Before dark, everyone rushed back to the Heyan Sect.

In the next two days, at the request of Princess Taiping, who was already addicted, she went to hunt in the mountains a little farther away, and stayed in the mountains at night.

This time the number of people is much less, but everyone has also caught a lot, red deer, sika deer, elk, deer is a fairy beast, the most positive, a treasure, Li Zhi does not mind the number of more.

When I returned to Heyanzong, I saw Yao Zi'an, the master of the Xuanwu Sect, and Ye Rui, the elder of the Xuanwu Sect, as well as the Liupintang, the hall master Zhu Hanchi, and the deputy hall master Tai Yongning.

They came after receiving Yan Yongchun's message, and there are similar channels between the cultivation sects such as flying pigeons to pass on books, they are all from the distant black water, more than 2,000 miles, and they have rushed over in four days, which shows that they have worked hard all the way.

Li Zhi, who originally planned to leave here, was also stranded for two more days because of their arrival.

Compared with Heyanzong, the strength of Xuanwumen and Liupintang is much higher, like these four, only Tai Yongning is a second-level master, and the other three are all third-level master realms.

Without Li Zhi's help, even if they had cultivated in Tongyun Cave for a month, it would only be a bottleneck to ascend to their next realm.

In the past two days, Li Zhi helped them all raise a level, and these people will also enter the cultivation realm with him in the future, and it is also after consulting with him, he is willing to take out the Yuan Qi Pill.

In this way, among the four people, there are three third-level masters at the peak, and one third-level master, this unexpected surprise has made people happy for a while.

In the Heyan Sect, because of the secret edict cryolite, Li Zhi only helped the two sect masters improve their cultivation, and they are currently all at the level of third-level masters.

As for the others, the two also knew that they would always give them a period of testing, although they had a deep friendship with each other before, but in the face of such a large spiritual vein, it was difficult to guarantee that no one would change their mood because of this.

Even if the beggar who is closer to his personal affection is prominent, Li Zhi does not treat him differently, he has his considerations, in the future, the Yan clan will inevitably betray Zhou, he can't easily give this person more help, there is also a verification problem.

When Li Yiren and his party left, he specially explained to the two sect masters that they should be more vigilant at ordinary times, not to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and it is still necessary to take precautions.

Returning to the Tatar station, the beggar Seung-so, who returned early, had already prepared gifts for the guests.

Li Zhi also had dealings, and quietly left thousands of taels of silver to the beggar Chengzhu, and he could take it out ten times more, but then it would have the meaning of charity, and the equivalent value of the gift was the most reasonable.

Sanshanpu Port has now stationed in the barracks, Shengjing Zero is also waiting for them, Li Xia and Peng Zuoxiang are not there, and they have already rushed to Luoyang to meet them.

At this time, the main managers of the ship were Os, Berhayi, and Farid, all of whom were the pinnacle of the third-level masters, and they were also the guardians of the beginning of the future voyage.

According to them, the Shengjing Zero has been on trial voyage for three rounds in the sea area, and the navigator has preliminarily figured out the rules in the channel, and the probability of encountering risks is not large, and the time spent on nature has been greatly shortened.

In fact, now there is business coming to the door, and the goods are all pulled, and they are hanging in the temporary warehouse built in Sanshanpu.

But Li Zhi never came, and the three of them didn't know how to handle it, so they simply waited until they arrived before negotiating.

Sure enough, not long after Li Yixing arrived, several merchants found the ship, although these people were all big merchants on the ground in the northeast, because the waterway was opened for the first time, they had no bottom in their hearts, and they did not bring bulk goods.

Li Zhi is also real, with a wave of his hand, this trip is all free of their fees, because through the private understanding of the officers and soldiers stationed in Hong Kong, the volume of goods of these big merchants is huge, and the current ones, even if they add up, are not enough for the daily volume of one of them.

He knew in his heart that just by pulling down these important merchants, a Shengjing Zero could ensure non-stop operation, which would be a continuous source of silver in the future.

For these merchants, the opening of this sea passage has saved them at least six freight costs, not counting the time saved.

It was shortened by more than 2,000 miles in a flash, which was a terrifying concept for the land transportation speed of only horse-drawn carriages at that time, and it saved at least eight days each way.

Timely shipment, means that the payment period is shorter, and meat, vegetable business can also be involved, just imagine, the vegetables just picked in the morning, before dark can arrive on the other side, that is the first time in the world, the financial resources are immeasurable.

Therefore, these people were not only embarrassed to agree to Li Zhi's free trip, but even took the initiative to propose a very high amount, after all, their goods only accounted for a corner of the warehouse.

Li Zhi simply declined, not because he looked down on a few hundred taels of silver, but because he really had the heart to make friends with these people.

They were all natives of the Northeast, and their temperaments were also refreshing, so they didn't dwell on the matter much, and the contact person brought the goods onto the ship, and took out the wine and meat to feast the main people on the ship.

There are two cultivators among the people who came, although they are only third-level hunters, but there are regulations in the cultivation world, and there will not be many cultivators who will do some murder and interception, and this kind of realm is enough.

These businessmen are all human beings, and their understanding of Li Zhi and others is far more detailed than that of local grassroots officials, and they even know what Li Zhi did in Chang'an City.

Coupled with the strength of the people around Li Zhi when the cultivators among them told him, their attitude was very respectful.

Li Zhi was very generous, not only took out good wine, but also took out a lot of game, and ordered the cook on the ship to burn it.

