"Sir, what's going on?" Zheng Zhixun looked at Yan Kai running out of the house in a hurry and thought something had happened.

"It's okay!" Yan Kai turned around and glanced fearfully, then asked, "What are you doing now?"

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and shopkeeper Xu from Jumu Trading Company came over to give us some gifts."

Yan Kai knew this giant wood trading company and was in the timber business.

When Kuoding County was established, many timber was purchased from them.

Later, Kuoding County began to carry out infrastructure construction, and it became a big customer of this giant wood trading company.

I heard that there is some kind of prince behind the other party.

The cooperation between us has been quite pleasant in the past few years, and Jumu Trading Company will usually send some gifts during holidays.

But I didn't expect that it was shopkeeper Xu who came this time.

It is said that this shopkeeper Xu Wenbao was the one who established the Jumu Trading Company together with the Duke. Later, when the Tang Dynasty was established, it was inconvenient for the Duke to come out to do business again, so he became the actual leader of the Jumu Trading Company.

"Shopkeeper Xu is here? Then let me go and meet him too!"

Yan Kai had a good impression of Xu Wenbao, who was willing to provide them with building materials on credit when Kuoding County was first established.

There's no reason why you wouldn't show up when someone comes to your door.

Xu Wenbao settled in the restaurant run by Li Dazui and the others in the county. It was not far away, and the two of them walked directly over.

Before I even entered, I heard a familiar voice.

"No, I don't want to play with you!"

"Why are you like this?"

Who else is it if one of them is not Sanya?

Upon entering, it turned out that it was Sanya, Li Wanshun and Li Lizhi who were confronting a three or four year old girl with pigtails on her head.

"Sanya, what's wrong?" Yan Kai shouted.

As soon as Sanya saw Yan Kai, she rushed over: "Brother, you are back!"

"Yes!" Yan Kai patted her head lovingly, and then asked, "What are you arguing about here?"

"She wants to play with my bamboo dragonfly, but I don't want to let her play with it!"

Yan Sanya pointed at the strange little girl and said.

Seeing an adult coming to Yan Sanya's side, the little girl didn't panic. She bowed slightly to Yan Kai and said, "I'm not trying to steal her toys, I just want to trade my dolls with hers."

Yan Kai looked at the doll in her hand, smiled slightly and said, "This is your own business. As long as there is no fight, you can solve it yourself!"

Then he turned to Sanya and asked: "But Sanya, can you tell this sister why you don't want to switch with her?"

Sanya thought for a while and said, "Because we, the bamboo dragonfly, can take turns playing with each other. If we change her doll, it would not be fun for the three of us to play with one doll!"

Sometimes children's thinking is so simple and direct.

The strange little girl thought for a while and said, "I have two more puppets that I can play with you!"

Yan Sanya looked at the two puppets, plus a doll, and finally nodded.

At this time Xu Wenbao ran out and was relieved when he saw the strange little girl.

"Tian'er, if you keep running around like this, Uncle Xu won't dare to take you out next time."

Yan Kai saw four little girls already playing together.

He smiled and said to Xu Wenbao: "Long time no see, Shopkeeper Xu. Is this your girl?"

"I've met Yan Zhixian." Xu Wenbao said: "This is the daughter of my old friend. She loves to play by nature. This time I heard that I am coming to Kuoding County, which is one of the best in the world. I will follow you no matter what."

With just one sentence, Yan Kai was flattered.

"Hahahaha, Shopkeeper Xu is so complimentary." Yan Kai, Xu Wenbao and Zheng Zhixun sat down: "I was busy in Korea some time ago, and I almost missed Shopkeeper Xu."

He had heard that Xu Wenbao planned to go back to celebrate the New Year today.

"Yan Zhi County is so humble!" Xu Wenbao said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that this time Yan Zhi County made an immortal contribution to the young heroes of Goryeo."

