Guan Ke said with a smile, "Wu Tiju dares to put up this price, and he can't stand someone who is willing to rent, can you manage it?" ”

Ding Zuodong shook his head: "At that time, I knew that there was something greasy here, but I didn't expect it to be Wu Tiju." ”

Renee smiled: "If you don't give Wu Tiju an offering, no wonder he embarrass you." ”

"Those eight achievements are Wu Tiju's boat. Anyone who wants to give him a bribe only needs to rent his boat. Public lease, you and I are willing, others can't say anything, and the ship is indeed a good ship, rented can indeed be used, easy to use. Guan Ke added, "By the way, of course, these ships are not recorded in Wu Tiju's name." ”

He Lingchuan stroked his chin thoughtfully, if Dong Rui was here, he could see that he was ready to hold back the water:

"These ships are expensive, aren't they?"

"Of course, especially the big ships are all big ships that can carry the wind and waves of the ocean, from a shipbuilding family in the east, the materials are very real, and each one is expensive." Guan Ke raised two fingers, "Wu Tiju took the smallest cargo ship to auction some time ago, and finally sold it for two thousand taels of silver. ”

Ding Zuodong nodded: "Only his boat can be sold at this price, right?" ”

"Not bad." Guan Ke smiled, "In my opinion, eight hundred taels is too much." ”

On the surface, the procedure went through the motions, and then the auction fee was deducted, and 1,000 taels were in hand.

"Ten big ships, at least twenty or thirty thousand taels." He Lingchuan admired, "It's not counting the cost of the boat." Wu Tiju is prosperous in wealth. ”

These thirty or so ships alone are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, not counting the other industries under Wu Tiju.

The official is not big, but he holds real power, and he is full of oil and water.

Seeing that Lord Wu was so rich, He Lingchuan was also relieved, and asked Guan Ke: "There is also a sales bank here?" ”

"Nope." Guan Ke shook his head, "Originally, there were two, and one did a good job, but the manager encountered a shadow at sea and died." As soon as he died, all his property was yellow; The other was not doing well and went down six months ago. Now if everyone wants to auction something, they have to go to Baili territory, or simply go to Platinum Island, which is very inconvenient. ”

"The official doesn't want to do something?"

"Blade Harbor seems to be in preparation." Guan Ke sneered, "I've been preparing for half a year, and there is no movement." ”

He Lingchuan snorted and said to Guan Ke: "Come back to the main island with me later, there are a few things to be done for you." ”

Guan Ke is overjoyed, and it should be immediately.

Renee reminded: "My lord, the hurricane at sea is fierce, and it is just luck that I haven't come in the past three months, it doesn't mean that the back is gone." ”

He Lingchuan remembered that he had also encountered a hurricane when he was drifting in the ocean, and the ship almost sank: "Are hurricanes here frequent?" ”

"From summer to autumn, there are at least two or three. In previous years, hurricanes first blew on the Yangshan Islands before continuing to make landfall in the north, and palm harvesting had to be accelerated. ”

He Lingchuan thought of the ongoing farm.

The ground was leveled, the wheat was planted, and the farm was built. At this time, there are a few hurricanes, and it is really terrible.

If you farm the land, you have to depend on the sky to eat.

He pondered for a while before he said to Ding Zuodong: "Find me a dozen stonemasons." ”

The lord is particular about doing things, and Ding Zuodong doesn't ask the reason, he only responds well.

He Lingchuan explained a few more words to Qiu Hu, and then said: "You are responsible for this." ”

Qiu Hu nodded: "Little things." ”

He Lingchuan finished his inspection, patted Qiu Hu on the shoulder, smiled at Renee again, and left with the other two.

Qiu Hu looked at his back and sighed.

Renee was a little surprised: "You also sigh?" ”

"How not?" Qiu Hu's voice was so low that only Renee could hear it, "I hate moths the most, and if I can solve these troubles by knocking them to death with a stick, I will not be relentless." ”

Renee laughed, "Isn't it useless to knock them to death?" ”

Qiu Hu pressed his neck and made a click: "The lord said that we must be upright, and we will have great development in the future." There are only a limit to the problems that sticks can solve. ”

After getting on the boat, He Lingchuan independently bowed the ship and let the sea breeze blow.

This is his exclusive position, seeing him close his eyes and think, the others consciously retreat away and do not come to disturb.

The sky is wide and the earth is wide, and He Lingchuan is thinking about the future.

The mirror in his arms asked him, "Is it difficult for you to win a hundred columns?" Why should you be troubled by the father and son of the Lu family? ”

Its owner burned down the Star Picking Tower as soon as he set it on fire, how happy he was at that time, why didn't he take action against the Lu family father and son now?

"The game hasn't started yet." He Lingchuan didn't open his eyes, "When this game is opened, do you think it's Bailie sitting across the table?" ”

"Isn't it?"

"Even if I take down the Lu family's father and son, even if I can get back Bailie, then what? Do you think the better days are coming? He chuckled, "I'm telling you, the real trouble is all to come." ”

The mirror is thoughtful.

"Once I take Baili, I will no longer be a nobody to Mu Guo, Qingguo, and even Beijia." He Lingchuan said slowly, "Do you think that Mu will sit back and watch me eat Bailie but ignore it?" ”

"Uh, can't?"

