Why marry someone when you are reborn?

Chapter 121 Canal

As soon as Xu Yun raised this question, Luo Zhan raised his eyebrows and looked over: "Buy a boat?"

He even sarcastically said, "Going out to sea to fish? What can you sell it for?"

Xu Yun said softly: "Fishing is not valuable. But transporting goods is very valuable."

Probably around summer, the imperial court would announce the start of digging a canal.

By then, the inland rivers and the open sea will be completely connected, and a shipping route will be opened.

This route starts from the North Bay and goes directly south. It will reach the southern bay in four days at most.

This route was not opened up for the purpose of transporting goods, but probably for the purpose of transporting troops.

But it can also be shipped with goods.

There are many craftsmen in the south, and the goods are exquisite, completely different from those in the north.

The price will also be more expensive.

Moreover, there is a land of fish and rice in the south.

There is silk.

Spring also comes earlier, and fruits and vegetables are available earlier.

This is the money you can earn from this route.

Moreover, Xu Yun heard that cargo ships need to be certified.

Only with the permit can you enter and leave North Bay freely. Use this route.

The imperial court would send troops to garrison the North Bay and even arrange patrol boats on the shipping routes to ensure the safety of all cargo ships.

After all, there are actually quite a lot of pirates and Japanese pirates.

If it weren’t for that bite of cucumber today, Xu Yun might not have remembered this matter.

After all, she had never even been on a boat many times, so how could she think of making money by doing so?

Luo Zhan pouted Xu Yun's plan with one sentence: "It's not like I can't afford it, why do I have to go with you?"

Xu Yun was so angry that his face almost twisted.

Finally, she held back and said, "You can afford it, but do you know how to spend money? Do you know where to buy the cheapest and best goods?"

"And do you have so much time to take care of business?" Xu Yun gritted his teeth: "And this idea was mine."

Luo Zhan snorted, not being a gentleman at all: "So what?"

Xu Yun could only stare at him.

Finally, Xu Yun got frustrated and stood up and left: "If there is anything good in the future, I will find someone else!"

Luo Zhan laughed out loud instead: "Why are you leaving? Sit down. Can I buy a boat for myself and then buy another one with you?"

Xu Yun was stunned, sat down again, and looked at Luo Zhan suspiciously: "Are you so kind?"

Could it be that he has some other intention?

Luo Zhan changed his jerkish attitude and started talking: "One for my future wife. The remaining half is for my mother."

"This way, even if I die on the battlefield one day, they will have enough money to spend."

"Moreover, in addition to an experienced ship helmsman, sailing also requires a lot of people who can work hard."

"Some soldiers who were slightly injured on the battlefield can no longer serve in the army and can only go home to farm. I can ask them if they are willing to work on the ship."

"It's better than making more money from farming."

Luo Zhan finished speaking and looked at Xu Yun: "I have to say, the advantages do outweigh the disadvantages. I am willing to be used by you."

Luo Zhan pointed out Xu Yun's thoughts so directly, Xu Yun was not embarrassed, but smiled: "General Luo is really smart."

An old fox.

Luo Zhan was not annoyed by Xu Yun's ridicule. Instead, he looked at Xu Yun and smiled.

The two of them just smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was a little mysterious for a moment.

The next step is to discuss the specific matters.

After talking for a long time, Xu Yun felt dry in the mouth, so he ate a piece of cucumber.

After finishing the whole plate of cucumbers, he was able to finish the story.

However, Xu Yun couldn't spare the time to go to Beihai Bay to check out the ships, so this matter could only be left to Luo Zhan.

She can just pay for it when the time comes.

When Xu Yun said goodbye and was about to leave, Luo Zhan suddenly asked: "How do you know that the court is opening up a new route?"

Xu Yun was shocked.

But he remained calm: "I just heard some gossip."

Luo Zhan gave an ambiguous smile: "Then you are really brave."

Xu Yun laughed: "Wealth and honor are achieved through risk. I understand this principle."

But in fact she didn't dare to stay for long and left quickly.

I was afraid that if I didn't leave, Luo Zhan would ask me something that would be difficult to answer.

On the way back, Xu Yun carefully thought about what he had said.

Only then did he find out what had happened to him that made Luo Zhan suspicious.

She warned herself in her heart that she must never be careless when facing Luo Zhan in the future!

Better to be on guard at all times!

Otherwise, this old fox will see through my true colors sooner or later!

Moreover, Luo Zhan is not the only one in the world who possesses such intelligence and sharpness.

So, she has to be careful when facing other people.

What Xu Yun didn't know was that after she left, Luo Zhan stared at the door for a long time.

The feeling of looking into a fog enveloped him once again.

He didn't understand why Xu Yun was always so confident about these things.

It was like she knew how things would turn out.

She knew that every guess she made would eventually come true.

That kind of feeling always gave him the impression that Xu Yun actually had the ability to predict the future.

Of course, this is impossible.

Luo Zhan didn't believe this absurd thing. He just thought Xu Yun was really bold.

Moreover, her thoughts are always unpredictable.

This made him a little distressed.

But he had to admit that he felt Xu Yun was very good at judging people.

If Xu Yun hadn't reminded him about Hua Niang's matter, he would have thought that Hua Niang was just doing it for profit.

The way he handles the situation afterwards is bound to have a negative impact.

Maybe, he and his brother will really drift apart from now on.

Nothing happened in the next few days, and soon the day of the announcement of the results arrived.

On this day, everyone was extremely nervous.

Xie Wanqing, in particular, was many times more nervous than Xu Yun. She kept comforting Xu Yun, saying that it didn't matter if he didn't pass the exam.

Xu Yun was able to respond at first, but later, he was just numb.

She even wanted to go back and comfort Xie Wanqing: Mother, if I don’t pass the exam, please don’t be sad and disappointed. This is normal.

However, this method obviously could not relieve Xie Wanqing's anxiety.

So, Xu Yun could only listen and cooperate over and over again.

I just hope the results will be released soon.

Gao Yu's carriage arrived soon. She was here to pick up Xu Yun to see the list.

By the way, Luo Li and the other three were also brought along.

Originally, they didn't allow Luo Li to go, but Luo Li was very insistent, so they had to take her with them.

Just don't let her get off the carriage when the time comes.

When we arrived at the place where the results were announced, it was already packed with people.

Xu Yun and the others looked on in amazement.

Fortunately, they don’t have to squeeze it themselves.

Chen Ku and Gao Yu's servants have taken a look and will come out to tell them the result when the time comes.

However, waiting at Carriage Hill is not a pleasant experience.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long before someone came out to post the list.

Chen Ku and the others had already squeezed in and were waiting. As soon as the list was posted, they would immediately go up to take a look.
