Chapter 137: Settle In
"Yes, it's finally here......" Dong Zhuo was also a little excited in his heart, when he didn't see him before, he was buried in the fat powder pile all day long, and he didn't feel how he missed Zhen Jiang, but now he was only a city away, and his heart missed more and more, no matter what, he was not the real forty-year-old Dong Zhuo after all, and the ideology of later generations made him think that although he could not be said to be single-minded about women, he would not use women as a fertility tool after all.
The convoy is not big, only a few cars are loaded with goods, and only Xu Chu and Xu Huang are two sturdy people who are used as guards, it seems that Zhang Liao stooped down to be a coachman, although Dong Zhuo is sitting in a carriage, but the dilapidated canopy and few goods, all let passers-by understand, this is definitely not a rich businessman.
Think about it, the Han Dynasty is declining, and the people who suffer the most are the people and merchants, Shinong and industrialists, in the years of war and chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, it can be said that in addition to the scholars, where will there be excess wealth? Even if they are big businesses such as the Zhen family and the Mi family, how can they be pure merchants?
The dress up of Dong Zhuo and his party is just right to dispel the doubts of others, who would be willing to sell goods in the cold winter if they are a little rich?
"Let's go, let's go into the city, now that we've reached Wuji, don't quarrel with anyone anymore." After sighing for a while, Dong Zhuo immediately spoke up, and said to several people as he spoke.
"Driver......" The few people nodded, and then drove forward.
Sitting back in the carriage, Dong Zhuo was silent, and Zhen Jiang's shadow kept flashing in his mind, making him smile a little bit on his face.
"Stop, who are you? What are you doing in town? At the city gate, a small colonel guarding the city gate saw Dong Zhuo and his party slowly approaching, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately strode to the center of the city gate and shouted loudly.
November is about to finish, there are fewer and fewer people who still go out, and there are fewer and fewer people who can let them exploit, the people are poor, even if they are stripped away, there will be no oil and water, but the caravan is different, even if it is small, the oil and water caught are enough for him to have a good year.
"Master Jun, the little ones are from Bingzhou, and they brought some goods to sell, I have long heard that the Wuji Zhen family is a big businessman, and the small ones want to try it, can they sell the goods, these years are not good, and it is becoming more and more difficult for us to make a living, and I ask the military master to take care of it." On the carriage, before the carriage could stop, a man jumped from it, and as he spoke, he stuffed a large amount of five baht coins into the sleeve of the schoolmaster's coat without a trace.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, although the coins have been depreciating, but at this time there has not been Dong Zhuo's own money, the five-baht money is still the mainstream of the life of the people at the bottom, and the coin is flooded in history, or after Dong Zhuo made money, the economic system at the end of the Han Dynasty began to collapse.
It was also Chen Zhi who was careful, knowing that Dong Zhuo and his party had no one to understand the affairs of the caravan, so he found a person in Jinyang City, and after imprisoning his family members, Xu used gold and silver as a steward to talk to people, and he never showed the slightest hint of hindrance in dealing with people along the way, and it was really thanks to him.
Carefully checked the weight in his sleeves, Xiao Xiaoxiao's face suddenly turned into a flower, he was very satisfied with Dong Zhuo's "upper way", looked around and stretched out his hand to pull the person in front of him aside, and then said in a low voice: "I see that you are a good person, so I will tell you, this Zhen family is a big businessman, they can't look down on ordinary objects at all, and the Zhen family has its own caravan of goods, and there are people walking for goods from all over the world, if you want to sell it at a good price, I advise you to keep the goods, wait until early tomorrow morning, and take them to Jinxian County, which is not far to the south." ”
The steward was stunned for a moment, and then secretly sighed that this person is good, you know, along the way, the large and small cities they passed, not twenty, but also more than a dozen, all the way down, and only this person spoke to remind him, but unfortunately, he is not really a businessman, although he does not know much, but he also understands that Wuji is the ultimate goal of their line.
"Thank you Jun Ye for reminding me, Jun Ye also knows that this road is really dangerous now, and the little one will send a guy to the south tomorrow to explore the market, if it is not much different, you can only make a move here, and please forgive me." The steward pretended to be embarrassed and hesitated to explain.
"Believe it or not, I'm just reminded you that you're good, it's not too early, you can go into the city." was refuted, Xiao Xiaoxiao's face couldn't help but be a little unbearable, but thinking about the money in the cuffs, he didn't bother to care about it, and turned to the side after saying a word impatiently.
"Let's go, let's go into town." From the steward's eyes, Dong Zhuo nodded and said.
The wheels rolled, creaking and creaking into the city.
In the city, there is no prosperity in Luoyang, there is no grace in Chang'an, the flow of people on the streets that are not very wide is not very thin, and more importantly, the faces of the people here are not as lifeless as the places where Dong Zhuo passed before.
Not long after walking, someone greeted them, and after a few inquiries, the group soon came to the place that had already been decided.
"What's going on in Infinite City? What about Jizhou? As soon as he sat down, Dong Zhuo asked with some eagerness.
In Wuji City, the three special teams under Dong Zhuo had already sent people to arrive here in advance, and Dong Zhuo naturally did not dare to be careless in terms of safety.
"Back to the lord, the Zhen family is dominant in Wuji City, especially after Zhen Ji put porridge, it is supported by the people, and his subordinates are here, and they have not yet noticed the eyeliner of other people, but not long ago, Han Fu came forward to ask for his son to kiss the Zhen family's daughter, and after the Zhen family refused, he turned to ask for the second daughter, and now the Zhen family has not given an answer." It was the leader of the Shadow Guard faction who spoke. Long before Dong Zhuo left Chang'an, Jia Xu had sent someone to come in advance, thinking that Dong Zhuo had found out the news.
"Alright, let's go down first, be careful." Dong Zhuo listened to the silence, and couldn't help but think of Zhen Jiang again, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and after asking some more things, he waved his hand to let him retreat, and turned to look at the steward who followed him, trembling and hiding in the corner: "Early tomorrow morning, you send two people out of the city to Jin County, so as not to arouse suspicion." ”
"Yes, little one...... The little one understands. The steward was already a little frightened at this time, and the more he knew, the more frightened he became, and the scene he saw now was obviously not what he should have seen, and he trembled so much that he began to tremble even when he spoke.
Dong Zhuo didn't pay much attention to him, although he didn't mean to harm anyone, he never thought that he would let this person go after this trip, and it was the best choice to bring his family to Yongliang, so he was not afraid of what he knew, and turned to the other people around him: "Let's all go and rest, Zhongkang, Gongming, wait until the evening when you accompany me to Zhen's Mansion, Wenyuan, everything here will be temporarily handed over to you to be in charge." ”
