Chapter 153 Abandoning Jia Shengcai suddenly-1

Guangzhou Western Australia Pier, with traffic and people coming and going. Guangzhou is the first major port for the Southwest Sea fleet to return to the Song Dynasty. Since the Southwest Sea fleet went out to sea, ships loaded with treasures arrived in Guangzhou every once in a while. Vendors from all over the world gathered in Guangzhou again. The sea market, which had been silent for a long time due to the pirates' rebellion, was very lively. Some ships unloaded goods in Guangzhou, while some ships replenished a batch of water in Guangzhou, and then drove to Yangzhou, Quanzhou and other ports in the north. Originally, Guangzhou City was west.

The lookout building has been destroyed by war. Although the sea waves are clear and flat, in order to see the sea ships earlier, the Nanshi Chamber of Commerce raised funds to rebuild the lookout building on the seawall. The building was thirteen floors high. This floor was built with iron and stone. The six floors above were wooden towers, which was one and a half times taller than the seven-story lookout building built by the government in the past. This is not counting. The Chamber of Commerce also raised funds to build a lighthouse in Zhuhai. The tower body was in the shape of a beautiful face. At night, lanterns were lit, and the light was shining, just like a white jade pillar stood on the sea during the day, and could be seen clearly for dozens of miles away.

"Oh, people say that the land transport moves south, and the Khitan is in chaos in the north. How can we enjoy peace than my Lingnan?"

"In these peaceful years, General Zhao will be the first to eliminate pirates!"

"We came to avoid disaster at the beginning, but now I think about it, but it's a blessing! The mountains of Lingnan are warm and soft, and we get the benefits of treasures on the sea. In a few years, I'm afraid it's not worse than Jiangnan. Some people are still planning to move back, but I really don't know what they think?"

"Hey, everyone has their own ambitions. I just came south with all my hardships, and I don't want to move anymore."

"Eh?" The old man wearing a croaker hat put down his tea bowl, stood up, and said happily, "The treasure ship has sailed into Zhuhai."

"Really?" Sun Shen also stood up in surprise and joy, bowed, "Old Fu, say goodbye, I'll go to the dock to take a look."

"Sun Dong's family, please." Ge Pao's old man smiled, "If there is a good product, I hope I can transfer it to me some share."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Sun Shen nodded indifferently, said a few politely and hurried out.

He was one of the big merchants who had invested in the Southwest Sea fleet. According to the rules of the business, every treasure ship docked, and the merchants who invested in the company could give priority to bid for half of the goods. Today, the market is like cooking oil, and it is eager to demand treasure goods. Every sea ship full of treasure goods sailed into Guangzhou and was immediately robbed. It was like not having money. Sun Shen and others' right of priority immediately showed an advantage. On that day, he was fortunate to attend the invitation banquet of Zhao Xingde and Guangzhou Maritime Warehouse and spent a lot of money to bid for treasure goods. The merchants who invested in the fleet all had their status in the market, and he became increasingly arrogant.

The dock was already full of bustling crowds.

Some of the merchants who came to hear the news and wanted to have a drink, but more of them were small merchants who joined in the fun.

The porter who was looking for work looked around, the idle people in the market were looking forward to it, and many children were riding on the shoulders of adults and looking at the sea from afar. Every time the sea boats docked, the dock was as lively as a festival. Everyone was waiting and talking enthusiastically.

"Where is the boat? Where is the boat? Why don't you even have a shadow?" someone asked impatiently.

"Hey, this brother is rarely seen. I don't know that the ground is like a big ball. The boat is on the other side of the big ball. If you can see it on the watchtower, we can't see it. By the way, I said that if the ground is like a big ball, you may not believe it, right?" Before the scholar could finish the strange and strange theory I just saw on the news, someone next to him immediately said: "I'm so poor, don't pretend. The sound of the wind on the docking of this sea boat is seen first, and then the chess piece was reported to the watchtower. It was not seen directly by the watchtower!"

"This..., but what the young actor said is round, it is absolutely true. If you don't believe it, you can read the latest Ezhou diary."

The scholar stuttered and before he could explain, someone shouted loudly: "Here, ship, ship!" No one paid attention to him again.

Sun Shen stood in the crowd and looked into the distance with everyone. Two ships appeared at the intersection of sea and sky, a five-masted hard-sailed fast ship and a three-masted fast ship. Everyone cheered, but Sun Shen sighed with a disappointment. Such fast ships are fast, but unfortunately they have too few goods to hold. Even if he has the right to purchase goods first, so many people have a cent and there are still favors to deal with, he can't lose much. Sea goods are a profitable business. Before he knew it, Sun Shen's appetite has been raised much larger than before.

