Li Yuanhao, the founding emperor of Dahua, raised troops to drive away the Tatars, and he was full of spirit, and he took the world as the emperor. Put forward the Dahua national policy and the royal ancestral motto: no harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies!

The capital of Dahua was set in the north, which was the capital. As a result, the capital became the political center of Dahua.

The northern part of Dahua is called the gate of the country, but in fact it borders the grassland, and is harassed and plundered by nomads all the year round, and there are constant wars.

In addition, compared with the south, the geographical location, climate, water and other conditions in the north are poor, so the economy of the north is much inferior to that of the south.

But where the capital is located, the place of power. It means that the taxes of the south, the food material, etc., must go north.

The main transportation route between the south and the north is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which starts from Beijing in the north and Hangzhou in the south. It passes through North Zhili, Shandong, South Zhili, Zhejiang, etc. The communication connects the five major water systems of Haihe River, Yellow River, Huai River, Yangtze River and Qiantang River, with a total length of nearly 2,000 kilometers!

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is a great miracle of mankind, which has been completed by thousands of years, tens of millions of people, and several dynasties.

During the Dahua Dynasty, the Grand Canal tended to be perfected, and it was the main artery of Dahua and the lifeline connecting the north and south of Dahua.

Every year, the southern tax silver, grain, weaving silk fabrics, royal, official and civil silk, satin, yarn, Luo, cloth, tea, porcelain and other countless materials arrive in the capital through the Grand Canal.

The bamboo and wood floating rivers in Hu, Guangzhou, Sichuan, Guizhou and other places go down, enter the canal to the north, and are also transported to the capital to repair palaces and build temples.

Dahua North also has the needs of the south, cattle, sheep, ginseng, leather and so on back to the south. In addition, cotton cultivation is very common in the north, and the developed textile industry is in the south, so cotton is transported south and cloth goes north.

But in general, the total amount of material in the north is not as good as that in the south, so the empty ships from the north return to the south mostly.

The greater and more the material flow of goods, the place is often a prosperous place. Open the map of Dahua, the cities along the Grand Canal, especially the cities in the south, are the richest and most prosperous cities in Dahua.

Hangzhou, Suzhou, Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, Huai'an......

Jiangxi is not on the side of the Grand Canal, but it is located inland. The people have been recuperating for hundreds of years, and it is bordered by Huguang, Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong, and is definitely a commercial mobilization and transfer center.

Therefore, Jiangxi can also be called rich. There is another criterion for whether a place is rich or not, that is, the quantity and quality of literati. In this regard, Jiangxi has completely crushed other provinces. The most awesome thing is that in a certain year of Dahua's imperial examination, 470 Jinshi were taken, and Jiangxi occupied 110! And the top seven are all from Jiangxi. This record is unprecedented, and it has never been since.

The entire Dahua Dynasty, so there is a saying: Hanlin Duoji water, courtiers half Jiangxi!

With this achievement, isn't Jiangxi rich? Since they are rich, there are merchants who come and go.

A few days ago, the floods in Jiangxi led to the shortage of porcelain in various parts of Dahua and even overseas. Scarcity is expensive, so the price of porcelain is rising outside Jiangxi.

On the contrary, Jiangxi itself has caused a backlog of porcelain due to flooding, and the price of porcelain has fallen endlessly in Jiangxi.

Jiangxi's porcelain can't go out, and at the same time, other goods can't come in. Some time ago, the only passage route allowed only the transportation of food, medicinal herbs and other relief materials through the passage.

Therefore, whoever can traffic goods to Nanchang in time will be able to make a lot of money.

Now the floods in Jiangxi are basically over, the tide has receded, the official roads have resumed traffic, and various checkpoints have been relaxed.

Merchants from all over the south of the Yangtze River began to raise goods and deploy guards.

Zhu Zhiyuan, a businessman from Hangzhou, has a unique vision and strong execution. In Hangzhou, it is a famous big businessman. Hangzhou is a place where the world's wealthy businessmen gather, and it is not easy to make a name for itself here. Zhu Zhiyuan's business ability and economic strength can be seen.

This time, he judged the end time of the flood in advance, and maintained close contact with Nanchang related households through carrier pigeons, and had prepared the goods to Nanchang in advance. Although this will cause a backlog of money, there is a risk of hoarding. But you can also get ahead of others, it depends on how you choose.

So when others were still distributing and stocking up, Zhu Zhiyuan was already making the final preparations before the shipment.

Generally speaking, with Zhu Zhiyuan's current wealth, this kind of escorted goods does not require him to travel in person. He just needs to be at home to figure it out.

But the recent news from Jiangxi is too special to attract Zhu Zhiyuan. It was initially learned that a UOB had appeared in Nanchang, Jiangxi. This is an industry that has never been heard of before, and with the news of UOB coming in, Zhu Zhiyuan couldn't sit still. This discerning businessman, the more he thinks about it, the more frightened he becomes! He sensed that there was a huge world hidden in the bank, which he didn't even dare to imagine!

So he had to go to Nanchang in person and see the bank! Look at what kind of character Qin Feng is!

Therefore, Zhu Zhiyuan must go to Nanchang in person, and the head of the family travels, and the natural specifications are not small.

Thousands of wagons, mules carrying goods and providing supplies along the way.

