Several merchants were loading horse-drawn carts and buying and selling goods in a simple bazaar.

It was evident that their goods were very popular, and many peasant women with their children were picking them up.

In remote mountainous areas where trade is difficult, such foreign trade convoys are very popular.

Generally speaking, the convoy does not sell items that are too expensive and do not meet the needs of the Lingnan people. Slightly better clothes, high-quality seeds, special furniture items, and BMWs, food, clothing, housing and transportation have been the focus of people's attention throughout the ages.

Everyone walked around in front of the mobile stalls, and the huge word "Zhen" was pasted outside the carriage, indicating their identity.

Of course, they are not the only ones in the trade team this time, but it is obvious that the Zhen family's stall is more popular, and it must have captured the hearts of the people of Kuchaling.

A young man, who was Zhen Hao, the side branch of the Zhen family who accompanied the caravan, looked at the lively market in front of him and couldn't help but be surprised.

"I can't imagine that in this poor and remote country, the people of Lingling are so rich, even the jewel treasure can afford it. You must know that generally speaking, these things are prepared for the wives and concubines of powerful people. ”

He happened to see a woman with her daughter, choosing beautiful jewelry to decorate it.

The older steward on the side obviously knew more.

"Not only are the people of Lingling rich, but this place has heard that a new auspicious rui has been born, which can be blended with gold and iron, and it can actually kill and injure bad omens.

You must know that anything that is linked to a bad omen is worth twice as much, and it is shit luck that this place has such auspiciousness. ”

When Zhen Hao heard this, he was also interested and said.

"Oh? I don't know what the effect of this thing is, and the villagers in the mountains and fields may not know the depth, and take some of the effects as a treasure to resist auspiciousness, and they can be smiling and generous, but they have to keep their eyes open. ”

The steward shook his head and said.

"This matter is personally identified by the head manager Lord Zhen Yin, naturally I can't be wrong, I heard that the Kucha Mansion is quite ambitious, and he also wants to acquire a mature auspicious rui.

It's just that this matter needs to wait for the return of the other party's mansion master before it can be discussed. ”

Zhen Hao was stunned and said in surprise.

"Xiangrui? Mo didn't bring back that piece from Yongcheng, how could it be, it didn't mean that it was specially prepared for the lineage, how could it be sold to such a rural land. ”

The steward said something meaningful.

"My Zhen family is business-oriented, as long as the other party can afford the price, they can negotiate, there is nothing that cannot be discussed.

What's more, this thing is not in my hand now, and it is good to use it as an introduction, and it is good to drop the fish and take the bait. ”

Zhen Hao nodded, looking teachable.

At this time, a well-dressed middle-aged man walked out of the house, saw the two, and greeted him.

"You two put down what you are doing and go to the mansion with me, I heard that the lord of Kuchaling Mansion has come back and wants to discuss auspicious matters."

With that, he took the lead.

The two hurriedly followed Zhen Yin, picked up a gift at random, and walked into the distance.

After a while, they arrived at the gate of the palace, a very simple wooden fence, like a stockade, and even the soldiers were very scarce and scattered.

If someone says that a gang of robbers will come and take down the government, I am afraid they will believe it. Such rudimentary defenses are inferior to even bandits, let alone those wealthier villages and towns.

Businessmen like them who travel from south to north are well-informed, and they are even more disdainful. If it weren't for the fact that there were people here with tea noodles, I really didn't want to do business with them.

Steward Zhen Li glanced into the distance, and happened to see some guards transporting equipment, which were initially some unpopular armor, but it seemed to be mixed with very expensive Dao talisman equipment, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

It's just that before he can see the real thing, he is transported into a simple house, which makes him wonder if he is wrong. Such a high-quality armor, so casually thrown in the warehouse, are you not afraid of being greedy for ink by your subordinates?

Before he could think deeply, the three of them arrived at the mansion master's mansion.

The gloomy big house, lit with oil lamps, is very quaint, and has nothing to do with words such as luxury and wealth, no wonder the Zhen family does not attach much importance to this transaction. Maybe Kucha Lingdong can afford to buy an ordinary treasure, but Xiangrui's thing is not something that can be picked out with spirit coins alone, but more by relationship.

