The reason for the stunned was not that Nuwak didn't hear Luo Kaixian's words clearly, but that ...... He didn't know what to say, "Ask for gold and silver and treasures?" It's too stingy, but he knows the wealth of the general surnamed Luo in front of him. Said you want to follow General Luo for the rest of your life? The General Luo in front of him is not so easy to deceive, lies and pretexts can only make him appear very hypocritical, and then the gains outweigh the losses.

After thinking for a while, Nowak raised his head and said in an almost one-for-one tone: "General Luo, Nowak wants too much, but he is most eager to become the most successful merchant on the east-west trade road!" ”

At this time when Nuwak was thinking, Luo Kai didn't have a trace of urgency at first, and finally heard the other party's answer a little unexpected, "It's a good idea!" However, how does Nowak be considered a successful businessman? ”

"This ......," Nowak said cautiously, "a merchant who can walk in any country without being restricted and earn the profits he deserves should be considered a successful businessman!" ”

Despite Nowak's careful use of words, and even the use of Latin to speak accurately, Luo Kaixian could hear the uncertainty, and he clapped his palms lightly, and said in his oddly pronounced tattered Latin: "That's good, it's just ...... There is no monarch who will allow uncontrolled people to operate under his rule, there must be different laws, how do you deal with it? ”

"Nowak is a merchant, and it is easier to make deals in countries with laws to follow, but in countries with unclear laws, it is chaotic and difficult to guarantee profits." Hearing that Luo Kaixian changed the Latin language, Nowak understood that he was taking care of himself, and he spoke more carefully.

Luo Kaixian shook his head, "According to General Ben, for merchants, it should be easier to get rich in a chaotic country, as long as you bring enough bodyguards to ensure safety, as long as you choose the right goods to trade, it is just a common thing to earn several times the profit." ”

He has never been a real businessman, but he always has some insight in handling war spoils when he was a mercenary, and selling arms in chaotic areas, especially really valuable arms, is just a pediatric for several times the profit, and it is common for more than ten times dozens of times the profit.

Obviously, Novak also understood this, he twisted his curled beard with his hand, and said with a respectful face: "General, you are wise, but the chaos can make more profits, but it is not easy to keep these profits, because it is not easy to have trustworthy bodyguards, it requires enough loyalty and bravery, only family warriors or soldiers like the general, mercenaries like the Romans do." ”

Wealth moves people's hearts, how could Luo Kaixian not know this truth?

The topic was provoked by him, and how to control it is naturally all in the bottom of his heart. Luo Kaixian continued with an impassive expression: "If you can't go to a chaotic place, can you go to a country where the law is perfect?" If you bring precious goods, and the nobles or even the monarch of that country take a fancy to it, and want to rob it, how can you deal with it? ”

Nowak was speechless.

After all, he is still just a small businessman, and it is difficult to imagine how far a businessman who goes against a country can go.

Luo Kaixian knew the tricks, but would he tell others?

Of course not.

With a straight face, he ordered his soldiers to remove the tableware and the remaining food, and then served a pot of herbal tea, Luo Kaixian asked bluntly: "Nuak, when you come to see me, you must have something to tell you, and if you have something to say!" ”

After listening to Luo Kaixian's questioning, he tightened his spirit and said: "Follow your wishes, great General Luo!" Wise you must know that it is difficult for us merchants to stay in one place, the weather is getting colder, and the tents in the caravan are not enough, and I heard that the Song Kingdom in the east is a warm and rich country, and most people want to go there to see it......"

"Huh?" If others said so, maybe Luo Kaixian really believed it, but the merchant said this, Luo Kaixian really didn't believe it, the bitter cold is really nothing to the merchants who walk in all directions, and their tents are lined with blankets made of camel hair.

"In fact......" was asked by Luo Kaixian's glare, and Nowak suddenly panicked, and hurriedly said: "In fact, there is another reason, there are still some gems and gold and silver utensils in everyone's hands, General Luo, you don't want these goods, plus the property you paid for the purchase of the goods before...... They all want to go to the East to buy some silk and tea, which is said to be new...... The porcelain was very good, and the Turkic nobles and the Persian nobles all sought to buy it by name...... It's just that it is said that porcelain is easy to break, and it is difficult to transport it on the road, so I am afraid it is inconvenient to carry. ”

Luo Kai said in his heart that this is the right way, what do businessmen do when they travel thousands of miles not to seek wealth? If it's not for wealth, I'm afraid it has other intentions.

