On the way back, Li Hengwu hated iron but not steel. However, Luo Yunshi didn't bother to pay attention to it, although he had prepared two days in advance, but the time was still too tight.

Back to Xiang Ji, the pamphlet that had been printed the day before had not yet been delivered, but the 100 posters prepared by Lao Sun had been completed, and Lao Sun was busy asking a group of idlers and teenagers to post them all over the street. Seeing Luo Yunshi coming back, he greeted him, "Master, Boss Peng sent someone to send the drawings, let us clean up according to the lines drawn on the drawings." Luo Yunshi took the drawings in Lao Sun's hand, looked at them carefully, and nodded, "Okay, have you recruited anyone?" How much does it cost in total? ”

"It's people from six villages, I heard that the master is going to recruit people to work, and they all came, just eat and live, and they all listen to the master."

Luo Yunshi was a little embarrassed, "Well, I haven't done anything to build a house...... ”

"Lao Sun has already talked with several clan elders from the village, a few of them are carpenters, and one of them also built a compound in Quanzhou Mansion when he was young, and it is not difficult to build a warehouse or something, and a few of them have already discussed and started to draw pictures. It's the wharf, and you have to find someone who knows how to come and see where to build it. There were still more than sixty taels of silver in the account, and the old grandson spent ten taels without authorization, so let them build the shed first. In the next few days, I'll go find someone to look at the dock. Quanzhou, Lao Sun is still relatively familiar. ”

After listening to Lao Sun, Luo Yunshi smiled, "Thanks to Lao Sun, otherwise, I really don't know what to do." As he spoke, he took out a hundred taels of silver tickets, "I know that this matter costs money, you take these first, and pay what should be paid, and then tell me if it is not enough." ”

Lao Sun nodded and took it, "Master, I'll ask them to make a budget first, see how much they want, and give you a look when the time comes." ”

"By the way, can you build a dock in half a month?" Seeing that Lao Sun was a little embarrassed, he added, "Just park the boat." ”

"Well, I'll find someone to take a look at it tomorrow." After a while, he asked with some hesitation: "Master, ...... the sailor here?" ”

"Fifteen thousand taels for three ships and sixty thousand taels for people, I will try to bring people back within half a month. However, Lao Sun, I heard that they are not in a good situation, and I don't know how many people they can pick up, and they will ...... by then. ”

"In this matter, the master has done his best, the old grandson understands, and the villagers also understand." Lao Sun said gratefully.

Luo Yunshi nodded, as if he had just reacted, and asked, "Ah, what did you just call me?" ”

"Sir."

"Am I that old?"

Lao Sun laughed, "It turns out that when Boss Cao was here, he wanted us to call him that." In the future, it's good that the master gets used to it. ”

**********

In the next two or three days, Luo Yunshi basically kept going, first looking for a few small merchants who had sued together, and through their introduction, he met several local elders in Quanzhou to promote the shares of Xiangji Ship. Most don't quite understand it, and a small part waits and sees.

And the power of the street notices is also revealed, and almost everyone in Quanzhou knows that Xiang Ji is recruiting shareholders. Every day, countless people come to Xiangji for interrogation, and even Lao Sun answers with a hoarse noise. Finally, a notice was posted at the door, and after three days, all interested parties were invited to come to Xiang Kee, and all questions would be answered.

In a few days, the momentum was huge, and even Li Hengwu of Quanzhou Mansion asked Luo Yunshi to ask about the situation. Luo Yunshi answered all of Lord Li's questions one by one. No, I also asked Mr. Li to help and make an appointment to meet several major merchants in Quanzhou. Even so, there was no income.

After negotiating with several small caravans, the other party also chose to wait and see, which made Luo Yunshi feel frustrated. The huge pain in his chest made him sober up a little. It's too simple to think before, and the real operation is by no means something that can be completed in ten days or half a month. What to do?

**********

"Excuse me, this little brother, is Luo Yunshi here?" Wu Xin asked a reception brother who was newly invited by Xiangji.

"My lord is here, but who are you?"

"Jingzhou Wu Xin, please report it."

Luo Yunshi ran downstairs, and when he saw Wu Xinshi standing at the door, his heart was moved by the old man in another country, and he couldn't help but hug him, and whispered in his ear: "Uncle Wu." ”

This situation made Wu Xin stiffen, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?" ”

Luo Yunshi let go of him, wiped his face, lowered his head and whispered, "Moving a stone, I hit my own foot." ”

Wu Xin laughed, "I've heard about it, go in and talk." ”

Luo Yunshi led the way and led directly into the living room.

Wu Xin looked at the layout of the entire Xiangji and said to Luo Yunshi, "You won't just live here, will you?" Look at you, a little haggard. ”

Luo Yunshi was busy making tea, with a smile on his face, "Uncle Wu can arrive, I am at least half relieved." ”

"I'll make you more steady." Saying that, Wu Xin took out a wooden box from his arms, "Twenty thousand taels." ”

Luo Yunshi handed over the tea, looked at the wooden box, and said stupidly: "Can I cry?" ”

"Hahaha, silly boy! Can you tell the whole story before you cry? ”

When Wu Xin finished drinking the third cup of tea, Luo Yunshi finally finished the matter as it was. "Yunshi, have you ever thought of the easiest solution?" As he spoke, he ordered a wooden box containing 20,000 taels of silver tickets.

"It's not that I haven't thought about it, but I don't want to."

"Yunshi, it's much easier to raise 3,000 taels than 40,000 taels. Uncle didn't say you can't do this, but time is too tight, do you consider talking to them? ”

Luo Yunshi frowned and did not answer.