Most of the Tang Dynasty people on board the Shengjing Zero, and those sailors in the Western Regions have their Muslim kitchens, but in order to avoid secrecy, it is forbidden to roast pork on board.

Fortunately, this ship is no longer an ocean-going cargo ship, and some people are greedy, so when they get to any port, they can get off the ship and find a restaurant.

And even if you take the inland circular waterway, you will not stay at sea for more than three days in a row.

That route is not the task of Shengjing Zero, and the small ships ordered by Ezhou and Guangzhou are about to arrive, and even the military ships of Dengzhou and Yuyang can be delivered in two months at most.

The latter two orders are the military manufacturing made by Pei Yan to contact, which is the kind of new military ships with eight or twelve cars, and there is no problem in traveling around the inland port.

The reason why the merchants are so careful, in addition to his identity, is also the Zhengqing Wenqitang under his name, which is now the largest luxury store in the entire Tang Dynasty.

That's because others can't learn the products they handle, whether it's rice paper, alcohol or snuff, they all have exclusive recipes.

Even if someone wants to do some tricks to steal some learning, it is not allowed, far from it, it is the bankruptcy of several county magistrates in Xia County near Chang'an City, and the nearest is the dignified Seven Kings King Kelin and the Three Sections of the Degree Li Liang, who also ended up with a haircut.

The power of the second king Shao Wang and the tenth king Ze was overthrown, and it is said that it was all the handiwork of this person, which person or force dared to have some conflicts with him?

What's more, there is currently Princess Taiping, the emperor's daughter, sitting next to this person, and looking at that meek and well-behaved face, a fool will think that there is no ambiguity between them.

In fact, Princess Taiping also deliberately revealed it, not to show the bit of greasy between her and Li Zhi, but to consider the future situation.

Once Gaozong dies, the surname Li will gradually be severely suppressed by the Wu family, and Li Zhi, a person surnamed Li, can hardly guarantee that no one will secretly cause trouble.

Princess Taiping is the beloved daughter of the Empress Wu, and if the shareholding status of this channel is revealed as soon as possible, even the martial party will have to weigh it in the future.

As for her well-behaved appearance beside Li Zhi, it is just an unconscious outpouring, and now this man is like a god-like existence in her mind, so that she no longer has the arrogance of the Tang princess by her side.

Li Zhineng felt the change in this woman, but he didn't care too much about what others thought, at least they were polite and courteous in front of people, and they weren't together all day long, so they really didn't plan to hide anything in the face of a few businessmen.

After introducing the cooperative relationship between Taiping and Shengjing Shipping, the businessmen were not surprised, after all, the Luoyang branch of Zhengqing Wenqitang, the two of them have long had a foundation for cooperation.

Their compliments, Taiping is just a passing moment, don't look at her young age, the palace is much harsher than the shopping mall, people at that level are used to it, and she won't really pay attention to the thoughts of the businessmen.

"Shandong Shizu is also our shareholder, this kind of cooperative relationship was invented by Mr. Li, and it has a good prospect of cooperation, so we attracted them!"

Taiping revealed the Shandong scholars in a few words, civil affairs outside the officialdom, especially in business, if you want to bypass the five surnames and seven families in Shandong, it is impossible, from a certain point of view, their influence in the local area is even greater than the imperial court.

The purpose of her remarks is to remind these merchants that if they establish a long-term business relationship with Shengjing Shipping, the entire Shandong territory will be unimpeded all the way.

If the business outside the customs wants to achieve the customs area, the Northeast specialty is only one of them, and the import of grain, vegetables and daily necessities in the customs is the largest.

Before the opening of the waterway, not only did the meat in the Northeast specialties not have the conditions to keep it fresh and transported, but the grain was better, and the situation of vegetables was not to be thought about.

Daily necessities are not afraid of tossing on the road, but the road is limited, the grain truck is often stranded in the middle of the road due to a rain and snow, a wall of at least ten days and a half months, the Northeast is the war-like war and chaos era, although the daily necessities are scarce in the Northeast, but there are few large transactions into it.

As soon as the route was opened, there were several more ways for Northeast merchants to make money, and Dengzhou was in Shandong, and if they established a good relationship with the local family, many things could be solved without the need for people.

And cooperating with these families, there is no need to worry about the business channels being intercepted, Taiping contains many layers of metaphors in just one sentence.

She didn't bother to say this kind of words, and the businessmen who came with a large number of goods before the official operation of Shengjing Zero were only those who had excellent business experience in the Northeast who had such vision, which also meant that they would have the possibility of greater development in the future.

What is a sitting tiger? The Shandong scholars are that they have a monopoly on industry, commerce, agriculture, animal husbandry, and learning in the local area, and only with their approval will there be business to do.

So the next businessmen became more eager, they all knew that Princess Taiping would never be untargeted, and she introduced her in a word, but saved themselves a lot of expenses and energy.

As long as Shengjing Shipping takes care of business, this sentiment is not small, of course they will beat the snake with the stick, and they are very faceless.

Seeing a few people, they quickly understood, Taiping shut up, and the next thing was Li Zhi's matter:

"Several scholars in Shandong have a close relationship with me, and I have to take care of my Shengjing shipping, which shows that the civil influence of the scholars is more than the imperial court, which is why Her Royal Highness the princess is here, and I am telling the truth! Moreover, this is a large producer of grain and vegetables, and it is also in the forefront of the entire Datang, your business is actually very good, and now the silver is brought here, and the sales in the Northeast will only be in short supply. My Zhengqing Wenqitang rice paper is this kind of sales channel, I call it a sales agent. ”
