Under the vast night, the three-masted sailboat was like a huge monster, shaking the waves and moving forward. The sailboat was very dripping, causing the waves to shake the Scorpion. Li Mengshen stood on the deck, looking at the giant boat, without any concealing his appreciation for the giant boat, and sighed: "With this boat in Dengzhou, where is Kong and the dog thief arrogant?"

A harsh squeak sound was heard from the three-masted sailboat, and the huge anchor of a thousand kilogram was thrown into the water. The sailboat finally stopped when the cable was pulled down. Li Mengshen quickly ordered the Poison Scorpion to lean over. The Poison Scorpion was flexible and slowly approached the giant boat against the current. Finally, a few ropes were thrown from the giant boat, and the sailors on the Poison Scorpion were firmly tied to the cable post, and put down the rope. Li Mengshen pulled the rope, jumped up, jumped into the giant boat, and shouted: "Brother Yinglong, have you brought the wine?"

"Do you want to drink the best Jiangling Zhang Ji Chenji?" Li Mengshen's familiar voice came from the giant boat, and he was shocked: "Lord Dian Shi is here too?"

Lin Chunhong laughed: "Prepare to go to Yangzhou and take a look at your brothers, how is your business recently?"

Li Mengshen looked carefully. Li Chongde, Zhang Daohan and Gu Xiulin were all on the boat. He didn't bother to answer Lin Chunhong's question and said in surprise: "So many people are going to Yangzhou? Are you going to visit the kiln?" After saying that, he felt that his words were vulgar, and slapped himself, laughed and said, "Hehe, my dog ​​can't spit out ivory."

Everyone was made of laughter by Li Mengshen and invited them to walk into the cabin together.

This time, Lin Chunhong took Li Chongde and others to Jiangnan. On the one hand, he was preparing to inspect the feasibility of building a warehouse in Yangzhou. In addition, he was also preparing to visit Qu Shisi in Changshu to enhance his relationship with the Donglin Party and Fushe. He was also preparing to inspect the silk weaving industry and cotton industry in Suzhou and Songjiang, and provide reference for the establishment of a spinning and weaving workshop in Bailizhou.

Yangzhou is the intersection of the Jinghang Canal and the Yangtze River. The market is prosperous and there are many business travelers. Yu is expanding business in Jiangnan. Yangzhou is the first stop. The general manager of Yangzhou’s cargo warehouse has been selected and designated as Gu Xiulin.

Lin Chunhong believes that the workshop owners in Bailizhou are now weak and cannot improve their technology at all. Given the high demand for cotton cloth, he decided to set up a spinning workshop and weaving workshop himself, hoping to guide the development of the cotton textile industry.

As soon as the prefect of the Jingzhou prefect Mokan was transferred to another office, Zhang Daohan was unwilling to leave Jingzhou and continue to be an aide, so he was invited by Lin Chunhong to go to Jiangnan together.

"The famous capital of Huaihai is far away, and Jiangnan is hidden across the Southern Dynasty. The green mountains reflect the trees in Guazhou, and the fragrant grass slants to the Yangzi Bridge. The towers of Suiyuan are fascinated by the morning mist, and the flowers and moons of Wu Palace are sent to the lips. The Bian River is full of new willows, but the east wind is still the hatred of the east wind has not faded." Yangzhou is approaching, Zhang Daohan stands at the bow of the boat, looking at Yangzhou from afar. Li Chongde and Lin Chunhong have never heard of this poem, and they ask where the poem comes from. Zhang Daohan smiled and said, "Cheng Wozi in Songjiang is famous in Jiangnan. The two are busy with affairs, so it's not surprising that they don't know!"

Li Chongde sighed: "The people in Jiangnan are outstanding and well-known, especially in Susong area. How can you focus on poetry and lyrics and what is the use of the people?"

Zhang Daohan smiled and said: "The rich culture and prosperity of culture are the embodiment of people's livelihood stability, and they are indispensable to each other."

Lin Chunhong heard it and was secretly funny. Li Chongde and Zhang Daohan were all the way, and they were not convinced by each other and often argued over some issues. Lin Chunhong understood that Li Chongde advocated practical learning, while Zhang Daohan advocated spiritual learning. He did not say that fundamental contradictions were fundamentally opposed in terms of fundamental ideas, at least there were very big differences. Therefore, Lin Chunhong never joined the argument between the two, but just changed the topic at the right time so that the relationship between the two would not be too stiff.

At that moment, Lin Chunhong shouted: "Yangzhou is here, the boat is about to stop!"

