Xu Mingyuan shook his head with a smile and said: "It's just a map, it's useless for me to keep it, I will tell you that I am ready to give it to you, and how can I take thirty percent of your profits." However, as Brother Bai said, the Bai Barbarians in Tubo and the north of Nanzhao are never soft on the merchants of Dawan. If you really want to do it, it is best to find two guides who are familiar with the road from Tianzhu to the Western Regions, and then find a few masters to escort you, and the team should be as simple as possible, just transport silk, and don't touch those bulky and difficult things.

Jiannan Road Shu embroidery can be called a must, silk is not worse than Jiangnan Road, can be purchased in Jiannan Road high-quality silk and Shu embroidery, shipped to Tianzhu and the big food country, are a million profits. When he returned, he exchanged all of them for jewelry, jade, agate, and amber, and he could make another fortune when he returned to Dawan. Although the cost of hiring a master is higher, the team is smaller, the risk will be much smaller, and even if you encounter a horse thief, you can protect yourself. ”

Zhou Binjie stubbornly shook his head when he heard this: "This is not a simple map, at this eventful time, if you can bypass Nanzhao and Tubo, not only reduce the route, but also avoid many risks, if you let those rich businessmen know this map, it can be called a priceless treasure." Brother Yuan, you don't have to be in a hurry to refuse, if you want to open up this trade route, it will take a year or two to say the least, and then I will help you with the share that is recorded in the account. ”

Seeing this, Xu Ming no longer continued to shirk, and with Zhou Binjie's temperament, the things he decided were also very strong. As Zhou Binjie said, this opening up a business route is not an overnight thing, and it takes a lot of time to prepare in advance.

"I'm guarding the border of the Three Kingdoms, I have the military layout of Tubo and Nanzhao here, although it's not good to take out all of them, but I can still take out a copy of the general map, Bin Jie, you send a few clever people to investigate first, if it works, it is indeed a profitable job."

"Okay, then it's decided, I'm looking for my father to sum up, if you take silk and Shu embroidery directly from others, the estimated price is not low, take advantage of this time to prepare, open a few big workshops by yourself, recruit some skilled embroiderers, this is not a difficult thing." Zhou Binjie slapped his palms, he had already made a decision, and his personality was indeed decisive.

Zhou Jingfan is an old man in business, and with him as a gatekeeper, Bai Zhexiu and Bai Molou no longer make other suggestions. Xu Mingyuan didn't say much, speaking of which, this was just what he had seen along the way, and it was impossible to let him operate this series of things alone.

Zhou Binjie sat down again, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all, calmed down a little, and then looked at Xu Mingyuan and said with a smile: "By the way, Brother Yuan, hasn't Xiao Lingling been learning embroidery recently, and when my workshop opens, let her go to me to embroider, and save her from being wronged by others." ”

"You have a heart." Xu Mingyuan smiled and said, Zhou Bin is willing to take care of Guo Cailing and their family, which is naturally what he is willing to see.

"Aunt Liu treats me well, it's just that Lingling's little girl only talks hello, and the four treasures of the study I sent are thrown aside, and I only use what you sent." Zhou Binjie said with some grievances.

"Whether it's about talent or looking at face, that little girl's eyes are very normal." Bai Molou took the wine glass and drank it down, writing lightly.

"Bai Molou, don't think that I won't dare to beat you if you leave in two days, this is my territory." Zhou Binjie said angrily.

"Why don't you fight, Mingyuan and I will watch, and no one will help." Bai Zhexiu didn't think it was messy enough, and said with a smile.

Without the Qingqi and the wine-pouring maids, the four young people drank a lot of wine by themselves, chatted about the world, and thought of a lot of nonsense and nonsense.

Although Bai Zhexiu is a few years older than them, his temperament is similar to them, otherwise he would not have been able to do the kind of thing that led people to beat Li Lixin like yesterday.

In the end, the four of them couldn't count the wine they drank tonight, and even Bai Zhexiu and Xu Mingyuan, who had the best amount of alcohol, were in a daze.

Originally, Zhou Binjie wanted to keep Xu Mingyuan in the Forget Worry Building for the night, and then find an Oiran to help him warm the bed, but Xu Mingyuan, who was already a little confused, insisted on going back, so Zhou Binjie could only tell Heizi to take Xu Mingyuan back in a carriage.

When Xu Mingyuan was leaving, he still remembered saying goodbye to Chang'an with Bai Molou, who was also drunk, and made an appointment with Bai Zhexiu to drink together next time, and got drunk directly when he got into the carriage.

The carriage went out of Xicheng, bumpy all the way, and when it arrived at the foot of Micang Mountain, Xu Mingyuan also woke up, jumped off the carriage, and threw up while holding on to the cypress tree on the side of the road.

The sunspot picked up Xu Mingyuan's bamboo box, stood aside and waited for Xu Mingyuan to breathe before he said, "Young Master Xu, I'll send you up the mountain." ”

Xu Mingyuan wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, took the bamboo box in Heizi's hand, shook his head with a smile, and said, "No need, you go back, I can walk up to this Micang Mountain with my eyes closed." ”

As he spoke, he threw the bamboo box on his shoulder and staggered towards the mountain.

