Chapter 120 Tribute Boat (Part 2)
When the Kong, the other name Fei Kong, came off the boat neatly, was still unspeakable, and the continuous redness of the passionate longing appeared on his face;
After all, he saw with his own eyes the rare treasures that should have been dedicated to Emperor Seris; any few items he had placed on the case may be worth the maximum profit that the whole ship of goods he had worked hard to cross.
Although the remaining reason was telling him that the other party just described a prospect or drew a big pie to him; it also opened up a new perspective and a grand blueprint for future prospects in front of him. After all, it was completely impossible to abandon and forget these things after he saw and touched them with his own eyes.
After all, if these treasures with the Eastern royal style can be sold through his hands, they will inevitably become guests of honor for the princes and princes of foreign countries to compete to make friends with.
If he could risk the wind and waves and bring it back to the city of Seven Hills on the strait, he would quickly become a topical figure in the upper class of the empire, and even become a popular darling in social occasions of wealthy families and prominent families; but he also had new ambitions and ideas, why was he willing to be a reseller?
The previous experience has proved that he has always deceived himself and is unwilling to face the reality; without enough rights and resources to support him, even if he has more wealth and risk being coveted and robbed, he is just a short-lived unlucky guy who is laughing at others.
But if money can invest in the right path to power, it means unimaginable returns and guarantees. Although he is just a descendant of a Roman in overseas commercial colonies and trade sites, it does not affect the historical stories he has learned since childhood.
He knew that when he was a famous Roman commander, Beliosa, was an ordinary nobleman and merchant in his early years, he began to invest in the great Emperor Justinian, who was born in a peasant and soldier family, and even did not hesitate to be his brother-in-law and eventually became a powerful man. He initially relied on dealing with the spoils for Emperor Justin, who was still a cavalry captain, and finally became a great hero who overthrew the Leo dynasty and replaced the last emperor Marcivenus as the throne.
Now the Macedonian dynasty was founded in Constantinople. Emperor Bashir, the "Bulal Butcher" and "Roman Resurrected" who had just died two years ago, was also an imperial serf who was born in a lowly groom. He started his business by pacifying the Paulist war, and with the help of Joshua, a great merchant from the Khasa Khanate, overthrew the Phrygian dynasty and stole the throne of the alcoholic Michel III.
Although Bashir was just a lowly serf who didn't know his parents, now, whether it was the Armenians who were restoring their country or the Slav leaders who tried to get rid of the enslavement of Khasa Turks, they couldn't wait to pursue him as a hero and hope of his own nation, just because his mother was likely to be the trophy captured by the imperial army from the eastern border of the empire.
As the saying goes, "Greece was once cute, Rome was more expensive. If it was for the sake of future, both could be abandoned..." Although he still had nothing and was alone under the roof, his imagination had already flown thousands of miles away.
Of course, Zhou Huaian didn't know that someone had already begun to think of various plots of great future based on his performance. He made new discoveries in the corners of the warehouses where raising geese and cockfighting were raised.
It was a dying little animal, curled up into a ball and was only big with hands; the fur was messy and stained with blood and dirt, and it looked very dirty. Under the furry white fur, there were faint round marks, round small and round ears and pointed and short mouth, like a mixture of cats and dogs; but Zhou Huaian, who had been in Africa, recognized it at first sight. This animal that looked like a cat and a dog was actually a hyena cub, and it was still a obvious albino species;
Who knows how those ancient overseas merchants used this thing from the inland African prairie to Guangzhou through the sea. How big is the eunuchs on the ship who think this thing is the kind of round and squinting eyes in the saying "collusion".
Because on the marking of the cage, it is obviously far-fetched to be regarded as a kind of auspicious animal in the mountains and seas, and is called "Yunhuo". It is known as one of the rare birds and beasts that appear in the great rule of law in which the sea is clear and the river is peaceful, and the world is peaceful and the world is full of saints. It seems that it is just to flatter you, and it is already one of the ultimate means to use it.
Although he was covered in stains and thin, and there were still wounds that had not healed on his hair and farts that had not been bitten out of the abscess, after seeing the person coming, the little thing that looked dying and curled up as much as possible, raised its fur and shriveled tail, and opened its mouth and grinned its teeth and claws and made a terrifying attack. However, in Zhou Huaian's view, he felt an indescribable cuteness and joy.
He suddenly felt a stir in his heart, and suddenly had an uncontrollable thought, and then hesitated again; although there was a record of Uncle Hei's taming of this thing, he had personally seen those Uncle Hei who were walking with big dogs, pulling large hyenas with thick iron chains in the suburbs of the city, and even riding on his back to bask in the sun;
However, for most creatures on the African savanna south of Shahara, this thing is a lion that dares to siege alone, a prairie wolf pack that is familiar to most people, and a cunning and fierce upper layer of the African ecological food chain. Even those black uncles only have the probability and possibility of domestication from their cubs.
