Chapter 101 Lu Yungang
A caravan slowly walked towards the coast of Shuiyuan Palace in the ice and snow. The caravan's cargo was full of 50 carriages, and there were more than 200 boxers accompanying them. On the carriage of the caravan, there is a unique star and dragon flag of the Dragon Star Chamber of Commerce.
This caravan is naturally formed by Zhao Jingtian and others. In Jinshui City, Shen Lanyue hired such a large number of boxers, bought dozens of boxes of cheap silk porcelain and other goods, and installed them as merchants for overseas trade. I don't know how many of this kind of caravans I will see in a year.
"Stop!" When the caravan was about to bypass Shuiyuan Palace and march to the seaside, hundreds of women in water-blue uniform clothes blocked the caravan's way. The leading woman put on a gloomy and smelly face and asked, "Where did it come from?" What are you going to do?"
Shen Lanyue is used to traveling north and south, and she is very experienced in dealing with this kind of scene. She smiled and said, "We are going to export these goods to Xuantian and go to sea from Luyungang. I hope that all the sisters of Shuiyuan Palace will be accommodated. I, the Longxing Chamber of Commerce, are very grateful. This is a small heart for the sisters. Just buy them a few good clothes and rouge gouache. I hope you can accept them.
Shen Lanyue took a gold coin card with a face value of 100 gold coins, which made many women stare at the golden gold coin card.
The woman led by suppressed the joy of her heart. Although her face was still stiff, her tone of voice was obviously not so cold: "Go, go quickly."
Shen Lanyue smiled gently, and her smile was like a spring breeze: "Thank you, sister. After we come back from Xuantian Kingdom, we will definitely thank you again. Let's go, everyone!"
"That's okay!?" Shui Ruowei, who has successfully bypassed the Shuiyuan Palace, looked at Shen Lanyue incredibly: "Are they usually like this?"
Shen Lanyue smiled and said, "Aren't you from Shuiyuan Palace? Why don't you know?"
Shui Ruowei hummed twice: "Normally, we can get a silver coin from the palace owner every month, which is enough."
Zhao Jingtian secretly despised Shui Ruowei in his heart: "It's really stingy!"
Shen Lanyue shook her head and explained like a patient big sister: "Girls love beauty. They always have to spend some money to dress up. Not to mention the best rouge gouache, even if it is medium, it costs ten silver coins a box. A silver coin for a month, they have to wait ten months to buy a box, not to mention the beautiful satin. Our past caravans will naturally give benefits to these girls. In fact, they are also quite pitiful. I heard that Shui Ruowei, the owner of the Shuiyuan Palace, does not eat the world's fireworks and never cares about the life or death of her subordinates. Ruoshui girl, it's really embarrassing for you..."
Zhao Jingtian laughed so much that his stomach ached, but he still resisted not letting himself laugh. They refer to the bald man scolding the monk, but Shen Lanyue is good, which directly refers to the bald man scolding the bald man. Fortunately, Shui Ruowei's face was covered with a veil, otherwise, Zhao Jingtian must look at her wonderful face at this time.
Ruoshui is the "nickname" given by Zhao Jingtian to Shui Ruowei. As for why Shui Ruowei escaped from the Shuiyuan Palace, Shui Ruowei resolutely kept silent, and Shen Lanyue did not ask much. Only Long Xuefei, a gossip woman, pestered Shui Ruowei and forced her to ask, which annoyed Shui Ruowei and wanted to cut her tongue and feed the dog. It's just that poor Shui Ruowei can't even fight against Long Xuefei now, so she can only stare at her eyes and have nothing to do, not to mention how depressed she is.
In this way, Shui Ruowei successfully escaped under Shui Xianfei's eyes and went to Luyungang. Shui Xianfei arranged all the heavy soldiers on land and didn't expect Shui Ruowei to go in this direction. Without the threat of Shui Xianfei, Zhao Jingtian and others walked very smoothly until they came to the seaside port city, Luyungang.
Luyungang is a strange place. The cold climate of Shuiyuan Palace in the north has not affected here at all. It is like spring all year round and is the only big city with prosperous trade in the north. Every year, there are many foreigners who do business here, and the foreign goods they bring attract many merchants from the Holy Kingdom, so this is like a platform for communication between the Holy Kingdom and the outside world.
