Chapter 0457. Trading, Tianzhu Native Army
"I've seen the supreme Lord Min. [Eye-fast reading book new domain name., initials, previously registered accounts can still be used]"
The leader of the fat businessman is quite polite, Tang Yu is also very standard, and this guy is still an acquaintance of Li Jie, a few years ago, Li Jie's first batch of Uzi steel was bought in his hands, and the firecrackers and swords made are still in Li Jie's hands and the generals' waists.
The cooperation with Li Jie has also made this small businessman who used to defecate and defecate at will on the streets of Chang'an and was handcuffed by Jin Wuwei to show the public to grow into a big businessman today, and now he is the elder of the Nantianzhu Iron Guild.
"You seem familiar, you are ......"
"Your Highness, the little one is Justin. Bieber, the small one on the streets of Chang'an that year, His Royal Highness rescued the little one, have you forgotten? The fat face smiled like a chrysanthemum, and the big businessman was full of flattery, but Li Jie almost didn't squirt out when he heard this name, Justin. Bieber, when will you bring me another Michael? Jackson, huh?
With a strange face, looking at a large group of smiling Tianzhu merchants, it was a long time before Li Jie reluctantly came back to his senses from this name and asked, "Do you want to see Lone?" ”
"Your Highness is a born saint, descending on my Tianzhu to liberate Bengal from the stupid and rude Skola Karman, we all feel the glory and have come to celebrate Your Highness with gifts."
Tianzhu people are really real, smiled and said, clapped their hands, and sent a lot of boxes at the door.
The first box was opened, and the scorching cold light in the sun immediately dazzled, and after a flash of the eldest grandson, Xiao Man'er and Yang Xinyi, the horse's eyes lit up, and one of them picked up a handful, which was indeed a steel knife with a confused pattern and a sharp spirit.
The world's famous sword, Damascus knife, the unique craftsmanship of Persian craftsmen even makes people forget his original origin in India.
The beautiful one seems to be a magic spell and the cross moire is densely covered on it, the blade is sharp, the iron is broken and the armor is not broken, the Persian style of the knife handle is a lion swallowing the mouth, domineering and eye-catching, a total of six knives, different forms but all of them are good products, happy that the three girls are greedy one of them all in their arms, frightened to look at the sharp blade than on the soft chest of the eldest grandson, Li Jie hurriedly nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice.
"This gift, I received it, I received it!"
Seeing the happy appearance of several princesses of Fujian, Justin and several big businessmen were also smiling.
"And here." Justin hurriedly pushed away another box, and the black oil was not as brilliant as just now, but it was even more outstanding, all of which were high-quality Uzi steel blocks.
Persian lapis lazuli, local pearl rubies, Greek textiles, Roman wine, and even two large diamonds from Africa, crystal clear, cone-shaped large diamonds in the sun reflect colorful brilliance, more than the stars of South Africa in later generations, so that Li Jie's eyes in his hand are green.
It's still a merchant brother, it's like a large number of monks just now, as soon as the upper and lower lips open and close, they will leave Li Jie's land, and close all ten boxes, seeing that Li Jie is so satisfied that the servants move into the mansion, several merchants are also happy.
However, after accepting the things, Li Jie turned around with a smile and said: "The king of things has received it, thank you for your enthusiasm, this king is busy with business, so I won't send it." ”
After speaking, leading a few equally satisfied girls, Li Jie turned around and went back to the study with a smile, which made Justin a few dumbfounded, stunned for a long time, and didn't care about any face, Justin twisted his fat body and hurriedly rushed up.
"Your Highness, stay here, the villain still has no business to discuss!"
Sure enough, there is no idiot's lunch in the world, and several big businessmen are not idiots, so they cheekily got a lunch in the Minwang Mansion, roast duck, steamed fish, tofu soup, Li Jie's lunch was quite sumptuous, but when it came to the business to be discussed, Li Jie's face became bitter.
"You want to buy lone prisoners of war?"
"King Min is wise." Several big businessmen immediately nodded and laughed like a litter of fat mice.
This time Li Jie came back from Wangshe City, the autumn wind swept half of the leaves of the army swept through the Northeast Tianzhu, from the various rebellious jungle tribes, a total of nearly 200,000 Tianzhu tribes were captured in the village, and the soldiers forced this group of people to build a stone road from Wangshe City to Sudagang, and now the construction of the road has come to an end, these people are a tempting big cheese.
Several big businessmen are the heads of the guilds, and they are interested in the profits brought by the free trade of Fujian, and now they have moved the workshop to Sudagang, and they have commodity raw materials and sales channels, and what they lack is labor, especially Justin's iron, which needs labor to maintain, so as soon as Li Jie came back, this group of merchants surrounded like flies that smelled fishy.
It's a pity, but Li Jie shook his head with a sad face: "I can't sell it." ”
"Why?" This time, I can't care about the king or not, I can't buy people after giving such a big gift, and I can't do it when I go back to Justin, the boss of the guild, full of shock and depression, this guy jumped up anxiously.
Li Jie was also quite helpless: "The lonely king lacks soldiers." ”
"Half of Lone's troops have been scattered in the northeast Tianzhu to maintain rule, then Luo Shun will definitely fight back, there must be a fierce battle at that time, in order to maintain the commercial order of Fujian, Min must win, so Lone has to recruit troops from these captives, without enough troops, he can't keep the current territory, everything is in vain."
