Chapter 30 Collusion "Hehe, hehe."
Zhang Zhao knew that he had blown his mind, but he didn't blush at all.
He laughed a few times along with everyone, thought for a while, and continued, "Of course, my lord's energy is limited, and there are some areas that he cannot take care of, which will inevitably be taken advantage of by scoundrels.
But overall, under my lord's rule, It's much better than other places in the Yuan Dynasty.
If you don't believe it, the general manager will send people to the Liaodong area to find out whether Zhang is lying."
"Liaodong" Zhu Chongjiu pondered for a moment, then smiled and waved.
"It doesn't matter, it's too far over there and Zhu can't reach it."
As soon as the word "Liaodong" came out, the other party's intention was already very obvious.
It was nothing more than a certain prince in the north of the Yuan Dynasty who had a dissatisfaction with Tuohuan Timur and wanted to recruit the Huai'an army to help him.
Zhu Chongjiu would not send his brothers to take that risk until he showed enough sincerity and strength.
"It's not far, in fact, it's not far at all."
Zhang Zhao didn't expect Zhu Chongjiu to refuse so bluntly, and hurriedly added loudly, "The chief manager only needs to walk north, and he can take advantage of the situation to capture Dengzhou.
Then your people You can take a sea ship and go straight to Shizikou in about four days at most.
Then you can enter my lord's territory and no one dares to touch them."
"Didn't Shopkeeper Zhang just say that there are many dangers at sea, and if ten ships go out to sea, they can only come back half at most?"
Chen Ji immediately caught the loophole in the other party's words and asked with a frown.
"This" Zhang Zhao was stunned, and his face instantly turned purple and eggplant color.
But soon, he took a breath again and explained with a smile: "Mr.
Chen doesn't know something.
The risks from Dengzhou to Shikou are completely different from those from Jiaozhou to overseas.
From Dengzhou to Shikou In this section, the sea is actually surrounded by Liaodong Road and Shandong Road, and the wind and waves are much smaller than in the outer sea.
I take a boat back and forth more than ten times every year, so I am very familiar with this route.
To ensure the safety of the brothers sent by the Huai'an Army."
"Seriously," Chen Ji frowned, doubtful.
Like most scholars of this era, his knowledge was limited to the interior of China.
We know very little about the situation at sea, so it is impossible to judge whether Zhang Zhao is telling the truth.
You can only put on a show to avoid being at a disadvantage in the negotiation.
"It's true, absolutely true.
If you don't believe it, you can go down below and ask someone else later.
If Cao Min's words are even the slightest bit false, I'm willing to accept any punishment."
Zhang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief quietly, with a smile on his face.
The less Tutu Zhu’s people know about the situation at sea, the easier it will be for him to gain the upper hand in the subsequent negotiations.
And if you continue to be like before, no matter what you say, others will immediately catch the flaw, then today's risk will be in vain.
Even if something can be negotiated, it may not be the result you want.
Unexpectedly, before he could take a deep breath, he saw Zhu Chongjiu tapping the table with his fingers, and said thoughtfully, "Well, if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten.
This is the Bohai Sea, and the water surface is the calmest.
Well, Chen Shenjun, record this situation On paper.
When I get back, tell the managers of the company and ask them to organize their own fleet to run this route.
Use our Huaiyang Mansion's Bingcui to exchange Korean ginseng and war horses from Liaodong, and we should have it every time.
Quite a profit” "Yes" Chen Ji stood up immediately and answered the order loudly.
Looking at Zhang Zhao, the head of the trading company, his face that had just become normal suddenly turned into a bitter melon again.
According to his original expectation, as long as he revealed his intention to join forces, Butcher Zhu would be happy.
After all, Tuotuo's troops are currently suppressing the situation, and any help will be a timely help to the Huai'an army.
Unexpectedly, the person surnamed Zhu didn't accept the call according to common sense.
He said he was doing business and just focused on doing business.

Ignore the strong support that comes to your door, but immerse your head in the eyes of money, it is really going to worry people to death.
