When Kong neatly disembarked, alias Fat Kong, was still the churning emotions in his heart, and the continuous flush of fiery longing on his face;

After all, he had seen with his own eyes the treasures that should have been given to Emperor Seris; Any few things he looked at on the case might be worth the maximum profit he could make from a whole shipload of goods that he had worked so hard to cross.

Although the remnants of his reason were telling him that the other party had only described a foreground or a pie for him; But it also opened up a new horizon and a grand blueprint for future prospects in front of him. After all, it is completely impossible for him to let go of these things and forget them after he has seen and touched them with his own eyes.

After all, if these treasures with the royal style of the Eastern Soil can be sold by him, they will inevitably become the guests of the princes of those foreign countries.

If he can brave the wind and waves and bring him back to the city of seven hills on the shore of the strait, he will quickly become a popular topic in the upper echelons of the empire, and even become a popular favorite in the social occasions of wealthy dignitaries; But he also had new ambitions and ideas, why he was willing to just be a businessman who resold and resold him.

The previous encounters have proved the reality that he has been deceiving himself and is unwilling to face; Without sufficient power and resources to support it, even if you have more wealth, you will take the risk of being coveted and forcibly seized, which is just a flash in the pan in the laughter of others.

But if money can be invested in the right path to power, it means unimaginable returns and security. Although he was only a descendant of the Romans in overseas commercial colonies and trading posts, it did not affect the historical stories he had learned from childhood.

He knew that Peleliusa, 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 nobleman and merchant in his early years, and even did not hesitate to be his brother-in-law and finally became famous in the world. He initially relied on the spoils of war for Emperor Justinian, who was still a cavalry squad leader, and eventually became a major contributor to Justinian's overthrow of the Leo dynasty and the replacement of the last emperor Machivinus on the throne.

And now the Macedonian dynasty was founded in Constantinople, and Emperor Bashir, the "Butcher of Bolgar" and "Revivalist of Rome" who died just two years ago, was also an imperial serf from a humble groom; Rising from the war to quell the Paulicians, he overthrew the Phrygian dynasty with the help of Joshua, a great merchant from the Khazar Khanate, and stole the throne of Michael III, an alcoholic.

Although Bashir was only a lowly serf who did not know his parents, both the Armenians who were fighting for the restoration of their country and the Slavic chiefs who were trying to free themselves from the slavery of the Khazar Turks could not wait to posthumously regard him as a hero and hope of their own people, simply because his mother was likely to be captured by the imperial army from the eastern frontier of the empire.

As the saying goes, "Greece was lovely, Rome was more expensive, if it is for the future, both can be thrown." Although he is still alone with nothing and relying on his snort, his imagination has soared thousands of miles away.

Of course, Zhou Huai'an didn't know that someone had begun to make up all kinds of great future plots based on his performance, and he made new discoveries in the corners of the barns where geese and cockfights were raised.

It was a dying little animal, curled up in a ball and only the size of his hands; The fur was messy and stained with blood and dirt, and under the shaggy white fur were faintly round markings, round ears and a pointed, short mouth, like some kind of cat and dog mixture; But Zhou Huai'an, who had spent time in Africa, recognized it at first sight, and this cat-like and dog-like animal was actually a hyena cub, or an obvious albino species;

The devil knows how those ancient overseas merchants brought this thing from the inland savannah of Africa to Canton by sea. And how big the hearts of those eunuchs on the ship are that they will regard this thing as the kind of embarrassment with round and squinting eyes in the common saying "embarrassment is treachery".

Because on the label of the cage, it is obviously far-fetched as some kind of auspicious animal in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and it is called "cloud embarrassment". It is known as one of the rare birds and beasts that will appear in the world of Haiqing Heyan, the world of the world is peaceful and the saints are born in large numbers; It seems that it is just to flatter the sycophants, and it is already one of the means to do everything.

Although it was covered with stains and skinny, and there were abscesses coming out of the bite wounds on the hairy fart, after seeing the person coming, this little thing that looked like it was dying and curled up in a clump still raised its fur and shriveled tail as much as possible, and opened its mouth and grinned and scratched its claws with a "click" sound, making a threatening attack; However, in Zhou Huai'an's opinion, there is an indescribable sense of cuteness and joy.

His heart suddenly moved, and suddenly an uncontrollable thought arose, and then he hesitated again; Although there were records of Uncle Black domesticating this thing, he had personally seen those Uncle Black who seemed to be walking on a big dog, pulling a big hyena with a thick iron chain on the outskirts of the city, and even riding on his back to bask in the sun;

But for most of the creatures in the savannahs of sub-Saharan Africa, this thing is a lone lion that dares to besiege a lone lion, a more familiar steppe wolf pack than most people know, and a cunning and ferocious upper part of the African ecological food chain. Even those black uncles only have the probability and possibility of successful domestication if they start from cubs.

