11. Jianghan E-washing business

With Aunt Yu's order, the shipmen blew the conch and beat the bronze drum on the 9,000-stone hull ship. From a distance, they sounded like a giant whale in the sea water roaring.

Under the bow of the ship, several monks from Aunt Yu's fleet sat down, folded their hands together and muttered words. Then the shipmen burned fire paper, flew ashes all over the sky, and shouted to "People's Officer" to protect the safe journey.

"We must be safe. In this journey, there is no aunt Yu in Huaixi, and no aunt Yu, there is no Huaixi!" Ming Huaiyi saw with his own eyes that after Aunt Yu finished speaking, she cut her finger with a dagger and formed an alliance with the divine sage in her mind.

The so-called Poguan is the legendary Feng Shen Meng Po, who is the most believed by all living beings on the Yangtze River.

“Since March, there are bird letters…

Since May, there is a letter of wheat...

July and August, there is a letter!"

With these rough horns, each of the long oars on Aunt Yu's boat was shaken by several strong boatmen, and they were rowing like centipede's feet in the river waves. Then the wild fox sail began to rotate nimblely and the boat drove away.

Then the entire Xingyuan Prefecture, Xiangyang City and Jiangling in Jingnan, were all fleets. Thousands of sails competed and hundreds of boats competed. They began at the gathering entrance of the Xijing River and the Han River, and merged into one. The drums were loud and the next stop was set off in Ezhou City.

At the same time, to the southwest of Yicheng, a cavalry from the east of Shannan Road appeared on the land route to Jiangling Prefecture. They were exhausted. Because this road connects two major hub cities, Jiangling and Xiangyang, the residential hotels were also particularly prosperous. When the cavalry got off their horses and stood in front of the well water, the daughter of the owner quickly stepped forward and served food and drinks to the children. After the cavalry had eaten enough, they activated the war horses and continued to rush to Jiangling Prefecture quickly, with the purpose of delivering news to Fan Ze!

This news was jointly issued by the Daming Palace in Chang'an and the Zhongshu Sect, from Shangluo to Xiangyang, and then from Xiangyang to Jiangling Prefecture.

Soon, the governor of Jingnan and Jiangling Yin Fanze received an order and flew out the document: "Go out of all states to unite their children, go to Jingmen to arrest salt merchants from Huaixi, and search for the goods they had stored in the residence. No mistakes should be made!"

Almost when the official army fleet entered the Yangtze River from the Han River and arrived at the city of Ezhou, the Eyue Capital Group trained the envoy and the Wuchang Army governor Li Jian had also received the news, so he called Yang Ping, who had been pardoned and returned to the town, and "The court has urgent orders to arrest all the salt merchants in Hanyang Town."

Yang Ping, Liu Zhen had noticed it, so he asked for instructions and said, "Is this really?"

"Once, I could turn a blind eye in the past, but now I can't." Li Jian said, "Originally, several towns in Shandong, Jingnan, Eyue, Hunan, and Jiangnan West Road did not produce salt. They were all from the southeast of the Jianghuai River and came here to sell sea salt. Since Wu Shaocheng's separatist rule, shipping has been repeatedly robbed and killed. So the identity of merchants who can still come to Jingmen, Hanyang, Yicheng and other places every year is not difficult to guess."

It is not difficult to guess, because they all have connections with Huaixi Town: the profits they earn must be paid to Wu Shaocheng, and in addition, they will also purchase some scarce supplies for Wu Fang Town, such as silk cloth, medicinal materials, wood, grain, etc.

"Now the imperial court has restored Helong, and the Duzhi Department has integrated the salt of Hezhong, Hedong, Shuofang, Longyou, Sanchuan and Bakui. The Secretariat of the Secretariat Gao Yue, and the Secretariat of the Sect, Lu Zhi, had previously reported to the Holy Lord that he wanted to return to Jijingxiang and Eyue with western salt to cut off Wu Shaocheng's hands and feet stretching out toward him."

