In the morning to buy slaves and horses, everything went well.

In the afternoon, Zhou Qingfeng vacated the cargo in the biplane and let Guo Jiao fly it back to Tianjin.Miss Guo was lazy and refused to go back, and she let the flat hair fly as an autopilot.The reason is that the flat hair will not be tired, at night by navigation equipment and simple air pressure meters can fly, do not worry about falling into the sea and hitting the mountain.The 10,000-kilometer journey can be completed day and night, and can be completed in less than two days.

The most loyal flat hair is very happy to take on this chore.It actually controlled the steering wheel and tail rudder on its own two fine claws and took off directly.

At least five days after the return of the flat hair, Guo took over the role of mistress in the monastery, using Santos's translation to arrange for the ghost servants and female slaves who had just bought him to work.In the evening, an auction will be held in the monastery, and at any time, it will be arranged.

After the flat hair went away, Zhou Qingfeng repeatedly considered the world map in the house.Before this long trip, he had considered the matter of sea trade, but any fanciful thought would be deeper than the feeling of looking at the field.

Before departure, Zhou Qingfeng felt that the Europeans controlled several cities in East Asia at most, and the power should not be strong.But in Macau, in Goa, the ocean-going sailboats in the harbor, the missionary priests in the church, the Arab merchants in the halls, they all made him aware of the strength of his competitors, and he had to have a broader vision—a ability that a leader must have.

“Although I have not yet unified the whole of China, it is necessary to properly lay out the global layout.”Zhou Qingfeng stared at the map of the South Asian subcontinent, "because of India, the British national strength will advance by leaps and bounds in the next few hundred years."India's grain, cotton, tea and other crops have brought huge benefits to the British.

Also because of the Indian, Dutch, Portuguese, and Spaniards all gained unimaginable status.Portugal does not count even a great power in the future, but it still earns great wealth from overseas interests.My space-time island and biplanes work together to give you a huge transportation advantage.Everyone eats this fat in India, and there is no reason why I cannot eat it."

The expansion of the "Revolutionary Army" in the Central Plains has entered a bottleneck period, and the capture of North Korea is also allowed to be self-governing, and the capture of Shandong does not carry out factual occupation.But in faraway South Asia, as long as a simple trade point can harvest huge benefits, there is no reason not to work hard for it - the idea of "take a go" is too timid, Zhou Qingfeng blushed for his short and shallow eyes.

“Santos, are there people in town who know a lot of languages like you?”Chinese, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, English, French, Indian dialect, Arabic, as long as I know more than three kinds of people, regardless of age and men, I can hire.Does Zhou Qingfeng feel foreign trade and first solve the language difficulties.

“Yes, yes.”Santos nodded, “Goa is a port, and there are many people who know multiple languages.”But most of the kids I know are kids, would you hire them?”

“Didn’t I hire you?One silver dollar a month, eat and live, double the knowledge of Chinese, you first recruit me ten translators.I hope that the people you recruit will not have any bad problems, otherwise I will punish them.”Zhou Qingfeng threw out the soul stone of the black samurai, so that this burly and terrible big guy standing at the door of the monastery as a door god should be able to produce some deterrent.

Santos was shocked by the two-meter-high puppet samurai, but he soon realized that he should be more happy.

"Come and buy some food, and we'll have a lot of people in a minute."When he thinks of food, he is not happy.India is only one-third of China’s, but it has more arable land than China.God is really bullying people, but the most industrious people in the world has not had enough land.And the Indians . . . the untouchables are not seen as human beings.

Mr. Zhou’s promise of employment cheered Santos, who immediately rushed out of the monastery’s doors to recruit his own friends.Although he only followed Zhou Qingfeng for one day, he knew that he had met a big man.It was his good fortune and must be held firm.

Santos was happy, but Father Marcelo returned with a distraught head.In front of Zhou Qingfeng, he swore that he knew the big merchants in the city, but he ran all day but failed to win any Portuguese businessman willing to come to the auction in the evening.

When Marcelo suddenly announced that he knew an oriental aristocrat who could sell fine silk and porcelain, everyone felt that he was bullshit.Because there are no new ships in the port, and even the Portuguese governor of the city does not know what the "nobility of the East" can have this kind of luck to a fallen priest?

"Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, maybe your evening's auction will be colder."Father Marcelo was ashamed.He was afraid that Zhou Qingfeng would be angry, which would affect his future."I need more time to inform you, and perhaps tomorrow I can introduce you to the local Governor."

Although a little lost, it is "unexpected, reasonable" thing.There is no social media this year, and it is impossible to suddenly come up with a big person.If there is, it is likely to be a liar - the nobles of the East have fallen from the sky, and it is not normal to listen to this matter.

