The new stables were well built, but it was not easy to inspect them, for there were so many of them, hundreds of thousands of horses, half of the cattle, and a third of the sheep...... Camel.

In order to prevent them from freezing to death in the winter, including the herdsmen who were in charge of grazing the herds, Luo Kaixian mobilized 5,000 people to build stables that could be used to keep them warm during the cold winter. Moreover, in order to prevent the overcrowding of groups in winter and the cause of cross-epidemics, it is impossible to have hundreds of animals in one stable, so each stable can only allow space for a maximum of twenty horses.

As you can imagine, the area required for a stable to accommodate hundreds of thousands of large animals is not an easy task.

Fortunately, Luo Kaixian didn't have to look at all the stables every time.

Of course, even so, by the time he returned to his tent when he was done, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, that is, almost one o'clock in the afternoon.

"I'm going to starve to death, give it to me again...... Get some milk! Sitting in the tent, Luo Kaixian swallowed the food in his mouth, the knife in his hand was still busy between the barbecue and the dough, and said to the soldiers beside him, "Is that greedy bastard from Novak here?" ”

"I've been waiting for a quarter of an hour, Lord!" The pro-soldier on duty filled Luo Kaixian's cup with milk and replied softly.

"Call him in!" Luo Kaixian didn't care if he would be disturbed to eat, and directly opened his mouth to order.

As mentioned earlier, a year and a half ago, when Lao Luo led a team to pass through the city of Rai, he killed more than a thousand ill-intentioned guys and won the title of a butcher Luo, at that time, there were many Iranians in Rai City who hated him, and there were also more people who were optimistic about him, so when he led the team away, there was a team of risky businessmen who followed him all the way behind the team.

Among these merchants are Iranians on the plateau, as well as merchants of different races who travel all over the world, and Nuak is just one of them who is not so conspicuous, and it is entirely because of his name that Luo Kaixian has been traveling around the world with guns and cannons in South America, how can he not know the name of the famous cat poop coffee brand?

So, naturally, because of Luo's attention, even if it was only occasional casual attention, Nowak's status in the caravan has improved, although he is not the most wealthy, but because he knows the rules and behaves well-behaved along the way, he has benefited a lot, making him already quite appealing among the merchants.

Luo Kaixian didn't like merchants, because in the world he once belonged to, there were too many wars not because of the so-called national contradictions, but because of the greed of merchants!

He hated businessmen, but he also deeply understood that businessmen were indispensable as an industry - and this could not be determined by his subjective desires.

So after traveling from East Africa to West Asia, Luo Kaixian figured out that he needed a territory that he could fully control - just like he had said in Kaihelen and Al Hesyn.

So, how to face the problem of businessmen?

From a practical point of view, what can we do with the 150,000 manpower in front of us? What is the foundation of life? What is the direction of development?

As the decision-maker of the fate of more than 100,000 people, there is no room for any assumptions,

……

While eating and thinking, a guy less than 1.8 meters old with a small belly walked in, this guy had a black turban wrapped around his head, a disc face under the turban, thick eyebrows that were almost connected, and the most distinctive thing was that he had an upturned beard that looked extremely funny - just like many West Asian comic book characters in later generations, this guy who made people feel happy every time he saw it was the merchant Nowak.

But this Nowak is not a clown in a burlesque, but a guy who knows how to judge the situation.

"Merchant Nowak, have seen the great General Law!"

As he shouted the words, Nowak bent down and respectfully saluted Luo Kai.

"Sit, Antiano, and bring a meal to the guest!" Luo Kaixian didn't get up, just sat in his position and waved his hand casually to stroke his chest, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the seat opposite the long table to signal the other party to sit down.

According to the etiquette rules of this era, Luo Kaixian's behavior was very rude, but Nowak didn't mind at all, and even showed a lucky expression of honor on his face, "Thank you, respected general, Nowak is not a guest, he is your faithful servant!" ”

With the words, this bearded guy directly obeyed Luo Kaixian's instructions and sat in the designated position, and the words of the show of loyalty did not seem flattering at all, but showed a calm and obedient attitude.

Luo Kaixian didn't have the ability to read minds, so of course he couldn't accurately guess the other party's specific thoughts, but the psychological knowledge and meticulous thinking he had learned came in handy. Based on the performance of the other party alone, he can be sure that the other party will never disobey his wishes, at least for now, it is not difficult to determine this, businessmen like to think about things from the perspective of interests, as long as they grasp this, there will be no big mistakes.

"Slaves don't have to...... Oh, Nouak, your food is up, please use it! Lao Luo slowed down his eating movements and said while observing the other party's movements.

"Thank you, General, thank you Antiano, I'm hungry too......" Nowak said, unceremoniously grabbing the food that Antiano had placed in front of him.

