The wind on the river was strong and the ship shook violently.
Shen Que almost couldn't sit still, so he quickly used his arms to support him to stabilize his body.
Here comes another apprentice, well, I have a headache.
"Ms. Shen, Master, I..." Liang Fan was still talking, but was interrupted by Mutam.
"Shut up, you are not allowed to call me Master. Could this Master be a random worshiper?" He frowned and scolded, "Get up, get up, there is gold under your knees, don't kowtow at all times."
As Mutam spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull Liang Fan. Unexpectedly, Liang Fan was very stubborn. He followed the force and avoided Mutam's hand and said: "I worship my master, what does it have to do with His Highness the Prince?"
"Why is it irrelevant? This is my master. Master only has me as his disciple. I won't accept him anymore."
Mutam wanted to reach out to pull him again, but when Liang Fan heard this, he became even happier:
"Master, if you can accept him, you can accept me, right? We are fellow villagers, and I admire Master..."
"Ouch, who was the dominatrix just now?" Mutam sarcastically said, "Besides, can I be the same as you?"
"Why is it different?"
…
The two people actually started to quarrel, and Liang Fan's pitiful attitude in begging Mutamuda for a ride could no longer be seen, as if he was a different person.
Shen Que had a headache due to the quarrel between the two, and quickly stopped him: "Okay, okay, stop arguing. I won't accept any more apprentices. Mr. Liang, please get up quickly."
"Why?" Liang Fan still didn't give up.
"No reason." Shen Zhe couldn't bear the disturbance and stood up to leave.
Liang Fan quickly stood up and followed. Seeing that she didn't let go, he said, "Let's do this. Master, please think about it again. I'm not in a hurry. I'll chat with Master."
Mutam followed Shen Que step by step, and the two of them were pushing and squeezing behind Shen Que. Shen Que was pacing on the deck, looking at the river view, and letting them go as they pleased.
The heavy fog has dissipated, and the scenery along the river is clearly visible. Daye in late autumn has a rich and fertile beauty, but also an unstoppable decline. The weather has turned colder, and winter is about to begin.
Liang Fan was born in a merchant's family. He followed his parents in business since he was a child. He developed a delicate heart and was very good at observing people's emotions.
Looking at Shen Que's calm and contented look, and then looking at Mutam who was watching eagerly beside him, he understood something in his heart.
If the straight ball doesn't go in, outsmart it.
After making up his mind, Liang Fan said with a smile: "Now that I have met Master, I have a question I would like to ask."
He shouted "Master" one by one, making Shen Que feel helpless.
"Now Daye has been developing year after year, and the situation is very good." Liang Fan said: "The taxes paid in the south are increasing every year, and everything is getting better and better. However, I heard that the New Deal implemented a while ago failed. I don't know, Master How do you see it?"
Shen Que glanced at him and said, "I don't understand the affairs of the government."
Well, okay, Master doesn’t like to talk about this, so let’s change the topic.
"Then what does Master have to say about today's trade flow?" Liang Fan stepped forward and stood side by side with Shen Que. "There are more and more handicraftsmen in Daye. I wonder if Master has noticed?"
"Yes." Shen Que became more energetic, thinking of the old man who was a monkey fishing for the moon, and Hu Shang, who had just become a dancer. "This is a good thing. Not only handicrafts, I think there are more small vendors and food shops." , and each has its own characteristics, it can be said that a hundred flowers bloom."
"Master, great views." Liang Fan said happily, "It seems that Master also likes these, and so do I. Otherwise, how can we see the same thing at the same time? This is called heroes seeing the same thing."
Flattery, Shen did not pay attention to his words.
"But I feel that our scale is too small to achieve success." Liang Fan continued, "The circulation of things is too poor, the price is low, and there is no inheritance, it won't work."
Shen Que stopped and looked at him: "I think we can help them circulate it. Once the things are sold farther away, the demand will increase, and only then can we encourage them to pass it on. This is a chain of events. Some craftsmanship is indeed exquisite, and it would be a pity if it was lost.”
"So master has plans in this regard?" Liang Fan's eyes lit up, "Can you tell me about it?"
Shen Que naturally had no reservations and said: "It's just a preliminary idea and has not been perfected yet. I was reminded by Amu's words just now. He said that if he bought too many things, he could charter a special ship to transport the goods."
Mutam followed her and nodded silently. He did say this, but it was just a casual joke. I don't know what her plan was.
"I think this river is the best access. It runs through Daye's waterway from south to north, and can also connect Soto and Oara. If there is someone who specializes in transportation, he will be responsible for the safe arrival of the goods. In addition, it can be done as quickly as possible, and after landing, a dedicated person can deliver the goods to the victim, so as to earn commission."
Ever since Mutam mentioned the topic of shipping goods, Shen Que's mind has been spinning, and it slowly turned from one sentence into a complete train of thought. If Liang Fan hadn't been nagging beside him, I'm afraid this would have happened. We can think about it more perfectly later.
There was a moment of silence, and only the sound of the big boat drafting and the occasional splash of small fish jumping up could be heard.
Shen Que turned to look at Liang Fan, only to see him staring with big eyes, somewhat disbelieving and slightly surprised.
"Then, is this the same business as the escort agency?"