Li Chongde and Zhang Daohan held their mouths and looked up the river bank. They saw that the green willows were shady on the river bank, and the beauty was unparalleled. As the winch rotated rapidly, the giant anchor penetrated straight into the water, firmly grasping the rocks, and fixing the giant boat in the middle of the river.

Gu Xiulin was puzzled and asked, "The boat will not dock?"

Captain Li Yinglong said: "The ship is too big, and there is no pier suitable for docking in Yangzhou, so he had to stop in the middle of the river."

"How do you get the goods ashore?"

"I have to use a small boat to transfer it!"

Gu Xiulin and others were dumbfounded and murmured: "Isn't this too troublesome..."

As ships of goods were transported to the wharf, the entire Yangzhou caused a sensation. Citizens and passing merchants all ran to the wharf to watch the giant ship and point fingers at the giant boat. It is no wonder that Yangzhou has never seen such a huge river boat in a century, so it is no wonder that people are surprised.

When they heard that the giant boat came from Jingzhou, the citizens couldn't stop talking. When could Jingzhou build such a large boat? So, when Lin Chunhong and others landed on the shore, they immediately became the focus of people's attention. This made Li Chongde and Zhang Daohan very uncomfortable, and they just felt like they were sitting on pins and needles and wanted to hide immediately. Lin Chunhong and Gu Xiulin were very excited. Such attention would have many benefits for quickly opening up the situation in Yangzhou. The most special thing is Kong Yinglong. This kid suddenly became the focus of people from the Jiang bandit. His inner pride was indescribable. He stood tall with his chest and walked with his eight-character steps. His eyes were higher than the sky, and he wanted to tell everyone: "Look, I am the captain of the giant boat!" Lin Chunhong looked carefully and found that Kong Yinglong had moved his hands and feet, so he quickly pulled him to remind him to pay attention.

The huge influence is indeed beneficial to the sales of goods. The Xilan Cap brocade and Rongmei Green Tea suddenly became the hot spots of transactions in Yangzhou. Merchants everywhere asked where to buy local specialties from the mountains. Because they did not understand the Yangzhou market, Lin Chunhong brought several goods with better sales performance in Yuezhou and Jingzhou cargo warehouses. However, the cargo capacity of the three-masted sailboat was as high as more than 3,000 materials, and almost acquired all the local specialties, which made Lin Deshao and Peng Xin complain, lamenting that this year's performance will decline sharply.

Lin Chunhong was not worried about the source of goods at all. If the goods were scarce, the output will naturally increase significantly next year. What's there to worry about? When the output increased, Lin Chunhong could naturally decide which to buy goods from the chieftain, so that he would firmly control the chieftain? Lin Chunhong was very excited when he thought of this. It seemed that the natives had already paid taxes and rents under his command and followed his orders to fight in the north.

What made him particularly happy was that the Xilan Cap brocade and green tea opened up the market in Yangzhou, and then radiated to the north and Jiangnan through Yangzhou. The sales volume was of course incomparable to Jingzhou and Yiling. Isn’t the money also coming in such a rush?

Zhang Daohan was not familiar with the goods. After arriving in Yangzhou, he visited everywhere and paid tribute to the ancient sites. Lin Chunhong and others were busy and took half a month to complete the goods. The last statistics made Gu Xiulin very optimistic about the future of the Yangzhou cargo warehouse: the profit of the whole ship of goods reached 63,000 taels of silver!

Lin Chunhong left all the proceeds from selling goods to Gu Xiulin, with a total of more than 100,000 taels of silver, and ordered: "Don't be afraid of losing money. You will also see the prosperity of Yangzhou. This is our focus in the future!"

Gu Xiulin understood that the Lin Group was now tight in funds and was grateful for Lin Chunhong's generousness. At that time, the investment of Jingzhou warehouse was only more than 30,000 taels of silver, but this time, he left 100,000 taels of silver for him to squander. No one felt a heavy responsibility.

Lin Chunhong continued: "In Yangzhou, we have to establish good relations with Hui merchants. They are the real local snake here. Family businesses are spread throughout the Ming Dynasty. The business involves cotton, tea, salt, pawns, rice..., tea and cotton. We will compete with them more or less. Take a look and see where we can start from."

Gu Xiulin said in surprise: "I started to compete with them? This is difficult. It is said that they are all doing business together with each family and have very strong funds."

"Let's share the small profit first. The disputes will inevitably be avoided. You must be prepared. We will go to the Huizhou Guild Hall tomorrow. When we come to Yangzhou, if we don't visit Wang Dajun, how can we do business?"
