Chapter 37 Water Mansion

Decided to go back to Jianye. Sun Shao immediately began to prepare. He asked Cheng Jun and asked him to classify the goods brought back from Xu Wen. Those that are suitable for sale in Panyu are sold in Panyu, and those that are more suitable for sale in Jianye or Chengdu are packaged. At the same time, he used the money he got this time - whether it was sold goods or stolen from pirates - to buy a large number of goods, full of 18 ships, ten of which were merchant ships assigned to him by Sun Quan, and the other eight were trophys distributed to him by Bu Qian, all of which were large merchant ships larger than medium-sized warships. Among the merchant ships coming and going, it can be said that the super fleet, the super fleet, the eighteen ships plus two escorted building ships moored in the harbor, which can not only touch people's hearts, but also break people's courage. The value of these 18 ships is enough to move people's hearts. Breaking the courage is the two escorted buildings that break the people's courage, escorted by private armed forces, Sun Shao It's not the only one, but it's escorted by a private armed building ship. Sun Shao is the only one.

After everything was handled, he called Cheng Jun to the study, took out a bag and pushed it in front of Cheng Jun. Cheng Jun was puzzled. He opened it and was shocked. There were fifty golden horseshoe gold in it, one catty of each cake. At first, he saw that Sun Shao was light and effortless. He thought he didn't have much money, but he didn't expect it to be fifty gold.

"This is for you." Sun Shao said lightly, "Thirty gold is the dividend that should be given to you, and 20 gold is my reward."

"No, no." Cheng Jun was shocked and shook his head repeatedly. After he got on the big ship of Sun Shao, he not only took advantage of Xu Wen's goods this time, but also got the best shop in Panyu City. Now he is a famous businessman in Panyu City. Even a big household like Ouyang Fu has to look at his face - in Panyu, who can control more resources than Sun Shao? The profit he earned this trip was more than five times that of previous years. How dare he take Sun Shao's money? He still thought about the long-term flow.

"You take it." Sun Shao pushed the gold in front of him and patted his hand: "I can't make so much money without your help. You deserve it. In addition, I want to tell you that I'm going to Jianye. I'm really not clear when I'll be back, so please take care of the remaining goods and those ships for me.

Cheng Jun's face turned pale, and he knew the reason. It's not that Sun Shao doesn't know when he will come back, but whether he can come back or not. He put so much money and goods into his hands and trusted him. If he could come back, these would be taken care of by him. If he couldn't come back, it would be given to him.

"I dare not do it. Please take back your order." Cheng Jun took a step back and fell to the ground. It is false to say that he is not interested in this wealth, but because this wealth is too touching, he dares not accept it. After more than ten years in business, he believes in the truth that he can't make a fortune. After making a fortune, there must be a disaster.

Sun Shao looked at Cheng Jun quietly. After a while, he bent down to help Cheng Jun and said with a smile, "I know your ability. Such a big business is just a small test for you, and it will definitely not go wrong. Don't worry, although I'm not in Panyu, I will entrust Bu Fujun to take care of you. He will arrange things at the official level. In addition, I also left a trustworthy person to contact you. In case there is anything that Mr. Bu can't solve, you can contact him.

Cheng Jun took a long breath, took the bamboo charm handed over by Sun Shao, and carefully held it into his arms.

Before leaving, Sun Shao rushed to the assassin's mansion. He was working and asked someone to welcome Sun Shao to the study. After a while, he rushed over. As soon as he sat down, before he took a sip of tea, he said with some regret, "Fengxian, it's a pity that some situations have just been opened here, and you have to leave again."

Sun Shao smiled, pulled off the seal of the Nanhai Taishou and the Panyu Ship Order from his waist, and pushed them to Bu Qian: "Mr. Fu, I will return these seals perfectly. General Henghai will take them away, and give them to the Supreme for processing after returning to Jianye."

"What, you really don't want to be an official?" Bu Qian was a little surprised.

"Hey hey, I've been an official and fought a war. I'm also a rich man now, and it's time to enjoy it. I've been wandering on the sea for two or three months. It's interesting, but I'm too tired to sleep soundly.

