Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Wang Weichuang could see why Ma Hu was worried. This was human nature.

"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Ma. Since you have joined our Qidian Chamber of Commerce, we will protect you. If there is a strong person who wants to rob you or has evil intentions against you,

I, the Qunding Chamber of Commerce, will definitely help you solve these problems. Don't forget, we have fourteen top families in the Tang Dynasty, and there are five princes here.

Who in the Tang Dynasty has the courage? Wang Weiqi said confidently.

Sloppy looked at Wang Weidi and thought for a moment before finally making up his mind:

"Okay, since President Wang has promised, Ma will not hide it from you. I used to be a fisherman in Fuzhou. I went to Goguryeo and Silla several times with the caravan and made a little money.

Later, we discussed with several fellow villagers that it would be better to do it ourselves than to do it for others, so we all pooled some money together and bought a small boat.

Specialized in traveling by sea to and from Silla, Baekje and other places. Over the past few years, we bought a big boat and earned some hard-earned money, but I don’t know if Shopkeeper Wang has heard of it in recent years.

A group of pirates appeared in the East China Sea. They robbed passing merchants and even captured some people. Their lives and deaths were uncertain.

It was even more difficult for small businessmen like us, who did not dare to go to sea. Later, I heard someone said that we could go to the Western Regions by sea. The speed was quite fast, but it was a bit dangerous.

However, the profits are huge. Wealth can be found in risks. For those of us who go to sea all year round, as long as we can make money, it doesn't matter how big the risk is.

We followed other maritime merchants all the way to the Western Regions.

Sigh~~~" At this point, Careless Chang An Yi died, and then continued.

"We only went there once and encountered a great disaster. At that time, the sea god was angry, the wind and clouds changed, the sky and the earth were inseparable, there were violent storms, lightning and thunder.

This is Poseidon's warning to us. We lost 30% of the crew. If the rain hadn't cleared up later, we would have been buried in the belly of the fish.

At that time, we found out that we were swept away and saw the merchant's ship in front of us.

It's just that what we see is a broken ship, and the people on board have been captured by the sea god.

We drifted for three days and came across an island. This should be a sign of good luck if you survive a catastrophe. The island was full of spices.

This may be a reward from God to celebrate our survival. "

Speaking of this careless face, there is still lingering fear on his face, and he is still afraid of the shipwreck.

Wang Weidi's eyes lit up. An island was full of spices, and it was worth more than tens of millions.

"Come here, prepare a banquet. I want to have a drink with Shopkeeper Ma." Wang Weidi ordered the servants outside.

"This...this...is so embarrassing."

"It doesn't matter, Wang admires heroes like Shopkeeper Ma the most, who can go to the mountains and seas and appreciate the three mountains and five mountains.

What Shopkeeper Ma said today was an eye-opener for Wang. He is not afraid of Shopkeeper Ma’s jokes. Wang has been in the Central Plains all his life.

Even in the Central Plains, Wang has not been to many places. Wang yearns very much to be able to travel around like a shopkeeper. "

Wang Weiqi looked envious.

The two chatted for a while, and then the servants brought out the food and wine.

Wang Weitu personally filled up the wine for Ma Hu, then immediately picked up the cup and said:

"Come on, Shopkeeper Ma, Wang will give you a toast."

"Don't dare to move, don't dare to move." Ma Hu was flattered. This was a member of the Wang family in Taiyuan.

The two drank it all in one gulp, and Wang Weiqi asked Ma Hu to tell him stories about the sea.

The two exchanged glasses. After a while, Ma Hu began to feel a little drunk, his face turned red, and his words began to lose logic.

"Shopkeeper Wang, I really appreciate your hospitality today. I didn't expect that Shopkeeper Wang is a person with the fifth surname. It's so strange that I look up to Ma.

To tell you the truth, yesterday and today, people from several big families found Ma, including many with the fifth surname.

They didn't think highly of Ma at all, they were arrogant, rude, and condescending.

They said they also wanted to buy Ma's spices, but the price they gave was too low. That was paid for with the lives of the brothers.

We agreed to share it with everyone. Although it seemed like a lot, the amount allocated to Ma was only tens of thousands of guan. "

Sloppy drunk a little too much, and his voice started to get louder.

After Wang Weidi saw Ma Hu's look, he smiled secretly, poured another glass of wine for Ma Hu, and asked casually.

"Shopkeeper Ma, Wang is a little curious as to where exactly you encountered the disaster.

Wang has never been to the sea, so he has never seen disasters at sea. "

After speaking, Wang Weiqi quietly observed Ma Hu. Ma Hu could hardly open his eyes at this time and half-squinted his eyes.

"Uh~~!~Huh~~~" Ma Hu burped.

"If an outsider asked this, Ma would definitely say that he did not remember it. However, President Wang led Ma to be so frank, so Ma could not be ignorant of good and evil.

From the southernmost edge of Datang, just a few days' journey west along the coastline, there is a long and narrow island. After passing the big island, you can see a small island three days south.

There are all kinds of spices on the island, and there are many flowers and trees that don't exist in the Tang Dynasty, but we are just rough people and don't know them. "

Drunk and careless, he leaned on his chair and said to Wang Weitu.

Wang Weiqi remembered it secretly, and then began to ask some details, but Sloppy was drunk and could only give a general outline.

However, he said that he had heard of a long island along the coast to the west, forming a wide sea channel with the interior.

All merchant ships going to the Western Regions must pass through there.

"Um... Shopkeeper Wang, Ma is too drunk and is a little drunk. Ma is going back.

We were talking about spices tomorrow, and Ma took his leave. "

As he said this, he stood up and started to walk out.

"Bang~~" the chair was hit by Sloppy Horse, "哐~~~" Sloppy Horse hit the door frame.

"Shopkeeper Ma, are you okay? Come, send a carriage to take Shopkeeper Ma back." Wang Weidi immediately ordered someone to take Ma Hu back to the restaurant when he saw this situation.

Wang Weiqi quickly wrote down the route mentioned by Ma Hu on a piece of paper, then picked up the paper and hurried back to the Wang family mansion.

Firstly, he wanted to report this important discovery, and secondly, he heard from Mahu that there were also other aristocratic families in contact with Mahu, and he couldn't lose this business.

Ma Hu was already unconscious on the carriage. The servant who sent him back called two waiters from the restaurant.

He forcibly carried Mahu to his room and put him on the couch. Mahu still didn't wake up. The servant and the waiter left after seeing that nothing was wrong.

After a while, the door to the room next to Careless opened, and an elegant scholar came out, wearing a plain robe and a turban on his head.

He looked around and saw no one was around, so he came to the careless room, opened the door and walked in quietly, then closed the door again.

After taking a look at Ma Hu on the couch, he slowed down and leaned towards Ma Hu silently. His feet landed on the ground without making any sound.

When he came to Ma Hu, he slowly leaned down, and slowly stretched out one hand towards Ma Hu.

At this moment, Ma Hu suddenly opened his eyes.
