After looking around, he found that this large empty courtyard was indeed a good place to talk. Guo Sheng stretched out his arms easily and motioned to some small bamboo chairs in the corridor, "Let's just sit here and talk. Your main hall is just like a yamen."

It’s almost like a courtroom.”

"There are many people here, and the space is too small to stand. I usually like to sit here and talk. Brother, please sit, and this gentleman, please sit." Hu Panshi chuckled, and personally dragged three chairs over, with their backs facing each other.

The main hall is spacious, and it is very comfortable to sit under the corridor, which is more than twice as wide as the ordinary corridor. The sun is shining warmly.

"Brother, why are you here? I haven't seen you for many years. I miss you so much that I can only dream about you!" Hu Panshi looked at Guo Sheng, his face blossomed with a smile, and he couldn't bear to look away.

Guo Sheng's hair stood up at the sight of him, "Look at you, you are such a big person! Stop laughing, I have something to do with you, something big."

"What's the matter? Brother, just say it!" Hu Panshi immediately sat upright.

Xu Huan was very surprised to see it.

"How many people do you have on hand now? How many people have similar skills to you? How much territory do you occupy in this canal?" Guo Sheng looked at Hu Panshi and asked.

Xu Huan also subconsciously straightened his back, something big was coming.

"There are four to five hundred people, not including the work bearers. As you know, brother, the work bearers on the dock are all our people. If something happens, they don't dare not to come. No one with my ability can

, there are twenty or thirty people who are not much worse than me, and there are fifty or sixty people who are a little bit worse. This river, and the boundaries of the two Zhejiang roads are all our territory. In the past few years, you and

My uncle was on Liangzhe Road, so I took advantage of the opportunity and occupied them all. You went to Gaoyou, and I originally wanted to squeeze in more to Gaoyou, but there is a Gaoyou army over there, hey."

Hu Panshi laughed a few times. He couldn't afford to offend Gao Youjun, so he quickly retreated as soon as he touched him.

Xu Huan glared at Hu Panshi and quickly blinked away the surprise. This rough guy named after Panshi was so shrewd!

"That's almost it." Guo Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, "How are these twenty or thirty people, and the fifty or sixty of them, doing in the water? Have any of them been to the sea?"

"Look at what my brother is asking. We are in the river business. Let's talk about water kung fu first. There is nothing to say about water kung fu. We have all been to the sea. My brother told me from the beginning that I can't just swim in the river. At most, I can't do it.

A river shrimp must be able to go to the sea, and only if you can go to the sea can you become a big deal. As long as I like them, I will carry them and throw them to the seaside to flop around for half a year."

Hu Panshi looked proud. Guo Sheng raised his hand and patted him, "You have a lot of potential. I have a big deal. I have to take away all the hundreds of people in your hands. Maybe they will all be sacrificed."

"Don't be afraid. The worst we can do is start all over again. It won't be once or twice. When will we leave? I'll ask someone to count the money. How much money a family has, and send it to each family first, in which boat..." Hu Panshi stood up with a cry.

, we must make arrangements immediately.

"Sit down first. This is not an emergency. How can I teach you? The more important the matter, the more important it is to make a decision before taking action." Guo Sheng motioned for Hu Panshi to sit down.

Xu Huan looked at Guo Sheng with a solemn expression. He wanted to use a hundred experts to create a rebellion in a small county. What kind of big deal is this?

"You sent me a message the year before last, saying that you wanted to start a business in the sea. How was it going?" Guo Sheng then asked Hu Panshi, who had a grimace on his face, "Not so good. The business in the sea is not good. Until now,

I couldn't even find a decent ship boss. All the maritime business is in Mingzhou. The Jiang family and the Zhao family don't nod for Mingzhou's business. The newcomers can't get in. There are only two ships. Now let them practice sea business.

Use your time."

"What about the pirate business? Have you never tried it?" Guo Sheng looked at Hu Panshi and asked.

"Why haven't you tried it? I have tried it, but there are too few people to take care of it. Our section of Liangzhe Road has the best business in this river. It is not easy to watch it. We only have a hundred and ten people in total, so we can only

Looking at it, the business on the sea is not much more profitable than the business on the river, so I haven’t extended my hand for the time being. Brother, you said that we must proceed steadily step by step."

Xu Huan looked at Hu Panshi with admiration in his eyes. The boss of the Liangzhe Road Canal was a smart man.

"Yes." Guo Sheng looked a little solemn and gestured to Hu Panshi to pour him a cup of tea. He sipped it slowly, looked up at Hu Panshi and said: "This trip, I'm afraid all of your hundred or ten people will have to go in."

, this canal..."

"Don't be afraid, we'll have to start all over again." Hu Panshi waved his hand nonchalantly.

"That's good." Guo Sheng stared at Hu Panshi and smiled from the bottom of his eyes, "Don't worry, if you start over from scratch... you will definitely be better than you are now, much better. Okay, now you can help me make a few things

First thing, I asked people to inquire about the third-grade and above officials who will leave the capital and take the waterway to the south to take up their posts in the next year. When did they set off? Where are they now? How many people they brought, how many boats they took, and whether their family members were accompanying them. The sooner

The better, the finer the better.”

"Okay!" Hu Panshi listened attentively.

"Second, let your two sea-going ships be carefully inspected. Repair what needs to be repaired and mend what needs to be repaired. I want to use them."

"Yes." Hu Panshi answered very readily.

"Third, you and your hundred and ten people are ready to set off at any time, but you are not allowed to leak any news. You know this." Guo Sheng looked stern.

"Brother, don't worry, I understand very well." Hu Panshi responded readily.

"At noon, call everyone over here, let's make it lively." Guo Sheng smiled and ordered Hu Panshi.

Hu Panshi suddenly smiled and said, "Okay! Brother, please sit down for a while and I will make arrangements! Sir, please talk to my brother and I will be here in a moment, just a moment!" Hu Panshi jumped up and took a few steps back.

, walked and ran out with brisk steps.

"This is... your biological brother?" Seeing Hu Panshi go out, Xu Huanyi's doubts burst out.

"It's a long story." Guo Sheng stood up, found the tea room, and picked up the teapot, tea leaves, and cups. Xu Huan brought Zhang's table over. Guo Sheng made tea, and he and Xu Huan each had a cup, and began to talk about the past.

"That's when I escaped from Taiping Village. I ran for a day and a night. I was so dizzy that I plunged into the camp of a group of pirates. The leader of that group of pirates took a fancy to me and said that I looked like him.

Xiang, the sign of great fortune and great wealth, recognized me as his son.

I said that I was a local in Taizhou and knew the road well, so I led them to a place of death. On the way, I tried my best to disturb the officers and soldiers. A group of thirty or forty people were surrounded by the officers and soldiers and trapped inside.

to the place of execution."

Xu Huan leaned his upper body slightly and listened with great concentration.

"That group of officers and soldiers were very smart. They knew it was a dead end and did not attack. They just waited to starve them to death. On the third day of starvation, the group of pirates decided to kill and eat the four or five children they had brought in along the way.