Bu Qi squeaked and didn't say anything. Of course, he knows that there is another meaning of not sleeping soundly. Sun Shao made great contributions this time, but he could not promote him, and even did not dare to mention Sun Shao in the documents of repaying his merit. He was afraid that it would not bring to Sun Shao not an official title, but a disaster. He can only compensate him for his property and use the rights in his hand to dial him to comfort his conscience.

"You can rest assured that you can go back to Jianye. I will take care of your property in Panyu. When you come back to Panyu, I will guarantee that you will not lose any money." Bu Qian comforted, "I will write the supreme book. Please come back to participate in the autumn expedition."

"Thank you for your help." Sun Shao smiled disapprovingly, said a few words of gossip, and got up to say goodbye. He knew that Bu Qian's words were not completely empty words, but obviously he couldn't believe too much. The last time he was played by him, he still remembered it vividly.

In mid-August, Sun Shao left Panyu Port, accompanied by more than 100 ships escorted Jiaozhou sailors and nearly 300 merchant ships. Of course, Sun Shao's building boat is the most powerful. The two building boats were originally amazing, but now they are connected with giant trees, 40 feet long and nearly 30 feet wide, which is simply a water mansion. There were twelve sails on the ship, 300 sailors and 300 soldiers, all of whom were officers and soldiers of the Jiaozhou Marine Division under Sun Shao. Bu Qian turned them into the headquarters of General Henghai. It can be said that he did this with good intentions. If Sun Quan can tolerate Sun Shao's music of hundreds of people, then they are Sun Shao's. If Sun Quan is not satisfied, it is also simple. As long as he finds a reason to seal Sun Shao's General Henghai, Sun Shao will become a poor man again.

The most surprising thing is that Sun Shao's ship did not have oars and rowing. He only saw a rowing hole in the bulkhead, but he could not see a rowing. When walking, he only saw a splash rolling out of the back of the boat, and the ship moved forward slowly. Although the size of the ship was a little too large, the speed was not slower than that of an ordinary merchant ship.

When Sun Shao was on his way, he found a Daqin acrobatic troupe from Xiyi to Jiaozhou in Panyu. There were about a dozen people. He told them that they would eat and live on the ship for free, but they would perform once a day in the afternoon, about half an hour, and open tickets to everyone in the fleet. No matter how much the income is, the fee is three or seven. Seventy percent belongs to the acrobatic troupe and 30% to Sun Shao, which is regarded as food expenses. The acrobatic troupe was overjoyed and agreed without saying a word. When they arrived on the boat, they hugged each other in surprise and kept laughing. Sun Shao's ship is simply so beautiful. The cabin with the smell of fresh wood is spacious and strong. The brand-new bedding are all high-quality silk fabrics. These hard-working people who squeezed across the sea in the narrow cabin and came to Jiaozhou can't wait to remove the quilt and make clothes. Oh, my God, such silk is expensive in Daqin. The clothes that women can wear are now covered with quilts, which is a waste.

In the flying cabin on the second floor of the main cabin, Guan Feng slowly walked out of the cabin and sat down on the spacious bamboo couch. Looking at the Daqin acrobatic Troupe preparing for her first performance in the distance, her cheeks showed happy dimples. Of course, she knew that Sun Shao didn't let these Daqin people on board the ship to make any money. He was afraid that she would be lonely on the journey, so he asked them to relieve their boredom. Although she couldn't understand what the Daqin people were saying, from their respectful look and humble eyes, she could feel that she was no different from the queen in the eyes of these Daqin people.

A burst of stairs sounded. Sun Shangxiang, who was fully armed, pressed the knife and strode up, followed by two equally fully armed female guards. After getting on the flying house, they stood at the top of the stairs, and the expression on their faces clearly showed a meaning.

"Feng girl, I'm so annoyed that I want you to be a bodyguard for you. If you weren't pregnant with my grandson, I really wanted to beat you up." Sun Shangxiang sat on the other side carelessly, grabbed the pot on the case and poured tea for herself, but it was not tea, but snow-white coconut milk. She was shocked: "I said, little phoenix, aren't you too extravagant? Drink this all the way?"

"Of course, you can't drink all of this. It's not boring." Qiao Yue smiled and pointed to a merchant ship behind the building ship: "It is full of all kinds of fresh fruits. If you want to eat, send someone to pick it up. If you think it's troublesome to eat, send someone to squeeze the juice and drink."

