Chapter 138 Transportation Costs

After Zhang Rong left, Zhao Fuxiang first asked Liao Dagui to go to the woodshed behind to release all the servants in the house, and then looked at Huang San who was tied up like a rice dumpling and sneered.

In the battle just now, two of these pirates died and one was seriously injured. The blood on the ground and Zhao Fuxiang's sneer made Huang San feel scared. Although he had countless lives in his hands, he was still a little scared when it was his turn.

.

Huang San calmed down, pretended not to be afraid of death, and shouted: "Zhao Fuxiang, since I have fallen into your hands, you must kill me or cut him into pieces!"

After Huang San finished speaking, he closed his eyes and waited for Zhao Fuxiang to take action. However, Zhao Fuxiang did not kill Huang San directly. Instead, he said to Liao Dagui beside him: "Dagui, take out the dead body in the courtyard and bury it. The injured one

Bandage him and take Huang San to the guest room, I have something to ask him!"

After Zhao Fuxiang finished speaking, he was afraid that he would be his opponent if Huang San broke free from the rope, so he continued: "By the way, you can bring two people to follow you after this is done!"

Liao Dagui agreed and arranged for his men to deal with the corpses in the courtyard, and then took Huang San into the guest room next to him.

Zhao Fuxiang was sitting in the room thinking about something when he saw Huang San coming in and asked: "Huang San, do you have a name?"

Huang San and his uncle were originally fishermen in Xinhui, Guangdong. Later, due to the oppression of the government, they had no way of living, so they took several brothers from the clan to join Liu Xianglao. Because of their bravery in battle, they were called Huang Manzi. There is no official name.

.

"I'm illiterate, so I'll call me Huang San! You can also call me Huang Manzi, but when I get a good child in my next life, I'll also give him a majestic name!"

"Huang San, do you know why I want to spare your life?"

Huang San heard Zhao Fuxiang ask himself why the fat man in front of him didn't kill him, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Zhao Fuxiang said. Although he didn't know why Zhao Fuxiang didn't kill him, it would be better if he didn't have to die.

of.

Zhao Fuxiang continued: "Of course I spared your life not because you are handsome or because I am compassionate, but because what you just said really moved my heart!"

Now it's Huang San's turn to be confused. What did he say just now? Huang San just said four conditions, and he couldn't accept them easily. Could it be that the fat man just now was frozen stupid and wanted to agree to his request?

Seeing Huang San's confused look, Zhao Fuxiang smiled and said: "Huang San, just now you said you wanted to cooperate with me to produce white sugar. After thinking about it, I felt it was somewhat attractive, so I decided to join forces with you. I will be responsible for the production. You guys

Are you responsible for the transportation and profit? Master, I will take 90% and give you 10%!"

This is the key for Zhao Fuxiang to save Huang Sanyi's life. Now Zhao Fuxiang's industry is slowly forming a scale, and a lot of materials are shipped in and out every day. Li Zhengdao was originally responsible for these, but the Li family is just a business, and there are no

Even if the Li family had its own fleet, it was impossible for Li Zhengdao, a bastard, to use all of them, so in the past, Zhao Fuxiang's goods were entrusted to a third party for transportation.

Third-party transportation has many benefits, such as saving human resources, etc., but the cost of using a third party goes up. Zhao Fuxiang calculated that the monthly transportation fee paid to the fleet is thousands of taels of silver, which is still needed on the island.

Although there are not many supplies, when the steel plant is completed in half a year, the required transportation capacity will increase tenfold, and Zhao Fuxiang will not be able to bear it anymore.

Precisely because of this practical difficulty, Zhao Fuxiang has long wanted to form his own

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Fleet, but even if Zhao Fuxiang has no shortage of people, the shipping across the Nandu River is also under his control. But sea transportation is different from inland water transportation, and the required sailors and ships cannot be provided by inland water transportation.

Just when Zhao Fuxiang was thinking about how to solve this problem, these pirates came to his door. This gave Zhao Fuxiang a reminder, aren't pirates all qualified sailors? Just look at the ragged clothes Huang San and his gang are wearing, and you can tell how they live their lives.

It's not easy, otherwise I can't risk going ashore for a mere few thousand taels of silver.

Now that Huang San is in his hands, he can take this opportunity to recruit these pirates and at the same time train his own sailors. You must know that the next four hundred years will be the age of the sea, and a powerful navy will need a large number of qualified sailors.

Huang San was stunned after hearing what Zhao Fuxiang said. Why was what he said different from what he just said? Huang San asked: "Executive member Zhao, what we want is the secret method of frosting sugar, not to be your transporter!"

Zhao Fuxiang smiled slightly and asked: "Huang San, to tell you the truth, even if I gave you the secret recipe, you wouldn't be able to produce it!"

Huang San was a little unhappy at this time and said: "Zhao Yuanwai is talking big! Even if we don't study, we have seen how Lianzhou Prefecture produces brown sugar. Isn't it just about squeezing the sugar cane juice and then boiling it? What's the difficulty?

?”

The method of refining white sugar in the Ming Dynasty was indeed not difficult, otherwise the sugar labs in Leizhou Prefecture would not have strictly blocked the technology. However, if you want to produce white sugar without a trace of variegation, this process cannot be produced by the handicraft industry.

Zhao Fuxiang smiled and said: "Huang San, if you are not the master, I look down on you. If you arrest the master, I will be of no use. Even if you arrest all the factory workers on the island, you will not be able to produce qualified white sugar in another place!"

Huang San didn't believe what Zhao Fuxiang said at all, and sneered: "Exceptor Zhao, if you don't want to cooperate with us, just say, what's the use of these excuses?"

