Chapter 244: Chapter 244
"Daozi, my subordinates have also found big businessmen from various countries who bought goods before, but they have never heard of this thing.
Subordinates suspect that other countries may have different names. You might be able to start with this. "Chen Han reminded in a low voice.
"I've thought about this too, but" Zhang Rongfang shook his head slightly. In fact, he still has nothing to say.
That is, maybe the sensor door in the dark will have a solution.
After all, the medicinal materials he needs these days are only actively provided by the induction door, so that he can easily buy them.
this time, maybe
"Hahahaha! I kept you waiting for so long! Dear Master Guardian. You look even better after the last farewell!"
At this moment, a rough laugh interrupted his thoughts.
Zhang Rongfang turned around with a clear smile on his face.
"Mr. Isibas is safe and sound. No matter how long you wait, as long as you can get the medicine you need, everything else can be ignored."
"My lord is really open-minded, and he is much more approachable than the other officials of Daling!"
The person who came was a bearded man wearing a white turban, with colored jewels and crystals hanging everywhere on the turban and around his neck.
This person's beard was carefully trimmed into a guillotine shape, brown and black in color, and a pair of dark blue eyes were big and energetic.
This person is one of the top three medicinal herb merchants in Erythronia Port, and his name is Isibas Freire.
This man has more than ten fleets, each of which is mainly engaged in the trade of medicinal materials in dozens of countries.
There are thousands of sailors under his command, many of whom are armed with private soldiers and masters of martial arts.
In the entire Erythronia port, he is also a very important figure.
"Unfortunately, I'm afraid my lord will be disappointed." Isibas sighed, his Daling Mandarin was well-spoken, and it was almost impossible to tell that it was a foreigner's accent.
"I haven't found any news about Xuanyang Rouzhi."
"Still not?" Zhang Rongfang was slightly disappointed.
"However, according to your description, it may be possible to use similar medicinal substitutes to reconstruct the prescription. I wonder if this is feasible?"
"I'm afraid not." Zhang Rongfang shook his head lightly, and then asked about the other medicinal materials of the Golden Toad Kung Fu.
In the day-by-day stage, the medicinal materials needed by the Golden Toad Kung Fu became more precious.
There are also extremely high requirements for the strength of medicinal properties of medicinal materials. It is simply not a substitute for some ordinary short-year medicinal materials.
Fortunately, there are other side effects.
Only this Xuanyang Rouzhi.
After the two talked in detail, Isibas also invited Zhang Rongfang to his residence as a guest.
He is from Lusi, but he has titles and positions in many overseas countries.
It can be regarded as half businessman and half official.
On Daling's side, he also has a good relationship with the Governor of the Governor.
For Zhang Ying, a young guard from the Taoist sect, he valued him very much after he got some advice.
So this time the invitation was not a temporary idea, but had already been prepared.
After several warm invitations, Zhang Rongfang agreed naturally.
Building a good relationship with this big businessman will also help him develop overseas purchases.
Just like the many medicinal materials needed for the first layer of the day-by-day stage, it is not easy to find even if it is replaced within the Taoism.
But for Isibus, just mentioning one thing, he ordered it, and it was easy to get it.
The two had the intention of intersecting, so they merged together.
Isibas led the way in a sedan chair, and Zhang Rongfang and others followed in a sedan chair.
Isibas carried more guards than Zhang Rongfang, including Dalings, Westerners, Hussi, barbarians, blacks, and everyone else.
He seems to only look at talent and nothing else.
Along the way, pass through the Yitong Wharf and enter the outer ring city.
Some scattered merchants in black robes and huge wooden boxes hanging on their chests gathered together and set up a small market on a wide street in the outer ring city.
The market is like a centipede, occupying half of the street.
At the entrance, there is a tall pole, and a letter is written: Wanguo Jewelry Association! Satisfy your freedom of beauty!
This sentence is written in more than ten different languages, densely written all over the cloth.
"These black-clothed merchants like to make such gimmicks and play with words." Isibas laughed while sitting on the sedan chair.
Zhang Rongfang followed suit with a smile, and was about to speak, but suddenly his face froze, and he looked at the sidewalk by the entrance of the small market.
People come and go there, people of all colors flow like water, and it is very lively.
Many ladies, ladies, female sailors, and female crew members who were attracted by the market also came in and out from here.
But Zhang Rongfang's eyes were not on those exotic women, but on a beautiful woman with black hair and a shawl in a slim red dress.
The woman's face was charming, and her eyes were soft and deeply tired, like a rich and beautiful big rose.
Zhang Rongfang paid attention to this woman not because of her beauty, but because she seemed to be someone he knew.

Sun Chaoyue stood aside, listening to Tong Xinyao's chatter.
I just feel extremely tired.
In just one year, after she followed her father and escaped from Tan Yang, she fell from the proud son of heaven, the nobleman of the spirit, to the present state.
As the governor of Tanyang Mansion, my father colluded with secret sects and was expelled from the family. On the way, he was severely injured by the mobilization of former enemies.
Now that they couldn't stay in the country anymore, the family traveled thousands of miles to Zaitong Port, where they joined their former father's close friend and tried to go to overseas countries by boat.
But. Who would have thought that they did not know the market, and all the huge sums of money they delivered were swept away by the chairman of the liar ship.
