"Tell you, it's his honor that your daughter is rarely valued, and I took him away first."

"I'll give it back to you after a few days of play, what do you have to worry about, if you serve me comfortably, let your family eat here, and get glory and wealth, it's just around the corner."

。 The young master who said this raised his eyebrows, and one of the guards on the side took out a gold coin from his arms and threw it directly into the old man's face.

"I can see clearly that the young master of our family is just beating you, and he is not an unreasonable person, and he gave you money, which is not strong"

"Young master, young master, please let my daughter go, I don't want money, I don't want money,"

The old man hurriedly shouted in horror, tears about to flow down. But before he could finish his words, the young man in front of him and a pig's foot kicked away

"What my young master has never done has been refused, old fellow, you have to think about it carefully, you really want to disobey my secret orders, you must know that my father is the city lord of this Luha Island!"

The blonde man was unusually arrogant and shouted loudly

Seeing this scene, many guards and some people on the side showed worried looks on their faces, but soon everyone cautiously ran to the side, although the woman in front of them was very regrettable,

But it's your own life that's more important than your own life

The guide on the side saw Chen Zhang's puzzled look on his face and hurriedly spoke

"Your Excellency, don't be impulsive, he's our Luha Island. The dark young master of the Andrei family is a powerful person, and the Andrei family is in charge of the entire island south of Luha Island. It can be said that the high power is one of the two major families from the entire Lu Ha to the United States, if you risk a rare occasion to offend him, the consequences will really be unimaginable, not to mention trade at that time, whether you can get out of here alive or not is a very difficult thing, it is really very dangerous."

Andrey's family?

Chen Zhang frowned slightly, for this Lu Ha Dao, she also heard Andrew introduce the current Lu Ha Island

It can be said that it controls the Andre family and the Lucife family

Among them, the Andre family controls the entire southern part of the island of Russy.

At this time, the Lucife family controlled the entire northern part of Luha Island, and it can be said that one south and one north almost divided the entire Nurified Island in two. These two families have a monopoly on almost all minerals and resources on the entire island of Luja

And also fight with each other. A number of other small families are attached to these two families

Originally, these two families still supported each other, and they were relatively harmonious, but as the saying goes, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, unless it is a male and a female.

The two major families, the heads of their respective families, almost all belong to the type of eloquent and shoddy, and they both hope to be able to swallow each other and dominate the entire Luha Island when the time comes

In such a situation, it is clear that the two sides are not too compatible, there are no major conflicts, but small conflicts are continuous

And the blonde man in front of him is the second young master of the entire Andre family, named Lu An

Although Lu An is greedy for money and lustful, he has harmed countless women

Among them, there are many lovers, and fortunately, the girls with the West don't care too much about that matter, and some are even willing to be mistresses, because they can get benefits for their own family

If it were in the East, it would be a stubborn child who would bring disaster to the country and the people

Of course, not all women are willing to have any kind of relationship with the female Lu Anandre

Among them, the blonde woman who graduated didn't seem to be very willing, but in the face of power, she could only be dragged away, and tears flowed in her eyes

The guide on the side saw that Chen Zhang didn't make a move, so he breathed a long sigh of relief and said in a low voice,

"Bosses, don't care, don't care, if this kind of thing happens. It often happens, our concept here in the West and your East is completely different, don't look at this woman's face full of reluctance, but in fact, every time she comes out, the young master will give him some gold coins."

"A gold coin can be enough for a family to live well for a month or two, you must know that sometimes others can't get an opportunity like this, and many women want to climb into the bed of the second young master."

Listening to the guide's words, Qian Ruxue's pretty face instantly turned red, and she cursed in a low voice.

"Shameless, it's really shameless."

However, Qian Ruxue also clearly knows that even if she scolds herself, it is useless, this is the West and not the East.

In many cases, the concept is completely different, but he still can't accept it

The notion of not taking the body as a thing is really out of place.

Chen Zhang didn't pay too much attention to it, and smiled with a slight half-squinted eye

"We understand that we follow the local customs, I know this truth, now go and take us to rest"

As he spoke, he turned to look at the crowd

"Let everyone go to the port and have a good rest. Three days later, this collection will take place. ”

Sailing is never a simple thing, don't look at just three days of sailing,

But for many crew members, this is also quite a difficult situation, so they need to relax after arriving at the port, and relaxing as a man is actually a very simple thing, most of them go to the tavern or the green building to find some women to vent,

It may not seem familiar in the East, but it has long been accustomed to it in the West

Numerous sailors cheered. Although I don't care about the island of Luha, I don't really need to look too much, and you can see women in flowers everywhere in the harbor, and the noise of the signs on the taverns

"Hehe, yes, I thought you would go to the tavern in the harbor like everyone else, but I didn't expect you to go, what's wrong? Isn't it customary? Still don't want to go over? ”

watched Qian Ruxue walk in with a puzzled look, always saying that he was still quite depressed at first

But seeing that Chen Zhang did not leave the room and did not arrive at the port, Qiao showed a happy look on his face, and his tone became excited

Chen Zhang laughed, shook his head and said

"I didn't go to the port, are you disappointed?" Why don't I go over and go now, and say that I haven't been to the tavern in the West yet? Really curious what it was like."

