Chapter 397 397. Soul Boy

"There is a Taoist master in Qingzhou named Tu Ya. It is said that his whereabouts have been elusive for decades. It was revealed fifteen years ago that a reincarnated soul boy of an ancient god would be born in the Bai family, who would bring peace and tranquility to the Jin Dynasty. , but it was not easy to raise him, and he could not be known, so after the child was born, Bai Xiang gave it to Tu Ya and took him to Qingzhou to raise him. Fourteen years later, there was a great chaos in Shuzhou, and this Dayu The reincarnated soul boy was specially ordered by his master to save the common people and offered this method to control floods."

After he finished speaking, King Ding smiled.

"It is said that Mr. Wen is very knowledgeable. As expected, although I have never heard of this accomplished master, I do know a lot about the story of the reincarnated soul boy. Mr. Bai is so talented at such a young age. If he has such a background, it is not surprising. Surprised."

The two of them made up this identity for Qiao Shanwei by talking to each other.

With King Ding's ability, it was easy to completely erase a person's traces in Dongdu City. In addition, the Bai family also came forward to guarantee the matter, so Qiao Shanwei's return home became smooth.

Seeing that Qiao Shanwei's matter had come to light, several people brought the issue to Chi Zimo's head.

In fact, his injuries have almost recovered. After all, it is the Zhulong Pill. Even if he only has half a breath left, he can still get it back from the King of Hell.

Now he is hiding in the tent and not showing up, probably because he feels a little embarrassed to meet Prince Ding and Feng Jinyao.

But it's embarrassing to not keep meeting each other forever, especially when the Chi family plays the leading role in Qiao Shanwei's flood control strategy.

So today, Wen Zhonghe also made an appointment with Chi Zimo.

He arrived a little later than everyone else because the time He made the appointment with was already half an hour late.

There were some things that Chi Zimo couldn't say to them.

For example, what happened just now about Qiao Shan's identity.

So when Chi Zimo walked in and saw Feng Jinyao and Prince Ding there, he was stunned for a moment, but then he still saluted according to the rules.

"Chi has met the prince, Lord Wen, and Miss Third."

Feng Jinyao looked at him and suddenly remembered the warm embrace behind her that day, which was indeed a bit embarrassing.

Xiao Ting frowned at this, what he disliked the most was this kind of scene.

However, Wen Zhonghe didn't know the awkwardness between the three of them, so he spoke.

"Shuzhou suffered a great disaster, and the head of the Chi family suffered accordingly."

"Master Wen's words are serious. I am only slightly injured. I just saw Shuzhou being rebuilt in an orderly manner on the way here. I admire Master Wen's ability."

"Master Chi is polite, but if Shuzhou is to be rebuilt, I'm afraid we need Master Chi's help."

"I?"

"Although the Chi family is a giant merchant, most of its power is rooted in Jinling City and the Jiangnan area. In the southwest, I only have a small presence in the chamber of commerce, and others may not be able to get a say."

Express rejection tactfully.

Chi Zimo didn't want to get involved in this matter in Shuzhou.

The momentum here seems to be very good now, but who knows what will happen in the future.

I'm afraid His Majesty in the capital hasn't gotten the news yet. If he did, I don't know how he would react!

Wen Zhonghe and Xiao Tingyi naturally saw clearly that Chi Zimo didn't want to get involved, but now, if the Chi family didn't come in, it would be much more difficult to handle the river transportation.

So Wen Zhonghe spoke first.

"Master Chi is overly worried. The people in the Shuzhou Chamber of Commerce are all fine this time. With them in my position, I don't have to worry. However, although there are rivers in Shuzhou, most of them are narrow and inconvenient to dock. Therefore, the construction of river transportation is just a matter of time." I'm afraid I'll need the help of the Chi family master."

"Build a river transport?"

"yes!"

Instead, he presented Qiao Shanwei's plan for river transportation and the results of canal opening and river expansion.

Chi Zimo couldn't help but admire him while watching.

"Qiao Shanwei? Is he the person who has been following Fengxian Cheng?"

Xiao Tingyi nodded, which made Chi Zimo even more surprised.

He had never paid serious attention to this person, or if he hadn't mentioned it this time, he would have thought that Qiao Shanwei was just a respectable servant of the Feng family. He never expected that he had such ability.

"Where did the prince find this person? He is really talented."

"That's Ayao's cousin."

"Cousin?"

There are many kinship relationships. Anyone in a big family can have some relationship with anyone, so Chi Zimo didn't pursue his identity too much.

Chi Zimo cared more about his idea than his origin.

"The river transportation in Dajin has never been developed enough. There are only three reasons: first, the river is narrow and the water flow is fast, which is not conducive to the passage of ships. Second, there are no ships of suitable size. They are either paintings for people to enjoy, or giant ships for going to sea. , the river water is not as good as the sea water, and it is too heavy to carry. Thirdly, river transportation is not profitable. The initial investment in ships is too expensive, and things in the water are not as safe as the land route. Naturally, no one cares about it over time, and the cost is certainly high. "

After briefly explaining the situation, Xiao Tingyi saw his interest.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chi, the first point has been solved now. The second and third points, as long as Mr. Chi is willing to help, I will do my best to help."

"Yes, yes! Your Majesty is right! Let's start with our territory in Shuzhou. Ten years from now, I believe that the river transport in Jin Dynasty will be even better than the road transport!"

Wen Zhonghe was also very interested in this matter.

By then, not only will the floods be controlled, but the lives of people along the coast will also be greatly improved.

When the people are safe, the country will be prosperous. By then, not only Shuzhou will benefit, but all places with rivers in Jin Dynasty can follow suit!

"For the construction of fast boats, our Chi family can hand over the technology, but what is needed on both sides of the river cannot be solved by simply building a dam and a place to park the boats. The first problem is to cultivate a number of people who are proficient in fast boat technology. man of!"

"This is not difficult. Not far from Shuzhou, there is a village with about three hundred people. They usually drive small boats on the Luo River and Xishui River. I think they have some foundation. If they are used for training , what does the head of the Chi family think?"

"That's good."

After getting his affirmative reply, Wen Zhonghe became more and more passionate as he talked.

The main reason is that he has managed Shuzhou for many years and he knows everything here.

No matter what Chi Zimo asked for, he could get it done in the fastest and most suitable way.

In just one hour, Chi Zimo signed a document with Shuzhou.

With King Ding as a guarantee, the two parties established the so-called Chiyun Chamber of Commerce. The Shuzhou official family held 60 shares and the Chi family held 40 shares. Taking advantage of the power of water conservancy, they wanted to greatly shorten the distance between Jiangnan and the southwest.

Apart from other things, even when it comes to eating, the consumption will be reduced a lot.

Chi Zimo didn't expect that after this trip, he would win such a new business for the Chi family. If it was done well, it would be no worse than shipping!

In the future, the Chi family will also dominate the river transportation in Dajin!
