The caravan went all the way, Han Mo carefully observed, and found that on the east side of Mingyue Lake, there were hundreds of houses, large and small, endless, but the construction was orderly, not messy, and these houses were much more exquisite and atmospheric than the Taliluo houses he had seen before, and they were more spacious, obviously a relatively powerful Luo.

This place faces Mingyue Lake in front of it, and behind it is a high mountain range, and the ancient trees on the mountain are still around, a piece of emerald green, which can be said to be an excellent place, and I suddenly feel that I am afraid that this place is not the fall of the ordinary wind country, and the people who can live here in the wind country should also be a little unusual.

In addition to the typical Fengguo-style wooden houses, there are also some brick houses that Han Mo and others are very familiar with, and there are large wooden signs erected in front of the doors of these houses, with the names of the trading houses written on them.

The trading house here has obviously received the news of the arrival of the caravan, there are already five or six guys waiting in front of the door, seeing the convoy approaching, a middle-aged man in his forties has already led the guys to meet him, not tall, thin, with a small beard floating under his chin, a kind smile on his face, and arched his hand towards Tie Kui and said: "Iron dart head, hard work, brothers are tired on the road, wine and food have been prepared in the shop, we will move the goods, you go first to rest!" ”

Tie Kui turned over and dismounted, and arched his hand: "Fortunately, I am not dishonored!" ”

Everyone dismounted one after another, and Shen Laosan had already whispered to Han Mo: "This is Yang Lian, the second shopkeeper of the trade bank!" ”

Han Mo thought that this person was Guan Mu at first, but only then did he know that it was the second shopkeeper.

When the convoy arrived at the door of the trading house, Han Mo saw clearly that the front of the trading house was connected by three wide houses, each of which was equipped with a counter, and there were many kinds of goods, and the space inside was also very large, which was very different from ordinary houses, and there were many people in the shop who were buying goods, and there was a plaque on the door of the store in the middle, made of Nanmu, with a line of gilded characters written on it, which was "Guan's Trading House", and the word dragon and snake were very magnificent.

"Steward Song, it's been hard all the way!" Yang Lian walked in front of Steward Song, with a kind smile on his face, "Please order the goods with me first, check it, I can enter the account, this is the old rule, there is labor and hard work!" ”

Song Guan changed color, even though the expression on his face was weird, the corner of his eye had already secretly looked at Han Mo in front of him.

This batch of goods is already less than a hundred taels of silver, which is not too much, but it has to come up with a reason to prevaricate, where can Steward Song come up with a reason at this time.

When Han Mo heard it in front, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't look back, he led the red sleeves, followed Tie Kui and the others, and entered the house.

Seeing that Steward Song's face was a little pale, Yang Lian frowned, "Steward Song, what's wrong with you?" ”

Steward Song came back to his senses and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"In this way, if Steward Song is unwell, give the manifest to your buddies and ask them to check it with me. There is not much of the goods left in the warehouse, you are really here, check the accounts, and put them into the warehouse! Yang Lian smiled: "I'll have a few drinks with Steward Song when I go back!" ”

Steward Song knew that he couldn't hide from this, so he took Yang Lian's hand, walked to the side and said, "Brother Yang, there is something to do, you have to help me take care of it, turn back...... Go back and help me talk! ”

Yang Lian frowned and looked at Steward Song in puzzlement.

"That...... Lost some goods on the way......! Steward Song looked embarrassed, but he didn't know how to continue.

Yang Lian's eyes crossed a strange light, he is naturally not a stupid person, every year Steward Song delivers goods, there are always one or two times when the goods are missing, and they can take out people, the knight Yang Lian knows what is going on, but it is none of his business, he will not expose it, today I saw Steward Song with such a look, a little strange, just asked: "Did you take someone?" And who did it? ”

Cold sweat broke out on Steward Song's forehead, and he said helplessly: "Brother Yang, this is ...... It's a long story. Go back and help me plead with the big shopkeeper and the water agent! ”

Yang Lian was even more puzzled, the big shopkeeper naturally referred to Guan Mu, but who is this water agent?

