Zhou Quan waved his hand, and the man was put up, raised his head and bowed to Zhou Quan: "Master Zhou, it's me, two years ago, I was ordered by the master to transport the ghost slaves!" ”

Sure enough, it was Pu Mabe, the big food merchant at the beginning, but he hadn't seen him for two years, this guy had lost some weight, and his whole body was dark, saying that he was a ghost slave, and no one would doubt it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's just a ghost slave, can you have a good horse?" Zhou Quan waved his hand and asked.

At the beginning, the ghost slave was asked to solve the problem of labor shortage, but now, first there are immigrants from Liaodong, and then one or two hundred thousand immigrants can be obtained from Shandong, and the problem of population shortage is no longer so urgent, so Zhou Quan naturally does not put the ghost slave in the first place.

Pu Ma Bei said with a bitter face: "The master is embarrassed for me, in the big food, the princes over there are not allowed to go to sea......"

Zhou Quan's face suddenly sank, and Pu Ma did not hurry up and said: "But the villain has been ordered by the master, how dare he not do his best?" After spending a lot of effort, the villain finally brought good horses, originally brought twelve, but the journey was difficult, only half of them were alive, fortunately they were all stallions......"

"Okay!"

Zhou Quan was happy in his heart, for a long time, the role of war horses on the battlefield is very great, he took Jeju as the foundation, an important reason, is that Jeju is suitable for raising horses, just one Jeju Island, there is no problem in raising two or three hundred thousand war horses, then he can provide two to thirty thousand war horses a year, he can rely on war horses and muskets, form a rampant dragoon across the grassland!

However, Zhou Quan still thought badly, he knew that the Arabian horse was a good breed, but he didn't know that this horse might not be suitable for the battlefield in East Asia.

"Just these horses?" Zhou Quan snorted dissatisfiedly.

"And ivory, and ghost slaves, I found you a lot of ivory, rhino horn, and ghost slaves!" Pu Ma did not shout.

Zhou Quan has no interest in tusks and rhino horns at all.

These things are just bluffs made by rich people, and he can't see any practical use for the country and himself. Therefore, he waved his hand: "I don't want ivory rhino horns and the like, ghost slave, where are you now?" ”

"Guangzhou!" Pu Mabe's heart jumped, and he said with a sad face.

"Quantity?"

"Two Thousand ......"

Hearing this number, Zhou Quan was taken aback, not less, but more.

The displacement of this Arab galleon is only a few hundred tons at most, and it may even be only a few tens of tons, and it takes a lot of skill to carry 2,000 black people all the way from Africa!

"Hehe, I brought a lot of ships this time, in fact, I originally came with five thousand ghost slaves, but there was some accident on the way, and some were sold halfway, so there are only two thousand left...... As long as the lord wants, I can supply it in large quantities! "Pu Ma don't swear to be authentic.

Zhou Quan looked at him suspiciously for a while, and always felt that this guy's words were a little unrealistic. However, the cannibals are like this, especially after believing in their so-called holy religion, according to their teachings, deceiving the infidels or non-believers is not a fraud, anyway, the money is calculated according to the head, and more than 2,000 ghost slaves can also be used for one or two larger granges.

"Ten through one, go to Haizhou to find the Donghai Chamber of Commerce to settle the bill."

For Zhou Quan, this is a small business, and it is not worth staying too much at all, so he only explained one sentence and drove forward.

Over there, Pu Ma Don't smile so much that he couldn't open his eyebrows, one out of ten, two thousand is 20,000 yuan, plus the price of the horses promised by Zhou Quan, the cost of his trip has already been paid, and the rest is all net profit!

And Duan Heyu, who was beside Zhou Quan, was full of shock.

Dali trades with the southwestern countries, so he has also heard of the big cannibals, these big food merchants have the most powerful eyes, but now they are like slaves, crouching at the feet of Zhou Quan, Zhou Quan decided to do tens of thousands of business as soon as he opened his mouth, and his face was full of contempt, as if this money was not worth his mouth at all!

Dali National Elementary School, a very important source of income, is the caravan trade on the ancient tea horse road, that is, the Duan family, named Wang, is actually running the caravan. Therefore, he still admires those who can make money, and Duan Heyu's trip to the Great Song Dynasty was secretly promoted by Song businessmen.

He had only heard of Zhou Quan's ability to make money, but now, he had seen Zhou Quan's ability to spend money.

"Sure enough, after I go back, I must send Yan'er here!" With a turn of thought, Duan Heyu's smile deepened.

Zhou Quan didn't know that his high-roller behavior of spending a lot of money made others want to recruit him as a son-in-law even more, and after sending Pu Mabe away, he found that Duan Heyu looked at him a little differently, and he couldn't help but be creepy.

"Zhou system, my Dali situation, can I know the system?" After hesitating for a moment, Duan Heyu asked.

"I've heard a little."

"The system is resourceful, Weijia is exotic, can you guide Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang wants to revitalize Dali, how to do it?"

He asked Zhou Quan for advice, but he was really sick and rushed to the doctor.

Since Duan Heyu succeeded to the throne, he has been dealing with the ministers on the one hand, and he has tried his best to cheer up, and he is known as the master of the Ming, but it is difficult to return, no matter what he does, he feels powerless.

The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear, so he wants to ask Zhou Quan, but there is a way to help him.

Zhou Quan smiled and said nothing.

Duan Heyu firmly believes in the interpretation of the teachings, and naturally understands the truth that the law is not lightly transmitted. He was silent for a long time before he sighed.

When staying in the pavilion overnight, Duan Heyu looked at the sky in his clothes, only to see the stars dotted and brilliant, but in front of him, there was a gloomy cloud.

