Chapter 242: The Sea of ??Clouds and Sails (2)
A tall seat is placed near the bed. The seat is made of gold, with a gold-inscribed tiger skin on it. You can see the scenery outside when you sit on it. Sun Yi is sitting on the gold-inscribed tiger skin seat, his eyes are empty and blank, as if he has lost his mind. A bronze silk carpet is laid in the center of the living room, and eight pear blossom tables and sixteen pear blossom chairs are placed around it. These furniture are as tall as the gold seats, and look grand and luxurious. There are six calligraphy and paintings hanging between the windows on both sides of the ship. Each of them is a masterpiece of calligraphy and paintings of the masters of Wenshan today. Just take one out and it is enough to set up a luxurious house in the center of Haizhou City.
When Su An came in, Sun Yi was still stunned. "Shopkeeper, Wan Zhengcheng asked me to bring you this thing." Su An's calm and gentle tone broke the silence in the boat building. Sun Yi slowly raised his head and took a lazy look. At the moment he saw Si Jin, his eyes suddenly showed a strange look, "Pick it up."
Sun Yi's reaction was completely beyond Su An's expectations. He was stunned for a moment before handing over the silk brocade. Sun Yi unfolded the silk brocade and his eyes began to swim above the silk brocade. After a moment, his face became cold.
"Tell Qiu Fu that he could free up a piece of space on the starboard side to let Wanzheng hold goods, but remember that our goods should be separated from his ones apart." Sun Yi's words were very short, and he did not explain, because he never explained it. This caravan was founded by him, and he had always had the final say. No one had ever raised any objections to his decision, because he never accepted other people's suggestions.
Su An retreated. At this time, Sun Yi sat up straight and looked at the deck outside the window in a calm manner. Wan Zhengcheng suddenly raised his head and looked at the second floor of the ship building, but he only saw the red veil. However, the chill on his body had already told him how terrible the person in the ship building was.
The cargo ship set sail one hour later, leaving the noisy dock, it really drove into the east-flowing sea with a huge wave. In the cabin, fifteen boatmen were rotating around three huge wheels, each pushing a crossbar with a thick arms in his hand. These crossbars looked particularly heavy. If we calculate the weight, each crossbar needs at least four horses to pull, but after the star patterns were engraved on these devices, they became one person to push. Judging from the relaxed and comfortable appearance of the boatmen
The weight seems to be similar to pulling a bellows. The real reason is that these boatmen are all star pattern soldiers. They have the power of star pattern matching the star pattern on the device. When their energy is injected into these crossbars, the star pattern on the transmission device will be stimulated one by one, increasing upwards in multiples of one by ten. When the force is transmitted to the axles of huge steel alloy blades at the bottom of the water, the force has increased ten times when it is increased, which is enough to drive the cargo ship to fly.
Such ships are not uncommon, but not many can afford to employ so many star-patterned soldiers as boatmen, so Sun Yi was able to gain a foothold in Haizhou, where merchants were everywhere and became the most powerful man.
Wan Zhengcheng was sitting in the boat with Sun Yi drinking tea, and he seemed a little restrained. Sun Yi seemed to have not seen it, and talked about some business matters very casually. Wan Zhengcheng became even more restrained. Although he had put some time to learn about a lot of business matters before, the things in front of Sun Yi became useless, so he didn't know how to respond, so it turned out that Sun Yi was talking alone for most of the time.
Perhaps because of the tension, Wan Zhengcheng couldn't help but want to drink tea, so the tea in the cup was very low, but Sun Yi looked happy and always stopped at the right time to add tea to Wan Zhengcheng.
"Brother Wan sent fur goods to Haidian Town this time, probably because he was interested in the silk in Haidian. The silk there is good, and even Haizhou is a hot item. Transport some of them can not only make up for the losses in fur goods, but also make hundreds of gold and thousands of gold."
