The dawn is coming, the clouds are light and the sun is beautiful, the blue sea and the silver sand are eternal waves, and the layers of gravel reefs. The fishing boat drifts lightly, the seabirds fall off the lighthouse, they cry from afar, and the sounds on the shore are opposite each other, I know, I know.
In the summer season, Qinzhou’s Ning’s fleet and the boats of those who had been fooled finally docked, leaning at the pier on the Luzhou side, and even the Ning’s boat was no exception.
They were first overtaken by the Zhang family’s fleet. The speed was beyond their reach. It was fast and stable. They weren’t chasing them even when the so-called "Zigzag" was painted in the sea. of.
At first, I wanted to follow behind. After all, the horizon has changed. It is said that the ocean currents and wind have also changed. The people in the fleet want to follow Zhang's family.
It only followed for one day, exactly one afternoon, and at night, the Zhang family fleet was lost. At dawn, there were only blue sea and blue sky.
The people of the Ning family complained, and the people on the boat they came with sighed that they were not capable of getting the technology of the spinnaker and the propeller.
Only the Zhang family can use it blatantly. Whoever allows the technology to be provided by others, there is an impeachment book, but several important ministers in the DPRK directly refuted it with a reason that made people speechless.
"The things made by the Zhang family can only be improved if they use them. Maybe they can make better things and don't let them use them. How can they do it?"
What makes people lose the most in comparison is that Zhang’s boats can still draw charts as long as they pass by. It is said that there is a unique measurement method. In the palace, if you want to get it from the palace, it might be possible in your dreams. If you want to get it from the Zhang family, you should work harder. It is easier to think about the share in the palace.
The distance stretched away, and the moon came out to join in the fun again. I don't know why, but the tide changed for a few days.
Suddenly, the Ning family's fleet deviated from the direction. They didn't know that it was caused by an earthquake in the sea. With the addition of solar wind and lunar eclipse, there was a small problem in the sea where they were traveling.
As a result, four of the 22 ships that came to hit the rocks. People were rescued. Don’t count on the cargo. The four ships were also thrown there. After several days of sailing, the remaining ten ships were finally looking for them. Back on the right path, this is still due to Sinan, at least knowing the southeast, northwest.
The four boats that hit the rocks belonged to the Ning family. Who asked them to invite others? When the position in the sea changed, they had to send ships to explore the way. This time, there were six ships from the Ning family, and only two remained. , It doesn't make any sense to dock in Lianzhou.
They couldn’t understand why the Zhang family’s boat didn’t hit the rocks. The road was from the Zhang family. Nothing happened the first time they came. Could it be that the Zhang family’s boat was all right if they encountered danger here?
Naturally, there is nothing wrong with the Zhang family’s boat. It’s not luck, but the Zhang family’s good people. There was an 80-year-old man who accompanied the boat. He started fishing with the adults in the family since he was four years old. The whole body was sick, and when he was old, he was paralyzed.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't think so much either. They just thought about sending some old people with bad family conditions to the nursing home. The old man followed and received very good care.
The old man has no other abilities. It is really easy to see where there are fish and where there are reefs. Give him a clairvoyance, and he can accurately judge the situation under the sea.
After the old man was properly arranged, he passed on to other people free of charge. This wealth can no longer be measured by money, so the Zhang family gave the old man a boat with a propeller and a spinnaker. The ship, the name of the ship is "Golden Years".
After learning these experiences, the Zhang family's fleet braved the wind and waves all the way to the sky and the sea in the face of squally storms and countless reefs.
When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan sent the old man to the nursing home, they didn't expect to take advantage of the old man's moment. The result was not only their own spiritual reward, but also countless wealth.
The old man also has a separate recipe, has his own wheelchair, and his family has been arranged, and even a grandson who looked like a gangster before has also gotten into the army.
Every time the old man of Zhangjia ship’s pair sails, he has to follow. After all, there is still something that the people on the ship have not learned, that is, ear power. The old man can actually rely on the sound of the sea at night without seeing anything. Able to judge whether there is a school of fish and whether there is a reef.
After Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan heard about this, they repeatedly sighed that the old man’s ears were catching up with the sonar. The two felt that the old man’s kind smile was truly proud. They established a separate academy for the old man, "Time Sailing Academy" ", use this to motivate the people behind.
And carved a couplet on the gate of the academy, "Years are golden, the sea is blue, and time goes by, the sky is blue".
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are not just because of an old man. They respect the spirit of dedicating their lives to the ocean. People will die. The difference lies in what they leave behind. They also warn themselves when commemorating others.
…
There is no such old man on the Ning family’s boat, they do not have it in their own home, and it is even more impossible to rescue an old immortal who can’t even walk. So they hit the rocks on four ships, and the cargo was loaded slowly on them. The value can be as Zhang’s. There is nothing wrong with feeding one hundred old men and one Jiazi.
When humanity is higher than money, there are more opportunities to obtain money, as Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan do; when money is higher than humanity, both are lost. People are better than other animals because they know how to use tools. , But there is hope and compassion in my heart.
