Chapter 475: Shuibo

Not to mention that the danger of this task has decreased in a straight line, and the rich reward has already made the good man who is used to suffering on the Nulong River red-eyed, since Guo Xingchang intends to take everyone out of the sea of suffering, then everyone is naturally a thousand Ken and ten thousand Ken.

If you casually bet on two boats, you can make a lot of money, who wants to go on this waterway with a white knife, a red knife out, desperately there are not a few people who can take the land to run around? Therefore, after a few fools who could not see the situation clearly and wanted to jump out to fight for power and profit were cut off by Guo Xingchang, the water village of the eighteenth road of Nulongjiang was unified.

And Guo Xingchang reciprocated his favor, every time the fleet from Zhenyue Mountain City came and went, it must be strictly guarded by the elites in the eighteenth road of water, and in the past three years, there has not been a single mistake. While this is convenient for Xu Yao, the eighteenth road water park under his command is also getting stronger and stronger, if it is said that three years ago, the water bandits on the Nulong River were still scattered and rabble.

Then three years later, there are eighteen martial arts masters, thousands of martial artists, and the eighteen road water pools that are from bandits, which are already a force that cannot be humiliated on the rivers and lakes.

If Guo Xingchang's martial arts can go further in the future and become a peerless martial artist who can suppress the Eighteenth Road Shuibo, then there will be another promising force in this Jianghu that is about to rise completely. Of course, not to mention far, even with the current momentum of the eighteen-way water park, it should not be underestimated.

In the past, although the water bandits in the Nulongjiang River were a headache, they were just a plate of loose sand, and no Jianghu forces would take it into their eyes at all, but now the eighteen-way water park order is prohibited, who dares to take it lightly?

And for the heroes of the Eighteenth Road Shuibo, as long as they keep their jobs from Zhenyue Mountain City, they will have a head in that day. I have a little living money in my hand, and if I want anything, I can just piggyback on the fleet in Zhenyue Mountain City. And it's not like before, no one looks at me for two times in my hands, and two times I go to ask for someone and is looked down upon.

So there is no need for Guo Xingchang to give too many orders, the big guys cherish the current days very much. Aside from this group of water bandits, others are also happy to see the changes on the Nulong River.

The Nulong River connects the north and south, runs through Fufeng County, and the north and south go back and forth to do business, which is naturally the most convenient and fast waterway. But most people prefer to travel through the twists and turns and check the many land routes than to travel on this waterway, mainly for the following three reasons.

One is the world's waterways, but all the big ships that can be carried are under the control of all forces, and if you want to get on a boat, you naturally have to pay all kinds of fees and sections of waterways

Under the layers of exploitation, those merchants did not have much oil and water at all, and only their own business, which was similar to the official ships of the Northern Qi Dynasty, did not have such serious concerns, and most of the Jianghu forces controlling the waterways along the way did not dare to exploit these official ships.

The second is that although it is difficult to travel by land, at the beginning of Tian Hongyi's ascension to the throne, he vigorously eliminated the bandits from all sides, although it is not completely banned, but now most of the land routes in Northern Qi are some thieves, and the real bandits have long been cleaned up by Tian Hongyi.

And on the rivers and lakes, there are many water bandits, as long as the kung fu in the hand is handsome, a bamboo artemisia can come and go freely, if it is on the land route, the army of the four towns of the Northern Qi Dynasty is pressing, no matter what green forest heroes are killed together, but on this waterway, the army has lost its numerical advantage, and if it does not know martial arts, it is impossible to leave the ship under it, so naturally it cannot send a large army to encircle and suppress.

If there is a strong person dispatched, they will naturally flee when they hear the wind, and drill into those reeds, naturally they can't find it, the Northern Qi military tried a few times, and then stopped, and the left and right bandits also knew that the tiger's butt could not be touched, and they would not take the initiative to provoke the official ships of the Northern Qi court, and Tian Hongyi could only turn a blind eye for the time being.

