The most unlucky crossing in history

Zhong Qiyun still overestimated Dazhu's mailing system.

The previous two times when I sent letters to Xie Wenyuan, it was because Xie Wenyuan had special "carriages and hands" in the local area to transmit information, and Maojiang is relatively remote, no matter whether it is economic, political or not. Xie Wenyuan naturally wouldn't put his subordinates here, wasting human resources.

Therefore, Zhong Qiyun can only pin his hopes on the ancient station.But he didn't expect that although there was a post station in Maojiang, on the first day of the new year, the streets and alleys were closed everywhere, and there was not even a shadow of this post station.

After finally finding a local on the street to inquire about it, he was even more desperate after asking.

Although there is a post station in Dazhu Kingdom, this post station is fundamentally different from the modern postal system.Although they all belong to the national organization, the mailing of the Dazhao Post Station is also a type of official document, which is not for civilian use. In order to ensure the speed and purity of the mailing of official documents, Dazhang has regulations. It's as simple as removal from office.Of course, occasionally some officials take advantage of such power to send letters, which is tacit approval.

For private letter delivery, there is only one way now, and that is to ask acquaintances to help carry the letter.

This method requires the right time, place and people. First of all, someone must go to the place where your letter is sent.Secondly, I also hope that God will bless him to arrive safely and not lose the letter or get wet and spend it.Thirdly, there is no contact information, and the person carrying the letter must be able to find the person to deliver the letter.

As the so-called "family letter is worth ten thousand gold", it has such a meaning.

But now... Zhong Qiyun looked numbly at the paper and a large package in his hand.

"My lord, don't say it's ten taels of silver, even if it's a hundred taels, I'm afraid no one will go out now. There are very few people going out in Maojiang, and most of them go to the state capital, then go to Hangzhou city There are almost none, it's too far, it's too far."

In the ancient times where the transportation was extremely inconvenient, except for the merchants, in Maojiang to the south, it would take a long time for a famous family to go to Hangzhou City, and the journey would take more than a month to go there, let alone ordinary people.

Now it seems that even if he has money, he can't give it away.

Of course, in the future, in order to be able to deliver letters and gifts to someone anytime and anywhere, Zhong Qiyun specially set up a private post house to seize the opportunity to occupy an industry by the way.

At this moment, the idea of ​​"the postal system in Daqing is extremely backward" deeply took root in his mind.

Zhong Qiyun, who was carrying the parcel and returning the same way, was extremely, extremely, extremely agitated.All of a sudden, there is a pain of having nowhere to spend your strength, and nowhere to spend your money.

When he returned to the courtyard, before he had figured out what to do with the package of his letter, there was already a regular customer waiting for a long time in the mansion——Zhang Zhenfeng.

They also brought a group of people from Zhancheng.

This time, he really came to discuss business with Zhong Qiyun.

If someone came to talk about business sincerely, no matter what Zhang Zhenfeng's usual behavior and habits were, doing business naturally weighed interests, and Zhong Qiyun would naturally not refuse.

After inviting people to sit down and discuss for a while, Zhong Qiyun frowned slightly, "You said you were going to ship furniture to Zhancheng?"

Zhancheng is in the south of the South China Sea, and that is a foreign city.

"Yes." Zhang Zhenfeng said: "These are the merchants who came to my Zhang family to buy wood. The goods were transported here in a horse-drawn cart the day before yesterday, but they didn't know that they didn't have enough boats. If they bought boats and hired boatmen... ..." Zhang Zhenfeng sighed: "But no boatman is willing to go to Zhancheng."

"..." Zhong Qiyun naturally knows that there are few people who only go to the coast for business nowadays, not to mention that there are very few people who need to cross Qiongyang to go to Zhancheng, and even though Maojiang is near the sea, But there is no sea caravan, of course there are no ships, but even though there are no ships, the boatman...

Zhong Qiyun raised his head and looked at Zhang Zhenfeng, who was obviously still hiding, and said with a smile: "Master Zhang's words are wrong, Maojiang is close to the sea, and the residents here almost rely on this Qiongyang for their livelihoods. Although there are no large ships, there are no large ships. Boatmen are still everywhere."

Zhang Zhenfeng choked, and after a while he squinted his eyes and smiled and said, "Forget it, I know I can't hide it from Brother Zhong, so I'll just say it straight, this Qiongyang is no better than Dazhu's borderline sea, because the sea route to Zhancheng needs a lot of time." I have crossed several foreign countries, Brother Zhong, I am afraid you know, how can those foreign countries be as rich as ours? Naturally, they are very poor, and there is no one to eat as many people are full. People, as long as they are like this At this point, of course I don't want to die..."

