Chapter 68 Shipment
At around 5:30 in the afternoon, Jack Twain came to the lobby of the inn respectfully, intending to invite Qu Mao to go to the seafood stall for a drink.
However, merchants have successively sent the goods purchased by Qu Mao the day before to Pier No. 3, and they are waiting for Qu Mao to arrange sailors to receive the goods, settle the final payment and ship them at the same time.
Qu Mao pulled Jack Twain and whispered to Jack Twain: "Commander Jack, I know that you and Qu Sheng have a good relationship, but the goods have already arrived, and my lord has to look at my goods. Qu Sheng is delicious."
Avoiding everyone's sight, Qu Mao quietly stuffed the bag of gold coins that Sunan gave him yesterday into Jack Twain's hands, and Qu Mao would replenish the 10 gold coins in it every time he ran out.
Continuing to lower his voice, Qu Mao said again: "Commander Jack, you are not an outsider. To be honest, Qu Sheng is my concubine's eldest brother. This business trip is also one of the three-year assessment contents given to me by the family...you understand!"
Jack Twain stuffed the bag of gold coins into his belt calmly, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the family succession of your nobles is very complicated, and it is always a test of the heir.
Please rest assured, next time you come to Yancheng, I will not discuss the affairs of Yancheng, but you will directly find all the affairs of Yancheng Port. "
Send all four first-rank sailors to Sunan, and let Sunan take them to drink, while Qu Mao himself came to Pier No. 3.
Merchants gathered around one after another, and someone said: "My lord, I see that you don't bring many sailors with you this time, and the quantity you purchased is large. Anyway, the villain has brought delivery people, so I will move them directly to the ship for you. Just let the safety sailor indicate where the cargo should be placed."
Before Qu Mao had time to be polite, other merchants also shouted: "My lord, we can also deliver the goods to the ship, don't worry!"
Hearing this, Qu Mao vaguely guessed that the buyer should ship the goods by himself, and these merchants are showing their favor.
Qu Mao waved his hand to stop the noise from the merchants, and said: "The servants I purchased are not yet in place, so I can only help you to help me move them onto the ship, and put them in the position instructed by the sailors. I will pay you the moving fee."
Merchants all said that there was no need for transportation fees, thinking that Qu Mao himself was very generous, and it was inappropriate to pay additional transportation fees.
A merchant who sold production tools to Qu Mao came over, handed Qu Mao a small card, and said, "My lord, you can leave it to us to do the loading and loading on the ship, how can we make you spend extra money?
It’s just that your purchase mode yesterday was good. If the adult trusts the villain, next time you come back, you can still entrust the villain to do this kind of purchasing.
This is the shop address and name of the villain. "
Qu Mao glanced at the small card and thought to himself: "Damn it! What era is this Continent of Hegemony in? There are even small cards like business cards."
Seeing this, other merchants also stepped forward and handed Qu Mao their small cards.
Putting away all the small cards, Qu Mao said: "Thank you for your help, next time my lord comes to Yancheng, I will definitely look for you as soon as possible."
Haiyan has always been government-run in Yancheng. After Qu Mao placed an order at the Yancheng government-run sea salt sales point yesterday, the official delivered the sea salt before four o'clock and notified the dock workers to help Qu Mao move onto the sea ship. Now only The employee at the next point of sale waited to check out with Qu Mao.
The man got a tip, and his mood, which was a little uncomfortable because of waiting, became a lot happier in an instant. He said repeatedly: "It is said that the merchants from the Mughal Empire were generous, but you are the most generous person I have ever seen, my lord.
Master, remember to contact me next time you come to Yancheng, I will provide you with the best service wholeheartedly. "
Send off the people at the government-run sea salt sales point, Qu Mao turned around and found a merchant winking at him, remembering Sunan's explanation, Qu Mao still went up suspiciously.
The businessman said: "My lord, the sailors and guards on your ship are seriously insufficient."
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "Yes. That's why I need to purchase some servants this time, but this matter was purchased by my adjutant, and it is not in place yet."
The businessman winked and said: "Sir, I happen to have a batch of very good goods here, a total of 250, all of them are powerful..."
In an instant, Qu Mao understood that the connector Sunan mentioned had arrived, so he said, "Take it out and have a look, the price is negotiable."
"My lord, please wait a moment. I'll be there in half an hour."
Half an hour later, 250 people walked along the stone pier trestle towards Qu Mao's five seagoing ships.
Although this group of people deliberately walked in a mess, Qu Mao could tell at a glance that this was the 250 elite third-tier princess guards he wanted to pick up.
Because these people are all between 20 and 30 years old, their height is about 1.85 meters, and the plus or minus will never exceed 3 centimeters. I saw that the surrounding businesses are still busy, and there are still There were a few coastal defense soldiers, so Qu Mao asked, "What's the price?"
The man also glanced at the coastal defense soldiers, and said: "Master, these are better goods.
After a little training, you can become a sailor on your ship when you return, so the price is not cheap, a total of 250 gold, but you are so generous, the villain will give you a 20% discount, a total of 200 gold will be fine. "
Qu Mao said: "Wait a minute, I'll get it for you on the boat."
After boarding the boat, Qu Mao took out the 200 gold from his backpack, put it into an empty gold coin bag, and brought the heavy gold coin bag to the merchant, and handed the gold coin bag to the merchant.
Taking advantage of the coastal defense soldiers not paying attention, the businessman stuffed the bag of gold coins back into Qu Mao's hand, laughed loudly and said, "My lord, happy cooperation! I hope we can cooperate again when you come to Yancheng to purchase next time." After finishing speaking, the man raised his head and go.
Qu Mao was stunned for less than a second, then threw the gold coin bag into the backpack, and the others didn't see anything.
In fact, starting in the afternoon, some skilled workers came to Pier No. 3 with their families and began to board the ship.
These were all arranged in advance by Sunan, including the slave traders, so Qu Mao didn't need to make any arrangements at all. The sailors and sailors made proper arrangements for these families of skilled workers.
I have to wait here all day tomorrow, and I can return early the next morning.
The skilled workers are in stark contrast to the third-tier princess guards. Almost all the third-tier princess guards board the ship alone, while the skilled workers bring their own luggage, let alone their families. , There are even a very small number of families who even bring iron pots for cooking.