It is easy to be impressed by his frank but unpretentious posture, at least this is how Luo Kaixian feels now, he is most tired of boring and hypocritical polite words, "There are many affairs in the camp, and there are too many places that need to be taken care of by General Ben...... Oh, you should have seen ...... too."

Whether it is a military camp or a private camp, a boy camp and the like, outsiders are not allowed to enter, but the wooden house area under construction is too large to isolate the eyes of outsiders, because some transactions will inevitably be snooped on by the merchants - the merchants' stations are independent, and Luo sent a thousand soldiers from the garrison battalion to be stationed there, in addition to protecting the safety of the other party, it is also a kind of surveillance.

Old Luo's words aroused the interest of Nuwak's words, and this guy with a good appetite swallowed the food in his mouth and said eagerly: "General Luo, great general, you will surely become the most powerful lord, even a holy king, you have the bravest soldiers, the most intelligent craftsmen, and the most industrious people......"

Nuak was a man with a heart, and on the way from Rai City, he even asked someone to teach him Chinese, but his Chinese seemed to have followed the habits of his native language, and although he spoke with a Hexi accent, he spoke extremely fast and indistinctly......

Fortunately, Luo was used to distinguishing this kind of guy's words, and after listening to it for a while, he immediately raised his hand to stop this boring praise, "Okay, Nowak, don't talk about this kind of boring words......"

"No, great General Law, Nowak never praises others easily, only twenty days, I have never seen a tribe that can build such a large camp, Allah is above, this is a new city!" When he said this, Nowak's expression was particularly rich, and he pointed to the wooden house area not far away.

No one would dislike such praise, but Lao Luo was the only exception, because even in this era, the Great Lighthouse of Alexandria, the temple of Athens and the magnificent Grand Palace of Constantinople that he had seen along the way could be called great buildings, compared to the current wooden house area was just a shanty town in his eyes.

He noticed the other party's mantra more sensitively, and frowned, "Nowak, are you a Green Cultist?" Arab? ”

Facing a guy like Luo Kaixian, anyone would be under pressure, let alone a businessman like Novak who hadn't personally participated in many killings? The guy with the eyebrows straightened his expression, "No, great General Luo, your faithful servant Nuwak is a merchant, and as you know, Nowak will not be a devout believer...... Nor is it an Arab ......"

"So, where are you from?" Luo Kai was a little stunned at first, and then asked, he was going to use this businessman, and it was necessary to understand some details.

"Back to the great General Luo, Nuak is from Ankara, which is also called McRopol, my father is from Armenia, I heard that you have passed there, but I have been away from there for four years." Novak put down everything he was holding and replied respectfully.

Lao Luo breathed a sigh of relief, he really didn't want the businessman he wanted to cooperate with was a devout believer, especially a green cultist, and casually asked a few questions about Ankara, and even talked about the Hux and Farrell families he had dealt with, and Nowak's words could be right.

Lao Luo, who was relaxed, teased, "At the moment, McRopole is ruled by Rome, and according to Europa custom, you should believe in Harris or Pluton (1), or the god of Christianity, ......."

Unlike Luo Kaixian, Nowak's answer was very serious, "Great General Luo, what you said is very reasonable, but the name of the god of Plutong has not been obvious for too many years and has long been forgotten, as for the god of Christianity, whether he can control the wealth, Nowak does not know, but his servants are obviously too greedy......"

Although the other party did not say it explicitly, Luo Kaixian had already understood, obviously, in the eyes of merchants, believing in gods can also be regarded as a kind of transaction, and gods without the ability to protect are not worth cultivating, and the agents of gods or priests are too greedy, which is also not a good choice, and this Nowak walks in Central Asia and hangs a green religion sign is more advantageous.

But does this anger the so-called "gods"? Lao Luo thinks that the so-called god is not so boring, is it really useful for human beings to believe in Him?

Luo Kaixian was supposed to be an agnostic, and the reason why he was not an atheist was because he had seen too many incomprehensible things in his military career—which could not be explained by the so-called material science in later generations.

So when he came to this time and space, he didn't get entangled in the so-called scientific theories.

In his opinion, if there really is a god, then the existence that threw him into this time and space must be the most powerful one, from East Africa to Western Xinjiang, on the road of tens of thousands of miles, he has done so many things to change the so-called "history", and he has not seen any existence to rebuke or teach himself a lesson.

Therefore, in Luo Kaixian's view, there is nothing unusual about Nuak's mentality, this kind of person is very realistic, he will not be loyal to anything, but he is not a moral saint, the latter is not a person who can cooperate.

Thinking of this, Luo Kaixian didn't want to ask any more questions, but asked directly: "Nuak, what do you want?" ”

Nouak, who was wondering if there was something wrong with his words, was stunned.
