At the beginning of November, Wen Shaobo, Jie Ziyu, and their ten slaves arrived at Daliang, the royal capital of Wei, in a total of six carriages.

After all, the place where the household department of the imperial court purchased the sheepskin was in the household department of Daliang.

On the same day, Wen Shaobo and Jie Ziyu found the department that was really responsible for purchasing the sheepskins, that is, the warehouse department under the jurisdiction of the household department, and exchanged all the sheepskins of the six carriages for copper coins, four large boxes of large copper coins.

Jie Ziyu carefully calculated that the purchase price given to them by the household department was exactly twice the selling price in Luocheng, and then counting the profit from the goods they transported from Shangshui County to sell in Luocheng, this trip actually made them earn nearly eight times the profit of the principal.

What a crazy number!

As it was getting close to dusk, Wen Shaobo and Jie Ziyu decided to stay in Daliang today, so they found an inn in the west of the city, and parked six carriages in the open space behind the inn, but the four big boxes of copper coins, Wen Shaobo asked the ten slaves to move them to the room.

Then he told the shopkeeper to bring in some jars of wine, and told the ten slaves to watch over the wealth while drinking.

But don't get drunk.

After arranging these things, Wen Shaobo and Jie Ziyu left the inn, planning to take advantage of the short time to enjoy the prosperity of the royal capital.

They were not worried that the ten slaves would flee with the money, after all, when the Lun people sold them again, they had already imprinted the mark of Wen Shaobo on their chests with a soldering iron, and told Wen Shaobo that if the slaves dared to betray their masters, the Lun clan would compensate them for their losses, and send the most heroic cavalry of the Lun clan, even if they chased them to the ends of the earth, they would catch these slaves who betrayed their masters, and they would be punished with the most cruel punishment.

Believing this, the slaves also knew it.

But the man had said that so far, they had not heard of any of the slaves rebelling.

However, for the sake of prudence, Wen Shaobo and Jie Ziyu still kept an eye on it, not only informed the guys at the inn, but also waited in front of the inn for half an hour.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for half an hour, when Wen Shaobo and Jie Ziyu sneaked back to the room, they found speechlessly that almost all the ten slaves were drunk, and only the slave now called "Wen Yi" was still trying to open his eyes that were red from drunkenness.

"Master, we can't resist the temptation of the spirits of the Wei Kingdom...... It's even more terrible than the Qiang people, and it makes us surrender all at once......," Wen Yi said with a look of shame and fear.

『……』

Wen Shaobo and Jie Ziyu glanced at each other.

The loyalty of these slaves was guaranteed, but the concentration of these men before the wine was ......

"Alright, okay, you can sleep too."

Wen Shaobo waved his hand and said, anyway, they are in the royal capital Daliang at the moment, and the royal capital with the best security in Wei is not worried about any theft.

After hearing Wen Shaobo's words, Wen Yi may not be able to support it, so he fell asleep and snored loudly.

"It's best not to let them get drunk when they're out in the future."

Listening to the earth-shattering snoring in the room, Jie Ziyu said with a wry smile.

"But this also shows that our Dawei's wine is really good!" Uncle Wen replied with a smile.

Jie Ziyu shook his head, after all, his friend was such a cheerful, upright, optimistic and heartless person.

"Let's go shopping on the streets, and finally come to the royal capital."

"Hmm."

Leaving behind the ten slaves who were sleeping in the house, Wen Shaobo and Jie Ziyu left the inn and strolled through the bustling streets of Daliang.

I have to say that as the royal capital of Wei, the prosperity of Daliang is really beyond the predictions of Wen Shaobo and Jie Ziyu.

And what surprised Jie Ziyu the most was the civilians living here, their faces were generally kind and smiling, not as lifeless as the civilians of Chu State.

Of course, there was also a very serious class concept in the Wei State.

For example, when a luxurious carriage came from ahead, the nearby Wei people subconsciously gave way to the road.

However, they did not kneel down to see off the carriage, at most to make way for the former.

Moreover, the laws of Wei did not explicitly stipulate that commoners were not allowed to walk in the middle of the road.

Just like that, it has already made Jie Ziyu clearly realize that Wei is a fairly enlightened country.

