Volume 1: The young dragon arrives, and the young phoenix flies. Chapter 23: River Transport, Net Income.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the streets of Zhouzhuang are lit up everywhere, although the New Year has passed, but on the streets, in the courtyard, people's faces still have a strong New Year's flavor.

Perhaps in this troubled world, only the joy of the New Year can temporarily dispel the uneasiness in people's hearts, so everyone is reluctant to let this New Year pass too quickly.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, a huge beam of fireworks exploded in the sky, attracting the eyes of the people on the street, and after the sound, the laughter of children and the chatter of adults rang out.

The glow of the fireworks also illuminated the faces of the two children by the river, one was slightly handsome in childishness, and the other was slightly beautiful in cuteness. Both of them were holding a chrysanthemum-shaped river lantern in their hands, and at first glance, they were ready to put the river lantern to make a wish.

"Brother Feng, look, that firework is so big, so beautiful." Wan'er said as she looked at the fireworks in the sky that had not yet dissipated.

"Well, it's so beautiful, Wan'er, do you like that firework?" Shen Feng asked.

Wan'er nodded vigorously:

"Hmmm! Like. ”

"If you like it, I'll put a few for Wan'er every Lantern Festival in the future." Shen Feng smiled.

"That should be expensive, right? Wan'er doesn't, it's good to watch others set off fireworks. Wan'er looked at the sky again and said. Although the fireworks in the sky have dispersed, only some white smoke can be faintly seen.

Shen Feng smirked:

"Hey, hey! It's okay, your brother Feng and I will be rich soon, landlord! Can the landlord still not be able to set off fireworks? ”

Wan'er frowned slightly and said:

"But I heard from adults that the landlords are all bad people, and they always help the Yuan people to bully us Han people."

After listening to Wan'er's words, Shen Feng pondered for a while, touched Wan'er's black hair and said:

"Helping Yuan people do things is just a means to make money, but after some people make money, in order to make more money, they are unkind to the rich, and run rampant in the township. But once the Yuan people are gone, there will be crazy revenge from the people. ”

Shen Feng paused and said:

"And after I make money, I will only use it as a tool, a tool to win the right to speak, with a tool I can help more people, protect them, and let them not be bullied by the Yuan people. Even if the Yuan people are gone, the people I helped will not do me any harm. ”

"Although Brother Feng sometimes doesn't understand what Wan'er says, I believe that Brother Feng will not become a bad person." Wan'er smiled innocently after speaking.

The two of them squatted down and slowly put the lanterns in their hands in the river.

Wan'er interlocked her fingers with her hands, closed her eyes, and her beautiful long eyelashes trembled slightly.

After a while, Wan'er opened her eyes and looked at Shen Feng.

Shen Feng asked, "Have you made a wish?" ”

"Hmm!" Wan'er nodded.

Shen Feng gently pushed forward in the water, letting the chrysanthemum lantern leave the shore, and slightly released some spiritual power, so that the two lanterns quickly caught up with the river lantern group in front.

Although Shen Feng did not break through the second-grade rank during this period of time, and still stayed at the peak of the first-grade, his ability to control spiritual power has indeed improved by leaps and bounds, not only can he release powerful spiritual power to cause damage to the target, but he can also control the release of spiritual power in small quantities and do some delicate operations.

Since Shen Feng had comprehended the cultivation method of the three realms of heaven and earth true qi running together, the transformation speed of the internal force was also three times that of ordinary people, and the internal force in the dantian was also becoming fuller day by day.

At the same time, Shen Feng's improvement in spiritual power should not be underestimated, so he can achieve meticulous control of spiritual power and internal force.

Wei Lao once said to Shen Feng that the rank is there, and sooner or later it will break through, but spiritual power and internal power need to be accumulated, and the competition between sects to the end is to fight for the foundation. What about people?

So Shen Feng is not in a hurry now, anyway, his age is there, the uncle who lived to be in his thirties in his previous life has great patience for everything. I'm only six years old now, so what's there to worry about.

When Shen Feng was intoxicated with his rich ideological activities, Wan'er's beautiful voice sounded in his ears:

"Brother Feng, what wish did you make?"

"You can't say that, can you? It doesn't work if you say it. Shen Feng said with a smile.

"Really? Is there such a statement? Then I won't ask. Is it just related to Wan'er? Wan'er asked, her little face covered with a lovely flush.

"Hmmm! Of course. Shen Feng looked at Wan'er and affirmed.

"The wish I made is also related to Brother Feng." After speaking, Wan'er lowered her head embarrassedly.

At the beginning, Shen Feng also wondered if he had some kind of dirty habit, how could an old man in his thirties in his previous life have feelings for a six-year-old girl now.

Later, Shen Feng found that he was no different from a six-year-old child, whether it was physical or emotional, even joy, anger and sorrow, he would be happy for new clothes and fireworks, and he would cry because of a scolding from his parents.

And these things are uncontrollable, he will cry when he shouldn't cry in his memory, and he will laugh if he doesn't feel funny.

Gradually, he understood that in fact, whether he was psychologically or physically, he was just a child, and his previous life only brought memories.

The feelings for Wan'er are also uncontrollable. This kind of thing should be called early love in his previous life, but he prefers to use "childhood sweethearts, two little guesses." to describe.

After sending Wan'er back, Shen Feng walked home alone. From a distance, I saw a person standing at the entrance of the village, walking back and forth.

