The most unlucky crossing in history

"As the saying goes, dripping water can penetrate rocks, and soft bamboo can defeat strong winds. When you can't use strong tactics, Brother Zhong might as well come up with a strategy of "meeting with soft strength, and overcoming rigidity with softness"."

Fuyue Tower Picking Stars Pavilion.

He Minqing sipped the fine wine in his glass carefully, and squinted at his friend who was frowning slightly.In his opinion, he has only seen this brother for a few days, and all these accidents have happened, the burns from nowhere and the inexplicable bad complexion...

Zhong Qiyun was not happy, and He Minqing roughly guessed from the side effects that this person had encountered a difficult person to deal with.

Not heavy, not light, not far, not near.

He Min, who thought she had seen through the essence of the matter, laughed heartily, which girl did she meet, and made this brother who was calm and steady in doing things so entangled and uncomfortable.

Thinking about it this way, he had the above rhetoric.Seeing Zhong Qiyun looking over, He Minqing laughed again: "The way to deal with women, of course, can't just be tough, but be softer, maybe there will be unexpected effects?"

"Woman?" Zhong Qiyun glanced at He Minqing, knowing that this person was thinking about it, he laughed and said, "Brother He misunderstood..." But because he was confused for a while, he couldn't help asking, where did he think of He Minqing? Minqing thought of this.Just speaking of this, he didn't know how to explain it.

"Forget it," Zhong Qiyun shook his head. He couldn't tell anyone about this matter, and he couldn't explain it clearly. He was upset, but he should do something well.

"Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, what is Brother He's plan?" Zhong Qiyun asked, changing the subject.

"I'm planning... I don't have any ideas right now, I don't know Brother Zhong..."

Seeing that Zhong Qiyun didn't want to say more, He Minqing didn't ask any more. Today, Zhong Qiyun asked him to come out, thinking that maybe he would just chat about trivial matters in life.

"It's already the eighth day of December, and it's time to buy new year's goods. The day before yesterday, I bought five thousand-dan sea-going ships, planning to buy some Jiangnan unique tea, sugar, cakes, bacon, and silk in Hangzhou and ship them to Maojiang."

Maojiang is indeed to the south, and the location is almost quite modern Zhanjiang. Zhong Qiyun knows that the area is close to Guangdong and Guangxi, and it is reasonable to say that the development is not bad, but because it is too close to the north and south, Jiangnan food rarely appears there. Ship it in season... If the goods are sold, they can at least increase by four or five times, which is not a small profit.

"Maojiang?" He Minqing frowned slightly, "That place is farther than Quanzhou Prefecture..." The farthest they have traveled so far is only the north of Quanzhou. Maojiang is too far away, let alone Hailu, just

He had never even been there by land.

"Although Maojiang is far away, there is little rain and snow in the south during this period, and the north wind is blowing. It is a good time to go south. If it goes well, I think it will take a few days to reach Maojiang and sell the goods. "

He Minqing frowned. To be honest, there were a lot of goods on Wusao’s ship. Let’s not talk about where Zhong Qiyun got the money to buy the goods after he bought the ship. Let’s just say that the Chinese New Year is coming soon. If the delivery is not in time... .

"You know, people buy this new year's goods only before the first ten days. It's better to start ten days before the first year, but there are too many unknowns about sea transportation. If there is a slight delay, after a while, those goods of yours will not be sold even if you want to sell them." People bought it, let alone perishable items such as sugar cakes. If they can't be sold, the gain will not be worth the loss. What's more, the goods on Wusao's ship are quite a lot. If there is no buyer, I am afraid they will sell... ..”

"Brother He, don't worry, I have considered this matter myself, and there will definitely be no mistakes this time."

Seeing He Minqing's hesitation, Zhong Qiyun said again: "If Brother He is worried, it doesn't matter if you don't go down Maojiang with me this time. I just thought of this, so I will talk to you. If Brother He is interested, then I will go down together with you." In the past, if you didn’t think it was right, then it’s okay, you can influence this Chinese New Year, if you want to come to Chinese New Year, you won’t be able to come back, I don’t have any relatives, it’s the same wherever you go, brother He should go home, right?”

Zhong Qiyun's words have come to this point, what else can He Minqing do?It's not that he didn't know that if the goods of the five big ships were sold in time, the profit would be huge at that time... He was naturally very excited.

He Minqing smiled and shook his head: "Brother Zhong, what are you talking about? Naturally, I can trust you, Brother Zhong." The last time I encountered such a violent storm, Zhong Qiyun was able to turn the tide at sea, calmly and calmly commanded properly, He knew that this person was not only capable of sailing, but also decisive and steady, so naturally he would not be content with staying in that sea area on a small seagoing ship...

With Zhong Qiyun around, I'm afraid that the money will be within reach.

only......

"Now that you have bought so many boats, it might be all right if you lead the boat, but if you have a new boat, you need a new boatman. Where can you find a boatman and helmsman? You know, there are very few sailors, and even fewer experienced sailors. There are very few of them, and the new year is about to be even more expensive, who will go with you at this time?"

"Brother He, have you heard about the disbandment of the Hangzhou Water Transport Gang?" Zhong Qiyun took a mouthful of vegetables and put them in his mouth.

He Minqing was startled when he heard the words, he had heard about it.

There is a water transport gang in Hangzhou with nearly a hundred cargo ships. The current owner of the boat gang is surnamed Liu, and his real name is Liu Wangcai. He is the third generation head of the boat gang.boat gang

Passed down to his generation, the business is quite good, and he has accumulated a pretty good family fortune.

