Chapter 184: What I Saw and Heard at Quanzhou Wharf

In the morning, a horse-drawn carriage galloped towards the Quanzhou wharf, and at this time, a ship happened to swim slowly towards the wharf from afar. Liu Sheng and the three of them got out of the carriage, looked at the dock where people came and went, and suddenly thought of the scene they saw on the Yangtze River after Jia's father was imprisoned and went to Jiangling Mansion to be frustrated: "Ah Fu, look at the current scene, how similar it is to what we saw in Jiangling Mansion at the beginning."

"At that time, it was a boat coming, and thousands of people followed. Now here, there are thousands of sails. How is it possible, it's the same". When Jia Fu heard Liu Sheng's question, he also remembered the original scene. If he hadn't met Sima Zhao that day, why would he have come to these things now. I'm afraid that at this time, I am still farming in the village, and I can't say that it is not necessarily.

Qingyuan looked at the two of them with some confusion, not understanding what they meant. Liu Sheng saw this. hurriedly told Jia's father about the prison and what happened in Jiangling Mansion one by one.

"I didn't expect Mr. and Ah Fu to suffer so much at the beginning." After hearing this, Qingyuan couldn't help but sigh. Who would have thought that the poor people who were beaten by their families and looked down on by the cell bosses have now achieved so much success.

Liu Sheng shook his head, thinking back at this time, he only felt. Not only was it not bitter at the beginning, but it was a little sweet: "If it weren't for the bitterness at the beginning, Jia Fu and I wouldn't have met Sima Zhao." It will not enter the disaster camp, and what will happen after that will not happen."

"If you didn't go to Luoyang, how could you get today's achievements." Jia Fu nodded, but suddenly thought that Zhou Bo and Mingyi said: "Brother Sheng, you go to Luoyang." It's really a bull's nose, and Zhou Fuzi's suggestion".

When Liu Sheng heard this question, his thoughts couldn't help but drift back to the scene when he left the village: "I asked them at the beginning, under the condition that they were not officials. How can we do our part for the world? Brother Zhou told me that he could borrow strength, so I came to Luoyang."

"Borrowing? Your Majesty, or Uncle Xu. Or the head of the Ming Yi Dao, and the master of Zhou". When Jia Fu heard the two sons who borrowed his strength, he calculated in his heart. Carefully calculated, it seems that whether it is the DPRK or the people, they can borrow a lot of strength. From the emperor and the prime minister, down to the two gates of Buddhism and Taoism, and even the Spring and Autumn Villa where Master Zhou is located. But how many are really your own? It's just the Sparrow Chamber of Commerce and the Good Hall.

Liu Sheng looked at Jia Fu's inquiry and nodded suspiciously: "What you say is something we can borrow."

"Brother Sheng, have you thought about it, these are all external forces. How much power does it really belong to us? If one day we have a dispute with them. When the time comes, how much will these forces be mobilized?" Jia Fu thought of the scene of the dispute with Sima Zhao yesterday, and couldn't help but shake his head. If one day, he fails his cousin Kexin, what can he do against him with his own strength alone.

When Qingyuan heard Jia Fu's words, he also agreed a little, after all, he was strong and more reliable than external forces: "Ah Fu's words, it's not unreasonable." After all, external forces are external forces, and they are still not as strong as themselves.

"Ah Fu is talking about the top, not the bottom. I told Jun'er that since ancient times, there have been two paths. One is from top to bottom, and the other is from bottom to top. As for our real strength, don't you Jia Fu understand?" Liu Sheng smiled and reflected in his heart, what is the so-called strength.

Jia Fu looked at Liu Sheng suspiciously, and asked tentatively: "But what strength can these two have, Shantang and Chamber of Commerce." It's like when we were in Zechuan County, Brother Sheng, if we didn't use Sima Zhao's official seal, would we be able to get out of the way."

"Maybe what you say is right, but I still want to give it a try, the bottom-up path." Liu Sheng thought of the scene in Zechuan County at the beginning, if it weren't for Sima Zhao, would he be able to have no fear? can be an official for this reason, and give up the path he has chosen, he is still a little unwilling.

