When Li Qing and his entourage entered the city of Chengdu, the noisy and lively atmosphere immediately came to the face, the street on both sides is densely packed with teahouses and bookstores, large and small restaurants, restaurants, inns, green buildings are lined up, the street is even more lively, the performers, fortune tellers, dog skin plasters, merchants, merchants, warriors, scholars, deep-eyed and black-faced Tubo people, strangely dressed Nanzhao people, high-nosed and blue-eyed people from the Western Regions, people from one person to another, people crowded, this is Zhang Yuan into the yin, sweating into the rain, side by side, Li Qing's convoy on the street is difficult to march, The coachman could not catch the car, he could only lead the horse cautiously forward, along the way, from time to time, there were children laughing and running in front of them, leaving a string of laughter, Li Qing smiled and groaned to enjoy the customs of this Tang Dynasty metropolis, only heard the shouts of the shopkeepers, the laughter of the customers in front of the green building, the leather drums dancing of the orchids in the restaurant, the laughter of listening to books in the teahouse, the applause of the onlookers, the cars everywhere were like flowing water and horses, Li Qing's heart was arrogant, and the worries brought by the Hai family had long been left behind. At this moment, he just wanted to stand up high and yell: The most prosperous city in the Tang Dynasty Listen, I, Li Qing, are here!

The convoy traveled through the city for nearly an hour, before arriving at the agreed location, Zhang Wang had been waiting there, the inn he set was in a good location, the grade was also high, called the Moon Tower, close to the most prosperous horse bridge, but it was noisy, everyone unloaded their luggage, there were already a few small two to help, at this time the black clouds pressed the city, the swallows flew low, bursts of sultry air rushed to the face, the wind suddenly rose, and the wind and rain were coming.

Li Qing was anxious, he threw the matter of settling everyone to the curtain, and he immediately took Yang Zhao to visit Xian Yu Zhongtong, Xian Yu Zhongtong's official residence is also near the Sima Bridge, Xiao Er Yao pointed to the mahogany carved building, the two walked, only a cup of tea to arrive, the official residence covers a small area, and the old house in Xinzheng County is very different, but the wall is high and the courtyard is deep, a few thick green old acacia trees leaned out from the wall, covering the road outside the wall with a shade, Li Qing explained to the guards what he meant, several guards heard that they were from Xinzheng County, where is the hometown of the master, Don't dare to slack off, immediately sent Li Qing's name card into the mansion, and soon, a burst of hearty laughter came, and a slender and thin figure of Xian Yu Zhongtong appeared at the gate.

"When did the virtuous nephew arrive in Chengdu?"

Li Qing hurriedly gave a long salute and said, "I just entered the city gate an hour ago, and I didn't dare to slack off, so I put down my luggage and came to see Uncle Shi." ”

Xian Yu Zhongtong smiled with satisfaction, leaned over and looked behind Li Qing, Li Qing knew what he meant, and said hurriedly: "The curtain is still packing up at the inn, and I will come to worship my father-in-law one or two days later." ”

"When you come to me, you will be home, what inn do you want to stay, what is the name of the inn where you live, I will send someone to pick her up."

"It seems to be called the Moon Tower, not far ahead, but I have a lot of people, the curtain will arrange them, let's talk about it another day!"

"Deyue Tower? It's really funny" Xian Yu Zhongtong couldn't help laughing, Deyue Tower was his property, and he did live at home, he called a person, told a few words, and the person took the order to run.

"I am the proprietor of Deyue Tower, and I will ask someone to arrange the best food and lodging for you." Xian Yu Zhongtong smiled, but at a glance he saw Yang Zhao on the side, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared, he smiled and asked Li Qingdao: "Is this your friend?" ”

"Yes! He is the eldest brother Yang Zhao I met in Langzhou. ”

"Yang Zhao?" An electric light suddenly flashed in Xian Yu Zhongtong's eyes, "Where do we seem to have met?" ”

Yang Zhao immediately said: "Yes, last year, when the adult came to Xindu County to inspect, it was the horse I led for the adult." ”

"I remembered, sure enough, it's you, you are the county lieutenant of Xindu, what's the matter, are you no longer in office?"

"Back to my lord, I have retired from my humble post at the end of my term, and I am destitute, but thanks to the generosity of Brother Li, I have not been starved to death."

Li Qing didn't say anything, he glanced at Yang Zhao dissatisfied, obviously he had seen Xian Yu Zhongtong earlier, but he told himself that he had just heard of the name for a long time, it seemed that this person's dumidity had become a habit, and it was really unbelievable.

Li Qing's subtle changes in his eyes were captured by Xian Yu Zhongtong one by one, he was old and sophisticated, and immediately guessed that the relationship between the two of them was by no means as simple as friends.

