Chapter 68 Sailing in a thousand-foot wild waves
Chapter 68 Thousand-foot waves set sail and the clear breeze rises to the court
There were flying snow and breaking waves, and the sail was about to sail away. This was the first time that the Fifth Sister saw with her own eyes the appearance of the ship that was going to sea to do business with foreign countries when it left Quanzhou Port.
After traveling hundreds of feet and thousands of miles, it merged into the sea clouds and turned into a small boat. At the place where the sun was rising, there were the huge waves that were slightly higher than the boat. The fifth sister looked at it and was a little dazed for a moment.
There was something sad and lonely in such a vast scene, but it was not the first time that the second brother saw it. He turned around and said with a smile: "That's how business is. If it doesn't go smoothly, if it encounters the strong wind, it will be overturned.
I’m afraid I’ll lose everything.”
"But the money you make from all this going in and out is not something you can easily imagine." Even if the second brother has never seen things like shipwrecks with his own eyes, he must have heard a lot about them, and now he doesn't feel pity for them.
The meaning of what happened to those people was just a sigh.
"This kind of business is much more profitable than doing small business in Lin'an City. Since you have chosen this extremely high return, you will naturally have to pay less... the merchants who went to sea with the ship will also have to lose their lives."
"It's not that these crew members don't know the dangers involved, but after all, it's easier than fishing or farming. No matter who you are, you have to try it and take a gamble. What can happen to thousands of people?"
Can it happen to you?"
The fifth sister naturally understands what the second brother said. It is never fair to use the power of ordinary people to make bets against the nature of the world.
Water and fire are ruthless. Every year, how many tourists who watch the tide on the Qiantang River are swept into the river and their lives are lost? How much more to make a deal with this thousand-foot wave?
The fifth sister knew that if it weren't for the sake of making life at home a little better, who would be willing to take such a huge risk and gamble on the misery of not being able to return and not even being able to leave behind the last words?
"Okay, if this goes well, everything will be considered fine when your official comes with good news." Now everything is fine, all we need is the east wind. As the elder brother, the second brother naturally hopes that the fifth sister will be more and more prosperous in the future.
go well.
Looking away, the second brother suddenly remembered something and looked at his fifth sister with a bit of solemnity: "Now I'm just afraid that the profiteers over there from the sixth sister will cause trouble..."
The sixth sister is different from the fifth sister in that she is softer in temperament. The latter could help her a little in Lin'an City, but now there is no one to help her. If something happens to her, it will be a bit difficult.
"This was an agreed-upon business, but the master and apprentice changed hands and sold it to someone else!"
Good things may not come true, and bad things really come out of nowhere...
The profiteer just pretended that no one noticed the dirty deeds he was doing behind his back, or maybe he thought that Mrs. Li's master and apprentice had never sued the officials, so they must have no evidence in hand, so he was so rampant that the evildoer complained first and slapped him down.
Report the master and apprentice to the government.
"I originally bought this Luo at a price that exceeded its retail price, and now the master and apprentice have violated their original agreement..."
"Those, those buyers who have made arrangements with me, uh, bought the property, are now coming to me to ask for an explanation. They also asked the officials to make the decision and ask the master and apprentice to fulfill the contract and pay compensation!"
"Please ask the senior official to make the decision for me!"
In fact, on the day they made their choice, Sixth Sister and Mrs. Li had already made plans to go to court with this profiteer, but they didn't expect that he would actually have the face to sue the officials.
But now that the master and the disciple have evidence in their hands, there is no need to be afraid that the profiteer will not admit it. They can just let this person show his ugly side, and then use strong evidence to defeat it one by one.
"Do you have any physical evidence for your agreement?"
"Naturally." This profiteer's performance was not natural at all. He was dripping with tears. He was so eager to prove himself that he could speak the entire sentence smoothly.
"Call the witness." As soon as the official sitting in the hall opened his mouth, a witness came to the hall holding a three-foot long Luo in his hand.
