"The general also said that he originally wanted to buy grain in Jining Prefecture, but the price was too expensive, and the amount was insufficient, after all, it was after the catastrophe, and there was no choice but to come here." Geng Mancang added on the ground.

It seems that it is a last resort to come to Nanzhili's side to raise food and grass, and everyone has said a word, saying their own analysis and suspicions, and the final judgment is still to be made by Zhao Jin.

"Sell it to them." Zhao Jin said categorically.

Everyone in the room was stunned, and Geng Mancang below hurriedly agreed, and Ruhui advised: "Pour over the old grain everywhere, and put the new grain into the warehouse." ”

"Big brother, the Smelling Fragrance Sect is going to cause a big mess." Wang Zhaojing reminded in a deep voice.

"Sell it to them." Zhao Jin didn't explain, just repeated, Wang Zhaojing shook his head, stopped talking, and Geng Mancang agreed.

When Geng Mancang, who hurriedly went back to do the business, said goodbye and left, there was some silence in the room, and Zhao Jin said: "Maybe Shandong knows that we know, but they also know that after we know, they will also sell grain to them." ”

This tongue twister-like words did not stump the other people in the room, but everyone stopped talking, and the atmosphere became solemn, but Zhao Jin smiled and said playfully: "This Xu Hongru is very confident."

Zhao Jin's words made Wang Zhaojing and Ruhui ponder again, but Zhao Jin did not continue to play the edge, patted the armrest of the seat and said: "Send a message to Da Huang, let him lead the team back now, and when he comes back, I will lead the team to go to the stone and ice peak once." ”

Wang Zhaojing hurriedly agreed, in the past, Zhao Jin took turns in Xuzhou and Qingjiangpu, but after the river was broken last year, he began to stay in Xuzhou until now.

The people over there went to arrange it, but Zhao Jin said something incompatible: "I don't know what happened to the Housheng side?" ”

Whether judging from the relationship between Xu Housheng and Zhao Jin, or from the errand of Xu Housheng's trip, the Yu family must attach great importance to this person.

For Xu Housheng's itinerary from north to south, Yu Zhiyuan, the second son of Yu, personally arranged it, and he didn't dare to make any mistakes, and the entire Yu family also knew the importance of this, and no one dared to slack off.

Originally, Xu Housheng went south along the waterway, entered the Yangtze River and then arrived at Songjiang Mansion, and then under the arrangement of the Yu family, he directly took a sea boat and continued south to Macao.

The people of the sea know that there are many places where the Fan people live, but there is only one Macau that belongs to the land of the Ming Dynasty, and other places such as Manila and Batavia are all places outside the country, and the Fan people are too powerful, and those places, in case there is a trouble, it is difficult to immediately do the joints of the hands and feet.

Yu Zhiyuan didn't dare to let this Xu Housheng take any risks, so he only arranged for this Xu Housheng to go to Macau, although there were governors and troops over there, but it was also under the jurisdiction of Xiangshan County, Guangzhou Prefecture, Guangdong, and the Ming officials could also manage it, which was an extra layer of insurance after all.

If Xu Housheng arrived in Songjiang Mansion and went out immediately, he would be able to arrive in Macao in the first month, and he could still spend the Yuan Festival in Macao, but after Xu Housheng came to Songjiang Mansion, he was left behind and entertained as a guest of honor, and he did not get on the ship until the end of the first month.

If you go south along the coastline, you don't have to worry about the wind and waves, and if you really encounter anything, you can often hide in the harbor and tidal flats along the coast, and the real risk is piracy.

In the past, the ships of the Yu family went south to transport goods, most of them were safe and sound, and several major forces on the Fujian and Guangdong seas also knew that the Yu family could continuously supply salt to Fujian, and there were also good ports in the north, which could receive and distribute goods.

The number of ways to recognize the flag is not only 6, when Kongjiazhuang Kong Laohu relied on this recognition of the flag to sit on the ground to collect money, born very, the sea since Jiajing when the giant Kou Wang straightened, began to have the practice of the water flag, the civilian ship merchant ship in the hands of the sea owner to buy the flag, every year, pay hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year, in exchange for peace at sea, hang the relevant flag, the pirates who recognize the flag will not touch you.

But this method is not insurance, the sea forces are mixed, this big one buys, several others don't recognize, the big one buys, the small one doesn't recognize, if it's a sea route monopolized by one family, it's okay, if a few fight, then you really can't afford to buy this flag, you can only take a risk.

You can go on an adventure at another time, but not at this time, Yu Zhiyuan didn't dare to make the slightest mistake this time, so he simply sent a boat to the south first, and bought all the flags of each family, and this item went down for thousands of taels of silver, in addition to this, Yu Zhiyuan also spent five thousand taels to invite a guarantor, this guarantor is considered a flag in another sense, this person will follow the boat all the way, if something happens to the person on the boat, he will take his life to confess, and then his place of origin will avenge him.