Shen Que shook his head and said it was different, "The Escort Agency only escorts valuable goods. This kind of freight can be delivered to anything. Moreover, the price of the Escort Agency is too expensive. Ordinary people will not choose this. Small profits but quick turnover." She thought again and added: “For the sake of credibility, we can promise delivery at a fixed time and a fixed distance. Only by ensuring safety can we ensure steady profits.”
Liang Fan lowered his head and clasped his fingers, not knowing what he was counting, and then shouted with a look of surprise: "Come on, come on, this is a big income, Master, you..."
He wanted to say, Shen Que told him such a good idea, why shouldn't he keep it?
Shen did know what he wanted to ask and said with a smile: "We can make money together. Our Shen family is not where we are today because of our underworld background and eating alone. Only by working together can we do better and better."
The sun penetrated the clouds and shone on her, coating her whole body with a layer of gold. She stood in the light of the bow and shone brightly.
With a "plop", Liang Fan knelt down again, and his voice was trembling with excitement: "Master, it's me who is narrow-minded. It was me who arranged the master through hearsay. I feel ashamed. Master, just accept me and work for you." I do, you, if you don’t accept me, I won’t get up.”
This sudden kneeling startled Shen Que, and he couldn't help but take two steps back. Looking at his stubborn look, he was very embarrassed. Before he could speak, Mutam on the side snapped his fingers, and two people came up.
"Put it out for me, as far away as possible."
After the two of them were ordered, Liang Fan, who was in a kneeling position, disappeared. Only the sound of waves on the deck was mixed with Liang Fan's cry for help, which gradually faded away...
I thought it was finally quiet, but unexpectedly, just after a stick of incense, Liang Fan appeared mysteriously again.
"You..." Mutam pointed at him. Before the words came out of his mouth, Liang Fan clapped his fingers with a smile and said:
"Your Highness, I respect you, but I also have principles. It's useless for you to threaten me. I am a tough person." He patted his chest, "This is my master and my idol. I will follow you all my life." I have decided to be a master, or you can beat me to death. As long as you can’t beat me to death, I will stay with my master.”
Shen Que: ...dog skin plaster.
Liang Fan didn't care, he squeezed in front of Shen Que and said: "Master, you like to go to the market, I know it. Our boat is heading south slightly, and the next stop is Liangzhou. I am very If you are familiar with it, we can go and have a look. Although the products there are not as novel as those in Jingcheng and Fengcheng, they are more exquisite and delicate. You will regret it if you don't take a look."
Shen Que immediately perked up when he heard this: "Seriously."
Liang Fan nodded like a fool: "It's more real than real gold."
With that said, Liang Fan introduced the Liangzhou market to Shen Que. A little further south of the bow of the ship, there was Pengzhou, where the market specialized in selling tea, porcelain, and...
Mutam listened, if we go a little further south and then a little further south, we are getting farther and farther away from the destination. But Shen Que said it was okay. He just walked around slowly and took a look. If he deviated, he would take a detour. Bar.
Along the way, Liang Fan took Shen Que to see the tea market and ceramics market, which made Shen Que greatly moved. They also went to the largest pharmaceutical distribution center. Liang Fan almost knelt down again when he learned that Shen Que knew pharmacology. Moreover, the two have initially reached a cooperation. Shen Que is responsible for looking at the medicinal materials, and Liang Fan is responsible for setting up transportation to transport more good medicines from further places to various places. In Shen Que's words: "This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people." .”
Okay, Liang Fan, Mutam cracked his knuckles, chicken thief, I really underestimated you.

East Palace.
The night is dark and the candles are brightly lit.
Li Luansong pinched the sore corners of his eyes and looked out the window at the moonlight, which was dimly hidden behind the clouds and could not distinguish its outline.
Still because of the incident in Wala, he proposed a personal expedition but was opposed by all the ministers. Everyone agreed: Daye now relies on His Highness the Crown Prince. If His Highness goes on an expedition, no one will interfere with the government's affairs. His Majesty's dragon body will not be depressed...
That being said, Li Luansong actually knew in his heart that those veterans were afraid that something would happen to him.
After being defeated in a game with the veterans again, Li Luansong felt a little irritable.
In May, I came to report: "My wife's ship has arrived in Liangzhou and will probably be delayed for two days. The next stop is expected to be Pengzhou."
Li Luansong stood looking at the public opinion map and followed the direction of his finger with some surprise: "Why has the route been changed? Isn't it going to Soto? It should be north."
Wu Yue said: "It was a man named Liang Fan who came up with the idea. He said he wanted to go to the market."
Liang Fan?
Li Luansong felt a headache, who was this? He hadn't dismissed Mutam yet, so why did another one come:
"who?"
Wuyue took a look at his face and said: "This man is a businessman. We met by chance and insisted on becoming my teacher. When she refused, he shamelessly followed."
She is so attractive.
Suddenly he thought of something again and asked, "How did Mutam react?"
"She seems very angry." Yuyue asked, "Your Highness, does Liang Fan want to..."
"No." Li Luansong actually showed a smile and ordered: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend, just let him stick to me and protect Yuuyu, and let him piss that Mutam to death on my behalf."
His finger once again slid to Wala on the public opinion map. Next to it was Soto. If he went directly from Wala to Soto, he could take her home with him.
