Liu Yong walked over to the wood with his hands behind his back, and a few people around him hurriedly followed, don't look at his short stature, but he has been in the top position for a long time, and his style has been sufficient, he is slightly dressed up, and outsiders will only think that he is a character from a wealthy family when they see it, and they will not suspect others.

There were people guarding the timber yard, and seeing Liu Yong and others looking at each piece of wood very seriously, there was immediately a figure like the shopkeeper who stepped forward with a smile, but the accent was not from Dengzhou, but more like the official dialect from Liaodong: "This guest officer wants to buy wood?" ”

"My family wants to build a new house, but now the wood is difficult to buy, and there is a lack of materials for beams and pillars. Liu Yong already had a Huainan accent at this time, which was the accent of the wealthy people of Qingjiangpu and Yangzhou.

Hearing this, the smile on the shopkeeper's face was even stronger, building a house requires beams, but those who need pillars are rich and noble, and those who can come to buy outside Shandong Province must be a wealthy person in charge, this oil and water is even bigger, looking at Liu Yong stretched out his hand to rub one of the woods, the shopkeeper said with a smile: "This guest officer is unlucky, these woods have been ordered away, and they are now in luck." ”

Liu Yong said "oh" indifferently, and said indifferently: "Then I'll go to other homes to have a look." ”

The steward of the wood yard saw that the big patron was leaving, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "This guest officer, don't you see the wood on this dock is piled up, but it has been sold, now we have a big wood in Daming, when Grandpa Jiajing repaired the palace, he was looking for wood in Liaodong and Sichuan, but now these two sides are in war, there is wood production, the world is in urgent need, here is a boat to be bought by someone to buy a boat, guest officer, if you want, you can give a deposit, and wait for our next boat of wood here." ”

Seeing that Liu Yong didn't believe it, the steward swore and said: "If the guest officer doesn't believe it, you can ask, there is no spot in the family, how many years of old relationship can we have here, so we can get wood, it is a big tree in the deep mountains and old forests!" ”

"Aren't the deep mountains and old forests all Tartar boundaries? Now that you're fighting so hard, can you still get wood? ”

"Tartars also have to do business, but they lack food, iron and medicine, as long as you pour these into the past, don't say that wood is even people can buy it!" The steward wasn't very shy about it.

Liu Yong just nodded and said, "Then believe you, I'll go to other places to see, if it's as you said, I'll come back and ask you." ”

Doing business is like this, no one can force it to be done immediately, the steward responded with a smile, and gave Liu Yong a few words of advice, and then went back to be busy, Liu Yong walked around the wooden yard on the dock, and the previous shopkeeper said the same, the wood of each family has been sold, some people asked Liu Yong to wait for the next wave of ships to arrive, and even some are too lazy to pay attention, it can be seen that this business is really good.

Liu Yong finally went to the previous house, just said to go back and send the required size to this side, if it is sure that it can be supplied, then it will be paid, and these stewards who are guarding the dock will have dividends when they make a business, not to mention that Liu Yong's side seems to be a big deal, and he immediately responded happily, but he didn't expect that when he came over again, Liu Yong was followed by two guys from the boat company, who came to recognize people.

I returned to the inn in the city to live, and asked people on the local light and dark lines, only to know that the timber business had flourished in the past six months, but the people in Yunshan and the internal guard did not take it very seriously, so they did not report it, and another thing was determined, that is, there has indeed been a batch of human trafficking recently.

This kind of bulk trafficking is not the same as the influx of refugees, there are many more young women with outstanding looks and teenagers and girls of the right age and appearance in the market, such high-quality goods rarely appear in batches like this, speaking of this, Li Yuliang remembered the boast of several rich and noble people in Linqingzhou, saying that they can buy good goods, the Li family style is rigorous, and they have never been interested in this, and they never thought that they should be here.

Back at his residence, Li Yuliang, who had endured it for a long time, said angrily: "It's really shameless, this is a collaborator, this is a capital enemy!" ”

"No wonder the eldest brother often says that there is three times the profit, and the death penalty of Wang Fa can't scare people, and they can all sell it." Liu Yong sneered and commented a few words.

Li Yuliang regretted a little after saying those few words, he knew his choice, but some things really couldn't help it, the timber on the dock, the materials that were constantly shipped, the population that was sold in batches, thinking about the fruit that made him angry, but Liu Yong's evaluation made him a little surprised, and then he reacted, Liu Yong just said that they were shameless, but he didn't pay attention to any charges of collaborating with the enemy.

That night, the head of the internal guard in Penglai, the capital of Dengzhou, was reprimanded by Liu Yong, and the next day everyone began to move, in addition to recruiting refugees from Liaodong as usual, he also began to collect a large amount of news about Penglai Military Port, Liu Yong did not wait, but arranged for someone to go to the dock to buy a sea ship directly at a high price, and then replenish a sufficient amount of supplies.

