Old Peter naturally chose to take a gamble in the end.
I explained to Tang Ping that I would go find someone today, and the day after tomorrow I would take the person with me and follow Tang Ping to their island to help build some houses and docks.
The information in this era was limited, that is, only when Old Peter got to know Tang Ping and the others did they know that they were wanted in Watt City.
He found a group of craftsmen in Porto to buy building materials. These people never thought that the residents of the island were wanted criminals wanted by Watt City.
After all, no wanted criminal would build a house with such fanfare.
Tang Ping also found out clearly that the island did not belong to a certain noble. It could be said to be completely ownerless, so there was no need to worry about a certain lord thinking that his territory had been invaded and wanting to conquer them.
After Tang Ping and Alaric went back first, they found Li Siwen.
"Give me that unicorn belt you had that day!" Tang Ping said unceremoniously.
"No!" Li Siwen shook his head: "Your Majesty gave it to my father. I accidentally slipped it out when I was taking his seal. I have to return it, otherwise my father will beat me to death!"
"Okay!" Tang Ping patted Li Siwen on the shoulder and said with some regret: "I originally planned to intercede for you after returning to Chang'an, but it seems you don't need it anymore."
"Ping Guo Gong, I'm going to get it right now!" Li Siwen was still full of desire to survive.
He knew that when he returned to Chang'an, the only thing that could make him feel better was for Tang Ping to say nice things to him.
As for the belt, although my father likes it, there are still seven or eight at home. They are for Tang Ping anyway, so my father will not have anything to say.
After waiting for two days, Old Peter still had nothing to say about his business. He took two boats to wait for Tang Ping and the others at sea at the agreed time.
Alaric asked Locke to get on his boat and take a look at it. After confirming that it was all building materials and craftsmen, he took them to Outantanhoupu Island.
Now I still have to be on guard against old Peter.
Old Peter followed them to the island and was a little sad when he saw that the residents of the dock were still living in shacks: "I didn't expect the Lord of Watt City...ah..."
These craftsmen are all professional construction workers. After understanding the needs of Alaric and others, they started working. Naturally, the residents of the island also helped. The sooner they built their homes, the sooner they would feel at ease.
Tang Ping dug from his pocket and took out a belt and handed it to Old Peter.
Old Peter took it and looked at it, his eyes were stunned.
Because it was the first time for him to see the products of tapestry craftsmanship.
The pictures on this silk have a three-dimensional feeling, which is almost as stunning as if an audience who usually only watches 2D movies suddenly saw a 3D movie.
"This...this..." Old Peter kept saying this for a long time, but with his vocabulary, he couldn't even come up with this awesome sentence.
"Old Peter, am I right? You will never suffer a loss in this business!"
"Tang, I have to say that you are also a shrewd businessman, and it is very pleasant to work with you!!"
Old Peter was not as casual as Tang Ping. He carefully put the belt into a beautiful box he brought and said: "I have paid these craftsmen enough wages, and the building materials were purchased according to your instructions. Wait for them After repairing this place, please send them back to Porto, no problem, right??"
"No problem!" This was what was agreed from the beginning. These craftsmen not only wanted to build a house here, but also built a small dock on the island to dock their two larger ships. The transaction between Old Peter and Tang Ping was considered completed, and they hurriedly left by boat.
It's the queen's birthday soon, and the city lord is about to leave for the capital.
Old Peter came to the front of the city lord's mansion and happened to meet Darko who was coming out with the city lord's family.
"Old Peter, what's the matter? Are you still unwilling to give up?" Darko asked with a hint of ridicule: "The city lord is about to leave, what are you still doing here? Do you still think you are the most amazing Venetian merchant?" "
Old Peter looked at Darko and said, "I'm not trying to prove how great I am, I just want to tell you that I must get back what I lost."
Darko and his entourage looked at each other and laughed.
Old Peter no longer paid attention to him, but said to the city lord's steward: "Master steward, I have brought some royal products from the Silk Kingdom. Please take a look."
"Oh, return the royal product of the Silk Kingdom!" Darko said in a sinister tone: "Old Peter, you didn't think you saw me buying a handkerchief from the Silk Kingdom to give to the city lord, so you made a forged royal product of the Silk Kingdom, right?"
The successive wars in Tianzhu and Central Asia some time ago had already cut off the trade routes of merchants who used to sell products of the Tang Dynasty. How could old Peter, who was at a loss a few days ago, suddenly be able to produce a new silk fabric? ?
Naturally, the city manager didn't believe it, but he was more polite to Old Peter: "Old Peter, I really can't help you with this matter. To tell you the truth, the city lord and his wife are about to leave. We’re heading to the capital, and the gifts and other things have already been packed.”
"Master Butler, please take a look at my things!" Old Peter put the box in his hand in front of the butler and said anxiously.
"What's the noise about?" At this time, a group of carriages drove out of the castle, and a knight came over and said, "Get out of the way quickly, the Lord of the City is about to set off."
"Lord City Lord!" Old Peter waved the box on his hand: "I am Peter, a merchant from Venice. This is the gift I prepared for you for the queen!"
A head popped out of the car behind, and it was the city lord of Porto. He looked at old Peter and said, "Bring it over and let me take a look, but you better not be wasting my time!!"
Old Peter quickly handed the box in his hand to the knight, and the knight went over and gave it to the city lord.
Then there was no sound for a long while, and Old Peter looked at the city lord's carriage anxiously.
Darko smiled and said: "Old Peter, offending the Lord of the City is not a good choice."
Just when Darko was very proud, the city lord's voice came: "Please come over, Mr. Peter."
Old Peter breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that it was done.
Coming to the carriage excitedly, Old Peter lowered his head and said, "What are your orders, Lord City Lord?"
"I'm pressed for time now, come up and talk!"
Old Peter smiled even more after hearing this, and boarded the city lord's carriage.
This carriage is very spacious. After getting on it, I saw the city lord's wife holding the belt he had just given to her with great affection and playing with it.
"I heard the butler told you that you all want to get orders from our Knights of Porto, right?"
