"But I dare to just set the price alone, it is several times higher than the profit he earns! But he knows the price of our purchases. We don't know how much it costs. It's not his calculations!"

"Uh, this doesn't mean that he first made a fortune from you to buy goods and sell goods. After selling it, he still had to share half of the profit? Is this still a partner?" Zhao Hu was surprised.

"Partner? Bah! It sounds nice. Even we have to give cash to get goods! It's not that we bully us without sea boats and no source of goods! That guy is definitely not just our sales line, otherwise he wouldn't dare to treat us like this!" Kate said angrily.

Zhao Hu thought for a moment, then suddenly asked Nangong Dun: "Do you two know the source of goods on the Southeast Peninsula?"

As soon as Zhao Hu said this, the shrewd Peter immediately browned. He realized that Zhao Hu was about to change his partner.

Of course, Zhao Hu would not be so arrogant that he went to the Free Alliance to find a source of goods. That would be like to die. It would not be discovered by the Free Alliance, but it would be impossible to bypass the Southeast Peninsula, a local snake.

Most of the coastal forces on the Southeast Peninsula survive by smuggling this food. If you don’t want to smuggle trade directly without the exploitation of these local snakes, they will definitely send warships to siege the people who broke their jobs.

Of course, it is different if there is a powerful fleet as a backer, but taking the fleet to the enemy country to purchase goods? Idiots would not do this. So Zhao Hu knew very well that this smuggling activity could not abandon the Southeast Peninsula at all, but it would be possible to change to a partner.

Nangong Dun and Mo De hurriedly knelt down and said, "Sorry, my sir, my subordinates' activities are all in Mingyue City, and the supply of goods near Mingyue City is controlled by the Lord of Mingyue City. If the adults need it, my subordinates are willing to inquire about the source of goods in other places for me."

Peter sighed. He just now hoped that he could have a new source of goods. It seemed that he would still be exploited by that guy.

But these two guys are in Mingyue City? Are they bandits? How do they look like they are Zhao Hu's tribes? The bandits captured just now cannot be loyal to Zhao Hu so quickly, right?

Kate, who understood the meaning of Zhao Hu's question, suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Brother Zhao Hu, don't you have more than 80 sea boats? In this way, we can get the goods directly, and you don't have to share half of the profit after selling it!"

This immediately made Peter's eyes lit up. Although he would definitely raise the price by getting the goods directly, he would not have to share half of the profit in vain. It was worth it to think about it, so he immediately agreed to Zhao Hutou.

Zhao Hu smiled and said, "Let's decide after discussing with the partners. Since the other party will come in two days, we should not waste these two days. Please send someone to dispatch a batch of materials to build a shipyard. Of course, the tools and wood for shipbuilding also require the adults to worry about. As for the funds, the officials will ask the officials' butler Oudi to pay for it."

Although Odi really wanted to participate in the next smuggling negotiations, he thought that he would go to the imperial capital to add personal guards and make blank personal guards certificates, and also test for Zhao Hu whether the way could be done. There were so many things. With Peter, a local snake, I believe that the adults would not suffer any losses, so he willingly accepted the order.

While Peter was in the middle of the company and was instructing his confidants, Kate interrupted, "I'll transfer a brigade to help, will I?"

Peter Kate was startled and said, "Deploy a brigade? Do you want our details to be known in the whole world?"

Kate obviously realized his mistake, but thought that he had not helped, he felt embarrassed to distribute dividends in the future, so he couldn't help asking: "Then how many people will I transfer?"

Zhao Hu was also shocked. More than 10,000 people came over, and he could not afford to support a place like this. Moreover, the gathering of troops from a brigade will definitely attract the attention of the Liberty Alliance and the Southeast Peninsula. If war is caused, it will be a big trouble, so he hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No need to transfer people, after all, the random movement of the security division will attract attention."

Peter knew Kate’s idea, but he only wanted his position as the commander of the security division, and he didn’t need anything to do, so he said angrily: “Your function is to deter and prevent local powerful people from taking our ideas!”

What else Kate thought, at this moment, Zhao Hu also understood what Kate meant and couldn't help but smile: "Why not do this? Can the division commander provide a batch of standard weapons and war horses for the militia of the officials? Because in the next year, the militia of the officials will consume a large number of equipment."

"I can only provide a hundred war horses at most, but I dare to guarantee the weapons, that is, you can give as much as you want." Kate laughed happily, because he found that he was not a waste of food.

Amid Zhao Hu's thanks, Odi secretly curled his lips.

