Wu Haogu and the others sat in the best private room in the cyclamen, located on a corner of the restaurant, with large windows on both sides, facing Yuntai Mountain on one side and Haizhou Bay on the other. Sitting inside, you can enjoy the sea and mountains at the same time.

There is a large table in the center of the private room, there should not be a round table this year, anyway, Wu Haogu has never seen it. He naturally sat on the head, facing the door, Pan Qiaolian and Ximen Qing sat on his left and right, and the others also sat down separately. The blonde girl I saw at the wine cabinet had already entered with a tray of various fruits, and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, are you satisfied with this private room?" If so, how is it here? Fresh large yellow croaker and puffer fish soup are the specialties of our restaurant, as well as good pastries, cooked mutton, and dog meat, which is famous in the Xuhai area.

In addition, the shop also has a handmaiden who accompanies wine and sings, not only Han women, but also Korean women, Dongying women, Japanese women and Persian women......"

Mi Youren suddenly waved his hand and interrupted: "What do you call the lady?" Where did it come from? ”

"Slave?" The golden haired girl smiled, "The slave's surname is Jin, I don't remember where I came from, the slave was still young at that time, and I only vaguely remember that I drifted on the sea for a long time, and then I arrived here and was sold to the owner of the cyclamen house as a slave." ”

That's right, of course there were slaves and maids in the Song Dynasty! The little bottle that follows Pan Qiaolian's ass all day long is a slave...... She is Pan Qiaolian's private property, and it is legal!

"Then do you know who sold you to Haizhou?" Ma Zhi then asked.

"The slave doesn't know," the golden retriever smiled, "If the guest officer wants to buy a golden retriever like the slave, the slave can introduce a few businessmen to the guest officer." ”

Hearing this conversation, everyone in the room smiled and looked at Mi Youren, who always looked like a romantic and talented man: It turns out that this one likes golden retrievers.

Mi Youren just didn't see it, and continued to ask: "Is there a white female slave who can sing and dance?" ”

"Yes, yes, as long as you have money, even female slaves have it." The golden retriever laughed. "The slave has a good match, that is, he is doing this business, and he will go to Yuntai Island in a few days, and the slave will tell him to wait in the inn for a few days, how about it?"

The Cyclamen House is not only a restaurant, but also an inn. However, the guest rooms and the restaurant are not in the same building, and the guest rooms are in the town thousands of feet away, and it is a large courtyard with five rooms.

However, Wu Haogu and his party will not live in the cyclamen residence, they will go to Yuntai Mountain to find a temple and Taoist temple to live in, and after some fun, they will leave from Sucheng Port.

"Okay, that's it."

After the golden haired girl left, Mi Youren smiled and said to Wu Haogu in front of everyone: "When the students saw that there was no one around the teacher to serve, they wanted to send a few high-quality white fans, and the teacher's trading company could also use them." Now the first-class places in Kaifeng Mansion have beautiful female envoys to attract guests. ”

"What's the hell?" Wu Haogu was stunned when he heard this, "Yuanhui, you, you, what do you want to ......"

"Yes, yes, yes." Mi Youren nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "As a teacher, there should be a few stunning people waiting by your side, a romantic and talented man, who is not like this?" However, it is unlikely that the slaves and maids who are bought will be both good-looking.

If you want to raise a few superlatives, you still need someone to train them. The student saw that Ji Yizhi's ink lady was good, and she could come to train the female slave.

And it's not enough to have a white maid, you have to raise some Song maids and Gaoli maids, this is what a merry and talented man should do......"

"Brother Yin, what are you talking about?" Before Mi Youren's words were finished, Pan Qiaolian was already about to jump up, her apricot eyes were wide open, and her anger was about to erupt and burn Mi Youren.

Wu Haogu also frowned, he couldn't understand why Mi Youren said these words in front of Pan Qiaolian?

Could it be that most women in the Song Dynasty didn't care about men looking for mistresses?

