There are many high mountains and boundless forests around Phi Island, and the most indispensable thing is the trees.
Chen Zhong on the side said with a smile: "If you want wood, you can get as much as you want."
"It can't be ordinary wood." Xu Xuewu said, "It needs good wood, large wood suitable for shipbuilding. In the future, my owner will send some shipbuilders over to select it himself."
Mao Wenlong said: "There is indeed no shortage of big wood here. If we can exchange big wood for things like soldier armor, that would be great."
Xu Xuewu said with a smile: "In addition to big trees, leather goods, ginseng and Dongzhu, we also have as many tiger-character flags as we need."
Mao Wenlong shook his head and said: "It's okay to chop some wood. If it's fur goods or other business, it's taboo and I won't be able to agree to it."
Xu Xuewu, who was rejected, did not take it seriously and said: "General Mao's situation here is special. If we submit a report and state that the army's salary is difficult, maybe the court will allow you to do some business subsidies."
"If this is the case, I will consider it." Mao Wenlong said.
Xu Xuewu glanced at the boat docked on the shore. His work on coming to Pi Island this time was basically completed, and he said goodbye.
Perhaps because of the soldiers and armor sent, Mao Wenlong personally sent Xu Xuewu to the shore.
Xu Xuewu led the people onto the boat, stood on the boat and bowed his hands to Mao Wenlong.
The sailors on the boat rowed their oars and rowed the small boat in the direction of the big ship.
Mao Chenglu looked at the big ship on the sea and said with emotion: "The proprietor of the Tiger Flag is really awesome. Not only does Datong have a foundation, but it also opens up the maritime trade in the south and builds its own ships. It's really admirable."
"No matter how powerful he is, he is just a businessman." Chen Zhong said disapprovingly.
In the Ming Dynasty, merchants have always been looked down upon, and their status is worse than that of ordinary people. Especially in the eyes of these court officials, no matter how big the business of merchants is, as long as there are no powerful people to back them up, all their money will be taken away in the future, and they will not be able to get it. Even my life will be lost.
Mao Wenlong said: "With this batch of soldiers, you should hurry up and train a group of soldiers. When the soldiers are trained, we will use troops externally to restore the lost territory."
"I will obey the general's orders."
Chen Zhong and Mao Chenglu clasped their fists in agreement at the same time.
Xu Xuewu was sitting on the bow of the small boat. Behind him was an attendant named Li Yao who was an attendant, and behind him was the rowing sailor.
While the boat was still rowing in the direction of the big ship, Li Yao said: "Before coming, the boss didn't say that he wanted to build a warehouse on Pidao. If Mao Wenlong really agrees, will the boss disagree?"
Xu Xuewu turned sideways and said, "Mao Wenlong will not let us build any warehouses on Pi Island. Otherwise, he will not be able to explain to the court, and the censors alone will not let him go easily."
"Then why did you tell him about the warehouse?" Li Yao looked puzzled.
"To ease Mao Wenlong's heart." Xu Xuewu said, "This is the first time we have dealt with Mao Wenlong. Even if he accepted our things, it is because he lacks everything now and wants to get it for free, but we No, if the boss wants to establish long-term cooperation with Pidao, he must rest assured and trust us, and we cannot let him always be suspicious of us."
The boat continued to row forward, getting closer and closer to the big ship.
Li Yao said: "The deputy director went to the grassland this time to propose the establishment of a warehouse. I don't know if the Great Khan on the grassland will agree."
Approaching the ship, a ladder was lowered from the ship, and Xu Xuewu and others boarded the ship.
Duan Ping, who had been waiting on the big ship, saw Xu Xuewu and asked eagerly: "How is it? Nothing happened! When I saw the officers and soldiers on the island arresting you, my heart was in my throat, for fear that What will those people do to you?"
"It's okay." Xu Xuewu said in a relaxed tone, "We are sending soldiers and armor food to Mao Wenlong. After he gets the things, he will naturally not mess around."
Duan Ping nodded and immediately asked: "Then where should we go next?"
"Go back to Tianjin Wei." Xu Xuewu said, "The matters on Pi Island are almost settled. I need to go back to Lingqiu to see the proprietor."
"Okay, I'll arrange for the sailors to turn the helm and return to Dagokou." Duan Ping turned around and shouted to the sailors on the deck, "Weigh anchor, turn the helm, and return to Tianjin Wei."
Two sailors walked to the side of the ship and pulled the anchor cable to move the ship.
"Shopkeeper Li, Dahan invites you."
Jamukha came to the store of Tiger Flag in Qingcheng and met Li Shuheng.
"Has the Great Khan agreed to our Tiger Flag setting up its own warehouse on the grassland?" Li Shuheng asked Xiang Jamuhe.
Jamukha shook his head slightly and said: "The Taijis have been arguing about this matter, and the Great Khan can't make up his mind, so he sent me to invite Shopkeeper Li to the Khan's tent just to discuss this matter."
"Okay, I'll go with you." Li Shuheng nodded.
This time I came to the grassland. On the one hand, I wanted to sit on the grassland and watch the Tiger Banner open up new trade routes. The other reason was that the Tiger Banner wanted to build a warehouse on the Tumut grassland. The goods were not stored in the Jamuhe tribe. In a yurt.
Coming out of the shop, the waiter put on the horse's reins.
Li Shuheng rode on horseback and went to Qingcheng's sweat tent with Jamukha.
When he arrived outside the sweat tent, he noticed that there were many armored soldiers with unfamiliar faces outside the sweat tent. He knew that these people were armored soldiers brought by Taiji from various tribes and stayed outside the sweat tent to wait for his own Taiji.
From this, he guessed that there should be many Taiji discussing matters in the sweat tent.
The horse was taken to the stable and tied up.
Jamukha said: "Shopkeeper Li, please come with me. The Great Khan said you can go in directly without any notification."
Li Shuheng nodded and followed Jamuhe into the sweat tent.
As soon as he came in, he saw that the sweat tent was full of people from various families. The two positions next to the head of the fortune telling rabbit were Su Nang and Na Mu'er.
"I've seen the Great Khan." Li Shuheng bowed his hands towards the fortune teller, and then said to the other Taijis in the Khan's tent, "I've seen all the Taijis."
Bu Shitu said to Li Shuheng: "Shopkeeper Li, please take a seat."
In the past, he would definitely not have this attitude. The huge fire of the Tiger Character Flag earned him the respect of the Great Khan.
Li Shuheng noticed that Namul Taiji had left a seat for him.
Namu'er also said at this time: "Shopkeeper Li is sitting here with me."
"Thank you, Khan." Li Shuheng bowed to Bu Shitu, then walked to Na Mu'er and sat down.
After sitting down, Na Muhe smiled and said to the people in the sweat tent: "I believe everyone knows Shopkeeper Li of Tiger Character Flag. Even if you have never met him, you should have heard about the tiger character flag burning the warehouse. At that time The person who ordered the fire was Shopkeeper Li next to me."
As his words fell, some Taijis in the sweat tent started talking.
A fire a few years ago completely burned out the reputation of the Tiger Flag. When many Mongolians on the grasslands heard the word "Tiger Flag", the first thing they thought of was that fire. A fire burned out the Mongolians' hatred of the tiger. Word flag admiration.
Su Nang, who was sitting cross-legged on the other side of the sweat tent, looked livid.
If the Tiger Character Banner gained the respect of the Mongolians with a fire, then he was a person who lost face after being burned with a fire. twenty one
