When eating mutton, it must be eaten in large pieces to enjoy it, and the white water mutton boiled in clear water is the most delicious. When eating pork, it is carefully cooked, with a lot of seasoning, and the flavor slowly enters the meat, and when it is fully fused with the fat, it becomes a peerless delicacy.

A pig is more than 100 catties, and he can't eat it at all, a pot of braised pork disappeared in an instant, the braised pork ribs were served, Yun Zheng went to find a pair of chopsticks, and when he came back, he found that it was gone.

Qingyi Jieguizhang is a person who takes care of his friends very much, but after eating, he generally forgets about his friends' savings, watching Yun Zheng eat cakes in broth, he can't help but feel a little embarrassed, and always feels that he needs to help Yun Zheng do something to make up for his mistakes.

"The leader said that merchants are greedy, and you are no exception!"

Yun Zheng stuffed the cake in his mouth and looked at Qingyi Ghost Chapter with resentment: "The old leader is right, running thousands of miles just for money, if there is no profit to be made here, I will run from the warm spring Shu to the plateau and be sunburned like charcoal." ”

After swallowing the cake, he looked at Qingyi and said, "I just treat the transaction as a sentiment, although it seems that I have suffered a loss in the moment, but in the long run, I will make a lot of money."

For example, would you rather do business with me now, or would you rather do business with someone else? ”

Qingyi nodded and said, "Of course we do business with you, we are friends!" ”

"It's not over, others do business with you, not only ask you, but also give you generous gifts, and in the end may not be able to do your business, I'm different, I please all Qingtang people, and every Qingtang people are good friends, so you will look at me differently, eat a meal of rotten pork will make you feel ashamed, this is love, in my opinion, people who don't know how to do business with love are actually stupid.

By the way, when you meet the old chief, tell me about the thirty or so horses I have here. If the old chief will not accept it, I will exchange the horses for some other goods, and in any case must not violate the rules laid down by the old chief. ”

"It's just more than thirty horses, I can do this master!" Qingyi Ghost Chapter was a little dissatisfied.

"Less. Qingtang horses do not flow out, this is the rule of Qingtang, since the rules have been established, they must be obeyed, the Qingtang Ministry has been independent for only 20 years, at this time it is necessary to respect the rules set by themselves, and they are not complied with at this time, do you expect to abide by it after 50 years? ”

Yun Zheng did not accept the kindness of Qingyi's ghost chapter, these horses were all given to Yun Zheng by patients, and it stands to reason that they will not be reported. There will be no problem, the gifts sent by the Qingtang people are not allowed to be taken back, otherwise it will be an insult to the Qingtang people, Yun Zheng estimates that Jiao Guluo will not take it back, once it is taken back. It will make the Qingtang people look down on it, because this is indeed a gift from the herdsmen, not obtained by other means, and the people on the grassland spit on a pit, and it is difficult to change.

Jiaoluo is not easy to say, Yun Zheng has to say it himself, although he is in Qingtang, part of the purpose is Qingtang Horse. But the most important purpose is to enter Western Xia as a Qingtang person and fulfill his dream, no matter how careful he is at this time, it is not too much.

Miaochuan City is in front of you, not too high, not too big, the stone wall is more than one zhang high. There was no moat, no castle to protect the city, and a rough gate made of thick logs was wide open, and the people of the city could be seen coming and going.

The army was stationed outside the castle, and such a castle was not even as good as the Beichuan county town that Yun Zheng had seen. However, he is the capital of the Qingtang Ministry's control of the 600-mile river, and the importance of his status is second only to Qingtang City.

The number of people entering the city must not exceed 100, Yun Zheng did not bring a hundred people into Miaochuan, only brought Steward Lu and Peng Jiu, Han Niu, and monkeys, drove a mule cart, and carried some gifts into Michuan City.

Qingtang's official office is simple and abnormal, and a slightly larger adobe house is the destination of Yun Zheng's trip, the tax office! Accompanying Yun Zheng was Dong Yu's cronies, but he didn't expect this guy to be a leader of the tax office, and he entered the tax office with a familiar way, and took Yun Zheng to meet the ambassador of the tax office in Qingtang, a Han man with a turban, he was holding a book reading when he entered the door, and Yun Zheng glanced at it casually when he saluted and narrated, and found that it was a book.

This is not surprising, as long as the people who deal with numbers and words, whether in Western Xia or Qingtang, most of them are Han Chinese, and the rest of them are the famous Semu people, the legendary slippery people who can squeeze oil out of stones.

"Sir has come from afar, I think this trip must be very fruitful!"

This middle-aged man named Gong Feng is not too annoying, and he speaks with a hint of civility, without the aura of a person who looks at everyone like seeing goods and is ready to discuss the price.

"Brother Gong Feng is sitting in Miaochuan City, no wonder there are many people here, the younger brother's trip is indeed worthwhile, before he arrives in Qingtang, the goods have been sold out, this is the majesty of the festival envoy."

Yun Zheng made a gesture towards the south, in order to show respect for the diagonal Luo, although the face is full of laughter, but the heart is alarmed, although there are only thirteen articles, but the atmosphere is magnificent, the book is full of the way of the rise and fall of the dynasty, this is not a book that ordinary people can understand, among the compulsory subjects of imperial art, there is.

