It’s not just Mire.
Reheman was also shocked when he heard this.
What Mr. Liu means is that this Mire, in addition to being a slave trader, is also an extraordinary big shot?
He didn't know that in the history of Islam, those who could preach alone would never have a low status.
Liu Zheng looked at Mire quietly and said with a smile: "Brother Mire, I am your friend. How about it?"
He believed that Mire would not refuse.
The believers of the Yi religion are quite fanatical. Faced with the huge temptation of driving away the temple and allowing them to preach in Loulan, no one can refuse. But Mire was not a reckless person, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Master, isn't it possible that you will give Mire a piece of cake?"
Liu Zheng laughed. He liked this Arab who was proficient in Chinese more and more.
"What if Liu Zheng can also gather all the merchants doing business in Loulan to help?"
Liu Zheng said the last words.
Mire stood up suddenly: "Impossible, absolutely impossible! Master, do you know how complicated the merchants in Loulan are? Arabian, African, Persian, Nanyang, Western, haha, every caravan They all have different purposes, different beliefs, fight with each other, and even kill each other, and no one has ever been able to unite them!"
Each caravan has its own guard. If this force is gathered together, the combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.
Liu Zheng smiled confidently: "Liu Zheng has his own way!"
Mire's eyelids twitched, and he was thinking, who is this Mr. Liu in front of him? But every time he smiles confidently, people can't help but believe him.
He knows it too.
If you want to have big plans, you have to take risks!
He suddenly laughed loudly: "Young Master Liu, you are so eloquent! Hahaha, Mire is now in jail, what else can you not dare to do? My brothers are already ready to make a move, so I sent them to rob the prison, so why not let them die? , it’s better to have a good fight!”
Liu Zheng was overjoyed.
Use Arab power to attack Persia! What he didn't expect was that such a Mire would bring him such a big surprise. Otherwise, when faced with Loulan's situation, he might not be able to make a living without straw.
It's different now.
If this Mire camel team could be dispatched, the situation would be different. If the inside should be coordinated with the outside, the temple will fail!
Liu Zheng then revealed his entire plan. When he heard the refined salt, even Mi Re's eyes lit up and he was quite moved. I trust Liu Zheng even more in my heart. After Liu Zheng finished speaking, Mire smiled bitterly: "It's hard to imagine that the young master has only been in Loulan for a few days. If this can happen, Mire hopes that he and the young master will always be friends, not enemies!"
Liu Zheng laughed, of course he would.
He also does not want any religion to be introduced into his territory.
Mire gritted his teeth, and then under the shocked eyes of the two people, he reluctantly dug out a delicate, yet bloody key from his thigh.
Liu Zheng and Reheman were both stunned.
What a ruthless person!
Mire laughed loudly: "Sir, if the war breaks out, take this key and go to a Persian store. Find the shopkeeper, and he will give you an iron cage with an eagle in it. Remember, sir, Never feed it, just put it in the air, someone will know what it means!"
Liu Zheng and Reheman were amazed. It was such a method. No wonder the temple couldn't ask about it.
This Mire deliberately placed the falcon in a Persian trading house. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest. Moreover, playing with falcons is also a habit of Arabs, and Persians naturally do not understand it. Who would have thought that this Mire army of camels could be recruited with just a single falcon.
"Brother Mire, Liu Zheng will not let you down!"
Liu Zheng held the key that was still flesh and blood tightly in his hand.
Mire laughed heartily and happily.
At this time, Nareke came over again and told the two that it was almost time.
…
The next morning.
Before Liu Zheng got up, Queen Reguli and the third prince Halik came to Rongxiang Post House. It was bustling early in the morning, and when Liu Zheng came out, Reguli's look was simply unbearable. This made Zheng Yueru look suspicious and looked at Liu Zheng carefully for a while.
Could this man be walking gold?
Is even the queen attracted to him?
"This is……"
Liu Zheng greeted him with a wry smile.
Reguli said happily: "Master Xiang is the nephew of Shopkeeper Xiang. Lou Lan must come over and thank Shopkeeper Xiang in person!"
Xiang Chenglin smiled bitterly beside him.
Liu Zheng knew that these were Reguli and Halik, who wanted to hug his thigh. Speaking of which, they are also a poor mother and son. In the midst of the storm, there is finally someone they can trust and can turn the tide. Naturally, they don't want him to leave.
He walked over and saw that there was no one around, and whispered: "Queen, be careful of a sudden attack on the temple in the near future!"
When Reguli heard this, he snorted coldly: "Of course I know about this, the divine envoy is already dispatching troops! Sure enough, Hemuti has evil intentions!"
Liu Zheng nodded.
Although this Reguli is a bit of a nymphomaniac, she is a queen after all and must have her own abilities and intelligence system. Liu Zheng's sudden appearance yesterday not only brought Huang Yantai back to a high position, but also united the pro-Han civil and military officials in Loulan. The temple must be in turmoil, and it is conceivable that the Seventh Prince Hemuti's character is such that he will fight at the slightest disagreement. In fact - with the arrival of Liu Zheng, the temple and the Seventh Prince have only one way to go.
