  Chapter 46 Hundred Islands Golden Sand    ……

Such a deserve a beating expression, look Wang Shouzhe twitched the corners of his mouth twice. After taking a few deep breaths, he calmed his emotions and waved his hand and said, "That's all right, you didn't do anything wrong. Sit down and talk."

Wang Lici immediately found a stool to sit down, with only a little buttocks on his hips, posing a well-behaved appearance of listening to Fourth Uncle's teachings.

"It can be seen that Old Ancestor likes you quite a bit." Wang Shouzhe said, "When you are on the boat, you can talk to Old Ancestor more often to make her happy."

So that's what happened? It's not like being trained.

Wang Lici relaxed from the tight state, and repeatedly nodded promised. He moved his hips toward the back of the stool to make corrections. He habitually took out a piece of candied fruit to suppress his shock, and then elated calmly and started eating.

Such a heartless appearance made Wang Shouzhe's eyelids jump.

As a result, he calmly took out two books from his arms and threw them to her: "This is "Longzuo All Ages Poetry Selection" and "Essays of the Recluse of Jadeite House Mountain". I bought Fourth Uncle in Donggang just now, and it is said to have literary connotations."

After a pause, he said: "In the morning, I heard you recite the famous "Heavenly Ascension", with a strong voice. Full of rhythm, it seems that you are good at literature. Simply read these two books as quickly as possible, and then memorize them to Old Ancestor. Old Ancestor likes the children who study hard, she must be her The elderly will be very happy."

"Scared?"

Wang Lici's eyes were rounded, and the candied fruit in his mouth did not chew anymore. Some babies had fat cheeks on their faces. terrified look, four, four four Fourth Uncle...... You you you, are you the devil?

"Well, Fourth Uncle is very pleased with your surprise and surprise expression." Wang Shouzhe said with Yan Yue, "Do you like it?"

Wang Lici tears rolling down his cheeks Falling, but can only endure the grievance, pull out a "happy" smile, choked up and said: "Many, many thanks Fourth Uncle, I like it so much..."

"Lici, see you crying with joy The appearance of Fourth Uncle shows that Fourth Uncle’s good intentions are not in vain.” Wang Shouzhe touched her head and apologized, “Speaking of which is Fourth Uncle. It’s not good. This trip was too rushed, so I had time to buy two copies. After Hundred Islands Garrison, I will definitely buy you a few more copies. Maybe our family will have a writer in the future."

It's full of gloom.

Fortunately, there are preserves.

The sweet taste in her mouth seems to be the only one in her gray life in the future, with gorgeous colors and the source of hope.

"That's right." Wang Shouzhe frowned again and said, "Candied snacks are okay to eat occasionally. If you eat too much, you can easily get fat. You can see that your face is round. Take it out, Fourth Uncle will take care of it for you."

bang! These    words blasted Wang Lici's head like a heavenly thunder, tears rushed out uncontrollably anymore, buckle Buckled out a bag of candied fruit.

"More than that?"

Then she took out another bag.

"hehe ~"

Then another pack.

After taking out five packs, Wang Lici held the two books and burst into tears: "No, there really is no. Fourth Uncle, it’s not early, I , I went to study..."

Then she ran away in a hurry, as if escaping from mountains of daggers and seas of flames.

Wang Shouzhe smiled after she ran away, made a pot of tea with satisfaction, and drank it, flat little girl, can Fourth Uncle not cure you?   Teaching the eldest niece is just an episode.

After Wang Shouzhe took a rest and settled down, he took out the booklet given by his future brother-in-law, Chen Fangjie, and slowly turned it over. Although Wang Clan has heard about Hundred Islands Garrison, there are relatively few related information records within the clan and the information is relatively outdated.

Donggang Chen Clan has more contact with Hundred Islands Garrison, and the intelligence is naturally detailed. This booklet records some of the forces, clans, situations, and characteristics of the objects that should not be arbitrarily provoked, etc. of Hundred Islands Garrison.

This booklet makes Wang Shouzhe more frightened. The Hundred Islands Garrison is more powerful than Changning Garrison tangled and complicated. First of all, there are dozens of large and small aristocratic families.

Those aristocratic families, some of them are relatively weak and occupy an island alone. Some are powerful, spanning several or even dozens of islands.

The main island is called Golden Sand Island. It is said that thousands of years ago this island was rich in Golden Sand, which triggered some bloody competitions among the profound warrior aristocratic family. The Great Qian government sent an expert to forcefully suppress it, and the situation stabilized after the Hundred Islands Garrison was built here. After hundreds of years, Golden Sand has been mined out, and some of the remaining profound warrior aristocratic families have segregated the Hundred Islands and gradually derived out of the current pattern.

Due to the complex and remote geographical environment of Hundred Islands Garrison, Golden Sand is gone now, and the strength control of the Great Qian government here is gradually weakening. Therefore, there are many wandering cultivators wanted for committing crimes, aristocratic family expelling children, or some pirate bandits who want to whitewash, etc., will also come to Hundred Islands Garrison to break through.

