King Cuan Gui was eating, but he had never put his thoughts on food. When he saw Zhang Xiaobao helping his younger brothers and sisters cut the meat, and the little guys were looking for a place to eat, he leaned in front of Zhang Xiaobao.
"Little treasure, how many more days will you stay here?"
"About five days, waiting for Zhenla's response, five days is enough, just use this time to check the dam and the artificial river. When we leave, there will be two hundred people left to help you. To govern localities, there are corresponding weapons and ammunition.
Don't take the initiative to provoke the tribes whose surname is Meng, and induce them to take the initiative to attack, so you can use our hand to kill people. The people we stayed behind will take the initiative to contact them. You send someone to help translate their words and you want to provoke them. You know the consequences. "
Zhang Xiaobao gave an approximate time and then warned Cuangui Wang.
Cuan Gui Wang repeatedly agreed, and he was in a good mood. He knew that even if he got in touch, the Meng surnamed tribe would not be able to cooperate as much as his own. It would take time.
Taking advantage of this time, he was able to speed up the development of the Cuan clan. When the Meng surname really cooperates, his side has already developed. I don't need to attack you. I just look at your life better than me.
The king of Cuan Gui even came up with a strategy. The Mongolian surnamed cattle, sheep and Maduo, first sold the crops they planted to each other at a low price, in exchange for their livestock, and then bred vigorously, and waited a few years. , Meng surname no longer has any advantages.
Learning from Xiaobao, using economic means to attack, just as relieved of his anger and thinking, Cuangui Wang couldn't help but laugh.
Zhang Xiaobao glanced at him, and didn't ask him what he was thinking, just don't mess with me anyway.
The bonfire party ends when the sun goes down, so this evening can be regarded as an evening party.
Zhang Xiaobao and others left with a lot of smoked meat. Many locals were drunk, the wine was too strong, and they were too relaxing. Many women were helped back to the village.
The bonfire was extinguished, but the fire of hope rose in the hearts of the people of the tribe, singing and dancing, unwilling to stop.
…
Five days passed quickly.
There was news from the junction of Zhenla that people had arrived, and there were not too many guards.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan left two hundred people behind, told them their general plan of action in the future, and pointed out the location of the salt mine. After that, they packed up and set off to the west.
The locals sent it out for more than 20 miles, then watched the brigade disappear and turned back to the stockade.
In the past few days, they have learned a lot of practical knowledge from the team of Zhang Wang's family. They have watched the people of Zhang Wang's family use local bamboo, wood, grass, and leather to make various tools that are more convenient to use. Participate in the production later, you can use it later.
Therefore, they trust Zhang Wang's family very much, and each other is definitely a good person.
Cuan Moa complained to Fan Fan, saying that when their caravan came, they probably had a lot of tools, but they didn't teach him.
Fan Fan admitted that they had an agreement with the other caravans that they had come over, and that everyone could not help the tribe people too much, so as not to be learned by others, and they lacked the means of making money.
While apologizing to Cuan Moa, he said the root cause, that is, the Zhang Wang family is sufficiently atmospheric and the technology they master is far more than this. The more you know, the more you know how difficult the technology is. At the same time, right? Those who understand technology are more generous.
Fan Fan apologized, but didn't regret it. He told Cuan Mo'a, we came back then and you didn't return to Datang, so why teach you skills? Xiaobao and Juanjuan teach you techniques, but they will not teach you India and eating too much. Datang’s blockade of technology is very strict. If one day Xiaobao and Juanjuan teach the enemy technology when the enemy is not surrendered, it will definitely be. trap.
"So, don't think that they are kind and amiable, who scored the right. When Xiaobao left, he promised me to develop here and gave me the loan. We need to get closer."
Fan Fan also talked about cooperation. He plans to raise fish and ornamental fish. He wants to buy fry at a high price and transport it to Dianchi Lake to see if the fry will produce new mutations and get more beautiful fish in a special environment.
But he can't always stare here, he needs the help of assured locals.
"How to divide the money?" Cuan Moah could understand the technical blockade of his side by Fan Fan and other caravans, but now he also talks about the problem of money. Before Xiaobao left, he told himself that human resources are precious, that is Even if people who work can't exchange things, they still get a lot of money if they do things.
"Human, it’s horrible as soon as you change your mind. It’s nineteen dollars. In the future, I will get nine points and you will get one point. I have to ship the ornamental fish first. The fish is very precious and I promise to die. Although the interest on the loan is not good, I still have to hold down the funds, and the bank itself also generates profits.
Then I have to bear the loss of the fish that died unexpectedly when I was raising it here. If the mutated fish becomes more ugly, I will continue to lose. Even if it succeeds, I will inevitably have to ship it back and die again to open up the market, and there will be advertising costs.
Anyway, I spend a lot of money. You are just helping to take care of it. The ratio of nineteen is not low anymore. If you normally trade with you, I also get nine times the profit. "
Fan Fan made a "one" and another "nine", and said to Cuan Mo'a.
When Cuan Mo first heard about 19 points, he wanted to raise the price, but after listening to Fan Fan's analysis, the other party absolutely made sense, and had to agree: "Okay, 19 points."
