It's just that there are fewer people who come to the city to do business today. He passed behind the cloister and heard two merchants talking:

"Why did the shadow come out again? I crossed the Westfjords yesterday and saw a few big whales swimming in the sea! ”

"Ah, is your boat alright?"

"As soon as we ran, the shadow chased after us, and wandered directly in front of the bow for a long time, and the whole boat was frightened. They kept probing through the water, as if they were observing something, and only swam away after half burning incense. "Doesn't that mean that this sea area is safe?" ”

"When did you say that?"

"Isn't the new owner of the Yangshan Islands able to restrain the Yin Yu?"

"It's really blown up, who knows how much it's true or not?" The companion reacted, "Oh no, the Yin Yu never went to the Westfjords before, it was outside the Yangshan Islands. ”

"Since the Archipelago changed some time ago, and the Yin Corpse Tide was inhabited, they often scurryed around." The merchant sighed, "It's not strange where they came out of nowhere. ”

Wu Tiju listened to a few words casually, but he didn't care.

Just as Zhao Yanshi came in from outside, Wu Ti raised his hand and beckoned people to the compartment and asked:

"Are last month's accounts ready? In three days, the silver seal must be turned over to the treasury. ”

"It's all done, don't worry." Zhao Baishi looked left and right, and saw that the two businessmen had already walked away before saying, "Yangshan Islands have not come to send for inspection in the past few days. I've heard that most of their palm oil has been harvested, and a lot of new ones have been produced. ”

He saw that Wu Tiju didn't squeak, and asked again, "Look?" ”

Wu Ti raised his eyelids and rolled his eyelids: "After all, the new owner of the Yangshan Islands has just entered this industry, and the novice has no experience, and the quality is difficult to control." The city department must strictly check and repeatedly inspect his things, and urge them to pass as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, yes." Zhao immediately grasped the two key words of "strict" and "repeated". Speaking of which, Wu Ti's palm grove seems to be a bumper harvest, and it is being shipped these days. Every season, foreign merchants will come to Blade Port to collect palm oil.

If it drags on for another 20 days, the merchants will negotiate and receive the subscription, and they will find their way home.

Zhao Baishi comprehended Wu Tiju's request, and the sales and store opening permits of the Yangshan Islands must not be able to be done in this half a month. In the later period, Yangshan Islands wanted to sell oil, but it was not so easy.

As soon as the local harvest season is over, the big merchants who buy bulk commodities leave the port and go to other regions to split up and resell their supplies. After they left, Blade Harbor and the fjords were left with only petty traders and civilians buying sporadically.

To put it simply, these two are the difference between wholesale and retail, and the volume and price are not the same level.

The commodities of Yangshan Islands are mainly palm oil, and the volume of goods is huge, so it must be connected with bulk buyers. Once the delivery season is missed, a large number of goods will be piled up in the warehouse and cannot be sold, and the little amount of goods in the retail market is a drop in the bucket.

The accumulation of goods will lead to poor circulation and poor capital turnover.

Money can only continue to be generated if it circulates at a high speed in the transaction process. For a novice island owner like He Lingchuan with limited financial resources, once the goods cannot be sold, it is easy to form a financial downward spiral.

Zhao Yishi immediately stated: "In the later stage, the lower officials will also work diligently to help them improve their quality, so as to live up to the trust of many foreign businessmen in Daofeng Port." ”

Wu Tiju sighed with emotion: "Doing a good job in quality and building a good reputation is conducive to the long-term development of Yangshan Islands and Daofeng Port!" ”

Zhao Baishi said softly again: "My lord, I heard that this island owner surnamed He has some skills, and even the pirates who have been crisscrossing the islands for many years have been subdued by him. ”

This matter was still hyped up more than half a month ago, and the officials of Blade Harbor have confirmed the authenticity of the news, and they all feel incredible.

Zhao Yanshi rejected Yangshan Islands' application three times, and he was also a little worried in his heart.

After all, the other party is not the same as ordinary merchants.

Does this have to be left to him?

"Those pirates in the Yangshan Islands, how can they have any real skills?" Wu Tiju snorted, "It's just that there is a lot of gloom there, and it can't make a normal living, pirates are like weeds, they will grow after cutting them a few times, and in the end, no one bothered to bother with them." ”

"That yin seems to have been dispelled by Lord Hedao?"

"Seeing is believing, and now the depths of the archipelago are still full of gray mist, do you think he can really dispel it?" Wu Tiju sneered, "Some people have to chase fame before they seek profit. is famous, but are you afraid that the money will not roll in? ”

"But I heard that several islands have been driven ......out," Zhao Yishi saw his boss's face, and immediately changed his words, "It's been a few months since this 'He Island Lord' came to Blade Harbor, and he has never visited an adult, how arrogant!" ”

"It is rumored that he has hosted many high-ranking officials and businessmen, but he only sent his supervisor surnamed Ding to visit me." Wu Ti raised his skin and smiled, "Young man, hehe." ”

He didn't nod, a bottle of oil and a piece of paper in Yangshan Islands didn't want to sell it in Blade Harbor!

The two of them went back to the front hall to work, and as soon as they sat down, a person rushed in outside, white-faced brocade clothes, looking anxious, and almost fell when they crossed the threshold.

When it was almost late autumn, he was still sweating profusely, and shouted at Wu Tiju: "Teacher, the big thing is not good!" ”

This is Wu Tiju's apprentice, who runs his own school, and is a teacher and personable on weekdays, how could he have been so out of shape?

Wu Tiju frowned: "Is the sky falling?" You sit down and speak slowly. ”

"The Bonji is sinking."

Wu Ti stood up and reprimanded loudly: "What nonsense! ”

"It was supposed to come into port yesterday morning, but it didn't come back for a long time. This morning, the crew of the Bo Ji returned from the sea, saying that the ship had been attacked by the shadows, and that they had to evacuate after a failed counterattack, and then watched the ship sink. ”

The Baoji is Wu Tiju's ship, but it is only hung in the name of this disciple.

The length of the hull is ten feet, not the largest ship in his hand, but it is the latest, and it was only undocked and launched last year.

The keel of the Bao Ji is a rare white hemlock, which was given to Wu Tiju, and the Bao Ji built with it is extremely fast, and Wu Tiju himself often takes it to sea.

Now that he heard that the ship had actually sunk, Wu Tiju's whole person was not good:

"What's going on! Why did the Shadow Worm attack my ship? Did it sail into the waters of the Yangshan Islands? ”

"No, no, it was attacked as it passed through the Westfjords!"

As soon as the words "Westfjord" came out, Wu Tiju swallowed his saliva. Zhao Yanshi on the side couldn't help but say: "Westfjord!" The two merchants also said that the shadows had been watching their ship in the Westfjords for a long time, but had not attacked them. ”

Now Wu Tiju thought his voice was harsh: "I heard it." ”

"Isn't the shadow looking for your ship?"

Wu Tiju kept silent with a cold face.

When will a monster like the Yin Yu swim out of the depths of the Yangshan Islands to attack a certain ship?