The two exchanged some polite words before Xu Wenbao asked: "I heard that Yanzhi County rented some land in Fusang, but I don't know about the trees on the land..."

Yan Kai looked at Xu Wenbao, no wonder it was almost the Chinese New Year. Xu Wenbao, as the head of Jumu Trading Company, was still waiting for him in Kuoding County. It turned out that he had something to ask for.

He also understood what Xu Wenbao meant. To put it simply, he was asking himself if he could go there and cut down trees.

Don't think that trees in the Tang Dynasty can be cut down at will. "Tang Lv Shu Yi·Za Lv" writes: Those who destroy trees and grow crops are considered robbers.

Specifically, there are time and geographical restrictions on tree felling.

It’s no wonder that Jumu Trading Company’s business is getting bigger and bigger, and now it has set its sights overseas.

"Don't worry, Magistrate Yan, the cost involved..."

Before Xu Wenbao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yan Kai: "Shopkeeper Xu is worrying too much. When I first established Kuoding County, I received a lot of help from shopkeeper Xu."

"Where." When Xu Wenbao heard what Yan Kai said, he knew there was a way.

"But in the Fuso area, the most useful wood is probably cypress, right?"

"Yanzhi County is indeed knowledgeable. Our Jumu Trading Company is indeed planning to go to Fuso to mine cypress trees."

This cypress is indeed a good wood for building furniture. The "Horyuji Temple" built in Fuso more than ten years ago was built with cypress.

More than 1300 years later, Horyuji Temple, as one of the oldest wooden buildings in the world, still retains 65% of its original cypress wood.

You can see the superiority of this wood.

"Of course there is no problem in mining cypress, but does Shopkeeper Xu have any plans to go south?" Yan Kai asked with a smile: "As far as I know, there are a lot of precious woods in the south."

Xu Wenbao's eyes lit up: "Zhixian Yan is talking about rosewood?"

The use of red sandalwood can be traced back to the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Cui Bao's "Gujinzhu" of the Jin Dynasty is the earliest book to record red sandalwood.

It was not until Zheng He returned from his voyages that red sandalwood was widely used in the production of furniture.

If Yan Kai is willing to use his fleet to take their giant wood trading company to Nanyang, it will undoubtedly be a surprise.

"That's right!" Yan Kai nodded and said, "Next year we in Kuoding County plan to build a few boats and then run to the south. If Shopkeeper Xu is interested, we can go together then."

"I'm interested, of course I'm interested!" Xu Wenbao said happily.

At that time, I took the initiative to help Kuoding County, but I didn't expect that it would pay off in just two years.

Although there is no contract signed, everyone at this time is spitting and making mistakes.

I will never regret it again easily.

Xu Wenbao insisted on treating him, so Yan Kai followed him.

During the meal, of course, I called the little girl who started the meal.

Yan Kai didn't let Sanya and the three go back. Li Lizhi was about to leave, and she was very sticky with Sanya and Li Wanshun.

Anyway, there is no shortage of food for the children here in Li Dazui.

After eating, Xu Wenbao left.

"Zhi County Yan, then I will go back first. I have to send this girl to the Duke's mansion first."

The two are now considered close partners.

In the past, Xu Wenbao had always been secretive about who the prince was working with him. After all, the status of businessmen in this era was not high.

His old friend, who was a businessman and became a prince, always felt that it was inappropriate to show his name in the mall.

So in the past, even Yan Kai only roughly knew that there was a Duke behind Jumu Trading Company.

Today I finally found out that it was Duke Ying.

Wait, Duke Ying?

Yan Kai asked Zheng Zhixun beside him blankly: "Dong Ying... is his surname Wu?"

"Yes, the warrior Yu should be tabooed in the name of the Duke of the country."

Yan Kai looked at the little girl who was pulled into the car by Xu Wenbao.

Xu Wenbao called her Tianer!

Less than four years old now!

Born in AD 624!

Dad is Samurai Yu!
