Thirty-fifth day after the crossing, night.

The night was hazy, the town was already dark, and only the conference room in the small building was still brightly lit.

"Fude, you said that the Tanglin tribe is a hundred miles away from us, is there a tribe closer to us within a radius of a hundred miles?" After a moment of silence, Li Kang asked.

This is a very strange place, if there are other tribes, to say that the hunting team and Zhang Zhongjing run out almost every day, running to the farthest place, twenty or thirty miles away from the town in a straight line, not to mention stepping on every inch of land around, but not to mention not a single person has never touched it; if not, then why? Is there some strange place here, and others dare not come over?

"As far as students know, there are, and there are more than one or two. Yang Pingwei replied affirmatively.

Everyone was surprised, especially Ping Zhenqi and other people who often go out.

"Then why ......" Li Kang was a little puzzled.

"Ahem, that's because they're deliberately avoiding us. Yang Pingwei was a little embarrassed, and said hesitantly, "They have already discovered us, but their ethnic group is too small, they are a small tribe of dozens of people, and they dare not venture to contact us. ”

If what Yang Pingwei said was true, then the natives observed us under our noses, and even figured out the approximate number of people, while we, civilized people, knew nothing......... Fart, fart, fart......

"I'm incompetent!" Ping Zhenqi, Shan Cheng and other new and old hunting team members knelt on the ground one after another, looking ashamed.

Li Kang's face is also very ugly, his self-esteem is even more hurt, if you want to talk about pride, he is prouder than everyone else, there is no way, modern people just have this sense of superiority for no reason.

I have no place to be angry, so I have to grieve Ping Zhenqi and others, although I can't blame them all.

Li Kang didn't let them get up as usual, but turned to Feng Wenhan and said, "Feng Wenhan!"

"The subordinates are here!" Feng Wenhan realized something, and his heart was beating faster and faster.

"This trip has been hard, and you should have had a good rest for a few days, but time is running out, and this kind of humiliating thing is enough once. The Coordination Division must get on track ahead of time. Li Kang said indignantly, "From tomorrow onwards, you will train scouts for me according to your own methods, and the personnel will be as you choose, and the quota is tentatively set at ten." ”

"No, my subordinates will not disappoint the sect master!" Feng Wenhan said excitedly.

"Well, remember, train a lot in the mountains and forests to survive, track in the mountains, and hide, and I want you to become hunters hiding behind the scenes, not prey being watched by others!"

"No! Subordinates remember!"

"I hope so, and I look forward to your good results. You sit back first!" Li Kang finished explaining, and then he said angrily to Ping Zhenqi and the others who were still kneeling there: "Don't take it as an example!"

"Thank you, lord!" The group stood up and gained a lot of sympathetic glances.

"Fude, report on the harvest, in detail. After such a toss, Li Kang's attitude finally warmed up.

We shipped a total of 100 catties of coarse salt, 30 catties of refined salt, 20 catties of rice, 20 catties of flour, 3 shovels, 3 iron hoes, 2 iron pots, 50 pieces of linen, 5 catties of red dates, 5 catties of ginger, 2 delicate bamboo baskets, 2 wooden barrels, and 20 pottery bowls. Eighty-four pounds of gold, one hundred and four pieces of high-quality furs, a few pearls and gems, and a few rare things. What Yang Pingwei said was a subdued tone, and everyone shook their heads when they listened. Although I have already seen it cursory before, listening to it again in detail at this moment is another shock.

Yang Pingwei took out a cloth bag from his arms, respectfully handed it to Li Kang, and said, "This is a detailed record of the transaction and a little insight of the student, and I will present it to the lord for reading." ”

"Oh?" Li Kang raised his eyebrows, reached out and took the cloth bag, and after opening it carefully, there were dozens of neatly stacked papers inside, densely filled with words.

"The handwriting is good!" Before reading the content, the first thing that caught my eye was that it was pleasing to the eye, Li Kang looked at Yang Pingwei in surprise and praised sincerely.

"The lord praises falsely, and the students dare not be ashamed!" Yang Pingwei smiled reservedly and said humbly.

Li Kang rolled his eyes and scoffed at this hypocritical stink of the literati, [Dude, your smug eyes have betrayed you a long time ago, right?]

Too lazy to talk nonsense, Li Kang directly began to read the content, one, two... Li Kang found that these were not just transaction records and 'shallow views', but mostly what they had seen and heard along the way and descriptions of the animals, plants, and indigenous tribes of mountains, rivers, and rivers, which were full of dry goods.

[It is worthy of being a talent that I value the most!] Li Kang sighed sincerely, as for when he said this, don't care about this detail.

After carefully re-reading it, Li Kang put down the papers and said with a smile: "Your suggestions are very constructive, everyone will take a look." ”

After the paper was distributed, Li Kang said: "In the future, linen cloth will no longer be exported as cloth, but will be exported as finished products such as clothes and cloth bags, but the price will also have to be raised, which is the right thing." Although ironware, woodware, and bamboo ware are popular, they have a long service life, the market is easily saturated, and the trade is not long, and the natives still have a supply of goods from the west, so the already small market will be more crowded, so they can only make a fortune in a short time. In the same way, although those pottery are fragile, the natives must take care of them more than us, and they may not be replaced with new ones throughout the year. These are short-term benefits, and only consumables can provide us with profits and contribute to our development. So our trade with the natives was mainly on sea salt and grain. Coarse salt is more popular than refined salt, which saves us a lot of trouble and doesn't lose much profit. As for food, hehe, I can summon 100 catties of rice or flour with a pound of gold, and a catty of rice or flour can be exchanged for half a catty of gold from the natives, and I can summon fifty catties of rice or flour. Thanks to them, it is their selfless dedication that has solved the food problem for us in the next few years or even more than ten years. ”

"Hehe..." everyone laughed dryly, not as loud as Li Kang imagined.

Li Kang couldn't help but be a little depressed, [Lao Tzu said so hard, you don't know how to cooperate, do you want to be promoted and make a fortune?]

Okay, in fact, Li Kang himself didn't turn a corner, as the boss, how can you say everything you need to say? How can this make the little brother brush up on his sense of existence? How can he let the little brother prove his worth?

Li Kang thought about it for a while, and immediately understood, he often reminded himself to give others a chance to perform, just like the previous few times he forced others to speak. It's just that sometimes you forget about it, just like now.

Li Kang decisively threw out a topic: "Now within the scope of the 'Far Corner Forest', there is a phenomenon of confrontation between the north and the south, and the south is at an absolute disadvantage, is it necessary for us to add weapons and armor to the trade list?"
