Chapter 289: Action
In addition to a small part of the goods brought by the government, most of the goods were quickly divided up by the major merchants, and the sailors who traveled to the sea could finally reunite with their families after returning to their hometowns, and those who had families immediately returned home to meet their parents, wives and children, but those homeless bachelors only had a place to relax, brothels and casinos were all places for them to vent their spending. γLatest chapter reading. γ
On the Northern Wei side, Chen Yu had no intention of terminating the southward trade because he wanted to use troops against the south, but only waited for this batch of trade goods to be prepared and the crew rested, the ocean-going fleet would continue to travel, and the money-making trade would not stop due to other interference.
The port of Yantai in Qingzhou, which has been quiet for many days, has ushered in a small fleet of ships to go to sea today, and their purpose is neither the distant Western Ocean nor Japan and Korea, but the uprising of Liang Guojiaozhou, this time the main general with the troops is Li Ben.
Hou Mo Chen Chong told Li Ben what Chen Yu said as it was, knowing that when the emperor valued him so much, the young Li Ben was so excited that he also shed tears, this Li Gouwa who grew up by the sea originally thought that his greatest achievement in this life was to be a fisherman with good skills.
But since he joined the army and became a member of the Northern Army, not only has he not been discriminated against in any way, but Mo Chen Chong, the governor of the capital, has been respected, and now even the number one person in the empire who has never met has never met valued him so much, what is there to regret in this life? Li Ben secretly vowed to do his best to complete the task assigned by Chen Yu.
Li Ben did not bring many soldiers and horses with him on this trip, as Chen Yu requested, but there were only a thousand elite soldiers who were good at water and land combat, but Li Ben was still full of confidence, he had been in the Northern Army for a long time, and he had heard more and more about Chen Yu's past experience, and now he had become a loyal fan of Chen Yu like his commander Hou Mo Chen Chong, and he also had some blind worship for Chen Yu, and he was not only very confident but also looking forward to Chen Yu's arrangement!
Li Ben expected himself to help the Jiaozhou Rebels defeat the Liang ** team, let Jiaozhou gain independence, and completely separate from the unbearable Liang State. Li Ben felt that only in this way could he live up to the expectations of Hou Mo Chen Chong and Chen Yu, at this time Li Ben did not expect that his achievements would not be more than that, a shining new star in the south was slowly rising, although he only had a thousand soldiers under his command now. He's just a team leader......
Like Li Ben who went to sea, another young man also quietly went out of Yecheng, which is a small caravan of the Lou family business house, which is now a giant in the domestic business world, and the scale of the business industry is beyond accurate calculation. This caravan belonging to the Lilou clan was originally inconspicuous, the only difference was that there were several guards in the caravan who looked very capable, and if you looked closely, you would see that these people all looked like they were from the army.
As soon as the caravan left the city, the caravan's shopkeeper Li poked his head out of the carriage and shouted to one of the guards with an arrogant attitude: "Xiao Zhao, I have something to ask you when you come up!" β
"Yes!" Xiao Zhao did not hesitate when he heard this, immediately turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to his companion, and flew into the carriage without waiting for the carriage to stop.
A handlebar-type old Wang who was driving a car in the back said with envy on his face: "The shopkeeper didn't bring a family member along the way, but it happened that this little guard was good-looking, and the shopkeeper let him serve nothing." It's just that I've just left the city gate, isn't the shopkeeper too anxious......"
"I said, Wang Laohan, don't chew your tongue! It's useless for you to be envious, just call your old boy look like Zhang Fei, otherwise maybe you will be the one who was called into the carriage by the shopkeeper! The rider of the guard teased.
"Xu Ergou, don't let go of your kid's stinky dog P, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the masterpiece of King Pingliao, and the fierce Zhang Fei in it is also a big hero, Lao Tzu's beard is specially left by his old man, and even if Lao Tzu is handsome, he will not do that peach and broken sleeve!" Handlebar-style grumbling of dissatisfaction.
"I can't see that you old boy has a lot of knowledge, and you know how to break your sleeves. Listening to books under the overpass, right? Xu Ergou scolded with a smile.
In the carriage, the shopkeeper Li, who was still arrogant just now, has changed to a look of sincere fear, "Shaodong......, uh." Xiao Zhao, I'm too tired to ride a horse, I think you might as well rest in my carriage, I specially changed the largest and most spacious carriage from the caravan yesterday! β
Shopkeeper Li moved his body to the corner as he spoke, and gave up a huge carriage to Xiao Zhao, and the relationship between master and servant seemed to be reversed.
"Lao Li. I told you all, you have to treat me like the rest of the guards, don't let others suspect, why did you forget it just out of the city! Although Xiao Zhao was dissatisfied, he still lay down comfortably on the fur in the carriage, "Only this once, not for example!" β
"Yes, yes, if you go out now, it will arouse their suspicions, so it's better to sleep here and I'll call you when it's time for lunch!" Shopkeeper Li said with a flattering face, and picked up the fan with his hands as he spoke, and took the initiative to fan Xiao Zhao.
This Li shopkeeper is also the old man of the Lou business group, because of the cautious work can be spoken, it didn't take a few years to rise from a small guy to a small steward, and now there is a shopkeeper who goes out alone to do business, this time going out to Henan to do business is just a routine, originally Li shopkeeper didn't care too much, but the day before leaving, Li shopkeeper was called by the big shopkeeper above.
In addition to the monthly routine report, the big shopkeeper on the top usually does not go to see his small shopkeeper, especially when he is going to travel tomorrow, although the shopkeeper Li is full of brains but does not dare to slack off, immediately ran out, to the big shopkeeper's house, after being led directly to the study, the shopkeeper Li found that the usually strict and arrogant shopkeeper actually stood aside respectfully, but a young man sat on the main seat.
The big shopkeeper quickly helped Shopkeeper Li answer his doubts, this young man is the actual head of the Lou family's business group! The young owner of the Lou caravan actually met with him in private, and even gave himself a task that required absolute secrecy, and the shopkeeper Li agreed with a sincere fear, as for this task, it was to let the young owner Lou Zhao pretend to be an escort in the caravan.
Just kidding, the young owner of the Lou family, that is the actual leader and speaker of the Lou family's business group, let the young owner ride a horse on the side, and sit comfortably in the carriage, it is strange that the shopkeeper Li can sit steadily, from going out to the present in this short trip of less than half an hour, Boss Li really tasted what it means to be like sitting on pins and needles, and he was blamed by the young owner, and the shopkeeper Li still called his top boss in.
Lou Zhao didn't complain too much about his subordinates, just like a small employee of a company working at a desk, suddenly the chairman of the company sat next to you, and he also asked you to work as usual, no one can help but be worried, as for the secret mission he performed, Lou Zhao is actually very incomprehensible, but over the years, he has trusted Chen Yu even more than his sister and brother-in-law, so he didn't ask much, and immediately went on the road......