The sunspot looked at Xu Mingyuan's back with some concern, but thinking of the previous incident of forgetting worries and building Xu Mingyuan to kill the three heroes of Heshuo, he smiled rarely, got into the carriage and pulled the reins, and turned around and headed towards Shuzhou City.

Xu Mingyuan vomited, he was already much sober when he was blown by the breeze in the mountains, and walked to the top of the mountain road for a while, but the scene of killing Heshuo Sanxiong in the Forget Worry Building was unconsciously replayed in his mind, and the stomach that had just calmed down began to feel uncomfortable again, and he couldn't help but vomit again while holding on to the tree next to the trail.

I forgot for the time being with the strength of the wine and those soothing tunes, how could it be so easy to forget the scene of not killing for the first time, and the feeling of grasping the stomach and intestines and constantly twisting kept coming, Xu Mingyuan vomited all the wine and food he drank tonight, and in the end, only bitter water remained.

Xu Mingyuan sat on the stone steps, exhaled a few long breaths, gently stroked his lower abdomen, took out the water bladder from the bamboo box and drank two sips, smiled and said to the air in front of him: "The three of you will be reincarnated in peace, there should be a lot of unjust souls who died under your knife, just let me avenge them, the rivers and lakes are uneven, there are people who come to step on them, and they don't leave a line, don't blame others for being ruthless." ”

Xu Mingyuan got up and walked towards the mountain, his mind had calmed down, if it was such a river and lake, what if he killed it with a sword, how could he not kill someone.

……

Three days later, at the north city gate, a quaint carriage and a team of cavalry wearing light armor slowly drove out of the city gate under the admiring gaze of the soldiers defending the city.

Xu Mingyuan and Zhou Binjie stood at the gate of the city, watching the carriage and convoy disappear from sight, before turning around and entering Shuzhou City.

Baimolou went to Chang'an, and this Shuzhou city is also a lot lonely.

……

A month later, the day of the township trial list finally arrived, midsummer turned into autumn in a blink of an eye, and the osmanthus on the side of the road had a little yellow flower to decorate the branches, fragrant.

Xu Mingyuan freshened up early, changed into a clean half-old robe, and carried a few treasures on his body, and then went down the mountain towards Shuzhou City.

I don't know how much more lively the township test list is compared to the hospital test list, and the yamen gate of the list has been surrounded by all kinds of scholars, if it weren't for the two teams to catch and stop it, I'm afraid that the officials who want to enter the yamen today will have to enter through the side door.

Xu Mingyuan ate breakfast and walked slowly to the yamen, but he was also frightened by the formation in front of him.

Although there are only ten places on the list, as long as it is not a scholar who has no confidence in himself and has given up, he will definitely die if he takes a look at it here today.

Xu Mingyuan looked at it on tiptoe, and broke off the idea of squeezing inside, anyway, as soon as this list is released, there will be people standing inside who can't help but read it out loud, so it is better to wait outside and listen.

Xu Mingyuan stood still under a tree, and there were two weak-looking scholars beside him, probably because they were too thin to squeeze in. The two glanced at Xu Mingyuan, nodded slightly, and then talked about it again, basically saying that there would be someone on the list in this township test, and the people who said it should be people who are quite famous among Shuzhou scholars.

Xu Mingyuan listened to it for a while, and none of the people they said had heard of it, so he stopped listening to it, and looked around the crowd instead.

In addition to the scholars who participated in the township examination, there were also a lot of Tsing Yi small girls at the entrance of the yamen, relatively speaking, more people on the list of the township examination were poor scholars, so compared with the hospital examination, the general wealthy businessmen preferred these scholars on the list of the township examination. Regardless of whether you can be admitted to the Jinshi in the future, having a son-in-law is also something to be proud of.

Xu Mingyuan's eyes were looking for Zhao Qingliang and Feng Rui in the crowd, and after the township test that day, he asked the two to come here today, and I don't know if the two of them remembered it.

He has a good impression of these two people, although their knowledge is somewhat limited because of their background, they are both smart people, acquaintance is fate, Xu Mingyuan is willing to push the two of them.

Xu Mingyuan didn't find Zhao Qingliang and Feng Rui, but someone found him, and the numb-faced scholar who had repeatedly wanted to humiliate Xu Mingyuan on the township test before came up with two brocade-clothed scholars and five sturdy family members with a smirk.

The two scholars who were standing under the tree with Xu Mingyuan saw that those people were not good-intentioned, so they hurriedly walked out, looking at Xu Mingyuan who was surrounded under the tree with some pity.

"Yo! Isn't this the pride of heaven from the academy, you are very good at running, today you see how you run. Ma Tansheng sneered and looked at Xu Mingyuan and said. The five family members had already surrounded Xu Mingyuan, just waiting for the master's order to beat up this poor scholar who didn't know what to do, in order to avenge the previous tricks.

The scholars and servants who were waiting for the release of the list on the side were also attracted by the situation here, anyway, waiting for boredom, it would be good to watch a good show first.