This is the difference between the central and local governments. A division commander can only provide one hundred war horses, while in the imperial capital camp, a logistics officer can sell hundreds of war horses privately. It seems that this time, the imperial capital will have to buy a batch of war horses. Alas, if I had known this, I would not have sold so many horses from the grassland.

After the discussion was completed, everyone immediately started to work hard. Odi took people to carry a large sum of gold coins and went to the provincial capital to shop. As for the 10,000 gold coins he borrowed from Peter last time, they had already been spared by Peter's waved his hand.

With Peter, the provincial governor, the materials were easily purchased, and then he rushed back under Kate's personal guards. After all, Odi ran to the imperial capital as soon as possible.

He knew very well that when he came back, Zhao Huling would be enough to shock him.

Of course, Nangong Dun and Mode also took his confidants to the Southeast Peninsula by boat. Mode's mission is to inquire about information and buy craftsmen. When Nangong Dun has these tasks at the same time, he still needs to rush back to the family to report the situation. As for how the family decides, it is still unknown.

When Sun Jie, the personal guard in charge of intelligence, had to follow Zhou Wen to take a group of militias to recruit merchant groups to reward the militias when he was busy with his own bank.

While Liu Bin, a designer and cartographer, continued to lead the prisoners to build a dock with his personal guards, he also began to design a shipyard.

Locke and Luo Fei began to train militias. Judging from their appearance, the entire battle guards were wiped out, which brought them a great blow.

The civil guards commanded the militia and escorted the bandits and prisoners to start reclaiming fields and building towns. Anyway, everything was carried out according to the plan.

As for the Black Wolf without a mission, I don’t know what it is doing these days. Anyway, it is often nowhere to be seen, and it doesn’t even appear during mealtime.

But no one is worried about it. After all, the black wolf as big as a foal is invincible in this mountain forest.

Two days passed quickly. Zhao Huling had not only added a wheat field that was being reclaimed, several wooden houses on the pier, and the ground in the town was more stable, but there was no change. After all, it was only two days now, so I'm afraid Odi had just arrived in the provincial capital.

With so many workers sent, only Mode had the first news to come back.

In the Lord's Mansion, a fierce man knelt in front of Zhao Hu and said with a flattering expression: "Sir, Master Mod sent someone back to report to you that he had recruited three shipwrecks in the territory of Mingyue City. Since the Lord strictly ordered that the shipwrecks of Mingyue City Lord should not be recruited, these three shipwrecks were all retired masters of the private shipyard.

"Although the leader and the others are old, their skills are pretty good. I hope the adults will be satisfied. Now the leader has left Mingyue City and continues to recruit ship craftsmen for the adults."

"These three boatmen? Are the others their families?" Zhao Hu looked at the three old men with white hair and old faces kneeling behind the man. Behind them, there were five or six men and women, and there was even a young baby.

Peter and Kate, who were sitting aside, both frowned. What was the old guy who was with his family like this? If it weren't for Zhao Hu's territory, they wouldn't have had a lot of trouble, and they would have cursed the man long ago.

"Yes, sir. Haven't you seen sir?" the man shouted to everyone behind him.

"See the Lord..." Hearing this, the man immediately coughed and asked them to change their words: "See the Lord."

The three old men and their families were obviously reminded, and they were not used to such titles, because according to the customs of the Southeast Peninsula, the person who recruited them was their lord.

"What are you good at?" Zhao Hu asked.

"Report to the adults, old... I am good at laying keel bones."

“I’m good at making sails.”

"The old man is good at making pulping rudders." The three old men answered in sequence.

Kate muttered with contempt: "Look at your old bones that can't even take up an axe, and you're good at it."

Peter looked shocked, Damn, these three old guys have one! They are all good at building a ship's most indispensable skills.

Although Zhao Hu didn't understand the skills of shipbuilding, he knew that he was not capable, and Mo De didn't dare to send them. Moreover, Zhao Hu didn't care about their age. After all, although they couldn't get on the horse in person, they could teach their apprentices, so Zhao Hu was satisfied with his head: "What is the monthly salary Mo De promised you?"

The three old men blushed a little, and they felt embarrassed: "Mr. Mode promised that our monthly salary was three times that of the previous one."

"Three times? How much did your monthly salary before?" Zhao Hu continued to ask.

"One hundred and fifty copper coins."

The three old men were nervous. Their salary was very high in the Southeast Peninsula, so they were afraid that Zhao Hu would not be able to pay three times the price.
