Zhu Biao nodded after listening to Han Du's words and no longer insisted on letting Han Du take him through the Sea of Storms. He knew that Han Du would not lie to him on such a major matter, since Han Du said that he was not sure of crossing.
Sea of Storms, that is enough to illustrate how terrifying this Sea of Storms is.
It was not that Zhu Biao was timid, but that after he had truly seen the power of the storm, he believed that it was unmatched by humans.
No matter how great your courage is, it can't compete with the real power of heaven and earth. That's not called bravery, that's called recklessness!
After giving up Zhu Biao's idea of passing through the Storm Sea, Han Du began to discuss with Zhu Biao about going to Tianfang.
"Your Highness, Tianfang and we don't understand the language. If we go, how will we communicate with them?"
Zhu Biao raised his head and said matter-of-factly: "Why don't we go with Hade?"
Shaking his head, Han Du said with a smile: "Your Highness, this place is different from the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty is vast, since the Emperor Qin's book and Wen Chai were on the same track, they all spoke the same Chinese language. But here, maybe a small
The kingdom has a completely different language. Well, it means ten miles of different pronunciation and five miles of different tones."
"Although Hader is a native of Horumus, he probably doesn't know much about heaven."
"Well," Zhu Biao hesitated, "Why don't we call him and ask him?"
Han Du shook his head gently and said, "No, even if Hader understands Tianfang language, we can't continue to use him."
"Why?" Zhu Biao couldn't understand this. He had always asked Hader to help him explain it to Khrumos Handu. Why did he suddenly want to push him away now?
Seeing that Zhu Biao still didn't understand, Han Du had no choice but to explain: "After all, Hader is a native of Horumus. How much nostalgia he has for Horumus and how loyal he is to us is unknown.
He is loyal to us now. No one knows whether he is truly loyal or just because we help him find his goods and prevent him from going bankrupt."
"So, my idea is that we can't rely too much on him. Even if we go to Tianfang, even if he understands Tianfang language, we can't use him."
Knowing and employing people is the art of an emperor, and Lao Zhu taught him it from his childhood. Zhu Biao didn't expect this just now, but now that Han Du mentioned it, he understood it instantly.
He nodded in agreement with Han Du's view, and then asked: "Then where are you going to find someone who understands Tianfang language?"
Han Du hasn’t thought about this yet.
It was because Han Du hadn't thought about it yet that he brought it up to discuss with Zhu Biao.
Seeing Han Du looking directly at him, Zhu Biao lowered his head and racked his brains and said: "Since this Tianfang is also a big kingdom, and it is not too far away from Horumus, then it is very likely that they will meet with him.
He has some connections with Horumus. Why don’t we go to the city lord’s palace to look for him, maybe there is such a person?”
Han Du sat down in front of Zhu Biao, tapped his fingers on the long table a few times, and shook his head slowly, "No. Even if the city lord is willing to help, we can't use the people he sent. These people are different from Hard.
, we saved Hader's life and gave him his goods in exchange. That's why he will help us wholeheartedly, but the people in the City Lord's Mansion have nothing to do with us. If we use them, wouldn't it be
It's equivalent to letting the city lord put an informant around us. Doesn't he know exactly what we did in Tianfang?"
Zhu Biao looked into Han Du's eyes and said nothing.
After Han Du pondered for a while, he said softly: "Perhaps, we can try to buy a slave who can speak Tianfang dialect."
"Slave?" Zhu Biao frowned after hearing this. He was quite dissatisfied with this kind of behavior of directly treating people as livestock. In the Ming Dynasty, there was no such thing as selling oneself into slavery. At most, one would do long-term labor for others.
Zhu Biao was kind-hearted by nature, so naturally he didn't want to think about these cruel things.
"Just a slave."
After listening to Han Du's words, Zhu Biao himself couldn't think of a better way, so he nodded and said: "Then do what you want."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Han Du smiled and cupped his hands.
The next day, Han Du set off again and got on the carriage to the Punk Slave Market. However, this time Han Du was not accompanied by Harder, but two people from the Shi family.
Arriving at the slave market, Han Du opened the wooden door and stepped out of the carriage. As soon as he turned around, his eyes met Punk who was tremblingly trying to get off the carriage.
Han Du smiled the first time he saw Punk, as if he was thinking of whatever he wanted.
After Punk saw Han Du, a smile instantly appeared on his face and he greeted Han Du from a distance.
Shi Si quickly approached Han Du's ear and whispered: "He is greeting the Marquis."
Han Du nodded slightly after hearing this, and the smile on his face became even brighter. He opened his arms and walked forward, and said happily: "It turns out to be Mr. Punk, whom I have admired for a long time."
Punk was slightly taken aback by Han Du's actions and stood there without hugging Han Du.
