Chapter 16 Chikin
The highest leader of the Longjiang Association is called the Big Head, and there are many leaders under him, responsible for various specific affairs. This time, the leader in charge of this fleet was Fang, who was about forty years old. He was a little whiter than Boss Lu and others, and had a square and kind face. He was wearing silk clothes that merchants often wore. If he hadn't had the faint coldness on his body and the qi of the ice-like nature of this person, Xiao Tianlei would have thought he was an ordinary businessman.
"Young hero, what kind of sect does the master come from?" Chief Fang asked politely. This is also a routine. In the world, you must first understand the other party's origin and background.
"No, I've practiced it myself." Xiao Tianlei was honest, but I guess the other party would not believe it. Xiao Tianlei ate the pastries and tea prepared by the other party without hesitation.
"Uh..." Leader Fang naturally didn't believe that he could practice that kind of swordsmanship? He just thought that Xiao Tianlei was unwilling to say it, and did not ask questions. He just saw that he was ruthless and guessed that it was not a serious trick, so he asked again: "Young hero, go to Yazhou to do business?"
"Um."
"I don't know what business it is? I have anything to help."
"Just go and have a look, let's talk about it at that time. But luck is pretty good. I'll make a ship so quickly, so it's a good time to open it."
Leader Fang was really speechless. Could it be that he said, "I wish the young hero a prosperous business?" Isn't that encouraging Xiao Tianlei to do business like pirates? But the young man in front of him regarded robbery as a business, and it was indeed not a decent person. Leader Fang looked at Xiao Tianlei, seeing that he was young and handsome, which made people like him, but his face was still a little childish, thinking about whether he should save the boy in front of him?
"By the way, Chief Fang, do you know where Hai City is?" Xiao Tianlei suddenly asked.
At Lingzhou Wharf, Xiao Tianlei asked that when merchant ships enter the port to conduct business, they must go through some procedures and collect some taxes. It is not to collect money, but to withdraw physical goods. Now the court has added tributes and other items. The tax collectors will also ask for benefits. Some background forces are not bad, but have no background forces, so they are waiting to go bankrupt. However, in addition to the regular port, there are also some smuggling ports - Haishi. It is said that they are some markets located on the island, gathering some smuggling merchants to sell some prohibited items, and pirates will also sell stolen goods in the sea.
The guild will not handle such a business, at least it will not be able to do it on the surface, without background or identity, if you ask directly, you will be disappointed.
Originally, Xiao Tianlei was still worried about finding a way to Haishi. Now that he has the chance, he has to ask clearly.
"If you want to go to Haishi... I have to ask Yinghai Gang, they should know it."
"oh?"
Seeing that Xiao Tianlei was puzzled, the leader Fang said in his heart that he had just entered the world and didn't know anything, so he patiently shared the science with Xiao Tianlei.
Only then did Xiao Tianlei realize that the Yinghai Gang occupied many islands in Yinghai and specializes in weapons business. Not to mention the general weapons, the Yinghai Gang mainly has several craftsmen, who have secret recipes for smelting strange gold, and can create some top-quality weapons. A top-quality weapon can double the combat power of the warriors. Which warrior doesn't want a good weapon? The Yinghai Gang makes a lot of profits because of this and has a good relationship with many gangs.
Today, the pirates on Hailong Island pursued the sea ships of Yinghai Gang, which was the idea of Hailong Island fighting the Yinghai Gang. The pirates on Hailong Island wanted to capture the wife and children of the leader of the Yinghai Gang, and threatened the leader of the Yinghai Gang.
Xiao Tianlei only listened to it as a story. Those who had nothing to do with him, but they just met him by chance and had no intention of repaying kindness. It was a surprise that he could get news about Haishi from the Yinghai Gang, which saved him a lot of troubles.
"Xiao Shaoxia, those banned transactions are quick to make money, but the risks are also high. If you are a little bit unsuccessful, you will lose both people and money. I see that you are young, so don't go any wrong path. If you don't dislike it, you can settle down in my Longjiang Association. With the martial arts of the youngxia, you dare not say anything else, and a guest official is absolutely fine." Leader Fang persuaded and invited Xiao Tianlei to join the Longjiang Association.
Guest officials, some gangs and forces are a model for recruiting talents. Just like some powerful people recruiting disciples, warriors like Xiao Tianlei become guests, they are actually senior thugs. They are usually leisurely and can earn a good income, but they have to work hard at critical moments.
As long as he practices good martial arts and is willing to work hard, the money beauty will come, but he will just work hard. The most likely thing is to lose his life. A person has only one life, how many fights can he withstand? Even if Xiao Tianlei drives the hero template, he will not fight hard until he is deadly.
Besides, Xiao Tianlei will never work for others if he can be a boss by himself. Even if the process is more difficult, Xiao Tianlei feels comfortable. Therefore, without thinking too much, he rejected Leader Fang's proposal and shook his head and said, "I have a good intention. I prefer to do business by myself."
