Chapter 16: Chikin
The supreme leader of the Longjiang Society is called the big leader, and there are many leaders under him, who are responsible for various specific affairs, this time the leader in charge of this fleet is surnamed Fang, about forty years old, compared to Lu Boss and others, he is whiter, his face is square and kind, and he is dressed in the silk and satin clothes that businessmen often wear, if it weren't for the faint chill on his body, and the cold and icy nature of this person's actual combat with his own eyes, Xiao Tianlei would have thought that he was an ordinary businessman.
"Shaoxia, what kind of school is the teacher?" Fang Leader asked politely, this is also a common practice, in the rivers and lakes, you must first find out the background of the other party's origin.
"No, I practiced blindly." Xiao Tianlei told the truth, but it is estimated that the other party will not believe it. Xiao Tianlei didn't care whether the leader believed it or not, and ate the pastries and tea prepared by the other party unceremoniously.
"Uh......" Leader Fang naturally didn't believe it, what kind of swordsmanship could be practiced by blind practice? When Xiao Tianlei didn't want to say it, he didn't ask, but he just saw that he was ruthless, and guessed that it was definitely not a serious way, so he asked again: "Shaoxia, go to Yazhou to do business?" ”
"Hmm."
"I don't know what kind of business it is? How can I help? ”
"Just go and see, and we'll talk about it when the time comes. But luck is not bad, I made a boat so quickly, which is considered a good start. ”
Leader Fang was really a little speechless, could he say, "I wish Shaoxia a prosperous business?" "Isn't that encouraging Xiao Tianlei to do pirates and the like? It's just that the young man in front of him regards robbery as a business, and he is really not that kind of decent person, Fang Leader looked at Xiao Tianlei, seeing that he was young and very handsome, which made people like it, but his face was still a little childish, and he thought, should I save the young man in front of him?
"By the way, Leader Fang, do you know where the sea market is?" Xiao Tianlei suddenly asked.
At the Lingzhou wharf, Xiao Tianlei asked, when merchant ships enter the port to do business, they must go through some procedures and collect some taxes, not to collect money, but to extract real goods, and now the imperial court has also added tribute and other names, and the officials who collect taxes will also ask for benefits, some background forces are okay, there are no background forces, waiting for bankruptcy. However, in addition to the ports on track, there are also smuggling ports - the sea market, which is said to be a number of bazaars located on the island, where smugglers gather and sell some prohibited goods, and pirates also sell stolen goods in the sea market.
The guild will not handle this kind of business, at least not on the surface, without background and identity, if you ask directly, you can only touch a nose.
Originally, Xiao Tianlei was still struggling to find a way to Haishi, but now that he has the opportunity, of course he has to ask clearly.
"I want to go to Haishi...... This has to ask the Yinghai Gang, they should be clear. ”
"Oh?"
Seeing that Xiao Tianlei was puzzled, Fang Tou said that he really didn't understand anything when he first entered the rivers and lakes, so he patiently popularized science with Xiao Tianlei.
Only then did Xiao Tianlei know that the Yinghai Gang occupied several islands in Yinghai and specialized in the weapons business, not to mention ordinary weapons, mainly because the Yinghai Gang had several craftsmen and had a secret recipe for smelting strange gold, which could create some high-grade weapons. A high-grade weapon can multiply the combat power of a martial artist, and if a martial artist doesn't want a good weapon, the Yinghai Gang has made a lot of profits, and has a good relationship with many gangs.
Today, the pirates of Hailong Island are chasing the big ships of the Yinghai Gang, which is the idea of Hailong Island to fight the Yinghai Gang, and the pirates of Hailong Island want to capture the wife and children of the Yinghai Gang leader, so as to threaten the Yinghai Gang leader.
Xiao Tianlei only listened to it as a story, those that had nothing to do with him, but just happened to meet him, and he didn't have the heart to repay the favor, it was an unexpected joy to get the news about the sea market from the Yinghai Gang, and it saved a lot of twists and turns.
