Chapter Four Hundred and Thirty First Climbing Fenglin Country(1/2)
The matter in Saiyuan City has come to an end. Huang Xia also followed some people here before. Among the people who were rescued and treated, there were actually three Huang Xia. So what happened next, Fang Zhuo gave up to Huang Xia. Needless to say
What, those three emperor knights have experienced the horror here, so they will naturally handle the affairs here well.
Fang Zhuo had been out for about twenty days this time, and he returned in the blink of an eye. He could go anywhere quickly by touching the bronze mirror.
The emperor of Nanzhuo Kingdom, Zhuo Haokuo, had fairly good political skills. Half of the civil servants and generals in the DPRK were sent out. The civil servants implemented the new policy and reclaimed the land outside Bianshan. The military generals led the work and rest, expanded the roads in Bianshan, and also checked the roads.
The road to the north will be repaired.
The passenger ship has been anchored on the west coast of Nanzhuo Kingdom for more than two months. When Fang Zhuan got on the ship, he listened to the seven Feng Lun people complaining about being too boring. When they docked at the port of the Fire Nation, they were treated as distinguished guests, and Nanzhuo Kingdom
The sight of the passenger ship made them so frightened that they dared not approach it.
Although the passenger ships were parked here, the merchant ships had already returned to Ling'an Country, and because the first batch of merchant ships made dozens or even hundreds of times the money, more merchants began to purchase ships from various shipbuilding workshops.
Everyone wants to make a fortune.
The people in Muchen didn't know how much money they could make. At first, they just sent two wooden cargo ships to Ling'an Country to purchase goods. The merchants calculated the time. If they transported the goods back to Muchen, the difference between time and the price of the goods would be the same as land transportation.
The sale was almost done, and when I felt that there was no good profit, I heard that Ling'an Kingdom had already sailed south by sea, and the profit from the price difference was very huge. I sold the goods on the ship and made a lot of money. I also purchased other goods locally and shipped them back.
Another profit was made. It took a long time to go back and forth, but the profit was frighteningly high. Therefore, these two cargo ships prepared to follow the second batch of Ling'an cargo ships heading south.
The road to sea trade has just begun. The south of Jiaokou County is where the Beiwang Village where Fang Zhuo lost his memory is. There is a beautiful beach. Three kilometers to the southeast of the beach is the deep-water port. Fang Zhuo took this place
The planning for the port was reported to Zhuo Xijun.
"Why do we need this place?" Zhuo Xihun was puzzled. Looking at the map, she thought that the port should be built close to the Kingdom of Jinqi, so that future trade can face two countries in one port, and even trade with the Fire Country in the future.
, you can also choose to trade at that port.
Fang Zhuo took a bite of a huge strawberry and said, "I don't care where your country is built. Anyway, Nanzhuo Country is surrounded by the sea, uh... forget about the Antarctic Circle, it's all covered with thousands of years of thick ice. I want a port.
, I will build it, and I will also collect the management fees in the future. You will only charge your tariffs, so there will be no delay, and...next to the port, I will build a port city that echoes the Jiaokou County of Ling'an Country!"
Originally, he didn't plan to invest in Nanzhuo Kingdom, but after thinking about it, he decided to strike first, lest Fang Zhuo would not be able to get involved when Nanzhuo Kingdom recovered its strength and would not earn any benefits.
"Okay, I'll send a letter to my father right now! As for your plan to build a city, I will also report it, but I don't think my father will give it a go."
"Don't worry, the emperor is absolutely accurate. If you don't believe it, let's make a bet?"
"What do you want to block?"
"Hey, if the emperor agrees, he will help take care of Miaoyu Pavilion, and Qian Zheng's mother and son. They are all poor people. Although the food and accommodation here are not bad, and they are not missing anything, you see
Look, those two little guys are either helping to dig fish ponds every day, or fishing for fish and shrimp in exchange for a little money."
"Why are they like this? Don't they enjoy happiness?" Zhuo Xihu asked.
"Haha, their mother used to live under someone else's roof. The two sons didn't want to live and eat for free, so they did something within their ability every day. They saved the little money they got in exchange for it, saying that if I encounter any difficulties in the future,
They can take out the money at any time to repay their kindness. These two brothers, hey... When they are old enough to go to school, you Nan Zhuo, your education is too backward, help find a better wife for them. Reading and literacy are a must. In the future, they will go
Which direction to develop depends on them."
"It's okay to ask for a master, but what do you mean when you say education is backward?" Zhuo Xijun asked.
"I've told you this, you can't do it now. Within five years, we will first solve the people's food problem, and then consider other things. Education is something you must follow up on in the future. If you are interested, you can come back later.
Now that the port in Beiwang Village has been completed, you can send a delegation or pretend to be businessmen to visit Ling'an Country. You can learn from many places."
