Trying to update three times tonight————With this understanding, Zhou Jiping felt a lot more relaxed. A person who is open to money is better than a person with ulterior motives. Thinking of this, Zhou Jiping gently
He nodded and said: "Oh, so that's the case. I don't know if General Makunda knows what kind of cooperation we take with the Bushmen? What's more, our cooperation is established in the entire southern tribal area.
If we were asked to abandon cooperation with the Bushmen and instead cooperate with General Makunda, we might not be able to do so."
Hearing Zhou Jiping say this, Handney's eyes suddenly lit up: There is a way! Fortunately, he was well prepared before coming. With these, he is not afraid that the chief will not agree with his cooperation plan.
"We all know some of these things through Mr. Huang Pihu. Our General Makunda has cooperated with Mr. Huang Pihu for many years. When he heard that we were coming this time, Mr. Huang even wrote a letter specifically for us.
"Please take a look." As he spoke, Handney respectfully handed a letter to Zhou Jiping.
Zhou Jiping took the letter and saw a few powerful pen words written on the envelope - Dear Chief Zhou Jiping. The most striking thing is that these words were actually written in traditional Chinese characters, which seemed yellow.
Pihu really thinks of himself as an overseas Chinese who immigrated here in the early years.
But this time, a problem arises. I must not reply to Huang Pihu, otherwise he will find that he is using simplified Chinese characters. It is no wonder that a country's fonts have been so large in decades.
Change, I'm afraid this detail is beyond the imagination of E Rose's spies. It is not a big flaw, but it is completely fatal at the critical moment. Thinking like this, Zhou Jiping has already added a layer of caution in his heart.
Opening the letter, I found that the main text of the letter was also written in traditional Chinese characters, although some of the traditional Chinese characters in it were wrong. What’s even more interesting is that maybe Huang Pihu was afraid that he, a so-called overseas Chinese, wouldn’t understand it, so he actually wrote this article.
Semi-intelligible ancient prose
Damon Chief Mr. Zhou Junjian:
After many days apart, I still remember that night when we got together by the bonfire in Suoyue. I am still thinking about it today. I am still happy that your martial arts, your strategy, your courage and wisdom all made Huang admire him. He will go to Suoyue again someday.
Brother, I hope you will give me some advice.
You may not know it, but your name has spread throughout the northern and southern parts of Muntaya. The tribal alliance is growing in strength, and everyone is looking at you. All benevolent people admire the current Zongjupa General Makunda, who has been with me for many years, and he is entrenched in Mongolia.
He can be regarded as the overlord of one party, and he will still have the power to aspire to be the leader of Meng in the future.
I have been engaged in the arms business for many years and am well aware of the inconvenience of trans-oceanic transportation. The Chamon Sea is controlled by two parties, one is Masuari and the other is General Zongjupa. I believe that cooperation with Bushman is very necessary.
But when it comes to the conditions of arms transportation, the other side should be inferior to General Ma. If they deal with Ma, whether they send people to travel on the grassland in the name of a caravan, or pretend to use fishing boats or official ships to travel on the sea, the convenience is greater than
engrosdo
Moreover, the economy in the north is sluggish and food is in short supply. The south is in urgent need of supplies of salt, potatoes, meat, skins, etc. If there will be secret trade with the army in northern Mongolia, it may be necessary to strengthen people-to-people exchanges and increase the sense of closeness between the people of the north and the south. This will be resolved in the future.
****, the war may be avoidable, but it is also unknown
I believe that the friendship between you and Bushman cannot be abolished, but grain, cloth, goods and other non-prohibited items can be transported there. Medicines, arms, radios and other items can be imported from the northern channel. Kuang Ma Gaoyi, part of
The weapons are sold at low prices, which shows his sincerity in cooperating with you.
I have heard: If you get a friend, you are good; if you get an enemy, you will be evil. If a brother and a horse get along with each other, there may be trouble in the future.
I hope you will think twice. Huang paused.
x year x month x day
It wasn't until he finished reading the letter that Zhou Jiping sighed softly in his heart: It's not a fuel-efficient lamp.
At first, he thought it was funny that Huang Pihu wrote a letter in this way, but then he figured it out. Maybe Huang Pihu was trying to test him because if he replied, he would inevitably reveal his fault; and if he didn't reply,
Then your suspicion will be even greater. This is a difficult problem that the other party has posed for you.
I remember that Petrov once told himself that Huang Pihu was just an arms dealer related to E Rose and had nothing to do with spies. He didn't know Zhou Jiping's true identity, but Zhou Jiping felt a little strange now.
I'm just an arms dealer. I give you money and you sell me arms. Why are you so concerned about my identity? Is it just out of curiosity? Looking at the current situation, I have to be careful every step in the future, otherwise I will regret it if I make a mistake.
Got it
Looking at the nondescript letter in front of him, Zhou Jiping wondered how he should deal with it.
Yes! Zhou Jiping suddenly had an idea. He took out a homemade charcoal pen and wrote in the blank space of the letter paper: "There is no paper to ask for, so I can't reply to the letter. I hope you will forgive me and think about it carefully." The following is
His signature: Brother Zhou Dunshou
Zhou Jiping's self-made charcoal pen was relatively thick, so the blank space after writing these words was almost used. Of course, Zhou Jiping also used traditional Chinese characters when he wrote these words. He thought to himself, if you do this, at least you have no clue.
But it turns out that Zhou Jiping originally forgot to add the purchase of paper and pens to the trade. Now it seems that it is just right.
Zhou Jiping folded the envelope, handed it to Handney without even sealing it, and said, "Please pass it to Mr. Huang." Handney nodded in agreement and put the letter away.
"Tell me, what are your plans?" Zhou Jiping still spoke expressionlessly, but the content of his words gave Handney great confidence.
Handney immediately became energetic: "This is our plan: in the dry season, we can use pack teams to transport goods, and in the rainy season, we can take advantage of the rising water in the Corinne River to use flat-bottomed boats to transport goods upstream.
about"
A simple sentence, but it really moved Zhou Jiping. If the ship can really be connected to Soyo, it would be a huge benefit, because Zhou Jiping knew that the cost of this mode of transportation is comparable to that in Soyo.
Well, using trucks to transport goods on the highway is much faster and more labor-saving.
"But why can it only be in the rainy season?" Zhou Jiping asked, completely unaware that he had said the wrong thing.
Handney smiled and laughed at Zhou Jiping's ignorance of the hydrological changes of the Corinne River. "Great Chief, that's because only after the water rises in the rainy season, the river bed of the Corinne River can allow ships of about ten tons to pass, and it's also
