After listening to Su You's rambling words, Zhang Ding immediately smiled and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Su You was not in a hurry to answer Zhang Ding, but asked mysteriously, "Let me ask my eldest brother a question first, when I heard the news of the Ryukyuan invasion of Hangzhou Bay, what did my eldest brother think at the beginning?" ”

"Do you need to talk about that? The eldest brother is also a strong man, of course, he can't wait for those people's blood debts to be repaid. Zhang Ding replied without hesitation.

"I knew that my eldest brother was a hot-blooded man who acted bravely." Su You nodded, and immediately asked, "What if the imperial court wants to attack the Ryukyus, but suffers from no food?" ”

Zhang Ding said dryly, "What I didn't say, I donated all the family wealth." ”

All?

Su You didn't expect Zhang Ding to do it so thoroughly, and it didn't hurt at all to hold those goods that he picked up that he didn't earn with his own hands. There are obviously not too many people in this world who will donate all their family wealth, but Su You believes that Zhang Ding will definitely be able to do what he says.

Su You can understand Zhang Ding's character, but he can't understand this behavior.

It stands to reason that "when the country is in trouble, the husband is responsible", but there is a premise in this statement, the country should have a share of the husband.

After listening to Zhang Ding's answer, Su You nodded helplessly, and then said casually, "I set up a trading company, specializing in overseas trade."

"This Hengbo is doing a good job, why do you suddenly want to do business?" Zhang Ding was obviously a little unaccustomed to Su You's jumpy way of speaking, but he still followed his words and asked.

Su You immediately briefly said the meaning of "Southeast Economic Envoy" and what Yang Guang explained to him what he had done, Zhang Ding nodded while listening, and then sighed, "When I was in the Eastern Capital the year before last, I also heard that the warehouses of the imperial court were full of grain, but I didn't think that the imperial court would not be able to get the food for the war. ”

"Your Majesty is also fighting hard for his great cause" Su You nodded, and he couldn't tell Zhang Ding about the "concept circle money".

Zhang Ding nodded, took two sips of tea, and said with some puzzlement, "It's not bad for Hengbo to come to the south to open a field to collect business taxes, but there is no need to start trading in person." ”

"This trading company is actually to be a role model, you also know, the current situation of the maritime trade routes" Su You immediately told his original intention to restore the Maritime Silk Road, and when he said these words, he was full of pride, and he completely lost the cringe that he wanted to say just now.

"Hengbo's ambition is really admired for his brother." Zhang Ding listened to Su You's words and immediately respected Su You.

Su You looked at Zhang Ding and seemed to be a little eager to try, and immediately hit the railway while it was hot, "How about it?" Would Big Brother be interested in sharing this glory with me? ”

Zhang Ding nodded, and said in a deep voice, "I am also a little interested in sailing, otherwise I would not have traveled to sea alone, but the sea is boundless, dangerous and abnormal, if I am not completely sure, I still advise the virtuous brother to think twice." ”

"As long as our ship is big enough, as long as we have astrology and a compass, what is the difference between the sea and the land?" Su You looked at Zhang Ding, who was still a little hesitant, and couldn't help but be tempted, and then said a little jokingly, "Life is in the world, and it has been flickering for decades, if you don't do anything, how can you be worthy of going to this world?" Is the eldest brother willing to stay in Hangzhou for the rest of his life? ”

"Hengbo, you use this radical method" Zhang Ding shook his head and said with a smile.

Su You was demolished by him, so he had to look left and right and said to him, "Big brother doesn't know, one of my assumptions just now is true." ”

Zhang Ding stared into his eyes with interest and asked, "Which one?" ”

Su You said honestly, "The imperial court is planning to conquer Ryukyu for the second time, and the imperial court can't get much food at all; You know, now the imperial court is not only fighting a decisive battle with Tuyuhun, but also wants to prevent the Western Turks from reinforcing Tuyuhun, so there is still a war with Yiwu to fight in the second half of the year."

"Of course, I know this, the most important thing is that the Turkic Qimin Khan has died of illness, and the current Shibi Khan is full of wariness of the Great Sui, and His Majesty is now starting to dig the Yongji Canal in preparation for the war with Goryeo" Zhang Ding immediately analyzed the current situation, and the analysis was inseparable.

Su You nodded involuntarily, it's good that these wars have been won, if there is another defeat, the consequences will be really unimaginable.

"Hey, so you just dug a pit for me to jump." After Zhang Ding finished speaking, he looked at Su You a little depressed.

"Big brother, don't get me wrong, I just want to pull my eldest brother into the trading company, with the help of my eldest brother, I believe that the business between Hangzhou and Baekje is as easy as a finger, and although Baekje has been fighting for many years, there is endless food, and the money for food bought by the eldest brother in Hangzhou, if you go to Baekje to buy it, the grain can be three or five times more."

"Baekje didn't list food as a contraband?"

"Baekje is a strange country, when they trade with Silla Goryeo, they will prohibit the sale of grain, but we have what they need more, and we are their suzerain" After Su You said this, he immediately asked Lai Yanbei to take out his hand-drawn map.