The person invited this time is surnamed Li, his surname is Zheng, and later he worshiped a certain tycoon as a righteous son with the surname Li, in his forties, his left arm has been crippled, and it is inconvenient to control the sail or fight, so he can only do the business of this guarantor, his face is very easy to use in Fujian, Guangdong and Nanyang, and his family is familiar with it, and several peers of the Li family and several juniors of the Zheng family are very good, and they have a well-known name on the sea, and no one dares to provoke them at will.

With so many flags hanging on the ship, and such a number one person as a guarantee, the Yu family chose the most reliable shipwrights and sailors, and the safety was finally guaranteed.

Yu Zhiyuan and Xu Housheng are very close, about the same age, and then both of them are from wealthy businessmen, they have more common language, and they can talk about it very well, Yu Zhiyuan does not treat Xu Housheng as an outsider, and he does not hide his expenses, when he heard that he would spend 10,000 taels of silver before he got on the ship, Xu Housheng was suddenly startled and very guilty.

However, Yu Zhiyuan's answer made Xu Housheng even more surprised: "Brother Xian doesn't have to worry about anything, I bought so many flags, run a few more times this year, as long as I am lucky, I will earn it back, and it is not impossible to double." ”

In the past, the Xu family operated coal and iron, and they already felt that the profits were not low, but they never thought that Haimao would have such huge profits, which really shocked Xu Housheng.

This time the Yu family's ship except for the cargo that replaced the ballast stone, the others were not brought, one is that the draft is not deep, and the heroes from all walks of life know that there is no oil and water in it, and the second is to let Xu Housheng live as comfortably as possible at sea, if it is a normal boat, the sailors are either sleeping on the deck, or lying in the cargo, and the things that eat and drink at sea are even worse, how can Xu Housheng and other rich people stand it.

Because of the long waiting time in Songjiang Mansion, Zhao Jin specially replaced Xu Housheng with an escort, and Xu Housheng was followed on the ship, it was Nie Hei and five elite internal guards, the Yu family also had their own arrangements, and the Yu family also had six people to follow, one of whom was named Yu Ou, but he was a pirate who was taken in by the Yu family, with strong martial arts and rich experience, enough to deal with many things at sea.

The preparations are all ready, but this sea itinerary still makes Xu Housheng and Nie Hei and others suffer, when the weather is fine, it is naturally good, the wind and waves are calm, the sea and the blue sky, and it is also enjoyable on the boat, but as soon as there is wind and waves, the ship will be bumpy and shake, Xu Housheng and Nie Hei They vomited in the dark, miserable, and when they were about to pass through Fujian, they could barely adapt to it.

When he entered the port in Macau, Xu Housheng and Yiyu on the boat were also familiar with each other, and everyone didn't feel that this time was hard, but felt relaxed.

"I didn't encounter strong winds and waves, and I didn't encounter a knife and jump ship, this is really smooth sailing, and it is also the good luck of Tou Xu Gongzi." Yu Ou's words made Xu Housheng know more about life at sea.

The ship anchored in the port of Macao, unloaded the goods it carried, all of which were the best Jiangnan specialties, and then bought about the same amount of goods and put them in the cabin, and began to close the hatch, leaving only a few people on the ship to guard, and the Li family's guarantor had to follow the ship back, so he followed Xu Housheng and them to get off the ship together.

This guarantor from the Li family only said that his name was Li Laohai, and it should not be his real name, but everyone can also judge the weight of this guarantor, and that Yu Ou is quite unruly! head, but in front of this Li Laohai, he is very respectful, and he is completely the style of the juniors.

"Uncle be careful, although Li Laohai said that he didn't speak, he kept staring at his uncle's side, guessing that he was guessing the origin of his uncle."

The guards sent by the Yu family naturally knew Xu Housheng's identity, and they also knew who the Yu family was relying on now, and they didn't dare to slack off, and the same was true for Nie Hei.

Li Laohai is a discerning person, although the Yu family is not a strong man on the sea now, but its reputation is not small, it has its own port near the canal hub, and can export a large amount of salt to Fujian, and has a large fleet, such a force, all sea owners must give face.

Such a Yu family, for such an introverted young man, actually laid out such a big scene, the cost of recognizing the flag and protecting the person was more than 10,000 taels of silver, and the guards carried by this young man were not idle people, not only had they seen blood, but it was really rare in the rivers and lakes, Li Laohai even felt that the other party was the descendants of some noble and high-ranking officials, and those guards were inferior officials.

But then this judgment was rejected, the descendants of the rich and noble will not be so simple, the people who followed Xu Housheng are all guards, and there is not even a personal attendant, this Xu Housheng clumsily cleans himself up every day, and the food and use are the same as the people on the whole ship, and it can be seen that he is not used to it.

This kind of mismatch in judgment makes this Li Laohai a little curious, and this Xu Housheng is introverted and introverted, but he has never had any shelf, he likes to ask questions, and his attitude is polite, Li Laohai is used to telling him a few allusions to the sea.