Li Yuliang followed these things, and what made him think about it was that the sea ship was bought, but only the two oldest boatmen on the ship were retained, and the rest had to be hired from abroad, and they were not hired in Penglai Port.

And this time it was obviously to recruit refugees, but the load on the ship did not leave much room, they all brought their own manpower and materials, except for the sailors on the ship, the rest were martial artists from Xuzhou.

Liu Yong sorted out the relevant details about the port of Dengzhou and the trade in Liaodong into documents and passed them to Xuzhou by messenger, but did not mention the late arrival of the Yu family's ships in Dengzhou, and Liu Yong left another four days for the other party, after all, the sea situation is changeable.

When waiting until the next day, the four ships of the Yu family entered the port, and the Yu family first went to the ship line to contact as agreed, and the ship company immediately reported to Liu Yong's side.

"It's really a crime that deserves death, I should have arrived seven days ago, but then I thought that the sea in Liaodong was windy and rough, and in order to be safe, the housekeeper asked us to replace the sand boat with a Guangzhou boat, so I hurried over."

The person led by the Yu family this time is named Yu Dajiang, forty-one years old, and he is also a sturdy and swarthy man at sea, and his speech and demeanor seem very simple and honest, and when he says these words, he is full of guilt and apology.

But Li Yuliang always felt weird, he couldn't see the flaws in the other party's speech and demeanor, he dealt with all kinds of businessmen in Linqingzhou, and saw a lot of shrewd people's expressions, and vaguely always felt that this Yu Dajiang was very similar to those people.

Liu Yong didn't seem to realize this, but said with a smile: "The sea is changeable, and you should be thoughtful, let's set off immediately after two days of rest." ”

After sending away Yu Dajiang and a few people who were grateful for their kindness, Li Yuliang still wanted to remind Liu Yong, but as soon as he left, before he could speak, he saw a sneer on Liu Yong's face.

What to think in his heart is one thing, Liu Yong still led people to the dock to watch the ship, this time the people who followed, including Liu Yong, did not know anything about the sea and sea ships, and it was not clear what the meaning of this Guangzhou ship for sand ship was, but Liu Yong chose one from the hired sailors to take it.

After coming to the port, Liu Yong and his entourage did not rush to find the people of the Yu family's fleet, but first asked the people of the boat to take them to the berth of the dock to see, where there are sand boats and Guangzhou ships.

The hull of the sand ship is wide and flat, while the Guangzhou ship is relatively tall, and the hull and board of the sand ship look less fine than the materials used in the Guangzhou ship.

"This sand boat is loaded a lot, go steady, but can not withstand the wind and waves, go not fast, perennial running open ocean and far sea are with this wide boat to go, run fast, the ship is also strong, but it is not as much as the sand boat, but the ocean and sea loading that are all profiteering, do not care less loading" bring this sailor may not be knowledgeable, but in the sea for a long time, there is always knowledge.

Liu Yong nodded, but his expression that had been tense eased a lot, Liu Yuliang was thinking in his heart, was he too worried, the Yu family was for the safety of everyone, this time going to Liaodong was tantamount to entering the enemy country, it was extremely dangerous, and before doing things, you should consider self-protection, this is done very properly.

After learning about it on the dock, Liu Yong and others came to the dock again the next day, this time directly to meet the Yu family first, and asked them to gather all the sailors and boatmen on the ship, and then look at the ships one by one, and the Yu family naturally complied with this request.

After getting off the ship, Liu Yong and Yu Dajiang, who led the team, agreed that he and the people he led were only on two ships, and all kinds of materials were replenished as much as possible, and there was no need to leave any space for loading people on the return trip, so as to ensure the quantity of various materials first.

After seeing this, Li Yuliang felt more and more that he was wrong to blame the Yu family, maybe Liu Yong also misunderstood, Li Yuliang also wondered if he was looking for an opportunity to remind him

The weather in Dengzhou Mansion in April is very good, but the sailors all said that the wind is strong along the coast of Liaodong, and you must be cautious when sailing, Yu Dajiang asked if you want to leave a few days late, Liu Yong asked, the Yu family sailors and self-employed sailors said that it is not a big deal to be careful, and Liu Yong ordered to set off.

The supplies of each ship are very sufficient, Liu Yong brought a total of 70 people on board, 45 from the Zhao Ziying family, and 25 people are local warriors from Pizhou, Xuzhou, and the ships brought by the Yu family are all big ships, and it is not difficult to carry 200 people on each ship, but the Guangzhou ship is easy to control, and the sailors needed are only 20 people.

I thought that Liu Yong was going to assign these 70 people to five ships, and each ship was very full of supplies and could not delay the carrying of people, but Liu Yong only divided the people into two teams, one team of 20 people, and put them on the self-employed sea boat, and the remaining 50 people were on the ship where Yu Dajiang was