When Zhang Zhenfeng said this, how could Zhong Qiyun not understand?

A small country near the sea, what can you do if you want to plunder?Only stolen.

I'm afraid that there are often pirates in the sea area away from Dazhu, that's why Zhang Zhenfeng came to the door.

"You mean, there are pirates?"

"Exactly."

Zhong Qiyun chuckled: "Young master Zhang thinks that I, Zhong, don't hesitate to die, or do you think my brothers are so strong that they are willing to go there knowing that pirates are rampant?"

Zhang Zhenfeng's phoenix eyes are curved, "Although there are pirates, the sea is vast, so we may not meet them.

Aren't these Zhancheng come here safe and sound?Moreover, what Brother Zhong said just now is humility. Among the people I have met, brothers like Zhong and you are the most courageous. "

Zhang Zhenfeng's words are naturally flattering, but they are indeed sincere. Although he is young, he has learned a lot from Zhang Sixue since he was a child. Who hasn't seen it?However, he had never met a resolute, calm and transparent businessman like Zhong Qiyun, and after he knew about this person in Hangzhou, he asked his subordinates to inquire. This Zhong Qiyun was indeed capable of navigation. Yue's trip coincided with the changing sea situation and encountered strong winds and waves. Finally, he also returned to Hangzhou safely with the boat.

Therefore, this time he really believed that Zhong Qiyun had this ability.

However, Zhong Qiyun smiled, ignored the flattery, and said directly: "I have already planned to go to Qiongzhou in the next year."

When Zhang Zhenfeng heard this, he was a little anxious. His transaction was priceless, and he said that the tables and chairs made of golden nanmu and red sandalwood...anything was a masterpiece.

During this period of time, he had played too much, which made his father unhappy. If he didn't take advantage of this opportunity this time and keep these few merchants in Zhancheng stable, he was afraid that if he went back, the southeast property at hand would be moved again. Some big brothers who have been peeping at him for a long time.

On the other hand, if this business can be achieved, it will not be difficult for him to ask his family for business along the Pearl River.

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Zhenfeng became even more impatient. This opportunity could not be lost here. He had been promised by these Zhancheng people at the beginning.

"Qiongzhou...Qiongzhou is near here, and I think it will take less than a day to get there, but Zhancheng is different." During this period of time, Zhong Qiyun's purchase of silk was of course in his eyes. He is also a businessman. It is natural to guess what this person thinks.Zhang Zhenfeng said again: "I know that you want to send those silks to Qiongzhou to sell at a high price, but have you ever thought that neither you nor I know what the situation in Hangzhou is like now. If Hangzhou City is not blocked, then the silks will not be safe this time." The price will increase. Instead of waiting for the opportunity, it is better to send it directly to Zhancheng. As far as I know, no one has sold silk in Zhancheng these years. If it can be transported there, it must be more than ten times higher!"

"Naturally, it was also done by fate."

After hearing this, Zhang Zhenfeng didn't know that it was just an excuse?I couldn't help snorting, "Brother Zhong, I don't believe what you said. If you say you use your life to gamble, you won't succeed in sailing at sea. Isn't it a gamble with your life? Don't say that pirates are rampant in the near sea.

, but it is not to say that there is no such thing. Could it be that you have never considered these things? "

Zhong Qiyun smiled, this pillow looks flashy and ambitious, but in essence he is also a person with a clear mind, no wonder that Zhang Sixue is so valued.

As Zhang Zhenfeng said, since he decided to ship by sea, he is not afraid of death, but even so, he has prepared all the safety preparations that should be done one by one. The more he is not afraid of death, the more he cherishes his life.

In fact, he thought about crossing the sea and going to foreign countries when he was traveling by sea, but it is not now. He originally planned to wait for a year to get familiar with the coastal roads here in Dazhu, earn more money and buy ships before expanding to foreign countries. .

What he never thought of was a pond with a few ships, he wanted to occupy this shipping market early before others woke up.Therefore, he really needs money now.

Ten times the price of silk... Zhong Qiyun was naturally moved.

But Zhancheng is a little far away. He originally planned to go back to Hangzhou by land immediately after returning from Qiongzhou...

His eyes dimmed, Zhong Qiyun drank a few sips of tea, and then slowly said: "If I agree, how much money will Mr. Zhang prepare to pay?"

Zhang Zhenfeng was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said: "If it can be done, it will be fine."

