In the living room of the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Ning looked at the information handed to him by Li Zhang, his face was full of incredulous expressions, he never expected that his unsuccessful son would really build a port, although the other party was just a group of uncivilized natives, but it was also a lot of credit.

"That's the way it is, you know Zhou Liang's temperament better than anyone else, instead of letting him stay in the Great Song Dynasty and causing trouble, it's better to let him go outside and toss him as much as he wants!" Li Zhang said with a smile.

"Is it ~, or Dingbei Hou is thoughtful, but what is the imperial court doing when he lays down a port in Nanyang, which is a land of barbarians, miasma and poisonous plagues are rampant, and there are cannibalistic natives, and I haven't heard that the imperial court has any plans to use troops in Nanyang?" Zhou Liang finally suddenly asked with some doubts.

"Don't hide it from General Zhou, the affairs of Nanyang are still confidential, originally only His Majesty and I knew, and some time ago, the independence of the navy from the naval division was also related to Nanyang, but now it is inconvenient for the imperial court to send troops directly, so I organized some people privately, Zhou Liang is mainly responsible for the armed forces, and there are other people who cooperate with him." Li Zhang seemed to hesitate for a moment at this time, and then told the story of Nanyang.

General Zhou was also shocked when he heard that the matter of Nanyang was confidential, but then he became excited, such a confidential matter Li Zhangken told himself, which was enough to show his trust in himself, which made him feel flattered for a while.

"In addition~" Li Zhang suddenly paused at this time, and then smiled mysteriously, "General Zhou, are you interested in partnering with me in a business?" ”

"Business?" Zhou Ning was still a little uncomfortable with Li Zhang's jumping thinking, and he was stunned at this time and didn't know how to answer.

"Yes, Zhou Liang and their occupation of the port in the South Seas is only the first step, and the imperial court will also encourage merchants to go to sea to do business, but you also know that there are many dangers at sea, so someone must set an example for them, and I happen to be interested in maritime trade, but it is not interesting for me to do this kind of business myself, so I want to pull a few people to partner." Li Zhang said again with a smile at this time.

Although the sea trade of the Great Song Dynasty was prosperous, it was only compared with the previous dynasty, and compared with the real sea trade of the later generations, the sea trade of the Great Song Dynasty was still very primitive, and the people involved were limited to the southern coast, far from meeting Li Zhang's requirements, so in order to promote the development of the Great Song Dynasty sea trade, he could only do it himself.

"Great, thanks to Dingbeihou's affordability, our Zhou family will definitely help!" Zhou Ning almost didn't hesitate to hear Li Zhang's words, and agreed loudly.

"Huh? I haven't said what exactly I mean. Li Zhang was also stunned when he heard this, there are many kinds of sea trade, in order to persuade the Zhou family to participate, he also formulated a feasible business plan before, but he didn't expect that he would agree to it at all.

"Haha~, who in the whole capital doesn't know that Dingbei Hou has a finger that turns stones into gold, as long as it is your business, there is no one who is not profitable, although I don't care about the family's business, but with my understanding of the eldest brother, he will definitely agree!" Zhou Ning laughed and replied.

Li Zhang's ability to accumulate wealth has long been known in the capital, not to mention anything else, just a money bank makes him rich and rival the country, of course, what is even more rare is that Li Zhang is not greedy for money at all, and directly transferred the money bank to the imperial court, plus Li Zhang is His Majesty's cousin, doing business with this kind of person is simply a sure profit, so Zhou Ning naturally has no reason to refuse.

Since Zhou Ning agreed so readily, Li Zhang also saved a lot of tongues, and Zhou Ning was also eager to find his eldest brother, so he immediately settled this business, but Li Zhang felt that he was in a bit of a hurry, so he still had to find a separate time to discuss it carefully in the future, and he was also going to pull some more people in.

Although Li Zhang was interested in sea trade, the real purpose of his proposal to do sea trade business with the nobles of the Zhou family was not to make money, but to set an example for others, as he just said, if they waited until the first batch of nobles who did sea trade business made a lot of money, then they would definitely attract other nobles to join, thus triggering the advent of the real age of sailing.

In the next few days, Li Zhang went to visit several other nobles who had good friendships, and soon finalized the matter of cooperating with the sea trade business, their gang was powerful and powerful, and it was easy to do business, and soon each family sent a competent steward, and then went to the south with the money, ready to buy a batch of ships first, and then recruit some experienced boatmen, as for the goods are the simplest, after all, they have a lot of industries under their names, whether it is tea, silk, porcelain, it is easy to make up a batch.

Li Zhang doesn't have to worry about business matters at all, because the family's property has always been managed by Qingori, and the other nobles are almost the same, the male protagonist is outside the female protagonist, and the so-called internal does not only refer to the family, but also various industries in the family, so after Li Zhang, the head of the family, made a decision, the rest of the things were handed over to the hostess of each family, and in the gathering of some female dependents, one business after another was negotiated.

Early this morning, Li Zhang also asked for leave from the medical school, because he got the news in advance that Lu Wu and the others had finally returned from Yanyun, and they would arrive in the capital today, so Li Zhang also went out of the city to greet him in person.

Li Zhang walked out of the city for several miles, and Lu Wu didn't let him wait for a long time, and soon saw a team of people and horses coming, led by Lu Wu who was riding on a horse, although he was old, but his body was still strong, and the waist board on the horse was also straight, and he felt like he was old and strong.

Behind Lu Wu, there are old knives and blind people, as well as some of Lu Wu's old brothers, but many of them are not as strong as Lu Wu, and they can only sit in the carriage at this time, but their spirits are quite high.

"Uncle Wu, you're finally willing to come back!" Li Zhang immediately shouted very happily when he saw Lu Wu, and Lu Wu also laughed when he saw him, and then Lao Dao and others also stepped forward to say a few words to Li Zhang.

In order to welcome Lu Wu and their return, Li Zhang also deliberately set up a banquet in Huiwei Zhai to wash the dust of Lu Wu's old buddies, but Lu Wu and the others were old, and Li Zhang didn't dare to let these old men drink too much wine, in case something went wrong, he couldn't explain it to the families of these people.

Drinking until it was getting late, Li Zhang helped Lu Wu, who was a little drunk, to return home, but what he didn't expect was that he found something wrong as soon as he arrived at home, because there were many guards at home, and then someone reported to him that the Empress Dowager Li of Cixiao Temple came to her house at this time.
