Bai Shan nodded, turned sideways, let the convoy behind him come forward, and said: "Be soft, and load all the ships before dawn."
"yes."
Everyone carefully transported it to the pier, then picked it up and loaded it on the ship.
The soldiers on the ship also came down to help.
Liu Canjun, who was escorting the boat, also disembarked to meet Bai Shannie.
"It's all salt?"
Bai Shan nodded, "They are all official salt, and Lao Liu will join the army next."
Liu Canjun smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty Bai, you are welcome, since we have received the order, we will naturally go all out."
Bag after bag of official salt was loaded onto the boat. Zhou Liwei took a notebook and counted together with the clerk on the official boat. He took a note and got off the boat.
Clerk: "General, I have counted them all."
Zhou Liwei also said: "Sister-in-law... Mr. Bai, the lowly positions are also counted."
Bai Shan nodded slightly, took it over and took a look, then took out his own seal from his sleeve and stamped one on it.
The same is true for Liu Canjun, the two exchanged, and the official ship was released from the port, and the other official ship came quietly from the other side and slowly stopped.
The long-term workers and soldiers who took a break started to carry the bags again. Zhou Liwei encouraged them, "When the bags are finished and go back, I will pay you five days' wages."
Everyone became more energetic and continued to carry the bags hard.
With their unremitting efforts, all the salt was finally installed before dawn.
The official ship left the port slowly, and Liu Canjun boarded the official ship with two slips, and waved to him from a distance.
Bai Shan let out a breath, looked back at the people who were so tired that they sat on the ground panting, and said: "Let's go, let's get out of here first."
The crowd directly piled the carts onto the ox carts, horse carts and mule carts, and then you supported me, and I supported you and slowly left Longchi Wharf.
After walking a certain distance, the sky finally dawned slowly. Bai Shan looked back and forth, thinking that no one would come here at this moment, so he asked everyone to sit down and rest, and eat some dry food by the way.
Bai Shan also took out a piece of cake, took a bite, and chewed for a long time without swallowing it.
He looked in the direction of the other courtyard with some sadness, and he could vaguely see some roofs and the like from here.
Zhou Liwei also looked over and asked, "Is Fourth Uncle still there?"
"Well, he decided to go to Jiangnan. The merchant ship is still taking customers, so he hasn't left yet."
Zhou Zhoulang was still sleeping soundly in the other courtyard, he didn't know that Bai Shan and Zhou Liwei came and went.
Most of the people at Longchi Wharf didn’t notice that the bell rang before dawn, and the long-term workers who heard the bell got up one after another, and those who were going to work early like them also got up quickly. Come alive.
Master Cui heard the voice of the servant going upstairs, he looked away from the sea, turned and went back to put on his clothes.
The servant knocked on the door, and after getting permission, he brought in water and washed him before he said: "Master, there is some movement at the pier in the middle of the night. From a small distance, it seems that the officers and soldiers are carrying something to the official ship. Things, I just went to the pier to take a look, and the official ships parked outside seem to have left two."
Master Cui wiped his hands clean, handed him the handkerchief, and asked blankly, "Why are you asking about this?"
The servant frowned and said, "Aren't you worried that someone will do something wrong and hurt the master?"
Master Cui said: "The whole Longchi is under Bai Shan's control, we don't need to worry about it, we just need to do a good job in building the wharf."
He cut off the servant's words and said, "Get ready for the horse. I'm going to inspect the newly arrived stones in a while."
The servant swallowed the words that came to his lips, bowed and retreated after a reply.
Others were not as indifferent as Master Cui, especially the various business brigades who stayed in Longchi and did not leave, "Did you hear the truth, is there really any movement?"
"Yes, the master knows my ears, and he is the best at it. At that time, there were quite a few horses and horses and people."
"There are fewer boats at the pier?"
"Two official ships are missing."
"I have been wondering for a long time, the official ship is used for war, why stop here at this time? I thought there were bandits at sea, Master Bai invited them to escort the merchant ship because of his relationship, but now it seems that it is not the case. "
Those who noticed it all wondered in private, "What is that transported? It's so quietly?"
Zhou Zhoulang didn't know about it at first, he brought Uncle Shi and San Zhu down for breakfast, when he was eating steamed stuffed buns, he heard someone come to ask the stall owner, "Is there a stranger here in Longchi today? Are the buns enough to sell?"
The stall owner said with a smile: "As the visitor officer said, in Longchi, except for the long-time workers and people from our two villages, there are so many business travelers here, how can the small ones recognize them?"
"I'm asking if there are a lot of unfamiliar people suddenly this morning?"
"No." The stall owner thought for a while and said, "It seems like two small caravans came yesterday."
Convenience said: "Here are five steamed stuffed buns, I'll take them away."
After the people left, Zhou Zhoulang raised his head to look at the person who left, and turned to ask Uncle Shi, "Do you think it's strange?"
Uncle Shi thought for a while and said, "It seems to be looking for news."
San Zhu took a sip of the soup, and said indifferently, "Isn't it just a few gossips?"
Zhou Zhoulang picked up the bun and stuffed it into his mouth, "Stop talking."
He said to Uncle Shi: "Hurry up and eat, let's go to Liu Gui after eating, this Longchi was built by Bai Shan with great difficulty, don't let people make trouble."
Liu Gui also didn't know that Bai Shan and the others had visited last night, Bai Shan always kept a clear distinction between public and private, this was a business matter, so he only told Fang Xiancheng.
"Fourth Uncle, don't worry, I'll report to Fang County Prime Minister in a while." Liu Gui was not very worried about this, and said with a smile, "The people here are all our Lord's servants, and the yamen servants and officials are all our Lord. I personally selected and sent them here, and the long-term workers were also recruited by the master, although there are many business travelers and complicated personnel here, the entire Longchi is under the master's control."
Zhou Zhoulang: "Then I can rest assured."
Liu Gui asked, "Fourth Uncle, when will your merchant ship leave?"
Zhou Zhoulang curled his lips and said, "They say they want to choose an auspicious day to leave, hmph, I think they still have vacancies, so they have to wait for someone."
Liu Gui laughed and said, "It's true that we have to choose a date. The sailors have to check the weather. It's best to set off when the wind is smooth. It's safe and fast."
They just said that the men of the merchant ship came up immediately and informed them, "Tomorrow will be a good day, you can set off."
In fact, the two caravans that arrived yesterday were pulled by their companies, the boat was already full, and tomorrow would be a good day, so they decided to set off tomorrow.
When Zhou Zhou Lang heard it, he was nervous and happy, turned his head and said to Liu Gui: "Then we will go back and prepare, and you can tell Man Bao and the others that I have gone to sea."
"yes."