"Pan Xiaolang, Mi Xiaoyi is well-intentioned," Ximen Qing glanced at Mi Youren and started a round with a smile, "Da Lang is doing things on the table, how can he not be accompanied by beauty?" Second Brother Ma, you said this is the reason, right? ”

Ma Zhi glanced at Ximen Qing, and then at Pan Qiaolian, whose pretty face was flushed, smiled bitterly, and changed the topic: "Actually, Da Lang can also buy a few white war slaves for self-defense." ”

Wu Haogu hurriedly cooperated with Ma Zhi to change the topic: "Second Brother Ma, I didn't expect you to know about the white war slaves." ”

"How do you not know?" Ma Zhi smiled, "Daliao is a big country that spans thousands of miles, and it borders the Black Khan Uighurs in the west, and they have Gulam war slaves, who are the personal soldiers of the Khan King. I heard that in some places further west, these war slave soldiers can also be bought and sold, and after a few days, I see the good friend of the golden maid, so I might as well ask. ”

Hua Manshan took over the topic and said: "Farther west, it is the Baifan merchants who trade along the coast of the Great Song Dynasty, and every family has war slaves. He is not only a guard for merchants, but also a thug for raiding at sea! ”

Naturally, the market of the Arabs at sea did not rely entirely on skilled navigation skills, and murder and arson were also indispensable, so the Arab merchants who could eat this line of food had war slaves to guard their families.

"This kind of war slave, what is the use of Second Brother Ma coming?" Wu Haogu inquired,

"It's for the sake of taking the best of all families." Ma Zhi said, "Da Lang's painting skills are excellent, and he is also the best at Bo Zhong. The way of training soldiers with troops is no exception. The Great Food Country and the Western Regions are all raising war slaves, which will be useful, if you have the opportunity, you may wish to buy one or two to learn from your strengths. ”

Wu Haogu didn't have much interest in war slaves, so he changed the topic again: "Listening to what Second Brother Ma said, it seems that he is proficient in the art of war." ”

On the side, Ximen Qing took over the topic and said with a smile: "The Ma family is the Yanyun family, and Ma Shibo is the hero of the Ma family, and he is both civil and military. ”

Wu Haogu didn't know that the organizational model of the Yanyun Han clan was different from the Yimen that was popular in the Great Song Dynasty.

The Yanyun Han clan is actually a paramilitary organization, similar to the late Han Dynasty, and it can be said that it is a samurai family! The patriarch, the young lord and the backbone of the clan must allow Wen and Wu. For example, the Shi Tianze family and the Zhang Rou family (Zhang Hongfan's family), which later became the minions of Meng Yuan, were all Yanyun Han clans.

At present, the Yanjing Ma family is one of the largest Han families in the Yanyun area. Ma Zhi can achieve a similar career in history, and he naturally has the ability.

In addition, the Yanyun Han clan has a strict hierarchy within the family, and the head of the family and the young master are the king! The children of the Shuliu are the retainers, and the attached foreign surnames are soldiers and people. Moreover, the children of the clan (including vassals) all have to practice martial arts battle formations, and if necessary, they can immediately organize an army!

The military ability of such a family is completely different from those righteous men who are based on the imperial examination in the Great Song Dynasty.

After determining Ma Zhitong's art of war, Wu Haogu asked half-jokingly: "That...... If the second brother Ma is a general, guarding this Yuzhou Island, where should he be deployed? ”

Ma Zhi was stunned, he never thought that Wu Haogu would ask such a question.

"Shouyuju Island?" Ma Zhi asked.

"Yes." Wu Haogu nodded.

"Right here." Ma Zhi said, "It's deployed near the port of Sucheng. ”

"Why?" Wu Haogu seems to be very interested in this issue.

"Because Yuzhou Island is a flat plot here, you can deploy soldiers and horses." Ma Zhi said, "If we build a sea pond here and build a high city, even if there are millions of enemies, we will not be able to attack Yuzhou Island." ”

"Can't you land on the mountain coast?"

Ma Zhi shook his head and said, "How can you enter a dangerous place lightly? Besides, if you are still coming by sea, how dare you trespass into the dangerous Jedi? If there is a mistake, the whole army is lost.

In addition, the army defending the island will definitely build a watchtower on the top of Yuntai Mountain, and set up traps in the mountains. ”

Wu Haogu thought for a while, and then asked: "If Second Brother Ma is in charge of the army, how many people can be used to defend Yuzhou Island?" ”

What do you mean? The people present were a little confused when they heard it, did this Wu Haogu want to live in seclusion on Yuzhou Island in the future, or did he want to take Yuzhou Island and become a thief?

Ma Zhi thought about it seriously and said, "If it is elite, if there is a sea pond and a strong city to rely on, and there is enough food, two or three hundred people will do." ”
