Zhao Hanzhang went with the money and said that she wanted to buy Shu brocade, but she was embarrassed to go empty-handed.

The reason why I wanted to see this steward was because I wanted to know more about the situation in Shudi.

Shudi, a special place.

Because the Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult for the people inside to get out, and it is difficult for the people outside to enter, and it is difficult to reach the news.

Although Zhao Hanzhang has never had a conflict with Shu, when he was the assassin of Yuzhou, he instructed Ji Yuan to send scouts to Shu to investigate the news.

He even borrowed the power of Zhuchuan to install people.

But in the past three years, whether it is the scouts who went in alone or the people who followed the rumors into Sichuan, they have rarely been able to pass on the news.

It had been eight months since they last received news from Shudi, and Li Xiong, the king of Chengdu, took advantage of the melee in the Central Plains to suddenly send troops to attack Fucheng and kill Qian Deng and Wen Shuo, and there was no news from their people after that.

Zhuchuan also disappeared for a period of time and could not be contacted, until the end of the war, the Central Plains was stable, and Zhuchuan went out of Sichuan with a large number of goods.

This time, there were more merchants in Shu who came out with Zhu Chuan than usual, so Zhao Hanzhang wanted to personally inquire with them about the situation in Shu.

It was not only the steward who was waiting in the food building last night, but also their host.

Zhao Hanzhang is dressed in neat narrow sleeves with lapels, a leather belt tied around his waist, a short dagger tied to a belt on the leather belt, leather boots on his feet, his eyes are as clear as a lake, and his eyes are as bright as moonlight when he looks at people, which seems to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

Shen Jian touched her gaze, felt burned, and couldn't help but turn her eyes slightly.

Steward Ma didn't think about it so much, he immediately got up, greeted him with a smile, and then introduced Zhao Hanzhang and the owner, "Girl, this is my owner." ”

Shen Jian had already come back to his senses, clasped his fists and said, "Shen Jian." ”

Zhao Hanzhang also smiled and clasped his fists and saluted, "Zhao Zhen." ”

Shen Jian's heart moved and asked, "The girl's surname is Zhao?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang: "Although the surname is Zhao, it has nothing to do with the now prominent Zhao family, I am from Luoyang, and now my family is withered, and I can only make a living by selling some goods." ”

If it was in the past, Shen Jian would naturally not talk about business with a woman, but now it is different from the past, and now there are women active in all walks of life.

Because of Zhao Hanzhang, it is not uncommon for women to do business.

Shen Jian came to see Zhao Hanzhang, oh, no, it was Zhao Zhen, he came to see her to get in touch with the rich people in Luoyang through her, open the door, and sell the goods they brought at a high price.

The two of them had their own needs and were very friendly, so the conversation went well.

Zhao Hanzhang thought about it carefully and felt that she could still introduce some people to Shen Jian, and now was the time to make money by buying and selling with her eyes closed, so adhering to the principle that fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, she decided to introduce Shen Jian to Cheng Bo.

Mr. Ji and Mr. Ming also seem to have a lot of private wealth, and they definitely want to make money, so they can try to make a fortune.

And her, she doesn't have much money, but she has workshops and shops under her name, maybe they don't mind expanding the scale of their business and expanding their categories?

Shen Jian heard that Zhao Hanzhang was able to introduce so much business to him, and immediately said that he invited this meal, "The son-in-law is so powerful, I want to come to the family to be more powerful, right?" ”

This is to find out whether her family background is reliable or not, Zhao Hanzhang sighed: "My father and brother are all in the war, and now there is only one younger brother, so the family relies on me to support, the people I just told Brother Shen are the stewards of my family's old family, although they are stewards, they will still sell me this little face, Brother Shen rest assured." ”

Shen Jian said that he was very relieved, but only he knew what he thought in his heart.

Zhao Hanzhang took the opportunity to inquire about the affairs of Shudi, "Now that the war has stopped, there are fewer bandits outside, I heard that Shu not only has exquisite silk and Shu brocade, but also a variety of precious medicinal materials, so I also want to go to Shu for a walk after the New Year, I don't know if Brother Shen knows that Shu is easy to walk now?" ”

Shen Jian was slightly flustered, "Girl Zhao wants to go to Shu in person?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang: "I have this plan." ”

Shen Jian shook her head and smiled: "I persuade Miss Zhao to dispel this idea, Shu is not easy to go." ”

"I know it's hard to do it."

"But at this time, it is not only the difficulty of Shu Road," he said: "It is not a secret, Shu has just ended the war, so a large number of displaced people from Shu have poured into Jingzhou and Yangzhou." ”

"It's like this in other places, let alone Shudi? The defeated rebel army, the villages implicated by the war, countless people became homeless, some followed the homeless marshal to Jingzhou and Yangzhou, but more people chose to go up the mountain and fall into the grass as a coward. ”

Shen Jian said: "Miss Zhao also said that the Shu Road is difficult and dangerous, so you should know that Shu has many lofty mountains and mountains, and the thieves are hiding in the mountains, even if the imperial court sends a large army, it will be difficult to exterminate them." ”

Zhao Hanzhang: "Then you ......"

"We were able to go out of Sichuan because we followed the caravan of the princes," Shen Jian did not shy away from it, and said directly: "The Zhu family is a big family and has a lot of prestige, especially in the past few years, because of the unique glaze, the power of their families has become more and more huge, and bandits from all walks of life will give their family a little face." ”

"We, the vassal merchants, hand over a share of the money, and the families will transfer it on our behalf, and we can keep the road safe."

Zhao Hanzhang suddenly realized, "The families have such prestige, isn't there someone who is an official in Shuzhong?" ”

"There are no officials, but several sons of the Zhu family are disciples of the Heavenly Master Dao, and even the sons of the Zhu Chuan have Taoism."

Zhao Hanzhang said "wow", "I didn't expect that Zhu Gongzi was actually a Heavenly Master." ”

The topic of the two went astray, and they talked about the Heavenly Master for a while before Zhao Hanzhang found an excuse to leave.

She wrote down Shen Jian's address and said that she would let the steward come to her door the next day.

Then she bought all the three Shu brocades brought by Shen Jian, and she didn't bargain, which made her flesh ache.

Zhao Hanzhang handed over Shu Jin to the guards, got on the horse and walked away before whining: "I will never come to discuss business in person in the future, and now I can't bargain with my face." ”

Zeng Yue also felt that this Shu brocade was too expensive to buy and not worth it, so he nodded in agreement, but he was very curious, "Girl, why don't you stop asking when you mention Heavenly Master Dao?" ”

"Didn't you notice, he has a string of golden rice ears hanging around his waist, so he is also the Heavenly Master Dao," Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said: "Although the Heavenly Master Dao has nothing to do with this, because this Dao is also called the 'Five Buckets of Rice Dao', some people will hang rice ears and wheat ears around their waists to show their way." ”

"Now Fan Changsheng, the prime minister of Shudi, is the leader of the Heavenly Master Dao, since he has talked about the Heavenly Master Dao, if he digs deeper, he will be talked about, Shen Jian will not only not tell me, but will also be vigilant, so we only talk about the Tao, and no longer talk about the people behind the Tao."

"Then, is the Zhuchuan the eyeliner that Shu has planted in us? It's been a long time since our people have heard back. ”

"I don't know," Zhao Hanzhang said: "You let Song Xin move faster, try to select a team of excellent scouts, and do everything possible to send them into Shu, as long as the radio can enter, Shu Dao will no longer be an obstacle to our contact." ”

"Yes, the last general will urge Song Xin when he goes back."
