Gongshuping has shown enough sincerity.
He didn't raise an army to investigate, but came with a discussion mentality.
The compensation of one thousand taels is not too low for Xiao Daqian.
Moreover, he also told Xiao Daqian two days ago that he had no malicious intentions.
He just wanted to invite Xiao Daqian to visit Xiake Island, and he also promised him a reward of five thousand taels of silver.
Xiao Daqian did not agree at that time.
Because Gong Shuping refused to say what he wanted to do by inviting Xiao Daqian to Xiake Island.
Of course, there is another reason, that is, he promised Lin Nanzhun to help build the Duan Family Inn.
Seeing that Gong Shuping looked very pious, Duan Wenjun felt that he had already come to his door, and he was so sure that he was here that he might not be able to shirk him forever.
If I offend them, I'm afraid it will end badly.
At this moment, Mo Shoucheng suddenly said, "I wonder what the second master wants to do with Mr. Xiao?"
Hearing this, Gong Shuping suddenly showed an embarrassed look on his face, "Master Mo, this is a private matter of our Knight Island. It's really not convenient for me to tell you at the moment."
Mo Shoucheng frowned slightly, but looked at Duan Wenjun.
Obviously, Mo Shoucheng just acquiesced that he was the one who robbed people last night.
Therefore, Duan Wenjun stopped hiding it and said directly, "Second Master, Mr. Xiao is indeed my guest. Moreover, I'm afraid he will have to stay at my place during this period to help me finish things." "
Hearing this, Gong Shuping suddenly had a faint smile on his face, "That's natural. I just don't know when the things Mr. Duan needs everyone to do can be completed."
When Duan Wenjun heard this, he couldn't help but look at Gong Shuping one more time.
This guy is a bit interesting.
At first, he always felt that Gong Shuping was here to cause trouble.
But at this time, it seems that is not the case.
On the contrary, his attitude was very humble.
It really made him feel a little sorry.
Naturally, he can no longer be too difficult.
"Second in charge, I can't say for sure. It depends on the progress of the project." He said again.
"The progress of the project? What is that?" Gong Shuping looked confused.
"Well, it just depends on everyone Xiao's speed and when he can help me finish the work, so only he knows." Duan Wenjun looked confused. "Every walk of life has its own specialization. I don't understand, right?"
"That's it! That's it!" Gong Shuping nodded.
At this moment, Du Maoxun couldn't help but said, "Mr. Duan, we, Xiake Island, are here with sincerity. We are asking Mr. Xiao to help us if we have something to do. If the matter is completed, we are willing to offer him some more help." Five thousand taels of silver as reward."
"Mr. Duan, we are inviting Mr. Xiao to come over this time because there is something that must be settled before the New Year, so..." Gong Shuping also agreed.
"Okay! When Lao Duan is finished, we will go to Xiake Island with everyone Xiao." Mo Shoucheng had already made the decision for Duan Wenjun.
Du Maoxun and Gong Shuping were stunned, and couldn't help but look towards Duan Wenjun.
"Old Mo's words are mine. I'll go back and discuss with everyone Xiao to see when he can finish his work. Old Mo and I will accompany him. I wonder if you two are welcome?" Duan Wenjun also laughed along with him. .
"Welcome! Of course you are welcome!" Gong Shuping was immediately overjoyed. "If my sister knew that Mr. Duan was going to our Xiake Island, she would definitely be happy."
"Your sister? Is she from the Liu family?" Duan Wenjun was stunned when he heard this. "Does she know me?"
"Of course we know each other!" Gong Shuping replied, "I remember back then..."
However, just in the middle of what he said, Du Maoxun next to him coughed violently.
Gong Shengping's words stopped abruptly and waved his hand, "Master Duan, when you go to our Knight Island, just talk to our master!"
Although Duan Wenjun was confused, he couldn't ask any more questions.
So, he asked Uncle Zhang to arrange for a table of good wine and food to be entertained for the two of them.
Du Maoxun wanted to refuse, but couldn't resist Duan Wenjun's kindness.
In particular, Duan Wenjun personally went to the kitchen and cooked two new dishes for them, which made him even more flattered.
Du Maoxun was worried that Duan Wenjun would ask them about Xiake Island, and he didn't know whether he should answer.
But unexpectedly, Duan Wenjun didn't mention it, but instead asked them about the entrance to the river and the river.
When it comes to Shunjiang, Du Maoxun has no worries.
In the early years, he once ran a boat along the river.
So, it's relatively familiar.
He was also very eloquent, and even told Duan Wenjun a lot of knowledge and anecdotes.
Duan Wenjun listened very carefully and even asked many questions many times.
What surprised Du Maoxun was that Duan Wenjun, a young man who looked at the river, actually asked many very professional questions on the water.
For example, the width of the river, the speed of the water, and the reefs, just like an old sailor.
Thinking of the rumors he had heard about Duan Wenjun before, he felt even more horrified.
However, Duan Wenjun did not notice the changes in Du Maoxun, but carefully thought about the experiences Du Maoxun told him.
In this world, maps are a rare item.
After coming here for so long, he had only seen a map in Chai Jingyun's military camp.
Moreover, that map is not very complete, only the boundaries of Lingxiao County.
Therefore, if you want to understand the outside world, you must rely on experience.
This is why the ancients said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.
Now, Du Maoxun not only knows Fushui very well, but also Shunjiang. This is a rare experience for Duan Wenjun.
According to Du Maoxun's words, he already had a general framework in mind.
The Shun River originates in the Shu Kingdom, and then goes all the way east, almost running through the entire southern Dashun, and then flows into the easternmost sea.
In fact, this is similar to the Yangtze River in the previous life. It is the most important waterway in the entire Shun Kingdom.
Fushui is the largest tributary along the river, passing through two states, six counties, and more than a dozen county boundaries.
There are hundreds of miles of waterway from the mouth of Fushui to the mouth of Shunjiang River.
If you take a boat and go all the way down the river, it only takes about half a month.
From the mouth of the river downward, the river surface along the river is relatively open and the water is relatively gentle, making it convenient for boating.
However, if you go up to the mouth of the Fushui River, only two or three days' journey will lead to canyons with fast currents and numerous reefs. Unless you are an experienced boatman, you will never be able to sail.
After lunch, they were full of wine and food, and the relationship between Duan Wenjun and Du Maoxun naturally became much closer.
At the dinner, Mo Shoucheng and Gong Shuping seemed to be chatting happily.
Suddenly, the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves...