"Stand at the door for so long, go! Go in and talk. Xian Yu Zhongtong pulled Li Qing over, and asked with a smile as he walked: "You said that you have a lot of subordinates, it seems that you are doing well, tell me about the situation after you go to Langzhou." ”

"I opened a store in Langzhou...... Li Qing briefly said the matter of opening a store in the past three months, and finally said: "Luck is really good, although these three months are hard, but the capital for the next step of development has been earned." ”

Saying that, the three of them entered the guest hall, sat down the guests, and had their own subordinates serve them tea, Li Qing took out twenty taels of silver from his arms, pushed it in front of Xian Yu Zhongtong, and said with a smile: "At that time, Uncle Shi didn't say that he wanted interest, so I only repaid the principal." ”

"You slippery fellow, the merchant borrows money, and there is no profit, and I don't mean to say it, just give you this silver, or not! Since you insist on paying it back, then I will accept it. He smiled, and without waiting for Li Qing's reaction, he quickly took back the silver.

Xian Yu Zhongtong said casually: "The virtuous nephew came to Chengdu this time, I don't know what I want to do?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, so I'm here to ask Uncle Shi."

He originally wanted to open a supermarket and open a hypermarket, but that was just his idea when he first arrived in the Tang Dynasty, and after a few months of hard work, he had already understood that this was unrealistic, not to mention transportation and logistics, and more importantly, there was a bazaar in every square of the Tang Dynasty city, which had a complete range of things and a wide variety, which was equivalent to a hypermarket.

And in the small towns and counties in the convenient transportation, there is naturally a grass market, and remote mountain villages, there will be a merchant to the door, the Tang people male ploughing and female weaving, basically self-sufficient, and pay taxes in kind, there is no money left in hand, some necessary daily necessities, occasionally buy some from the hands of the merchant who goes to the countryside and villages, it is enough, on convenience, not as good as the merchant, on the price, there may not be an advantage, so, what supermarket can he open to make a fortune!

"Uncle Shi has been in business for many years, and he is a big man in Shuzhong, so I want to ask, what can I do?"

"If you want to make a lot of money in business, there are only two roads, the first is big capital, selling 10,000 horses of Shu brocade and 10,000 catties of tea, going down to the south of the Yangtze River to enter Beijing, and the profits will naturally roll in, which is one; The second is strange, to win with novelty, no one has me, monopolizing the market, and naturally there are huge profits; In addition to these two roads, of course, there are some tricks, such as selling illicit salt and buying and selling weapons, you can also make a lot of money, but your head is tied to the belt of your trousers, and you will be killed if you find it; I think the virtuous nephew can take the second way, just now you mentioned the slush, Chengdu does not, if it is really a delicious thing, then there will be a market regardless of winter and summer, so I advise you to sell your slush first, and open a restaurant inn, and so on after earning enough, and then go back to the first road, do a big deal, my Jiannan Road Shu brocade, tea, paper, porcelain are all good things, as long as you go on a trip, let alone three or five percent of the profit. ”

Xian Yu Zhongtong said that Li Qing woke up like a dream, worthy of being a giant businessman in Shuzhong, every sentence was to the point, Li Qing picked up the teacup, and suddenly remembered the scene of money rolling in, and couldn't help but be leisurely, with a hint of an intoxicating smile on the corner of his mouth.

He was dreaming of making a fortune, but he was anxious about Yang Zhao on the side, Li Qing's expression was clearly that he had forgotten his affairs a long time ago, he saw that Xian Yu Zhongtong already had the intention of sending off guests, so he couldn't help it anymore, coughed heavily, and woke Li Qing up from the dream of making a fortune, Li Qing looked at Yang Zhao who was full of anxiety, and suddenly woke up to the fact that he almost forgot about the big thing.

He smiled apologetically, pondered for a moment, and then said straight to Xian Yuzhong: "Brother Yang was originally a county lieutenant in Xindu, quite familiar with the rules of officialdom, and shrewd and capable, I want to ask Uncle Shi to help him find an errand, I don't know if Uncle Shi is convenient?" ”

Xian Yu Zhongtong was silent, this little thing was a gesture for him, if Li Qing was interested, he must be willing to do it, but this Yang Zhao, Xian Yu Zhongtong's experience in Xindu County is still vivid, this person is not right, and he is a typical sycophant, it is really difficult to help this kind of person by himself.

Li Qing saw that he was silent in thought, knowing that he must be unwilling, and he couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, if he failed this time, wouldn't all the blood he spent on Yang Zhao be wasted? Thinking of this, he was heartbroken, and he couldn't care about revealing history anymore, so he glanced at Yang Zhao and said, "Brother Yang can go back first, I still have some private matters to discuss with Uncle Shi." Yang Zhao understood, and immediately got up and left.