However, he did get the boat gang a few years ago, because the boat that Liu Wangcai's father took when he went to the mountains of Shuzhou for medicinal materials and goods hit the rocks and died the year before last, so the boat gang has fallen into his hands since then.But this Liu Wangcai has been a playboy since he was a child, he knows everything about "playing", and he is addicted to gambling and singing every night.The boat was in his hands, and he couldn't sustain it in less than a year...

The shipping business was given to another family. After the house and property were discounted to repay the debt, he only got back a thousand taels of silver, and he spent all of the thousand taels of silver in less than a month.At first, he made a living by pawning furniture and objects, and then when he had nothing to pawn, he went around asking for loans.In the end, there was no way to get a loan...and I was beaten everywhere.

Wan Guan's family wealth is not easy to earn, and it can only be squandered in a flash.

"what do you mean......"

"When he handed over the shipping business to others, the Li family couldn't afford it at all. Even if Liu Wang offered him a low price, he still couldn't manage the hundreds of ships. A month ago, he fired many boatmen. The day before yesterday I I'm picking up a lot of them by chance."

He Minqing's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "That's good! Although the Liu family gave birth to a prodigal son, the boatmen are all old men who have been sailing for many years, and they are all good hands."

"Yes." Zhong Qiyun smiled.

Seeing this, He Minqing's eyes flashed again, "Could it be that the Li family also sold a lot of boats? Brother Zhong took the opportunity..."

"That's not true. The sea and the river can be mixed for boatwork, but not necessarily for boats. The boats resold by the Li family can't hold seawater." Zhong Qiyun shook his head.

"So those whom Brother Zhong hired this time are willing to go with you during the Chinese New Year?"

"Of course, whoever is willing can be hired, but I hired a few helmsmen at a high price."

"How many people in total?"

"18 people," Zhong Qiyun looked at He Minqing, and suddenly smiled, "There is also Liu Wangcai among them."

"What?" He Minqing's eyes widened, "Why did you hire him? Do you think you have too little to do, and find a gambler to bet with you on board?"

Zhong Qiyun shook his head when he heard the words: "There are some reasons..."

Liu Wangcai is indeed a hopeless "prodigal son", and his neighbors don't have a good comment on him.But when Zhong Qiyun investigated this matter, he found out some interesting things. All the boats of the Liu family boat gang were built by themselves... and the boatmen and helmsmen were all trained by themselves.

It can be said that Liu Wangcai lacks money and virtue, but no matter how hard he gambles and loses, he has never heard that he bet on his family's boatbuilding skills... What does this mean?

Description

He still has the idea of ​​revitalizing the family business in his heart.

What's more, no matter how bad this Liu Wang is, he also traveled all over the country with Master Liu. If he can run wild in the Yangtze River, he probably knows a lot of high-ranking officials and rich people.Zhong Qiyun actually liked this person...

Naturally, He Minqing didn't know these backgrounds. He shook his head and looked at Zhong Qiyun, not knowing what this person was thinking, and just said: "Forget it, you can decide this matter yourself, but I really can't go with you on this voyage. I have to go back to my hometown...Brother Zhong, are you going to eat the cargo of five big ships by yourself this time?"

Zhong Qiyun nodded.

He Minqing pondered for a moment, then said: "Then if I buy two more ships full of goods and let you take care of them all, would you like it?"

"If brother He can trust me, I will naturally be willing."

He Minqing thought for a while, made some calculations in his heart and said: "If the goods are sold, excluding the cost, I will share [-]% of the profit, how about it?"

"It's feasible." Zhong Qiyun refilled He Minqing's wine while speaking, and said: "Brother He shows such sincerity, then I promise you that if there is a mistake, I will take responsibility."

He Minqing clinked glasses with Zhong Qiyun when he heard the words, and smiled at each other: "Brother Zhong is really refreshing!"

Have a meal and talk happily.

On the tenth day of December.

The genius was bright, and at the mouth of the Qiantang River, seven sea-going ships stopped quietly.

After checking the cabin, goods, sails, rudder, etc. one by one, and confirming that they are correct, Zhong Qiyun stood at the bow of the ship, raised his hands high, and shouted loudly: "Anchor! Yang Fan!"

"Oh—!" Two or thirty people shouted in unison.

On the outskirts of Hangzhou, Xie Wenyuan looked at the two small jugs sent by Zhang Hong in his hand, and said, "Go to Maojiang?"

"Yes." Zhang Hong said cautiously.

Xie Wenyuan was confused, and after a while, he hooked his lips and said with a smile: "It seems that the burn is easy to heal, but within a few days, he started to toss like this."

Maojiang is far away, and this person will not return to Hangzhou during Chinese New Year.

"..." Zhang Hong didn't know how to answer, so he just kept silent.

Xie Wenyuan didn't say any more, and shook the two wine jugs in his hand, one was obviously empty, but the other was full of wine, and he could smell the faint aroma of wine before he opened it.

"He's here?"

"Yes, in the front hall now."

Xie Wenyuan nodded, put down the wine bottle in his hand, turned around and said: "Then let's go, we can't make His Royal Highness wait any longer."

After saying that, he strode out of the study.

When he arrived at the front hall, he saw a black brocade robe with dragon patterns, but it couldn't hide the dusty people, so he bowed his hands as usual, "I don't know that His Royal Highness has arrived, and I'm not far away to welcome you. I'm really terrified."

It's just that as soon as these words came out, the prince in front of him was not as heavy as usual, and his warm eyes were looking at Xie Wenyuan darkly and sharply at this moment.

"Did you catch him?" In Daqing Dynasty, the crown prince, who is under one person and above ten thousand people, said so coldly.
