On Xiayang's side, familiar businessmen have become familiar with the road, looking for a place to live, arranging manpower, and contacting the branch of the Four Seas Merchant Gang to trade materials and intelligence.

"Uncle Wang, you've been here many times, and we'll go to Tianshui to find your house in the future, okay?"

The receptionist of the merchant gang is more familiar with the Wang family from Hanyang County, that is, Tianshui.

Since the autumn of the third year of the first peace, the Wang family has established close contacts with this side. At that time, the wheat seeds provided by the Wang family provided great support for the Xinxi Liang Army.

"Of course. My old man has been running business here for more than a year, and this side is really getting better and better. ”

The receptionist said, "Hahaha! Thank you from the bottom of your heart. Similarly, I am also willing to contribute to the construction of this place and help the careers of Weiyang Jun and Haoyang Hou. ”

The head of the Wang family also said, "We will still live here in the next few days, and then we can trouble our business gang to help us find a way to find salt and charcoal, and our intelligence fee is so affordable, I am very grateful." ”

The receptionist said, "It's easy to say." ”

After the Hanyang Wang family left, the Shang Gang gathered the information to Zhang Ji, the person in charge here.

Zhang not only holds an important official position, but also the head of the business gang, and he is the only one. Therefore, the Hedong Shi clan also did not have the opportunity to intervene too much in the internal operation of the Shang Gang.

He knew that Tong Yuan attached great importance to the Tianshui area, that is, the area of Hanyang County.

And this Tianshui Wang family, unlike the local Yang, Zhao, Jiang, Yin and other famous scholars, can only be regarded as the middle and lower class of the local scholars, if there is no one to be an official in the next generation, it will become the same cold family as him.

On the other hand, the Wang family is similar to the Zhang family, and now they are both rich in business, and the Zhang family relies on Sanfu to travel to and from Hedong, Hetao, and Liangzhou to develop business. The Wang family mainly followed the business of Sanfu, Liangzhou and Bashu.

The competition between the two companies is limited, and mutual benefit is the mainstay. Combined with their family's support for the monarch and the general, Zhang Ji had previously considered whether he could develop them into a member of the Shang Gang, or even an important member of Hanyang County, that is, the Tianshui region.

Years ago, he discussed this matter with Tong Yuan.

Tong Yuan is also very supportive, he said that the business gang itself serves many groups including scholars, Hanmen, Haoqiang, large households, small people and many other groups, if there are scholars who are familiar with the local situation, Hanmen, Haoqiang to join and become important contacts, it is the best.

Based on this, Zhang Ji took time out of his busy schedule of spring ploughing and Yiying affairs to talk to the Wang family about this matter.

The head of the Wang family left the merchant gang and went to the bustling Xiayang City to take a stroll. Thinking that his daughter is going to get married this year, he also sighed.

After working hard for most of his life, not to mention the land or anything for the time being, although the business is not as big as the Hedong Shi clan, it is not worse than those in Tianshui. But because there has been no one to be an official for two generations, Yang, Jiang, Ren, Yan, and Liang look down on him.

That is to say, the Zhao family has been very close for several generations, and now the relationship between the two families is better, and after his daughter marries, I don't know what will happen?

Fortunately, Zhao Ang, the eldest son of the Zhao family, is quite modest and courteous, and likes the art of war.

"Father! How did you go for so long? It's hard to find my daughter. ”

A tall, handsome, down-and-out figure appeared with a heroic but not compelling voice, attracting the sideways glances of the surrounding businessmen and customers.

Wang Yixiang is more mature and stable than Chu Ping for three years, wearing a blue brocade curved skirt wrapped in a blue skirt, which sets off her posture and temperament, which is quite eye-catching. Paired with a rare and expensive gray fluffy cape, the air will immediately condense.

Although the atmosphere of men and women in the Han Dynasty was not as open as in the Tang Dynasty, it was also relatively open.

Especially in the Liangzhou area, there are abundant martial virtues, and some women practice martial arts, and sometimes even go into battle. Tong Yuan, who is accustomed to the customs of various places on the border, will certainly not be surprised by this scene.

Wang Yi is nearly twenty this year, and she can be regarded as an older leftover girl in ancient times, but fortunately, she has already negotiated the marriage with the famous Zhao family in the same county, and she can get married only in the summer and autumn.

The head of the Wang family said, "Yi'er, this is not my hometown after all, you can't be too conspicuous, be careful of bad people." ”

Wang Yi said calmly: "Father, don't worry, in other places in Sanfu, I wear men's clothes, and even armor, to protect everyone." Isn't this just that my father has never come back and has come to you? ”

The head of the Wang family sighed, no matter how strong his daughter is in martial arts, the father is always worried about danger.

Wang Yi said happily, "Xia Yang is really good, I don't have to worry about bandits who may appear in other places at any time here, and there are many kinds of goods and good quality, my father let me go shopping for a while, okay?" ”

The head of the Wang family said decisively, "It's not good, it's not good, there are still many things in business, let's take a look after it's done." ”

Wang Yi turned his back and stuck out his tongue, and whispered, "You also said that there are many things, didn't you come here alone?" These days, the family business depends on me. ”

"Who are you talking to secretly?"

