Chapter 646: Difficult Accounting
The water poured down, rolling up layers of foam.

The salamanders' smooth brown skin reflected the sunlight. They swung their tails and walked towards each other. They came to the shore and stepped on the soil, pressing out a neat circle.

The cold wind blows.

All the high-ranking officials in Pingyang Prefecture were present, including the Three Law Courts and the Demon Hunting Department.

For a long time.

A salamander turned around, slid into the water, and disappeared with a flick of its tail.

The waves gradually subsided.

Xu Yuelong didn't understand what he meant, so he took a half step back, leaned back and waved.

Liang Qu understood what he meant and moved forward.

"Where are the sea merchants? How come there are only two salamanders, but they only return one after they make a circle?"

"Well, we have to wait a while. It is customary for sea merchants to send out scouts first and then give time for everyone to arrive. This is also the case among the frog tribe. Stepping on a circle... must be some kind of sign."

"How long?"

"Half an hour?"

"Half an hour?"

Jian Zhongyi, Wei Lin, Xu Yuelong, Sui Hongyan and others all looked back.

Ke Wenbin punched Liang Qu on the back and said, "We haven't even had breakfast yet, why didn't you tell us earlier? You made us come out here and blow the cold wind for nothing?"

"forget……"

The atmosphere of alertness at the pier collapsed in an instant.

Half an hour.

It's not long, it's not long, it's not short.

The chief clerk in the Hebo Office waved his hand and asked the river officials to carry chairs out. The officials sat down one after another, drinking tea and chatting.

"Zhongshi, when will the King of Yue come?"

"I received a reply at midnight yesterday. I am currently collecting supplies and mobilizing ships. I will arrive the day after tomorrow."

"Where is Lord Su?"

"Lord Su and Lord Weng have personally rushed to the surrounding government offices to borrow treasures to ensure safety. They are expected to arrive one day later than the King of Yue."

"Not bad."

Xu Yuelong felt a little relieved.

From receiving the news to arranging the trip, five days was too tight.

Grandmaster, it is true that the Martial Saint is very fast, but the purpose of this trip is to trade, not to set up a battle between the two armies.

It’s useless to have a big scene and many talented people, the supplies must keep up.

The big families and chambers of commerce in Pingyang Prefecture will delay their stay for two days today and tomorrow, and wait until the day after tomorrow when King Yue and the day after tomorrow when Su Guishan will come. They will definitely let Master Hai return with great pleasure!

The tides come one after another.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the river officials removed the tables and chairs.

Wait another quarter of an hour.

Shadows emerged from the water, and powerful might spread.

A little discernment.

Each of them is not weaker than the master of wolf smoke, and the tiger hunting water monster is more like an ordinary one, dozens or even tens of them...

The closer the shadows came, the more frightening the number.

The officials in the venue were stern.

coming!

boom!
White waves exploded.

The giant manta ray floats on the water, its back as broad as land and big enough for a horse to run.

Crabs and water spiders inserted their legs into the mud and sand, creating islands out of thin air and dragging long lines of carriages closer.

When most of the water monsters pulled the cargo out, their round blue heads emerged from the water, like a suspended island. The eight legs of the Umibozu were immersed in the water, and the part of the upper body that was exposed to the air became lighter in color, visible to the naked eye.

Big demon!

All the high officials in the venue were very respectful, and the villagers who were looking in from a distance were frightened by what they had never seen before.

Octopus.

The officials were knowledgeable and knew that it was a sea creature that ordinary people had never seen before, so they spread the news.

The several big snakes that King Yue brought last time were scary enough, but I didn’t expect that there would be something even more ferocious today!

The Grand Master of Heaven and Earth is a monster that is so great that even if you observe him from a distance, he is still extremely spectacular, like a mountain floating in the water.

In the past, the great demon only caught a vague glimpse of a figure. How could he be so close to see the divine face?

The shouts of the onlookers continued one after another.

"My dear mother, what kind of monster is this?"

"You're a demon! You're clearly the river god!"

"The river god has come ashore!"

"Shouldn't we have a big event this winter?"

