Chapter 2999

Bai Shan, they are smart, and they are not stupid in charge. Besides, if you have any goods, just ask a few more questions. What cloth to transport, where to origin, where to go, how many people are needed, and there are requirements on time

Even if Bai Shanyan's words seemed to be true, I felt that they didn't really want to transport goods.

Moreover, compared with the ships of their firm, this group is obviously more interested in the ferry terminal. Steward Yu feels that they are not looking for ships to transport goods, but rather to participate in the business of merchant ships and compete for business with their firm.

So he was enthusiastic at the beginning, but he was a lot colder after talking about it.

Bai Shan sighed in his heart. His words are not sincere. There is no way. They have no real business experience. This can't deceive people. He can't really get a batch of cloth to go to Jiangnan.

The news is that he can't inquire any more. Bai Shan generously paid for the meal and didn't let steward Yu pay. His original intention was to express his apology.

But in the eyes of Yu Guanshi, it is even more white and good. They have a bad intention.

I wish I could slap myself. I think he is meeting a colleague who is about to enter the industry. I ask you to talk more and make your feet fast.

So he didn't want to sit down, so he got up and said, "young master Bai, I'm still busy in someone's firm. I'll leave first today. If young master Bai wants to go to our firm, just come to me at Yu's firm. No matter what goods are transported, I'll make it cheaper for you."

Bai Shan responded with a smile and didn't want to sit down in the restaurant. They came to inquire about the enemy in the gap between rest and bathing. Oh, no, they didn't have much time, so they had to go back tomorrow.

He plans to send Yu Guanshi away, and then go to the wharf to talk to someone and find hard workers. Although they can only know some details, they can see the whole leopard from a glimpse. He hasn't found a great craftsman who can build the ferry yet, but he can first ask how the ferry in Laizhou was built in the past. If they can find those craftsmen and their descendants

Bai Shan's abacus snapped, so he got up and planned to send Yu to work.

Zhou man, they also soothed the heart hurt by the face and got up.

Just down to the second floor, several people on the second floor wanted to go down. When they saw someone coming down on the third floor, they turned sideways and gave way. Bai Shan glanced at it. Both sides were stunned.

Cheng Jiulang didn't dare to admit it, but a pair of Bai Shan's eyes saw the surprise in his eyes. Cheng Jiulang knew he didn't admit his mistake.

He quickly bowed and saluted. Bai Shan had already stepped ahead of him and said with a smile, "it's brother Cheng. Unexpectedly, it's such a coincidence. Are you still in Laizhou or have you come back from Jiangnan?"

Cheng Jiulang glanced at Yu Guan, who was standing aside. He was so lucky that he smiled and said, "I just came back from Jiangnan. I didn't expect to meet young master Bai here."

Steward Yu knows Cheng Jiulang. The Cheng family also has merchant ships here, but they are not big, and there is only one ship. Sometimes they can't finish loading their goods, they will find ships of other firms on the wharf. Anyway, most of us will go south or North together, which is safer.

He looked at Bai Shan suspiciously. Was it his wrong calculation? He really came to do business, not to rob business?

He paused, but Bai Shan had seen off the guests, so he had to go downstairs. Before leaving, he reiterated, "Mr. Bai, the rest of our family has three ships, with more than ten years of shipping experience, which is much safer than other businesses. After you consider it, you can bring the goods to me, and I'll find the owner and make it cheaper for you."

As for how much the original price is and how much it is cheaper, we'll talk about it then.

Bai Shan answered with a smile. After seeing Yu off, he turned and went upstairs. He and Cheng Jiulang ordered another table of wine and vegetables.

Zhou man and Bai Erlang quietly touched their stomachs and felt that they couldn't eat any more. They would support themselves if they ate again. It was bad for their stomach, so they could only look at the food on the table and sigh.

Cheng Jiulang didn't expect to meet Bai Shan either. As soon as he entered the private room, he saluted again. "Someone Cheng called on Bai county magistrate..."

"Be free," Bai Shan said with a smile. "We have the friendship of peers. Why should brother Cheng Jiu be so polite?"

Cheng Jiulang saluted again. "I didn't know the identity of Lord Bai on that day. I'm very negligent. Please forgive me."

"Where is this? We talked happily that day. Where did the neglect come from?" After greeting, Bai Shan introduced Bai Erlang and the Princess: "this is the friend we met on the road when we took office, Cheng Jiulang."

He also introduced Cheng Jiulang: "this is my younger martial brother and ethnic brother. He is a sophomore at home. This is the second wife."

Cheng Jiulang saluted immediately, "white second childe, second lady."

At this time, Cheng Jiulang was pure and didn't notice anything wrong.

The two sides just sat down. Cheng Jiulang knew Bai Shan's identity. Naturally, he knew that he could not come for goods, but when he saw that he was not accompanied by Laizhou officials, he knew that he came here in micro clothes, which was a little subtle.

Even if Beihai county is adjacent to Ye County, the county magistrate will not come to Linxian County unless invited.

"Does Lord Bai come to Yexian for business?"

Bai Shan smiled. He didn't say whether he was on business or came privately. He just said, "I'll take a look at Laizhou ferry."

He looked at the dock outside the window. "I've heard of Laizhou ferry, but I haven't seen it yet. This view really deserves its reputation and is very prosperous."

Cheng Jiulang said: "in terms of ferry, Yangzhou and Hangzhou are more prosperous, but although Laizhou wharf is smaller, it can also accommodate many ships."

"Is there a boat that can't get into the ferry and has to stop outside?"

"This is a common thing," Cheng Jiulang said. "Especially last year, your majesty took Liaodong. Many ships will go to Liaodong. There are more and more ships from Xinluo and Baiji. The ferry can't accommodate so many ships at the moment, so we can only queue up."

Bai Shan's eyes flashed slightly, "how long does it take?"

Cheng Jiulang said with a smile, "it's not long. It's up to half a day a night. If you can't get into the ferry and get ashore, the ship can go to Qingzhou again."

Bai Shan also knew that there was a ferry in Qingzhou and asked, "why not go to Qingzhou?"

"The ferry in Qingzhou is smaller, it's difficult to park, and there are troops stationed. Business travelers don't like to go there."

Bai Shan understands that with a large army, there may be more filial piety and so on. Things are more mixed.

Bai Shan asked about the ferry. What Cheng Jiulang could know was basically not a secret. Most of the firms that do business here knew it, so he answered very simply. He said he didn't know what Bai Shan asked.

Bai Shan was so happy that he asked, "brother Cheng Jiu, do you know who drew the drawing of Laizhou ferry?"

Cheng Jiulang was stunned and shook his head. "I don't know. It should be the work department. Adults don't know. Cheng doesn't know more."
