protect our patriarch

Chapter 46 Hundred Islands Sands
……

With such a beating expression, Wang Shouzhe's mouth twitched twice. After taking a few deep breaths, he stabilized his emotions. He waved his hand and said, "It's alright, alright, you didn't do anything wrong, just sit down and talk."

Wang Lici immediately found a stool and sat down, only a little on his butt, posing as if he was obediently listening to the teachings of his fourth uncle.

"It can be seen that the ancestor still likes you." Wang Shouzhe said, "When you are on the boat, you can talk to the ancestor more to make her happy."

Is that what happened?It's not like being trained.

Wang Lici relaxed from her tense state and nodded in agreement.He moved his butt towards the back of the stool and sat up to correct himself. He habitually took out a piece of candied fruit to suppress his shock, and then he calmly started eating.

Such a heartless appearance made Wang Shouzhe's eyelids jump.

As a result, he calmly took out two books from his arms and threw them to her: "These are "Selected Poems of Long Zuo Past Dynasties" and "Cuiju Mountain Hermit's Pen Talks", which were bought by the fourth uncle in Donggang just now. It is said that It's quite literary."

After a pause, he said: "In the morning, when I listened to you recite the famous book "Deng Tian Lan Ye Guan Qiong", your voice was full of emotion and rhythm. It seems that you are very good at literature. Simply put these two books in the fastest time. I read the book very well, but I recited it to the old ancestor to relieve the boredom. The old ancestor likes the children who study hard the most, and she must be very happy for the elderly. "

"scare?"

Wang Lici's eyes were rounded, and the candied fruit in her mouth was no longer chewing. Some babies' fat faces were full of horror. Uncle Four, Four Four Four... You, you, are you a devil?

"Well, the fourth uncle is very pleased with your surprised expression." Wang Shouzhe said hospitable, "Do you like it?"

Wang Lici's tears rolled down her cheeks, but she could only hold back her grievances, pulled out a "joyful" smile, and choked up and said, "Many, thank you Fourth Uncle, I like it so much..."

"Lici, looking at you crying with joy, it shows that Fourth Uncle's hard work has not been in vain." Wang Shouzhe touched her head and said apologetically, "Speaking of which, Fourth Uncle is not good. This trip was too rushed, so I had time to buy it. I bought two copies. When I go back to Baidaowei, I will definitely buy you a few more copies, maybe our family will have a writer in the future."

Wang Lici was so heartbroken that she suddenly felt that the color of life was leaving her, and her eyes were full of gloom.

Fortunately, there are preserves.

The sweet taste in her mouth seemed to be the only bright color in her future gray life, the source of hope.

"By the way." Wang Shouzhe frowned again and said, "It's okay to eat snacks like candied fruit occasionally. If you eat too much, you will hurt your teeth and you will easily gain weight. Look at your face. Your face is round. Take it all out, Fourth Uncle will take care of you. custody."

boom!
These words slammed into Wang Lici's head like a thunderbolt. Tears flowed out uncontrollably, and he took out a bag of candied fruit.

"Not only?"

Then she took out another bag.

"Hehe~"

Then another pack.

After taking out five packets, Wang Lici held the two books and burst into tears: "No, really no more. Fourth uncle, it's getting late, I, I'm going to study..."

Then she ran away in a hurry, as if escaping from a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire.

After she ran away, Wang Shouzhe laughed and brewed a pot of tea and drank it with satisfaction. Little girl, can't the fourth uncle treat you?
The training of the eldest niece was but a blip.

After Wang Shouzhe took a short rest, he took out the booklet given by his future brother-in-law, Chen Fangjie, and slowly flipped through it.Although Wang Clan has heard of Baidaowei, the relevant intelligence records within the clan are relatively small, and the information is relatively old.

Donggang Chen has more contact with Baidaowei, and the intelligence is naturally detailed.This booklet records some of Baidaowei's forces, families, situations, and the characteristics of objects that should not be provoke at will.

The more he read this booklet, the more shocked Wang Shouzhe was. Baidaowei's forces were indeed much more intricate than Changningwei's. First of all, there were dozens of large and small families.

Some of those aristocratic families are relatively weak and occupy an island alone.Some are tyrannical, spanning several or even dozens of islands.

The main island is called Jinsha Island. It is said that thousands of years ago, this island was rich in Jinsha, which triggered bloody competition among some Xuanwu families.The official government dispatched masters to forcefully suppress it, and the situation stabilized after the establishment of Hundred Island Guards here.In a few hundred years, the sands have been fully mined, and some remaining Xuanwu families have divided the Baidao and gradually derived the current pattern.

