The man took the gold into his arms, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Although this guest is the first time you have gone to sea, you are a person who can do great things at first sight. โ
"Okay, I know how many catties and taels I have, tell me about this Jin Siye."
"Yes, listen to me slowly." The guy said, "There are three kinds of boats that go to sea from our Shiqiao Town. The first type of ship only collects the fare and does not carry its own cargo. This is the kind of boat you wanted to fly on in the first place. The boss of this kind of ship, as long as he collects money, does not care about the internal disputes of the guests, and an honest person like you is the most likely to suffer. โ
"What about the second one?"
"The second is your own ship, or a few acquaintances who have bought or rented a boat. You can't get on this kind of boat if you want to. Jin Siye's ship is the third type, and he has four big ships, and his own goods can almost be filled. You can earn a little more by soliciting customers, and it doesn't matter if you don't. Therefore, when the guests arrive on Jin Siye's ship, they must follow the rules of Jin Siye. โ
After a pause, the guy continued: "You retail merchants, if you can get on the ship of Fourth Master Jin, then you will be considered happy. No one dared to bully or say anything, and even the fare was less than that of other ships. If the goods are not easy to sell, you can still ask Jin Siye to help you resell them. โ
Cui Geng said: "In this case, there must be many retail businessmen who want to board the ship of the fourth master of Jin." Please also ask the second brother to tell me, how can I get Jin Siye to allow me to board the ship?
"You only need to grasp two things and you can be invincible. First, Jin Siye admires our literary scholars of the Tang Dynasty, you have to pretend to be a scholar. Second, Jin Siye likes Buddhism the most, even if you are a person who worships the Tao, you have to show that you believe in Buddhism. โ
"Believe in Buddhism?"
Cui Geng is escorted by He Lou Aoqing, but he is not worried about being bullied, and he does not necessarily have to go to sea on the ship of Jin Siye. The main reason why he chatted with this guy was to find out the news of this maritime merchant's voyage to see what could be used.
After hearing the news of Jin Siye's worship of Buddha, Cui Geng couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.
This Jin Siye is a native of Silla, quite powerful, and likes Buddhism, will it have anything to do with Silla Temple? If he could use his connections to break into the Silla Temple and steal the so-called Buddha's finger bones, wouldn't this mission to Silla be half completed?
Thinking of this, Cui Geng asked again: "I heard that the Silla Temple in Silla is very effective, since this Jin Siye believes in Buddhism, does he often go to Silla Temple to worship?" โ
"I really got the guest talking about you." The guy introduced: "Silla Temple is the name of our Tang people, and the Silla people call it Faliu Temple. According to legend, this temple was built by the Silla Shichum Daeseong in order to surpass the parents in their previous lives, and it is the most beneficial way to pray for the well-being of their parents. For the sake of the health of his parents, Jin Siye often went to Faliu Temple to give alms, and he also had a great relationship with Xuanguang, the host of Faliu Temple. โ
When Cui Geng heard this, he couldn't help but pat his thigh and said, "Great!" โ
"Well, what's good?"
"Uh...... I said that it was great that this Silla temple could pray for my parents, and I would like to visit Silla Temple to pray for my parents. โ

Early the next morning, Cui Geng, Wu Zhi and He Lou Aoqing came to the house of the so-called "Fourth Master Jin".
Yesterday, Cui Geng had inquired clearly, the true name of this Jin Siye is Jin Muhua, who is in his forties this year, has been trading between Silla and Datang for a long time, and has saved a huge family fortune, and built a family mansion in this Shiqiao Town, covering an area of more than ten acres, carved beams and paintings, and is extremely rich.
Cui Geng guessed that this Jin Muhua was probably a big smuggler, otherwise, why didn't he go to so many big ports, so he had to settle down in Shiqiao Town.
Shiqiao Town is not big, and the group of three quickly arrived at their destination.
He Lou Aoqing raised his eyes and said in a low voice: "Erlang, if you want to get on the Jin family's ship, it's not as easy as the guy said." โ
Cui Geng took a look, didn't he? But seeing that starting from the gate of the Jin family, a queue dozens of zhang long was discharged, and roughly calculated, there were hundreds of people.
Looking at the clothes of these people, they are not rich people. Then it can only be the same as Cui Geng's disguised identity, an ordinary person who takes risks in order to make a fortune.
At the end of the procession was a young man of five short statures, about eighteen or nineteen years old, shirtless, constantly flexing and stretching his arms, showing off his knotted muscles.
It's only April now, can it not be cold?
Cui Geng looked funny, stepped forward, and said, "Eh, this little brother, what are you doing here?" โ
The young man glared, and said angrily, "Don't you see it? I'm trying to make you people retreat. โ
"Knowing the difficulty and retreating? What do you mean? โ
"You're new here, aren't you?" The young man stiffened his neck and said, "Today, Fourth Master Jin is going to take the loose agreement this time." There are only eight places in total, and now that so many people are here, they must be picky. I'm doing this to make you impossible to choose, get out of here as soon as possible. โ
"Oh? Is it? Look at what you mean, this Jin Siye is a person who likes strength? โ
"That's nature. Do you know why so many people begged Jin Siye to take care of him this time? First, the war is about to start, and the two countries of Datang and Silla are not connected by land and water, and the usual profitable transactions have become ten. I don't know how many new hands plan to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. The second is that there are more and more people who do business without capital on this waterway. The boat is not safe, and everyone wants to beg Jin Siye to take care of it. You see, how strong my bones are. I can help Jin Siye kill the thief, who does he choose if he chooses? โ
Flutter~~
Wu Zhi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The young man said, "What are you laughing at?" You didn't have a chance to board the ship, why are you still laughing? โ
"Me...... It's laughing at you for being stupid! Who told you that Jin Siye needed someone to help kill the thief? Wu Zhi pointed forward and said, "Could it be that you are smart in the world?" You see, what are other people dressed in? What kind of dress do you have? โ
"I ......"
The young man was just not very intelligent, but he was not a fool.
After Wu Zhiyi mentioned it, he also understood. How could it be so coincidental, except for himself, everyone at the scene wore a Wensheng boy's shirt. Even some people, with their faces full of flesh and thick calluses on their hands, try to pretend to be literati.
"Rub! Am I being deceived? โ
"You take that 'don't' to go. Wu Zhi said: "You have been deceived, hurry up, while the Jin family has not yet come out, find a Wensheng boy outfit to change into." Tell you, even if you want to compare today, you must be better than Wencai, and your tendons and flesh are not good. โ
"Huh? Biwencai? That's it! That's it! โ
The young man's face changed suddenly, and then he cried bitterly, saying, "This time it's over!" Mother, I'm sorry for you, child......"
The more he cried, the more sad he became, and he raised his fist and smashed it heavily on a large bluestone next to him.
Bang Bang Bang!
After a dozen punches, the fists were already dripping with blood. This is normal, how can flesh and blood compare to the hardness of stone?
However, at the same time, the big bluestone, which was as smooth as water, was also smashed into several big pits by this young man.
That's not normal.
"Oh, that's a lot of strength!"
Now, Cui Geng began to look impressed at this young man, and said, "Don't worry, this little brother, tell me, why is it over if you can't get on the ship of Fourth Master Jin?" Is that all you can do...... Are you still afraid of being bullied? โ
