That night, Li Zhengchen, the Taishou of Yangzhou, Mei Siyou, president of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, and Niu Dabao, the national teacher, gathered together to hold a send-off banquet for colleagues who were about to go to sea. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the time of parting, everyone took this meal as a severed meal, and it was also the first time that the owner of a high-end restaurant saw what a disc action was.

The next day, the sky was still a little gray, the hawker appeared on the dock with everyone, the pier was full of crying, the hawker listened to the eyes also moistened, after all, limited to the conditions, this time to go to sea, that is to earn his life, even if there is his own black technology brought from modern times, but who can guarantee foolproof?

The crew had already been busy on board, and the iron-hulled boats brought by the hawkers were dispatched this time with five 3,000-ton boats, three 750-horsepower ocean-going fishing boats, three 1,000-ton oil barges, and sixty or seventy wooden boats of various types organized by the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, and the fleet was nearly 100 smaller.

Looking at the wooden boats that had already traveled far on the river, the hawker held the hands of the Daomen trio tightly, "I confirm one last time, if you don't want to go, I won't force it"

Li Chunfeng took his hand out of the hawker's hand and took out a letter from his arms, "Uncle Shi, you help me keep this letter, if the fleet comes back next year and I don't come back, hand her over to Yanyan, and you can persuade her when the time comes, find a good person and marry, as for my son, Uncle Shi has the heart, recognize a godgrandson, and train him to become a talent"

The vendor fluttered his head and said, "I won't help, I want you to hand it over to her personally"

Li Chunfeng stuffed the letter into the hawker's hand, "Uncle Shi, don't be willful, thank you for taking care of you for so many years, knowing you, Chunfeng is the greatest luck in this life, thank you Uncle Shi"

"Hey, you kid, forget it, take care"

"Goodbye" Li Chunfeng turned around and got on the boat, Lin Weiqin walked over, and the hawker looked at him, "What, do you have anything to explain?" ”

Lin Weiqin pulled out a jade pendant from his neck, swiped it in half with both hands, and handed half of it to the hawker, "National teacher, Weiqin has always had a good match, but I have never dared to speak, leave half a jade jué today, ask the national teacher to hand it over to the beauty, and tell her that if I come back next year, I will definitely come to the door to propose marriage, if I can't come back, please keep this half of the jade, so that I can have a guide when I return to my soul"

The peddler looked at the fluttering half of the jade jue in his hand, but he felt that it weighed a thousand catties, and held the half jade jue tightly with his hand, "Okay, I promise, but you have to tell me who that girl is and where she lives, right?" ”

"There is a hunter at the foot of the mountain of Xuanqing Palace, he has a daughter named Ah Xiang, the national teacher will know when he asks when he arrives at the place, and he will see the national teacher again" After speaking, he also left.

Then it was Sun Simiao, Sun Simiao came over and patted the peddler on the shoulder, "Senior brother, I'm used to being alone, I have nothing to worry about, if I can't come back, you can just transfer the money that I should have been issued in the year I went to sea to my sister, by the way, according to what you said, if I die, there should be a pension, right, and it will be handed over to my sister's family."

"Okay, take care, senior brother"

"Take care, I will give you a piece of advice at the end, young people are taboo, junior brother, it is the only way to live a long life if you want to recuperate in the future."

"I... Okay, senior brother, you can also help me find some good medicine for my natural body."

"No problem"

Then after Sun Simiao got on the boat, the big boat carrying the Daomen people sounded the whistle, drove out of the dock, and sailed to the known and unknown distance.

After all, the ancients knew that businessmen valued profits over separation, and they could have a few days at home all year round, so everyone was used to it, and they were still giggling and laughing when they got on the boat!

After the merchants' ships also left, it was Liao San, who was in the formation, maybe he drank a little too much yesterday, and the two little yellow men helped Liao San to come to the peddler, "National teacher, our family is leaving, you can go back and let the gods bless us."

"Father-in-law Liao rest assured, it's indispensable"

"Then our family will thank the national teacher, but our family doesn't know what the future holds, and we are worried, I don't know if the national teacher can help?"

"Father-in-law Liao, please speak, you also know that in Datang there is nothing that I can't do."

"The national teacher said that he was domineering, to put it aside, our family may still hate it, but today our family likes the national teacher to say this, our family secretly has a pair of food in the palace Gong E, the name is Xianglan, and in her brother we also have a child, but this matter has not been told to outsiders, I am afraid of any accidents, now I tell the national teacher, I hope the national teacher will do a favor, can find a way to get Xianglan out of the palace, I left some money for her, let her raise my son, and there will be a person to help me cry filial piety in the future"

As soon as he heard what Liao San arranged, the hawker thought a little more highly of this eunuch, "Father-in-law Liao has 10,000 hearts, and when you come back, I promise that your family of three will be reunited."

"Hehe, then thank you to the national teacher, it's still comfortable to chat with the national teacher, unlike other people, who are clearly complimented and scolded us for being crippled behind our backs, or the national teacher, you are down, okay, please leave this matter to the national teacher, let's go" Liao San said that the peddler was embarrassed, not that he had different concepts from others, but that he had different knowledge, not to mention the eunuchs who didn't have JJ, and the shemales with JJ had seen a lot, so they were used to treating everyone equally!

After saying that, Liao San didn't leave a token, turned around and got on the boat, and sent Liao San away, there was no one worthy of the hawker to see him off in person, looking at the fleet stretching for more than 100 miles, floating on the river, the hawker suddenly had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, his nose was sour, for his own selfishness, let these people risk death to go to sea, is it really right?

Yangzhou Taishou Li Zhengchen walked to the vendor and handed him a handkerchief, "National teacher, wipe it, don't worry, God will bless them, won't you?" ”

The hawker wiped away his tears and squeezed out a smile, "It's me, okay, okay, let's go back, the wind is strong by the river" A group of people returned to the Taishou Mansion again, and the guests and hosts sat down, and someone served tea "The national teacher drank hot water to warm up"

"Too Guarded, Please"

Pretending to take a sip of tea, Li Zhengchen lit a cigarette for the vendor, "I heard that this time Mr. Liao came with the new champion of the autumn test, and the list of eyes to explore the flowers, but Father-in-law Liao didn't tell me how it was arranged, does the national teacher know?" ”

Damn, the hawker just remembered that he was only busy with the sea in the past few days, and forgot about the establishment of the customs, and the goods of those merchants who went to sea this time were not taxed, and it seemed that they had lost a little, forget it, let them go, and the pigs had to be fattened first, and then they would say no, and when they came back, they were collecting taxes!

"I forgot not to mention Taishou, those people and some Taoist priests were approved by His Majesty to set up a customs office, where are they, send them over to meet"

"Wait a minute, the national teacher, I arranged them at the post station, and I will call someone to go"

After waiting for half an hour, the new champion and the people Zishan picked for the hawker all came to the Taishou Mansion, and the new champion Yang Yibo and a six-grade Taoist priest from the Daomen visited Li Zhengchen and the hawker together.

The vendor waved his hand, "You don't have to be polite, you must know the purpose of coming, how are you resting?" “

Yang Yibo: "The time when the officials came told us that it was the formation of customs, and everything was subject to you, as for rest, hehe, we have already rested"

"That's good, Master Li, I'll take my leave first, you come with me" The hawker took the group to the dock again, picked an ocean-going fishing boat, "Everyone follow me on board, and I'll take you to see where you will work in the future"

"To be continued" (To be continued.) )
