Ji Yi is also the same as Wu Haogu, his face is almost blooming with a smile, but he is also thinking repeatedly in his heart.

Of course, it's good to go to the Sriwijaya Strait to collect tolls. This buy** digging a canal between Xuzhou and Haizhou can be easily earned! The merchant ships that went from the Great Song Dynasty to Tianzhu and Dashi all passed through the Srivijaya Strait. None of them is an exception! When the time comes, you will collect 1,000 taels in a boat, and you will collect hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. And you don't have to spend money to dig canals, ready-made straits, all natural!

Moreover, the merchant ships had to find a port in the Sriwijaya Strait to replenish fresh water, the sailors had to rest, and the ships sometimes had to wait for the wind. If the commercial market is well operated, it is possible that the income will be several times that of Haizhou and Jiehe......

Of course, it will not be easy to take control of the Srivijaya Strait. Nothing is easy to collect a million yuan a year!

And what is not easy must be done by many capable people in a group.

So if you really want to make this money, Ji Yi has to join forces with Wu Haogu. Otherwise, the two of them might have gone to sea and started fighting on their own, what else could they do?

"Together?" Ji Yi looked at Wu Haogu.

"Yes!" Wu Haogu nodded, "Let's do it together!" ”

"No way!" Ji Yi shook his head, "You and I are not enough. ”

"Not enough?" Wu Haogu smiled, "Who else?" Take them with you. ”

Wu Haogu is well aware of the truth of real estate prosperity. Therefore, he has long been determined to be the largest real estate developer in history, and the largest real estate developer cannot rely on him alone, he must absorb other shareholders, and he is a powerful shareholder.

Ji Yi snapped his fingers and said: "The Haizhou Wu family, the Mingzhou Xie family, the Guangzhou Chen family, and the Pingjiang Ji family are collectively known as the four major maritime families. The four major families must be put together...... If necessary, the four of us can make up 1,000 big ships, and tens of thousands of soldiers can also be transported to Srivijaya! ”

"Good!" Wu Haogu clapped his hands, "Pull them all!" If you want an official, you will give an official, and if you want a share, you will give a share, and I will take 20% of the shares. ”

He didn't dare to eat alone in the Strait of Malacca, otherwise he would be angry and beaten by the crowd.

"And one more!" Ji Yi interrupted, "Quanzhou Bai family! ”

Wu Haogu was stunned for a moment, "Quanzhou Bai family? Aladdin Chamber of Commerce? ”

Ji Yi nodded: "Yes!" ”

Wu Haogu's face changed slightly, "Aren't they from the Heavenly Fang Sect?" We're looking for trouble with the Heavenly Sect this time! ”

"So what?" Ji Yi shook his head and said, "Chongdao, you don't think that the trading on the sea can get rid of the Heavenly Fang Sect merchants, right?" ”

Can't you? Wu Hao Guxin said: Just bypass Africa......

"That's impossible!" Ji recalled, "So if we want to meddle in the Sriwijaya Strait, we must pull in the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce."

And...... If you want to go to Baghdad, you have to pull in the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce, otherwise it will be difficult to do the errand. ”

Is it hard? Wu Haogu thought to himself: As long as Zhao Ji's cheap son can play the majesty of Yelu Dashi, can the caliph's waist pole still be hard?

"The Aladdin Chamber of Commerce won't help the Celestial Caliphate?" Wu Haogu asked.

"Yes!" Ji Yi nodded his fat head, "Help matchmaking, and the two parties will agree...... By the way, is our request for the caliph to revoke the official titles of Taohuashi Khan and the governor of China? ”

It is better to pay millions of ...... Wu Hao has thought about it a long time ago! It is better to send an embassy at a good time, and it is better to send people to Baghdad when the two brothers Qianshun and Chago are slaughtering in all directions. In this way, not only can you get the books and manuscripts in the University of Philosophy, but you can also earn millions of dollars in travel expenses to go home by the way—only gold and silver, not copper coins!

"I also need the collection of books in the University of Philosophy!" Wu Haogu didn't say anything about asking for money, and now is not the time.

"Okay!" Ji Yi smiled, "With the help of Bai Siwen from the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce, this is all a trivial matter." The caliph has long been a puppet, and he is a well-fed peach blossom stone khan who is against our Great Song Dynasty? ”

"Alright then," Wu Haogu laughed, "then count him out...... But there's no urgency right now. At the moment, we haven't attacked the Sriwijaya fleet yet, so we have to prepare for a few years!

Of course, I will ask the official family for a decree to form a naval army in the name of escorting the mission. ”

Wu Haogu is now in charge of the army, and he is also the only coastal city envoy in the Great Song Dynasty, in fact, he is the commander-in-chief of the Great Song Navy.

Naturally, it was possible to propose and be ordered to form a naval fleet. The voyages of Hu Yanqing and Wu Side were just a small test to accumulate a little experience for the establishment of the navy.

Ji Yi smiled when he heard this: "Since this is the case, then the lower official will ask for an order before the commander drives and take people on a trip to the Great Food Country." ”

"Okay!" Wu Haogu slapped his face, "That's unbelievable!" Brother Yizhi, you and I have been unhappy in the past, and we will write it off today, and in the future, you and I will work together for the court and the officials! ”

This is, of course, a lie! Wu Haogu will not let go of the opportunity to expose Ji Yi to Zhao Jijin, but now everyone still has to join forces in order to build the strait toll station as soon as possible.

