Chapter 634: Not a cent
Chapter 635: Not a cent
The chief steward of the Xu family came face to face.
The booing villagers at the port retreated tacitly and forked the road.
The boat owners, who were circling like vultures, shook the oars and retreated in a large circle. Some even changed direction and left straight away.
The pressing pressure broke.
Quan Linghan breathed a sigh of relief, and the sharks flapped their fins to communicate again.
Bubbles floated on the water again, but not as densely as before. The young sharks calmed down their excitement.
The previous scene really shocked them a little.
Finally honest.
Quan Linghan felt happy in his heart. He couldn't control the young man, but he was being coerced, which was a bit unpleasant.
"I'm sorry for disturbing you, fellow citizens."
The chief steward of the Xu family stood at the port, bowed his hands to the people around him, and said bluntly.
"I haven't taught you about it before, but today I am here to tell you on behalf of the head of the Xu family. Don't let it be unforeseen in the future. A few days ago, my Xu family and the shark tribe in Pengzeli have made an agreement on the sale of shark gauze. In the future, whoever wants to If you continue to fight against the sharks, you will be in trouble with the Xu family!"
This news is released.
The villagers were shocked.
The ship bosses who had originally withdrawn from a large circle gave up completely, waved their hands, and dispersed in twos and threes.
So far, only a few people know about the cooperation between the Xu family and the sharks. However, the news of protecting the sharks spread throughout the Xu family a few days ago, and then spread to the entire Huangzhou circle of influence.
Therefore, the order was not issued by the head of the family, but directly from the first and second ancestors. Everyone with the surname Xu in Huangzhou obeyed.
As the largest local snake in Huangzhou.
The Xu family took the lead.
No matter what the ordinary small family thinks, everyone will take action after hearing the news.
A careful observer would be able to notice that within half an hour of the shark's appearance, not a single named big shot came forward.
Long Jun cannot actually deter everyone.
Humans are so complex, and occasionally they get mad.
There are always those who are daring and greedy, but it only needs to prevent the normal circulation of Merman Tears on the black market, so that no one dares to accept the Mermaid Tears of unknown origin.
People who can afford thousands of taels are definitely not unknown people.
Individuals don’t know it in their hearts, but the forces do.
"Chief steward, what kind of deal have you decided on?"
A villager asked.
"This is not easy to reveal to everyone."
Xu Daguan avoided talking about it.
In fact, he didn't know what he was doing with so many croakers. He only knew that several skilled female workers in each shop were all taken away, which was quite mysterious.
The villagers speculated one after another, secretly lamenting that the Xu family had great magical powers and many doors.
No one knows how vast the entire Pengze is, but the Xu family was able to find the Sharman tribe and establish business relationships there.
It reminds me of the armor plate of General Yuan at the birthday party a while ago.
Could it be that someone tricked Peng Ze into a circle?
The big steward clapped his hands.
The carriages and horses moved.
The entire corner of the port was cleared, several large tables were set up, and abacus and account books were laid out.
Liang Qu asked the sharks to gather at the port. On the one hand, they would go directly to the official ship, and on the other hand, they naturally wanted to take over the shark's skin.
Quan Linghan waved his hand.
One piece of shark gauze was delivered to the shore, mostly old stocks accumulated over decades.
Many old sharks feel empty in their hearts.
The chief steward personally led people to keep accounts and register colors and amounts.
Halfway shipped.
Quack, quack, quack.
The wheels rolled over the stone slabs, and a series of prison cars came from a distance and parked quietly on the shore.
The big red horse follows.
Someone has a sharp eye.
"The dragon crossing the river!"
Xiang Fangsu and Ke Wenbin, who were following him, secretly smacked their lips.
In just over a month, Liang Qu has become so famous that ordinary people can recognize him when he walks on the street.
"Why is the dragon escorting the prison car here? Where are you sending it to?"
"The dragon crossing the river seems to be the sixth-rank official of Pingyang Mansion!"
"Sixth grade? You're so young, you're so awesome."
"What kind of major case was committed, so many people were arrested, and they were sent to other places? It couldn't be treason."
Treason?
A word suddenly appeared.
The crowded crowd retreated a few steps to clear the dock.
"Go up!"