How could a temple that had been operating in Loulan for so many years be willing to fail?
The seventh prince also knew that if he failed in his struggle for power, death would be the only thing that would greet him.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xiang, our Loulan royal family and our 40,000 guard troops are not vegetarians!"
Reguli said proudly.
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly and nodded, not daring to look at him.
The third prince, Harik, asked excitedly: "I heard that there will be a refined salt bidding meeting at Mr. Xiang's house today? Can we participate?"
Liu Zheng naturally couldn't ask for it.
He also knew that this was a benefit for Rongxiang Company from Reguli. After all, she and Halik came to sit in charge, which was equivalent to official support.
At noon.
Hot weather.
Rongxiang Company hereby rented a large restaurant. As time passed, people wearing different clothes and skin colors gradually arrived.
"That's the boss of the Persian company!"
"That's from an Arab company!"
"That's from Nanyang Company."
Xiang Chenglin was beside him, taking the trouble to introduce Liu Zheng. Liu Zheng smiled and said nothing, but his heart was shocked. Although Loulan's national power is not strong, its inclusiveness at this time far exceeds that of the Longyan Dynasty. If the Longyan Dynasty is so tolerant and trades with the world, it should be able to solve many of the internal problems of the Longyan Dynasty at this historical stage and make the Longyan Dynasty stronger and more stable.
pity……
The Longyan Dynasty couldn’t do it.
One after another, more than a hundred shopkeepers who had been wandering around Loulan for a long time finally arrived.
Liu Zheng took a deep breath.
He could predict that if the refined salt caused a sensation here today, the temple and the Seventh Prince would be the first to be upset. He had already dealt with this matter. Early in the morning, Reheman began to gather the Kucheng guards and strengthened their vigilance.
Today, there are still 20,000 temple troops in Kucheng, and the other 80,000 temple troops are distributed in other cities in Loulan.
What Liu Zheng was worried about was that once the Temple Army launched an attack and attacked from both inside and outside, the 40,000-strong guard force would still feel inadequate. Therefore, if we can win over all these merchants today, the city will be peaceful! It is still quite difficult for the temple army outside the city to break through Kucheng.
Under such circumstances, if the Arabian camel caravan, which is unknown where it is hidden, harasses the temple army outside and cooperates inside and outside, although it will be a fierce battle, Loulan will not necessarily lose!
Kucheng at this time.
The storm is coming, and dark clouds are coming over the city.
But here, it was bustling with excitement and laughter.
The conflict between the two atmospheres made Liu Zheng's blood boil.
"Since everyone is here, then..."
Xiang Chenglin was about to speak.
At this time, the seventh prince, Hemuti, rode his horse to the restaurant. With a group of brave followers, he barged in without any explanation and laughed loudly: "Master Xiang is holding a grand event for his business. Hemuti was not invited. How can he not invite me?" Does this seventh prince take him seriously?"
Everyone was shocked.
Queen Reguli said calmly: "Hemuti is not a merchant, what are you doing here?"
Hemuti has always been fearful of Reguli, but today he acted a little wildly, staring at Reguli with lustful eyes, even licking his lips, and said with an arrogant smile: "Queen's aunt, you are not a merchant either. Ah, why are you here? Could it be that just after my father died, you really became Mr. Xiang’s mistress?"
"Be bold!"
"presumptuous!"
"shut up!"
Everyone was furious and drew their swords at each other.
Reguli was also trembling with anger.
The vendors from other countries were watching the joke.
Hemuti was not afraid at all, and sneered: "Don't talk nonsense, why, since it is a bidding meeting, are you afraid that I, Hemuti, can't afford the money? That's the beginning!"
Xiang Chenglin looked at Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng smiled slightly, without commenting, and only gave Reheman a wink. Reheman naturally knew what it meant! This Hemuti is going to fall out today. A big war is destined to be inevitable. Liu Zheng had already handed over the key to Reheman in the morning. If he let the falcon go, the Arabian camel caravan would surely come in waves.
Looking at Hemuti's attitude, this matter cannot be delayed any longer.
Reheman nodded and left quietly.
"Okay, let's begin!"
Xiang Chenglin received instructions from Liu Zheng, looked around, and said with a smile: "Everyone, the Xiang family in the Longyan Dynasty has just opened a channel that can supply a large amount of refined salt! I know that the land of the West is short of salt all year round, so I brought it out today. , the whole audience bids!”
Everyone laughed.
"Lack of salt, not just in the West?"
"We are in need too!"
"Where is the lack? I am still short of gold!"
A swarthy businessman in brocade clothes stood up and asked with a smile: "Just tell me, the shopkeeper, what kind of refined salt does this hard-working man have, let's see, I haven't slept for three days!"
There was joy and laughter again.
Xiang Chenglin smiled slightly: "That's natural."
With a wave of his hand, a large bag of salt was brought up.
Open the bag and everyone looks at it.
The cheerful scene suddenly became silent.
