"Why did you come back so quickly?"

On the dock, Chen Yuting asked his master.

Li Yan smiled and said, "Things go well, so it's fast."

It turned out that Li Yanzhi took Cai Dalu as the guide and led the fleet to the southeast to the southeast, reaching near the entrance of a river on Dayuan Island. There was a relative named Gu Sheng on Cai Dalu, who set up a fishing village of more than a dozen families. Li Yanzhi took over the fishing village and used it as a stronghold to send Wang herders to the north and Wu Ping to the south. He led his people into the inland, explored the surrounding land 30 miles, swept through two thieves to ensure the safety of the fishing village, and at the same time expressed goodwill to the local residents. Unfortunately, the group of Japanese pirates were still not found.

This place is not far from Penghu, and Gu Sheng's fishing village also has contacts with Penghu. Li Yanzhi has done so many things in Penghu, and Gu Sheng has heard of it. The residents nearby heard that a filial pier came and brought food pots to welcome him. Li Yanzhi set up a thick wharf beside the harbor near the village, set up a fence, set up a tent, and left Wang's herdsmen to guard for a while, but he returned to Penghu with Wu Ping first.

After returning to Penghu, he saw that Chen Yuting had built a fence on the periphery of the village on the island. A water village had already become large in size. He couldn't help but praise it twice, but he saw small boats running around and exploring everywhere. Some people were driving piles dozens of feet outside the Penghu water village, and they wrapped seven or eight pieces of land with bamboo. Li Yan did not explain this. After returning to the village, he asked Chen Yuting what he was going to do.

Chen Yuting took out a rough drawing and said, "This is Penghu. I plan to build a market along this area, and to the east, establish a new fishing village, and stand with the water village. Then in Xiyu, Baqiao Island, and Longmen Port..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yanzhi stopped him and said, "Wait, wait, what are you doing! I asked you to train people and surveillance ports, just to use it as a place for us to take over overseas, so as to save my second brother from the Eastern Tour. You are still planning to go to the market and fishing village. Do you want to live here forever?"

"Yes!" Chen Yuting's face was still excited and said, "This is a treasure land! It's a waste to build a foothold! I want to do this..." He described to Li Yanzhi, saying that he planned to build a brand new small ideal country in Penghu, but as he spoke, he found that Li Yanzhi had little response, so he stopped and asked, "Why, Sanshe, do you disagree? Or am I wrong?"

"You did not do anything wrong," Li Yanzhi smiled bitterly and said, "But do you know how much money and time it will take to accomplish this?"

Chen Yuting shouted: "It's good to make as much money as possible, and I'll stick to it if it's time!"

Li Yan sighed and said, "Money may be solved, but as you said, it will take at least three or five years to achieve a small scale! It will take at least ten or eight years to achieve great results! We can't go to the second young master after three or five years."

Chen Yuting was stunned when he heard this. He was so excited that he forgot the direct purpose of the corps going to sea.

Li Yanzhi was afraid of damaging his enthusiasm, so he hurriedly said, "Actually, I also have the idea of ​​developing here. With our current manpower and material resources, the two things can be done side by side without any conflict. It can even complement each other. But there is a huge difficulty in this. So I will put it aside for the time being."

Chen Yuting asked, "What's the difficulty? Is it money?"

"Money can be solved." Li Yan said straight: "But there is no one who can stay here and defend it. Our foundation is still in the country, and we cannot connect Youxi's power with this place legitimately. If there is only one water camp in this area, it will be fine, but if we turn it into a piece of fat, it will take a lot of energy to protect it. Otherwise, as soon as we leave the mainland, others will step in. At that time, we will give up the hard work. If it falls into the hands of the bandits, it will be even more like a capital enemy. Therefore, this area will either not be developed or developed, unless there is a capable person who can stay here."

When Chen Yuting heard this, he said, "How am I?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "Although you are young, you are mature, so it's okay to let you guard a small village now. If you can grow up with the growth of this village, you will be able to stand alone in a few years. But, you can't."

Chen Yuting asked: "Why?"

Li Yan said straight: "It's too hard here. I can't bear it, and I can't bear it either. Forget this matter. When we save my second brother, we will go back to the mainland. First, we will urge the court to open the sea, and then we will enter here with a legitimate attitude and develop it slowly. By then, the conditions here will be better than now. If we come again, it will be much smoother."

Chen Yuting heard that, but refused to nodded. After a long time, he said, "Sanshe, I don't want to leave! I open the sea and I don't know when I will wait! I'm not afraid of hardship. I decided to stay here. Finally, there is such a clean place, whether it's success or failure, I want to give it a try! Maybe it's really possible for me to try it! The situation in the mainland is too complicated, and I don't think I'm very suitable for it."

Li Yan said straight: "The mainland is complicated because it is too mature. This is simple because the whole society has just started and there is nothing to argue for. When there are interests and factions here, it will become complicated sooner or later."

Chen Yuting said, "We can design things from the beginning to reduce disputes! In short, drawing on a piece of white paper will be much better than modifying and modifying them on messy pictures!"