In particular, the lives of civilians were protected by the laws of the Wei state.

In the state of Chu, it was common for nobles to kill a commoner, but in the state of Wei, if a nobleman did such a thing, he would be questioned by the criminal department of the Wei court.

Of course, the nobles can settle this matter with a good sum of money, and as long as they are willing to spend money, they can still escape the death penalty, unless there is a lot of resentment among the people.

But it is undeniable that the laws of Wei have a certain binding force on the nobles, unlike in the Chu State, the national laws are simply accomplices of the nobles to dump and oppress the commoners.

However, to the surprise of Wen Shaobo and Jie Ziyu, there were very many patrols and guards in the royal capital, and a team of patrolling guards could be seen almost every other way.

"Could it be that the security guard in the royal capital is so strict? But why didn't the nearby Wei people have any different colors?"

Because it stands to reason that when martial law occurs in a city, the people are the first to feel the pressure.

They came to a restaurant, and after sitting down, when the guys in the restaurant came to ask what they needed, Wen Shaobo asked about it.

The shopkeeper smiled and explained, "Oh, the guest said this, it has nothing to do with us ordinary people. The guests don't know that these days, many big people from all over the world have flocked to our Daliang, and it is said that they want to jointly impeach His Royal Highness King Su......"

"Why is that?" Jie Ziyu asked in surprise.

"It's not the matter over there that Sanchuan is causing trouble." While wiping the table with a rag, the shopkeeper explained: "A while ago, the household department issued a notice to all counties in the country, telling us ordinary people to go to Sanchuan to do business...... Those scholars who read are saying that this is Su Wangbai sending money to us ordinary people. ”

"It seems that there are not many people who have seen this......

Jie Ziyu nodded secretly, and then he asked, "Those big people you mentioned, they also organized a caravan to Sanchuan, right?" ”

"Not really." Speaking of this, the shopkeeper lowered his voice and whispered: "But those people are blocked in Chenggao Pass, and it is difficult to enter an inch. It is said that a big caravan was forced to say the name of the gold lord behind it, obediently, it was actually a prince...... But the soldiers of Chenggaoguan didn't buy it at all. ”

In fact, Jie Ziyu also witnessed a similar thing, and asked curiously when he heard this: "The soldiers of Chenggao Pass, even the prince doesn't buy it?" ”

"Little brother, who are you?" The shopkeeper looked at Jie Ziyu with a smile, and then whispered: "General Zhuhai of Chenggao Pass, that is the former Zongwei of today's son, who is deeply respected, and this time with the instruction of His Royal Highness King Su, the soldiers of Chenggao Pass are not afraid of those royal families at all......"

As he spoke, he licked his lips and revealed even more quietly: "It is said that there was a fatality." ”

Wen Shaobo was most enthusiastic about this kind of gossip news, and when he heard this, he asked curiously, "What's going on?" ”

"What else could it be?" The shopkeeper sneered in a low voice: "It's not those who tried to forcibly break out of Chenggao Pass, but they were shot to death by Chenggao Army with a crossbow in the name of rebellion...... Repeater knows, right? King Su's war weapon to conquer Sanchuan! ”

"Isn't it said that you can take the road from Yangzhai to Yishan?" Wen Shaobo asked in confusion.

Before the shopkeeper could explain, a guest at the table over there lowered his voice and said, "It's useless, King Su sent 10,000 'Northern Sichuan Cavalry' who surrendered to our Great Wei to be stationed there, do you have a horse to run fast?" Those fools actually wanted to resist, but they were shot dead by the cavalry of northern Sichuan. ”

Looking at the sneer on the guest's face, Jie Ziyu was stunned in his heart, and couldn't help but ask: "The aliens who killed my Great Wei don't seem to be angry?" ”

"This time and that time." The guest whispered, "King Su obviously wants to enrich the people this time, but those nobles still want to grab food...... You deserve to die! It's best if those nobles shoot a few too! ”

"This guest." The shopkeeper hurriedly reminded the customer who had lost his words, and the latter seemed to realize that he had lost his words, and he stopped talking after drinking.