"It's bigger than the last river god's messenger." Wow!
Touch the feet and wave.

Xu Yuelong turned around.

"Umibozu?"

"Correct!"

After confirmation, Liang Qu and many officials boarded a small boat to meet Haifangzhu.

When Haifangzhu saw Liang Qu, he looked at the shore again and was quite disappointed.

There are many "monsters" in the field, but there are no "big monsters".

According to past experience, without the big monster, the cargo transaction volume would be much lower.

Come here.

No matter how small a business is, it is still a business.

Umibozu was not dissatisfied. He ordered the caravan to set up and continue to entertain the guests warmly as always.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, what can I do for you?"

The sound of nature is moving.

The villagers were shocked again.

"The river god is a woman!"

"Stupid, how can the river god be a woman? It must be the wife of the river god!"

The villagers were talking at once with all kinds of things in their minds. Fortunately, the riverside officials had separated the people ahead of time for fear of offending them. Many of their words were mixed with the river breeze and were already unclear when they were transmitted.

Hai Fangzhu came straight to the point, and Jian Zhongyi and others didn't say much.

If you want to retain maritime merchants, there is no need for small talk, and strength is the key.

Xu Yuelong waved his hand.

"Manager Zhu!"

Tianbo Chamber of Commerce took the lead and ordered its own fleet to move forward.

The springboard is set up.

The chief steward Zhu Bingcan quickly got off the boat and took a quick look at the cargo dragged out by the water beasts. He could not recognize many of the treasures and could not judge their value.

Fortunately, aquatic treasures are hard to find, and there is only one such store, so they are naturally priced at a premium. As long as you don't buy random things and only choose the hard currency of precious fish and plants to exchange, you won't lose much.

Boxes of precious minerals, precious plants, precious pills, and rare and exotic animals were carried off the ship.

Umibozu opened several wooden boxes and was surprised at the number of treasures inside.

The person in front of him was of ordinary strength, but the treasures he took out were extraordinary. Looking back, he saw quite a few similar boxes.

People can't be seen.

Realize that there are great differences between humans and demons.

Umibozu was delighted and moved his tentacles, assessing the value of each one.

As for officials such as Xu Yuelong, most of them became spectators.

no way.

They pay money and become richer than each other.

When it comes to taking out real things, each one is poorer than the other.

Who has nothing to do and wants to keep this treasure for later viewing?

Shui Yao needs a platform to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses and exchange materials, but people are not needed. The ones that have the most physical goods are still the major chambers of commerce and major families.

However, just because an individual is poor does not mean that the government is poor.

Ran Zhongshi directly sent people to open the treasure house in Hebo.

Keeping maritime merchants is a great achievement, so we should act according to the circumstances, regardless of whether there are any rules or not.

Big purchase for the government!
The crowd dispersed into the market.

"What is this?"

Octopus enthusiastically introduced: "Volcanic algae often grows on the edge of volcanoes. If you lay it in your home, it can purify water. If you don't make the cave too messy and pay more attention to it, you almost don't need to clean it. And feeding it with flint can generate heat. If there are enough flints, it can heat up to 70% or 80% of the water, not to mention boiling it."

"Change!"

Ran Zhongshi was holding the album and was stunned when he heard the words.

"What are we buying this for?"

Xu Yuelong said, "Let's have a hot spring bath built behind the government office someday, and cover the ground with this stuff. We don't need to change the water, and we can still have clean hot water for bathing. Isn't that wonderful?"

“It’s hard to do the accounting.”

"Hey, why is that bad? Our officers at the Hebo Office often go into the water, so they have a lot of moisture in their bodies. They should take more hot baths to activate their blood and qi, which is good for their cultivation. Remember this, change all the boxes in front of you!"

"..."

All day long.

Haifangzhu discovered that the small Pingyang Prefecture had amazing potential, no worse than the big monster. Moreover, whenever the trade was sluggish, a new ship would always dock in time. From what the crew said, it seemed that they were transported from other places.

"What do you think, Master?"

Liang Qu tried to find out the situation.
