When they came to the bottom of the cabin, Zhao Xiang was disappointed, the bottom of the boat was full of broken stones, according to the emir, they encountered wind and waves on the way, and then went to the Yangon River Bay in Myanmar to take refuge, and by the way, added some stones to press the bilge, but did not expect that there were two pieces of green jade like a large and a small one.

Then they came to Da Song with a boatload of timber, and after the delivery, they settled the bill and owed a lot of debts.

The emir had been part of a caravan with twenty ships, but when he was in debt, his partners stopped playing with him and looted everything from his ships to pay off the debt.

For a businessman, capital is the most important, without capital, it is simply whimsical to want to buy some goods in a foreign country. He wandered in Quanzhou for two months, begging all the big food villagers, but no one helped. The seafarers on the ship also jumped ship to other fleets one by one, and in the end, all those who remained were his family's family members. Of course, the supplies are insufficient, and the days of drifting in the sea without a meal have been too long, and it is inevitable that these families will slack off.

Zhao Xiang couldn't help but think of the blackened silver bowl just now, which was estimated to be the only valuable belongings in the whole ship.

This is why a dignified seafood merchant, a big food merchant who ran the Maritime Silk Road, actually went to Zhangzhou City to deceive children. Of course, before that, he drew a big pie for a shipload of seamen, and first tricked them into smashing all the tens of thousands of pounds of stones in the ballast into pieces, only to find that there was nothing. Before deceiving Li Laoqi, he also acted as Bian He, a big eater, and entered the largest and only jewelry store in the city with a green heart stone that he thought was He's beautiful jade......

Speaking of this, Emir's bearded face couldn't help but be a little ashamed: "Zhao Xiang, if you are willing to fund me, I can help you earn back ten times the profit of your investment at one time!" As a businessman, I swear by my honor! ”

Zhao Xiang wanted to tell him that people's reputation was really not worth a few dollars in his opinion, especially a desperate maritime merchant like him.

Seeing that Zhao Xiang did not agree, the emir said: "I know that we have just met, and it is difficult for you to come up with a large sum of money to fund me, but our big food merchants are doing business all over the world, and what we are talking about is faith, and there is a saying in the Great Song Dynasty that people cannot stand without trust......"

Zhao Xiang couldn't listen anymore and interrupted him: "Emir, what kind of funding do you want from me?" ”

The emir hurriedly said: "If you can, you give me a boatload of silk, or porcelain, Zhao Xiang, you must not know, if my ship can dock in the Roman Empire, that is, Daqin, one tael of silk can be exchanged for twelve taels of gold!" I can buy a few more boats and come back with a full load of spice gems from the West, and I'll split all the profits in half of all your profits! No, no, no, seventy percent! Just stay at home, and I, the emir of the Great Eclipse, will bring you a mountain of gold! ”

The emir said very sensationally, and the three teenagers were excited, if it weren't for the fact that their little salary was really not on the table, they would all want to give each other into individual stocks.

But Zhao Xiang didn't have any silk, and he estimated that modern raw silk should not be cheaper, and it was not worth trading in the Southern Song Dynasty. But this investment that fell from the sky, he decided to get involved.

"How long will you stay here?"

"We have to leave in a month, otherwise we won't catch the monsoon, and it will be extremely difficult to sail."

Zhao Xiang nodded, so he still had enough time to prepare a little modern "specialty" for this bearded man.

The content of the rest of the chat is also known only to the two of them. The three teenagers Lang were separated by Zhao Xiang, and they were relieved and knew that the matter was confidential and did not dare to come over, so they had to wait far away on the shore.

After waiting for a while, he met the black bull and Sandezi coming out of the south gate in large bags. As soon as he talked about it, Black Bull felt the need to stay and wait together.

Zhao Xiang got off the boat, and the emir sent the boat off: "Zhao Xiang, you are the most important friend of my emir in this life!" ”

Zhao Xiang said with a smile: "Don't say anything about meat, I still say that, as long as you live up to me, we will make a lot of money and make a fortune together." ”

Then the two of them looked at each other and laughed, but when they turned around, they were startled, and at the end of the plank road, there were no less than fifty people. From a distance, it turned out to be all Wutian villagers.

"Zhao Xiang, you go back to the ship first! Hurry up, you slackers, someone's coming to rob you! The emir protected Zhao Xiang behind him and yelled at the deck, and the lazy sailors sat up, and they were all sober with fright when they saw the black pressure on the dock. In the blink of an eye, this group of sailors, who had been sleeping on the deck like mud, had turned into warriors of a hundred battles, and they were about to rush forward when they copied from all corners of the ship.

Others quickly hoisted their sails and were ready to leave.

If he hadn't seen this scene, Zhao Xiang might have always thought that Emir was just carrying a group of lazy old fritters, and even wondered if these people would eat black and black on the way, kill Emir and steal the whole shipload of goods that he would invest in him in the future. But apparently, laziness was just a façade, and the reason why the emir was so indulgent to them was because they had a knack for it—at least to look powerful.

The villagers waiting on the dock saw that as soon as Zhao Xiang got off the boat, the people on the boat copied the guy, and the bright scimitar was waving in the air.

"No, they're going to murder Mr.!" Zhang Wen shouted and rushed onto the plank road, and the villagers followed, leaving behind him a place of newly bought things.

Well, it's going to be hilarious.

Zhao Xiang hurriedly explained to the emir, and at the same time shouted to stop the villagers who rushed over, and a weapon fight was stopped.

It turned out that when the sun was in the west, most of the villagers in the two villages completed their purchases and left the city one after another. Liushui villagers are accustomed to taking the west gate, while Wutian villagers take the south gate. Walking through the south gate, you will naturally meet the villagers of the same village on the pier...... So they gathered more and more......

"What are you doing here?"

Sandezi came over and pretended to look Zhao Xiang up and down inadvertently, and said, "We are waiting for Brother Xiang to go back together, Zhang Wen said that you came to buy stones, we are afraid that you will not be able to move alone." ”

Black Bull also agreed.

A large group of people walked on the embankment, and this was about the last time the villagers of Wutian traveled in tattered clothes. On this day, the fine linen of the two cloth houses in the city was directly out of stock......

Zhao Xiang was surrounded by a large group of half-grown children, most of whom were holding a maltose in their hands, giggling and running around.

"Sunset, Red Glow...... Preparation...... Sing! ”

"The sunset is red and the sun is flying, the villagers buy and return to the village, return the village, the long hair on the head reflects the colorful glow, and the happy singing is flying all over the sky......" Zhao Xiang led the way, and a large group of children around him sang this song with the lyrics changed to nondescript with the ghost.

……

The next few days were still calm, the sky still didn't rain, and the project was still going on, but Zhao Xiang appeared less often, so that Chunyang came back and didn't see him for two days.
