Chapter 019: The True Face of the Merchant

In an instant, Guliang County ordered the two of them to come to him.

Suddenly, he stood up on horseback. Shaking his hands, he first took the silk belt of Wanglingtong. The other hand was pulled into the waist of the prime minister. shouted: "Get up." ”

The second brother and the fourth brother were attacked by him unexpectedly and were both captured.

Here, Yiyun and Mu Yu shouted one after another on the horse: "Look at me." ”

The misty lion also galloped over, stood on the horse, and snatched his younger brother's mister.

Mu Yu's Ben Dian Wangyun arrived together, turned over and stood, and snatched the second brother Wanglingtong with both arms.

The captain of the West Hall, who was watching the battle, was shocked.

He was a little stunned, and exclaimed, "High, high, really high! All of them are shocking heroes. ”

Several people dismounted one after another, and Gu Liangguang came over to give a salute and said: "The two virtuous brothers are fighting hard and exhausted, and the eldest brother is here to relieve the boredom and amuse." ”

Everyone hugged each other and laughed for a while.

White Horse Wuyi and six captains of the West Hall rode back to the county office, and the BMW was drawn into the horse number on the right side of the county office, and the weapons were returned to the armor warehouse.

Yunyun tied his apron, but the whole dish was strong, and the wine banquet was set up, and the six of them munched and drank. Yuyun was drunk, and sang Li Taibai's "Will Enter the Wine", and Gu Liang Guangfei played the yaoqin. It's lively until midnight.

Early the next morning, Wanggaozhi brought the herding rain and returned to Wanglongxi County. Gu Liangguang, Yiyun, and Yixiang each packed some gifts for Gao Zhi's parents.

Entrusted by Gu Liangguang with two things, one is to go to his hometown to see his wife and brother Xue Tao's family of four, and leave him the usual money. The second is to go to Dengzhou to see the pestle of the thorn Shi Ji, in addition to a piece of black jade, there is a pair of cursive writing of the seven laws, let him axe, if it is okay, let him collect it.

Wanggaozhi went to the bridgehead of the Guancheng River in the east of Longxi County, and the gate of his hometown was locked. Ask the neighbor and take out a letter to him. When I opened it, I saw that my parents didn't hear from him, and I was very anxious. The neighbor gave him the key, opened the door and went in, but there was dust everywhere, and sure enough, no one lived for half a year.

So he hurriedly took Mu Yu and rushed to Xue Tao's house to deliver the consistent copper coins given by Gu Liangguang. hurriedly ate Xue Tao's wine and rice, and said about the white horse Wuyi worship. rushed all the way to Penglai.

Hawking Village, under the big catalpa tree.

Wei County ordered Chen Zhe, Wang Lingtong and his parents to sing three sellers Wangxiao, Fan Dan, Chang Du, and his brother Wang Zhuntong, and other six people, on the cool breeze of Pingshan River, feasted and drank for a long time, and talked endlessly.

Fan Zhugong saw his nephew talking about the friendship of Baima Wuyi, and asked, "Since you are brothers, where do you put your fifth brother Muyu?"

Gao Zhi had no choice but to say that he was afraid that his family would think of something else, so he let Mu Yu temporarily live in an inn in Penglai County.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Li, is very reasonable, and when she heard about this, Mu Yu's experience was so bitter, and she deeply sympathized. Let the husband hurriedly let Mu Yu come to live at home, and it will be a family in the future.

The next day, Wang Gaozhi went to Penglai County, the seat of Dengzhou's Thorn History, found Mu Yu from the inn, and rushed back to Wangwang Village. Mu Yu met his father-in-law and mother-in-law one by one, and Zhao Zhi and his two sisters-in-law.

Gao Zhi and his daughter-in-law Li took Mu Yu to meet with his second uncle Fan Zhugong and second aunt Ding, and then went to his third uncle Chang Buqu's house to meet him.

Looking at the family, Mu Yu's words and deeds are elegant, the etiquette is thorough, the upbringing is good, the demeanor is dignified, and everyone likes it. The eldest grandson Kyushu soon had a hot fight with her, and the village and the village were jumping around with joy.

The family knew that Wanggao wanted to enter the military gate, and they also strongly supported it. Although the mother and daughter-in-law are reluctant, the men in the family can make military exploits, not to mention the marquis and worship the generals, even if they are a middle and lower-level general, they will have to be a lot of light in the future. What do men do? That's what they do.

Make up your mind and give a letter to the eldest brother Gu Liang Guangxiu, and greet the third brother Yunyun and the fourth brother Yunxiang by the way. Gao Zhi asked his fifth brother Mu Yu to go to Penglai City, hire a fast horse, and send the letter to Baima.

Mu Yu packed his bags. Before leaving, the whole family was sent out and asked her to be careful all the way. Wangyun told Mu Yu to inquire in advance if there was any war on the road ahead and bypass the battle area. Mu Yu hugged his fists and saluted.

