The silver had been put into the bag, and the caravan naturally did not dare to slack off, and all the goods were unloaded and placed everywhere according to the category.

Southern goods and spices are stored separately, as are dried fruits and fruits, as for those coarse and heavy pottery, now they are opened straw bales, those dozen large and small water tanks, those clay pots and pottery bowls are all used by the refugees, because they did not care about preparation before, these days are very inconvenient, should have been bought from outside.

As for those daily groceries and utensils, etc., Li He took Fu Yu to classify them there, some of them were put into storage, and some of them were directly distributed to the families and refugees, and even the villagers of the grange were distributed, and everyone was given the usable utensils, and they all knew that the future would definitely be more convenient, and everyone in the grange was happy.

Even the young people who have been staying out of the grange are very envious of the hot atmosphere of this grange, they are incompatible with this group, they don't think so, but as everyone stays in this grange for longer and longer, the more they are attracted by this vigorous atmosphere, and the desire to integrate into this group is getting stronger and stronger.

When the goods were unloaded, the animals pulling the carts were unsaddled and taken to the compound with the loaded camels to feed and rest, and the stewards and men of the caravan were also housed, and some people planned to let them live in the shanty houses where the refugees lived, but Juda deliberately let the farmers in the fields vacate a few houses for the caravan to live in, and when all this was almost settled, it was almost dark.

Although the three people in the caravan were drawn to a blur of flesh and blood, the others should be entertained, and the two sheep were killed in the grange, and a few jars of wine were brought out, and this feast was rich enough.

"Third master, is the caravan leaving tomorrow?" In the midst of his hustle and bustle, Fu Yu asked in a low voice.

In Fu Yu's opinion, the Li family caravan sold out of goods today, and it will leave home early tomorrow, after all, it has entered the lunar month, and everyone has to rush home for the New Year, but seeing that the Li family caravan is so thoroughly settled, it seems to mean that they want to live in this grange for a few days, so Fu Yu has this question.

If you are an errand in the third class and six rooms, if you are an apprentice in the cargo station of the commercial bank, asking questions will be regarded as too much to talk about and be disliked, but in Zhu Da's group, he likes to ponder, and he likes to ask is a sign of self-improvement, and Fu Yu realized this earlier than others.

He asked Li He in a low voice, but it happened that Zhu Da also stood here to check the goods, and also heard Fu Yu's inquiry, without waiting for Li He to speak, Zhu Da first smiled and said: "This kind of merchant team makes money and loses money, you can't just look at it from the outbound and return journeys, it is very likely that the outbound journey will not make money, or even lose a little, mainly relying on the subsidy earned on the return trip, or make more money when you go to the trip, or make less or lose money on the return trip, but you can't empty any journey, and you won't have to earn it at all." ”

Fu Yu is a smart person, as soon as he heard Zhu Da say it, he suddenly realized, watching Zhu Da inspect the bamboo very seriously, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this master is good at martial arts, has experience, and is so good at doing business, how many skills does he have? Is he a generalist?

There were no houses where so many people sat at the same time in the grange, so they simply set up a running water table in the open space, and the hot soup full of mutton and haggis was accompanied by multigrain cakes and pickled vegetables, full of oil and water, and full of portions, and as for the stewards and people with sufficient status, there were some salted duck eggs and lo-mei and the like.

Zhu Da set up a table in his residence, Li He and Chang Shen accompanied him, as for the caravan, Li Cheng only brought the old steward over, Zhu Da's table was much more exquisite than the outside, but there were only two more dried vegetables and one more chicken.

This is a private banquet, cordial and relaxed, Li Jian also introduced the old steward, that is, an old servant of the Li family, the former name and surname have been discarded, and now he is called Li Fu, which is also a common name for slaves and children born in the family, nothing more than Fulu Suxi and the like.

“...... Our ancestors came from Henan Weihui...... "Although Li Dian is older than Li He, he does not have any intention of being superior, but he has a relative with Li He, and he is so courteous to the people next to Zhu Da, and the atmosphere in the house is even more cordial, and the two sides have to drink a few sips of wine to warm up first, and earn a few hundred taels of silver during the day, and punish the disobedient people in the caravan, Li Dian is very high-spirited, but he also knows very well who gave him all this.

Zhu Da spoke straight to the point: "In six months, I need all kinds of daily groceries here, I won't talk about those that are too detailed, the family only comes here in clothes, what does he need to buy to live a good life, there are thousands of such people, you will stock up according to this." ”

No one is greedy for these few mouthfuls of wine and meat, after Zhu Da finished speaking, Li Yuan exchanged glances with the old housekeeper Li Fu, although the two did not talk, they nodded at each other, it seemed that a consensus had been reached, Li Yuan cleared his throat and said: "Brother Zhu, this is a big business, it is common sense to be large and cheap, what price do you want?" ”

Business is business, Li Cheng is not jerky at this time, straightforward bargaining, Li He and Chang Shen also glanced at each other, their faces were shocked and excited, of course they know the ins and outs of these "thousand households" and "thousands of households", tidy up the ownerless wasteland in Huairen County, and then recruit the poor and displaced people to resettle, and then sell them daily groceries, this young man will really make a fortune.

