The potter's heart was also somewhat puzzled, and he came to Qihe County to find Zhen Mi to ask for winter items used by the 100,000 army, but by chance he met Zhen Mi when he was halfway up to avoid hail.

Isn't this a bit too coincidental?

The potter didn't trust Tian Feng very much, although Tian Feng's current behavior was not suspicious, but the potter just didn't believe him.

The joint Zhen family was admonished by Tian Feng, and the pottery merchants were somewhat suspicious of this matter.

Therefore, Zhen Mi invited the potters to their Zhen family's mansion this time, and the potters felt that they should be a little more careful.

Don't let her ambush me! Isn't that a boat capsizing in a ditch?

Before coming here, the potters had sent people to investigate the area within a radius of dozens of miles in Qihe County, and did not find a large number of people who threatened him.

But even so, when the potter came to Qihe County this time, he still led a team of elite tiger guards to pretend to be merchants, in order to be foolproof. He also sent various elites to block the nearby main roads in case other sneak attack armies suddenly attacked.

It is precisely because of these protections that the potter dared to come to Qihe County in person, and also dared to go to her mansion at the invitation of Zhen Mi to make an appointment.

Along the way, Xu Chu kept following the potter's side, his eyes scanning the surroundings from time to time, cautiously staring at the surrounding environment in case of accidents.

Along the way, the people were peaceful, peaceful, and undoubted.

The Zhen family's residence in Qihe is not in the middle of the county seat, but a manor in the suburbs.

After coming to the manor, Xu Chu carefully observed the terrain, and then said to the pottery merchant: "Don't worry, the prime minister, there is nothing to do here." ”

When the potter heard this, a slightly apprehensive heart fell.

It seems that I still think a little too much.

Zhen Mi invited the potters and others to live in the west of the manor, and then said to the potters: "Mr. Tao, please rest here, the caravan of the Huns and horses will arrive here in a few days, and we will meet them together to complete this deal." ”

The potter said gratefully: "Thank you, Miss, but I have caused you trouble." ”

Zhen Mi smiled slightly: "Although the little woman knows that Mr. is the prime minister's relative, she doesn't know Mr.'s name, I don't know if Mr. can tell him?" ”

The potter said lightly: "In Hebei, before the business is decided, it is inconvenient to disclose the name...... The girl will call me Mr. Tao, just as I will call you Miss Zhen. ”

Zhen Mi said with a smile: "Mr. is careful, he is indeed a businessman, since Mr. is unwilling, the little woman is naturally not easy to force." ”

Zhen Mi's reasonableness made the pottery merchant feel very comfortable, and I have to admit that this is really a beautiful woman with emotional intelligence and wisdom.

Zhen Mi asked Tao Shangdao: "Dare to ask sir, when is the time to report your name to the little girl?" ”

The potter smiled slightly and said, "Then let's see how big the business Miss Zhen gave me!" The girl wants to buy and sell livestock rations, and Tao naturally wants to know how many livestock the girl has. ”

The pottery merchant is very witty, he plans to use this method to find out the bottom of the Zhen family in Zhongshan, the strength of the Zhen family is similar to the Mi family, and the business is located in Hebei, the horses and livestock under the name of the Zhen family are due to geographical factors, I am afraid that there are many people smacking.

Even if these livestock are not able to fight on the front line, in this era, the number of livestock needed for logistics and transportation is also a huge number.

In particular, the territory of the potters is getting bigger and bigger, and the battle lines for conquest will become longer and longer, and more and more horses will be needed to fight on the front line, and more and more livestock will be needed for transportation in the rear.

So he decided to inquire about the reality of the Zhen family, which was the time when he had just made a decision.

Seeing that the potter asked him about his business, Zhen Mi lowered his head and thought for a while, and said with a smile: "It's not impossible, so let's do it, the little sister will sort it out tomorrow and show it to Mr., so that Mr. will probably have a preparation in his heart." ”

The potter knew that Zhen Mi was going to sort out the account information, so he immediately agreed.

Zhen Mi returned to his residence, but an entourage walked up to Zhen Mi's side and said in a low voice: "Miss, these people today don't seem to be ordinary businessmen." ”

The weather was a little cold, Zhen Mi wrapped the cloak on her body, looked up at the weather, and showed a trace of exhaustion on her face.

Of course, she knew that these people were not ordinary businessmen, and she naturally knew in her heart who this Mr. Tao was.

She knew better what she was in.

"Who do you think they are?" Zhen Mi sighed lightly and asked.

The domestic servant behind her was also a ranger, and before being accepted by the Zhen family, he was also well-informed and very discerning.

He thought carefully for a while: "Miss, the handsome man who spoke with you today, although he is personable, but he is wise and introverted, I really can't see through it, but the subordinates who followed him, although they tried their best to disguise themselves and disguised themselves as people in the caravan, I can see that those people have a killing aura, and they are not ordinary, I am afraid that they are either rangers or military people." ”

Zhen Mi sighed lightly, he could naturally see clearly what the servant said.

That's what she's here for.

Although she didn't want to do this, someone grabbed the lifeblood of her Zhen family.

But in my heart, this Mr. Tao is really a gentleman as rumored.

……

On the second day, Zhen Mi asked people to prepare a part of the account book about the Zhen family's livestock and horse farm on the border of Qingzhou, and invited the potter to come and see it.

The potter looked at the thick file that Zhen Mi had piled on the table......

But I saw that it was all dust.

The potter picked up a volume, opened it, read it carefully for a while, and couldn't help frowning.

The bookkeeping method on it dazzled the potter, and he almost didn't vomit.

On a certain day, a certain month, a hundred new horses were brought into the horse farm, and twenty-eight died of illness in the next month, and ten mares became pregnant in the next month, and then each gave birth to as many ponies as they wanted, and how many of these ponies survived......

The potter trembled when he saw it.

"W-what is this?" The potter turned his head to look at Zhen Mi in surprise and asked in surprise.

Zhen Mi looked at the potter suspiciously: "This is the account book of my Zhen family's livestock in Qingzhou." ”

The potter frowned: "You call this an account book?" Isn't this just the text of the journal? Cao Ang's is more smoothly written than yours. ”

Zhen Mi was a little unconvinced when she heard this, and looked at Tao Shang and said: "What Mr. Tao said, what the little woman has seen and observed since she became sensible is such an account book." ”

The potter blinked, recalling the original incident somewhat.

Mi Zhen also seemed to use this kind of textual bookkeeping method at the beginning, but after he handed over his tabular bookkeeping method, Mi Zhen began to implement the tabular bookkeeping method in the thirteenth line of Tao.

One is for convenience, the second is for accounting, and the third is to prevent ink greed.

This ordinary way of keeping accounts is simply a high-level crime tool for stealing, cheating, and engaging in greed.

The potter sighed softly, then took out a clean slip and drew a table on it with fine strokes.

Immediately afterwards, Tao Shang used this slip to calculate the information Zhen Mi gave him, the number of horse farms in the past two years has increased and the transaction has been recorded, and the usual cost expenditure has been handed to her.

Zhen Mi looked at it carefully for a while, but showed a surprised expression.
