Chapter 3137 Begins

Zhou Lang moved into another courtyard, had his belongings sorted out, and then took everyone to see the sea.

Standing on the beach, with the fierce sea breeze blowing, the waves rushed up again and again and slapped on the rocks on the shore. The moment the tide receded, the evil wind from nowhere blew their hair back, snap.

It was instantly stuck on their faces.

Zhou Lang tried hard to pull his hair off his face, and then closed his wide mouth, "Here, is the wind always so strong? How are we going to sail?"

Liu Guidao: "No, it's not usually this big," he paused and then said, "But sometimes there are waves bigger than now."

When Zhou Lang heard this, he swallowed nervously, "Then the boat will capsize in the sea..."

Liu Gui said with a sad face: "Then he probably won't survive."

Thursday Lang:......

The sea is indeed much more dangerous than the land.

There were several boats parked outside Longchi Pier. Except for three given by Laizhou, there were two others. I don’t know what conditions Bai Shan gave to snatch the boats from Laizhou Pier;

The rest are official ships.

Liu Gui took Zhou Lang to see the pier, then wandered to Haisi, and then whispered to him: "There are three official ships, which were transferred by His Highness the Crown Prince from Qingzhou to Lord Lang. They mainly go north to Cangzhou, and Pingzhou

To the south, we have to go to the Chaozhou area, so if my uncle wants to go to Jiangnan, he has to find a merchant ship."

"Is shipping expensive?"

"It depends on the goods and people you bring. The larger the space, the higher the price will naturally be." Liu Gui has come to Longchi from Qingzhou and handed over the shop in Qingzhou to the people below. Although he is not going out for business now, he still

He planned to use the shop that Bai Shan bought, so he made inquiries about this aspect.

He reported the prices of each store, the places he went to, and the time he spent one by one to Zhou Lang.

Zhou Lang directly saved the effort of prying.

"Based on this calculation, it is indeed cheaper to take the sea route than the land route."

"No," Liu Gui said with a smile: "Not only is it cheaper, but it is also faster, and the bed also saves money on hotels on the road. All expenses are taken into account. We are both in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is half cheaper to go by sea.

.”

Liu Gui asked: "Fourth uncle, have you decided where to go?"

Zhou Lang looked confused, "With the relationship between Bai Shan and Man Bao, it is naturally best to take the official ship, but... I want to visit Jiangnan."

It is said that the prosperity of Jiangnan is second only to the Central Plains. He has seen the prosperity of the Central Plains, but he has not seen the prosperity of Jiangnan.

And I heard that the silks and brocades over there are different from those used here, and have a different style.

Liu Gui then smiled and said: "What's the point? If you are fast, you can go in and out twice a year. You can take the merchant ship first and then the official ship later."

Only then did Zhou Lang remember and ask, "Is the official ship doing the official business?"

Liu Gui shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't know about this little one. I only know that the official ship must be at the disposal of the master. All merchants who are qualified to board the official ship need to be approved by the master personally. But I don't think the fourth uncle has it."

questionable."

It's not because of Zhou Lang's ability, but because of his natural attributes that they are in the same team.

Shangguan Chuan's caravan must be his own, otherwise Bai Shan would rather not make that extra money.

So far, Bai Shan has not found any merchants to cooperate with, but he is not in a hurry because the space on the ship is not empty.

They need to transport a lot of salt.

Spring is warm and flowers are blooming. Spring has returned to the earth. Now the spring rush has begun. It is the time when all places need to work hard. The next six months will be the time when salt consumption is high.

At this time, without any warning, Jiangnan told the yamen from various places who came to purchase that the Jiangnan salt field had a poor harvest and could not temporarily provide the salt they needed.

The news spread back to various places, and the local government offices were a little anxious. They could only write letters to procurement officials and ask them to mediate as much as possible, and at the same time, they wrote to the court to impeach Jiangnan official salt and Jiangnan's salt policy.

The Yushitai read the document and handed it over to Zhongshu Sheng, who suppressed it and handed it over to the emperor.

The emperor sneered, handed it to the prince, and said, "Let Bai Shan get out of the ship."

"yes."

The emperor warned: "The matter must be kept secret, and the news must not be leaked before the salt arrives."

The prince agreed and wrote a secret letter to Bai Shan and included it in the gift for Mingda.

The emperor then remembered, "Why haven't Mingda and the consort come back yet?"

The prince said calmly: "The child is only two months old. How can he travel around on the road so young? I think we should let them stay in Qingzhou."

It would be a good idea to help Bai Shan calm down the demons and monsters.

The emperor frowned, "Once the salt in Beihai County goes out, Bai Shan will probably become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of many people. What if they are accidentally injured there?"

The prince thought for a while and then said: "Let Lord Yin send more imperial troops there? Yin may be there too. After all, he is Lord Yin's only son. He should be quite worried."

The emperor thought for a while, and finally sighed, feeling that the child was getting older and would fly away from home as soon as his wings became strong.

Forget about the son, he had to leave the feudal clan and stay in the capital for fear that the courtiers would want to gossip more. Now he can't even keep his daughter.

The emperor hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

However, the prince did not have the power to dispatch the imperial army, so the emperor had to talk to Lord Yin himself.

The letter was quickly delivered to Beihai County. Bai Shan, who had been preparing for this period, immediately went to Jiawa after receiving the letter.

Because his wife was not around, Zhou Liwei was sloppier than three months ago. He didn't even shave, and he looked very wild. When he saw his uncle, he touched his face embarrassedly.

Bai Shan twitched the corners of his eyes, feeling that it hurt his eyes too much, and waved his hand: "Go and freshen up quickly, and let people start loading the car. We will set off tomorrow."

Zhou Liwei responded immediately.

One vehicle after another was pulled out and put away in the warehouse, where the soldiers loaded the vehicles themselves.

When all the four-wheeled vehicles were full, the soldiers also rolled out many trolleys, loaded them with salt and tied them up...

Early the next morning, they set off from Jiajiawa to Longchi. They took a road built by Ding last year, which could save a lot of time. However, this road was diverted from the official road, so

There are not many people walking. Except for villagers from a few villages along the way, there are basically no people at other times.

Bai Shan and Nie Canjun personally escorted the team. They walked for a whole day, stopping to rest in the middle of the afternoon. They continued walking after dark, and finally arrived at Longchi in the dark in the early morning.

The people here in Longchi had already received the news and were ready. When they saw the fire coming, Fang Xiancheng led people to greet them, "Sir, the official ship is already waiting outside."

Bai Shan nodded slightly, looked around and asked, "You didn't scare anyone, did you?"

"No, in the past few months, I have followed your orders, letting people rest and rise to the sound of the bell. The rest of the time, I have been walking around as I please, and I will be treated as a thief."
