Chapter 46: The Way of Business

Following Lao Li all the way and explaining all the way, Han Tian also understood why he was arguing.

It was not without them that they had passed by here before, and there were also some children who used to collect some forage and sell it to the caravan to feed the livestock.

As long as one or two coppers were given casually before, those children would be very happy, but this time it was not possible, those children each carried a bamboo basket on their backs, and a basket of forage was sold for ten catties of copper plates.

Lao Liu, who was feeding the horses in the caravan, felt that the price was too expensive, so he scolded the child who sold forage, but the old man who set up a stall here stopped doing it when he heard it, and the two sides quarreled.

Han Tian, who rushed to the place of the incident, heard the two sides arguing, and hurriedly pulled everyone away.

"Don't forget the forage, why are you scolding the child? We are reluctant to scold ourselves, we don't want you to cut the hay yourself, we won't serve! ”

A few old men protected a few children behind them and scolded indignantly.

After looking at the situation, Han Tian was relieved to see that the two sides did not fight, but the problem still needs to be solved.

"Hello old man, I'm the shopkeeper of the caravan, the guy just now is not sensible, how about I take a look?"

Han Tian stood up and said, beckoning a child with a bamboo basket on his back to look at the forage inside.

It's really good, it's all fresh, and the grass juice is still dripping from the fractures, and you can tell at a glance that it has only been cut off for a short time.

Han Tian nodded and said, "Okay, we want these forages, Lao Liu, pay these children." ”

Although it is indeed more expensive to ask for a copper plate for a basket of forage, it is all good grass, and it also saves them the need to arrange for their men to go out to cut the grass.

He kind of understood that this newly built inn needs money everywhere, but as long as you have money, you will be very comfortable living here, and there are people to eat, drink and lazar, provided you have money.

Han Tian spoke, and Lao Liu on the side was a little unwilling, and shouted to the shopkeeper, but he was glared at, and then he was silent, and took out the copper plate to pay.

"It's still the big shopkeeper's sensibility, come, smoke a cigarette."

After the child sold the forage in the basket, an old man on the side touched a few cigarettes from the bamboo tube he was carrying behind him and distributed them to the people in the caravan.

Han Tian took the cigarette, and looked at the 'cigarette' wrapped in white paper in his hand with some confusion, he didn't know what it was again.

However, after watching the old man opposite light it with a fire fold and smoke it, he also lit it in the same way.

As soon as he took a puff, Han Tian's eyes widened, isn't this smoke the same withered leaves that he used to smoke? But I don't choke my throat anymore, and I have a more mellow smell.

Smoking a cigarette, Han Tian dispersed the crowd and pulled the old man who gave him a cigarette to the side, squatted aside, pulled the family routine, and then began to inquire about the news.

"Old man, how many cigarettes do you have, do you sell them?"

He had only been in this inn for less than half a day before he discovered two business opportunities.

One is the pen that the administrator used to write, and the other is the 'cigarette' in his hand.

If you can buy goods from these three towns and buy them in other places, you can definitely sell them for a lot of money, this withered leaf, no, this cigarette, there are many people on the whole continent who smoke it.

"I don't have a lot of miles on me, just two bamboo pipes, if you want to buy it, you'll have to find a cigarette factory, but for a large caravan like you, there aren't many cigarettes." The old man said as he smoked a cigarette and shook his head.

Han Tian nodded, didn't ask any more, and wrote down the word cigarette factory.

......

For the caravan, it was supposed to rest here for a day at most before continuing on the road, but Han Tian saw the business opportunity here and chose to stay here for two more days.

The night passed, and the next morning, the breakfast stall in the square was set up by old men and women. A steaming breakfast as much as you want, as long as you pay.

For the caravan, this night can be said to be very comfortable, not only the bed is soft, but the mosquitoes are also driven away by the wormwood distributed in each room, if it is too hot, you can also go downstairs to find the caretaker who is on duty all night to ask for a mat.

In the inn, Han Tian listened to the news of his subordinates coming back after eating breakfast.

"The grandson of the blacksmith Xu Xiande's family, interesting, can a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy bring such a big change to this place?"

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Han Tian touched his round chin and thought, and lit another cigarette.

This is a bamboo cigarette that he bought from the old man yesterday for a full two taels of silver, and the price can be described as extremely expensive, but he doesn't care.

"Lao Li, Lao Tian, you find someone to find a way for me to meet that young man." After smoking a cigarette, Han Tian threw the cigarette butt to the ground and said.

"If we can meet each other and negotiate the sale of this cigarette, maybe we can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver or more on this trip."

"Okay, I'll go right away." The old man next to him quickly responded, turned around and walked out of the inn.

.......

In the central area of Sanzhi Town, in a newly established two-story building, Xu Chuan listened to the news of Han Tian's request to see him, and a smile appeared on his face.

His plan succeeded.

The businessman pursued profits, and when he deliberately arranged for someone to release the wind and display cigarettes, the other party really took the initiative to come to the door.

After hearing the news, Xu Chuan pulled Ji Liang over, and transferred more than a dozen elites from the town guards.

One is to act as a guard to prevent accidents; The second is to be used as a hook.

These guards are wearing a series of equipment such as Tang knives, iron embryo bows, daggers, etc., as for the purpose, it is naturally to lure the other party's eyes and put forward the need to buy weapons.

Although it is said that whoever has the need to do business is God, and whoever has money is God, but there are some things that do not mean that you can buy them if you have money.

In later generations, his motherland spent more than a billion yuan to buy lithography machines, but didn't they buy it in the end?

It can be seen that whoever has the resources that the other party needs is the real God.

.......

Soon after the new construction was built, in the two-story small building that served as the office office, Xu Chuan saw Han Tian, the shopkeeper of the Tianxia Commercial Bank, a fat middle-aged man.

"The shopkeeper of the Tianxia Commercial Bank, Han Tian, is that you?" Sitting on the wooden chair, Xu Chuan looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and asked.

"It's me." Han Tian nodded, looking at the young man sitting across the long table with curiosity.

It was hard for him to imagine how a boy who looked fifteen or sixteen years old could build an army, build an inn square, and get cigarettes out in half a year at most.

After confirming the identity of the other party, Xu Chuan pointed to the chair opposite the long table, and said with a smile: "Please sit, I heard that you have something to do with me?" ”

Han Tian nodded, glanced at the heavily armed guards in the room, and found a seat to sit down.

After hesitating for a moment, he pulled a cigarette out of his pocket and decided to say his intentions directly.

A person who can change this chaotic and bandit-ridden area in a short period of time, or a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, will most likely not like to chat in circles.