"Wan Liang?" Zhong Qiyun laughed loudly, "Young Master Zhang is very generous. I don't know how Mr. Zhang will react if he finds out about your business."

Zhong Qiyun's words were a little impolite, and the implication was that Zhang Zhenfeng was a prodigal, and it cost him ten thousand taels to hire a few ships, which was just giving money instead of doing business. The owner of the two silver coins is no, if Zhang Sixue finds out, Zhong Qiyun is afraid that Zhong Qiyun will make a big loss.

Zhang Zhenfeng narrowed his eyes: "Of course it's not my Zhang family's account."

Zhong Qiyun raised his eyebrows, is this going to pay out of his own pocket?

I'm afraid that if the business is successful this time, for Zhang Zhenfeng, there will be more benefits behind it, right?However, Zhong Qiyun was not interested in these matters and would not ask too much. Since someone sent money, he just accepted it.

Thinking of this, Zhong Qiyun smiled again: "So, please give me a day, Mr. Zhang. I have enough crew members but not everyone is willing to go. I have to ask everyone's wishes, and there are still some things that need to be arranged. After making sure everything is safe , I will give you an answer tomorrow."

Zhang Zhenfeng happily said: "Naturally. Since that's the case, Brother Qiyun, please call me Zhenfeng, Mr. Zhang is very natural."

Zhong Qiyun smiled and said, "Young Master Zhang, you are being polite."

Zhang Zhenfeng didn't care, turned around and saw the parcel letter on Zhong Qiyun's desk, it was when he was waiting for Zhong Qiyun just now, he saw him enter the door with it, after thinking about it, he guessed why, and said with a little teasing: "Those are Zhong Qiyun Brother is going to send it to Hangzhou? Oh, I don’t know who De Qiyun misses it so much that he never forgets it during the Chinese New Year.”

Zhong Qiyun frowned when he heard this, "What does it have to do with you?"

As soon as Zhang Zhenfeng heard this, he knew that this person was angry, and after thinking about it, he had a good deal with him, and it was not good to talk about it, so he thought about it and said: "What I mean is, if Qiyun doesn't mind it, I can trust me." The subordinates will help you send it to Hangzhou."

"That's unnecessary."

With Zhong Qiyun's refusal, Zhang Zhenfeng didn't have much to say, and the matter was almost settled, and he still had other things to do, so he took the merchants from Zhancheng and said goodbye without further delay.

When the people left, Zhong Qiyun walked to the table, staring at the package of things, a little dazed.

He wanted to go back to Hangzhou, especially after hearing that the city of Hangzhou was blocked.

However, when Zhang Zhenfeng appeared just now, he clearly recognized the fact that even Zhang Zhenfeng, a son of the family, could do nothing about what happened in Hangzhou City, let alone him.

During this period of time, the northeast wind has never stopped?Even if you come back from Qiongzhou, is that impossible?Then how does he go?Go land?Then leave those seven big ships here?

He has a few thousand taels of silver in his hand, so what if he goes to Hangzhou now?

No way, he can't do anything now.

What's more, he thinks that for a person like Xie Wenyuan, the matter of Hangzhou City is not a difficult matter for him, right?Thinking of this, Zhong Qiyun shook his head and smiled, he really had a sick mind, and he was worried about the safety of the person whose heart was more serious than the sea.

The sun gradually set at some point, and the sky began to dim. After Zhong Qiyun came out of the room, he called everyone together loudly.

The author has something to say: Thanks to all the waiting partners! ! !It's my fault for making you wait so long. I don't even know what I'm doing during this time, but I'm back! !Let's continue tomorrow! ! ! ! ! ! !

As I told everyone on Weibo, the failure of my work and life during that time caused me to be extremely painful and even entangled. To be honest, I am writing the most unlucky time travel in history. I have read a lot This book, because I am not a major in this field, has some things to learn before I can write it, but the data in this book is actually not good. I feel less and less confident. No, I even stepped back step by step, went downhill step by step, and kept you all waiting for so long, I don't even know what happened to me.

Here is a sincere apology to everyone: Sorry, I failed everyone's love and expectations some time ago.

I also want to thank everyone: thank you for waiting for me, thank you for liking Zhong Qiyun.I like Xie Wenyuan, I see it away, what kind of data does he care about!Just like what I said to everyone on Weibo: I think when I wrote about the flower shop owner, there was no one there, and I happily wrote it down, so I should use the energy I had at that time!As long as there are people looking forward to this story, I will write it, and even if there is no one, I will write it!Because I myself want to tell it because I like it! !I will work hard! !Babes!I love you (づ￣3￣)づ╭～