It took half an hour from the appearance of the sea boat to the docking. When the anchor chain was thrown off the side of the ship and the water splashed everywhere, everyone waiting on the shore cheered in unison. The porters rushed to the front in a hurry. The deacons of the merchants who returned from the voyage were the most generous. They did a day's work for unloading the treasure ship, which was enough to be a normal four or five days' worth of work. Sun Shen took a few steps back and did not squeeze with others, and stood on the dock a certain distance from the sea boat. The two ships put down several small boats. After the docking, the deacons were busy looking for the porters, and the shopkeeper was busy reporting to the major owners. A shopkeeper saw Sun Shen from a distance and immediately walked over quickly.

"Shopkeeper Wu, what's the situation at sea?" Sun Shen asked in a slight voice. He saw that Old Wu was uneasy and his heart was tight.

"Sun Dong's family, something big is not good." Manager Wu said with a bitter face when he saw the question.

"What? Dragon absorbs water or storm? How many ships have they damaged?"

Sun Shenqiang pressed his anxiety and asked while taking Manager Wu out of the crowd. There was a ox cart outside the prime minister.

"None of them, the head of the country, the court, the Xia court forced most of the merchant ships to transport food and grass to the west."

"What?" Sun Shen clenched his palm in his sleeves, his heart sank, and he couldn't believe it, "Really?"

"It's true." Manager Wu nodded bitterly, and hesitated, "Also, General Zhao has drawn up a compensation clause."

"Stop talking!" Sun Shen interrupted him rudely, "The big thing is not good!" He ignored Manager Wu, reached out and slapped the ox cart's cart, and said in a hoarse voice, "Go to Fuhaixing's residence to report the station, hurry up!" The ox cart moved, and Sun Shen took a light breath. At this time, he felt a faint pain from his palm. He looked at Manager Wu who was silent and explained with a calm face: "What's going to happen in Nanhai Coupon."

"Nanhai Coupon?!" Manager Wu's mind didn't turn around for a moment, "What?"

Sun Shen ignored him with a calm face. He was already confused. He had nothing else to do except sell the South China Sea coupon quickly.

One night, just one night after two sea boats docked in Guangzhou, the next morning, the South China Sea coupons of Zhengxintang in Yangzhou began to fall for no reason. Some rumors began to spread among the big merchants. Some people were skeptical and asked for more accurate news everywhere. Others, like Sun Shen, were willing to lower prices and sought to sell them. The police sent people to sell the South China Sea coupons in Zhengxintang as soon as possible. "Sell it quickly, it's better to hold it in your hand. The straw paper starts.

The code can also wipe your butt." The Zhengxin Hall was in a panic. Many merchants not only sold the South China Sea coupons, but even the Hebei coupons they had. More people were not sure, so some people were just buying the South China Sea coupons for a low price. They were extremely happy. After a stick of incense, they were anxious to sell them at a lower price. More than an hour later, Su Tongfu, the head of the Zhengxin Hall, also received real news that Xia Guo had requisitioned merchant ships.

"Damn it, Di Baosi is really damn!" Su Tongfu took the late Di Baozi and looked at the chaotic lobby downstairs.

The clerk was serving the side tremblingly, not knowing whether it was because of Lord Su's anger or the chaos in the hall. Di Baosi had already used the fastest Geyi, but because of the slight delay of the postmen, Zhengxin Hall was still much later than some merchants. The delay of this night, one hour or two hours seemed insignificant, but if the arrangements were made early, the situation would not be as uncontrollable as it is now. It would not be like now, the chaos in Zhengxin Hall was even greater than that in the Guangzhou riots.

The sudden bad news was like a hurricane blew into the Hall of Executions, and shock, rumors, and despair were floating in the air.

No one would have thought that a war between the Xia Kingdom and the Turks would affect the Song Dynasty, which was tens of thousands of miles away.

But this is true, even related to your wealth and life. Is this possible? Many people can't believe it. However, it happened.

Anything like this can happen, what else can't happen? It's like a tower collapsed.

Many people are like crazy and want to exchange paper for solid money, whether it is a South China Sea coupon or a Hebei coupon.

The credit of the court was not as good as a piece of straw paper, but it was confirmed again.

The Zhengxin Hall was crowded with people, and it seemed that all Yangzhou had bought the South China Sea coupons to flock here.

Countless arms waved thin pieces of paper, as if the pink butterflies on the grave were flapping their wings.

"Sell it cheaply! Do you want it?" "Buy mine, mine is cheaper than him!" "Hey, I'll arrive first, register it for me to sell it first!" The rich merchants who were smiling and even promising in the past were now full of blue veins, their eyes widened, and shouted at the top of their lungs, as if they were trapped beasts falling into a trap. Some time ago, the South China Sea coupon and the Hebei coupons rose so well. Many people made a fortune, which made people excited, so more people got involved, and some bold people were willing to mortgage their shops and borrowed money from the people to buy the South China Sea coupons. If they lost all their money, many people would not only lose their money, but even could not even save their lives.

"The building is about to collapse, but it is hard to support it." Su Tongfu murmured. He walked to the window outside, opened the curtain and looked out.
