So, the fastest update of the sun and the moon!

<br/>> show_htm2 (); At the end of the first month, the three cargo ships are walking slowly from west to east.

The Zhao family business team was detained in Yuguan, and the news naturally passed out quickly.

The Liaodong merchants who purchased goods in the Guanzhong were not in the case of the Liaodong merchants. After Yuguan was controlled by Long Ruijun, many businessmen were not clear about the situation for a while, and they really did not dare to leave the customs easily.

Fortunately, the Zhao Family Corporation became the head of the head.

The Zhao family is the strongest businessmen in the eighteen square in the north. The demand for the goods is extremely large. Zhao Taiyan was in a hurry and took the lead in the case of hiding military weapon. After the Liaodong merchants who have always paid attention to the trend of Yuguan got the news, they were cold back.

No one is a fool.

The merchants in Youzhou kept exiting the customs, but they detained the Zhao family. Everyone understood what was going on.

The businessmen in Liaodong know that if they continue to go out of the land, they will enter the tiger's mouth.

The Zhao family's goods were detained. Once the Zhao family was really swallowed by Long Ruijun, the Zhao family would collapse.

The value of hundreds of cars is naturally a huge number, and even the Zhao family can bear such a large loss.

Other businessmen are unbearable.

The owners of the eighteenth house in the north are anxious. These businessmen and the grassland have a trade agreement. Many goods have paid the deposit. If the goods are not delivered on time, the reputation is naturally damaged, and it is easy This conflict with the grasslands.

At that time, a large amount of liquidated liquidated damages was over. Those grasslands were extremely grassland and looked very heavy. Once the goods were not handled, a large number of grassland merchants made trouble in Fucheng. The consequences were unimaginable.

Although the real owner behind the 18th place in the north is the Liaodong Army, once a conflict with the grassland tribe due to the breach of contract, in order to ensure the stability of the trade in Fucheng, it will inevitably throw out the dishonest merchant as a scapegoat to ease and the grassland. The contradictions of businessmen.

After all, Shangjiande is that the owner of the eighteen squares in the north is never the same.

Land roads are obviously unable to take risks. The only way is to take the sea road.

Sea Road needs merchant ships, and the cost of hiring merchant ships is by no means a small number.

To go to the sea, large merchant ships are bound to be, and the most experienced sailors should be equipped on the ship. There are not many such numbers, and the competition is very powerful. The price will be better, which is more than double the cost from land.

If it is not in a hurry, the general businessmen will not increase costs from water routes.

However, the situation was forced, and a group of merchants in Liaodong helplessly hired three merchant ships, and a large number of goods carried a large number of goods from Hangzhou Bay to Liaodong Changsheng Port.

Among this group of businessmen, Qian Jia and Wanzhang's goods have the most goods, and the costs bear are also big.

Seeing that it was going to be in February, the climate on the sea was still cold. Both transport shopkeepers were wearing thick cotton coats, with fox fur caps, and looking at the sea on the east side.

Starting from Hangzhou Port, even if you do n’t rest day and night, you need to arrive in Changsheng Port for half a month. Every day, there are a lot of costs.

"The general watched the surname Qin blocking Yuguan, but there was no slightest movement.

Wan Yan's shopkeeper saw no one, standing on the bow, and smiled bitterly: "If you keep walking the sea in the future, our expenses will greatly increase, and this profit will be small.

The shopkeeper was also sad, sighed: "What can the general? Qin's surname Qin deliberately found faults, how did the generals come forward? After asking about business and trade? If the surname of Qin is sinister, if the Liaodong Army comes directly, he will be afraid to be caught by him and participate in the general court.

"Are they not having to make black mountain trade places?"

Wan Yan sneered.

"This is where he was cunning.

Qian's shopkeeper said: "Everyone knows that there is Long Ruijun behind the Heishan Trading Square, but it is nominally handled by the Army.

I heard that the Army Division was set up to provide logistics for Long Ruijun and was responsible for money and food equipment. The power was very greater.

A cold sea breeze blew on the face, and Wanzhang's shopkeeper couldn't help wrapped his clothes, and smiled bitterly: "The future will become more sad.

Long Rui defended Yuguan, and the goods of the Heishan Trading Square were unimpeded. However, we had to transport goods from the sea, and the cost increased. After that, Fucheng and Heishan played a price war, and we could not take advantage of any cheap.

Those barbarians on the grassland are rough and ignorant. Who will go cheap to who will go, how can we fight the people of Heishan? "

"This is the fatal.

The shopkeeper sneered: "Qin Xiao rescued the life of many family businessmen in Jiangnan, and these people had a good relationship with him.

I have asked in Hangzhou that many businessmen in Jiangnan have prepared to travel to Heishan to trade. The caravan that exits the customs trade. Except for the cargo dealers in Fucheng, other carava goes in and out of Yuguan.

After looking at Wanzhang's shopkeeper, he sighed and said, "Our goods are purchased from Jiangnan merchants, because the generals of the generals over the Northeast businessmen have been able to enter the Northeast trade directly in the Northeast businessmen. As soon as the field is opened, these people can trade themselves. How do you say we can fight them? "

Wan Yan's shopkeeper shook his head and whispered: "I and the Ma Dong family in Yangzhou also talked about this.

