Shaanxi is close to the Hetao area, which is an important tea and horse trading area in the Ming Dynasty, and even merchants from the Silk Road have to transit through Shaanxi. These people had an urgent need for tea, silk, medicinal herbs, and porcelain from the Ming Dynasty.

As for Mongolia, it is even more lacking in everything, everything. The Mongols had a large number of livestock in their hands, and the Huama Salt Pond was rich in green salt, which were excellent commodities for trade.

The Ming Dynasty has now been corrupted, and the Outline Law is popular, and the salt merchants rely on the salt in their hands to monopolize the salt trade, and the price of salt has skyrocketed, which has seriously affected the lives of the people. The income of the people of the Ming Dynasty could not eat the salt sold in the regular salt store at all, and everyone wanted to eat it and have a taste, so they had to buy private salt.

Although the risk of selling illicit salt is high, no matter how big it is, it is not as big as border trade, and this cadre dares to take this risk to break into Shaanxi, do they still care about reselling illicit salt? Zhang Jiufu also introduced:

"In addition to these, there is wool in Shaanxi, which is also in demand. The Qin Wangfu had a large number of lambs in his hands, and a large number of wool would be sold every year. I heard that there are people in Shaanxi who collect grain at a high price right now, and when we get to the place, we can sell this batch of grain at a high price. ”

Yang Chengzu's own team brought a lot of food and silk, and there were more than a dozen animals alone, and those men with neat hands and feet were both bodyguards and simple husbands. The caravan itself brought those offspring were young and strong, and their bodies were strong. There were many people with weapons in their waists, and Yang Chengzu believed that if the target was suitable and the location was more appropriate, this caravan would not mind making a cameo appearance as a robber at all.

This caravan was contacted by Jinyiwei, and there was no problem with its reliability, and Yang Chengzu was not worried that they would hack themselves halfway. I just wondered if they attacked the caravan on the way, should they help them, or should they pretend not to see it?

The team went all the way to Shaanxi, Zhang Jiufu was a man from all over the world, and he was very close to Yang Chengzu. The two had a feeling of hating each other, Zhang Jiufu went to the side for a long time, and also taught a lot of business experience to Yang Chengzu. He knew that Yang Chengzu was an official and a businessman, and the well water in the two times did not interfere with the river water, and no one could grab anyone's business, so he had no reservations, knew everything, and said everything.

He is familiar with this road, where to stay, where the food tastes, everything can be said to be the way, and it saves a lot of worry to go out with such a ghost.

On this day, the caravan arrived at Jingzi Pass, which is the junction of Henan, Hubei and Shaanxi provinces, known as "one foot on three provinces" and "Jingzi Pass of three provinces of Jiming". There is the Danjiang River passing through, which is the fortress of north-south traffic, and it is the water and dry wharf, and it is a lively place.

After waiting here, he was about to enter the Shaanxi realm, Zhang Jiufu said: "When we get here, we have to rest for a few days, let the guys have a good rest, and in a few days it will be time for them to work hard, now is the time to make them happy." We also need to buy some dry food and drinking water, and see if there are any suitable goods, and we can also prepare some. When I entered Shaanxi, I couldn't find such a good place. Guys, work hard, get to the city, and get paid once. ”

This place is not only the north and south, but also the collapsed houses, foot shops, and merchant inns are everywhere. This Zhang Jiufu is familiar, he has a familiar inn to live in, this inn is wide, the room is also clean, Zhang Jiufu said:

"Speaking of this shop, it is still the relationship between Wuding Marquis Guo Qiansui, and the roots are hard, living in this store can save a lot of trouble."

Along the way, Yang Chengzu has also encountered several waves of people and horses, all of whom have come to collect taxes under various banners. This Jiufu also has a way, either to take out various documents to push, or to see that there is not much money, pay the bill directly, but it is useless for Yang Chengzu to expose his identity.

He also knew that so many people, so many livestock and goods, would definitely attract people's eyes and covet it, if the roots of this shop were so hard, it would be a talisman and a lot less trouble.

Guo Xun is the noble of the Ming Dynasty who retired with the country after Guo Ying, the founder of the country, and he has to be regarded as a well-rooted lord among the nobles. Even if Yang Chengzu was far away in Henan, he had heard of his name. If this shop is really related to him, then he is really not afraid that anyone will dare to make trouble.

"What kind of person is Guo Qiansui, Marquis of Wuding, who can still look at the money of this small shop? Besides, this is too far away from Jingshi, can the Guo family still come here to do business? Naturally, he lived in the upper room, and a guy brought hot hand towels and fragrant tea, he twisted the hand towel and wiped his face, and asked Zhang Jiufu.

Zhang Jiufu smiled: "What's this?" Even our heavenly family has opened an imperial store, and the people below, who doesn't do some business to make some money? When Liu Jin did not fall, he accounted for more than 50% of the business of the collapsed houses in the world. Now that he has fallen, the collapsed houses he built have been divided among several other fathers-in-law and nobles. Not to mention elsewhere, the collapsed houses, foot shops, and inns in this city almost all have a relationship with the Jingshili. ”

"Although Guo Qiansui himself is not a doppelganger, but there are so many housekeepers and village heads under him, who can't come out to run this business? The big proprietor of this shop is Guo Qiansui's protégé, and he can talk to the third housekeeper of Guo Mansion, and this relationship can be regarded as a hard tie. If you live in an ordinary shop, let's bring this goods, and we will attract officials to come to the door to find trouble, but once you live in this store, you will be as safe as Mount Tai, whether it is the city fox society rat or those officials and officials, they dare not come to make noise. ”

The so-called collapsed house refers to the warehouse where the goods are stored. At this time, it is considered a money transaction, not only the storage of the goods has to be charged, but also the value of the goods has to be taxed. The people in the government also have their eyes and ears on these places, and if there is any important goods there, it is rare that someone will come and cut the wool.

The shopkeeper and Zhang Jiufu are old acquaintances, and they came over to chat for a while, and asked the guy to prepare a few dimes of wine and a few meat dishes to drink. called a few bare-chested fans to come in and accompany him, and Yang Chengzu only understood at this time what Zhang Jiufu meant by asking the children to have a good rest here, and why those guys were so happy when they heard about the salary.

The posture of these fans is ordinary, although he has a good figure and fair skin, but he has no interest, and only bows his head and drinks. Zhang Jiufu is very familiar with them, flirting and scolding, up and down, which is very different from his usual image.

Seeing that Yang Chengzu did not move, the shopkeeper asked, "Who is this guest officer?" Why, can't you look at it? ”

Zhang Jiufu said: "This is my good friend, a nobleman, everyone has played in Kaifeng City, don't be ugly." There will be no less money to be given, so don't dwell on it. Just go and hail my fellows, we're going to be staying a few more days this time, and you'll have to wait for us." ”

The shopkeeper is a well-behaved person, and when he hears it, he knows that this master is probably not a businessman, but a master with status. Zhang Jiufu does this business, and he always has dealings with some characters, so it's better not to inquire about it himself. Although he had dealings with the Marquis of Wuding, he was just a shopkeeper after all, and he didn't want to cause any trouble, so he retreated with interest.

Before leaving, he instructed: "In the past two days, I heard that Black Wolf Village and Qinglong Mountain are going to negotiate, and I advise you to go out less if you have nothing to do, and don't get bloody." If you want to play how you want, just in the store, if you are not satisfied with the food, I will help you call. The girl is not satisfied, I will help you find it, if you go out randomly, you can carefully meet those people. ”