"Steward Song, what are you talking about...... What's going on? Yang Lian frowned and said, "As far as I know, our trading house does not have an agent surnamed Shui!" ”

Steward Song said in a low voice: "Can you see the young man who followed Tie Dart Tou just now?" ”

Yang Lian thought for a moment and nodded: "The eyebrows are clear, I haven't seen it before, it's a new guy in the shop in Beijing?" ”

"Where's what guy!" Steward Song showed a helpless look on his face, but there was incomparable resentment in his eyes: "That's the water agent, there is a jade card on his body!" ”

Yang Lian narrowed his eyes and shook his head: "I haven't seen this person...... Whose agent is he? ”

When Steward Song heard this, he first frowned, then his eyes flashed, showing excitement, and he asked cautiously, "Brother Yang, are you...... Haven't you really seen this person? Our Guan trading house, is there really no such person? ”

Yang Lian shook his head: "Absolutely not!" ”

"I see!" Steward Song began to touch his little beard, his eyes rolled, and then he arched his hand and said: "Brother Yang, you and I will check the goods first, but there are more than 100 taels of silver missing in the middle, as for the reason, I will explain it to the big shopkeeper when I turn around!" ”

Yang Lian was puzzled, and Steward Song had already turned around, gathered several of his henchmen together, and gave instructions in a low voice.

……

The courtyard of Guan's trading house occupies a large area, some flowers and plants are planted in the yard, a few green bamboos, and a rockery is piled up in a unique way, which looks like it is also a unique charm.

There are more than a dozen men in this trading house, all of them are shrewd and capable, the row of rooms on the left side of the courtyard is the dormitory and kitchen of the guys, and the five or six houses on the right are the warehouses, according to the classification, the goods in each room are different, and there are two rooms that are dedicated to storing the herbs and animal skins purchased from the Wind Country, which are to be transported back to the capital for sale.

In fact, all the Guan's trading houses, at the same time bear two kinds of responsibilities, one is to sell goods, the other is to purchase local specialties, and then transfer to other trading houses for sale, this marketing model, extremely special, the formation of this mode of operation, is not a year or two to improve the success, today, although there are many trading houses to imitate the operation methods of the Guan's trading houses, but the best management, there is no doubt, naturally or the Guan's trading house.

Tie Kui and the others have come more often, and they are naturally very familiar with the situation here, so they led everyone to the courtyard, and there were already four tables of wine and food prepared in the house, and everyone was familiar with the road, and they were not polite, except for Steward Song and a few henchmen under him, the other more than 20 people sat down, and someone had already picked up the big wine jar and said with a smile: "I was suffocated along the way, I just wanted to drink a few sips of cordyceps wine brewed by the people of Fengguo!" ”

"Yes, yes, I started thinking about it halfway!"

"Come on, come on, everyone is full, the journey is smooth, everyone drink a few glasses of wine to celebrate, you can drink it today!"

The most fierce called, naturally are the bodyguards of the dart masters, as a martial artist, there are not a few bad wine, but the rules dictate, the bodyguards can not drink alcohol on the way, now the merit is complete, successfully arrived at the destination, the alcohol addiction finally burst out, no one is welcome, for a time are all gulping vegetables, let go of the amount of drinking.

The dishes on the table are not bad, in addition to all kinds of mountain meat, there are also dishes made of flowers and plants unique to the Wind Country, even the red sleeves sitting next to Han Mo, because the dishes are delicious, can't help but eat more.

Shen Laosan sat next to Han Mo, drank two glasses of wine, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he approached Han Mo's ear and said in a low voice: "Shui Daishi, Steward Song and his subordinates have just gathered together again and don't know what to discuss, you ...... Be careful! ”

Shen Laosan has now made up his mind to hug Han Mo's thighs, he knows that once Han Mo has an accident, Steward Song will regain power, and he will be the first person to deal with by Steward Song, whether it is for Han Mo's safety or for his own future, Shen Laosan feels the need to remind Han Mo.

Shen Laosan has been following Steward Song for a long time, knowing that Steward Song is a person who will repay flaws, this time Han Mo rectified him so badly, with Steward Song's character, as long as he seizes the opportunity, he will definitely retaliate.

Han Mo smiled faintly and nodded slightly, no matter what, Shen Laosan reminded him that he was also kind to himself, picked up the wine bowl, and touched Shen Laosan, "Third Brother Shen doesn't have to worry, the soldiers will cover the water and cover the earth, he ...... Nothing! ”

The mere indiscriminate characters, in Han Mo's eyes, are indeed nothing.

The two drank for a while, and Han Mocai asked, "Why don't you see the big shopkeeper?" Isn't he in the shop? ”

Shen Laosan hurriedly said: "I inquired just now, the big shopkeeper went out to talk about business, and he will come back soon." ”

"Going out to talk about business?" Han Moqi said.

