Tang Dynasty

Chapter 121: The tribute boat (below

Views:

When Kong Liluo, who was also named Fat Hole, got off the boat, there was still unspeakable excitement in his heart, together with the fiery longing and the continuous flushing red on his face;

After all, he had personally seen those rare treasures that were supposed to have been contributed to Emperor Serris; a few items that he just put on the case and looked at them may be worthy of the whole ship that he has worked so hard to ferry here. The maximum profit that the goods can earn.

Although the remaining reason was telling him that the other party only described a prospect or drew a pie for him; but it also opened up a brand new vision and a grand blueprint for the future prospects in front of him. After all, after he saw and touched these things with his own eyes, it was completely impossible to discard and forget them.

After all, if these treasures with the style of the Eastern Turk royal family can be sold through his hands, they will inevitably become the guests of the princes of those foreign countries.

If he can brave the wind and waves and take it back across the oceans to the city of seven hills on the bank of the strait, he will quickly become a popular topic figure in the upper echelon of the empire, and even become a popular darling in the wealthy and noble social occasions; But he also had new ambitions and ideas from this, why would he be willing to just be a reselling businessman

The previous experience has proved that he has always deceived himself and others and is unwilling to face the reality; without sufficient rights and resources as a support, even if he has more wealth, he will run the risk of being coveted and robbed by others. It's just a short-lived hapless one in the jokes.

But if money can be invested in the right path to power, it means unimaginable returns and guarantees. Although he is only a descendant of a Roman in overseas commercial colonies and trading points, it does not affect the historical stories he has learned since childhood.

He knows that Belliusa, a famous marshal in Roman history, began to invest in Justinian the Great, who was born in a peasant and soldier family, when he was an ordinary little nobleman and businessman. story. He initially relied on Emperor Justin, who was still a cavalry captain, to handle the spoils, and the relationship eventually became Justin's great hero who overthrew the Leo Dynasty and replaced the last Emperor Macchivinus on the throne.

Today, the Macedonian dynasty was founded in Constantinople, and the "Bulgar Butcher" and "Rome Revival" Emperor Bashir, who had just passed away two years ago, was also an imperial serf from a humble horseman, relying on the suppression of the Paul faction. Started from the war, with the help of a great businessman from the Khazanite Khanate, Joshua, overthrew the Phrygia dynasty and stole the throne of the alcoholic Mikhail III.

Although Bashir was born as a humble serf who didn’t know his parents, whether it is Armenians who are arguing about the restoration of the country, or the Slav leaders who are trying to get rid of the enslavement of the Khazarian Turks, they can’t wait to pursue him as the hero and hero of their own nation Hope, just because his mother is likely to be the spoils captured by the Imperial Army from the eastern border of the empire.

As the saying goes, "Greece was lovely, Rome was more expensive, if it is for the future, both can be thrown away...", although he is still a solitary body with nothing but sitting under the fence, but his imagination has soared to Bibo. Thousands of miles away.

Of course, Zhou Huaian didn't know that based on his performance, someone had begun to make up various plots of great prospects. He made new discoveries in the corners of the barns where geese and cockfighting were raised.

It was a dying little animal, curled up into a ball, only a hand holding a hand; the fur was messy and stained with blood and dirt, and it looked very dirty. Under the fluffy white fur were faint small round markings, round hairy ears and small round ears. The pointed and short mouth is like a mixture of a cat and a dog; but as Zhou Huaian, who has been in Africa, he recognized it at first glance. This animal that looks like a cat and a dog is actually a young hyena. Cub, still an obvious albino species;.

The ghost knows how those ancient overseas businessmen brought this thing from the African inland savannah to Guangzhou by sea. And the eunuchs on the ship just how big the heart is that they would regard this thing as the kind of round and squinted eyes in the proverb "worried for evil".

Because on the label of the cage, it was obviously far-fetched as a kind of auspicious animal in the scriptures of mountains and seas, and it was called "clouds". Known as Hai Qinghe Yan, one of the rare birds and strange animals that only appeared in the era of great governance when the world was peaceful and the saints came out in large numbers; it seems that it is to flatter and flatter, which is already one of the extreme methods.

Although he was covered in stains and skinny, and there were still unhealed wounds on his fart that were leaking abscesses, but after seeing people coming, this little thing that looked dying and curled up still stood up as much as possible. The fur and the shriveled tail, open mouth grinning and scratching claws, "Ka Ka Ka" made a threatening attack state; however, in Zhou Huaian's eyes, there was an indescribable cuteness and joy.

There was a sudden movement in his heart, and an uncontrollable thought suddenly occurred, and then he hesitated; although there was a record of uncle black domesticating this thing, he had personally seen those who seemed to be strayed by big dogs and used roughness on the outskirts of the city. The big hyena wearing a muzzle was pulled by the chain, and even the black uncle who sat on his back basking in the sun;

But for most of the creatures in the African savanna south of Sahara, this thing is a lion that dares to besiege a lonely lion, a prairie wolf pack that is more familiar than most people, and a cunning and ferocious upper level of the African ecological food chain. Even those black uncles have the probability and possibility of successful domestication only when they start with cubs.

