Three days later, Tong Zhibai and his brothers returned one after another.

Zheng Liuyi came to the dart bureau, and Tong Zhibai gathered all the brothers to discuss the matter of escorting Shu brocade for Caiyun Buzhuang.

Tong Zhibai said: "Our spear will be within a radius of two hundred miles, and heroes from all walks of life will give some face, but out of this range, it is difficult to say." ”

Tong Jianlin, the second child, said: "There are many waterways here, but my brothers are not familiar with water transportation, and the land roads are hilly and undulating, so I am afraid that the road is not very peaceful." ”

Seeing that the attitude of the two brothers was not resolute enough, the other brothers showed unwillingness on their faces, but they did not dare to speak.

Zheng Liuyi: "Brothers, listen to me, and then make a decision." Not to mention that Caiyun Buzhuang has opened the door for our dart business, and it is still our biggest customer. Little brother wants to ask you, if you are waiting at home to eat Taiping rice, why do others come to you? ”

Tong Zhenhai echoed: "It's a business that anyone can do, how can we show our brother's ability." Only by doing what others can't do can we get ahead. ”

"If anyone stands in our way, just hit it!" The hot-tempered Tong Laoqi always speaks very directly and violently.

Zheng Liu nodded and said, "If you want to make a career, you must have the courage to move forward." If our dart bureau can't even get out of Yizhou, what kind of dart can we talk about in the world? How can we lay our own eternal foundation? ”

Tong Jianlin hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Brothers, don't get me wrong, my eldest brother and I are saying that the road may be more difficult, we must be fully prepared, and we must not act hastily." ”

"I think it's safer to take the land route, starting from here until Zizhong, there are no friends on the rivers and lakes who don't know each other. After passing through many Ye counties, and then passing through Puci County, passing through Jin Yunshan, you can reach Baibei Town, and after Baibei is Jiangzhou. There are no dangers along the way, so it won't be too difficult. ”

Tong Zhibai is worthy of being the first lake, and after some calculation, he immediately planned a route that is closer and safer.

"In that case, let's follow the line that the eldest brother said. Tomorrow, prepare enough equipment and horses, and rest for two days before hitting the road. Zheng Liuyi glanced at everyone, and then said: "Now I will announce the candidates for the trip, the eldest brother and the second brother are in charge of the dart bureau, and the younger brother and the fourth brother, the sixth brother, and the seventh brother will lead ten dart heads, and twenty executioners will take the dart." Three days later, when the dart was picked up in Caiyun Buzhuang, it set off. ”

"How can this work? You are not familiar with the things on the rivers and lakes, or I will lead the dart. Tong Zhibai resolutely objected.

"The second brother has more contact with various commercial houses, and the second brother and the sixth brother and the eighth brother are left, and our five brothers are enough." The fourth Tong Zhenhai persuaded him.

Tong Qidao: "Eighth brother, don't fight, you are a family person, unlike us, who have no worries and come and go freely." ”

Everyone persuaded each other, and Zheng Liuyi had to give up. Seeing that the brothers still left Tong Lao Liu to protect themselves, they were very moved.

Three days later, Zheng Liuyi rushed to Caiyun Buzhuang when he was not old, and saw that Tong Zhibai had already led everyone to carry Shu brocade into the carriage, put the cotton cloth on the periphery, and Shu brocade in the middle, which was full of six carts. Zheng Liuyi visually measured that the Shu brocade on each cart accounted for half of the majority.

I didn't see it, Yunsheng, this little lady, is not small, you must know that every inch of money is gold, and these big cars are about to catch up with the cash trucks.

According to the market price at that time, Zheng Liuyi calculated in his heart that these Shu brocades were estimated to be worth more than 200,000 taels of silver. If it is out of Sichuan, the price is estimated to double.

You must know that in this era, only high-ranking officials and nobles can afford to wear Shu brocade, as long as the high-end atmosphere is high-grade, money is not a problem. Ordinary people can only afford to wear cloth and linen clothes, and there are also brothers from poor families who wear a pair of pants.

In Daliang, the silver mine has not been mined in large quantities, and the silver is still a hard currency that does not depreciate, and 200,000 taels of silver is definitely a huge amount of money. Zheng Liuyi secretly wondered, and he didn't know what Yun Sheng thought about this girl, she had to take so many goods at one time.

The road out of Sichuan is dangerous, and in the past, the sales of Shu brocade were all taken the Golden Bull Road, and then sold to various places through Chang'an. Jinniu Road is the official road connecting Chang'an and Chengdu two major cities, although it is peaceful, but the difficulty of Shu Road, the world is famous, and the cost of goods transportation is extremely high.

Therefore, Yun Xuening has been thinking about taking the Yangtze River waterway, and the goods can go directly to Jiangxia and Jiankang, which can greatly reduce the transportation cost. However, it was also the first time for her to transport such a large amount of Shu brocade. It is absolutely impossible to rely on Buzhuang's own strength, and it must be done with the help of the Sharpshooter Dart Bureau.

It was undoubtedly an adventure to transport such a large batch of goods by water for the first time. But for some reason, Yun Xuening has a kind of unreasonable trust in Zheng Liuyi, and she is sure that Zheng Liuyi can deliver the goods safely.

For the sake of insurance, she also arranged for Yuan Feng and Guo You, two stunts of Buzhuang, to take more than a dozen shrewd and capable men to follow the bodyguard team on the road.

"Sharpshooter dart bureau, through the river to the sea, darts all over the world-"

As the two executioners shouted their long and powerful darts trumpets, Tong Zhibai turned over and threw his hands to say goodbye to everyone, and with a greeting, everyone got on their horses, drove the convoy, and walked out of the city.

The two executioners in front led the way, followed by ten dart heads, and then six dart carts, followed by the Tong brothers and Yuan Feng, Guo You and others.

