“...... The production here is sent to Zhengjiaji, pickled eggs, wind chicken and preserved duck, all kinds of marinated goods, as well as the duvet quilt, have become the specialty of Zhengjiaji in Huairen County, now there are many merchants who have made a special detour to buy there, so many merchants from the south to the north gathered, do they not do business with each other? Zheng Jiaji can't do the business of changing hands and sewing, so the inn and the freight yard are not business? Aren't restaurants, casinos, and green buildings a business? Don't blame Brother Wei You don't know, for my brother, after passing by a few times, I deliberately let people go to figure out where they were, Xiao Mo, tell me what you saw....."

After the businessman surnamed Lu spoke at length, he named his guard to explain, and the guard with the knife on his back hurriedly said: "Back to the master, now Huairen is close to the counties and health centers, there are chickens and ducks and eggs trafficking to the Zheng family, some are still pickled, but they can't be sold at the price, and it is not easy to sell, and they are all given to the Dachuan Commercial Bank at a low price. ”

The businessman surnamed Wei heard the door coming, and said with emotion there: "I don't blame others for only recognizing Dachuan Commercial Company, buying things at his house is ironing, pickled eggs are cooked, and they are tied with grass, so you are not afraid of bumps on the road, and you won't get dirty." ”

When he said this, the merchant surnamed Lu also said with a smile: "There is another one, let's buy it ourselves, there are two or three bad ones in ten eggs, if you are not careful, you will encounter the black-hearted character, five bad ones are possible, but the outside is wrapped in eggshells, and you can't see how, but what you buy in this Dachuan trading house, buy ten is almost all good, buy one or two bad ones in a hundred, their family also relieves them, and the same is true for other goods, and the purchase is reassuring." ”

"It's amazing, it's really amazing, it's amazing to be able to do business on this common chicken and duck and make so many tricks, and even more rare is to create your own business opportunities, so that the country market has become a commercial hub, which is amazing."

"But Brother Wei, what you said just now is not bad, the people in this small place are shallow, they think that outsiders don't know, so they are boasting, according to me, all this is probably the plan and idea of that talented Qin Chuan."

"Xiucai? Qin Chuan? Is that the big proprietor in the firm? Didn't the news say that it was all the idea of a kid in this village? ”

This question and answer made the businessman surnamed Lu laugh, pointed to the "new village" by the river and said: "Look at the arrangement by the river, and then think about the routine that my brother just said, can it be the idea of a village boy?" ”

The businessman surnamed Wei was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, his face was full of admiration, and he said again and again: "Scholars have a lot of thoughts, and they are clumsy, this is clumsy!" ”

"That Xiucai arranged for my brother to check, but it turned out to be the master of the local martial artist, who helped the man make a big business of private salt, and at that time he also used private salt as an introduction to attract merchants from the south and north to do business with him, if you think about it, is it very similar to the current regulations, and it is difficult for him to be a scholar, and he even understands the farm craft so well."

"I can figure it out when I think about it, it's really a talent, it's really a bit of a stone's ability to turn stones into gold, Brother Lu, why don't you invite such a talent in, if you can have such a plan, even if you give some dry shares, it's worth it." The businessman surnamed Wei also began to discuss it seriously.

Hearing his words, the businessman surnamed Lu couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, and said a little depressedly: "How can such a business wizard let go for his brother, but when I went to inquire, I found out that this Xiucai is dedicated to his career, and he will go to Taiyuan Township to try it this year." ”

"That's really no way, to make such a business, there must be no shortage of money, and it's another mind to seek officials, and look at how his fortune is in his previous life, the talents in this world have all taken this road in the end!"

The five masters and servants all relaxed when they said this, and the explanation of the businessman surnamed Lu also went around in a big circle, and several people walked towards the carriage and horse parking place with a smile, and after arriving there, they had to sigh with emotion, "That Qin Xiucai is really talented, and the place where the carriage and horse are parked is also neat." ”

Zhu Da, who has already walked into the "Riverside New Village", naturally doesn't know what is going on behind him, when an outsider comes to Baibao Village, the villagers will be curious, but now everyone is no longer surprised, there are so many merchants coming and going, and they can't take care of so few.

The building by the river, which looks like a village from the outside, is different when you walk in, and it is clearly an aggregation of warehouses and freight yards.

The smell is not good in the place not far from the village, not to mention the smell of live poultry, pickling, cooking and boiling and baking down, which makes people feel unable to breathe, if this is okay alone, there are also noisy sounds in the ears, you can hear the chirping of chickens and ducks, the shouting of people, and the noise of the water mill, and even the neighing of large animals such as cows and horses.

