Zhang Lang and the group of merchants returned to the apricot 'flower' and sat down with each other, and the prince asked Zhang Lang why he said that he couldn't find the 'tide' embroidery when he went to the 'tide' state capital at this moment. Zhang Lang originally wanted to keep this group of people and opened his mouth, but then his eyes rolled and he sighed: "You don't know, the sea was tight in the previous period, and the embroidery in the capital city of 'Chao' Prefecture was requisitioned for military funds!" ”

That prince sighed and said, "I see"! Shaking his head again and again, he looked very depressed, Zhang Lang asked: "The guest looks at his face so much, he hasn't walked this road before, right?" ”

"I haven't walked it." The prince said: "We buy 'tide' embroidery in Quanzhou by sea and land. The land route is not smooth, the walk is slow, and there is a lot of filial piety at the pass, so it is the people in the south of the city who are doing it. The people in the north of our city do the sea route - although there are pirates on the sea route, but the pirates are easier to negotiate than the government, and the reputation is better than the government, as long as they buy the waterway navigation mark, the sail can go to Huyu, Quanzhou or Shuangyu, as long as they do not encounter strong winds and waves, there will be no accidents. But this year I don't know how, the ship in the south is delayed, we Quanzhou people are also doing middlemen, this 'tide' embroidery in addition to the monopoly of Fujian local, but also north to Zhejiang, two Beijing, east to Japan, now the south of the ship did not come, our cargo route is broken, had to go by land to see what is going on. ”

When Zhang Lang heard this, he said in his heart: "Their cargo route at sea is broken, and it is mostly affected by the affairs of South Australia!" "The whole heart is itching, he originally thought that this group of merchants just wanted to buy for their own store, but now it seems that the entire 'tide' embroidery sales chain in Fujian has been cut off, so this business can be big or small! Hurriedly asked: "Then how many goods does the prince want to sell when he comes this time?" ”

The prince glanced at him and asked, "Uncle Lang has a 'door' road?" ”

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "It's a bit of a 'door' road." ”

The prince thought for a while and said, "If it is a good 'color' goods, it doesn't matter how much. ”

Zhang Lang asked: "What does it mean to be informative?" ”

The prince said: "We will enter as much as we want!" ”

Zhang Lang looked at their bags and said, "Is the money and silver brought by the son enough?" ”

The prince smiled and said, "Uncle Lang didn't listen carefully just now!" I came this time, not only for our own goods, there are a large number of peers waiting for it, now we are afraid of no goods, silver two things, don't worry.

When Zhang Lang heard this, his heart was like countless ants crawling, and he finally suppressed the lack of expression, and asked: "How many goods are one thing, but it depends on what price Wang Gongzi can offer." ”

Zhang Lang saw that his abacus was actually made of sandalwood and gold and beads, and he was very envious in his heart, and when he saw the number, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, thinking: "They must be out of stock and crazy!" In the past, the price of 'tide' embroidery was the highest, and it would be less than half of this price! Then he thought, "No! Since he opened it like this from the beginning, he will definitely be able to pull it out again! Although he was overjoyed by the price offered by Wang Gongzi, he still shook his head and said: "At this price, I can't get the goods." Then he dialed the abacus again, and said: "The 'color' must be of the highest quality, but it has to be this price before I can think of a way." "It's doubled the price!

The prince frowned when he saw it, and said, "This is impossible!" Even if you go to Japan, you can't go to this price. The two sides went back and forth, cut for a long time, and finally froze in the middle of each other's offer, the prince said: "This price, I am really a little embarrassed, but if there are enough goods, then it can be negotiated." Uncle Lang, how many goods can you get for me? ”

Zhang Lang dialed a number on the abacus, and the prince frowned and said: "It's too little, if it's just this bit of goods, we will lose just the filial piety money that is transported back and forth, and I can't give you this price." Zhang Lang gritted his teeth and doubled it again, and the prince said, "Can't you add it anymore?" Zhang Lang said: "That's all, if you want more, you have to wait a few months." ”

The prince shook his head and said, "Can't wait!" It's okay to wait a few days, a few months? Maybe when the boat here will sail to Shuangyu, then the price is cut in half, and I don't need to. ”

Zhang Lang hurriedly said: "Don't wait so long, don't wait so long." He added, "But we have to 'trade' in cash." ”

The prince smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, when you see the goods, you naturally have silver taels." ”

Zhang Lang looked at their skins again and said, "You ......"

