"Brother Ma Lan, do you know him?" A look of surprise appeared in the bright-eyed girl's eyes.

Ma Ling nodded, he would not hide it from Gao Qianqian.

"They are Kangju people, and I received help from them when I was in Kangju."

"That's a friend!" Gao Qianqian's eyes flashed, and she chuckled and said, "Since we are friends, it is more convenient to cooperate." Hey, don't you say? ”

The purple-haired strong man nodded and said with a smile: "Girl, you said in the day that you are leaning on the general behind your back, who would dare to believe the empty mouth and white teeth?" Now that the general himself is here, we can trust you. Cooperation, naturally, can be discussed. ”

Gao Qianqian smiled: "You know each other." Choose to cooperate with our Ma family firm, this girl guarantees that you will have a lot of money! Relying on this one business, in a few years, you will be the second largest merchant in Qiuzi City. ”

"Who's number one?"

"It's our Ma family firm." Gao Qianqian smiled proudly.

Ma Lan glanced at the purple-haired man, but he hadn't noticed that this Sogdian had a lot of words: "What about your master?" Where are they now? ”

"Is the general asking about the lord or the miss?" The Sogdian man laughed.

Ma Luan immediately turned cold.

"What master, what miss?" The bright-eyed girl chuckled, looking very curious.

Seeing that Ma Lan was angry, the purple-haired strong man didn't dare to rap anymore, and hurriedly said: "Since the general left the river, he has aggressively spread the order to destroy Hu, causing the situation in the river to fluctuate and affect Mulu. My lord and lady were also implicated, besieged by the rioting black-clad cannibals, and almost lost their lives. Later, an order came from Kufa City to the Great Food King, and the Great Cannibal was not allowed to attack the merchants, so the old man and the young lady were able to escape from Mulu City. Most of the guards in the family have been lost, and now the lord and the young lady are temporarily going to Kufa, where they are safer than Mulu. ”

Ma Lan nodded and let out a long breath.

Originally, he thought that Kang Lin'er would come here, but when he was on the way, he was even eager to see this Sogdian girl with clear and clean eyes again. Now that I know that Kang Lin'er didn't come, I can't help but feel a little lost in my heart.

However, what he was most worried about was Kang Lin'er's life and death, and now that Kang Lin'er was confirmed to be safe, he was also relieved.

As the ancestor of the black-clothed food, Abu. Abbas is worthy of a generation of wise men and is quite magnanimous. He slaughtered and cannibalized people in the river, but he did not choose to retaliate.

In such a situation, it would have been wise for Abbas to prohibit the Great Cannibals from taking revenge on the Sogdians, but it would have been under great pressure. And if his orders can be obeyed in Mulu, it means that the Mulu people have not betrayed him and are still obeying his orders.

This illustrates the and. Posirin's deathbed words did not make a real wave in Khorasan. The Persians did not rebel against Abbasid rule as he had hoped, and the Great Food Nation was not completely divided within itself.

"Looks like I'm overestimating and. Posilin's influence among the Persians. After all, the Abbas brothers are the descendants of the real family of prophets, and it is not so easy for the cannibals to take refuge in Hu Dajiu, so it is not so easy for them to stand up against the Abbas brothers. ”

From the purple-haired strong man's short words, Ma Lan quickly judged the situation west of the Wuhu River. It turned out that the information obtained from Hu Shang was only limited to the land in the river.

It doesn't seem that many Persians responded and. Posilin's words, the rebellion against Abbas's rule, supported the great scholar Sadiq. This made Ma Lan extremely regretful, as the founder of the country in black, Abu. Abbas is really not so easy to deal with.

It is also completely understandable that on top of the original history, when Taizong Mansour announced and. When Posilin was a traitor, the entire army and people of Khorasan betrayed him, so much so that he was not killed. Posilin had to go to Mansur to plead guilty, but was killed by Mansour. The living and. Posilin could not shake the position of the Abbasid brothers among the Persians, let alone the dead and . Posilin. There is no shortage of ambitious guys in Kufa City, but careerists also know how to judge the situation and take their own lives casually.

The Persians were not divided, and the intransigence of the land in the river was more dangerous. If the Great Eclipse moves the troops of the country to attack, he will definitely not be able to resist it.

How strong the guards of the Kang million family were, Ma Lan had seen with his own eyes, and most of the guards of the Kang family had lost, and it was obvious that the number of Persians who attacked them was extremely large. was able to escape this catastrophe safely, and Kang Lin'er was lucky. Although she is skilled in martial arts, her personal martial arts are of little use in the riots.

"The lord and the young lady bought a manor outside the city of Kufa and made their home there for the time being. The paper I brought with me this time was produced in the estate. The lord said, according to the agreement, it is time to settle the bill with the general, so he ordered me to come to Anxi, in addition to opening the Anxi and Central Plains markets, the main thing is to come to see the general. ”

"Checkout? What to check? Although Gao Qianqian didn't understand the purple-haired man's other words, she immediately came to her senses when she heard the word checkout.

