On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, there are still six days before the Chinese New Year's Eve.

The county town of Changzi is very lively, with a variety of M-N New Year's goods, which are placed on both sides of the street. People happily flocked in front of one vendor after another, smiling and haggling. The eldest girl shyly pestered her mother to buy herself a good headdress, hoping to attract Ruyi Langjun at the Lantern Festival; the little daughter-in-law f-stared intently at the clothes worn by the children, holding a cloth tiger in her hand; the dolls pulled at the placket of their father's clothes, and looked at the candy man with their eyes pinched......

Early in the morning, Zhao Xing took Xu Wanting, Xu Wanlin and Zhao Gang to the eldest son county, and they came to go shopping today. Since a fire burned down the county guard mansion on Chinese New Year's Eve last year, Zhao Xing has rarely been to the county seat, except for occasionally going to the county to order a few words and say a few words to Sima Zhi, he really has not carefully visited the county seat.

This time, Zhao Xing entered the city and went shopping on the surface, but he actually observed the people's situation and inspected the defense system of the eldest son's county. Through intelligence analysis, Zhao Xing knew that this year, like last year, could not be spent peacefully. It's not that he doesn't want to be peaceful, it's that there are too many people who don't want Zhao Xing to be peaceful.

News from Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Shuofang, Shangjun and other places, the Qianghu and Xianbei people have suffered a snowstorm this year, many people and horses have frozen to death, and the large and small tribes have swallowed each other, and now it is basically over, and they are gathering people and horses to prepare to go south along the Yunzhong region along the Yellow River, and then turn east to invade and merge the state, and it is very likely that Shangdang will be the destination. Who made the Shangdang appear so rich, and who made the long river Daqu come out of the Shangdang?

The Qianghu and Xianbei people are all horseback peoples, almost all the people are soldiers, everyone is good at riding sh-, and they act very quickly, killing people and setting fires, looting and looting, and almost doing all kinds of evil. The Han people of Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Liangzhou have to suffer from the scourge of these foreign ethnic groups every year, and now the Southern Xiongnu who are settled in the Great Wall, although they nominally obey the management of the Han Dynasty, but they also have ghosts in their hearts, and they collude with several ethnic groups outside the Great Wall. Once the strength of the Han Dynasty's armies on the border was reduced, they would also start to fight with the idea of robbing the Han Chinese.

"Brother Xing, the eldest son county is not much more lively than Crouching Tiger City!" Xu Wanlin compared it and said how she felt.

Xu Wanting on the side didn't speak, but what she thought about was the scene where Zhao Xing flattened the third son of the Zhang family for herself last year. Now, the Zhang family has been wiped out in the party, but Zhao Xing has grown from a wild boy who sold furniture to a general with an army of tens of thousands, and most importantly, he has become his husband.

"There are still more people in the county town of Changzi, and the goods are more complete," Zhao Xing said. In less than three years, a heroic city was built on a flat land, and others felt that Zhao Xing should be very proud, but Zhao Xing himself was never satisfied. His goal is not just to build a big city, he intends to improve some of the advanced management experience of modern cities and apply them to the construction of ancient cities, and Crouching Tiger City is a pilot for him to realize his ideals.

"In the next step, I want to make Crouching Tiger City the center of all kinds of materials in the north, so that all merchants from all over the world can come to do business!" Zhao Xing said with certainty.

"If everyone in the party attaches such importance to the world's businessmen as Brother Tai, it is really possible, but it's a pity that ......" A voice floated down sourly from a restaurant where Zhao Xing was passing.

"Who is the talker upstairs, why don't you go downstairs and talk about it?" Zhao Xing looked up and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a business traveler looking at his group from the window, and when he heard what he said, he moved his mind to talk. Anyway, I'm just hanging out today, listening to what the businessmen who are going from south to north are thinking, and maybe it will be beneficial for their future plans.

"Zhang Shiping in Xiahebei, I have seen the general!" The businessman upstairs quickly got out of the restaurant, came to Zhao Xing, and whispered a salute.

"Oh, how does Mr. Zhang know that he is under a name?" the person who came easily recognized his identity, which made Zhao Xing more and more interested.

"It is often said in Shangdang Township that the general travels, and he often takes two NVs and a child beside him, and he drinks in a high-rise building today, and he sees the general and his party walking leisurely from a distance, and there are many healthy soldiers behind him, so Shiping speculated the identity of the general...... "Zhang Shiping explained to Zhao Xing very respectfully.

