Chapter 49 Merchant Fleet

On the seventh day of the third month, the wind is calm.

Today is the day when the merchant ships in Heilin Township arrive. The people are very excited. They pick up prepared seafood early in the morning to trade with familiar merchant ships.

On the pier, there were rows of merchant ships lined up, crowded with people.

The dock is in chaos and orderly, and under the guidance of the servant, everything is in order.

With more transactions, rules have basically been formed.

There are several merchant ships that specialize in collecting meat and other seafood. No matter what the people coming want to buy, they will first send the seafood and weigh the money. Then the people will use the money to buy what they want.

The advantage of this kind of transaction is that merchant ships can make money twice in one round.

The people couldn't see it, they just felt it was convenient. Besides, over the years, this rule has been like this, and no one dared to raise objections.

Heilin Township is located in a remote location, and there are only one or two caravans that can take care of here.

Therefore, it is completely a seller's market, and this is also helpless.

Behind the merchant ship, a particularly large cargo ship, the shopkeeper in charge of the transaction was standing on the bow of the ship with his hands behind his back, looking at the scene on the dock from a distance, and his brows gradually frowned.

"Come on, let's ask how you're getting today?"

After giving the order, a servant ran away immediately. After a while, the servant quickly came back to report: "The shopkeeper, everyone in front said that the quantity of goods received this time was not large, only about 1/3 of the usual ones, and the necessities such as salt tea we brought were not sold much.

Especially the salt, it was not sold at all!"

When I said this, the servants felt it was a little incredible.

You should know that merchant ships are not just for Heilin Township, but for a whole line.

I have to stop at least ten times along the way. Although they are all remote areas, it is good to make a profit by accumulating a small amount.

It’s not driven by profit, who can run to this remote countryside?

Now that this situation has happened, Manager Liu naturally needs to pay attention to it.

Manager Liu pondered for a moment, "Where is Lingfeng? Let him call his people up. It's time to work. Find out what's going on!"

"yes!"

The servant ran down quickly.

After a moment, a small boat swayed to the shore, and several people with different images walked down.

There is a slutty young man with a gentle face, a taciturn worker, a graceful and beautiful woman, and a loyal and honest housekeeper. It is a hodgepodge at a glance.

The few people got off the boat and dispersed, and then merged into the crowd after three or two turns.

These people are obviously veterans inquiring about information. They are very clear about what role they play. They never do things in a good way. While speaking and doing things make others feel comfortable, they will involuntarily say a lot of important information.

After collecting a certain fragment, several people will quickly meet and integrate the message fragments. Then, with the integrated message verification round.

Only after this did the accuracy of the message be preliminarily determined.

About an hour later, the wanderer came back first.

"There are only a few things!"

The wandering young master sat crookedly on the Taishi chair, holding a cup of tea and kept pouring it hard.

Manager Liu is not surprised, "Tell me in detail!"

"About half a month ago, a new general came to Heilin Township. Today is no different. Later, after everyone worked together to repel a bandit siege, the people's chaotic thoughts were conquered by the new general.

Later, another tavern was built, and the general took out salt and exchanged goods for them.

This leads to every household not short of salt!”

The wandering young man shook his head: "Shopkeeper, Heilin Township is aborted. No matter what happened in the past, Heilin Township also had a population of thousands of people. He could buy several ships of food, drink, defecation and urination every month.

There are only a dozen households left now, and there are only more than a hundred people added together. There is really no need to waste time and travel!

I also heard a news that two days ago, several merchant ships came to Heilin Township to make a trip.

The people have bought almost the same things they should buy. Now the oyster meat and other seafood they have come to exchange are all made in the past two days, and there are not many in quantity."

Manager Liu's heart moved when he heard this.

"Do you know which merchant ship it is?"

"I don't know very well. I asked a few people, but there was no exact answer. I just said that a symbol like this was drawn on the ship!"

As he said that, the swinging man drew a strange symbol on the table with his hands.

Manager Liu's face changed drastically, and he said in a hurry: "Are you sure you're not drawing the wrong one?"

The swinging young man shrugged indifferently: "The news was found out by Zi Yatou. This is what she drew for me."

Manager Liu said: "Is there a place called a tavern in the town? Is the shopkeeper a man or a woman?"

The swinging young man said strangely: "How did the shopkeeper know? He is a woman and looks pretty good!"

Manager Liu suddenly stood up and said with a solemn expression: "Transfer my order and the transaction will be terminated! All ships set off immediately!"

The rogue man was stunned: "So serious?"

Manager Liu said: "Do you know what this symbol represents? Do you still remember seeing the miserable situation in Mingyang City?"

The slutty young man turned pale and said in a trembling voice: "Is it them?"

Manager Liu focused on the key point: "It's them! This time they are targeting Heilin Township!"

"Oh my god! Hurry up, ask the people below to pack up quickly. Let's stop doing business, leave quickly and leave immediately!"

The slutty young man stood up and yelled at his servant. Before he could explain to Manager Liu, he rushed out again.

After the order was conveyed, there was a panic on the dock. After a cup of tea, the fleet hurriedly left the dock, as if something was chasing it, rushed out of the harbor in a hurry.

Tavern in the town.

Yuanyue was wearing a light yellow lady's outfit, and was flipping through a booklet.

A woman in a light blue dress with a short knife in her hand strode in her hand, standing outside the bar, lowering her head slightly.

"Sister, the fleet has left in a hurry!"

Yuanyue smiled slightly and said softly: "It's a clever one."

The woman in the blue skirt curled her lips and said, "These merchants have no other skills, but they have practiced their skills to avoid misfortunes!"

Yuanyue stood up: "Since even the merchants know the news, it seems that the Pierce of Sun has been doing a lot recently, and this is to intimidate us! How are the sisters preparing?"

"According to my elder sister's instructions, all the weapons accumulated over the past two years have been transported over. Even if the bastards from the Pueraria are all out, we can hold on!"

"It's better to do this. We have been waiting for a long time this day! It's time to avenge our previous shame!"

The woman in the blue skirt said excitedly: "Yes! Sister!"

"I just don't know if the general is back..."

At this moment, another woman in blue skirt walked in and reported: "Sister, Butler Zhao asked me to notify you, saying that the general is back and said he wants to see you!"
