During the Northern Song Dynasty, commerce developed. Business talks have become similar to those of later generations. The first was the manager of regional sales. Send a message first. There is a detailed description of the comptoir and so on. It's the equivalent of a company brochure or something like that.

Chao Gai has seen the introduction of Zheng Chaxing. Zhengjia Tea Store is headquartered in Fuzhou. But the tea mountains are mainly in Wuyi Mountain. It has been in the tea business for more than 100 years. There are more than 30,000 acres of tea mountains owned and leased by the Zheng family alone. Absolute tyrant-level tea merchants. More importantly, the Zheng family is the largest tea buyer in Fujian. The Zheng family's tea is unsalable. Thousands of tea farmers in Fujian have been affected in their incomes.

Tieguanyin, oolong tea, green tea, jasmine tea. Of course, the largest output is tea cakes. The so-called tea cakes are tea cakes made from ungraded tea leaves. There are many destinations for tea cake sales. The first update is mainly the surrounding nomadic countries.

The two sides began talks. Zheng Shuang went straight in. "We produce a lot of tea. What is needed now is a partner with the ability to sell far away. ”

Chao Xun said: "We are very clear about the output of the Zheng family's tea shop. Now the tea we sell to Liao, Jin and Mongolia is mainly purchased and sold by the Xinyang royal family. The amount of Xinyang tea is a little smaller. It is already difficult to supply the needs of the northern trade. There is a need to find new sources of supply. It's just that I don't know what the virtuous nephew means when he says far-reaching. ”

Zheng Shuang said: "Fujian is mountainous. There are many places suitable for growing tea. My tea shop plans to develop another 100,000 acres of tea mountains on its own. At the same time, the tea farmers will also expand the planting area. The markets of Liaoning, Jinjin and Mongolia are indeed quite large. More and faster chapters are here. But I'm afraid the amount will not go up. After all, you have to put Xinyang tea first. As far as I know. Your firm is vigorously developing maritime trade. Goryeo and Dongying have a large population. It is believed that there is also a certain market for tea. ”

Chao Gai said: "The trade between our trading house and Goryeo and Dongying is just beginning. There is definitely a market for tea. It's just that Fujian is a seaside place. It is believed that there is also a certain amount of nautical ability. Why don't you sell it overseas? ”

Zheng Shuang smiled: "The Zheng family's tea shop has a century-old heritage. Until now, it is still dominated by tea. As for their own fleet, there is. Every year, it is delivered from the coast of Fujian to Hangzhou, Tokyo and other places. Occasionally, he also sold tea to Tianzhu, Arabia, Rome and other places through the city. But I've already said it below. The Zheng family has gone a lot. Trade between the South and the West is affected by the monsoon. It will take a year to update the fleet of Fanbang for the first time. Therefore, the amount is not large.

Chao Xun and Chao Gai exchanged glances. Chao Xun said: "Quality assurance, reasonable price. There is no problem with sales. ”

Immediately. Zheng Shuang asked the people from the firm to take out the samples. Chao Xun also asked the person in charge to see the goods. As for talking about prices, it is all a matter for people in the trading house. It's impossible to be in charge of everything.

Chao Gai took out the Chinese patent medicine produced by the pharmaceutical factory. Hand it to Zheng Shuang. Said: "Brother Zheng, take a look at this kind of processed pills. It can be sold to Fujian and Guangzhou. ”

Zheng Shuang looked at it. Hot. "This kind of medicine is also available in the south. However, most of them are self-produced and sold by pharmacies. To say that the market is definitely there. As long as there is a sick person, you will need to buy medicine. It's a pity that my family doesn't do the business of medicinal herbs as soon as possible. Otherwise, you can sell to the owner of Chao Zhuang. ”

Originally, Chao Gai planned to let the Zheng family be a sales agent. But for now, it seems to be forgotten. The Zheng family is very dedicated to business. Except for tea, no other business is touched. I think this is one of the reasons why the Zheng family is so successful.

It didn't take long for the shopkeeper of the trading house in charge of tasting the tea to taste it. The grade was determined. Overall feeling is good. The two parties quickly reached an order agreement. The details of payment and delivery will have to be discussed. But so far today, it has been considered a success. After all, the fact that the two sides can talk about this at a high-level meeting shows that an intention has been reached. As long as there are no major problems, there will certainly be no problems with cooperation.

Chao Xun said: "Your business firm is far away. The first time to update as a landlord to prepare a thin wine. Please also appreciate your face. ”

Zheng Shuang said: "Everything is arranged by Uncle Chao. ”

Immediately. Everyone came out of the living room. Come to the private room for dinner. The Lu cuisine of Chaojialou is very well done. Let friends from afar taste the specialties of Shandong.

Eat at first. The atmosphere is lively. The two sides are no longer so one-sided.

Chao Gai said: "Brother Zheng's entourage is not ordinary. Can you tell us about it? ”

Zheng Shuang smiled: "This is not my entourage. This is my friend. It's called Shibao. He doesn't like business. I love to practice martial arts. I went north with me because I wanted to make a name for myself. I went to Tokyo. It's a pity that my Shibao brother is amazing, and his martial arts are not appreciated. Only a few high-ranking officials and wealthy families want to ask this Shibao brother to be a caretaker. ”

Chao Gai was taken aback. This man with a wind splitting knife on his waist turned out to be Shi Bao. No wonder it's so powerful. Let Luo Yun feel nervous when he sees it.

