Chapter Eighty-Six: The Merchant and the Swordsman
Half a catty and eight taels can be regarded as a person from the rivers and lakes, and Tang Jianren is somewhat clear about the way to hire swordsmen for the caravan. Being able to follow the official road of the businessman's team and go to Hangzhou Mansion is naturally the fastest way.
Hiring a knife means keeping these people safe along the way.
The family of the time-honored merchant family has its own escort team.
The guards trained by their own families are obviously more assured.
Moreover, the guards cultivated by this system, not to mention loyalty, form a simple battle formation in the army with each other, and they can even compete with monsters in a short time.
A business that is qualified to pass through the official road, who does not have several batches of family soldiers to guard.
Can a time-honored brand like them use to hire knives in the old commercial street?
.......
Listening to Tang Jianren's questioning, Gu Ye flicked the table with his fingers.
He looked at the old commercial street where people came and went, and it seemed that he was still waiting for someone.
.........
"Since Brother Tang knows about hiring knives, he should know that when a firm hires a knifeman guard, it is often because he is reluctant to spend money on a dart board, or he can't afford to support his own guards.
The knife hand is cheap, but there are too many factors of instability.
Firms hire swordsmen, not just small ones.
There are many knife players on this street, and the real big customers are still those famous and famous businessmen.
A big merchant can transport goods on official roads.
They have their own guards, but the ones they have cultivated are worth a lot.
They are willing to spend money to open official roads and train guards, so naturally there is no shortage of money to hire a group of swordsmen.
First, it can be strong, and second, if they really encounter thieves or monster attacks, do Brother Tang think they are willing to let the guards trained by their own heavy money fight for their lives, or use the knife hand hired with silver? ”
.........
There was a good knife in the mouth of the grass shed, and when Gu Ye had not yet met Pei Lun, he made a small statement in the hand of the knife at a young age.
Even if he doesn't enter the North Town Fusi, he will continue to stay in the Sword Hand Hall.
After so many years, it is also an expensive treasure knife.
Gu Ye knows the rules of the old business to hire swordsmen, compared to the scattered small businesses, when the merchant hires a few swordsmen to be brave, this kind of time-honored caravan has a greater demand for swordsmen.
The sword hand is the life that money buys.
The guards who have been trained with a lot of money, follow the caravan, and the guards are the masters, not the goods.
In the merchant family, people are often more valuable than goods.
The object of protection of these guards has always been the bloodline of the main family in the caravan.
........
"If you are worthy of the abacus beads, you are the chicken thief.
Brother Gu, since you asked me to be here, it seems that there is a way to get through to the business.
It's okay to go with the caravan, our destination is in Hangzhou, and we will take care of each other on the way. I haven't experienced the feeling of a merchant yet, and this time I mixed a bite of knife hand rice, which is also a novelty. ”
.......
is not from Ying Tianfu, Tang Jianren is still here to listen to Gu Ye's arrangement.
People are wearing brocade clothes, and they are afraid that they will not be able to be pitted.
The hot sheep porridge has been served, and Tang Jian is eating it by himself.
What should be made up still has to be made up, and while eating porridge and soup hard, Tang Jianren didn't pay too much attention to the eyes around him.
Those who dare to share the table with a brocade guard are also not easy to mess with.
This kind of person does not provoke, does not touch the mold, and is less unlucky.
..........
There are a few of these swordsmen in the old commercial street who have good kung fu.
But there are few existences that are enlightened and mysterious, and they do not enter the eyes of the Tang Grand Prince.
The enlightened person is really reduced to eating the meal of the knife hand, I don't know how he is confused.
Taking advantage of the fact that Tang Dagongzi was concentrating on mending his waist, Gu Ye knocked on the bamboo table with his fingers, and after a few rhythmic sounds, there was a fat old man in green clothes and crane hair on the old business street, and he walked towards them with a smile.
The chubby little old man had a jade ingots with a very moist head falling from his waist.
He doesn't have a lot of extravagance.
But the fat squinted eyes with a slit make people feel very sharp.
This is a fat but not honest little old man, hearing Gu Ye's knocking voice.
The little old man arched his hand, tried to move his buttocks, and squeezed on the two small bamboo benches.
.........
"Should Xiao Lao say that he hasn't seen him for a long time, or is it the first time we have met?
It's the first time I've seen Gu Daotou's face.......
I didn't expect you to be so ruthless with a knife, but under the mask is the face of a handsome young man.
When I heard that Gu Daotou washed his hands in a golden basin, Xiao Lao regretted it for several days.
The fastest knife at the entrance of the grass shed hall is a little boy, and he is still the master of the brocade clothes of the Fusi of Beizhen, who will believe such a thing.
Gu Daotou contacted Xiao Lao through a secret letter, could it be that he wanted to reappear in the rivers and lakes? ”
.........
The chubby little old man occupied a corner of the table with some crowding.
He looked at Gu Ye's eyes, a little fiery.
This young swordsman is the most potential knife he has ever seen.
Looking at the chubby old man who was about to sit on the bamboo bench, the vendor at the morning tea stall did not have any objections.
He silently retreated into the corner, for fear of interfering with the conversation.
Early in the morning, a young man in brocade clothes came to the stall, and there was another gentleman dressed in rouge.
Now it's even more amazing, this chubby little old man doesn't look good, but what is imprinted on his jade ingot is a family crest composed of a small gold basin and copper coins.
This is Ying Tianfu, the signboard of the treasure number.
The treasure is a small business, and the things it deals in are also miscellaneous, but the flag of the treasure is embroidered with the emblem of the cornucopia.
The owner of the Jubao is surnamed Shen.
Behind this business name is the Shen family of Ying Tianfu.
The old owner of the Shen family is known as Shen Bancheng.
Ying Tianfu's major businessmen, whose business is not mixed with the Shen family?
The fat old man of the Treasure is named Zheng San.
It is said that he followed the Shen family for half his life, and was later given the surname Shen, Shen San, and the elder of the Shen family. As the elder of the Shen family, he is now in charge of business trading in the treasure number, and who is behind it, no one with a discerning eye can guess.
........
Shen San's treasure number had cooperated with Gu Ye in the early years.
When Gu Ye was doing knife hands, he used a mask to cover his face.
For this young swordsman who wore a ghost face and had fast and ruthless knife skills, Shen San was moved by his love for talent the first time he hired him. wanted to recruit Gu Ye into the treasure number and become a private guard, but he didn't succeed.
Gu Ye's use as a knife hand is also limited to Ying Tianfu.
He would not travel with the caravan, which made Shen San regretful.
This young knife hand has just made a name for himself in the grass hut.
Afterwards, he disappeared, and only occasionally came out to do odd jobs. Yesterday, he received a secret letter from Gu Ye to contact the Treasure No. 1, and Shen San still remembered the young swordsman who was like a lone wolf.
It just so happens that Jubao is now in need of a good player.
Ordinary knife hands, he can't look at them.
Gu Ye took the initiative to send a good knife to the door, Shen San encountered it, of course he had to hold it tightly.
