(Tsk, isn’t the title a bit shameless?)
"Brother Feng, what do you think of this compass?"
Liao Xifan couldn't help but ask after roughly reading the news in his hand.
Feng Zhihua looked at it more carefully, but he hadn't finished it yet. He said without raising his head when he heard the words:
"Brother Wei thinks this compass is very good. Xifan, you have never been to the sea and don't know the risks at sea. Brother Yu once heard a few seafarers describe their experiences at sea. The vast sea is boundless. It's okay if it's sunny. You can determine your course based on the sun, moon and stars, but if it's a rainy day, the scenery in all directions will be the same and you won't know which direction to sail.
If you accidentally enter deeper waters, you may never get a chance to land again! But it’s different with this compass. Even if we are unfortunately separated from the large fleet, we can still find the correct course with the help of the chart and compass. Do you think this compass is useful? "
"It's so terrifying!"
A look of horror flashed across Liao Xifan's face, and he murmured.
"So you see, didn't the imperial court stipulate that the private merchant ships participating this time must ensure that every five ships must have at least one compass? Brother Wei plans to send someone to Qiquge Pavilion to buy a batch of compasses when the East Market opens soon. "
Feng Zhihua said calmly.
"However, this compass actually sells for five guan (the price purchased by the imperial court is four guan, of course it is a little more expensive for the private sector). Isn't it too expensive?"
Liao Xifan couldn't help but said.
When Feng Zhihua heard his old friend's words, he couldn't help but said sincerely:
"Xi Fan must not be short-sighted. This time we go south, our profit will be at least ten times more. The more goods we send, the more we will earn. In comparison, this investment is still very worthwhile. Besides, When we do business, we must be conscientious. Buy some compasses, and the lives of the crew will be protected. Don't lose the big for the small. Brother, I will buy fifteen compasses soon, and then one will be given to each ship! I hope it will be interesting The pavilion has the goods!”
"What Brother Feng said makes sense, little brother, I will go with Brother Feng soon!"
"Xi Fan, you should also read the following news carefully, especially this article, "Five Precautions for Navigation at Sea". Brother Wei benefited a lot after reading it! I didn't expect that Lord Li is so young. , not only is he good at business, but he also knows so much about navigation, which is really incredible!”
"Really? Then I'll read it again carefully, but ordinary people like me and I can't understand Lord Li. If that scoundrel in my family was half as smart as Lord Li, I would be willing to die immediately!"
Feng Zhihua sneered and said: "Ha~! Xifan, you are really big-hearted. If that incompetent brat of mine could be as smart as Lord Li, I'd be afraid that the old man would wake up laughing even in his dreams!"
The two of them talked about the issues of the younger generation, and they felt like they were talking about Li Zexuan.

In today's newspapers, not only the content of the news section has been expanded, but the novel section has also given endless surprises to the majority of novel fans in Chang'an City!
Sun Mansion.
"Wow, that's awesome. Ten chapters have been updated today. Oh my god, it's so cool, hahaha! I didn't expect that rewards could be useful in this way. I should have known that I had asked someone to reward me yesterday! "
Sun Zifan looked excited. Where he was looking now, he was writing the author's remarks at the back of the novel: "Thank you Li Zexuan for your thousand-guan reward. I would like to add another update!"
Anyone who has read the novel must have experienced the pain of book shortage! Yesterday, the little fat man had a great ambition to write a novel by himself, but as a result, he locked himself in the study room and fussed all morning. He didn't even write a chapter. He either wrote it or threw it away. Writing, in the end, this guy just flipped the table, patted his butt, found the old "Mortal Cultivation of Immortality" and reviewed it again.
Although you can make money by writing novels, whoever wants to write can write it. I don’t write anyway. From now on, I will only be responsible for reading novels!
Sun Tzu Fan thought at that time.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..
Kaihuafang, Wang Meng's house.
Wang Meng saw that today's novel section almost occupies an entire newspaper page. He was also greatly surprised. He counted for a long time before he figured out that there were ten chapters updated today.
"Damn, ten chapters! Pi Xiake is crazy! Ouch~! So many people rewarded you yesterday?"
But Wang Meng glanced at the back of the newspaper and saw that it was full of red. They were all rewards for "The Story of Mortal Cultivation of Immortality" yesterday! Those who could leave their names in the newspaper were all rewarded with a reward of more than 100 guan. He made a rough estimate and found that the total recorded on it alone was probably close to 10,000 guan, right
Wan Guan! How much does that cost? Wang Meng couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Although he was not greedy for money, he still couldn't help but feel short of breath when facing this tens of thousands of dollars. If he could write novels like Pi Xia Ke, he would be really awesome.
"Oh, it's a pity that I didn't appear in the newspaper, but it's good to get this helmsman badge!"
While Wang Meng murmured to himself, he proudly took out a small copper sign from his arms. The front of the sign clearly said "Helmsman" and the back of the sign said "Mortal Cultivation of Immortality". This is what he went to the workshop to type yesterday. After the reward, the workshop boy gave me the badge in the afternoon (the workshop had not finished processing the badge for the helmsman level in the morning, so I had to finish it in the afternoon and send it to him).
Wang Meng's father was just a ninth-grade official in the Ministry of Industry, and his family was not very wealthy. Being able to reward him with ten ounces of money was already Wang Meng's limit.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Cheng Mansion.
"Haha, Wu Yun, come here quickly, come here and take a look, your young master is in the newspaper!"
Cheng Chumo took the newspaper and shouted excitedly in his yard. When the little book boy heard his young master calling him, he trotted over quickly, but was dragged by Cheng Chumo to read the few lines in the newspaper:
"I struck the knot in admiration and stood up with a slap on the case. Otherwise, this reward would not be enough to express my gratitude! Cheng Chumo of Huaidefang rewarded the Pi Xia Ke with a hundred guan!"
As a bookboy, Jiang Wuyun certainly knew some words. After reading it, he couldn't help but feel speechless. In his opinion, spending a hundred yuan just to show up in a corner of the newspaper was not a brain defect.
"What kind of expression are you looking at? Your young master is in the newspaper, aren't you happy? Oh, and I also got a silver alliance leader's badge! Tsk tsk, it's so beautiful!"
Cheng Chumo looked at his boy's reaction and found that it did not meet his expectations, so he couldn't help but express his dissatisfaction.
"Haha, happy, happy, I'm happy for the young master! The young master is so awesome!"
Jiang Wuyun reacted and quickly smiled.
"Hey, that's pretty much it!"