"Now that I know the Imperial Master, I will definitely arrange for someone to go there."
"Well, remember, the national conditions are different. Don't copy them. That will cause problems." Fang Zhuo finally reminded him that he had important things to do. The seven Feng Lun people discovered an inland river in Feng Lin Country.
, it is very spacious and you can go directly north to the Yuanshui Country. Fang Zhuan has never been to Fenglin Country, Yuanshui Country, or Fire Country.
If Fenglin Country has an inland river that can lead to Yuanshui Country, then the future sea trade route can cover all countries on this continent. As for the boundary west of Fenglin Country, Fang Zhuan has not yet planned to explore it.
The passenger ship stayed on the west coast of Nanzhuo Kingdom for two months, just to wait for Fang Zhuan, who wanted to take a trip to the inland river of Fenglin Kingdom and take a good look at the scenery of Fenglin Kingdom.
Taking a boat to the north, the narrowest strait is only a few dozen kilometers wide. The boat is traveling in the middle, and you can completely see the mountains of Fenglin Kingdom on the left and the towering mountains of Nanzhuo Kingdom on the right.
Since the Feng Lun Seven set sail, they have often screamed at the sea. The feeling of setting off for the waves again makes them extremely excited.
Passing through the narrowest strait and driving more than three hundred kilometers, we saw the incomparably spacious inland river that Feng Lun said. Feng Lun also showed off his experience in rivers and lakes, "Young master, this river is the Yuanfeng River.
These are the names of the two countries we pass through, easy to remember!"
"Well! Have you asked about how long the river is and what kind of fish are in it?" Fang Zhuo asked jokingly.
"Uh... fish, I think they are all about the same, so I didn't ask. As for how long the river is, those small broken wooden boats are all talking about time. With their boat speed, how can they compare with our speed?
So I didn’t ask.”
When Fang Zhuan heard this, he immediately felt that he had let a fool become the captain. "The daily sailing distance of a wooden boat is almost the same. They told you the time, so you can simply make a rough estimate. When you become the captain, remember to use your brain for these things in the future.
!”
"That's right. Why didn't I think of it? Hey, Master, Lun'er understands! I promise this won't happen again in the future. They said there is a wharf at the mouth of the inland river. Lun'er will go find out more when we get there."
"Uh...who did you learn this accent from? Why do you use all the pronunciations?" Fang Zhuo was curious. It had been a long time since he had seen the seven brothers, but they had changed a lot. He could speak Chinese more and more fluently, and he could still use Chinese.
The word "er" is pronounced.
"Master, aren't these words from TV dramas? Lun'er likes the sound, and Xia'er and Dong'er also like it."
"Oh no, you listened to the young master and I called them Xia'er and Dong'er, so you added the word "er" after your own name, right?"
"Hehe, that's right. This will save the young master more effort in the future. When calling Feng Kun, he can directly call Kun'er. Hehe, doesn't it feel smoother?"
"Okay, I was wrong. I won't let you stay at sea for so long next time. Will you even be able to speak English after a while?"
"Oh NO, Master, Lun'er is too stupid to learn!"
Fang Zhuan slapped him on the face without saying a word.
Hundreds of TV series and thousands of movies are just for these guys on the passenger ship to kill time, but Fang Zhuo never expected that the learning ability of the seven Feng Lun people is so strong.
On the Fenghe River, the source of the domestic river in Fenglin, we arrived at the first river port, Xianghai County, in the evening.
The county seat is only a few hundred meters away from the port, and the city walls are almost adjacent to the port. The dock at dusk looks very depressed, and there is no busy scene.
Fang Zhuan asked Feng Lun and others to continue sailing forward in the boat, while he walked on land himself.
The reason for walking on land by yourself is precisely because the appearance of the people of Fenglin Country is the same as that of Ling'an and other countries. It is different if it is the Fire Country. The people there are not tall and have red skin. If Fang Zhuo appears in the Fire Country, he will not be able to hide it.
Yes, you can tell it's a crooked nut at a glance. Since you can't go to the Fire Country, you must go to the Fenglin Country.
When the passenger ship arrived at the port in Xianghai County, it still attracted the attention of people on the port, but the light was poor and Fang Zhuo was not seen jumping off the passenger ship.
The county city gate was about to be closed when Fang Zhuan rushed over with a sudden step. The soldiers who closed the city gate only felt a gust of wind blowing by.
The city gate was closed, and people on the street returned to their homes one after another. Fang Zhuan didn't even have the chance to express his feelings about his first arrival in Fenglin Country. He found an inn near dusk and stayed in it.
