At sunrise, it can be said that there are hundreds of boats competing for the river at the mouth of the Guanjiang River, you chase after me, a prosperous and lively scene, because of the reason for the proximity to the place where the river converges, it seems so full of popularity compared with the desert outside the desert.

The speed of the barge is also gradually slowing down, driving a boat is different from riding a horse, encountering complex road conditions, riding a horse only needs to be gently strangled with the reins, but driving a boat requires more than a dozen or even dozens of people to work together.

The barge was docked on a wharf, and Shen Jinan and the others had one day to get off the boat and go around the mouth of the Guanjiang River, which was also the habit of barges

Because the barge is too large, there are many inconveniences in the daytime when there are many ships, and the need to replenish supplies in the ship, etc., so I gradually developed such a habit, and I took a little rest in the middle of the way, which can be regarded as sharpening the knife and cutting wood.

Shen Jinan stood on the deck, looked at Lu Jiangnan standing next to him, and then said: "Guanjiangkou is the place of the wharf, and there has been a slogan for breaking the wharf since ancient times. Because the legend here is that it is the fief of Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun, because Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun split the mountain to save his mother and make a big fuss in heaven, and then it was divided here, which can be regarded as blessing the peace here. The mouth of the Guan River is also a place for passenger ships to rest and settle down, so there are extremely many merchants, and there are many things from all over the world. Now the two of us have finally spent some time alone, and there are not only powerful places here, but also monastic forums, so we can carefully select some. ”

Shen Jin'an was right, Tang Wuxin was always a little disdainful of that kind of lively environment, so he simply lay down in his cabin and slept.

Xiao Wuzi really wanted to come out and have a look, but because of seasickness, let alone getting off the boat, it was a little difficult to get off the kang, and Shen Jinan had to agree to Xiao Wuzi to buy some delicious northern meals on the side of the road to improve his food.

Shen Jin'an, who originally thought that Lu Jiangnan would refuse, guessed completely wrong.

Lu Jiangnan not only did not refuse, but said to Shen Jin'an: "This is what you said, since you have said so, I can't help but sell you this face, give it to me." ”

Shen Jinan didn't know why he said: "There are so many people watching in broad daylight, it's not suitable for you now." ”

Lu Jiangnan glanced at Shen Jinan and said, "Get out, I'm talking about silver." ”

This is the Shen Jin'an, who suddenly realized, said with a smile: "You didn't say it earlier, but almost all the scattered silver on my body has been spent, and you must know that renting this barge has cost me a lot of money." ”

"What do you mean?" Seeing that his request was refused, Lu Jiangnan said with a hint of unhappiness on his face.

Seeing this, Shen Jin'an hurriedly explained: "The scattered silver is gone, but I still have some family resources on me." ”

Shen Jin'an took out a silver ticket from his arms, and a line of large characters was densely written on it.

"Ten thousand taels of silver"

Seeing this silver ticket, Lu Jiangnan said indifferently: "Don't you say that you are the prince of Beiyan, and you will bring such a little silver with you when you go out?" It's really a little family. ”

Shen Jin'an said helplessly: "Ten thousand taels of silver is still less?" You have to know that the annual salary of a third-grade member in the Huayang Dynasty is only eight hundred taels, and I am already a proper rich second generation, okay. ”

Lu Jiangnan said with a straight face: "Is the whole silver ticket good to use here?" Aren't you kidding? ”

Shen Jin'an rolled his eyes and said: "The four major merchants in Huayang, the last one of the Jin merchants, Hui merchants, and Yan merchants is Shu merchants. These businesses all started by relying on large businesses, the mines of Jin merchants, the ink of Hui merchants, the horses of Yan merchants, and the embroidery of Shu merchants. Don't look at the simplicity of weaving, but Shu embroidery is a tribute to the royal family, and ordinary people can struggle to get it. The best Shu embroidery is known as an inch and a gold. If a ready-to-wear is good, a thousand taels of silver is simple, so this 10,000 taels of silver ticket is too much, and less is considered less. ”

Lu Jiangnan followed closely and said, "Look at what you mean, do you dislike it yourself?" ”

Shen Jin'an smiled: "If you want to say that this amount of money is just my expenses for two or three days, but since I went out, I have learned the truth that I don't know the price of firewood and rice." If you don't have any money on you, you can borrow it from me, and if you don't have any money, you can just give me two cents of interest every month. ”

"Then you're treacherous." Lu Jiangnan pouted and said, "You must know that the pawnshop outside is only one and a half cents of interest. Shen Jin'an didn't care at all and said: "Love to borrow or not, don't borrow and pull down." ”

Guanjiangkou, Tibetan treasure building.

It's early in the morning, and the sun is shining.

Outside the Treasure Building, more than 100 people dressed differently have already gathered here, and all kinds of sedan chairs next to them are varied, kicking up clouds of dust.

