Section 613 A person who has died
The little wolf wrote on the registration of the Chu army that it was death.
What is falling overboard at sea, not death?
I haven't heard of anyone who came back alive.
The little wolf scratched his head, and Bi Yi noticed that the little wolf's hair was so short that he couldn't reach out to grab it, and asked at the moment, "You were rescued." ”
"Don't hide it from you, I jumped into the sea by myself, I just wanted to escape. A few days ago, I secretly took my father out, and I also married a mother-in-law and took two concubines. These people are all my men, half of them are from our village, and the other half are taken in. ”
After the little wolf explained, he glared at the people around him, and everyone hurriedly hugged his fists: "Bi Tou is good." ”
Bi Yi looked at the little wolf, and then looked around, the number seemed to be nearly a hundred.
"Are you okay here?"
"It's okay, I'm just waiting for the ship right now." After the little wolf answered, he said to the two men: "You are watching here, and at noon beckoning the brothers to eat well, and I will invite Bitou to eat and drink." ”
"Brother Wolf, don't worry, it's just that if there is a job, do you go to call you, or we will arrange someone to go first."
"You arrange."
The little wolf was about to leave with Bi Yi, but saw a few people in silk approaching over there, and the little guy next to these people shouted: "Get loaded, everyone ......"
Before he finished drinking, he saw dozens of stones flying over, and the people who smashed them ran away with their heads in their hands.
After the stone was smashed, someone shouted: "Get farther away, find the bag bearer and go to the West Wharf." ”
Not far from this place, there are a series of restaurants.
It should be said that it is not called a restaurant, it is a restaurant that sells alcohol.
A vacant lot is a house, a large vacant lot is dozens of houses, the house is a kitchen, the house is a warehouse. Meals are all in the open space, there are tables, there are benches.
The little wolf sat down: "Shopkeeper, serve good food, come to five jars of good wine from the Jiupu Red River Valley." ”
"You kid, you're rich. Even the best Red River Valley dares to order, but I don't have it here, you wait for me to send someone to buy it for you. A jar of silver. ”
The little wolf took out a money bag from his arms, poured out ten silver coins and handed them to the shopkeeper: "To serve good food, there must be at least four treasures of the sea." ”
"Don't worry, Bazhen said that you don't believe it, Sizhen, you look good."
A jar of silver.
One silver coin is equivalent to five hundred Qin coins, one thousand two hundred Chu coins, and two jars of wine are Bi Yi's entire income in a month.
Bi Yi said with emotion: "It seems that you are doing well now." ”
"It's good."
Another person asked, "This Jiupu can make wine?" ”
The little wolf replied: "No, it is the top winemakers of Xianyang Palace, Qi Palace, Wei Palace, Han Palace, and Yue Palace. Dahejun went to a place on the Hongshui River that he personally selected, saying that the water there was good, the soil was good, and the people were outstanding. There are no workshops allowed to be built in the 300 miles of the square garden, and it is not allowed to cut down trees at will. The place where the water is fetched is guarded by the Qin Palace, and the wine there is divided into three grades, and we can't buy the top ones even if we have money. ”
The upper reaches of the Chishui River, the location chosen by Bai Hui.
The best winemaker in the Palace of the Five Kingdoms, this wine is certainly good.
Based on these conditions that the little wolf said, a silver coin and a jar, I am afraid that it will be sold cheaply.
When the wine came up, Bi Yi knew what it was expensive.
One altar, usually said that one altar is five catties of wine, and there are twenty catties of wine in the big altar. This altar, I'm afraid it doesn't even have two catties.
The little wolf picked up an altar and put it in front of Bi Yi: "This is twenty taels and one altar, and there are not many people who can drink one jar without getting drunk." ”
Bi Yi poured a glass of wine for the little wolf and asked, "Back then, you jumped into the sea by yourself." ”
"I don't dare to hide it, it is indeed the sea that I jumped into, it was the brother on the boat who helped me fight an ambush, reporting that I fell into the water and was not rescued, in fact, there was a boat not far away to pick me up. I spent all the money I had saved for this one. ”
Bi Yi asked again: "And then?" ”
"Then I went to sea with the Qin ship, and in the past year and a half, I have earned some family business."
"And now? What's going on on the docks? Bi Yi had countless questions to ask at this time.
The little wolf thought for a while and said, "The ship of Xingang, or the ship of the Qin State, does not have a private ship. All the boats, even if they are bought by themselves, are under the control of the Qin army's sailors, and they have to guide them when they go to sea and what routes they take. Half to three-quarters of the load is distribution, and the rest is its own cargo. ”
"Yes!" Bi Yi nodded, he had also heard of these.
The little wolf continued: "Qin Jun is strict, it's not that no one cheats, but once it is discovered, the consequences are very serious. Besides, the people on the ship, no matter what kind of ship it is, except for the direct subordinate of the Qin Jun Naval Division, the rest of the ships recruit crew members only the day before they go to sea. ”
"Why?" This made Bi Yi a little incomprehensible.
Supposedly, isn't it more reliable to have a fixed crew?
Little Wolf explained: "Because after the ship arrives at the port, it is impossible to go to sea again in a short time, and it is necessary to rest and prepare goods. With the exception of a few fixed main crew members, the rest were temporary call-ups. But it's temporary, but in fact, everyone has their own familiar boats. ”
Bi Yi understood, this is a boat resting and people are resting.
Some ships had to wait a month to stock up on goods, but during this time, some crew members ran away again on other ships. A month from Newport to Wajima is enough time for a round trip.
Bi Yi asked again: "Do you earn more?" ”
"It's not a little, the military regulations of the Qin army, a large portion given by the military ship to the sea, how much, only the sailor knows, like us people, after getting on the ship, about seven cents of the value of the goods will belong to us, or negotiate a money, pay half of it first and then pay it off, but the amount of money is definitely lower than the value of the goods, but sometimes the goods can't be exchanged for money. I still have more than a thousand pieces of cloth piled up at home. ”
"Cloth, isn't it money?"
"Not here in the Qin army, there is also a difference in the quality of the cloth, but recently I heard that the price of cloth has risen, and the Qin army began to transfer the linen cloth of Bashu to Xingang, and yesterday I saw two big businessmen from Xianyang, that is a real big businessman, and one of them is still our Chu people."
mentioned this big businessman, it was the Chu merchant who traded with Bai Hui when he was in Beiqu.
Moved to Luoyi, and then settled in Xianyang.
With Bai Hui as the backstage, his business can be done in Da Nang, even if the tax deduction is so dark that there is no daylight, he can go to Da Nang to do business, and I don't know how many people envy and hate him.
Finally, Bi Yi couldn't help but ask him what he wanted to know most.
"Ever heard of the Swordfish?"
The little wolf laughed: "Bi Tou, you are joking." Who doesn't know that the six boats that follow the great river monarch across the sea for 8,000 miles, and those who have never heard of the flying swordfish are embarrassed to live on this dock. ”
Bi Yi lowered his voice and asked, "I have seen the captain of the Flying Swordfish, who is from Yue, and he said that the Flying Swordfish has distributed a lot of money to the crew this year, with thousands of gold. ”
The little wolf was stunned for a moment with the wine glass, and nodded silently: "Almost." The last time I sailed, I helped save a man who had fallen overboard, and that man was a scribe who was on one of the six legendary ships, the Tuna, and then the Tuna sent a gift from Xingang, and I had a drink with him. ”
