Chapter eight hundred and ninety seventh: a man with lofty dreams
On the Taiping ship, Ma Hou took Ning Ze, the second son of Ning family, to wash his bath and change his clothes. In the cabin, Qin Feng was talking to Zhou Li about the second son who fell from the sky.
"What else is this Ning Zeyuan?" Qin Feng asked: "What is the right thing to do in the Ning family?"
Zhou Li thought about it and said, "The Second Young Master Ning is still a very talented and ambitious person. However, he was born for many years. Even with the support of his father, it is difficult to beat his elder brother Ning Zefeng. Ning Zefeng is nearly fifteen years older than him. Now within the Ning family, the power has long been greatly improved. In recent years, Mr. Ning has grown older and has grown up in many tribes and has taken over many affairs for Ning Zefeng. The Second Young Master Ning has lived a very difficult life."
"Where does his talents and ambition show?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.
Zhou Li also laughed: "Your Majesty, it's hard to believe that this guy looks gentle and well-educated since childhood. Unlike us, we are all rough people, but the biggest dream of the second young master Ning is to be the biggest pirate. He dreams of one day he can drive the fleet and walk to the end of the sea."
Qin Feng browed, "This is really a great ambition. With the financial resources of his Ning family, if he could take power, he might be able to make something happen."
"It's true. To be honest, if it weren't for your summoning here, I would have followed him wholeheartedly." Zhou Li said: "No matter how powerful a family is, how can it be compared with a country? The king of the Ming Dynasty wants to start a maritime trade and build a fleet, which is the blessing of people like us, because I also have the same dream as the second son of Ning!"
Qin Feng laughed: "You should find out now that your choice is correct!"
"Of course." Zhou Li sighed.
"Young Master Ning has such a dream and has received the support of Mr. Ning? So, is this Mr. Ning also an amazing person?" Qin Feng said.
"A person who can control such a big family is of course an amazing person. But now that he is old, or when he reaches the end of the sea, it is also the dream of this old man, so he will particularly like Mr. Ning." Zhou Li sighed and said with emotion: "Mr. Ning, when he was young, was also a sensible figure!"
"Ning Zefeng is not such a person?" Qin Feng asked.
Zhou Li shook his head: "Ning Zefeng is not like this. He is very satisfied with the current situation. He has enough fleets to maintain overseas trade and make the most profits. Although our eldest son Ning has also gone out of the sea, he attaches more importance to land on land."
"The son of a dragon on the sea actually misses the land more. No wonder Mr. Ning likes the second son more." Qin Feng laughed.
"But Mr. Ning has already established his power. Now I am afraid that Master Ning can't do anything to him. If he comes, I'm afraid that the Ning family will have big problems. Ning is a big ship. If Mr. Ning doesn't want the ship to sink, he will have to surrender in the end." Zhou Li shook his head and said, "The people who went out to sea with Mr. Ning have now become rich and big landlords. How can he still have the aura of the past? It was because Master Ning caught these people that Mr. Ning could not move."
"Brother He in your mouth?"
"Oh, this person is also a famous figure at the sea, and is also the uncle of Mr. Ning Second Master, one of Mr. Ning's old brothers back then. It is precisely because of him that although Mr. Ning's mother is not a wife, her status in the Ning family is not low. But this time, I am afraid that Mr. He will lose everything." Zhou Li said.
Qin Feng smiled and said, "This time the person who guards this fleet was privately sent by this old man He?"
"It's very likely." Zhou Li said.
Qin Feng raised a faint smile on his lips, staring at the slightly undulating waves outside the window, and was ecstatic until Mahou appeared in the room: "Your Majesty, that second young master Ning has already washed his body and said he wants to see General Zhou!"
"Then please invite him over, Ma Hou, you haven't revealed your secrets, right?"
"How could it be?" Ma Hou smiled.
"Zhou Li, you will talk to them later. If they ask me, just say I am your deputy." Qin Feng said. "This person is a bit interesting."
"Is your Majesty interested in this person?"
"I am more interested in the Ning family!" Qin Feng smiled and said, "Don't you think it is valuable for a family with great strength on the sea, a family with great reputation in the south of Chu State, and a family that almost treats Quanzhou as its own industry?"
Zhou Li's eyes flashed: "Does Your Majesty want to control him?"
"There is no question of control, maybe we can cooperate." Qin Feng said.
"Then I will understand what to do!" Zhou Li said with a smile.
Qin Feng got up and went out, and happened to meet Mr. Ning and that old He at the door. Not to mention, Mr. Ning who changed into clothes after taking a bath is really a handsome young man. At least it is much better to sell than him. He really should not behave like a handsome man. It is hard to imagine that such a gentle person has the biggest dream of being a pirate who kills, sets, and robs.
