Chapter 488: Adventure
Truth be told, most of what fruit merchants do is fruit-related things.
Chen Youyi nodded, and Boss Zhao asked her, "Where is Madam going to go?" I see most of the peppers on your boat, and some miscellaneous items. ”
Chen Youyi didn't want to go so far, so he said, "I, like you, docked at the first dock of Zhao Kingdom, and then unloaded the goods, and others found a way to go to the town and sell them." ”
Boss Zhao was not interested in Chen Youyi at first, after all, the two families had never cooperated, but they knew a lot about Wangjiang Tower and Wangjiang Wharf.
At the beginning, I just wanted to go together, and I didn't think much about other things, it was because of what happened yesterday that Boss Zhao took the initiative to talk to Chen Youyi enthusiastically.
After listening to Chen Youyi's words, Boss Zhao was even more curious, "Madame, this is the first time to go to Zhao Kingdom, right?" ”
Chen Youyi paused, he had been to Zhao Guo before, but the reason for taking care of him couldn't be explained, so he nodded, "Yes, it's the first time I went, although I also opened a dock, but I don't know how Zhao Guo's dock business is doing, and I hope that Boss Zhao will take care of you at that time." ”
"It's easy to dock and store your cargo." Boss Zhang said, his face was a little serious, "It's just that Zhao Guo and Chen Guo are fighting, if you want to store the goods there, in addition to being inspected by the merchants, Zhao Guo's army will also inspect them, you didn't put something on the ship that made them suspicious, right?" ”
Chen Youyi hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, these things are all goods." ”
"That shouldn't be much of a problem, there are a lot of officers and soldiers on the dock, I have people I know, as long as there is no big problem with the cargo on your ship, give them some silver when the time comes, and there will be no problem if you buy it out." Boss Zhao said.
At this moment, the fruit merchant also interjected and said, "Although Chen Guo and Zhao Guo are fighting, the business affairs have not been directly interrupted, the people of Zhao Guo are smarter, they have scavenged a lot of oil and water on these passing merchant ships, so they can't help it, but the merchant ships that go to Zhao State to do business have greatly reduced their profits." ”
Chen Youyi didn't come here entirely to do business, so she didn't care about profits, "This time I came mainly to take a look at the market here, if not, I'll talk about it later, and ask the two of you to help you when you get there, money is not a problem, just tell me who to find and how to do it." ”
Chen Youyi said so, Boss Zhao and the two of them did not refuse, and a few people chatted about some other things here, and then each went back to their own merchant ship.
There is also a rope tied between the boats, and they slowly move south along the river.
With the help of Boss Zhao and the fruit merchant, Chen Youyi's heart was also settled, but she was also mentally prepared, those things still depended on the situation.
The rest of the journey went very smoothly, and soon they reached the border of the Zhao State.
As soon as they arrived here, several merchant ships were stopped by a search military ship of Zhao State, and the small merchant ship docked on the shore at one time, which was not a wharf, but a temporary dock.
As soon as the ship stopped, a large number of officers and soldiers rushed onto the ship, Chen Youyi was also taken aback by this formation, and stood aside without speaking, fortunately, Wang Dahu was in front of her, and Boss Zhao also came over, so Chen Youyi's heart was a little more stable.
The officers and men came to the ship and turned everything on board into disarray, looking through almost everything, and took some valuable things along the way.
Fortunately, Chen Youyi put the cash silver in a package and hugged it tightly in his arms, otherwise they would have taken it away.
The cargo ship was also inspected, and all the goods were rummaged, but fortunately they did not find anything dangerous and waited to get off the ship.
After that, there was another person who was an official, this person's title seemed to be higher than that of ordinary officers and soldiers, Chen Youyi saw that Boss Zhao and they all took out the silver and handed it to the man, but he didn't say much, but he handed over the silver, and the man showed a pleasant expression on his face.
Chen Youyi also followed the example of Boss Zhao and the fruit merchant, took out some of the silver in his arms, and asked Wang Da to hand it over to that person.
It's just that when that person took their silver, his eyes looked at Chen Youyi's body, and he said a few words in his mouth, and vaguely heard him say, "The woman is also on a merchant ship?" ”
Chen Youyi chuckled in his heart when he heard this, and thought that he would embarrass himself, but when he saw that he took the silver and turned to leave, he breathed a sigh of relief, and waited a little longer, Boss Zhao and the fruit merchant got on their own boats, and then the boats began to leave the shore and slowly move towards the river.
Chen Youyi only knew at this time that this inspection was over.
In the next journey, Chen Youyi thought that the next stop should be the wharf, but who knew that such an inspection was repeated twice, and a lot of silver was taken.
Those officers and soldiers of Zhao State didn't talk much, they came up to ask for silver, checked the merchant ship and took the silver and left, and Boss Zhao and the fruit merchant didn't say much to them, just took the silver.
When the upload finally came to the dock, more than half of the cash in Chen Youyi's hand was also given out, and she couldn't help frowning, if it went on like this, her goods had not been sold, and the silver on her body had already been delivered.
No wonder there is no embargo in Zhao State, their officers and soldiers are exploited layer by layer, and the silver they get is enough, which is also a lot of income.
When the merchant ship docked, local workers came up to help unload the goods, and most of Chen Youyi's merchant ships were loaded with chili peppers, which the locals did not see much, and many people found it novel.
And the peppers are very light, and a sack of peppers is not very heavy to carry.
Chen Youyi followed Boss Zhao's instructions, followed him to meet the steward on the dock, handed over the weapons and silver for storing the goods, and thought that there would be nothing after that, but who knew that in the end, another group of officers and soldiers of Zhao State came.
These officers and soldiers did not inspect the goods, they came up and asked for money directly, Chen Youyi handed over half of the remaining money to them, and scolded them fiercely in his heart.
Until the silver in his arms bottomed out, and he didn't even have the money for food and accommodation if he paid it again, Chen Youyi asked Boss Zhao, "How many times will this kind of thing happen?" If this continues, I won't have enough money. ”
"This is probably the last time, although there are some people who also need to be dealt with later, but the problem is not big, the next is the time for you to sell your goods, and I have to follow the merchant ship to the next place, so I will not accompany you, Madame."
