But even so, what he said is still useful! So during his break, he forced all pirates to buy the Qinglong Ya flag and brought a large number of pirates to the vicinity of Zhoushan. Prepare to show the pirates with practical actions that you can live a good life without robbing!
But no matter how much he tried to persuade him, no pirate dared to go to the nearest port of Ningbo! Instead, they gathered together and pretended to start a war at any time, for fear that Liu Guangting planned to sell them to get a job!
There are even some pirates who have begun to connect in private, preparing to kill Liu Guangting before running away when a large naval fleet appears! But what broke all this was just three navy patrol ships!
The pirates were also very nervous when they first gathered in Zhoushan, for fear of being cooked by the navy! Until they were discovered by the navy patrol fleet, they placed all their hopes on the Qinglongya flag! As a result, when they found out that the navy had just inspected the tooth flag and really ignored them, someone finally believed that what Liu Guangting said could be realized and decided to take the risk to the harbor to test it out!
The first person to arrive at the port was a small pirate gang that had just "surrendered" and was composed of a group of fishermen. They are not so much pirates as they are cheap laborers for the owner of the nest, doing offshore transshipment work all day long! Even the money to buy the dental flag was advanced by Liu Guangting!
Their big boss entered Ningbo Port with the determination to test the poison. As a result, the ship was surrounded by a crowd of people before it even stopped! If it weren't for the fact that none of the people surrounding him had weapons, the pirate leader would have almost given the order to take action!
After he had the courage to ask, he discovered that the people surrounding him were all businessmen who wanted to hire him! Then he got off the boat and found out what was going on!
It turns out that after the sea was banned during this period, the ships of the wealthy gentry refused to buy the Qinglong Ya flag and did not dare to go to sea. A small number of those ships that secretly went to sea were caught by the navy, and even the ships and cargo were lost, so there was no one Dare to sneak out to sea. Read the book
In addition, the pirates went to see Liu Haojia again, and were then led by Liu Guangting to arrest people in circles at sea. For a long time, no ships went to sea, so there was a backlog in the warehouses at the port, even in the cargo stacking area, and even in various warehouses. The goods are piling up!
Naturally, the anxious merchants jumped to their feet in this situation, but there was nothing they could do! Now that a sea ship is coming, it is natural to seize the time to discuss the shipment! So the first pirate to enter the port happily picked up the job with the shortest distance and the richest pay!
After negotiating the price, he naturally started loading the goods, but he forgot to notify his colleagues outside! It wasn't until they finished loading that they thought of turning to Zhoushan to report the news to the pirates! So the frantic pirates finally believed Liu Guangting's words when they saw his ship full of goods. Then they admitted their mistakes to him one by one and rushed to the port they were familiar with!
Then a large number of ships poured into the ports in various places, so the ecstatic merchants met the ecstatic pirates, and the two sides hit it off! The merchants were finally able to transport the goods away, and the pirates all got double the pay and set sail!
When they came to Zhoushan again, they found that their big dragon head was still parked here with the fleet. Only then did they react. Their big dragon head didn't take any work at all! So these pirates were all very grateful to Liu Guangting. They felt that this leader was a good one and left all the most lucrative work to themselves!
Therefore, all pirates who met Liu Guangting would pay their respects, and Liu Guangting naturally said countless words of praise, asking them to seize this opportunity to start a new life! The pirates naturally nodded in agreement.
After the first group of people had left with their cargo, Liu Guangting broke up the fleet and arranged for them to go to various ports. However, he personally led a fleet straight to the Yangtze River estuary, preparing to go to Nanjing.
This time there were a few more people in his fleet, including brothers Li Feiyu and Zhang Shitou. At this time, they were extremely convinced of Liu Guangting, and they could be said to be submissive! But even so, they were still a little puzzled by Liu Guangting's move!
Li Feiyu directly asked Liu Guangting: "Da Longtou, it's difficult for us to keep a boat with so many people. You ask them to go to various ports to pick up work first. When we go there, even if there is business, the price will drop." , not cost-effective!"
Liu Guangting said with a smile: "Is that what you think?"
Li Feiyu said in surprise: "Yes, is there any reason for this?"
Liu Guangting shook his head and said: "Well, there is no reason! But don't you think you should be more open-minded?"
Hearing what he said, several other pirate leaders gathered around, wanting to hear what reasons Liu Guangting could give. To be honest, they were very envious when they heard the prices their companions paid for jobs!
Just listen to Liu Guangting say: "You have been running ships all your life and transporting goods to people all your life. Don't you want to sell the goods yourself? Instead of taking the freight, why not just be your own shipowner and sell some goods?" You’ll earn more by paying for shipping!”
At this moment, Li Feiyu and others suddenly realized that Liu Guangting was not satisfied with running errands for businessmen and earning some hard money. He wanted to take advantage of his own ship and people to make profits himself!
Hearing this, Li Feiyu hit his head repeatedly and said, "I'm so stupid, I didn't even think of this!"
But a pirate leader next to him said with a sad face: "Li Feiyu, even if you think about it, there is nothing you can do! Do you think any of us here except the big dragon head has the money to purchase goods?"
Another pirate also chimed in and said, "That's right. A shipment of goods costs tens of thousands of taels of silver. If we encounter valuable goods, it may even cost hundreds of thousands of taels. We can't even scrape together the money!"
When Li Feiyu heard what they said, his joy was extinguished again! Just when he was about to ask Liu Guangting if he could borrow some money, he heard Liu Guangting say slowly: "I say you are stupid, but you are really stupid! Just put in as much stock as you have, and fill in the remaining short positions." By hauling goods, you can not only make some money yourself, but also get a share of the freight! As long as you make two or three trips to the sea, you can collect the money to buy a whole shipload of goods!"
Everyone was even more upset after hearing this! Because although Liu Guangting pointed out the idea to them, if they came out to fight and rob, who would put the money he had saved on the boat, it must be the safest place in his hometown. So now they have no money at all!
