177 Cosmopolitan Ambition

"Jiao Jiao was a powerful family in the county and once served as the commander of the Qiang Dynasty. Therefore, people at that time respectfully called him "Jiao Zhengqiang". Because he had good friends with foreign merchants, he was also called "Hu Lao". He had many visitors and was rampant in the villages. The counties and counties did not dare to provoke him easily. He despised the poor and loved noble people. He liked to accept famous scholars and refused to resist poor scholars. Therefore, he criticized him a lot." Yu Fan knew very well.

"I'm sorry for the poor and the noble?" Zhou Hui smiled and said, "I've seen a lot of people like this. It's not surprising. However, when Haicheng travels to Yangzhou, this person is a local tyrant, or can be used by our master. Once you come to the door to post, you can see him."

"What the Duwei said is very true. It is rumored that this man is well-informed and has a good relationship with foreign merchants and often stays in the market to protect the enemy. Over time, he is falsely called "Lao Hu". "Yu Fan replied: "The Duwei's departure may be beneficial to the country. Moreover, this person is despised as poor and noble, which is also beneficial to the Duwei, and acts according to the opportunity." The implication is that Zhou Hui, the young lord, commanded the Duwei of Shuiheng, was naturally noble. He should be loved by Jiao Jiao.

"In this way, I'll order someone to reply and make an appointment for a date." Zhou Hui immediately made a plan.

"Here." Yu Feng came out.

A thousand miles of waterway, a submersible ship in Ji Kingdom can reach one day. Even if the north wind is running, the name of the sailing route will not be two days away. Three days back and forth, the news has been sent back from Juzhang (ɡōu zhāng). Youlin set sail and headed to Juzhang Port. "The land of King Goujian of Yue went to Juyu in the south, and then joined Wu. Because of the great city Juyu and Zhang (Zhang) Bo (Ba) to show his descendants, he was called Juzhang." Goujian destroyed Wu and presented tribute to King Yuan of Zhou. The King of Zhou gave Goujian a gift and also signed Goujian as "Bo" (the leader of the princes). Later, Goujian was the descendants of Xiang, and promoted Wu Fengbo's merits, and changed Juyu from the south of the original Yue Kingdom to Juzhang.

In the first year of Yuanfeng of Emperor Wu, "sending troops to attack the East Yue" and in the sixth year of Yuanding, "Han of Henghai General Han said Ju Zhang and floated from the east." As a military port, since the Han Dynasty, Ju Zhang Port has become increasingly prosperous. Later, there were also maritime merchants, and trade flourished, becoming the Dagang of Yangzhou. Ji Guohai City, which often docked and sold Ji Kingdom, the famous products of the Western Regions and Longyou. It was loved by the people. Just because he saw Ji Guohai City often come and go, Jiao Zhengqian personally joined the assassination boarding the ship, trying to meet with the Shuiheng Duwei. Knowing that he was a local tyrant, the Haishi Order did not dare to neglect, the Clippers sent to Nanli Port, which led to the two of them.

You Lin is so big, why bother to say too much?

Without waiting for the berth to berth in the sea, countless people stopped to watch.

The glorious heavenly Han Dynasty is the highest, with iron wall piercings and a dock on the sea. Even Jiao Hu Lao was also in awe. He pointed to the giant ship and said with his fingers, "This is the ambition of the world."

"What Mr. Hu said is very true." The guests all said yes. Among the crowd, there were two brothers with their eyes that were as fierce as ordinary people.

When the ship stopped steadily, the ladder on the side of the sky landed. The Haishi Order then led Jiao Jiao to meet.

"Meet the commander." Jiao Jiaoxianli.

"I've seen Mr. Hu." Zhou Hui bowed back.

Zhou Hui was dominant in the countryside, and was favored by Jiao Jiao. The so-called "people are divided into groups, and birds of birds gather together" is nothing more than this. For ordinary people, Jiao Hu Lao was unattainable. However, for Zhou Hui, Hu Lao was polite and honest, and knew how to advance and retreat.

After thinking about it, Yu Fan was awakened.

Even though the sky is so big, not everyone can be as humble as King Ji. "Prespect the wise and the inferior" and "treat the same people."

"Please get on the ship and have a sigh." Zhou Hui extended his hand to invite him.

"Please, please." Jiao Jiao bowed and responded.

