"You personally asked the five managers of the dock last month. From what I have learned, everything is normal. Does the gang leader have any news?"
Hei Muzi first recalled what he knew, but when he saw Liu Yue's nervousness, he also became nervous. The Cao Gang had never encountered such difficulties before and could not afford any more trouble.
"I don't have any new information, but I feel a little nervous. No, tomorrow, I have to go to the dock to check it out myself."
"Then let me go with you?" Hei Muzi immediately volunteered to go together. Although the leader of the Cao Gang was not a high-ranking official, due to the large number of people and complex organization, the leader did not need to and could not do everything by himself.
"No need. The Hu family will arrive tomorrow. You can go there first under the pretext of doing business and get a feel for the Hu family. Then, you can say that you are the second in command of the Cao Gang."
Three days have passed since Li Ye visited the East Palace, but there has been no progress whether it is paying a visit to the Crown Prince or inquiring about the news of those clients.
The Zhou family's inducement to Tian Shu is unimaginable for other families. It is impossible for the Zhou family to afford the goods of those families. What is the mystery here
Liu Yue was sitting on a big tree beside the river in a tight outfit. The sky was still hazy.
The moisture-laden wind blows on my face, making it feel moist.
The lights on the boat and the dock were reflected on the river surface, and were stirred into tiny lines by the water.
The thin yellow lines are entangled with each other, just like Liuyue’s current heart.
Those who sail at night are all wealthy people who can afford to hire large, high-quality ships and have skilled crewmen. They dare to sail without stopping at night just to save time and seize business opportunities.
It’s a pity that several big merchants are no longer partners with the Cao Gang. Liu Yue silently watched a large ship with a "Zhou" flag sail into the dock, and the shore suddenly became lively.
The people in charge of unloading the goods became very active, with shouts, reprimands and the workers' calls coming one after another without stopping, making the sky become dim and light.
Liu Yue looked carefully at the situation under the tree. Although it was the Zhou family's boat, the people from the Cao Gang at the dock still did not break the rules. They still handled their business impartially without bringing in other emotions.
"Boss Hu, you see, 50% of the water transport on the Lujiang River is now under our control, and the construction of the canal in the middle reaches of the Lujiang River has been completed by 70%. Once opened, there will be no need to go around the sea from Dazhou to Daliang. The canal can directly connect to the Lujiang River, which will greatly shorten the voyage and time."
Liu Yue was so shocked that he almost fell off the tree. Who would start talking about business so early? And talking in the wind at the dock
Wait, the Cao Gang had 30% of its business taken away by the prince and Zhou Zhiyuan, and the remaining 50% was controlled by someone else? !
"Digging the canal is a great achievement that will benefit future generations. Your prince is wise! However, once the canal is opened, all merchant ships can pass through. Why did Mr. Zhou come to the dock to greet Mr. Hu in person today?"
Boss Zhou? Mr. Hu? Da Zhou to Daliang? Liu Yue quickly grasped these key words in his mind, and understood in a flash that the Hu family of Da Zhou had arrived, and the prince's future brother-in-law Zhou Zhiyuan had personally come to the dock to greet them before dawn!
The Zhou family's ship was just unloading cargo right now. This showed, firstly, that the Zhou family had good business and many customers, with ships arriving early in the morning. Second, it also proved that they were strong enough to sail at night.
Although the Shu River is not as windy and turbulent as the sea, it is still not without reefs, shoals, sharp bends and rapids. Zhou Zhiyuan's move can indeed raise a banner for himself.
"Boss Hu, you don't know that the entire Liujiang water transport will belong to the prince sooner or later. The current water transport gang is on the decline. As for the canal, haha, it was originally a project presided over by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How could the water transport fall into the hands of others?"
The two men had already walked to Liu Yue's feet. At the signal of their master, the followers fell behind and could not hear their conversation. However, every word of it reached Liu Yue's ears.
The Hu family was intercepted by Zhou Zhiyuan just after they got off the boat. They had already lost the initiative. But now Liu Yue could no longer care about the Hu family. Zhou Zhiyuan's words made her shudder with fear. The man surnamed Song wanted to kill all the Cao Gang!
