"Ahem...... cough ...... couldn't help it, Shen Ning coughed, although he had been in Xining Road for nearly a month, he still couldn't adapt to the weather here, especially after coming to Wenzhen, there was a lot of discomfort in his throat.

Wenzhen is the closest place to Xiyan in Dayong, the climate is similar to Xiyan, the spring and autumn are extremely cold, although the spring of Jingzhao is also cold, but there is no humid heat from time to time in Wenzhen.

Shen Ning looked at his uncle Shen Zeyuan and Hu Shi's Anhetang's Hu Butu, and then looked at Qiu Ge, who also had the air of wind and frost around him, and sighed in his heart.

Everything about Jingzhao seems to be still in front of her, as if it was still yesterday, she and Shen Yu's went to the East Palace to see the crown princess Zuo, and then went to Zhongcui Palace to meet Concubine Rong, but in fact, it has been more than two months since she left Jingzhao, and Wenzhen is thousands of miles away from Jingzhao, it's really far, it's so fast.

She still remembers that her grandfather issued a clan order in the study, and one of the two things that the Shen clan wanted to go all out to do was to make Uncle Deshan bring the second and third generations of the Shen family to Xining Road, and then go all out to open up Xining Business Road.

Thinking of the second thing that the clan order had to do, Shen Ning smiled slightly, presumably Uncle Kaishan had already taken the Shen family's children to Lingnan Dao.

They are all far away from Jingzhao.

After the New Year, Shen Yao wanted to marry Lu Ming, the second son of Lu Zhisheng, the assassin of Guizhou in Xining Dao, so the Shen family's wedding team left Jingzhao and sent Shen Yao to marry.

Among the wedding team, there are Shen Deshan, Shen Zeyuan, Shen Yuzhang, Shen Yushou and others, Shen Ning, as the eldest daughter of the Shen family, although she has not yet married, she also came to Xining Road to send Shen Yao a ride.

Of course, Shen Huashan meant: Anyway, Ying Nantu is still traveling around the country, so Shen Ning will go to Xining Dao to increase his knowledge, and by the way, he will give advice to the Shen family, and the vertical and horizontal techniques she learned from Yu Zhengdao can also be used.

The Shen family and his entourage came to Xining to Guizhou. And the people of Hu Clan's Anhetang have already come to Xining Road. After entering Xining Road, the Shen family's team split into two ways. One route was led by Shen Deshan, and set off to Guizhou in a leisurely manner; The other way is the convergence of Shen Zeyuan and Hu Butu. Come to Wenzhen in advance to find out the news.

In order to hide people's eyes, before entering Wenzhen, Chen Cheng specially replaced the excellent horses that had been rushing all the time, and replaced them with two old crippled carriages, just to know the most true situation in Wenzhen.

A glimpse of the whole leopard, knowing the situation in this Wenzhen, you will roughly know the situation in Queensland. In this way, it is convenient to plan for the next step.

"How far is Wenzhen from Xiyan?" After taking a sip of hot water, Shen Ning came to his senses. asked Shen Zejing, he had been to Xining Road before, and he should have an impression of everything marked on the map.

"From Wenzhen to the west, over a high mountain. The name of Moguo Mountain is the realm of Xiyan. Although Shen Zeyuan has never been to Wenzhen, he also knows a thing or two about the general situation of Wenzhen from the map.

To the west, Mogu Mountain? Shen Ning thought for a moment. Trying to sketch out the general outline of Wenzhen. So, back then, did Cousin Yu Yi and Ying Nantu also go to Xiyan via Mogu Mountain?

Shen Ning thought of Shen Yuyi, who was still in Xiyan at the moment, and Ying Nantu, who traveled to Xiyan, and thought that this was the place closest to Xiyan, and his heart was mixed.

Wenzhen is a place she had heard of in her previous life, but she never thought that one day, she would be able to set foot here in person, feel the scenery here, feel the people here, and come to see in person, the most marginal place in Dayong.

Just go over that mountain, and it's Xiyan. Everything about Xiyan, Princess Yan Cheng, Sima Hao, Hushi, etc., also came to mind one by one.

It turned out that she was already so close to Xiyan.

In this life, in order to open up the Xining trade route, in order to continue the road that the Shen family did not complete in the previous life, she actually came here, which is incredible.

"After breakfast, you can walk west along Wenzhen, since you have come here, how can you not look at the garrison of Xiyan across the mountain?" Hu Butu said with a smile.

He didn't say anything serious, as if he came to Wenzhen for pure travel, which made Shen Zeyuan's brows furrow.

"Xiyan is already close. Uncle, they should be in Guizhou soon. We need to finish the investigation here as soon as possible, and then rush to Guizhou to join them. Shen Zeyuan said, remembering the goal of this trip to Wenzhen.

Originally, such a thing as investigating the news was handed over to Ruliudi and Grasshopper to do, but Ruliuzhi and Grasshopper played a greater role in Jingzhao, and Hu Butu must come to Wenzhen to see it in person, so he came here, and after doing a good job here, he had to rush back to Guizhou to send his daughter Shen Yao to marry.

"Don't be in a hurry, Deshan will definitely go to Guizhou slowly, anyway, there is still a period of time before the day of marriage, we can stay here in Wenzhen for a few more days." Hu Butu said.

This time, the most important thing is to visit the medicine market in Wenzhen and understand the operation of the medicine market in Wenzhen, which is the most important thing to come here this time.

