Qin Chuan originally wanted to explain a few words, but when he heard Zhu Da finish speaking, he was stunned, and after a while, he wiped the corners of his eyes with his hand, sighed and asked, "Child, I know that you are wronged, but there is no chance of turning the tables in this matter, what do you say?" ”

"We have no choice but to do it, as long as we don't give up, we can still find a way after all." Zhu Da sat up straight and replied in a deep voice.

His statement like this made Qin Chuan and Zhou Qingyun's mood a lot better, but Zhu Da knew that he was pretending to deal with it calmly, and his mood was also full of resentment and helplessness at the moment. Suddenly, he was about to be swallowed by the military head of the border town, and this swallowing was not only the industry, but even he had to accompany him, and he dared to feel that this military household was indeed a slave, and the freedom he originally thought he was just that the old men didn't notice.

Zhu Da hates his weakness even more, and he is powerless in the face of a truly powerful enemy, whether it is the Mongolian horse team or the head of the border town army, if he wants not to die, if he wants not to affect the people around him, he can only escape, he can only submit, think about why he had no concept back then, it is nothing more than that there is still a friendship between Qin Chuan and Yang Xiong, and the face must be maintained.

"Father-in-law, why didn't they have the idea of attacking the new village by the river? Zheng Jiaji, why don't they touch it? Zhu Da found that his silence made the atmosphere in the room too oppressive, so he simply asked two questions.

"Zheng Jiaji has long been the climate, he relies not only on the Zheng family's own power, the business in the new village by the river is too small...... It is said that your trade outside the city has just been done, and it is not very big, how can you be seen in the eyes, there must be a reason for this. Qin Chuan was originally answering, but as he spoke, he found a question.

There is no answer to this question in a short time, and Zhu Da is too lazy to find out the root cause, even if he finds out the answer, he still has to do it according to the other party's wishes.

"Qingyun, you will arrange the patrol on duty tonight, I will go to the Li family's caravan to have a look, no matter what happens in the future, I will always have to receive it well." Zhu Da stood up and said, he looked at the depressed atmosphere in the room, couldn't help but smile and said: "Even if we go to do things for their Yang family, we can't do it ourselves, why bother with such a sad face, the inside and the outside should be together, do things like the Yang family, the Yang family can't keep an eye on it." “

He had the heart to joke, and the others didn't have the heart to follow, Qin Chuan sat there and waved his hand, but he was not in the mood to speak, and when Zhu Da and the two of them went out of the house, Zhou Qingyun looked ahead and said in a muffled voice: "The Yang family is like this, let's kill it hard, if there is a mistake, it will cause a big disaster." ”

"Then it's too dangerous to do, don't think too far ahead, I said I'll reply after the year, it's useless to plan now." Zhu Da shook his head and replied, a family of generals like the Yang family is not a gangster and a local tyrant, let alone killing, whether or not you can get close to you is two words.

"Whether it's a blessing or a curse, we will bear it together, and you can do what you say." Zhou Qingyun's attitude is simple and direct.

After leaving the Qin family's house, Zhu Da called Li He and Wang Jing, and brought Fu Yu Meng Tian and a few young messengers, he was going to the inn to deal with the caravan, it was more appropriate to bring these people, after the celebration at dinner, everyone felt that their own power was a lot greater, and everyone was in high spirits, Zhu Da didn't want them to know what the old Chinese army came to say, and squeezed out a smile on his face, so as not to let everyone find out his resentment.

Approaching the Spring Festival, the only inn in Huairen County certainly has no guests, but even this can't accommodate all the people of the Li family's caravan, and there are many guys who spend money to spend money on the night in the houses outside.

Even if it is staying in the inn in the city, the caravan also has a night duty arrangement, the Li family caravan up and down has a deep memory of Zhu Da, the night watch after seeing Zhu Da, first respectfully came up to salute and greet, and then ran to report the news, Zhu Da did not wait long in the main hall of the inn, and saw Li Lou and the old steward Li Fu and several other stewards walking over quickly, their faces were full of joy, as if they were relatives reunited after a long absence.

Walking before and after, Li Cheng was deeply courteous, and several stewards were also courteous, and Li Cheng even said: "I have seen Brother Zhu, fortunately not to be dishonored!" ”

This "fortunately not disgraced" said a bit clueless, when Li Cheng rushed to the freight yard to have an answer, the cart and the warehouse are full of all kinds of furs, in addition to the common cattle and sheep skins on the grassland, there are also fox skins, mink skins and other animal skins that can be sold at a high price, and the quantity is very large, the goods that are not unloaded on the cart are high, Zhu Da even noticed that there are four more carts and matching horses and camels than when he left Huairen County.

