Chapter 361 Quanzhou

Considering that the pirate ship he seized had mostly entered the sight of various parts of the Ryukyu Islands, and even the cities on the coastline of the Tang Dynasty, Li Anran, who was not in a hurry to go to Japan, first asked Xiangyun to prepare the goods, and then went to Quanzhou.

Although Quanzhou during the Tang Dynasty had not yet become the cultural capital of East Asia, it was already the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road. It is precisely because of this that the shipping business in Quanzhou was quite prosperous, not only in China but also in foreign countries.

After using his wing suit to set up his position in advance, Li Anran directly took Su Xiaomei, dressed as a man and a book boy, and the strongest Kunlun slave in his hand, and teleported over a four-wheeled carriage that had been modified but did not look conspicuous on the outside.

After the carriage appeared on a mountain road in the suburbs of Quanzhou City, in the "driving" of Kunlun slaves who were almost two meters high and extremely healthy, two horses with half-blind eyes were then moved their hooves and walked towards the direction of the city.

The reason why we have to use cloth to half-blind the horse's eyes is to reduce the temptation of the horse from the plump grass on the roadside, and to let the horse go straight. In this way, the driver only needs to use the reins to control the left and right and speed.

At the same time, after the eyes are half-blind, the horse may be frightened due to an emergency, thus avoiding any danger. However, there is a problem with this, that is, the horse cannot see the road clearly and can only rely on the coachman to control it.

If the driver's driving skills are not up to standard, if one is not good, the car will easily be driven into the ditch. Fortunately, the Kunlun slave brought out by Li Anran this time is just tall and strong enough. He is even more skilled in driving, so naturally there is no need to worry.

The two special horses used to pull the cart were directly obtained from modern time and space. Whether it is in size or foot strength, they are much stronger than ordinary horses. Even if you drag a carriage that is larger than an ordinary carriage, it is not difficult to do anything at all.

Although these two horses are just horses, their foot strength is good after being affected by time and space. If Li Anran had not asked to walk slowly and enjoy the scenery of Quanzhou, he would have to run away faster than a war horse.

As for the sweat-blooded BMW that was frightened and subjugated, Li Anran was recuperating for a few days to relieve the sequelae of fright. Then he sent it to modern time and space. He asked someone to make up for a procedure and sent it to Xiaoyao Ranch for a special person to train.

When I recalled the cowboys on the ranch and the experts who were responsible for taking care of the two pureblood horses, Li Anran, who was sitting in the carriage carriage and enjoying the massage of Su Xiaomei, a young book boy disguised as a man, couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Young Master, what fun thing happened? Tell me. Isn't it right? Should I make Shi Jian happy?" Su Xiaomei, who was massaged by her young master's legs with just the right force, said with a clever smile.

If Honda Kosalo was present at this time, it would be difficult to connect the handsome little book boy in front of him with bright eyes and white teeth with the female assassin who killed people without blinking and sent all the pirates in the cabin of the pirate ship to hell alone.

"What a fun thing? That's right? Didn't I give me a sweaty and bloody BMW last time I got home? I gave it to someone else for training and made a joke." Li Anran, who leaned against the cushion, squinted her eyes comfortably, and said with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Before Su Xiaomei could ask what the joke was, she felt that the carriage that was moving forward suddenly slowed down, and then a Kunlun slave voice with an exotic accent came: "Young Master, Quanzhou City is coming soon."

"Oh? It's here." Li Anran opened her eyes and opened the curtains on the side wall of the carriage to look at it. Sure enough, the towering city wall was already vivid in my mind. He immediately ordered: "Then let's go to the city first, and find a place to ask where there are ship sellers."

"Yes, young master." After Kunlun Nu responded, he controlled the carriage and rushed towards the Quanzhou City Gate.

Unlike other places, Quanzhou, which was near the sea, did not reach the prosperity of "the sound of the sea rises and the sound of merchants" in the Song and Yuan dynasties, and became the largest trading port in the country, but with the popularity of sea transportation, it has now reached a certain scale.

It is precisely because of this that when Li Anran's carriage entered the city, it was not interrogated as closely as Chang'an City. The soldiers stationed at the city gate only asked a little, and after learning that Li Anran was here to buy a boat and planned to transport it, he waved his hand and let it go.

There is no way, in this case, several city gates in Quanzhou can encounter some of them almost every day. In addition, although this carriage does not have much attention, it is not difficult for the soldiers guarding the city to see the identity of the people in this carriage to be either rich or noble.

Especially the Kunlun slave who drives, even in a harbor city like Quanzhou, it is also the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, but it is not something that anyone can afford. Of course, the most important thing is that Li Anran and Su Xiaomei are too harmless.

After entering the city, there was no need for Kunlun slaves to inquire about the sales and manufacturing of ships. Then, several men in coarse cloth clothes gathered around. If they weren't for their smiling faces, they would have thought they had encountered a robbery.

After asking, I realized that these guys are not going to rob, but come to start a business. To put it bluntly, they are just helping you, which can play the role of a tour guide and can also have the function of inquiry, which is a bit similar to the tour guides of later generations.

Judging from the asking price of these idle people, the business is quite prosperous. Unfortunately, whether to hire someone or not is not the case. The Kunlun slave who drove the car did not count. In the end, Li Anran came forward and chose a boy who was about to be in his teens.

The reason why I chose this person was mainly because this young man looked gentle and very different from other idle people. To some extent, it felt very outstanding. It was just that his body was washed until brown and his clothes were covered with Western clothes looked a little down.

Originally, Li Anran thought that such a young man could show up outside to do some idle work, and he couldn't bear to help. As a result, after asking, he was shocked to find that the other party and him were actually his own family, and his surname was Li.

"Li Rui, you have a literary temperament, how could you fall to such a level? It shouldn't be difficult to study hard for a scholar exam, right?" Li Anran, who had opened the door of the carriage and stopped closing it again, sat up and asked.

"Reply to my husband, Li Rui's move is really helpless. The old mother at home is seriously ill and has two younger brothers and sisters to take care of her. If you just study, where can you get the money to support her?" After being invited several times, she insisted not to enter the carriage. Li Rui, who was sitting next to the coachman, said with a wry smile.

"Oh? So, are you still a poor family?" Li Anran, who was not surprised that the other party would give such an answer, said.

"Yes, isn't Li Rui one of the poor children in the world..." When he said this, Li Rui didn't know what he thought of, and his tone couldn't help but reveal a little helplessness, anger, and a little lonely feeling.

Even though he didn't know the experience of the poor child in front of him, just this sentence made Li Anran sure that the other party was a person with a story. However, the content of this story would definitely not be as beautiful as the protagonists in those novels.

"Well, since you are a poor family and have a destiny with me. So, don't you calculate the money by day? I'll hire you for a month first. As for the price, it won't be a loss for you. Just calculate it by five stakes." Although he didn't plan to explore the other party's life experience, Li Anran said in the idea of ​​helping him if he could.

"No! No!!" Li Rui waved his hands repeatedly when he heard this.

"Oh? Why not? Do you think the price is too low? It doesn't matter, you can say the numbers and I agree." Looking at the other party's firm expression, Li Anran said with a smile.

"No, not, not too low, not too high!" Seeing a misunderstanding, Li Rui quickly explained.