"What is this?" Zhang Ding watched Su You spread out the map on the coffee table, and then looked at Su You Dao with some puzzlement.

"This is a map of the sea, big brother, come and see"

Zhang Ding approached the map, only glanced at it a few times and was dumbfounded, exactly like when he first saw this map in Yanbei, how could he have thought that the world was so big?

"This is Hangzhou? Is this Baekje? This is Silla? ”

Zhang Ding first found Hangzhou, and then followed the arrow of the route drawn by Su You to find Baekje, and asked this and that with some disbelief, but he kept thinking in his heart, "Hangzhou is not too far from Baekje, and Hangzhou is not far from Ryukyu."

Su You looked at Zhang Ding, who was already fascinated, and finally showed a fox-like smile.

After Zhang Ding withdrew his gaze from the map, he immediately said categorically to Su You, "Hengbo, your trading company, my brother has joined, and I have only one request, that is, to go to sea with the ship!" ”

"What I want is the big brother's words, let's go to dinner first, and talk while eating." Su You nodded, and motioned to come to Yanbei to put away the map.

Zhang Ding reluctantly looked at the map in Lai Yanbei's hand, and asked Su Youdao a little childishly, "I haven't seen enough of this map." ”

"I'll come out later and give it to my eldest brother." Lai Yanbei spoke out at the right time.

"Thank you siblings."

The three of them talked, and then walked to the place where they were eating, and Su You asked Bi Yuntao to come together, and the four of them began to discuss Zhang Ding's injection of capital into the Seven Seas Trading Company and the use of newspapers to vigorously promote the trading company and seek various cooperation.

After Zhang Ding went, he came to Yanbei to copy the charts, while Su You and Bi Yuntao began to discuss the intention to acquire various commodities.

In the evening, Su You was protected by Wang Bodang and Wang Dynasty Ma Han and others to go to the Baimen Tower for a banquet, and the people who participated in the banquet were all kinds of officials in Hangzhou, except for Dou Qing and Zhang Zhenzhou, the county guards of Hangzhou.

The difference between the level of the petty officials and Su You is too huge, naturally there is only a familiar truth, Su You doesn't put on a score much, and when he encounters a toast, he is all dry.

After this night, Su You's official authority was not established much, and the massive amount of alcohol shocked everyone; Originally, there were many literati in Jiangnan, and they had to sing poems during the banquet, but they finally heard of Su You's name, so no one offered ugliness today.

After a meal, Su You and Zhang Zhenzhou successfully completed the transaction, and then returned happy.

After Su swam up, the sun was already three poles above the sun.

At that time, Lu Zhongsu had already rushed to Hangzhou Bay with dozens of brothers, as well as twenty or thirty boatmen recruited yesterday afternoon; After a brief handover, they began to rebuild the seven ships.

Of course, according to Su You's orders, Lu Zhongsu immediately received two hundred mercenaries in advance; After all, if only forty or fifty people were to renovate the ship, it would be difficult to complete the delivery in a few days.

With two hundred more strong soldiers, the effect is obviously self-evident.

Those soldiers originally disdained Lu Zhongsu, in their eyes, Lu Zhongsu was just a businessman at best, why should he lead them?

Lu Zhongsu didn't say much, and immediately let Zhang Long and Zhao Hu stand up, and said lightly, "If you can single out one of the four of them, I will privately grant you seven days of leave." ”

More than 200 people immediately whispered and challenged Zhang Long and Zhao Hu.

Unfortunately, Zhang Zhenzhou was originally a little selfish, and the 200 people allocated to Su You were not the elite of the army, but the worst 200; So after dozens of games, the result was self-inflicted, and in the end, no one dared to play.

"Convinced? If you take it, you will listen to Boss Lu's work! Zhang Long looked at the soldiers who shrunk their heads and crooked their necks, and immediately roared, and muttered after they were finished, "These people, can they do it?" ”

Lu Zhongsu obviously knew what he meant, and immediately smiled, "It's okay, Mr. doesn't plan to rely on them to fight for face, it's still no problem to recharge." ”

Zhang Long was speechless, he still knew the details of Lu Zhongsu, so he naturally had some respect for him.

At this time, Bi Yuntao went to receive the three million yuan invested by Zhang Ding, and the two began to acquire various backlogged materials in Hangzhou according to the plan.

By this time, newspapers had begun to sell out one after another, and the discussion of the "Nanami Trading Company" in the teahouse and liquor stores was also beginning to be enthusiastic.

The chess games have been laid out, and Su You has nothing to worry about.

However, just as Su You was bored standing behind Lai Yanbei and watching her copy the chart, he heard a knock on the door.

"What's the matter?" When Su You opened the door, it was Shuang'er.

"Yuan Qi Niangzi is here." Shuang'er immediately handed over the famous thorn and said in a low voice.

Su You nodded, but didn't answer the name, only said, "Did she come to find Fuyu Minghui?" Give her the thorn of your name. ”

"No, she named her name to find Xiao Niang." Frost shook her head.

"Looking for me?" Lai Yanbei put down his pen with some puzzlement, and immediately walked to the door to take over the name of Yuan Qi Niangzi.
