Chapter 420: Entering Qingtang

From the conversation with Zhang Yi, Li Yan knew very well that their purpose this time was not just to sell these goods and exchange them for war horses.

They also want to establish their own trade channels and look for partners who can cooperate with them for a long time in Qingtang.

If you perform well this time, then you will definitely be able to get a piece of the pie in the future.

And the business done by big people like Zhang Yi and them is not comparable to their petty fights.

Let's put it this way, the profit from their previous trip is not enough for Zhang Yi and them to raise so many shrewd and capable subordinates, look at those fat war horses, and then look at those warriors on war horses, which one is not five big and three thick, and that one is not a well-equipped body.

To tell the truth, with such strength, let alone him Li Yan, even those who have heads and faces in the Hehuang region may not be able to compare, these people can be regarded as the top group of wealthy businessmen in Datang.

The caravan hung behind the Tubo soldiers and rushed to Qingtang, hurrying slowly, Zhang Yi and the others still couldn't reach Qingtang before dark.

In one afternoon, they drove almost a hundred miles, but now they have reached the junction of Datang and Tubo, and a little further on, they are about to enter the Qingtang boundary.

During the war, although the Tang Dynasty did not have the habit of attacking Tibet, the Tibetans still did not let down their guard, and the border was still heavily guarded, especially in important commercial and trade places like Qingtang.

Zhang Yi asked people to find a very remote leeward hillside, and then let everyone start to rest.

Although it was night, they did not dare to make a fire, everyone just ate dry food, and then began to rest.

The night was still a little cold in Hehuang, but fortunately, they brought a little warm clothing this time, so that they would not be frozen in the big night.

After sending a team of people to keep vigil, Zhang Yi couldn't help but fall asleep with fatigue, and rode his war horse so far during the day, although his body was now considered strong, he still felt very tired.

There was no fire, and at night, there would not be that Tibetan person who was idle and bored to run to such a place, so there was nothing to do all night.

Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Xu Jingzong urged everyone to start their journey.

Zhang Yi woke up and hurriedly ate something and followed everyone to hurry, to be honest, he couldn't brush his teeth with green salt in the morning, Zhang Yi was indeed a little unaccustomed, but now is a special period, so he doesn't care so much.

Under the leadership of Li Yan, the group bypassed the army of the Tubo people and quietly slowly bypassed the path into Qingtang.

I have to say that the Li Yan family has been running to Qingtang for several generations, and they are living by trading with the Tubo people, and they are naturally familiar with these.

If they want to enter Qingtang, it is estimated that they can only buy off the Tubo defenders over there, but according to the current situation, as long as they dare to appear in front of those Tubo people with so many things, then without waiting for themselves to speak, those Tubo people will kill all the people on their side and bring back the goods as their trophies.

Before the sun came out, Li Yan took Zhang Yi and others for more than an hour to spare forty or fifty miles, and finally entered the territory of Qingtang.

Li Yan's family has been in Qingtang elite for several generations, and they still have very rich connections here, as soon as everyone arrived in Qingtang, Li Yan immediately took Zhang Yi and others to a friend's house.

A small house with two entrances and two exits is too ordinary in those places in Chang'an to be in an ordinary house, but in a place like Qingtang, only high-ranking families can afford to live in it.

Li Yan quietly took Zhang Yi and others to the back door to knock on the door, and after knocking a few times regularly, the door immediately opened with a clang.

The one who opened the door was a Han man, who looked like a housekeeper, when he saw Li Yan, there was a joy in his eyes, and when he saw Zhang Yi and others, his eyes were full of vigilance, if it weren't for Li Yan's existence, Zhang Yi believed that he would definitely close the door without hesitation.

"Who are these?" The housekeeper pointed to Zhang Yi and the others and asked.

Li Yan looked left and right, and then said, "Steward Wang, you can trust it, let's go in first, let's talk about it, we have the goods." ”

Hearing that he was carrying the goods, the person named Wang Steward didn't say anything anymore, turned sideways and let Zhang Yi and the others in, obviously he also knew what the situation was recently.

However, the back door was not big enough, so Zhang Yi had to only unload the salt and other things from Wang Wu and the others and move them into the house.

Before entering the mansion, Zhang Yi made a gesture to Wang Wu, and Wang Wu understood, so he immediately supported a few young people to wander around.

Dozens of truckloads of goods, that's 200 bags of things, more than 100 people can move, and it can be done in a quarter of an hour.

And while they were carrying the goods, the owner of the house had already come over.

"Brother Xian, why are you here, I heard a few days ago that your goods were robbed by these Tubo people, is this true or false?"

The owner of this house is also a Han man, but he is older, about forty years old, and he patted Li Yan's shoulder familiarly as soon as he came over.

And Zhang Yi can also see from Li Yan's expression that the two of them are very familiar, and they are not hypocritical.

"This matter, alas, is a long story, but it was indeed robbed by those Tubo." Li Yan shook his head, it was obvious that he was still worried about this matter.

"By the way, eldest brother, let me introduce you first, these are merchants from Chang'an, and my task this time is to bring them to Qingtang."

Li Yan pointed to Zhang Yi and the others behind him and began to introduce, and at this time, the young men who moved the goods also moved all the goods into the house, and more than 200 bags of goods filled the cellar and warehouse of the Wang family.

The young men who have finished moving the goods are now all standing behind Zhang Yi and others, Rao is Wang Zaixu has seen a lot of big scenes, and he still feels very imposing.

"This is my eldest brother Wang Zaixu, the ancestors of our two families went to Qingtang together and ran goods together, until now, our two families can be regarded as world friends."

After Li Yan introduced Zhang Yi and others, he introduced Wang Zaixu to Zhang Yi and others, and the two sides greeted each other, which can be regarded as acquaintances.

"Since it's Big Brother Li's eldest brother, then we're welcome, we still need your care in the future."

As soon as he finished the introduction, Zhang Yi took the lead in going up to say hello, after all, this is someone's house, and as a guest, he should take the initiative.

"There, Brother Zhang has seen the outside, and now in Qingtang, it is not easy to meet Han people, especially those who dare to run goods here at this time, Wang is even more admired."

Wang Zaixu also arched his hand towards Zhang Yi as he spoke.

Zhang Yi has such a big battle here, no matter how stupid Wang Zaixu is, he knows that his family background definitely belongs to a very strong category, so now he is also planning to befriend Zhang Yi.
