After seeing Yuan Lai Guang's attitude, Zhao Weiji felt that he might be able to get more things than he thought.

"Actually, what I need is not something too expensive. I only need women, a large number of women."

Yuan Lai Guang once considered countless kinds of requests that Zhao Weiji might make, such as a large amount of silver, and for example, if Genji wants to have any political help after he gained power, he never expected that what Zhao Weiji asked for was actually a human, and a woman.

"Prince, it may be that my Chinese is not very good. Can you say it again, what do you want?"

"Woman, I need a lot of girls of marriage age."

After confirming Zhao Weiji's needs, Yuan Lai Guang was very happy because his territory was not short of a large number of girls of marriage age. And even if not, he would find a way to do it, because compared to silver or other things, women were too insignificant in the eyes of the nobles of District 11 of this era.

"Prince, how much do you need?"

“How many women can you give to 16 to (year-olds?”

"It depends on how many such crossbows you can provide in addition to the steel that can cast five thousand knives."

When Zhao Weiji heard Yuan Lai Guang’s question, he didn’t answer positively, but just compared him to four.

"Four hundred?"

"No, it's four thousand, and I have four thousand such crossbows here."

Four thousand are not a small number. Adding to the steel, it can at least arm an army of nearly 10,000 people. This is already a great temptation for the Genji family.

For these things, Yuan Lai Guang thought that there must be many women Zhao Weiji needed, so he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet to report a number, "I can provide you with 16,000 women aged 16 to 28."

Ten thousand sixteen. Even if Zhao Weiji thought that it might get more than he thought, the number of ten thousand sixteen was too far beyond his imagination.

In fact, Zhao Weiji's psychological bottom line is 5,000 people. As long as he gets 5,000 people, he will be considered a profit.

The reason why Yuan Lai Guang's price given by him is twice as high as Zhao Weiji's psychological expectations is that in Zhao Weiji's eyes, neither steel nor crossbow machine is of high value.

Since the mine veins containing mainland iron ore were found near Xinhua City and the excavation of coal mines, steel can be mass-produced in Xinhua City. As long as there is sufficient labor, a large amount of steel can be continuously produced.

As for the crossbow machine, the thing that Zhao Weiji has already been preparing to eliminate, has no high value, so Zhao Weiji did not give a high estimate of the combined value of these two things. Although he had also considered that these two things may have a relatively high value to the warlords in District 11, he still did not dare to estimate too high.

Another point is that Zhao Weiji's value for women is too high. Zhao Weiji, who is always influenced by modern women's thoughts, has never looked down upon women.

At home, he respected the two wives very much. Chai Yu and Li Nian discussed this matter privately together. Although they didn't know why Zhao Weiji respected the female surname so much, it was a great blessing for them, and in the end they could only explain it by marrying the right person.

So even though the woman who guessed this may have a very low status in District 11, Zhao Weiji did not expect that she was so low.

Yuan Lai Guang just thought that the valuation of these things and women was completely opposite to Zhao Weiji, so there were such a very different quotation.

However, although there were much more than he had expected, Zhao Weiji was still preparing to eat all these people, because even women who could not marry had other uses.

These women can become new textile workers. North America is a very good cotton planting site. Now most of the cotton income in the Central Plains has been transferred to the court. Now Zhao Weiji can use these textile workers to restart his textile industry in North America, and then dump a large amount of cotton cloth into countries around the Song Dynasty, thereby further accumulating capital.

But at this moment, Yuan Lai Guang spoke again: "Prince, although I can provide you with a girl of 16,000 marriage age, it is not a single surname, but hopes to divide it into several batches, and I hope you can agree."

This requirement is actually not an excessive requirement for Zhao Weiji. Since he did not expect to obtain so many female populations, it is impossible for the remaining ships in the fleet to transport such a large population back to North America with their surnames at one time. Therefore, Zhao Weiji also needed several batches to eat all of these populations.

“It’s OK.”

After obtaining Zhao Weiji's consent, everything was easy to handle. Yuan Laiguang immediately signed an agreement with Zhao Weiji, and then sent someone to Dunhe Port to collect the goods.

During this period, Zhao Weiji and his group temporarily stayed in Ping'anjing.

Zhao Weiji, who was idle in Ping'anjing, decided to take his family out for a walk, experience this city with the legacy of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and then visit the next person, a person who later had countless legends.

"Yinyang Lao? What is this? Dad, why did you bring us here?" Zhao Linger, who was already crazy on the street, didn't understand why her father stopped in front of a house with such a strange name.

Not only did the daughter not understand, but even his two wives did not understand.

"Husband, is this?" Li Nian also asked the same question as Zhao Linger.

"You ask about this Yin-Yang Lao, this is the Sitianjian of Japan. Today I came here to hope to see a strange man." As he said that, Zhao Weiji took out a letter and a jade pendant from his sleeve. This was what he asked Yuan Lai Guang for before he went out. Then he handed these two things to the guards at the gate of Yin-Yang Lao.

