Sister Ghost pouted, "That's what I said about the black hearts of those fishmongers, yes!" ”

Yang Huairen sighed, "Alas, since they are fishmongers and don't have enough profits, will they gather in Yongle Port?"

However, the price at which they collect fish is so cheap, and the price of selling fish in large restaurants in the interior has increased by at least twenty or thirty times, and it is not all because of their black hearts.

You see, the fishmonger collects the fish, and he collects the whole boat, regardless of the size and type of fish. This may be the customary habit of the fishermen in Yongle Port to sell fish, that is, to sell the whole boat, and these fishmongers cannot be allowed to pick and choose.

In this way, the interests of the fishermen themselves are fundamentally guaranteed. And the fishmongers buy the whole boatload of fish, so that they can start picking according to the needs of the market.

The fish that the rich like to eat, the big one, naturally has to be packaged, put in the refrigerator car, and transported to the restaurants in the inland cities to sell, and the smaller or less popular fish are taken back to dry or smashed into fish sauce for sale.

Dried fish and fish sauce are not expensive, and they can't be sold for much money. The cost of transportation is also very high for those big fish that sell for a high price, and on the way to transportation, in order to keep them fresh, you have to buy a lot of ice cubes to use.

Therefore, the whole cost of fishmongers is also very high, and it is not so easy for them to make this money. ”

Sister Ghost also sighed, "Whether it's a fishmonger or a fisherman, they can't tolerate it, and I can't take care of it right now, but now is the time when Yongle Port is open for fishing, and it's difficult for us to buy a boat, it's not a matter of money at all." ”

Yang Huairen continued to comfort her, "Don't worry, haven't you already sent someone out to inquire, it is indeed difficult to buy fishermen's personal fishing boats, but many fishermen cannot own their own fishing boats, many of them are chartered fishing boats to go to sea to fish."

There are so many owners of fishing boats in Yongle Port, as long as we can move one of them, buy or hire ten boats from him, and then we can leave Yongle Port. ”

Lu Jinyi, who had been silently drinking tea beside him, said worriedly, "Little brother still thinks that this matter is not simple, if we just use a boat, we don't need to worry so much."

But renting ten ships at a time will inevitably arouse the suspicion of those ship owners, and although the matter of my brother and sister-in-law has not yet reached Yongle Port, it should not be long before it will be spread.

When the time comes, it will be even more difficult to leave, even if those ship owners are greedy for money, they will not offend the new Khitan emperor, it is a matter of losing their heads. ”

Brother Tianba nodded, "Brother Lu Jinyi is right!" ”

Then he turned to Yang Huairen again, "Brother, since we are running for our lives, what are we doing so politely?" Why don't you just find a big shipowner, put a knife on his neck, and directly rob him of a good woman? ”

Yang Huairen said, "Nonsense! Do you think this is in our Great Song Dynasty? Can my brother cover anything? The strong dragon still doesn't crush the head snake!

You think that more than 100 of us seem to be very strong, but after all, this is not on our own land, those shipowners are all famous local snakes in Yongle Port, and the entire wharf of Yongle Port is actually under their control.

Look closely at the black-skinned guys walking around the docks, they're not fishermen, they're not fishmongers, they're just a bunch of ruffians who keep the rules of the docks.

Tell me, whose people can they be? Maybe you think that our brothers are strong in martial arts, and you don't need to take this group of people in your eyes, but as soon as we make trouble, the matter will not be hidden, and the local government of Yongle Port will immediately be able to guess who we are.

I've alarmed Yelubawotai, can we still go? ”

Tianba's younger brother thought about it, not because he was afraid of those ground snakes, but because he couldn't alarm the Khitan Emperor.

"What my brother taught me a lesson, I said, no wonder my brother has arrived in Yongle Port, so he went to buy some medicinal materials from Liaodong, it turned out to be a cover-up."

Yongle Port is a fishing port, but like many fishing ports around Bohai Bay in recent years, there are still many people who do smuggling business.

Whether it was transporting tea and cloth from the Song Dynasty to the Liao Dynasty, or transporting medicinal materials from the Liao State to the Song Dynasty, if the normal land route was taken, the merchants had to pay a large amount of customs duties at both ends.

But if it is smuggled by sea, this money is saved, and the merchants can also make a greater profit. Therefore, Yang Huairen deliberately bought some medicinal materials that were not very valuable, pretending to be a Song Dynasty merchant who smuggled medicinal materials, so as to hide people's eyes.

At that time, as long as you rent or buy a boat, you will smuggle medicinal herbs and leave secretly, and the fishermen of Yongle Port are used to seeing such smugglers, so they don't care so much.

While everyone was talking, the person who had been sent out in the morning to contact the local boat owner returned, but the news he brought back was not very optimistic, because Yongle Port had just opened for fishing recently, and the fishing boats were basically rented out, and if they wanted to use the boats, they would have to wait at least a month before at least ten boats could be vacated for them.

Yang Huairen smashed his mouth, he had thought about this, but he didn't expect to wait so long.

"It's troublesome, since we are pretending to be businessmen, there is no problem staying in a place like Yongle Port for a few days, but after a long time, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of others.

And once the news comes from Zhongjing, we will have no way to escape, and I don't know how many people are trying to curry favor with the new emperor. ”

Brother Hei Niu was also a little worried, "There are so many of us, we need at least ten fishing boats to take all the people away, but we can't get a single boat right now, do we really have to wait for a month?" ”

Sister Ghost was a little anxious, I wanted to say that what we have is money, and it's a big deal to find some craftsmen to make ten new boats, but after thinking about it, I am really a layman in this regard, and ten ships can be made so quickly if we don't have money.

Yang Huairen took a deep breath, turned his head and headed towards the fishing port, and began to doubt his judgment at the crossroads at the beginning.

Maybe it's providence that just caught them in time for the fishing season in Yongle Port, which made it difficult for them to rent a boat back to the Great Song Dynasty?

If the sea route can't be taken, then do you have to turn around and go back, find a way to take the land route, break up the brigade, and return to the Great Song Dynasty separately?

He thought of a lot of ways, but he felt that none of them could return to the Great Song Dynasty unharmed, and he was unwilling to face them.

At this moment, a refrigerator truck loaded with fish drove under the teahouse, and the broken ice made a "clang" sound.

Yang Huairen looked at the smug fishmonger walking behind the refrigerator car, and suddenly smiled, "Haha, I thought about how we are going to return to the Great Song Dynasty by sea!" ”