"You should earn as much as you want, not less in my place than elsewhere, but not more than elsewhere, if I can make you more on the return trip, you can give me a few more prices." Zhu Da said in a deep voice.

His response made Li Cheng and the old steward Li Fu stunned, after all, they had only been in contact with Zhu Da twice, and they could think that Zhu Da was a martial artist and a local tyrant, but they couldn't imagine that he was such a sophisticated businessman.

Zhu Da tapped the table with his hand lightly, and continued with a deep groan: "I still have a lot of things to lack here, I still need food, and I want as much food as I want." ”

"Our caravan is a small business, and we can't transport ......much grain," the old steward Li Fu hurriedly interjected.

After only two sentences, he was interrupted by Li Yuan, who glanced over and said with a big smile: "Since Brother Zhu has spoken, then we will think of a way." ”

Grain is produced anywhere, it is not a local specialty, it is not a famine year and a disaster year, and it is not a price at all, and it consumes transportation capacity, of course, he is not willing to do the business of transporting grain, the reaction of the old steward is normal, but Li Yuan's reaction is not wrong, he made up his mind to transport goods to Zhu Da in Huairen County has been proved right, and he is sure to make a second decision.

"In terms of price, Brother Zhu must be affordable, there are no specialties here in Huairen County, if there are any goods to sell, it will be better." Li Yuan said with a smile.

Li Lou's words have two meanings, one is to say that he will do his best to give Zhu Da profits, and the other means that if the return profit is not high or even not profitable, it will not be too much.

Zhu Da nodded, the other party said very sincerely, if you can't buy suitable return goods in Huairen County, you can only collect some unprofitable or slightly loss, or go to other states and counties to buy other good-to-sell goods, the former does not make money or even a slight loss, and the latter plus the extra footsteps, that can't make too much, in business, no one wants to do a business that doesn't make money for a long time.

"If in the past, there were still some special products outside the plug, but as soon as the disaster of the Tartars entered the Kou, I am afraid that there will be no such in the next six or seven months, as for the others, there are in Huairen County, and there is no shortage in other places." Zhu Da said slowly, he didn't shy away too much.

When Zheng Jiaji had not yet been destroyed, there was no shortage of specialties for the return trip, but now everything is not tied.

"From the front business, if everything goes well, you can return to Zhengjiaji." Li Cheng said with a wry smile that in the past, Zhengjiaji was a place where goods were distributed, and it was often the starting point or midpoint of the merchant team.

Zhu Da took a piece of mutton and chewed it slowly, he was thinking in his heart, if there was no suitable specialty, should he let them take a cart of salt from the salt cave, but Zhu Da quickly denied this idea, the private salt business is not something that anyone can do, let the Li family caravan get this and don't make trouble in the end.

"Brother Zhu, don't be embarrassed, you can always come up with a way." Li Yuan said with a smile.

Zhu Da picked up the wine bowl and greeted the other party, and said in a deep voice: "I can't let you do a loss-making business, but also let you make money." ”

When everything was planned, there was no point in discussing too much, Zhu Da didn't drink much this night, but the guests were very happy, and it was not too late to disperse, but the tired caravan and others still went to bed early.

The snow has not stopped, the grange in the snowy night is very quiet, except for the patrol of the people on duty, there is no movement, Zhu Da asked Chang Shen and Li He to go to their respective jobs, he walked alone in the snow, thinking as he walked.

Chang Shen and Li He didn't quite understand why Zhu Da's face was heavy, anyway, they could earn it from their own side, and they could send what they needed anyway, so it didn't matter how much the other party earned, then the Li family's caravan didn't lose money.

Zhu Da is worried that the Li family's caravan earns too little, if it always relies on high prices and cash, then his own family is too losing, if he relies on favors, then the other party is too losing, what Zhu Da wants to do is a system like Zhengjiaji and Hebian New Village, a reasonable system that can be self-circulating.

However, he is really not familiar with Huairen County, and Zhu Da is ready to work together tomorrow to see if others can think of something he can't think of.

Walking aimlessly in the grange, the snowflakes fell on his body in a thick layer, and Zhu Da didn't notice it, and he only reacted when he walked to the place where the messengers and the family lived, and only then did he shake off the snow on his body.

The reason why he stopped was because he heard someone chanting in a low voice, and Zhu Da immediately heard that it was Sun Wu's voice, which was the most reliable place in the Grange, so Sun Wu was also imprisoned here.

“...... The three saints bless and bless all living beings......" This whispered chant made the quiet snowy night even quieter.

Zhu Da stepped in, he wanted to talk to this Sun Wu, now that there is no one in the grange to eat, Zhu Da is not ready to raise this Sun Wu for too long.