After a brief look, Zhu Da has already estimated, because of the invasion of the Mongolian horse team, the price of all kinds of goods from the grassland is soaring, especially leather goods, and the trade routes around the lunar month and the first month are equivalent to being cut off, and the price of border trade will rise, not to mention that there is such a big mess this year, Zhu Da also noticed that the leather goods of the Li family caravan are not bad, and this time the goods are afraid that they can be sold at nearly twice the price on weekdays, and they will be in short supply.

"Brother Zhu, I originally planned to settle the last payment on the way back, but I didn't expect the border customs to be so rich in inventory, the brother made his own opinion, and the other party bartered all the goods that could be bought, and the money owed to Brother Zhu here may not be settled until the next year, and the next time the brother comes to Datong, he must have brought enough silver, who would have thought that there could be so many good goods in these checkpoints in the military city, this fur is actually nothing, and I also showed me something else, all of which are good department stores from the Western Regions...... "With the trust established by both parties, Li Cheng didn't feel much guilt when he talked about this, just excited.

But Zhu Da didn't listen to the latter words at all, when Li Lou said this, he had already figured out a lot of things, why the Yang family suddenly wanted to let themselves work for them, why a business outside the county town that bought low and sold stolen goods at a high price could be favored by a general like the Yang family, because they needed such an agent, they needed such a market, and sold a large number of grassland specialties in their hands, where these specialties came from, I am afraid it is not easy to say clearly, there is the possibility of black eating black, and there is also the possibility of private transactions, no matter which one cannot be put on the surface, and the Yang family, no matter how involved in the operation of the martial arts family, can't figure out the business matters, but the Yang family knows best that the person who knows how to do business is probably himself, knowing that he knows how to do business, and he also knows how to handle himself, such a person doesn't hurry up and eat it, when will it be eaten.

In fact, there are not many kinds of good department stores from the Western Regions, there are exquisite blankets for weavers, metal utensils with exquisite workmanship and unique shapes, and weapons from farther places, etc., these are specialties from Central Asia and even more East, these goods are equivalent to the value of silk and cotton cloth medicinal materials to the Mongolian tribes for the Ming merchants, and they can be sold at a high price to obtain a high profit.

Even if he is a military general guarding the border pass, he has such and such convenience in his hands, and he is not able to hoard so many goods, and the variety is so complete and the quality is so good, if the Yang family had such a channel a long time ago, Yang Xiong would not have partnered with Qin Chuan to traffic illicit salt in Huairen County, Zhu Da's thoughts diverged further, the Yang family suddenly had so many good goods, and suddenly needed an agent who knew how to do business, did this sudden change have anything to do with the Mongol invasion and looting in June and July......

Thinking about it further, the Yang family needs an agent to ship and sell goods, and even have to operate a scene, is it that the Yang family is sure that there will be a steady stream of goods next......

"Brother Zhu? Brother Zhu? If you are embarrassed here, or you don't have enough money, how about leaving a few truckloads of goods on my side to deduct it, otherwise, how about the interest on Brother Zhu when he returns to Daizhou and comes back again this time? Li Yuan noticed that Zhu Da suddenly groaned, and thought that the arrears had not been settled, so he hurriedly came up with an explanation.

As long as the Li family caravan settles the account after the Spring Festival, even if it is an algorithm such as usury donkey rolling, the interest rate of fifty percent is too high, but several stewards present take it for granted, and no one wants to persuade suggestions and the like, because everyone feels that without Zhu Da's generosity and help, the Li family caravan will not gain so much, not to mention that the significance of this time is not only to make money and make profits, but more importantly, to open up a business route and make a reliable relationship, as long as it is maintained, the next thing is that money is rolling in.

"I can trust you, if you settle the payment after the year, just give me 20% interest." Zhu Da stopped his thoughts, waved his hand and replied.

If it is in Zhu Da's memory of more than 20 years of life, 20% interest a month is a sure usury, but in this era, 20% interest in such a situation is a very reasonable and conscientious price.

Hearing Zhu Da quote this price, Li Dian was stunned, and several stewards behind him also had similar expressions, Zhu Da also reflected why the other party would put forward such a condition, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head, and only a relationship like Qin Chuan and Zhou Qingyun can be trusted without reservation, normally speaking, Li Dian should be strictly guarded against to avoid risks.

"This time...... If it weren't for Brother Zhu's 'trustworthiness' this time, the business in the next would have been messed up, and he would not be able to convince the public in the clan in the future, which also hurt the heart of the mother, and there was no explanation for the family members who followed, if there was no Brother Zhu, how could there be today, please rest assured Brother Zhu, in the future, Li and the Li family will make Brother Zhu trustworthy! Li Jian was already choked when he said this, and in the end, he actually knelt down directly, Zhu Da didn't let the other party kneel, and grabbed the person.

Not only did Li Dun kneel, but several stewards behind him also knelt down, and this Zhu Dake couldn't help him, and the old steward Li Fu said gratefully: "Master Zhu is kind to our Li family." “
