After Shopkeeper Zhao and Liu Ba finished talking about the discovery of the guys, Liu Ba was also very excited.

Finally found a breakthrough in the abnormal profits of the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Liu Ba did not immediately go back to Cheng Mansion to report the situation to Cheng Yu, but waited patiently.

That night, another guy who was sent by Zhao's shopkeeper to follow the other two business house owners also returned to the Yecheng branch.

"Lord Liu, Zhao, Zhao's shopkeeper ......"

The guy panted and saluted Liu Ba and Zhao's shopkeeper.

Liu Ba and Zhao saw that the guy was covered in grass clippings and leaves, and his shoes were also covered with mud.

Shopkeeper Zhao opened his mouth and interrupted the man's words:

"Sit down and rest, take a sip of tea, and don't be in a hurry to speak slowly."

Shopkeeper Zhao pulled the guy to sit down and personally poured a cup of tea for the guy.

The man drank the tea in one gulp, and gasped a few more times before he began to tell what he had seen and heard.

"I followed the two business owners out of the county seat. After that, they took them around several surrounding counties. ”

"But I found out that they only sold two things: water-powered looms and glass cups."

"Neither the wagons loaded with grain seeds nor iron farming implements have ever been unloaded!"

The man said this, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it dry.

Liu Ba and Shopkeeper Zhao also saw that the guys were more excited.

"Then I watched as their caravan left the county and began to walk in the direction of the border, but not on the main road."

"I've never heard of the path the caravan took before, and the caravan guards were very alert, and the sound of me accidentally slipping behind caught their attention."

"Fortunately, I can learn how to bark a little wild boar, or I will really explain it there!"

The guy said this, his heart was still full of fear.

Liu Ba and Shopkeeper Zhao also comforted the guy:

"Xiao Li don't worry, you don't have to worry about anything when you return to the Youzhou branch!"

"Xiao Li, I'll give you an extra ten taels of silver this month!"

When the guy known as Xiao Li heard that he still had ten taels of silver to take, and the person had returned to the Youzhou branch, his trembling legs finally stopped shaking.

Then Xiao Li continued:

"I followed the caravan out of the border along the path, and the caravan finally handed over the goods to a group of Xianbei knights waiting outside the border!"

"And they also said that they would continue to trade here in three days, and that the more iron farming tools, the better!"

It took exactly three days to mobilize grain seeds and iron farming tools from Bingzhou to Youzhou!

At the beginning, I heard the guy who came back from the first place say that he would trade in three days, and Liu Ba and the shopkeeper Zhao didn't care about it, but this guy Xiao Li also said the same thing, and they finally reacted:

Xianbei people are also familiar with the transfer time of the Youzhou branch!

Now Liu Ba and Zhao's shopkeeper have confirmed that more than one group of business house owners in Youzhou have transactions with Xianbei people.

"Xiao Li, how many Xianbei cavalry are there who came to trade?"

"About ten people!"

"Okay, thank you Xiao Li, go home and rest."

Liu Ba also confirmed the number of Xianbei cavalry.

Another point that Liu Ba wants to confirm now is that in addition to these two groups of Youzhou merchants, how many business house owners are trading with Xianbei people.

Because at present, according to the calculations of Liu Ba and Zhao's shopkeepers, the grain seeds and iron farming tools purchased by these four business house owners who traded with the Xianbei people only accounted for one-third of the daily increase.

There are also business house owners who secretly trade with Xianbei people after purchasing grain seeds and iron farm tools from the Youzhou Branch!

"Shopkeeper Zhao, you can't let the branch guys follow these business house bosses who trade with the Xianbei people, it's too dangerous for the branch guys!"

Liu Ba said in a deep voice to Shopkeeper Zhao, the previous buddy Xiao Li has been taken home by Shopkeeper Zhao for two days off to rest.

Shopkeeper Zhao also nodded frequently after hearing Liu Ba's words.

The two guys sent out this time are already the two most daring and careful among all the guys in the Youzhou branch.

That's it, they almost broke one outside.

"Tomorrow morning, I will go to Lord Cheng's mansion again, and ask Lord Cheng to send scouts from the army to follow him."

"Okay, that's it!"

After Liu Ba and Shopkeeper Zhao decided on this matter, Liu Ba first went to the third floor of the Chamber of Commerce to rest.

Shopkeeper Zhao continued to check the accounts of the Youzhou branch today, and made special marks for all the business bank owners who bought grain seeds and iron farming tools in large quantities.

Previously, only the four most suspicious business house owners were tracked because the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce lacked manpower.

This time, with the help of Cheng Yu's scouts in the army, he can wipe out all these business bank bosses who eat inside and out.

Then I have to teach a hard lesson to those Xianbei cavalry who used the Youzhou Branch!

Early the next morning.

Liu Ba, who got up early, directly asked the chamber of commerce to prepare a carriage for him to go to Chengfu after breakfast.

After Liu Ba came to Cheng's mansion, the guards at the door took him directly to Cheng Yu's study.

"Zichu, please take a seat, the texture of the cloth you brought before is very good, but the cotton cloth sent from Hanzhong?"

After Cheng Yu saw Liu Ba, he mentioned the gift that Liu Ba sent last time.

Liu Ba also remembered at this time that he had sent two cotton cloths to Cheng Yu last time.

"Lord Huicheng, the gift I gave you last time was the latest cotton cloth woven in Hanzhong."

After Liu Ba finished speaking, Cheng Yu's face showed a look that was really like this.

When Cheng Yu and Cao Cao went to Lin Chuan's Hanzhong Hou Mansion before, they were taken by Lin Chuan to visit the cotton experimental field of the Hou Mansion.

"I didn't expect this cotton cloth to be so soft and delicate, it seems that what Hanzhong Hou said back then is true!"

After Cheng Yu sighed, he remembered Lin Chuan's description of cotton cloth when he visited the experimental field with Lin Chuan.

"I don't know if this cotton clothes and quilts have begun to be produced in Hanzhong now?"

Cheng Yu, who remembered what Lin Chuan said about cotton clothes and quilts, asked Liu Ba.

"Master Cheng, the water-powered loom factory in Hanzhong has not yet produced cotton clothes and quilts."

"Because the Hou of Hanzhong now plans to promote cotton cloth throughout the Great Wei Dynasty at the same time, the Hanzhong Hydraulic Textile Machine Factory is now weaving cotton cloth with all its might."

After listening to Liu Ba's reply, Cheng Yu nodded and said:

"I see, I still thought that if there were cotton clothes and quilts, the army would definitely purchase some soldiers for the border guards."

Then Cheng Yu remembered and asked Liu Ba what was the matter with him this time.

"Zichu, when you come to me this time, don't you already know which business house bosses are trading with Xianbei people?"

"Lord Huicheng, the guys sent by the Youzhou branch to follow the four business house owners came back yesterday to report the situation."

Liu Ba began to get to the point, and Cheng Yu was also very concerned.

So Cheng Yu then asked:

"But where the deal was found?"

"Not bad! Risking their lives, the two branch guys finally discovered the location and evidence of the transaction between the owner of the Youzhou Commercial Bank and the Xianbei cavalry! ”

Liu Ba gave the answer Cheng Yu wanted.