"Then after that?"

"That's right, the western salt approved by the Duzhi Department has a unified cloth bag packaging and a quotation for sale. If there is no salt merchant, salt and even salt-stacked house, they are all considered as counterproduction in Huaixi, and are confiscated!" Li Jian's words were full of unquestionable ingredients.

So Yang Ping and Liu Zhen quickly took the order, and then led the soldiers of the Wuchang Army in Ezhou City to run towards Hanyang Town on horseback.

Quickly, Hanyang, a prosperous business town with countless numbers in the world, was full of soldiers arrested and searched everywhere. Some merchants were dragged out of their houses, while others were locked when they were about to escape on a boat. Then they were arrested and tortured in prison, crying, "We have given Li Sanqi before..."

But before he finished speaking, the whip that struck him to the face came over.

Most people do have contacts with Wu Shaocheng and Li Shigu, but this was originally a normal business, but whoever wants the court to turn against Li Jian will turn against you!

For a time, most salt merchants in Yicheng, Jingmen to Hanyang, the three most important commercial towns in the Jianghan area, suffered a catastrophe. Not only were the people detained, but the goods and the house stacks were also confiscated.

Instead, the salt merchants who came by boat from Xingyuan, Xichuan, Dongchuan and Kuifu were all honest and legally operated. They had certificates and salt instructed by the Duzhi Department. The salt they transported not only had a unified cloth bag packaging, legal logo, and also had a particularly good quality, especially Shuofangling, which was the green and white salt in the salt area, which tasted better than the salt in the Southeast Sea.

With the armed violence of the Jiedushi of the towns, the salt merchants in the west quickly swept across the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and the merchant group supported by Huaixi behind the scenes was suddenly beaten to "hemiplegia", and their people, wealth and business veins were lost.

Several lucky merchants escaped and hid in a mess in the wilderness on the banks of Ezhou. Then, taking advantage of the night, they ran towards the south gate of Huaixi and Anlu City like rabbits.

Anlu City is located in the boundless Yunmeng Ze, with countless water alleys, swamps, lakes and grass and wastelands. This is also the hidden abyss of the thieves in Huaixi. Countless small boats and nest caves are listed: the thieves in the river robbers were robbed and killed by water and land, and the goods obtained were sent back to the Yunmeng Ze hundreds of miles and handed over to Huaixi natives or merchants to "sell stolen goods".

After the escaped merchants entered Anlu City, the local Huaixi Town will hurriedly deliver the news to Caizhou.

But before Wu Shaocheng reacted, Aunt Yu, Yi Shen, Zhang Xi and Wang E's huge fleet had already been replenished in Ezhou City, and began to break into the most dangerous "Jiang Bidder Forbidden Zone" and Qihuang area.

Here, the river bank was covered with towering ochre or red and yellow stone cliffs, with strange trees standing on it. The earth trenched on the outposts of the river thieves were looming, but they were hiding behind the autumn grass. When they saw this endless powerful fleet, they were still scared to breathe and dared not ignite the fire to report the news, because no matter how many river thieves came out, they could not intercept the pace of the official fleet:

At the house of Yu, three tower ships of eight or nine thousand stone were standing in front of them, with all the wings of thousands of hu boats, like stars surround the moon;

Wang E's cassette was on both sides of the ship that monitored Xingyuan and Jiannan to transport supplies and flags and sticks, and lived in the middle;

Yishen's warship was located behind and took on the responsibility of cover.

The third section of the fleet, tens of miles from the beginning to the end, was full of oil and fire hanging on the masts, just like a marching magnificent force in the galaxy!

At the bow of the boat, Aunt Yu took out a flute. This flute was made of smoke and bamboo, as hard as iron and stone, and then blew, loud and erected throughout the clouds on the river. Guided by the sound of this flute, all the damage of dragons, crocodiles and other things can escape from it.
