Chapter 934: Change
Qi Haoran only ordered the school captain to watch the three children closely, no matter what Xiao An told him to not move, but it was not difficult for Hutou and Little Lion.
The two threatened him that if he did not go out, the two of them would yell and let the people outside know that there were three children in the cabin.
The captain wanted to die, but he couldn't do anything about the three young masters, because the three stood back to back, and he had no confidence in covering their mouths or knocking them unconscious before they made a sound.
Don't try to reason with children of a few years old, this is the deep experience of the captain in this short quarter of an hour.
So he could only go out, and he had to let the soldiers line up in a row according to Xiao An's instructions, with the blades standing in front of him.
As for him, he can’t go out without saying a word, so Xiao An specially arranged a few lines for him.
At this time, seeing that Pedro had really retreated, the Colonel didn't know what others thought, but he was like the rest of his life. Fan Shizi's strategy worked. He should be less guilty of not listening to the general, right?
Where can Qi Haoran still think of the school captain, he is now focused on Xiao An, he hugged Xiao An and sighed, "Why are you your father's son? You should be my son, what a handsome talent? "
The tiger head and the little lion looked at their father eagerly, "What about us?"
Qi Haoran looked a little disgusted, and said, "You are the sons of your master. Although you are a little stupid, luckily your body is great, and your martial arts talent is decent..."
"Second uncle said that we are stupid because of genetics," Hutou shouted, "It's not our fault for this."
The little lion nodded fiercely, and said: "You see that brother Xiao An is very smart, this is because the second uncle is smart."
Not only the tiger's head, but also the little bear looked at Qi Haoran resentfully, Qi Haoran jumped, "How dare you say that you are stupid? Who are you born?"
"We were born by a mother..." The three children said in unison.
Xiao An leaned against Qi Haoran's arms and giggled. Zhou De and the others on the side were dumbfounded. Several young sons of the palace would talk to the prince like this, which is impossible in ordinary father and son homes.
Zhou De and others were invited back to the cabin in a daze, and saw Andre, who was still limited in freedom.
Andre was anxious. Seeing Zhou De, the two of them were old acquaintances, and they were busy inquiring about the situation outside.
Zhou De didn't feel very good about the mercenary Andre, so he simply told the other party that both Fujita and Pedro had retired.
Andrei breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that the two sides would fight again, as if every time he met the prince of Daqi, his luck was not very good.
Outside, Qi Haoran saw another warship coming quickly, and he knew it was sent by Fan Zijin.
He held Xiao An in his arms, and asked them to semaphore them to return to Hong Kong immediately.
Both warships ran out, what if they were exploited by pirates?
Zhou Zhou also saw the prince's warship, and he was relieved to see that the Zhou family's merchant ship happened to follow the warship. If something happened to Duke An's cargo, I'm afraid they and the pirates in this area would all be in trouble. No peace.
As Qi Haoran thought, Zhou Zhou was indeed called by Fan Zijin.
He went to the port early in the morning to wait for the Zhou family's ship. This was his first sea trade. He naturally paid attention to it, but all the four ships that set out together came back, only the Zhou family's ship was missing, and the other four ships The people who were scrambling and crawling ran up to him, knelt down on the ground and told the pirates chasing the Zhou family boat, and Zhou De asked them to come back and report to save them first.
Fan Zijin understood Zhou De's concerns as soon as he heard it. He didn't blame the merchants. After he helped him up, he went to Zhou Zhou and asked him to lead his troops to rescue him.
When fishermen encounter pirates at sea or their merchant ships are robbed, they report to the navy, and the navy will send troops.
In the past, the sailors didn’t have a boat, and they had the will and power. Now that they have a boat, and Qi Haoran is pressing on their heads, the sailors dare not neglect, but now it’s Fan Zijin’s business, and Zhou Zhou doesn’t even dare to take it lightly.
Immediately order troops and start.
A few sea merchants who had only just arrived on the ground were envious of the Zhou family, "They went to Duke Ang and Prince Rong, they were lucky, they sent troops when they said they would. Are you still worried about being rich or not?"
The foreman who was discussing wages with them heard the words, and hurriedly said with a smile: "A few masters just came back from outside, right? You don't know, after the beginning of spring, the king has rectified the navy, and now it's not the ship of the master of the country. When they were robbed, it was the fishermen who encountered pirates at sea. As long as they could report a letter, the navy would also rescue them. Now the prince has also made restrictions. Whenever the news is received, there are soldiers in the camp, but no troops have been dispatched for a quarter of an hour. All of them will be punished, ranging from salary deductions and demotions, to military law in the worst cases.”
Several people's eyes lit up, "Then if our maritime merchants encounter pirates at sea, will the navy also send troops?"
"It's natural, as long as the navy can receive the news, but if it's a war ship, you have to give some benefits."
Several merchants went to sea just after the New Year. At that time, Qi Haoran hadn't formulated these conditions, so they didn't know anything about it.
Although they knew they could find out when they got home, they were impatient at this time, and they took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into the foreman's hand, asking, "What benefits are you going to give, and to whom?"
The foreman had a smile on his face, took the money, looked around, and said in a low voice, "This matter is no longer a secret in Guangzhou City, I heard that there is a price list in the Navy Yamen, which was made by Fan Zhifu for the prince. , in order to accumulate money and build another sea ship, a sea ship that can put two cannons, let alone pirates in this sea area, even if you go to Fuzhou Port."
Several businessmen were anxious and asked, "What price list?"
"If you are only blocked by pirates, the navy will help you to scare the pirates away or repel them, as long as you give some filial piety, the price of being chased by pirates is also the same price, and if you have been robbed by pirates, they will be responsible for helping you If you **** the goods back again, 30% of the **** will be given to them. If you can't **** it back, you don't have to show your respect." The foreman lowered his voice and smiled when he saw some surprise in the eyes of several people, "Don't be afraid of the sailors who are on duty. Deliberately allowing pirates to loot and then take it back, our prince is very aggressive. If there is such a thing, as long as you report it, the person in the lead will be punished for collaborating with the enemy and colluding with pirates, and the soldiers on the same ship must Being punished is very severe, and no one has dared to cross the line in the past six months."
Surprises flashed in the eyes of several businessmen. If so, the safety of their lives and property would be greatly guaranteed.
30% of the goods are too much, and they are also in pain, but compared to the loss of everything when they are looted by pirates, 30% of the goods are not much.
Several businessmen took a deep breath, looked at each other, and felt that this Prince Rong was really their lucky star. Of course, Fan Zhifu, who proposed this method, was a bit treacherous.
