"But I dare say that this price alone is several times higher than the profit he gets! And the price of the goods purchased by us, he knows it clearly, but we don't know how much it sells, and what is the profit of the goods flowing out of here, it is not his final say! ”

"Well, doesn't that mean that he first made a sum of money from you to sell the goods, and then after he sold them, he had to share half of the profits? Is this still a partner? Zhao Hu said in surprise. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Partner? Bah! It sounds good, even we have to give cash to get the goods! It's not bullying us that we don't have sea ships and no supply of goods! That guy must not be the only one of our sales lines, otherwise he wouldn't dare treat us like this! Kate said angrily.

Zhao Hu thought for a moment, and suddenly asked Nangong Dun, "Do you two know the source of goods on the Southeast Peninsula?" ”

As soon as Zhao Hu's words came out, the shrewd Peter immediately frowned, and he realized that Zhao Hu was ready to change partners.

Of course, Zhao Hu would not be so arrogant that he went to the Freedom Alliance to find the source of goods, that would be tantamount to death, not that he would be discovered by the Freedom Alliance, but that it would be impossible to bypass the land snake of the Southeast Peninsula.

The vast majority of the coastal forces on the southeast peninsula live on smuggling, and if they want to directly smuggle the trade without going through the exploitation of these local snakes, they will definitely send warships to besiege the people who break their jobs.

Of course, it's different if you have a strong fleet as a backer, but take the fleet to the enemy country to buy goods? Idiots don't do that. Therefore, Zhao Hu knows very well that this smuggling activity cannot abandon the Southeast Peninsula at all, but it is possible to change a partner.

Nangong Dun and Mo De hurriedly knelt down and said, "I'm sorry, my lord, the scope of activities of my subordinates is in Mingyue City, and the sources of goods near Mingyue City are all controlled by the Mingyue City Lord. If the adult needs it, the subordinates are willing to inquire about the source of goods in other places for the adult. ”

Peter sighed, he was hoping to have a new source of goods just now, and it seemed that he was still being exploited by that guy.

But these two guys are active in Bright Moon City? Are they rogues? How do you look at them, they seem to be Zhao Hu's subordinates? It is impossible for the newly captured rogues to be loyal to Zhao Hu so quickly, right?

Kate, who understood the meaning of Zhao Hu's question, suddenly clapped her hands and said, "I said Brother Zhao Hu, don't you have more than eighty sea ships?" In this way, we can directly take the goods, and after selling them, we don't have to give half of the profits to that guy! ”

These words immediately made the cranky Peter's eyes light up, although he would definitely raise the price if he took the goods directly, but he didn't have to share half of the profits in vain, it was worth thinking about it, and he couldn't help but immediately nodded to Zhao Hu in agreement.

Zhao Hu said with a smile: "Let's wait for the discussion with the partners before deciding, since the other party will come in two days, then we don't want to waste these two days, ask the provincial governor to send someone to dispatch a batch of materials to build a shipyard, of course, shipbuilding tools and timber also need to be bothered by adults." As for the funds, the lower official will let the lower official's butler Ou Di pay for it. ”

Although Ou Di wanted to participate in the next smuggling negotiations, he thought that he would have to go to the imperial capital to supplement the personal guards and get a blank personal guard certificate, and also to test whether Zhao Hu could get through, there were many things, and with Peter, the local snake, I believed that the adults would not be able to suffer, so they willingly accepted the order.

When Peter repeatedly said that there was no problem and instructed his cronies, Kate interjected: "The guards and workers on the road, can I transfer a brigade to help?" ”

Peterkate's words were taken aback, and he hurriedly said, "Transfer a brigade? Do you want the whole world to know our details? ”

Kate obviously realized her mistake, but she was embarrassed to think that she didn't help and pay dividends in the future, so she couldn't help asking, "Then how many people should I transfer?" ”

Zhao Hu was also taken aback, more than 10,000 people ran over, he couldn't afford to raise it in such a small place, and the strength of a brigade and regiment gathered here would definitely attract the attention of the Freedom Alliance and the Southeast Peninsula, and it would be a big trouble to provoke a war at that time, so he hurriedly shook his hand and said: "There is no need to transfer people, after all, the random transfer of the garrison division will attract attention." ”

Peter knew Kate's thoughts, but partnering with Kate only wanted him to be the head of the garrison division, and he didn't need him to do anything, so he said angrily: "Your role is to deter and prevent the local small magnates from attacking our ideas!" ”

What else did Kate want to say, but at this moment, Zhao Hu also understood what Kate meant, and couldn't help laughing: "It's better like this, can the division commander provide a batch of standard weapons and war horses for the militia of the lower officials?" Because in the next year, the militia of the lower officials will wear out a large number of equipment. ”

"I can only provide a hundred war horses at most, but I dare to pack a ticket for weapons, that is, you can give as many as you want." Kate laughed happily as he realized that he was not eating white food.

