Chapter 397 VIP
Hu Shang's avatar smiled brightly, and Li Ang was not worried at all that the other party would check it out.
First of all, the Hu merchant in the Western Regions named An Xuehai did exist, he was indeed the representative of the Changan Qinhe Company, and he did have a private seal of gold. They had approached Li Ang before and asked to buy allicin and other medicines for export in the Western Regions. Right, so Li Ang knows this information.
Secondly, the real An Xuehai has now left Chang'an and led the Hu people's caravan back to the Western Regions.
Treasurer Lu is only the manager of Liuguang Bank in Suzhou City, and he is not qualified to use high-level alienated objects like worms to ask Chang'an from a distance.
What's more, the matter is not urgent or difficult, he will only send a letter to Chang'an, in which he briefly explains that An Xuehai, a merchant from the Western Regions, came to Suzhou to find him for work.
The letter transmission on the road, the time between coming and going is enough time for Mosi's avatar to board the Shanghai Charm, and find Su Xinghuo to obtain information about Mosi's origin.
Wait until shopkeeper Lu, or people from the Changan Chamber of Commerce find out that something is wrong,
Mosi's avatar has long since disappeared without a trace, and there is a high probability that the matter will not be resolved. No one would suspect Li Ang.
"This cabin has not been booked yet, I can help shopkeeper An make a reservation first."
Under the influence of money, shopkeeper Lu fully agreed to let the servant make a pot of good tea to entertain Hu Shang An Xuehai.
A moment later, the servants of his family trotted over with a blue boat ticket.
"Sea Charm, first-class area, Room 13."
Shopkeeper Lu said with a smile: "This VIP ticket can be used by three passengers. Shopkeeper An can bring two servants on board."
"Thank you. But I don't like being too crowded. One servant on the ship is enough."
Mosi's avatar showed a look of surprise, and said a few words of courtesy to the other party before leaving the mansion.
Getting the boat ticket is only the first step, and you have to do a full set of acting.
Li Ang asked Mosi's avatars to rent a small yard at the mansion next to the port, and then went to buy a change of clothes and daily necessities for the ship.
When "An Xuehai" sails out to sea, his "Hu man servants" will stay in the small yard, live a normal life, and wait for An Xuehai to come back.
In the evening, the warm wind is warm, and the setting sun blends with the water surface, sparkling.
Hu Shang An Xuehai, transformed into Mosi, boarded the deck of the Sea Charm with his servant Hua Sen.
Tomorrow, the Sea Charm will sail to sea. There are some luxuriously dressed passengers scattered on the deck in twos and threes. They are holding wine glasses, leaning on the railing, talking about poetry, revealing or showing off their family background, wealth and background.
Li Ang stood on the deck, carefully observing the sailing ship.
The Sea Charm was built by the Holy Empress to show off the power of Yu State. The keel and mast on the ship are all made of the strongest old mountain wood. Nine masts can hang twelve sails. When all are raised, the shadows cast can block the sun.
On the railings on the edge of the ship's deck, some traces of the repeated ballistas that were once parked can be vaguely seen—now in order to receive passengers, the number of repeated ballistas has been greatly reduced, and they have all been moved to the middle cabin.
"Guests, please follow me."
Maybe because Li Ang bought the highest-level VIP ticket, a crew member who claimed to be a VIP receptionist approached and led An Xuehai to the reserved cabin, constantly introducing information about the Sea Charm along the way.
For example, this ship has swimming pools and baths, chefs from different countries who are proficient in major cuisines, performances by well-known theater troupes and actors, gambling houses, and auction houses.
The life of luxury and enjoyment is no different from that on land, even worse—passengers can personally control the repeating ballista and catch large fish under the supervision of the monks on board.
Li Ang controlled Mosi's clone to nod constantly. He had no interest in the luxurious life on the Sea Charm, and he had heard it from his fellow students once in a while—those rich and powerful children also talked about being able to board the Sea Charm and go out to sea.
An Xuehai stopped suddenly, pointed to the glass hanging lamps on the wall of the corridor and asked.
"Yes."
The receptionist didn't expect An Xuehai to ask this question, and replied truthfully: "This is the latest creation of Yu Guoxue Palace.
In the past, when sailing at sea, all of them used kerosene lamps. But no matter how much spices are added to the kerosene lamp, there is still a faint unpleasant smell.
And if fluorescent stone is used as cabin lighting, it will look too gloomy.
Rune lamps can be regarded as solving all problems, except that they are expensive—each rune lamp is expensive, and must be connected to the aura machine in the lower cabin through a copper cable buried in the wooden wall.
The Sea Charm has been busy with these things during the first half month of its stay at Suzhou Port.
Alright, your room has arrived. "
The receptionist stopped in front of a thick wooden door, untied a large bunch of heavy keys hanging on a disc from his waist, took out a double-sided serrated copper key from inside, inserted it into the door lock, and pushed open the wooden door.
I saw that the cabin was extraordinarily spacious, with two large beds laid out, and the floor was covered with Western-style wool woven carpets.
Dressing table, wardrobe, shoe cabinet are all available, and there is even a refrigerator with a built-in sweetener.
“All furniture, including beds, stools, is nailed to the wooden floor. Prevents slipping when the boat rocks.
The sea-facing circular window on the right side of the room can be opened upwards to enjoy the sea view.
The rune lamp on the left wall of the room can be turned on or off by a switch.
If you think the sea breeze is too strong, you can inform us and buy a breeze talisman. In this way, even at night, the air will not feel dull.”
The receptionist introduced incessantly that the interior of the Sea Charm is roughly divided into four floors.
A and other areas live in the rich, powerful, and descendants of aristocratic families.
Areas such as B are rich and bureaucrats.
C and other areas live in ordinary wealthy businessmen, and ordinary families who grit their teeth and spend extravagance.
D and other areas are the residences of the crew.
With the status of An Xuehai, he can undoubtedly be classified as a wealthy person, and it is normal for him to be warmly treated by the crew.
But Su Xinghuo is obviously not some rich and powerful person, otherwise he would not be so proud of getting a medical qualification certificate.
There are other reasons why he can live in the first-class area.
"How many times do I need to say it again? I am cursed! I will die as soon as I step on the land! I will not go back to Zhou Kingdom with you! Ranks? Can titles matter?"
The roar of anger was deafening and sounded like it was coming from the next room next door.
During the period, there were also Su Xinghuo's voices of obstruction and persuasion.
An Xuehai raised his eyebrows in surprise, and looked at the receptionist.
The other party smiled wryly, went to close the door first, and then explained in a low voice: "That is the distinguished guest of Zhou Guo who lives in Room 9,
Guest You may have heard his name.
Xia Yuanjia. "