"Okay!" Ji Yi arched his hand, "The lower officials will only be handsome in the future." ”

Of course, Ji Yi is also cheating...... He is a Jinshi who is a roll call in Donghuamen, or Tanhua, aiming at Erfu. In the Song Dynasty, how could there be a civil official in the second government who followed a military general as a younger brother?

"Don't dare, don't dare to ......" Wu Haogu also said in a loud voice that he didn't dare, "Brother Yi is tormenting the younger brother, the younger brother is a martial artist, but he doesn't dare to do this." In the future, we will still be brothers, you are brothers, I am brothers, how about it? ”

"Okay, it's a deal."

Ji Yi is eight years older than Wu Haogu, of course he is a "brother".

The two brothers then had another wine and talk, and Bai Feifei also arranged for a housekeeper to accompany him to drink and sleep—this is the culture of the Great Song Dynasty officialdom—and only in the early morning of the next day did he send Ji Yi away.

As soon as Ji Yi left, another "brother" of Wu Haogu, Su Zhe's second son Su Shi, came.

Su Shi accompanied Su Zhe back to Kaifeng Mansion, and also met with Jun, reporting on the diplomatic relations between the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo, Tamna, and Japan, as well as the situation in Haizhou (Goryeo) Pass and Busan Pass - Su Shike was a diplomat under Wu Haogu, and he was directly responsible for the diplomatic relations between Goryeo, Tamna, and Japan. The tax collectors stationed at Haeju Pass and Busan Pass also obeyed him. In addition, the horse farm on Tamna Island, Su Shi also has a certain jurisdiction.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the "foreign minister" of the Coastal City Shipping Department.

"Brother Zhongnan, congratulations on being promoted!"

In the middle hall of the martial arts mansion, Wu Haogu congratulated him as soon as he saw Su Shi with a spring breeze on his face.

Because Su Shi was missing a Jinshi diploma, he was doomed to officialdom. So before following Wu Hao, he was a Taichang Temple Taizhu, and his official rank was not high. But now, in just a few years, with the merits of several visits to Goryeo, Tamna, and Japan, he has now risen to the rank of imperial official. Moreover, he was sent by an envoy to the Goryeo State to discuss with the Goryeo State about the delivery of the Haeju Pass and the Pusan Pass to Daliao.

"The official has been promoted, but the errand is not easy to do!" Su Shi shook his head with a wry smile and sat down on a chair. "After all, Haizhou Pass and Busan Pass are the customs of the Goryeo Kingdom, so it's not appropriate for us to hand them over to the Khitans after all, right?"

"Hehe," Wu Haogu just smiled, "If it's not suitable, you have to find a way, Brother Zhongnan, you go out in person, this thing can't be done, right?" ”

"No, it won't," Su Shi shook his head and frowned, "The Goryeo people are now fighting with the birth girl, and at the same time, they dare to offend Da Liao and us at the same time?"

It's just that the king of Goryeo must be unhappy, and maybe he will confiscate our horse farm on Tamna Island! ”

The horse farm on Tamna Island was started at the beginning of last year, enclosing a large piece of land, and employing a group of horsemen and veterinarians from Hebei who are good at raising horses, and also brought a group of young hippos to Tamna Island to feed. Now that we have just had a little foundation, if it is confiscated by the Koreans, it will be a bloody loss.

"It will be arranged," Wu Haogu smiled, "If they don't fight the idea of the Tamluo Island Horse Farm, otherwise the Great Song Ke will have another subject country." ”

"One more subject?" Su Shi frowned, "Chongdao, the Goryeo Kingdom is not so weak. ”

"Know, know, there will be proper arrangements!"

What will be arranged by Wu Haogu on Tamna Island is his dummy army, 1,000 young knights (more than a dozen died in the northwest battlefield before, but the young knights already have alternates, so they can still make up 1,000 people), of which more than 200 have fought in the northwest Dangxiang and Khitan, which is not something that the Goryeo can deal with at all.

If the Koreans don't touch the horse farm in Tamna, if they dare to fight the idea of the horse farm, then they will inevitably be smoked.

Wu Haogu didn't make it clear to Su Shi about this plan, he is not a figure in Wu Haogu's inner circle now-his father may enter the core after his death, but not yet.

Wu Haogu paused, "Xiao Delisi and Ma Zhi, the envoys of the Liao State, have already arrived at Jiehe Shang City...... Zhongnan, if you still have to endure the hardships, set off as soon as possible to go to Goryeo with the Liao envoy, and the Jiehe River will freeze later. ”

"Okay." Su Shi nodded and said, "This time, the deputy envoy is Du Gongmei, who has also arrived in Jiehe Commercial City, and can set off at any time." ”

Because this time the matter was shameless, the envoys sent were of a very low rank. is making Su Shi, and the deputy envoy is Jinshi Du Chong in the Shaosheng period.

"Du Gongmei?" Wu Haogu knew what kind of person Du Chong was, so he smiled and said, "Then bother Brother Zhongnan to pull a string, and I will also make friends with him." ”

The more villainous you are, the more you can't offend! I'd rather give a little more courtesy and give a generous gift, so as not to offend people.

He thought for a while and said, "Let's ask him to get together tomorrow night at the Nephrite Wenxiang Building of Wanda Wazi."

Tonight, let's first meet with Ma Zhi, the deputy envoy of Liao, in private, and everyone will reach a consensus first, so that we can deal with the Koreans together. ”
