Chapter 663 Pay attention to the image
The boats moored on the shore here are also densely packed.

The pier is also overcrowded.

Pang Shiwu said softly: "Brother, Zhang Zilu and the others seem to be following behind."

Feng Jiuxiao said indifferently: "Just follow. If they don't mess with us, let's ignore them."

He had known for a long time that the dozen or so people behind him were following him from a distance.In fact, it was Xiong Mengyan who wanted to follow him, Zhang Zilu, Duanmuyan, and Wang Sheng followed Xiong Mengyan, and each of their two followers followed four of them, a total of twelve people, mighty and mighty, followed from afar.

Since the other party didn't bother me, of course I don't have to pay attention to them.

Pang Shiwu looked at the forest of masts on the river, and murmured: "I don't know when the Khitan Imperial Teacher will come and where we will meet."

Master Po Luo said at this time: "Our appointment is to be on a large ship at this pier. But the specific ship is not clearly stated, and the Khitan State Teacher said that everyone will know in due course. I suspect they It may have arrived."

Pang Shiwu looked around, there were several building boats moored at the pier on the river, I don't know if the Khitan Imperial Teacher is on top of those buildings!
"It's so mysterious!"

"Hehe, you can't be mysterious. Once everyone's whereabouts are detected by Da Zhou's spies, all previous efforts will be wasted, ah, no, I mean, all previous efforts will be wasted for them!"

"It's okay, I understand. Since we are a family now, you don't have to be scruples about what you say, just say whatever you want. You don't have to look at my elder brother, I will decide this matter!"

"Oh, that's fine, that's fine."

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Leave them alone, let's get on the boat first and settle things down."

Pang Shiwu swept his eyes and locked on a building boat. He quickly came to the side of the building boat and saw a man who looked like the owner of the boat standing there. , very friendly, he asked: "Excuse me, are you the owner of the ship?"

"That's right, I'm the owner of the ship. I don't know how many guest officers are there? I still have more than a dozen rooms here, which are very comfortable, and I'm sure you'll be satisfied! Hehe!"

"How much is it?"

"Not much, 20 two for one. Hehe!"

"Hehe, there are only twelve taels up there, and you want 20 taels, and you said it's not expensive, am I right? Haha!"

"Hehe, the guest officer doesn't know. After all, this is in the territory of Dazhou, and it is not connected to the outside world. There is no risk along the way, but this section of my road is different. It borders Dazhou. Let alone be careful when you encounter Dazhou. Zhou Guanbing, sometimes there will be some thieves coming and going, I have to take a big risk. Ha ha."

"No, it should be our guests who take the risk, right? Those water thieves must be targeting our guests, right? What risk do you ship owners have? If they are not good for you, they will kill the chicken and take the eggs. Digging for your own money?"

"Hehe, little brother, if only it were as simple as breaking money and avoiding disasters, we would pay them as soon as they boarded the ship, which would save trouble. To be honest, we are not afraid of those thieves, because they are just as you said In that way, keep a line for people to see each other in the future. They only want to make money and don’t kill their lives. He will search and leave. What we are most afraid of is that in some unintentional areas, there will be a small group of water thieves. They dress up as fishermen This kind of temporary robber is the most troublesome. He usually looks like a commoner or a fisherman. When he robs money, he is a bandit or a robber. He doesn't even blink when he kills people! They are dead, they have long since fled without a trace!"

In the huge Yangtze River basin, where did they go to track down these thieves after throwing their boats away?
Those "officially" bandits who have become bandits are relatively well-organized and have rules. They have clear goals and strict discipline.

What I am most afraid of are those refugees who not only rob money but also kill people!
Some people speculate that the so-called refugees are all fake. These people usually have another layer of identity. In order to cover up their crimes of robbery, most of them are silenced!

"It doesn't matter, since you're taking such a big risk, twenty is twenty, the four of us, this is 100 taels, and the rest will be used for meals!"

"Thank you son!"

More than a dozen servants moved the goods onto the upstairs ship one after another.

