Saying that human beings can command evil spirits? Hehe, it’s a joke. What no one has been able to do in the past thousands of years, why does Wu Tiju dare to say that He Lingchuan, a rich man from outside, can do it?
"It changes with the times, hehe, that's a good point." Wu Ti tried to hold back his anger and simply changed the question, "Does your master have any way to force away the evil snake and keep the ship safe?"
"The He family's fleet frequently travels through the islands and has never been attacked by scorpions. It's not just luck." Ding Zuodong smiled, "My master said that he is willing to give this method to good neighbors so that we can live in harmony and make money together in the future."
Since it is called "good neighborliness", the relationship must be good.
How can we have a good relationship? Cooperate.
If Wu Tiju is making things difficult for Yangshan Islands like he is doing now, then he has no hope of keeping his own ships safe.
Thinking of the three good ships that had been scuttled, Wu Ti's heart felt like a knife, but he still had to cough slightly: "Zhao Qianshi, you can take Steward Ding on another trip. They have made serious rectifications many times, and they are quite good.
I show my sincerity and hope that everyone will be happy with the results of this inspection."
"Yes." Zhao Qianshi immediately understood the meaning of "everyone is happy".
Ding Zuodong went further: "Master Wu, we plan to open several shops in Blade Port to sell many specialties of the Yangshan Islands. On the opening day, we would like to invite you to visit us."
Are you here? Someone named He wants to invite him to the platform? Wu Tiju couldn't help but take a deep breath and said: "Okay, I'll definitely go and have a look when I have time."
Ding Zuodong smiled and bowed again before leaving with Zhao Qianshi.
When their footsteps disappeared outside the corridor, Wu Tiju punched the table: "It's too much to bully someone!"
His ship was sunk by these people, so he still had to open the door for them?
When someone named He opens a store, why should he support it?
It is tolerable, but what is intolerable!
Wu Tiju subconsciously wanted to smash something, but then he remembered that his favorite cup had been smashed just now.
After half an hour, Zhao Qianshi came back and reported:
"Permits have been issued, including permits for all stores in Yangshan Islands in Blade Port."
Wu Tiju glared at him: "What's the most important thing?"
The most important thing? Zhao Qianshi was startled and then said: "Ding Zuodong said that the shop has been renovated a long time ago and will be opened soon. Please..."
Wu Tiju smacked the table and got angry: "Who cares when it will open for business? The evil villain won't attack my ship again, right?"
Zhao Qianshi was excited: "Yes, yes, I asked! Ding Zuodong said that Yin Hui is unreasonable, but the He family fleet has found a safe route. As long as it sails on this route, the ships passing by will not be attacked by Yin Hui.
"
"Route?" Wu Tiju's heart moved.
Zhao Qianshi dipped his hand in water and drew a sketch on the table. When Wu Tiju took a look, he couldn't help but press his temples and was so angry that he laughed out loud:
"Don't they all pass through the Yangshan Islands?!"
This so-called route is almost adjacent to several newly developed islands in the Yangshan Islands!
All ships coming and going have to pass by his supply depot and his island. Wouldn’t they just send people off to his island?
Isn't it traffic when merchants, sailors and merchants travel up and down, eat, stay and travel?
The person named He is better at calculating than him!
Zhao Qianshi asked in a low voice: "Can we take this route?"
"Let's go!" Wu Tiju squeezed out the word through his teeth, "Switch all the routes in and out of the port to this route!"
Anyway, it is the person named He who has the final say whether Yin Hui will attack or not. If you want to keep the ship safe, you have to follow the route specified by He Lingchuan. Even if the person named He says that someone must stand on the bow of the ship and dance a hula to show Yin Hui,
Wu Tiju could only do as he was told.
Besides, this new route was not a long detour, but he was unwilling to do so.
The news that the Wu family's cargo ship had changed its route to avoid the evil will soon spread throughout Blade Port through the talkative boatmen and sailors. Wu Tiju knew that this news could not be hidden at all.
The Wu family's ship has set an example, and other passenger and cargo ships will soon follow suit.
After all, who doesn’t want to eliminate the hidden dangers of scorpions destroying ships and hurting people?
Alas, the person named He has made a lot of money this time. Wu Tiju can imagine that the shipping route in front of the Yangshan Islands will soon be full of traffic, and both passengers and cargo will be prosperous.
Because of the existence of pirates and scorpions, large ships on the main route were not willing to dock at the Yangshan Islands in the past unless there was strong wind and fog; usually, local small and medium-sized ships occasionally docked at the islands for supplies, but Renee's small station was always there.
dissatisfied.
This was wonderful. Wu Tiju personally used his big ship to advertise the Yangshan Islands. The key point was that he was the one who started the dispute. He lost both emotionally and rationally.
Lost to someone else's combo.
Wu Tiju took a memorial from the table and handed it to Zhao Qianshi. The letter was sealed with red clay.
My hands are shaking a little, from anger.
Zhao Qianshi took a look and saw that the last two strokes of writing on the envelope were still wet.
"The memorial and the seal are submitted to the royal court together. There are evil neighbors in Blade Port, and they are suspected of controlling evil spirits to attack passing merchant ships. This matter must be reported; in addition, this letter must be sent to Concubine Yu."
It's a coincidence that the "Herring" that was scuttled by the evil snake was actually given to Wu Tiju by Concubine Yu. The spices, sweet tea, condensate and other tributes carried on the ship were originally going to be sent to the palace after they landed ashore, including
The little intention he had to show his respect to Concubine Yu was all in vain.
Of course, Wu Tiju must report this loss to Concubine Yu.
But at this moment, the clerk from the Shipping Department ran in again, panting and shouting:
"My lord, my lord! It's great news from Min Tian of the Yangshan Islands. Three sunken ships, including the Baoji, were found in the inner bay of the West Gorge. They were all stranded on the beach. They may have been carried there by the ocean currents."
His ship! Wu Tiju stood up loudly: "Found it? Is the damage serious?"
It seems reasonable that the three ships were all attacked near the West Fjord and were driven to the nearby inner bay by the undercurrent. But Wu Ti could understand whose handiwork this was.
As soon as the license was issued, Min Tianxi came to report that the node stuck very accurately.
"Specialized personnel have rushed to check."
Three hours later.
While Wu Tiju was waiting impatiently, the shipwright from the Municipal Shipping Department returned from Baidu Bay and reported the loss.
There are several holes in the hull and need to be repaired.
The good news is that there is no structural damage to the hull, and it will not affect its use after repairs;
The bad news is that it will take a lot of time to make up for it, and these three ships will not be able to make it in time for this year's autumn harvest.
Hearing this, Wu Tiju breathed a sigh of relief even though he had expected it. His worries were finally relieved.
The boat was recovered, repaired and ready for use. Apparently this was the positive feedback the other party gave him after he gave up the Difficult Islands.
As for the goods on the ship, they were basically gone. The shipwright only found scattered goods, such as a few sets of gouache and more than a dozen bottles of perfume. They were all sealed well, and no water actually entered.
Since the ship sank, is it any wonder that most of the cargo was lost? What strange things didn't happen under the sea?