I’ve always wondered why the Zhang’s fleet didn’t have any trouble, but when the Ning’s people, who had lost four large cargo ships, brought the other 16 ships to the Luzhou wharf, they still got every one of them. Notice of the charge for the ten guan money.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan don’t care who owns the ship. They don’t accept any money. Business has business rules. If you come as a merchant, you must follow the business rules. If you change your status, it’s There is another issue. The identity of the family is revealed, indicating that it is a visitor. It doesn't seem abrupt to bring out a thousand pieces of things to entertain, and it is easy to hand over the money if it is a business.
The Ning family also wanted to provoke a bit, but some individuals who followed on the boat seemed to have received warnings from their homes. When the boat stopped, the money was already handed in, and then they took out the letter written at home and sent it to Zhang Zhong. There is also a gift.
This approach made Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan very satisfied. They distinguished personal relationships from business transactions and treated them in different ways. So the people sent by these families enjoyed abalone, shark fin, conch and other precious things, and everyone also got it. A precious mirror in a wooden box.
The value of these things far exceeded the money for stopping the ship and the money for the gifts that were given. Zhang's family didn't hesitate when they took them out, and even Zhang Zhong personally came over to have a meal with these individuals.
This approach not only did not make the children of the family who came with the ship angry, but made them pay more attention to Zhang Zhong. At the same time, it also laid down a rule for the pier here in Luzhou. You have to pay for stopping the ship, no matter who it is. , Even the fleet from the Zhang family came over, after all, it was settled separately.
Of course, there are special circumstances, such as the flagship of the master’s house, such as the flagship of Li Xun’s house, and the boats of certain people in the court. When you get here, you can’t collect money. You need to be flexible, even those. It is possible for an official to carry some goods and treat them as invisible.
It's impossible for them to come with a hundred ships at once, right? It is also impossible to come back in nearly half a year without any problems.
The people of the Ning family were still waiting to watch the excitement. Unexpectedly, the hope was lost. The news soon sent people to Qinzhou by land on the same side of Lianzhou within a few days.
Ning Cishi was angry before he got the news. The Zhang family’s ship came first, and so many goods were scattered to various states and capitals. Through the merchants’ respective trading channels, these goods were sold at a higher price than expected. high.
How could other prefectures rather than governor's control, but Qinzhou on his own side is also the case, hadn’t they already ordered those merchants not to contact Luzhou? How could there be cargo coming? Almost Qinzhou's troops were sent to inspect the places that could be connected by land. It was impossible for cargo to come from those roads.
Waterways are impossible. Any ships that come over at the mouth of the Qinjiang River will be checked, and all the way up the river will need to pass through three waterways checkpoints. Every ship that comes over has to search all cabins, even It's not even let go of those individuals.
The result is that in these places in Qinzhou, a large number of Zhang's products are still being shipped over, and they are also sold at high prices. How is this possible?
Waiting to see the news from Luzhou again, Ning Cishi couldn't help but feel the anger in his heart. He patted the leather-covered table bought from Luzhou and roared loudly: What do you eat? Is it that difficult to deal with Zhang Zhong? I usually keep boasting about how powerful I am. Now, let’s look at the four boats. Let’s not say that those individuals have not hated the Zhang family. What is the use of raising you?"
The housekeeper didn’t dare to pass the news. He knew how angry the master was. When he saw the master pat the table, he had no intention of telling the master the price of the table, so he could only stand with his head down. There, it's good to wait for the master to get rid of his anger.
Ning Cishi has been here for ten years. He has never encountered such an aggrieved thing. Since Zhang Zhong came here, he seems to be restraining himself. A person who is less than 30 years old actually The Ning family couldn't breathe under pressure.
When the secret battle between them had not been won once, I kept thinking of ways and conspiring. As a result, everything in Luzhou was exposed. Seeing them do it, I couldn't think of any way to deal with it.
Sending the zhezi to the court, the court didn’t care to say anything, but also warned himself that there would be no news after sending the zhezi. This time the fleet was obviously covered, and the Zhang family’s ship arrived a month earlier, without any loss. .
For those cargoes, almost all of the troops were sent on the land, and there was no way to find out. There were also several checkpoints on the waterway, and there was also no way for the cargo to come in.
Could it be that all those cargoes had wings and flew over by themselves? You have to land even if you fly here, right
"It seems that only those businessmen can be arrested and questioned one by one. You can't lose in the officialdom, and also lose in this business, don't you think?"
Ning Cishi thought of these things, and the only solution was to arrest people. Even if the business of the businessman Qinzhou was arrested, the business would be impacted, and it was not clear that he could not lose.
The butler listened to him, knowing that he was asking himself, and quickly said: "Master, please give an order to arrest them. There are also people who bought things. I don't believe that they can be tight-lipped."
"Grab, grab, grab all of them, don't let go of any one, ask clearly, how the goods are shipped here, I will take care of it if something goes wrong."
Ning Cishi gritted his teeth and said.
Crazy, really mad, an idea popped up in the butler's heart.