"There is also a plan to raise marine fish in fresh water. The Yangtze River knows that many fish in the sea will swim over, and some fish in the Yangtze River will swim in the sea. I brought a boat from there and survived in the pond. Circle a place and see if you can feed it. It's still nineteen points."
Fan Fan put forward another idea.
Cuan Moah still agreed, but he couldn't think of a better way. Suddenly he thought of a question and asked: "How much do you sell, how do I know? And how much you spend, I also don't know, you say 19 points, just say the number when the time comes, what should I do?"
"Brother Mo, you still can't believe me?" Fan Fan looked at Cuan Mo with a sad look.
Cuan Mo A smiled embarrassedly: "Believe, believe you, you can say as much as you want. When that happens, I will send someone to find Xiaobao. Didn't I mean that any of their sales can be used as a contact point? I will let Xiaobao again I give you a guarantee."
Fan Fan was stunned, blinked his eyes, and nodded: "Okay, look for it, and wait for other businessmen to come over. When you talk about various cooperation with them, remember to say what you asked for Xiaobao at the end. I cannot be the only one who suffers."
Cuan Mo smiled slyly, and sure enough, it was very useful to mention finding Xiaobao.
…
When Cuan Mo'a and Fan Fan mentioned places with marine fish, many fishermen were wondering at this time.
They came out of Fuzhou and fished around several small islands and reefs nearby. There was a lighthouse on the island, and their boat was not big, so they didn't dare to go too far. If you have a big boat, you can go to the far sea to catch fish that are rare in the offshore waters and sell them for more money.
You can even go to Liuqiu Island and bring goods to exchange with the locals. The locals also fish. They go by empty boat and bring some goods that are not on the island. When they come back, they will be able to fill a boat with fish.
If you are lucky, you can even get leather from other islands.
And there is no need to worry about people snatching on the island. A large number of merchants have negotiated with the tribes on the island before, letting the Datang gunboat show off their strength, and then give benefits, and the two sides exchange normally.
There are even Datang merchants who arrange people to be stationed on the island in rotation, acting as a bridge of communication. There are also wealthy people who choose a good place to build a house on it, and live for ten and a half months when they are idle.
People on the island like silk and vegetable oil. They also like to eat canned food, smoked chicken, roast duck, etc. If they cook a pot of wontons in the past, they may also get fish and iron ore as gifts.
What's more interesting is that some merchants brought the seeds over and asked the people on the island to help them plant them. After the harvest, the people on the island could choose part of the things they planted as rewards, or exchange them for other things.
The people on the small fishing boats have nothing to do with this. If they take risks, they can actually pass, but it is not worth it.
What made them wonder in recent days is that the number of Datang escort ships around them has increased significantly. Usually, there is an armed boat three times the size of their fishing boat in a fishing area. There are usually a dozen people on board, with long guns.
From the first two days, there are two escort ships in each area. It can be clearly seen that machine guns are mounted on the ships, and at the same time, a patrol ship is seen cruising by from time to time.
The most puzzling thing is that there is a hot air balloon flying in the sky. Someone is looking at the sea with a binoculars. Occasionally, due to altitude, they find that the water in a certain place is different from other places, and some characters written in pencil will be dropped. Oiled paper.
If a fishing boat catches it from the sea, it says in which direction a large school of fish will appear, and the fishermen can follow their instructions to catch the fish in the past, which is very convenient.
But the fishermen definitely don’t think that the hot air balloon in the sky is here to help them find fish. It is too extravagant, and they can always see people on the hot air balloon throwing a floating object in the water and then using a gun on it. Fighting is obviously training.
The fishermen were a little nervous, but not afraid. As long as the court did not stop them from coming out to fish, it showed that the court had a way to protect themselves. If something serious happened, they would probably not let go to sea and hide first.
Today, a group of fishing boats coming out of Fuzhou were once again guided by people on the hot air balloon. To the southeast, about ten miles, the light reflected by the seawater is abnormal. You can try to check it out.
The fishermen immediately became excited. Every time they said that, there were schools of fish in the past, so the fleet adjusted its direction and headed over there, and the hot air balloon followed in the sky.
Sure enough, when they arrived, the fishermen found that there were a lot of fish, so they just cast the Internet cafes.
When he was catching and happy, a fisherman raised his head to look at the hot air balloon. He suddenly found that the balloon was getting smaller and its height was dropping. He hurriedly shouted: "Don't worry about the fish, it's down. The air is leaking, right? Save people. ."
A group of fishing boats adjusted their directions, estimated the landing point of the hot air balloon, and struggling to row past.
With more than a hundred meters away, the hot air balloon finally entered the sea. After a while, the heads of four people were exposed. They swam toward the fishing boat, and the two patrolling boats also approached.
"Brother, what's the matter?" The man on the boat asked with concern when the four people were pulled up.
"I don't know where I missed it, it fell off, bad luck! Everything went into the sea. After I went back, I told them to design the hanging blue. It's okay."
A person explained helplessly.
"Brother, are you here to find fish for us?" another person asked.
"What kind of fish? By the way, we are looking for a lot of cannibalistic boats, but we didn't find them elsewhere. We suspect that they are in the Liuqiu area, so we need to strengthen patrols in Quanzhou and here. Not to mention, we will be transferred to the escort boat. You continue to fish."
The man on the hot air balloon wiped the sea water off his face and said depressed.
