When he arrived at the sauce shop, Lin Hualang had already sent him off at the door. And Lin and Lin Qingrou both got out of the carriage, and Liu Yong naturally came down too.

Liu Yong told Lin Hualang, and Lin Hualang obeyed all orders.

"Brother Hualang, all the western lands will be handed over to you, and the soy sauce business is our foundation." Liu Yong said.

"Brother, please rest assured, my brother Hualang should do his best." Lin Hualang arched his hand.

Liu Yong looked at Zhao Si and the others again, patted them on the shoulder, and Wang Xiao actually cried.

"Big brother, I don't know when you'll see you again!"

"Don't be sad, we will meet sometimes." Liu Yong said.

Over there, Lin and Lin Qingrou were saying goodbye with tears in their eyes. Liu Yong walked over and said a few words of comfort. And Lin Hualang also came to comfort his mother. It was easy to persuade the old man not to cry.

Liu Yong and the others got back into the carriage, and the convoy slowly drove off.

Lin Qingrou sat in the carriage and cried all the time.

Xiao Yanping comforted her mother and said, "Mom, don't cry, we and my mother-in-law will meet again." ”

Xiao Yanli cried when he saw his mother crying, he was only more than two years old now, he had just babbling and couldn't speak. I married him to a personal maid, and he was actually a personal nurse.

Yanping was very sensible, and wiped Lin Qingrou's tears with a handkerchief.

Seeing that her son was so sensible, Lin Qingrou hugged him on her lap and burst into laughter.

The sadness of parting is short-lived, but the longing is long-lasting.

……

Liu Yong's convoy went all the way south, rested when he encountered the city, and was inevitably feasted on the way. It's a very pleasant trip. After a month, it finally crossed the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and entered the Lingnan area.

At this point, the climate is even hotter.

The carriages of Liu Yong, Lin Qingrou and others all opened their windows, but they were still too hot.

As soon as they arrived at a place where there was water, they immediately went into the water to take a bath and wash away the smell of sweat from their bodies.

Not only is it hot, but there are also many mosquitoes and poisonous snakes in the mountains, so they try not to spend the night in the mountains. But once they caught up, they had to sprinkle realgar wine next to the carriage to drive away snakes and insects.

Fortunately, Zhang Xixi prepared a window screen, so that the road would not be bitten by mosquitoes.

In this way, I walked for nearly a month, and finally arrived at Guangzhou Mansion on Guangnan East Road. Guangzhou is a big mansion, a big city. There is a port to the sea, and it is one of the port cities of the Great Song Dynasty for foreign trade.

And the scenery of Lingnan is even more beautiful and colorful.

The prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture personally received Liu Yong. A feast is no longer a problem. And there happened to be a shipyard shipwreck at the banquet. Liu Yong naturally wanted to talk to him.

The next day, he was invited to the shipyard by the shipmaster.

This factory is really large, with a back to the sea, an area of hundreds of acres, and there are even more workers in it.

Liu Yong spent the whole morning just visiting.

In the end, when he was tired, he went to the yamen of the ship, and the shipmaster naturally wanted to invite Liu Yong to dinner. Liu Yong talked about asking him to order a big ship.

"Lord Liu, please speak." Said the shipmaster.

"That's right, I want a big ship with a displacement of one million pounds. I've already drawn the appearance. Saying that, he called Liu Qiang, and Liu Qiang took out the drawings from his arms and handed them to the shipmaster.

When the shipmaster saw this, he frowned. Then he looked at Liu Yong and said, "Lord Liu, this dress is too big, we haven't made it!" ”

In fact, the appearance of the ship painted by Liu Yong is more like the current warship, and the scale is probably about the same as that of the current warship. It's really big.

"You build it slowly, I'm not in a hurry." Liu Yong said.

"Okay then, Lord Liu, let's give it a try." Said the shipmaster.

"And then I need a hundred more boats." Liu Yong said.

Hearing this, the shipmaster was stunned.

In the Song Dynasty, the largest fleet was only fifty or sixty ships, but Liu Yong was a hundred, which is a bit scary.

"But among the hundred small boats, there must be twenty warships loaded with gunpowder." Liu Yong continued.

"Lord Liu, what are you doing when you go out to trade with twenty warships? Will the Holy One give you soldiers? The shipsman asked.

"The shipmaster doesn't know, I can go to sea for the royal family, and the saint won't give me soldiers and horses?" Liu Yong said with a smile. In fact, he is making it up.

"Oh, in that case, that's fine." The shipmaster replied.

"Look, Lord Shipmaster, it's going to take you a few years to do this." Liu Yong asked.

The shipmaster thought for a moment and said, "Three years, three years." ”

"Okay, I'll give you the money first." As he spoke, Liu Yong asked Liu Qiang to take out a money ticket, with 50 million yuan on it. Then he handed it to the shipmaster, and Liu Yong said, "This money can be withdrawn at the Royal Bank." ”

The shipmaster accepted it, smiled and nodded.

"Then I'll collect the ship in three years." Liu Yong said.

"Okay, no problem." The shipsman laughed.

Then the two drank wine for a while, and Liu Yong told the shipmaster about the court. In the next few days, Liu Yongdu was received by officials at all levels of the Guangzhou Prefecture, and it can be said that he was constantly entertaining, and he brought his wife on some important occasions, and if it was not important, he just participated casually.

Then I began to accompany my wife to visit the city of Guangzhou. Although this city is not as good as Lin'an, or even as good as Chengdu Mansion, it can be regarded as having a different flavor.

Not to mention, Liu Yong really came to Guangzhou once in his later life, and it was already an international metropolis with high-rise buildings.

From playing to eating, Liu Yong's family can be regarded as having played all over Guangzhou City.

Lin Qingrou and the others are also very happy, women, as long as there is something to play, something to eat, and money to spend, they will be happy.

After staying in Guangzhou for half a month, Liu Yong was ready to set off and return north.

Before leaving, he inspected the sauce shop and the bank, and everything was working normally, making him a lot of money. And he also told the bank that half of the profits would be left directly in Guangzhou, and he also asked the general manager to let all the banks on Guangnan West Road keep half of the profits.

Of course, the profits of the sauce shop were all left behind and handed over to the head office in Guangzhou City. The money was used to pay for the boat three years later.

After making arrangements, Liu Yong was relieved to return to the north. And Lin Qingrou and the others also miss Lin'an Mansion a little. That's heaven on earth.

All the officials in Guangzhou went out of the city to bid farewell to Liu Yong. Liu Yong told the shipmaster again and told him to build the ship well. Naturally, the shipmaster received the order.

As a result, Liu Yong's convoy drove in the northeast direction again.

The harvest in Guangzhou is that he made friends with the shipping master, Li Mingyang.