In the dining room of the inn, more than a dozen people were forming a circle. "Boss, the soldiers on the city wall just said that they discovered the wealthy merchant ship of Ling'an Kingdom. Should we... go grab a vote?"
Fang Zhuo was able to find this inn precisely because the person he was talking to was running hurriedly on the street. Driven by curiosity, Fang Zhuo followed him. When he saw it was an inn, he stopped in.
A group of people were standing in a circle, and Fang Zhuan couldn't see anyone in the circle. However, the person who just spoke was obviously bending down to speak, which means that there should be someone in the middle of the circle.
The boss he talks about.
After requesting a room, Fang Zhuan didn't rush to the room. He found a table in the dining room and sat down.
After a while, a female voice came from the circle of people, "Hu Sanxiao, do you think we people can rob the wealthy businessman's boat in the river?"
After the woman finished speaking, a gap formed in the circle formed by a group of people. Everyone looked at a middle-aged man in the direction of the gap. It seemed that that man was Hu Sanbiao.
The middle-aged man did not answer immediately. He took a sip of the wine in front of him, put it down slowly, and then said slowly: "You want to go on the right path and establish a sect, but you have no money, and you plan to be a bandit. Haha, this right path is terrible.
That's not how you left!"
"Hu Sanxiao, if I know how to follow the right path, who can I ask you to be a master? To participate in the Wulin Immortal Association, you must have a sect. If you want to have a sect, you must have a place to establish a sect. If you don't have money, how can you find a place?
Are you asking us to live on the top of the mountain? Let me tell you, if I, Hu Guoguo, can’t compare to the green-haired old monster, I will become a nun immediately!”
Hearing the woman say his name, Fang Zhuan couldn't help it, and burst out laughing, "Pfft!" Although there was not much movement, several people still cast angry looks.
Fortunately, the middle-aged man named Hu Sanxia spoke up and came to Fang Zhuo's rescue, "Cousin, Hu Sanxia has a small reputation in the world. You tricked me back with a letter, and... You want me to be like you... Hey! Isn't it nonsense for these people to be masters? I can't write, I only know a few big characters! Don't make trouble! In three days, I still have to return to the sect, and the total family leave is It’s only half a month, five years... I only have the chance to visit my relatives once every five years, and you still deceived me!”
"Stop talking nonsense, the bet between me and the green-haired old monster is related to the future of Xianghai County!" Hu Guoguo said.
"Come on! Cousin, what kind of future can this small poor county have? Besides, you are just fighting for ownership of a few hills and have nothing to do with this poor county." Hu Sanxi said.
"The top of the mountain? Isn't that the top of the mountain from Xianghai County? And it's close to the sea, so the location is very critical. If all the passing ships are stopped by the green-haired old man in the future, what else will be harvested from Xianghai County?" Hu Guoguo said said.
"Hey! The people of Ling'an Kingdom are rich and the ships are big and plentiful. But it is said that there are big ferocious beasts in the sea to the east. It is indeed a miracle that they can come here. I don't know how they came here, but... "Even if they come here, they will just go to Shengxicheng in the west. How can they go to the inland river to do business? Don't look at how poor this place is." Hu Sanxi said.
"Didn't you hear what Gouzi just said? All the wealthy merchant ships from Ling'an Kingdom have arrived at the dock. How about we go take a look tomorrow morning?" Hu Guoguo said.
"Haha, maybe you got lost, or you came here to explore the road. Seeing how poor we are in Yuanfenghe, we will never come here again! Moreover, you also want to rob others. If you are robbed, what do you say to them? Will it come again? If there are no ships entering and exiting the Yuanfeng River from the sea, what does it mean who owns those mountains you mentioned?" Hu Sanbai's words left a group of people confused, and they couldn't even pass it for a long time. God comes.
It was completely dark, and there were only two small oil lamps lit in the dining room. The dim light made Hu Sanxiang unable to sit still, "Look, this county is poor, and there are only two lamps in the inn. Alas! I go to sleep!"
Hu Sanxia strode away, as if he was avoiding the plague, without looking back, and strode to the dining room.
This inn really doesn't have any money. It doesn't even have a second floor. There is a dining room along the street and the guest rooms at the back.
The dim light, with the oil lamp still swaying in the wind, was really uncomfortable. Fang Zhuo also wanted to leave, but was surrounded by several people, "Boy, you just laughed at our boss and want to leave? It's not that easy. ."
I just laughed at Hu Guoguo's name as childish. I originally thought that their conversation had covered up the past, but I didn't expect that those guys who just stared at Fang Zhuo would come to make trouble later.
Fang Zhuo didn't say anything, wanting to see if these people would take action. At this moment, the innkeeper came over with an oil lamp and said, "You are all gentlemen, why bother arguing with this scholar? Do your business with a small business." , I hope you won’t act rashly.”
