Zhao Bufan was greatly impacted, he had heard the word Daqin before, but he didn't have any special feelings, that feeling was similar to listening to a book, but at this moment, seeing the person in front of him say those names, the excitement was very great. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Ma Rulong saw that he was stunned, thinking that he didn't know this country, and said with a smile: "Don't the big officials know about the Maritime Silk Road?"

"I know, I know!" Zhao Bufan came back to his senses, his expression quickly calmed, and there was a strange fluctuation in his eyes. "Can your ships really get to Rome?"

Seeing that he seemed to be very interested in this, Ma Rulong said with a smile: "Yes, the sea ships of our Jingtao Gang can go north to Jin and Liao, or they can cross the sea to Dongying, and even the sea countries in the southeast, and they can go as far as the coast to the Fulin country, but because the road is too far, they will only go once a year." Originally, it used to be twice a year, but the situation in the Great Song Dynasty in recent years has really not been good, and business has shrunk so badly, once a year is enough!"

"How can you Storm Gang have such a powerful fleet?" Zhao Bufan said with a puzzled expression.

"No, if you want to take the Maritime Silk Road to the country of Fulin, it is not just our Storm Gang, it is the largest maritime gang in our Great Song Dynasty, when we set off every year, there are at least more than 20 huge sea ships set sail, no matter what grievances there are on weekdays, as long as we get to the sea, then everyone is working together, riding the wind and waves, and it takes more than half a year or even a year to complete a voyage. If the officials are interested, they can also come to Quanzhou next year to watch the sailing salute, which is 6,666 firecrackers and sails together, shocking people's hearts!!"

With Ma Rulong's narration, Zhao Bufan's mind flashed dozens of huge sea ships, sailing and sailing in the wind, countless sailors raised their arms and shouted, slowly sailing out of the harbor when the morning sun was rising, facing the depths of the blue sea......

Fan Ruhao's face was pale, and seeing that Zhao Bufan seemed to be attracted by the other party, he interrupted urgently: "Big official, Ma Rulong said that it was a voyage, and they were really okay with the Storm Gang, but they were just people from the Cangzhou branch, and the voyage had nothing to do with them at all." This time, the officials transported silk and cloth to the south, after all, they need to be more realistic, and the transportation capacity of the Cangzhou branch of the Jingtao Gang is indeed not as good as our Yunhai faction, this is a fact!"

"No, no, no!" The blue-eyed Roman didn't seem to hear this, waved his hand again and again, and said in a strange tone: "I came to your prosperous Song Kingdom on the ship of the Storm Gang, and I also came to Cangzhou from Quanzhou under their escort, they are very credible, very loyal, and very powerful!"

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Bufan with deep eyes, and said in a strange tone gently: "Muguanren, maybe you should consider considering the Storm Gang, this is the third time I have come to your Song Kingdom, and every time I cooperate with them, they are worthy of your trust!"

The Roman accent was really strange, and when he called out the wooden official, everyone in the audience couldn't help but laugh.

Zhao Bufan had already risen to the idea of in-depth contact with the Storm Gang at this time, he had an incomparable curiosity about the sea ship and Rome, but now it was to rescue Hao Siwen and Lu Fang Guo Sheng, no matter how eager he was, he could only suppress it for the time being.

Pretending to hesitate and thinking for a long time, he said slightly apologetically: "Master Ma, your Storm Gang makes me very excited, but as you said, mutual cooperation requires credibility, I have now promised the Yunhai Sect, before they do anything to hurt their feelings, I can't violate my faith, and next time, how about I have an in-depth understanding with you?"

Ma Rulong smiled heartily: "The big officials talk about honesty so much, which is really admirable to the contemptible people, since this is the case, the contemptible people will no longer persuade more, but the Storm Gang will always welcome the arrival of the big officials, and our branch is in Donghai Town, which is near Dongxian Town, and we are waiting for the big officials to come and say goodbye!"

"Farewell!" Zhao Bufan smiled and clenched his fists.

Ma Rulong of the Storm Gang is really a good talent, he copes with it decently, is not impatient or impatient, and leaves a very deep impression on Zhao Bufan.

As Ma Rulong left with the people of the Storm Gang, Fan Ruhao was very happy, and immediately beckoned everyone to go to Dongxian Town, constantly boasting about the advantages of the Yunhai Sect along the way, but at this time, Zhao Bufan was already thinking about maritime trade, and he just dealt with it casually.

The information provided by the Storm Gang today did bring him a lot of ideas, and even made him a little eager to try, and this state was not forcibly suppressed until he arrived in Dongxian Town.

This prosperous coastal town does not look like a place controlled by the imperial court at all, but rather like a private product of the Yunhai faction, symbolizing that the imperial court's yamen is located in a secluded corner of the west of the town, and there are only two yawning servants outside the door, listless, and not even neatly dressed.

The market is very prosperous, but it is the disciples of the Yunhai faction who can maintain order, although they manage the huge market in an orderly manner, but this is too strange, the power of the people surpasses the imperial court, and the management power is formed here, which is basically the emperor of the soil.

However, these could not make Zhao Bufan completely stunned, the most shocking thing was the sea boats on the dock, not to mention the countless fishing boats and small sea boats, just the two giant sea ships made him stunned, the hideous giant crossbow, the gunpowder bag that can be thrown, the trebuchet, the flint cannon, everything is available.

