My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 832 Return the favor

In the Suez Canal, since the Han Dynasty occupied the entire canal and took over the Port of Mufas at the northern end of the canal, all the merchants in the Han Dynasty went crazy. Anyone with connections rushed to the Port of Mufas like a swarm.

After all, everyone knows that with the opening of the canal, the Port of Suez and the Port of Mufas, as the two ends, will definitely become commodity distribution centers in the future. If you can have your own store in these two ports, not to mention making a lot of money every day Well, at least I can eat and drink without worries.

Shopkeeper Fan rented a boat, took a few close stewards and clerks with him, and hurried towards Port Mufas. At the same time, he also regretted in his heart, if he had known that the imperial army could defeat the Ottomans so easily. He shouldn't have left Hezhongbian City in the first place. He might have arrived at Port Mufas long ago.

However, although Shopkeeper Fan was anxious, when their boat arrived at the border market in the river, he still stopped the boat, and then hurried ashore with Manager Mo and others. They wanted to see whether the goods left behind when they left the border market were still there. Are you here?

Ordinarily, the Han won the conflict in the border market very easily. The border market should not have suffered any damage, and the shops and goods should still be there. But as the saying goes, war is like a grate, so shopkeeper Fan did not dare to expect that the goods could be preserved.

So after getting off the boat, Shopkeeper Fan trotted all the way, and finally panted to the street where his shop was located. He saw many shops on both sides of the street, and the shop doors were intact, even the door locks were there. This also surprised him.

When shopkeeper Pan came to the door of his shop, he saw that the door was still the same as when they left, and even the window paper was not broken.

So shopkeeper Fan took out the key and opened the door. When he pushed the door open, he saw that the goods in the shop were complete. Except for a layer of dust, nothing was missing. There were even a few pieces left in the tea cup on the table. Dry tea leaves.

Manager Mo rushed in first, ran to the back of the store to count the goods, and then ran out and shouted excitedly: "Shopkeeper, all the goods are there, not a single one is missing!"

"That's great!"

Although shopkeeper Fan was mentally prepared, he almost jumped up with joy when he heard that the goods were safe.

Ever since he escaped from Hezhongbian City, he has been worried about this batch of goods. Although he is rich, this batch of goods is also worth tens of thousands of dollars. If it is really wasted, I am afraid that he will also be injured. Don't expect to recover for a few years.

"Shopkeeper, since the goods are all there, should we take them on board and transport them to Port Mufas and sell them, we can definitely make a profit?"

Manager Mo suggested to Shopkeeper Fan at this time.

"No, it will take a lot of time to move so much cargo onto the ship. Now everyone is rushing to get to Mufas Port. If it is later, I'm afraid that the good places will be taken away by others, so you send two people to stay Please take care of the store and goods, and everyone else will follow me and continue on their way!"

Shopkeeper Fan made a decision immediately.

Compared with these goods, Port Mufas is more important. If you can buy a good store, shopkeeper Fan's business will definitely be able to reach a higher level in the future.

"The shopkeeper still has a long-term vision, I will do it now!"

Manager Mo immediately flattered him, and then selected two capable clerks to stay. He and the other clerks followed Shopkeeper Fan out of the store, preparing to board the ship to Mufas Port.

But Shopkeeper Fan and the others hadn't gone very far when they suddenly saw someone walking towards them at the intersection in front of them.

Seeing the fat figure of the other party, Shopkeeper Fan immediately recognized it and immediately greeted him loudly: "Shopkeeper He, when did you come back?"

"Brother Fan! It's great to see you. I just came back a few days ago. I didn't expect that the batch of goods I stocked up before is still there. How are you doing there, Brother Pan?" Shopkeeper He was immediately happy when he saw Shopkeeper Fan. He walked forward quickly.

"My goods are also there. I didn't expect that wherever the army passed by, our goods could still be preserved."

Shopkeeper Fan also smiled happily at this time. After all, his goods were saved, just like the money was found after losing it before. It was really a surprise.

"No one can say otherwise, but I heard that this time, thanks to Duke Cheng Guo restraining his soldiers and strictly prohibiting them from breaking into private houses, not only our goods are fine, but all the shops and residences in the Hezhongbian City are fine."

Shopkeeper He is indeed a well-informed person, he even knows about the army.

"I see. I have long heard that Duke Cheng was strict in his military management. This time he defeated the Ottomans and captured the entire Egypt at once. We common people can also take advantage of it."

Shopkeeper Fan also sincerely praised him at this time. After all, if Zhu Yong hadn't captured Egypt, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to go to Port Mufas.

"Who says it's not the case? I originally wanted to visit Port Mufas, but now I can't find a boat at all, so I'm planning to hire a car because I'm afraid it's not safe to take the land route."

Shopkeeper He looked helpless at the end.

He has a wide network of contacts and is very well-informed, but the bad thing is that he is well-informed. For example, right after the war, he was the first to come to the border market to check the goods, but then he heard that there was recruitment at Mufas Port. The merchant went there. He wanted to go, but he couldn't hire a boat.

It is not impossible to go by land, but Egypt has just been conquered, and the north of the canal is not safe to begin with, and now there are rioters everywhere, so shopkeeper He is worried that he may be robbed halfway, and it will be a trivial matter if he loses the money. If people are gone, everything is gone.

"Manager He, now that you have met me, don't take the land route. The boat I hired is parked at the port. Let's go to Mufas Port together so that we can take care of you when we arrive!"

Shopkeeper Fan patted his chest very boldly at this time and said.

When Shopkeeper He fled the border market, he didn't forget to inform him. Although it turned out to be okay later, Shopkeeper Fan remembered this favor. Now that he can help the other party, he will naturally not be stingy.

"Really? That's great. Thank you so much, Brother Fan!"

Shopkeeper He was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately thanked Shopkeeper Fan.

Shopkeeper Fan is also very enthusiastic. After all, helping Shopkeeper He can not only return a favor, but Shopkeeper He is well-informed. Going to Port Mufas with him may provide some convenience for himself.

So Shopkeeper Fan also asked Manager Mo to take his assistant to help Shopkeeper Fan pack up his things, and then the group got on the boat again and headed north along the canal again.

Nowadays, merchant ships from the Han Dynasty can be seen everywhere on the canal. Most of them are merchants like Shopkeeper Fan and Shopkeeper He. These businessmen are like sharks that smell blood. Wherever there is money to be made, they will be there. figure.