Just as he was gritting his teeth with hatred, he heard Zhu Chongjiu ask with a smile, "I'm sending a caravan here to do business, your master won't deny it, right?
Of course, after getting there, how to pump water, just follow the instructions It’s your rules.
Zhu doesn’t interfere.”
Zhang Zhao's heart twitched again, and he forced a smile to respond, "No, absolutely not.
My lord, it's too late to be happy.
How could it be possible not to allow people from Huaiyang Company to do business there?
" After that, before the matter was nailed down, he couldn't wait to add, "If, if the general manager is merciful and can send some brothers who know how to train soldiers, my lord will definitely welcome him.
To be honest, my family will The lord has long been ready to raise the flag of rebellion, but the soldiers in his hands are poorly trained, for fear, for fear."
As soon as they got to the point, they were forced to show weakness to the Huai'an army again.
He was so depressed that his last few words were as weak as gnats.
Zhu Chongjiu didn't mind after hearing this.
He smiled and interrupted in a low voice, "Send some people to help your lord train his troops.
How could it be possible that if your lord repented in the future, wouldn't it be equivalent to Zhu personally sending his brothers into the tiger's mouth?
After all, he is also a Mongolian. , in any case, they are also members of the same clan as Tuohuan Timur."
"No, no, absolutely not.
Cao Min, Cao Min can do what Shen Wansan did and use his body as hostage."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Zhao jumped up and raised his hands and swore, "If there really comes a day, Cao Min would rather be The general manager was killed by a thousand swords.
Cao Min's lord, and Cao Min himself, have a sworn hatred against Hun Jun.
They would never do such an ungrateful thing."
"You are just a shopkeeper, how can you be the boss of others?"
Chen Ji couldn't believe what he said, and asked with a sneer before Zhu Chongjiu made a decision.
"The common man's surname is not Zhang."
Zhang Zhao, the big shopkeeper of Jiaozhou Commercial Bank, was forced to have no choice.
He gritted his teeth and reached out to pull open the front of his robe.
With bronze skin, he immediately appeared in front of everyone.
Between the two strong chest muscles, there is a silver-white wolf head rising up and down.
The tattoo craftsmanship is so exquisite that as you breathe, it feels like you can jump off the ground at any time.
"Unbridled" Yu Tonghai was furious, pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife and scolded him sternly.
Zhang Zhao, the chief manager of Jiaozhou Commercial Bank, changed his previous philistine appearance, knelt down again, and bowed deeply to Zhu Chongjiu, "Liu Zhao, grandson of the 19th generation of the great sage and emperor of tomorrow, Liu Zhao, came to see the governor of Huaiyang.
I wish the general manager a hundred victories in every battle." , has already led troops to the north to regain the old land of the Song Dynasty."
"Yeah" Zhu Chongjiu was finally a little surprised this time.
He quickly stood up from the chair and stretched out his hand to support him, "You are from Khitan, why are you not named Yelu but Liu?"
"Uh, uh, uh huh."
Behind him, a series of coughs came immediately.
Zhang Yi, who joined the army, lowered his head and wiped the tea from his chest.
Feng Guoyong and Chen Ji performed slightly better than him, but they also looked embarrassed, lowered their heads, and did not dare to look this way.
"Chief Qi, the Yelu family is after the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty.
So in addition to the surname Yelu, Liu is also the surname."
Yelu Zhao had something to ask for at this moment, but he did not dare to blame Zhu Chongjiu for being ignorant.
Think about it and tell the truth.
Note 2 "This" Zhu Chongjiu was stunned again, dumbfounded.
In his previous life, he read novels, in which Yelu Chucai, Yelu Qi, and Yelu Hongji were all outstanding.
So subconsciously, I thought that the Daliao royal family was proud of the surname Yelu.
Unexpectedly, people actually recognized their ancestors and became relatives with Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty.

Yelvzhao didn't know that Zhu Chongjiu's thoughts had gone back to his previous life, and he saw a strange look on his face.