Shen Feng felt a little familiar from afar, and when he looked closely, it was Zhang Shicheng, so he shouted:

"Brother Zhang, are you waiting for me?"

Hearing Shen Feng's voice, Zhang Shicheng raised his head violently, his face full of joy. Hurriedly ran to Shen Feng's side.

Due to the blessing of internal force, he came to Shen Feng's side in a few steps, and said before he could catch his breath:

"Little San'er, you are back, it is so hard for my brother to wait."

Shen Feng hey Yile says:

"Hehe, why don't you wait at home? I can also have two drinks with my dad. ”

"When I passed by your house, I saw a bunch of people in the house discussing something, so I didn't go in. If you are in a hurry to see you, I will come here to wait for you. Zhang Shicheng said.

"Let's go, Brother Zhang, let's go home, talk as we walk on the road."

Zhang Shicheng nodded and walked towards the village with Shen Feng.

Along the way, through Zhang Shicheng's description, Shen Feng understood the purpose of his visit.

Since the bumper harvest of Shen Feng's family, after paying all the taxes, there is still a lot of grain and cotton left. If you wait for the vendors to come to collect it, Shen Feng thinks that it will take a long time, and the price is still very passive.

So after Zhang Shicheng recovered from his injury, he discussed with him, and took advantage of his many years of running boat business to take the initiative to contact the buyer in a place where there was a shortage of goods.

Since Shen Feng was Zhang Shicheng's life-saving benefactor, he worked extremely hard. The first batch of goods made a lot of money, but he didn't expect Shen Feng not only to pay him for the ship, but also to share 30% of the profits, and Zhang Shicheng was even more grateful.

So Zhang Shicheng took his brothers who could play with their lives, and drove a boat to become a salesman on the waterway in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he really did his best.

Some time ago, Zhang Shicheng contacted a rich man surnamed Lu who lived in Huzhou County. Because of Zhang Shicheng's character and reputation on the waterway for many years. The Lu family was ready to eat all the goods of the Shen Feng family in one bite, and they also paid fifty percent of the payment first.

Yesterday, Zhang Shicheng's brothers transported the last shipload of goods to the Lu family and paid back the payment. As soon as he got the money, Zhang Shicheng came to find Shen Feng.

"Brother Zhang, it's been hard along the way." Shen Feng thanked.

"San'er, you are far away, you are my savior, what is this matter? What's more, you give us a share, and the brothers have a share, and I don't know how much safer it is than selling smuggled salt. It's not an exaggeration to say that we are the life-savers of our gang of bitter men! What else to mention the hardship. ”

"Well, Brother Zhang, let's not talk about this nonsense in the future, what is the origin of that Lu family, who can eat so much grain and cotton in one go, and has not paid back any price, we will make a small profit all up to him." Shen Feng asked.

"Brother, you don't know, this Lu family is the richest man in our Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, we don't need to say how much money we have, all the profitable transactions are in the Lu family's industry, and all of them are the largest. Moreover, the power of the Lu family is all hands and eyes in black and white. Our order of goods is really not even a drop in the bucket for the Lu family. Zhang Shicheng paused and continued.

"Then there is that we have good goods, and the comprador of the Lu family fell in love with it at a glance, the rice is twice as large as the ordinary, and the cotton color and elasticity are also excellent. So the symbolic price is discussed, and it is forgotten. Later, he told the truth, this rice and cotton are the best of the best. It can only be used for the people in the house for their own use, and cannot be taken out and sold. Before leaving, he also told me that if there were any more goods like this, all of them would be pulled to the Lu family, and the Lu family would accept them all. ”

"At home? I'm afraid that if they take it all in the future, their family won't be able to use it up even if it's big. Shen Feng said with a smile.

"Huh? Brother, what do you mean by that? Zhang Shicheng was a little embarrassed by Shen Feng's words.

"Brother Zhang, it's not that I don't believe you, and I don't doubt the strength of the Lu family. That's the case, starting this year, nearly 10,000 acres of fertile land in Daru Huachi in Changzhou County will be handed over to our Shen family for cultivation, and 30% of the income will go to our Shen family. When the time comes, do you think that the Lu family's own people can use so much cotton and eat so much rice? ”

"Huh? Are you sure? Zhang Shicheng was shocked by what Shen Feng said just now, and he didn't know what to say.

"So I told you that whatever you encounter along the way, whether it is official or private, you must not be stingy with money, have you done it?"

"Hmm!" Zhang Shicheng had not yet recovered from the shock, and only said one word.

"That's good, so Brother Zhang, we must find more people after we go back this time, and we will be busy in a short time." Shen Fengyun said lightly.

"Brother, brother. Also, there's one more thing I haven't had time to tell you yet. Zhang Shicheng stammered.

"Brother Zhang, why are you still stammering? What is there to say. Do things steadily. Shen Feng felt that Zhang Shicheng was a little funny.

"These days, my brothers in various counties have called me back, and all the restaurants that have used our Xianwei have started to ask for goods." Zhang Shicheng said.

Shen Feng couldn't control his emotions anymore after hearing the news, and hurriedly asked, "How many are there?" ”

Zhang Shicheng replied: "There are thirty-two in total. It is the largest restaurant in each county. ”

Shen Feng jumped up happily and laughed:

"Great, rich."

Zhang Shicheng saw that Shen Feng's reaction was a little strange, and asked:

"Didn't you just say that you should be steady in doing things?"

Shen Feng was still jumping there

"What else are you steady? That's pure income! ”