"Oh--" Sun Shangxiang sighed, raised his neck, drank all the coconut juice in one gulp, and said, "I also live here. Moon girl, go and bring my luggage here. It's simply unreasonable. Oh, my wife knows how to be painful, but my elder doesn't know filial piety? This Man is really. I have to teach him a good lesson later.

Qiaoyue did not dare to move. Sun Shao ordered that although there were three cabins on it, in order to make Guan Feng's eyes clear, she would rather be empty than let others live. But is Sun Shangxiang someone else? She can't promise that if she provokes the tiger aunt, Sun Shao can't protect her. She hesitated for a moment and looked at Guan Feng for help. Guan Feng smiled softly and glanced at Sun Shangxiang: "Auntie, the other flying house is also empty. Why don't you live there? Anyway, it's very convenient to come here.

This big ship is connected by two buildings. It was not originally a boat, so it is different from an ordinary boat. This ship has two flying house, about six feet away. The flying house where Guan Feng lives is the throne on the left. The lower house is used by Sun Shao to receive guests. The cabin arranged by Sun Shao for Sun Shangxiang is next to it. On the side, the flying house on the right is Sun Shao's command cabin. The relevant cronies live in the lower house. The sailors and soldiers also live on that ship, but the cabin under the deck is of course more crowded than the house and the flying house on the deck, that is, it can sleep flat.

Sun Shangxiang curled her lips, rolled her eyes, and said domineeringly, "Why? You occupy three cabins, but you let me squeeze in the corner? No, I just live with you. You can't do it if you don't want to. She used to be familiar with Guan Feng, and later became an aunt and nephew, and the relationship became closer. In front of Guan Feng, she was both a close friend and an elder, and she did not need to save face for Guan Feng.

Guan Feng blushed and bit her lips and thought, "It's okay if you want to live, but don't regret it then."

"Regret?" Sun Shangxiang smiled and said, "I'm the kind of person who doesn't regret hitting the wall. I'm afraid that you young couple won't succeed?"

"That's good." Guan Feng gracefully stretched out her finger and said, "Moon, go find two people, take up your aunt's luggage and put them in the upper cabin."

Qiao Yue answered and called two female guards to go. Sun Shangxiang nodded with satisfaction, leaned over and touched Guan Feng's face, and said angrily, "Good daughter-in-law, this is just like that. Auntie doesn't love you for nothing."

Guan Feng looked at her with slanted eyes and said no words with a smile. Sun Shangxiang twisted his fingertips again and flattened his mouth: "Son, it seems that the vertical is right. This coconut juice is good for the skin. Your skin is more delicate than before. I feel sorry for you."

"Aren't you too?" Guan Feng blushed and retorted. Sun Shangxiang touched her face and sighed, "No, my aunt is almost thirty years old, and she has become an old lady. What a resentment. I lost such a flower before it blooms.

"Poo--" Not only Guan Feng, but also the female guard standing next to her couldn't help laughing.

"Who said that?" Sun Shao poked his head out of the side of the cabin. He looked at Sun Shangxiang and looked up and down: "Aunt, you are in your age. You are sitting with Yinping. You are just like a sister. Who dares to say that you are old?"

"Go, little vertical, dare to make fun of my aunt. Let's see if I don't deal with you." Sun Shangxiang blushed and said angrily, "I haven't settle accounts with you yet. You obviously have an empty cabin above. Why do you let me live below?" No time for Sun Shao to answer, she said angrily, "I've decided that I want to live on it."

"Do you live here?" Sun Shao was stunned for a moment and took a look at Guan Feng. Guan Feng spit out his tongue helplessly. Sun Shao was a little embarrassed, but when he saw that Qiao Yue had led the two female guards to carry her luggage up, it was not easy to say anything immediately, so he had to answer vaguely, and then looked at Guan Feng's eyes with some inexplicable sadness.

"Well, the performance is about to begin." Sun Shao changed the topic and sat next to Guan Feng.