The guard was shocked when he saw the jade pendant, and immediately turned around and ran in. After a while, an old man came out from behind and a bunch of people were following him.

The old man was wearing a wide robe and big sleeves, and then he also had a very tall hat on his head.

As soon as he saw this person, Zhao Weiji immediately confirmed that he was the person he was looking for. What Zhao Weiji was looking for was the Onmyoji who was extremely legendary in the history of District 11: Ampe Qingming.

"It really looks a bit like a fox. No wonder it is said that he is the child born to a fox." Zhao Weiji suddenly had this idea when he saw Ampe Qingming at the first glance.

"The arrival of the Prince of Song Dynasty, Qingming has failed to welcome him. He really should atone for his sins." As soon as An Pei Qingming came out, he immediately apologized to Zhao Weiji.

"It's okay, I came to visit the Master as soon as I went out, so naturally no one knew about Master."

"Your Majesty, please come in." After saying that, Ampe asked the people behind him to make way for Zhao Weiji's family, and then led the family into the Onmyoji's dormitory in person.

Since Yin-Yangliao is completely different from the Taoist temples in the Central Plains, Zhao Weiji's three children all developed a lot of curiosity, looking east and west.

"The faces of these three young masters and daughters are all unspeakable. Qingming congratulates the prince here." When walking into the house, A Pei Qingming specifically observed the faces of Zhao Weiji's three children, and then concluded that it was unspeakable. Even the boy's face showed an emperor's appearance, which made A Pei Qingming not understand too much.

Although he knew that the Onmyoji in District 11 also had the ability to meet each other, Zhao Weiji didn't believe in these things, so he just smiled politely at Ampe Qingming Pao.

Zhao Weiji's two wives didn't know exactly what Ampe Qingming was doing, but they were still praising their children, so they also smiled politely.

The Yin-Yang Door is not big. After about a few minutes of walking, he arrived at a living room. So An Peiqingming opened the door of the hall and let Zhao Weiji and his family go into the hall and sit.

After everyone finished sitting, Ampe spoke: "I don't know what the prince came here today. What is Qingming who can help?"

"Actually, there is no master when I come to find a master. It's just that I have heard of the master's name, so I came here to see him."

Although Am Peiqingming didn't know that Zhao Weiji had heard of his name in the Central Plains, but knew him in countless cartoons later, it was still very happy that someone came to visit, especially because he was the prince of the Song Dynasty of the Central Plains Dynasty.

"The prince is so ridiculous. The prince can actually know the bad name. Qingming is really frightened."

When Zhao Weiji heard Ampei's words, he didn't take it seriously. He just smiled and said, "I just saw the master looking at the face of the children one by one. I wonder if the master can look down on me at this time?"

When An Peiqingming heard that Zhao Weiji wanted to meet him, he naturally couldn't refuse, so he stared at Zhao Weiji's face and looked at him again and again.

However, Zhao Weiji's face was really strange. From the face, Ampe saw two completely different destinies, one was the appearance of an emperor, and the other was mediocre. These two completely contradictory faces appeared on the face of the same person, which made Ampe unable to make a judgment at all.

"The prince's face is too complicated, and he is not talented and knowledgeable, so he cannot judge the prince."

Since Ampe couldn't tell the reason, Zhao Weiji didn't care too much. He didn't believe in these things very much. This time he came here just because of the otakus mentality. He just regarded it as a holy land parade.

After disturbing the Yin-Yang Lodge, Zhao Weiji led his family back to Genji's mansion.

About a dozen days later, the Genji clan finally gathered the first wave of female surnames, and Zhao Weiji was preparing to take these female surnames back to Xinhua City.

Before taking it away, Zhao Weiji and Yuan Laiguang had another separate meeting. The purpose of this meeting was very simple, which was that Yuan Laiguang hoped to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Zhao Weiji.

This is quite right in Zhao Weiji's mind, because in addition to being fond of women in District 11, Zhao Weiji actually also likes something, that is, the large amount of silver mines rich in District 11.

Although this island country has many volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis without any trouble, and there are not many resource-based minerals, there are a large number of silver ores and sulfur here. These two things are more important to Zhao Weiji.

So Zhao Weiji took the opportunity to ask Yuan Lai Guang for the exploration rights and thirty-year development rights on his territory in District 11.

Since a large amount of silver mines in Area 11 were discovered in the 16th century, Yuan Lai Guang did not realize the important surname of the problem at this time. In his heart, he still believed that there were not many resources for excavation in his country, so he agreed to Zhao Weiji's request that as long as there were subsequent supplies of weapons and steel.

Unexpectedly, everything went so smoothly. Zhao Weiji made a fortune and left Area 11 with a full pot and a bowl, and began his voyage back to Xinhua City.
