In the Han Dynasty, every city required a 'festival' as a proof document.

For example, wild monks like Zhang Xuezhou are of unknown origin, and they will be blocked when they pass through the city checkpoint normally.

But there is no such problem with running with Dong Zhongshu and others, and even Dong Zhongshu has been busy making arrangements for customs clearance in the past two days.

Zhang Xuezhou's 'festival' is a trivial matter, and Dong Zhongshu went to the Northern Military Region without court documents to be a big trouble.

This led to Dong Zhongshu mixing with Wen Weng to study countermeasures for the past few days, but Haoran Zhengqi never studied it.

Compared with Dong Zhongshu's melancholy, urgency, and worry, Zhang Xuezhou's mood is very good.

He practiced the realm technique every day, and did some evasion practice, in addition, Zhang Xuezhou ran to Wang Ermazi's pharmacy to see the situation if he was fine.

It takes three to five days to go up the mountain to collect medicine at the earliest, and it is normal to spend ten days and a half months, Zhang Xuezhou feels that it is very likely that he will be able to gather all the medicinal materials after returning to reality.

"Doctor Wang, can't you transfer the goods?"

Zhang Xuezhou occasionally asks.

"What is a transfer?"

But Wang Ermazi's response made Zhang Xuezhou speechless.

Zhang Xuezhou had limited knowledge of the major cities in the Han Dynasty, but as he continued to come into contact, Zhang Xuezhou found that the city's commercial development was even worse than he had imagined.

If you don't spend money to buy things, Zhang Xuezhou won't feel much.

But it is precisely because he paid the money that it takes at least seven days to wait for the goods to arrive, which makes Zhang Xuezhou feel that the efficiency is too slow.

"Nowadays, there are only merchants and merchants, how can there be the kind of transfer you said" Wang Er Mazi said: "The medicinal materials you bought here are a lot of luck, if there is no old man Zhao to spend money and make a guarantee for everyone to go up the mountain to collect medicine, it will take at least a month to get together the medicinal materials of your five yuan." ”

"What is it like to be a merchant and a merchant?"

Unless it is to take the spot, no matter where Zhang Xuezhou places the order, it is no different from Wang Er Mazi, and even some pharmacies will temporarily increase the price due to the large demand and the time required.

After listening to Wang Ermazi's explanation, Zhang Xuezhou understood how to buy things in the future.

He was interested in asking some miscellaneous questions.

"Merchants and merchants are all selling goods from the ground, there are sellers who carry the burden of goods on their shoulders, and there are also merchants who take carriages to carry goods around to do business, these people know where there is a shortage of goods, and they sell at a high price" Wang Er Mazi said: "But I don't envy these people, these people are making money with their heads, even if they are happy when they meet road bandits, it is common to lose their heads!" ”

"Can these 'festivals' of merchants and merchants pass around?" Zhang Xuezhou asked with interest.

"As long as they are willing to spend money, they don't have the same 'festival'" Wang Er Mazi replied: "They earn a lot, and they are willing to spend money, and the soldiers who defend the city receive money, and after inspecting the goods, they all turn a blind eye." ”

"Rich is good!"

"What's more important is that they brought fresh goods, maybe any big family in the city is in need, if you don't let them enter the city, wouldn't it be easy to offend people" Wang Er Mazi said in a low voice: "If you have money to collect and don't offend people, everyone has to let it go!" ”

"That makes sense!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

Zhang Xuezhou had also run the business group in the past, but as soon as he entered the customs, he was taken by Zhang Qian to invite credit.

This led to Zhang Xuezhou's partial incompleteness in social cognition.

It wasn't until Wang Ermazi whispered that Zhang Xuezhou understood a rough idea.

According to Dong Zhongshu's current situation, if he can't enter the Northern Military Region through official channels, this may be one of the few choices for Dong Zhongshu and others at the moment.

After some daily wandering, Zhang Xuezhou returned to the county guard mansion leisurely.

"Brother Zhang, Lord County and Dr. Dong are looking for you!"

Zhang Shu in the county guard mansion hurriedly came out, and happened to collide with Zhang Xuezhou.

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou, Zhang Shu's legs that wanted to step out of the gate of the county guard mansion were immediately retracted.

"This is the time to go?" Zhang Xuezhou was surprised: "But our medicinal materials haven't arrived yet!" ”

"I don't know," Zhang Shu shook his head and said, "But in terms of time, it should be about the same." ”

"Then I have to take the medicine before leaving, I finally paid five times!"

Zhang Xuezhou thought about the Bigusan materials bought with five money, and then thought about Rongcheng.

This makes it easy for him to make a choice.

If he wants to be deprived of medicinal materials, Zhang Xuezhou feels that he will not live long.

If Dong Zhongshu was about to set off, he would have to go on the road alone.

Knowing about business, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he could finally get to Rongcheng by picking a load of goods or buying a carriage to walk slowly.

"Speaking of money, Brother Zhang, take a look at ......"

Zhang Shu touched his waist bag, and then handed out a purse, the heavy burlap bag was full of weight.

"You let my sword wound heal, so I didn't fall into the fate of Zhao Junwei, and I don't mean to be respectful!"

Zhang Xuezhou and the others were about to leave Shu County, and Zhang Shu couldn't delay any longer.

Knowing the trouble caused by the lack of Zhao Liang as a public figure in the Zhao family, Zhang Shu knew very well that there was no difference after his accident.

He originally wanted to hold a thank-you banquet, but Zhao Liang never recovered from his injuries, and his wedding banquet could easily induce sarcasm and even fall into the ground.

This turned the thank-you banquet into a private thank-you gift.

This hasty thank-you behavior made Zhang Shu a little ashamed, but it was difficult for him to come up with other etiquette that met the specifications.

"You're not small!"

Zhang Xuezhou took the purse purse, glanced at it, and saw that the purse was full of half a tael of fine condition, which made him feel a little embarrassed, and strengthened the concept of saving lives and helping the wounded.

"It's just a passing thing!"

Zhang Shu smiled bitterly.

Money that is difficult to find for the bottom is a gold and iron thing that is difficult for large families like them to spend.

This may be an exaggeration, but it is true.

What the Zhang family lacks is difficult to buy with money, and the Zhang family is rarely lacking in other aspects, and rarely needs all kinds of mundane things outside.

This is due to the underdevelopment of commerce, and the difficulty of ordinary people in owning the things that large families need.

"If Brother Zhang needs half a tael, as long as there are pills, realm techniques, and martial arts that martial artists need, you can open the price, everything is negotiable," Zhang Shu said in a low voice.

"Understood!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

He seems to understand a little bit about the lack of these high-ranking families.

It's not just Dong Zhongshu who lacks the things to break through the realm, but other cultivators also lack it.

Moreover, a large family like the Zhang family still lacks a rigorous cultivation inheritance, but it is difficult for the Zhang family to take the route of fame in the imperial court, and the county lieutenant may be the current limit of the Zhang family and other families.

The cultivation inheritance of the county guard mansion is limited, and it is far from being able to reach the level of the imperial court.

This also leads to the fact that these high-ranking families have money and no place to spend it, and they can't exchange the money for the things of the cultivation inheritance.

In Zhang Xuezhou, it seems that there are a lot of techniques, but for Zhang Shu and others, this is something that cannot be sought.

Zhang Shu is a rich man in the normal sense, while Zhang Xuezhou is a rich man in another sense.

Thinking about the difference, Zhang Xuezhou realized that he was not poor.
