Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

On the long Taihang Mountain Road, the caravan trekked away, and after arriving at the Yiguan, everyone was supposed to pay a full amount of customs duties and enter Hanoi.

But the defenders who didn't want to pass the pass, after seeing countless displaced people coming from afar, directly abandoned the city and left, giving up this natural danger pass. This made the merchants stunned for a while.

Then there was nothing to say, and everyone just stayed in the mountains and mountains to go to the destination of Yanmen County.

Although there is no pursuit of thieves, and there is no embarrassment of lack of food for the time being, but along the way, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and the weather is cold.

Therefore, there were some dead and wounded along the way, some fell behind, and there were dozens or dozens of attritions every day, and when they arrived at Shangdang County and the helm of the Li Jiadart Bureau, there were only more than 2,300 people left along the way.

Although he is the helmsman of the Li family's dart, he is the last in the party dart bureau. Only Wang Mahan was left to guard, and as for Li Hu, Su Su and Su were not there.

Li Hu has always been in charge of the Yanmen Dart Bureau, which has now replaced the general rudder, not only the most profitable of the three dart games, but also the largest one. Yanmen borders outside the pass, and the caravans that want to leave the grassland from Bingzhou are all going through Yanmen County and Mayi County.

As for Su Su, he is now in the Jinyang Dart Bureau of Taiyuan County, Jinyang, Taiyuan County used to be the state of the state, although the imperial court abolished the state, after the establishment of the second system of counties and counties, although there is no official name of the state, but the people are still used to calling it so.

As the center of the county's governance and the government's power, it needs a scholar like Su Su to deal with the figures in the government. Su Su is a subordinate of Hefen, with a lot of classmates, plus money to open the way, he also supported a protective umbrella for the various businesses of the Li Family Dart Bureau in the officialdom.

Therefore, the importance of Taiyuan and Yanmen Dart Bureau has exceeded the earliest Shangdang Dart Bureau.

However, in the Shangdang Dart Bureau, the caravan, and the homeless people finally settled here and rested.

There are large empty rooms in the dart game, and private houses are rented, so it is enough for everyone to squeeze in. After Wang Mahan met Li Chongjiu, he didn't mention his farewell.

At the dart board, the caravans were entertained, and the homeless people were served with hot wine and meat, and each person was given a plate of fragrant prison pills (Note 1), which washed everyone's boats and cars.

Everyone can finally get rid of the worry of being chased by thieves and having their goods stolen along the way, and sleep peacefully here.

After everyone rested peacefully here for two days, a merchant in Shangdang County wanted to deliver a large quantity of goods to Yanmen County urgently. This is also the rule of the dart board, there are new orders, then it is two dart goods, one trip to cooperate, save manpower, make two copies of money, save costs, which is why they work hard to set up dart bureaus in various places.

This is the most basic operation in modern logistics, but in the Sui Dynasty, it was a pioneering feat. You must know that the earliest dart game in China only appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and it was only flourishing in the Qing Dynasty.

So the caravan braved the heavy snow and began to re-enter the road, as for the homeless people, it was not suitable to run around, otherwise they would not freeze to death, but they would have to die of exhaustion, Li Chongjiu asked Wang Mahan to entertain them well in the Shangdang County Dart Bureau, and he took Tanzong and a dozen people, and went towards Yanmen County with the caravan.

The crowd traveled for more than ten days, and finally at the end of November, everyone arrived in Yanmen County.

All the caravans were waiting in front of the Li Family Dart Bureau in Yanmen County. Lin Dangfeng and other business managers were amazed by the magnificence of the Yanmen Dart Bureau.

A river surrounds it, and under a line of willow trees outside the door, there is a row of clear tethered horse posts.

The gates are painted red, with copper nails cast on them, and large stone lions stand on the left and right, with teeth and claws.

In front of a huge wall, hundreds of executioners and dart masters of the dart bureau were waiting at the door, dressed in soap robes, and the belts were tightly tied, full of spirit.

And the old man with a kind face at the top of the line is not Li Hu, the chief dart head of the Li family's dart bureau, who else can he be.

Li Hu glanced at Li Chongjiu first, but he smiled first and greeted Lin Dangfeng and the shopkeeper of several caravans, and he was very familiar with each other, obviously some people had already had a relationship before.

