Chapter 255: Arriving in Lanzhou
Qiu Niang can't get any benefit at all under You Jingyan's mouth.
Besides, You Jingyan said that, how could Qiu Niang not understand, no one can guarantee that the front will be smooth all the way, so in order not to attract attention, the only way for them is to find a suitable valley to camp.
In order to strive to reach the destination as soon as possible.
In fact, after arriving at the destination, the real test for them begins.
In this way, there was a lot of trouble along the way, although it took a little later than expected, but it was a smooth arrival.
Lanzhou is an important transportation hub connecting the northwest region, and it is also the border area between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, so it is the most reasonable choice to take Lanzhou as their gateway to the Western Xia.
Because, Lanzhou also has advantages over several other places.
His prosperity is much larger than that of any other place that links to Western Xia, so many merchants who do business with Western Xia will use Lanzhou as a transit point.
You Jingyan will not arouse the suspicion of the spies if he follows the public.
As early as when they were still dozens of miles away from Lanzhou, You Jingyan reduced the number of people in their group.
Even in a large caravan, you have seen a person who led a thousand people to do business, but these 1,000 people eating, drinking, and sleeping can make you pay for your death, and no one will come here to find guilt in the wind and sun.
Lanzhou is also an important transportation hub of the Silk Road, and for so long, it has never passed here with such a large team.
So the only thing You Jingyan could do was to compress his own establishment, he only brought three hundred people, and they were all carefully selected, and the rest of them were stationed in batches on the mountains more than ten kilometers away from Lanzhou.
You Jingyan knew that these people would definitely become his magic weapon for surprise victory.
It is worth mentioning that the question of who will stay also makes them have a lot of arguments, and none of them want to stay, because those who stay are likely to return in vain, after all, a large part of the reason they came this time is to test the waters.
Maybe try and it's all about them.
You Jingyan and Di Qing were there with their hands and watched their disputes to argue, only Di Qing and You Jingyan were the main forces of this operation, so they were indispensable, even if they didn't have to fight, it was necessary to go.
So if you have enough ability, then there are some things that you don't have to fight for, and they are yours after all, if you don't have the ability, then even if you force yourself to earn it, you will eventually lose it.
Therefore, if you want to succeed, the first thing you need to cultivate is your own ability.
In the end, it was Wu Protector and Cao Jingxiu who remained.
Wu Protector's temper is too hot, and Cao Jingxiu is too weak, and the two of them are really not suitable for undercover work.
Originally, You Jingyan didn't want Qiu Niang to go, after all, with Qiu Niang's status as a woman and her beauty, she would inevitably be owed by people with bad intentions.
But people put forward a series of ideas, and You Jingyan was speechless.
There is no choice but to go through, maybe this Qiu Niang will really surprise them when they are in danger.
It's just that Cao Jingxiu was bitter, and begged You Jingyan bitterly: "Jingyan, you just let me go with me, I can also help, okay..."
"It doesn't seem to work, your strength is too weak, and it will hold us back." You Jingyan said with a ruffian.
Cao Jingxiu seemed to have received a huge blow, and said very disappointedly: "Although this is a fact, you can't say it directly like this, it's too sad." ”
"Hehehe, Jingxiu." You Jingyan smiled and said: "The tasks left behind are equally important, and you may be the most important hole card for us to save our lives." ”
When You Jingyan said this, Cao Jingxiu felt better, he was already too weak, and with You Jingyan, they would indeed support other people's hind legs, so it was safer to stay.
After choosing a good person, You Jingyan set off with 300 people and more than 20 truckloads of goods.
Many merchants who do some small business want to do business with them, and the local people are even more eager to exchange goods with Youjingyan and them.
Because although Lanzhou is the land of the Great Song Dynasty, but after all, it is close to the wilderness, the yellow sand is a significant symbol here, so the bad weather is destined to limit the development here, so poverty, and Bianliang's economy is undoubtedly revealed.
Bianliang is the existence that the people here yearn for, and it is estimated that You Jingyan said that even if they brought the bowls used by the beggars in Bianliang to beg, they would spend a lot of money to buy them.
That's human nature.
You Jingyan saw that he was so sought-after, but he was willing to trade these goods with the people here, and then take these meat and skins back to Bianliang, which would definitely pay off.
Not to mention the return to the cost, it is estimated that it will have to be doubled.
It's just that he's not here to make money.
"Li Bing, tell them that we are going to Xia to trade and exchange, and we will not trade with the people of the Great Song Dynasty." You Jingyan actually gave such an order.
"Respectfully, in this way, I am afraid that we have no place on the land of the Great Song Dynasty, don't look at the past few years, we seem to have gotten along with Xia very well, but Xia often brings cavalry to harass our people on the border of the Great Song Dynasty, the people here hate them to the core, once the people here know that we have such thoughts, it is very likely to bring us trouble."
At this time, Di Qing had already played his role, and he had also been stationed at the border, so in such an environment, Di Qing still understood.
"Brother Di, what we want is this effect, we have to shape ourselves into a businessman who forgets his righteousness, so that those people can relax their vigilance, you think, people like us who forget their righteousness, what family and country feelings, what ancestral inheritance, what does it have to do with us, no matter what your identity is, as long as you can bring us benefits."
You Jingyan smiled and analyzed: "If not, how can a huge caravan like ours avoid some people's ideas after entering the summer." ”
"Don't look at this time, it seems that the relationship between our Western Xia is calm, but Li Yuanhao's wolf ambition is obvious, we not only see it ourselves, but he himself is also weak-hearted. We swaggered in like this, if Li Yuanhao was put on guard, it would be really bad. ”
As the leader of the team, the most important thing is to speak openly and honestly about his ideas, so that there is no gap, and teamwork without gaps will appear solid and long-lasting.
This is Youjingyan's consistent code of conduct.
After You Jingyan finished saying this, Di Qing also suddenly realized, You Jingyan seemed to be very reasonable.
With this layer of disguise, no one would doubt that You Jingyan would be a spy sent by the Great Song Dynasty, so that a surprise would become a big deal.