Seeing that the deterrence seemed to be ineffective, the little thing grinned and bit the railing of the cage again. It was just a pair of bright red eyes that were always alert to Zhou Huaian next to the cage. The rich expression of tenacious, stubborn, resolute and cruel touched Zhou Huaian's heartstring again.
When I thought that this little thing might be the only one who accidentally entered the Middle Earth in this era, and there was no other similar or ethnic group to reproduce. Just like myself who traveled alone and entered into this wrong and chaotic era, I suddenly felt a little melancholy and sympathetic; at the same time, I immediately made up a certain determination.
After all, the Tang people of this era were famous for their good at chasing and tolerance, and various novel things introduced from outside the country. For example, on the mural of Prince Zhang Huai’s tomb unearthed and excavated in later generations, there were vivid descriptions of Tang Dynasty nobles taking large cats such as cheetahs and lynxes as companions when they went out to hunt. In contrast, the wealthy people who played Tibetan mastiffs, Caucasian dogs, or Dobermans in later generations were simply home.
"Maybe now, you and I are the most unique and lonely ones..."
While thinking this in his heart, Zhou Huaian squatted down to himself, handed out a newly baked snack meat strip from his sleeve bag, put it in his mouth and bit it off a small piece, and then swayed over the void; he was so shocked that the little thing could jump up in the cage, and the iron cage that hit it actually shook several times; it was so explosive and powerful.
Then, as it roared and intimidated, its nose was wriggling and finally smelled the unique smell of dried meat. Then, after hesitating and hesitating for a while, he was driven by his hunger instinct to eat, he took it over and swallowed it a few times in one go. Zhou Huaian immediately showed a smile on his face, which made a good start;
This is a unique domestication technique he learned from Africans who were good at taming wild animals since childhood; it is to use odor contamination methods to gradually develop the illusion of habit in the repetition of hunger feeding, and ultimately treat the owner as a common kind, and even the elders and leaders of the ethnic group.
Then, when driving and communicating, there will be less obstacles and resistance. This trick is somewhat useful for many wild animals that use scents as social signs, and it is obviously no exception now.
Then, after Zhou Huaian made several throws and fed them in a row, the little thing stopped biting the railing, but shrank back to the farthest corner of the cage, and continued to stare at him with great vigilance. Then he lifted the iron cage, which was a little souvenir and commemoration for boarding this time.
"What's the name?"
Feeling the swaying of his hands constantly struggling, he couldn't help but murmur again.
Since I decided to adopt this little thing as a pet of some kind, I also have to give it a corresponding name to call me every day; but Zhou Huaian has always had naming obstacles that make people complain about since childhood; I once raised a rabbit and raised a Brazilian turtle and was a little green, and raised a variegated cat and called Xiaohua. I have many collisions with my classmates' nicknames and have had misunderstandings.
Otherwise, he would call it "Little White Wolf", and then he seemed to see the words "Tomorrow Update" and "Breaking the Flow" that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and he couldn't help but feel that it was not auspicious enough.
Or it was called "Red Tiger", but suddenly a whole historical line was forced to respect a huge deflection force of cause and effect, which made him give up this choice; or it was called "Grizzly Panda"? A huge malice called "Sending a daughter to die in order to pursue democracy" came and suppressed him again;
OK, then call it Bear Wolf Dog. This will be the name of this animal in the future to commemorate a cool writer who transformed from a man-eating demon king into a cat slave. This time, he felt that there was no sign of disagreement and evil thoughts.
At this moment, several leaders in the rear camp who were somewhat powerful gathered on this tribute ship under his notice; then they turned into various screams and sighs, and roars.
"Dear mother..."
"This is the first time I have seen such a big sea boat in my life..."
"I'm afraid I'm not putting all the entire battalion in it..."
"Is this silk cloth? Why is it so beautiful?"
"It feels like the skin of a girl..."
"How come this color sways like running water..."
"What's this thing? It's bitter, spicy and choking. It's such a waste of time, so good that the jar and bag are... "
"How come this rice and grain are green and red? Is it just dyed it as color? Is it still something that makes people eat?"
"What's the use of big bundles of rotten branches there? Why are you still wrapped with silk?
"Why are there many flowers and plants? Unfortunately, they are not fragrant and cannot be eaten..."
"Gold, so many weird and real gold."
"Let me bite first...Oh,"
"It's not those copper goods that are scammering with color...."
"Have Xu Erdengzi ever got a piece of fingertips, but he stayed close to his body day and night, and wanted to swallow it in his stomach..."
"This makes people eat ground intensive food for several lifetimes, but they can't make a profit..."
"This ingot can be used to make a whole body of outfit..."
"There are still broken stones and gravels, so they can be hidden in the box..."
