"How about forty taels and one horses, tell Boss Shen the truth, I still need more horses in the future, and I will buy them directly from Boss Shen when the time comes."

Shen Chongshan heard that Zhou Xian needed more horses in the future, and immediately asked happily: "I don't know how many horses Lord Zhou needs in total?" ”

"I need at least a thousand horses in the future, I don't know if Boss Shen can find so many horses."

Shen Chongshan was shocked when he heard this, is the thousands of horses going to rebel?

He lowered his voice and said, "I wonder what is the use of Lord Zhou buying so many horses?" ”

"Boss Shen doesn't have to worry too much, we are a caravan and need a lot of horses to pull goods."

Shen Chongshan said with a look of surprise: "I see, I can also get thousands of horses, I don't know when Lord Zhou will need these horses?" ”

"I'm going to go to the capital now, and I'll be back in about half a month, I don't know if you can find all these horses, of course, all I need are good horses like yours now, I don't want ordinary horses."

Shen Chongshan thought for a while and said: "Half a month, I can find it, but I need Lord Zhou to pay a deposit first, although Lord Zhou is relieved of my Shen Chongshan's character, you ask who doesn't know me Shen Chongshan in this horse market, my family lives in the south of Shanxi Province." ”

Zhou Xian nodded and said: "The deposit is naturally okay, how about a deposit of one thousand taels of silver for one horse?" ”

Shen Chongshan said: "According to Lord Zhou's 1,000 taels of deposit, there are still 40 horses here, and a horse is 40 taels for a total of 1,600 taels." ”

Zhou Xian also agreed, and then he and Shen Chongshan found someone to write the paperwork and signed it separately.

After giving Shen Chongshan 2,600 taels of silver tickets, Zhou Xian asked the soldiers to leave the horse market with forty horses.

After leading the horse to the inn, Zhou Xian brought Xiang Shaoyun and Sun Wu and several battalion commanders, company commanders, platoon commanders, and squad leaders over.

Let each of them choose a horse, and it will be more convenient for them to command the soldiers.

After resting in Shanxi Mansion for two days, Zhou Xian and the others continued to set off.

I don't know if it's Zhou Xian's bad luck or the luck of the bandits, from Shanxi to Jinan in the past few days, I haven't encountered a single bandit.

Zhou Xian, who wanted to continue to exterminate the bandits and seize the gold, silver and jewelry, was very depressed.

Jinan is the capital of Shandong, and Jinan is a big city with a population of more than 400,000.

People came and went at the gate of the city, and there were long queues to enter the city, many of which were caravans, and Zhou Xian and others also joined the team.

Soon it was Zhou Xian's turn and the others, and the officers and soldiers guarding the door asked, "Where are you from?" ”

Xiang Shaoyun stepped forward and replied: "We are a caravan from Datong Mansion, and we hope that the eldest brother of the officers and soldiers will be accommodating." ”

As he spoke, he took out five taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the officer and soldier guarding the door.

After receiving the silver, the officers and soldiers said happily: "It turned out to be a caravan from Datong Mansion, you can go in." ”

Xiang Shaoyun arched his hand at the officers and soldiers, and walked towards the city with Zhou Xian first, and the caravan behind him also walked in.

Zhou Xian looked at this prosperous street and suddenly had an idea in his heart.

Zhou Xian said to Xiang Shaoyun: "Let's buy a house and a shop in this Jinan City, and leave some people here to sell our goods in the future. ”

Xiang Shaoyun also said approvingly: "Selling our goods here, the sales should be very good." ”

With an idea, Zhou Xian took someone to live in an inn first.

Let Xiang Shaoyun inquire where there are houses and shops for sale.

Soon, Xiang Shaoyun bought a shop and a big mansion for 15,000 taels of silver.

The shop is on a busy street, and the house is in the middle of nowhere.

The house is very large, covering an area of more than ten acres, and it is the mansion of a wealthy merchant in the past, and the rich merchant has gone to live in Jiangnan, so it can be sold for only 5,000 taels.

With his own house, Zhou Xian took everyone to live in his own house that day.