The purple-haired strong man glanced at Gao Qianqian, and then at Ma Lu.

Ma Lan said: "This is my wife, you don't have to avoid her." ”

The purple-haired strong man nodded with a smile, ordered the man to insert the door panel, and asked people to take out a few heavy boxes from the inner room and put them in front of Ma Lu.

Gao Qianqian stepped forward to open the box, and the next moment her eyes immediately straightened.

Several boxes are full of gold and silver coins of the Great Cannibal, which are worth at least 100,000 yuan if they are exchanged for copper coins!

Gao Qianqian instantly estimated the value of this batch of wealth in her heart, and her eyes bent up with joy: "Brother Ma Lan, is this all ours?" ”

"Ma'am, this is all the property of the General." The purple-haired strong man said with a smile, "My lord and the general have an agreement, and forty percent of the income of our Kangjia paper mill belongs to the general, and it will be delivered once a year." This is 40% of the income obtained by the paper mill this year, all of which belong to the general, of course, that is, Mrs. You. ”

Gao Qianqian grabbed a piece of golden dinar, put it in her mouth and bit it hard, knowing that it was real gold, she laughed happily.

The Ma family continued to expand the workshop to buy shops, and the copper coins were spent like silk, and the money was not enough. Now she often needs to buy raw materials on credit, and such a large amount of money is a relief in the snow, which instantly solves her urgent need.

However, she suddenly realized a problem, and frowned: "Brother Ma Lan, why do they want to share forty percent of our profits?" ”

Ma Lan smiled: "Because the formula of this paper was originally given to them by me." ”

"Do you have a recipe for this paper? Then what else do we need them to do, just make it ourselves. Gao Qianqian said urgently.

The purple-haired man grinned and smiled bitterly.

Ma Xuan said: "That's not good, I have a promise to them, and what you need most is integrity." ”

"That's right."

Gao Qianqian nodded, and said with some regret: "Since this is the case, then that's it." It's a pity that we could have monopolized this business, and with this kind of paper, we could have made a lot of money, but now we have to give them so much! ”

She has now completely entered the role of a businessman, and she also understands that the most important thing for a businessman is credit. Hu businessmen can go back and forth between the mountains and things, relying on credit. Since Ma Lan has made a promise, she can only give up no matter how reluctant she is.

More than 100,000 yuan is also a huge amount for Ma Lan, and it takes more than a dozen yuan to be auctioned to get it. Now is the time of war, Kang Million can earn so much from the paper mill in a short period of time, and the means can be seen.

This also shows the need for paper for the big cannibals, after all, the big food is not a barbarian, the big food in white and the big food in black clothes have a brilliant civilization, and the country of civilization naturally needs paper very much.

Gao Qianqian looked at the gold and silver coins, and suddenly said: "Forty percent of the income was exchanged for the formula by Brother Ma Lan." Now the two of us are cooperating to open a workshop here to make this kind of paper, and I will help you sell this paper to Chang'an, and also sell it to the entire Central Plains. Even if I didn't do anything, my family had 40% of the income, but now after the cooperation, we want to increase our share. ”

"That's nature. It's easy to say about the share, but the matter of production can only be our responsibility, and your people must not interfere with it, nor do you steal this skill. When it comes to business, the purple-haired man is also uncompromising.

"Yes." Gao Qianqian nodded, "Then settle down." We are responsible for the workshop site and the market in the Central Plains, and you are responsible for the production, and this part of the profit is equally divided. As for the settlement between you and my eldest brother Ma Lan, that is another matter, and it has nothing to do with this part. ”

"Good. However, the profits that you and I share equally are limited to the profits east of the Green Ridge. What was handed over to General Ma Lan was all the proceeds of the entire Kang Kee Paper Mill, including the part of Hezhong and Dashi. ”

"That's exactly how it should be." Gao Qianqian said with a smile.

Ma Luan had a big head when he heard these things, and he was relieved to see that the two had finalized the cooperation in a few words.

He is not good at these things, but with Gao Qianqian, he can't suffer.

In fact, after the war, he didn't expect that Kang Million would come to fulfill his promise to deliver his wealth, and this hundreds of thousands of dollars was already an unexpected joy for him.

Looking at the purple-haired man, Ma Ling asked, "You can call the shots about the affairs of the Kang family?" ”

"Since the lord and the young lady sent me, I will naturally be able to call the shots." The purple-haired man said with a smile, "In the short term, the lord and the young lady will stay in Kufa, and they will be ready to make friends with the king of the big food, so that the paper mill will have a bigger market, and they will not come to Anxi in the short term." I'm in charge of the business here, and the lady specifically told me to obey the general's orders here. ”

Ma Lan said: "So I can order you to do things for me?" ”

The purple-haired strong man smiled and nodded: "The Kang family came here this time with more than five hundred people, and brought more than three hundred camels. The young lady has given us orders, and the general needs our service, and he can do it at any time. ”

Ma Lan nodded, a smile on his face.