"Xiao Shaoxia, although those prohibited transactions come quickly, but the risk is also big, a little bit is not good, it is empty of people and money, I see that you are young, don't take the crooked road, if you don't dislike it, you can go to my Longjiang will settle down, with Shaoxia's martial arts, others dare not say, a guest is absolutely no problem." Leader Fang persuaded and invited Xiao Tianlei to join the Longjiang Society.
Keqing, a mode for some gangs and forces to recruit talents, just like the doormen recruited by some powerful people, a martial artist like Xiao Tianlei, when he became a guest, he was actually a senior thug, usually idle, and he could have a good income, but he had to work hard at the critical moment.
As long as you practice a good martial arts, as long as you are willing to work hard, money and beauties are rolling in, just desperately, the most likely thing is to lose your life, people only have one life, can they withstand a few fights? Even if Xiao Tianlei opened the hero template, he would not fight hard if he didn't reach the critical moment.
Besides, being able to be his own boss, Xiao Tianlei will definitely not work for others, even if the process is difficult, Xiao Tianlei also feels comfortable, so he rejected Leader Fang's proposal without thinking too much, shook his head and said: "I have good intentions, I prefer to do business by myself." ”
Leader Fang was a little regretful, but he didn't force it, he just said: "If Shaoxia figures it out in the future, you can come to my Longjiang Club at any time, with this token, my brothers from the Longjiang Club can also help when they see it." Saying that, he gave Xiao Tianlei a silver medal, and Xiao Tianlei didn't refuse, he would mix on the water in the future, and maybe it would be useful one day.
Xiao Tianlei planned to visit Mrs. Qiu and ask about the Haishi, but without waiting for Xiao Tianlei to come to the door, Mrs. Qiu came to thank her in person, and the little fish also ran to ask for candy, Xiao Tianlei took the opportunity to say that he wanted to go to the Haishi, and Mrs. Qiu said that she could let people take them there, however, the Haishi is not available every day, only at a specific time every month, and the location is not fixed, so she first has to dock at Ninghai, the port city of Yazhou.
When the fleet arrived in Ninghai, the fleet almost doubled, and some ships of the Yinghai Gang were added to the fleet, it was Li Haichao, the leader of the Yinghai Gang, who came to pick up his wife and children, Xiao Tianlei and Li Haichao met, the other party said some words of thanks, the other party asked Xiao Tianlei what he wanted, Xiao Tianlei still said that he wanted to go to the sea market to see, so Li Haichao sent his wife and children back to Yinghai, and specially let Wu Tiexiong, a hall master of the Yinghai Gang, stay, just wait for the time to come, you can take Xiao Tianlei and others to the sea market, and it will not take a few days, In the past few days of waiting, Xiao Tianlei and the others have all wandered around Ninghai City.
Compared with the port of Ninghai, the wharf of Lingzhou City is definitely insignificant, and it is not at the same level at all. The scale is only one aspect, and the other difference is that there are many merchants from overseas in Ninghai, transporting some overseas treasures. So in Ninghai City, from time to time, you can see some overseas merchants, wearing some strange costumes and speaking various languages.
Regarding the method of selling cigarettes, Xiao Tianlei's basic idea is that he pretends to be an overseas businessman to sell cigarettes, but in order to ensure that there is no leakage, he must carefully investigate. It is not possible to learn the language, behavior and behavior of these overseas businessmen in a short period of time, and impersonate them, so Xiao Tianlei plans to imitate the foreigners in his previous life and create a fictional overseas country.
Yazhou, where Ninghai is located, is an important place of wealth in the south of Daxia, prosperous business, and also a place where the humanities of the south of Daxia gather, the famous Egret Academy and Zhongding Academy are located here, and the two major academies will hold literary meetings every year to attract literati from all over the world to participate in the conference, and young literati all want to show their talents and learn in the literary meeting.
