The two largest of these are the business name opened by Liu Sheng's family and the business name opened by Cheng Zi's family. The big shopkeepers of these two families have full business experience, and in order to grab business, Liu Shengsheng and Cheng Ziquan can be said to have tried all kinds of methods.

The camel caravan is also known as the tall leg, which is named after the camel's back that carries the goods high above the four hooves of the camel. A camel team is composed of people, camels, horses, and dogs, and a camel team is a house. The so-called house refers to the tent where the camel road rests, and later the house became synonymous with the camel caravan. The leader of the caravan is called the consul.

At the beginning of spring last year, the two of them fought together again, and the matter was caused by the Liu family, who spent a lot of money to poach Zhang Maolin, the pillar of the Cheng family and the most powerful leader of the camel team.

As soon as this incident came out, the Cheng family was in a mess. Because everyone knows in their hearts that they are traveling back and forth for thousands of miles, and in order to lead a huge caravan and flock, it is necessary to have a good collar house. The consular house must not only be familiar with the routes, water sources, pastures and other conditions along the way, but also be able to distinguish the direction on cloudy nights and desert Gobi, be able to foresee weather changes, and be proficient in communicating in various languages. More importantly, he is alert and flexible, good at maneuvering, not chaotic in the face of danger, brave and strategic, and able to lead the camel team to turn danger into danger and safety. These skills of the housekeeper are not only inherited by the family, but also rely on their long-term experience on the camel farm, memorization and continuous summary, and they are rare characters in the camel herd, and they are also highly respected in the society. Therefore, a good consul is related to the success or failure of a caravan business. And Zhang Maolin was born to be a master of the camel gang, and Zhang Maolin was dug into Liu's house. This means that the Cheng family has not yet made a move, and has lost the chance of winning.

Despite everyone's urgency and chaos. The shopkeeper Cheng Ziquan still didn't seem to be in a hurry. Faced with this matter, he quickly came up with a countermeasure, that is: to hire Zhang Maolin's father Zhang San as the housekeeper. As soon as this decision was made, everyone sighed and talked about the fact that the big shopkeeper was out of order, how could he use an old man with an old Mailong clock? What's more, although this person has followed the caravan, he has never picked the beam. Finding such a person to be the leader of the house team is tantamount to taking the caravan into the ditch.

Disappointment is disappointment, business still has to be done. The Cheng family also prepared all the necessary supplies for the caravan. Soon after, we set off. After the caravan left, the old lady of the Cheng family led the ladies to burn incense and worship the Buddha all day long, praying for the caravan to return smoothly.

Soon, three months passed. Just as everyone is waiting for the stars and the moon. The caravan is back. To everyone's surprise. It turned out that the caravan led by his father Zhang San came back first, and I heard from them that the caravan led by Zhang Maolin was still behind. For a while, the Cheng family was stunned and felt incredible. Zhang San not only sold all the sheep and furs he brought, but also brought back a large amount of high-quality tea and daily necessities. It can be said that this mission went very smoothly and there were no mistakes.

Puzzled people surrounded Cheng Ziquan and asked him to make an explanation. Cheng Ziquan smiled faintly. Tell everyone that the reason why he chose Zhang San as the leader of the house. just took a fancy to his identity as Zhang Maolin's father. And I have known Zhang Maolin too well for many years, and one of his biggest characteristics is filial piety.

Because of this, Cheng Ziquan was relieved to hand over the camel team to Zhang San. Along the way, although the road is difficult and dangerous, the son knows that his father is following him, and of course he doesn't want him to have any accidents. Therefore, no matter what route he takes, the son will quietly make special marks along the way and leave them to his father, so that the father can lead the team all the way in the direction he is taking. Therefore, where there is water and where the forage can be replenished, Zhang San does not need to worry at all. In addition to this, Zhang San is old and experienced, and he asked people to divide the flock into two groups, with the ewes in a flock, and the head sheep and the ram behind. Once you encounter a sandstorm or other unexpected situation on the road, you just need to watch the ewe team, even if the sheep behind are scattered, they will chase after the ewe according to the smell of the ewe, and it will not take too much time. In this way, you will save some time.

In addition, Cheng Ziquan usually likes to raise dog trainers, and his family has a large group of well-trained dog trainers, which are fast runners and have strong memory, and are often used to deliver messages. Zhang San led the team to walk behind, and the dog trainer had already passed the news to the merchants in the mainland, and the goods on the list were sorted out early, and the bags were packed and waited. In this way, it saved several days, so that Zhang San's caravan would not be a problem to come back early.

When the Liu family learned of this fact, Liu Sheng was so angry that he stomped his feet and vowed to give Cheng Ziquan a little color.

The opportunity soon came, and the camel city was not only a place of commerce, but also a military fortress. There are a large number of soldiers on the border areas, and the provision of food alone is not a small amount. In order to seize this business opportunity, the Liu family and the Cheng family sent representatives to the barracks to lobby. But the general was unmoved, but invited Liu Shengsheng and Cheng Ziquan separately, and told them that he was having a rather troublesome thing at the moment, that is, because many of these soldiers came from Huguang, and it was difficult for these soldiers to adapt to life here after they arrived in the north. The general proposed: Whether it is the Liu family or the Cheng family, who can help him solve this problem, which one will he consider!

With the words of the general, the two families have their own tricks. Liu Sheng made careful preparations at home, and then went to the barracks to send many gifts to the soldiers, such as scarves, leather boots, piggybackers, and fresh beef and mutton, hoping to impress these soldiers with these things and let them stay at ease.

But the Cheng family didn't give any gifts, Cheng Ziquan just sent his son Cheng Yuan to the barracks, and after getting acquainted with a few soldiers with good relationships, he got together to drink, hunt, roll dice, and even lead the dog to have fun when he had nothing to do. After a while, the gang disappeared together, and needless to say, they all became deserters. The general was very angry, and ordered his men to ride fast horses to chase after him, and his men came back after chasing for a long time, and reported to the general that the gang had taken a desperate step and took the dead road in the desert. It turned out that there were several roads to cross the desert to the interior, including a dead end, all the way to the Gobi Desert, and I heard that no one could safely get out of it. Everyone knows that this road is half as close as the others, and no one dares to take this risk. (To be continued......)