"Huh? I'm thinking about today's business, thinking about buying some silk in addition to salt and charcoal, and preparing for business in a few months' time. ”

The head of the family sighed again and said, "You are going to get married in the summer, don't keep thinking about the family's business, let's think more about how to adapt and get along well after going to the Zhao family." ”

Wang Yi shook his head, Dad has suddenly become very verbose since last year.

She didn't hate Zhao Ang's family, but this parting made her very uncomfortable.

"I really hope that I can run the business for my dad and let him enjoy himself at home."

My younger sister spends a lot of money and can't support the family, and my younger brother is still five years old, so even if he is older, he has to study the scriptures all the time.

After I get married, the burden will be on my father again. Although the family property is somewhat wealthy, it is too dangerous to go out to do business without the support of his own martial arts in this year.

Time slows down, I hope my parents don't get old, so that my daughter can be with them.

Wang Yi and his father returned to their caravan's mansion. Under the promotion of the Four Seas Merchant Gang, Xiayang and other places newly established a number of county residences belonging to the merchant gang, and also named inns.

In addition to the basic fee, it is really convenient to use the inn's warehouse and manger cheaply after being introduced by the merchants. Wang Yidu wondered if he would build a similar facility in his hometown, but he still needed the support of many people.

The next day.

"Oh, it's Zhang Derong who rebuilt the three counties, you are noble and in the middle of the state, and you came here in person, it's really frustrating."

"It's really a false praise, I haven't known Uncle Wang for a year or two, but don't call it that."

Early the next morning, Zhang Ji came to the county residence where the head of the Wang family was located to discuss the establishment of a merchant branch in Hanyang County. Although the county residence to which the merchant gang belongs is called an inn, it can be said that it is specially built to assist business travel, and naturally there are special rooms suitable for discussion.

Zhang Ji carefully communicated with Uncle Wang about the establishment of the business gang branch, and the head of the Wang family felt that this idea was very good, but the family's assets were only slightly saved, and he was going to marry a daughter this year, so he really didn't have the confidence to take on this responsibility.

Zhang Ji said that the establishment of branches and inns in other places is funded by the local government, and the merchants of the four seas have contributed manpower and trade routes, while the Hanyang side has considered the cooperation between the two sides for a long time, and can contribute half of each.

But the head of the Wang family still hesitated, after all, their family still had to see what Yang, Zhao, Jiang, and Yin meant in the local area, and even the Liang family, who had considerable family resources, also had people who served as officials in the county, and he was indeed a little afraid to come forward.

"Father, promise to come down." Wang Yi's voice came from outside the house.

"Ah, who?"

The members of the merchant gang standing at the door were all the elite of the Xiayang Branch, and they used to be soldiers of the military logistics department.

In the past few months, he has also been responsible for a type of task called a dart, which includes the protection of people and property. However, none of them could notice that Wang Yi had already arrived at the door.

When Wang Yi walked in, several people were not only not charmed by her temperament and posture, but they involuntarily felt a sense of trembling in their bodies, if it weren't for Zhang Ji's kind face, several people might not be able to control their instinct to make defensive actions.

The head of the Wang family took the lead and said, "I am discussing important matters with Zhizhong, you can handle the daily goods and security." Besides, you will go to Zhao's house soon, and there is no capable person in the family who can take on this matter. ”

Zhang Ji heard it clearly, Wang Yi said that he wanted to agree, he didn't know how Wang Yi heard the details of the discussion from a distance, but he would definitely not let go of this opportunity.

So he said gently, "I have long heard that the daughter of the Wang family is the most powerful heroine in the northwest counties, but I didn't expect to be so young and promising, heroic." ”

Wang Yi Shili said, "The little queen is different, I have seen and ruled the state." ”

Zhang Ji was less than thirty years old at this time, and he admired the heroes in the rivers and lakes very much, and asked directly, "I heard that last year in Beidi County, there was a woman who killed sixty robbers by herself in order to protect the property of the convoy, I don't know if Wang Xiaoniang did it?" ”

Wang Yi was not proud or complacent, and replied solemnly, "In fact, I killed fifty-eight thieves, and the other two were killed by my maidservant." In order to make up, the friends in the rivers and lakes said that there were sixty people. ”

Everyone in the house was amazed, this is too powerful.

The head of the Wang family took it and said

"My daughter is not good at female workers and embroidery, but she likes books and martial arts, and she has a little ability in terms of skills, eyesight, and hearing. She did business with me all over the world for the sake of her family's mundane affairs, and made a little reputation with her martial arts. But after all, the most important thing is the importance of filial piety after marriage. ”

As soon as Zhang Ji heard it, he understood what was going on, it seemed that if the Wang family married this daughter, it was estimated that the outside business would not be so easy in the future.