Due to the complex and remote geographical environment of Baidaowei, and now there is no Jinsha, the control of the officials here is gradually weakening.Therefore, there is no shortage of loose cultivators who are wanted for committing crimes, families expelling their children, or some pirates who want to cleanse themselves, etc., and they will also come to Baidaowei.

Fortunately, Donggang Chen has been operating on the main island of Sands in Baidaowei for many years, with a wide network of people and a solid foundation.

As long as you don't make trouble, the security issue is not that big.Otherwise, Chen Fangjie would definitely not dare to let Wang Shouzhe go to Baidaowei. If something serious happened, how could Chen Fangjie get it?

However, the chaos of Baidaowei has turned into chaos, but it has also spawned some characteristic industries that are not found in other places.

Such as the black market!

The Jinsha black market is the property of the only Tianren family in Baidaowei, with a history of 200 years.In the black market, all identities can be disguised and hidden. As long as you have money, you can buy what you want in the most secret way, and you can also secretly sell your things at will, even some contraband, or It's swag!

The black market doesn't care who you are, let alone where your money and things come from. They are only responsible for maintaining order, credibility and taking a cut.

Order and credibility are the basis for a black market to survive.

Because people who go to the black market are often very sensitive to the exposure of their identities, if there is any trouble, they will be discouraged.It can be seen that the Sands black market has been able to stand for 200 years, and its development scale is getting bigger and bigger. It must pay great attention to credibility and order.

As soon as I saw the news of this black market.

Wang Shouzhe had some vague guesses in his heart, the ancestor of Longyan should have come to the black market, and the purpose of her trip was probably guessed by Wang Shouzhe's wisdom.

Immediately his brows furrowed, this kind of thing was something he didn't want to see.After getting off the boat, I need to talk to the ancestors of Longyan. There are some things, there is no need to do that step.

But she is an ancestor after all. Once she decides to do something, I am afraid that she has been thinking about it for a long time. How can I persuade her?

Wang Shouzhe's face became more and more solemn, and he tapped the table with his fingers and thought quickly.

Time, little by little.

More than 20 hours passed in a flash, and the huge ship docked in the deep-water port of Baidaowei Jinsha Island.

Wang Shouzhe and his party walked out of the [Junyao] and smelled the strong sea breeze.It is said that this [Junyao] maritime merchant ship is really stable in the sea, safe and secure, and it arrived at Baidaowei without any danger.

At this time, Chen Fanghua, a member of the Chen clan, greeted him and said respectfully, "Young Master Wang, according to the instructions of the young clan leader before leaving, I will arrange accommodation and guide for your group."

Wang Shouzhe smiled, guessing that his future brother-in-law was afraid that he would be in danger of rushing around on the island, so he specially arranged for his clan to arrange his accommodation and itinerary.

"In this way, there will be Brother Lao Chen." Wang Shouzhe was not familiar with the place in Jinsha Island, so it would be best if someone arranged it.Moreover, Chen Fangjie's future brother-in-law's wishes still have to be accepted.

Chen Fanghua knew that "Master Wang" had daughters, so he specially arranged a carriage to come over, and the ancestors of Longyan, the fourth aunt and the eldest girl all got on the carriage.Wang Shouzhe, Wang Zhong and Wang Yong, two generals, were temporarily assigned three horses.

Afterwards, Chen Fanghua took a family general and led Wang Shouzhe and his party to the inner city of Jinsha Island.

While walking, Chen Fanghua chatted with Wang Shouzhe about the local customs of Jinsha Island. For example, Jinsha Island is the largest island in the Baidaowei, but because there are many rocks and other impurities in the land, there are very few good fields that can be developed.

"So, half of our cargo is grain crops, various meat-eating poultry, and some household utensils. These common items are quite profitable in Baidaowei." Chen Fanghua did not shy away from these well-known Business knowledge, obviously also wants to get closer to Wang Shouzhe.

"The big dry law stipulates that food should not be hyped?" Wang Shouzhe asked slightly strangely.

"Master Wang, the Dagan Law is not very binding on Baidaowei." Chen Fanghua said with a smile, "What's more, we are not hyping food, but exchanging things for things. Although Baidaowei produces less food, it is rich in various Planting sea treasures and oyster ash can still make some gross profit if they are transported to the inland."

Wang Shouzhe also knows that in this era, shipping must be very profitable, but it is also very difficult and risky.Building a marine merchant ship is expensive and requires deep expertise.

In addition, the training of sailors and professional sailors is also very difficult.Even a little careless, if a ship is wrecked, it will be a loss of blood.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for ordinary families to cross the border into the maritime business field.It is no wonder that the Chen Clan in Donggang has become stronger and stronger in just a hundred years.
