Chapter 112 Linyun
Sunny world.
The morning light was dim, Duan Yu's soul returned to his orifice, stretching comfortably.
Immediately, I walked out of the room and started my daily breathing practice.
‘Well, after a trip to the underworld, the soul has indeed increased slightly. Although it is only a little bit, it is much better than letting the body slowly feed back...’
He sighed and said to himself: ‘In addition... the method of promoting the growth of the soul seems to have also been found. Sure enough... it is consistent with my previous guess!’
The previous City God banquet ended in an unhappy way.
Even so, both sides did not turn against each other, but maintained a decent peace. After Duan Yu patted his butt and left the ghost city, he calculated the time and returned to the sun.
After he finished breathing, he looked at the courtyard and couldn't help but smile.
Xiao Jingfeng and Yu Jingbai are worthy of being the true teachings of the Taoist sect, and they have not lost all their daily skills.
Qin Feiyu even got up early and brought a group of little brothers to practice morning exercises.
On the other hand, several female members, under the auspices of Guo Bairen and Ye Zhiyu, had already prepared a hot breakfast, with very sticky rice porridge with oily surfaces, as well as Hu La soup and fist-sized steamed buns. In addition to side dishes, there were also large pieces of fat pork that could be eaten in the steamed buns.
Qin Feiyu and other groups of men were hungry after sweating profusely, and they were just hungry after drinking several times.
Other families were drinking porridge silently next to them, which was very lifelike.
After breakfast, Duan Yu called Qin Feiyu: "Although the brothers in the gang mostly fight and kill, there are at least a few people who are not good at bravery. Let's distinguish them first and then use them with measurement. What do you think?"
"Okay... Among them, Jiang Bao and Cheng Jin were originally my personal soldiers who had experience in battle formations. Unfortunately, Xue Zhen and Gaogang are also good..."
Qin Feiyu sighed.
According to Duan Yu's previous plan, the elites in the Koi Gang were sent to the army for training in the name of Qin Feiyu's personal soldiers.
However, these people's qualities can only be considered as a good person. Not to mention Gaogang, even Xue Zhen, who is a young general, is inferior to that.
"Xue Zhen, you can also try writing a letter to recruit you. Takaoka should not think about it..."
Duan Yu said with a cold face.
Then, 80% of Takaoka will become an anti-king role in the future, so how could he be taken into his pocket?
What's more, behind this person is the Daxia Dragon Court. Although it may be just a chess piece to be used, what is the relationship with him? Haha...
Since he learned that the Great Xia Longting was the real black hand that caused his death in his previous life and a series of disasters in Baihao Mountain, he has become irreconcilable with this force.
"Then I'll try it. If Xue Zhen can be called, it's good... but we can't expose our stronghold at will." Qin Feiyu obviously liked the boy very much, and then said: "As for Yang Cai and Yang Weiping, they have a weak in nature and are not suitable for martial arts. However, one is good at math and the other is good at reading and literacy, and can go to literary ways."
"I think so too. When the weather starts in spring, everyone will move to Donghai County. I plan to bring a group of people to find out the news..." Duan Yu said directly: "Among them, Xiao Jingfeng is the contact person with the Baihao Mountain forces, and he has to take them. In addition, if you choose a few people, Yang Cai and the others will also take them. Let's go to the port of Donghai County to take a look."
As for women, it is definitely not convenient to get on the boat rashly at this time, let alone the widespread discrimination and taboos in sailors, so they do not bring any of them.
Duan Yu was more relieved to leave them and have a Guo Bairen who had experienced some color.
"Okay! When will we set off?"
Qin Feiyu asked immediately.
Since he gained power, he has deeply understood a simple truth. A real man must not be without power for a day!
Although I don’t mind losing my life with Duan Yu, I was still very pleased to see Duan Yu’s quick start plan.
"We will set off right after seven days of rest!"
Duan Yu made a quick decision, and suddenly his face became a little weird: "Also, remind others that Xiye City is not peaceful, especially be careful not to worship the mountain god casually, because there is a mountain god, which is transformed by the vixen..."
"What?" Qin Feiyu widened his eyes and was very surprised.
...
Donghai County, Linyungang.
This is one of the few deep-water ports in Dongchen. If you look down from a high altitude, you can find that on its side, two pieces of land stretch into the sea like horns, blocking the strong wind and huge waves, and drawing half of the inner lake.
Every year, countless ships set out from here, loaded with silk and porcelain, and went to the East China Sea Islands or the South for trade. Even though the loss rate is extremely high, a round trip is at least beneficial to the principal. If the gods favor it, it is not impossible to make a profit of several times or even dozens of times!
