"Young master, those bandits who surrendered are robbers in the cottage hundreds of miles away, and someone handed them a letter, saying that there are many treasures outside the city today, let them contact more people, and come and wipe everyone out."

The black-armored guard who went to chase and kill the robbers came back and reported the information he heard to Huo Jing, and Lu Weimang followed to observe.

After hearing this, you don't have to think about it to know that it is currently done by a few families who take the most business routes. In the past, they took advantage of the objective conditions that the trade route was difficult to carry out, filled in a bloody road with human lives, monopolized the trade route, and made a lot of money.

At this time, seeing the nobles of Kyoto coming to stir up the situation, of course they were unwilling to let others follow this golden trade route, so they thought that when they collected taxes for the first time at the pass, they would make a lot of trouble, so that even if they couldn't stop the caravans and merchants in the future, at least they could hit the prestige of the pass, so that the pass could not collect taxes smoothly in the future, and they who were traders, of course, knew that this tax was a lot of money.

Huo Jing listened to the report, and there was no surprise, they came here to formulate new rules, and of course the beneficiaries of the original rules would resist, which was expected.

"Arrest all the families that have been monitored by the Black Armor Guards recently, no need to interrogate, no matter how they justify, just wait for the mountain bandits to confess, take them to identify one by one, and don't let any of them go!"

Huo Jing said coldly.

"Whoa!"

A black-armored guard took the order.

Another person immediately stepped forward to report, "General Huo, a total of 1,650 taels of tax and silver were collected at the pass today. ”

"Well, I know, let everyone become proficient in the business as soon as possible, tell you generals, send more people every day, and take turns to practice these days, this is just the beginning, and in a few days, there should be large-scale retail merchants entering and exiting the gates. When the time comes, if your business is not proficient and it leads to congestion at the gates, I will ask you to participate in the general! ”

The faint voice was filled with murderous intent. In the army, obeying orders is the first duty, and Huo Jing, as a leader, certainly has the right to kill and kill.

"Whoa!"

The man took the command and departed.

Finally, there is the report of the caravan. I saw Wang Xinliang, Song Tongsheng, and several squad leaders of the Ma Gang coming over together to meet Huo Jing.

For them, it is a fluke to be able to invest in the Huo family, at this time, wealth is still secondary to them, even the county is in the name of the Huo family, and treating them with courtesy is the moment that makes them feel honored.

"Get up, once you enter my Huo family, you have to abide by my Huo family's rules, if I find out that anyone has violated it, or even used the name of the Huo family to do evil, unless he goes to heaven and earth in the future, otherwise, the Huo family's executioners will chase him to the ends of the earth and end him."

This condescending posture made the heads of the Ma Gang lower, and they all fell to the ground, unanimously expressing their loyalty, "In the future, you should be glorified with the glory of the Huo family, and if you are offended, you will apologize with death!" ”

"Well, get up!"

Only then did Wang Xinliang and the others get up, bow their heads and stand to the side, only Song Tongsheng stood in place, and presented the account book in his hand, "Master, this is the details of today's goods." The horses did not move according to your orders, and the other goods were auctioned on the spot, and all of them were sold. The best part, not sold, is all here. ”

At this stage, what is needed is to make the name of Qionglai, only when there is a steady stream of good goods to sell, then the merchants from all over the country will fly over like flies. When the time comes, Qionglai will become a veritable gateway for the imperial court to lay golden eggs.

Huo Jing looked at the account book in his hand, as well as the silver ticket handed over, and returned it to Song Tongsheng.

"You take over here for the time being, and when the person who connects arrives, it's not too late for you to hand over."

Huo Jing was still as indifferent as ever, as if nothing in this world could move him.

When the Ma Gang retreated, Lu Weimang couldn't help but jump up with joy, "The merchant commission, the goods commission, and the harvest of this on-site bidding for the goods, as well as the money that the Horse Gang received from the merchants to follow, it seems that we are about to get rich!" ”

Where did Lu Weimang ever have such an easy way to make money, although this method was proposed by her, but when the idea became a reality, she couldn't help but be excited.

Huo Jing hooked his lips and smiled, "I regret dedicating such a good method to Your Majesty, right?" I regret telling me, I'll give you back! ”

Although Guo Jing's words were faint, the things involved in the words were not small, if it was said that before the Ma Gang did not show its strong gold-absorbing strength, he gave Lu Weimang, it was just a matter of Huo Jing's words. But at this time, the caravan had already shown a terrifying ability to absorb money, Huo Jing still said so, but he was firm, as if Lu Weimang opened his mouth, and he could really attribute the caravan to Lu Weimang's name.