There are already two groups of guests on this boat.

One of them was a young couple, dressed luxuriously, both of them had long swords hanging from their waists, they seemed to be from martial arts.

The other group consisted of a scribe and a bookboy.

After Feng Jiuxiao and the others boarded the boat, a boatman led the horses of the four to the stern.One of the advantages of building boats is that they are large in size and capacity. Not to mention horses, sometimes carriages can also be pulled up!
Only unexpected, nothing impossible!
The four building boats were moored quietly on the river, still waiting to solicit customers.Due to the high cost of building boats, there are still a small number of people taking the building boats.These ship owners seem to be determined to maintain high prices, and they will not lower prices when they are empty or empty.

Pang Shiwu said: "Brother, they resisted the high price to the death, didn't they lose in the end?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "What they maintain is not only a high price, but also a quality issue. Sitting on a building boat is a symbol of status. If you don't sit, he won't sit, but there will always be someone to sit. As long as there is one person sitting every day, he That's enough money!"

Pang Shiwu said: "Then these ship owners have colluded, why don't everyone lower the price, but some people still increase the price?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "This shows the degree of tacit understanding among the merchants in a place. They are very powerful here. No one destroys each other. They all make up for each other. Just take the example just now. The owner of the ship said that there is no danger above. Two, there is a risk of 20 taels below, he just emphasized that it is not easy for him and asked for more money, and he did not punish others to demean himself and promote himself, which is much better than some of our local vendors."

Pang Shiwu said: "That's right, everyone in the same street is an enemy, they undercut each other's prices, and in the end more than half of them died, only a few survived, but it's hard to continue."

Feng Jiuxiao said: "In addition to the boats on the Yangtze River, their land business also has some characteristics, have you noticed?"

Pang Shiwu said: "No."

Feng Jiuxiao said: "There are no more than four waterways for the building boats on the Yangtze River, have you noticed?"

Pang Shiwu recalled carefully, and then his eyes flashed, "It's true."

Feng Jiuxiao said: "This is orderly competition. I also noticed that in their market, as long as there is a teahouse in one place, there will be no second one within a hundred feet! There are restaurants and cloth shops next to the teahouse. Grain stores, grocery stores, and then private houses, in short, it seems that someone is secretly laying out the layout, all businesses within a road section are complementary, and there is almost no competition."

Pang Shiwu was a little surprised, "Really? I didn't pay attention at the time."

Yuan Zishan said from behind: "If this is the case, then these shops must become more and more prosperous, which one will close down?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Yes, although competition is good for customers, it is cruel for merchants. It is really not easy to survive."

Pang Shiwu said: "Brother, should we also do the same in the future when we deploy business in various places?"

Feng Jiuxiao said with a smile: "You will infer other things from one instance."

When Xiong Mengyan and others saw that Feng Jiuxiao had boarded the fat boat, they boarded another adjacent boat.

When she got on the deck, she suddenly saw a group of people gathered together.

A middle-aged scribe was sitting on the master chair, facing the bow of the ship, as if admiring the scenery of the distant mountains.

Four middle-aged men stood behind him, who seemed to be bodyguards.

Xiong Mengyan originally wanted to stand on the bow of the boat to enjoy the scenery, but he didn't expect someone else to occupy it first, and he was quite annoyed.

But blowing these people away seemed to be demeaning, so she jumped onto the roof of the boat.

In fact, the top of the boat is not small, and there is no problem for more than [-] big men standing on it.

As soon as she landed on the top of the boat, a middle-aged man on the deck suddenly looked back at her.

Originally, he wanted to see who would dare to be so arrogant and directly show off his lightness skills, but he was attracted by Xiong Mengyan at this glance!
This woman is really seductive!

The scribe on the grand teacher's chair said without looking back: "Mu Hua, pay attention to your image!"

The middle-aged man seemed to be blushing, hurriedly bowed and said: "The last general lost his composure for a while, Grand Master Wanwang forgive me!"
