Hundreds of miles do not sell wood, thousands of miles do not sell wood. This proverb is a good explanation of what is the way of business. No matter what the era, the biggest bottleneck restricting business development will always be the cost of transportation.

The same goods, in their place of origin, may be worth as much as mustard, but thousands of miles away they can be worth as much as gold.

Just like the goods of tea, it is only a pound of 100 wen in the Central Plains, but when it comes to the border plug thousands of miles away, a pound of tea can even be exchanged for a cow.

The difference in price is more than 100 times.

12,000 catties of tea, if it is bulk tea, at least 30 ox carts are needed to transport, which is not to say that you can't find 30 ox carts, but because there are too many ox carts, not only will the number of people needed increase, but also face all kinds of problems.

Both the cost of time and manpower will increase greatly.

But now with tea bricks, this problem can be solved very well. The maximum load of an ox cart is generally 2,000 catties. If it is transported long distances, for the sake of the life of the ox cart, it may not be fully loaded, but it is no problem for an ox cart to load a thousand catties. But if it is bulk tea, in order to prevent the tea leaves from being squeezed and damaged, it can be loaded with more than 300 catties, which is already quite good.

Because bulk tea takes up too much space, it is not restricted by weight, but the tea bricks are standard, each weight is generally two catties, and every three hundred tea bricks can be packed into a large wooden box. This not only greatly reduces the number of ox carts, but more importantly, the tea bricks are easy to keep. The road of thousands of miles, whether it is sun or rain, or vehicle bumps, will not have a devastating impact on tea bricks.

Seeing that the reluctant Ping Sihai finally walked out of the mansion gate, he didn't say a word when he heard Qihang, and closed the tall mansion door directly with a bang.

ushered in Ping Shiyuan's angry eyes.

"Look at what, you as collateral." Smelling Qihang pouted.

"Don't deceive people too much!" Ping Shiyuan airway.

"Too much deception? Oh, you're really going to beat a rake! Wen Qihang said contemptuously: "This is a trade worth 5,000 cattle and horses, and your Four Seas Dart Company will make a profit of at least 100,000 yuan or more." If this is too much deception, then Benjue would like you to give me a dozen of such deceptions. ”

"........" is so annoying to smell this damn smell. Ping Shiyuan's jade hand clenched the trapping knife on her waist, and she almost wanted to pull out the knife, wanting to unload Wen Qihang to eight pieces to vent her anger.

"Girls' families, don't learn how to teach each other at home, dangle a broken knife all day long, if you leave a scar on your face, I will see how you will marry in the future." Seeing that Ping Shiyuan wanted to draw a knife and endured her anger, she smiled slightly in her heart.

"Leave it to you!" Ping Shiyuan threatened: "When I do it in the future, you'd better always obey the law, otherwise if it falls into my hands, you will look good." ”

"You're going to catch fast?" Wen Qihang grinned.

"Of course." Ping Shiyuan raised her head and said.

"Shall I allow women to do fast catches?" Wen Qihang wondered.

"Women can be generals, why can't they be fast catchers?" Ping Shiyuan asked rhetorically.

"Who? How did I not know? Smelling Qihang, he was surprised. In the 5,000-year history of China, the only female general who can be officially recognized by the history books is Qin Liangyu in the late Ming Dynasty, and it is a rare breed like a generation of empress Wu Zetian.

"It's just that there are two in the former Tang Dynasty, one is Princess Pingyang and the other is Mrs. Xian." Ping Shiyuan said with honor.

"........" Hearing Ping Shiyuan say the two women in a proud tone, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously when she heard Qihang. Princess Pingyang is the fighter among the princesses, and as for Mrs. Xian, even the later Premier Zhou called her a cow. If all the women in this world are like these two, will the men still have a way to live? Wen Qihang said speechlessly: "Well, the ambition is good. ”

Ping Shiyuan looked at Wen Qihang and said: "So you have to be careful, through this period of observation, I found that you always like to wander on the edge of the law." If your current identity is not the viscount of the country, but just an ordinary person, I am afraid that you would have been in prison a long time ago. ”

"Thanks for the reminder." Wen Qihang arched his hand and said, "But let's think about what to eat tonight first, right?" ”

"I don't know the hearts of good people." Ping Shiyuan snorted.

“........”