It is true that the convenient business conditions of Fujian require Fujian to establish a foothold in Tianzhu, but when Fujian has a foothold, the powerful business groups of Datang should also be killed, and then these local businessmen can only seek a place in the fierce competition of Datang, and the advantage is much smaller all of a sudden.
However, they have already shifted their positions, Li Jie failed and suffered even greater losses, becoming a dead knot, a few fat Tianzhu merchants frowned sadly, Li Jie himself finished a meal with a smile, and it was impossible to go back with gifts, making a lot of things for nothing, who was not happy.
The face was sad, after eating, these big guild merchants said goodbye to King Min, and walked all the way out, the most depressed was Justin, this matter was his head, so he shook his fat belly, this guy also walked in the rear, King Min's palace in Sudagang is the highest position in the city, and you can see the port sea with your head high.
Looking at the five major rivers of the Ganges tributary flowing down into the sea, and then looking at the warship group anchored on the seaside, which is even larger than Sudagang, a spiritual light flashed in Justin's mind.
"Your Highness, if the small one can find a suitable class of troops for you, can you sell this batch of captive slaves to the small one and other trading houses?" Full of excitement, Justin turned his head and rushed back, but Li Jie was startled, and nodded his head......
In a blink of an eye, another two months have passed, and in May on the Tianzhu Continent, the temperature has become obviously hot, but this heat has not discouraged people's enthusiasm to come to Tianzhu.
It is indeed as rich as the rumors, the shops are all over the ground, the goods are dazzling, piled up, all kinds of colors, and the city is clean and tidy, there is a public toilet after a while, and the fifth class of untouchable people in Tianzhu are hired to clean all the year round, and the Japanese warriors patrol back and forth in the city in armor, and catch the Tianzhu people who defecate everywhere, without saying a word, according to the ground, it is a big whip on the ground.
However, to their disappointment, like the shops, the local area is also full of workshops, the workshops directly under the Min Wangfu and the workshops of the Tianzhu guild are stained with the entire tributary of the Ganges estuary, and bursts of black smoke continue to rise from above, representing pollution in later generations, and this era is representing wealth, and the local shop resources have almost been carved up.
However, after gritting their teeth, many businessmen went to King Minxing with gifts, where Qin Qing, who had been waiting for a long time, smiled like a little fox spirit and opened the account book that had been prepared.
On the other hand, Li Jie stayed in the school field early in the scorching heat, and these days, a new branch of the United Nations army in the Minwang Mansion has been added, the Tianzhu Tu Army.
A thousand years later, when the British conquered India, the British army was only 40,000 people, and most of the conquest wars were fought by cheap Indian Turkish infantry, and it can be said that the real conquest of the Indian Mughal Dynasty was 180,000 Indian native soldiers.
The big sun umbrella covered the command platform, Rao was like this, Li Jie and Changsun Zhi were both tanned a little, but even if they were dizzy from the heat, the first king and the first queen were still half nailed here, with a serious face.
With the rumbling of the snare drums, the sound of neat footsteps began to sound on the school field, and then several military formations strode meteors appeared on the school field, and with the shouts and voices of the Tang Army officers, they marched neatly, facing the scorching sun, like a black ocean.
Although these people are also wearing the Tang Army's standard iron-inlaid infantry armor, it can be clearly seen that these people are different from the Tang people, and even different from any of the current armies of the Tang Dynasty, with fair skin, brown eyes, brown curly hair, tall and handsome face, and they are quite serious and serious in the military formation, unlike those untrained and messy Tianzhutu militia.
There are four such phalanxes, plus a total of 20,000 people, these are all Punjabis who Justin came to Li Jie for Li Jie, and the warship walked around Tianzhu, or it is not appropriate to call them Punjabis in this era, these people should be a combination of Greeks, Sabbatians and Serbs.
Justin went to the northwest of Tianzhu to sell Uzi steel in his early years, and was familiar with the poor Punjab tribes who were suffering from the war, and later the iron guild needed to deal with Punjab, this fat man was really adventurous, and first mortgaged the guild treasury to Li Jie in exchange for more than 10,000 captive slaves to start work first, relying on this relationship and Li Jie's military salary conditions, Justin was stunned to help Li Jie say that he moved seven or eight tribes and raised enough soldiers for 20,000 people.
What a soldier! The Greeks have produced heavy infantry since ancient times, Punjab has been at war for many years, in order to compete for limited production resources, there are frequent battles between tribes, Greek combat skills, resting combat skills, and the fighting skills of the Serbs are integrated into the veins of these people.
In addition to the 20,000 Punjabi people, relying on the relationship of the big businessmen in Nantianzhu, Li Jie also recruited a full 40,000 Nantianzhu Louqi infantry, and the Punjabi elite soldiers appeared after they walked through, although they were still much worse than the Punjabi, but these soldiers from the harsh climate of the Deccan Plateau also had a strong spirit, and basically met the requirements of Li Jie's second-line army in the rear of the garrison.
Moreover, there was a confrontation between the north and the south of Tianzhu, during the period of the Ring of the Japanese Dynasty, the king of the Ring of the Sun Harsha and the king of Chalou and the king of Chalou Purak Sin, there was a great war, and the Punjabs composed of Greeks and Serbs did not believe in the caste system and did not believe in the Brahmins, Li Jie was not afraid that they would collude with the local Brahmins or be influenced by them, so it can be said that this army was much more reasonable than recruiting troops from the captives, although it cost a lot of extra money.
Just when Li Jie nodded with satisfaction, suddenly there was a lot of smoke and dust in the northwest direction, and in the blink of an eye, a cavalry rushed over from far and near.
"Wangshe City Urgent!".
