Chapter 334, Blockage

The next day, Chu Huaixian called the official of Lou and told him, "I want a few big boats, not too good, just... that's it." As soon as the official Lou heard it, he understood and smiled at Chu Huaixian and said, "You are doing business. Why don't you call me a member?" Chu Huaixian said, "It's not me, this idea, it's not me, it's a narrow ghost."

"This is a good idea, but it can only be done this time. If you do too much, you will be beaten." The official of Lou laughed. Chu Huaixian also smiled: "Just once, if you want to intervene, you can get involved in these two days. Two days at most, it must be done.

The senior official shook his head with a smile: "I can't prepare many goods in two days. Forget it. Next time I'm in trouble, please ask her to give me some advice." Chu Huaixian has heard of it and feels that there is a lot of light on his face, but he said, "This is a narrow ghost. Maybe the next idea is something. I won't guarantee it."

Everyone laughed, and the officials went back to prepare the boat.

The autumn wind is colder. Zheng Erguan asked a son to go to the boring building these days. He walked around the shops every day and then came back to have fun.

called his daughter: "Get one more dish at noon," and then hummed a little song to rest.

When I was about to fall asleep, I was woken up.

"Dad, get up quickly. There's something wrong on the dock." Zheng Erguan suddenly woke up with the shouting. When I opened my eyes, there were five or six people standing, my two sons, and several powerful stewirs.

Zheng Erguan suddenly panicked: "What happened?" The sons said, "The ship carrying goods today was stuck on the river." Zheng Erguan was a little recupied and said slowly, "Get stuck? Who is it? Do you want money or..."

"Dad, it's not artificial, it's..." As soon as the sons said this, Zheng Erguan was relieved and waved his hand, "It's not artificial, so there is no need to panic. We have to panic, and others can jump into the river. Speak slowly and don't worry.

A stew manager who escorted the ship is now coming back from the ship. Everyone looked at him and listened to him: "It's less than a hundred miles away from Beijing. On both sides of the river bank are the gardens of princes. It's still the same as before. They all occupy their own pool into the river.

Originally, if merchant ships were stationed here again, the river was narrow enough. At this point, Zheng Erguan understood a lot. How many times has he seen that section of the river with his own eyes? Zheng Erguan stared at his eyes: "How can this be! These dignitaries only think about themselves and don't care how others sail.

The stewor said, "That's all. Today, our ship went there, and all four or five large ships in front of us anchored and broke down the river, blocking this section tightly. The merchant ships behind are all crowded there, and none of them can pass.

"Is that so?" Zheng Erguan looked somewhat serious and said first, "The goods on our dock are enough to be sent for a few days?" The son said, "There is only one day of goods every day. After delivery today, we have to wait for tomorrow's ship. If this ship is blocked for a few days, the price in Beijing will be the same again." One came to Zheng Erguan and whispered, "Is it Mrs. Chu Shao...? You'd better go and have a look."

Zheng Erguan got up and the food on the table was ready, and he didn't want to eat it. The boring building has been in his heart recently. When did he squeeze Mrs. Chu and when was the best time to bring the real estate in?

Compared with money, Zheng's second official is not afraid of anyone.

Go out to catch the bus, and a dozen people went out of Beijing. This time, it is hundreds of miles. The land road has to take a detour until the night to get to the blocked place.

In the car, Zheng Erguan also discussed with his sons: "Young lady Chu is young, how can she know that it is the means of our family? The boss didn't let him know, but he was afraid that he would talk about it.

"Oh, Dad, I went to the market with Beijing, not all of them are staring at our home." The sons said, "Beginther, dad, have you been staring at other restaurants too closely recently, which makes her suspicious?"

Zheng Erguan had nothing to say. He blinked his eyes and thought, is this little girl really so shrewd? It's just that she got it right to get a good restaurant. The house is good, and the Chu family backs her, that's all.

The more he thought about it, the more disbelieved Zheng Erguan said to himself, "Does she have such ability?"

When it got dark, the car stopped under the river embankment. Several panicked stewards came down from the embankment, leading them to the embankment and pointing them with lanterns high: "It's those ghost boats that suddenly went crazy and stopped in broad daylight."

The river is brightly lit. Hundreds of boats were waiting here, and some people were jumping and scolding: "I can't make it in Beijing tonight, and I'll cook your family!"

Before the lights were lit, there were several dark-painted boats with no lights on them, and no one could be seen.

"unlucky! Which short-lived ghost ship is this? It was crowded during the day, and it was hard to rely on the weight of the ship. When he broke into the narrowest place, the anchor said that the boat was broken. The other one was even more strange. Originally, it could have passed the boat on both sides, but it said it was in a hurry and suddenly got stuck here again. The other one hit something and was also bad here. These boats are stuck here and can't move at all.

The stewman scolded while talking.

Zheng Erguan asked someone to light a torch and get on the boat to have a look. The stewor said, "Now you don't need a small boat. You can see that the boat here is connected to the ship, and you can't retreat. If you can't get in, you can just go through someone else's boat."

The group shouted, "Let's take a look," and passed by someone else's boat. He scolded them together in a hurry: "What are you looking at! Can you get through?"

Everyone didn't say anything and came here to see. Zheng Erguan took a cold breath and turned around and said to his sons, "This is intentional!"

Several boats are stuck tightly, and there is no gap in the middle of the boat, and it is so tight that it is not easy to separate. If you want to separate, unless you chisel it with an axe.

