Zheng Zuliang plans to go to the northwest, but now that the times are peaceful and prosperous, food prices are getting worse and worse, and there is no longer such a hot scene as in previous years. He is a shrewd businessman, and a shrewd businessman can smell every hint of making money, and now he has his eyes set on the northwest.

Since Emperor Taizu started there, there has not been a day of stopping. These party members in the northwest are very crazy, and whoever provokes them, they will take revenge frantically, and they will never die. Even the self-deceitful Tubo people have never bargained for anything on them.

Now his family business in Xinghua is booming, but it has not grown for some years, and all kinds of business channels in this small place have been distributed by various families, and if you want to get a piece of the pie, you have to work hard, and the small place is not worth the loss, and it is not the profit of Jinshan Yinshan.

He understands the truth that if you don't advance, you will retreat, and now he is still in the prime of life, and his family's family business is passable. But his son Lixian, no, everyone on the road is called a stone, and he is really like a stone, and he has not inherited his strengths at all. At the moment, I can still hold it up, but after a while, my dazzle will fail, and it will take a few years to lose these family businesses, and it will definitely be very soon.

Stone has experienced some things in the past year, and he is much more sensible than before, but it is still not enough, compared with a few old foxes in the county, he is greener than a rabbit. What he can do is to make money now, and he can still work hard, fight hard, and lay a golden mountain for the stone, so that he can't be defeated even if he wants to, so that he can go with peace of mind after a hundred years.

It is said that now that the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, the whole world is peaceful and prosperous, but many people do not think so, and a common feeling is that it is becoming more and more difficult to make money now. Rice was not valuable, silk could not be sold, and even the porcelain business was very weak.

Wealth is in danger, if you don't take this trip, I'm afraid you won't be able to make a few dollars. The northwest is now full of people outflow, all kinds of resources are quite in short supply, and inconspicuous things in the southeast can be sold at a good price in the northwest, and the most worthless is the head.

Now the northwest is still cold and freezing, and it takes nearly two months to walk on the road, and when you reach the northwest, almost all the ice and snow are civilized, and the climate is pleasant. Zheng Zuliang picked an auspicious day, the twenty-first day of the first month, and the yellow calendar said that it is appropriate to observe the ceremony, Nacai, travel, and make an alliance, which are all good times to do business.

Fengshan is the only place for Xinghua to go to the north, and Shi sent him to Fengshan with his father. Zheng Zuliang first went to visit his eldest brother Zheng Yiqian, Zheng Yiqian looked at his brother-in-law, he felt very uncomfortable, he had fame, and his career was more prosperous than himself, but he still had the strength to never admit defeat.

The relationship between the two is very delicate, and it doesn't matter if it's good, it's still because of the relationship between the in-laws. After Zheng Zuliang developed, the relationship between the two became more complicated. Zheng Zuliang is a wonderful person, he knows what his eldest brother thinks, and he has tried to come and go as little as possible over the years, but during the New Year's holidays, passing by, he still will not fall behind in the number of courtesies that should be fulfilled.

Zheng Zuliang came to Zheng Yiqian's house to sit for a while, and some of them didn't talk for a while, and they didn't say anything substantial. The wives of the two people hugged each other and nagged each other for a long time, Shi didn't plan to go out with his father, he sent Zheng Zuliang to Fengshan, his uncle's house, he was about to go back, and the family also needed someone to take care of it.

When Zheng Zuliang walked to Fengshan, he went to Wanda to visit Liang Chuan, I don't know why, he always felt that this young man could help Shishi. There are now some bamboo baskets in the Wanda store, placed in the corner, the store is idle enough to fight flies, and there is no shadow of Liang Chuan, only Ye Xiaochai is alone in the store.

"Where's your host?"

Ye Xiaochai knew Zheng Zuliang, a big official who left a deep impression on Liang Chuan's family when he opened his business. "Where is our owner, he is usually not in the store."

"Dad, I know where the third brother's family lives, do you want to go to his house for a walk?"

"Yes, let's go."

Zheng Zuliang's trip to the northwest to be honest, he has no bottom in his heart, Liang Chuan is a person who has seen a lot of things, and has a very unique view on some world affairs.

He hadn't been to the north bank of Nanxi in Fengshan for many years, and even his eldest brother couldn't look down on this land, so he didn't have the heart to spend it here. His eldest brother bought a large tract of land on the north shore in his name, and he was exempted from many exorbitant taxes as a man.

But I didn't expect that this land could not grow rice, because there was no stable water source, and it took a lot of physical strength for tenant farmers to go to the river to fetch water. Tenant farmers are not worried about having no place to farm, the income from farming is too low now, they would rather go to Qingyuan County or go north to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to do some manual work, and they can earn more money a year than in the field.

He came to the north bank of Nanxi in Fengshan today, and this magical land gave him a completely different scene. The original land was bare, and people would only grow some sorghum or dry wheat, but these crops were pitifully harvested in comparison with rice in the south. People may want to plant some vegetables to supplement it, and they will never grow other crops again.

Now a large area of land here is planted with sugar cane, which grows almost a foot long in the ground, and the sugarcane leaves are green, but the sugarcane stalks are green and black. The trees grow straight in the ridges of the field, neatly and neatly. Growing sugarcane requires a lot of water to be watered constantly, and several tenant farmers carry buckets of water from Nanxi to bring water up from Nanxi, and pick a few hundred meters of road to the fields to water the fields.