Looking at this antique house, there is a large circle of walls outside, Zhou Xian is very satisfied.

Zhou Xian said to Xiang Shaoyun: "In the future, this will be used as a branch of our Zhou family army in Jinan City, and a platoon of soldiers will be arranged to live in charge of collecting intelligence." ”

Xiang Shaoyun said: "Okay, I'll arrange it later, my lord, what do we want to sell in our shop?" ”

Zhou Xian said: "We left two boxes of soap and soap, and then left a box of perfume and a box of mirrors, our main purpose this time is to go to the capital to open the market, find merchants to represent our goods, what is missing here can be brought from Monkey Mountain Village is very convenient." ”

After resting in Jinan for three days, Zhou Xian continued to set off with the goods.

This time it is a bit long to go directly to the capital, and it will take about ten days.

Zhou Xian didn't like to ride a horse and sat in the carriage to sleep, but Xiang Shaoyun and Sun Wu and other officers still insisted on riding horses, they had to get used to riding horses to prepare for future commands.

On the way, they encountered two small groups of bandits, and before Zhou Xian could see them, they had already been wiped out by the company exploring the road in front.

After more than ten days of bumpy carriages, Zhou Xian and others finally came to the capital.

Looking at the Dongzhimen in the distance, Zhou Xian was full of emotion, since the thieves were dispersed, the capital has gradually begun to return to its former prosperity.

Chongzhen learned from the pain and began to work hard.

……

Zhou Xian entered Beijing secretly this time, so he made some disguises.

In order not to cause a sensation, he took Xiang Shaoyun and a few others like traders, and did not return to the Zhou Mansion in the capital, but found an inn where merchants gathered.

It was already afternoon when Zhou Xian and the others walked out of Jiusheng Building.

Zhou Xian couldn't drink enough, and he was a little dizzy after drinking three glasses.

Xiang Shaoyun and Zhang Dabiao helped Zhou Xian back to the inn, and Zhou Xian said to Xiang Shaoyun before returning to the room to sleep: "Shaoyun, you remember to buy a mansion and a shop." ”

Xiang Shaoyun said yes and exited the room, leaving Zhang Dabiao to stay outside the door.

Xiang Shaoyun led the two soldiers out to find the mansion and shop.

The mansions and shops in this capital are really expensive, a small shop actually costs 50,000 taels of silver, and the mansion also needs 30,000 taels.

Xiang Shaoyun didn't dare to make the decision, so he went back to the inn to ask Zhou Xian, and when he arrived at the inn, he found that Zhou Xian was still sleeping, and Xiang Shaoyun didn't dare to disturb, so he chatted with Sun Wu in the next room and waited for Zhou Xian to wake up.

Xiang Shaoyun told Sun Wu what he said in the restaurant today, and Sun Wu was also shocked.

After listening to it, he also expressed his enthusiasm and swore to follow the adult.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, Zhou Xian woke up, and his head was still a little groggy.

The amount of alcohol in my body is really not very good, and I got drunk after two or three drinks.

Hearing that Zhou Xian was up, Zhang Dabiao opened the door and said, "My lord, you are awake, Xiang Shaoyun has been waiting for you next door for a long time, do you want to call him over." ”

As soon as Zhou Xian heard that Xiang Shaoyun was waiting for him, he immediately said: "Let him come over, it should be for the sake of buying a mansion and a shop." ”

Zhang Dabiao said yes and walked out, and soon Xiang Shaoyun walked in.

As soon as Xiang Shaoyun entered the door, he said: "My lord, the mansions and shops in this capital are too expensive, a shop actually costs 50,000 taels of silver, and a small mansion also costs 30,000 taels of silver, what do you think?" ”

Zhou Xian nodded and said: "Since you plan to do business and establish a branch in the capital, don't be afraid to spend money, buy it, our goods will be sold in the future, this money is nothing, the most important thing for us now is to let the big merchants in the capital know our goods, so that they can come to us to buy goods." ”

Xiang Shaoyun nodded and agreed after receiving Zhou Xian's instructions: "Okay, I will take the silver to buy the shop and mansion tomorrow." ”