There were several people in the house, and on both sides of the battle were the government judge Zhong Min and the agricultural envoy Liu Wu, both of whom had met before, and the only stranger was the young man sitting in the middle chair, who was holding a teacup and drinking water, very young.

Zhen Yin glanced at Liu Wu, he knew that Kucha had acquired Xiangrui, but he was willing to let the news out, but it was still on Liu Wu's face.

This master of preparing spiritual fertilizer and cultivating farming is also well-known in Li Town, and Zhen Yin has naturally heard of it. I thought that the other party had gone to Yongcheng, but I didn't want to settle down in this small place and become a farmer, which was a bit overkill.

Especially looking at his attitude towards the young mansion master, he was so respectful that he was a little humble, so he couldn't help but smile. It seems that this bitter tea is new and auspicious, perhaps attracting the master's mood.

As the head of the caravan and one of the managers of the Zhen family's main fleets, he is naturally an old man. The matter of human face tea, the initial bitter tea ridge seems to be covered, but gradually it begins to communicate with each other, as for the special effects, it can be fused with ancient iron and other Jin Ge things, crushed and purified into venom, and some of the bad omen is weird, very strong.

What does this mean, the two fools don't know, he still doesn't understand, it's comparable to a simple Dao talisman, and it also saves the production cost.

If Kuchaling goes one step further, the value of the poison talisman refined into a trait is even more expensive.

At present, it is only a sporadic purchase by some caravans, and they have no decision-making figures, so they simply buy it and go back to ask for instructions.

At this moment, he Zhen Yin is in the mansion, if he can negotiate an exclusive acquisition, returning to the Zhen family must be a great achievement, and maybe he can be promoted to the seat of the general manager of commerce.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile even more, waved his hand, and Zhen Yin handed over the gift.

"I heard that the Lord of the Li Mansion is back, I specially prepared a thin gift, which is a special armor from Thorn Ridge, please accept it."

Hearing this, Zhong Min and Liu Wu were stunned, and their expressions were a little weird.

Li He didn't care, he didn't even look at this meeting gift, but just said.

"I heard Zhong Min say that you have a mature Jinchuang grass in your hand and are willing to sell it?"

Li He got straight to the point, Zhen Yin was inevitably a little unhappy, and he wanted to turn to the sale of human face tea first, so he was vain.

"Jinchuang grass is a black place name medicine, very well tolerated, when it blooms, it has a fragrant taste, ten miles of fragrance, it can smear external injuries, accelerate healing, a rare spiritual plant, its auspiciousness is extremely difficult to be born, even Li Zhen is very rare."

Hearing Zhen Yin's nonsense, Liu Wu said with an unhappy face.

"Director Zhen, my family naturally knows these common senses, don't talk nonsense, just talk about your asking price."

Whether it is Li He or Liu Wu, they are all people of Li Town, and they naturally know the extraordinaryness of Jinchuang grass, it is not only the main medicine for external injuries, but also the rare growth conditions are very wide, and the land conditions of Kuchaling are not good, so they choose Kucha as a planting.

Generally speaking, Xiangrui's environment needs to be mild, even if it is forcibly transplanted, although it can rely on Xiangrui's own aura to improve the land and environment, it will take years and months, Li He really doesn't have this time, so he chose Jinchuang Cao.

It's just that although the growth conditions of this thing are wide, it is extremely difficult for auspicious to be born, and its medicinal effect and quality are directly linked, that is to say, the best Jinchuang grass must be accompanied by Jinchuang Xiangrui, so it is cherished.

Seeing this, Zhen Yin smiled.

"Since a few people are so anxious, I won't hide it, Jin Chuangcao Xiangrui, I have to get fifteen thousand spirit coins, otherwise I won't sell it!"

Hearing this price, even Zhong Min and Liu Wu, who had been prepared for a long time, couldn't help but be stunned, and then scolded.

"You're a lion's mouth! Even if it is rare to be auspicious in the mature period, more than 5,000 spirit coins should be sold, although Jin Chuangcao is cherished, it is too much to multiply it several times! ”

Zhen Yin shook his head.

