Chapter 902： bribe

"Did you think my people would betray me?" Pedro sneered: "Just because of those yellow monkeys?"

Andre lowered his eyes and said lightly: "But those yellow monkeys defeated you."

Pedro's face was ugly, and Andre calmly picked up the cup to drink tea, which was given to him by a businessman in Daqi. It is said to be this year's Biluochun, a rare boutique.

"No matter what, we are all together," Pedro said: "Andre, if you want to continue doing business with the Han people, you have to help me."

"What do you want me to do for you?"

"Rescue my people. There are 458 people in total. Each of our warriors is very precious. Everyone survived the arduous voyage. I can't let them die here."

"It's impossible," Andre said: "If it was before, I could still move, but not now."

"I will pay for the event." Pedro looked at his face and said, "Three times!"

Andre hesitated. He is a businessman and only cares about interests. Although he is afraid of death, the benefits given by Pedro are worth taking a risk. "I have to go and find out first. Whether it works or not is another matter."

Seeing that Pedro's face was bad, Andre explained: "Master Yu, who worked with us before, was arrested, and now the government of Daqi is the master of Fan, and the prince has a very strong attitude towards us, and he The people in the past are different, and that prince is the one who led the troops to attack you this time."

Pedro didn't speak any more this time. He got up and bowed to Andre before turning around and striding away. He had to leave before dark. It was too dangerous to stay overnight in Guangzhou city.

As soon as Pedro left, Andre sat in the room and thought for a long time. Finally, he took out a small bag from his room and poured out a dozen rubies and sapphires. He chose the two largest among them and packed them.

Han people like this gem very much, and I believe that Mr. Fan who wants to get involved in sea trade will also like it.

But in fact, this thing is not expensive at all, and a fine piece of silk can be exchanged for this small bag, because he really can't think of any use for this thing other than decoration.

Many countries he has been to have this, but only Daqi has silk.

What Pedro and Andre didn't know was that Pedro had just left from him, and Qi Haoran had received the news.

Feibai whispered: "Master, the pirate chief hasn't left the city yet, why don't we..."

Qi Haoran raised his hand and said, "Since we're staying here, we won't be in a hurry to kill him. These foreigners have been dealing with passing maritime merchants in recent years, and there are no people from Qi who came ashore to burn, kill, and loot. It’s the Dongying people, keep them first, and wait until we reject the Dongying people, maybe there are other uses for keeping them.”

"Do you still want to keep an eye on the foreigners in that house?"

"Stare and see what they're going to do."

Staring, staring, and staring at the mansion, a few soldiers did not expect to stare at the Fan mansion. At this moment, not only the princes of the country, but also the princes and princesses lived in it. It was the foreigner who found out that he was being followed, so he came directly to the prince?

But the prince is not in the mansion at this moment.

Andre came to find Fan Zijin, and he came here specially to give gifts.

When Mu Yangling came to look for him, he happened to see Andre's back, and when he entered the flower hall, Fan Zijin was turning two gems in his hand. ."

The two gems are both very large and bright in color. They are also fine products, but they are not uncommon, but for no reason, why give her gems?

"Where did this thing come from?"

"That foreigner bribed just now," Fan Zijin said with a mocking look, "It's really like we haven't seen anything good, and the two gems actually wanted me to let me go. Am I so poor in Daqi?"

"How could he think of interceding with the pirates?"

"It's not an intercession," Fan Zijin said: "He is a businessman, and he should have taken over the business of pirates to redeem people. These two gems are like throwing stones to ask for directions."

"You promised him?" Or would you accept his gems?

Fan Zijin sneered and said, "Of course not, I thought it was easy for you to deal with it? Those who want your life, how can you just let it go? But some people are wasting food when they are locked up, so there is nothing wrong with letting them buy it. "

Just as Mu Yangling was about to object, Fan Zijin raised his hand and said, "No, don't yell at me, this is to make money for the fishermen to settle down and build a boat, even if you say that I will go to hell, I won't change my mind, so you still Save some energy, and I'm not Haoran, so I won't listen to you."

Mu Yang puffed up his cheeks with aura but glared at him.

Fan Zijin changed the subject and asked, "What are you looking for from me?"

"Come and borrow money from you." Mu Yangling didn't go around with him, but told him straightforwardly.

Fan Zijin showed a pained expression and said, "Did you two agree that he just borrowed 20,000 taels from me, are you coming again?"

Mu Yangling was taken aback, "Haoran borrowed 20,000 taels from you? What does he want so much money for?"

Fan Zijin's eyes flicked to one side, Mu Yang glared at him smartly, Fan Zijin coughed lightly, and betrayed his brother: "I seem to have heard him say that the sailors don't even have one weapon in hand. "

"Isn't this the court to allocate money?" They just found the money from the treasury of the previous dynasty.

"This money will also take a certain period of time, as little as one month, as many as three or four months."

"Then the court has to pay it back, right?"

"This is natural," Fan Zijin said immediately: "If no one else says it, even the emperor can't make Haoran suffer."

Mu Yangling was relieved and waved his hand: "Just borrow it, anyway, let the state treasury pay you back the money directly."

Fan Zijin was stunned for a moment, thinking, wouldn't it mean that he paid for the navy to buy weapons?

It is impossible for the emperor to make Haoran suffer a loss, but the Ministry of Household will not take money so easily. The most important thing is that how much money is not enough for Haoran to invest in the army. If it is recorded on his account, it is not him who suffers in the end?

Fan Zijin was about to part with Mu Yangling, but Mu Yangling blinked a pair of big innocent eyes and said, "Zijin, Haoran and I are in a hurry this time, we don't have much money with us, can you lend me a sum first? Qian Anjia, wait until Zhu Liang and the others arrive before returning it to you."

"settle down?"

Mu Yangling nodded and rambled: "I went to see the official residence assigned to us by the imperial court, and the navy yamen can break the city, how do you think the official residence in the backyard can be better? Pi, those two walls were not enough for them to demolish, so we wanted to buy a new house. Haoran said it would be better to find it near here. We are used to being neighbors, so it is better to be in the same place, so I let Feibai asked the two left and right, and coincidentally, Qian Yuanwai next door was willing to sell the house to us, but this is the money for buying the house..."

Mu Yangling smiled at him ingratiatingly, "We don't join forces."

Fan Zijin's pleasing smile appeared in front of his eyes when Qi Haoran borrowed money from him yesterday, and it gradually overlapped with Mu Yangling's smile. He couldn't help rolling his eyes, although he muttered, "There will be no more money in the future."

But he still gave Mu Yangling ten thousand taels of silver.

Mu Yangling hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Three thousand taels is enough."

"Take it, you can't replace all the furnishings in the room? Don't make Haoran and a few children wronged, I can still get this money."

Mu Yangling twitched the corners of his mouth, then why did you make such a painful expression?
