Chapter 75: Fleet!

In early winter, the ocean returns to the Central Plains has the largest fleet. Fleets that have always sailed will try to rush back during this period, especially the West Sea Channel.

The West Sea Channel was opened from the previous dynasty, and the route was 56 countries, and the farthest to Vilaqiu. If it was smooth, it was just one year. Caravans often organized spring tides to set off and return in early winter.

At this time, there were countless merchant ships loaded with cargo, but they were not worth mentioning in the vast sea. At this time, a fleet of about twenty cargo ships was returning in the morning glow.

The merchants in different clothes were chatting on the deck at this time watching the sunrise and chatting. The return date was approaching, and a hard work year was about to usher in a harvest. Many merchants seemed a little excited, and they were in groups of three or five, as if they had endless topics to talk about.

"Uncle Han, Uncle Han!"

Just as the entire deck was invading the beauty, a figure jumped directly from the deck of another ship next to it, and the thud footsteps and the anxious shouts made everyone nervous.

Many experienced businessmen know that the closer they get to the road home, the more dangerous they are. When they go to sea, they are most afraid of natural disasters, and when they return home, they are most afraid of man-made disasters!

"What's wrong?" The tall middle-aged man who was drawing the route on the mast jumped down a few quick steps to the front of the deck, frowned and looked at the panicked man.

The person who reported the news was thin and probably only in his 14 or 15 years old. However, this is very common in the West Sea. The legendary story of getting rich overnight at sea is the most attractive thing about restless young people...

"Uncle Han, there is... a boat is coming!" The thin young man said gasping.

"What are you panic?" Han Ling gave the other party a blank look, then looked at the nervous people on the deck, and smiled: "Don't be nervous, everyone should be the merchant ship that wants to be with him..."

Everyone felt relieved when they heard this. Generally, if the return merchant ships meet their peers, they will basically choose to be in a group. After all, the larger the fleet and more guards, the more complete the lineup, and their team will be in a temporary group.

In the beginning, Han Wu came from Via Luoqiu, with only three merchant ships. Many smaller caravans tried to lean over and form a group. Han Wu accepted them one by one. Now it is a large fleet, and pirates usually dare not make any decisions.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little relaxed, Han Wu chatted casually for a few more words, then grabbed the boy who had just reported the conversation and said viciously: "How can you say whisper, take me over and take a look!"

The little guy was so fiercely that his neck shrank because of Han Wu's vicious glare. He didn't dare to say anything. He quickly nodded and led the way. The two jumped from the deck to another ship first. After leaving the crowded vision, Han Wu immediately put on the shoulder of the boy who reported the news and whispered: "Xiao Baoer, what's the matter?"

The child who reported the news was his distant nephew, named Han Xiaobao. Although he was young, he had accompanied him to sea for two or three times. He was already a veteran. If he had just gotten into the business, he would not have lost his composure at all.

"Uncle, it's not like a merchant ship!" Han Xiaobao said carefully: "That ship is so fast, it's more like a pirate ship!"

Han Wu's pupils shrank. The size of his fleet was not something ordinary pirates dared to attack. Is it because he was so lucky to encounter those black forces?

"How many ships? How big?"

"Two ships, the ships are not big!" Han Xiaobao shook his head.

"Two ships?" Han Wu was stunned. At the size of his own fleet, the experienced pirates knew that no one could take it, right? What can two small boats do when they come?

"Have Lao Wang and the others gone?"

"It's over, I'm waiting for you..."

Han Wu nodded and took Han Xiaobao to the big ship that was promising. It was his own ship. The ship was piled with jade crafts he purchased from Piluoqiu. Piluoqiu produced a lot of jade, with extremely high quality, and the handicrafts made were handicrafts. Nowadays, aristocratic women in the Jin Dynasty were popular in jade jewelry. A set of high-quality imperial green jewelry can be sold for tens of taels of silver. It is the most profitable business in the West Sea today!

But the risks are also very high. Viagra is the farthest in the fifty-six countries, and the most expensive purchase price. The merchants who have no courage do not consider the business there at all. It is the first time that he has been doing maritime trade for many years to buy goods. He is very lucky. He bought a lot of high-quality raw stones, bought ten kilograms of top-quality red jade, and hired the best local craftsman to create dozens of sets of jewelry. If he can successfully sell it to the capital this time, the profit of at least 300,000 taels is his biggest business now.

Now that he was about to get home, Han Wu didn't want any twists and turns. He was praying in his heart, and walked towards the deck with a calm look on his face.

"Master Han!" The leader of the deck was a bald man named Feng Wei, who was his own guard and his old servant who had been with him for more than 20 years.

"What's the situation?" Han Wu looked in the distance and saw two silver-painted clutches. Han Wu had rich experience in sailing and could tell at a glance that it was a warship that was good at jumping gangs, and his heart sank!

"I don't know..." Feng Wei shook his head and said with a serious expression: "I have been ten meters away and never approached... But the ship is very fast, faster than the pirate ship I have ever seen!"

Han Wu frowned, jumped directly to the front of the deck, and shouted to the opposite side: "I don't know where the brothers are? Han Wu is here, maybe you know you first. If you are a friend who is familiar with you, come up and have a drink. If you don't know each other, you can make friends. There will be a generous gift and you will never let your brothers go in vain!"

Han Wu's voice was full of energy, with his unique skills, and his deep internal strength made the sound echo a hundred meters away, still deafening...

