Volume Four, Volume 33, Chapter 21, Return to Fuhai City
After nearly a week of flight, the transportation airship from Yunfeng City in the west of Yingzhou to Fuhai City landed at an airship take-off and landing base in the west of Fuhai City at dawn on May 16th.
Yunfeng City is already in the inland of Yingzhou, while Fuhai City is on the coast. The goods and products in the two places are very different. Therefore, many of the people who travel between Yunfeng City and Fuhai City on airships are running small businesses.
of merchants.
Large business groups and trading companies have their own airships, so naturally they don't need to take this kind of public transportation airship.
And this public transportation airship is not cheap. The flight from Yunfeng City to Fuhai City takes 6 days and 6 nights, plus supplies on the way. An ordinary soft sleeper ticket on the airship costs 2 gold coins and 20 silver coins.
When the airship was about to land, a fat flight attendant on the airship had already walked into the soft sleeper cabin of the airship with a metal speaker and shouted loudly, "The airship has arrived at Fuhai City. Passengers, please prepare to disembark."
Please be sure to bring your own gifts when traveling on the airship. After disembarking from the airship, passengers who have handled the consignment business will take their consignment vouchers to the cargo exit hatch to collect the goods themselves!”
After the flight attendant said this twice, the passengers in the soft sleeper cabin began to get up and move one by one.
After making the announcement in this soft sleeper cabin, the flight attendant went to other cabins to make the announcement.
There are more than 30 people sleeping in this soft sleeper cabin. The high and low single beds on the upper and lower floors are lined up. The space is very small and crowded. Of course, there are more than 30 old men who haven't showered in a week.
The air in the room is naturally not good. In the soft sleeper cabin, the smell of feet, sweat, and men's tobacco fills the room. If the airship lands, I'm afraid it will take half an hour to open the window and blow in the wind to get rid of these smells.
Spread cleanly.
"The airship route from Yunfeng City to Fuhai City is getting more and more difficult. I remember having a breakfast when I came here two months ago, but I didn't expect that this time the airship speeded up a little while replenishing and flying in the air.
, arrived at Fuhai City before eight o'clock in the morning, and even saved everyone's breakfast!" A small vendor in his forties got up, packed his things, and shook his head, "People's hearts are not ancient..."
"I heard that in order to cope with the jihad, not only the airships, but also the railway network in Taixia Prefecture must be fully accelerated and ready to invest in new steam locomotives. I heard that the new steam locomotives can reach a speed of 180 kilometers per hour on the railway.
It is nearly one-third faster than the current railway locomotive. If you come to Fuhai City again in the future, maybe you can try taking the train, which is not slower than the airship!" On the high bed on the other side, a passenger who was climbing out of bed said.
"Wow, this is a big business. To complete such an upgrade and transformation of the entire Taixia railway network, billions of gold coins will have to be spent!" Someone exclaimed. "I wonder if this new steam locomotive was built by Taixia
Which family produces Xia!"
"How can one family or one business group handle such a big business? This kind of thing can only be done by the Taipu Mansion and Gewuyuan in Xuanyuan Hill to come up with the technology and standards. Then the powerful families in each state can do it.
Bid together with the business group to win the bid, and each will get a piece of cake. Those with strength will eat a few more pieces. Those with less strength will eat a few pieces less. Everyone does business. Everyone makes money." An experienced voice spoke, and then continued
Say hello. "I heard that in the past few days, there have been several large ships packing goods from the Yue Subcontinent in Fuhai Port, and there are also many border residents. Who wants to go and see with me?"
"Go together, go together!" Someone shouted immediately.
After staying together in a soft sleeper cabin for six days, even people who were not familiar with each other have become familiar with each other. If everyone communicates with each other, they may be able to discover many business opportunities.
There were many vendors in the soft cabin, but not everyone was a vendor. When the people in the cabin were bustling and preparing to get off the airship, a person who had been sleeping in an inconspicuous corner of the cabin also stretched and stood up.
He got up, straightened his clothes, and followed the others off the airship.
Seeing this man approaching, several vendors crowded in the narrow aisle of the cabin quickly moved out of the way.
He was a majestic man with a height of seven feet. As soon as this man stood up, the entire soft-berth cabin suddenly seemed to be dwarfed. Ordinary people would be at least two heads shorter in front of this man.
This big man has a ferocious bald head, a messy beard, and strong bones. Although he only wears a coarse cloth, under the coarse cloth, you can see a body of strong muscles made of steel. Nothing else.
Said, it's just that the thickness of his upper arms, at first glance, is not much thinner than the thighs of ordinary businessmen. A pair of big futon-like hands can completely cover a person's head. The person is standing on his fist, and his arms are
When it comes to this big man, it's really not an exaggeration to say "horse racing".
The big man has a majestic and ferocious face. He has a bald head filled with murderous intent. Under a pair of thick eyebrows that look like broadswords, his slender eyes faintly reveal a trembling red light. A timid person may stand in front of this big man.