If Yun Zheng guessed correctly, this person may not be the ambassador of the tax office, but should be the mastermind of Jiao Guluo, but the name Gong Feng has really not been heard, you must know that Yun Zheng did nothing else before leaving, and the only thing he did was to read the brilliant biographies of Qingtang and Xixia that Xiaolin found.

Yun Zheng thought about it for a long time, and made sure that there was no such person named Gong Feng in Xiaolin's intelligence, and the more this happened, the more Yun Zheng felt that this person was extraordinary and needed to be dealt with carefully.

The habit of the Han people is to greet each other first, and then talk about business, Gong Feng is no exception, and Yun Zheng talked about the scenery of Hanoi and sighed, saying that he had not returned to Hanoi for ten years to sweep the tombs of his dead ancestors, which was really unfilial.

It is strange that a scholar who has served a different race still has the concept of filial piety, and the north of the Yellow River is Hanoi. During the Warring States period, Hanoi was the territory of Wei, and at the end of Qin, Sima Wei was named King Yin by Xiang Yu, and the capital was in Hanoi. When Han Gaozu ascended the throne, he set up the Yin State, and the following year it was renamed Hanoi County, located in the southeast of Taihang Mountain and north of the Yellow River. Together with Hedong County and Henan County, it is called Sanhe.

The people there have a habit of tying the buckle of the belt on the left, it is said that this is to commemorate the wise man Sima Yi of Hanoi, and this one was told to himself by the monk Wugou as a joke, so Yun Zheng only needs to glance at the position of this person's belt to know that he is talking nonsense.

"Young Brother Yun is a seven-grade official at a young age, it's really enviable, I think Gong Feng was also a ten-year cold window, the iron inkstone was worn through, and he wanted to rely on what he learned in his chest to fight a high-ranking official and dignitary, but he couldn't get it, I don't know whose way the young brother took to have today's eunuch?"

Yun Zheng frowned and said: "Brother Gong Feng, where is it, the official position is the important weapon of the country, there is no reason to give and receive privately, Yun Zheng first entered the official family because of the gift of the official family, rewarded a flattering Lang's idle position, and later the martial arts position in Shuzhong was vacant, and the younger brother also made up for a martial position, which has been shamed by the world, my brother must not expose the hidden pain of the younger brother!" ”

Seeing that Yun Zheng was displeased, Gong Feng stood up and arched his hand: "Ah, this is not down, Young Brother Yun, please forgive the foolish brother for many years of unhappiness, and it is inevitable that he will be harsh and mean when he speaks." ”

Yun Zheng didn't plan to delay here much after returning the salute, this bastard was deliberately provoking himself, wanting to see some clues, it was better not to deal with such a person.

"The little brother's trip to Qingtang is quite profitable, since the little brother is profitable, it is his duty to pay taxes according to the regulations, here is the account book of the caravan, and Brother Gong Feng is invited to inspect it!"

Gong Feng said that it was easy to say, easy to say, but his eyes were browsing the account book, and he put down the account book and said to Yun Zheng without much effort: "The accounts are very clear, and Young Brother Yun's way of doing business is also novel, no copper coins, only bartering for the benefit of the people, such a mind is rare." But as the old saying goes, there are clouds, no profit can not be early, what is the reason for Young Brother Yun to abandon huge profits? ”

"Yun only wants to be long-term, from the account books, Brother Gong Feng can see that the younger brother has made a profit of seven points, is he not satisfied with such a profit? The most important thing to do business is mutual benefit, only in this way can business be done for a long time, now the land of Qingtang is safe and happy, it is a rare business treasure, abandon a few points of profit, as long as the business can be done for a long time, what are those profits? ”

Gong Feng said with a smile: "I'm afraid this business is more than seven cents for the young brother, I heard that the official family of the Great Song Dynasty has issued a thrifty order, and the accumulated silk silk in Shu may have been piled up long ago, the official family of the Great Song Dynasty knows that it is sympathetic to the people, and the young brother is not afraid of bringing the simple wind of Qingtang?" ”

Yun Zheng stood up, looked at Gong Feng and said word by word: "The goods have always been priced on the spot, and the silk silk in Shu is indeed cheap, but Yun Zheng is the only one who can be transported to Qingtang. ”

This person speaks very viciously, and the crime of bringing bad folk customs is enough to kill the head, what is he going to do?

Gong Feng laughed and said: "Young brother, don't worry, Gong Feng is just saying, most of the silk you sell has become a thing to worship the gods and worship the sky, and it is not enough to bring bad folk customs, since the accounts are clear, this will be a bill for the young brother." ”

This guy is also a person with some ability, the four-pillar account seems to be not difficult for him, the calculation in his hand moved slightly, and he quickly calculated the final amount, Yun Zheng needs to pay a tax of one hundred and thirty and seven hundred Wen in Qingtang.

This is not bad with Yun Zheng's own calculations, seeing this guy grinning, Yun Zheng suddenly had a very strange thought.