Three hundred heavily armed guards, two of whom were knights.

Six or seven hundred young men accompanied the journey, transshipment of goods along the way, and dispensing. In the event of bandits, these young men can also take up arms, use vehicle obstacles, and cooperate with the escort in battle. The combat power is two points stronger than the rabble of bandits.

This level of protection is theoretically absolutely safe. boundless

The heads of the three cloth guilds in Nanchang united to go south to do business, and the scale of the guards was no more than that.

In the end, Jiangnan, there are still many fewer bandits and bandits than other places. This is a head-killing business, and most people will not participate in it except that they are really desperate. On the other hand, most of the people who are bandits in this rich interior are evil people.

This kind of large caravan travel, at the beginning of the full load of goods, such as to Huzhou, will sell some Hangzhou merchant goods. Purchased some Huzhou specialties. All the way, all the way to sell, all the way to buy local substances. When they arrived in Nanchang, the caravan was still full of goods.

The same is true for cattle and sheep trafficking in the north, where caravans of herders set out from the grasslands, possibly tens of thousands of cattle and sheep. If you go all the way, you can sell all the way. Several families sold out their cattle and sheep, bought the materials they needed, formed a small team on their own, and returned to the grassland. Others continued south. In the end, there may only be a few hundred cattle and sheep in Nanchang.

The further you go, the higher the selling price.

The grassland people can be freely combined at will, and when they go out, they are more united than the Chinese. They will not run away from the enemy, and even hope to meet bandits when their hands are itchy.

Dahua merchants can't do it, they won't accept small caravans at will, in case they are bandits?

Not a bandit? My guards are for you to use for nothing, am I panicking?

Pay? How much to pay? Since you pay, in case of danger and loss, who is it? Therefore, the dart board that appeared later, the charge guard, also has a rule, the goods are robbed, and the dart board must be responsible!

The Great Chinese are shrewd and think about everything. The problem is that the more comprehensive, the more divergent.

Looking back, I'm already a big caravan, so why bother with you about bargaining? That's it, it's neat.

Unless the official takes office and goes along the way. Rich families, officials and their families accompanied him. No problem.

In short, the caravan could not eat, and the stranger who could not see it would not accept it.

The only exception, and the most welcoming of the caravanserais, was Lang Zhong, the doctor.

Caravanserai travel are often measured in months. When you go out, life is inconvenient, you are not accustomed to water and soil, and you often encounter various minor diseases. Physical suffering is still secondary, if you lose your life, wouldn't it be wronged?

If you have a doctor, you will be more protected!

Usually when traveling in large caravans, they will bring their own doctor. If you meet a doctor who asks to come along the way, isn't that just right?!

Dahua's regular doctors all have medical discs, and with this, they can open their own museums and accept apprentices. No, that is Jianghu Langzhong, which is equivalent to operating without a license, the patient dies in your hands, and people have the right to sue you at the yamen!

There are spies, that is, they are on duty with a certificate, and the patient dies in your hands, that is damned. Even if your skills are not as good as others, it is an accident to treat people to death. In the clear.

If you want to take a ride, you have to have a medical dish.

The caravan that found Zhu Zhiyuan and asked to accompany him was a young man with a medical disc. Sword eyebrows, wide nose, elegant air. Carrying a bag and a medical box.

Whenever a caravan accepts outsiders, it must be approved by the head of the house.

Zhu Zhiyuan's first impression of young people is very good. It's just that this person looks too young, only 22 years old! Too young to look like a doctor with a medical disc.

Zhu Zhiyuan carefully looked at the medical disc in his hand, a native of Shuntianfu, Zhang Wangzhi, 22 years old...... A family of doctors. Zhu Zhiyuan nodded secretly, it turned out to be a family of doctors, which can be explained. No problem with the medical dish. It's true.

Of course it's true, this is the blank medical disc that his father, Zhang Jingyuan of the Right Judge of the Tai Hospital, took from the Tai Hospital, and Zhang Guangbei filled it in himself.

There are several such medical discs, and Zhang Guangbei still has several on him. The names are all different. is the age, he has also inflated, Zhang Guangbei is actually only 19 years old, and he is 20 years old.

Walk to a place and change a medical dish, he thinks that by doing so, he will come and go without a trace.

After a deep conversation with his father that night, on the third day, Zhang Guangbei quietly left home.

Father wants to sacrifice himself for the common people in the world, this is the right way!

I can't be a burden to my father, but I want to be my father's hope. Fulfill my father's fame! Confucian education, life is precious, and fame is even more precious.

I still want to live, continue my father's bloodline, and carry forward the Zhang family's medical skills! spread his father's choice and fame. I also want to find the third brother......

Overnight, Zhang Guangbei grew up.

After leaving home, Zhang Guangbei stayed outside for a few days and followed a caravan to Nanzhili.

Then followed another caravan to Hangzhou. He originally wanted to stay in Hangzhou, but Hangzhou has a prosperous trade route and a tourist attraction in Dahua, so if he meets someone from the capital, he is afraid of revealing his identity.

Coincidentally, he met Zhu Zhiyuan's caravan and was about to set off for Nanchang, Zhang Guangbei had no goal, and he thought it would be good to go to Nanchang to see. I went to contact him immediately, and it didn't matter if it didn't work out.
