Early the next morning, Meng Qiang and Meng Hao came with more than a dozen soldiers to block Zhao Tianyou's door, grinding Zhao Tianyou to say good things, and wanted to equip his subordinates with gunpowder arrows.

"Zhao Jiaotou, we can't do it without bows and arrows, the brothers are exercising their arm strength every day, and they are making very fast progress. Today, each of these dozen brothers can pull out the longbow and steadily fire more than three arrows, so you can talk to Sister Shui Rou and give us a few longbows! Meng Qiang cried with a sad face, dangling in front of Zhao Tianyou's eyes, and those soldiers also made repeated requests in unison.

Being able to be competitive and unconvinced is the most basic quality of a soldier. Although the foundation of these soldiers is poor, but with Zhao Tianyou, the magical leader, and the rising military spirit after a big victory, every soldier is full of confidence and self-improvement, which is a very good momentum of development.

"Haha, I want a longbow and gunpowder arrows, okay! Each of your two teams has twenty longbows, but not yet, and we have to wait until we go out and buy them. "Zhao Tianyou is rich now, he is tough when he speaks, isn't it trivial to equip him, dozens of longbows don't have a lot of money.

"By the way, who bought the equipment last time? Bring some gold and buy it back as soon as possible. "Zhao Tianyou only made a request for the equipment procurement last time, and did not directly participate in it, and I don't know who contacted the Meng family.

Meng Hao lowered his head and said: "The second uncle contacted me privately, only I followed last time, I know the place but I don't know the seller inside!" ”

Zhao Tianyou nodded, the person is already dead, and there is no point in talking about anything else, the longbow and arrows purchased last time are armaments, and they will never be able to be bought without a dredged channel. The Southern Song Dynasty court was open to the economy, and the culture was also acquiescing to the blooming of a hundred schools of thought, and it was also tolerant and encouraging of science and technology, but the control of military products was very strict.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, because of the great loss of the divine arm bow in the two wars, both the Jin and Liao countries used to secretly learn to imitate the divine arm bow. However, the shape is not like a god, the performance is far from good, and the news leaked after buying a batch from the Song Dynasty at a high price, and the Northern Song Dynasty began to carry out a technical blockade after it was discovered.

The Southern Song Dynasty court still followed the old system, and controlled the trade of armaments and crossbows, and also implemented registration management for ordinary hunting bows and knives. However, as the imperial court's control over the local area became weaker and weaker, some rules were already mere formalities, and even some generals in the army dared to directly sell military materials for profit.

Quanzhou is different from other state capitals, and the taxes brought by economic activities account for more than 30% of the income of the Southern Song Dynasty, which can be said to be the great treasury of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time. And Pu Shougeng, the city manager of Quanzhou Port, has become the biggest beneficiary, no matter what business, he has to intervene, and his power has spread all over Quanzhou.

The last place where the transaction met was a teahouse in the west of Quanzhou, because it was located in a remote place and the business was very deserted, when Zhao Tianyou and the two of them sat in the atrium on the second floor, they found that they were the only guests in the teahouse.

"Boss, come to make tea!" Meng Hao shouted towards the counter.

"Zhao Jiaotou, the last time we met was at this table, the seller was an old gentleman named Mu Chenglin, bald and big-eyed with a long beard."

Mr. Cha, who was wearing a gray robe, casually brought over a pot of hot tea, put it on the table and turned around to leave, and suddenly found that Zhao Tianyou was holding a silver ingot of white flowers in his hand, his eyes suddenly shrew, and his waist was shorter, and he came to Zhao Tianyou and smiled: "This uncle, you can tell if you have anything!" ”

Zhao Tianyou slapped the silver on the table with a bang, pointed to the silver and said, "I'm looking for an old gentleman, Mu Chenglin!" There's a big business to discuss, and if he comes, the money will be yours, how about that? ”

Mr. Cha smiled all over his face, and his eyes stared at the silver and said: "Oh, guest officer, it seems that your silver is not easy to earn, but fortunately it is me, you can't spend it if you want to change it to someone else." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"How about you give me a name, I'll go out and try my luck!"

Zhao Tianyou said: "Okay, we are from the Meng family's fishing village, and we have business matters to ask to see Mr. Mu." ”

Mr. Tea went in response, called a little guy to serve him with snacks and melon seeds, he hurriedly took out a black donkey from the backyard, and walked towards the outside of Xicheng. Zhao Tianyou glanced twice from the second floor, knowing that this Mr. Tea must be an insider, and even they are in a group, and the hope of being able to buy a bow and arrow today is much greater.

After a while, Mr. Cha, who was happy, ran back, and said to Zhao Tianyou with a smile: "Today's luck is really good, I should make a small fortune, there is a meditation nunnery in Sanlipo outside Xicheng, if the two of you rush over immediately, it is estimated that you can see the person you want to find." ”

"Okay, then thank you Boss Tea, but my silver is not easy to take, if there is anything missing, you can't move this teahouse!" Zhao Tianyou threw the ingot of silver into Mr. Cha's arms, and then patted him on the shoulder.

Jingxin Nunnery is a big temple, there are several courtyards inside and outside the mountain, there are several rows of tiled houses for the laymen to eat and stay outside the mountain gate, and there are some vendors who sell things, it seems that the flow of people is continuous outside, and the incense is quite abundant.

Meng Hao said as he walked: "Zhao Jiaotou, this Mr. Mu is also bald, could it be that he is pretending to be a monk to find a good relationship with a nun......"

"Don't talk nonsense, you can't do anything that ruins people's reputation, especially for nuns who are ordained, who will become a monk unless they have gone through hardships, you can't make matters worse." Zhao Tianyou glared at Meng Hao and stopped him from talking nonsense.

Mr. Mu was really here, under a pergola outside the main hall, holding a small teapot to cool off, and after seeing Meng Hao, he smiled at Zhao Tianyou, then turned around and walked to the backyard.

"Keep up, hurry!" Zhao Tianyou called Meng Hao and followed Mu Chenglin closely. Unexpectedly, the person who seemed to be old and unbearable walked under his feet, and left the two young people behind on the path up the mountain.

Soon arrived at a platform in the middle of the mountain, an antique three-entry courtyard is located on one side, and the grass in front of the courtyard is full of a flock of pigeons, which are cooing and eating. The two followed Mr. Mu into the small courtyard, and this time they were greeted by a fragrance, refreshing and endless.

A stone table in the courtyard surrounded several stone benches, and Mu Chenglin was not polite, and only after the main seat was seated did he beckon the two to sit down and talk.

"The soldiers of the Mengjia fishing village broke the Han six sets, the five hundred pirates only escaped some sailors, and the flagship of the building ship of the Han six sets was burned down in front of the dock, your Meng family fishing village is rich!"

Zhao Tianyou nodded and said: "Mr. Mu is really well-informed, everything is known so clearly, then I don't say dark words, what do I say." The last time my second uncle bought a longbow and arrow, the original quality and original price, the volume of goods tripled. ”

"Little friend, that's not how business works!"
