Jiang Chuan stood there stunned, and the words "do you want to make more money" kept echoing in his heart.

Qin Fen called him out when he was busy with things, and only then did he come to his senses. He approached Qin Fen, his face was full of laugh lines, and he flattered him: "Brother Qin is kind in his heart, and the villain is very grateful, if there is a chance to make money, he will definitely bring the villain a hand." ”

Qin Fen looked up and down, with a puzzled expression: "I don't think you look like a foolish person, and you are willing to work hard, why are you still living such a difficult life." ”

Jiang Chuan said: "I also studied when I was young, but later my parents contracted scabies, and the cost of treatment was very large, and I often couldn't make ends meet. I married a wife and had children early, and I couldn't go far away to take care of my family, so I could only rent acres of land and barely survive. As he spoke, he was depressed, and his voice became softer and softer.

Qin Fen patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, as if he was puzzled again, and asked: "Don't you hear that if you seek to be rich, agriculture is not as good as work, and industry is not as good as business." If you are in business with your endowment, you may not be able to get rich. ”

Jiang Chuan stomped his foot: "I've thought about it too, but without capital, I can't do anything." "I was depressed.

Qin Fen said: "Those who do business must have a flexible mind, be diligent in their hands and feet, and have some capital. I think you have the first two things, but you lack capital, so you can only make some coolie money. As he spoke, he stared at him, thought for a moment, took a deep breath, as if he had made some decision, and said: "In this way, the Qin family manor has been selling goods to Biansaiguan Market for trading, and every time I have to find some acquaintances and partners to do business." If you want, even if you partner up, I will be in charge, you don't have to pay the capital, and you have a share of the profits. How is it? ”

Jiang Chuan was stunned at first when he heard this, but when he came back to his senses, he was so excited that his breathing became short, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, willing." ”

Qin Fen hesitated a little again, and said: "However, from here to Shuofang or Wuyuan, Yunzhong Guan City, back and forth for at least twenty or thirty days, can you rest assured at home." ”

"Rest assured, rest assured. My parents are much better and can do some light work, so it doesn't hurt for me to go far away. Jiang Chuan was afraid that Qin Fen would change his fortune, and he didn't want to lose such an opportunity to change his fate.

Qin Fen said: "That's it, you go back and settle down at home." In a few days, there will be a caravan from the Qin family manor to Shuofang County, you will go together, be responsible for taking care of the loading and unloading, and when you arrive at the market, you will do business with me. ”

Jiang Chuan was so happy that he couldn't speak, so he nodded vigorously.

When he returned home, he recounted today's adventure.

Jiang Weng Jiang Yuan heard that she could share the profits without paying the capital, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and she also calculated how much money she could earn back by taking a trip.

Jiang Weng said: "The monthly salary of a helper can usually get 600 yuan, and if you go on this trip, you may get 1,000 yuan." ”

Jiang Yuan exclaimed: "If you can get the same money, you can almost buy an acre of land." ”

Only Dou Shi said lightly: "You still have to keep your duty, don't take advantage of others." ”

Jiang Chuan Zhengxing's head, when she said this, he was very impatient, and said: "It's really a woman's opinion." That's the opportunity, you know. ”

A few days later, Qin Fen really came to summon him, saying that the Qin family manor had organized a caravan to transport cloth and grain, and went to Guan City to exchange for cattle, sheep, and furs. Jiang Chuan followed.

The Qin family caravan went to Wuyuan County Guan City this time.

Wuyuan County is the eastern half of Jiuyuan County placed by Qin Shi Huang. This area is known as Beijiao and Henan in ancient books. In the second year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu invaded Yuyang and Shanggu, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the general Wei Qing to "go west of the clouds, to the highest level, and then to the south of the river, as for Longxi". The Han Dynasty took Qin Jiuyuan County as the hometown of Shuofang County and Wuyuan County, and after that, the northern border gradually became peaceful, and Wuyuan also opened the city of Guan. Wuyuan Junguan City is located outside Jiuyuan County on the side of the Great Wall at the foot of Yin Mountain.

When the caravan arrived at the pass, Qin Fen took out two pieces of silk with documents written on them and handed them to the customs officer, who glanced at it, left one piece, and handed the other back to Qin Fen, waving them in.

Qin Fen carefully folded and stuffed his sleeves, saw Jiang Chuan's curiosity, and said: "At this time, Fu Chuan, the certificate issued by the government to enter and exit the gate, and it must be verified when entering the customs, and the two are consistent before you can enter and exit." ”

The Qin caravan was carrying cloth and grain, and as soon as they entered the market, merchants from the north came to inquire.

The first time Jiang Chuan came to this city, he felt new when he looked at it.