The prince knew that he suspected that he didn't have so much money in these packages, so he smiled and said: "It's not quiet on the road now, we do business, and we buy insurance for everything." I don't have a large amount of silver with me. As for where to put it, Uncle Lang doesn't need to know, in short, we will trade the cash spot at that time. ”

Zhang Lang also knew that this was the right thing to do, if a few of them took a large amount of silver taels to a strange place and blindly rushed to 'mess' around, Zhang Lang would feel strange. The prince asked about the transportation again, and asked Zhang Lang whether he was contracted, if it was contracted by Zhang Lang, it was to make a deposit here in Raoping after seeing the goods, and then 'pay' the full amount in Fujian. Transporting goods across hundreds of miles of mountain roads to Quanzhou, where does Zhang Lang have this ability? Hurriedly said: "We don't package the goods." ”

The prince said, "If this is the case, then we must use our own porters and guards." In fact, this time we have already planned to transport it ourselves, so the porter escort also brought it, but it is not good to go through the market in groups and swagger, so it is divided into several groups. So he asked Zhang Lang if there was a place for his porter and guards to get down. Zhang Lang asked the number of people and when they would arrive, and the prince said, "In addition to us, there are fifty-eight people in total. Thirty porters, twenty-eight guards. It was divided into seven groups, all of which were armed. Call them to the meeting, and they will be gathered together in three days. ”

Zhang Lang thought about it, and after all, he didn't dare to let so many people enter Wushiwei, and said: "There is an old house outside our Wushiwei, although it is a little dilapidated, but it can be made to clean it, if Wang Gongzi doesn't dislike it, how about settling there?" ”

The man surnamed Chen under the prince of Wang carefully inquired about the environment of the old house, and frowned after listening: "Those porters can live there, and the guards can make do, but the food must be taken care of." But if we let the prince and a few of the leaders of the guards also live there, it will be too inhospitable. ”

Zhang Lang hurriedly said: "Wang Gongzi and several leaders naturally came to our footing, there is nothing to say. As for the meals, we naturally came to Zhang Luo. ”

The prince agreed, and Zhang Lang said: "A few people will stay here for a night, I will go back to do some work first, and I will pick up a few people into the village tomorrow." ”

The prince stopped and said: "Wait, our porters and guards are going to the capital of the 'Chao' state separately, and now we have to send someone to inform them." However, I have to ask Uncle Lang to follow a few young people who are familiar with the nearby ground, one is to lead the way, and the other is to know that we are guests invited by Wushiwei, not villains, so as not to arouse suspicion. ”

Zhang Lang agreed, but Wang Gongzi still refused to let him go, Zhang Lang asked: "Is Wang Gongzi still worried?" ”

The prince hesitated for a long time before he said: "Uncle Lang, to be honest, when you go out, you shouldn't casually trust the people you meet on the road. This time, I saw that Uncle Lang was a sincere person, so I believed you, you can't lie to me.

Zhang Lang smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry!" Our Wushiwei Zhang family is a famous place in Raoping! You can casually inquire and know, you know that we are surnamed Dazhai! When you come out to walk the rivers and lakes, you are afraid of meeting people who have no foundation, what are you afraid of if you have a foundation like us? The so-called monk can't run the temple if he can run, and the big black stone is placed there, can the whole village be moved? ”

The prince hesitated for a while, and said: "We have also heard the name of Wushiwei in Cangqian Village on the road, but we are not worried that Uncle Lang will run, but we are worried that Uncle Lang will change his mind halfway through something and suddenly 'pump' his feet, then our group of people will not be able to get up and down if they are here." Moreover, as soon as our money and wealth are 'exposed', we attract the eyes of thieves, and we will be in trouble in the future. ”

Zhang Lang was already determined to earn him this money at this time, and comforted him again and again, saying: "Don't worry, my Zhang Lang's reputation, Man Raoping knows it, once the words are spoken, I will never regret it!" ”

"That being the case...... the prince asked his subordinates to 'touch' out twenty taels of 'color' silver, and said, "Then let's make a small order first." These twenty taels of silver are not the money for buying goods, but only the expenses that Uncle Lang used to entertain our group. Uncle Lang also set up a note for us to guarantee that this matter will be promoted. ”

If Zhang Lang just saw the numbers on the abacus and his heart was just itchy, he would see real silver, and he would be on fire! He scratched his chest, his head was hot, and he said, "Okay! ”

The prince immediately made a note, and both parties made a guarantee for this business, in duplicate, and drew a pledge together.

