Chapter 175 176. Cargo Owner
"With so many people surrounding them, try not to make a mess." Dan Ke'an, who saw this kind of situation for the first time, became a little anxious. Although his cousin did not invest much money here, he still got a share of the profits.
"Don't worry, there won't be any chaos." Bai Jinglie also came over and stared at the distance, "I'll let Ye Yi take charge of the people there. If anyone is blind, just throw them into the sea to feed the fish."
"Everyone, please don't push. This batch of goods has already been reserved by us. Please disperse quickly!" Ye Yi stood on the deck with his men with an expressionless face. His face was recognized by many people. After all, he followed Bai Jinglie all day long, and many people saw him.
"My dear brother," some people who had not been exposed to it naturally took the lead, "this kind of thing is not allowed here. The boatman hasn't even said anything yet, so why are you taking on so much responsibility?
Besides, it's such a big ship, you can't eat all the cargo inside, right?"
"That's right, you can't eat so much by yourself without even giving everyone a sip of soup. And these things haven't even been put out yet, so how come they are all yours?"
Even those who knew Ye Yi's identity remained silent at this time. Since there was a young man charging in the front, they might as well wait and see what happened.
"But we were ordered to transport these goods from the barbarians. Even if we want to sell them to foreign countries, we must get the consent of our prince."
"But the news we got was not like that," someone shouted from the back, "They said this batch of goods was new stuff, so they asked us to come early and wait. We have been waiting for most of the day. You can't intercept the goods. This is unfair to us."
"Yes, it's unfair. Just because you have a little power, you won't give everyone a chance to live."
Gu Wenheng was nearly choked by the water and coughed twice. He just wanted to sell goods, but when did it escalate to such a serious level?
Seeing that everyone's emotions were aroused, he couldn't help but secretly give himself a thumbs up. Although it was a bit exaggerated to find someone to add fuel to the fire, at least he had livened up the atmosphere.
All I could hear was a mix of people talking outside, everyone was blaming Ye Yi, and their words hinted that Ye Yi was taking advantage of his power to bully others.
As for the "owners" of this batch of goods, those foreigners, they could only stand awkwardly on the boat and listen to the two parties talking back and forth. The translator standing nearby was only concerned with watching the fun and ignored the requests for help in their eyes.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, Bai Jinglie straightened his robes and said, "Seeing that you guys like to watch the fun so much, I'll take you to watch it."
Lu Ping and Shan Ke'an quickly stopped him, "You can't go out now. If you are recognized, they will definitely stop you from leaving."
"Yes! Cousin, you see Ye Yi is surrounded by so many people, why don't you give them some? Otherwise, this will not end well."
Two fists are no match for four legs, let alone with so many people. Dan Kenan doesn't think his small body can withstand a few blows.
Gu Wenheng: “…” I didn’t expect these two to also get into the role.
Bai Jinglie, "If we don't get out now, Ye Yi will probably lose control of himself. If someone dies, that would be really bad."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Gu Wenheng, "Brother Wenheng, please come in!"
Gu Wenheng smiled and said, "Please!"
The atmosphere has become so heated, and it's time for the important characters to appear.
Seeing the two men walking towards the crowded area, Lu Ping and Shan Ke'an gritted their teeth and chased after them.

"Prince Bai is here," someone shouted, and everyone looked at them.
"The Marquis of Wu'an? What is he doing here?"
"You fools, the person standing on the cabin just now is the guard of the Marquis of Wu'an. He follows him around every day, and most of the people know him."
"Then why didn't you remind us just now?" The faces of those who had cursed the most vigorously just now turned pale. They were just businessmen, and in the eyes of these dignitaries, they were nothing.
"You were so excited just now that you didn't notice that the other old sly guys didn't say anything, and the shopkeepers in the mansion all shrank back."
Looking more carefully, it was true. Even the shopkeeper under the local prefect was standing behind the crowd looking around, as if he was just passing by.
"Why are there so many people gathered here?" Wherever Bai Jinglie passed, everyone automatically parted ways and made way for him.
"Master, these people also want to buy goods, but this batch of goods has been contracted by our people. I don't know where they got the news from." Ye San pointed at the crowd with an angry expression, "I explained to them that this batch of goods has an owner, but they don't believe it."
Bai Jinglie was silent for a while. "I am going to ship these goods to Shangjing. I am still worried that there will not be enough to share. Let them all disperse."
When they heard that the goods were being shipped to the capital, even the shopkeepers of the government could not stand still. They stood on tiptoe and kept scanning the cargo ship.
"You can't do this. It is said that whoever sees it has a share. You can't bully others by taking advantage of your power." Someone in the crowd shouted, and Bai Jinglie frowned.
"This is business, there is a first come first served rule for everything. I can't just keep you all here and I have to distribute some of the goods."
"But we've been waiting for so long, you have to let us see what the goods are, right?" The same voice came from the corner, but the person was quickly covered up by everyone. Ye Yi and the others looked everywhere, but couldn't find the person.
"Forget it, Ye Er, go get some samples for everyone to see," Bai Jinglie now admired Gu Wenheng more and more. Everything was developing according to his previous prediction.
As the samples were displayed, many people were puzzled. Are these square things really worth guarding here?
"What is this?"
"That thing next to it seems to be glass?"
"Such a big piece? What is it used for?"
Ye San acted as an interpreter at this time, and even demonstrated the soap and scented soap. Then he talked about the pieces of glass, "As long as these are inlaid on the doors and windows, the whole house will be brighter, and it can also block wind and rain. It is much more stable than the paper windows we used before."
"You can't take all of these good things." Before seeing the real thing, everyone would just complain, but now everyone gathered even more closely.
"My Lord, don't transport all of these rare things to the capital. At least leave some for us locals."
"Yes, yes. We are all His Majesty's subjects. It doesn't matter where we sell our goods."
Many people have smelled the business opportunity. No matter which item is taken out, it is enough to make those wealthy families willing to spend a lot of money.
Now everyone's heart is burning with enthusiasm. They don't dare to hope to keep the whole shipload of goods. If they can get something, then their trip today will not be in vain.
