Chapter 115 Turning over is just around the corner

"This Dragon King Cave, did it really pass in the direction of the East China Sea?"

Viet Chau faces the sea on both sides, but the East China Sea is much closer to this place, and the direction of the water flow is generally from west to east.

That's why Sov asked.

Who knew that Li Er shook his head, "I don't feel like I'm going east, but like I'm heading south." ”

"...... South"

Su Fu pondered for a while, and thought of a possibility, "Find a time to ask a few more people to explore again, if it is really a way to the South China Sea, it is very promising." ”

Li Er's heart was shocked when he heard this, South Vietnam is also adjacent to the South China Sea, and according to the calculation of the direction, it is very likely that the export will be in South Vietnam.

If this is the case, the Dragon King Cave will become a military artery, and although it will not allow the army to pass through, it will be effective in spying on the military.

"When the business stabilizes, we will start this immediately."

Thinking about it this way, Li Er also became interested, the previous plan was too far away from his dream, but if the Dragon King Cave really led to Nanyue, it would be just around the corner with this road.

It was not until the afternoon of the next day that they emerged from a deserted valley despite the speed of Soph.

Although this valley is close to Hengzhou, it is full of strange rocks and barrenness, and no one usually comes.

Before dark, a few people finally arrived at the town at the foot of the mountain, Yanlin Town.

Hengzhou does not produce salt, and it is strange to call an inland town this name.

After asking, I found out that when the mountain road was not cut off, there were many saltmen who picked salt here and rested here.

Most of them were poor-born smugglers who traveled thousands of miles from the sea to carry salt from the sea.

But this business is very dangerous, and it is often easy to be killed by people on the road, so they secretly form a salt gang.

After going up the mountain, Su Fu realized that the end of the ghost sorrow had actually collapsed a long time ago, and it was impossible to get through at all.

It is precisely for this reason that the so-called trade routes were cut off, because of the war, Yuezhou not only had a financial shortage, but also a serious shortage of manpower.

Therefore, the Yuezhou government is simply unable to dredge up the ghosts and sorrows, and those horse gangs that only go once a month or two are actually detours from the mountains.

Not to mention the long distance, there are many dangers.

It seems that this trafficking in sea salt is also a way to make money, but when their power is not yet strong, this business Su Fu does not want to interfere.

Salt and iron have always been controlled by the state, and if you want to sell it, you must either find a way to obtain official salt vouchers, or you can only risk becoming a smuggler of salt.

The first is that they don't have this condition yet, and the second is too dangerous, and she doesn't want to risk her cottage brothers.

They stayed in Yanlin Town that night, and Sofu went out for a walk in the evening, and the scale was still relatively large, but it was a little depressed.

It seems that in the future, we will have to set up a regular base here as well.

Early the next morning, they rented a carriage and two horses in Yanlin Town, and set out for Hengzhou.

It's not too far from Hengzhou, so you can leave early in the morning and arrive in the afternoon.

This is Su Fu's second time in Hengzhou, and the last time she came with Gu Pingsheng.

Hengzhou and Yuezhou, separated by a mountain, but the scenery is different, there is a group of spring, but here is the real early winter scene.

Although the grass and trees have withered, the pedestrians on the street have already put on brightly colored jackets.

Compared with the two places, Hengzhou is also much more lively, after all, it has not been affected by the war, not to mention that Hengzhou is also an important land of fish and rice in the south, and it is rich in products.

A few people found a more lively inn to stay, close to the business, and it was easy to inquire about the news. 3a Reading Network

is still the original team who went to Yuezhou last time, Su Fu is still pretending to be a glamorous businesswoman, and Li Er is still the amiable shopkeeper.

After dinner, Su Fu and the others went out for a stroll, and hired a temporary man as a guide.

Sov went to a few cloth shops and found that there was hardly any linen for sale on the shelves, even though it was early winter and it was not the season to wear linen.

However, the complete out-of-stock can only indicate that the supply is seriously insufficient.

This time, they also brought some samples of medicinal materials and mountain goods, ready to compare the prices of Hengzhou and Yuezhou, which side is more suitable.

For two days in a row, several people were busy with this matter, and after many comparisons and inquiries, they selected the Wang Family Warehouse and the Feng Caravan.

The scale of these two companies is not small, and they also have the background of official roads, one specializes in short-distance trafficking, and the destination is in the rich Jiangnan area.

The other is a long-distance freight, which is mainly sold in the Central Plains and Shangjing.

And the reputation of these two is good, basically Tong Su is not bullied.

As soon as Sufu's various goods samples came out, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up. Their skins are all processed, and their furs are intact, and they are all of the finest quality.

The herbs have also undergone preliminary processing and are easy to preserve and traffick.

What struck them the most were the fine linen cloths, which they hadn't seen in years.

"Mrs. Gu, how many goods do you have?"

The shopkeeper of the Wang family's warehouse asked with a serious face.

"Goods, it depends on your price, if you make a lot of money, our Li family firm can supply for a long time."

"The price is negotiable, can Mrs. Gu make a price?"

Su Fu smiled, she was a master of business negotiations, how could she take the initiative to make an offer.

"You also know that it is not easy to get the freight over now, but it has cost us a lot to find a way."

Talking about the price, I don't care about the facts, I don't care about the difficulties, and the other party will naturally have a number in his heart.

"And because it's not easy to sell, the production in Yuezhou has dropped sharply, if the sales are good, I have to go back and make a deposit for others and start production again."

The big shopkeeper of the Wang family was undecided, "Mrs. Gu, Li Dongjia, if you don't do this, please have dinner at Zuiyue Tower at noon, and talk to our young owner by the way, how about it?" ”

said that he deliberately looked at Li Er, how vicious his eyes were to be the big shopkeeper, and he had already seen that Su Fu was in charge of the two people.

But this kind of woman is too shrewd, and she will save enough face for her husband in front of outsiders.

So as long as Li Er, who is easy to speak, nods and agrees, Su Fu will definitely not refute.

Who knew that Li Er didn't smile or say anything, just looked at his wife with a pampered face, which made people helpless.

"This ...... But just now the owner of the Feng caravan also made an appointment with us, you see......"

Suf looked at him in embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter, our two businesses are not in conflict, and we have a lot of business dealings with each other."

When the shopkeeper of the Wang family heard this, he hurriedly suggested, "Why don't we do this, how about the three of us get together at noon and contact our feelings?" ”

Hmph, if you want to collude with each other to suppress the price, she is not so easy to speak.

"It's okay, I still have to eat with Zhao's firm in the evening, the time is a little tight, and it's really convenient to eat together."

Zhao's firm is the largest merchant in Hengzhou, but his family is wealthy, mainly engaged in ceramics, embroidery and jewelry, and the rest are incidental.

And Su Fu felt that she was not qualified to negotiate cooperation with that kind of big business house now, so she chose two medium-sized ones.
