Pu Zhigao was anxiously waiting at home. It was actually not difficult to guess what he sent someone out to do. He just wanted to try to find a perfect solution. The so-called perfect solution is simple, that is, to find a way to go back to the island.

As long as he goes into the water and goes out to sea, Pu Zhigao will immediately have the capital to turn against Gan Qi. After thinking about it, this is the best way.

Ganqi, he is willing to cling to it, but he wants a relatively equal position, rather than a situation where he lets Ganqi control it.

The Pu family has money, and the Pu family has power. What the Pu family is pursuing now is an environment where they can live and prosper.

In this era, in comparison, the best place is the Song Dynasty. It is rich in material resources and prosperous in society. It can not only have a good development prospect, but also facilitate business transactions.

The best choice of the coastal areas along the Song Dynasty was Quanzhou.

But Pu Zhigao, all pursuits are ultimately the pursuit of a sense of security, the pursuit of a sense of security in the happy life of the entire family.

With Gan Qi's posture, Pu Zhigao's sense of security has been lost.

So he wanted to take the family and leave first, and he didn't want to break up with Gan Qi. He would make himself safe first, then bargain with Gan Qi, put himself in an invincible place before talking about other things.

Unfortunately, Pu Zhigao did not wait for any news, but someone came to visit him, with a large number of people, more than ten.

When someone met, he said, "Shopkeeper Pu, you have a good relationship with the prefect. Please help everyone. Hurry up and go to the prefectural office to beg for mercy. The ship is locked on the shore. We are really unable to live our lives."

"What? What is locked on the shore?"

"Shopkeeper Pu, do you really don't know or pretend not to know? You are fine. Your boats run everywhere, but our boats are not allowed to go into the sea. This business has become yourselves..."

"Shopkeeper Pu, isn't this something you discussed with that Gang Magistrate?"

Pu Zhigao closed his eyes and raised his head slightly. He understood that Gan Qi had already been guarding against him. Now, there is no ship in Quanzhou that can go into the sea. This is forcing himself to submit...

Pu Zhigao regretted it a little, and he regretted it too much. He could also guess where the people he sent out went.

Seeing that Pu Zhigao was not speaking, someone said again: "Shopkeeper Pu, isn't it really a guess by everyone?"

Pu Zhigao waved his hand: "Everyone, it has nothing to do with me. You all go back, I can't help you in this matter."

"Shopkeeper Pu, your appetite is too big. Can you do such a business alone?" The angry words were already out.

Some things cannot be considered. For example, in this matter, Pu Zhigao's hundreds of ships went out to do business, and even took Gan Qi's ship out. However, other people's ships were not allowed to go into the sea, and they had to lock them on the dock and climbed away.

It’s not a fault for not thinking too much.

"Yes, Manager Pu, you eat meat and we drink soup, and we have never been sad with you. Now it's good, and the soup won't be drunk? No matter how powerful you are, can your family eat so much?"

"Shopkeeper Pu, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, but it's a deep hatred..."

Pu Zhigao slowly stood up and said, "Yes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. This is right. Although my Pu family is powerful, there are more than 100 ships of all sizes. Think about it, how much cargo is produced in Quanzhou a year? Can one hundred ships be loaded? Even if I have two hundred or three hundred, can I loaded it?"

Everyone looked at each other and was slightly silent.

One person said again: "Shopkeeper Pu, then you can help more. Everyone knows what your relationship is with Gan Zhizhou, so please help me and talk about your relationship."

"Let's go, if I don't give it away, I can't even protect myself..." Pu Zhigao said and waved his hand to see him off.

These ship owners and shopkeepers begged Pu Zhigao to plead with Gan Qi at the Pu family.

Another scene appeared on the dock. The Cai family suddenly set up a stall on the dock and hung up the flag. There were boxes of cash.

Someone also shouted: "My Cai family recruits ship workers. I will give you four guan a month to go to sea, and I will give you four guan a month to go to sea and Yiguan a month to go to sea."

"What? I'll give Siguan to go to sea? I'll give money if I don't go to sea?"

"Yes, the contract is written in black and white. If you sign it, you will be from my Cai family. You will sign it every five years and you will never be deceived. The money you go to sea is twice as much as others. When you wait for the wind on the shore, you will also give your usual food money."

"There is such a good thing? Is it even more worthwhile if I don't work?"

"It's a black and white text, in duplicate, it's okay to sign it, then count it. My great-grandfather said that this is called paid leave."

The saying of paid leave is obviously not a word known to the Cai family’s great master, and it must have been learned from Gan Qi.

"Don't bully me for being illiterate!"

"Give it, the contract is given to you first. You can take it to find a literate person to read it, and then take it back."

"real?"

"Don't you know the authenticity after you find someone to read the contract?"

"Then... how many boat workers do you have to recruit in total? I have a bunch of brothers."

"Recruiting one thousand four hundred people."

"Ha... do you Cai's family have so many ships? One thousand four hundred people?"

"Of course there are ships. If you are optimistic about the contract, can you still cheat after signing? If you sign the contract, you can get the money and you can advance the payment of a month's money."

"Where are your Cai family going to get so many boats?"

"You don't have to worry about this. It doesn't take three months. My Cai family will naturally have so many boats. If you don't believe it, look at the box, it's full of money. As long as you sign it, you will immediately give four guan of money."

