Mu Chong and the others glanced at each other and laughed maliciously, knowing that Wen Xuan had some ghost idea.

Wen Xuan said solemnly: "But even if we let you go, the official ship escorted has been hijacked by the pirates, and I'm afraid you won't be able to pay if you go back, right?" ”

Mu Chong waved his hand with a smile and retorted: "You can't say that, if you spend all your wealth to build a relationship between the upper and lower levels, you should be able to win a way to live." ”

"What do you want?" Deliu sat on the ground in despair, helplessly looking at the two of them singing and harmonizing.

Wen Xuan touched his chin and asked with a thoughtful look: "Since you are in charge of the thousands of households in charge of the imperial court's transportation, you must have been involved in the people's commercial transportation, right?" ”

"Where the duty lies, it is inevitable to deal with those businessmen." After answering the truth, Deliu asked suspiciously: "But you are not in business, why do you ask this?" ”

When Fang Guozhen heard this, he slapped him on the back of the head and threatened viciously: "You can answer whatever you ask, where did you get so much nonsense?" ”

Deliu Yushi endured the pain without screaming, swallowed his saliva in fear, and glanced at Fang Guozhen with a winch.

"What do you see? Not convinced, aren't you? ”

Fang Guozhen was about to reach out to fight again, but was stopped by Wen Xuan.

It seems that this weak young man is still easy to speak.

Deliu made up his mind in his heart, and said flatteringly to Wen Xuan: "You continue to ask, I know everything." ”

"That's right, save you a lot of sin." Wen Xuan curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and then asked, "What kind of goods do these merchants usually send overseas?" ”

Such a simple question is naturally answered by virtue, "Most of them are silk, tea, porcelain and other things." ”

"Barter?"

"That's right, they usually exchange gold, agate, gems, spices and other things, and then return to Jiangnan and sell these exchanged treasures to the ladies of large families."

"How's the profit?"

"As a matter of common sense, most of this business is made by the officials in charge of coastal shipping, but the remaining profits are also very considerable......

Deliu Yushi paused when he said this, raised his eyelids and glanced at the crowd before smiling bitterly: "It's just that it's too dangerous to go back and forth by sea." ”

"Where do you usually trade overseas?"

"Although I know this, you can't remember it one by one, after all, there are too many small barbarian countries overseas, and there are at least dozens of them according to rough estimates."

Wen Xuan was a little surprised when he heard this, took a deep breath and squinted his eyes to confirm: "You mean that you know all the locations of these docks and ports where trade can be conducted?" You don't have to know these things to serve as a kaido sento, do you? ”

Deliu Yushi smiled bitterly: "I really can't escape your eyes, after all, I am also an official in charge of shipping, some merchants will give me two dividends for their business in order to make it easier for me, I am worried that they will deceive me, so I privately sent my subordinates to roughly count some." ”

Wen Xuan was a little shocked after hearing this, and secretly said that Fang Guozhen really picked up a cornucopia and came back today.

Seeing that Wen Xuan was silent, Deliu Yu cautiously asked, "What I know has been told the truth, what do you want to spare my life?" ”

Wen Xuan shrugged his shoulders, spread his hand and said, "It's true that you can spare your life, but you will have to stay on this Sanssouci Island in the future." ”

Deliu Yushi's eyes immediately widened, "Are you trying to let me join the gang too?" What's the difference between that and killing me? And if the court knew that I had taken refuge in Haikou, it would definitely not spare the lives of my family! ”

"You reminded me that if your family is not on the island, I am afraid that you will not be honest in your work." Wen Xuan looked at Mu Chong and said, "Brother Mu, please go and bring the pen and paper." ”

Mu Chong immediately understood, and after a short time, he brought the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Wen Xuan personally loosened the ties for virtue and truth.

Deliu Yushi frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

Wen Xuan was indifferent, "Take the pen and paper, naturally I want you to write a letter." ”

"Write a letter? What to write? ”

"Write a letter to your family and ask them all to come and settle on this Sanssouci Island."

Deliu Yushi was stunned and said: "Do you want our whole family to go into the sea and follow you?" No way! Why don't you just kill me, kill this heart! ”

"What's wrong with being on the sea, away from the court? Don't worry, you don't have to worry about all the expenses of your whole family, I will settle them down. ”

When it comes to the safety of his relatives, Deliu Yushi no longer compromises, and said in a deep voice: "But if I promise you, won't my whole family become important criminals in the court?" My descendants will never come out, and if I don't agree, it will only kill me! ”

Wen Xuan shook his head and said word by word: "I'm not asking you to make a choice. If you don't agree, tomorrow I promise to send the heads of your wife and children to you, and I will make public all the things that you colluded with the pirates and bribed the officials during your time as an official, and I am afraid that you will lose your life and not be able to save your reputation. ”

Deliu Yushi gritted his teeth and scolded: "You are really despicable and shameless! ”

"We're Haikou, what hurtful things can't be done?"

Deliu hesitated for a long time, but reluctantly took the pen and paper.

Wen Xuan glanced at the letter and handed it directly to Fang Guozhen, "Brother Fang, taking advantage of the fact that the official ship was robbed, Yuan Bing still doesn't know, I bother you to go on a trip in person and bring all his relatives and family members to the island." ”

Fang Guozhen obeyed the order, and after asking Deliu Yushi about his family's residence, he immediately called a few good people to take a boat to shore.

Wen Xuan then looked at Tie Niu and Sheng Wenyu again.

"Brother Li, arrange a clean room for our Haidao Qianhu Lord, and entertain him with good food and drink."

"Brother Sheng, the matter of unloading grain will bother you."

The two nodded and agreed, and went their separate ways.

Wen Xuan finished arranging things before turning around and going back to the room.

Mu Chong, who was on the left and right, asked, "You should have left him to find out the location of those ports where maritime trade can be carried out, right?" ”

"Yes, we are not like those ordinary businessmen who need to deal with officials, even the manpower accompanying the ship is ready-made, if this kind of business can be done, we can continue to resell the treasures exchanged for Shen Fu's hands, so that the money we can make is ......a huge profit."

Mu Chong was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and then came back to his senses, and muttered: "No wonder you want to use Shen Fu so much, and put the two altars in his hands, it turns out that I have been thinking like this from the beginning, I really can't see through you more and more."

Wen Xuan chuckled and was silent, and he should acquiesce.
