The first one in Linshui, the shipowners still have them in the room where they ate the day before yesterday. This is not because they are rich, and even if they have money, they have to line up to get the rooms on the four corners at the first one in Linshui, on the third floor. of.
It is Shuiyunjian that has attracted too many people recently, and some people here cannot afford the housing prices on the third floor and four corners.
Don’t look at the merchants on the boat line as if they are rich in wealth. In some small money, they never relax, and even reach the point where they are ridiculous. They use this room to choke time. The food here is based on the price of the meal. Calculated with the price of time.
When eating, they must have been stuck in the last quarter of an hour. As long as they finished eating, they would not continue to manage a room. Other wealthy people came to pay directly for one day, or even half a month’s money, according to The number of five hundred words comes and goes every half hour, even if people don't come, this place must be reserved for others.
Those on the boat will take it if they have it, and even if they don’t, they will never pay back when they don’t have a meal.
At this time, they were very lucky to have another meal in this room when they were not willing to spend money.
"Brother Wei, do we wait to finish talking with them and block the waterway leading from Jingshui to Luoshui River? Xiao Luoshui is also on the Luoshui line. Dingping there is alright. They still want to To do things with us, let us park the big ship over there, and then hand it over to the boat for shipment.
It is also said that let us discuss with the people in Luochuan County and make a pier together with Dingping there. Are they stupid? Let's block the place where Jingshui from Dingping enters Luoshui, what can they do? "
Guo Ren seemed to have drunk some wine before he got here. When he talked, his tongue couldn't straighten out. How awkward he was to listen, but fortunately he was still sober.
Mi Fan's face was gloomy. He naturally knew where Guo Ren had gone. The only brothel behind the Xiaoluoshui Wharf was opened by a man in Beijing. The most common woman would have to spend five nights. Money, there are some people who do not sell themselves, they can't get much money, and they are still covered.
It is said that the rent of this brothel is 20 times higher than that of other places. All food and drink must be made by the first company in Linshui, which is also 20 times the price. The woman in the veil talks, or listens to music.
No one would do that. They don't eat anything. The girl puts a bunch of things in front of the girl. When she is resting, she can eat something, and she will only give you a glass of boiled water, so she can't afford to lose that person.
It seems that Guo Ren didn't spend less today, listening to a new song in dozens of texts is not too small, and chatting with the beautiful lady over a hundred times, listening to the sound of the piano is not too much.
"Brother Weitong, if you say something, let's go to block the place right away. The sand and rocks of the sixty boat sink, and I don't believe that it can't block the waterway."
Guo Ren was still thinking about good things there. After receiving the letter the night before, Mi Fan explained the contents of the letter. That is, the Zhang family united Luochuan County, Dingping County, and their boat crews to repair it in Dingping. A wharf is convenient for the transportation of large ships to small ships and small ships to large ships.
At the beginning of this matter, no one really thought that it could be transferred. When the time comes, both parties will make money. When transferring, there is no need to use the same merchant or the same kind of goods. The big ship travels all the way to receive the goods. Start to distribute to the boat.
This kind of journey is short. You don’t have to go to the capital to wait for the freight to make money. You can make a fortune by carrying it all the way from Sichuan to Shu. After all, the return journey is against the current. Pack the goods and only run one way, that is a loss of money.
With Dingping's small boat to receive goods, not only does it not pay, but it can also make a little bit more. It divides the route into sections and does not overwhelm the goods.
But this idea was sent by Zhang’s family, and now the ship’s people want to suppress Zhang’s family. Therefore, no matter how good the idea is, it can only be used against Zhang’s family. Xiaohe can make money because it connects the capital to Sichuan and Sichuan. As long as the diversion place is blocked in Dingping County, the goods from the capital can only be transported to Luochuan County.
This is the place called Da Luoshui on the side of Xiao Luoshui. If they are cut off, everything will be solved. These people are also more excited to turn cooperation into a conspiracy.
At this time, they heard what Guo Ren said, and they also thought it was feasible. The matter of breaking the trade route was still proposed by Mi Fan, but Mi Fan did not expect that they were going to do so.