The wheels rolled, and the horses' hooves shattered. The group was mighty and imposing.

Zheng Liuyi watched the convoy set off, and he was always a little uneasy in his heart, such a valuable convoy, once the news leaked out, it would inevitably be remembered.

Back at the sharpshooter bureau, Zheng Liuyi found Tong Jianlin and said, "Second brother, the convoy is too large this time, and the younger brother is a little relieved. ”

"Eighth brother, you relax, there is a big brother to lead the team, to ensure that you are safe." The dart fee for this dart was extremely lucrative, and Tong Jianlin had already forgotten his initial worries.

"Second brother, I think we still have to prepare again, once there is a mistake, our brother will not be able to compensate for the loss of other people's cloth villages by selling tofu for ten years."

"How to prepare?" Seeing that Zheng Liuyi said seriously, Tong Jianlin couldn't help but get serious.

"I'm going to train the troops, gather the rest of the dart masters and executioners, practice the art of battle formation, once the eldest brother is blocked, we can go and kill him without leaving a piece of armor."

Little brother, it's ruthless enough.

Tong Jianlin glanced at Zheng Liuyi and then fell into deep thought, he understood that these people in his hands were all stragglers, they didn't know how to fight in a team, and their combat effectiveness could not be compared with the regular army.

After pondering for a while, Tong Jianlin nodded and said, "What the eighth brother said is right. Until Big Brother returns, we won't take over the dart business anymore. Brother Fool doesn't know much about military training, so everyone will be handed over to you. ”

Since then, Zheng Liuyi and Ouyang Zongze have taken leave, and after getting up early every day and practicing with Wushuang, they will go to the dart bureau compound to train darts and executioners.

In order to distinguish it from the six-person triangular array, Zheng Liuyi renamed the triangular array composed of three people as the Sancai Array, and he also borrowed from Qi Jiguang's practice to combine a ten-person mandarin duck formation suitable for mountain combat. According to the strength of each person, they are either responsible for attacking or defending, forming a fixed combination with each other.

After the group training every day, Zheng Liuyi divided the personnel into two shifts and fought each other with wooden knives and guns, so that they could experience the advantages of the battle formation in actual combat.

Zheng Liuyi already has a very high prestige among the people, coupled with the clear rewards and punishments, everyone is naturally more convinced of him, and he trains harder every day.

The official road in central Sichuan is flat and wide, and it has to be said that Zheng Zongwen made great achievements during his reign in Yizhou, and he governed Yizhou only in an orderly manner. Tong Zhibai led the team out of Chengdu, crossed the Tuohe River and entered the boundary of Qingshui Town on the same day.

Seeing that it was getting late, he said to the fourth Tong Zhenhai: "Fourth, go and find out how far it is from the town, and we will settle in Qingshui Town at night." ”

Tong Lao Si went on a horse, and after a while, he turned around and said to Tong Zhibai: "Big brother, I have to go to Qingshui Town here, and there are still more than ten miles to go." However, five miles ahead, there is a Pengjiazhuang, which is the hometown of Brother Peng, and since we are here, we have to visit. ”

"Although Brother Peng has been in the capital for many years, we are passing by here, so we naturally want to visit Mrs. Peng." After Tong Zhibai finished speaking, he waved behind him and said, "Let's stay in Pengjiazhuang tonight!" ”

When the group arrived at the front of the village, everyone dismounted. Tong Qi inquired to Zhuang Ding: "We came from Chengdu and made a special trip to visit the old owner Peng, don't you know that the old owner Peng is at home?" ”

Zhuang Ding saw that the group was menacing, all of them were fierce, and he felt a little worried in his heart, who knows if he was here to seek revenge? Immediately said: "The owner of Peng Lao Zhuang is old and sick, and he has long been gone, so please go back!" ”

Tong Zhibai didn't understand Zhuang Ding's thoughts, so he hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Please report to the little brother, and say that the spear will Tong Zhibai meet the owner, and we will wait for a response here." ”

After a while, Zhuang Ding hurriedly opened the door of the village, and a tall and handsome middle-aged man bowed down from afar, and said: "Little brother Peng Xianwu didn't know that Brother Tong was coming, and he missed the welcome, forgive the sins!" ”

Tong Zhibai walked a few steps to meet him, patted Peng Xianwu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, you are a hero in Sichuan, you actually let me Tong eat behind closed doors!" ”

"Zhuang Ding is too cautious, quickly beckon all brothers to come into the village and settle down."

Peng Xianwu likes to make friends on the rivers and lakes, relying on his solid family background, he travels around all the year round and does not often go home. With a good martial arts, he broke into the name of a hero in Sichuan.

I don't want to capsize in the Xiaosha River gutter in Chengdu at one time, and be numbed by people with sweat medicine. Fortunately, Tong Zhibai helped him, so he was both respectful and grateful to Tong Zhibai. Then the two corresponded from time to time, and their friendship deepened.

Tong Zhibai first went to visit Mrs. Peng, and when he arrived at Peng Xianwu's residence, he asked, "Why didn't Brother Xian run a restaurant in Zizhong, but returned here?" ”

"My father was old and had to go back to his hometown to take care of him. But you, big brother, what are you doing now? Peng Xianwu looked at Tong Zhibai, full of doubts.

"Haha, let the younger brother smile, in order to make a living for the more than 200 brothers under his command, he has to do something legitimate for his brother." Tong Zhibai told him about the darts.

Hearing this, Peng Xianwu was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that there would be such a livelihood in the world.

When he heard that Tong Zhibai wanted to go to Duoye County and Puci County, Peng Xianwu said: "Although Yizhou is more peaceful than other states and counties, this time is different from the past, I am afraid that my brother will have a difficult journey here!" ”
