Chapter Eleven Fire Cloud(1/2)
After hearing this, Liu Yi said, "The law is the law. The law of the Great Chu originally stipulates that those who do not receive bounties must also donate the bounty.
I think this is the case. Going to sea requires a large amount of money and materials. There are indeed difficulties. You might as well convert your bounty into equity capital. If we have the will to come back from the other side in the future, then how about dividends to you according to the equity capital?"
"this……"
"Okay, this one is good..."
"Then let's just say that," Liu Yichang laughed.
"Can we still increase our capital?" Suddenly the ship owner spoke again.
Going out to sea and travel tens of thousands of miles to perform tasks. It is a life-long act. No matter how much material preparations are, you won’t think there are too many.
Not to mention, some of the supplies on the cargo ship were burned down.
Liu Yi thought about it and decided to make the decision for Xu Yi. He smiled and said, "Of course, but the ship owner Zhang has figured it out. Going to sea is very dangerous, and there is less than half the chance of returning!"
Boat owner Zhang laughed: "I have been a peddler and barracks all my life, but I have been a flies. During the night dream, I often wake up in my eyes and see my hair white. I still fear that I will live in this life!
Now that there is such a good opportunity, a real man will not take the opportunity to show his ambitions. He will be famous for thousands of years. Are he really going to be like a mediocre person, living a hundred and eighty years old, but lying on the hospital bed and watching his children crying next to him?"
The generous speech touched all the people around him, and they shouted loudly: "Yes, as Taizong said, a real man was still wrapped in a horse and a corpse, so how could he be in bed and in the hands of his children? Is it true that when he dies of old age, he has to take care of his children? How glorious is this kind of thing?"
After a few words, everyone laughed out loud. All their eyes were full of brilliance.
If a person has no dreams, what is the difference between it and a salted fish?
Not knowing what happened, Liu Yi suddenly remembered the words of a certain Stephen Chow.
However, in another mediocre world, how many people can still maintain such pure dreams or ambitions at such middle age?
An old horse is in the stable. Ambition is thousands of miles away. A hero is in his old age and has not yet achieved his ambition!
Boat owner Zhang said: "I am willing to spend all my family's wealth and come to participate in the grand event!"
"In this way, I will agree to Brother Xu." Liu Yi said with a smile.
Just after returning to the ship, Xu Yi also negotiated with the huge fleet later. He had excitement on his face: "Do you know whose fleet belongs to?"
Someone asked in surprise: "Is this huge fleet not from the court? But from a private one?"
"Of course it belongs to the private family. And it belongs to the Yu family in Jiangzhou..."
“Wow…”
When everyone heard that it was the Yu family in Jiangzhou, they couldn't help but exclaim.
The Yu family was the most heroic family when the founding of the Great Chu country. However, after about 300 years of inheritance, the leader of the Yu family, Yu Jiye, was obsessed with the wickedness and had a rebellious heart.
He actually took advantage of the new emperor's demise and led his troops into the palace with a ill intention.
However, it was killed by Fan Bufan, who was known as the leader of Zhongxing.
Later, those meritorious families gathered again to rebel. All of them were destroyed by the emperor. Most of the families were confiscated.
Only the Yu family was preserved because of their achievements during the founding of the country, and although the capital's main branch was all executed.
But the branch that remained in Jiangzhou was preserved. From then on, he changed his mind and was a low-key person. He continued to this day.
Although he no longer had the temperament of the leader of the powerful group and the emperor, his family business was preserved and he was one of the old families of Dachu.
When Liu Yi heard this, he smiled calmly. He was not shocked by the sound of the Yu family. The world changed. The royal Fan family, who ruled the world back then, is now hidden behind the scenes, ruled with a stubborn rule and no longer held power. Not to mention the Yu family, it is no longer a wealthy family.
"What did the Yu family say?" Liu Yi asked.
"The Yu family is rich and naturally looks down on our rewards. They just collected a little symbolically. Then they left in a hurry. To be ashamed, I didn't even see the master of the Yu family. I just saw an official family!"
"Such an old nobleman. I was proud of it. Since this matter has been gone, it would be fine. I have good news to tell you..."
Liu Yi talked about the matter between Boat Master Zhang and others. Xu Yi was indeed overjoyed.
In fact, every time the Imperial College Supervisor goes overseas, it is not that there is no one to invest in it. It is that there are too many.
Even in Yanjing, there are industries that specialize in serving this. The number is venture capital.
However, he asked for rewards very harshly. Even if he returned safely, most of the returns were taken over by these investors.
Xu Yi is very ambitious, but he is unwilling to work for others. Therefore, he would rather find a way out by himself.
As for retail investors like Zhang Chuanzhu, no matter how much materials he invests, he will never be able to shake his dominance.
No, those venture capitalists have strong backstages. Many of them are behind-the-scenes investments such as court bosses and nobles in the capital. The muddy waters are extremely deep, they are all crocodile-level, and they have too much appetite. They can peel off a small prison student like Xu Yi.
But an ordinary businessman like Shipkeeper Zhang obviously does not have this kind of strength, nor does he have that kind of political status. He is not worried about being swallowed by him in one bite.
After a few days of rushing, the ship owner Zhang said that he was right. He simply sold most of the industries that could be sold out and directly invested in Xu Yi's fleet, occupying half of the shares.
Even Liu Yi was assigned a stock of two points because of the rescue fleet and helped win over new investors.