The rain is gone, and it will take two decades at the earliest, and one month at the slower. You should be able to come back around the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Gao Zhi and his father and third uncle combined, whether to join forces to sell kelp.

Gao Zhi believes that this business before the Mid-Autumn Festival is also very important. The kelp that people bought during the Spring Festival has long been eaten. And if you want to eat kelp during the Mid-Autumn Festival, you don't have it.

Chang Buqu gave him the advice to wait for the Spring Festival.

I used to sell it during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I felt that the trade was not ideal. Originally, it was planned to only do the trip before the Spring Festival this year. See the goods in October, transport in winter, and finish before Laba. If you want to make money for the Mid-Autumn Festival, you should see the goods in June, and now they are loaded and shipped. Otherwise, it will arrive in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the batch will not be finished.

In that case, you will have to sell it cheaply, and you will definitely lose money. Either stock it up, and go out before Laba. However, there will also be a lot of storage fees. In addition, before the Spring Festival, kelp by the sea is also abundantly prepared, and the price is definitely lower than usual. In this case, there is no advantage in selling the kelp that you usually stockpile.

Chen Zhe listened to Changdu's discussion, and deeply felt that the interlacing was like a mountain, and it was indeed true. When Gao Zhi put forward an idea, if he was a layman, he must have felt that it made sense. Without the guidance of an old connoisseur, we will act. When the time comes, it is destined to lose money.

Even if you go to the beach, other kelp producers tell you that it is best to wait for the Spring Festival. But such a long distance is not something that ordinary people can afford, which is equivalent to losing money.

Then ask the second uncle how to make the tin ingot.

Fan Dan thought that if he wanted to engage in tin ingots, he should first ask the place of origin and then talk about sales.

Tin is one of the gold, silver, copper, iron, tin hardware, there were tin tools in ancient times in the land of China, which were much earlier than copper and iron.

Tin ore is so-called, there must be arsenic, which is arsenic. The production of tin ingots is the largest. Then there are Hengyang, Jianghua, Guiyang, Douzhou, Yuzhang, and Luanzhou, which are generally concentrated around Nanyue Hengshan.

Tin is soft, has a low melting point, and is widely used. It can make dishes, saucers, wine pots, wine glasses, wine irons, teapots, tea cups, tea canisters, candlesticks, incense burners, incense stickers, pen holders, pen washers, paperweights, soup pots, vases, jewelry boxes, ornaments, etc., about 200 kinds.

Through melting, casting, modeling, cutting, scraping, welding, polishing, decorating, engraving and other processes, the tinware produced by the tinsmith is quite delicate and attractive.

When tin and sulfur are combined, they will be golden. Tin and copper 37, 28, 19 fusion, is a bronze heavy weapon, as a weapon, extremely hard.

As for the selection of pewter, it is necessary to smell its sound, observe its color, distinguish its quality, appreciate its work, and inquire about its price.

Smell it. Pure tin material is twisted and sounded, so it is called ringing tin. Swiping your fingernails outward from the palm of your hand, the alloy pewter has a clear sound and a short echo. The sound of pure tin is not brittle and has no echo, and it is a high-quality pewter.

Look at it. Pure tin, the color is like silver, bright as a mirror. Alloy pewter is bright but not white, dark and bright. Pure pewter looks like silverware.

Distinguish its quality. The higher the purity, the more durable it is, and the food will stay fresh for a long time.

Reward their work. Purity determines the process. Alloy tin is hard and not easy to machine. Pure tin is soft, can be carved and hollowed. The seal is very good, and when the tea caddy is covered hard, it will rebound.

Ask for a price. Each finished product has a price, and the price is too low, and there is a suspicion of alloy tin and potential safety hazards.

After the second uncle Fan Dan finished speaking, it was another big piece of knowledge, and this time it was Wang Lingtong's turn to be surprised. Sitting in the study, gnawing on books, you will never get these truths. This is the second uncle's knowledge that has been running on two legs for many years. Thinking of learning, Wang Lingtong is still satisfied with the imperial examination system since the Sui Dynasty.

But when I talked about sales and business with my father and two uncles, I was in a trance not like the people of the Tang Dynasty. They are completely independent of this world.

No matter how many people you die in battle, as long as there are still people alive, there will be their stage. It is definitely a society that exists beyond Confucianism, Mo, and Taoism, and it has nothing to do with these so-called sages and sages.

Whether it is the way of survival of the peddlers, the sales activities, or the theories and morals pursued, they are all independent and special existences. Any other theoretical or moral attempt to condescend to educate the peddlers is almost useless. It even backfired, causing their collective disgust.

As a result, the social elite dominated by Confucianism and Taoism was isolated from them. Thousands of years are difficult to understand, so they are put into a separate book.

And when the family and country were dying, they had to wag their tails and beg for mercy, trying to ask the traffickers to pull them along.
