Besides, of course, there is no more support for the decision of Zuo Ling.

In fact, the pharmaceutical sector has always been Zuo Ling's own hard work, and he has not interfered much, he just provided prescriptions, provided capital, and of course robbed a street for Zuo Ling, no matter how much there is, there will be no more.

The matter of the sixth guard of Jinyi consumed all his energy, he didn't have the heart to care about Zuo Ling's business at all, and he didn't have any ambition in this area, and he was originally doing Chinese patent medicine specifically for Zuo Ling.

Zuo Ling is also the same as his training, devoting all his energy to pharmaceutical sales, constantly conquering cities in various markets, step by step. Now the market in the six northern provinces has been covered with her Chinese patent medicines, and they are always in short supply, mainly because the supply of medicinal materials is always cut off, which cannot meet the needs of large-scale pharmaceuticals.

She and besides, she still split the account in half, but she never gave a tael of silver, and besides, half of it was used for investment. Of course hers is the same.

Besides, he always smiled at this, he didn't want to share the silver from Zuo Ling at all, although he made up tens of thousands of taels of silver in the sixth guard of Jinyi, he took it out of his pocket, and Zuo Ling's profits only wiped out this part of the deficit on the books.

The meat is rotten in the pot, anyway, Zuo Ling's money is also the family's money, and he is not in a hurry to use this piece of money.

He knew in his heart that he was still in the period of primitive accumulation, and that it would require huge capital to do overseas trade in the future, and the money that Zuo Ling made now was best to be able to keep rolling, slowly rolling like a snowball, and finally complete the primitive accumulation and start doing overseas trade.

The people of the king's organization secretly approached him in the capital, promising that if he wanted to do overseas trade, all the capital would be paid by the king's organization, and all the money he earned would be taken from him, and this spirit of helping others did not impress.

Moreover, he understands the ambition of the overseas monarch's organization, that is, to hold him in his hand as a puppet and command the Qinwang faction in the interior. Therefore, until he has the ability to protect himself, he will not have too close a relationship with the royal organization.

This self-protection ability is the 20,000 elite soldiers of his sixth guard in brocade, and the scale will be expanded in the future, and the goal is 100,000 elite soldiers, of course, this ambition is a bit too big, how to raise 100,000 elite soldiers is a problem, the most basic expenses every year need one million taels of silver, which is only for the soldiers to fill their stomachs, and the soldiers also need to support their families, and also buy ordnance, warships, artillery, birds, these military supplies.

If the army reaches the size of 100,000 people, it will need hundreds of thousands of people in terms of logistics, and these people will also need food, clothing, and housing, and all this will require money.

This requires a huge financial resource as a guarantee, two million taels of silver a year is the most basic expense, whether overseas trade can really make so much money, he really doesn't know in his heart.

But this is just a big goal, it is said that if he has a firm foothold on the coast or sea, he will not need so many elite soldiers, unless he really wants to build a country overseas one day, it is a farther goal, and it is only a vague impression in his heart.

However, one thing is certain, that is, if he wants to do overseas trade, he must have a strong army in his hands to back him, otherwise he can only be a fish and shrimp devoured by big fish.

Holding a sword in one hand and doing business in the other, this is the general rule of international trade. Not afraid of fighting, you can talk, is the way to survive and develop.

It is an exaggeration to say that where you go with your sword, you will have your market and your profits, and it is not a simple matter to dig a pot of gold in the vast sea.

Zhuo Maolin already understands this truth, so he tries his best to get closer to the situation, just to use his strength to get a piece of the pie from overseas trade, this time Zhuo Maolin is ready to invest all the power of the Salt Gang outside the Sai Gang to help Moreover, it is a very heavy vote, if things go wrong, the Salt Gang's strength and territory outside the Sai may suffer a devastating blow.

Even so, Zhuo Maolin is willing to gamble, as long as one day he can gain a foothold on the coast or even the sea, and can help him start overseas trade, all these losses can be recovered with interest.

Zhuo Maolin and Zhou Dingcheng were drinking with Zhang Whale at this time, and they were also in a tent, and the one who was drinking next to them was the little eunuch brought by Zhang Whale.

Zhou Dingcheng has been staying by Zhang Whale's side since he left the customs, and he was afraid that Zhang Whale would have any mistakes, so he told Zhou Dingcheng not to leave Zhang Whale's side for a moment, and he must protect his safety and take care of his life.

"Xiao Zhou, you still have a conscience, besides, that little bastard has a conscience, he hasn't come to see me in the past few days. Plenipotentiary envoy, there's a shelf. Zhang Whale drank a few glasses of wine and complained.

In the past, Zhang Whale and Zhou Dingcheng had much more contacts than with him, and when he was in the capital, Zhou Dingcheng was responsible for the liaison with the palace, mainly with Zhang Whale.

"Boss, you can't say that, isn't he too busy, he has to worry about it inside and out. Don't be angry with him. Zhou Dingcheng hurriedly smiled.