After everything was ready, Zhang Lang said goodbye and left, and before leaving, he told Zhang Poqian that he must entertain these uncles.

After he left, the children in this group of merchants took the 'door' around and took the wind outside, and several of the five merchants couldn't help laughing, and the surnamed Chen said: "It's okay now!" Things are hopeful! ”

The prince smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Lin is right, there are really people in Wushiwei who see money." But this is the first level! ”

These five merchants are the East 'Gate' Qing who came from the sea, and the four subordinates he ordered, Chen Baifu, Shen Wei, Zhou Dafu and Shuiyu Cai, and the child outside the 'Gate' is Lin Guoxian's grandson Lin Feng.

Shen Wei asked Dong'men' Qingdao: "Prince Wang, what should I do next?" ”

Dong'men Qing said: "Wait for Zhang Lang's people to come, you and Dafu will take them to pick up Wu Ping and them, seven groups of people are divided into three days, two on the first day, two on the second day, and three on the third day, don't get together, so as not to attract attention." As for what we are doing in Wushiwei, this excuse makes Zhang Lang want to go for us. I don't think he wants to show it off. After Wu Ping arrived, he asked him to keep a low profile and not to act rashly. Let's see how Shen Wei's side is doing first, if he is sure, we don't have to come forward, just help when we can use it, if Shen Wei's side fails, we will act again. ”

Not to mention the arrangement of the East 'Gate' celebration here, but said that Zhang Lang returned to Wushiwei and showed the twenty taels of silver to his wife, and his wife also had red eyes when she saw it, jumped up and said: "I only planned to earn him a few taels of silver 'flowers' and 'flowers', but I didn't expect it to be such a big customer!" If this business is done, it will be a few years of good life! I'm going to let people go to wash the old house! ”

Zhang Lang said: "Wait, this business is too big, we can't be the master by ourselves, we have to discuss with the second brother." His wife frowned when she heard this.

The real power in Wushiwei is Zhang Lian, although Zhang Lang sees himself as tall, but in fact, it is his younger brother who has this majesty. Because he is responsible for keeping the accounts of Shixia Warehouse, he has the opportunity to contact the goods in the warehouse, usually he steals some things from Shixia Warehouse, Zhang Lian doesn't care too much about him, as long as he doesn't steal too much, just turn a blind eye, but this time to do such a big deal, you can't get around this younger brother. When he saw Qian just now, he felt that there was nothing he couldn't do, and he remembered that he had to discuss with his younger brother about such a 'rape' crime, and he couldn't help but regret it a little, and said, "This matter ...... Now think about it...... I'm just afraid of some trouble......"

When his wife heard this, she cried out and said, "You don't want to do it, do you?" Now it's because of an accident in South Australia that the sea route has been blocked. If the road in South Australia is opened, there will be no such good thing! Now that a large amount of money has been sent to the 'door', can't we still push it out ourselves? It's better to call Ah Bao and Uncle Houming to discuss. ”

Zhang Lang heard the same, so he went to invite his uncle Zhang Houming and his cousin Zhang Baolai, after closing the 'door', he 'touched' out the twenty taels of silver, Zhang Houming and Zhang Bao were taken aback at a glance, and hurriedly asked what was going on, Zhang Lang said the whole thing, Zhang Bao was a little worried, afraid that it was a thousand people, but Zhang Houming was moved after listening to half of it, and said: "It is good to say that it is cash silver 'delivery', and it is in our land, how can they do us?" This is our land, only they are afraid of us, we are not afraid of them! ”

Zhang Bao also thought it was when he heard it, but said again: "But such a large number...... Isn't that to empty the contents of the warehouse? ”

Zhang Lang also felt that this was difficult, it was okay to steal a little food, but if he stole so much, he couldn't cover it up, but Zhang Houming said: "What's so difficult!" We're not stealing this time, we're borrowing! ”

Zhang Baoqi said: "Borrow? ”

"yes!" Zhang Lang said: "We are borrowing this time, borrowing the batch of 'tide' embroidery from the library for a few months, and the business has become, and we will order it from ten miles and eight towns, and work hard to collect the embroidery to make up for this vacancy, one time and again, we can earn at least eighty percent from it!" ”

When Zhang Lang heard the big 'leg' in a row, he shouted: "Uncle Houming still has something on his mind!" I want to get it too! He added, "I'm just afraid that my brother won't agree." ”

