Chapter 601 Urgent Operation
"Can it be too late? Don't just rush to Magong Town to do business, when you encounter the White Lotus Sect rebellion." Liu Jianzhong said worriedly.
"It's okay, you haven't been to Magong Town, so I don't know that although it is a town, it is actually even more magnificent than Zijin County. And it is a coastal area and there are countless merchant ships on the coast. No matter what, I don't believe that the White Lotus Sect dares to attack Magong Town. What I am worried about is that if the two sides of the Longjiang River are occupied by the White Lotus Sect, it will cause us trouble. So I think if this transaction is successful, I will have to buy more small warships like the Nanlin! As long as the water transportation can be smooth, even if the White Lotus Sect makes Shanzhou Prefecture a mess, our business will be done as expected. Maybe with fewer competitors, our business will be better!" Zhang Zhongjun said while walking out.
"It's very likely that this is the case. Sir, if the water transportation is smooth and Magong Town is safe, we might be able to make a lot of money by reselling grain business. If the White Lotus Sect rebelled in Shanzhou Prefecture, the countryside would definitely not be spared. Only the county and prefecture cities would be surrounded alone. If we can open up channels, the money we can make would be really dazzling!" Liu Jianzhong said suddenly excitedly.
"Let's talk about it then! Let's prepare now! Once you are ready, come out immediately!" Zhang Zhongjun said decisively.
"Yes!" Liu Jianzhong immediately ran out happily.
Zhang Zhongjun began to act vigorously and the preparations were completed quickly. After all, once the wood was cut down, it would be transported to the river to tie it up and made into wooden rafts. Most of them were hoarding wood that had been cut before, so this work was not troublesome.
Similarly, Zhang Zhongjun also summoned all the patrol officers and selected 150 patrol officers to climb the wooden raft. In addition to the swords and spears, they carried all the bows, arrows, crossbows, but they were not wearing armor. There were also dozens of smart, knowledgeable, sharp-eyed, eloquent, and very good at talking, and all of them began to camp on the wooden raft made of 50,000 wood.
Since we knew that the White Lotus Sect would not easily pass the boundary, and the White Lotus Sect had not yet rebelled, Zhang Zhongjun took all the patrol officers away with confidence. Anyway, there were still large tickets for the police to be responsible for public security, so there was no need to worry too much.
In addition to the nearly 200 armed forces, the platoons, which have been absorbed by the specialty store in Shuilin District, were naturally dispatched. Even if there was not enough manpower, they specially recruited a group of people, which led to the formation of personnel who could control so many platoons.
With so many people, they are naturally busy. Not to mention anything else, they have to transport the food, wood and other supplies needed along the way for a while, and waterproofing measures have to be taken.
It can be said that the only idle person is Li Feng, the man who controls the Nanlin battleship. Who asked the warship to prepare long-distance supplies early? However, a few patrol officers and constables have also been added, not for surveillance, but for manipulators and crossbows.
Seeing that Zhang Zhongjun was about to start the most massive discharge operation in history, the top figures from the five towns flocked to Nanlin Wharf to pay respects. This time, these people were much more enthusiastic than before, and they could even detect the kindness from the bottom of their hearts.
It's normal. The wooden rafts spreading to the end of their sight on the river are their assets. Although they were sold to Zhang Zhongjun on the contract, they have not yet obtained the money, so they are very much looking forward to Zhang Zhongjun's success in this transaction.
Zhang Zhongjun naturally told these rich people about the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect. At the beginning, these rich people were so scared that their faces were pale and their bodies trembled.
But after Zhang Zhongjun said that Fengwu Hall and the Sanyun Gang had contracted the power and property of Meiyuan Prefecture, Shanzhou Prefecture, and Jiezhou Prefecture, these local tyrants breathed a sigh of relief, then calmed down one by one, and reminded Zhang Zhongjun to be careful along the way to Magong Town this time.
This made Zhang Zhongjun stunned. It turned out that these guys believed that the White Lotus Sect would not cross the boundaries and were rampant in the three palaces, so they were so calm?
In response to this, Zhang Zhongjun could only shake his head helplessly. Damn it, this is the case with the gang, the local tyrants and gentry. The White Lotus Sect has such a good reputation? Are you not afraid that they will suddenly repent or suddenly lose control and affect the surroundings?
Forget it, they don’t care, what else do they worry about?
Zhang Zhongjun shook his head and, after receiving the prepared report, he naturally rafted onto the raft and ordered to set sail. Amid the waves and cheers of the people on the shore, the huge wooden raft slowly ran along the water.
The journey was smooth, but it was not enough to do, especially in the Nanlin River, some winding rivers, where people on the raft needed to work together to prevent collisions, and hard-working turns and other things. The patrol officers and constables who were not involved in the discharge work had to join in, so that everyone could take turns to rest.
Zhang Zhongjun, the chief officer, even ran up and down. When he encountered some dangerous areas, he forced a breakthrough with his strength at the peak of the Marrow Cleansing Realm. Fortunately, there was an experienced radiator for each 100-meter wooden raft to command and monitor, otherwise the long raft of up to 50,000 would have blocked the river early.
However, although he was tired and busy, Zhang Zhongjun liked such a busy feeling, and the feeling of fulfillment was no worse than when he was practicing. In this regard, Zhang Zhongjun could only laugh at himself as a busy life.
On the way, Zhang Zhongjun naturally saw the cliff and the pine tree, and also saw the dazzling purple light. The wooden rafts even passed slowly under the cliff. As long as Zhang Zhongjun was willing, he climbed up to dig out the treasures, and the wooden rafts had not all passed.
But Zhang Zhongjun could not do things in such a public eye, and he had not obtained a substitute. He was a little doubtful that the news that he had gone from a scholar who had no power to fight the chicken to the peak of the Marrow Cleansing Realm in just a few months had spread. After it was spread, such as Lord Li and other figures who knew the existence of the jade tablet and dagger had already peeked at him and his residence several times.
It is normal for someone to be stronger than you and not show up at all. And because there is really no treasure on you, you can be very calm, but if there is that purple treasure, you will not be calm.
At the same time, I did not consider clearly how to hide this treasure and how to replace it without doubting things. I must never touch the purple treasure, otherwise it would be a waste of time for others to give me a dowry!
