"Master, I'll help you call the marshals to come up. Chatting with them is much more pleasant than chatting with Weng Ya." Before Hong Tao could figure out how to punish this bold Weng Ya, Matini's fat face came over and began to mix with him.

"...Old Wen, do you think so too?" Hong Tao didn't expect that he was actually alone on this issue. He was unwilling to give up. Suddenly he remembered that there was another Wen Nan, who would definitely support him.

"Maybe they know how to sail too. Didn't the sir say that technology is always improving, and it's just a coincidence that they follow us." Wen Nan's answer made Hong Tao almost vomit blood. This is terrible! Wen Nan usually talks about letting himself kill less people every day, but why did he lose sight of him when he really killed people?

"... Let the kitchen bring some wine, and the talks are held. All the merchants who are willing to come are called!" Hong Tao no longer insisted on his opinion. Since they all disagree with their opinions, why should he force himself to be this bad guy? There are enough poops on his head, and it doesn't matter if there is more. Anyway, the world belongs to them. Of course, they have the right to choose. If you have the skill to grind your teeth, it's better to listen to the talks of the merchants. Hong Tao likes to chat with those people. It's not that they can say anything good, but that they can talk with them, so that they can understand the Southern Song Dynasty and the entire era. It's not enough to just rely on their own eyes to see it. There are too many things and you can't finish it in your life.

As the acceleration command reached each ship through the signal flag, the sail drivers began to work hard. They climbed up each horizontal line like monkeys, opened the rolled canvas, and then used a sail rope to ensure that each sail was in the correct direction and the tightness was appropriate. With the assistance of these sails, the fleet began to speed up as a whole, gradually rising from the four or five knots offshore to the full speed of seven knots. With the strong north wind, they split every wave blocking the bow of the ship and headed to the south.

"Shou, they ran too fast, we couldn't catch up. And they didn't paddle, they really saw a ghost!" The four Southern Song ships following behind were all from the Wu family in Guangzhou, and the leader was Wu Zuotou.

Since he found out that the fleet of Straits Company was going to Dashi, he was restless. If this fleet really came back safely from Dashi Country, the ranking of maritime merchants in Guangzhou City should be re-arranged. Once he succeeded by chance, he was afraid of a mature route and a group of skilled boatmen. If he was added with a courageous sect, then this route was a money tree, and he could shake it as much as he wanted.

If you have money, who can still form a guild with you? Who will listen to your greetings? Without everyone's support, how can you control the annual price of seafood? If you cannot control the price of seafood, isn't it no different from an ordinary small maritime merchant? In less than two or three years, you will be destroyed in Guangzhou, a big commercial city. In addition to becoming a material for others to educate their younger generations, your value is gone.

So he planned to take a risk. He relied on the first-class ship workers who were under his control to snatch a route from the other party. This time he took almost most of the first-year sailors in the family, and did not load them much. He just wanted to rely on the light and fast ships to forcefully follow the fleet of the Strait Company to find out the new route. In the future, his fleet will also get a share of the pie on this route. If he could bring other sea merchants to sell goods together, he would still be a big deal in Guangzhou City!

This is very shameless and can easily cause a fight, but for the benefit of the family, Wu Zuotou no longer intends to be shameless. As for the fight, he is also prepared. As for the maritime businessman, a small maritime businessman is a pirate, and a big maritime businessman is a pirate. We are not scared, just fight. This strait company can make the Pu family members black, and may not necessarily make it bad. No matter how rich the Pu family is, it is also an outsider. The Wu family has been in Guangzhou for hundreds of years and wants people. Are you afraid of a strait company with unknown origin? Wealth and honor are sought in danger. For ordinary businessmen, this sentence is just an inspirational joke, but for the maritime businessman, it is a real strait company.

It was indeed no problem at the beginning. Since the Pearl River Estuary, both sides have maintained a distance that cannot be separated or close. Wu Zuotou was even less worried about this Strait Company. He was honest and said that their ship was so powerful that they traveled thousands of miles a day. Now it seems, but this is the way the sail looks a little strange. In terms of practicality and reliability, it has to be said that it is a five-mast broad ship like himself, which is the bottom of the Wu family.

But before Wu Zuotou's pride was finished, the sailboat in front began to rise like a flower. On one side after another, Wu Zuotou had never seen it before, and he had never even thought that so many sails could be hung on a boat, which was a little dizzy. Then the matter was easy to guess. The other party's fleet was like a light cloud, running so casually, and his fleet was like carrying a huge rock on his back. No matter how hard the boatmen worked, the distance between the two fleets was still getting farther and farther. Until the shadow of the sail completely disappeared in the horizon, Wu Zuotou was still staring at the sea area where there should be a fleet.

"Go back..." Wu Zuo's head seemed to have grown ten years older, and his originally straight waist was a little collapsed.

"Dad, why don't we go to find the Pu family! I don't believe that they won't come back. We can't catch up. Can't we block them? As long as the Pu family is willing to share the route to Dashiguo with our family, with our strength and the Pu family, their ships will be twice as many as possible, and they will not be able to come back!" When he heard that Wu Zuotou was about to return, a short man in his thirties stood behind him stepped forward, held Wu Zuotou, and muttered in his ears.

"...Isn't it okay, there are merchants from the Song Dynasty on the boat. Their ship is fast. Once they are escaped, you, my father and son will be sued. This is a serious crime!" Wu Zuotou made his son stunned, but after thinking about it for a while, he shook his head again.

"The Pu family's boat is not slow either. At that time, we will all wear Pu family's clothes. Who can tell that it was our father and son who did it? Otherwise, when they come back and go to sea next time, it will be not these ships. It is even more difficult to deal with them." Wu Zuotou's son, despite his shortness, is very heart-wrenching and cruel.

"The Pu family in Guangzhou is not enough. If you want to contact the Pu family in Quanzhou, you have to be together. You don't understand very well. The Pu family and the Pu family are not the same. This matter must be discussed for a long time. Our family has a lot of relationships in Sanfoqi. If you really want to stop them, you must work together to make sure!... Go back first to explore the Pu family's to talk about it. Those people are not easy to meet. But when you take my name to invite them to the banquet, don't talk about this matter, just say it's for this year's goods market." Wu Zuotou was moved by his son. This method is the cleanest and neat, and can be done once and for all, but he is a calm person and wants to plan everything clearly.

Hong Tao didn't know that there was a evil wolf following him. If he knew, he would definitely slow down. At this time, he was holding a tea party with a large group of Southern Song peddlers in the large captain's room, chatting while eating and drinking, and there were all topics. From the official system of the Southern Song Dynasty to trivial matters in life, as long as he didn't know, he would listen patiently. One topic was chatting with people, which was very lively.

"Hahaha, Lao Huang, there is a saying in our hometown that divorce means bankruptcy! Bankruptcy means losing all wealth, and you are the same! Hahahaha... let you make random plans!" Suddenly, Hong Tao laughed loudly, laughing so hard that he leaned back and forth, and the wine in his hand was spread all over his legs, and he still laughed wildly.