Jia Fu knew Liu Sheng's character, and when he saw that he was saying this, he didn't force it: "Since Brother Sheng said so, it doesn't hurt to try." Maybe from the bottom up, it's really as good as you say."

"Sir is not as good as us, go and see where". Qing Yuan saw a conversation between the two, and felt that it was indeed a little inconvenient to interject. At this time, there happened to be a boat, slowly stopping on the shore. I can't help but suggest and take a look at it.

The two nodded and followed Qingyuan to the front. The ship was just at the end of docking, and countless sailors poured out of the boat. The sound of discussion is endless.

"The imperial court encouraged us to go to the sea and do business and buy real estate, which is really a good way to make money."

"It's not just a good way to make money, it's a road to heaven."

"Such a good way of money, why didn't we think of it in the first place."

"The sea is vast and unrecognizable, and pirates are gathering. Even if you can think of it, do you dare to try? “。

"The compass is indeed a blessing for us sailors. I don't think it will take a few years to make a few trips, and I will have no worries about food and clothing in this life."

"There is a lot of silver in the country, and we will go there in a while, so we must make a good profit."

"It would be wonderful if the court could get rid of pirates."

"Last year, the emperor decreed that the sea route should be opened, and I don't think those pirates have a good life."

When Liu Sheng and the others heard these words, they were slightly stunned. He hurriedly saluted and asked a sailor, "May I ask you the ships returning from the sea?"

"I'm really ashamed that I just returned from the Japanese country. The sea is rough and dangerous. It's been more than half a year, and I've only run one round trip." When the sailor saw Liu Sheng's clothes, he only thought that he was a scholar from Quanzhou Mansion, and hurriedly replied respectfully.

Jia Fu remembered the discussion in Fang Cai's ear, and his eyes lit up: "But the Wa Kingdom in the history books? Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, it has been the same country that has cut off contact with me in the Great Zhou. Now the two countries have been cut off for 200 years."

"The owner of this ship, whose ancestors had been to the Wa Kingdom, left a pair of charts. But the sea is vast, and I can't tell the direction, but fortunately, the imperial court ordered to encourage my Quanzhou Mansion to open the sea route and give a compass. Only then can we reach the country safely." The sailor said this, with a series of exclamations. If it weren't for the imperial court's encouragement to trade with the sea, I am afraid that I would still be the one who is destitute now.

Qingyuan heard the word "Wa Guo" and remembered a passage in the book: "It is said that Wa Guo is rich in silver mines. I don't know if that's true."

"Silver is cheap and things are expensive, and the things of my Middle Earth, as soon as they change hands, they can make a lot of money. It's a pity that the cabin has limited vacancies. Otherwise, I'm afraid of running back and forth. Yes, you don't have to worry about food and clothing for ten years." The sailor thought of the scene he saw in the Wa Kingdom, and a series of exclamations.

When the sailors next to him heard the discussion here, they couldn't help but come and talk about what they had seen and heard in the Wa Kingdom: "You may not know that there is a lot of chaos in the country, and there are wars everywhere."

"When we were trading with a prince of the Wa Kingdom, he wanted to seize the goods by force. Thanks to our cleverness, we were able to escape."

"It feels like a mess of what to call somewhere. A small place with a population of several thousand dares to be called a prince."

"You may not know it, but we once made a deal with the daimyo of the Wakoku. He actually asked me about Da Zhou, the army can be tens of thousands, and the population can be hundreds of thousands."

As soon as these words came out, the sailors burst into laughter, apparently thinking of the scene at that time. Jia Fu couldn't help but laughed: "My big Zhou is not only hundreds of thousands, but the frog at the bottom of the well is laughing and generous."

At this moment, I don't know who it was, I shouted. The sailors did not have time to leave, and rushed to the docks. Liu Sheng looked at the sky, and a round of the sun was hanging in the middle: "Qingyuan, Ah Fu, it seems that these sailors should be going to lunch." Why don't we find a restaurant and rest for dinner."

"Sir's words are reasonable, the world is big, it's not as big as eating." Qingyuan also looked at the sky when he heard this, and the hunger in his stomach gradually came at this time.

When Jia Fu heard the word "eat", he didn't say anything. Reincarnate directly and go to find a restaurant. Seeing this, the two hurriedly followed. (To be continued.) )
