"Bang bang bang..."
The noise around him started again. Seeing that no one was listening to him again, the clerk standing on the table felt helpless. He had no choice but to pick up the weight and pan again and started banging desperately.
"Shut up! Anyone who dares to shout again should stop thinking about it! I'm not afraid to tell you that the imperial court has limited funds, but there are not so many ships and supplies for you to waste. You all want to go? That doesn't necessarily mean you can't go. ! Hurry up and get in line first!"
Accompanied by the roar of the clerk, a strange scene soon appeared on the dock:
In front of the Shibosi wooden house, a long queue composed of various people appeared. This long queue started from the door of the wooden house, meandering, and extended to the high wall outside the dock.
Moreover, as time goes by, this long queue continues to increase in length, because people are coming from the city one after another and hurriedly joining the queue.
"Xiao Han! What are you going to do! The people on the dock are not working anymore, they just want to go to Fuso Country! My candy has just been shipped out to two ships, and now it has stopped again!"
In the city, in the yamen of the headquarters of the Municipal Shipping Department.
Xiao Han was wrapped in a fur coat and stood guard by a tumbling stove. He hummed another line in his mouth: "After eating pickles and rolling tofu, I am not as good as the emperor."
Unexpectedly, before the tofu was in his mouth, the door was pushed open with a bang. Then, a man burst in angrily. Xiao Han was so frightened that he almost threw his head into the tofu pot.
"...仡...Brother Pu Pu?"
Patting his little heart that was beating wildly, Xiao Han looked at the person who came in in surprise: "What kind of wind is this, blowing you here?"
"What wind? Cold wind!"
Pupu was originally annoyed because the candy in his hand could not be sold for a long time. Now when he saw the culprit hiding in the room leisurely eating hot pot, he suddenly felt the fire rising in his chest, almost almost Break through his Tianling Cap too!
I saw him walking into the room with a dark face, and then sat down opposite Xiao Han. He stared at him angrily and said, "You'd better make it clear today, did you do this on purpose?" ! The weather is so cold this year, and the people in my Jiuxiang Eighteen Villages are waiting to sell sugar in order to exchange for some food and cloth for the winter! But at this juncture, you are instigating people to find Fusang Country, why don't you go find it? Buzhou Mountain?"
"Buzhou Mountain? Wasn't Buzhou Mountain knocked down by the Water God?" Xiao Han didn't notice the difference in Gupu's face at first. He grinned. As soon as he answered casually, he realized that something was wrong around him. Why did the room suddenly become different? So cold?
"Ahem, you're kidding! The search for Fusang Country is all nonsense by my subordinates. By the way, this idea came from County Magistrate Zhang. If you have anything to do, you can go to him!"
Xiao Han shuddered and realized that the murderous aura was lingering. He immediately changed his mind and sold Old Man Zhang clean!
If County Magistrate Zhang was nearby at this time, he would definitely jump up and strangle Xiao Han to death here.
"I don't care who came up with this! I want to sell sugar quickly! Buy food." It was obvious that Gupu didn't believe Xiao Han's shirk of responsibility, and glared at him and growled with gritted teeth!
In the past, when winter was about to come, the people in their Miao village would always organize young people to go on several large-scale hunts in order to hunt some prey for fur, meat, and animal sinews.
As for the women in the village, they will not be idle. They will rush to the forest to pick some mushrooms and fruits before everything withers away, so that they can live more comfortably in the winter.
But this year is different from usual. With Xiao Han as a stirring stick, all the people in their village are busy making candy and have no time to stock up on food!
However, the weather this year is even colder than before. Seeing that it has just entered winter, it is extremely cold at night! If there is no more food coming in under this situation, then he, the patriarch, will probably have no other option but to take the blame and commit suicide!
"Just sell sugar. Don't you have a boat? If it doesn't work, we don't have to go to Jiangnan to sell it. We can also sell it to Guangzhou..."
Opposite me, Xiao Han's voice became softer and softer, because he noticed that Gupu's face was getting darker and darker. In the end, he was almost the same color as the bottom of the pot...
"Those of my ships? Didn't you bring all of my ships to be renovated? You still charge me for the remodeling fee! As for selling them to Guangzhou? Those profiteers are so evil that they gave me less than half the price. ! If you sell it to them, you can exchange it for one hundred kilograms of grain, but now you can only exchange it for fifty kilograms. We must not lose our lives!"
Pupu gritted his teeth and roared. It's not that he had never thought of selling the candy locally, but he couldn't bear it. Guangzhou was not rich at this time, and it couldn't compare with Jiangnan! There are only a few people who can afford sweets. The rest are businessmen who are greedy for money. They are like leeches, trying to get into you and suck your blood!
"Ahem..." Xiao Han thought of the time he cheated to buy a boat, and felt a little guilty. His eyes couldn't help but glance around: "Ahem, the predecessors of those ships were pirate ships, and they couldn't hold too much. The cargo can't carry too many people, and apart from running fast, it has no other benefits. You have also seen that if other merchants buy ships, don't they have to dismantle and rebuild them? As for the fees, I only charge the cost. "
Pu Pu looked down at Xiao Han with cold eyes and squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "I don't care! Come up with something for me!"
Xiao Han gained courage, spread his hands, and rolled his eyes: "What can I do? I can't go to the dock and tell them to wait for a while and then go to Fusang Country after finishing the work, right? By then, the wind will change. , those people will never find a place in their lifetime!"
"Oh? So you have no choice?" Seeing Xiao Han's unwillingness, Gupu suddenly sneered, and then reached out his hand behind his back.
"Scared! What are you going to do!" Xiao Han was startled by Gupu's action. He subconsciously slid back a few steps. After keeping a safe distance from Gupu, he saw clearly that he was not trying to pull something out in his hand. What kind of murder weapon? Instead, he took out a piece of grass, a piece of grass that was yellow and dry, with fat leaves!
"This is..." Staring at the strange grass in Gupu's hand suspiciously, Xiao Han's doubts flashed across his face, and then, the doubts disappeared, replaced by a strong look of ecstasy. !
"Huanghuayan! This is Huanghuayan! Did you really find it? Where did you find it! How many are there?"
Staggering and rushing back, Xiao Han's eyes widened and he was ecstatically trying to reach out for the strange grass in Gupu's hand.
"Wait a minute!" Unexpectedly, before Xiao Han stretched out his hand, Gupu had already taken the "strange grass" back.
"Want it? Sell me some candy first!"