Wan Zhengcheng knew that this was Sun Yi's intentional test. Sending fur to Haidian was a loss-making business. He didn't explain it and stopped. This method was not something that anyone could do. He couldn't help but sweat in a cold sweat, sorting out his thoughts before saying, "Shopkeeper Sun is worthy of being a talented man in the business world, and even Wan's thoughts were seen." He wanted to relieve his tension through laughter, but the laughter seemed very dry, because Sun Yi said next: "But the silk there was controlled by the court and could only be bought through the government. I believe that Brother Wan and the Jiedushi had a close relationship, otherwise the warrant..."
Sun Yi wanted to speak but stopped, with a smile on his face. Wan Zhengcheng naturally knew what he meant. What he gave to Sun Yi through Su An was a handwritten letter written by the Haizhou Jiedushi. If it weren't for the words in it, "Any ship can do it cheaply." I think he would never be able to get on Sun Yi's ship. Although "doing cheaply" is not a compulsory act, Sun Yi knew what weight the silk-brown Shanghai Jiedushi's Jiedushi had. He was engaged in maritime trade, and Haizhou was a hub of maritime trade. You can imagine what difficulties his business would face if something went wrong with Haizhou.
"To be honest, I went to sea this time and was just someone entrusting me to transport some silk from Haidian to earn some errands. It doesn't matter. You should know that for some people, even doing business, there are many inconveniences." These words were the words of the warrant. Wan Zhengcheng had practiced countless times, and even he had studied each sentence for a long time. At this time, it sounded very smooth, but also had some demeanor.
Sun Yi could hear that there was a clear official accent in Wan Zhengcheng's words. He vaguely felt that Wan Zhengcheng's identity seemed not simple, and from this point of view, Wan Zhengcheng's hiding identity seemed to have another purpose. He was a businessman, so the first thing he thought about was his business. According to his guess, there were at least two possibilities for Wan Zhengcheng to board the ship. One might be that the governor of Haizhou fell in love with his business and wanted to get some benefits from it. He was inconvenient to come forward in person and pretend to do these things. If this is the case, there were two possibilities. One was that Wan Zhengcheng took action to kill the entire caravan on the way and put them on the ship.
All the goods, as well as gold and silver, and then sold the fur, and even the cargo ship, taking away all the benefits. One is that Wan Zhengcheng is a fake business, but in fact he wants to give all the goods to him and get rich rewards from him and leave with satisfaction. Obviously, the first possibility is very small, because even Wan Zhengcheng calculates only seven people who boarded the ship together. Moreover, according to his perception, these people are extremely ordinary men except Wan Zhengcheng approaching the realm of Ningxing. The second possibility becomes very large. Wan Zhengcheng acts as a pig and eats as many benefits as possible from him.
As a businessman, as long as he can use gold and silver to settle things, he will never use other methods, because in his concept, gold and silver are like flowing water. Today and tomorrow, as long as he is right, the gold and silver will one day return to his pocket. Moreover, he is already a rich man in the world, so what if the whole ship of goods is given to Wan Zhengcheng! What he is worried about at this time is not that Wan Zhengcheng takes away his wealth, but that everyone will worry about - life.
In addition to the possibility of robbing others, the other possibility is that the goods brought by Wanzhengcheng are very expensive, and they must be covered by his ship and then transported the goods to a safe place. But he couldn't think of the Haizhou Jiedushi holding heavy troops and anything else, even he had to transfer his fortune mysteriously, and he had to rely on the hands of others.
Although he was full of doubts, he said, "I don't know if Master Wan has any other plans besides this business?" Wan Zhengcheng was shocked when he heard this. If he hadn't been on guard all the time, he had already said Sun Yi's words, but the three words "Mr. Wan" almost made him very familiar and said, "I am in charge of the court, but I am inconvenient to tell you some things."
Wan Zhengcheng smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Sun thought he had made a mistake. I am not a 'adult', but just a businessman." Sun Yi said panic: "Sun was wrong just now, I hope Brother Wan will forgive me!" How could Wan Zhengcheng not see that Sun Yi was prepared for a long time, and even his words were just right. Even the moment when Wan Zhengcheng hesitated just now, Sun Yi was already confident in Wan Zhengcheng's identity. He was not a businessman, nor a scholar, but a soldier.