Seeing this, Jie Ziyu asked curiously, "What about King Su?" Have you ever returned to the girder? ”

"I'm afraid not." The shopkeeper shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "A scholar who came to the store to drink yesterday said that King Su is mostly friendly in Sanchuan at this time, and he will not come back until the end of the year......"

"I see."

Meson understood as soon as he heard it.

Obviously, Su Wang Hongrun guessed that there would be a lot of voices against him from the aristocracy on Daliang's side, so he deliberately did not return to Daliang and let this matter drag on.

But unfortunately, before the end of the year, the king of Su must return to the royal capital to celebrate the first day.

"In other words, after the first day of next year, King Su will face the pressure from the nobles...... I don't know how long King Su can delay when the time comes.'"

After thinking about it, Jie Ziyu predicted a more realistic date: half a year.

In other words, the time that King Su gave to these people was about nine months.

In these nine months, if it is not possible to quickly create wealth and establish a caravan of a certain size, then, in June and July of next year, when King Su has to compromise with those nobles, a large number of aristocratic caravans with deep pockets will pour into Sanchuan and suppress them.

It's going to be a dangerous war!

On the way back to the inn, just when Jie Zi was worried, he suddenly saw Wen Shaobo gritting his teeth and said fiercely: "Even if the old man breaks his leg, I admit it, Jie Zi, we won't go back this year, buy a batch of goods in Daliang, and then go to Sanchuan!" ”

"Why don't you go back to Anling and Lingzun Lingtang to celebrate the first day?" Jie Ziyu asked in surprise.

"Ah, don't go back! I must become a billionaire, this is my lifelong ambition! Wen Shaobo clenched his fists and swore.

"Ambition ......" Jie Ziyu was stunned, then smiled slightly, and joked with a smile: "Don't hesitate to risk being broken by Lingzun, with this courage, you will definitely be able to." ”

"You guy......" Wen Shaobo blushed slightly, and then, he asked curiously: "By the way, Jie Zi, your ambition is a career, right?" ”

Jie Zilu walked a few steps, and then said in a deep voice: "I want to serve that Su King." ”

Wen Shaobo took a breath of surprise and said in astonishment: "You ambition...... It's bigger than I became a giant. But I'm sure you can, my brother, but Wang Zuozhicai! But ......" Speaking of this, he hesitated and said: "If you keep helping me and waste your studies, this is ......"

As if he had seen through Wen Shaobo's thoughts, Jie Ziyu smiled and said, "It's okay." …… Although the current King Su is admirable, I don't want to assist him...... I will wait until one day, when King Su is no longer just King Su......"

A hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes.

"What? What is the time when the king is no longer just the king? Wen Shaobo asked in amazement.

"It means that my current knowledge is not enough to assist that Su King." Jie Zilu explained with a smile.

"Is that so?"

"That's it. …… By the way, if you really decide not to go back to Anling this year, then we have to hurry up, and after a few days the ice and snow will close the road, and the trip to Sanchuan will not be easy. ”

"Well, you're right, let's go to the market tomorrow to buy some goods, and then set off immediately to Sanchuan!"

I have to say that Jie Ziyu's judgment is very accurate, waiting for the next year, the nobles of all parties in Wei unanimously put pressure on the imperial court against the interests of Sanchuan, so that Su Wang Hongrun gradually could not resist the pressure from the nobility within Wei, and could only acquiesce to the opening of Ruocheng to the aristocratic merchants in Wei, those Wei people who took the lead with the support of Su Wang Hongrun were instantly suppressed by the noble merchants.

At that time, those Wei businessmen who were happy with the wealth of the moment and indulged in luxury were instantly squeezed to the ground with almost no room for survival.

Only ordinary businessmen like Wen Shaobo and Tao Hong, who seized this rare opportunity and spared no effort to make profits, could they withstand the pressure of the aristocratic businessmen, and tenaciously survive the war between the commoner businessmen and the aristocratic businessmen, and gradually grow stronger.

But in any case, even if it is nine out of ten and only one remains, Zhao Hongrun's goal has been achieved.

The seeds have sprouted and sprouted, and if given a little more chance, they will grow into towering trees. (To be continued.) )