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun frowned again, although the others adapted to such an environment, their expressions were not as relaxed as before, but became nervous, and after taking a few steps, Li Zongqi's eldest son Li Ying and a strong man in his forties ran over, Li Ying did not change, he was slightly taller and stronger, and the strong man in his forties was not a person, but he was a horseback escort surnamed Deng in the salt stack back then, and he had dealt with Zhu Da and Xiang Bo a few times, and now he looks a little more fortunate than back then, and he is not so strong.

Seeing them coming, Zhu Shishi didn't speak, but Li Ji, the general banner, frowned, and reprimanded him unceremoniously: "You don't stare at your stall, you come over and do something." ”

After training his son, Li Ji nodded to the man surnamed Deng again, and said not very politely: "Deng Kai, the two of us are about the same age, how can you be the same as a child." ”

After being reprimanded by him, Li Ying was a little cringe, but the strong man Deng Kai didn't care much, and said with a smile: "Zhu Gongzi came here, Xiao Ying and I still have to come over to take a look, if Gongzi Ye finds any fault, let's ask clearly in person and change it quickly." ”

Deng Kai's attitude was very confused, Li Zongqi couldn't say anything, Zhu Da only shook his head there, and said with a smile: "Uncle Deng, you have a relationship with Xiang Boping, call me son, and add the word "master", isn't this tormenting me?" Shouting Zhu Da, shouting Xiao Da, isn't it very good. ”

"The rules still have to be established, if it weren't for this generation, everyone would have called you master!" Speaking of this, Deng Kai became serious, and the others nodded in agreement, while Zhu Shishi was smiling.

Zhu Da smiled bitterly and shook his head, everyone present, except for Zhou Qingyun and Li Ying, everyone else is an elder, many words can only continue, and it is a little inappropriate to refute, he did not continue the topic, just waved his hand and said: "Since we are here, we still have the old rules, go one place and see one place, I will say anything, everyone is your own person, don't be surprised." ”

After these words were spoken, several people around Zhu Da, except for Zhou Qingyun, even Zhu Shishi were counted, their expressions were tense, and their nervous expressions were mixed with a little apprehension, and Deng Kai muttered in his mouth, "This is the real master!" Everyone hears it, but no one cares.

Zhu Da had a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes became serious and sharp, and Zhou Qingyun beside him showed a bit of boredom on his face, and stepped back, letting the others get closer to Zhu Da.

"Coming from the village, I didn't see anything dirty all the way, the roads were hard, and the drainage ditches were cleaned, so I couldn't find too many faults."

After Zhu Shishi, Li Zongqi's father and son, and Deng Kai heard Zhu Da's words, they looked at each other, Li Zongqi breathed a sigh of relief, and the others had not relaxed.

Everyone continued to walk forward, Zhu Da walked in front of him as a matter of course, looking around as he walked, several people were very concerned about where his gaze was, Zhu Da looked there, and they also looked over.

"This time the corners are cleaned, don't think I'm annoying, outsiders can't see it, and your own family may not be able to see it, but if you don't supervise the cleaning of the corners, everyone will relax, and slowly, the road surface will not be clean."

Zhu Da led everyone to walk around the road of the "new village", and the regulations of Baibao Village and Xiama Village are different, the two hundred villages are one house per family, many small houses plus the outside of the earthen fence constitute the whole village, and this new village is composed of large courtyards, each big yard is not much smaller than Baibao Village, the road between the yard and the yard is also very wide, and the two big cars are very easy to run side by side.

The road is a gravel road, anyone can see that the paving is often repaired, although it is dry on this side of Datong, but the wind and rain in summer and autumn are not small, to keep the road surface smooth, you have to keep checking and padding the soil, the courtyard wall is also regular, although it is an adobe wall, but the outside is brushed with white ash water, and it is refreshing to look at.

There are roads between the yards, but the distance of the compound is not only the width of the road, there is more than a vacant lot outside the courtyard wall, and the vacant land is connected to the road, some of the open space is planted with vegetables, and some are stacked with goods.

At this time, there were no people in the vegetable field or the pile of goods, and there were few pedestrians and horses on the road.

They didn't walk fast, but every time they walked a stick of incense, there were three young men with long sticks walking side by side, and after seeing Zhu Da, they hurriedly bowed down to say hello, and some people said "It's okay" to Li Zongqi and Na Deng Kai.

After walking around, Zhu Da and his people arrived at the west side of the "new village", different from the quiet in the village, there was a lot of noise outside the village, there were cattle and horses parked in the open space outside the village, some people stood by the car to count, and some people carried goods to the car, but it was rare to see wooden boxes and the like, occasionally there were jars covered with straw, and straw packages and even boxes were the most.

In addition to the cattle and horses cart to load goods, there is a small façade on one side, much like the shop regulations on the street of Zhengjiaji, many people queue up in front of the door, the open space outside the door is a little crowded, but it is very orderly, some people come out and leave with baskets, some people put the goods on the back of donkeys, and some people push carts, and more are delivered to them, take the money and leave.
