As soon as the ban on the sea was issued, it was protested by many merchants, and if they relied on chariots and horses to transport their goods, it would not only cost manpower and material resources, but most importantly, if they encountered some mountain bandits along the way, not to mention that the goods were robbed, even the transporters would probably have to take their lives.

"The emperor's order to ban the sea is not going to cut off our way of life?" A middle-aged man wearing a stone blue treasure flower carved silk brocade robe said.

"yes, yes. I'm in the fruit business, and if I rely on carriages and horses, when I return to Beichen, all the fruits will rot. Another man in a carved silk robe with dark patterns of crow-blue flowers said.

"Boss Chu, isn't your nephew doing pen posts in the court? Does he have any news that this sea ban is only for a few days, or is it going to be banned permanently? The man in the stone blue treasure flower carved silk brocade robe said.

"Oh, Boss Luo, this ......, borrow one to speak." Boss Chu looked around and said.

Boss Luo naturally understands what Boss Chu means, even if there is internal information, it is naturally not easy to publicize, the reason is very simple, no matter whether the news is beneficial to him or not, he can be one step ahead and protect his own interests.

"Boss Luo, I heard my nephew say that it was because someone was selling illicit salt that the emperor imposed a sea ban. He said that he must catch those involved in the sale of illicit salt. ”

"Selling illicit salt? It's all to blame on that Qi Fu, if he hadn't done nothing to tease the queen, the emperor wouldn't have handed him over to the three law divisions. Boss Luo said with a displeased face.

"Boss Luo, you have to be careful when you speak, if you are heard by someone with a heart, you will get into trouble." Boss Chu stopped in a deep voice.

"Am I not angry? You say, what can we do with this sea ban? Do you really have to rely on carriages and horses for transportation as before? Boss Luo said with a tense face.

Although he and this Chu boss are both engaged in fruit business, the fruits sold by the two of them are different, it can be said that the business of the two of them is unique in Cloud City, not to mention, the children of the two families have been engaged, and it will not be long before the daughter of the Luo family will marry the second son of the Chu family as his wife, so the two families will inform each other of any news.

"It's definitely not possible to rely on carriage and horse transportation, I have a way, but I don't know if you dare to do it." Boss Chu said lightly.

"Hey, this way of life is about to be cut off, what else dare to dare? This starves the cowardly to death, you say, what is the solution? Boss Luo urged.

"Don't you have a ship in the Comptoir? I just don't know if you dare to use your boat to smuggle it? Let's walk day and night, anyway, there are no pirates anymore, are you still afraid of being discovered by the government? Boss Chu raised his eyebrows and said.

Hearing this, Boss Luo's heart moved, yes, the pirates had been exterminated and incorporated a few years ago, and at most, they would encounter patrols at sea, even if they did, as long as they stuffed those people with some silver, it would be fine.

Thinking of this, Boss Luo made up his mind and did what Boss Chu said. Sure enough, there are no other merchant ships, Boss Luo's boat walks very smoothly on the sea, in order to prevent encountering ships patrolling at sea, Boss Luo also took several of his concubines and sons to travel together, thinking that if they met a patrol, it would be said that they came to the family to play.

Sure enough, Boss Luo's trick was very effective, and this night, the fresh fruits he had just purchased from other places were piled up in the cabin. When the ship reached a place three nautical miles from Cloud City, it encountered a patrol.

The patrols are also very boring at sea these days, and in this sea ban, all the merchant ships are parked on the shore, and even the ships that come out to play are less.

"Stop the boat, stop the boat." The Maritime Patrol held red lanterns and kept rocking towards Boss Luo's ship. Seeing this, the boatman hurriedly ran into the cabin.

"Master, it's not good, there's a sea patrol ahead, and they want us to stop the ship." The boatman said hurriedly.

"What's the hurry, we're just a family out to play, what's there to panic about, go row your boat, and leave the rest to the master." Boss Luo hugged his concubine and said proudly.

His fruit was hidden in the cabin, and a thin layer of hay was placed on top of it, and the man sat on it drinking and eating, and the patrol would not easily inspect the bottom of the cabin as long as they could not see any fruit.

After a while, he heard the sound of someone getting on the boat, Boss Luo hurriedly restrained his smile, got up and greeted: "A few officials, are you still busy with official business so late?" I'm here with my son and a few girls today, a few masters, do you want to sit down and have a few drinks together. ”

Hearing this, the officers and soldiers of the patrol team glanced at the people in the cabin, in addition to the two concubines of Boss Luo, there were also several top girls in the Qinglou, and Yingying Yanyan's cabin.

