Chapter 650: You’ve got your title deducted!

Chapter 650 You guys took kickbacks!

Umibozu stirred the water and then passed the steps.

Wei Lin no longer refused.

Ten times the trade.

A delicate number that is acceptable to both parties.

"Wei Ti led a huge amount!"

"Xu Tiling is so generous!"

"For Pingyang and Dashun, create greater glory!"

Sui Hongyan made a ring between her thumb and index finger, put them in her mouth, blew a loud and sharp whistle, and clapped vigorously.

Wei Lin raised his head and looked.

The applause gradually died down.

Commander Zuo Heng pinched Sui Hongyan's shoulder and laughed.

Twenty times.

It’s my fault.

If the Duke of Liang does not make an effort, Wei Lin will definitely not be able to take it down on his own.

"Zhongshi, I leave it to you! Don't forget to build the bathhouse and have it completed before the New Year!"

Xu Yuelong took a picture of the badge.

"Where are you going?"

"The wind is so tight!"

Xu Yuelong entrusted the important task and handed over all matters to his deputy Ran Zhongshi. He carried his fishing rod and bait on his back and hurriedly boarded a boat for a long journey.

I won’t go ashore until my fish basket is full!

Liang Qu glanced at Wei Lin out of the corner of his eye, his face showing no emotion, his eyes just fixed on the boat that was going further and further away.

"Never mind him, just get to work."

Ran Zhongshi was used to it. He patted Liang Qu on the shoulder, licked the ink with his pen, and registered it into the warehouse.

I'm not worried about being mad at others.

The chief and deputy chief leaders have always been targeting each other, unless someone is blind enough to approach them.

The farce is over.

Umibozu was in high spirits.

The next day.

After five days of waiting and five days of trading, time passed quickly and it was the end of December.

The early morning was particularly cold, and the water tank in the courtyard was covered with ice three inches thick. The river official was carrying a treasure chest as he passed by the inner courtyard. He raised his hand to break the ice, and several blue guppies floated in the water to breathe.

Pier.

All the ships dispatched by King Yue, Su Guishan and Weng Lijun were drained.

Haifangzhu counted the harvest, wrapped his translucent tentacles around Liangqu, and rubbed his face affectionately, his joy beyond words.

It's cool, smooth, and has a jelly-like soft touch.

half an hour.

While no one is paying attention.

Haifangzhu wrapped around Liangqu and dived into the water. He used his tentacles to take out something from the "carriage" on the crab's back and stuffed it into Liangqu's hand.

"Master, this is..."

Liang Qu held the tube in his hand, which was filled with fist-sized fish eggs.

"Diamond squid eggs. I kept some for myself to eat, and I gave the remaining half tube to Xiaoshui. Thank you for introducing it to me."

The tentacle patted his head.

Hey!
Umibozu is really good.

Generous and enthusiastic.

There are kickbacks to be taken!

"Thank you, Master!"

Liang Qu hugged the squid eggs and was quite surprised.

A complete tube of squid eggs is more than three meters long, but in front of us it was only more than two meters, less than ten meters, so it was indeed the leftovers.

But there are at least two or three thousand fish eggs in the small half tube in front of me. One squid egg contains twenty or thirty pieces of essence, which cannot be underestimated when added together.

If you don’t take it, you won’t get it.

Return to shore.

Xiang Fangsu and Ke Wenbin surrounded them, looking at them with questioning eyes.

"Did you take kickbacks?"

"Kickbacks? What kickbacks?" Liang Qu denied it flatly. "We are all colleagues. Don't slander me. I am innocent. How can I take kickbacks?"

"I didn't take any kickbacks, why are you blushing?"

"Radiant!"

"Don't lie! I clearly saw Haifangzhu stuff something into your mouth! It's not small!" Ke Wenbin gestured with his hands, "It's short and thick, like a tube. Whoever sees it gets a share. Whoever sees it gets a share! Where did you hide it?"

"You're just lazy and don't work? You stare at me all day long? You're a homosexual, right?"

"Get lost! I have my eyes and ears open! No kickbacks will escape my eyes!"

"Definitely!"

Liang Qu went back into the water and pulled out a bunch of squid eggs that had not yet been warmed up, about a hundred of them.