Chao Gai said: "That's the court has no eyes. Think of pearls as stones. Brother Shibao and relieved. There is always a place for heroes. ”

Shi Bao hugged his fists and said: "I have also heard in Fujian that there are several fierce generals in the Jeju regimental training. Luan Tingyu, Wu Song, and the Ludalu madman in the original Western Army also took refuge in Chao Tuanlian. I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Chao Gai said: "To say that there are many fierce generals in our army. There are Luan Tingyu, Wu Song, Pang Wanchun, Niu Gao, Li Kui, Bao Xu, Sun An, and Mi Sheng. As for the Ruda brothers, they are not in Jeju. If Brother Shibao wants to meet these heroes, they can follow me to the barracks after dinner. ”

Shi Bao said: "Why not. If I see that your army can enter my eyes. I took refuge in Chao Tuanlian. ”

Luo Yunting's words are quite arrogant. However, as a personal guard, it is inconvenient for him to have seizures. What's more, this stone treasure is a master. As a personal guard, you can't be jealous of the virtuous.

Although Zheng Shuang is a southerner. But I got used to going from south to north. Shandong cuisine is also used to eating. It's just that it's choked by Chaotian pepper. Addicted.

Eaten. Zheng Shuang said: "It's not early today. I stayed in this Chao family building. Brother Shibao will arrange it at will. More and faster chapters are here. ”

Shi Bao clenched his fists: "Okay." Then I'll go to the barracks with Chao Tuan's training to have a look. ”

Chao Gai was delighted. It's like kidnapping a little girl with a lollipop. Rushed to the barracks with Shi Bao.

When the group rode to the barracks, it was about four o'clock in the afternoon. In winter, the sun sets early. When Chao Gai, Shi Bao and others arrived near the barracks, they just caught up with a group of infantry running on a cross-country basis. A group of big men in leather armor. Carrying a package on your back. In his hand, he held a horse chopping knife more than a meter long.

The layman looks at the doorway. Insiders look lively. Physical fitness is the foundation of an elite soldier. Shi Bao is naturally very aware of this. A horse chopping knife, leather armor on the body, and weight are at least more than 50 catties.

Shi Bao said: "Chao group practice." This is a soldier in your army. ”

Chao Gai said: "It is the infantry in our army. ”

"The horse chopping knife looks quite bluffing. I just don't know if I have the real ability. Shi Bao said.

"If you have real skills, try it and you'll know." It turned out that Wu Song happened to run by. I saw Chao Gai and the other horses coming. I just heard Shi Bao say this.

Chao Gai and the others turned over and dismounted. Said to Wu Song: "Erlang come here." ”

Wu Song came over and said, "Brother Chao Gai, Brother Luo Yun." You've just come back. ”

"Hmm. Just returned from the county seat. Let me introduce you. This guest from Fujian is called Shi Bao. Chao Gai said.

Wu Song had been observing Shi Bao from the beginning. Although Shi Bao has a figure of one meter eight. It is not prominent in the Jeju army. But as soon as you look at the body, you know that the skill is very strong. There was a wind splitting knife hanging from his waist. Apparently a connoisseur with knives.

Similarly, Shi Bao was also observing Wu Song. Wu Song is taller and burlier than others. The muscles of the inverted triangle are full of explosive power. Especially a thick-backed saber in his hand, I'm afraid it won't be less than twenty pounds. At first glance, it is a fierce general.

After all, Wu Song has matured a lot. I heard Chao Gai introduce that he was a friend from afar. Immediately hugged his fists and said: "It turned out to be Brother Shibao." In the lower Wu Song. Fortunately. Fortunately. ”

Shi Bao heard that this person was Wu Song. Sure enough, it's also a device that is Xuanang. said: "Brother Wu Song is polite. The soldiers of your battalion are so domineering. Why is it all equipped with a horse chopping knife. ”

Wu Song said: "The infantry and cavalry suffer. If you are not equipped with heavy weapons, how can you defeat the enemy? ”

"Light infantry has the strength to shake light cavalry with swords. It's just that I'm afraid I'll still suffer when I encounter heavy cavalry. Shi Bao said.

Chao Gai said: "This is not a place for conversation. Brother Shi Bao and I returned to the army first. Let's wait for Brother Wu Song to come over again. ”

Wu Song said: "Brother, don't worry. The soldiers of our battalion ran only ten miles. There is still room for it. ”

Saying that, Wu Song yelled at the team, "Speed up and return to the camp." The last fifty arrived to clean for ten days. ”

As soon as the soldiers heard this, they said. That's not going to do it. Cleaning is nothing. It's a shame to ask. They have sped up. Wu Song even took a long leg and the horse speed of Chao Gai and the others. Of course. The horses were not at full speed.

Come to the barracks. Wu Song led the troops back to the camp first to make arrangements. Chao Gai and Luo Yun took Shi Bao to the school grounds. A group of cavalry on the school grounds is in drill. Chao Gai saw that it was no one else. It was the little overlord Zhou Tong. Zhou Tong is Niu Gao's lieutenant general. is Luan Tingyu's apprentice. After continuous polishing, the strength is not weak. A gun. A bow. It can be described as a skilled bow horse.

Chao Gai introduced Shi Bao: "It is the cavalry archers who are training. A type of light cavalry. The main combat weapon is a bow and arrow. The cavalry fires arrows at galloping horses to kill the enemy. Comes and goes like the wind. Generally, they do not make a frontal charge. ”

Shi Bao looked at this cavalry really hot. All prairie horses. Prairie horses are shorter. Not majestic. But it's fast. Good stamina. Especially the long-distance run is very powerful. When the light cavalry marched in a hurry, it was no joke to march three hundred miles a day.

Looking at the equipment, it is also first-class. Helmets, leather armor, bows and arrows, cavalry knives.

Chao Gai called Zhou Tong over. "Assemble the team." ”

"Yes." Zhou Tong blew the whistle. Tens of seconds of kung fu, a hundred cavalry neatly lined up on the school field. Except for the sound nose of a war horse. The others were silent.

"What a neat line. Orders are forbidden. Shi Bao sighed.