Shen Ning listened to Hu Butu and Shen Zeyuan's words, and did not interject, she was not very familiar with such things as commercial affairs, and she would not express her opinions.

In fact, on such an occasion, if it was Shen Mi, she could give useful opinions, but she had already married Yan Shang a few years ago, and she was still living a sweet life in the Gyeonggi area, how could Shen Ning and Shen Zejing let her come to Xining Road?

Only Shen Ning is the most suitable to come to Xining Road, because Ying Nantu has also traveled around Xiyan and Xining Road, and maybe the two can meet again.

After having breakfast at the Wenqi Inn, Hu Butu went to rest, while Shen Ning put on men's clothes and followed Shen Zeyuan out to investigate the situation. This trick was used by Shen Mi when he was in Longjing Zhai, and when he was in class in Jianhua Hall, the master of Tianyi Pavilion taught the skills of makeup and dressing up to these girls of the Shen family.

At first glance, Shen Ning looked like a handsome son, which made Shen Zeyuan angry and funny, and took her, Lian Shan and others to the medicine market to inquire about the situation.

The so-called medicine market is a market where drug market merchants spontaneously gather to sell and purchase medicinal materials, and like an ordinary market, it is just a unique field, and everything related to medicinal materials can be found here, so it gradually became a medicine market.

Because of the abundance of notoginseng here, the status of the medicine market is more important, and the government has specially formed a medicine market guild to manage the medicine market in Wenzhen. The location of the medicine market and the medicine market guild is in the central square of Wenzhen, here. It is the place where Wenzhen trades medicinal herbs.

When Shen Zeyuan and Shen Ning came to the medicine market, even if they were well-informed in Jingzhao. I was also taken aback by the bustle and prosperity of this medicine market.

When I passed by in the morning, there was obviously no one in the shadow. At this moment, it is the end of the Shen period, the medicine market is bustling, it seems that so many people have appeared in Wenzhen at once, shouting, selling, bargaining, and the sound of abacus crackling, which makes Shen Ning think of a word: hot!

Yes, the scene of this drug market. It can be described in two words: hot.

Around the square, there are rows of warehouse-style shops, and in front of each shop are stacked with various medicinal herbs, far away. You can smell the medicine chest; In the middle of the square, there are also dense sacks, judging from the signs on them, they are full of medicinal herbs, and many medicinal herb merchants are circling around these sacks. The value of these medicinal materials is evaluated, and the bidding of these medicinal materials is measured.

Circling around and in the middle of the square were laborers and people pushing wheelbarrows, some of them were shopkeepers, and some were servants of the Wenzhen government. There are even some soldiers carrying medicinal herbs!

Such a liveliness is not inferior to Jingzhaoxiang Street! In this small Wen Town, there are so many pharmacists and so many medicinal materials circulating here. It was only at this time that Shen Ning knew why his grandfather said that Wenzhen and Queensland were the entry points of the Xining trade road.

A small medicine market is such a hot situation, but what about other markets? Shen Ning clearly knew that this medicinal material was ranked second in Queensland business.

So, what about other businesses? What kind of grand occasion will it be for the first place?

Thinking of this, Shen Ning's heart couldn't help but tremble.

Such an obvious fact, the imperial court obviously also knew, in the thirty-sixth year of Changtai when the Dayong mission sent to Xiyan, it had inspected the situation of the Xining Road trade route, but after so many years, the household department did not have any news about the expansion of the trade route.

There are two reasons for this: there is a lack of heart and strength, that is to say, hidden under such an obvious fact, there is an extremely complex and uncontrollable situation, and the water in Queensland is deep.

The Shen family thought of fishing in this deep water, how easy was it?

On the side, Shen Zeyuan also came to the same conclusion as Shen Ning: The water in Queensland is deep.

Soon, Chen Cheng whispered to Shen Ning what he knew about going around in a circle: "This medicine market is a five-day meeting, and all the medicinal material transactions in Wenzhen are completed in the medicine market, and the one who manages this medicine market is the medicine market guild in Wenzhen. The Pharmaceutical Market Guild formulates a series of regulations to ensure the smooth and profitable operation of the Pharmaceutical Market, and all drug dealers, drug dealers, and drug growers must act in accordance with the rules formulated by the Pharmaceutical Market Guild. Of course, people like small stalls and individual customers don't have to follow the rules. ”

In fact, Shen Zeyuan already knew about these when he dealt with the Shang Medicine Guild in Xining Dao earlier, and the situation in this Wenzhen was similar.

"The Wenzhen Pharmaceutical Market Guild is elected every five years, and for the sake of fairness, a family with a clan member who is elected president is not allowed to touch the matter of medicinal materials in these five years. The president of this session is called Li Cishan, who is the son of the Queensland Li family. The previous president was also the Li family, who was known for his fairness and strictness, and had never been involved in the medicinal herb business. The president of this medicine market guild is equivalent to the hereditary of the Li family. ”

Lian Shan added new information, which is different from other places.

If you are not allowed to get involved in the medicinal materials business for five years, then if it is a family engaged in medicinal materials, it is equivalent to cutting off the family's financial lineage.

In places like Queensland and Wenzhen, if you don't get in touch with the medicinal herb business, it is equivalent to entering Baoshan and returning empty, this Li family, it's really strange!

Could it be that the Li family has other ways?