After half a month, I finally got everything done in all kinds of things. The fleet that doubled twice set off from Guyang and had to pass Gushui and enter the river.
Then we passed the river, went straight down the Yancanal, crossed Danhu, and entered the sea.
This trip is not close. In order to be afraid of encountering dangers along the way, we naturally have to be careful.
Fortunately, the journey was smooth and there was no trouble.
When he remembered the trip, the entire Qili Town and Guyang County were sensational, and he cheered and sent off several miles along the river. Liu Yi couldn't help but feel a little bit of emotion.
A little spiritual light rose from the middle of my eyebrows, and a divine pool talisman appeared in the mud ball.
But it seems to be separated by frosted glass, and it can't be seen clearly.
Compared to when I first came out, at most, this piece of frosted glass seems to have been wiped clean. There is no difference between the others.
"The evil god projection I killed last time is too weak after all. A little divinity is not enough to allow me to parse the rules of this world. But at least, it can be considered a little strength to recover. I barely have the power to protect myself!"
Liu Yi thought about this and unconsciously walked to the bow of the boat. The scenery in the distance gradually became clear, and it was actually Danhu that arrived.
His heart was shocked, sensing the power of Dan Tang. However, he could not sense anything. Or there was an extremely subtle sense, as if it was thousands of miles apart.
At least Dan Tang has nothing to do, so if you think about Mu Yao and others, you may be fine.
Liu Yi felt a little relieved. Unfortunately, it was not autumn at this time. Otherwise, he could see the red maple on both sides of the shore like fire, as if he wanted to burn the entire lake.
"There is a temple of the goddess Danhu in front of us. Let's go and incense sticks. Please ask the goddess for blessing..." Xu Yi walked over from behind and said with a smile.
Dan Tang is not only the goddess of Danhu, but also the god of the ocean in Dachu. Most of the people who go out to sea worship.
Liu Yi nodded and said nothing. He immediately sent a small boat to the temple on the island.
Seeing this temple, there were still troops stationed all year round. Although there were not many, only thirty people, they were all imperial guards wearing light silver armor.
This was the imperial guards sent by the royal family to guard the temple. These three thousand imperial guards are probably one of the most powerful forces in the royal family.
The emperor ruled with his pride and lived in seclusion behind the scenes. He did not govern the country himself. However, it was still a symbol of Great Chu. Whether it was the sacrifice of heaven and earth, the reception of barbarian kings, or even the lords of the foreign vassals, the emperor needed to see him personally.
In the hearts of the people, the emperor was completely deified and transformed into the most sacred symbol, and also the symbol of the entire Great Chu.
Therefore, people like Ship owner Zhang would call to serve the emperor.
However, Dantang Temple here is a royal temple. Like the earthly temple on Fenglai Mountain, it is a sacred place protected by the royal army.
However, in Liu Yi's opinion, although this temple is solemn, it is godless. It is just a manifestation of emptiness. Seeing it is just a slight loss.
Now the sacrificial sacrifice has passed. The fleet has traveled a little longer. It takes more than a day to see the waters around Dan Lake begin to become narrow.
But at this moment, Liu Yi really saw a cloud of fire that suddenly appeared from the horizon. In an instant, it reflected the horizon and the lake water.
Then the fire clouds surged over at high speed like galloping horses. An indescribable pressure hit the hearts of everyone in the fleet. It seemed that a catastrophe was about to fall.
"No, it's the Fire Cloud Sky Curtain..." A scream rang out on the ship. Obviously, he seemed extremely awe of the Fire Cloud Sky Curtain.
Liu Yi quickly found the relevant memories from Qin Shiyue's memory, and he couldn't help but change color for a moment.
"You are so shameless..." Xu Yi gritted his teeth in anger. Unexpectedly, he just rejected the investment requests of those big shots in the capital. It would be fine if they sent someone to intercept them last time. This time, he actually dispatched such a master!
For a moment, Xu Yi's face was ashes. The master who could use the Fire Cloud Sky Screen was already at the peak of the world.
Moreover, such spells are even more powerful spells of tactical level. They have made many amazing achievements on the battlefield. Don’t mention small fleets like them.
In the past battles between the Great Chu and the enemy on the other side, as soon as these fire clouds and sky curtains emerged, the enemies on the other side had to fear and retreat.
The fire clouds covered the fleet's top. In an instant, the temperature around began to rise rapidly, and the surroundings became foggy.
Large clusters of flames dripped from the air. Even if they dripped on the water, they would not go out and burned. Not to mention, they would have any consequences when dripped on these wooden sailboats!
Seeing that the entire fleet was about to encounter a catastrophe, even Liu Yi's power at this time was not enough to stop him.
However, Liu Yi still took action.
However, at this time, he did not take action personally, but communicated with a little bit of will.
Then, the entire Dan Lake rolled and boiled at this moment, with white waves surging, clouds covered, and silver snake-like thunder dancing in the air.
The strong wind and rain poured on the fire clouds above the sky, but a strange cry was heard. All the fire clouds in the sky were gathered together, revealing a figure in a robe.
He screamed strangely and wanted to escape to the distance, but a lightning flashed over.
The man was shocked, his hair and clothes were burned. However, he accelerated, and a red light surged from his body and flew towards the distance. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
"Thank you for helping Danhu, thank you for helping Danhu..."
Many sailors escaped and couldn't help but kneel on the deck and cry with joy.
To be continued...
