Chapter 954: Knocking
Anyway, Wu Tiju has no evidence.
Are you saying that humans can command Yin Fei? Hey, what a joke. Why did Wu Tiju dare to say that He Lingchuan, a wealthy foreigner, could do something that no one had been able to do in the past thousands of years?
"It changes with the times, hehe, that's a good point." Wu Ti tried to hold back his anger and simply changed the question, "Does your master have any way to force away the scorpion and keep the ship safe?"
"The He family's fleet frequently travels through the islands and has never been attacked by scorpions. It's not just luck." Ding Zuodong smiled, "My master said that he is willing to give this method to good neighbors so that we can live in harmony and make money together in the future."
Since it is called "good neighborliness", the relationship must be good.
How can a relationship be good? Cooperate.
If Wu Tiju is making things difficult for Yangshan Islands like he is doing now, then there is no way he can keep his own ships safe.
Thinking of the three good ships that had been scuttled, Wu Ti's heart felt like a knife, but he still had to cough slightly: "Zhao Qianshi, you can take Steward Ding on another trip. They have made serious rectifications many times, and they are quite good. Show your sincerity and hope that everyone will be happy with the results of this test.”
"Yes." Zhao Qianshi immediately understood the meaning of "everyone is happy".
Ding Zuodong went further: "Master Wu, we plan to open several shops in Blade Port to sell many specialties of the Yangshan Islands. On the day of opening, we also invite you to visit us."
Visiting? Someone named He still wants to invite him to the platform? Wu Tiju couldn't help but let out a long breath, and then said: "Okay, I will definitely go and take a look when I have time."
Ding Zuodong smiled and bowed before leaving with Zhao Qianshi.
When their footsteps disappeared outside the corridor, Wu Tiju punched the table: "This is too much!"
His ship was sunk by these people, so he still had to open the door for them?
When someone named He opened a store, he was asked to support it?
It's tolerable, but it's intolerable!
Wu Tiju subconsciously wanted to smash something, but then he remembered that his favorite cup had been smashed just now.
After half an hour, Zhao Qianshi came back and reported:
"Permits have been issued, including permits for all stores in Yangshan Islands in Blade Port."
Wu Tiju glared at him: "What's the most important thing?"
Most critical? Zhao Qianshi was startled and then said: "Ding Zuodong said that the shop has been renovated a long time ago and will be opened soon. Please..."
Wu Tiju smacked the table and got angry: "Who cares when he opens his business? The evil villain won't attack my ship again, right?"
Zhao Qianshi was excited: "Yes, yes, I asked! Ding Zuodong said that Yin Hui is unreasonable, but the He family fleet has found a safe route. As long as it sails on this route, the ships passing by will not be attacked by Yin Hui. "
"Route?" Wu Tiju's heart moved.
Zhao Qianshi dipped his hand in the water and drew a sketch on the table. When Wu Tiju took a look, he couldn't help but press his temples, and he was so angry that he laughed out loud:
"Don't they all pass through the Yangshan Islands?!"
This so-called route is almost adjacent to several newly developed islands in the Yangshan Islands!
All ships coming and going must pass by his supply depot and his island, so why don’t they just send people off to his island?
Isn’t it traffic when merchants, merchants and sailors travel, eat, stay and travel?
The person named He is better at planning than him!
Zhao Qianshi asked in a low voice: "Can we take this route?"
"Let's go!" Wu Tiju squeezed out the word through his teeth, "Switch all the routes in and out of the port to this route!"
Anyway, it was He Lingchuan who had the final say whether Yin Hui would attack or not. If he wanted to keep the ship safe, he had to follow the route prescribed by He Lingchuan. Even if the man surnamed He said that someone must stand on the bow of the ship and dance hula to show Yin Hui, Wu Tiju could only do it.
Besides, this new route is not a long detour, but he is unwilling to do so.
The news that the Wu family's cargo ship changed its route to avoid the evil spirits will soon spread throughout the Blade Port through the talkative boatmen and sailors. Wu Tiju knew that the news could not be kept secret.
The Wu family's ship has set an example, and other passenger and cargo ships will soon follow suit.
After all, who doesn’t want to eliminate the hidden danger of the scorpion destroying ships and hurting people?
Hey, the guy named He is making a lot of money this time. Wu Tiju could imagine that the shipping route in front of the Yangshan Islands would soon have a steady flow of passengers and goods.
Because of the existence of pirates and scorpions, large ships on the main route were not willing to dock at the Yangshan Islands unless there was strong wind and fog; usually, local small and medium-sized ships occasionally docked at the islands for supplies, but Renee's small station was always dissatisfied.
This was wonderful. Wu Tiju personally used his big ship to advertise the Yangshan Islands. The key was that he provoked the dispute first, and he lost both emotionally and rationally.
Lost to someone else's combo.
Wu Tiju took a memorial and a letter from the table and handed them to Zhao Qianshi. The letter had been sealed with red clay.
My hands are shaking a little, from anger.
Zhao Qianshi took a look and saw that the last two strokes of writing on the envelope were still wet.
"The memorial and the seal are submitted to the royal court together. There are evil neighbors in Blade Port, and they are suspected of controlling evil spirits to attack passing merchant ships. This matter must be reported; in addition, this letter must be sent to Concubine Yu."
Coincidentally, the "Qingyu" that was scuttled by the evil devil was actually given to Wu Tiju by Concubine Yu. The tributes such as spices, sweet tea, and fragrant dew carried on the ship were originally going to be sent to the palace after landing. Among them were some of his filial piety to Concubine Yu, but now they were all in vain.
Wu Tiju must of course report this loss to Concubine Yu.
But at this moment, the clerk from the Shipping Department ran in again, panting and shouting:
"My lord, my lord! Good news from Min Tian of the Yangshan Islands. Three sunken ships, including the Baoji, were found in the inner bay of the West Gorge. They were all stranded on the beach. They may have been carried there by the ocean currents."
His ship! Wu Tiju stood up suddenly: "Found it? Is the damage serious?"
The three ships were attacked near the West Fjord and were hit by the undercurrent to the nearest inner bay, which seemed reasonable. But Wu Tiju immediately understood who was responsible.
As soon as he issued the license, Min Tianxi came to report, and the nodes were very accurate.
"Someone has rushed to check it."
Three hours later.
Just when Wu Tiju was waiting anxiously, the shipwright of the Shibosi returned from Baitun Bay and reported the loss.
There were several holes in the hull and it needed to be repaired.
The good news is that there is no structural damage to the hull, and it will not affect its use after repair;
The bad news is that it will take a lot of time to repair it, and these three ships will not be able to catch up with this year's autumn harvest season.
Hearing this, although Wu Tiju had expected it, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart was finally put down.
The ship was found and it can be used after repair. Obviously, this was the positive feedback given to him by the other party after he gave up making things difficult for the Shan Islands.
As for the cargo on the ship, it was basically gone. The shipwright only found a few scattered cargoes, such as a few sets of gouache and a dozen bottles of perfume gel. The seals were well done and no water got in.
Since the ship had sunk, what was so strange about most of the cargo being gone? What strange things hadn't happened on the seabed?
