After tossing for a long time, Yuwen Wen finally asked Zheng Tong to go through the books he bought, except for the inexplicable appearance of "Yutai New Song", he did not find any books other than the book list, and this "Yutai New Song" should have been a mistake in the bookstore, and some other books were sent over.

"Yutai New Song" Yu Wenwen muttered, this is not the 'Little Yellow Book' he thinks, this book contains more than 700 poems from the Zhou Dynasty to the Southern Dynasties, 'the main theme' of the emotional entanglement between men and women.

There are indeed beautiful poems, but there are also various other emotional entanglements, such as marriage changes, denunciation of negative hearts, not admiring vanity, men thinking of women, husbands and women, there are grievances of falling out of favor, and there are lingering loves, which cannot be rudely defined as 'Little Yellow Book'.

"Since it's delivered, let's buy it." He finally made a decision, Zheng Tong wanted to say something when he heard this, and finally nodded silently, Yuwenwen didn't say much, and put the scroll away.

Regardless of the rest, it is for the inclusion of "Ancient Poems for Jiao Zhongqing's Wife". He sighed and walked out of the room.

"Ancient Poems for Jiao Zhongqing's Wife", also known as "Peacock Flying Southeast", is a poem of Han Yuefu, and the folk song "Mulan Poem" of the Northern Dynasties, collectively known as "Yuefu Shuangbi", of course, for someone, this is an article he learned in a high school Chinese textbook.

The peacock flies southeast, telling a tragic story of love: in Jian'an in the late Han Dynasty, Liu (Liu Lanzhi), the wife of Jiao Zhongqing, a small official of Lujiang Mansion, was sent by Zhongqing's mother and vowed not to marry. His family forced him to die without water. When Zhong Qing heard this, he also hanged himself in the garden tree. When it hurts, it is inherent in this poem.

"The peacock flies southeast, wanders for five miles, takes off the skirt and takes off the silk shoes, lifts his body to the Qingchi to wander under the garden tree, and hangs the southeast branch"

Silently reciting the 'text' that he had just reviewed, Yu Wenwen solemnly read out the sentence 'hanging the southeast branch', unconsciously came to the outside of the room, pushed the door and sat in front of the desk, eased his emotions, took out the family letter and opened it to look at it carefully.

First of all, my father's letter, there is nothing special, first of all, care, and then a reminder, briefly explaining the current situation in Shannan, anyway, it is 'a good future', and said that there are people in Bazhou to take care of him, so that he should not worry in Yecheng.

Of course, in the end, he also told him to be cautious in his words and deeds in Yecheng and not to make trouble.

"I also specially told not to make a mess, am I so hateful? I don't even believe my own son, it's not like words! Yu Wenwen couldn't cry or laugh, and he didn't remember that day when the dynasty would brazenly 'pounce on the palace'.

Next is Mrs. Wei Chi Chifan's family letter, full of three pieces of paper, three different handwriting, of course, written by the three wives and concubines, the head of the family, Wei Chi Chifan, said the current situation in the house, in short, everything is normal.

In the letter, she instructed her husband who was far away in Yecheng to pay attention to food, housing and transportation, and to wear warm clothes, Yang Lihua and Xiao Jiuniang were also full of care in the letter, which made him feel warm in his heart.

"Count the days, at least the letter I wrote half a month ago, it is estimated that when I arrived in Yecheng, I asked the post envoy to send it all the way." Yuwen Wen muttered to himself, "I think that the matter at the court meeting has almost spread to Shannan." ”

His 'performance art' in the main hall was estimated to be helpless after his father was transmitted, and his wives and concubines would be worried that the adjutants and subordinates would be speechless, so he wrote back the next day to 'explain' to avoid misunderstandings.

I was about to write a reply letter with a pen, but I didn't expect someone to knock on the door, it turned out that it was Liu's shopkeeper who had something to report, saying that someone asked to see, and now he was waiting outside the embassy, and there was more than one person who asked to see him, all for the glass mirror.

"Glass mirror, you can handle it, what do you want me to do?" Yu Wenwen was a little strange, but he thought about it and asked another question: "What, is someone oppressing people with power?" ”

I promised not to cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of things and dare to send my face to the door? I'll kill you!

Seeing that someone organized a group to send his face to the door, Yu Wenwen was not angry but happy, as the so-called "knowing oneself and knowing the other is invincible", he didn't wait for the shopkeeper Liu to answer the previous question, and threw out a new question: "The owner behind them, have you figured it out?" ”

"Well, the owner, they are all wealthy businessmen and giants in Yecheng, and they are here to meet the envoy in person, and they all want to wrap the glass mirror on our hand."