"The Kuchaling land is barren and lacks water, I heard that even the spiritual spring is about to wither, the spiritual energy is missing, and the idle spirit plants cannot survive, so they can only be planted with Jinchuang grass."

Due to the cultivation of human face tea, the eroded spiritual spring was considered a secret, so the caravan heard the news of the withering of the spiritual spring.

Liu Wu was not easy to fool, and retorted.

"Although Jinchuang grass is valuable, only the part of the field close to Xiangrui is quite valuable, and ordinary herbs are planted everywhere, so it is not too expensive."

Being exposed to the facts, Zhen Yin was not embarrassed, but just looked at Li He and found that the other party had no extra movements, still drinking tea, and said lightly.

"This item was originally going to be dedicated to the Zhen family, but I also decided to sell it after a great awakening, so naturally the price will be higher."

Zhen Yin paused, and then said.

"I heard that the bitter tea is a new auspicious human face tea, and the effect is extremely good, but the sales channels are very narrow, and each caravan can only bid for it, which is inconvenient for its reputation to be promoted.

It's not as good as this, Kuchaling cooperates with my Zhen family caravan, and we buy human face tea and then resell it, in order to avoid extraneous branches, Guiling can refuse the rest of the caravan. Of course, we will definitely satisfy you with the purchase price.

If this agreement is reached, Jin Chuangcao Xiangrui and I can be the master, and I can give a discount, only 5,000 spirit coins. If you don't have cash, you can pay the amount you owe on credit and pay it after cooperation. ”

is worthy of being a businessman, and he has a good calculation. If you want to monopolize the business of human face tea, and sell Xiangrui at half price, you must know that five thousand spirit coins can buy most Xiangrui, it is really an empty glove white wolf.

Zhong Min was angry and said.

"Director Zhen is a little whimsical, we can sell the human face tea as much as we want, and you still want to reach out?"

Zhen Yin didn't speak, but Zhen Hao couldn't help but speak.

"Liu Wu, I'm afraid you're confused in this poor country, if we let us handle these items, we will definitely double their price, and sell them as rough as you are, and destroy the heavens."

Zhen Yin scolded softly.

"I'll talk to the farmer about which round to get your speech!"

It seemed to be scolding, but there was no blame in the slightest, and it was clear that what he wanted to say was the same.

To put it bluntly, the Zhen family is still powerful, one of the four major families of businessmen in Li Town, and the second lady of the Li family, who has enough capital, so they naturally look down on these remote mountains around them.

If you offend them and sue the Li family, these lords will not do the number of land deeds, or say otherwise, how dare ordinary Lingdi offend them.

However, they will not do too much easily, after all, merchants are mainly trading, and they are still quite different from cultivators, and they are more willing to lure them into profit.

But Kuchaling's human face tea does have great potential, and even Zhen Yin, a veteran, can't help but be moved, and if he wants to hold it in his hand, he will inevitably use some strong pressure or temptation.

The atmosphere in the hall was a little dull, on the one hand, Zhong Min and Liu Wu were angry, but they didn't expect the Zhen family lion to open his mouth, and he didn't introduce them here if he knew it, and he lost points in front of Li He.

On the other side, a few members of the Zhen family thought that they were pinching them, and they looked determined to win. Especially Zhen Hao, who is young and vigorous, can't hide his arrogance, as if he is looking at a few local officials in the poor countryside in front of him, I'm afraid I have never seen so many spirit coins in my life.

At this moment, Li He put down the tea bowl, and the sound of the porcelain cup hitting the wooden table was clearly audible, and he did not talk about auspiciousness, but looked at the meeting gift that he had not seen with his eyes.

"Director Zhen sent this thorn armor, presumably he has a good relationship with Thorn Ridge, so he can obtain such a good treasure."

Seeing that the lord of the mansion, who had always pretended to be deep, spoke, Zhen Yin was as steady as Mount Tai.

