When he came to the restaurant, Mike served two sumptuous tables to his buddies.

One table is Mike and Jiang Long's.

At the other table sat Tudu, Gunty Bak, Fan Ren, and several of Mike's bodyguards.

In Mike's hometown, the aristocracy would not dine at the same table with his entourage, and it was also a strict hierarchy.

Jiang Long chatted with Mike while drinking and eating.

Mainly ask Mike's hometown.

Mike saw that Jiang Long was very generous, and he could buy all his wine at once, and he didn't accept bribes that he stuffed, and he also had the intention to have some friendship with Jiang Long.

In the future, if every time you pull goods, Jianglong can buy them all in Lingtong County, which can save a lot of time.

And for caravans, time is money!

Jiang Long inquired and found that Mike's hometown was similar to Europe in his previous life.

Then I asked about the customs, lifestyle, and military affairs.

Mike didn't hide it and told everything he knew.

That's not to say that Mike doesn't have a plan.

Rather, Mike thinks that his hometown is far away from Daqi, and that it is either separated by an endless sea or a desert wasteland.

There will be no possibility of war at all.

I think it's okay to tell Jiang Long.

Jiang Long listened with relish, until he heard that Mike's hometown iron-making technique was far more than the same as Qi, his eyes lit up.

With the right steel, you can make guns.

And with guns in their own hands, Jing Fu naturally didn't have to be afraid of the imperial court anymore.

It is not difficult to seize the Great Qi River.

However, once a large-scale war breaks out, it will cause a large number of casualties.

Jiang Long frowned tightly, and after a moment, he regained his composure.

Society must progress and civilization must develop...... Even if you don't make guns yourself, there will be smart people who will invent them in the future.

The Great Qi Jianglong has been inherited for hundreds of years, and the disadvantages are too deep, and one day, it will be overthrown by others.

The most important thing is that the emperor and the crown prince both hate Jingfu.

If you don't resist, you can't wait for death?

"How much is the monthly silver of the blacksmith in your factory?"

Mike immediately replied: "There are high and low monthly cases, if it is a master master, it is about two taels of silver." ”

Two taels in a month, twenty-four taels a year.

Jiang Long thought for a while and said, "Then can you help me find a few blacksmith masters?" The higher the skill, the better, and when I come here, I will give him a hundred taels of silver every month!

In addition, he can also bring his own apprentices with him, and I will pay him separately. ”

"This ......" Mike was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "This place is too far away from my small hometown, and I am not used to eating anything, although a hundred taels a year is already a lot, but it is not easy to move those masters to come." ”

Being able to be a master is enough to live a prosperous life in Mike's hometown.

Life is peaceful, peaceful, and ordinary people will not take any more risks.

You must know that the road is walking step by step from Mike's hometown to here, and on the way you have to pass through endless deserts, endless savannahs, and the endless Gobi Desert.

There are sandstorms in the desert, which can blow people into the sky, bury them alive, and make people lose their way.

There is no water source, and people can die of thirst.

The savannah is home to many ferocious predators such as steppe wolves.

The Gobi Desert is boundless, and if you lose your way, you will starve to death and die of thirst.

This is a natural and dangerous disaster, and in addition to this, you will also encounter horse bandits, bandits, and so on.

Even if you greet the noble officials of many countries on the way and stuff it with silver, it is possible that you will be blacked out.

So coming here from Mike's hometown is a difficult and dangerous road.

If one is not good, it will lose a small life.

"One hundred and fifty taels!" Jiang Long thought about it and opened his mouth to increase the price.

It's true that without a high enough salary, it's hard to impress people to take the plunge.

Brother Mai's eyes lit up when he heard this, "If it's one hundred and fifty taels, someone should take a risk." ”

"Then there's Mike Laure." Jiang Long bowed his hand politely.

Mike immediately returned the salute, flattered, he knew that the Taoist attaches great importance to scholars, and looks down on merchants and craftsmen.

He came to Daqi to do business, and he had never met an official who was so polite to him.

So he gritted his teeth and said: "Please rest assured that after the little one goes back, he will definitely persuade a few more blacksmith masters to come here to do things." ”

Jiang Long thanked him again and again.

"The county commander has purchased the goods of the caravan here, so that the small one can save a lot of time, and the small one estimates that in two years, he will be able to come to Lingtong County again, I don't know when the adult will ......" Mike's words were not finished, but the meaning was self-evident.

Businessmen are heavy on profits, and they can't help you in vain.

"At that time, the official should still be serving here, and when you come, I will buy all the wines!" Jiang Long said happily: "The price can be one percent higher than this time!" ”

One percent?

Mike is excited!

One percent is not one point.

That's nearly 10,000 taels of silver!

Mike promised that he would definitely bring in a blacksmith.

And I have already made a calculation in my heart, if no one comes voluntarily, I will have to use some means at that time.

Jiang Long saw Mike's eyes flickering, and took a sip of his wine glass.

The benefit to Mike is to make him do his best.

As for what method Mike uses, whether he will do something harmful, he doesn't care.

Jianglong only cares about results!

At this banquet, everyone was very happy.

After leaving the restaurant, Jiang Long returned to the county office, and Qin Yu, who had not been seen for a few days, suddenly stepped forward to salute.

A herd of wild horses was found before, and Heirui killed the leader of the wild horse herd and became the new leader.

As a result, Qin Yu followed Hei Rui into the prairie, and it had been several days.

