Chapter 118: The heart between the sea and the sky is the most important

The morning comes to dawn, the clouds are light and the sun is beautiful, the blue sea and silver sand are eternal waves, and the layers of gravel reefs are layered. Fishing boats float lightly, the lighthouse falls on the sea birds, looking into the distance, and the sounds on the shore are opposite each other, cicadas, cicadas.

During the summer season, the Ning family's fleet in Qinzhou and the ships of those fooled people finally docked and leaned on the dock in Luzhou, even the Ning family's ship was no exception.

They were first overwhelmed by the Zhang family's fleet. The speed was beyond their reach. They were fast and stable. Even when they were drawing the so-called zigzag in the sea, they were not chasing them.

At the beginning, I wanted to follow behind. After all, it was in the horizon. It is said that the currents and winds had changed. The people in the fleet wanted to follow the Zhang family. It doesn’t matter whether they are embarrassed or not. It is a success to transport the freight.

I only followed it for one day, to be precise, one afternoon, and at night I lost the trace of the Zhang family fleet. At dawn, there were only blue seas and blue sky.

The Ning family complained, and the people on the boat who came with him sighed that their ability was not as good as the technology of getting spinnakers and propellers. Even if it was a steamer, it could not be built, and the structure inside was complicated.

Only the Zhang family can use it blatantly. Whoever asked the technology to be provided by others and had impeachment memorandums? However, several powerful ministers in the court directly refuted it with a reason that people can't speak.

Only when they use the things made by the Zhang family can they improve. Maybe they can make better things and not let them use them. So how can they do it?

What makes people lose the desire to compare is that the Zhang family's boat can draw a sea chart as long as it passes. It is said that there is a unique measurement method. The Zhang family keeps one of the sea charts and the other ones are placed in the palace. If you want to get it from the palace, maybe in your dreams, you should try harder. Think about the one in the palace.

The distance was widened, and the moon came out to join in the fun again. I don’t know why, but the change in the tide had been chaotic for several days.

Suddenly, the fleet on the Ning family deviated from the direction. They didn't know that it was caused by an earthquake in the sea. Coupled with the solar wind and lunar eclipse, there was a small problem with the sea area they were traveling.

So, four of the twenty-two ships that came came broke into the reef. When people rescued them, don’t count on the goods. The four ships were also thrown there. After a few days of sailing, the remaining ten ships finally found the right path. This was because of Si Nan’s relationship, at least they knew the southeast, southwest and northwest.

The four ships that hit the reef belonged to the Ning family. Who asked them to invite others? When the location in the sea changed, they had to send a ship to explore the way. This time, the Ning family had a total of six ships, only two left. It was no longer meaningful to dock in Lianzhou.

They couldn't understand why the Zhang family's ship did not hit the reef. This road was driven by the Zhang family. Nothing happened when they came for the first time. Could it be that if they encountered danger here, the Zhang family's ship was fine?

Of course, there is nothing wrong with the Zhang family's boat. It's not that they are lucky, but that the Zhang family members are good. The people who are on the boat have an old man in his 80s who has gone to sea to fish with the adults at home since he was four years old. As a result, he fell ill and became paralyzed when he was old.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't think so much, just thinking about letting some elderly people at home with poor conditions go to the nursing home, so the old man followed him and received very good care.

The old man has no other skills. He can see where there are fish and where there are reefs. He can accurately judge the situation under the sea with a clairvoy.

After the old man was properly arranged, he taught him free of charge to other people. This kind of wealth could no longer be measured by money. So the Zhang family gave the old man a ship with a propeller and a spinnaker. The ship was named Jinxue.

After learning these experiences, the Zhang family's fleet faced storms and countless reefs, riding the wind and waves all the way, laughing and proudly between the sky and the sea.

When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan sent the old man to the nursing home, they never thought that they would use the old man's moment. As a result, they received not only their own spiritual rewards, but also countless wealth.

The old man also had a separate recipe and his own wheelchair. His family was arranged properly, and even a former gangster-like grandson was brought into the army.

Every time the Zhang family boat sails, the old man has to follow him. After all, there are still some things that the people on the boat have not learned, that is, the ears are power. The old man can actually judge whether there are fish and reefs based on the sound of the sea water when he can't see anything at night.

After Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan learned about this, they repeatedly sighed that the old man's ears were almost on the same page as the sonar. The two felt that the old man's kind smile was really proud. The two set up a separate college for the old man, the Time Navigation Academy, and used this to inspire the people behind him.

And a couplet was carved on the gate of the college. Time flies and asks about the golden waves, and time passes and the sky is blue.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are not like this because of an old man. What they respect is the spirit of devoting their whole lives to the ocean. People will die. The difference is that they leave something for future generations. They also warn themselves when commemorating others.

There was no such elderly man on the Ning family's ship, and they didn't have them at their own home, so it was even more impossible to rescue a Lao Buddy, who could not even walk on the road. So they broke into four ships and loaded with slow cargo on them. Their value could be supported by a hundred old men like the Zhang family. There was no problem with it.

