Chapter 168
The New Year's Elegance
Ji Jinsi was about to set off, but suddenly thought of a question: "Who is in charge of Longkou? Is the Sun brothers' words effective?"
Although the Sun brothers are old friends with him, the matter is now related to the life and death of Heishan Island. Ji Jinsi had to think twice before acting. His old friend immediately said: "I heard that it was a pier built by Liu Peng, Master Liu and Jiang Haotian. The Sun brothers were just to fight for Master Liu and Jiang Haotian. They could help to speak, but whether it was effective or not, it was hard to say."
Although Ji Jinsiyuan was on the sea, he knew the situation on the land. Not only did he arrange spies in Penglai Water City, but he would go ashore and personally understand the inside story of Denglai's two palaces. Sometimes he would just take a shore for ten days and half a month to thoroughly investigate the situation in Denglai.
Therefore, when the other party said, "Liu Peng, Master Liu", he immediately asked, "Is it the Young Master Liu in Huang County? The benefactor of the Sun brothers?"
Liu Peng has become a legend among the refugees in Liaodong. Even if there is no image of the Buddhas of the Wanjia family, everyone has already spread the word to each other to completely make Liu Peng a complete myth, as if this young master Liu is Mengchangjun and Chunshenjun. There is nothing he can't do in the ground of Huangxian.
The part that the story that reached Ji Jinsi's ears was not considered a myth, but it was already a legend. Ji Jinsi was very impressed by Liu Peng and Liu. He knew that on the ground of Huang County, there was nothing that could not be done as long as Liu Da Shao spoke a message.
The other party gave a clear reply: "Yes, it's the young master Liu Peng and Liu in Huang County. Except for Liu Peng and Liu, who would dare to open a port at this time? I heard that this young master Liu has a connection with the capital, and even has something to do with the Sili Supervisor and the Jinyiwei."
When Ji Jinsi heard that Liu Peng had a relationship with the Jinyiwei, he immediately made up his mind and Zhang Fan rushed towards Longkou. He met two familiar Liaodong refugee ships along the way. Ji Jinsi asked them out for a few more words.
Although there is no ban on the sea yet, these ships owned by the refugees and fleeing troops in Liaodong can no longer enter the port. The master said that he would have to wait until after the Yuanxiao Festival. However, everyone knows that if he really believed the master at that time, even if he didn't beat a dog, he would be closed and beat a dog.
Now these two ships don’t know where to dock next. They don’t know that a new private port is opened in Longkou. Instead, they know many of Liu Peng’s deeds. Some people on the ship even met Liu Peng a few times, and immediately said Liu Peng very well, making Ji Jinsi’s confidence become more and more determined.
As a result, he took the boat directly into Longkou Port. The Sun brothers were very enthusiastic about him and made many promises. Of course, Ji Jinsi returned the same enthusiasm. However, he also knew that no matter how enthusiastic and generous the Sun brothers were, they could not solve his current problems. Only the legendary Young Master Liu Peng, who is related to the Silijian and Jinyiwei, could solve his current problems.
Therefore, when he saw Liu Peng, he ignored his identity and kowtowed to Liu Peng: "Now, only Liu Shao can save my hungry people from Heishan Island in all Denglai, Shandong. Please allow me to stop at Longkou to buy a batch of rice, grain, oil and salt. If I hadn't rushed back in time, I'm afraid that people would starve to death on the island!"
"No problem!" Liu Peng immediately agreed: "This is no problem. Since Brother Ji is here, should I still keep people from thousands of miles away? When they come, they are all guests. Brother Ji just needs to do it with confidence, but..."
Liu Peng asked Li Minghai, who was following Gu Mengyu, and said, "Is the rice, grain, oil and salt we have prepared here?"
"I'm afraid it's not enough!" Li Minghai replied immediately: "Brother Ji will ask for no less!"
This is the truth. There are more than 100 people in Heishan Island, and they take at least one month's supply, which will cost all the stocks in Longkou. Therefore, Liu Peng immediately said: "Brother Ji, I can do my best to help you solve some of the remaining parts. Please go to the county town to buy them yourself!"
Before Ji Jinsi could speak, business was already started: "Brother Ji Jinsi, if it is inconvenient to come back from the county town to get goods, you can come to me. It is okay to have any carriage, ox carriage, mule, donkey, I, Wu Menghui, have it on my hands. Even on New Year's Eve, I can transport you to Longkou."
Ji Jinsi asked in surprise: "Mr. Liu, don't you buy and sell bags here in Longkou?"
Whether it is Ji Jinsi, other ordinary merchants, or even some very well-informed maritime merchants, the most troublesome problem they encounter is that they cannot trade freely when they arrive at the port, but are tricky by the fangs, and the only profits are filled in the bottomless edge of the fangs.
Even if there is no Yachuan in the ports of Denglai Prefecture, there are organizations corresponding to Yachuan. The reason why Xu Zhen was unwilling to go to Huanghe Village was that Huangbaihu and the master of Dengzhou Prefecture set up a fishing railing. The catch could only be sold to this fishing railing, but not to other merchants. But this fishing railing knows how to go with the market. As long as there are fishing boats entering the port, they will immediately start to sell the price, killing Mr. Xu's face is dull.
The yarn shop’s bag buying and selling not only loses most of the profits, but also has to bear a long accounting period. It is very likely that the payment will be recovered in a few months or even years, not to mention the shocking risks that may be borne. Therefore, the maritime merchants are born with hating the bag buying and selling, but no matter where they go, the bag buying and selling is an unavoidable problem.
Ji Jinsi never expected that Longkou was actually a real free trade, and he also allowed himself to go to Huangxian County to purchase goods. He received a clear answer from Liu Peng and asked again: "Mr. Liu, I will ask again. Longkou really doesn't know how to buy bags and sell bags! Don't say that there is no tooth now. When we deliver the goods in the future, we will kill us again!"
Liu Peng immediately made a promise to Ji Jinsi: "Brother Ji, don't worry, our Longkou has the rules of Longkou. If you stop at our Longkou, you spend more money than other places. If you don't have silver, you have to use goods to pay off your debt. When paying off your debt, you will suffer losses than other places. But don't worry, our Longkou emphasizes freedom of trading. If you don't want to do business in our Longkou, you can go to other places!"
Liu Peng added: "My Liu's words work. You can ask when I will not keep my word. Just go to the county town to buy and sell goods. If I, Liu Peng, dare to forcefully buy and sell in the future, then I will not die a good death!"
Ji Jinsi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that there would be such a big gain in Longkou. In this way, he could not only purchase more rice, grain, oil and salt this time, but also purchase some urgently used medicines on the island in the county.
For Heishan Island, the source of the medicines is always a big problem that cannot be solved. Although he has some ideas in Shuicheng, it is fine to import some rice, grain, oil and salt. If you want to purchase more medicines, you will be subject to investigation and difficulties. Unexpectedly, Longkou is not under control at all.
