Chapter 129 Unloading



"Ship! Big ship!"

Held in Song Chengxin's arms, Wen Shishi excitedly raised her little fist and shouted.

Although in her previous life, her grandfather had taken her on even more beautiful and larger luxury cruise ships and private yachts...

There were only two wooden boats in front of us, but they looked exceptionally beautiful.

She was probably detained for a few days, and this was the first interesting thing she had ever seen.

Inspired by Wen Shishi, the other children cheered, and the young monks eagerly awaited their turn.

The tense and solemn atmosphere was instantly dispelled by the children's laughter.

Qin Shan disembarked first, accompanied by nine sailors and twenty martial arts practitioners.

According to Qin Shan, it was Master Jiang who arranged for the twenty most capable guards in the mansion to be transferred here.

Qin Shan ordered his twenty-nine men to unload the supplies...

Jiang Xinyu approached with a mixture of excitement and worry, "Uncle Qin, did my parents say anything to me?"

Qin Shan carefully examined Jiang Xinyu, his eyes filled with both heartache and pride.

"How could I not be worried? The master said that when you go back, he'll make you kneel in the ancestral hall forever!"

Jiang Xinyu felt guilty and chuckled twice before asking about her mother.

"Madam is alright, but she's worried about the young master..."

Qin Shan replied, "But we are all proud of you, young master, after hearing about your achievements."

Don't worry, young master, everything is fine at home.

The master is all bark and no bite; he personally selected these twenty guards!

On the large ship, besides food and supplies, there were also plenty of warm blankets, clothing, shoes, socks, and other items...

One box of beef tendons, two boxes of weapons, and several bundles of hemp rope, fishing nets, hammers, chisels, and other tools...

Several boxes were placed separately.

Qin Shan personally arranged all of these things.

He was thinking long-term; once this matter was resolved, the temple needed to be rebuilt, the Song family needed to build houses, and even the fishermen needed to fish for a living...

The ship had limited capacity, so he focused on preparing supplies first. With the tools he would prepare later, he believed it wouldn't be too difficult for the young master of the Song family.

He directed his men to pull up more than ten tents from the ship.

All of them were set up: four for the fishermen and their wives, one for the monks, one for the Song family, and one for Jiang Xinyu and his men...

The remaining four tents were used to store quilts, clothes, and shoes in one tent, grain in another, and tools for later use...

One was provided to Song Chengjian, along with two barrels of homemade explosives, weapons, and tools that had already been unloaded from the ship.

The other ship did not dock; it remained at sea, waiting for the large ship carrying Qin Shan to unload its cargo...

It seems they are protecting it.

"Uncle Qin, this ship?"

Jiang Xinyu asked, puzzled.

Qin Shan turned his head and waved to the large ship.

The helmsman, standing at the bow, and the other crew members stood along the outer edge, bowing to Jiang Xinyu and Steward Qin...

The ship gradually veered off course and headed towards Wan'an Prefecture.

As the boat set sail, Qin Shan explained to Jiang Xinyu, "The time we encountered the typhoon, all the cargo that was supposed to be delivered ended up in the water..."

Jiang Xinyu nodded.

"When I returned this time, the master had already received news of the typhoon."

The ship, originally scheduled to be reloaded and depart in a few days, is now facing concerns about further unforeseen circumstances...

But just as I was returning this time, the master ordered the cargo ships to set off together, so that both ships could be taken care of.

However, the situation in Yazhou is special now, and it is not safe for cargo ships to dock there.

The master ordered the merchant ships to dock at Qiongzhou Port, even though transshipment on the island would increase the distance...

But it can ensure the safety of the goods.

Furthermore, I have already informed the master that you have sold the large ship to Young Master Song...

Once the goods are handed over in Qiongzhou and everything is settled here, the cargo ship will return and pick us up...

Jiang Xinyu nodded admiringly, inwardly praising his father's thoughtful consideration.

Song Chenghou listened from the side. Although they had never met before, he could get a general idea of ​​the wealthy businessman's abilities and manners from the Jiang family's arrangements.

Qin Shan invited Jiang Xinyu and Song Chenghou to the tents where they stored bedding and clothing.

From one of the large boxes containing clothes, uncover the clothes covering it and take out a medium-sized box.

Upon opening it, one finds neatly stacked silver ingots.

Each one weighed twenty taels and was stacked several layers high.

At the same time, Song Chenghou and Jiang Xinyu looked at the large box and found that there was another identical inner box inside.

Qin Shan put down the box and took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket, each worth a thousand taels, six in total.

With the addition of two boxes of silver ingots, the total came to 14,000 taels.

Qin Shan said, "These were all prepared at the master's request..."