"It's okay, there are no mountains near this Lingzhou camp, and I'm afraid that the cold will be unstoppable in winter, so it's a good choice to go to Song Kingdom." Hmph, this kind of perfunctory Luo someone will too, but it is rarely used, "Well, General Ben remembered that he collected all your carpet inventory half a month ago, and it seems that there are still some mantissa that have not been settled, right?" ”

The carpets mentioned in Luo Kaixian's words are purely hand-woven Persian specialties, which can be used as heirlooms in later generations, but at this time, their value is not seen by Luo at all, and these so-called merchants are not enough to make him angry, and they will deduct a little money and lose their honest name?

He's not that greedy.

But this casual honesty touched Nuak, he came to visit Luo Kaixian to say goodbye, but he didn't expect Luo Kaixian, a general with more than 100,000 people, to remember the small accounts of his merchants, and the businessmen who had seen too many greedy bigwigs said with some trepidation: "Oh, great general, you are a benevolent and honest ......"

Waving his hand to interrupt the other party's incoherent speech, Luo Kaixian didn't care about such gratitude, "When do you plan to leave for the East?" If you don't want to be caught in a blizzard, I'm afraid you'll need to leave early. ”

“…… Uh-huh, general, we'll leave in two days. "Nowak didn't know how to speak for a moment, which was a rare thing for a businessman.

"Two days later, let me think about it...... In two days' time, I will send a team of 100 men with you, who will guard your safety on the road if necessary, provided that you do not take the initiative to cause trouble. Luo Kaixian felt that maybe one day in the future, he would be able to help this businessman, but obviously it should not be now, but it did not prevent him from doing some trivial things to get closer to him in advance.

Of course, this kind of trivial matter can also easily solve some other things, such as exploring the situation of the Song Realm thousands of miles away.

After sending off the merchant Nowak, Olki casually asked the judge, "This Nowak is very ambitious, is this why the Lord met him?" ”

"No, it's because of the need." This kind of ordinary topic, Lao Luo does not restrict his subordinates from asking questions, but will explain carefully every time, "There is nothing wrong with having a little ambition, men need to be ambitious to have the motivation to do things." Like those soldiers out there, who doesn't want to be respected themselves, or become generals? ”

"You're right, Lord!" Alki didn't deny it, but he didn't think he was the material to be a general, and now he just wanted to be Lao Luo's most qualified hand - it wasn't easy.

"Nowak is a clever man, and if we keep working hard, maybe one day it will help us." Lao Luo said in a relaxed tone.

"I know you like him, but ......," Olki asked casually, "General, why do you want to protect those merchants?" Those guys are some voracious vampires! ”

"No, Alki, you're wrong, these merchants can't be called vampires, they are at most flies flying for wealth, and the real vampires are those bastards who lie on the warm bed of power and are still clamoring for a lot of effort^......" After a slight pause, Luo Kaixian continued: "What's more, it is not meaningless to arrange people to go to the Song Kingdom, at least we can understand the situation over there, and we can also buy some necessary items." ”

Unlike other gladiators, Olji was a quiet guy, and now he likes to think more because he often learns some copywriting things from Nuralman. Lao Luo's words were not difficult to understand, at least Olki quickly understood the meaning of Lao Luo's words, "...... General, Lord, you are right. However, who are you going to send to the Song Kingdom? ”

"It's still Helton who is the safest, and Jin Qian can be responsible for security, and a total of one hundred people will be drawn from each battalion, and they must be skilled guys." Because he didn't know what the situation was like in the Song Realm today, Luo Kaixian didn't want to lose the manpower he sent in vain, even if it was only a hundred people.

In fact, he was tempted to leave his immediate affairs behind and go to the East to see for himself, but ...... That's impossible, at least until the camp in Lingzhou is not stable as a foundation, it is absolutely impossible, even if he only shows a little bit, it may cause chaos.

If Luo Kaixian hadn't been in charge, no one would have been able to afford to gamble.

"Yes, Lord. Do you want me to send someone to summon them now? ”

Inform Helton to prepare in advance, Jin Qian can go to the selection of people immediately, and ask him to pay attention to screening out the people who will attend the wedding in half a month, and then call them over in the evening...... Well, I'll also inform Sidyk to come over as well. Luo Kaixian thought about a few points and gave an order.

"Yes, Lord!" Although he didn't understand why he sent someone out to summon a military judge, Olki still respectfully carried out the order, and this kind of matter involving military orders could not be asked casually.

"Go and send someone to inform you, by the way, see if the messenger of the Ma family has arrived, and if so, call him in."

"Yes!"