Lu Weimang knew that Huo Jing would never speak falsely, so when he heard this, his heart trembled, and then he immediately waved his hand, "I can't stand it, I can't stand it, if this is mine, I shouldn't be able to sleep every night." ”

Lu Weimang told the truth, Huo Jing chuckled, "Look at your little talent." ”

Lu Weimang scratched his head, and Huo Jing immediately said, "The officials sent by the DPRK and China to preside over the pass will arrive in Qionglai in a few days, and after the handover, we will return to Kyoto." There are also people who dock the horse gang, and they will also arrive in these two days. If you want to shop, play, or buy, try to shop these days, play as much as you can, buy as much as possible, buy more, and go back as a souvenir. Your Majesty estimates that we are anxious to wait in Kyoto, and we need to hurry up on our return journey. Along the way, there is no chance for you to go shopping. ”

Lu Weimang's face was flat, "I'm an official of the imperial court, where can I just care?" I've also worked out, and when I return, I won't be holding back. ”

Huo Jing smiled evilly, "Really? I hope so. ”

Lu Weimang's face suddenly turned red, and he turned his head not to look at Huo Jing's appearance at this time, the person who had a tense face all day long, suddenly like this, made people feel dazzling, and only broke the panic in his heart in a panic, "By the way, that, what do I want to say?" That's right! ”

Lu Weimang clapped her hands and looked at Huo Jing, when she had something to say, she could resist all kinds of temptations, including beauty, "After we return to Beijing, we should start building a supporting trade route to Qionglai." In the future, with the horse gang, the trading volume of various goods will be greatly increased, and Shu County alone, I am afraid that it will be in short supply, and the price of goods will rise at that time, which will affect the daily life of the people of Shu County. We should make great efforts to calm down the prices here. For example, tea, the local tea in Qionglai has a trend of rising prices at this time, we can transfer the tea from the south of the Yangtze River, as well as salt, Qinhou there, you can send special salt to Qionglai, and silk, the local silk of Shu County is exquisite and abnormal, it is a pity to sell it to the Qiang people, you can transport the silk from Jingyang Erzhou, and then transport the silk of Shu County to Daqian. In this way, one in and one out, you can revitalize most of the dry territory! The economy will come up, and the people's lives will be easier. ”

Lu Weimang said that the impact was brought by the point, Huo Jing's eyes lit up, and even Ding Yi and Lin Chen were yearning for the beautiful scene depicted by Lu Weimang. They are people who have fought wars, but they are not the children of the people in Beijing who do not eat the fireworks of the world, the war in various parts of the country has just stopped, and the people have lived a miserable life with no tomorrow, if they can really make some living money and save some savings, they can also have some hope for the future.

Suddenly, Lin Chen interrupted Lu Weimang, "Miss Lu, what you said is easy, but how difficult Shu Dao is, we have personally walked through it." Do you think ordinary people can easily transport large quantities of goods over? ”

Facing the eyes of the three people who looked at him, Lu Weimang smiled mysteriously, "This requires the power of capital, some people have said that once there is a proper profit, capital will be bold." If there is a 10% profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; With a 20% profit, it becomes active; With a 50% profit, it takes risks; For the sake of 100% profit, it dares to trample on all human laws; With a 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime, even risking hanging its head. If turmoil and strife bring profit, it will incite unrest and strife. ”

Huo Jing listened, pondering and was silent, Lin Chen still scratched his head, "Miss Lu, what does this mean?" ”

Lu Weimang sighed, "Do you know how strong people's desire for a better life is? Disaster victims can move thousands of miles just to eat and live. And businessmen, as long as they see the benefits, there will be waves of people who will go forward to open the way to Shu. Isn't the road we came on the path that the merchant is walking and opening now? In the future, there will be more businessmen who will enter Shu County, and sooner or later they will turn the Shu Dao Trench into a smooth road. ”

Lin Chen listened and said dumbfoundedly, "Although it makes sense, why do you feel a little scary." ”

Of course, it is terrible, and people's hearts can fill mountains and seas. Desire makes people dare not look at it directly.

Lu Weimang suddenly smiled, "What are you afraid of?" No matter what it is, as long as it is regulated and severely punished, there is nothing to be afraid of. Although desire is unlimited, most people have red lines in their hearts. Be content and happy, keep these four words in mind, and you can ensure that people are safe. ”

"And what about the remaining one?"

"It's hard to say, anything is possible."

…

These days, is Lu Weimang out of Kyoto, the most happy days, every day to sleep until the natural awakening, and then go out to climb the mountain to see the water, feel free, do not want to go out to play, you can also go shopping in the city, although the county seat of Qionglai is not big, but almost all the specialties of Shu County are concentrated. Lu Weimang mainly buys some dry goods and bacon and the like, nothing else is unusual, she is rich, although the Shu brocade in Kyoto is more expensive, she can afford it, but these special delicacies, out of Shu County, where is there authentic?

Today, the official who took over the pass in Kyoto also came, and it was not surprising that it was the eldest son of the top noble, Niu Guogong, Niu Changqing.

Although this Lord Niu has an extraordinary family background, he has no shelf, is kind, and does things practically, on the first day of coming, in addition to greeting Huo Jing a few words, he immediately began the process of familiarizing himself with the business.

Lu Weimang followed Huo Jing and presented the specific information of this pass, as well as the development route in recent years, and also conducted in-depth communication. After Lord Niu has already started to get started, the queen sent it, and the steward of the horse gang also came, and there are no weak soldiers under the strong general, and he knows at a glance that he is a shrewd and capable person. When the horse gang came back for the second time, under the witness of Huo Jing, after several people handed over the account books, it was time for Huo Jing, Lu Weimang and others to set off for Beijing.

Who knew that at this juncture, an eight-hundred-mile urgent message came, "Northern Xinjiang is moving, return quickly." ”