"Hurry up." Jiang Long stepped forward to help Qin Yu with his own hands, looked up and down, and saw that Qin Yu was still very strong, not like he had suffered too much, this was the kind of relief he was relieved, "How have you been in the prairie these days, you have worked hard!"

Are there any dangers? ”

"Thank you for your concern." Qin Yu hugged his fists with emotion, and then said: "The little one didn't suffer much, and he didn't encounter any danger, the only thing that makes people uncomfortable is that there are too many mosquitoes and flies in the grassland, and the people who bite are full of red envelopes."

But fortunately, the weather is cold at night, and you can wrap your whole body with clothes, otherwise you may not even be able to sleep. ”

There are many mosquitoes in the grass.

And these mosquitoes, in turn, like to fly among the herds of horses.

After a few more words, Jiang Long asked where the wild horses were.

Qin Yu said happily: "The little one has already asked Hei Rui to bring the wild horse herd into the fence that was surrounded last time. ”

"So obedient?" Jiang Long was a little surprised.

Qin Yu explained in detail.

It turned out that after Qin Yu entered the grassland, he had been using his brains to make the wild horses obedient as soon as possible.

In the end, the plan that came to mind was to let Hei Ruitou lead the way from time to time, and not always follow the customary route of the wild horse herd.

In the beginning, there were not many mustangs that followed Hery.

He would get angry and rush into the herd and kick some of the sturdy stallions.

Every time you hit a horse, the next time you change the route, there will be more wild horses obediently following.

In this way, again and again, in the end, the dark horse can control the entire wild horse herd.

After turning back, Qin Yu went straight to Hei Rui to bring the wild horse herd into the sturdy fence.

"Well, that's good!" Jiang Long praised.

Qin Yu scratched his head happily.

captured this wild horse herd and sold it to the black-clothed guards, and it was tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"Come back this time, you can rest for a few days and run errands." Jiang Long gave Qin Yu a holiday.

However, Qin Yu was anxious and said: "Little Young Master heard from Xiao Xiao, after Xiao Xiao followed the wild horse herd into the prairie this time, he also encountered several larger wild horse herds, and the largest one had at least 10,000 wild knives, so I want to ask the little young master for approval, let Xiao Rui take Hei Rui into the depths of the prairie again, and catch more wild horses for you to come back." ”

Jiang Long was first excited when he heard this.

But then he frowned.

It was too dangerous to let Qin Yu ride Hei Rui into the prairie alone!

If you accidentally run into an alien, or if you encounter a pack of wolves......

"We'll talk about that later." Jiang Long waved his hand.

"Little master!" Qin Yu was anxious.

"Those wild horses have been living in the savannah, even if they go a few days late to catch them, it's nothing." Jiang Long opened his mouth to reassure, "And the grassland is boundless and very vast, what if you can't get out after you go in?" ”

Following the herd of wild horses, there are naturally wild horses to lead the way.

Without wild horses, after entering the savannah, it is likely to go around and around, and you will not be able to walk out for the rest of your life.

"This little young master can rest assured, the little one has made a lot of marks along the way." Qin Yu said.

Jiang Long shook his head slightly, "What can you do?" Dig a hole in the ground? This is absolutely not good, the grass is lush on the grassland, and after a few days, all the marks you have made will be covered.

Unless you can plant some trees, but I don't think the aliens will agree. ”

Aliens live in the savannah and naturally have a sense of direction.

When it comes to military strength, the aliens are naturally inferior to the Great Qi, but the Great Qi army does not dare to go deep into the prairie to fight.

One of the main reasons is that after the Great Qi army enters the prairie, it will not argue the direction.

If a tree is planted, the aliens will definitely cut it down.

Qin Yu was indeed digging a pit to make a mark, and frowned when he heard this.

"You go down and rest first, and those wild horses won't run away." Jiang Long reached out and patted Qin Yu's shoulder.

"Hmm." Qin Yu bowed and retreated.

Late at night, Jiang Long saw the black-clothed guard.

When the black-clothed guard heard that he had caught more than 2,500 wild horses, he was very happy, and he bought them at a price of thirty taels of silver each.

And said that the more wild horses you catch, the better!

Jiang Long saw the surprise in the eyes of the black-clothed guard, it was not just as simple as making a difference.

But he didn't ask much.

"This horse's silver can be slowed down, but early tomorrow morning, you must send me 100,000 taels of silver first."

Filtering the brine salt for the Black Guard Church, Jiang Long's silver hasn't been enough.

The black-clothed guard did not hesitate and immediately responded, "Yes!" ”

Recently, he has been in the private salt business, and the black guards have made a lot of money.

Jiang Long was very satisfied with the attitude of the black-clothed guard, and then said with a smile: "Wait for Young Master Ben to make a trick for you." ”

Let's make a teacup of ice according to the steps of the daytime.

The black-clothed guard's eyes widened, his eyes full of incredulity.

"The reason why you asked you to come here with 100,000 taels of silver is because I just bought 20,000 catties of wine, and you said that in this big summer, if you use chilled wine and then sell it, can you make money?" Jiang Long asked with a smile.

"Of course you can!"

Hearing the wine, the black guard's eyes lit up, he naturally drank it.

In the summer, the weather is hot, and it is really enjoyable to have a glass of cold wine.

And he also clearly knows that even if he doesn't need to be chilled, it is very cost-effective to buy 20,000 catties of wine with 100,000 taels of silver.
