386 A little help
The docks in Keelung County, as long as you have money, you can do almost anything.
Meng Fei and the others suddenly advanced their journey, although it was unexpected by the shipowner, but under the attack of money, in one day's time, the supplies consumed at sea in this month were collected by the merchants who specialized in this trade, and sent to Meng Fei and their ships.
"You're ready to leave tomorrow, huh? Don't stay any longer? ”
The Bengang staff who was in charge of Meng Fei's registration when they entered the port asked while supervising Meng Fei's supplies.
"No, I think it's better to hurry south, and after selling this batch of goods, it's not too late to come to Keelung County to play again."
Meng Fei said with a polite smile.
"That's right, you can have fun at any time, but making money is the real big thing, admire!"
With a look of appreciation, the staff echoed.
"If you sail tomorrow, if you don't have a companion, I happen to have a few seafarers here, if you are interested, you can go and contact them in the evening."
Of course, taking advantage of the convenience of the staff, the young members can still give Meng Fei some help, and Li Tianyang of the Hong Dynasty once said that they, the staff of the Hong Dynasty, should not be high-ranking power, but should serve their work objects with goodwill.
Like Meng Fei, who is the existence of the first brother of the sea at a glance, the staff who receive them in Keelung County are always willing to help them and make them less risky.
A few more maritime merchants like Meng Fei and them are a gratifying thing for them in the Hong Dynasty and Keelung County, Keelung Port can have such prosperity as it is now, it is also composed of many maritime merchants like Meng Fei and them, without these new members to join, then the future prosperity of their Keelung Port is a castle in the air, and it will not last long.
These are all things that they have learned in school and that they have slowly thought about outside of work.
"Ah, is this convenient? Will it bother you? ”
It was the first time Meng Fei saw such a local official as Keelung County, and he actually took the initiative to help, although he said that he was not worried about the risk of pirates at sea, but if he really had a few partners, then Meng Fei and they still had to be more down-to-earth.
However, for this kind of inattentive thing, Meng Fei and them can be regarded as people who have been dealing with the outside for a long time, although they have words of gratitude on their faces, but in fact, they are still a little vigilant in their hearts.
"Don't worry, I introduce the owners of these sea ships, they are all registered in our Hong Dynasty, and they won't care about this little thing of taking you on the road together."
"By the way, the most important thing for you should actually be to buy a few copies of our "Keelung Daily", which will have the price of the goods that have been lacking around Keelung in the recent period, and you can use this to purchase some goods back when you return from Nanyang."
The staff often deals with people like Meng Fei, and they know from the look on their faces that the other party may not listen to their words, but they don't care at all, anyway, as long as he does what he can do, and whether they are willing to act or not, then he doesn't care.
"It turns out that there is such a doorway, then I Meng Fei thanked Mr. Xiao here first!"
"Don't keep calling me Mr. Xiao, I'm just a small registrar at the dock in Keelung County, surnamed Wu Mingfei, just call me Xiao Wu in the future."
"Take it, these are the names of the owners of the ships that sail tomorrow, and the dock where they are."
"Also, this is the payment for the two days you docked at the dock, and you can count the rest of the money."
“…………”
After some exchanges, in Meng Fei's gratitude, this staff member surnamed Wu, after Meng Fei and their supplies were completed, walked out freely, and didn't even take a sip of Meng Fei's pastry and tea, which really made people feel a little unkind.
But to say that it is not close to people, the help given by the other party is not small, it can only be said that the officials of the Hong Dynasty official mansion are really very different from this Ming official mission, although it makes Meng Fei and them feel a little difficult to deal with, but why not let them breathe a sigh of relief and admire the other party's words and deeds!
After sending off the staff, looking at the sky that had not yet completely darkened after the replenishment was completed, Meng Fei was hesitant about the few companies that Wu Fei Steel said about getting on the ship, as well as the matter of "Keelung Daily".
But fortunately, Meng Fei still had a character who knew more or less more than himself by his side, and he waved his hand and beckoned the shipowner over.
"Master Yu, you have traveled from south to north and have seen a lot, do you think this Lord Wu has given a proposal, should we give it a try?"
Meng Fei asked Wen directly.
"The owner, I'm usually the one who acts with the ship, and I naturally didn't say anything if I wanted to show me the route and check the sky, but if I want to talk about other people's friendships, it's not very much."
After all, it was only the first time for the owner of the ship to deal with Meng Fei and them, and his behavior was mainly based on old and serious, and he really didn't want to interfere in irrelevant matters.
"It's okay, how do you say that you are also an old man who often runs this route, if you have anything to say, even if you say something wrong, we can't blame you!"
Bi Yong helped from the side, as a companion, in addition to being more conservative and hedonistic, in fact, Bi Yong still has a lot of advantages, otherwise he would not be able to sit firmly in the position of the patriarch of their Shanyang Bi clan.
“……”
The owner of the ship was silent, and secretly glanced at the two employers in front of him, seeing that his expression was relaxed and firm, and finally he could only sigh in his heart, and then said: "Then, the little one will tell me what I think!" ”
“…… The Hong Dynasty officials said that these maritime merchants are unreliable, in fact, it is not difficult to confirm, we only need to go to the laborers on the dock and the inn to inquire, what is the other party's style of acting, we can get a glimpse of one or two! ”
“…… Moreover, I heard that the people of the Hong Dynasty did business, and they liked the word trust the most, if it was the maritime merchant who misbehaved and practiced indiscriminately, as long as the flaws were exposed, it would inevitably be spread by the merchants here! ”
“…… As for the newspaper, I have heard that many businessmen will hang up procurement information and employment information on it, and there are also news about inns and shops advertising, and if you look at it this way, most of what they say is still somewhat reasonable. ”
“……”
Anyway, since he spoke, the owner of the ship didn't hide it, and then told what he knew, as for how the two proprietors decided, it was their business.