On the one hand, Yazhou Wen is prosperous, and on the other hand, the martial arts are not bad, the Sword Lake Martial Arts Association is also famous, which martial artist does not want to show his face at the Sword Lake Martial Arts Meeting, compete for a high and low, the bonus of the martial arts will be secondary, as long as he is famous, he will always get some nobles to take a fancy to him, and he will soar from then on.
Xiao Tianlei was not very interested in these, but Wu Tiexiong invited them to taste some of the famous foods in Yazhou, such as Yazhou Sanxian, which tasted really good, as for going to the Qinglou brothel to have fun, then thank you for not being sensitive.
Xiao Tianlei wandered around the city every day, purchased some cloth or something, and contacted Xiao Tianfu through the private chat system to ask what Wild Boar Ridge needed to facilitate procurement.
After talking about business this day, Xiao Tianfu suddenly became a little stumbling: "Brother, there is one thing in Russia...... That ......"
"What's the matter?" Xiao Tianlei thought that something was wrong with Wild Boar Ridge, and hurriedly asked.
"That's ......"
After listening to Xiao Tianfu's narration, Xiao Tianlei felt that the plot was so familiar, anyway, it was probably a drama like a hero saving beauty, Xiao Tianfu saved a girl who threw herself into the water, and sent the girl home to know, because an old man wanted to marry the girl as a concubine, and the girl couldn't think of it before throwing it into the water, so Xiao Tianfu asked Xiao Tianlei what to do?
How did his brother become so chivalrous? Xiao Tianlei was a little strange at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he roughly understood: "You like that girl?" ”
"Uh...... Cuilian was very nice......"
"That's what you like?"
"Hmm!"
Xiao Tianfu likes it, of course Xiao Tianlei has to give him ideas, in fact, it can't be simpler, and immediately said: "What's the nonsense, since you like it, grab it, that old man, it's useless!" "Over the years, Xiao Tianlei has seen and heard a lot of similar things, and he has long been unaccustomed to those local tyrants and bullies, and with the martial arts of Xiao Tianfu and other brothers, it should be no problem to deal with these guys.
"Great!" After Xiao Tianlei's words, Xiao Tianfu went happily, Xiao Tianlei just told him to be careful, don't show his feet, anyway, Lingzhou is a little messy, and killing a few people with his face covered is not a matter at all.
The next day, Xiao Tianfu came with the news that the old man had been abolished, his limbs were broken, and the old guy's son had also been cleaned up, and then he simply copied the family, got a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, burned the title deed and everything, and distributed the grain to the surrounding people.
Originally, Xiao Tianfu was still a little apprehensive, Xiao Tianlei immediately gave a thumbs up, this is called drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle, why are these local tyrants so bad? In addition to a bit of force, the main thing is that there is money and can buy off the government, and without money, no matter how much the family tosses, they can't jump.
What Xiao Tianlei was more concerned about was that he found that his system gold coins had also increased a little, he hadn't fought in the past few days, could it be that the gold coins that Xiao Tianlei fought were also counted on his head? If that's the case, that is, the more templates you give to your hero, the more gold you get? If it is true, this is excellent news, otherwise, you can only earn gold coins by yourself, and if you want to buy more than a hundred heroes, how many battles will you have to go through? What year and month will we have to wait?!
After getting the good news, Xiao Tianlei was in a happy mood, and after waiting for three or four days, Wu Tiexiong sent someone to inform him that he could leave for Haishi.
The location of the sea market is actually not far from Ninghai, and it is only a more than a day of sailing, but the location is secret, and the sea market lasts once a month, each time for a few days.
Guided by Wu Tiexiong's ship, they arrived at an island, and there was nothing to see from the front, but when they went around the back of the island, they could see a sea city composed of sea boats, many sea boats lined up, connected to each other by wooden planks.
Xiao Tianlei walked around with great interest, and saw all kinds of commodities on the deck, in addition to ordinary commodities, mainly some prohibited commodities, such as strange gold and some treasures, weapons, in addition to some overseas strange things, some strange animals and plants, many people came and went between the ships, or stopped to watch the goods, or bargained.
