The horse-drawn carriage walked leisurely along the quiet Suzaku Street.

The morning fog is clear, and birds are heard.

"Stop. ”

Zhan Xiaoyi stopped the carriage and walked down.

He thought to himself, he hadn't seen the sunrise for a long time, so why not take off his hat and walk alone on such a good morning?

On the horizon of the east, the clouds have no intention of coming out, and they have never returned with the wind.

"Good morning!"

Zhan Xiaoyi praised.

Before he knew it, the smell of wine had almost dissipated, and he had walked back to the courtyard of Fuchu.

Chun Tao waited for him in the side hall all night, and when she saw him come back, she hurriedly greeted him.

"Official, have you drunk?" she smelled Zhan Xiaoyi's vague smell of wine and knew that he had returned with a hangover.

Zhan Xiaoyi nodded. dudu1;

Chun Tao asked again: "Have you tasted 'horse fur wine'?"

As soon as he mentioned Ma Qiu wine, he immediately came to his senses.

"Official, I'm playing with you later. He said absentmindedly to Chun Tao.

After that, while hurrying in the direction of the hall, he instructed the servants: "Call Zhan Fu and Zhan Lu, as well as Mao Anyi." ”

Zhan Fu and Zhan Lu were the sons of Zhan Xiaoyi from his family in the Liao State Mansion, and because they were more capable and clever, they let them follow them to help, and it was the Song name he helped them change.

Zhan Fu is of medium stature, in his early twenties, formerly known as Xiao Punu Qilizhi, he is a good scorer, and now he helps Zhan Xiaoyi manage the accounts.

Zhan Lu is a rare short man among the Liao people, his original name is Shi Mo Jin Li Duke, resourceful, and can be regarded as Zhan Xiaoyi's brain.

Mao Anyi is about fifty years old, with a short goatee and slightly deep eyes, but he looks like he has a loyal and honest temperament.

He's a tooth man.

In the old days, the person who lived between the buyer and the seller and made a match to obtain a commission was called a tooth man, also known as a tooth lang or a tooth man.

The first Ya Man's job was to be an intermediary merchant in a city or village market, completing the transaction process smoothly for buyers and sellers, and taking commissions from them.

Later, the commerce of successive dynasties continued to develop, and the types of tooth people also became diversified, including those who negotiated trade, those who bought and sold, and those who accepted commissions, did business on behalf of others, and collected business taxes on behalf of others. Fan Wenlan's "General History of China" also mentioned: "Ya people solicit sales, negotiate prices, negotiate with the government and merchants, and sometimes make Ya people come forward." "The status of the tooth people in commerce in ancient times can be seen. dudu2;

The dental store is the place where the buyer and seller provide information, venues, matchmaking and extract commissions, that is, the office of the tooth person.

Mao Anyi's tooth line is all long, and its reputation is far inferior to Shang Chengxing, who is known as "the first tooth in Bianjing".

Zhan Xiaoyi values Mao Anyi, but not for no reason.

is because Mao Anyi, like Zhan Xiaoyi, is also a half-Song and half-Liao person. The difference is that Mao Anyi's father is from the Song Dynasty and his mother is from Liao.

Kwan Lung Bank was more specialized in trade and trading between Song and Liao firms than Shang Cheng Bank.

In this compartment, Zhan Xiaoyi waited in the hall for a while, and the three of them arrived one after another.

After the four of them sat down and drank a cup of tea, Zhan Xiaoyi got straight to the point and got straight to the point: "I want to sell 'Maqiu Wine' back to Daliao." ”

Jenford hurriedly flipped through the ledger and calculated the money he had on hand now.

Zhan Lu was silent in thought.

Mao Anyi said: "Master Zhan, don't hide it, in the past few days, there are not ten Liao merchants who have come to the Tooth Store to inquire about 'Ma Qiu Wine', but the Eight Treasure Teahouse has made it clear that it is only retail, and it is not sold in batches." ”

"Didn't you talk to their host?" asked Zhan Xiaoyi.

Mao Anyi said helplessly: "Why not, the little one has been there no less than a dozen times, and every time it is the shopkeeper of the surname Shi who receives him, and the owner can't even see a personal shadow." ”dudu3;

Zhan Lu also interjected: "The little one has also heard that the owner of the Eight Treasures Tea House is a master who easily disappears. ”

Zhan Xiaoyi was curious: "Who is so arrogant?

Mao Anyi replied to him: "It's Hou Lelang of Anguo." ”

"An Guohou?" Zhan Xiaoyi thought for a while before he remembered a rough idea, and said with a smile: "Is it the descendant of the so-called 'Shang God' Leshan of the Song people?"

"It is the descendant of the 'God of Commerce' Leshan. Speaking of the "God of Commerce" Leshan, there is nothing that the Song people do not admire, Mao Anyi's tone is respectful.

Zhan Xiaoyi was a little disdainful: "Didn't you say that his descendants have all become ruined?"

A trace of disgust quickly flashed in Mao Anyi's eyes, but he regained his calm in an instant, and no one present noticed it.

He replied: "There are still three nails in the rotten ship, and no matter how dilapidated the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion is, it is stronger than our white bodies, not to mention that he still has three highnesses as a backer." ”

"Third Highness?" Zhan Xiaoyi was stunned when he heard this.

He pondered for a while before he asked Mao Anyi uncertainly, "Is that the Third Highness?"

"Hmm. Mao Anyi nodded.