Leader Fang felt a little regretful, but he didn't force it. He just said, "If the young hero figured it out in the future, he could come to my Longjiang Club at any time. With this token, my brothers from the Longjiang Club can help me." As he said that, he gave Xiao Tianlei a silver medal, but Xiao Tianlei did not refuse. He wanted to spend time on the water in the future. Maybe if it would be useful one day.
Xiao Tianlei planned to visit Mrs. Qiu and ask about Haishi. Before Xiao Tianlei came to the door, Mrs. Qiu came to thank him in person, and the little fish came to ask for candy. Xiao Tianlei took the opportunity to tell the story of going to Haishi. Mrs. Qiu said that she could take them there. However, Haishi was not available every day, only at a specific time per month, and the location was not fixed. First, she had to stop at Ninghai, the port city of Yazhou.
When the fleet arrived in Ninghai, the fleet expanded almost twice, and some ships of the Yinghai Gang were added to the fleet. It was Li Haichao, the leader of the Yinghai Gang, who came to pick up his wife and children. Xiao Tianlei met Li Haichao, and the other party said something thankful. The other party asked Xiao Tianlei what his request was. Xiao Tianlei still said that he wanted to go to Haishi. So Li Haichao sent his wife and children back to Yinghai and specially asked Wu Tiexing, a leader of the Yinghai Gang, to stay. He could only wait for the time to take Xiao Tianlei and others to Haishi. It didn't take a few days. During the waiting days, Xiao Tianlei and the others were wandering around Ninghai City.
The docks in Lingzhou City are definitely small compared to the ports of Ninghai, and are not on the same level at all. The scale is only one aspect, and the other difference is that there are many overseas merchants from Ninghai who transport some overseas treasures. Therefore, in Ninghai City, you can see some overseas merchants from time to time wearing some strange clothes and speaking various languages.
Regarding the method of selling cigarettes, Xiao Tianlei's basic idea is to impersonate overseas merchants to sell cigarettes. He just needs to be careful to ensure that it is not leaked. It is not possible to learn the language, behavior and act of these overseas merchants in a short period of time, and pretend to be them. Therefore, Xiao Tianlei planned to imitate foreigners in his previous life and create a fictional overseas country.
Yazhou, where Ninghai is located, is an important place for wealth and wealth in the south of Daxia. It is prosperous in business and is also a place where the southern part of Daxia is rich in humanities. The famous Bailu Academy and Zhongding Academy are all located here. Every year, the two major academies hold literary meetings to attract literati from all over the world to attend the meeting. Young literati all want to show their talents and knowledge at the literary meeting.
On the one hand, the Yazhou literary talent is prosperous, and on the other hand, the martial arts are not bad. The Jianhu Martial Arts Association is also very famous. Any martial artist doesn’t want to show off at the Jianhu Martial Arts Association and compete for the best. The bonus of the martial arts association is second. As long as he is famous, he will always be favored by some noble people and will become famous from now on.
Xiao Tianlei was not very interested in these things, but Wu Tiexing invited them to taste some famous foods in Yazhou, such as Yazhou Sanxian, which tasted really good. As for going to brothels and brothels to have fun, I would like to thank Xie Bumin.
Xiao Tianlei wandered around the city every day, purchasing some cloth and other things. He also contacted Xiao Tianfu through a private chat system and asked what needs were for Wild Boar Ridge, which was convenient for purchasing.
After talking about the main business on this day, Xiao Tianfu suddenly became a little hesitant: "Brother, there is one thing...that..."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Tianlei thought there was something wrong with Wild Boar Ridge, so he hurriedly asked.
“That’s it…”
After listening to Xiao Tianfu's narration, Xiao Tianlei felt that the plot was so familiar. Anyway, it was probably a drama like a hero saving the beauty. Xiao Tianfu saved a girl who was throwing into the water and sent the girl home to find out that because an old man wanted to force the girl to be a concubine, the girl fell into the water so she couldn't think about it. So Xiao Tianfu asked Xiao Tianlei what to do?
Why did his brother become so chivalrous? Xiao Tianlei was a little strange at first. After thinking about it for a moment, he probably understood: "Do you like that girl?"
"Uh... Cui Lian is very good..."
"That's what I like?"
"Um!"
Xiao Tianfu likes him, of course Xiao Tianlei has to give him some ideas. In fact, it's simpler. He immediately said, "What are you talking about? Since you like it, just grab it. That old man, that's a waste!" Over the years, Xiao Tianlei has seen and heard a lot of similar things. He has long been unable to stand those rich bullies. With the martial arts of Xiao Tianfu and other brothers, it should be fine to deal with these guys.
"Okay!" After Xiao Tianlei's words, Xiao Tianfu went happily. Xiao Tianlei just told him to be careful and not show his flaws. Anyway, Lingzhou is a bit messy, and killing a few people with a face covering is not a big deal.