In Zhao Hu's thanks, Ou Di secretly pouted.

This is the difference between the central and local governments, a division commander can only provide a hundred war horses, while in the imperial capital camp, a small logistics officer can sell hundreds of war horses privately. It seems that this time I have to buy a batch of his war horses to go to the emperor, alas, I knew that this was the case, and I would not have sold so many horses from the prairie in the first place.

After the discussion was settled, everyone immediately got busy, Ou Di took people to carry a large amount of gold coins, and went to the provincial capital to shop on a large scale, as for the 10,000 gold coins borrowed from Peter last time, they had already been waived by Peter with a big wave of his hand.

With Peter, the provincial governor, coming forward, the supplies were easily procured, and then he rushed back under the escort of Kate's personal guards, and Oudi, who was busy with these, of course ran to the imperial capital as soon as possible.

He knew very well that when he came back, Leader Zhao Hu would be enough to shock himself.

Of course, Nangong Dun and Maude also took their cronies and sailed to the Southeast Peninsula by boat, Maude's task was to find out information and buy craftsmen, and when Nangong Dun had these tasks at the same time, he also needed to rush back to the family to report the situation, as for how the family decided, it was still unknown.

Sun Jie, the personal guard in charge of intelligence, had to follow Zhou Wen and a group of militiamen to drive a boat with a group of militiamen to reward the militia.

Liu Bin, a designer and cartographer, began to design a shipyard while continuing to build additional docks with the pro-guard militia with prisoners.

Locke and Luo Fei began to train the militia, and looking at their appearance, the battle guards were all wiped out, which brought them a big blow.

The civil guards commanded the militia to take the prisoners and began to cultivate the fields and build the towns, and everything went according to the plan anyway. 、

As for the black wolf that has no mission, I don't know what it is doing these days, anyway, it is often nowhere to be seen, even during meal time.

But no one worries about it, after all, the black wolf the size of a foal is invincible in this mountain forest.

Two days passed quickly, Zhao Huling except for an extra wheat field under cultivation, a few more wooden houses on the wharf, and a more solid ground in the town, there was no change, after all, it was only two days now, and I am afraid that Ou Di had only arrived in the provincial capital.

With so many workers dispatched, only Maud was the first to have news back.

In the Lord's Mansion, a fierce-looking man knelt in front of Zhao Hu and said with a somewhat flattering expression: "My lord, the leader of Maude sent the villain back to report to the lord, he recruited three shipwrights in the territory of Mingyue City, because the lord strictly ordered not to recruit the shipwrights of the Lord of Mingyue City, so these three shipwrights are all retired masters of private shipyards.

"The leader said that although they are old, their skills are not bad, and he hopes that the adults will be satisfied. Now that the leader has left Bright Moon City, he continues to recruit shipwrights for the adults. ”

"Just these three shipwrights? Are the others their dependents? Zhao Hu looked at the three old men with gray hair and old faces kneeling behind the man, and behind them were each kneeling five or six men and women, including a young baby.

Peter and Kate, who were sitting on the side, frowned, what is the old guy doing here? If it weren't for the fact that this was Zhao Hu's territory, it wouldn't be their turn to be troublesome, and they would have scolded that man a long time ago.

"Yes, sir. Haven't you seen an adult yet? The man shouted at the crowd behind him.

"See the Lord ......" Hearing this, the man immediately coughed, causing them to immediately change their words: "See your Excellency." ”

The three old men and their families had apparently been reminded, and they were not accustomed to such a title, because according to the custom of the Southeastern Peninsula, the person who recruited them was their lord.

"What are you good at?" Zhao Hu asked.

"My lord, old ...... Old decay is good at laying keels. ”

"Old man is good at making sails."

"Old decay is good at making pulp rudders." The three old men replied in order.

Kate also muttered with disdain: "Look at your old bones, you can't even hold an axe, and you're good at it." ”

And Peter was shocked, damn, these three old guys have a set! They are the most indispensable skills for building a ship.

Although Zhao Hu didn't know the skills of shipbuilding, he didn't understand that he didn't have some ability, and Maude didn't dare to send them here, and Zhao Hu didn't care about their age, after all, although they couldn't get on the horse in person, they could teach their disciples, so Zhao Hu nodded with satisfaction: "What is the monthly salary that Maude promised you?" ”

The three old men blushed and said a little embarrassedly, "Lord Maude promised us three times the monthly salary before. ”

"Three? What was your previous monthly salary? Zhao Hu continued to ask.

"One hundred and fifty copper coins."

The three old men were a little nervous, their wages were very high in the Southeast Peninsula, so they were a little afraid that Zhao Hu would not be able to pay three times the price.