A woman like Ping Shiyuan can't be untargeted at all, it seems that she has really gone too far recently. If the price of cattle is speculated all the way to 500 yuan, but Zhao Lao Er is not given a satisfactory explanation, I am afraid it will not be a matter that can be solved by a one-year fine and a one-month grounding.

"What do you want to eat tonight? I can make it for you, you know, not everyone can eat the food I make. Wen Qihang vaguely expressed his gratitude.

"Can you really do anything?" Ping Shiyuan said with a smile.

"Of course." Wen Qihang nodded.

"Then I want to eat braised chicken wings, cumin mutton, sweet and sour carp, steamed river crab, dried stir-fried fish eggplant, stir-fried kidney flower, braised prawns, lotus root pork ribs, stir-fried shredded pork........ and the most expensive all-beef feast nowadays. Ping Shiyuan said with her fingers like green onions.

“........ Are you learning how to name a dish? Smelling the air, he said sullenly.

"Hmph, I know your words don't count." Ping Shiyuan said with disdain.

"Okay, I'll do it for you, be careful to kill you!" Smell Qihang cursed.

"Whether you can eat or not, that's my problem, whether you can do it or not, it's your problem." Ping Shiyuan pouted.

"Count you ruthless!"

"Make it, I'll count you ruthless!"

“........”

It is also a very pleasant thing to be able to flirt with a beauty. But often the more times like this, the less there is a shortage of-stirring sticks.

"Brother Wen is really a good means, he fought with this little lady a moment ago, and now he can actually fall in love."

"........" When he heard this charming voice, he knew that Xie Lingyun's demon girl had come, and when he heard it, his head was big for a while.

After all, Tan Mansion is a large compound with three entrances and three exits, and the defense of a few people cannot prevent a master like Xie Lingyun from entering and exiting.

Lingyun laughed. Seeing that Ping Shiyuan drew a knife to be vigilant, Wen Qihang hurriedly indicated the identity of the person who came, if the two fought, then he would suffer.

"Little lady Ping, don't worry, I won't have any other plans for your lover." Xie Lingyun stood far away and said.

"Hugh is babbling." Ping Shiyuan said solemnly.

"Lingyun, you've already said that." The corners of Wen Qihang's mouth twitched slightly.

"Hey, you men, as long as you have a new love, you will forget your old love." Xie Lingyun lamented.

"........ "Who is the new love, who is the old love!" Wen Qihang hurriedly clarified: "Lingyun, we are innocent between us. ”

"Of course we are innocent, but if my senior sister knows that Brother Wen has a new love now, I don't know what the reaction will be!" Xie Lingyun shook his head and said.

"The relationship between me and the little lady Ping is also innocent." Smell the sail head is as big as a bucket.

"Really?" Xie Lingyun looked at Ping Shiyuan and asked.

"It's not true, you don't need to care." Ping Shiyuan said coldly.

“........ Ping Shiyuan! Smell the sail and help the forehead. This damn little pepper is trying to kill herself! Do you deny that you can die!

Xie Lingyun sighed and said: "Hey, Brother Wen, my little sister actually wants to help you, but this time I have to stand on my senior sister's side, otherwise my senior sister's misunderstanding of me will probably deepen again, and I hope Brother Wen can be more considerate." ”

Be considerate of a yarn, this damn demon girl, as long as she doesn't get into trouble for a day, it looks uncomfortable. Captain Wen Qi took a breath and said, "I can explain." ”

"What is there to explain to a woman in a green house." Ping Shiyuan interjected.

“........”

"Brother Wen, you can do it yourself!" Xie Lingyun spread his hands and said that he couldn't help.

Seeing Xie Lingyun's beautiful figure disappear, Captain Wen Qihang sighed and said to Ping Shiyuan: "Even if you want to take revenge on me, it won't be like this!" ”

This damn little pepper is too ruthless, and he will not hesitate to take revenge on himself, and he has to admit that he has an improper boyfriend and girlfriend relationship with himself. This was a great sin in ancient times that would be sunk.

"I'm here for your own good, this woman feels very bad to me, you better stay away from her. But don't be fooled by her beauty. Ping Shiyuan said solemnly.

“........ And I have to thank you? Wen Qihang gritted his teeth.

"Thank you for not needing, as long as you can understand my good intentions and help the four seas dart more."

"I still thank your ancestors for the eighteenth generation!"

“........”
