Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 1269

[Chapter 916 Sea Patrol Balloon Fall]

King Cuangui was eating, but his mind was not on the food at all. When he saw Zhang Xiaobao helping his younger brother and sister cut the meat and the little ones were looking for a place to eat, he approached Zhang Xiaobao.

“Xiaobao, how many days will you stay in the local area?”

“About five days, waiting for the response from Zhenla, five days is enough, just use this time to check the dam and artificial river. When we leave, we will leave 200 people behind to help you manage the area, as well as corresponding weapons and ammunition.

Don’t take the initiative to provoke the Mongolian tribe and lure them to attack, you can kill people with our hands. We Those who stay will take the initiative to contact them, you send someone to help translate their words, and you want to provoke them, you know the consequences.”

Zhang Xiaobao gave an approximate time and warned King Cuangui.

King Cuangui promised again and again, and he was in a good mood. He knew that even if he got in touch, the Mongolian tribe would not be able to cooperate as well as his own, and it would take time.

Taking advantage of this period of time, he can speed up the development of the Cuan clan. When the people with the surname Meng really cooperate, he has already developed. I don’t need to attack you. I can see that your life is not as good as mine.

King Cuangui even came up with a plan. The people with the surname, cattle, sheep and horses, would first sell the grain they planted to each other at a low price in exchange for their livestock, and then they would work hard to breed and wait for a few years. , the Mongolian surname no longer has any advantages.

Just like Xiaobao, attacking with economic means is just as relieved.

Thinking about it, King Cuangui couldn’t help laughing.

Zhang Xiaobao glanced at him.

I didn’t ask him what he was thinking, just don’t mess with me anyway.

The bonfire ended when the sun went down.

This night is a party.

Zhang Xiaobao and others left with a lot of smoked meat. Many of the locals were drunk. The alcohol was too strong and they were too relaxed. Many women were helped back to the stockade.

The bonfire was extinguished, but the fire of hope rose in the hearts of the tribe, singing and dancing.

reluctant to stop.

******

Five days passed quickly.

There was news from the place where Chenla met that people had arrived, and there were not too many guards.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan left behind 200 people,

Tell them the general idea of what to do in the future, and point out the location of the salt mine. After that, pack your bags and set off west.

The locals sent them out more than 20 miles away.

Only then did he reluctantly watch the brigade disappear, and turned back to the stockade.

In the past few days, they have learned a lot of practical knowledge from the team of the Zhangwang family. They have watched the Zhangwang family use the local bamboo, grass, and leather to make various tools that are more convenient to use. After participating in the production, you can use it later.

Therefore, they trust the Zhang Wang family very much.

They are definitely good people.

Cuanmo A complained to Fan Fan, saying that when the caravan came, they should have a lot of tools, but they didn’t teach him.

Fan Fan admitted that they had an agreement with other caravans that came over, and everyone could not help the tribesmen too much.

In order not to be learned by others, you will have less means of making money.

While apologizing to Cuan Moa.

On the other hand, the fundamental reason is that the Zhang and Wang families are strong enough, and the technology they master is far more than this.

Fan Fan apologized, but he didn’t regret it. He told Cuanmo’a, when we came here, you didn’t belong to the Tang Dynasty. Why should I teach you skills?

Xiaobao and Juanjuan teach you techniques, but they can’t teach India and Duishe. Datang’s blockade of technology is very strict. If one day Xiaobao and Juanjuan teach the enemy techniques when the enemy does not surrender, it will definitely be trap.

“So, don’t think that they are kind and amiable. Whoever scored the right points. When Xiaobao left, he promised me to develop here and gave me a loan. We need to get closer.”

Fan Fan talked about cooperation again .

He plans to raise fish and ornamental fish. He wants to buy fry at a high price and transport them to Dianchi Lake to see if the fry will produce new mutations and get more beautiful fish in a special environment.

But he can’t always stare here, and needs the help of local people who are assured.

“How to split the money?” Cuanmo A can understand the technical blockade of Fan Fan and other caravans on his side in the past, but now he is also talking about the issue of money. Before Xiaobao left, he told himself that human resources are precious, that is Even if people who work can’t exchange things, as long as they do things, they have to get a lot of money.

“Human, it’s scary when one’s thinking changes. With 19%, I’ll get 9% of the money sold in the future, and you’ll get 1 point. I have to transport the ornamental fish first. The fish is very precious, and I’m guaranteed to die. Although the interest on the loan is not good, I still have to press the funds, and the bank itself will generate profits.

Then I will also bear the loss of the fish that died in an accident when I raised it here, in case it mutates. The fish is even more ugly, and I will continue to lose. Even if it succeeds, I will definitely have to ship it back, and some of it will die to open up sales, and there will be advertising costs.

Anyway, I spend a lot of money, and you are just helping to take care of it. It’s low, I would get nine times the profit from trading with you normally.”

Fan Fan drew a ‘one’ and a ‘nine’, and said to Cuanmo’a.

When Cuanmo A just heard about 19 points, he wanted to raise the price, but after listening to Fan Fan’s analysis, he was absolutely right, so he had to agree: “Okay, 19 points.”

“There is another plan .