I didn't expect that there are still people willing to take care of the crops like this, if it weren't for the fields that can divert water from the ridges of the fields, who would be so industrious in this place now, farming for the landlords. Not only the farmers who grow sugarcane, but also the farmers who grow other crops seem to have a spirit that farmers in other places do not have, which makes people feel very hopeful and energetic.

Could it be that these changes have something to do with this San Lang, at least he knows that these sugarcane fields were planted at Liang Chuan's suggestion.

The stone led his father all the way to the He family's ancestral hall, where He Baozheng's house was relatively bright, and as for this ancestral hall, in his opinion, it could be regarded as in disrepair. He knew that Liang Chuan's family was building a new house, and he also knew that he was temporarily living under someone else's fence, but he didn't expect Liang Chuan to live in such a dilapidated house. I still sighed in my heart, sure enough, the prime minister sent it to Zhou Mo, and the general sent it to the soldiers, this kind of person is from the recklessness, and he has to suffer hardships and not be moved, so that he can achieve a great cause.

Liang Chuan was chopping firewood in the yard, and when he looked up, he saw Zheng Zuliang!

"Master Zheng, why are you here! There's nothing to entertain you in the Humble House. ”

Zheng Zuliang likes Liang Chuan's temperament that is neither humble nor arrogant, men should be like this, don't bully young people and be poor.

"I may have to go out on a long trip, temporarily passing by Fengshan, thinking that you are here, I came to see you, a few days ago your house was on the auspicious day of Liang, I was going to personally come to help you the scene, but today I want to go out, many trivial things in the store still need me to arrange, so let the carp fairy come for me, don't be surprised."

"Where is Master Zheng, this is not the case, it's just that the last Lantern Festival, I couldn't resist Yuzhi's central invitation, and brought her to the Lantern Festival, fortunately, there was nothing wrong, Master Zheng, don't blame me."

"Yuzhi's girl is used to being wild, I can't discipline you and make trouble for you, after I came back this time, I severely reprimanded her, locked her at home and banned her feet. When I come back from this trip, I will find her a good home and let others discipline her well. ”

When Liang Chuan heard this, he thought to himself, stinky girl, you can't blame me, you begged me to take you to the Lantern Festival at the beginning, but your father found out, it's none of my business.

Liang Chuan took Zheng Zuliang to the inner hall to sit, and Yi Niang made some herbal tea. These herbal teas were also picked up by Liang Chuan outside, basked in the sun for a few days, and threw them into a hot pot to boil, not to mention, the taste is good, cool and fireless. In particular, a few Luocheng masters did heavy work, and after drinking this tea, they were full of praise, and kept asking Liang Chuan where they picked this herb, and they also got a little back to soak in water and drink it in the future.

"Is Master Zheng going to the northwest on this trip?"

Zheng Zuliang tasted the herbal tea of the Liang Chuan family, which had a unique flavor, but he had never drunk this kind of tea. Liang Chuan spoke first, and as soon as he spoke, he went straight to the point.

"San Lang doesn't know if he has a high opinion, so give me some advice." Zheng Zuliang said it seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, and there was a feeling of passing it by.

Liang Chuan frowned and said, "Master Zheng, if you want to make war money, it is the most chaotic to go to the northwest now, but if you want to do some stable business honestly on this trip, I advise you not to go." ”

Liang Chuan's words were not shocking, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Zheng Zuliang was shocked into a cold sweat. Zheng Zuliang asked in surprise: "San Lang, why did you say this, isn't it that the Li family in the northwest is preparing to provoke an incident and start a war with my Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Liang Chuan will definitely not tell him that not only will there be a war, but also that the Li family will establish its own dynasty and stand with the Great Song Dynasty. But the wheel of history is like this, and Liang Chuan can't change it.

Liang Chuan could only say tactfully: "I have been analyzing the current situation for a long time, and now there are more and more displaced people from the northwest, have you seen some tenant farmers planting sugarcane on the way you just came?" ”

"I have seen that these tenant farmers are all runaways from the northwest and south, no wonder I see them working so hard, and I still think that they must not be our local tenants, otherwise they would not be so hard."

"Yes, Master Zheng, you didn't guess wrong, they are all tenant farmers from the northwest."

Zheng Zuliang's heart was a little shaken, "San Lang, do you conclude that the northwest is not peaceful based on this?" ”

Liang Chuan had no other reason, and others were suspicious when he said too much, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

Zheng Zuliang thought about it, what Liang Chuan said was not unreasonable, but based on this alone, it was concluded that the northwest military disaster would happen again, and Zheng Zuliang did not dare to agree. The Great Song Dynasty and the Northern Liao have been out of war for a long time, and after dozens of prosperous times, it is now the land where the country is strong and the people are rich, and the northwest is a projectile.

Liang Chuan took a sip of tea, and the corner of his eyes swept the contemplative Zheng Zuliang, it was estimated that he would not believe his words, so he could only say again: "Master Zheng, if you go north on this trip, if you meet a young man named Xin Wuxian on the way, go with him, he is extraordinary, I believe you can take care of you when you encounter trouble!" ”

"But the one who danced the sword with you on stage that day!"

"Yes, Master Zheng has a good memory!"

"Good! San Lang,I also have something to trust.,After I'm gone.,If the stone encounters any trouble in Xinghua.,You can take care of it.,Just help him take care of it more.。。 ”