The liar had already fled, and the sea was vast, so it was impossible to pursue him.
Now that their family's wealth is gone, they can only get rid of their servants, leaving very few people to live in the house of their father's close friend.
But this is just a stopgap measure, no matter how good the relationship is, after such a long period of sojourn, they gradually began to become impatient.
Sun Chaoyue recalled how glorious she was when she was in Tan Yang.
At that time, she was the first person that all Tan Yang's noble sons were vying to please.
He has entered the fourth rank at a young age. In the future, the ninth rank is expected, and it is still a noble spirit.
never thought
A drastic change that swept Tan Yang completely exposed his father's collusion with the secret sect.
The family changed drastically overnight, and then they fled hastily and were intercepted and killed.
A lot of suffering, as if from that moment on, there is no end.
"Let me tell you, you must absolutely persuade your brother not to associate with that bearded man again. Last time the White Ten Sect was encircled and suppressed, those bearded beards suffered heavy losses."
At this time, Tong Xinyao, the eldest daughter of the Tong family, was talking non-stop, dissuading a girl in a green skirt who looked embarrassed.
"Just like Chaoyue, although their family was not as good as ours before, they were still very good.
Later, it was because her father did something that he shouldn't have done, so he was investigated.
You see, now, Chaoyue's father takes medicine every day to recuperate from his injuries, and he doesn't know when he will recover, and the family has no money, so it's up to my father to find him some coaching positions.
Chaoyue is now my schoolmate. Last time her skirt was torn and she was reluctant to throw it away. It was because I lent her one of my good skirts that I dared to go out together.
Do you want to live such a life? Want to be as down and out as her family? "
Tong Xinyao patiently tried to persuade her friend, but she didn't pay attention at all, and the smile on Sun Chaoyue's face was a bit forced.
"But I can't say no to him alone. He always has many reasons. For the family, for us, and for his own development." The green skirt girl lowered her voice.
"That's not a reason, that's selfishness!" Tong Xinyao shook her head. She coughed dryly a few times, and when she saw a vendor selling cold watermelon juice in the distance, she patted Sun Chaoyue beside her.
"Chaoyue, go buy me a glass of watermelon juice, remember to add raisins."
"Okay." Sun Chaoyue suppressed the helplessness in her heart, turned around and walked towards the vendor.
But after walking a few steps, she remembered that she didn't bring any money with her.
Martial arts practice requires too much money. After her family was cheated out of money, she spent every penny carefully in order to maintain her martial arts vitality.
And because of his shady status, he was unable to go out to work.
Nowadays, the food and drink expenses all depend on Tong Xinyao's family. So I usually don't have much money on me.
Today happened to be her twenty-fourth birthday. When she just went to the market, she bought herself a silver inlaid jade peony pendant as a celebration for herself.
The money on his body was also spent, leaving only small and big money. Not enough to buy juice again.
At this time, she had no money with her, so she had no choice but to turn around.
"Xin Yao, I don't have any money with me, so I can't buy it"
Tong Xinyao was still talking loudly to her friend, but she didn't hear her at all.
"Xin Yao?" Sun Chaoyue asked again.
Finally heard it this time. Tong Xinyao turned her head impatiently.
"What's the matter? I'm talking? You hurry up and buy it?"
"No, I don't have enough money." Sun Chaoyue said in a low voice.
"Not enough money? No money to buy juice? Are you trying to cheat me?" Tong Xinyao became even more annoyed.
"Besides, the money is not enough. Mr. Zhao, whom I introduced to you last time, asked you to accompany someone to have dinner, but you still don't want to go? They gave you a heavy gift of four hundred taels!"
"Chaoyue, I'm not talking about you, you are no longer the young lady you used to be, you have to be more realistic, and don't blame me for being fast-talking.
Look at you, now you have to ask me for money even to buy a glass of juice Your father needs to be cured of his illness, and all he wants are high-quality medicinal materials.
In this situation, you still want to practice martial arts by yourself? You are not me, it was okay before, do you have this condition now?
Your current level is already very good, enough. Finding someone to marry earlier can be regarded as helping your father reduce the burden."
Tong Xinyao looked like she hated iron for not being able to make steel, and she scolded brokenly. In front of the other girls around her, she had a look of caring for her, talking non-stop.
Sun Chaoyue lowered her head, the embarrassment in her heart was like an extremely thick quilt, pressing hard on her body from head to toe, making her breathless and unable to struggle.
She didn't even dare to raise her head so that others could see her face clearly.
But she can't do anything, and now her family relies on the help of Tong's family to cover up their identities and temporarily live in sojourn.
Although the Tong family became more and more impatient with them, they were indeed kind.
And if they want to go to sea in the future, they can only rely on Tong's family to help them find a boat and wait for the opportunity.
So she can't say anything, dare not say anything
Hearing the constant scolding sound coming from her ears, Sun Chaoyue suddenly wanted to cry.
Her eyes were moist, and she felt so much depression and embarrassment in her heart, a feeling she had never encountered in all these years since she was a child.
Think back to Tan Yang.
She presides over the Shaking Source Book Club, and is the noble son of a spiritual person in everyone's eyes. Whatever she wants, she just says a word, and someone brings it to her.
And now.