He pondered for a long time, and Li Zicong, the retinue beside him, asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, why is you worried?" ”

"I know my intention to come to the Central Plains, but now the Great Song Dynasty is busy with side affairs and has no time to take care of Dali, I want to turn to Zhou Zhizhi for help, but he refuses to open his mouth to make suggestions......"

Li Zicong's face was ashamed: "It's the incompetence of the ministers, so Your Majesty must ask outsiders." ”

"It's not that you're incompetent, it's really a state affair like this, and it's hard to return, alas!"

Li Zicong lowered his head and thought for a while, he was far away during the day, so he didn't hear that Duan Heyu wanted to promise his daughter to Zhou Quan, and the idea in his heart at this time was to ask the princess to marry in exchange for Zhou Quan's support.

It's just that as a minister, he can't say it directly, so he said in a roundabout way: "Your Majesty, the Great Song Dynasty Emperor doesn't talk about him, among the ministers, I think Cai Xiang is resourceful, and the ancient wisdom is also difficult to achieve. ”

"Cai Yuan is a wise man in the world, but his knowledge is still in the court, and he has not been able to jump out of the nest with ingenuity. His paving into acres and coin innovation are all due to Zhou Quan's advice to him. It's Zhou Quan, I look at this person, the measures can't be inferred by common sense, and wisdom is like an antelope hanging on its horns...... The shortcomings of my Dali today can only be solved by jumping out of the old frame and finding another way. Although Song Ting is full of talents, there is only Zhou Quan for me to ask for advice! ”

Li Zicong was taken aback, he didn't want his own king to respect Zhou Quan so much.

He lowered his head and thought about it again, and said again: "Your Majesty values Zhou Quan so much, you can follow the story of the ancestor Liu Bei Sangu Kong Ming, and ask for it repeatedly, and his people will read His Majesty's sincerity, or have words to help!" ”

This coincided with what Duan Heyu was thinking in his heart, and he nodded and said: "What Qing said is that if the king of Lone does not get a solution to it, he will be the end!" ”

His mind had been decided, and he didn't care that it was too late, Duan Heyu came to the courtyard where Zhou Quan was staying, and lightly buckled the courtyard door. A guard had already asked, and he said in a low voice: "Please go to Zhou to make a system, Xiao Wang Duan and Yu ask to see." ”

He came to visit late at night, and the person who did it was the old trick of Song Taizu Xue to visit Zhao Pu at night, but unfortunately the snow did not fall, so he could not show his sincerity.

A moment later, the voice of the guard came from the courtyard gate: "It's getting late, I'm sleeping, please ask the king to speak again tomorrow morning." ”

Duan Heyu consulted, really didn't entangle, and went back to sleep. However, he had instructions to Li Zicong, and early the next morning, when Dongfang was still only white, he got up and stood in front of Zhou Quan's door.

Zhou Quan pushed open the door and saw the smiling face of the middle-aged uncle, and couldn't help but be startled: "Is there something wrong with Lord Duan?" ”

"It's nothing, it's nothing, I just want to follow Zhou Zhizhi and listen to the teachings." Duan and Yu Dao.

Zhou Quan is not stupid, the so-called nothing does not go to the Three Treasures Palace, Duan Heyu made this appearance, obviously to ask him for advice. The current situation in Dali, unless he goes in person, he can't think of any good way, and for Zhou Quan, Dali is a must-win place, only here, can he further pass through the southwest, Bagan is also under the rule of China, and obtain access to the Indian Ocean.

It's not busy here at this time, it's at least twenty or thirty years later.

"Every morning, I have to trot for a while." Zhou Quan said to Duan Heyu, then stopped caring about him, and started his morning run around the post house.

Duan Heyu's face was a little stiff, but thinking of his domestic situation, he also followed Zhou Quan and started running. In this run, Zhou Quan confirmed that the historical prototype of this "Duan Yu" is indeed not a light work. Although he was in good health, after running more than ten laps, Duan Heyu couldn't run, and Zhou Quan came back after running twenty laps, only to see him leaning against the door panting.

"Zhou ...... Weekly system ......"

Duan Heyu saw that he finally ran back, and stepped forward to salute while panting, but saw Zhou Quan smile and said, "Wait and take a bath." ”

When he came back from the bath, Duan Heyu was embarrassed, he was also sweating profusely, so he could only take a bath too. Soaking in the bathtub, Duan Heyu was a little depressed in his heart, it was obvious that Zhou Quan was unwilling to contribute to him, he didn't know if there was a result of his entanglement like this.

"No matter how many, it's a big deal and don't be ashamed!" He made up his mind, took a quick bath, didn't even dry his hair, and went to find Zhou Quan again.

Since then, along the way, no matter what Zhou Quan does, Duan Heyu always follows, and every Zhou Zhou Quan asks, he says that he respects in his heart, and is willing to listen to the teachings as a teacher. He is an uncle who is almost forty years old, and he calls a young man in his twenties a teacher, and the so-called reaching out does not hit the smiling person, Zhou Quan is not easy to drive away, so he can only let him go.

However, as long as Duan Heyu mentions serious things, Zhou Quan will definitely talk about it left and right, just not to make a plan for him.

The more he was like this, the more Duan Heyu felt that he was born in his chest, and he wanted to draw a plan from his mouth on how to strengthen Dali.

This entanglement was entangled from Bianjing to Xuzhou.

Seeing that Haizhou was in sight, at that time, the two sides were about to break up, Duan Heyu was anxious, and called Li Zicong and others to ask for advice, and everyone discussed together, but they really came up with a solution for him. (To be continued.) )
