"I don't know where to go?" Liu Ping looked at Fan Xian with a smile, thinking to himself that businessmen are not all mercenary, this Boss Fan is too enthusiastic about himself.

"Mr. Pan can show a clear path for the next, and I am grateful for the next." Liu Ping was still polite, wanting to see what medicine he bought in the gourd.

Maybe it was Liu Ping's respect that gave Fan Xian confidence, he straightened his waist and touched his chin, and smiled: "I have been traveling from south to north for many years, and I have an account room under my hands, but because I am too old, I stayed in Xuzhou this time and didn't let him come out."

Since Dehua is literate and literate, why don't you come to me first and act as a bookkeeper, I can pay 2,000 yuan a month, and I usually provide food and shelter, I don't know what Dehua thinks? ”

After speaking, he stared at Liu Ping blankly.

"Me? Mr. Bookkeeper? Liu Ping couldn't help but look at Fan Xian with wide eyes, he originally thought that this Fan boss was a talent, and he wanted to dig Xu Du to make money for him, but he didn't expect this old Fan to also start the idea of digging him.

Liu Ping was stunned for a while.

Fan Xian felt that Liu Ping must have a burden in his heart and couldn't let go, so he continued to offer conditions to tempt: "Dehua knows that my owner is Mi Zizhong, the No. 1 wealthy businessman in Xuzhou?" At this time, you have been engaged in Xuzhou Mu Liu under the account of Jun, as long as Dehua has outstanding ability, he will settle down in Xuzhou in the future, but the owner has a word.

What's more, Liu Yuanjun's account loves to befriend Zhang Yide to the scribes, and the relationship with the owner is irreversible, if Dehua is recommended by the owner and appreciated by General Zhang, it is unknown whether he will be able to embark on a career in the future. ”

Listening to Fan Xian's endless lobbying, Liu Ping turned around and looked at Lu Qi with a strange expression, thinking that if he really took his subordinates to see Zhang Fei, it was estimated that the goods would be eaten alive and skinned Miss Lu.

After all, if Lu Qi had been nimble in his hands and feet, Zhang Fei's life would have been gone.

Lu Qi remembered what happened in Pengcheng, and couldn't help but blush and burn.

Zhou Cang, who was next to him, heard Zhang Yide's three words, but he couldn't help but tremble and shudder.

"Dehua, okay or not, you should give a happy word."

Fan Xian saw that Liu Ping had never agreed, and he was secretly angry in his heart, it is said that the conditions he offered were already quite generous, not only to take them in, but also to pay them, and to have more opportunities to be able to become a leader in the future, Liu Ping's master and servant are all so downtrod that they go to the grassland to join their aunt, what is there to refuse?

However, Fan Xian also knew that the Han Dynasty had emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce for hundreds of years, and the vast majority of scholars maintained a ridiculous demeanor, preferring to starve to death rather than be ashamed to be in the company of merchants.

What's more, it may be difficult to accept letting Liu Ping work under Shangjia.

Since this is the case, Fan Xian didn't have so much patience, and was about to get up to see off the guests, but he didn't expect Liu Ping to give a salute, and said earnestly: "Thank you for your appreciation, and you must go all out in the future." ”

"Dehua, it's great that you can agree," Fan Xian smiled happily.

"Master, do you really want to be a bookkeeper?" This time it was Tai Shi Ci's turn to be puzzled, this dignified general of Pingxi, the Marquis of Pingling Pavilion, actually worked as an account for a businessman, which really refreshed his cognition of Taishi Ziyi.

He still remembered that it was Lao Zhang who was mistaken for the account office last time, but that person had been killed by Lao Zhang.

"What? Isn't it appropriate? Liu Ping turned around and glared at Tai Shici.

"Suitable, suitable, naturally suitable as the master," Tai Shici smiled, thinking that you are the great Si Nong of the current dynasty, and the finances of the world are under your control, and they are also counted as the accounts of the imperial court.

"Since Dehua agrees, then we are a family," Fan Xian was very happy to hear Liu Ping agree, and at the same time he was dissatisfied with Tai Shici's questioning just now, and said, "It's just that this slave under your command will inevitably talk a little more."

In this way, I will go to the grassland this time, and the owner will arrange three hundred guards to be led by a general named Wang Heng, and you, the slave, will be arranged to be used under General Wang for the time being. ”

"It's all up to the benefactor," Liu Ping nodded solemnly.

Anyway, his main purpose is to follow the caravan to find Qubei, and it doesn't matter what he does.

As for Tai Shici, who can lead it except for him Liu Ping?

Fan Xian didn't realize this, since he had become Liu Ping's benefactor, he didn't need to speak politely, so he turned to Tai Shici and said sternly: "As a slave, you should have the appearance of a slave, how can you interject at will when the master speaks?"

