Chapter 119: Trade Monopoly
Zhang Bai was shocked, this Surin family has too much appetite, right? They want to have an absolute monopoly, if they succeed, the four words "rich and rival the country" will not be enough to describe the Surin family.
He shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm unwilling to agree to your conditions, the Great Han is now divided into three countries, and the fierce civil war has been going on for decades. I can only barely represent the westernmost of them, Shu Han, because their emperor is still surnamed Liu, the son of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and I have no way to represent the other two countries at the moment. ”
"Then destroy the other two nations," Kelka said in a quiet voice, as if for granted, "if you agree to our terms, we will stand firmly on your side and finance your shipbuilding, that's our condition." ”
Such a vicious content, in the mouth of the old fox Kelka, was actually said so easily, Zhang Bai felt that his body was on the ground, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Seeing Zhang Bai's stunned expression, Dedalus immediately added fuel to the fire, "We have known about the situation of Dahan for a long time, and I have seen the great power of your spaceship with my own eyes, and we have full confidence in your career. ”
What do you mean by my career? Do you mean that I should be the emperor myself? Zhang Bai felt his heart tremble. He never thought about being an emperor, he was not a person who was keen on power in his previous life, but when he thought of the emperor's throne, his heartbeat seemed to be a little uncontrollable.
The old fox of Kelka had a vicious eye, and he could see at a glance that Zhang Bai was tempted, but he did not rush to speak, but observed, as if staring at his prey, ready to give him the last stab.
Deidares is still persuading: "If those in power want to sit on the throne, all they need is money, elites, armies and people." You've got some decent men, incredible ships, and an army that can't be defeated, just a fewer. You are Ahurama, your prestige is unparalleled, and the people will surely support you. All that is missing is money and talent, and we have them. As long as we are united, the whole world will be fine. ”
Zhang Bai looked at Dedalus deeply, he saw terrible ambitions, people's hearts have always been more terrifying than big mushrooms, people's hearts!
Kelka stopped Dedalus from continuing, and he interjected, "Dedalus is young, his ambition flies higher than your ship, unlike an old man like me, I beg your pardon. ”
He changed his words and said, "You are a knowledgeable noble child who knows how big this world is. Your Han Empire alone is enough for you to plan for a lifetime, not to mention India and the Huns. To the west we have Rome, Egypt, and all of Africa. I think the world is big enough for our ambitions, don't you think?"
Does it mean that you want to divide the world? Zhang Bai was almost so scorched by this father and son that he could serve it as a big dish. This is because he has taken a fancy to the power of his spaceship! He wants to use money to open the way, and use the temptation of the empty throne in exchange for his own military support.
"Ahem," Zhang Bai finally came to his senses, cleared his throat, and quickly replied: "Please forgive me for my gaffe, the suggestions of the two are really unexpected, I need to think about it." ”
He groaned, and suddenly felt a little stupid, "Unifying the world? Thinking of this, his mind cleared up on the spot.
"Ahem, I suddenly think that your plan is indeed very interesting. But I still have to take it step by step, what I have the ability to promise you now is the silk trade that will be transported to Central Asia by the spaceship in the future, and the first stop of the spaceship will be at the place designated by the Surin family, and all the transactions in this regard will be taken over by the Surin family in the future. Zhang Bai suggested that he was using a blank check for a blank check approach. Anyway, if there are more lice, it doesn't itch, and he added a sentence even harder.
"If one day, I can really monopolize the silk of the Great Han, I will promise to hand it all over to the Surin family for trading. ”
Surin and his son smiled, their eyes and teeth sparkling like two wild wolves.
"But I have one more request, which is that I want you to help me build another ship. As you know, I have so few ships that even the Zero has to go into battle, and if you agree, I promise that I can sell the Zero to you when I have a fourth ship. ”
Deidares stood up suddenly, looking at Zhang Bai and then at his father, his excitement undisguised.
What he originally hoped for most was this deal, but they thought that the spaceship was an artifact, and they were worried that Zhang Bai would be unhappy if they said it, so they didn't dare to say it clearly. Unexpectedly, Zhang Bai took the initiative to say it. Although the offer is not low, it is definitely worth it.
Kelka took one of Dedalus's hands, got up slowly with a trembling voice, bowed to Zhang Bai and stroked his chest, and said solemnly: "We will always remember your kindness, and in return, you will definitely receive the eternal and firm friendship of the Surin family." ”
......
On this night, Zhang Bai entered the dream with Mu Jing again, according to Mu Jing, such a dream can no longer be called a dream, but a dream world, which is actually a new world.
The magic capital has changed a lot, and it's not just a matter of trees and grass growing on the roof. The roadway used to be a smooth asphalt road has changed from a smooth asphalt road to a dusty road, and now it has become a muddy floor, overgrown with all kinds of flowers and even shrubs, but there are no tall trees. The sidewalk on the side of the road has not changed, it is still a smooth pavement with large blocks of pavement bricks, and this is no longer a place that Zhang Bai is familiar with.
The two of them cleaned up the last crimson token on the river, and it took a whole hour to turn the token into milky white.
In order to prevent mistakes, Zhang Bai used the hairpin given to him by Mu Jing, and wrote a "deficit" on this token, Mu Jing reminded him a little worriedly, "This fast token is best placed alone, and when it is transformed, I have a feeling of unease." Zhang Bai himself was also a little worried, because according to Dao Lao, this fast token can pass through the underworld, who knows what will be in the underworld, and he really has to be careful.
When I thought of this, I suddenly had an inspiration. He sat down on the floor and flipped up his trouser legs, revealing his hairy left calf. Then he took out the Jianmu dagger he had with him from the treasure chest and shaved the leg hair off his calves.
Mu Jing was baffled by his super evil behavior, and he didn't know whether to avoid or blame, so he had to turn his head and scold: "You shameless boy, what are you doing again?"
Zhang Bai smiled apologetically and replied, "It's helpless, sister, don't be surprised, I'll be fine in a while." Mu Jing was a little curious, thinking that he was just rolling up his trouser legs, but it was nothing, so he couldn't help but turn around to look at him again.
I saw Zhang Bai holding a hairpin in his hand, exercising his spiritual power, and painting tattoos on his calves! He had learned to paint in his previous life, and his skills were naturally not comparable to those of ancient painters, not only were they fast, but they were also accurate and lifelike.
Soon, he drew a large area of calf densely. The tattoo hurts a little, and the painting is so big that it grins at the white pain.
Mu Jing was a little far away, he couldn't see what was drawn, and he couldn't help but feel itchy and unbearable, so he hesitated again and again and finally came closer to take a closer look.
It turned out that Zhang Bai had painted a stupa on his calf, which was a nine-fold octagonal Han style stupa with a high spire, and the base of the pagoda was painted with green trees and flowers.
Mu Jing felt even more strange, so he asked, "What are you painting these for?"