"What kind of gift is Mr. Han going to give?" In less than half a breath, an answer came from the opposite side. His voice was heavy and he gathered but never dispersed. It was obvious that he was a practitioner who had practiced internal martial arts, which immediately made many people on the bow of the boat nervous.

A pirate who has practiced martial arts? Is it Wang Bonian's person?

Han Wu's expression was stunned, because the other party's voice sounded a little familiar. After a familiar figure appeared on the other party's deck the next second, Han Wu immediately smiled and said, "I'm telling who it is? It turns out to be Mr. Zhang!!"

"Familiarity?" The new guard suddenly felt a little relieved.

"It's Zhang Yuanshan and Mr. Zhang!" The bald man also grinned. Although he was still vigilant, he was obviously much more relaxed than before.

Some more experienced guards felt relieved when they heard this name. Zhang Yuanshan had a good reputation. Although he was a pirate from Fuchuan, he never robbed merchant ships. He usually collected protection fees for fishing boats, and occasionally acted as guards of caravans like them.

In fact, many people here are like Zhang Yuanshan. When there is no caravan hiring them, they rely on collecting protection fees for sea fishing boats to make a living...

"Didn't you hear that Mr. Zhang followed the Huang clan? What's the situation?" Han Wu pointed to the two ships and asked with a smile.

"Don't mention it!" Zhang Yuanshan waved his hand with an unlucky look on his face: "This time I took some business and transported these two ships of freight back. Can Master Han take it in?"

"Oh? There's still something?" Han Wu smiled: "Is it convenient to see?"

"What's inconvenient?" Zhang Yuanshan waved his hand, and the ship he was in began to speed up. Han Wu secretly made a warning gesture to his subordinates, and looked at the other party with a smile on his face.

Where did Zhang Yuanshan get the ship? This speed is probably much faster than the regular warships in Qingyang City!

Han Wu has a very skilled eye and can see the value of the Clippers at a glance. He guessed in his heart that Zhang Yuanshan might have defected to some major force...

"Please, Mr. Han..." After the ship moved closer, Zhang Yuanshan grinned and invited.

People dared to get close to each other's boat, so Han Wu was naturally not stingy. He only took two people and jumped onto the other's boat. He was very confident in his skills. Even if Zhang Yuanshan was ambushed, he was sure to hold on until his brothers rescued him.

After getting on board, Han Wu looked around. The structure was indeed a warship, and he didn't know many of the equipment used to control the ships themselves. It should not be a ship built in Bingzhou, and the cabin capacity should be very small. What cargo was Zhang Yuanshan transported?

Zhang Yuanshan took the other party all the way to the cabin. The light in the cabin was bright and it didn't look like an ambush. Han Wu did not hesitate and followed the other party in.

"Oh, furry!" Seeing the skins piled up like hills in the cabin, Han Wu felt relieved. It seemed that he was really helping people transport goods. Then he stepped forward and touched them, and his eyes lit up: "What a furry!"

Most of these furs are drawn in the whole sheet, with very good integrity, and most of them are large animal skins. If you pull them to the north, you may be able to sell them at a good price!

"Brother, are you going to Qingyang to sell?" Han Wu asked, touching the fur with love.

"Go to Qingyang first..." Zhang Yuanshan smiled and said, "There are more sales there, and you can't sell it until you can go north and take a look..."

"Then give me some selling points..." Han Wu was a little moved. These skins are of high quality, so you can buy some of them yourself as gifts when you go to the capital to honor those adults. There is an earl in his way who likes this kind of large wild animal skin to make carpets at home.

"I'm worried about sales..." Zhang Yuanshan grinned and said, "Of course I'm welcome to buy it, why don't you buy it all?"

"Master Zhang is joking. I can't eat so much... Hey? Is this?" Han Wu suddenly noticed a box in the corner, filled with gems of various colors. His heart moved and he immediately came over.

The cabin is bright, but even so, the gems flashing light is quite dazzling. Han Wu leaned closer and took a deep breath: "Master Zhang, these are..."

"Oh, how about some gems that our young master brought from the nobles from the Qing Dynasty? Is it good quality?"

"This is not just good..." Han Wu narrowed his eyes. His family mainly engaged in jewelry business and naturally had a high ability to judge these natural jewelry that can be decorated. These gems are even in color and delicate in texture, especially those rubies, with pure color, bright color, high transparency, and almost no impurities. The main decorative gems used as 日本語 are absolutely popular.

"Master Zhang... Do you sell these gems?"

"This... is not something I can decide..." Zhang Yuanshan shook his head: "You have to ask the young master!"

"Young Master?" Han Wu put away his stunning eyes and looked at Zhang Yuanshan: "His Mr. Zhang is following a newcomer now? Can you recommend it?" When he talked about the Huang family's business, the other party looked unlucky, and it seemed that he had left the Huang family, and the Huang family did not have the ability to get such a good warship...

"Of course there is no problem!" Zhang Yuanshan patted his chest: "After all, you have to meet when you enter your fleet, haha, then, I'll ask the young master to go to your ship to discuss at that time?"

"Hahaha, okay!" Han Wu agreed with a smile. If the other party asked him to go to their other boat and talked about him, he might be alert, but if he went to his own boat to talk about him, it was obvious that the other party was sincere.

"Then I'll go back now and let my subordinates prepare the drinks. Mr. Zhang called all the brothers and asked someone to have a good treat!"

"Then I'll thank Mr. Han!"