Zhou Qingfeng laughed a few times and said: "As far as I know, your country's navigator, His Excellency Da Gama, in the process of conquering India, directly forced the local king to submit by shelling the city, and massacred the Indian indigenous people and plundered wealth along the way.He was honoured when he returned to Portugal, but spread the disaster on the course he found.”

Marcelo Tongxing, I don't know what Zhou Qingfeng said what it means?

Zhou Qingfeng continued to sneer: "I understand the psychology of businessmen in your country, they will not care too much about a sudden emergence of the so-called 'Oriental nobles'."The local governor will not value my presence until I show my strength.”

“No, no, sir.As long as you can show your products, my compatriots will be happy to contact you.Of course, it takes a little time and opportunity.”Marcelo made every effort to justify, “If His Excellency Joao Codino had just taken office as Governor of Goa, he would certainly have been happy to meet a distinguished guest like you shortly after his arrival in India.”

“Don’t rush this.I have contacted Arab businessmen, and the evening party will not be too cold.Let's change the subject."The thumpri waved.He had just wanted to do something to buy and sell, but now he has changed his mind, “I refused to hire you last night, but I have a new idea.”Maybe you're a good housekeeper, so tell me about the salary you want."

Zhou Qingfeng felt that Marcelo knew a little Chinese, which is also a personal talent at present, and it is not impossible to recruit.And this was an unexpected joy for Father Marcelo, who stooped excitedly and humbly and said, “I would be happy to serve a noble like yours.”“Thirty-five silver dollars a month, what?”

All right, Zhou Qingfeng nods his head in agreement.But he had a question, “If I contradict the Portuguese governor, are you there?”

Marcelo paused, and he said, “Sir, I am a Moor.”My ancestors were green-minded Arabs, but with centuries of war and mixed blood, I...In any case, I am not trusted by the orthodox Portuguese, so I can only stay in this dilapidated monastery.”

“You are a Moors, but you believe in the Virgin?”

“It’s all for life.”Marcelo shrugged, then looked at Zhou Qingfeng with extremely eager eyes, indicating his willingness to be loyal.

The history of Europe is a hodgepodge, and a lot of races are stirring up.Zhou Qingfeng did not understand the break in it, and temporarily put Marcelo into his own hands.

The day after arriving in Goa, Zhou Qingfeng's idea made a major adjustment of almost 180 degrees.The auction he expected to be very enthusiastic will not cause any sensation.Although the Arab merchants in the city were very face-worthy, Master Mohammed brought people to the scene, but the Portuguese who really ruled Goa did not move.

Zhou Qingfeng, who adjusted his mentality, did not care much about this, he spread out the map of Goa and looked for where his first base in India should be placed.This place can not be too remote, must take advantage of Goa's existing trade network.But it can not be directly under the Portuguese's eye, otherwise the base will be established, the other side will definitely rebound strongly.

In the next three days, Zhou Qingfeng, guided by Marcelo, took Guo Jiao almost 20 kilometers around Goa – a port city near the West Arabian Sea, which actually took a very fragmented state.A large number of rivers cut the land into pieces.

Limited by the construction capacity of the early 17th century, Goa is already an important trading city in India, but the size of the city and the scope of control are not large.The main urban areas are on the banks of a river, about 1.5 miles long.

There is also a large amount of farmland and wasteland outside the city.Zhou Qingfeng was very damaged in the Portuguese land about seven kilometers away from the sea to choose a bay area by the sea.He did not inform anyone and did not get any permission to say...

This land belongs to the Lord.

Marcelo did not respond to Zhou Qingfeng's blatant land grab...He even said, “Your eyes are very good.The locals have turned this Bay Area into Panjim, and it can indeed be a good port.”

Bullshit, Panjim is the new city center of Goa.

"Go and contact the Arabs, I need some slaves to build the port."Zhou Qingfeng hopes that after building a port here, he can let the Arabs bring horses to himself, and can also buy grain and cotton from the Indian king, and sell the products of the "Revolutionary Army" to Europeans.

As long as the port is used as a commodity distribution center, Zhou Qingfeng can use the special environment of Dongtianfudi to transfer people, livestock and materials on a large scale.The two-winged aircraft is used for long-distance transportation.It is easier than shipping.After standing firm, use sea freight to solve the problem.

Marcelo was immersed in the role of his butler, and soon gave a better opinion, "Sir, if you want to build a port, do not buy slaves from the Arabs."We should buy indigenous slaves from the local king.The untouchable slaves were very honest, and the work they gave them to eat was very hard-working, and especially cheap.”

For Marcelo so intimate, Zhou Qingfeng patted his shoulder with approval and said: "Very good, I like your advice."Loyalty will do you great benefits.”

Marcelo immediately knelt down and patted his ass, saying, “My greatest strength, my great strength, sir, is loyalty.”