"I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful city here! I want to buy something, wow!" Long Xuefei shouted excitedly, jumped again and again, and immediately jumped in front of a blonde businessman and pointed to the shining stone on the stall in front of the merchant: "What is this?"
Not to mention Long Xuefei, even Shen Lanyue and Shui Ruowei couldn't help but be attracted by this transparent stone that would shine under the sun and couldn't help walking over.
The businessman smiled and said in his exotic holy language: "This stone is called 'Delmon', which is very popular with ladies in our country, especially beautiful women like you."
"Hee." As soon as Long Xuefei heard the words of praise, she immediately smiled like a flower: "What is this? How much is it?"
The merchant replied, "It's not expensive or expensive, one small two gold coins and one big five gold coins."
Long Xuefei's eyes widened: "Is it so expensive? Don't want it!"
Shen Lanyue also felt that it was not cost-effective to buy stones. She shook her head, turned around and left. Only Shui Ruowei was still standing in front of the stall, staring at those Delmon.
"It's good to buy one for Lingxi and Xuanmei." Zhao Jingtian quickly pulled Shen Lanyue: "Hey."
Shen Lanyue looked at Zhao Jingtian puzzledly: "What are you going to do?"
Zhao Jingtian smiled shyly: "No, I just want to borrow some money from you..."
Long Xuefei was surprised and said, "Didn't you make a lot of money by selling your armor last time?"
Zhao Jingtian shook his head: "Those money is Uncle Ning's. I can't take it. I have returned the gold coin card to Uncle Ning."
Shen Lanyue said angrily, "Thanks, you are still a man, poor to death!"
Yue Zichong couldn't bear it. He casually took out 20 gold coins and handed them over to Zhao Jingtian: "Don't be underestimated by women!"
Zhao Jingtian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, then I'll lend it to you." However, 15 gold coins are enough.
Returning the remaining five gold coins to Yue Zichong, Zhao Jingtian walked to the stall: "I want three of these big ones."
Ji Lie businessman smiled very brightly: "This gentleman is really knowledgeable! It's the best choice for your sup..."
As soon as Ji Lie businessman stretched out his hand to receive Zhao Jingtian's gold coins, Zhao Jingtian suddenly withdrew his hand: "I'll buy three big ones from you. You also want to give me the blue stone. Otherwise, I won't buy it."
Jilie merchant pretended to be very painful: "Well... Well, well, the prince is a cheerful person. Buy three get one free, deal!"
In fact, the cost price of Jilie merchants buying this kind of stone in China is enough for one gold coin to buy five large and ten small ones. Zhao Jingtian didn't know the market and was slaughtered by this guy.
However, Zhao Jingtian is not distressed at all, because he spent Yue Zichong's money. Anyway, Yue Zichong didn't say that he would lend it to him and didn't need to be returned. Why didn't Zhao Jingtian do it?
Zhao Jingtian said happily, "Let's go! Let's prepare what we need to go to sea!"
Shen Lanyue deserves to be the head of the branch of the Longxing Chamber of Commerce, with outstanding ability. In half a day, she got a big boat and sailor, as well as plenty of fresh water and food, through the Longxing Chamber of Commerce in Luyungang City. As soon as the real sailors came, Shen Lanyue dispersed all the boxers who came from Liao. Zhao Jingtian couldn't help sighing, "It's really impossible not to bring her out!"
After finishing everything, just as everyone was planning to stay at the seaside hotel, the good Dragon Xuefei heard a voice on the street, and the gossip fire suddenly burned: "Let's go and have a look!"
Zhao Jingtian and others were idle anyway, so they followed.
On the street, a group of people gathered in a circle and were watching a teenager playing with a thin piece of iron in his hand. The thin iron is about 80 centimeters long, symmetrical and straight, and both sides are very sharp. Under the thin iron held by the teenager is a handle carved with strange patterns. The craftsmanship of the whole thin iron is so exquisite that even Zhao Jingtian, who doesn't know much about forging, can feel it.
"It turned out to be a street juggling man!" Yue Zihong snorted disdainfully and was about to turn around and leave. He was pulled by Zhao Jingtian: "Master of the Yue family, the iron in that boy's hand is not simple! It's murderous, as if it has sucked a lot of people's blood!"
Zhao Jingtian said so because the power of his blood resonated with the thin iron in the hands of the young man!
