Zhou Zhoulang lived in the other courtyard, and asked people to arrange all the goods, and then took everyone to see the sea together.
Standing by the sea, with the fierce sea wind blowing, the waves rushed up again and again and hit the rocks on the shore. The moment the tide receded, the evil wind came from nowhere, and directly blew their hair upside down. It smeared on their faces instantly.
Zhou Zhou Lang tried his best to pull the hair off his face, and then he closed his wide-open mouth, "Well, has the wind always been this strong? How do we sail here?"
Liu Guidao: "No, it's not usually this big." He paused and then said, "But sometimes there are waves that are bigger than now."
When Zhou Zhou Lang heard this, he swallowed nervously, "Then it will capsize in the sea..."
Liu Gui said with a sad face: "Then it's probably impossible to live."
Thursday Lang: ...
Sure enough, the sea is much more dangerous than the land.
Several boats were parked outside Longchi Wharf, except for the three that were given by Laizhou, there were two others. I don’t know what condition Bai Shan gave, so he snatched the boats from Laizhou Wharf;
The rest are official ships.
Liu Gui led Zhou Zhoulang to look at the pier, wandered to Haisi, and then whispered to him: "There are three official ships, and they were transferred from Qingzhou by His Royal Highness to the Lord. They mainly go north to Cangzhou, Pingzhou, etc. In the south, we have to go to the Chaozhou area, so if the fourth uncle wants to go to the south of the Yangtze River, he has to find a sea-going ship from the company."
"Is the boat expensive?"
"It depends on the goods and people you bring, the price of the place you occupy will naturally be higher," Liu Gui has come to Longchi from Qingzhou, and handed over the shop in Qingzhou to the people below. Although he is not going out for business now, he is It is intended to use the shop that Bai Shan bought, so I have made inquiries about this aspect.
He reported the prices of each house, the places he went, and the time it took to Zhou Zhoulang one by one.
Zhou Zhoulang directly saved the effort of inquiring.
"In this way, it is indeed cheaper to travel by sea than by land."
"That's not it," Liu Gui said with a smile, "Not only is it cheaper, but the speed is also faster, and it also saves the money for staying in a hotel on the way, all the expenses are included. It is also in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is more than half cheaper to go by sea. .”
Liu Gui asked, "Fourth Uncle, have you figured out where to go?"
Zhou Zhoulang looked conflicted, "With the relationship between Bai Shan and Man Bao, it is naturally best to go on an official ship, but... I want to go to Jiangnan to see."
I heard that Jiangnan is prosperous, second only to the Central Plains. He has seen the prosperity of the Central Plains, but he has not seen Jiangnan.
And I heard that the silk brocade over there is also different from what they use here, and it has a different style.
Liu Gui smiled and said, "What's the matter? If you are fast, you can go in and out twice a year. You can take the company's sea ship first, and then take the official ship later."
Only then did Zhou Zhou Lang think of it and asked, "The official ship is for the official business?"
Liu Gui shook his head and smiled and said, "I don't know about this little one. I just know that the official ship has to be dispatched by the master, and merchants who are qualified to be on the official ship need to be approved by the master himself, but I don't think the fourth uncle should questionable."
It's not because of Zhou Lang's ability, but because of his natural attributes, they are in the same group.
Shangguan Ship's caravan must be his own people, otherwise, Bai Shan would rather not earn that extra money.
So far, Bai Shan has not found any merchants to cooperate with, but he is not in a hurry, the space on the ship is not empty.
They need to ship a lot of salt to go.
The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, and the spring is returning to the earth. Now the busy spring has begun, and it is the time when all places need to work hard. The next six months will be a time of high salt consumption.
At this time, without warning, Jiangnan told the yamen who came to purchase from all over the country that the Jiangnan salt field was in short supply and could not provide the salt they needed for the time being.
The news spread back to various places, and the local yamen were a little anxious. They could only write letters to the procurement officials, asking them to try their best to mediate, and at the same time, they wrote to the imperial court to impeach Jiangnan official salt and Jiangnan salt administration.
Yushitai read the excerpts and handed them over to Zhongshu Sheng, who suppressed them and handed them over to the emperor.
The emperor sneered, handed it over to the prince, and said, "Let Bai Shan get out of the boat."
"yes."
The emperor exhorted: "The matter must be kept secret. Before the salt arrives, no word of it will be leaked."
The prince agreed, and wrote a secret letter to Bai Shan, and put it in the gift to Mingda.
Only then did the emperor remember, "Why haven't Mingda and the son-in-law come back yet?"
The prince said without changing his face: "The child is only two months old, so young, how can he run around on the road? I think let them stay in Qingzhou."
It's also good to help Bai Shan suppress monsters and monsters.
The emperor frowned, "Once the salt from Beihai County goes out, Bai Shan will probably become a thorn in the side of many people, and a thorn in their flesh. What if they are accidentally injured there?"
The prince thought for a while and said: "Let Lord Yin send some more imperial troops? Yin may be there too. After all, he is Lord Yin's only son, so he should be quite worried."
The emperor thought about it, and finally sighed, thinking that the child would fly away from home as soon as his wings became stiff.
Forget about the son, he had to stay in the capital and stay in the capital for fear that the courtiers would want to gossip, and now he can't even keep his daughter.
The emperor hesitated for a moment, but agreed.
However, the prince does not have the power to dispatch the imperial army, so the emperor had to ask Mr. Yin himself.
The letter was sent to Beihai County quickly, and Bai Shan, who had been preparing all this time, went to Dajiawa immediately after receiving the letter.
Because Zhou Liwei was not around, he was more sloppy than three months ago, he didn't shave his beard, and he looked wild. When he saw his little uncle, he touched his face embarrassingly.
Bai Shan twitched the corners of his eyes, feeling that it hurt too much, he waved his hand and said: "Go and wash up, let people start loading the car, we will start tomorrow."
Zhou Liwei responded immediately.
One car after another was dragged out, pulled to the warehouse and put away, and the soldiers loaded the cars themselves.
When all the four-wheeled carts were full, the soldiers also rolled out a lot of carts, loaded them with salt and tied them up...
In the early morning of the next day, they marched out from everyone's valley to Longchi. They took the road that Ding Xiu had conscripted last year, which could save a lot of time, but because this road diverged from the official road, so There are not many people leaving, except for the villagers of a few villages along the way, there are basically no people at other times.
Bai Shan and Nie Canjun personally escorted the team. They walked for a day, stopped to rest in the middle of the afternoon, continued to walk after dark, and finally arrived at Longchi in the early morning.
The people at Longchi had already received the news and got ready. Seeing the fire coming, Fang Xiancheng brought people to greet him, "My lord, the official ship is already waiting outside."
Bai Shan nodded slightly, looked left and right and asked, "Isn't it alarming?"
"No, in the past few months, according to the command of the adults, let people listen to the bell to rest and listen to the bell, and the rest of the time they walk around at will, and they will be treated as thieves."
