Chapter 56: The Ancient Tea Horse Road is changing more and more
When everyone was ready to stop, they were all dressed as merchants, and they brought some goods and mules and horses.
At this time, Mu Tusi came to everyone, and he came to practice for everyone.
"Mu Tusi, you're welcome." Zhu Houzhao said,
"The send-off is necessary, it should be." Mu Tusi said,
"You guys are going, I have prepared two translators for you, they are all my subordinates, there is some kung fu, otherwise you have to take care of them, they used to go there all the year round, they are very familiar with the road traffic there, the language and folk customs are also very familiar, it is helpful to you." Mu Tusi said,
"Thank you, Toast-sama, that's great." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Well, these people have been strictly selected by me, so there should be no problem, don't worry." Mu Tusi said,
"It's rare for an adult to be so careful." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Then let's go, Lord Toast, and take our leave." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Have a nice trip." Lord Toast arched his hand,
When Zhu Houzhao was leaving, he didn't see the wooden wind chime, he was wondering, whether this little girl was asleep, or not, it was okay if she didn't go, the main reason was that it was too dangerous, and she wouldn't worry about herself if she didn't go.
When Zhu Houzhao and everyone came outside the city,
Zhu Houzhao said to everyone, "It's still the old rule, this time because you want to take the ancient tea horse road, you five people, with me and Miss Feng and Mu Lan, and the rest of you will follow me under the leadership of Master Zhang." ”
"Yes, my lord." The guards replied,
Everyone acted separately, Zhu Houzhao took part of the mule and horse goods here, a translator, and some porters began to move forward.
"What are you thinking?" Feng Zhongyun looked at Zhu Houzhao thinking, she asked,
"I'm thinking about what I'll encounter today." Zhu Houzhao said,
"It's hard to say what happens in life, everything is predetermined, we just work hard." The swallow in the wind said,
"Well, that's right." Zhu Houzhao said,
At this time, in the distance, Zhu Houzhao saw a person in front of her, she was riding a horse, standing there, as if it was a beautiful landscape,
Zhu Houzhao was stunned: "Wind chime!"
At this time, Mu Fengchi saw Zhu Houzhao and his party, and she rushed over on horseback.
"Big brother." When Mu Fengchi approached, she stopped her horse and smiled at Zhu Houzhao,
"Wind chimes, you really have yours, why didn't you come just now." Zhu Houzhao asked,
"Hehe, I don't let my father see it, otherwise he will be a mother-in-law, every time I leave, I leave quietly, anyway, he knows that I have practiced martial arts, and he will not suffer any losses." Wood wind chime,
"Okay, haha, you scared me by standing there, I thought it was a robbery." Zhu Houzhao said,
"I'm fainting, have you ever seen such a beautiful robber, big brother, don't dream." Moulin said,
"Yes, reality is more exciting than dreams." The swallow in the wind said,
Mu Fengchi covered her mouth and laughed there, she knew that the two of them were teasing Zhu Houzhao,
Zhu Houzhao was a little embarrassed, he laughed, and then said: "Alas, who called everyone a person with a story." ”
Everyone laughed,
And they began to march further south.
Along the way, Zhu Houzhao was very curious about the customs and customs along the way, and the wooden wind chimes told him one by one.
In this way, Zhu Houzhao basically has some understanding of the customs and customs of various ethnic groups.
Especially those nationalities, many nationalities, the wooden wind chimes have basically told you, where the costumes, living habits, and places of residence of various ethnic groups are, Zhu Houzhao has written them down one by one.
"It's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles." Zhu Houzhao sighed,
"Yes, if you don't get to the south, you don't know it's difficult." Moulin said,
"You're just pampered, Mu Lan, you don't have to come out for a walk in the future, how good." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile,
"Sister Mulan, don't pay attention to him, he obviously pampers himself, and he still says that you, alas, are shameless to such a point." The swallow in the wind said,
"Oh, you guys actually have a front, alas, it's okay, Sister Wind Chime and I have a front, isn't it." Zhu Houzhao said,
"I'm sorry, big brother, in this matter, I am on the same front with my two sisters." Wood Wind Chime said with a smile,
"Alas, I'm alone." Zhu Houzhao sighed,
Mu Lan originally wanted to say that you were originally alone, but then you held back,
When Zhu Houzhao and his entourage gradually walked on the rugged mountain road, they dismounted and walked slowly.
Zhu Hou looked at the continuous mountains and thought to himself, this place is indeed very difficult.
"This is the ancient tea horse road, the previous tea porcelain is from Kunming, Yunnan, and then to Lijiang, Dali, and then from here to Myanmar, and then diverge from India and other places, you see here the mountain road is rugged, many times it is still a plank road, there are a lot of miasma diseases on the road, and many people fall on the road." Wooden wind chimes said,
At this time, Zhu Houzhao saw a lot of white bones on the mountain road,
"These white bones are all merchants who come and go, and sometimes they lie on the side of the road when they fall ill, and then if no one cares, they die and become white bones." Zhu Houzhao sighed,
Along the way they heard the bells of the passing horses, and the people used local ponies to carry a lot of goods.
Zhu Houzhao felt that this was a scenery that he could not see in the Forbidden City,
The blue sky above his head, the ringing of bells in his ears, Zhu Houzhao felt that he was also a merchant on the extreme edge of the south of the colorful clouds.
When they were halfway away, at this time, Zhu Houzhao heard the conversation of the merchants from Tengyue,
"Now Tengyue is not at peace, there is a problem in Tian Tusi's family, Tian Tusi's younger brother wants to seize power, Tian Tusi's younger brother has gathered a lot of troops to besiege Tengchong City, and now there is chaos there, we don't know what to do, many people are waiting outside the city." People who have just been to Tengyue said,
"Then what's wrong with your goods?" Those who passed by from this side said,
"Alas, at such a time, some local merchants come to receive goods at a low price, they are on good terms with both sides of the war, and they also have a lot of cash, you know that the merchants we are familiar with either do not go out of the city, or do not know what the future holds, they are all there to stand still, but these people who can pay at a low price They know that we come from afar, if the goods are not sold, the cost will be higher, so they come to buy at a low price, I calculated, their bid is lower than our total cost, but if we don't sell to them, Our losses are even greater,
So I sold it to them, at this time, it's good to have such a person, otherwise we will be even more miserable, now we will go back first, and wait for the situation to calm down. The merchant who had returned from Tengyue said,
"That's the case, so what are we going to do?" The man who had just walked to Tengyue was saying to another merchant who was also going that way,
"We've arrived here, we can't go back, it's a big loss to go back, it's better to go like this, if it doesn't work, we will sell it at a low price, maybe the war of their Tian family is over." Another merchant said,
"Alas, that's the only way, I still expect to build a big house after I go back from this sale, I've worked hard for many years, and I should have a nest, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, it's really unlucky." The merchant said,
"Natural disaster**, what can be done?" Another merchant sighed,
Zhu Houzhao saw such a conversation, and glanced at Mu Lan and Feng Zhongyan,
"Don't worry, calm down and wait until we get there." The swallow in the wind said,
"Yes, Sister Feng is right, let's talk about it when we arrive, maybe it will be solved soon." Moulin also came over and said,
"Okay, let's get up to speed." Zhu Houzhao said,
