Chapter 145: Li Mu returns to Hong Kong
Quanzhou Port Hongyun Building. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Due to the increasing prosperity of shipping in Quanzhou Port, maritime merchants in the past became more and more frequent, and there was often no suitable place to discuss things when trading with merchants from Guannai.
If you want to find a suitable place, you need to take a horse-drawn carriage to a small town dozens of miles away.
In this way, a lot of time is delayed, for businessmen sometimes time is life, and business is a race against time.
Seeing this situation, Mei'er opened another Hongyun Building not far from Quanzhou Port, which was used to discuss business with past businessmen, and could also increase the income of Shoushan Bofu.
Although Meier opened a Hongyun building in Quanzhou Port, not everyone can afford it.
The cheapest meal at the table in Hongyunlou alone will cost a hundred yuan, not to mention ordering a pot of good Shoushan Chun.
A pot of Shoushan Spring also costs a hundred runs, and this pot only has five taels of wine.
After a meal in Hongyun Building, the two sides are almost on the right track, and it is impossible for the businessmen who are talking and laughing to leave their seats, and they will order a pot of tea that has recently become popular in the Tang Dynasty.
A pot is also worth a hundred red robes unique to Hongyun Building.
After drinking this pot of tea, the matter is almost over.
According to such a procedure, the minimum amount of copper coins spent in Hongyun Building is not less than 1,000 yuan.
Although it is very expensive, it makes the businessmen of Quanzhou Port flock to it, not only because this Hongyunlou is a must, but they also know whose property this Hongyunlou is.
In addition, the businessmen will also compare with each other, to invite each other to talk about Hongyun Lou to reflect the strength of the business, over time, as long as the businessmen from Quanzhou Port are to discuss things, the first choice is Hongyun Lou of Quanzhou Port.
If you talk about things in Quanzhou Port, let the other party find that you can't even afford to go to Hongyun Building, then the other party will question the strength of its business, so the trade between the two sides may not be discussed before it is yellow.
Because of the profits obtained from this trip to Quanzhou Port, the cost of a banquet in Hongyunlou is only a drop in the bucket.
Since the opening of Quanzhou Port Hongyun Building, there is no day when the guests are full of people, sitting in the attic on the second floor, you can see the carriage of the merchants who come to stop every day.
Originally, this was a big hobby of Mei'er in her spare time, and for her, every time a carriage stopped, it meant that Hongyunlou had a new income.
This means that another sum will be added to the account office of Shoushan Bofu.
It's just that sitting in the attic on the second floor of Hongyun Building again today, Mei'er is no longer in the mood to look at the carriages that have stopped in the past, and she has no interest in looking at the busy Quanzhou Port not far away, and looking at the merchant ships of the Mufeng Merchant that are faintly visible.
Only Du Shang frowned and looked at the blue sea in the distance, as if he wanted to see what he wanted to think from the endless sea.
Mei'er whispered as if she had no idea: "My lord has been to the country of Bolai for more than half a year, when is the time to return?" ”
"Master must not know what happened in Datang in the past six months."
Looking down at Quanzhou Port, which is still busy, everyone knows that the Datang Pass has undergone earth-shaking changes, but it still maintains the prosperity of the past.
"Master Mei'er can't make up her mind." Turning her gaze back to the distant sea, the letterhead that Mei'er had been holding in her hand slipped off the table.
It was a letter from Chang'an.
"Kick, kick."
The sound of hurried footsteps reached Mei'er's ears, and in the midst of a frown, she saw that the attic door was pushed open, and Meishuang ran in panting with joy on her face.
Mei'er, who wanted to reprimand, saw that it was Meishuang who ran in, so she withdrew the words she was about to spit out, and said softly: "It's all the maids who are the head of the chief steward for a while, and they are still so frizzy, how can the master accept you into the room." ”
"Hey, hee." Mei Shuang, who ran in, did not have any restraints, and sat next to Mei Er and pleaded: "Sister Mei is joking, the master has not officially accepted Sister Mei into the room, how dare Mei Shuang take the lead." ”
"Okay, I know you're sensible." Mei'er glanced at Meishuang angrily, and then asked, "What's the matter with running here in such a hurry?" ”
"Ahh Hearing this, Mei Shuang remembered that there was something wrong here, and patted her little head and said: "Sister Mei, I came to tell my sister that the merchant ship that came back from the Mufeng Merchant said that I suspected that I had seen the old man's Muhai steel ship on the route back." ”
"Really?" Hearing this news, Mei'er, who was originally sad, was overjoyed, and she couldn't wait to go to Quanzhou Port to greet her.
Seeing Mei'er's joy after hearing the news, Meishuang said with some doubts: "Just listening to the reply of the servants on the merchant ship, they are not sure if it is or not, but it looks very similar, but it is not like, because the sea ships found are not one but more than a dozen, because there is no Quanzhou sailor escort around, the merchant ship did not dare to approach, so they had to quickly leave the sea area where they were found, and reported the news to me after docking." ”
"Still not sure? How the servants below do things? The surprised Mei'er was still uncertain when she heard the news, and said angrily.
"Sister Mei'er, now is not the time to talk about this." After comforting Mei'er for her subordinates, Meishuang immediately said: "Sister Mei'er, at present, do we ask the Quanzhou sailor to go and discover the sea area?" ”
"Yes, please go and see the Quanzhou Sailor, the lord is the commander of the Quanzhou Sailor, so if there is a Quanzhou Sailor on the side, there is no need to worry about safety." Hearing Meishuang's proposal, Mei'er nodded in agreement.
Just as he was about to go downstairs to the camp of the Quanzhou Navy Division stationed in Quanzhou Port, and let them prepare the fleet to go and check it, their eyes caught a glimpse of the street below Hongyun, and not far away there was a soldier on a war horse galloping down the street.
Mei'er recognized it as a cavalry unique to the Quanzhou Naval Division.
Curious, Mei'er raised her eyes and looked at the camp of the Quanzhou Port Naval Division in the distance, and saw that the military camp had never moved much since it was stationed there, and it seemed to be alive at this time, and the military flag was unfurled, as if the entire military camp of 3,000 people was reorganizing the army.
Seeing this, Mei'er was overjoyed, because in Quanzhou, except for Li Mu, who could mobilize the Quanzhou Water Master, she was secretly in power temporarily.
It is impossible for others to mobilize the 3,000 sailors stationed in Quanzhou Port, and even the Wei Dayong of the Assassin Mansion is not good.
In turn, Merle deduced that since she had not secretly given the order, there was only one answer that was about to come out.
And the cavalry she had just seen proved what Mei'er was thinking, because the cavalry had already come upstairs at this time, and this cavalryman had come to inform her.
The news that Li Mu, the commander of the Quanzhou Naval Division, was going to dock at Quanzhou Port.
Therefore, all the 3,000 sailors stationed in Quanzhou Port will be dispatched, and Meier also learned from the cavalry that the sailors will blockade the entire Quanzhou Port.
Mei'er, who got the news, ran down the Hongyun Building excitedly, preparing to go to Quanzhou Port to meet Li Mu's ship docking.
Mei Shuang, who also heard the news, hurriedly followed.
At this time, Li Mu had already joined up with a fleet of Quanzhou sailors, and under its escort, he was approaching the port of Quanzhou. (To be continued.) )
