(Thank you for the support of the two lives, please collect and recommend tickets for the new book, brothers and sisters who read the book must collect it)
Mo Yangzi's face turned pale in an instant, this King Wu bowed down in front of tens of thousands of soldiers to worship himself, an ordinary old man, and the courtesy was to the extreme. ∈↗
The craftsman who stoops down to worship the people of the world with the supreme dignity of the prince, this is not a corporal of Lixian, but is suspected of deviance, if it is known by the scholars of the world, I am afraid that King Wu will become the target of the public.
In addition to being shocked and moved, there was also a trace of trepidation, if he was refusing, he was afraid that these tens of thousands of loyal soldiers would tear themselves apart in anger.
In ancient times, it was nothing more than this, at this moment, Mo Yangzi's body trembled, his expression was shocked, his hands were folded and stretched forward, and he bowed down: "I am willing to die for His Highness!"
Hearing Mo Yangzi's words, Zhao Shu also breathed a sigh of relief, he bowed down in front of tens of thousands of soldiers, if this Mo Yangzi still refused, in order to maintain his prestige, he was afraid that he would have to use cool methods.
This is not that he is vain, because the world is like this, he successfully invited Mo Yangzi, called Corporal Lixian, if he is not successful, he will be laughed at and generous, and he will be laughed at by the people of the world, which will affect his prestige, and then he will be considered visionless, or he will be considered as a non-virtuous master, and even the craftsmen who are despised by the world will be disdainful, and at that time, his knowledge and prestige will be questioned.
This prestige is the same as this luck, but the illusory makes people have to pay attention to it, but fortunately, Mo Yangzi did not let himself down.
"There are countless skilled craftsmen under the command of this king, and in the future, they will be under the command of Mr. Mo Yangzi, and the materials needed to establish the encyclopedia will be available as long as the old man speaks!"
Zhao Shu was extremely comfortable at this time, with the remnants of the Mo family, he could support the Mo family, develop the way of science, and with merchants and a large number of craftsmen, he could support the two forces of industry and commerce to fight against the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism.
"Mr. Moyangzi, this king wants to see your trap beast, I don't know if it's okay?"
"Little Lao'er, I'll show King Wu here!"
Mo Yangzi stretched out his hand, and a machine snake more than ten meters long, connected by black wooden blocks, appeared in front of Zhao Shu, the bucket-thick machine snake was churning and swimming, like a living thing, this appearance filled the point platform, like a giant dragon, so that the hearts of the soldiers below were shocked.
"What a trap beast, I don't know if Mr. Mo can make a more powerful trap beast?"
Zhao Shu looked at this trap beast and was overjoyed in his heart, if he had more trap beasts, he could build an army of trap beasts, so that he would have a strong strength.
The strength of a Jurchen who was supported by the Ancient Dao Sect was afraid that it had exceeded his imagination, so he had to prepare earlier.
At this time, Mo Yangzi smiled bitterly, if it weren't for this trap snake, his family would not have been discovered by King Wu.
"It takes time and a lot of money. ”
Mo Yangzi said with a solemn expression.
"As long as it can be manufactured, it is not a problem, but now the first task is to hope that Mr. Mo Lao will assist the shipyard in improving the sea vessels, and this king plans to organize a sea voyage. ”
"Willing to serve His Highness!"
Mo Yangzi promised.
"Then there's Mr. Law. ”
After Zhao Shu confirmed this matter, he looked happy, stretched out his hand to Zhao Hu and said, "Draw the elite of the army and expand the Tiger Wing Battalion." ”
"Zhang Xian's infantry soldiers became the king's direct guards, and they were strictly trained. ”
"No!"
Hearing Zhao Shu's words, Zhang Xian looked overjoyed, and suddenly agreed, the soldiers selected by the step guards are all warriors at the peak of the physical realm, well-equipped, but the number of people is limited, although he is ten thousand households, but the soldiers and horses in his hands are less than a thousand, but he has become the guard directly under King Wu, and his ten thousand households are really deserved.
"Your Highness, those merchants have arrived at the palace. ”
Jiang Kui leaned over and said in Zhao Shu's ear, Zhao Shu's eyes flashed, and he got up and said, "You two go and prepare, this king is going to meet those merchants!"
Zhao Hu and Zhang Xian took the order to go, and Zhao Shu took Jiang Kui, Mo Yangzi and others to meet those merchants.
In King Wu's mansion, merchants with thousands of dollars in their pockets were sitting precariously, waiting for Zhao Shu's arrival with bated breath, but there was a trace of heat in their eyes. Most of them are merchants in the north, some of them were just small merchants at first, and they operated dismally because they had no background, and they made their fortunes because of Zhao Shu's help, and some of them took refuge in cooperative merchants immediately after Zhao Shu's fortune.
Either way, at this time, his expression was calm, and his eyes were implied with joy.
King Wu's army is mighty, quelling the rebellion is just around the corner, more importantly, King Wu is a businessman, attaches importance to business, and the Jiuding firm under his command has invented countless novelties, creating a lot of money for many people present, and the army went south, and after quelling the traitors, it opened the trade road to the south for everyone.
