial court issued a sea ban, and you still let us build ships. Isn't it just to punish us?"
Wang Hai became excited as he spoke: "Do you have to force us to death?"
Yang Xuan was stunned, but he understood the whole story from Wang Hai's words.
"Don't be impatient. I'm afraid there may be some misunderstanding here."
Faced with this situation, Yang Xuan was a little helpless. There was no way to explain this. He couldn't say that he was not on the same side as the imperial court.
It seems that this matter needs to be done from a different angle.
"In this case, I will open the shipyard, and you will be the workers I recruit. Let's do it this way as the head office, and I will pay you for your work. How about that?"
"You run a shipyard?" Wang Hai asked doubtfully: "Aren't you their master? How dare you openly violate the court's laws?"
"You don't have to worry about it." Yang Xuan said, "You just need to work and get paid."
"real?"
Wang Hai's face was full of doubts.
Yang Xuan was already impatient and kicked him: "Your lives are all in my hands now. Even if I lie to you, you have to do it whether you want to or not."
Wang Hai was kicked over, but with a smile on his face: "Fuck it, we did it."
Yes, this is still a bitch.
Yang Xuan asked again: "Are all of your people good at building ships?"
Wang Hai shook his head: "That's not true. Some of them were originally fishermen, but they couldn't survive anymore and went to sea with me to become pirates."
Yang Xuan touched his chin: "Very good. Except for those who can build ships, everyone else will continue to be pirates."
Wang Hai's eyes widened: "Master, didn't you just agree that you would support us?"
"Bah, bah, bah, you are such a good girl." Yang Xuan's face changed: "I said hiring you to build a ship for me, but what do I mean by raising you, you get paid for working, do you understand?"
Wang Hai was confused, but he nodded quickly: "But why are we still allowed to be pirates? We are different from those Japanese pirates. We are all forced."
"Stop talking nonsense. Just do whatever I ask you to do. You don't know how to build a ship. You know how to make the best use of everything?"
"But, how can you force someone to become a thief?"
"I asked you to be a pirate, but I didn't ask you to actually rob. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Be a pirate but not rob?" Wang Hai blinked: "Oh... I understand, you want me to smuggle for you?"
Yang Xuan snapped his fingers: "Yes, that's what it means."
"This is a good job. I'm willing to do this." Wang Hai laughed.
Yang Xuan thought for a while and then said: "But before that, there is something else I need you to do."
"What's up?"
"Don't you speak Japanese? Can you be my translator?"
After a while, the two Japanese pirates were brought to the execution room.
Even though these Japanese pirates had been captured for so long, Xue found that they could not tell who was the leader among them, so Yang Xuan told him to just bring the tallest one.
Now these two are the tallest among the five. Yang Xuan estimates that they are at most 1.4 meters tall, and they can't even reach his chin.
"Ask them where they came from, why they came, and what happened in the Japanese country?"
Then Wang Hai started to ask.
These two Japanese pirates, fed on one meal for three days, could hardly even stand and could only answer questions feebly.
After some questioning, I found out that these two guys were ronin from our country. Because the daimyo they followed were defeated in the war, they had no choice but to go into exile at sea. They gathered some local refugees and robbed and killed people at sea.
Yang Xuan nodded, it was almost as he guessed.
A group of extremely vicious Japanese came to Dasheng to burn, kill, and loot. Yang Xuan's first thought was to kill them all.
But after thinking about it, I felt that we should make the best use of everything. These Japanese pirates can be used to do hard work, which even saves wages.
But another question came to his mind: "Wang Hai, can you take a few Japanese to go to sea and become pirates together?"
Wang Hai shook his head directly: "These guys are ruthless, ruthless to others and ruthless to themselves, just like wild beasts. I don't want to take them with me."
"You're not doing this right. You have to realize that you are going to be a pirate. If you bring a few Japanese with you, you can pin the charge on the Japanese. Don't you think that's right?"
Wang Hai immediately laughed: "Master, you are really a loser."
Yang Xuan kicked him in the butt: "What are you talking about? This is called waste utilization."