When Li Hu arrived in front of Li Chongjiu, he sighed slightly and said, "It's been three years, just come back." ”

Li Chongjiu nodded, his eyes were moved, and he nodded and said, "Yes." ”

After that, everyone entered the dart game together, turned a huge wall, all the way is the bright ground of the blue brick water mill, the snow is swept clean, and the ground is spotless.

Li Chongjiu looked at Lin Dangfeng on the side, and more than a dozen businessmen, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became, and he couldn't help nodding.

Seeing the subtle knowledge, Li Chongjiu only then knew that in the past three years, it was not for nothing that the Li Family Dart Bureau was able to merge the state and establish a banner. Li Hu, Su Su, Wang Mahan, and Sun Erniang each took care of this huge family business for the 400 brothers in 7,000 villages.

Entering the hall, the two sides exchanged pleasantries, and after a while, the six or seven maids who served came forward to put buttermilk on the front. Li Chongjiu couldn't help but sigh, and the girls were all called in the dart game.

And these maids seemed to know that Li Chongjiu was a young dart, and they all glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, with a smile on their faces.

The two sides talked for a while, and after Lin Dangfeng coughed, he threw out a topic and said: "Mr. Li, several of our merchants have said that in the future, we will deal with the Li Family Dart Bureau, not overnight, but for decades." We have a presumptuous request here, how about being able to take a stake in your game? ”

Li Hu was silent when he heard this.

"Three million dollars, how about you want the Li Family Dart Bureau to become a dry stock?" Lin Dangfeng's words were earth-shattering at the moment.

Li Chongjiu looked at Li Hu's expression and moved slightly, obviously this price made him a little moved, but Li Hu was old and serious, but he didn't agree immediately.

Li Chongjiu thought about it for a while, at present, the Li Family Dart Bureau has 20% of the dry shares in Shan Xiongxin's hands, and he left 80% of it, at the earliest, when Li Hu was in 7,000 villages, the cottage was only 10,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan.

Two and a half years ago, the Yuan family in Runan, the lion opened his mouth, ready to go to seventy percent for 300,000 yuan, leaving only one percent of the Li family himself, which made Li Hu hesitate for a long time, if it weren't for Yuan Siniang being too harsh later, maybe the conditions would be more relaxed, Li Hu was forced by the pressure of the Yuan family, so he handed the dart game to the Yuan family.

And now these dozen or so merchants actually paid 3 million yuan to buy the Li family's Yicheng dry shares, which really shows what kind of situation the Li family's dart bureau has reached in Bingzhou now.

3 million yuan, according to the price of 10 wen and 1 bucket of rice (Note 2), you can buy 300,000 buckets.

A silk is 500 yuan, a whip cane is in the line, a walking horse is 20,000 yuan, and Li Chongjiu gave Chai Baochang a toll of more than 45,000 yuan.

Li Hu still didn't agree, saying that he would give them time to think about it, and the next day, when Lin Dangfeng and the chamber of commerce manager rested overnight in the dart bureau, they went to visit Li Hu again, but they learned that Li Hu had gone out.

When Lin Dangfeng and the manager of the Chamber of Commerce went to look for Li Chongjiu again, they learned that Li Chongjiu had actually gone out with Li Hu, and the two would not come back until more than 20 days later.

At the moment, all the chamber of commerce managers were puzzled, and they didn't know why Li Hu and Li Chongjiu's father and son disappeared together.

They are all strange, even if they don't agree, they don't have to close the door and not see the guests, fortunately, they are not in a hurry for the time being, anyway, they will not go to Mobei until the spring flowers bloom.

A few days later, Li Hu and Li Chongjiu wore felt clothes, braved the heavy snow, and rode their horses to a place a hundred miles away from Yanmen County.

Li Hu raised his whip, pointed to a big mountain in front of him, and said, "Xiao Jiu, what do you think of this mountain?" ”

Li Chongjiu raised his head, and it was for this mountain that he interrupted his practice in Shaolin Temple and traveled thousands of miles to return to Yanmen County.

If nothing else, this will be the place where Li Chongjiu started from now on.

Note 1: Prison pills are now dumplings. Note 2: The price of rice fluctuates greatly, Zhenguan is a bucket of rice in the prosperous era, only two texts, and a bucket of rice and a gold in troubled times, which is not expensive, and this article takes a median value.
