Chapter 130: Wooden Box
Although there are more than two months of Lifu, the commercial market that has been built is ten miles away.
According to the two miles as a square, it is divided into strange treasures, strange treasures, and sea questions... and so on, and several other markets are still under construction.
Different from the residential houses and commercial markets in the ten counties of the Zhangguo Basin, which are mostly built with wooden tile structures, the fang markets of Yufu are all made of boulders and good woods, and the bottom foundation is more than ten zhang deep into the ground, and the thick liquid that is boiled with a large amount of glutinous rice, gum and egg white between the stones is adhered together, which is simply mixed together from the appearance and looks indestructible.
In addition, the more than 160 miles of sea area that extends from more than a fan to the outward surface are all occupied by Zhang Huansheng's primordial gods, and now they all belong to the water waves that he bestows, and the second servant Da Kun is controlled, and there is no possibility of any violent storms along the coast, and everything is naturally foolproof.
After two or three teas, Zhang Huansheng has been strolling in this business market where Zhang Guo has built some shapes in just half a year.
His eyes were unusually noisy, and the front hall was almost full, and without waiting for the guy to approach, Zhang Huansheng walked quickly to a table of tea and snacks that had already been set up, but did not move at all, and asked, "Are you the distinguished guests invited by the master of Qingyue?" ”
There were four men and three women at the table, all of whom were polite and polite, six of them were all young and strong, and there was an old man who had been looking at him since Zhang Huansheng entered the door. ”
"The old man is polite." Not familiar with each other, Zhang Huansheng casually said politely, then sat down on the empty seat opposite the old man, and asked straight to the point: "I don't know what is the important matter for a few people who have crossed thousands of miles and traveled overseas to see me?" ”
Hearing this, the people exchanged glances with each other, and the old man smiled and replied, "I don't know if I don't come, the gentleman has really made a big business overseas."
In just half a year, a city of this scale has been built in a neutral country on an isolated island, a port has been opened and traded..."
When Zhang Huansheng heard this, he waved his hand and interjected: "If it is the cultivation that is praised by the old man, I will be ashamed, but it is really not my credit that this city can be created, but a great political talent that I was lucky enough to accept, and I created it single-handedly." ”
"There are such strange things," the old man said with a curious look when he heard this, "Can you smell it in detail?" ”
"It's a strange thing to say," Zhang Huansheng said in a slow voice, "Not long after I established a country overseas, I found a wrecked giant ship on a stormy night, which was rushed to the shore by the stormy waves.
After rescuing the few surviving people, I realized that the ship was actually a merchant ship that had lost its conscience and sold my descendants of Yan and Huang to the Western Qin Continent as slaves..."
As soon as he said this, he suddenly heard a young man sitting next to him widen his eyes and asked curiously: "A slave is worth a few dollars, and it is worth it to transport food and drink for tens of thousands of miles to sell?" ”
Zhang Huansheng glanced at the young man deeply when he heard this, and then looked at the old man on the opposite side with a slight change in expression, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, smiled slightly, and replied first: "The laws and customs of the Western Qin are said to be different from my Yanhuang, although there are many wars, the captured prisoners cannot be reduced to slaves at will, but need to be redeemed by them, so the slaves are scarce, and they are worth a lot."
In addition, those slave traders who had a way to do it were all in collusion with the barbarian tribes, and the people and goods they sold were defeated and captured soldiers, craftsmen with craftsmanship, and beautiful women who were selected from a thousand, and the price of one could be worth ten or a hundred reprimanded slaves, and a boatload of thousands of people was transported over, and the profit was not more than a million.
For example, among the few people I rescued in the shipwreck that day, there was a border doctor named Sen Xuanji, who was born in the branch of the Quanguo clan, who was well versed in herdsmen and governance, and was especially good at economics. ”
"I see," hearing this, the old man sitting opposite Zhang Huansheng suddenly smiled, and said with deep meaning: "Soon after the founding of the country, the gentleman met such a great sage because of the shipwreck, and the depth of the luck was like Mu Gong's five ransom for a hundred miles..."
"Why should my husband be so tempted." Zhang Huansheng's face turned grim when he heard this, and he interrupted the old man's words and said: "Since the ancestor has promised to dedicate Zhang Guo to the Jiang family, how can I be stingy and ruin his reputation for preserving the green history."
Besides, in this overseas isolated island, the foundation is insufficient, it is really bittersweet and self-aware, outsiders come here to look like prosperity, but in fact, a beast disaster may destroy everything.
You don't see, as soon as commerce and trade flourished, I ordered someone to build a pass to isolate the Fang Market near the sea from the hinterland of Zhangguo, the reason is that I feel that the military equipment is really insufficient, lest those mercenary maritime merchants see through the truth and collude with the bandits to plunder...
Hey, in short, whether it was three months ago or now, I will only obey the name of my ancestors, and if you have any requirements, you just have to say it bluntly. ”
Hearing this, the old man's face turned pale, and he respectfully left the table and said: "I spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, I am really ashamed and unspeakable, first ask the gentleman for forgiveness." ”
"Eat the king's millet, be loyal to the king," Zhang Huansheng smiled and said: "What the old man said is not his own, so what is the crime..."
The two politely talked for a while, but still didn't discuss the matter, until they called for wine and food, and after eating and drinking, and after they were full, the old man invited Zhang Huansheng out of the inn and strolled to a large and small sea ship on the seaside.
With a bright moon on his head, he said softly with a slight drunkenness: "Gentleman, don't look at this ship as inconspicuous, but in fact there are extraordinary features, with it, most of the troubles you mentioned about overseas countries can be solved." ”
Zhang Huansheng was stunned when he heard this, and asked in a lost voice: "What is so magical inside?" ”
"Let me sell it for the time being, and I can make a trick for the gentleman to see." The old man replied with a smile, and then raised his voice and shouted to the ship, "Boys, don't hurry up and unload the goods." ”
As the words landed, more than a dozen hanging ladders suddenly hung down on the ship, and hundreds of boatmen and sailors hurriedly carried many three-foot square wooden boxes to the dock.
When they finished unloading the goods, the old man bowed his hand to Zhang Huansheng and said with a smile: "Please ask the gentleman to find some mules and horses to transport these boxes to an empty and unoccupied place." ”
Seeing his mysterious appearance, Zhang Huansheng didn't say much, and directly showed his identity in the harbor, mobilized the carriage without calculation, and even the goods and people pulled them all into the Haiyuan Pass, and went deep into the territory of Zhang Guo, until the depths of a valley.