"No matter how busy you are, you can't spare a little time to come and say hello to me?" Zhang Whale rolled his eyes.

Zhou Dingcheng laughed secretly, Zhang Whale just held a grudge and refused to give Xue'er to his nephew, so he hid all the way and didn't see him, but now he complains that he doesn't see him.

That little guy is also pitiful, and he is still sullen all day long, and those maiko are also familiar with Zhang Whale and these little eunuchs, and often come over to tease Zhang Whale's nephew, trying to make him happy, but it is useless.

Zhang Whale also wondered, how many of these maiko were really stunning, if he had all the parts on his body, maybe he would have to come home and enjoy his eyes, but his little nephew looked at these beauties as if he were looking at the air.

"Alas, what a sin. No wonder people say that Wang Ba looks at mung beans. Zhang Whale sighed in his heart.

Sometimes he is glad that he has lived a life, at least he doesn't have to suffer the sin of "Wang Ba looks at mung beans".

Zhuo Maolin drank with Zhang Whale for a while, and when he saw that he was a little drunk, he made a look at Zhou Dingcheng, and then quietly withdrew.

Now that everyone is resting, he is on the move.

Where there are people, there is the Salt Gang, even in this small tribe, and he needs to find his men and pass the word on.

If the 10,000 elite soldiers brought with him are a knife, the people of the Salt Gang are a huge net, and this net almost covers all the places where there are people outside the plug, and then find out the various situations in various places, and finally feed back to Zhuo Maolin, the network center, and Zhuo Maolin will feed back to him one by one.

When Zhuo Maolin walked out of the camp tent, he happened to see that Ji Chang and a few guards were preparing to inspect the camp.

Now more than 5,000 carts and more than 10,000 people have made the camp almost a small town, and the center is surrounded by 5,000 carts, forming a circular car formation, and the men and horses are camped in it, and there are guards standing guard next to the carts.

Outside the chariot formation were two thousand units of Tatar cavalry, which spread out into a circle and camped in a circle, forming a perimeter protective ring. There was also a thousand-man squad between them and the small tribe to prevent conflict between the two sides.

There is no light in the sky, but there are bonfires everywhere on the ground, as if the stars and moon in the sky have fallen to the ground and are burning.

The tents of all sizes are like houses, dotted around, and the center is the chariot, and now Zuo Ling and Li Xiangjun have eaten after bathing and are sleeping on the chariot.

With Murong Yanran's master and apprentice in charge, it is of course the safest place, but besides, he can only rest in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Seeing this, Zhuo Maolin nodded silently, and also nodded, knowing that he was going out to gather his subordinates and gather information.

"Xiaojun, why hasn't this bastard rushed over yet, you let your people take a good look, he must have arrived outside the plug now." Besides.

Every time he walked out of a mile, his heart became a little anxious, and he was really worried about Xiaojun now. I know that nothing will happen to this guy, but I don't know what happened to him, and I just can't let go of it.

"Brother Xiaojun has always been mysterious, I don't know what to do, you don't have to worry about him." Zhuo Maolin laughed.

"That's what I said, but I can't let go of my heart." Besides, he smiled bitterly.

"It's useless to look for him, Bao Zhun will show up when he should appear. If he hides, no one will find him, at least not us. Zhuo Maolin Road.

Besides, I sighed and understood this truth.

The two of them walked side by side, and he had to check the tents and the guards everywhere to make sure that there were no holes in the defense before he could rest in peace.

Now entering enemy territory, even the Tatar cavalry outside who claim to protect them may become enemies at any time, not to mention those herdsmen, the grass and trees are all soldiers is his real situation now, not a mediocre self-disturbing cup.

Moreover, after inspecting the outer car formation, Zhuo Maolin found an opportunity to get out and hide from the Tartar outpost.

The Tatar cavalry was obviously full of loopholes in the arrangement of posts, and their tactics did not care much about this, but scouts sent them a lot, as long as there was an alarm, they could immediately jump up from their sleep and fight.

Moreover, after watching Zhuo Maolin get out, he returned to the Chinese army tent to rest, he did not sleep, and was ready to meditate instead of sleep, so that he could stay awake and recover his strength to the greatest extent.

"You better come up and have a good rest, I will monitor the situation outside, and you will be the first to know if there is any situation."

Moreover, Murong Yanran's voice came from his ears, this was Murong Yanran transmitting to him on the line, obviously Murong Yanran saw him meditating, and knew his intentions.

Moreover, the internal strength is not deep enough to replace sleep with meditation, and it is still sleep that can restore the physical strength to the greatest extent.

Besides, he shook his head and smiled again, meaning that he could still hold it, and if he couldn't hold it, he would naturally go back to sleep.

Murong Yanran smiled bitterly, knowing that she couldn't persuade him, so she retracted her mind and entered deep meditation again. This kind of semi-penetration of her can not only replenish her body's energy, but also know the surrounding situation well, and any wind and grass cannot hide her divine sense.