"Bailie was originally a subsidiary of the Mu State, and contributed money and food to it in exchange for his own peace. On the other hand, Mu Guo has the responsibility to protect Bailie. He Lingchuan raised his head and felt the sea breeze of the slight tide. After coming here for more than a month, he has become accustomed to the climate here, "A big country like Mu Country hates changes around it the most, not to mention that Yaguo and Qingguo are all ready to move, and the importance of Bailie to it will naturally increase." ”

"And Bega." He said slowly, "Once there is a change in the surroundings of the Mu country, Bega will definitely be concerned, and he will see us at that time." What's more, there is a Bejia chasing army behind Zhu Erniang, and I estimate that it will be coming soon. ”

"After collecting a hundred columns, we will be on the stage and walk under the lamp. When everyone is staring at you, you want to retreat into the background, but you don't have a chance. ”

was coerced by the times, so he couldn't help himself.

"While they can't see me, we must hurry up and grow in secret; When I come into the game, I have to have a big waist. ”

At this stage, the main focus is on an obscene development, and it should be fast, fast and low-key.

"Besides, my newly formed group of people also needs to be expanded, experienced, and grown." He Lingchuan sighed, "Whether it is military training or business strategy, it cannot be achieved overnight. Bailie, a rookie, just used it to practice. Otherwise, if our territory expands in the future, the situation will be more complicated, and without a mature talent team, what will I rely on to govern? ”

"Hey, you're not in a hurry."

"What's the hurry? The lion and tiger are lazy all day long, but in fact, they recharge their energy and only fight with all their strength when hunting. He Lingchuan said with a smile, "The deer pig screams and makes noise all day long, and when he sees two mouthfuls of grass, he panics, but he doesn't know that the only end in this life is to become someone else's meal." ”

"They think the grass they eat will turn into flesh and blood? No, these ointments ended up growing on the tiger wolf. ”

He asked the mirror, "Do you want to be a lion or a deer?" ”

"I just don't want to be eaten."

"That's not up to you!" He Lingchuan laughed, "The way of the world is like this, either you eat people or are eaten." ”

"For me, Baili is a barrier that helps me keep people out of sight, and I don't want to tear it down too soon. I only hope that the father and son of the Lu family will also know each other, and don't collapse this barrier. He raised his head slightly, only to see that the autumn was high and refreshing, and he only listened to the wind and sea, "We must cherish the calm and calm now." This kind of good life is afraid that there will not be many in the future. ”

The next day, sixty miles west of Blade Harbor, the Westfjords.

It was a very cloudy day, and the sun never showed up in the morning, but the sea was not stormy and the boat was very smooth.

The Boater stretched out and yawned in the wind.

Sleepy, it's finally almost here. When he returned to Blade Harbor, he wanted to soak in the Yellow Croaker Tavern for a few hours, and then go to the half-door little lady in the depths of Mud Snail Alley, where the money spent last time was worth it.

Boom, the hull of the ship shook violently, and the sailor slammed forward into the side of the ship, and the big teeth almost knocked off.

When the boat stopped, everyone rushed out to see, "What's the matter?" ”

Hit something? The sailor covered his mouth and said, "There are no reefs here!" ”

"The cabin is leaking!"

Sure enough, it was damaged, and the captain immediately sent someone down to repair it.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the sound of water was heard under the bow of the ship.

Everyone leaned over to the bow of the boat to look down, and almost frightened their souls:

"Yin, Yin!"

Seven or eight yin snakes came out of the water, the largest one was nearly two feet long, and its dark body was thicker than that of a giant python.

I am afraid that the Baoji was stopped by it.

Everyone bowed their heads, just to meet their gloomy eyes, and all kinds of old things about the destruction of ships and cannibalism in the past came to their hearts at once.

"Oh my god! How can there be a shadow here?! "The shadows have never been in the Westfjords.

The captain also shouted "protect the ship, protect the boat", but more than half of the people around him were missing.

He turned his head and saw that everyone had rushed to the back of the boat, but instead of taking weapons, they had put down the slings and prepared to escape in the boat.

The sailor covering his mouth shouted: "There is no shadow in the sea behind, go quickly!" ”

The captain was furious: "Take the weapon, get the weapon quickly!" This ship is carrying public grain! ”

"There are so many yin snakes, and there is a big man, we can't win!" The sailor's mouth was a little leaky, "You want to protect the ship, you stay, we'll go first!" ”

The journey was very short, and it was only four or five days before and after, and no valuable materials were transported. They receive a meager salary, and they can't drink two catties of good wine ashore, so there's no need to work hard.

"Come up, come up, come up!" When everyone looked back, the shadow worm climbed up and threw one of the captain's henchmen directly into the sea.

As soon as they came up, the deck immediately became more cramped.

Just these few shades, the ship is almost unloaded.

Seeing them spitting out letters and rushing over, everyone was even more frightened, and untied the cables with all hands and feet.

Someone next to him rushed out and jumped into the boat first.

Everyone looked at it, and it was actually the captain.

"Let's go, let's go!"

One or two shades, everyone can still deal with them.

Three of a kind, four of a kind, gritted his teeth and dried up.

There are so many shades, it's still important to run for your life.

Two days after another, early in the morning.

Wu Tiju arrived at the city on time.

Over the years, he has rarely been late for work.

After a round in the city, all his subordinates arrived at their posts, and he nodded with satisfaction.

Upward and downward, his diligence as a leader, his subordinates will naturally work hard.