Seeing the deterrence seemed to have no effect, this little thing grinned bitterly at the railing of the cage, only a pair of bright red eyeballs focused, but Zhou Huaian was always vigilant on the side of the cage. That kind of tenacious, stubborn, determined and cruel expression of rich expressions once again touched Zhou Huaian's heartstrings.

When I thought that this little thing might be the only one in this era that strayed into the middle-earth, and there are no other similar and ethnic groups that can reproduce and multiply; I just crossed and chaotically entered in this era of error and chaos. Like himself, he was a little melancholy and sad at the same time; at the same time, he made a certain determination.

After all, the people of the Tang Dynasty of this era are known for their ability to chase and tolerate various novels introduced from foreign land; for example, on the murals of Prince Zhanghuai’s tomb unearthed in later generations, there are nobles in the Tang Dynasty who took cheetahs and lynxes. And other large cats, as a vivid depiction of companions when going out hunting. In contrast, the wealthy people of later generations who played with Tibetan mastiffs, Caucasian dogs, or Dobermans were simply stunned.

"Perhaps now, you and I are the most unique and lonely ones..."

Zhou Huaian thought about this in his heart, squatting down to himself, and handing out a piece of freshly-baked snack meat from his sleeve. After biting off a small piece in his mouth, he swayed and threw it over. ; Suddenly I was so surprised that the little thing could jump up in the cage, but the iron cage that hits it actually shook a few times; it was really explosive and powerful.

Then, amidst its low roar and threatening sound, the nose wriggled and finally smelled the peculiar smell of dried meat, and then after hesitating and hesitating for a long time, driven by the hungry instinct to eat, it swallowed it a few times like lightning. Gobbling down and eat clean; Zhou Huai'an suddenly showed a smile on his face, this is not a good start;

This is a unique taming technique that he once learned from Africans who are good at tame wild animals since childhood; that is, in the repeated process of hungry feeding, using scent contaminants to make animal cubs gradually become habitual. An illusion, and finally regarded the owner as a common kind of the same kind, and even the elder and leader of the ethnic group.

Then when you drive and communicate, there are fewer obstacles and resistances. This trick is somewhat useful to many wild animals that use smell as a social sign, and it is obviously no exception at the moment.

Then, after Zhou Huaian had fed several throws like this in a row, the little thing stopped biting the railings, and shrank back to the farthest corner of the cage, and continued to stare at the round eyes with vigilance. Staring at him. Then I picked up this iron cage in my hand, which is a little souvenir and souvenir for this boarding.

"What should I call it..."

Feeling the shaking and shaking of his hands, he couldn't help muttering to himself again.

Since he decided to adopt this little thing as a kind of sustenance pet, he must give it a corresponding daily name; it’s just that Zhou Huai’an has always had a naming obstacle that makes people complain about it since he was a child; once raised a rabbit is a small Bai, raising a Brazilian tortoise is a little green, raising a calico cat is called Xiaohua; often crashes and misunderstandings with the nicknames of classmates.

Or call it "little white wolf", and then he seemed to see the big words "tomorrow update" and "throw whip cut off the flow" suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and he could not help faintly feeling that something was not auspicious. .

How about "Red Tiger", but suddenly a whole historical line appeared inexplicably and forced to respect the huge deflection force of a certain cause and effect, and immediately made him give up this choice; or change the name to "Gray Panda"? , A great malice called "giving off a girl and dying the whole family in pursuit of democracy" came and suppressed in his feelings;

Okay, let's call it bear wolf dog. This will be the name of this animal in the future to commemorate a cool writer who turned from a cannibal to a cat slave. This time, there was no sign of disharmony and evil thoughts in his feelings.

At this moment, a few important leaders in the rear camp were also gathered on the tribute boat under his notice; then, they became all kinds of yelling surprises. Huhe sighed, roared wildly.

"My mother is good..."

"I've seen such a big sea ship for the first time in my life..."

"I'm afraid that the whole camp should be packed in..."

"Is this silk cloth? Why is it so beautiful..."

"It feels like a lady's skin..."

"How does this color sway like flowing water..."

"What the hell is this? It's bitter, spicy, and choking. It's so good that the jar and the cloth are so good..."

"Why are the rice grains green and red? Is it because it is specially dyed for color, is it still something to eat?"

"What's the use of big bundles of rotten branches there? Why are they still wrapped in silk..."

"Why there are many flowers and plants, but unfortunately they are not fragrant, and I can't eat them..."

"Golden, there are so many weird looks of real gold"

"Let me bite first... Whoops,"

"It's not those silly copper goods..."

"Xu Er Stirrup once got a big finger belly, but he stays close to his body day and night, so he can't wait to swallow it in his belly..."

"This makes people spend a few lifetimes in the earth, and they can't make money..."

"This ingot, I'm afraid it will be a good outfit..."

"So there are broken stones and gravel, hidden in boxes..."

"Could it be that it is used to gain weight to deceive..." (End of this chapter)