When human nature is higher than money, there are more opportunities to obtain money, such as Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan; when money is higher than human nature, both are lost. Humans are more powerful than other animals, not because they know how to use tools, but because they have hope and compassion in their hearts.

I have always been unable to understand why there was no accident in the Zhang family fleet. When the Ning family, who had lost four large cargo ships, docked on the Luzhou Pier with sixteen other ships, they still received a 10-cent charge notice for each ship.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't care about whose ship it was. They didn't allow any money they should collect. Business has business rules. When they come as merchants, they had to follow the business rules. If they change their identities, it would be another matter. Showing out the identity of the aristocratic family means that they are visitors. It would not seem abrupt to take out a thousand-ton of things to entertain. If they say they were doing business, they would pay the money quickly.

The Ning family also wanted to provoke something, but some of the people who came on the boat seemed to have received a warning from their home. When the boat was parked, the money had been paid. Then they took out the letter they wrote to Zhang Zhong and gave it to him, and also had a gift.

This method made Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan very satisfied. They distinguished personal relationships from commercial transactions, and the treatment was different. So the people sent by these aristocratic families enjoyed precious things such as abalone, shark fin, conch, etc., and each of them also got a precious mirror in wooden boxes.

The value of these things is far more than the money for stopping the boat and the money for the gifts sent. The Zhang family did not hesitate at all when they took it out, and even Zhang Zhong came here to have a meal with these individuals in person.

This approach not only did not make the children of the aristocratic families who came with the ship, but instead made them pay more attention to Zhang Zhong. At the same time, it also set a rule for the docks in Luzhou that you have to get money when you stop the ship. No matter who it is, even the Zhang family's future fleet comes, after all, it is settled separately.

Of course, there are special circumstances, such as the flagship of the main family, the flagship of Li Xun's family, and the boats of some people with status in the imperial court. When they arrive here, they cannot collect money. Things must be treated flexibly, and even those officials may carry some goods, they must be treated as invisible.

It is impossible for them to bring a hundred ships with them once, right? It is impossible for them to spend nearly half a year just to go back and forth without any trouble.

The Ning family was still waiting to watch the fun, but unexpectedly, hope was lost. The news soon made people deliver land on Lianzhou to Qinzhou within a few days.

Governor Ning was angry before receiving this news. The Zhang family's ship came first, and so many goods were all scattered to various prefectures. Through the merchants' respective trading channels, the price of these goods was sold higher than expected.

How could the governor of other states be controlled by Ning Cheng, but the same is true for Qinzhou. Didn’t it be that the merchants were not allowed to contact Luzhou? How could there be goods coming? They had already sent almost Qinzhou to patrol the places where they could be connected by land. It was impossible for goods to come from those roads.

It is impossible to have waterways. Any ship coming here will be checked at the mouth of Qinjiang River, and the road along the river needs to pass through three waterways. Each ship coming here will search for each cabin, and even those individuals will not let go.

As a result, in these places in Qinzhou, a large number of Zhang's goods were still shipped over and sold at high prices. How could this be possible?

Waiting to see the news coming back from Luzhou again, Governor Ning couldn't help but feel angry. He patted the leather-wrapped table bought from Luzhou and roared loudly: "What are you doing? Is it that difficult to deal with Zhang Zhong? He always brags about how powerful he is. Now, let's see, the four ships are gone, and those individuals have not hated the Zhang family yet. What's the use of raising you?"

The housekeeper passed the news and did not dare to move. He knew how angry the master would make him angry. At this time, he saw that the master kept slamming the table. He had no intention of telling the master the price of the table, so he could only stand there with his head down, so he could wait for the master to slap the table before talking.

Governor Ning has been serving as governor here for ten years and has never encountered such a frustrating thing. Since Zhang Zhong came here, he seemed to be restraining himself everywhere. A man who was less than 30 years old actually suppressed the Ning family and was a little breathless.

Before they could win the secret battle between each other, they kept trying to find ways to conspire. As a result, everything in Luzhou was put on the surface. Seeing them doing it, they couldn't think of any way to deal with it.

The court gave the letter to the court. He didn't care about it and warned himself that there would be no news when he gave the letter. This time the fleet was obviously covered, and the Zhang family's ship actually arrived at the place a month in advance, and no losses were discovered.

There are also those goods, almost all the troops were sent by land, and there was no way to find out at all. There were also several checkpoints on the water, and there was no way to find the goods.

Could it be that all the goods have grown wings and flew over by themselves? Even if they have flew over, they have to land?

"It seems that only by arresting those businessmen and asking questions one by one, you can't lose in the officialdom, and lose in this business, don't you think?"

The governor Ning thought of these things, and the only solution was to arrest people. Even if the merchants were arrested, the transactions in Qinzhou would be affected, and he could not lose so much.

The housekeeper listened to him, knowing that this sentence was asking himself, and quickly said, "Master, please give orders and arrest them all. There are people who have bought things. I don't believe that they can keep their mouths tight."

"Catch them, arrest them, arrest them all, don't let them go. Ask clearly how the goods were shipped. I will bear the responsibility if something happens."

Governor Ning gritted his teeth and said.

Crazy, really crazy, an idea popped up in the butler's mind.
