299. Wushu makes trouble
"Amazing Mr. Fang!"
"Not only is he familiar with military strategy, he is familiar with civil affairs, but he can also do business!"
"Such a talent, but Zhou Quan can't use it, this is obviously a gift from God!"
Wushu stayed in the Five Kingdoms City for two days, and during these two days, Fang Hao was inseparable from him, and the more Wushu talked to him, the more he felt that this person was unfathomable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Of course, Fang Hao boasted that he was indeed unfathomable. He has been in Jiangnan for many years, and he has never seen anything in that prosperous area. In the past few years, he has been staring at Zhou Quan with his father, and it can be said that he is one of the people who know Zhou Quan best in the world.
"Zhou Quan's biggest skill is not to make money, not to fight, but here!" When Wushu tentatively asked him what he thought of Zhou Quan, Fang Hao pointed to his heart and said.
"Oh, what does that mean?"
"Whimsy! He has great ideas...... However, there is an article in the recent issue of Donghai Business Daily, saying that people's thoughts do not come from the heart, but from the brain, and there is some truth in it. β
"Donghai Business Daily?" The Wushu felt as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
Fang Hao explained a few words, but it was really difficult to explain what a newspaper was to a nation that did not even have its own written language. Therefore, he simply took out a newspaper from his sleeve and unfolded it for the vultures to read.
It's a pity that Wushu is still illiterate, he can only see the dense text on a large piece of paper, but he can still understand some of the pictures, pointing to one of the pictures and saying: "Hahaha, this is a car overturned, right?" β
Fang Hao turned the newspaper around expressionlessly: "You took it the other way around." β
"Oh...... Hahahaha...... "Wushu finally felt a little embarrassed.
The picture depicts a special kind of car, which runs on the track, is pulled by four to six horses, and can carry thousands of catties or even ten thousand catties. Wushu can only understand paintings, and even paintings, so he doesn't understand the meaning of this, but Fang Hao is different, and when he thinks about it, he immediately thinks of the boats on the canal.
The north-south transportation of the Great Song Dynasty mainly relied on the canal, but the canal was limited by the river, and the dredging had been done less in recent years, and the canal had been overwhelmed.
If there is such a road again, from Jiangnan to Jingshi, the volume of goods will increase greatly.
If you think about it carefully, if such a road connects the northwest, Beijing, Jiangnan, and Hebei, wouldn't it mean that hundreds of thousands of troops in the imperial court can be dispatched to various places in a very short time.
At that time, the Manichaeans wanted to raise affairs in the south of the Yangtze River, and as soon as they raised troops to attack the city and occupy the territory, the elite of the Western Army and the Beijing Forbidden Army had already arrived at the Huai River......
Fang Hao's complexion changed suddenly.
He suddenly understood very well why his father sent him to Jeju, and only hated Zhou Quan for not acting according to his father's plan and letting him waste his time on Jeju Island!
Wushu originally smiled and asked him some questions, but when he saw that his face suddenly turned ugly, he was a little confused. He asked tentatively, "What is the difficulty of Mr. Fang?" I am the most bold, I like to help others, Mr. Fang is such a talent, I am very willing to make friends, if there is any difficulty, just say it to me! β
Fang Hao glanced at him and pouted: "That's it, what can you help as a Jurchen spy!" β
As soon as these words came out, Wushu's expression also changed: "Why did Mr. Fang say this, where am I a spy?" β
"You Jurchens have just been founded, and this merchant has been sent to Jeju Island, isn't this a spy? That is, the Donghai Chamber of Commerce doesn't care about this, so you can be comfortable so far, if I ...... Hehe! β
Fang Hao has a deep feeling for this, the Five Kingdoms City is wide on the outside and tight on the inside, except for some important places where there are patrols and guards, most places are open to him. In the past few months, he has met many people, from the Liao State, the Goryeo and the Great Song Dynasty, there are real merchants, and there are also spies who mix in with the merchants to spy on the news, or simply have a dual identity.
But Jeju Island has a strange attitude towards these people, as long as the other party does not really try to get in touch with the core secrets of Jeju Island, and just hangs around the street, Jeju Island will ignore them.
Fang Hao couldn't understand this at all, but thinking about his own identity, Jeju Island didn't care about him, as long as he could afford to pay for room and board, he would let him wander around, but he couldn't find out any real secrets except for some superficial things.
Not even the warships of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce could not be seen.
It is said that the warships of the Chamber of Commerce are not the same thing as merchant ships, and the warships carry terrible weapons called cannons, and there is only so much that Fang Hao can hear, and he himself cannot get close to the military port used by the warships.
After listening to Fang Hao's words, Wushu realized that his seemingly seamless disguise was useless here.
He laughed dryly, secretly glad in his heart, although he was a Jurchen spy, Jeju Island might already know about it, but at least he didn't know that he was the fourth prince of Jin Kingdom.
The two muttered as they came to the market by the docks.
It is said to be a bazaar, but in fact it is also a shopping mall, and the six-person character of "the first department store in the East China Sea" is particularly conspicuous in the sun.