"Nope"

Chen Zhang's voice just fell

Qian Ruxue immediately shouted, her eyes widened, what kind of place the big tavern was, you can know it with your ass

。 It can be said that there is almost no big difference from the Nine Restaurant Tea Room Qinglou Workshop, and a few of the people who can enter it are good people, which is impossible and uncertain

Chen Zhang didn't go over, if he really went, Qian Ruxue would probably rush to the tavern, of course, he definitely didn't admit that he had any ideas

It's just that as a marshal of the Great Marshal's Mansion, going to a place like a tavern is really too embarrassing, if it is known, it will be looked down upon, facing the angry Qian Ruxue, Chen Zhang laughed, shook his head lightly and said

"Don't worry, I won't go to those places, as for the stones, Zhao Zhi and they are also let me pass"

"What you let them pass"

Qian Ruxue was stunned for a moment and said

"What's the problem?"

Chen Zhangdao

"Actually, it's very simple, you have to know that in any place, to be precise, in the western port, the tavern will always be the place where the most intelligence is detected, and it is also the best place to collect intelligence, so that the stone and other sailors will go to the tavern, in addition to venting, let them relax, or need to collect intelligence, only if you can know what is going on on Luha Island, know the situation, can you make accurate plans."

"The most important thing is to know that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the most important thing."

Qian Ruxue's brows furrowed slightly when she heard this, but she quickly understood what this meant

In fact, this is also very understandable, from the very beginning, as Chen Zhang, he has already said that what they want is to completely occupy this Luha Island for themselves

.. And with such an idea and purpose, it is natural to find out the layout of the entire Luha Island, and what will happen, which is still the most important point

Otherwise, this is really a very depressing thing, if you don't even know the pattern and power of Luha Island, and it is very dangerous to launch an attack in a vast. Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one survive a hundred battles

Qian Ruxue nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then continued to speak, "But do you really think that this Luha Island is worth occupying it?" ”

Chen Zhang raised his head

"It all depends on how much raw materials for gunpowder can be provided by the entire Lu Hadao."

He looked up as he spoke. When you go to the window and push it open, you can see the volcano not far away. Billowing and billowing smoke.

For Cheruxue, who has never seen a volcano before, this is a strange sight.

He also raised his head, and his beautiful eyes looked at the volcano, and he was amazed

"Is this a volcano? I never thought that a volcano would exist, that a mountain would be on fire, that it was a fire dragon."

"It's not a fire dragon, it's just a very simple geographical phenomenon,"

Chen Zhang said casually

"Geographical phenomenon?"

"That's right, it should be said that there will be huge flames in the entire underground, and the flames are generally hidden in the center of the earth and there is no way to get out, and the volcano is equivalent to an exit from the center of the earth. It's just that this volcano has been spreading for hundreds of years, and I have to say, this is really unexpected to me, but I don't know when it will erupt? ”

"If the volcano erupts, then the entire island of Luha will be turned into a sea of fire."

Chen Zhang shook his head with a smile, the cold light in his eyes was constantly flickering, I have to say

So far, he has not been able to know exactly when this volcano will erupt, at least with his current ability, which is impossible to predict.

But one thing is certain, and the entire island of the Visitor Volcano does indeed gush out a large amount of raw materials for the manufacture of gunpowder. As long as there are enough raw materials to make flames, then this Luha Island has a value that can be occupied.

Qian Ruxue nodded, he naturally knew what Chen Zhang meant by what he said. Today's Manchu army has almost reached a bottleneck

Forbid. Indeed, the development of the gunpowder musket team has reached a bottleneck

Whether it is a musket team or artillery, a large amount of gunpowder is needed, without gunpowder, everything is in vain, and only with the existence of enough gunpowder can it continue to develop, and the first overseas base rich in gunpowder is too important.

"I see, so what do you want to do?"

Qian Ruxue hesitated for a moment and asked

Chen Zhang shook his head

"What exactly? It depends on the outcome of today's negotiations."

"To be precise, it depends on the situation found today, if you can find out enough, you will be able to know how many forces are happening on the entire Luha Island. Only when we know that we have enough troops can we make the next step, otherwise we don't even know anything, which is a very dangerous thing."

"And since there are two major families in the entire Luha Island, don't you think this is a very good thing for us? Maybe we can take advantage of it a little bit. Take advantage of it a little."

Qian Ruxue reacted quickly

"You want to provoke a battle between the two families, I'm afraid it's not a simple matter"

"After all, I heard that Andre and the Lucife family, although they have been in conflict with each other, but they have not reached the point of history, and it is obvious that they also know very well that life and death are not such simple things."

Chen Zhang laughed

"That's right, but it's also something that doesn't matter much, and it hasn't reached the point where you live or die, so we just need to let him get to the point where you live and die."

Chen Zhangtian laughed and said word by word

In fact, many things are very simple, and they cannot be carefully scrutinized, and once they are carefully scrutinized, they will find that many things seem to be difficult, but in fact they are relatively simple situations."

The golden light in Chen Zhang's eyes flickered

It seems that everything is under his control

"Okay, so I want to see what you're up to?"

Qian Ruxue thought about it and decided not to pay attention to it

After all, he is really very unfamiliar with this kind of conspiracy, since he doesn't understand it, then it is most correct to hand this matter to someone who understands it, and leave it to someone who is familiar with it to do this.

On the second day, Chen Zhang went to the trading office of the port in good spirits, which was dedicated to trading for merchants.

The official who was responsible for the transaction at the port hurriedly walked over when he saw Chen Zhang's arrival, with a bright look on his face.

Obviously, for them, they have a very clear knowledge of what Chen Zhang represents in front of them

You must know that this time, Chen Zhang transported it over, and there were some hoarded grains in addition to the silk from the East

This is in high demand throughout the island of Luha, and Oriental porcelain and silk are well-known at home and abroad, and can be sold at sky-high prices as soon as they change hands