When Han Du saw it, he immediately understood. Is there no hugging etiquette here? He immediately retracted his arm.
Shi Si said a few words to Punk. Although his language was not very proficient, his enunciation was clear and Punk could understand it completely without any problems.
Punk looked at Shi Si in surprise, and then asked Han Du: "What you said is right. Are you from the Ming Empire or from Horumus?"
Shi Si was stunned by Punk's words, and then Nono lowered his head and did not answer.
Han Du glanced sideways at him, looking a little bad, and asked in a deep voice: "What's wrong? What did he say?"
"He said." Shi Si hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said quickly: "When he saw that what I said was pretty good, he asked me if I was from the Ming Dynasty or from Hurumos?"
Han Du took a deep look at Shi Si and said directly: "Then just tell him that you are from the Ming Dynasty. What is there to hesitate about?"
Shi Si's face lit up with joy, and he turned around and answered Punk with confidence. ??
Shi Si was born in Jiugang and grew up in Jiugang. Although Jiugang has been taken over by the Ming Dynasty and the Jiugang Xuanwei Department has been established, he doesn’t know whether he is a Ming person or not. Those who want to talk about Jiugang are Ming people.
Well, they were not included in the Ming Dynasty's Fish Scale Yellow Book. To say that they were not from the Ming Dynasty, they lived in the Xuanwei Department of the Old Port of the Ming Dynasty.
Even Shi Si himself couldn't figure it out, so when he faced Punk's questions, he hesitated to answer.
But now, Han Du has directly determined their identities, and they are Ming people.
When Punk heard that Shi Si was really from the Ming Empire, and saw that his words were so good, he sighed and said a few words to Han Du.
After hearing this, Shi Si smiled a little because Punk praised him again. However, he did not tell Han Du and directly told Han Du the key information: "Master Hou, he asked us if we want to
By purchasing slaves, he can provide us with some convenience."
This is really when sleepiness comes to the pillow and catches up.
Han Du nodded directly and said: "That's just right. I want to buy some slaves who can speak Tianfang language. Ask him if he has such slaves now?"
Shi Si told Punk about Han Du's request.
Han Du originally thought that this would not be difficult for Punk. After all, he controls such a large slave market with thousands of slaves. What is the point of finding one or two slaves who can speak Tianfang language? This place is already far away from Tianfang.
It's not very far.
Can
After hearing this, Punk shook his head and leaned slightly toward Han Du with apology.
Han Du suddenly felt bad and looked sideways at Shi Si.
Sure enough, Shi Si's face darkened after hearing this, and Nuonuo said to Handu: "He said that he did not have the slaves that the Marquis needed here. He explained some, saying that the slaves he had here were all Hulumos.
Nearby, for places so far away, he has no business there."
Sorry, Han Du's heart sank after hearing this. If he couldn't find anyone who could understand Tianfang dialect here, he would have no choice but to go to the city lord's mansion. But Han Du was extremely unwilling to have an informant come in, so Han Du wouldn't do it unless he had to.
I don't want to go to the city lord for help.
"Ask him again and let him think carefully, where can he find such a person?" Han Du sounded a little anxious.
Shi Si nodded quickly, turned around and asked Punk.
After hearing this, Punk thought for a moment and gave Shi Si a suggestion.
Shi Si's face suddenly became happy when he heard this, and he said to Han Du: "Master Marquis, he suggested that we go to the Yamer Slave Market."
"Amer Slave Market? Where is that?" Han Du asked Punk directly.
After listening to Shi Si's report, Punk explained it to Han Du.
"Master Marquis, according to Punk, this Marquis of Yamo has also met. He is the slave owner who bought the brocade at the auction, and is Punk's enemy."
"So it's him." Han Du nodded, remembering who it was.
Then, he looked at Punk with deep meaning and asked: "If I am not wrong, you and him should be sworn enemies. Why are you helping him introduce business now? Aren't you afraid of Yamo?"
After getting the benefits, will they turn against you?"
Punk understood what Han Du meant, then laughed, shook his head and sighed.
"Master Marquis, he said that if Yamo was the only one, of course he would not help him. But because the Marquis needs it, he will choose to help the Marquis."
Han Du looked at Punk with a smile. Sure enough, no one who could do such a big business was a fool. Punk didn't have what Han Du needed, so he couldn't be of much help. But that day, he knew that his enemy might have something in his hands.
Sometimes, without any concealment, he directly told Han Du the news. This seemed to encourage his enemies, but at the same time, he also gained Han Du's gratitude.
Compared to Yamer, Punk favors Handu more. As long as he can leave a good impression on Handu and build a good relationship with Handu, even if Yamer takes advantage, it is worth it.