"It seems that the secrecy of travel in the future will have to be strengthened, if someone is ambushed upstairs just now, using a bow and crossbow against himself, even if he doesn't die, it is estimated that he will have to shed his skin, not to mention whether the delicate Xu sisters next to him will be hurt" Zhao Xing instantly thought a lot, and said casually: "I don't know if Mr. Zhang is free, there are many people here, I want to find a quiet place and talk to Mr. Zhang in detail." ”

"I can't ask for it, Shiping is relying on the general for something!" Zhang Shiping heard that Zhao Xing was giving face like this, and agreed very painfully.

Upstairs in the drunken immortals, at the table where Zhao Xing and Guan Yu used to fight wine, two men and two NVs sat around, and there was a half-grown boy standing next to him, needless to say, these four people were Zhao Xing and Zhang Shiping and his party.

"Listening to what Mr. Zhang said just now, it seems that you have encountered some trouble in the party? But someone is making things difficult for you?" Zhao Xing asked.

"No one has ever made things difficult, but the things entrusted by others have not been completed so far, and I am quite unwilling in my heart. Zhang Shiping said helplessly.

"I don't know what worries Mr. Zhang?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Shiping was entrusted by his friend Su Shuang, and when he passed through Shangdang on his way back from the west, he bought a car of the top Changhe Daqu for his friend and brought it back to Hebei along the way. However, although the Changhe Daqu sold in Shangdang City has a mellow taste, it is not the top Changhe Daqu that friends call it......" Zhang Shiping said

"I don't know what Mr. Zhang's friends used to spend a lot of money to buy this top-notch Changhe Daqu?" There are not many people who know the top long river, except for the emperor and some official eunuchs in Luoyang City, people from other places have not had the opportunity to sing the top long river.

"My friend was looking for good wine, but it was for someone to drink. Because I promised others, but I couldn't do anything to break my word, so I was asked to come to the party to look for it. I didn't know that I came to Shangdang to look for many days, only to see that there was a strong fragrance and a long river of elegant fragrance for sale, even if I said that my mouth was dry, the merchant refused to sell the top river. I don't know if the general can help, ask where this top Changhe is sold, and Shiping can go and ask for a sale......" Zhang Shiping only knew that Zhao Xing had a relationship with Zuixianlou, but he didn't understand the specific inside story very well, so he didn't directly ask Zhao Xing to help, but went around the bend to inquire. Since the opening of the first drunken immortal building, Zhao Xing has been hiding behind the scenes, and it is normal for him not to be known to outsiders.

"This matter is easy to do, tomorrow you take someone to the Drunken Immortal Building in Crouching Tiger City, and directly find the big shopkeeper there, and he will arrange everything for you!" Zhao Xing did not embarrass Zhang Shiping, anyway, others came to buy wine at a large price, and the top Changhe in his cellar is now full of four D-NG warehouses of A, B, C, and D, and it is not bad for this car.

"Thank you so much General Zhao!" Zhang Shiping was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

"It's a trivial matter, so why worry about it. Since Mr. Zhang is a famous businessman who walks the world, he should also become a friend of Crouching Tiger City in the future, and we will naturally treat each other with good wine when friends come!" Zhao Xing threw a big hat to Zhang Shiping.

"I have heard that the general Xiong is broad-minded, likes to make friends all over the world, and can sit down with all three religions and nine streams, but now it seems that it is true! Merchants have always been despised by others, but now the general can look up to it with blue eyes, and in the future, Shiping should try his best to promote the grand wish of the general to make Crouching Tiger City the center of commerce and trade in the north!" Zhang Shiping said movingly.

"I have a good friend named Liu Jili, who was also a businessman who traveled south and north in his early years, and arrived in Crouching Tiger City yesterday, Brother Zhang might as well go and visit, there will be business opportunities to be found!" Zhao Xinggu Hu-Zhang Shiping went to find Liu Jili, to put it bluntly, he was looking for his own agent. When it comes to doing business, it is best for jiao to give businessmen. Zhao Xing can make a list of the materials he needs, and then give it to Liu Jili, so that they can slowly grind the price and talk about cooperation. If you let yourself do everything yourself, then Zhao Xing, the shopkeeper, will not be worthy of the name.

After dinner and seeing off the happy Zhang Shiping, Zhao Xing got into the carriage and staggered back to the party. Walking on the road, Zhao Xing suddenly remembered that after the Yellow Turban Uprising in the previous life, Liu Bei seemed to be funded by businessmen Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, and organized a rebel army to join the captain Zou Jing to ask for meritorious service. Thinking of this, Zhao Xing pondered in his heart: "Guan Yu has already bowed to himself, who will Liu Da'er play with now?"

What Zhao Xing didn't expect was that Liu Da'er was now traveling around to study, and he happened to run to the border of Hebei and met the businessman Su Shuang. The top-notch Changhe that Su Shuang bought this time was for Liu Bei! So why did Liu Bei engage in this car of Changhe Daqu?
