Chapter 32: Appetite
Kang Lao brought 5,000 Nibharats with him, even if they were divided into several teams, each team was a huge number, therefore, they played the official banner of the Nibharati country, and all the paperwork and formalities were complete, which provided a lot of convenience for doing things, after all, there was a layer of diplomatic identity as a cover, and whoever wanted to move had to think about it a little bit.
Liu Ji will reveal his plan to him little by little, and with Kang Laosi's understanding, he can naturally guess that his focus is not on Anxi Town, but on Beiting.
The reason is not difficult to understand, although Anxi Town has a good foundation, the relationship is complicated, the interests have long been divided, and if you forcibly intervene, all the people you offend are acquaintances, and you have no way to start.
On the other hand, Beiting is different, except for the three counties of Yi, Xi, and Ting, which are next to each other, they also nominally govern a large area, and it is the vast world that has made great achievements.
More importantly, even if it is based on history, Feng Changqing will concurrently serve as the festival of the two towns in less than a year, and his advance layout in Beiting will bring great convenience to the former's ownership, and the two conveniences have the same interests.
Soon, the wine and food were served by Orchid, and when she went out again, Liu Ji took a piece of beef and threw it into her mouth, chewing it slowly.
"Shi Langjun has returned to Xizhou a few months ago, you go to contact him first, if he is not away, your people should not go west, hire some people who are familiar with geography, go north, go to the grassland, you will sell what they need, find out the bottom of these tribes, I will be useful."
"Lang Jun means the Qarluqs?"
Kang Laosi is no stranger to that area, so Liu Ji will use him to lead the Nibharokas.
"There are also the Uighurs, the Tiele, the Turgish, and the Turks, all the tribes who are begging for a living on the steppe, I am interested in them, and I understand their every move."
"Lang Jun wants to use the name of a businessman to snoop?"
Liu Ji is very satisfied with his alertness: "I want to know their customs, habits, terrain, water sources, behavior, how much they eat every day, how much they pull, everything." ”
"You are not Han Chinese, and you are from the extreme south, their defense must not be big, under the banner of business, walk around more, make more friends, profit is still second, it is best to keep people, pick the kind of clever and reliable, things do not have to be made clear to them, let them think that it is for the convenience of trade."
Kang Laosi was shocked when he heard this, because the other party's appetite was not just to inquire about some news, but to establish a long-term mechanism, so that the movements on the grassland could not be hidden from their eyes, and when the virtual and real were in his hands, what would he do next, he suddenly felt a burst of fear, his hands shook unconsciously, and a pair of bamboo chopsticks fell on the table.
"Scared?"
Liu Ji was not surprised by his reaction, if he could still sit still, there would be a problem.
"Lang Jun's plot is big, and his subordinates are afraid that they will not be able to do it." Kang Laosi replied honestly.
"Who is the one who is plotting? Actually, I don't know, it's just a rainy day. ”
Kang Laosi no longer hesitated, stood up and saluted him, at this time, if he wanted to get out again, how could it be, he was not stupid.
"Sit." Liu Ji accepted his salute safely and waved his hand.
Waiting for Kang Laosi to sit down again, he continued: "You are the first batch, there will be people coming later, the leader of the Xiangxiong people is a Han Chinese, you should have seen it, when the time comes, their affairs and you have nothing to do with each other on the surface, but you should take care of each other, in addition to this, there should be a group of Han people, it will be a little later, and then we will talk about it." ”
Liu Ji's words made Kang Laosi stunned, he was glad that his reaction was quite fast, and he didn't hesitate for too long, otherwise he wouldn't have heard this, it turned out that Lang Jun had always had a back hand, and he was not the only choice.
The number of Zhangxiong and Han Chinese, even if the number is equal to that of the Ka people they brought with them, is more than 15,000!
Now, he no longer has the slightest doubt, Lang Jun is only afraid that what he is plotting is much bigger than he imagined.
"My subordinates will do their best." Kang Laosi was suddenly a little excited, just like that time, when he went to He Bolao City.
"Okay, after your people are assembled, go with Deputy Zhang Shu, and distribute all the pensions of the brothers who died in the battle to them, and everything will be arranged by Deputy Zhang Shu, understand?"
"My subordinates understand."
After the confession, Liu Ji didn't stay longer, got up to say goodbye to him, and when he returned to the mansion, Zhang Wuyuan had already left, and the old housekeeper told him a news that he had heard a long time ago, and the people of Baifu really sent a woman here, as well as many gifts.
"Pick some good ones and bring them to Beijing, and put the rest away, what about the people?" Liu Ji accepted it unceremoniously and ordered.
"In the backyard, it's handed over to Mrs. Zhang."
As soon as the old steward's words fell, he immediately realized that he had asked in vain, and he handed over the matter of the back house to Zhang Lianqiao early in the morning, not only because the two had an intimate relationship, but also because she was a newcomer and had nothing to do with the original servants of Liu Mansion, Liu Ji was consciously cultivating his own people.
Of course, there is another reason, that is, Zhang Lianqiao is not from a big family, he has been showing up outside since he was a child, although he is not as polite as those who come out to receive people and things, but the human accident is much stronger, and after experience, it is more in line with his requirements.
I don't know that at this time, Zhang Xiaoniang, in the face of this famous female trick in the city, was a little overwhelmed, but the other party was more open than her, the head of the inner house.
"My sister is born well, no wonder I can be loved by Goro, and I will be in the same place in the future, and I hope that my sister will take care of me more, and my sister will be grateful."
"I don't know you." Zhang Lianqiao looked at the woman who was half a body shorter than herself, and said expressionlessly.
"The slave was given to Wulang by Baifu, and my sister will know in the future that you and I will serve Lang Jun in the future, and there will always be a person to take care of, whether you recognize it or not, what does it matter."
Du Miaoru had to tilt her neck to talk to her, she had been stretching for a long time, she was sour and tired, how could she have suffered such a crime when she was so big, but knowing that the other party was the favored head of the inner house, even the old housekeeper of the Liu Mansion was extremely face-saving, and how could she dare to hold it up.
"I don't know you." I didn't think about it, the other party turned over and over is a sentence, and blocked the road, so that she can't advance or retreat, just as she is helpless, a figure quickly ran in, crossed her side, pulled the extremely tall woman, and walked to the side.
Liu Ji can be regarded as knowing, why people are not bad looking, and their figures are quite good, but no one is willing to marry home, this girl is so tall that even she will feel embarrassed, how can those who are shorter than herself be willing?
"Ah Qiao, where is your father?"
"Let's go, stay for a while." Zhang Lianqiao blinked, a little unclear.
"You, this house is so big, where can't you sleep, go and find people, and Lao Xu, also invite them, just say I'll invite them to drink, and you will accompany you then."
"Hmm." Zhang Lianqiao replied in a low voice, thinking of the situation that day, he couldn't help but have a fever on his face: "What about her?" ”
Seeing her shyness, Liu Ji couldn't help but touch her long legs through her clothes, only to feel extremely slippery, and a wicked smile appeared on her face: "I'll take care of her first, and then I'll come to you." ”
In front of outsiders, the girl couldn't bear it, lowered her head and ran away.