Most of this southern commerce was in the hands of the side disciples of the family, and usually the northern merchants simply intervened in the south, but the rebellion of Fang La gave them an opportunity and allowed them to obtain a lot of wealth.
Now the king of Wu took advantage of the rebellion, when the southern shipping stopped, the formation of a huge fleet to go to the South Seas, the profit is bound to be greater, and even expected to replace the southern merchants to cut off the sea trade routes, thinking of this, everyone is also flocking to it, what really surprised everyone is that the king of Wu actually summoned them personally, to know that the status of the merchant is the most humble, although they have a lot of money, but they are not respected, but they are abandoned outside the court.
Therefore, everyone also wants to take the backer of King Wu.
"King Wu has arrived!"
A long shout woke many of the merchants from their contemplation, and they all got up and stood on either side, looking extremely respectful.
Zhao Shu swept these more than a dozen merchants, some of these people cooperated with him when he was still the king of the county, and some were newly joined merchants, but most of them were merchants from the north, as long as a small number of them were new merchants in Jianghuai and Huai.
As they marched into the south, the power of these merchants also infiltrated into the south bit by bit.
In fact, the commerce of the Great Song Dynasty was extremely prosperous, and the merchants had thousands of family wealth, but the status of the merchants was low, and many times, they had to rely on the family, scholars, and court officials, otherwise they would be suppressed, and even the hard-earned money would be taken lightly.
This is also the reason why these businessmen are willing to follow him, after Zhao Shu sat down, he waved his hand, and everyone just sat down.
"The meaning of this king, everyone has already known, this time the fleet to the south, there are two things, when the fleet goes south, it will be divided into two parts, one part will enter the ancient kingdom of Champa and Shamba south of the Nanban, and the other part will continue to go south to explore new trade routes. ”
After Zhao Shu finished speaking, everyone's expressions moved slightly, everyone just wanted to take advantage of the turmoil in the south, make a windfall, and even take advantage of the seaway, but they didn't dare to think about it. For a while, everyone hesitated.
Fu Dalong, who was the first to cooperate with Zhao Shu, hesitated a little and said: "Your Highness, the villain has a doubt, I don't know if I can ask Your Highness!"
Zhao Shu saw this rich dragon, waved his hand slightly, signaled him to continue, and got Zhao Shu's signal, this rich dragon's face decreased in panic.
"The glass, spices, liquor, and silk in the hands of His Royal Highness can be exchanged for a lot of wealth, and get in touch with overseas maritime merchants, we take advantage of the disaster of Fang La in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the reduction of shipping in the south, so we build sea ships to go south, it is better to take this opportunity to make a fortune, as for entering the land of the South Barbarians and opening up new waterways, will it be too risky, the barbarians are full of miasma, the barbarians are fierce, uncivilized, and continue to go south, it is rumored that there are Rakshasa people, and they are even more ferocious, and these two places are almost no benefit. ”
After Fu Dalong finished speaking, the others also looked at Zhao Shu, in the face of their doubts, Zhao Shudao was not angry, looked at Long Bo on the side, and got Zhao Shu's signal, Long Bo got up and said with a smile: "You should know that this Zhancheng is rich in rice, and the grain where it is almost inexhaustible, and even rots in the ground." Today, part of the rice grown in Jiangnan is Champa rice.
If you can open up the sea lanes and monopolize them, you can make a fortune even if you have grain, and there should be grain merchants among you, knowing that this is a wealth without capital.
And although the land of the Southern Barbarians is fierce, but gold is everywhere, jewelry and jade are at your fingertips, as long as you have the courage, you can go, this time, you are rich, the prince has sent someone to investigate the situation, this time it is to send soldiers and horses, why worry about not taking the wealth.
Many people and merchants come from far away, and the goods in their hands are worth a lot of money in my Great Song Dynasty, so don't you want to open up new business routes and obtain an unfailing family business for future generations. ”
After Long Bo finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and more than a dozen people came forward to display all kinds of things from the Southern Barbarian Land.
Wang He took a step forward and said: "Everyone, the villain was originally a member of the Southern Wang family, and by chance, he opened up the land leading to the Southern Barbarians, these things are all obtained from the Southern Barbarian Land, you are all people with vision, you must be able to see it." ”
Hearing Wang He's words, everyone checked, and they were quite moved for a while, Zhao Shu looked at the expressions of these people, and a smile appeared in his heart, it seems that the matter can be done.
If you enter the Ganges Delta, you will be able to supply your own grain and grass, and you will no longer have to worry about food and grass. Moreover, Nanban's wealth is enough to support himself to build a more powerful army, and it can also support it to fight against the Jin people alone.
More importantly, Zhao Shu wants to open up the Arab sea and get the Arab war horses, the Arab war horses are medium in physique, gentle, but extremely enduring, if they can get a large number of war horses through the sea and cultivate them, they will be of great help to their own cavalry and fight against the Jurchens in the future, after all, the war horses are all from the north, and now the north is controlled by the barbarians, and they can only find another way.