This building is not as large as the department store in Kyoto, and on the left and right sides of it, there is a row of two-story bungalows, the first floor is the faΓ§ade, and the second floor is the housing. Merchants from all over the world, if they are not satisfied with the purchase price offered by the Chamber of Commerce, can also rent a storefront, set up their own stalls here, and wait for the object of trade.
Wushu followed the past of Fang Hao's shop and shop, and the Song people were the majority, but there were also Goryeo and Khitan people. Looking at these things, he was not very interested in Wushu, but when he came to a Japanese merchant's shop, he stopped.
"Knives?" Looking at the things that the other party placed on the stall, he couldn't help but reach out and grab it.
The Japanese businessman suddenly came to his senses.
Although he could only speak a few words in Chinese, this did not prevent him from desperately bragging about how good his knife was, in fact, he wanted to let this barbarian, who didn't look like a Song person, buy a few more knives of his own.
"The name of this knife is Tong Zi Cut, our famous Japanese brave general Gen Yorimitsu A hundred years ago, he used this knife to kill a ghost god! If you take it back and give it to the warriors of your country, you will surely receive a great reward, and the reward will far outweigh the cost of buying this sword! β
The Japanese businessman boasted and was annoyed in his heart.
In the past, knives had always been a very important trade item in business with the Song people, but now that the Song people's steelmaking technology has leaped forward, there are many and good steel knives forged, and there is no market for expensive Japanese swords. He brought more than 20 famous knives, originally thinking of making a lot of money in the Song people, but he found that the combined price of these knives may not be able to sell for a thousand times, which made him disappointed, and he was reluctant to give up, so he could only sell knives here by himself.
Although it is pure bragging to say that the knife was a boy cut, it is true that they were made by famous craftsmen in Japan, and even in their own country, it is normal for a knife to sell for hundreds of times.
"Good knives!"
Wushu is knowledgeable, compared the knife, felt the chill of the blade, and praised it twice.
"Five hundred guan a handle, sold cheaply!" That's Japanese.
"No money." Wushu nodded his head again and again, but finally said something like this.
Then the Japanese were suddenly anxious, and they wasted half a day of spitting and got such a reply?
He saw that Wushu was just a barbarian, not a Han Chinese, so he pulled out a knife, pointed at Wushu, and scolded in the local language.
Wushu didn't understand what he was saying, but he knew he was scolding himself. He was immediately annoyed, and he wanted to fight with his fists.
Although the Wushu is not very old, he is not small, no different from an adult, and the Japanese are short, if they really fight, not to mention that the Wushu has a companion by his side, just one Wushu is enough to beat him all over the ground to find teeth.
Fortunately, Fang Hao's eyes were in a hurry, and he hugged the vultures: "Don't do it, don't do it, you will ignore it as soon as you do it, look over there!" β
Wushu looked back and saw several people probing their brains. Looking at their appearance, they don't look like patrols, but they are wearing uniforms similar to patrols, but they are embroidered with two big characters on their chests.
"Who's that?" Wushu asked.
"Chengguan, this place is under the management of the chengguan, if you make trouble here and provoke the chengguan to come out, we won't be able to get out!" Fang Hao said a word, then pointed at the Japanese and sneered: "You wait, the chengguan will come over immediately, and see how they clean you up!" β
The Japanese businessman immediately panicked, like Fang Hao, he knew that the chengguan was powerful. He is a person like him, the most bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, originally a bullying barbarian, not understanding the situation here, so he dared to scold, wanted to coax the vultures to fight with him, the city management came to arrest the vultures to pay a sum of money, and now it was exposed by Fang Hao, and immediately put down the long knife in his hand, and pulled out a dagger from the side, and respectfully held it up: "Send yours, make amends!" β
The dagger was also cold, it was clearly a good soldier, Wushu turned his eyes, took the dagger, but still shouted to the city management: "This guy provokes, do you care?" β
Fang Hao's face changed suddenly, he didn't expect that Wushu would be so bold!
He revealed the identity of the spy of the vultures, and originally warned him to be careful, but he never thought that the vultures were more daring than he imagined!
In fact, Wushu has a deep meaning, after he arrived on the island, in addition to discovering Fang Hao's "talent", he also noticed that the island is making all-round progress compared to the Jin country.
Therefore, he also wanted to use such a small contradiction to figure out this system of the Song people, if it was used, their Jin Kingdom was in the stage of plagiarism everywhere anyway, so they might as well copy it and use it.
Sure enough, hearing his shouting, the chengguan rushed over, and more than ten people surrounded them. Fang Hao's face was ugly, and he wanted to hide to the side, but he was pulled by Wushu: "You came with me, it's my gang, how can you get out of the matter?" β
This is Wushu's second plan, through this matter, to tie the "great talent" in his mind to Fang Hao with him. In the future, when he reveals his true identity, Fang Hao will be regarded as a spy on the island because of today's events, and he will have to leave with him.
Wushu is a good calculation, but unfortunately, he doesn't know that Fang Hao is neither a great talent, nor does he know Fang Hao's true identity. Fang Hao was afraid of everything, but he was not afraid that Zhou Quan would regard him as a spy.
was pulled by the vultures and couldn't get out, Fang Hao secretly said, "This kid is really strong", and a wry smile appeared on his face: "It was originally a trivial matter, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" (To be continued.) )
