Zhang Han's office is a row of bungalows, more than a dozen rooms are connected in one place, each department has staff here, the attendant department has the most people, and there are people in and out of each room, but here everyone basically keeps quiet, and the sound of speech is also very soft.

A Li Mengnian's attendant received Li Guozhu and them, this is a very young man, in his twenties, the smile on his face is still very green, he explained to Li Guozhu and others: "You guys please sit down first, I will ask the servants to serve tea, the adults are holding a very important meeting, not intentionally neglecting, in the morning I feel that the eldest prince and his party will arrive, and the kitchen has been called to prepare the table, and the adults will see you as soon as the meeting is over." ”

Li Guozhu felt a little unhappy in his heart, with his own identity, Zhang Han should come out to greet him no matter what he was doing, and now he actually asked himself to wait, which is really a bit lazy.

Li Mengnian said again: "My lord said that although it is a confidential meeting, if the eldest prince is willing, he can attend the meeting. ”

Li Guozhu thought for a while and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

At this time, he vaguely understood Zhang Han's arrangement, maybe this was a meeting specially held for him.

At this moment, a group of people came outside the large reception room, and a group of bear-like men strode in, each of them tall and abnormal, with fair complexion, golden hair, and conspicuous beards on their faces.

"These people are Russians, they are members of the mission sent by the Russian Tsar."

A very young attendant introduced Li Mengnian, and then hurriedly walked away.

Li Mengnian was a little hesitant, he didn't know what language to use to talk to these people.

"I speak a small amount of Chinese, but Mongolia is more fluent. ”

Li Mengnian was relieved, and also said in fluent Mongolian: "I can also speak Mongolian in the future, and we received the exact news that your mission is coming ten days ago, and your lord instructed us to make preparations and be sure to entertain the mission with the best courtesy." ”

Most of Petrin and his party knew and spoke Mongolian, and they appreciated Li Mengnian's words very much, and their bearded faces showed happy looks.

It is very accurate that Li Zhuang did not use a name such as Rakshasa to mark the names of the new powerful neighbors in the north, the Russians, the Tsars, and even the names of several large-scale settlements and cities now.

Li Guozhu was about to go to Zhang Han under the guidance of another attendant, he also saw Petrin and his party, Li Guozhu was taken aback when these guys first appeared, thinking that Zhang Han was connected to the white-skinned guys in Nanyang, but then it was not like that, Li Guozhu lacked understanding of Russia, at this time Russia was basically a landlocked country, there was no access to the sea, of course, the Russian bear has been looking for an outlet to the sea, until more than a hundred years later Peter the Great really solved the problem of access to the sea, At this time, there were no Russians on the ocean, and it was normal for Li Guozhu not to know about them.

Zheng Zhilong is also a little depressed, he is proficient in Japanese and Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, also knows Hokkien, Jianghuai Mandarin, he is an expert in linguistics, when Petrin and Li Mengnian said words he didn't understand, Zheng Zhilong felt that he had always been a little too arrogant.

……

When Li Guozhu arrived outside the door of the conference room, Zhang Han finally stood at the door to greet him this time.

The two looked at each other, then smiled at each other.

Li Guozhu was less than thirty at this time, and his face looked young, typical of a southerner, not tall, and his face was a little dark and thin, but his eyes were very large, and his eyes were also bright, showing a very shrewd appearance.

Zhang Han is in his early twenties, very tall, and well-proportioned, only giving Li Guozhu a lot of pressure from his size, but Zhang Han's smile is very gentle and kind, which invisibly dilutes the pressure on people from his body, and also makes Li Guozhu feel a lot more relaxed.

"The eldest prince has worked hard from afar, and he should welcome him from afar, but there have been some troubles recently, so I summoned people from all over the world to attend the meeting a few days ago, and this matter is also important, and it is definitely not intentional to snub the eldest prince."

Zhang Han explained with a smile while letting Li Guozhu go inside.

A little displeasure in Li Guozhu's heart has been dissipated, and he also said with a smile: "Master Zhang has such a big business, and it is inevitable that he will be busy, and there are only fifty or sixty thousand people under his father's command, and the younger brother helps to take care of some miscellaneous things, and he is also busy every day. ”

Zhang Han smiled and listened to Li Guozhu's words, and had some basic judgments about this person in his heart...... People are indeed shrewd, but they also have the atmosphere of a gentleman, this kind of person should not be difficult to get along with, but he must not be made to feel that he has lost face. If there is no Li Dan, this person should not be able to control the overall situation, and sooner or later he will be swallowed up by the stronger hero.

Zhang Han remembers Li Dan, Yan Siqi, Xu Xinsu, of course, he knows Zheng Zhilong, but he doesn't remember Li Guozhu, this person should not be famous in the later generations, and he must not have made any career.

Of course, Zhang Han will not underestimate Li Guozhu with this matter, sometimes heroes create the current situation, sometimes the current situation creates heroes, even if a person with the ability loses momentum and wants to turn over, he will not look down on Li Guozhu all of a sudden.

"Grand Prince, please take a seat." Zhang Han asked Li Guozhu to sit on his side, and the two sat side by side, this conference room was a long oval table, Zhang Han sat on one side, and the rest sat in turn.

