Now Tongda Dacheshang has two fleets, one for inland shipping, led by Ruan Xiaowu, with nearly 100 black-sailed ships, mainly from Dongping Prefecture to Bianjing. This route has a large cargo volume and makes money when traveling.

The ships on the sea are relatively large, so they are called fleets. It turns out that there is only one fleet, just the one led by Ruan Xiaoqi, with eight warships and seventy or eighty merchant ships.

The candidates for the new fleet escort became a big problem. Wu Song decided to go to Goryeo a few trips to see the situation before deciding. The sailors and captains of each family were ready-made. Each of the six warships was equipped with 60 sailors. A few months ago, Bian Xiang and Tang Bin had recruited more than 300 fishermen nearby for training. Wu Song was the fleet leader, Gongsun served as military advisor, and Tang Bin was the deputy.

The fleet trained in the waters near Qinghe Island for more than 20 days. Gongsun Sheng chose a good day and prepared to continue after sacrificing the world. The cannon was loaded and sailed.

"Ring the horns, beat the drums." With Wu Song's order, thirty ships, the horns of the horns, and the cowhide drums were beating, and the huge sails bulged out and sailed towards the Goryeo.

The weather is beautiful, and now it is autumn weather, with the northwest winds being strong, and the fleet sailing hundreds of miles a day. On the third day, it arrived near the port of Kaicheng, Goryeo. Wu Song ordered the fleet to stop. Six warships were waiting for Gongsun Sheng to stay on the warship to stay on the warship. The warship guards took turns to the dock to rest, and more than twenty merchant ships went to the port to trade.

Wu Song came without preparation. At the Kaicheng Wharf of Goryeo, a small boss from Quanzhou cooperated with Wu Song. He has been in Goryeo for more than ten years. Although he has no great energy, he is familiar with it, and has made some preparations for the early stage.

Wu Song, Tang Bin, Luo Ping, Li Kui, Hu Sanniang, Hu Cheng, Jiao Ting, and Chai Jin's cousin Chai Lin. He is responsible for Chai Jin's business. After all, the eight ships of cargo are not a joke.

The Kaicheng Wharf is very large, and there are no less than a thousand merchant ships parked in a vast expanse. Before the fleet landed, the managers of the Goryeo Wharf came over. They had their own information and got on board to find out the situation and arranged berths. Although Goryeo is a small country, it attaches great importance to customs taxes and sends people to watch the ship. As long as the goods are unloaded, they will collect taxes. If loading, they are generally tax-free.

The boss from Quanzhou came to help contact us. Hu Cheng, Chai Lin and others were responsible for selling goods. This time they came, all silk, cloth, tea, porcelain, and canned goods were popular goods in Goryeo, so they didn’t have to worry about selling. The wharf was equivalent to a wholesale market. Doors were all here to pick up goods. As soon as the ship was docked, merchants like flies flocked to them. If they were familiar, they would pick up goods directly. However, those who came here for the first time like Tongda Commercial Bank saw more and bought less, and they were all waiting for the price. When did the merchants feel that the price was right before they placed an order?

There are some veterans in the business bank who are responsible for price negotiations. Wu Song is not good at doing this and does not participate in this kind of thing.

Wu Song and a dozen people left the fleet and went ashore, and planned to find a restaurant to have dinner at the dock.

Li Kui said as he walked, "I really thought I was in a foreign country. It turned out that like the people there, and the hotels and hotels next to me seemed to be from us."

Tang Bin said: "Our fleet has old crew members from southern Fujian. It is said that there are at least hundreds of shops run by Quanzhou people at Kaicheng Wharf. I think it is similar. There are many people in Quanzhou here. There are very few people in Shandong."

Wu Song said: "It doesn't matter. Although Shandong was behind in the past, it won't be the case in the future. Let's catch up."

Wu Song looked up and saw a big restaurant with a sign hanging: "Quanzhou Seafood Building."

Wu Song said: "We come here for a meal, and we have to go back to the warship tonight."

Everyone said: "No problem, this restaurant looks high-end."

It is true, not only high-end, but the price is not low. When I went in, I found that the private room was full. The waiter said, "Let's eat in the lobby. There is no minimum consumption in the lobby, just a small table, and more than a dozen people are divided into two tables. The swift crabs in our store are very famous and tastes very fresh."

No one is pretentious. If you don’t have a private room and don’t have a meal, you can divide it into two tables and eat seafood in the lobby. In autumn, fish, shrimp and crabs are all fat and taste very good.

Hu Sanniang picked up a big crab, and when she peeled the shell, the water splashed on her pink face. After all, she was a beautiful woman and followed her fiancé. Hu Sanniang quickly wiped it with a tissue. This shy scene happened to be seen by a handsome young man who came down from the private room upstairs. She was handsome and had a smelly mouth. The young man said, "What a beautiful girl, she must have a good taste."

The follower next to him said, "Young master has good eyesight, big chest and thin waist are good at kung fu."

This kind of thing is big or small. If someone says that Wu Song’s own affairs are all concerned, Wu Song will care at all, but Hu Sanniang and Wu Songgang are engaged, and now they are his fiancée. Some people teased his fiancée in person, and they must not refuse to express their opinions.

Wu Song said: "Which young master is you? Didn't your parents teach you how to speak when you came out?"

The young master said, "When you came out, your parents didn't teach you how to speak and do things, do you have to rely on your strength? Are your fists strong enough?"

This young master is crazy, but he has crazy capital. Hulala has more than 20 swordsmen from the upstairs, with disheveled hair and looks like Japanese ronin.

Wu Song sat there without moving, and the dozens of fish were not enough to be seen.

Tang Bin said: "If you try to try it, how do you want to play it?"

The young master said, "I am Zheng Jing of the Zheng family in Quanzhou, and I am responsible for the business in Kaicheng. You are also from Zhongyuan. If you want to do business in Kaicheng, I have to nod, otherwise I will let you sell anything."

Tang Bin asked: "How can I make you nod?"

"I think this girl is good, just give it to me. You can do whatever you want in the city in the future." Zheng Jing said.

In fact, it was very common to send women to women during the Northern Song Dynasty, and women had a low status. For example, in order to ease Qin Ming's conflict, Song Jiang gave Hua Rong's sister to Qin Ming. However, Wu Song was not so generous, nor as shameless as Song Jiang. He could give his fiancée to others, just to take care of his business for the other party.

"You guys, I'm a man, you're a ancestor, don't want to live anymore." Li Kui took the axe and passed by. After a few months in Badong, Li Kui didn't learn anything else. He remembered the local swear words, and felt that it was exciting to curse.

"Baga." A ronin draws his sword and wants to scare Li Kui. Li Kui doesn't understand this. He thinks that the ronin wants to use the sword, so he is the best to start first. He slashes his head with a big axe. The ronin quickly dodges, but he is still one step slower, and the bun on his head is split.

The two sides searched the guys and stopped eating. Luo Ping had a bad temper. He just served a table of seafood and was disturbed before he could eat it. He ate a big prawn and beat him with a tiger.
