Before the winter, the caravan not only brought back those goods from the Northland that could make huge profits, but also the news provided by Shi Lei, inviting other nobles to come here to engage in slave trading, and at the same time, he also explained the idea of exchanging soju for slaves to them in detail, which can be said to be a very mature business plan.

And those nobles who never have a satisfied appetite did not disappoint Shi Lei, there were also some nobles who were engaged in similar trade, but they paid more attention to those Silla maids who were very popular in Datang.

The cost of inferior soju is really low to a negligible level for these nobles, and they have a lot of land in their homes, and the continuous harvests in recent years have long filled their granaries to the brim, and they have to worry about dealing with the moldy grain from time to time, and now they finally find a good place for them.

In addition, as long as Shi Lei sees the scale of the escort team in their caravan, it is not difficult to understand that these noble families do not plan to be honest businessmen, and they inevitably have to go out to fight the grass valley, they are all ruthless characters who are used to licking blood with knives in their families, and if you want to simply protect the safety of the caravan, you can't use so many strong hob meat.

Shi Lei was not interested in being verbose with these old killers, but just placed some orders with them by the way, asking them to pay attention to whether there were warriors of various clans, and if there were any captured ones, they would definitely be kept for the Shi family.

Everyone knew that Shi Lei liked to subdue tough guys, so they all nodded knowingly, and took the soju they brought over, and went headlong into the white mountains and black waters.

Under these people, there are family members who are accustomed to the local situation who are responsible for leading the way, and Shi Lei does not have to worry about it at all. And since he came out to do this kind of business, life and death have their own destiny, and if they really have a good deal, they can't complain about him Shi Lei.

At most, when there is a real problem, if it is not far from Pingzhou, Shi Lei can still lead the troops to the rescue, and it will be benevolent.

If they really run away, it will depend on their own creation, if they are besieged, even if Shi Lei takes people there, it is difficult to say whether they can catch up with them and collect their corpses, there is no shortage of all kinds of fierce beasts in the Northeast, and there are also heavy-tasting guys who like to digest all kinds of corpses.

After sending away these guys who didn't even cherish their lives in order to make money, Shi Lei sat down and chatted with the big shopkeeper of his caravan.

When they came over this time, they must have fulfilled their previous agreement, and traded with those foreign businessmen who had begun to gather in Pingzhou after the beginning of spring, at least there were many fewer people in Pingzhou who were stealing business with them than in Youzhou.

Of course, they didn't really come over empty-handed, wasn't that a waste of their transportation capacity, in addition to bringing a moderate amount of soju, this kind of hard currency in the north, used to complete the trade with foreign races, the Shi family's most accessible luxury goods, also brought some over.

Next to it is Youzhou, the central city in the north, which also gathers a lot of real rich people, of course, the big shopkeeper does not mind expanding his own business, but also here, this is also a huge market, and relatively speaking, it needs to be further developed, there is more potential to be tapped.

After all, this place is still not close to Chang'an, for real luxury, and top-level enjoyment, there is still a lack of understanding, the Shi family is the absolute top level in this field, I believe that it can open a new world of burning money for them.

However, what Shi Lei values more is definitely the promotion effect of the Shijia caravan on the local area after it settled in Pingzhou, and the effect can be said to be immediate, because the number of foreign merchants who entered Pingzhou to seek business opportunities this year has increased significantly compared with previous years.

This is the change brought about by the Shijia caravan, a wave of huge orders, it is easy to stimulate this originally not very active market.

And the spokesmen of the other noble families who traveled with the Shi family's caravan were not all here for foreign slaves. After all, there were only a few people engaged in the slave trade, so most of the caravans that came over this time stayed in Pingzhou, intending to find another stable source of goods and distribution, which was also a cheaper alternative.

However, in addition to imagining the future of the caravan with the big shopkeeper, and studying the future business development of Pingzhou by the way, Shi Lei also received another important news.

Many nobles who are familiar with the Shi family, including Lao Yue Cheng Biting Jin and the two gate gods, have faintly sent news, which means that several of them had some uncompetitive protégés before, and now they are all staying in Taihang Mountain.

Although he is also a character like the king of the mountain, he has no bad deeds, but he can't be constrained by the court, or because his previous background is not very good, so he found this kind of three-way area to stay and live his own small life honestly.

I heard that a group of killing gods have appeared in Taihang Mountain recently, saying that someone has seen the face of the leader, it may be Shi Lei's hunter uncle, from the perspective of his approach, it is also very similar to this famous figure in the early years, Cheng Biting Jin They know some of the previous things of several uncles, so they feel that this matter should be the hidden power of the Shi family, and they took action under the leadership of the hunter uncle.

If the strength of the Shi family really has the meaning of dominating Taihang Mountain, they can also stand on the side of the Shi family and help the people of the Shi family to take the position as soon as possible, and they will also respect the Shi family's subordinates as co-masters, just hoping to maintain their relatively independent strength.

There is no need for Uncle Fan to help explain this from the side, Shi Lei himself can understand what they mean.

Although it is said vaguely, what disobedient protégés are old, in fact, it is not the same as what the Shi family did, and a retreat was prepared in Taihang Mountain. They may also help to do some smuggling and other transactions for each family, but the main thing should be to reserve an escape route for them.

These nobles of the Tang Dynasty have no concept of going to the sea, but they have a lot of knowledge of the vast world in the north, and they have all gone there to fight, so when they want to manage a retreat, the first thing that comes to mind must be here.

Moreover, the special geographical location and landform of Taihang Mountain have determined that this is a very suitable place to hide soldiers, and it is easy to understand that they have lined up people here, and the Shi family themselves have also chosen this place as the real northern retreat.

It's just that it seems that the Shi family has risen too fast, and it has inadvertently broken the tacit understanding between these top nobles and almost destroyed their foundation in Taihang Mountain.

It seems that the so-called bandits here are serious, and it is very likely that this gang of nobles joined forces to create a scene. After all, it is a nobleman who has reached a certain level, and it is indispensable to maintain a certain degree of vigilance against the imperial power.

The so-called family and country are in the world, and the family will always be in front of the country, and it is really not difficult to understand that they have such actions. When Shi Lei hadn't reached such a high position, wasn't he also constantly making all kinds of preparations.

Shi Lei only had a slight headache, how to make up for the suspicion that this matter might cause. Although people said politely, it was because these people who spoke out were all people who were really close to the Shi family, and other muffled nobles didn't know what to think of the Shi family's actions at this time.