Seeing that the deterrence seemed to have no effect, the little thing grinned and bit the cage railing again, just the focus of a pair of bright red eyes, but it was always vigilant against Zhou Huai'an on the edge of the cage. The rich expression of tenacity, stubbornness, perseverance and cruelty touched Zhou Huai'an's heartstrings again.

The thought of this little thing may be the only one that has strayed into the land of Middle-earth in this age, and there is no other kind and race to reproduce; Just like the self who crossed alone and entered this era of mistakes and chaos, he suddenly felt a faint melancholy and relatives who were sympathetic to the same disease; At the same time, he suddenly made up his mind.

After all, the Tang people of this era were known for being good at chasing and accommodating, and all kinds of novelties introduced from other regions; For example, on the murals of Prince Zhanghuai's tomb unearthed and excavated in later generations, there are vivid depictions of Tang Dynasty nobles taking large cats such as cheetahs and lynxes as companions when they go out on safaris. In contrast, the rich men who played with Tibetan mastiffs or Caucasian dogs, or Dobermans in later generations simply went home.

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

Zhou Huai'an thought so in his heart, while squatting down to himself, handed out a freshly baked snack meat strip from his sleeve pocket, put it in his mouth and bit off a small piece, and then shook the void and threw it over; Suddenly the little thing was so startled that it was able to jump up in the cage, and the iron cage that hit it shook several times; It's so explosive and energetic.

Then, in its low roar and threat, its nose wriggled and finally smelled the peculiar smell of jerky, and then after hesitation and hesitation for a while, it was driven by the instinct of hunger to eat, and it took a few bites of lightning and devoured it cleanly; Zhou Huai'an suddenly showed a smile on his face, this is a good start;

This is a unique domestication technique he once learned from Africans who were good at taming wild animals from a young age; It is in the repetitive process of starvation feeding that the animal cubs are gradually habitually delusional by means of smell contamination, and finally regard the owner as a commonplace fellow, and even the elders and leaders of the group.

And then drive and communicate, there is a lot less hindrance and resistance. This trick is somewhat useful for many wild animals that use scent as a social identifier, and it is obviously no exception right now.

Then, after Zhou Huai'an concocted several throws and fed several in a row, the little thing stopped biting the railing, but shrank back into the farthest corner of the cage, and continued to stare at him vigilantly with round eyes. Then I picked up this iron cage, which can be regarded as a little souvenir and souvenir of this ship.

"What's the name?"

Feeling the swaying of the constant struggle in his hands, he couldn't help but mumble to himself again.

Since it has been decided to adopt this little thing as some kind of pet for sustenance, it is also necessary to give a corresponding daily call name; It's just that Zhou Huai'an has always had a naming obstacle that makes people complain since he was a child; Once raised a rabbit is Xiaobai, raising a Brazilian turtle is Xiaolu, raising a variegated cat is called Xiaohua; There have been many collisions and misunderstandings with the nicknames of classmates.

If it weren't called "Little White Wolf", then he seemed to see the big words "Tomorrow's Update" and "Whip Breaker" that suddenly popped out of thin air, and he couldn't help but feel a little unlucky.

If it wasn't called "Red Tiger", but inexplicably a whole line of history suddenly appeared and forced to respect a huge deflection force of a certain cause and effect, which suddenly made him give up this choice; Or "Grizzly Panda" instead? , a certain kind of great malice called "sending a daughter to death and the whole family in pursuit of democracy" came and suppressed in his feelings;

Okay, let's call it the Bear Wolf Dog, which will be the name of this animal in the future, in honor of a cool writer who turned from a man-eating demon to a cat slave. This time, there were no signs of dissonance or evil thoughts in his senses.

At this moment, several leaders of the rear camp who had a certain weight also gathered on this tribute ship under his notice; Then, it became all kinds of shouting exclamations and exclamations, random roars.

"Mother's goodness."

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

"I'm afraid I won't put the whole battalion in it."

"Is this silk, why is it so beautiful."

"It's like a girl's skin."

"This color is like flowing water."

"What kind of thing is this, bitter and spicy and choking, it's really blind to be so good jars and cloths."

"Why is this rice grain green and red, is it specially dyed, is it still something for people to eat?"

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

"There are still many flowers and plants, but unfortunately they are not fragrant and cannot be eaten."

"Eh, there's a lot of weird-looking real gold."

"Let me bite first... Oops,"

"It's not those deceitful coppers."

"Xu Er's stirrup has ever made a piece of his belly, but he is close to his body day and night, and he can't wait to swallow it in his stomach."

"This makes people work hard to dig for a few lifetimes, and they can't earn it."

"I'm afraid this ingot can be used to get the next line.。。。

"There are broken stones and gravel to hide in the box."

"Could it be that it is used to gain weight and deceive people."
