Chapter 1045: Liu Yue Extra: Kill Them All
"You just personally asked the five stewards at the dock last month. As far as I know, everything is normal. What news does the gang leader have?"
Heimuzi first recalled what he knew about the situation, but when he saw Liuyue's nervousness, he also became nervous. Caobang had never been in such a predicament before and could no longer withstand the hardship.
"There's no new news. I just feel a little flustered. No, tomorrow, tomorrow I have to go to the dock to see for myself."
"Will my subordinates go with you?" Hei Muzi immediately asked Miao to go with him. Although the leader of the Cao Gang is not a high-ranking official, due to the large number of people and the complexity of the organization, the leader does not need to and cannot do everything himself.
"No need, isn't the Hu family over there arriving tomorrow? You first visit on the pretext of doing business, feel the way to the Hu family, and say that you are the second boss of the Cao Gang."
Three days have passed since the night visit to the East Palace, and there has been no progress whether it is to meet the prince or to inquire about the clients.
The Zhou family's inducement to Tian Shu is unimaginable to other families. It is impossible for the Zhou family to eat the goods of those families. What is the mystery behind this?
Liuyue was dressed in a smart outfit and sitting on a big tree by the Sui River. The sky was still hazy.
The steamy wind hit my face and moistened it.
The lights on the dock on the ship were reflected on the river, and were stirred into tiny pieces by the water.
The thin yellow threads are entangled and entangled with each other, just like Liuyue's heart now.
Those who sail at night are all wealthy merchants who can afford to hire high-quality boats and the boatmen they are equipped with are all masters, so they dare not stop at night just to save time and seize business opportunities.
It's a pity that several large merchants are no longer partners of Caogang. Liuyue silently watched a large ship with the "Zhou" flag sail into the dock, and the shore suddenly became lively.
The people in charge of unloading the goods became more active, shouting and reprimanding, and the workers' chants kept coming, making the sky bright and noisy.
Liuyue looked at the situation under the tree carefully. Even though it was the Zhou family's boat, the people in the Cao Gang on the dock still did not mess up the rules. They were still doing business and did not bring in other people's emotions.
"Boss Hu, look, we have 50% of the water transportation in the Lute River under our control. Now, the excavation of the canal in the middle reaches of the Lute River has been completed. Once it is opened, there will be no need to go around to the sea from Dazhou to Daliang. By directly connecting to the Suijiang River from the canal, the voyage and time will be greatly shortened."
Liuyue was so shocked that she almost fell off the tree. Who starts talking about business so early? And still talking in the wind on this pier?
Wait, the Cao Gang was robbed of 30% of its business by the prince and Zhou Zhiyuan, and the remaining 50% was actually controlled by others? !
"The construction of the canal is an achievement that will benefit the ages. The crown prince of your country is wise! However, once the canal is opened, all merchant ships will be able to pass through it. Why did Boss Zhou personally come to the dock to welcome Hu today?"
Boss Zhou? Hu? A thoughtful beam? Liuyue quickly grasped these key words in her mind, and understood in a flash that the Hu family of Da Zhou had arrived, and the prince's prospective uncle Zhou Zhiyuan came to the pier to greet him in person before dawn!
Right now, the Zhou family's ship is unloading, which firstly shows how good the Zhou family's business is and how many customers come early in the morning, and secondly, it also proves that they are strong enough to sail at night.
Although the Shuijiang River is not as windy and dangerous as the sea, it still has sharp bends and rapids on the reefs and shoals. Zhou Zhiyuan's move can really set up a banner for himself.
"Boss Hu doesn't know. Sooner or later, the entire canal transport in the Lianjiang River belongs to the prince. Now the canal gang is declining and its strength is about to be exhausted. As for the canal, haha, it is a project presided over by His Highness the prince. How can the water transport fall into this? Where are other people’s hands?”
The two of them had arrived at Liuyue's feet. The followers were following the master's instructions and could not hear the conversation between the two. However, who knew that word for word would reach Liuyue's ears.
The Hu family was intercepted by Zhou Zhiyuan as soon as they got off the boat. She had already lost the opportunity, but now Liuyue could no longer care about the Hu family. Zhou Zhiyuan's words made her tremble with fear. The man named Song was going to kill the Cao Gang!
