Lu Renbing was in Dali City, and asked the craftsman to give his sword a layer of gold, and the scabbard was also pasted with bright gold sheets. If you want to be famous, of course, you have to have a mark that people remember. Zhao Zhijing himself has a mediocre face, is there any other sign, if you want to become famous quickly, getting an iconic weapon is the best shortcut.

After getting the golden sword and golden sheath, Lu Renbing pulled out his sword and a sword flower in the sun, and the coquettish golden sword body was dazzling.

Lu Renbing was satisfied and nodded. I bought a Dian horse suitable for mountain trekking and started all the way east. Along the way, he picked out the cottages that were all kinds of bad statements, from Dali to Panyu, the golden swordsman Zhao Zhijing picked up 54 cottages in a row, and killed more than 200 evil bandits, these cottages were not disbanded, but were replaced by Lu Renbing, and the structure continued to be entrenched in the original cottage. Handle all the main roads. Lu Renbing also gave these cottages the task of spreading the reputation of the golden swordsman Zhao Zhijing.

This is how the reputation of the Golden Swordsman crisscrossing the rivers and lakes and eliminating violence and peace and goodness spread.

Lu Renbing selected good players from various cottages and followed them all the way, and these people played under the banner of Changfeng Dart Bureau. By the time they arrived in Panyu, the number of dart masters in the Changfeng Dart Bureau had exceeded 420. The Changfeng Dart Bureau also opened up the trade route from Panyu to Dali. The dart game drove all over the towns that Lu Renbing passed by.

Lu Renbing stayed in Panyu for a year, the overseas trade of the Southern Song Dynasty was more developed than that of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Lu Renbing, who had plenty of money, bought ships in Panyu and recruited sailors to build his own merchant ships and dart bureaus.

The war in the north continued, and the land of Fujian and Guangdong, deep in the hinterland of the south, was fully developed. The Southern Song Dynasty encouraged overseas trade, and the Great Song Dynasty porcelain, silk, tinware, paper, and tea were all bulk goods for export.

The trade objects of the Southern Song Dynasty were mainly Southeast Asian countries, and the trade in South Asia, Arabia, and Europe was mainly monopolized by Arab merchants. The ships of the Song people were originally crisscrossing the South China Sea, the sea conditions in the Indian Ocean were complicated, the routes were unknown, and there were not many people who dared to break through. Therefore, Lu Renbing's fleet mainly runs this route.

Lu Renbing spent a lot of money to build a large fleet of 30 ships, stocked 100,000 at a time, recruited more than 1,000 sailors, and began to march along the accumulated routes of Lu Renbing's martial arts world. Lu Renbing personally led the team, which lasted a year before it was transferred, and the Malays, Indians, and Arabs traded directly, making dozens of times the profit, and Lu Renbing bought the local sea ships, goods and specialties, precious stones, gold and silver, spices, etc.

The 30 ships at the time of the trip have expanded to 60 ships, and the crew also includes sailors from all countries along the way. It's a multinational fleet.

Jewelry and spices are all popular commodities in Da Song, and the funds were quickly returned.

The golden swordsman Zhao Zhijing became a famous maritime merchant in Panyu, which is different from the traditional routine of ordinary maritime merchants who buy land and build houses after making money. The experienced Lu Renbing once again fell into the previous routine. Expand the size of the fleet, win over all forces, and throw money around. Yamen officials at all levels in Panyu were stunned by Lu Renbing's generosity.

They were all people who had seen the world, but they were faced with boxes of blue and ruby rubies, gold and silver jewelry, and bags of pepper and spices. These big and small officials also had to deal with Zhao Daguan, and after Zhao Zhijing entered Panyu, he changed into civilian clothes and no longer dressed as a Taoist priest. After returning from the sea trade, he donated the rank of military attache of the commander of the Qiongzhou Navy Army, which was nondescript and had no station, all of which were the benefits of money to open the way.

Practice? It's still good to practice within that public gate. The reputation of the rivers and lakes, the identity of officialdom, and the identity of the Quanzhen Sect do not interfere with each other. In this era, information spreads slowly, and no one knows what the real identity of a person thousands of miles away is.

In 1217, through last year's hard work, Passerby Bing had initially established the organizational structure of the fleet and cultivated his own backbone elements, but Lu Renbing was still not at ease and led the team to sea again.