The two of them rode on the "main ladder" in the sky together and rose to the side of the boat. On the left and right of the main ladder, there was a ladder that was arranged to land several meters, called "follower ladder". The followers all boarded the boat. They entered the side hall and waited quietly without mentioning it.

The large ships in Jiguo's government agencies all have animal power, wind power, hydraulic power, manpower, and multiple drives. Multiple measures are taken to save time and effort.

Dengjue Room. The floor-to-ceiling glass windows surrounded by three sides. The sea view of Juzhang was unobstructed. Everyone sighed secretly. It was rumored that the nobles in Luoyang had all the doors and windows that were exchanged for the water-green glass of Ji Kingdom. However, in terms of style, there was no right person who went out to travel to Lin.

People at that time did not know. King Ji had ordered a temple to be built to try to build "Qing steel glazed glass". The principle of "quenching and tempering" is not difficult, but how to "quickly cool away from water" still needs to cooperate with the temple and the Fangji Pavilion. Imagine that in time, craftsmen and alchemists in Ji will find a solution. King Ji will wait and see.

The guest and host took a seat, and the maid presented incense tea. Zhou Hui smiled and said, "I often hear that 'a thousand feet', 'a thousand feet', 'a thousand chariots', can be 'comparable to the family of thousands of chariots (princes)'. Mr. Hu is rich and powerful, and it is enviable."

If ordinary people say wealth, Jiao Jiao will sneer. However, when talking about wealth and honor to noble people, he is willing to accept it. Jiao Jiao's face showed his expression: "The Duwei praised it. I am just a coincidence and I am lucky to make a fortune."

"I hope to hear the details." Zhou Hui was very interested.

How Jiao Jiaobin will make a fortune? Tell me about how he will make a fortune.

It turned out that many years ago, there were foreign merchants outside the territory, and encountered a storm. The fleet stranded the isolated island and rescued Jiao Jiao. He gained his trust and made a fortune in the market. After two rounds, Jiao Jiao was like Yan Rou, and was well-known and trusted by foreign merchants. Later, he protected both the buyers and sellers, and even bought the Han Dynasty's scenery on his behalf. He was called "Lao Hu" by the Hong Kong merchants, so he became richer. Later, he bought a lot of land, raised his disciples, and dominated the country.

"So that's it." Zhou Hui said: "I don't know that Mr. Hu has a good recipe for wealth and honor, so I can teach you."

"I won't hide it from the Duwei." Jiao Jiao nodded happily: "I'm having a great fortune and want to share it with the Duwei."

"Where is wealth?" Zhou Hui asked hurriedly.

"Look at the commander." Jiao Jiao pointed to the northeast.

Following Jiao Jiao’s pointing, Zhou Hui looked out the window. The blue sea and the sky were visible.

"What does Mr. Hu mean?" Zhou Hui was puzzled.

"This place is commonly known as 'Zhongshanzhou (Zhoushan Islands)'. In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was the place of 'Yongdong' in Yue. Since the pre-Qin period, some alchemists have sought immortals to climb the island. Because 'in March every year, big fish raise their buns and drum their slapped manes and come from the sea to meet under the reef', since the Han Dynasty, fishermen often moored boats on the island for fishing and hunting. The old man rescued foreign merchants and stranded this island."

"Oh?" Zhou Hui then looked into the Mile Mile.

Jiao Jiao defys the secret of heaven: "There are countless islands here, but there is a large island that can be compared to a county. I heard that King Ji wants to build a river to represent ten ports. Why not choose this island and build one of them?"

"There is fresh water on the island." Zhou Hui asked again.

"The island is densely covered with streams and large mudflats. The commander only needs to intercept the current and control the water, defend the brine and store the brine, go out to sea to fish and hunt, and inland polder fields. The migrants can be self-sufficient." He glanced at Zhou Hui's face and Jiao Jiao said: "The island shore is winding, the capes and bays intersect, and the seaways radiate. Ships traveling back and forth must sail through this place. In a nutshell, 'guard the gateway of the river and strangle the key to the north and south'. It is just because it cannot be mastered, and it is suspended overseas. If it can be used by King Ji, it should be prosperous."

"There are people on the island." Zhou Hui asked again.

"Now it is the eastern border of Zhen County, and there are only wild people on the island. Because it is 'hanging in the island, it is easy to produce thieves', so there are no towns." Jiao Jiao replied.

"In this way, Mr. Hu is willing to follow me to visit the island." Zhou Hui said.