He kowtowed again and added indignantly, "I, the Yelv clan of the Liao Dynasty, are the direct blood descendants of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.
I took refuge outside the Great Wall during the Dong Zhuo Rebellion.
I have been lying on the firewood and tasting courage for nearly a thousand years before I can revive the glory of my ancestors.
However, the world is unfair, and Emperor Tian Zuo died in vain.
Jurchen shepherd slaves Although the descendants of the clan tried hard to cheer up, they were repeatedly bullied by foreigners and had to go through many hardships before they could reestablish their homeland.
Unfortunately, the Mongols betrayed their promise and took away our country. " "Okay, okay, I understand.
You are a descendant of Yelu Dashi, who once founded the Western Liao Kingdom."
Zhu Chongjiu was the most impatient to hear people talking about family history.
He waved his hand and interrupted in a low voice.
Note 3 Just like he himself is said to be a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang, no one knows how true it is.
In the 21st century, except for the fact that no one mistakenly identifies Qin Hui as their ancestor, almost all emperors and sages in history have countless different versions of their genealogy.
So in his eyes, it doesn't matter whether he has a family tree or not.
Anyway, there are at least eight out of ten, which is purely far-fetched.
"It's not Yelv Dashi.
Although Dezong was a genius, he came from a side branch of Taizu."
Unexpectedly, Yelvzhao was more interested in Zhen'er.
He shook his head and continued to declare loudly, "Brother Baliu, the fourth ancestor of Caomin, is The great-great-great-grandson of Emperor Tianzuo raised troops in the first year of Chongqing of the puppet Jin Dynasty and re-established the Liao Kingdom."
Note 4 This period of history was seriously beyond the scope of Zhu Chongjiu's knowledge.
Hearing this, his eyes widened and he was confused.
When Chen Ji, who joined the army, saw this, he stepped forward and explained in a low voice, "He is talking about Yelu Liuge, the later king of Liao, who once brought Mongolia as foreign aid to restore the Liao Kingdom.
He also accepted the title of King of Liao from Temujin Khan and was Xu Yi will always control Liaodong for generations.
After the Yuan Dynasty seized the Central Plains, Kublai Khan reduced the princes and grandchildren of Liao to official positions, and the Liao Kingdom was destroyed."
When Yelu Zhao heard this, his eyes immediately turned blood red.
He gritted his teeth and said loudly, "Although I, the Yelv family, have lost the country, we have never lost the will of our ancestors.
We have endured the humiliation and waited for changes.
Now our descendants are all over Liaodong and Liaonan, and they all hold important positions.
If Manager Zhu is willing to lend a helping hand, , we will definitely be able to summon the Khitan men to spread the flames of war all over the outside of the Great Wall.
By then, General Manager Zhu is in the south, and I, the Yelu family, are in the north.
Why not overthrow the tyranny of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and restore the Han Dynasty."
Note 1: Shishikou is now Lushun.
According to historical records, the navy of the Ming Dynasty set out from Denglai and arrived at Shizikou for three days and three nights, so Shishikou was renamed Lushun.
Note 2: The Yelu family took Liu as their surname.
In order to invade the Central Plains in the future, Yelu Abaoji specially declared himself as the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
After that, his surname was Liu and his given name was Yi.
Note 3: Yelu Dashi, a member of the Khitan royal family, once won the first prize in the examination.
After the fall of Liao, he led his tribe to the west and established Western Liao in Central Asia.
More than eighty years later, Western Liao was destroyed by Mongolia.
Note 4: Brother Yeluliu, a Khitan, calls himself the Khitan royal family.
In 1212, he raised troops to fight against the Jin, united with Mongolia to defeat the Jin army, and established the Eastern Liao Kingdom.
Later, he attached himself to Mongolia, and his descendants were deeply respected by Ogedai Khan.
After Kublai Khan, who was from the Tuore clan, seized the throne of Khan, he attacked the supporters of the Ogodai clan, and Dongliao was cut off from the vassalage