"That is, my Zhen family has a specific trade channel with Thorn Ridge, and the Zhen family's caravan must be given priority in monthly shipments. If there is any need in Thorn Ridge, the caravan will also replenish the goods in advance and deliver them. ”

His expression was vaguely proud, after all, the name of Thorn Ridge was also famous, and it was not easy for the Zhen family to grab this priority.

Li He meant something.

"In this way, the Zhen family has a good trade route, what kind of treatment does Thorn Ridge give you? Presumably, as the manager just said, with full agency, no one else can touch the thorns, right? ”

How is this possible, no matter how good the Zhen family is in business and trade, Thorn Ridge will only give them some preferential treatment, just like treating a dog that smells the fragrance and throws more bones, how to reverse the host and guest?

Zhen Yin heard the ridicule in Li He's mouth, and couldn't help but be annoyed and angry.

"Mansion Lord Li said cautiously, what is the identity of the Zhao family in Thorn Ridge, you must also know that the Li Zhen Guard Si family, with such a backstage, can naturally be accommodating.

My Zhen family is willing to contribute some resources to make friends, and the benefits it brings are naturally not only in the mountains, but also in Li Town. ”

"The name of the lord of Li He's mansion, I have also heard of it in Li Town, lost the eight products of auspiciousness, and was kicked out of the house and exiled to Kuchaling.

Now it is not easy to cultivate a new auspicious rui, and it is not the green bamboo of the Li family, but a skill. It's just that you can make another deal with the Li family?

Why don't you cooperate with the Zhen family, and when the time comes, return to your hometown and make Li Guangyuan regret the beginning, wouldn't it be a wonderful thing? ”

Zhen Yin then said in a seductive tone.

"I heard that Li Gongzi was interested in Lingyu, the third lady of my Zhen family, this cooperation is successful, I can be a matchmaker, the two talented women are not a good match?"

It seems that Zhen Yin is not pure arrogance, he has also done many investigations on Kuchaling before, and he is clear about Li He's identity.

As an abandoned young patriarch, could he cooperate with the Li family? Young people, they are arrogant, especially to keep Kuchaling in order, and they can be regarded as having some skills.

It's just that he is married to his own lady, I'm afraid there is still a gap, and I heard that he met with Lingyu in the Yellow Crane Tower before leaving, so it must be inseparable.

He first took it upon himself to take it upon himself, and when the time came, let Lingyu get a little trick, let this infatuated son fall under his skirt, and the human face tea was captured!

When Li He heard the other party's words, he suddenly burst out laughing, and his voice lingered in the closed hall for a long time.

"Hahahaha!"

As if he had heard some ridiculous story, after a long time, several members of the Zhen family showed anger on their faces, and they couldn't help it, so Li He asked coldly.

"Director Zhen has been away from home for a month, and he must have not returned to Li Town recently."

When Zhen Yin heard this, he was a little confused, and subconsciously replied.

"I naturally know about the affairs of Li Town, the caravan and the town have a special way to transmit news, Li Tianshi ......"

As if he wanted to explain the ability of his caravan, thinking that Li He was going to say that the current situation was dangerous, who knew that Li He waved his hand, and his face became more and more gloomy.

"I'm not talking about the crisis in Lizhen, but the Zhen family, I'm afraid it's a little difficult at the moment! Even if you're unlucky, it's gone! ”

Hearing this, Zhen Hao was furious and raised his finger and said.

"You!"

But he didn't realize that Zhen Yin's face behind him changed drastically, and he looked at Li He incredulously.

Li He glanced at the young man of the Zhen family and said coldly.

"If you refer to me like that, someone will be dissatisfied!"

Before the words fell, he saw a broken finger flying, and a miserable scream came, Zhen Hao covered his hands with a pale face, and looked at a person who appeared in the hall.

With a cold aura exuding from his body, his face was bloodless, and he bowed respectfully towards Li He.

"Your Excellency!"

This scene simply stunned several members of the Zhen family, and even the injured Zhen Hao endured the pain and muttered incredibly, as if saying that it was impossible, and he couldn't believe the scene in front of him anyway.

Without him, the worshipper is none other than the Lord of Thorn Ridge, Zhao Tian!