, put marine fish in fresh water, the Yangtze River knows, many fish in the sea will swim over, and some fish from the Yangtze River will swim to the sea, I will bring a boat from there, and if they survive, circle a place in the pond and see To see if I can support myself, it’s still 19 points.”

Fan Fan came up with another idea.

Cuan Moa still agreed, but he couldn’t think of a better way.

Suddenly he thought of a question and asked: “How much do you sell, how do I know? And how much you spend, I don’t know either. If you say 19 cents, you can say whatever you want, what should I do?”

“Brother Mo, you still can’t trust me?” Fan Fan looked at Cuan Mo with a sad look.

Cuan Mo’a smiled embarrassedly: “I believe, I believe in you. As much as you say, I will send someone to look for Xiaobao. Isn’t it said that any of their businesses can be used as a contact point? I will let Xiaobao again I’ll give you a guarantee.”

Fan Fan was stunned, blinked his eyes, nodded: “Okay, let’s find it, wait for other businessmen to come over, when you discuss various cooperation with them, remember to say what you asked for Xiaobao at the last moment, I can’t be the only one to suffer.”

Cuan Moa smiled slyly.

Sure enough, it is very useful to mention Xiaobao.

******

It was mentioned by Cuan Mo’a and Fan Fan that there were sea fish, and many fishermen were wondering at this time.

They came out of Fuzhou and went fishing around several nearby small islands and reefs. There were lighthouses on the islands, and their boats were not big, so they didn’t dare to go too far.

If there is a big ship.

You can go to the far sea to catch fish that are rare in the offshore sea and sell for more money.

You can even go to Liuqiu Island, bring the goods, and exchange with the locals. The locals also fish and go over empty boats.

Bring some cargo that is not available on the island and come back with a boat full of fish.

If you’re lucky, you might even get leather from other islands or something.

And there is no need to worry about the people on the island snatch it. Before, a large number of businessmen have negotiated with the tribes on the island, and let the Datang gunboats show their force first.

Then give the benefits, and the two sides will exchange normally.

There are even businessmen from the Tang Dynasty who arranged for people to be stationed on the island in rotation.

Act as a bridge of communication.

There are also rich people who choose a good place to build a house on it, and live there for ten days and a half months when they are idle and bored.

The people on the island like silk, vegetable oil, and canned food, smoked chicken, roast duck, etc. If you used to cook a pot of wontons for others, you might be able to get fish meat and iron ore as gifts.

What’s more interesting is that a merchant brought the seeds over and asked the people on the island to help them plant them. After the harvest, the people on the island could choose some of the things they planted as rewards, or they could exchange them for other things.

The people on the small fishing boats have nothing to do about it. If they take the risk, they can actually pass, but it is not worth it.

What puzzled them in recent days is that the number of Datang escort ships around them has increased significantly. Usually, there is an armed boat three times larger than their fishing boat in a fishing area.

From the first two days, there are two escort ships in each area. It can be clearly seen that the ships have machine guns, and at the same time, a patrol ship is seen cruising by from time to time.

The most puzzling thing is that there are hot air balloons flying in the sky, and some people are scanning the sea with binoculars. of oil paper.

When a fishing boat is picked up from the sea, it is written in which direction a large school of fish appears, and the fishermen can fish in the past as instructed, which is very convenient.

But the fishermen definitely don’t think that the hot air balloons in the sky are specially here to help them find fish, that is too extravagant, and they can always see the people on the hot air balloons first throw a float in the water, and then use a gun on it. Hit, obviously training.

The fishermen were a little nervous in their hearts, but they were not afraid. As long as the imperial court did not stop them from going out to fish, it showed that the imperial court had a way to protect themselves.

A group of fishing boats that came out of Fuzhou today were once again guided by the people on the hot air balloon. To the southeast, about ten miles away, the light reflected by the sea water is abnormal. You can try to check it out.

The fishermen were immediately excited. Every time they said this, there were actually fish in the past, so the fleet adjusted its direction and went there, and the hot air balloon followed.

Sure enough, when they got there, the fishermen found that there were really a lot of fish, and they threw their nets casually.

While they were catching joy, a fisherman raised his head to look at the hot air balloon, and suddenly found that the balloon was getting smaller and its height was falling, and he quickly shouted: “Don’t worry about the fish, come down, is it leaking? Save people. .”

A group of fishing boats adjusted their direction, estimated the landing point of the hot air balloon, and rowed hard.

When there are still more than 100 meters away, UU reading www.sonicmtl.

com The hot air balloon finally entered the sea, and after a while, the heads of the four people were exposed, and they swam towards the fishing boat, and the two patrol boats also approached.

“Brother, what’s the matter?” The person on the boat asked concernedly after pulling the four people up.

“I don’t know where I missed it, it fell, bad luck! Everything has been turned over in the sea. When I go back, I tell them to design the hanging blue. Fortunately, people are fine.”

One person explained helplessly.

“Brothers, are you here to find fish for us?” Another person asked.

“What kind of fish are we looking for, that’s by the way. We are looking for a boat that eats many people. We said that we didn’t find it elsewhere. We suspect that it is in the Liuqiu area, so we should strengthen patrols in Quanzhou and here. Let’s not mention it, transfer us to the escort boat, You continue to fish.”

The person on the hot air balloon wiped the seawater from his face and said depressedly.