It seems that Mr. Ning's robber genes have been passed down to this second young master! Qin Feng and Mahou walked onto the deck of the Taiping Ship with a smile.
"Uncle Zhou!" As soon as he entered the door, Ning Zeyuan clasped his fists and bowed to the ground. "I dare not thank you for saving my life, but Zeyuan can only remember it in his heart. In the future, Uncle Zhou will have something to use for his nephew, and his nephew will not dare to refuse."
He took the lead and helped Ning Zeyuan up. Zhou Lilang smiled and said, "What are the words of the second young master? When he was in Ning's family, the second young master took good care of him. This is a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."
"It's a trivial matter for Uncle Zhou, but for my nephew, my life is dead!" Ning Zeyuan said with a smile.
"That's right, the second young master, sit down, brother He, sit down and say, I have already ordered my head to prepare the food and drinks, let's have a few drinks tonight, so as to suppress the shock." Zhou Li stretched out his hand and gave in.
He Ying's face was a little serious, and he just nodded and sat down. The second young master Ning sat next to Zhou Li with a smile, "Uncle Zhou, you suddenly disappeared. I thought you had planned for the elder brother, but later I found that your family and some of your old subordinates were also gone. I knew that Uncle Zhou, you are planning another branch. In fact, you said to your nephew at that time, and your nephew will definitely give it to him. You don't know, because of your departure, my father was very angry."
Zhou Li smiled and thought to himself that if he really did what you said, he would be afraid that the grave grass would grow taller than others now.
Seeing Zhou Li laughing but not saying a word, the second young master Ning immediately changed the topic: "Uncle Zhou is a dragon in the sea. No matter where he goes, he will show his skills. Look at you, these two giant ships are really rare. It seems that they have just been newly launched. Where did Uncle Zhou make a fortune and suddenly got two such warships?"
Zhou Li smiled and said, "Second Young Master, there are more than two warships like Ning's family, right?"
The second young master looked a little embarrassed, "Uncle Zhou, let's talk about you first. I'm really curious. Let's talk about the little things in our family. Let's talk about it slowly when we look back."
"Okay!" Zhou Li nodded: "I left at that time, in fact, at the invitation of an old friend from the past, he said that an ambitious friend wanted to build a fleet, and the ships were built, but there was no suitable person to command, so I came over."
"As soon as you invite me, you will come to your whole family. This friend is really not easy!" Young Master Ning rolled his eyes and said.
"It's not that complicated, because that friend is a shipbuilder." Zhou Li smiled and said, "How can the second young master still see these two warships?"
"It's not just a sight to see?" Mr. Ning looked at Lao He: "Uncle, what do you think?"
"Although I'm just a quick look, I know that it's much stronger than our Ning family's three-story tower ship, and it's just the ship itself. Those things covered with felt cloth should be attacking weapons, but unfortunately I can't see it. Can Brother Zhou let me see it?" Lao He said.
"This is easy to say." Zhou Li said with a smile.
"Uncle Zhou just said that this is your warship, but this warship costs a lot. As far as I know, Uncle Zhou is afraid that he can't afford it, right?" said Mr. Ning Er.
"Of course I can't afford it. What I'm talking about is mine, which means I have absolute command over these two ships. On this sea, they belong to me." Zhou Li said with a smile.
"The person behind you is our colleague?" Mr. Ning asked slowly: "As far as I know, besides our Ning family, there are probably only Zhou family in Bozhou, Qi State, right?"
"The second young master Wuyou, when I was in Ning, I worked with the Zhou family many times on the sea. Many of them died at my hands. I worked for them? Isn't that asking for death? Both of my warships are from the Taiping Shipyard of the Ming Dynasty. Is it the one behind me? Hahaha, it's similar to the second young master's ideal."
"I am not a bargain!" Mr. Ning laughed at the second young master: "When will I be lucky enough to introduce this hero to my nephew?"
"No problem, the one behind me also values heroes the most." Zhou Li looked at Master Ning with a smile: "The second master seems to have many problems this time. Only Old He is accompanying him, but not a single main warship has come out. This is not very consistent with common sense."
The second young master looked gloomy.
Old He on the side yelled, "Zeyuan, what's there to hide from this? Old Zhou is from Ning. Is he still unclear about the little things about our family? The young master should have a main warship accompanying him during this long trip, but it was really coincidental that three main warships, two of them were overhauling, and the other one actually hit the reef a few days before departure, and the keel was damaged. In just a few months, it could not be repaired at all."
As expected, Zhou Li looked clear and he dug a hole for the second young master to jump.
