The quiet needles in the room can be heard.

Li Feihu, Li Feihuang, and even Xu Shiliu were all thinking.

The latter had a long talk with Xu Shiyang all night before leaving the Xu family.

He roughly knew Xu Shiyang's strategic goals in the next stage and what his family needed to do in Jiangnan to cooperate with the implementation of this strategy.

But Xu Shiyang's detailed plan did not involve the Li family at that time. What he said now was probably temporarily prepared by the third brother?

However, it makes sense.

In fact, these remarks were indeed what Xu Shiyang thought of temporarily. After he learned of the power of the Li Group at sea, he had a vague case.

When he was wandering between the market and various shopping malls in Shuangyu Port, he kept paying attention to collecting data and intelligence. He felt that the general direction of his words was not wrong, so he decided to actually throw out this olive branch.

As for participating in Li Feihu's trade fair this time, it is actually just an opportunity. If Li Feihu doesn't invite him, Xu Shiyang will also find an opportunity to sell his plans with a large cabinet of the Li family.

After a while, after Li Feihu and Li Feihuang generally digested Xu Shiyang's theory, they looked at each other, and Li Feihuang took the lead in speaking:

"We understand what you mean, it's really feasible, so, what do you want?"

Previously, Li Feihu's so-called support to Xu Shiyang was just to open a window for Xu Shiyang. What the Xu family wants to buy (including contraband products but not food), as long as they can get money, they can buy it from the Li family at a relatively low price (about twice the market price in Jiangnan).

The Xu family's fleet will not be attacked by the Li Pirate Group. They can approach the sea route with confidence. In addition, the water diversion tax and fee for entering the port can be calculated at half price.

In short, no matter whether Xu Jiacheng succeeds or not, the Li Pirate Group will definitely not lose.

But in this situation, the Li family has to make a new choice: to take some risk of losing money and support the Xu family to cut off the Grand Canal and at least double the profits of its Liaodong trade routes?

Or give up these profits and avoid risking losing all your money?

Go to him! What a maritime businessman if you don’t take risks!

The Li family has never only looked at whether the adventure is worth it!

"I don't know how much profit you can make from Liao goods trade, and I don't know how much income you can increase after the Grand Canal is cut off."

Xu Shiyang pretended to be thoughtful and said:

"My current idea is this: Your party will give me a loan amount based on 20% of the Liao goods trade profit in the previous year."

"I buy the supplies I need in your hands at this amount - the money does not need to be shipped to me, that's too much trouble. The shipping ship is also provided by you, and we will bear the freight and deduct it from the loan amount."

"If I can cut off the Grand Canal route within five years, then the money will be considered as your support for us free of charge. If we cannot cut off the Grand Canal within five years, then you can stop the assistance and then we will repay the loan amount for the five years with principal and interest within ten years."

The two Li family big cabinets fell into deep thought together.

They actually don’t know the specific amount of family trade in Liaoning goods, but they have a general concept - they are almost between 2 million and 3 million yuan per year.

In other words, Xu Shiyang wants a loan amount of 400,000 to 600,000 yuan per year.

Well, by the way, if the Grand Canal transportation is cut off and Liaoning's goods trade really doubles, it may reach 800 to 1.2 million guan.

"I really want to support Brother Xu."

After secretly making up his mind, Li Feihu said:

"But, I am not the only one who does Liaodong trade. The thirteen large cabinets in my family may not all like Brother Xu's proposal. Please allow me to go back and discuss it first."

“That’s natural.”

徐世杨点头同意道:

"You'd better just discuss with the big counter. The focus of this matter is not on the transaction of property between our two companies. Our strategy involves the general trend of the world, so you must not disclose it now!"

He deliberately put the matter to the point of being too big, just to shock the Li family and remind these pirates who were invisible.

"Hahaha, that's natural. Brother Xu told me about such a big thing, that's why I trust me, Li Feihu. No matter what others think, I, Li Feihu, will definitely support Brother Xu!"

Xu Shiyang bowed and replied with a smile: "Then I thank Brother Li first."

"Wait!" Li Feihuang suddenly shouted: "You said just now that there are two things that are beneficial to our Li family! One of them is to take all the Liao goods trade, what is the other point?"

Li Feihu glanced at the niece with appreciation. It was true. He was also curious about what other benefits the Xu family could provide.

"This is the strategy that involves our family in five years."

Xu Shiyang smiled and said:

"I call the restoration of Qi Province and the truncation of the Grand Canal the first five-year plan."

"If it can be successful, the benefits that my family can get are: 1. The land and population of Qi Province are in the entire territory. 2. Mr. Wen will regain his honors, and the pro-war faction will gain the upper hand in the court again. 3. Mr. Wen will operate our family to build a festival in Qi Province."

"Jingdushi?" Li Feihu muttered in a low voice.

"Yes, Jiedushi." Xu Shiyang replied: "The full authority to manage all military and civil affairs in Qisheng, and naturally, this also includes the Qisheng Navy."

"Navigation!" Li Feihuang couldn't help but shout, "If you want to talk about Navy, no one in our Li family dares to be the first! We are the strongest Navy!"

"Yes, your navy is the strongest, so you have been seeking a real court official position, right?"

"When our Xu family successfully establishes the festival, this official position can be provided by our Xu family."

Since ancient times, the highest achievement of the Chinese thieves and pirates is to kill people and arson and be recruited.

Now the Li family is only one step away from being recruited.

For this step, the Li family had to distribute a large amount of profits to the Jiangnan Jinshen Group every year, and also offered millions of money to relevant figures who could not count the number of official figures in the officialdom.

But the matter of recruiting the amnesty has not been smooth.

Because the officials and the gentry knew very well that once the Li Group was recruited successfully and had an open official position, they would not continue to give others such many benefits.

The Li family has soldiers, money and status, and can openly purchase all kinds of commercial goods needed in Jiangnan, sell them directly through sea routes, exchange them for treasures from various countries, or enjoy them by themselves or sell them for another profit.

They can recruit crew members among coastal fishermen, buy ship materials to build ships, and can set up checkpoints and collect taxes at sea to develop and strengthen themselves.

All of this does not require any further action by officials and gentry and they are exploited several times.

As long as there is an official body!

An official body recognized by the Great Zhou Dynasty!

"Actually, when Mr. Wen returns to his post, Brother Li probably won't want to hold an official in our hands."

Xu Shiyang said with a smile:

"What kind of person is Mr. Wen? Once he comes out to preside over the court, the Great Zhou will definitely be enterprising. However, the Great Zhou Mainland Division is not strong and cannot beat the Tartars who are good at riding and shooting. Then he can only start from the navy to cheer up first."
Chapter completed!