On the front deck, there are many people in the inner and outer three layers. In the middle are members of the Daqin acrobatic Troupe. Two women with big breasts and thin waists are making the final preparations before the performance. They wear very little clothes, and there is only a very thin bra on their upper body, which can surround half of the plump peaks. There was also a snow-white piece, the thin waist was exposed, and a pearl was embedded in the navel. The long green skirt has a very low waist, almost to the hip bone, revealing a flat lower abdomen, which makes people worry that it will fall off at any time. The long hair was braided into a few braids and swayed with the swing of the head.

Three men were auditioning with musical instruments that the big man had never seen before. The sound was very fresh for Sun Shangxiang and Guan Feng. They stopped laughing and looked at it curiously. The people around them are the same. Some are staring at the waists, chests and buttocks of those women, some are watching the musical instruments of the Daqin people, and there are also Daqin people among the merchants. They are proudly introducing the upcoming program to others.

The innermost circle of the audience has seats. Of course, it is a circle of mats connected together. There are two layers of seats outside. Sun Shao specially prepared them, two feet and four feet high, and the outermost one is standing. There are the most people in this category. There are not only businessmen, but also those sailors and officers and soldiers who are not worthy. Because the ticket price is cheap, they can buy foreign meat for only 20 yuan. They don't object. Of course, those seats in the inner circle that cost as high as three or five hundred yuan are not what they can enjoy.

"How much can I charge today?" Sun Shangxiang asked with a smile.

"I don't know." Sun Shao shook his head indifferently. He turned to look at Sun Shangxiang and said with a smile, "As long as my aunt is satisfied, I will be happy to lose money."

"Hypocrisy." Sun Shangxiang said antonishly, "You please your wife. Don't use me as a cover."

"Auntie, you have wronged me." Sun Shao laughed a few times: "Is it good to you?"

"It was okay." Sun Shangxiang stared at him and turned his head: "But it's not good enough to compare with your girl Feng."

Sun Shao was speechless. The flying vinegar seemed to be a little out of tune. But she has always been a bad person.

"Husband, is Daqin far away?" Seeing that Sun Shao was embarrassed, Guan Feng quickly relieved him.

"Far away, it is said that these Daqin people will take a boat for a year before they can come to our Dahan." Sun Shao smiled.

"Are they very poor there and can't live, so they come to Jiaozhou to make a living?" Sun Shangxiang was also curious.

"Like us, he also has rich people, the poor, the rich are as rich as the country, and the poor are hard to get food and clothing." Sun Shao sighed. In fact, it's not just the Great Qin Dynasty and the Great Han Dynasty. It's nothing like this in ancient and modern times. So am I. Although I have a lot of money now, I am sitting on a pile of firewood. Maybe one day Sun Quan will throw a spark and I will be finished. It's better to find a way to make a living as soon as possible. He subconsciously looked to the east. There was a treasure island there. If he could occupy the island, it would be good to call it a mountain king. The key is the sailor. If there is a powerful sailor, the land of Jiangdong will not be in his eyes.

Although it is still far away, the first step has been taken.

Sun Shao stroked the railing and was secretly a little proud. The building ship modified by Ge Heng now looks a little strange, and the speed is not faster than other merchant ships, but only he and a few cronies know that if the ship advances with all its strength, it can be 50% faster than any ship of the same size in the world in a short time. Above.

Unfortunately, because the manpower is not enough to support the full-speed operation for a long time, otherwise, it would not be a matter of modifying two ships.

It seems that no new energy can be found to replace it. These improvements are always limited. Sun Shao touched his chin and blinked his eyes, feeling a little distracted for a moment.

"Aman." Sun Shangxiang shouted twice. Seeing that Sun Shao did not respond, he stabbed him with a scabbard. Sun Shao was shocked and looked at her in surprise: "What's wrong?"

"What are you thinking about? I don't want to talk to you. Do you think I'm annoying?" Sun Shang asked with a strong aroma.

Sun Shaoda Khan, "How dare you? I'm thinking about the dinner party. I'm thinking, should my aunt sit on my left or on my right?

"Dinner?" Sun Shangxiang blinked her eyes and immediately changed her face: "Have you made delicious food again?"

"Please try some exotic customs today, hehe." Sun Shao squeezed his eyes proudly, "As for what it is, it's a secret now."

"Vertical, still ambush." Sun Shangxiang shouted happily, and then waved his hand disdainfully: "Alas, as long as there is food, it doesn't matter where you sit."