Seeing that he was not convinced by these pirates, Zhao Fuxiang stopped explaining and said: "Huang San, do you think this will work? I will take you to the sugar factory tomorrow to have a look. If the truth is the same as what I said, you can

You have to accept my conditions! If I lie to you, you can move all the factories and workers away!"

Huang Sanyi heard that it was reasonable and quickly asked: "Executive member Zhao, do you mean what you said?"

Zhao Fuxiang laughed: "I, Zhao Fuxiang, have ruled the world for decades, how can I deceive you and a bunch of pirates?"

If Zhao Fuxiang is given ten years to develop, he does have the capital, so to speak, but now Zhao Fuxiang is just a landowner on Haidian Island, and cannot even break out of Hainan Island. Saying this is really laughable.

!But fortunately, Huang San and Liao Dagui are not scholars, so they were a little awe-struck when they heard Zhao Fuxiang bragging.

Huang San nodded and said: "Okay, if things are as you said, I promise you on behalf of my second uncle that I will be responsible for transporting frosted sugar to you in the future, and we will only have 10% of the profit!"

Zhao Fuxiang smiled and nodded, asking Liao Dagui to loosen the rope for him. Liao Dagui quickly asked in a low voice: "Master, these pirates have no credibility. What if we let them go and injure people?"

Zhao Fuxiang asked with a smile: "Huang San, if I let you go now, can you hurt me?"

Huang San just heard what Liao Dagui said. He glared at Liao Dagui and said, "Executive member Zhao, we pirates are the most loyal. If we lose our trust at sea, how can we sail a boat?"

Zhao Fuxiang thought the same thing. There was no GPS navigation in the Ming Dynasty, so they had to rely on the captain on the vast sea.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Based on experience, if you don’t completely trust the captain, don’t leave the ship.

Zhao Fuxiang nodded and signaled Liao Dagui to untie Huang San. Liao Dagui had no choice but to step forward and untie the rope. However, Liao Dagui still said: "Master, please allow Dagui to stay with this guy tonight to prevent this guy from having any evil thoughts."

!”

Now that Huang San has been untied, Zhao Fuxiang didn't care about the rest. He smiled and said: "Okay, I will ask the servant to bring you some food. You two can rest in this room!"

Zhao Fuxiang went out. It was almost late at night. This day had been very tiring for Zhao Fuxiang, so Zhao Fuxiang hurried back to the house and prepared to rest with his mother and daughter in his arms. Who knew that the mother and daughter saw that Zhao Fuxiang had completely lost yesterday's mood?

Respect and fear, probably because I saw Zhao Fuxiang's virtue just now, so the fear in my heart disappeared.

Zhao Fuxiang was full of resentment after being caught and humiliated by Huang San. Just now he was preparing to recruit Huang San, so he suppressed his anger and talked nicely to him. Now he has returned to his own house and is in disgrace. You, mother and daughter, Xue

It's just Zhao Fuxiang's plaything, but it doesn't have the capital to make Zhao Fuxiang jealous. Zhao Fuxiang's temper naturally refused to allow any explanation, tied up Mr. Xue and whipped him a few times, and then flattered Zhang Yuee in front of Mr. Xue.

After they finished, Zhang Yuee hugged Xue and cried softly. Zhao Fuxiang became upset when he saw them crying and cursed: "Don't cry, mother, I will sell you to Nanyang as prostitutes if you are crying!"

Zhang Yue'e and her daughter were so frightened by Zhao Fuxiang that they did not dare to cry. After Zhao Fuxiang had just vented his emotions both psychologically and physically, he fell asleep contentedly.

The next morning, Zhao Fuxiang felt refreshed. Xue quickly went into the room to help Zhao Fuxiang get dressed. Seeing Xue's obedient look, Zhao Fuxiang smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's great. You can do your own thing with peace of mind."

, Only in this way can you save the lives of your daughter and son!"

Mrs. Xue did not dare to offend Zhao Fuxiang and quickly nodded in agreement. After Zhao Fuxiang finished cleaning up and had breakfast, he went to the front yard to see Huang San.

Zhao Fuxiang arrived at the guest room in the front yard and found Liao Dagui sitting motionless in the room looking at Huang San on the bed. Seeing Liao Dagui's red eyes, Zhao Fuxiang asked: "Dagui, you didn't sleep last night?"

Seeing Zhao Fuxiang come in, Liao Dagui quickly stood up and saluted, and then said: "Sir, I already suffered last night, how can you let these pirates succeed a second time?"

Looking at Liao Dagui's appearance, Zhao Fuxiang was very moved. He patted Liao Dagui and said, "Dagui, go to bed! You don't need to follow me today. Just pick two of your men to follow me!"

Liao Dagui nodded in agreement and went out to arrange for his men to accompany Zhao Fuxiang out. At this time, Huang San got up from the bed and looked at Liao Dagui who was going out. Huang San said: "Executive Zhao, this guy is so loyal to you. What a blessing to Mr. Zhao! May I ask Zhao?

How did Yuanwai do it?”

Zhao Fuxiang smiled slightly and said casually: "Be sincere and treat people with affection; treat people with sincerity; be open and honest and convince people with reason; be consistent in words and deeds and win people with trust; enforce orders and prohibitions and govern people in accordance with the law; put yourself in others' shoes and be tolerant; encourage people.

If you blame yourself, you will give credit to others; if you reward others based on your merits, you will reward others!"

Huang San was confused when he heard what Zhao Fuxiang said. He had no idea what this sentence meant. Zhao Fuxiang knew from the look on Huang San that he didn't know, so he didn't explain that this was a famous saying by later generations Yi Zhongtian when he evaluated Cao Cao.

Zhao Fuxiang smiled and said: "Huang San, you must have slept enough last night. Now get up and follow me! I will take you to see the power of industry!"