"You can call the shots, and your decision is mine." Yuwen Wen was very happy when he heard this, it turned out that a wealthy businessman wanted to show up, so it was none of his business, according to the original plan, the relevant matters were all in charge of the shopkeeper Liu.

Shopkeeper Liu works under Yuwenwen, not a slave who has signed a contract, nor is he an official or general, so Yuwenwen's self-professed self-professed is a little troublesome, so he simply uses 'me' directly, and saves money in exchange.

He wanted to be the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper Liu couldn't take it, he was holding a bunch of worship stickers in his hand, according to his detailed explanation, the wealthy merchants in Yecheng not only wanted to bring them to Yecheng glass mirror bag, but also took the goods from Bazhou to order.

No one is a fool to do business, Yuwen Wen came to Yecheng, and no one knows how many glass mirrors he brought, but the wealthy businessmen all know that this thing is highly profitable, even if Yuwen Wen didn't bring much, but there must be a lot of them in Bazhou.

Yuwenwen did not claim to be able to produce glass mirrors, but as long as people with a discerning eye know that this 'Western Regions Strange Treasure Glass Mirror' is from him, and this thing is the only one and has no other branches, so getting the supply as soon as possible is a good opportunity to make a fortune.

Shopkeeper Liu had a few glass mirrors before, which attracted many wealthy businessmen to visit, but he really couldn't be the master of this kind of thing, and Yu Wenwen, who had done the master, was in the palace again, and the people who came to the door these days were like flowing water, and they were all asking when Yu Wenwen would return.

"Bazhou, they have traveled more than 4,000 miles from Yecheng to Bazhou, so they are not afraid of any accidents on the way? Also, what do they use to pay, Chen Guo can also use the waterway to transport by boat, do they have to ask hundreds of convoys to pull money? ”

"So the owner has to ask in person."

"These people, don't have any unknown origins?" Yu Wenwen is most concerned about safety, in case he is hacked to death by someone during the interview, it will be a disaster from the sky, this is Yecheng, it was the nest of the 'Ye Xiao', he is not stupid and bold.

Shopkeeper Liu only said that he didn't recognize any of the others except for the one he had cooperated with before, and he didn't know who the origin was unknown, Yuwenwen was not embarrassed when he saw this, so he asked him to come in and meet in turn according to the order of arriving at the embassy, and at the same time let Zhang Yu stand by his side, and a few guards guarded outside the door.

After a while, Shopkeeper Liu led a person in, who was dressed in a white robe, with a bloated figure, a square head and big ears, but the thick eyebrows and big eyes looked quite kind, and if he wore a robe, he would be called a treasure and solemn.

After some introduction, the two sides sat down as the guest of honor, and the shopkeeper Liu also sat aside, and the person surnamed Cui was a disciple of the Qinghe Cui family, of course, he did not belong to the long house, and this time he came to talk about the glass mirror.

"Since the shopkeeper Cui is interested, the father-in-law is not verbose, regardless of how many goods you want, the father-in-law asks, how do you ship the money." Yuwenwen got straight to the point, and now he is talking about business, and it is a little awkward to have a "Ben Guan", so he claims to switch to "Ben Gong".

"I don't know what the county prince wants? Whether it's a treasure or a horse, the shop can bring it. Shopkeeper Cui asked, and the title was also changed from the beginning of "envoy" to "county prince".

"Horses? How many horses can you get? Yu Wenwen was quite surprised, if the other party could really get horses, it would be a good deal, he was short of horses now, but he was skeptical about the quantity.

"The county prince, the horses of Liangzhou, the horses of Youzhou, and the state can be used, hundreds of horses can do, of course, there are too many of them, it is really difficult."

"The imperial court has recently acquired the boundaries of the two governors of Duzhou and Wuzhou, but the two places are adjacent to the Yangtze River, and once Chen Jun comes, it is very easy to pass and inconvenient, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it at that time." Yu Wenwen asked.

This is a very real problem, the connection between Shannan Prefecture and the imperial court is very fragile, and the boundary of the Hezhou Governor's Mansion at the southeast foot of Dabie Mountain is the only passage from Shannan to Yecheng.

Cui's shopkeeper's answer was also very simple, he said that it didn't matter if Chen Jun just attacked and disturbed, if there was a change in Hezhou, it would be really troublesome, and I was afraid that the horses would not be able to be transported at that time, but carrying other valuable things could be guaranteed.

From the north to Shannan, they can not only detour the road of the eastern foot of Dabie Mountain, they can also enter Jingzhou from Yuzhou, that is, enter through the land of Sui, of course, it is naturally impossible to transport horses.

In addition to horses, he also has crystal bowls, agate cups, all kinds of gems, jade, and all kinds of northern specialties, or gold, these things are easy to carry, he has been doing business for many years, and he has some connections everywhere, so even if Zhou, Sui, and Chen are at war, they can still carry these things back and forth between the north and the south.

