Weishan Hubei is connected end to end with Zhaoyang Lake, Dushan Lake and Nanyang Lake, and are connected by waterways. They are collectively called the Nansi Lakes. It is the largest freshwater lake in northern China, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs beside the lake.

From the edge of Weishan Lake, you can reach the mouth of the Yellow River near Luoyang through the Huai River Tongji Canal, and then go west along the Yellow River to reach Luoyang.

Further north is the Yongji Canal, which was dug under the order of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. It was mainly used to transport the main grain in the north of the canal, and it was also a route for transporting supplies and personnel when troops were deployed in the north.

It is said that we have not actually reached our destination when we go to Weishan Lake. The main reason is that if we go further north and pass through the Tongji Canal, the smuggling ships from the south cannot pass through. They do not belong to the same sphere of influence. These routes are from the Shandong area.

The scope of the agreement between the officials of the aristocratic family and the officials of the aristocratic family in the northern Guanzhong region.

Besides, even if Xu Sihai is asked to go north, he will not go. This is completely overstepping the limit and will cost lives.

After all, there was a delay of one night first, plus the review and elimination of internal personnel, which delayed a lot of time along the way. Xu Sihai arrived at Weishan Lake much later than expected.

The person at the joint observed Xu Sihai for a while and looked at the signs of friction on the boat before he didn't come up immediately after his arrival. He waited for a long time to confirm that there was no danger again before coming over.

And the other party is very cunning. He comes by speedboat at ten o'clock when the sun is about to set. After a few words of negotiation, it will get dark. If the situation goes wrong, the other party Li Ke will row a boat into Weishan Lake, and then quickly move through the complex and intertwined reed swamps.

disappear before your eyes.

The contact person was a contact person in his 20s, with a delicate face and a hint of rebelliousness: "This boatman is on the boat trip on the water."

Xu Sihai: "From south to north, through Yangzhou to Hukou, a trip"

Contact person: "It's a prestigious ship, Boss Nan"

Xu Sihai: "It's such a small name, I wonder if you want to take the boat"

Contact person: "No need to take the boat, wait for the passengers"

Xu Sihai: "There are guests from the south on the disembarkation boat. They may be friends of Mr."

The codes were matched, and the other party signaled the boat to come closer. The two of them stepped forward and asked, "Why are you late?"

Xu Sihai replied helplessly: "I encountered officers and soldiers patrolling the river on the road."

The connector looked at the traces on the boat. They were all caused by friction and collision, but there were no traces of arrows or knives. He was very suspicious: "Are you...?"

Xu Sihai: "Those who rushed out from the opponent's center killed another group of brothers. Those who had no choice but to leave at night did not dare to walk so fast. The number of this transaction has changed."

Xu Sihai was raising the price. The other party looked at the scars on the boat, and then looked at Xu Sihai since he asked for money, which proved that it might be true, but he was not willing to give it easily: "The agreed price."

Xu Sihai said angrily: "We also agreed to make arrangements along the way. I almost turned in with the boat and the people. Fortunately, I didn't have a lamp and rushed over. Otherwise, I would have been in great trouble for you." Xu Sihai pointed to the boat.

Scar: "It's okay for my boat to go north, but if I want to go back, I can't take it, you know?"

The other party understood what Xu Sihai meant, and they encountered an official ship. With such obvious traces, they all ran away and Jiang Fang did not stop arresting them.

Contact person: "It might be okay to repair it."

He wants to lower the price.

Xu Sihai: "In case you can't make it, brothers are just waiting for the rice to go back to cook. Besides, if you have too much money, you will have your life to spend it." Xu Sihai was threatening, telling the other party that he was here full of desperadoes waiting to eat.

If you don't pay, you'll cause trouble.

The contact person frowned: "I'll ask when I get back."

Xu Sihai nodded: "Give you half an hour, if you don't see the money, we will take the goods and leave."

I'm speechless. Why is the boss of this ship from the south like this? It's not in compliance with the rules. You know, desperadoes are really unreliable.

The contact person nodded helplessly: "I'll come back in half an hour."

He ordered his servants to row a boat and entered the reed marsh of Weishan Lake. After walking around for about ten minutes, he saw several boats of similar size following Xu Sihai's boats in the reed marsh.

Boat.

Seeing that the connector was empty-handed, the owner of the boat, a middle-aged man in his early thirties, wearing silk scribe's clothing, asked him unhurriedly: "Xiaoqi, what's going on with the other party?"

General Xiaoqi also narrated what happened to Xu Sihai, and he complained: "Fourth brother, look at what those guys in the south have done. They can't control the lines well, yet they still take this job."

The owner of the boat waved his hand: "Okay, stop talking. The south is now investigating very strictly. The people sent by the new emperor are not easy to deal with. If the buyer hadn't pressed hard this time, our family wouldn't have to take this risk."

"

Xiao Qi: "Really, I don't even know what time it is. If you want it, you will know it. If it's too big, this small country will be over sooner or later."

The owner of the boat scolded Xiao Qi: "Be careful what you say"

Xiaoqi: "We are all our own people here"

The owner of the ship: "That can't be said. If even a hint of news comes out, no one in our family will be able to survive if the new emperor finds out."

Xiao Qi was stunned: "Fourth brother, our brother-in-law is not..."

The owner of the boat: "I don't know if he can save himself. Besides, if he knows what we are doing, he might be the first to lead his troops and hang our whole family."

"Okay, I got it, I got it, it's true." When he said this, he was naturally unconvinced: He just wanted to teach me, if I had known this, why would I do this? There is no shortage of money at home.

The owner of the boat told Xiao Qi: "Go ahead and tell the other party that you can add some to the price and unload the goods as soon as possible. I don't know how to take this road to the south in the future."

Xiao Qi nodded: "Okay"

After agreeing, Xiaoqi took the boat again and came to Xu Sihai's boat: "Okay, the head of our family agreed, and I will give you some more."

The other party actually agreed. It seems that the profit will not be less this time, no wonder.

Xu Sihai: "Follow the rules"

Xiao Qi: "Sure"

The rules are actually very simple. Take one boat out first, follow the other party into the reed swamp, unload the goods, come out after finishing, tell Xu Sihai that it is done, the people here will give you money for one boat, the second boat will go in, and the first boat will come to the boss to wait.

On the side of the ship, both parties began to exchange cargo.

There is no need to go to Xu Sihai's ship. The money is all with him, and he can then divide it when he goes back to prevent his subordinates from taking the money and running away.

Xu Sihai waved his hand to signal the first boat to go over and enter the reed swamp. Naturally, other boats came to meet him, and both parties began to unload the cargo.

When you're done, leave, the second, the third, until the goods are completed.

What if someone sees it?

This era is not as good as modern times. There are people everywhere. Very few people come to the depths of the large lake, which is tens of kilometers away. Besides, there are people stationed in the surrounding small rivers. If there is any problem, an alarm will be issued.

Things went smoothly between the two parties. Xu Sihai took the money and left after the transaction was completed.

When they came to the border of Yangzhou again, the whole sky of Yangzhou had changed.
Chapter completed!