"Okay, thank you."

Li Guozhu is very satisfied with Zhang Han's arrangement, he is no stranger to this kind of meeting sitting method, and the Spaniards in Manila also hold meetings with this kind of table and sitting style.

However, Li Guozhu is a little strange, Zhang Han is a pure inland wealthy businessman, and he should not have made friends with overseas people before he came into contact with the Li family, he actually has these here, and he also built carriages, table clocks, and telescopes and many other things about Taixi.

"Let's move on." Zhang Han asked someone to serve Li Guozhu a cup of tea, and then ordered someone to continue.

It was Yang Sisun who spoke, Chang Wei had just finished speaking, drinking tea and peeking at Li Guozhu.

Also present are Li Shenming, Sun Jingting, Li Dongxue, Li Yuchun and Liang Hong, as well as Zhang Chun, Ma Chaoren, Sun Anle, Ma Huaxian and others, the military is Liang Xing, Wang Changfu, then Wang Yikui and Li Laibin, Li Zhiye, Sun Yao, Duo'er, Ren Jing, Zhu Dayong and others.

There were more than 20 people sitting in the house, many of them were smoking, and the windows were not allowed to be opened when it was cold, and the house was full of smoke and miasma, and the smell was very choking.

"The three convoys in front and rear, a total of 965 carts, transported nearly 40,000 stones of grain, more than 100,000 horses of cloth, and the rest of the wool, woolen wool added up to thousands of horses, as well as some vegetables, fruits, and medicinal herbs, and transported more than a dozen carts, and bells and stoves were placed on these carts. After the convoy arrived at the Khalkha Bahrain Department, it was stopped, and the Korqin people drove the carts and horses to carry it, and it took two months to transport them, and their capacity was far worse than ours. It is estimated that we can arrive in Liaodong around November, Tan Tai Na later received a letter from Liaodong, saying that we should continue to transport, I replied to the past according to the instructions of the adults, and we will no longer ship the goods before the payment is paid. The transportation time took us less than a month, of course, it was the time to prepare and the time to transport the goods, the first time we encountered the attack of Su Bao and Bu Bao, killed more than 340 of them, captured more than 260 war horses that could be used, the second time did not encounter an enemy attack, the third time there were hundreds of horse thieves who wanted to sneak attack, and were driven away by Zhu General with cuirassiers, killing more than a dozen people. ”

Zhang Han said to Yang Sisun: "You broke the 5,000 Beiyu cavalry with 300 infantry, and now your reputation has spread, even Du Wenhuan wrote to me last month, asking if you can exchange 50 family members for you, you go to Yansui Town, you are directly the head of Qian, and you will be guaranteed to guerrilla within a year, provided that you change your surname to be the head of the family, are you willing?" ”

Yang Sisun blushed and wanted to scold, but then he still pressed his temper and said with a cold face: "I don't want to, please help your subordinates directly refuse next time you encounter such a thing." ”

Zhang Han just laughed when he heard it, Chang Wei squirted a table of tea with a smile, and Li Shenming and the others all laughed...... Li Guozhu's eyes widened on the side...... He didn't expect Zhang Han to talk to his subordinates so casually, and he didn't mind the attitude of his subordinates...... If it was in Hirado or Bengang, which guy dared to talk to Li Dan like this, even if he didn't kill him, he would be heavily responsible and deprived of real power.

Wang Yikui, Li Laibin and others also laughed, but Duo'er and Li Zhiye and others all talked about the military positions of the border army, and their words were quite fierce.

Zhang Han pressed his hand and said, "Keep getting down to business." ”

Yang Sisun said: "After the Su Nang was killed, the scale of the sneak attack on the convoy became larger, and the general manager and his subordinates held meetings, and it should have caused public anger by killing Su Nan. In addition, the strength we showed is too strong, what is it called, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. This time we came back to the meeting, leaving Zhao Shiwu and Li Xuan to look after the house, and our hearts were really a little nervous. ”

Wang Changfu snorted and said, "If you don't accept it, you will be beaten, and you will be beaten until you are satisfied." ”

Li Shenming also snorted and said, "It's so simple!" ”

"What?" Wang Changfu glared and said, "Mr. Li, what do you say?" ”

Li Shenming said impatiently: "Changfu, think about it, in addition to the remnants of the cloth bag forces that attacked our convoy, there are more than 2,000 miles from east to west, and more than 1,000 miles from south to north, from September to October, there were 21 sneak attacks in a month, there were hundreds of horse thieves, dozens of people, in addition to many sneak attacks on our convoy, there were also three supply depots attacked, from east to west, we have 35 stations, 23 stations in the north and south, 1,300 carriages, and it will continue to increase. There will be more than 5,000 personnel, too many supply points, too long routes, too many carriages and horses, if it really makes trouble for the entire grassland to be our enemy, do you have thousands of troops and horses to take care of such a large territory? ”

Wang Changfu was choked and speechless, but he still felt disappreciative in his heart, but Li Shenming and Zhang Han had a deep friendship, and they couldn't be treated as ordinary people.

I've been a little depressed in the past two days, and I read the novel before I started coding words in the morning, and I saw that Blacksmith Guo seemed to be dying, and I felt so sadistic and sadistic......