After Zhao Bufan joined the army, he had learned some knowledge of the Great Song Water Army, and according to the standard equipment described in writing, I am afraid that it is not as good as this Yunhai faction. This is also due to the fact that the Great Song Dynasty did not face a threat from the sea, so it did not attach great importance to the construction of the naval division.

Seeing these two giant sea ships with his own eyes, Zhao Bufan was greatly stimulated, not only him, but also Zhu Lian, Zheyuezhi and Qin Ming and others who were traveling with him were all shocked.

Fan Ruhao, who led the way, saw their expressions, and said proudly: "Great official, our navigation and shipbuilding technology in the Great Song Dynasty are among the top of all countries, no matter what country is inferior to us, the imperial court also encourages us to trade abroad, but unfortunately it is encouraged, but it is not supported in actual action." For example, on the routes we currently know, there are many pirates in various places, but the imperial court never cares, so those of us who rely on the sea to survive can only rely on ourselves, and our Yunhai faction is one of the best, we have a total of four giant sea ships, one is currently outside, and there are two here, really talking about the combat power on the sea, if you say something disrespectful, the two warships of the imperial court can catch up with one of us!"

Zhao Bufan's mood couldn't be calm for a long time, he turned his head to look at the other side of the bay, and saw that there were also a lot of boats over there: "Is that the ship of the Storm Gang branch over there?"

Fan Ruhao heard him ask about this, his face sank instantly, and his tone was slightly unconvinced: "That side is Donghai Town, the branch hall of the Storm Gang is there, and they are relying on the name of the Storm Gang, but the comprehensive strength of this branch is actually not as good as us!"

"Why don't you cooperate, but make a saber rattle?" Zhao Bufan asked strangely.

"Alas!" Fan Ruhao sighed and shook his head helplessly: "If it was okay more than 20 years ago, but in recent years, it is impossible, the situation of our Great Song Dynasty is not as good as a year, this Cangzhou is a northern border state, there is really no way to supply two fleets, in addition to our Yunhai faction, there are some small gangs in Cangzhou, but now they are gone, either merged by our two families, or disbanded and each has a way to make a living. But officials can rest assured, as long as we take your trouble, then we will definitely guarantee that it will be delivered safely, and if there is a loss, we will also compensate according to the price, Yunhai Pai has done this for decades, and has never let customers suffer!"

From Fan Ruhao's words, Zhao Bufan felt a little puzzled, although the power of the Yunhai faction was greater, and there was a behavior of overstepping the official government, but why did the old sect that talked about credibility like this stirred up between Xixia and Dongying, he thought carefully for a while, and asked cautiously: " Seeing your situation here, I believe that you have that kind of strength, and when you were in the county seat, you have already learned about your credibility from many peers, and these are not problems, but I have recently heard some rumors in the dark, saying that I have seen Dongying warriors and mysterious masters haunting you?"

When Fan Ruhao heard this, his face changed a little instantly.

Zhao Bufan stared at him indifferently, and said softly: "These things should not be inquired about, but you should also understand that I am a businessman, and the safety of goods is something I must consider, if it weren't for the chaos of the world now, there are many bandits, and the risk of taking the land route is too great, my father and I will not try to transport it by sea, after all, we have never walked by sea, so we have to be careful!"

"I don't know where the big officials got the news?" Fan Ruhao said tentatively.

"I learned from the people in the rivers and lakes who smuggled salt and iron that we had some business dealings with them, so I asked them about shipping some time ago!" Zhao Bufan spoke calmly, and his eyes were also very calm.

Fan Ruhao looked very cautious, frowned for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Great official, since you are also dealing with people in the green forest, then you will get straight to the point, can you take a jargon?" After all, you also know that the world is chaotic now, and in order to survive, we must also not get involved in some unclean things, so we have to be on guard!"

"Okay, the God of Wealth of the Five Directions is in charge, three righteous knives are hanging on the head, the elder brother is here to put down the words, and the younger brother will continue today!" Shi Qian suddenly jumped out and interjected directly.

"Friends from all over the world open the way, the two ribs take care of each other, the elder brother has made an oath here, and the younger brother will listen today!" Fan Ruhao responded with a laugh.

"Salt and iron go by water, not by land!"

"Oil and rice don't go to water!" Fan Ruhao replied loudly, with a smile on his face again.

"Brother and brother are not judged by age, and fame is currently calling for brother!"

"Officers and soldiers come to shout everywhere, it is advantageous to dominate and not monopolize!"

“......”

With the two of you and me, dozens of thief words in the blink of an eye, Fan Ruhao finally slowly believed that they had a deep relationship with the people in the green forest, completely relieved, and quickly smiled and waved his hand: "Don't say it, don't say it!" Since Brother Tai is an understanding person, then the little brother will get straight to the point, and he can't hide it, even if Brother Tai is a pure businessman, as long as he finds us, we will also deliver the goods for you safely and steadily, this is our rule, and it is a death to violate it." If you are also from the green forest, then we will open the skylight and say bright words, do business, make friends, our Yunhai faction has indeed had a deal with Xixia and Dongying recently!"

Zhao Bufan's eyes froze: "Oh, then can you let me have a good time?" (To be continued.) )
