"You can't touch these people. Study for eight or eight years, o" Yan Siqi frowned and shook his head.
It's not that he doesn't want to move the people with the tiger flag, but that he can't move. Da Yuan Island is Li Dan's territory. He can come to Da Yuan Island to establish a foothold here because he cooperates with Li Dan and the two families jointly develop Da Yuan Island.
Now there is another tiger-character flag, and he will set up a stronghold in Benbeigang in the future. It is obvious that Li Dan is on guard against him. If he takes action against the people of the tiger-character flag at this time, there is no guarantee that Li Dan will not take action against him.
With his current strength of several thousand men, he is ultimately unable to cope with Li Dan, because with a tiger-shaped flag, all ten of his villages are included, and the gains outweigh the losses.
The middle-aged man with a pockmarked face said, "Let's just let these northerners set up a stronghold on Taiyuan Island."
Yan Siqi said, "It's not that simple to establish a stronghold. The indigenous people on the island alone are enough for them to cope with, and they also have to cultivate fields. Otherwise, how can these hundreds of people feed themselves? If they want to gain a foothold on Dajuan Island, It’s not that easy.”
The pockmarked middle-aged man nodded in agreement.
When they came to the island, they went through a lot of hardships to reach the current scale, and now they can only barely maintain the situation.
"The eldest son."
Someone shouted outside the cabin.
Yan Siqi and the pockmarked middle-aged man in front of him looked at each other, and the two stood up and headed outside the room.
"The eldest son has not rested so late."
Yan Siqi let Li Guozhu and Zheng Tie, who came with Li Guozhu, into the house.
"I've seen Master Yan." Zheng Tie cupped his fists.
"Young Master, Shopkeeper Zheng, please take a seat." Yan Siqi made a gesture of invitation and then said, "Come here, prepare two cups of hot tea."
"I'll go get ready."
The middle-aged man with a pockmarked face said something, and then confessed to Li Guozhu and Zheng Tie before retreating from the room.
"I wonder if the eldest son and shopkeeper Zheng came to my room so late. I didn't make arrangements, so the brothers in Tiger Flag were wronged." Yan Siqi looked at Li Guozhu and Zheng Tie respectively.
"Master Yan has misunderstood. We, the people of Tiger Character Banner, have been settled very well." Zheng Tie said, "Actually, the main reason for coming here with the eldest son this time is to discuss some matters with Master Yan."
"Shopkeeper Zheng, please speak."
Zheng Tie said, "I'm afraid I will have to bother Master Yan for a while before I can separate the stronghold in such a hurry this time. I hope Master Yan won't blame me."
"Haha, Shopkeeper Zheng is out." Yan Siqi said with a hearty smile, "You and I are both Han people. When we come to the island, we naturally have to support each other. Why bother? If Shopkeeper Zheng is willing, the people of your company You can always live in my ten villages."
"I appreciate Master Yan's kindness." Zheng Tie bowed slightly and said, "I came to Da Yuan Island this time on the order of my proprietor, who needs to reclaim a piece of land on Da Yuan Island to feed the island. At the same time, it also allows my Tiger Flag ships to obtain supplies on the island and play a transit role."
Yan Siqi smiled and said, "That being the case, I won't force you to stay. However, before your company's village is established, even if you live here, the food and drink expenses will not be as good as others in the village." Bad people.”
"Thank you so much for Master Yan's kindness." Zheng Tie clasped his fists and said, "I'm very grateful to be able to live here with Master Yan. How dare you trouble the brothers in Master Yan's village about food? We can solve it ourselves."
Yan Siqi said, "Shopkeeper Zheng is too outsider. Now that you have come to the island, you are my brothers. How can I let you prepare your own food? You will eat it in my village from now on. Although I don't have much food here, I can't prepare it." Buying some seafood can still fill your stomach.”
Li Guozhu on the side said at this time, "Brother Yan, you don't need to persuade them. Shopkeeper Zheng brought food with them when they came, and there will be ships delivering food in the future, so you don't have to worry about them not being able to eat."
"Okay then," Yan Siqi said, "If you don't have enough food to eat, you can tell me. If you have more food, don't dare to tell me. At least the brothers in the Tiger Flag will not be hungry."
Zheng Tie said with a smile, "If the day comes, I will definitely ask Master Yan for help."
"Haha, it's easy to say, they are all brothers." Yan Siqi said with a hearty smile.
Zheng Tie laughed a few times in agreement.
"Okay, you two, let's talk about business first." Li Guozhu said, "Brother Yan, the owner of the Tiger Flag is cooperating with my Li family and wants to establish a stronghold on the island. I also hope that Brother Yan can help arrange a suitable place. The place."
"That's no problem." Yan Siqi patted his chest and said, "Master Li said in his letter that you are going to build Beigang. When the time comes, I will have someone take you there and pick out a suitable place to set up a stronghold. It won't take too long to build a stronghold of more than 300 people." It’s big and can be built in less than half a month.”
"Thank you so much, Master Yan." Zheng Tie said as he cupped his hands, "The more than three hundred of us are just the first batch, and more people will come in the future, so the village needs to be built bigger, with at least a thousand people. The above scale will continue to be expanded in the future if necessary.”
Hearing this, Yan Siqi raised his eyes slightly, and then smiled and said, "If you build such a large village, you must carefully consider the location when choosing it, and try to be as close to the island as possible, and be careful of the harassment of the indigenous people on the island. "
Zheng Tie smiled and said, "Master Yan knows the island quite well. Do you know if there is a suitable place to build a stronghold in Benbeigang?"
Yan Siqi put his chin in his hand and thought for a while, then said, "There is a place, but it is a bit far away from my tenth village. If something happens, I am afraid that I will be out of reach here and will not have time to rescue."
"I wonder where the place Master Yan mentioned is?" Zheng Tie asked.
As for Yan Siqi's worries, he didn't care. They, the Tiger Flag, were coming to Dajuan Island. How could they put their own safety on others? In the end, they still had to rely on themselves.
"My eldest son, Shopkeeper Zheng, there is no good tea on the island, please forgive me."
A middle-aged man with a pockmarked face came in from outside, bringing several cups of hot tea on wooden trays, and placed a cup in front of everyone.
Li Guoshu said with a smile, "I know what the situation is on Taiyuan Island, but it's good to be able to drink tea."
"Thank you for your understanding, eldest son." The pock-marked middle-aged man raised his hand and said, "You two, please have some tea."
Yan Siqi turned to the middle-aged man with a pockmarked face and said, "Old Xu, you are here at the right time. Shopkeeper Zheng wants to build a thousand-person stronghold in Benbeigang. Is there a suitable place?"
The middle-aged man with a pockmarked face frowned, thought for a while, and said, "There is a place, but it is a bit far away from our Shizhai, and the place is too close to the island. There are often indigenous people on the island, so it is not safe. ensure."
"Kang Zangli, Lao Xu, you and I have thought of the same thing." Yan Siqi said.
Listening to the two people's talk, Zheng Tie couldn't help but ask, "Master Yan, and this brother Xu, I wonder what place you two are talking about, can you take me there to take a look?"
"You really want to go?" Yan Siqi frowned.
Zheng Tie nodded and said, "If that place is really suitable for building a stronghold as Master Yan said, I still hope to see it with my own eyes. If it is suitable, the stronghold can be established earlier." 11
