Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help muttering to himself again, "Fortunately, my old man still has some connections, otherwise I may not be able to protect you, a little rabbit cub, it's okay to go out into the wild, I have a chance to make a career early, and I should retire the old man."

The old man himself was also a high-rise in the wind and rain building, but after an accident injury, although he could barely maintain his own realm, it was difficult to do it with his peers.

While he was still in the wind and rain building, there was still a little incense in the building, so he ended everything early, abdicated, and came to the branch building of Changlin County to retire, and later adopted an orphan, who grew up to be the apprentice who just said that he wanted to go to Fufeng County. Although he retreated bravely before and let go of the power in his hands early, he was uncomfortable with some opponents in the building before, although he took care of his reputation, and it was not good to do anything to himself, a half-wasted person, but secretly put some stumbling blocks, and let himself touch some nails that were not yin or yang, which was a common thing.

In this way, there will naturally be some rumors under the building, and they are old and refined, so they naturally will not take it to heart, but their apprentice is young and vigorous, and he can't be excited, and he went to Fufeng County this time, although he said that it was for the big competition in the building, but the old man didn't know that he was already ruthless in his heart, and vowed to make a little achievement in Fufeng County, and get back a little face for himself.

Although he felt that his apprentice's move was a bit naïve, the old man also stopped him by speaking out, and the reason was very simple, the young eagle always had to fly, he was old and weak, and he had a dark disease on his body, maybe he would die one day, and he could no longer support himself as an apprentice. Rather than wait until that time to be sad and sad, it is better to let yourself go out and have a good time, if you have achieved something, then in this stormy building, life will be better, the old man thought about it, and a smile appeared on his face, and then he closed his eyes peacefully, and above this small attic, there were bursts of snoring.

"Come on, load this quickly, ouch, light, this thing can't stand falling" Northern Qi Linyi, a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper, was directing his men to carry boxes of things onto the ships on the dock. Xu Yao and the others on the side looked at the boats on the river with relaxed expressions, talking to each other.

That Fufeng County is crossed by the Nulong River, and it is naturally the most convenient and fast waterway to rush from Linyi. 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 within the control of all forces, and if you want to get on a boat, you naturally have to pay all kinds of fees

How much oil and water, only a business similar to the official ship of the Northern Qi Dynasty, which is its own family, does not have such serious concerns, and most of the rivers and lakes forces that control the waterway along the way do 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.

But these three are not a problem for Xu Yao and others, first of all, Xu Yao went instead of the six doors, so he was naturally qualified to sit on the official ship, and naturally there was no extra cost.

Second, on the official ship, there is naturally no need to worry about Xiaoxiao coming to harass you. Later, when he transferred to his boat, Li Xingwei begged for a living on this waterway, and was respected as one of the thirty-six dragon heads by the good man on the Nulong River, Xu Yao and his party did not take the goods, there was no oil and water to earn, and the famous water bandits generally called would naturally give Li Xingwei a little thin noodles, as for those thieves who did not open their eyes, Xu Yao and his party were not muddy, they should send each other on the road, and they would naturally send each other on the road.

Third, although this official ship is good, Xu Yao has not forgotten that he has greatly offended Li Tongfu, the prime minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty, although the emperor is on the surface

It is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it belongs to the internal affairs of the imperial family, but Li Tongfu has his hands and eyes in the officialdom of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Xu Yao will not naively think that he can sit back and relax, because after borrowing this official ship to get out of Linyi City, his party will transfer to a big ship that Li Xingwei put on the waterway before, and from then on, he can leap with the sea and the sky, and let the birds fly.

This big ship that Li Xingwei secretly hid was also the biggest reason why Xu Xu finally decided to separate from the rest of the soldiers of the Six Gates. Li Tongfu was powerless, and if he wanted to deal with Xu Yao, he naturally had to rely on the official power of the Northern Qi Imperial Court, and the weakest place in the Northern Qi Imperial Court was precisely on the rivers and lakes where ships came and went.

Second, Xu Yao is now in the woods, and his name has spread far away, if he goes by land, I don't know how much trouble it will take, and on the waterway, drill into the boat, in fact, the "professional" Li Xingwei will come forward to take care of things, which will naturally save a lot of trouble.

Of course, Xu Yao himself naturally couldn't think of such a thorough matter, and he relied on Zhang Weiran's plan, and when it came to the fact that everyone wanted to go on the waterway, he naturally couldn't help but say that Li Xingwei was hiding on the waterway.

Li Xingwei since the Mingguang Temple returned to the world, has been on the Nulong River, when it was respected as one of the 36 dragon heads of the Nulong River, this slowly saved the family, after having his own boat, he went to Linyi, gathered the clan, and established a family.

And then Li Xingwei to do the business on the waterway, every time is to do it himself, and strive not to make mistakes, for decades, has been saved a lot of family foundation, Li Xingwei knows that the Li family seems to have a firm foothold in Linyi City, in fact, it is still relying on the prosperous business on the waterway, in order to make the Li family a hundred feet, go further, it will hide from the people in the clan, in recent years, most of the income of the clan secretly gathered, ready to build another big ship, in order to expand the scale of business on the Li family's waterway.

And the reason why Li Xingwei wants to hide from the rest of the Li family is naturally because he is afraid that there will be many people and leak the news, you must know that in Linyi City, there are not only the Li family who are qualified to walk on this waterway, for example, the Fan family, who has cooperated with Xu Yao, also has the qualification of a small waterway, if they know that they still have the ambition to expand the waterway business, then there are any countermeasures, that is something that no one can say.

However, Li Xingwei never expected that it was also because of this incident that the Li family misunderstood his fake public and private interests and monopolized the benefits.

But the past is gone, now that the Li family has been destroyed, naturally there is no need to mention it, the big ship that has been built in secret is naturally still there, and now it is cheaper Xu Yao.