I don’t know how many wealthy merchants from the north gathered here and formed a huge market. The goods sold in various shops ranged from cloth, silk, jade jewelry, tea and pastries, porcelain and earthenware, to ivory pearls, spices and gemstones... almost everything.
Such a huge place for goods to be distributed has attracted a large number of merchants, known as "all the workers are everywhere, and there are no gatherings, and all the treasures are gathered in the world." Almost half of the sea-to-sea trade in the entire north was released here. Therefore, the Dongchen court set up a Maritime Warehouse Department, and every year he could earn millions of taels of silver in Linyungang alone.
At the edge of a market, Heiji blinked and yawned boredly.
Although Linyungang was said to have arrived at its peak, the ocean-going voyage was not an easy task.
First, we must consider the ocean currents and wind directions. It cannot be as simple as a straight line on the chart. Immediately, we must consider avoiding several famous sea beast groups and mastering their migration rules. Finally, we must calculate the tonnage of the ship, the clear water and food that can be carried, and several supply points along the way.
This is not the old sea dog who has been traveling to the sea all year round and is proficient in the inside story. It is impossible for a ship to sail in full and go back with luck.
This is the freezing period, and the ocean currents are not right, so there are not many ships, which is a rare time to relax.
As a coolie porter, Heiji unfortunately lost his job. He didn't want to go hungry and could only wander among several markets to serve some outsiders, hoping to get some rewards, and at least he had to solve the job of the day, right?
At this moment, his eyes lit up and saw a group of people getting off from several carriages.
The leaders were several luxuriously dressed young men, followed by strong and strong guards, looking at the market with novelty in their eyes.
Based on his years of experience in reading people, when he saw this group of people, he was sure that the other party had never been here before. It was a group of local buns from the inland!
Of course, just from the clothes, you can know that this group of people is either rich or noble. If they are sweet-mouthed and happy, they may be rewarded, which is his favorite type of guests.
But before Heiji got up, he saw another black-haired man leaning forward.
The other party had a black face, a tiger-back and a bear waist, like a bear. At this time, he tried hard to squeeze out his smiling face, making his face look less ferocious, and he couldn't help but hate: "Bear Heizi, you robbed my business again!"
This great man is named Xiong Hei, and he is a neighbor on the same street as him. He often carries big bags together as coolies.
However, Ping Er was born with a skinny and poor appearance, but Xiong Hei was strong and even though he was a coolie, he was much better than him, which made Ping Er grit his teeth secretly.
Fortunately, the guide's business was unable to take him away!
After all, such a fierce and vicious man said with a smile that he wanted to lead the way. Nine out of ten people thought he was trying to trick people into the corner of the street to rob!
On the contrary, for a thin bamboo pole like Ping Er, which seems to be blown down by a gust of wind, outsiders are much less prepared.
Therefore, Ping Er immediately put on the most flattering smile and greeted him: "Where do you want to go? The young Ping Er has been struggling in Linyungang since he was a child, and there is no place I don't know!"
Duan Yu looked at the cute Xiong Hei in front of him and the very flattering Ping Er, and couldn't help but laugh without saying a word.
"We are guests of Baiyun Chamber of Commerce and do not need a guide!"
Xiao Jingfeng stood up and waved his hand.
Baiyun Chamber of Commerce is the caravan in Baihaoshan. It is not large in scale, but it is also one of the time-honored brands.
After hearing this, Xiong Hei and Hei Er knew that the group of people were prepared and could not help but look disappointed.
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, the noble young man in the middle spoke: "I am very interested in this place. You will take me around later. Your rewards will be indispensable."
"Okay, thank you, young master! Thank you, young master!"
The sound sounded like the sound of nature, and Hei and Hei bowed and thanked each other repeatedly.
...
"This is Linyungang..."
Qin Feiyu sniffed: "So prosperous, is it just off-season?"
In addition to the shops close to the dock, the most popular ones here are brothels, red houses, and restaurants and gambling houses. The business seemed to be quite prosperous, which made him sigh.
"Food and sex are also nature! If those sailors do not go to the sea, they must be promising. Besides, those who do such a life-long business always have a bit of a timely pleasure..."
Duan Yu smiled and said, not caring about it.
"This young master said very well, those maritime merchants are famous for being rich! They are not inferior to those salt merchants!"
Ping Er smiled so hard that he could not see the eyes, and he flattered his mind.
In my spare time, I glanced at Xiong Hei, who was silent next to me with pride and said that I would compete for business with me unless you reborn again!
He paused and asked again: "Do you come here to have fun or are you going to do business?"
"I heard that the sea trade is profitable, so I was naturally ready to rush to the sea!"
The businessmen of this era are not very expensive, or they dare not bet on all their lives. As long as Duan Yu searches carefully, there will always be a chance to add a bunch of money and learn. At that time, he can legitimately put people on the boat to observe and learn.
