"Master, the matter you asked the people below to inquire about has been settled." In the study, a middle-aged scribe dressed in a long robe and cantilevered with his right hand was waving a book, when a servant came in and bowed to report.

"What's going on?" The scribe did not stop writing, but continued to write and ask questions as he wrote.

"It's just... It's about the team. The servant replied.

"Oh?" The scribe who was writing with his head bowed his eyes flashed with excitement, but he quickly concealed it, and wrote two more words before putting the pen on the inkstone, and then walked back to the chair and sat down, "Tell me carefully." ”

"Yes! A horse team, about the size of 2,000 horses, passed by our Liangtian Tunbao at dusk, and went to Dongbali Fort, if nothing else, it is the horse team that you have to pay attention to. ”

"Do you see that there are so many horses?" The scribe asked.

"I see clearly, sir, the little one also sent someone to follow for a while, this horse team is camped outside Dongbali Fort tonight, and it is indeed a huge scale."

"Well," the scribe nodded approvingly, "what else did you see after following this trip?" ”

"More than a thousand horses are loaded with wool, no carriages, no porters, by the way, there are few Han Chinese, there are many Mongols, and there seem to be a few... Born a girl, it is almost the same as what you described, master. ”

"Did you read that right?"

"Can't be wrong, master, although they have all changed into Hanfu, the smell of mutton on these tartars can be smelled from afar." The servant moved his nose as if he had actually smelled it.

"Alright, well done, let's go down." The middle-aged scribe forcibly resisted his excitement and commanded calmly.

"Yes, sir!"

After the next person withdrew from the study, the scribe suddenly stood up from the chair and laughed silently, he should make a fortune, the Fan family's dry stock seems to be his, since this caravan has been out of Xuanfu, then this Zhuoluji is most likely in Baoanzhou, and then it is Jingshi, someone in the Fan family told him that Zhuoluji is not in the area of Jingshi, but he remembers it clearly.

This is where the state capital of Baoan Prefecture is located - Liangtian Tunbao, Baoan Prefecture is sandwiched between Xuanfu and Jingshi, although the terrain is narrow, but the victory is in the critical position, neither under the jurisdiction of Shuntianfu, nor within the border towns of Xuanfu, the real boss is the Governor of Xuanda, such a small state, in the status is even higher than the general Zhili Prefecture.

Although Liangtian Tunbao is a state rule, in fact, it is not in the middle of the whole state, but it is very close to Xuanzhen, after the junction of Xuanfu and Baoan - Jiming Mountain, you can reach it on foot for a day, if there is a fast horse, it will be there in half a day.

Liangtian Tunbao is called Fort, in fact, there is a medium-sized county size, this is a military fort, but because it is located in the Jingshi to Xuanfu must pass through, since the border trade is prosperous, gradually prosperous, there are many small businesses, the big trading company also has a stronghold here, in the later period of the Apocalypse, the state capital was moved here.

However, since becoming the state capital, the management of Liangtian Tunpu has become more and more strict, and it is not so convenient to enter and exit, and the expansion trend has gradually stopped, and it has become prosperous in the east for more than 20 miles, and according to the modern point of view, it is a satellite city of Liangtian Tunbao.

In this way, it not only facilitates the management of Liangtian Tunbao, but also does not affect the interests of all large and small merchants, and the government is happy to see it, and the merchants are also very satisfied, which can be regarded as suitable for both the government and the people.

The middle-aged scribe's surname is especially Hongyuan, he is the same knowledge of Baozhou, the old Zhishi of the previous governor, the new Zhizhou has not yet arrived, and the current affairs of the entire Baoan Prefecture are large and small, and he You Hongyuan has decided in a word.

But don't look at You Hongyuan's smugness at the moment, but he knows that he is just a mere talent, but an official who donates money, and he will reach the top of his life to be a state and a county, and if he wants to be in charge of a state and a county, and be a real parent official, it is impossible to do not have the fame of a real person or even a jinshi.

Since there is no hope of promotion, thousands of miles to become an official, the only thing that can make him tempted is yellow and white.

As a fellow intellectual, in charge of a state's finances, even if he pressed Zhizhou on his head before, over the years, You Hongyuan has not made less money, but compared with his colleagues in Xuanfu next door, it is a little dwarfed, such a behemoth as Zhangjiakou is placed there, and people can only eat filial piety, but they can also suppress him.

In the past two years, You Hongyuan worked hard and finally got on the path of the Fan family, and he was counting on being able to give the Fan family a hand.

However, although the position of Baoan Prefecture is critical, it does not occupy anything in front of the Fan family, it is just a necessary place between the side and the Beijing Division, if you want to help you a lot, it is really not his turn, showing his face in front of the Fan family, there are few opportunities to please him, and naturally he does not get much benefit, so You Hongyuan has always been unwilling.

But there are always opportunities, a few days ago, the big shopkeeper of the Fan family here specially invited him, asking You Hongyuan to pay close attention to an upcoming caravan belonging to the Zhuolu Trading Company, and at the same time to find out the foothold of this caravan, that is, the location of Zhuolu Ji, during the banquet revealed to him that no matter who it is, as long as this matter is done well, the Zhuolu Trading Company will be destroyed, and the head of the Fan family, Master Fan Xuan, personally promised that he would divide him into half of the dry shares.

After You Hongyuan heard this, his eyes turned red on the spot, half of it sounded like a dry stock, which didn't sound much, but he knew that he would not be able to make so much money even if he was a lifelong acquaintance.

It's just that the name of Zhuoluji is really ear-catching, You Hongyuan has been in Baoan Prefecture for a long time, how can there be an impression of the names of various places, but this Zhuoluji is unheard of, so it seems that if Zhuoluji is not a small and unheard of market town, it must be the internal name of this trading company according to its own name, and outsiders do not know.

In this case, it would be a waste of time to inquire about the location of Zhuoluji, You Hongyuan focused his attention on this horse team with obvious characteristics, as long as they arrived at their own territory and sent someone to follow them, wouldn't they know where Zhuoluji was.

Hmph, as long as these people are in Baoanzhou, they won't be able to escape from their own Five Finger Mountain, You Hongyuan thought proudly.

By the way, why did you forget to explain that you want them to continue tracking this horse team? was really too excited, You Hongyuan patted his head in frustration.

Or call someone in now, and give orders to go down? Forget it, it seems that they are not stable enough, anyway, they are going to spend the night in Dongbalibao tonight, and it will be too late to arrange it after dinner.

Wait a minute! Zhuolu Trading Company, Zhuolu Collection?

You Hongyuan suddenly felt that the word "Zhuolu" was a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, this feeling was that he had it before, and it was even stronger today.

After pacing back and forth in the study a few times, You Hongyuan finally didn't think about it, so he had to give up.