This time, Lu Renbing's own ships alone were as many as 120, and Lu Renbing also went to sea with the maritime merchants of Fujian and Guangdong, sharing the channel opened up by Lu Renbing.

The sea is very large, and Lu Renbing's own strength alone cannot compete with the fleet of Arab merchants who control the Indian Ocean. Only by allowing more businessmen to participate in the opening of this shipping route will this shipping route last for a long time, and Lu Renbing can rest assured that his fleet will run alone.

This time, as many as 50 maritime merchants followed Lu Renbing to sea, and the total number of large and small ships reached more than 500.

Lu Renbing and these 50 maritime merchants discussed the rules and regulations that should be observed in overseas trade. Lu Renbing shared the charts and shared the large and small bases he had built.

These maritime merchants attending the meeting all paid real money to buy Lu Renbing's shipping route and shares in the stronghold. Relying on these strongholds and shipping routes, Lu Renbing established a maritime trade chamber of commerce: the South China Sea Alliance. Lu Renbing served as the first leader of the South China Sea Alliance.

In the future, this South China Sea alliance monopolized 80 percent of the Southern Song Dynasty's overseas trade volume, and almost all the Arab merchants who occupied a major position in the trade with Afghanistan drove back to their hometowns.

The rules of the South China Sea Alliance have become increasingly strict, and it has also established its own armed escort fleet. Of course, these fleets are in the hands of Lu Renbing.

These are all afterwords, Lu Renbing's second time, he led his ship to sea, and the huge fleet frightened the lords of the small countries in the way. Most of the countries, after the explanation of the envoys, allowed the merchants of the South China Sea Alliance to go ashore to trade. Some countries will not let them live or die, and the fleet trades.

Lu Renbing led and led hundreds of his men to break the capitals of those small countries, capture the king, and plunder the treasury. Then look at the performance of the lord of the country, and if he obeys, he will be released and sign the trade contract. If he was not satisfied, he chopped off his head, replaced himself with an obedient king, and then signed a trade contract.

The merchant who followed the fleet saw the fierce operation of the alliance leader, and at first he felt incredulous. Seeing Lu Renbing again, after cutting off the heads of seven or eight lords one after another, they were all numb. The sense of belonging to the South China Sea Alliance has greatly increased. has a real sense of awe for the ruthless Lu Renbing.

It turns out that Lu Renbing's so-called stronghold was borrowed like this?

Lu Renbing is not worried about what they say about him, as long as the interests are enough and his force is enough to suppress these guys, he is not worried about betrayal. This time to go to sea is another time to sort out the route and team.

The Indian subcontinent is home to many small countries with complex problems. Lu Renbing killed at least 100 people here, so that the local chiefs, big and small, knew their rules. The Arab region is also complex, and ordinary caravans will definitely be swallowed up without even bones.

Khorezm, even the official caravan sent by Genghis Khan was hunted down, you can imagine how bad the form here is.

Those who monopolized the trade between the East and the West, Arab merchants colluded with local officials to make things difficult for Lu Renbing's caravans, and colluded with pirates to attack the fleet. If it weren't for Lu Renbing's many early warnings, these merchant ships would have been buried in the sea long ago.

Lu Renbing initially wanted to settle it peacefully, but after being attacked by trebuchets in a city, he no longer had any illusions. Everywhere he went, Mr. Lu threw money at the expense, co-opted local forces, bribed officials, and cracked down on hostile businessmen. Money is a superpower everywhere. Spending a lot of money can always impress people who can cooperate.

Groups of businessmen who opposed Lu Renbing were killed. Groups of businessmen and officials in the Arab region were drawn closer to the South China Sea Alliance. Only strong ties of interest can lead to lasting friendships.

Those maritime merchants who monopolized the trade in the East blocked the interests of more than one family. Now that this trade route can be shared directly, who cares about a little filial piety from those merchants.

Finally, this trip came down, and Lu Renbing completely stabilized the East-West trade route of the South China Sea Alliance. After killing one after another, Lu Renbing's martial arts were finally integrated, and he truly jumped into the ranks of super-first-class masters. The vastness of the sea broadened Lu Renbing's mind, and the realm of cultivation unconsciously entered the realm of foundation building.