The shopkeeper Cui said that if the deal is decided, Yu Wenwen doesn't need to worry about how they arrive in Bazhou with the 'payment', and there is no need to worry about problems on the way back and forth.

"The shopkeeper Cui seems to be strong, if my father wants to buy hemp, I don't know if it can be shipped?"

"Please rest assured that the plan can be delivered."

"How?"

"Load the ship from Qingzhou, go all the way south along the coast, enter the Yangtze River estuary, and go up the river."

"Sea freight? It's my father's loneliness" Yu Wenwen nodded, he subconsciously always thought that the north could only go south by land, ignoring that the other party could also take the sea route to the waterway, and the coastal transportation in this era was also very developed.

As for how the other party passed through the blockade of Chen Junshui's division, it shouldn't be a problem, the strength and access of the wealthy businessmen are not comparable to the small businessmen.

"I don't know what happens to the sale of this glass mirror?" Shopkeeper Cui asked, the two sides haven't even talked about the specific issue of the glass mirror, but he knows what this Xiyang County Duke needs most, as long as it can be satisfied, the chance is much greater.

"The name of the shopkeeper Cui, my father wrote it down."

"Luckily." The shopkeeper Cui got up and saluted, and the other party said that he had written down his name, which meant that he was in the scope of consideration, and the matter had come to this point, at least there was good progress, and he didn't expect to be able to settle it immediately.

After the shopkeeper Cui left, there were wealthy businessmen Ding Zou and Yan Xing, who came one after another, they were all rich people in Yecheng, so Qi Shi and the government were very close, and after Zhou Guo came, he naturally took refuge in the new master, and the power of the backers standing behind was not low.

Someone came to talk about business, Yuwen Wen couldn't ask for it, he didn't have his own trade route, he used to mainly do business with Chen Guo in Jiangnan, but now the land of Zhou is connected, and the trade route in the north can be considered.

The previous sales of the glass mirror were mainly in the south of the Yangtze River, but once the war started, it was easily affected, and if the northern market could be opened, it would be very useful to ensure the stability of Yuwenwen's income.

Of course, he couldn't organize his own caravans, so he needed these merchants to be middlemen, although he made less money, but the market was much larger, and the most important thing was to buy horses.

The merchants sold horses, most of which were ordinary horses, and if they traveled between enemy countries, the number was also greatly limited, but now this is not a problem for Yu Wenwen.

First of all, this is the country's domestic horse trafficking, as long as the imperial court does not issue a ban, that one pays and one sells horses, it is a good way to solve the horse shortage, it doesn't matter if the horses are ordinary, as long as they are qualified war horses, a little bit of saving, how can they gather sand into a tower, collect armpits into a fur.

Therefore, what Yu Wenwen cares about is the strength of the other party, whether he has the ability to safely transport the things he wants to Bazhou, the wealthy businessmen and tycoons are trafficking goods for thousands of miles, and the state and county officials along the way are a big challenge for them.

During the Western Jin Dynasty, Shi Chong, who was rich and liked to fight for wealth, sent people to intercept and kill merchants in Jingzhou, so as to obtain huge wealth and make a lot of money.

At this time on the Silk Road, Liangzhou was also an important hub, when Yuwenwen was in Chang'an, he also heard of the 'feat' of a certain Liangzhou assassin history: he convened a gathering of past merchants, directly sent troops to surround the hall, and couldn't help but say that all these people were killed, and then the accompanying livestock and goods were all his own.

There is a similar situation in Jiangnan, where when they meet a merchant who sells goods, the state and county officials forcibly detain him as a thief, put him in prison and then "drink cold water to die", and those "thieves" also mysteriously disappeared.

Or the powerful who pluck the feathers from time to time, the business done by the wealthy businessmen and tycoons are high-risk and high-reward, as the so-called "the business that kills the head is done, and the business that loses money is not done", the businessmen who dare to return thousands of miles to shuttle through the enemy country have at least a few brushes in their hands.

Yuwenwen wants to inspect the strength of these people to ensure that he can have a stable income, and the imperial court will allocate horses to Shannan, but that is a public process, not to mention that there are more monks and less porridge, and there will not be many horses that Bazhou can distribute, so he wants to buy horses by himself and needs a strong supplier.

The people who met him were like flowing water, Yuwen Wen Jun met one by one, and the shopkeeper Liu introduced another person, who was in his twenties, tall, deep-eyed and high-nosed, with slightly curly hair, full forehead, and wearing a white round-necked narrow-sleeved corset.

But it was a famous Hu person, and when he saw Yuwen Wen, he saluted, and said in a skillful official dialect: "Honorable Xiyang County Prince, Antuluo, son of Anjia, salute you." (To be continued.) )