"No, you are playing as a family, we still have official business, Boss Luo, you are a leading figure in our Cloud City, no one misunderstands that you are violating the emperor's order and smuggling something." The officers and soldiers said coldly.

"Yes, yes, yes, what the official said is, isn't this a sea ban, and my boat can't be parked on the shore all the time, don't you want to take your family out to play." After finishing speaking, he also took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and stuffed them into the hands of the leading officers and soldiers.

The leading officer and soldier smiled faintly, shook the stack of silver tickets in his hand, and said to his colleagues behind him: "Brothers, after a while, we will be happy in Chunfeng Lou together." ”

"Okay." The officers and soldiers said with a smile.

The officers and soldiers left Boss Luo's boat, Boss Luo looked at the officers and soldiers' boat going away, and then said with a smile: "How about it, Dad's idea is okay, when we get to the shore in a while, you will first go and call the family members guarding the shore, and let them quietly transport everything to the store, and we can open and do business tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he returned to his beloved concubine.

When the Luo family's boat arrived at the shore, it was already late at night, and the eldest son of the Luo family went ashore to look around, and there was nothing wrong, so he called all the family members from the house next to him, loaded all the fruits in the cabin into the cart, and put them in the shop at night.

The next morning, Boss Luo asked people to open the shop door, and the fragrance of the fruits inside instantly attracted the people on the street, looking at these fresh fruits, the people were very happy, because of the sea ban, they had not seen these high-quality fruits for a long time.

Even if there is fruit to eat, it is just a home-grown orange tree or fruit tree, which is as fresh and delicious as the fruit in Boss Luo's shop.

"Boss Luo, I really didn't expect that you would be able to transport such fresh fruits." A middle-aged woman said with a smile as she picked fruit.

"Sister-in-law Peng, I asked people to transport this with ice cubes in the cart and horses." Boss Luo said with a smile.

"Yo, that took a lot of work. Look, this fruit is really fresh, Boss Chu's fruit shop is still not open, my daughter is pregnant and wants to eat lychees, I wonder if Boss Luo can help bring some back? ”

"Yo, sister-in-law Peng, this lychee is Boss Chu's only fruit, and I don't have his purchase channels." Boss Luo said with a smile.

Although, he and Boss Chu are about to become in-laws, but Boss Chu is so slippery, the purchase location of this lychee just refuses to tell him, although he knows that Lingnan lychees are delicious, but he has been to Lingnan several times and has also entered some lychees, but they are not as good as Boss Chu's lychees.

"I said Boss Luo, this lychee is not engraved with the surname of the Chu family, if he is allowed to buy lychees, you are not allowed to buy lychees? Besides, you're all about to become in-laws, and he won't open a shop for a few days, so you can help and come back with some lychees. Sister-in-law Peng said with a smile.

Originally, Boss Luo wanted to buy lychees to sell, but with Sister-in-law Peng's pluralization, he was even more determined in his heart to find a purchase channel for lychees.

Boss Luo settled everything in the family and took his son to Lingnan together. This time when he came to Lingnan, Boss Luo was in a very happy mood, because he finally found the concubine sold by Boss Chu and smiled.

This concubine is specially cultivated in Lingnan, and the person who cultivates the concubine smile is the clan of Boss Chu's family, no wonder no one can buy the goods for this concubine smile, Boss Luo told the clan of the Chu family about the sea ban, and the clan of the Chu family didn't want all the lychees to rot here, so they agreed to sell the lychees to Boss Luo.

After all, this lychee will not taste good if it is left for a long time, how can it be said that the Luo family and the Chu family will immediately be in-laws, even if they sell the lychee to the Luo family, there will be no displeasure.

Boss Luo took several large boxes of lychees and loaded them on the ship again, and by the way, he also loaded a lot of other fruits, these fruits don't look small, but they are very large, with the experience of the last time, Boss Luo moved the fruits into the cabin according to the previous method.

Late at night, the Luo family's boat floated lonely on the sea, this night, the wind and waves on the sea were very strong, the boatman could not even hold the rudder, a wind and waves hit, and the ship had deviated from the course.

"Master, the wind and waves outside here are too big, our ship has deviated from the course, and we won't be able to return to Cloud City at night."

"What? So what to do? If you look at the patrols at sea, their boats are sturdier than normal boats, and if they help, we'll be fine. Boss Luo said lightly.

"Okay." The boatman hurried out, but no sooner had he stepped out of the cabin than a great wave struck, and the ship's mast was broken, and the boatman's feet slipped and fell on the deck.

At this moment, the boatman saw a light flickering not far away, and when he saw this, the boatman hurriedly got up and shouted loudly, hoping to arouse the idea of the man on the boat.
