Just when Zhang San was thinking about who was more suitable to sell his musket to Da Song, Qingdao Port ushered in a passenger ship from Tamsui, and Zhou Tong, who was just about to get off the ship, snorted heavily when he saw Lu Cunxiao and Gao Zhong standing on the shore.

The two guys were not angry, and stepped forward and said with a smile: "Grandpa, the master asked me to pick you up and go to Jinan." ”

"I have legs myself and can walk! Not the great drive of His Royal Highness the King of Labor. Zhou Tong ignored the two and turned around the two of them, the two looked at each other, and then followed one and grabbed Zhou Tong's arm: "Grandpa, let's not go to the Qi Palace, you go with us to the disciple's grandson's mansion to live for a few days." ”

"Humph! You two aren't good stuff either! The loyal monarchs who taught you in the past have learned to be in the belly of a dog! Zhou Tong snorted heavily, then shook off the hands of the two and said.

"How can it! However, in accordance with your instructions, we have always been loyal to the interests of all Han people, and to all Han people. How didn't I remember. Gao Zhong continued to reply with a hippie smile.

"How dare you say it! What bullshit is for the interests of all Han people, Da Song Nai is orthodox in the world, aren't you doing this, there is no monarch in sight! Zhou Tong said angrily.

"Grandpa, what you said is not right, this world is orthodox but the Xia Dynasty! That is the most orthodox dynasty of our Han people, this Great Song Dynasty can't be ranked at all, even if it is more orthodox than the Great Song Dynasty in the recent Later Zhou, right? Gao Zhong replied.

"Bastard! You wait for the food monarch to be loyal to the king, do you see that you take the Great Song Dynasty to heart? Zhou Tong was speechless by what they said, so he had to argue strongly.

"Grandpa, we are the food king's Lu loyal to the king, you see that what we eat, wear, use, and learn is all the master's, so we naturally want to be loyal to the master and do things for the master!" Gao Pet continued.

"Nonsense! Your master is not the king of the Ryukyus of the Great Song Dynasty, you are loyal to your master, and you should be loyal to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty! Zhou Tong said helplessly.

Gao Pet nodded and said, "That's right! Grandpa, my master's King Qi was also sealed by the Great Song Dynasty, why are you so angry? ”

Zhou Tong mentioned this and said angrily: "This Zhang Wuji, it's too unreasonable, for the sake of the monarch's father, he should be exhausted, why do you still talk to the Son of Heaven about the conditions and ask for benefits!" I must go to Jinan City to ask him about this kind of behavior without a monarch! Who taught him! ”

Gao Zhong grabbed Zhou Tong and said: "Grandpa, you must have misunderstood, the master didn't want to be the king of Qi, he just wanted military salaries, and the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers released it, so he took the bottom number of the throne." ”

"Bastard! Do you think I'm a three-year-old! How can there be a king's salary for the army! Zhou Tong just glanced at the newspaper a few times, and then he was angry and wanted to come to Zhang San Theory, but now he just doesn't believe it.

Gao Chong continued: "The negotiation of the Great Song Dynasty sent Cai Jing that day, and we were also present, at that time, the master only asked for military salaries, and with military salaries, he would destroy the enemy and then retreat, but Cai Jing was only willing to give 200,000 yuan, which was less than a dime, so he came up with this strategy." ”

Gao Zhong took out the battle report in his arms and said, "Grandpa Zu, look! This is the money, food, and sacrificed soldiers that I spent in Ryukyu to exterminate Liangshan Kou, Hebei Tianhu, 100,000 cavalry of the Liao State, and the Jiangnan Lap Gong. ”

Zhou Tong took it and looked at it and said, "En! The Ryukyu soldiers are really elite, and they only lost less than 80,000 soldiers in successive battles, so they are indeed a strong army, why is this cost so much? ”

Gao Zhong said: "You know that our Ryukyu soldiers' casualty subsidy is high, and we didn't lie, nor did we ask for much, so this price is not a little water." ”

Gao Zhong continued: "The master doesn't have to be the king of Qi, the master said that if your old man doesn't believe him, you can go to the Great Song Dynasty with this battle damage report, as long as the Great Song Dynasty promises to pay the military salary and subsidies in full, then we will return to Ryukyu immediately." ”

Zhou Tong naturally knew that the casualty subsidy for the Ryukyu soldiers was very high, and he thought that Zhang San was benevolent at the time, but now that he looks at it, this battle costs so much money, and it is also a bit of a headache, and he doesn't need to ask him to know that the Great Song Dynasty must not be able to afford it, but why did Zhang San come out?

In fact, if the loss is really so big, Zhang San will also have a toothache, the first is that the loss is far from so big, including the Liangshan Army's attack on the Great Song Dynasty, the total loss of the Ryukyu Army is not more than 10,000, and Zhang San's compensation is generally land plus to find a job, and there are decades of successive payments, so the real payment is not much.

At present, the battle with the greatest loss is still in the battle between Goryeo and the Jurchen cavalry, and more than 2,000 horsemen were lost in the first battle, but the old man Zhou Dong didn't know that it was normal to lose tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of people in a million-level battle.

Therefore, the old man Zhou has no doubts about the loss of 70,000 or 80,000 people in the Ryukyus at a time, so it seems that the Great Song Dynasty is unable to pay for the attack, and it is not impossible to be crowned a king, but the old man always feels that something is wrong.

However, the old man's anger also disappeared a lot, and he was persuaded by the two juniors to get into the carriage and gallop towards Jinan, and when he arrived in Jinan, he did learn that Zhang San was no longer in the city, and the old man Zhou felt that Zhang San was avoiding him, and he was so angry that he didn't even enter the city, and directly led two horses to chase Zhang San in the direction where he went.

Of course, Zhang San was not to avoid him, but to wait for him at the Yellow River embankment, and there was nothing greater than seeing and feeling the impact for himself, so Zhang San chose to let the old man see his newly planned Yellow River embankment.

When the old man arrived, Zhang San was inspecting the construction of the slave incinerator, such a huge project would inevitably bring a large number of casualties, so Zhang San accompanied a large incinerator for every 100,000 slaves and gave cremation treatment to the dead slaves.

Zhou Tong saw that Zhang San had a lot to say, but after really meeting, he found that there were many things to say, Zhang San took Zhou Tong to the Yellow River Dati, where 20,000 slaves kept reinforcing the original Dati.

Zhou Tong didn't speak, Zhang San first asked, "You have been to Hebei before, right?" This Yellow River often bursts, right? ”

"I remember that there was a local Shunkou Yellow River, which flooded seven times in ten years, flooded three times and harvested a year." Zhou Tong recalled.

Zhang San looked at these slaves and said: "In order to repair this section of the Yellow River, I have invested more than 600,000 slaves in the past few months, and next year there will be more than 1.5 million on the big lift, and more than 40,000 slaves died on the big lift last month alone." ”

Zhou Tong looked at Da Ti, sighed and asked, "Actually, there is one thing I have always wanted to ask you, that is, why are you so ...... to these alien races, so much?" ”

Zhang San smiled and asked, "So cruel, isn't it?" Like a tyrant, huh? ”