"What's piled up on this ship?" Zheng Erguan asked in panic. A stewor went on the boat to see it and scolded Zheng Erguan: "Evil things! A boat of clay!"

Several large boats of clay are piled up here. Even if the ship is destroyed, the river will be blocked all of a sudden. It's not easy to deal with temporarily anyway.

"The people on this ship would have run away long ago, otherwise they would have been killed! Everyone was angry and went to the government and found out that it was the building's ship. The government office did things quickly this time, and several fallen ships were also blocked here. In the afternoon, it was rumored that the people of the Lou family said that the boat was rented by others and who rented it, but so far they have not found out.

As a whole, it is blocked here. Zheng Erguan said, "The government has always been eager for something to happen. After a few days here, they have to squeeze out some oil and water. If they ask people to track them down, they have to treat them. Even if they clear the ship tomorrow, they can't clear it without four or five days. If they delay a few more days, it will take ten days and a half months.

"Dad, the boat of Caoyun is also blocked here. How dare they not be unhappy?" A stewmer said that Zheng Erguan shook his head calculatingly: "This is not the key to enter Beijing. The boat in front is blocked here and there is no way out. If you don't believe it, you can go to the back and have a look. The ship blocked at the end must be the most shouting and unwilling to move. This one! It's really high!"

As long as it is blocked for two days, the price in Beijing will rise again. Now it is abandoned to transport the ship to Beijing, and it is a hundred miles away. Although it doesn't take long for the hitchhiking ship to arrive, it will undoubtedly increase the cost of carrying goods with pickers or carriages.

The two officials of Zheng moved their fingers and counted them one by one: "The Zhang family, the Wang family, Mrs. Chu Shao, the Wu family... These people are all possible."

He patted his head sadly: "This man is so cruel!"

At this time, if you want to say who is the most suspected, any opponent may be.

Zheng Erguan, who returned to Beijing, suddenly remembered on the road and called his sons, "Go and see the empty house on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, but someone rents it." That night, I rested at an acquaintance's house outside Beijing. The next morning, my son came with red silk in his eyes: "Dad, the empty house on both sides was rented a few days ago. There is no warehouse or empty room. And today, there are some small merchants who can't wait to sell the things on the ship on the spot.

"This man!..." Zheng Erguan's face must show blue veins, and he can't think of anything to say. He is the same as Xiaochu. If he fights like this, he just earns less. However, for many years in the market, I feel that I can't afford to lose.

A few days later, the stewor went back and forth between Zheng Erguan: "Finally, the boat was taken away by the Lou family. In addition to our family can wait, there are also two or three families waiting. Other small merchants sold all the goods on the spot and left early. The price rose for two days, and then fell again. Mrs. Chu has a lot of goods for no reason. It can be seen that the people receiving the goods on both sides of the shore are her. Now think about it, this boat is not close to the Lou family in the second room of the Chu family.

Zheng Erguan sighed: "The wild goose pecked his eyes. I've already said it." He waved his hand weakly: "The people don't provoke officials. Sure enough, she is powerful. Forget it, go back and raise the price."

"According to me, it was the same. As soon as this matter came out, there were rumors outside. It is said that our families are fighting in Beijing, and no one else dares to come to Beijing now. Let's reduce the price again. Mrs. Chu has low-priced goods in her hands, and she is not at a loss. The steward said that Zheng Erguan sat up unconvincedly and pointed to the air, "Where is this ship? Isn't the clay on that ship money?"

"Dad, I really failed this time. Later, it was made clear that the boat was clearly inquired later. It was the ship that the Lou family planned to abandon. The upper foot thick is full of clay, and the lower part is full of wood. The clay was removed, the boat was destroyed, the wood floated on the water, and went downstream. People can just salvage it downstream.

Zheng Erguan was popular for a long time and suddenly beat his chest and said, "There is no reason, there is no reason!" Zheng Erguan suffered a loss, which was more angry than Mrs. Chu at the beginning.

He was so angry that he stopped for two days and appeared on the boring upstairs again.

When Gong Miaoer saw him come again, she said enviously, "This old man eats ordinaryly every day. He works like a cow. With such a big loss, he is actually fine."

"Their family can afford to lose money and doesn't care about this little money." Manager Zhuang said and suddenly said, "Has he lost money? I guess he lost his ability."

The two of them sneered and left Zheng Erguan away.

Mrs. Chu came to Xiaochu: "The price has risen again. You haven't sold those goods yet. It's just right to sell them now. Well, I sent you the money back." Xiaochu had to accept it. Without saying a few words, Mrs. Chu also came. She is not as thick-skinned as the second lady. Let's take a look at Xiaochu's mood first.

In the evening, Mrs. Chu invited the second and third ladies to the room and said to them seriously, "I heard that you broke up with Brother Yu, and this broke up again and again. According to me, there is no need to do this. Brother Yu's mother is a young child, and I can understand what she does. Good luck didn't find her, but she was lucky. Well, I'll let someone bring back the money of the second brother-in-law. You keep it. Don't worry about her in the future and let her go. When something happens, I go back to the master, and we don't care.

The second lady shyly took the silver and came out of the room and said to the third lady, "My sister-in-law is biased now. This is not the season of luck, or a few fallen ships. Does he dare to come?"

Mrs. Chu listened and could only smile.