Li Yanzhi pondered for a long time, but when he saw that he was so persistent, he stopped persuading him and said, "You really want to stay here and suffer? Even if you get nothing in the end?"

Chen Yuting was very determined and said, "Yes!"

"If you really have this determination, then I won't stop you." Li Yan said straight: "But everything is difficult at the beginning. Do you have any ideas on how to build this Wanqiu in your mind?"

"Sanshe, you have taught me that such things are just two major things: people and money." Chen Yuting said: "As for people, these residents of Penghu are very simple now and are willing to listen to us. But these people are not independent yet. We can first select the better materials and train them to become leaders of each village. After this group of people grow up, they will have their own ideas to build their hometown according to local conditions. At that time, we can let them do it!"

Li Yan smiled and said, "It sounds good."

"As for money," Chen Yuting said: "Their production model is too backward now, and some are still slashing and burning! I can invite good farmers from the mainland to teach them, find good seeds, and teach them to farm. They also fish, but they eat them all by themselves after they are beaten. It's useless. We can teach them to dry them into dried fish, or buy their fish, and then transport them to Quanzhou and Yuegang to sell them."

Li Yan frowned and said, "How much does these two things cost?"

Chen Yuting said: "Of course, you have to spend money in the early stage. It is best to make a profit. I will also want to tell my family about it and see if my father and my brother can help us pay a little."

Li Yan shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm unwilling to pay, I can't pay, but your idea is wrong, it's just that you're not right!"

Chen Yuting said in surprise: "Not right?"

"Of course it's not right!" Li Yan said straight: "You are doing this now, wishful thinking. It's hard to say whether these people in Penghu will cooperate with you. Whether doing business or building a port, you must act according to the times and follow the trend."

Chen Yuting's eyes lit up, and he still looked like he was in Youxi Liuyi Hall. He opened his eyes wide and wanted to see what words that amazes him. He asked, "How do you move from time to time and how do you follow the trend?"

Li Yan said straight: "If you can adapt to the current situation, you can turn this place into a place to make money. This is called moving from time to time. If you can turn this place into a place to make money, there will naturally be a large number of people coming over, which is called walking with the flow. Penghu is lonely overseas and far away from the mainland. The only group that can develop in this area is maritime smugglers. If you want this place to become a place to make money, you have to make smugglers need it. As long as there are things that smugglers need here, they will come over. After these people come, popularity, money and so on will follow. With popularity and money, you will be able to do things next."

Chen Yuting pondered for a while and said, "Tea, raw silk, ceramic!"

These are indeed the goods that smugglers need the most, but Li Yanzhi said: "No! They can get these things in Shuangyu, Wuyu. Moreover, Wuyu and Wuyu are close to the mainland and have lower transportation costs. This place is far from the mainland. If you drag the goods from the inland to hoard them here, the cost will be higher. You can't compete with Shuangyu, Wuyu, or even Nanao."

Chen Yuting said: "What else do they need? Iron pot and sulfur?"

"Not these, not these." Li Yan said straight: "In fact, what can be provided to them here is not goods, but another kind of supply - grain!"

After hearing Li Yan's words that he would provide grain supplies to smugglers, Chen Yuting was even more puzzled: "Grain? Shuangyu, there are also those on the side of Wuyu."

"Yes, there are." Li Yan said straight: "But there is too close to the mainland - this is Shuangyu. The advantages of the Wuyu Island compared to Penghu are also their shortcomings! You must know that whether the Wuyu Island can provide food depends on the season. It is not the harvest season or the bad harvest season, but whether the imperial court is cracking down on it. Our court always has a gust of wind and gust of wind. It will not be strict and will not be slack forever. However, during the harsh period of the imperial court, the food from the mainland may not be transported out. Shuangyu and Wuyu will be too close to each other, and it will be greatly affected. That is the shortage season of private merchants at sea, and many people will not be able to withstand it."

Speaking of this, Chen Yuting finally understood it completely and shouted: "I understand! Sanshe, you mean that we can buy food when the imperial court is relaxed, and when the imperial court cracks down, there is a relatively safe place to provide them with supplies and use the senior officials as their safe haven, that way, that..."

"Then you will strangle their throat!" Li Yan said straight: "At that time, you will probably sell as much as you want. When their people get ashore and the goods enter the port, you can also talk to them about other things - the business will be launched like this. Of course, there is another premise, that is, you must have a certain degree of armed deterrence. If you don't have armed forces, you only have food, and that is waiting for people to rob. After armed deterrence, even the most vicious pirates will think twice after calculating the benefits and costs."

Chen Yuting said: "Then we will turn this place into a granary and try to buy grain from the mainland."

Li Yan smiled and said, "I have to buy it in the early stage. But in the long run, you can use the method you just did: seed!"

Chen Yuting smiled bitterly and said, "I am afraid that there will be no food in Penghu."

"Penghu is small, but what you want to do doesn't have to be in Penghu." Li Yanzhi turned his attention to the Southeast: "Yu Ting, I think you should go for a walk in the senior official."