Xiao Tianlei finally stopped on the deck where he sold strange gold, there were many kinds of strange gold here, and even some of the rarer strange gold was also available, such as cold iron, dark iron, red copper, purple gold, yao gold, and pure gold...... There are so many odd gold, Xiao Tianlei was a little dazzled, and watched for a long time, in fact, he was experimenting, trying what kind of equipment these odd gold could synthesize, for this reason, he kept switching hero templates, opening the equipment purchase page, comparing the differences, and soon there were some important discoveries.
When Xiao Tianlei used the Ice Archer, many pieces of equipment could be purchased on the equipment purchase page, such as the Sword of the Storm, the Infinity Blade, the Last Whisper, and the Startik Electric Blade...... Wait, in the game, these equipment can heroes have higher attack power, can break armor, like the Startik electric blade can be charged, releasing a thunderbolt-like attack effect, obviously, a certain kind of Qijin here can make the synthesized equipment have a similar effect, making the equipment sharper, the transmission of the gang qi is smoother, the sword qi generated is more condensed, and so on.
Xiao Tianlei changed to the commonly used Infinite Sword Master, and the equipment icons lit up are basically the same, other hero templates are not used much, and there are not many game coins, however, some early equipment can basically be purchased.
There is a huge treasure trove in front of him, Xiao Tianlei really wants to move back and buy all the equipment, in that case, his strength will inevitably increase a lot, but this is the sea market, in broad daylight, in full view of everyone, in addition, he can't afford to buy so much strange gold, Qi Jin calls it gold, even the most ordinary price is equivalent to gold, like those purple gold, pure gold, Yao gold is ten times, a hundred times that of gold.
Xiao Tianlei had some money in his hand, and he had exchanged it for a ticket in the guild, and the money for buying a sea boat this time was also saved, which was still not much, in addition, he had to leave some money to maintain the operation and development of Wild Boar Ridge, at most buy a few small pieces.
So, after some bargaining, Xiao Tianlei bought a few pieces of cold iron, dark iron, and red copper. After that, Xiao Tianlei walked around the merchant ships of some overseas businessmen, Xiao Tianlei really found some good things, some plants that he felt useful, and seeds, Xiao Tianlei bought some, such as some plants that looked like chili peppers, and felt that he was more happy than buying Qijin, and he took them back to plant, maybe he could eat some heavy dishes.
After shopping in the market, Xiao Tianlei was ready to return to Lingzhou directly, and before leaving, Wu Tiexiong sent a box, saying that it was a gift prepared by Li Haichao, in order to thank Xiao Tianlei for saving Mrs. Qiu Yunyun.
Xiao Tianlei was not pretentious, he accepted the box, the box was not big, but it was very heavy, and when he opened it, a small box was full of strange gold, which was more valuable than a box of gold, and the Yinghai Gang was really rich and very intimate.
Now you might be able to buy a few more pieces of equipment! Xiao Tianlei was a little looking forward to it, just waiting to find time to synthesize equipment.
This trip to Yazhou was really smooth, and I gained a lot, which can be described as a full return.
Immediately anchored and returned to Lingzhou, Xiao Tianlei really felt a little high-spirited, and next time he came to Yazhou, he would definitely make a fortune!
More than ten days later, looking at the pirate ship that was gradually moving away, Xiao Tianlei, Zheng Biao, Jiang Kui, and Ma Hu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, opened their mouths, couldn't say a word, and then collapsed on the deck together. In the past ten days, they have not had a good night's sleep, have eaten a meal peacefully, encountered several waves of pirates, fortunately the wind was favorable, the ship did not carry any goods, and they ran fast, even so, they were chased by a group of pirates along the way like a lost dog, Xiao Tianlei was drowsy, and secretly ruthless in his heart: "Next time, these bastards must be good-looking!" ”
