Chapter 225 Shipping Situation (1)

At the foot of the Fengbo Mountain in the middle of the waterway between Yunling and Yueshi, the treasure pot spirit canal dug by the craftsmen has been working hard for nearly three months, and it can finally be successfully opened for shipping. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In recent days, Pei Xing has sent large and small ships to sail several times, no matter what the weather and season, there has been no accident. With this spiritual canal, Fengbo Mountain is no longer a roadblock in this waterway, but has become a natural barrier against the wind.

Therefore, the Yueshi State planned to set sail the first batch of melon and fruit cargo ships in the near future, and gathered the Yueshi elders who had invested in the Crescent Moon Alliance to see who intended to take the lead and be the master of the first cargo ship to go to sea.

As a result, it was not surprising that the old man who spared no effort for the reconstruction of the country stood up, saying that he was willing to collect the first boatload of melons and fruits and transport them to Yunling.

Pei Xing watched him stand up first and speak generously, on the one hand, he was a little moved by the selfless consciousness of his subjects to contribute to the country, and on the other hand, he smiled helplessly in his heart, thinking, you can't wait a little longer and give others a chance. As soon as you stand up, this first shipping will be disfavored by everyone.

Money bag, money bag, who made you judge so accurately every time, and every time it's wrong?

Minsa glanced at Pei Xing with disdainful eyes, meaning to say, you should be content, do you think that if he doesn't get up, others will get up and respond? Don't worry, the money bag will definitely make a beautiful comeback in this shipping!

Pei Xing raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself, I don't care if he rolls over or not, but I am indeed confident in our business in the past few months.

Later, Minsa also received a letter from the Imperial City of Yunling, which made a detailed investigation of the legendary merchant Qian Bao of the Yue Clan, and his hometown was in the original Tocharian Kingdom in the Western Regions, which was the narrowest state in the Western Regions.

Moreover, Tocharian is not only small in size, but also very scattered in territory, so it has been conquered, ceded land, resisted, and repeatedly tossed over and over the years by the rest of the neighboring states. Perhaps the Qian Mansion didn't want to experience that kind of life again, so he found an opportunity to settle in the Yue Clan. The Qian Mansion used to operate a mine in Tocharo, and his family background was very rich.

After reading the verification letters in the Imperial City, Minsa, Pei Xing and still Shu can finally rest assured, there is no problem with this money bag that occupies the vast majority of the dividends of the merchants of the Crescent Alliance, as for whether he always loses money, that is not the category they care about, and they are not so superstitious about his affairs like the rest of the Yue Clan.

So a few days later, under the attention of all the elders of the Crescent Alliance, Qian Bao paid another batch of insurance premiums to the Crescent Alliance for this boatload of melons and fruits, and then the cargo ship steadily marched along the waterway in the direction of Wanling.

……

After the first ship set sail smoothly, still Shu and Minsa took Pei Xing to visit the gem craft workshop of the beginning scale.

After that avalanche, although they lost more than ten loyal ministers of the clan country, Minsa and still Shu also suffered, but it was not that they did not get any benefits.

They have the support and advocacy of the local people, who are rich in gemstones. Masters who are skilled in gemstone polishing and production are willing to teach their experience and sit in large-scale workshops.

However, the masters do not have to worry that their crafts will be fully learned, and the master will starve to death if he teaches the apprentices. They still taught all these apprentices in accordance with the principle that they only accepted a limited number of disciples in their previous lives.

The rest of the workers in the workshop only need to know the operation of that link in each type of work, so that they can not learn all the master's mastery, but also form an assembly line-like project, which greatly improves the efficiency of processing and making handicrafts.

The master and his apprentices have a lot more time to concentrate on creating beautiful gemstone jewelry. The jewelry that has been carefully polished by them is a unique gem, and after it is transported to Yunling, it will definitely cause a flock of nobles in Wanling.

After a full day of inspection, Pei Xing was quite satisfied with these workshops, and he seemed to be able to see the scene of a cornucopia of his Yue Clan's country in a few months.

At this moment, an attendant hurriedly came to report that the first ship carrying melons and fruits had been robbed by pirates near Fengbo Mountain.

"What, the action is ahead of schedule?" Minsa muttered to himself.

Pei Xing replied in a low voice, meaning that he knows, the lord of the country is very unhappy, you should retreat first. The attendant obediently withdrew.

"Hey, although this is necessary to win the trust of the elders of the Crescent Moon Alliance, I still feel sorry for the money we have to lose..."Pei Xing sighed and said: "This is dozens of times more expensive than the insurance premium he paid." ”

"It's really ahead of schedule, I was supposed to wait until I was about to approach the sea area of Yunling, could it be that the sailors couldn't wait, and they actually sent a hijacking ship to the front without authorization?" Still Shu didn't pay attention to Pei Xing's complaints, but thought about the discrepancies with Minsa.

"Aren't all the Wanling Navy troops well-trained, how can they be so anxious and not act according to plan, isn't there really a pirate?" Pei Xing saw that the other two ignored his words, so he had to follow their thoughts together.

Well... Still Shu nodded, and this was the only explanation to come. However, the Yunling Navy has obviously cleared out the pirates in that area in advance, how can there be bold pirates who come out to make trouble?

……

At present, shipping and handicraft workshops are already on the right track, but the problem now is that, except for the money bag, the rest of the elders of the Crescent Alliance are still skeptical of the matters set by this alliance. For example, in this shipping insurance, they don't think that the Crescent Alliance will really be willing to compensate dozens or hundreds of times the value of the goods to the cargo owner.

Therefore, Minsa and still Shu came up with this crooked idea, and informed the Wanling Navy in advance, asking them to eliminate this generation of pirates first, and then pretend to be pirates and hijack the ships of the first voyage, so as to give the Crescent Alliance a chance to compensate the shippers.

After the full amount of compensation from the Crescent Alliance, these elders are all rushing to come next time, who doesn't want to do this kind of good thing? If it goes well, you can make money, and if it doesn't go well, you won't lose money.

However, the Yunling Navy actually started a few hours in advance, could it be that something went wrong in the middle?

Minsa and the others thought that it was better to wait for the sailors and guards on the cargo ship to rush back and ask them what they had seen with their own eyes, so that they could speculate whether it was done by the Wanling Naval Army.

Moreover, before these sailors could rush back, Minsa, in the name of the Crescent Moon Alliance, sent a lot of the goods and money that should be compensated to the money bag master to the Qian Mansion at the first time. And solemnly apologized to Qian Bao, and promised that every future water transportation will be escorted by the Yunling Navy to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

This time, through insurance, the shipping of the Crescent Alliance was promoted, which attracted a burst of excitement outside the Qian Mansion. While admiring the money bag master, he finally saw the opportunity once, and at the same time, they all secretly made up their minds in their hearts, so they would collect the goods and go to sea for trade in the future!
