Chapter 51: Water Ghosts!

"Boss, are we really heading to Lyuzhou?"

A sizable four-masted, nine-sailed ship was slowly approaching the docks of Lyuzhou. In the now desolate waterway of Lyuzhou, it was particularly conspicuous.

"There's no other way..." On the deck, a dark-skinned, robust man stood at the bow, gazing toward Lyuzhou with a look of helplessness, "Do you think we are like Baiye, Rongsheng, and those other big businesses? Do they have so many channels? Trying to sell our goods in other Provincial Government Offices like them without connections? Given the current market with its glut of goods, we'd have to slash our prices by at least thirty percent!"

"Not to mention that the other two docks are congested, and the soldiers are deliberately delaying ships. Boss Su from next door paid four thousand taels of silver to expedite the process, and even then, he managed to enter the harbor only two days earlier. For us who don't pay, who knows how long we will have to drift on this river!"