"Yunshi, if you really want to save people like that, now is not the time to be angry. You say, don't you? ”

"They just paid more than 200,000 taels, I think, in such a short time, it is not so easy to ask them for money again, and besides, last time in Jingzhou, if it wasn't for Nangong Pu directly letting go, things wouldn't have been like this."

"Actually, have you ever thought about it, this is also your advantage. Just like this time, my uncle thinks your plan is very interesting, if it is in Jingzhou, with the support of Qifengzhuang, it can spread to the state capitals around Jingzhou in a few months, and it is still very hopeful of success. Now, think about it, what if this plan was made by the Nangong clan? Uncle believes that doing it with you is not a thing at all. Yunshi, uncle is not striking you, your thoughts, on your own, can't do it. "Wu Xin is very real.

Luo Yunshi sighed, shook his head with a wry smile, "To be honest, I've felt this way these days, so I feel like I'm very cowardly." ”

"Nest? Do you think the surname is Nangong Wobao? Hahaha...... fortunately your father was not there, otherwise I would have been angry with you. ”

Luo Yunshi continued to smile bitterly, "That's not the case, I'm not the same thing as them. Of course, I thought it was too simple, and I thought I could call it a board ....... ”

"Haha, Yunshi, you and the Nangong clan have no chance of winning at all, not even Qifengzhuang. Uncle has a saying, I wanted to tell you last time - blood is thicker than water. This time, it's also an opportunity, you guys have a good talk? ”

Luo Yunshi thought for a long time and said: "The problem this time is that there is not enough time, even if they have money, they will have to raise time." After all, the longer it drags on, the more ...... people become. If you can raise money in Quanzhou, it will be the fastest. Besides, I really think it's doable. Uncle Wu, we still have time, how much can we raise, if it doesn't work, I'll go find them. ”

Wu Xin smiled helplessly, "Okay, anyway, I, Wu Xin, have arrived in Quanzhou, and you also called me Uncle Sheng, so Uncle Wu will accompany you." ”

Luo Yunshi raised the teacup, groaned slightly, and said solemnly: "Nangong Jin replaces wine with tea, and respects Uncle Wu." ”

"Hahaha, don't. Uncle Wu is really hungry, so please invite me to dinner. ”

**********

This meal with Wu Zaixin was not in vain, according to Wu Xin's analysis, there was not much problem with Luo Yunshi's approach before, the problem was that no one was willing to take the first step. Now, with 20,000 taels, let's think about how to make the 20,000 taels article bigger.

The two made a rough plan and hurriedly went their separate ways. Wu Xin went to the Huguang Guild Hall, found fellow villagers in Jingzhou, divided 3,000 taels, and asked them to subscribe for a share of Xiang Ji in the name of Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce. took out another thirty taels, half of which was for the caravan members of the Huguang Township Association to subscribe for loose shares in their personal names, and the other half was of course the benefit fee for helping.

Luo Yunshi found Peng Sheng and asked Peng Sheng to agree to the warehouse and dock and sign a public contract. also took out 30 taels and asked the workers of Pengsheng Shipyard to subscribe for shares in their personal names.

At the same time, the two also agreed with Peng Sheng and Huguang Hall respectively that two days later they would hold a banquet in the most upscale Haifeng Qingyun Pavilion in Quanzhou.

Luo Yunshi had just arranged the banquet two days later and left the Sea Breeze Qingyun Pavilion when he was stopped by Li Songran.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Before Li Songran could speak, he patted his head and said, "I almost forgot, I was looking for you." ”

"That's right." Li Songran pointed to the Sea Breeze Qingyun Pavilion, "Go sit inside?" ”

"It's too expensive here. Just a few words, no. ”

"I just heard it, you said you want to charter the building?" Li Songran was puzzled.

Luo Yunshi asked in some surprise, "Hey, how long have you been standing outside?" ”

"It's too difficult to find you these days, I'm afraid I'll miss it again."

"I'm sorry, but I'm not available. I'll cut it short. The three ships under the name of Xiang Ji, you account for eighty percent, and now they are detained in the Guangzhou Naval Division, the total ransom of the ship is 15,000 taels, I pay 3,000 taels, and the remaining 12,000, you out. No problem, right? ”

Li Songran said curiously: "What about people? ”

"People? People are recruited by Xiang Kee, and they have nothing to do with you. ”

"I heard that it costs 60,000 taels, how do you pay it?" Li Songran said urgently.

"It's my business. Twelve thousand taels, three days, can you give it? ”

"You're going to raise money the way you do now?" Li Songran shook his head, "Sixty thousand taels, we can't get it in such a short time." ”

"I hope you can give 12,000 taels as soon as possible, just get the auspicious record, I'm not here, give it to my grandson." After speaking, he arched his hand to leave.

"We bought Xiang Ji, 36,000 taels." Seeing Luo Yunshi stop, he turned around. Li Songran said again: "It doesn't prevent you from saving people." However, after all, we have just made a large payment, and it will take some time to raise money now. Therefore, 30,000 six will save you first, and the boat can be slow. ”

Luo Yunshi seemed to be inspired by something, "Yes, the boat can slow down." In that case, we have nothing to talk about. Oh, and also, Xiang Ji is not for sale. As for the boat, there is an agreement between Xiang Ji and Ke Yi, you go back to look for it, but you can't find it, I have it here, look for Lao Sun, you can copy a copy. ”

"There's no need for this, let's talk about it, right?"

"I didn't finish it just yet. This is the end of the matter between us, and I won't trouble you again in the future, because I don't want to play anymore. As for the three ships, when will you take out 12,000, and when will I redeem them, the rest will be done according to the agreement. After speaking, he ignored Li Songran and left in a hurry.
