Chapter 3510 Extra Story 43

But if you want to talk about the fastest extra money, it is to go to sea with a caravan.

Bring some goods with you, once you go out and in, as long as you find a way to sell it, you will definitely make money.

And Zhou Zhoulang is in this business, and Uncle Shi manages the account for him, so naturally there is no shortage of connections.

It's just that he rarely has the opportunity to go out.

One is that he only has an old wife and a sick son in his family, so he dare not take too much risk to go to sea; the other is that Zhou Zhoulang pays a lot of wages, and he has to take charge of the accounts here, so naturally he can't go to sea with him.

Zhou Man asked: "Uncle Shi left with us, what about your account?"

"Leave it to his son," Zhou Zhoulang said, "His son is even more powerful than him. Apart from not being very talkative, he is no worse than Uncle Shi in any way, but..."

Zhou Zhoulang looked puzzled, "I don't know why, but Shi Xiaolang doesn't like to talk, but he is more popular with merchants. The business he negotiates in person is a one-on-one negotiation, which is more effective than his father."

Zhou Zhou Lang glanced at Bai Shan, but he didn't say a word, his face was clear and cold, just like Bai Shan these years.

Hmph, if he hadn't underestimated them growing up and knew that Bai Shan was a crybaby who couldn't beat his sister, I'm afraid he would be fooled by him like this.

Bai Shan acted as if he didn't see Zhou Zhoulang's gaze, and directly decided, "Then it's settled, we'll go to Silla to have a look when we choose a date."

Zhou Zhou Lang didn't want them to go too far out to sea, but Bai Shan and the others had their own plans. He and the four of them said privately: "Let's go to Silla first, from near to far. Fourth brother doesn't want us to go far, but we will go to Silla by ourselves." Once he has figured out the sea route and knows all about the merchant ships going out to sea, he will not be able to stop us."

Zhou Man: "You are treacherous."

Bai Erlang nodded, "Too treacherous."

Bai Shan: "...it's as if you don't benefit from it."

He looked at Yin Ru and Ming Da, and frowned, "It's just your bodies..."

Yin or indifferently, "Do you think I still have health problems during the two years of traveling?"

Ming Da also said: "There is Man Bao here."

Zhou Man also whispered: "The two of them are in good health now."

People can't stand still just because of unforeseen illnesses.

Bai Shan nodded, and felt relieved when he saw that they all had a clear idea, "Then it's settled, we'll go to Silla first."

Since Dajin established the Andong Protectorate, the Qingzhou area and Silla Baekje have become much closer.

After the completion of Longchi Wharf, there were merchant ships traveling between the three places every season. In the past few years, Dajin’s commerce and trade have developed, and Longchi Wharf has merchant ships going to Silla and Baekje every month.

There are merchant ships that specialize in hauling goods, and merchant ships that only do passenger business, and some that do both. The merchant ship that Zhou Zhoulang found for them is a large merchant ship that does both types of business, and the best cabins are specially reserved for them.

Zhou Zhoulang did not tell the host family their identities, but only said that they were relatives of the family, and they wanted to play in Silla because they were curious.

The Jin army is strong, the sea trade is developed, and Silla is not far away. In recent years, there are many nobles who are full and have nothing to do. The merchants are used to it, so they don't think it is strange.

Anyway, they only need to pay the boat fare, and Zhou Zhoulang's relatives...

After looking at the demeanor of Bai Shan and the others, no one dared to neglect them.

There are basically two types of Zhou Lang's relatives, one is from Qili Village like him, which is easy to see, and the other is related to Mr. Zhou in his family, who are either rich or noble.

The sea merchants received Zhou Man and the others very politely, and they were even more polite after seeing Uncle Shi personally accompanying them.

Zhou Man and the others were not polite, and carried a lot of goods onto the ship with Uncle Shi.

They decided to uphold the principle of diligence and frugality along the way, and try to earn as much as possible on the way.

After leaving the boat in the evening, it was dark within two hours of walking, and the surrounding area was pitch black, and they could not see anything. Zhou Man and the others returned to their cabins, planning what to do after they arrived in Silla.

It's true that they didn't have any plans at all. They were supposed to go to Tianfang, and going to Silla was a temporary decision, so they haven't decided where to go.

Zhou Man secretly suggested, "We can go to Baekje for a while." Keke must like it.

Yin He: "The relationship between Silla and Baekje has not been good for the past two years. If we go from Silla to Baekje, I'm afraid it will not be easy to get a pass."

Bai Shan: "It's okay, we don't need to go by land, we can go by sea and take our Dajin ship. Silla dare not stop us."

Silla and Baekje are both vassal states of Dajin, but Silla and Dajin are better, and they are more polite, and they dare not stop Dajin people from communicating with Baekje.

The steward on the other side of the merchant ship was reporting to the owner, "I went back to the cabin after nightfall. I didn't have the usual habits of those noble people, and I didn't make any noise. It was unexpectedly courteous."

The boss said: "After all, it was the person introduced by Thursday, and there were no problems with his introduction before."

"Boss, I think Uncle Shi who followed is very respectful to them."

"It's a relative of his boss's family, can you be disrespectful?"

"Small doesn't mean that..." The steward thought for a while and said, "It's not like I haven't seen Zhou Zhou's relatives before. Uncle Shi is very ordinary to them. You should have heard of it. Uncle Shi used to have a wealthy family. , and has a bit of a temper, but he won't be so respectful to everyone."

"Besides, I think that Mrs. Bai looks a bit like Master Zhou in her eyebrows and eyes."

"Where does it look like, it's dark on Thursday..." The boss paused here, trying to recall, "Don't tell me, Thursday is not like it now, but when I first met him a few years ago, he was not as good as he is now. Hei, with handsome eyebrows."

The owner murmured: "Bai... Could it be..."

He widened his eyes slightly, and quickly asked, "Have you seen what happened to them?"

"It's confirmed that it's a matter of the Haisi Yamen. Everyone has been let in, and they are distinguished guests. How can we investigate their pasts?"

Bai Shan and the others used connections to deal with them. If they were in other places, they might not be able to use connections, but in Qingzhou...it is very convenient.

Even though Haisi Yamen was terrified about Princess Mingda's incident, they turned a blind eye to it.

So when the emperor knew that they had all gone to Silla, it was half a month later, and it was still because of the letters from Ming Da, Zhou Man and others.

The Emperor: …… When the Emperor doesn’t exist, right?

It’s okay to go to the Liaozi Department, and it’s okay to encounter malaria once in a while. Let him go back to the capital and turn around to Yangzhou.

This is not in the territory of Dajin anymore.

Although Silla is a vassal state of the Jin Dynasty, even if he had ten guts, he would not dare to disrespect Mingda, the princess of the Jin Dynasty, but it is still a foreign country.

What if Silla goes to war?

People know to hide from these nobles, but do swords also know?

The emperor pressed the letter with a snap, and asked the Hanlin who was waiting by his side today, "Is there any news from Silla recently at Honglu Temple?"

Han Lin said without even thinking about it: "Only two months ago, the Queen of Silla made another offer, hoping to invite Da Jin to send troops to Baekje and Wa to calm the sea area so as to protect the trade between the two countries."

"They didn't fight on land, did they?"

After thinking for a while, Hanlin said: "Neither Honglu Temple nor the Ministry of War has been published in the newspaper."

Only then did the emperor feel a little relieved.

See you tomorrow