Third, if you want to take the waterway, you will naturally have to go by boat, and this ship is very particular. If you want to build a ship with a load of 1,000 stones, it can carry 100 people, and the need for high-quality timber such as elm, red wood, camphor wood, and nanmu is enough to make the average merchant bankrupt, not to mention its keel that runs through the entire ship, to choose the best wood, concocted for three years, until the wood is mature, it takes dozens of craftsmen to work day and night for six months, so as to produce a good ship.

The cost of materials and labor alone is at least 10,000 taels of silver, and after the ship is completed, it is necessary to recruit manpower to go back and forth on this waterway, and some smaller forces will not be able to play at all.

However, after the water bandits on the Nulong River "became good one after another", things took a fundamental turn. In the past, because of the scarcity of merchants, those forces that exploited along the way were all dead horses as live horse doctors, and they could make a little profit.

But the treasure ships full of weapons and pills and all kinds of spiritual objects that came out of Zhenyue Mountain City are different, first of all, most of the ships coming and going in Zhenyue Mountain City are forces with heads and faces on the rivers and lakes, today you robbed my ship, and when you pass by my house another day, don't blame us for not paying attention to the rules, in the case of taking this into account, those Xu exploitation, naturally forget it, so as not to hurt everyone's harmony.

What's more, it's different from the previous petty fights, because

For the sake of the extremely high value of the goods of this ship, there are often masters in it, if someone comes to rob, the two sides have to compare twice, and in the end who robs whom, it is really not necessarily.

As for the fact that you don't have the ability to drum up a big boat that can walk on the Nulong River, you can pay silver money and board the big boat "Dragon Pool" that goes back and forth to the Nulong River waterway once in half a year in Zhenyue Mountain City, or you can have a passable boat, ask for a favor from the heroes of the 18th Road, spend some money, and form a fleet with the rest of the small forces on the Nulong River, and you can also keep a safe boat along the way.

After the obstacles on the waterway were exhausted, the Nulongjiang River immediately became prosperous, and the convenience of the waterway is not comparable to the land route, if there were no risks in the past, which would still be patient to be with those stinky mules and horses.

And after the Nulongjiang River flourished again, the various forces along the way found that their income from the Nulongjiang River had doubled several times, and they saw that Zhenyue Mountain City and the Eighteenth Road Shuibo had made a lot of money, and they immediately followed suit, and they also wanted to do the thing of escorting the boat, but after many inquiries, they had to give up.

Not to mention how many people will believe in the case that the reputation of these forces has not started, let's just say that the wharf in Zhenyue Mountain City is now also a radish and a pit, in addition to those top forces in the rivers and lakes and the northern and southern dynasties have a fixed mooring position, there are only eighteen road water and the Fan family, etc., the forces that have a relationship with Xu Yao in the early years occupy a little insignificant position.

The wharf of Zhenyue Mountain City is now making money every day, and it can be said that every inch of the deck has been carefully measured and scraped, and the rest of the people want to come to ask for some mountain, so naturally no one agrees. And when Xu Yao intended to expand the shipping affairs on the Nulong River to facilitate the merchants of the Nulong River.

There is already a tripartite competition between Fengyulou, the Nangong Family, and the Bliss Demon Sect, and the rest of the small forces want to intervene in it, but they will only be crushed by these three. These three top forces in the rivers and lakes all have a common characteristic, that is, they already have their own fleets on the Nulong River, and what they value is not the meager silver money that those small forces have given to form a fleet in order to seek refuge.

Rather, in order to guide the spiritual treasures carried on the ship as much as possible to their own territory to digest, as these entrenched heroes in the rivers and lakes, the gold and silver treasures are just a number, only those spiritual treasures that are closely related to martial arts cultivation, pill weapons, are the real hard currency.

In the case that you can't snatch and kill chickens and eggs, then it is naturally quite necessary to take over part of the business of boating on the Nulong River.