Under General Wang, if you want to say so many words again, annoy General Wang, be careful that your life is not guaranteed. ”

"The little one, the little one knows that it's wrong," Tai Shi Ci trembled with fright, which made Lu Qi next to him want to laugh when he saw it.

"Benefactor, you went to the grassland to do business, and you brought so many people with you, isn't it smooth on this road?" Liu Ping asked innocently.

Its practical toes can also understand that this army is in chaos, there is no peaceful place in the world, Fan Xian's caravan walks with goods all day long, there is no need for bandits, and they can rob hungry people when they encounter them.

That's why he brought so many people to protect him.

"Dehua doesn't know," Fan Xian said with a smile from the old god: "Let's go further, until the grassland is extremely safe, the front is the territory of the King of Poison, we have already paid the money to buy the road, and the King Yu will protect us all the way."

"Yu Poison?" Liu Ping couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, he remembered this name in the history books.

This Yu Poison is the general of Zhang Yan, the leader of the Montenegrin Army, who once led more than 100,000 people to attack Wei County and Dong County, and was defeated by his father-in-law Cao Cao and retreated to Jizhou, and was defeated by Yuan Shaojun.

In the end, Yu Poison led the remnants of the army to defeat the generals, retreated to a high mountain called Tiger Ridge in the Lugu Mountain, and built a village on the top of the mountain, and since then Tiger Ridge has been changed to "Tiger Village", also called "Yu Poison Village", which is recorded in the official history.

Unexpectedly, this Yu Poison was so depressed that he hid in the place where Yuan Shao and Zhang Yang's forces crossed the border and collected the toll.

At this time, Fan Xian smiled slightly and said, "If I can't buy these roads, even if I have more tribal guards, I won't be able to do business in the world."

I send 500,000 yuan to King Yu every year, and his subordinates will protect us all the way from here to the grassland, so we don't have to worry about the slightest snack. ”

"You pay so much money to buy roads a year, do you still have any money to make when you go to the grassland?" Liu Ping couldn't help but be intrigued.

"The so-called wealth and danger are sought," Fan Xian looked like he was holding a pearl of wisdom, feeling that Liu Ping and him were already a family, and talked eloquently: "It is better to buy a passage with money than to be robbed and have nothing to return to."

What's more, the wool is out of the sheep, and King Yu is entrenched here, and only a few caravans can pass through, so aren't the goods we transported from the grassland more valuable? ”

After listening to Fan Xian's business experience, Liu Ping couldn't help but be impressed by him.

The more scarce things are, the more precious they are, and the more scarce they are, the more buyers there are.

Yu Poison is equivalent to teaming up with Fan Xian and others to monopolize this business line, which can naturally make Fan Xian's caravan who has paid the toll a lot of money.

"The benefactor is really a business wizard!" Liu Ping exclaimed, and made up his mind that he must dig up talents like Lao Fan to Xu Du and serve him.

"After the next Tao Zhu Gong, how can such a small account not be calculated?" Fan smiled knowingly.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Fan Li, the doctor of the Yue Kingdom, helped Wang Shang Goujian to restore the country, and after the success of the rapids, he retired bravely, resigned and settled in the Taoqiu of the Song Kingdom, and called himself "Tao Zhu Gong", during which he became a huge rich man in business three times, and scattered his family wealth, and was respected as a business saint by the people of the later generations.

After this Fan Xian actually called himself Fan Li, Liu Ping naturally found it difficult to distinguish the true from the fake.

The Han Dynasty was a dynasty of great fame, and it became a trend to cling to the sages and celebrities, and even Cao Teng claimed to be the founder of the country, Cao Shen, who knows if it is true or not.

At this time, suddenly an attendant ran in from outside the door in a panic, and said to Fan Xian: "Oh no, there is a caravan in front that has been robbed, and it is said that it belongs to the Wu family in Shudi." ”

"What's going on?" Fan Xian's face changed suddenly, and he stood up suddenly.

The Wu family in Shu is the Wu Yi family under the account of Liu Zhang, the current Shu lord, which is also the richest in the world, and the Xuzhou Mi family is not too much.

It is impossible for such a wealthy caravan not to pay the passage money for poison, but now that it has been robbed, Fan Xian can't help but feel a little uneasy.

"Where are they?" Fan Xian hurriedly said: "Call General Wang Heng and protect me to have a look." ”

"No!"

Fan Xian hurriedly walked out, and Liu Ping and Tai Shici and a few others also followed, wanting to see what reason Yu Yu collected money and robbed.

In fact, no matter what, the Black Mountain Army under Yu Poison has been disabled by Yuan Shao, and Liu Ping just hugged the grass to beat the rabbit and used it to let his subordinates "Tiger and Leopard Not Ride" practice their hands.

Although he has no horses under his command, after all, he is the elite of the Cao family, and it should not be a problem to clean up the poison.

Anyway, the caravan can be robbed by Yu Poison, Liu Ping brought more money than the caravan, and Yu Poison will inevitably rob it, and I am afraid this battle must be fought.