The next day, Xiao Tianfu heard news that the old man had been destroyed, his limbs were broken, and the old man's son was also cleaned up. Then, he simply confiscated the family and obtained a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, burned the land deeds and other things, and distributed the food to the surrounding families.
Originally, Xiao Tianfu was a little nervous, so Xiao Tianlei immediately praised it, this is called cutting off the firewood from the cauldron. Why are these local tyrants so arrogant? Apart from some force, they mainly have money and can bribe the government. Without money, no matter how hard the family struggles, they can't get around.
What Xiao Tianlei cared more was that he found that his system's gold coins had also been increased. He had not fought these days. Could it be that the gold coins that Xiao Tianlei fought were counted on his head? If that was the case, the more templates he gave the heroes, the more gold coins he got? If it was true, this was excellent news. Otherwise, he could only earn gold coins by himself. If he wanted to buy more than 100 heroes, how many battles would he have to go through? When will he wait?!
After receiving good news, Xiao Tianlei was in a happy mood. After waiting for three or four days, Wu Tiexun sent someone to inform him that he could set off for Haishi.
The location of Haishi is actually not far from Ninghai, and it only takes more than a day to sail. It is just a secret location. Haishi once a month, each time lasts for a few days.
Under the guidance of Wu Tiexun's ship, I arrived at an island and couldn't see anything from the front. However, when I walked around the island, I could see a sea city composed of sea ships. Many sea ships were arranged and connected with wooden boards.
Xiao Tianlei walked around with great enthusiasm and saw various commodities on the deck. In addition to the general commodities, they were mainly prohibited commodities, such as strange gold and some treasures and weapons, as well as some overseas wonders and some strange animals and plants. Many people came and went between ships, either stopped to watch the commodities or bargained.
Xiao Tianlei finally stopped on the deck selling Qijin. There are many kinds of Qijin here, and there are even some rare Qijin, including cold iron, black iron, red copper, purple gold, Yaojin, and fine gold... So many Qijins made Xiao Tianlei a little dazzled. After watching for a long time, he was actually experimenting with what kind of equipment these Qijin could synthesize. For this reason, he kept switching the hero templates, opening the equipment purchase page, comparing the differences, and soon made some important discoveries.
When Xiao Tianlei used the Ice Sagittarius, many equipment can be purchased on the purchase equipment page, including Storm Sword, Endless Blade, Last Whisper, Statik Electric Blade... etc. In the game, these equipment can have higher attack power and can break armor. Like Statik Electric Blade can charge and release lightning-like attack effects. Obviously, some kind of strange gold here can make the synthetic equipment have similar effects, making the equipment sharper, the transmission of the qi is smoother, the sword energy generated is more condensed, etc.
Xiao Tianlei changed to the commonly used Wuji Sword Saint, and the equipment icons lit up are basically the same. Other hero templates are not used much, and there are not many game coins. However, some early equipment can be purchased.
There is a huge treasure house in front of me. Xiao Tianlei really wants to move it back and buy all the equipment. In that case, his strength will inevitably be greatly improved. However, this is Haishi, which is in broad daylight, in full view of everyone. In addition, he cannot afford so much strange gold. Qijin is called gold. Even the most ordinary price is equivalent to gold, such as those purple gold, fine gold, and Yaojin are ten times or hundreds of times that of gold.
Xiao Tianlei had some money in his hands, and he had to exchange it for guild tickets at the guild. The money he used to buy a sea boat this time was still not much. In addition, he had to leave some money to maintain the operation and development of Wild Boar Ridge, and at most he bought a few small pieces.
So, after some bargaining, Xiao Tianlei bought a few pieces of cold iron, black iron, and red copper. After that, Xiao Tianlei visited some overseas merchants' merchant ships. Xiao Tianlei really found some good things, some plants that felt useful, and seeds. Xiao Tianlei bought some, such as some plants that looked like pepper, which made him happy than buying Qijin. He took them back to plant them and maybe he could eat some heavy-tasting dishes.
After visiting Haicheng City, Xiao Tianlei was about to return to Lingzhou directly. Before leaving, Wu Tiexun sent a box, saying that it was a gift prepared by Li Haichao, to thank Xiao Tianlei for saving Mrs. Qiu and so on.
Xiao Tianlei was not pretentious either. He accepted the box. The box was not big, but it was very heavy. When he opened it, he saw that the small box was full of strange gold, which was more expensive than a box of gold. The Yinghai Gang was indeed rich and very considerate.
Now you may be able to buy a few more pieces of equipment! Xiao Tianlei was a little looking forward to it, just waiting for time to synthesize the equipment.
This trip to Yazhou was really smooth, and I got a lot of rewards, so I could say that I returned home with a full load.
Immediately set up an anchor and return to Lingzhou. Xiao Tianlei felt a little excited. He will definitely make a big splash next time he comes to Yazhou!