I would be so scared that I would wet my pants.
After staying in the soft sleeper cabin for six days, this big man did nothing but eat and poop. Because the big man's face had a sinister aura, all the people in the soft sleeper cabin did not dare to communicate with him, so they kept
Until now, no one knows the name of this majestic man.
When the big man was about to step off the airship, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"The strong man in front of you, please stay!"
"What?" The big man stopped and turned around. The airship captain who called him immediately felt a pressure rushing towards him, and couldn't help but have a bunch of eager smiles on his face.
"I am Liu Chuan, the captain of this airship. Do you know the name of this brave man?"
"My surname is Cui. Speak quickly. If you have something to say, don't waste my time!" The big man's voice sounded from his chest, sonorous and low, like thunder. As he spoke, he flapped his hands impatiently.
Next, the captain standing in front of him felt the strong wind blowing against his face, and the smile on his face became even more friendly.
"That's right. I see that you, Zhuangshi, are as majestic as a mountain. You must also have extraordinary abilities. The armed guards of our merchant group are recruiting heroes from all over the world recently. We need brave men like Cui Zhuangshi the most. I don't know Cui Zhuangshi..."
Captain Liu originally wanted to recruit people for the armed guards of his business group. Apart from anything else, he only looked at Cui's majestic figure and size.
It's high, but if you just stop there, ordinary Xiaoxiao will be shocked. It's more than enough to be a escort for a business group.
The big man surnamed Cui blinked and pointed at his nose, "The armed guards of your business group want to recruit me?"
"Exactly, the guard members of our Fengyun Merchant Group are well-paid, at least 30 gold coins per year, and after joining, they may be taught combat skills by famous experts hired by the business group, which will help them gain a lot of skills!"
The big man surnamed Cui laughed loudly, his laughter was like thunder, which directly shook Captain Liu in front of him until his ears were ringing.
The big man slapped Captain Liu on the shoulder, almost causing Captain Liu to sit on the ground, "Hahaha... I accept my kindness, but you can't afford me!"
Captain Liu's body was numb, but he still smiled, "30 gold coins is the minimum salary. If Cui Zhuangshi has the ability, then the rising tide will naturally lift all boats!"
"I want to be granted the title of Marquis, can your Fengyun Merchant Group give it to me?"
The smile on Captain Liu's face froze, "Cui Zhuangshi is joking, this is what the imperial court can give you!"
"Then it's over..." Amidst the laughter, the big man surnamed Cui shook his head, turned around and left, got off the airship and entered the underground passage leaving the airship base...
Could it be that he had misjudged the truth? This person named Cui is still a strange person who plays games in the world...
Looking at the tall figure leaving the airship, Captain Liu was stunned, and such an idea came to his mind...
…
An hour later, a big man named Cui appeared on a street in Fuhai City lined with wealthy families.
The door of Fan Jizheng's house is closed and locked. There is no one in the house anymore. But outside the door, there are two white lanterns hanging with two big words "Dian" written on them.
There are still a few pieces of yellow and white paper money that have not been cleaned up beside the flower bed and ditch. On the doors of several high-profile households adjacent to and opposite Fan Mansion, there are also several evil-proof objects quietly hung on the doors...
The first seven days have passed, and after the Fan family came here to perform some rituals to pay tribute, they took Fan Jizheng, who was recovering from his injuries, back to their family. The Jizheng Mansion in Fuhai City, which used to be bustling, was completely deserted.
When passing by Fan Jizheng's house, the man surnamed Cui took a look at Ji Zheng's house, and then continued walking forward without looking away.
Encountering two policemen patrolling the streets, the man surnamed Cui walked up to him and said, "Boss, where is the Zhengdao Building in Fuhai City?"
The policeman patrolling the street turned around and felt as if a tower suddenly appeared in front of him.
If you can ask the criminal policeman about the location of Zhengdao Building, then the person who wants to go to Zhengdao Building cannot be a bad person.
One of the prisoners patiently pointed the way.
"Thank you!" The big man surnamed Cui said and walked away.
What a seven-foot tall man? The two Fuhai City criminals looked at each other and couldn't help but secretly cheer in their hearts.
…
The Zhengdao Building in Fuhai City is an eight-story attic. This is equivalent to the Bounty Prisoners' Guild in Fuhai City. It is the gathering place for the Bounty Prisoners in Fuhai City.
In the Zhengdao Building, bounty hunters can inquire about various information, communicate with each other, accept entrusted tasks, or form a team to join other bounty hunters to pursue the characters on the wanted list.
Because a shocking case occurred in Fuhai City two weeks ago, the Zhengdao Building in Fuhai City was quite lively. At this moment, five or six of the ten people inside were discussing the case from a few days ago.
The man surnamed Cui did not enter Zhengdao Tower, but sat down in a teahouse not far from Zhengdao Tower, drinking tea and eating while listening to the storyteller in the teahouse...
