Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but murmur again, "Fortunately, I am old man, and I still have some connections, otherwise I might not be able to protect you, the little bastard. It would be better to go out in the wild. I have a promising prospect earlier, and I should retire, the old man."

The old man himself was also a high-level building in Fengyu Building at the time, but after an accidental injury, although he could barely maintain his own realm, he was no longer able to fight with his peers. He had been struggling in Fengyu Building for many years and naturally had already seen through the world and did not have any illusions that he should not have.

While I was still in the Fengyu Building, I settled everything early, abdicated and came to the branch building of Changlin County to retire. Later, I adopted an orphan. When I grew up, I was a disciple who had just spoken out to go to Fufeng County. Although I retreated bravely and gave up my rights early, I felt uncomfortable in the building before. Although I was in the building, I was not good at attacking myself, a half-waste person, but I secretly stumbling around and letting myself touch some nails that were neither yin nor yang. That was common.

In this way, there will naturally be some rumors below the building. I will naturally not take it seriously, but my apprentice is young and energetic and cannot bear it. This time I went to Fufeng County. Although I said it was for the competition in the building, the old man didn't know that his disciple had already made a ruthless heart and vowed to make some achievements in Fufeng County and get some face for him.

Although I felt that my disciple's behavior was a bit naive, the old man also stopped him. The reason was very simple. The eagle always wanted to fly. He was old and weak, and had a secret disease on his body. Maybe one day he would pass away and could no longer protect his disciple. Instead of waiting until then, he would be sad and sad again, it would be better for him to go out and explore. If he achieved something, life would be better in this storm building. As the old man thought about it, he smiled and then closed his eyes peacefully. From this small attic, there were waves of snoring sounds.

"Okay, put this on quickly. Ouch, be gentle, things can't stand falling." A middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper in Linyi, Northern Qi, was directing his friend to carry boxes of things onto the ships on the dock. Xu Yao and others on the side looked at the boats coming and going on the river with a relaxed look, talking to each other.

Fufeng County is penetrated by Nulong River. If you want to rush from Linyi, it is naturally the most convenient and fastest way to go. However, most people would rather go on the tortuous and difficult roads. They checked many land routes than to go on the water routes. The main reasons are the following three points.

One is the world's waterway. Anyone who can walk a big ship is under the control of all forces. If you want to get on a boat, you will naturally have to pay various fees. Under the exploitation of all sections of waterways, those merchants have no

How much oil and water is there? Only business like the Northern Qi official ships does not have such concerns. Most of the forces in the rivers and lakes that control the waterways along the way dare not exploit these official ships.

Secondly, although it is difficult to travel by land, at the beginning of Tian Hongyi's ascension, he vigorously cleared out all the path-slitting bandits. Although it was not completely banned, most of the land in the Northern Qi Dynasty are now covered by some thieves. The real bandits have long been dealt with by Tian Hongyi. Of course, some areas bordering Southern Chu, there are naturally some robbers who kill and robbery. However, those who dare to do business from south to south are naturally also have some strength and are not too afraid.

There are many water bandits in this world. As long as you have good skills in your hands, a bamboo wormwood can come and go freely. If it is on land, the army of the four towns of Northern Qi is approaching. No matter what kind of green forest heroes are killed together, the army will lose its number of advantages on this water route. If it is not good at martial arts, it will not be able to even send a large army to encircle and suppress it.

If a strong man came out, he would naturally escape and drill into the reed marshes. He would naturally not be able to find it. After trying a few times, the Northern Qi army stopped. The bandits on both sides knew that the tiger could not touch the butt and would not take the initiative to provoke the official ships of the Northern Qi court. Tian Hongyi could only turn a blind eye for the time being.

Third, if you want to go through the water, ships are naturally indispensable, and this ship is very particular. If you want to build a ship that carries thousands of stones and can take a hundred people, what you need is high-quality wood such as elm, red wood, camphor wood, and nanmu, which is enough to make ordinary merchants lose everything, not to mention the keel that runs through the entire ship. It is necessary to use good wood and make it three years to make it mature. When the wood is mature, dozens of craftsmen will work day and night for June to make a good ship.

The material labor fee alone is at least ten thousand taels of silver. After the ship is completed, people have to be recruited and deal with the waterway. Some smaller forces cannot be played with at all.

But these three are not a problem for Xu Yao and others. First of all, Xu Yao went there instead of Liusanmen, so he was naturally qualified to take the official boat, so naturally there was no unnecessary expense.

Second, on the official boat, there is no need to worry about Xiao Xiao coming to harass him. When he was transferred to his boat, Li Xing was revered as one of the thirty-six dragon heads by the heroes on the Rage Longjiang River. Xu Yao and his group did not take goods and had no oil and water to make money. Generally, famous water bandits will naturally give Li Xing a little bit of thin air. As for those little thieves who are not open to their eyes, Xu Yao and his group are not mud-made. If they should send the other party to the road, they will naturally send the other party to the road.

Third, although this official ship is good, Xu Yao did not forget that he had offended Li Tongfu, the prime minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty, although the imperial merchants were clearly

Under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it belongs to the royal family's internal affairs. However, Li Tongfu was very good at the officialdom of Northern Qi, so Xu Yao would not naively think that he could rest assured. Therefore, after using this official boat to leave Linyi City, his group transferred to Li Xing as a large ship placed on the waterway before. From then on, the sea could be wide and the fish could leaps with high sky and birds could fly.

This big ship that Li Xing hid secretly was the biggest reason why Xu Xu finally decided to split the troops with the rest of the six gates. Li Tongfu had no power to deal with Xu Yao, so he naturally had to rely on the official power of the Northern Qi court. The weakest part of the Northern Qi court was in the rivers and lakes where the ships were coming and going.

Secondly, Xu Yao is now showing off his woods in the forest, and his reputation has spread far. If he travels by land, he doesn't know how much trouble will be caused. But if he goes on the water, he will drill into the boat. In fact, the matter will be handled by "professional" Li Xing, which will naturally save many troubles.

Of course, Xu Yao naturally couldn't imagine that this matter was so comprehensive. He relied on Zhang Weiran's plan. When it comes to everyone's way of traveling, he naturally had to say about the big ship that Li Xingwei hid on the way of water.

Since Mingguang Temple returned to secular life, Li Xing has been surfing the Rage Long River. After he was revered as one of the thirty-six dragon heads of Rage Long River, he slowly saved up his family. After having his own ship, he went to Linyi, summoned his clan members and established a family.

Later, Li Xing did his own business in order to do this waterway business, trying not to make any mistakes. Over the past few decades, he had already saved a lot of family assets. In order to know that the Li family seemed to have gained a foothold in Linyi City, he actually relied on the Xinglong business on this waterway. In order to make the Li family go a step further, he concealed the people of the tribe. In recent years, he secretly gathered most of the income of the tribe and prepared to build another large ship to expand the scale of the Li family's business on the waterway.

The reason why Li Xing hid it from the rest of the Li family was naturally afraid that people would talk too much and leak the news. You should know that in Linyi City, there are naturally not only Li family members who are qualified to walk on this waterway. For example, the Fan family, who cooperated with Xu Yao, also have the qualifications to transport a small waterway. If he knew that he had the ambition to expand the waterway business, then whether there were any countermeasures would be something that no one could tell.

However, Li Xingwei never expected that it was because of this incident that the Li family misunderstood that they used public welfare and took over the benefits. Later, they had a divorce from Li Xing and plotted against Li Xing for his wealth and life.

But the past is gone. Since the Li family has been destroyed, there is no need to mention it. The big ship that had been built in secret is still there, but now it is a cheaper one.