Without hesitation, everyone reached out to grab it, squeezed it, shook it, and swung it. The unformed little squid swayed back and forth. Sniff.

"What is this? It smells weird."

“Like fish eggs.”

"This is the egg of the diamond squid. It is a delicacy in the entire ocean..."

歘!
A figure flashed by and a breeze blew across my face.

"Master Su!"

Everyone was stunned.

Su Guishan looked down: "Where did the fish eggs come from?"

"Umibozu sent it to me to thank me for my recommendation."

"Isn't it gone?"

"The last half tube was kept by Umibozu for himself."

Liang Qu looked pleased.

Small half pipe?
Su Guishan's eyes were meaningful.

……

"See you next year."

“See you next year!”

Umibozu stretched out his tentacles and waved them gently.

Pfft!
The salamander crawled, dragging the heavy and abundant "carriage" back into the water; the giant manta ray turned over, splashed water, and dived underwater.

The long merchant caravan traveled back into the distance and disappeared.

The porpoises in the river were delighted and sprayed water to celebrate.

The villagers were still not satisfied.

A sight I have never seen in my life.

After a few days, I have accumulated a lot of topics to talk about, enough to tell my grandchildren about in the future.

"Get to work! Get everything sorted out before dark! Things belonging to the King of Yue belong to the King of Yue, and things belonging to other prefectures belong to other prefectures. Don't get them mixed up!"

"There are precious fish, so collect them first!"

Ran Zhongshi clapped his hands.

The hustle and bustle subsided for a while, but the chief clerk and clerks of the Hebo Office had no rest as they had to count the new supplies that had been exchanged.

I bought so many things that I haven't had time to organize and record many of them in the exchange book.

In particular, many precious fish, precious plants and minerals belong to the deep sea and have never been seen before.

Fortunately, the buyer doesn't know it, but the seller does. When doing business, there is no need to be confused. Just ask when exchanging it, write it down, and label them one by one.

evening.

The sunset is orange and red, and people’s shadows are intertwined.

Chen Zhaoan, a village elder from Yixing Town, led people to find Liangqu.

"Mr. Chen? What's the matter?"

Liang Qu put down the work in his hands.

"Sir Liang, it's not a big deal. I just want to ask, should we hold a river god sacrifice this winter?" Chen Zhaoan said.

In the past, if a big monster appeared, we would definitely have to deal with it.

But Yixing Town is no longer the remote little town it once was.

The best way to break through ignorance is undoubtedly to broaden one's horizons. Teaching alone may not work; people must see with their own eyes, and see more.

It is only a dozen miles away from Pingyang City, and even closer to the riverside, only a few steps away. Merchants coming from the south and the north, and martial artists with extraordinary skills are endless.

Today, holding river god festivals seems to be an excuse for liveliness rather than just a way to show respect to the river god.

So Chen Zhaoan came here to ask this question.

"Do it! Why not?" Liang Qu thought without hesitation, "Can it be completed before Xiaohan?"

The higher the favor.

The stronger the water control ability.

The white ape and the dragon have already torn their relations apart, so there is no reason not to do anything.

"In five days it will be the Minor Cold. Time is too tight. I'm afraid it won't be as lively and exciting as in summer."

Chen Zhaoan estimated.

"It's okay, let's just do it."

The end of January is the New Year's Day.

Calculate the distance.

Liang Qu estimated that he would receive an order to rush to the imperial capital around the middle of the month, as he would be too late to attend the river god sacrifice.

Chen Zhaoan had no objection.

"I wonder what Lord Liang wants this year?"

Give it a little thought.

"Kill two more big fat pigs. We've been busy all year, so we should save some oil for the New Year. Also, set up a hot porridge stall with two jars of pickles. It's cold this year, so I don't want to see people freezing to death or starving to death in this town.

Old Chen would find time to book three large bathhouses for three days. Whenever he came across one from our town, he would let the people in to take a hot bath and get rid of the bad luck of the year.

Remember to ask the shopkeeper to boil the water hot enough and change the water frequently to avoid catching a cold after taking a shower.

Oh, yes, Mr. Chen, please do me a favor. Not counting those who moved away later, please register all the natives of Yixing City between the ages of fourteen, fifteen and twenty and give them to me. Circle those with good personalities and who are willing to endure hardships with a cinnabar pen.”