"Don't be afraid!" Zhang Houming said: "He went out in the morning, let's do this first, and when he comes back, I'll talk to him!" ”

At the moment, Zhang Lang found someone to lead the way for the prince's guards and porters, and only said that it was the craftsman invited by Wushiwei to repair the old house, and Zhang Bao took people to clean the old house outside Wushiwei. In the evening, when the newspaper came back, Zhang Lang asked his son to invite the second uncle to come over and talk, and soon he heard the sound of footsteps, and his son jumped in and said, "The second uncle is here." ”

As soon as the curtain was lifted, a man with towering cheekbones walked in, it was Zhang Lian of Shixiacang, Zhang Houming was his uncle, Zhang Lian was his brother, but after seeing him, they all stood up with Zhang Bao and told him to sit, Zhang Lian saw that Zhang Lang sent his son out first, and his sister-in-law was not around, so he knew that something was wrong, but he didn't sit, and asked: "Are you in trouble again?" ”

The three men glanced at each other, all a little embarrassed, Zhang Houming hurriedly smiled: "Ah Lian, look at what you said, this time there is a good thing to go to the 'door'!" You have to be glad you know. Come, sit, sit! ”

Zhang Lian still didn't sit down, and said, "What the hell, you talk first!" ”

Zhang Houming couldn't wait, so he had to stand and tell the matter, only to say that in general, Zhang Lian sneered again and again, but he didn't interrupt, knowing that Zhang Houming and Zhang Lang took turns to finish talking about the whole thing and their plan, so he sneered: "You don't need to talk about this matter, you just go and push it." Also, be careful when you encounter this kind of thing in the future! ”

Zhang Lang didn't expect his younger brother to push so decisively, and shouted anxiously: "Second brother, you can think clearly!" This money, minus the share of the fathers and brothers, is enough for our brothers to enjoy for a few years! And this time we are not stealing, just borrowing! As long as you cover it up well, nothing will happen! ”

Zhang Lian sneered: "Will it be okay?" Such a large group of people are coming, do you tell the patriarch or not? If you tell him, how are you going to divide it with him? If you don't tell him, do you think you can hide it from him? Besides, when is it! You forgot about Lin Fushan? Although we did it in top secret, what kind of person is Koo? I was expecting him to have an aftermath! Sure enough, this time he actually sent a big general! ”

Zhang Lang and the others jumped up when they heard this, and shouted, "Those pirates sent someone again?" Aren't they giving up? ”

Zhang Lian snorted and said, "Since they are eyeing us, how can they stop so easily?" ”

Zhang Houming shouted: "Then what now? Otherwise, we will make a chopping gesture to ...... him like we did with Lin Fushan last time."

"No way!" Zhang Lian said: "The person he sent to connect with me this time is called Shen 'Men', this guy is no better than Lin Fushan!" Lin Fushan is gone, Xiaowei Lao can still pretend not to know, if Shen 'Gate' is done by us, then our feud with Nanao will be settled! Now in this world, we don't know when we will have to ask them, and they have sent people twice to invite me in a good voice. Don't overdo things if you don't have to! He glared at Zhang Bao and said, "But don't keep making trouble for me!" At this juncture, there is enough trouble! ”

This matter came from Zhang Lang, and the main thing that opened his mouth just now was Zhang Houming, but one of these two people was his brother and the other was his uncle, so he didn't want to scold them, and on the surface, he was angry with his cousin, but in fact, he was still going to Zhang Lang and Zhang Houming.

The second Zhang said the first thing before Zhang Lian entered the 'door', but when he really saw Zhang Lian, he was submissive, and he didn't dare to be too careless, Zhang Lian didn't say much, turned around and left, and stepped out of the 'door' with one foot, and suddenly turned back to Zhang Bao and said: "Come with me to Xialuo Village tomorrow and pick up your sister-in-law." ”

Zhang Baoqi said: "Sister-in-law hasn't come back yet?" ”

"yes, I was supposed to be back today." Zhang Lian said: "Probably because there is something in her mother's family that has delayed." With that, he left.

Zhang Lang didn't care about his younger siblings, just looked at the twenty taels of silver and was troubled.

Zhang Houming said: "What should I do? Really pushed? ”

"The second brother has said so much, what else can we do?" Zhang Lang said: "I had to push it." Speaking of this "push" word, it was like a piece of 'meat' being stripped off his heart, and Zhang Houming couldn't help but sigh.