When a few people arrived outside, they saw a tall and mighty man beside Fan Xian, who was probably Wang Heng, the leader of the army formed by this group.

The group walked out of the door of the inn and was led by the attendants to another courtyard.

I saw more than 30 people in the courtyard, sitting on the ground in horror and embarrassment, and in the middle there was an old man in his fifties, with empty eyes, looking like he wanted to cry without tears.

"Mr. Wu, who are you?" Fan Xian was puzzled and arched his hand at the old man, he knew that person, his identity was similar to him, and he was also the person responsible for the Wu family's business.

"Hey, that Yu poison went back on his word, didn't talk about his credit, robbed all my goods, and killed a lot of me," the old man Wu sighed, shook his head and said: "In the future, the trade route of the grassland will no longer work." ”

"You didn't pay the money for the road to King Yu?" Fan Xian asked in surprise.

"Why didn't you pay it?" Old Man Wu glared and gritted his teeth and said, "500,000 yuan a year, not a single child is missing." ”

"It doesn't make sense," Fan Xian heard this, pinched his chin and muttered: "King Yu has occupied this place for four or five years, we pay him money every year, and after he collects the money, he keeps us safe, and there has never been a mistake, how can he suddenly turn his face?"

If he is like this, who will dare to come in the future with our caravans? It doesn't look like the king is a man who doesn't have such a vision. ”

Fan Xian asked Old Man Wu again: "Can you see clearly, is it the person who robbed you of the king?" Mo is not someone else's impersonation. ”

"It's not just Yu Poison's people," Old Man Wu's eyes widened, and he said hatefully, "It's Yu Poison himself who leads the army, and this is what I have seen with my own eyes." ”

Hearing what Old Man Wu said, Fan Xian put his hands behind his back, frowned and was stunned for a long time, and after a long while, he said to himself: "What happened to cause King Yu to kill chickens and take eggs." ”

Liu Ping also felt a little puzzled, judging from Yu Poison's Tiger Village, he planned to cultivate it deeply.

At this border, the people are scarce, and the only thing that can bring money to Yu Yao is the caravan that is trying to move the force in the crack area, and he has been operating on this for several years, why would he suddenly change his previous strategy of win-win cooperation?

Liu Ping secretly turned around and whispered to Tai Shici: "Send scouts to visit, how many people there are in the Yu Poison Army, if there are not many, let Lao Zhang directly send troops to exterminate them." ”

"Okay," Tai Shi Ci rubbed his hands and said eagerly: "Why don't you replace Lao Zhang, and I will go to clear the poison army?" ”

"Don't forget, you are now General Wang Heng's general," Liu Ping said with a smile covering his mouth.

"It's a slave," Zhou Cang suddenly grimaced and emphasized beside him.

Tai Shici pressed his fists with his left and right hands, his knuckles rattled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You wait for me!" ”

Fan Xian couldn't get any useful information here, so he led the group back to the post house where they lived, and walked around the house restlessly.

Yu Poison suddenly turned his face, which obviously caught him by surprise.

Since Yu Poison can rob and kill the Wu family's caravan, he will inevitably rob and kill them and his party, and it is extremely dangerous to move forward.

However, his cart was full of goods to be sold to the grassland, and if he did not have such a thing, he would exchange these goods for materials on the grassland with the big pawn households and transport them back to the interior, which would be equivalent to two incomes.

But now he doesn't go to the grassland, and decisively transports the goods in the car back, which is safe, but then not only will he lose two incomes, but he will also lose money after eating, drinking, and Lazar along the way, and the toll money handed over to Yu Yu will be paid in vain, which he will never want to see as a businessman.

"How could King Yu suddenly turn his face and deny it?" Fan Xian stood still with his hands behind his back, looked ahead with empty eyes, and muttered, "Do you really want to go back?"

Someone, send someone smarter to the front to investigate, and it is best to meet the king in person and ask about it. ”

An attendant hurriedly went to make arrangements.

At this time, Wang Heng, the leader of that part, said loudly and categorically beside him: "Fan Gong, you can't go back no matter what."

The head of the Mi family sent the last general to protect the caravan, even if it turned his face against the poison, his soldiers could not support more than a thousand people, and the three hundred parts led by the last general could be defeated by one enemy and ten, which was enough to wipe out the drug thief. ”

This Wang Heng is also a well-known general in the Xu Yang area, and he has just been hired by Mi Zhu with a large amount of money to protect the caravans that the Mi clan walks everywhere.

This is the first time he has come to the north, if he retreats back in fright when he hears about the drug robbery, then what's the point of Mi Zhu Li's appointment to him?

"Are you really sure?" Fan Xian looked at Wang Heng suspiciously.

Fan Xian's business world relies on money to open the way, and he doesn't know anything about marching and fighting.

"Fan Gong can rest assured," Wang Heng patted his chest and said: "There is an end in the general, and the caravan is foolproof." ”