The yellow copper coins in the box are really eye-catching and can't be seen.

"You wait, I'll find someone to see the contract..."

"Go and go, hurry up, but my great-grandfather said, don't let Hu Fan, as long as the Song people, don't take those Hu Fan boatmen here. Don't just make up for the numbers. If there is any fraud, sue the yamen and go to jail to eat."

The Cai family wanted to recruit 800 ship workers, or Gan Qi wanted to recruit 1,400 ship workers.

Why don't you want foreigners?

Gan Qi was trying to prevent some inadvertently. This not only recruited sailors, but also recruited the backbone of the future navy. Loyalty is very important. People of Hu Fan believe in religion, which is a big problem.

Most of the sects in the west today are top-notch, and even the sects are above the country. Sects are above the country and above the law.

Therefore, these religious believers are a big trouble in China, and if they still recruit the army, it will be even more trouble. Once religious believers are pious, they will be irreversible. However, most of the believers in this era are extremely pious. It is impossible to make a devout believer give up his faith, and it is impossible to kill him, because he has a paradise of faith. This is the reason for religious fanaticism.

The sea is different from land. As long as you go out to sea, the sea will be wide and the fish will leap. Ethics and morals will no longer talk about binding force. The only constraint lies in the hearts of the people.

Gan Qi must control every ship 100%, with the Cai family as the backbone and the Song Dynasty ship workers recruited as the basis, so that he can achieve his wish and ensure loyalty.

The ultimate reason why Gan Qi insisted on suppressing the Pu family is this. They did not believe in your Confucianism, such as the world, kingdom, parents and teachers, nor did they agree with your China's feelings for family and country.

This is unsolvable in this era. Even in later generations, this problem will be well solved, but it has not been completely solved. We still need to work harder.

In the following time, Pu Zhigao did not go out at home and did not dare to move, for fear that he would be doomed if he moved.

But Gan Qi didn't come to the door either.

The only thing that was uncomfortable was that Pu Xier, who was waiting every day, asked his father over and over again, where did Ganqi go and which county he still didn't come back?

Pu Zhigao was perfunctory about his daughter and slowly thought about the way to break the deadlock, but he had become a turtle in the jar. It was too difficult to break the deadlock.

More than two months later, many roads under Quanzhou were finally repaired.

Above the bay port, the sails were flashing. The one who came back first was a slave ship. Ganba, who originally looked white and fat, now he looked dark. The sea breeze was soaking that no boatman was not like this kind of black wind and sun-drenched black.

The slaves were scattered in their eyes and were taken into the military camp outside the city by swords and guns.

Gan Ba ​​ran to Gan Qi at the first time, and burst into tears in excitement: "Brother, I'm back."

"It's so dark, haha..." Gan Qi smiled.

Gan Ba ​​raised his arm and looked at it, and replied with a smile: "Maybe the time will be back in vain. Fortunately, this trip will be ruined."

“How many people have you brought back?”

"More than 40 boats were almost full, and more than 6,000 people. When I went to Nanyang this time, I almost wiped out the land area within 40 or 50 miles of the coast. I also caught many young women, even thinking that I could give birth to some babies when I was full, so that the children could still work when they grew up." Gan Ba ​​reported that he was even more cruel than Gan Qi.

"I'm not as far as you think, it's good. Women are not in vain and can work. There have been many simple barracks built in Qingyang Iron Field, but the number of people is still too large. I'm afraid I can't live there, so I have to build more. I also need to send people to guard them, so I can't teach these people to escape."

"Brother, in my opinion, it's simple. Everyone has a mark on their face and a big word. They just run away wherever they are seen and will be rewarded when they are caught. These people have nowhere to escape. They will be caught and chop off their hands and feet." Gan Ba's method is inhumane and completely treats people like livestock.

Gan Qi nodded, "Just arrange this, leave this matter to you."

"Don't worry, brother, make sure it's right. After the completion, I will send someone to send them to Qingyang Iron Field."

Gan Qi nodded. Gan Ba ​​seems to have grown a lot now, and he has the ability to stand alone. This makes Gan Qi very pleased.

Gan Ba ​​didn't say much: "Brother, I'll go to do business first and have a drink in the evening."

Another scene happened on the dock. All the docking ships, all the Pu family members, were directly detained by the military men and drove everyone off the ship, and the Cai family went up to take over.

Before Gan Qi paid Pu Zhigao, the ship got it first. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a forced robbery.

A group of Pu family members who had just arrived ashore were stunned. They didn't know what was going on, so they could only hurry home and ask what happened to Pu Zhigao.

In the Pu family's house, they immediately shouted a masterpiece.

This one called Liantian, and the other was called to beat and kill.

After Pu Zhigao explained the matter clearly, he sat down without saying a word, looking at the Persian man full of righteous indignation in the room.

"Uncle, at worst, let's leave and not stay in this place."

"Yes, let's go and go back to Guangzhou. If you can't stay in Guangzhou, then go to Chameng! No matter how powerful the imperial court of the Song Dynasty is, he can't take care of Chameng."

"Dad, let's leave now, pack up our things, sell the house, let's go!"

Everyone looked at Pu Zhigao and finally calmed down.

Pu Zhigao just said: "Walk? Where to go? What to go?"

"Take on a boat, just get on the boat."

"Can you still get on those boats?" Pu Zhigao asked.
To be continued...