The gangplank was stretched out, the officials opened the cage and escorted the shackled prisoners onto the boat.
Zhao Hongyuan's family has a large number of people. Regardless of whether they are locals from Huangzhou, they will all be taken away.
Ever since.
Transporting cloth from water to land.
People were crammed into the boats on land.
There is quite a bit of the illusion that the sharks are exchanging cloth for people.
The sun sets dark and the reeds slant low.
The reeds that stretch for more than ten miles grow wildly, and the reed flowers they sprout are white and fluffy.
"The total number is..."
On the boat, Liang Qu saw the chief steward of the Xu family handing Quan Linghan a banknote.
The goods have not started to be sold, and now it is not a dividend, but a temporary partial payment.
It was so thick that I couldn't even hold it with one hand.
Quan Linghan didn't have a deep understanding of the value of money. After counting it, he felt that the number was quite large, much more than the 20,000 taels promised by Liang Qu as housing allowance.
Say thank you.
Several large ships pulled anchor and set sail, heading toward Pingyang Mansion in a mighty manner.
The waves are rippling.
Quan Guangqin and Quan Yuxuan emerge from the water.
Shadows flowed on the water, and the orange-red sunset shone through the thin clouds, making people's faces look like they were drunk.
The houses on both sides of the strait look neat, prosperous and orderly.
A bit of anticipation, a bit of apprehension.
…
Going downstream from west to east, the whole journey is much faster than when we came here.
Four or five days of work.
The fleet has arrived at the entrance of the Lanzhou Canal, and the soldiers are furling the sails and preparing to dock for supplies.
Compared to September, the entire Lanzhou ferry seems to have expanded a bit, with thousands of sails and crowds of people.
I have been to so many places along the way.
The mouth of the Lanzhou Canal is still the largest and most magnificent dock Liang Qu has ever seen.
As a junction for the north and south, countless giant ships are handling cargo here. Among the thousands of large ships docked, it is not certain which ship has a small box in a cabin, which may contain priceless treasures.
"Be careful, don't let him run away!"
"Catch him!"
The thin child stepped on the springboard, holding a big oil leg in his mouth, and looked back nervously at the big man behind him.
The sailors of various families laughed and watched the excitement.
In a blink of an eye, the child slid to the shore using the springboard of a large unloading ship and fled into the alley.
Liang Qu retracted his gaze, drove away the seabirds that were coming to snatch food, and asked the otter to drive the boat into the pier.
Countless mermaids were shocked when they saw the grand scene of the Lanzhou wharf.
At the port alone, tens of thousands of people were active.
The official ship docked.
In an instant.
The news of the mermaids' appearance swept across Lanzhou Wharf like a hurricane.
Countless people leaned out of the foot shops and restaurants to watch the excitement.
At this moment, the mermaids felt even more pressure than when they were in Huangzhou. There were really many masters at Lanzhou Wharf.
At a glance, there were several great martial artists.
Fortunately, the flag of the river and mooring station was flying high, and no one dared to offend for the time being.
Long Binglin and Long Eying asked all the dragons to surround the mermaids, especially the little mermaids, and they dared not let their guard down.
A man took advantage of the chaos to whistle at the dragon girl and shouted vulgar words.
Whoosh!
A black shadow passed by.
The man's head was broken and bleeding, and he fell to the ground wailing.
Liang Qu's golden eyes swept over and threw the stone in his hand.
The scene was slightly quiet.
Ke Wenbin and Xiang Fangsu took the opportunity to stand at the bow and shout.
"Don't panic, fellow countrymen..."
Supply can be carried out at any port. Bringing the mermaids to Lanzhou is undoubtedly risky, but this is the order Xu Yuelong specifically ordered when he came.
It means to spread the information that Pingyang Prefecture is preparing to build an island and organize trade.
Although the Hebo Office only needs to pay 10% of the cost of building the island, it is still a large number, so Xu Yuelong wants to graft it on other merchants and use the right to land on the island in the future to exchange silver in advance.
Well done, no need to pay a penny, another great political achievement.
Lanzhou is undoubtedly the best place to spread this news, and there is no shortage of adventurous merchants in the world.
See the mermaids in the river.
Look at the flag of the Hebo Office.
Most of the major chambers of commerce believed it.