At the northern end of the market are herds of cattle and sheep, as well as mules, donkeys and uncommon camels, as well as stacks of furs piled on carts. The Huns, Xianbei, Loulan, Qiang, and some deep-eyed, high-nosed, and bearded merchants from the Western Regions were shouting to solicit business, and their clothing was very different from that of the Han land.

To the south of the market is a large area of dining shacks, with Western Regions cooks grilling meat and naan, and the smoke curls and the aroma is overflowing.

Looking to the north, there is the Yinshan Mountain Range. The clear blue sky, the vast grassland, the mountains as deep as the daisies, and the drifting mist like silk wool constitute a magnificent scene.

Jiang Chuan's heart also waved, and he had not been calm for a long time.

Qin Fen patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are optimistic about these goods, I will go over to explore the market." Only then did he wake up and nodded his head in agreement.

Not long after, Qin Fen brought over a Loulan merchant and turned over the cloth on the car to show him. The two muttered for a while, Qin Fen took out another bag of something to show him, the man seemed to be very happy, the two smiled and hugged, and the man left.

Qin Fen looked at the man's back and said with a smile: "Okay, the deal is done." ”

Jiang Chuan was taken aback and said, "That's it?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Qin looked at him puzzled.

Jiang Chuan muttered, "I didn't expect it to be so easy to do business. ”

Qin Fen said with a smile: "The cloth and food we brought are all daily necessities, and they are easy to sell, and if we change some furs to go back, we will make a profit." ”

He mysteriously pulled Jiang Chuan aside and whispered: "The cloth and grain are all bought and sold by the Qin family's manor, and we will share some of the hard-earned money." I brought some of my own goods, and it was fifty percent profitable to sell them here. However, if it is a rare item, the profit is more than doubled. ”

"What a rarity." Jiang Chuan asked curiously. Qin Fen flickered his words and said a few words, but Jiang Chuan couldn't hear clearly.

Thirty days later, Jiang Chuan came back and stepped into the house, Jiang Weng Jiang Yuan was surprised and delighted, surrounded him and asked long and short questions, while Dou wiped his tears on the side.

Jiang Chuan was holding a jar of fish, meat, and wine, and motioned for Dou to take it. When everyone stopped, he sat down, smiling all over his face.

Jiang Yuan sat beside him, holding his hand and crying and laughing.

Jiang Weng said: "Chuan'er is back, you have to let him take a breath." ”

Jiang Yuan stood up at this time, saw the fish, meat and wine jars brought back by Jiang Chuan, and complained: "On a normal day, how can I buy such expensive wine and meat back." ”

Jiang Chuan said with a smile: "This meat costs seven cents a catty, this fish costs three cents a piece, and this wine costs ten cents a bucket, if it was before, I would have felt that it was very expensive." This time I came back and passed through Beishi, how could I think it was so cheap. ”

Jiang Yuan pointed at him and said, "If you have some money, you won't be able to live." He asked Dou, "Is that right?" ”

Dou's face was flushed, but he just smiled and didn't speak.

That night, the family was happy, Jiang Chuan told what he had seen and heard along the way, and everyone was amazed.

Jiang Weng took a sip of wine and said, "This wine is a little lighter." ”

Jiang Yuan pushed him and said, "I am not satisfied with the wine." ”

Jiang Chuan said with a smile: "This is wine, if you want to drink alcohol, fifty wen a bucket, wait for me to make money next time I buy it." ”

Jiang Yuan asked, "How much money did you earn this time?" ”

Jiang Chuan said triumphantly: "Guess." ”

Everyone didn't speak, they just looked at him. Egawa stretched out two fingers.

"Two thousand wen?" Jiang Weng exclaimed in surprise, and the wine in his hand also spilled. The family worked hard to plant the field for a year, but they got fifteen husk grains, which was worth two thousand yuan. Jiang Yuan's voice trembled when she spoke: "You can buy two acres of land, you can buy two acres of land." ”

Jiang Chuan said with regret: "If you have the capital to invest in shares, you will earn more." ”

Jiang Weng drank wine and said drunkly: "It's not easy to do business, and if you have capital, you may lose it." ”

Jiang Chuan turned his head and snorted, and said, "I haven't done it yet, so let's just say such a disappointing job." ”

Jiang Weng looked embarrassed, bowed his head and drank, Jiang Yuan didn't want him to be too risky, so he said: "If you go once, you will get back two thousand Wen, which is a lot." ”

Jiang Chuan disagreed, and indulged in reverie with wine.

On the second day, he invited Qin Fen to his home, saying that he was the benefactor of the Jiang family.

Although the room is simple, but also tidy, everyone sits on the ground, Dou put the wine and food into a piece of lacquer table, the first to hold in front of everyone, everyone toasts, and they are happy.

Qin Fen saw the Dou's jinghai cloth skirt, it was difficult to hide the beauty of the country, and sighed for a long time.