Fortunately, Donggang Chen Clan has been operating on Golden Sand Main Island in Garrison, Hundred Islands for many years. He has a wide network of connections and a solid foundation. If Chen Clan takes care of him, idlers would not dare to provoke him.

As long as it does not cause trouble, the security problem is not very big. Otherwise, Chen Fangjie is absolutely afraid to let Wang Shouzhe go to Hundred Islands Garrison. If there is a major event, how can Chen Fangjie be pleased?

However, the chaos of Hundred Islands Garrison has turned into chaos, but it has also spawned some characteristic industries that are not available elsewhere.

For example, the black market!

The Golden Sand black market is the only Celestial clan industry in Hundred Islands Garrison, with a history of two hundred years. In the black market, all identities can be disguised and hidden. As long as you have money, you can buy what you want in the most secret way, or you can secretly sell your things, even some contraband, or It's swag!

The black market does not care who you are, let alone where your money and things come from. They are only responsible for maintaining order, credibility and commission.

Order and credibility are fundamental to the survival of a black market.

Because people who go to the black market are often very sensitive to the exposure of their identity, if there is any disturbance, they will be discouraged. It can be seen that the Golden Sand black market can stand for two hundred years, and the scale of development is getting larger and larger, it must be extremely focused on credibility and order.

As soon as I saw the news of this black market.

Wang Shouzhe had a vague guess that Old Ancestor Longyan should have come to the black market, and the reason for her trip, based on Wang Shouzhe's wisdom, probably guessed it.

Immediately, his brows frowned, he didn't want to see this kind of thing. After getting off the ship, I need to talk to Old Ancestor Longyan. There are some things that there is no need to do that.

But she is Old Ancestor after all. Once she is determined to do something, she may have been thinking about it for a long time. How can she persuade her?

Wang Shouzhe's face became more and more solemn, as he tapped his fingers on the table and thought quickly.

Time, little by little.

More than twenty hours passed in a flash, and the huge sea boat docked in the deep water port of Hundred Islands Garrison Golden Sand Island.

Wang Shouzhe entire group walked out of 【The Junyao】 and smelled a strong sea flavor. In other words, this [The Junyao] sea merchant ship is really safe in the sea, An'an is full, and it arrived at Hundred Islands Garrison without any surprises and dangers.

At this time, Chen Clan clansman Chen Fanghua greeted him, respectfully cups the hands and said: "Young Master Wang, according to Young Patriarch's orders before leaving, I will arrange accommodation and guide for your entire group. "

Wang Shouzhe smiled in his heart. It is estimated that his future brother-in-law is afraid that he may be in danger from trespassing on the island, so he specially arranged clansman to arrange his accommodation and itinerary.

"So, Brother Chen will come." Wang Shouzhe is not familiar with the Golden Sand Island where he was born. It is best if someone arranges it. Moreover, Chen Fangjie's future brother-in-law's intentions are still acceptable.

Chen Fanghua knew that "Young Master Wang" had a female family, so he specially arranged a carriage to come over. Old Ancestor Longyan, the fourth aunt and the big girl all got on the carriage. Wang Shouzhe and Wang Zhong Wang Yong two Family Guard were temporarily assigned three steeds.

Afterwards, Chen Fanghua took a Family Guard and led Wang Shouzhe and his party to the inner city of Golden Sand Island.

While walking, Chen Fanghua also chatted with Wang Shouzhe about the customs of Golden Sand Island. For example, this Golden Sand island is the largest island in the Hundred Islands Garrison, but because of the rocks in the land and the rest There are many impurities, and very few good farmland can be developed.

"So, half of our ship's cargo is food crops, all kinds of meat and poultry, and some household utensils. These ordinary items are not profitable in Hundred Islands Garrison." Chen Fanghua does not shy away from these business knowledge as everyone knows, and obviously wants to get closer to Wang Shouzhe.

"The Great Qian Law stipulates that food must not be speculated?" Wang Shouzhe asked slightly strangely.

"Young Master Wang, Great Qian Law is not very binding in Hundred Islands Garrison." Chen Fanghua said with a smile, "Besides, we are not speculating on food, but exchanging goods. Hundred Islands Although Garrison produces a small amount of food, it is rich in various kinds of seafood and oyster ash. If it is shipped to the inland, it can still make a profit."

Wang Shouzhe also knows that in this era, shipping must be a part of it. The profit is high, but it is also very difficult and risky. Building a sea merchant ship is not only expensive, but also requires deep expertise.

In addition, it is also very difficult to train seafarers and professional sailors. Even a little carelessly, if a sea-going ship crashes, it will be a loss for nothing.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for clan to cross the border into the maritime business field. It is no wonder that Donggang Chen Clan has grown stronger and stronger in just a hundred years.