Seeing Guo Ren's excited gaze in front of him, Mi Fan finally couldn't help it, and said loudly, "Well, I used dozens of big boats to sink and block the water. It won't take a few days, and our heads will have to be cut. Come down to block the Luoshui River, the Jingshui River belongs to our house? If you want to block it, just block it
It’s better to put together a few of our boats, make a hundred big boats, fill them with sand and rocks, go to the canal, sink and block the waterway leading to the capital, the water transportation will be useless, and the food can’t enter Beijing. , The emperor has to be afraid of us, don’t you think? "
When everyone heard it, they didn’t say anything. They thought about how the two counties and prefectures would react after blocking that place. There are not enough heads to cut off. For the sake of one Zhang family, it would kill one of the people, so they don’t need Zhang family. There are many people who will do it, and they will pass it up, and the emperor will read it. With just a word, the prince in the state will be able to copy their home.
Although Guo Ren's body is not well controlled, his head is still sober, he asked, "Brother Weitong, didn't you say that the waterway was blocked the night before? If you don't sink the ship, what else can you do?"
Other merchants also looked at Mi Fan.
Mi Fan felt a little sad, and even did things with a group of fools, but these people really listened to him, so they had to say: "I came from Chuanshu and didn't dare to go to steep places. They just didn't get to Chuanshu. Only at that distance can a boat pass.
In Dingping County, you don’t know how anxious the water is when you enter Luoshui. If you use oars, a wave will come over and the force will be useless. If you use bamboo poles, you can’t reach the bottom of the water. , Don’t they all rely on the tracker coming out of the corner to pull.
Send three big boats over, as long as they anchor there at an angle, saying that the boat is broken and unable to move, their boats cannot be pulled by the trackers. They need to bypass our big boat. It was originally a rapid, and was given by three boats. Blocked diagonally, which boat do you think can pass? "
"Yes, as long as there are small boats who want to go over, they happen to encounter the slope of the current blocked by three big boats. One of them will turn one over. We didn't mean it. The big boat was out of order. After some boats were overturned, we sent out. A few big ships, three of them were left there, and they also said something was wrong, they had to stand up even if they didn't want to.
Unless the kind of people who have been rowing for decades are rushing, other people simply won't work. How many of them can they find? There is no one in a hundred, a good way. "
After listening to Mi Fan's words, a businessman also thought of this, and flattered him there.
After the businessman said this, other people understood the truth and agreed with it.
Mi Fan was really helpless. No one thought of such a simple thing. He was planning to go to the sinking ship to block his mouth. He sighed and said, “I’m not in a hurry for this matter. I’ll wait to ask them about the details of their journey by sea. ."
The businessmen united once again and talked about how to cheat one by one. The more Mi Fan listened, the stronger the sense of fear, even when I mentioned using a boat to make a boat go around. Feel.
This plan is perfect. He doesn't know what went wrong. Is it possible that Lord Hou's dock can make a boat that is not afraid of such things? Unless it is a deep draft, it is impossible to walk the river with a deep draft.
As long as he thinks about this, he gets a little upset and can't help but say: "In fact, the big boat that Zhang family said, we can make more money in both rivers than before, so don’t think about it. think."
"What else do you think? It’s not his family’s death, or we’re gone. How many pairs of eyes look at us. I really lose this face. I will not do business in the future. Brother Wei, you overestimate his Zhang family. It’s water matters. If they don’t understand, they will grow land and raise chickens. Where do they know the dangers of water?”
Guo Ren poured himself the wine, and drank it there again, his eyes blurred, but his words were recognized by other businessmen. They were indeed afraid of Zhangjiazhuang, but it was on land, and there were some business and other things. Don't dare to intervene.
But when you get to the water, it's not as simple as you imagined. No matter how powerful the Zhang family is, can you naturally understand things in the water? That wouldn't be enough to run a small river.
Mi Fan looked at the gazes of the businessmen who came over, and finally compromised, even when he was compromising, he felt that his heart was tightly grasped.
He had never seen such a situation before. Even if there was danger in the past, he just felt uncomfortable. This time, he found it difficult to even breathe.
"What is it? What other means does the Zhang family have? Why is it so? It feels more uncomfortable than death. Is it an extermination? The Zhang family really has this ability. He is nothing more than a champion and knows a master. Why does my chest hurt?"
Mi Fan pressed his hands on his chest. He paid great attention to his body's reaction. He was only a little bit uncomfortable when he encountered things before. Whenever he made a decision to avoid, he went to temples or Taoist temples. , The news is good.
But this time it was different, he felt as if he was going to die right away.
Those merchants didn't know how uncomfortable Mi Fan was now. They were still fantasizing about pushing Zhang Family to take the initiative to beg for mercy and obedient like a dog.
Everyone was drinking there, and only Mi Fan knew his pain. When the businessman's laughter came to his ears, he always felt that it was no different from the laughter of Yan Wangdian that his grandma said at the beginning.