Shen Laosan explained with a smile: "The water agent doesn't understand the situation here, there are a lot of good things in this wind country, some people in the wind country have precious medicinal materials, they are unwilling to take them out and sell them, and some of them have beaten bear skin and tiger skin, that is also reluctant to take it out at home, once the big shopkeeper gets the news, he will personally come to the door to persuade the purchase, hehe, in fact, everyone admires the big shopkeeper very much, people in their fifties, as the big shopkeeper, but also personally go out, this is the real businessman!" ”

"I see!" Han Mo then understood, although he had not met yet, he felt that this Guan Mu was a very good person to buy people's hearts, just said that these tables of wine and food, although it didn't cost much silver, but it could make everyone feel comfortable, there was a feeling of returning home, full of warmth, no wonder the Guan family's trade house could be so deeply rooted in the Wind Country, Guan Mu This person is really not a simple character.

"By the way, Third Brother Shen, there is Mingyue Lake in front of here, and there are continuous green mountains in the back, such an excellent place, the people who can live here are not ordinary people, right?" Han Mo finally said the doubts in his heart.

Shen Laosan gave a thumbs up, "Shui Daishi, you are really amazing." Yes, this is Tuohuluo, the main family of Yuquan Village, and the people of Tuohuluo, they are all nobles of the Wind Country! ”

Han Mo was stunned, he couldn't imagine that the shop of the Guan trading house was opened in the main house of Yuquan Village, and now that he thinks about it, the people he saw before were neatly dressed, and they really looked a lot richer than the people in the tower.

However, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand that Guan's trading house is located here.

The Wind Country is poor, the people are not strong, and the goods of the Guan Clan's trading house are all foreign specialties, and the price is naturally expensive, and the ordinary people cannot afford to buy them, and only the aristocracy of the Wind Country can afford to buy them.

And the people of the Wind Country are obviously also very fond of foreign specialties, and they have a trading house in their own Luoli, and they can buy high-quality foreign goods at any time, which is naturally a thing that cannot be sought.

This is equivalent to the other three countries in the Central Plains, and the real big commercial houses are all opened in the capital, which is beneficial to both buyers and sellers.

"This is just the Luoren of Tuohuluo, and if you go to the north, there will be the residence of the officials of Tuhuluo!" Shen Laosan said: "Today's Tuohuluo is the time of the scenery, the chief of the Wind Country, now it is the chief of Tuohuluo!" ”

"Chief?" A light flashed in Han Mo's eyes.

Shen Laosan lowered his voice and said, "I also heard from them that the chief of this Wind Country is served by the chiefs of the eight major families in turn, and each family has a ...... for three years!" ”

When Han Mo heard this, he immediately thought of a classic line, the emperor takes turns to do it, come to my house next year, in the country of wind, but it will be replaced by the chiefs to do it in turn, and come to my house in three years!

He always thought that the rulers of the feudal era were hereditary, but he didn't expect that the chieftain of the Wind Country was not hereditary, but was served by the eight families in turn!

However, it rotates every three years, but I don't know if the chief who came down from the chieftain position is lost in his heart? It is necessary to know that in such a rotation, it will take an interval of twenty-four years to re-ascend to the throne, and there can be several twenty-four years in life.

Han Mo felt more and more that people said that the Wind Country was mysterious and bizarre, and now it seemed that this was indeed the case.

was about to ask again, but saw Tie Kui walking slowly over with a wine bowl, and arrived at Han Mo's side, holding the wine bowl in both hands, the expression on his face was very serious: "No matter what, you are a man, Tie Mou respects you a glass!" ”

Han Mo smiled slightly, and also picked up the wine bowl, and the two of them touched it lightly, and they both drank it all.

How could Han Mo not know the meaning of Tie Kui's words.

He understood that several things happened on the road, Tie Kui must be clear, he rectified the Song steward, got back the bad money that was exploited for the guys of the caravan, and slaughtered Yi Lianlie in the middle of the night in the tower and rescued the red-headed man, these things are obviously the work of a man, although Tie Kui is a little dissatisfied with this almost causing trouble to the caravan, but he still appreciates these two things in his bones.

After drinking a bowl of wine, Tie Kui didn't say much, just nodded, and returned to his place.

At this time, there was a noise in the courtyard, and through the window, Han Mo saw that Guan Mu's men and a few of Song's subordinates were carrying goods to the yard, and the few people under Song's subordinates were also very diligent.

Steward Song stood in front of the warehouse door, looking over here from time to time, and saw that this side was very lively, and there was a cold look in his eyes.