Ma Dong's family said that Hangzhou Ximen's house managed the Heishan Trading Field, and Ximenhao told many Jiangnan merchants in private that when he went to the Heishan Trade Fair to trade, he only needed to pay some commercial taxes. Long Ruijun would not let them pay other money.

The Ma Dong family also said that the tax payment would not be too high, and because of this, many Jiangnan businessmen Jiasheng rushed to go there.

Raising his hand to follow: "Look at us, you have to deliver a large amount of silver every year, plus the profit of collecting heavy taxes and earnings, six or seven Chengdu is taken away by the Liaodong Army. Now Qin Xiao comes again. In this way, the more popular our business will do in the future, the greater the loss.

"Still thinking of red fire?"

The shopkeeper laughed with a disappearance: "We are now the cicada of winter. How long can we live? It is not concealed. After this batch of goods is delivered, this year's brand may have to let go.

"Qian Dong's family is not ready to do?"

The shopkeeper sighed: "Look at what the next situation is.

At the end of February of each year, the license plate expires, and it is necessary to pay the card to renew the card, and there is a monthly time. If the situation is not good, you can only let it go out.

"I felt that I couldn't sit at the Liaodong army.

Wan Ye's shopkeeper whispered: "If this goes down, we will lose heavy losses, but the most damaged is the Liaodong Army.

In the past, there was only a piece of fat in Fucheng in the Northeast. The Liaodong Army was exclusive. Now he jumped out of the Heishan Trading Square. "

He sneered, and said, "Qin Xiao is young and vigorous. Since the leader of the army, he is tit -for -tat and tit -up with the Liaodong Army.

Qian's shopkeeper said: "You can't forget, there is a" dragon "in the middle of this dragon Rui army. It is a sage.

Looking at the sea, he slowly said, "Without it, the general will never act lightly.

"Isn't the surname Qin relying on the sage's favored, so it is unscrupulous in the Northeast?"

Wan Yan's shopkeeper hummed coldly: "There is no tolerance, no need to endure.

The general and the Liaodong Army are now patience. When they can't bear it, Qin Xiao is coming.

The shopkeeper was about to say, suddenly his eyes widened, but his eyes looked at the southeast, his eyes straight.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the money shopkeeper suddenly gone no sound, Wanzhu's shopkeeper was a little strange. Looking at his eyes, he saw the sea on the southeast direction, and a few black shadows suddenly appeared. The sea boat is coming here.

The shopkeeper turned immediately, looked up at the mast, and said loudly: "There is a boat in the southeast!

There is a special look at the mast to observe the situation on the sea, and the watches have loudly said: "See you!

Immediately shouted: "There are boats in the southeast, and boats appear in the southeast.

This person's voice was loud, and the shout spread far away.

There was a footsteps of footsteps on the boat.

A rough man with a tall horse was surrounded by a group of Jinyi sailors and quickly came to the bow.

"Boss Joe, it's there.

Seeing that the brave man appeared, the shopkeeper was very polite and raised his hand to the southeast direction.

One of the reasons why the merchant ship is expensive is that the merchant ship is equipped with a bodyguard. These people are both sailors, but once they encounter danger, they can immediately become the bodyguard of the boat.

Datang implemented a knife hunting order, and the people were not allowed to hide military weapons.

However, these merchant ships are registered in the government. The background of the sailors on the boat will be registered in the book. When it comes out of the sea, the merchant ship owner will report to the government. The government will also approve a small amount of weapons on the ship.

If these weapons have to be used, they will naturally not use it, but once they meet the sea king at sea, they can use the guard.

In the early years, the stolen Kou cluster at the sea, and a lot of merchant ships were really washed. To this end, the court not only dispatched the Jiangnan Marine Army, but also mobilized the Donghai Water Division to go north to the bandits. Cracking, the thieves at sea in recent years have disappeared.

Boss Qiao looked at the southeast direction, and then turned to make a gesture at the sailor on the mast. The sailor immediately picked up the two small flags and compared with a few times.

After a while, the sailor said to the bottom: "It's back there, let's stop. They have to be friends with us and happy to talk about wine!

Boss Qiao said: "Tell them that we are the people of Uncle Jiang, Hangzhou Tiger Hall, and rushed to the road. This time it was inconvenient.

If they want to drink, we invite alcohol and let them send someone to get alcohol. This friend still has to do.

The sailor played the flag again.

After a while, the sailor said: "They said that we would not delay us for too long.

Boss Qiao frowned, his face became dignified.

"Boss Joe, what's going on?"

The shopkeeper and Wanyi shopkeeper looked at the boss Qiao's look dignified, and suddenly a little nervous. The shopkeeper scared: "Will you really meet the sea kou?"

Boss Qiao hadn't spoken yet, and the sailor screamed on it: "There are boats in the southwest, and boats in the southwest!

Boss Qiao didn't talk nonsense, and quickly ran to the field side.

When I got on the side side, I looked up to the southwest direction. Sure enough, there was a dark shadow that appeared there. Those ships looked like two wings, and their wings rushed towards this side.

"Blow the number!

Boss Qiao said sharply: "Take weapons.

Turning his head and glanced at the two shopkeepers, sneered: "Qian shopkeeper, you are right, we are lucky, really meet the Shanghai pirates!