Guanjiangkou is crazy to say that a number of rare treasures have come to the treasure building, which can attract the love of many rich businessmen and nobles, you must know that the treasure building is one of the best auction places in Xishu. It is even rumored that as long as you have money, any rare treasure can be auctioned off. For a time, the entire Guanjiang estuary was covered with guests, just hoping to see those heirloom treasures at a glance.

The already lively Guan River Estuary is even more crowded at this moment, and the countless branches along the river are also sounding a piercing ape roar.

Guanjiang Estuary is surrounded by water on three sides, only one road leads to the mountain, this time in order to highlight the importance of the treasure building, the local government has already cleared out the surrounding idle people, leaving a magnificent road.

Although the small merchants and vendors who were rushing to buy vegetables next to him were dissatisfied, they had to break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs because of the powerful people. Zhumen wine and meat, there are bones on the road, which looks like a show.

When the horse team and sedan car team that kept gathering over stepped on the amazing steps, a scarlet and eye-catching Murong Huang flag was even more hunting, making the street, which was not particularly calm, reach its peak in an instant.

Clear-eyed people recognized that this was a yellow flag that only the royal family could use, and the only one who could use such a flag in the entire Western Shu was Murong Di, the prince of Western Shu.

More than a dozen war horses opened the road, and the yellow sedan chair carried by sixteen people walked slowly, and the ordinary people on both sides of the road also knelt down one after another, and the whole street could be said to be silent.

When the team carrying the yellow flag gradually left, the people on both sides looked at each other and felt relieved.

Not far from the kneeling line, two men stood straight.

The man was wearing a black robe, with a straight figure, like a tiger waiting for him, and the other man next to him was wearing a gorgeous Xishu decoration, looked up at the Xishu civilians who slowly got up, and smiled slightly.

Such a bold behavior of the two people naturally aroused the curiosity of the people next to them, and it was a great crime to disrespect the Murong family here.

But listening to the personal foreign accents of the two, they didn't take it to heart.

Guanjiangkou is the only way for Xishu to go to Chongdu, and even some old women who buy vegetables are very confident that they have seen a general or a few generals somewhere. Naturally, the rich who have some money are not very good.

Walking through the bustling crowd, the rich boy said with a quippy face: "If I hadn't seen you coming, I really didn't believe that you would be interested in such worldly things." ”

The man in Xuanyi put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "I just heard that there are some things that are rare to see this time, and I am very interested, but if it is very expensive, I am afraid that you will have to cover it for me." ”

The rich boy said softly: "This is not in the way, but when your Tang Sect's latest crossbow arrow is forged, remember to return it to me." “

The man in Xuanyi laughed inadvertently when he heard the rich man's words: "If you don't say that your Jiang family's business is strong, my new batch of repeating crossbow arrows has not yet been developed, you have already made a calculation, and you are too early to take precautions." “

The rich man said that there were almost tens of thousands of martial arts high-rollers who died in disputes every year in the Xishu martial arts, and among these tens of thousands of people, the one who died to six or seven was the secret weapon of the Tang Sect.

But having said that, the man in Xuanyi only made a joke about the rich man's thoughts, and he didn't say anything about it.

The rich man's surname is Jiang Tianshui, and he grew up in the heavy capital of Xishu since he was a child, and there was a general in the ancestors of the Jiang family. It is regarded as his own by the former prime minister of the Xishu Dynasty, Wuhou, but because the ancestors of the former dynasty were weak and powerless, they opened the door and surrendered to the field in a rage, and since then they have begun to do business, after several generations, more than half of the money in Xishu has been returned to the Jiang family, and Jiang Tianshui has been studious since childhood, proficient in the way of Fan Li, and is known as the future head of the Jiang family.

According to legend, this person is proficient in yin and yang techniques, and he also understands Qimen Dunjia. In the early years, Murong Di, the king of Western Shu, tried his best to recruit him under his command, but Jiang Tianshui refused, and the reason for the refusal was because his ancestors had rules that he could not step into the official career.

Originally, according to this reason, he would end up with a Zhulian Nine Clan, but the final result was a surprise to everyone in Xishu, Jiang Tianshui not only did not end up in prison, but was also exempted from taxes for three years by Mu Rongdi, the king of Xishu.

However, Jiang Tianshui also started at that time, rarely appeared in front of everyone, and even delegated all the major affairs of the Jiang family to outsiders, and then walked alone in the rivers and lakes, and the dragon saw the beginning and the end.

appeared at the mouth of the Guan River today, just to rush to the Zangzhen Building with Tang Yunlong, the current young master of the Tang Gate.

The dragon is looking for the dragon, the phoenix is looking for the phoenix, and being able to play with Jiang Tianshui is naturally not a good stubble, it is also a young fame, and it is also a bad luck, Tang Yunlong's experience is much simpler.

The Tang Sect recruits thousands of people every year, but there are only a few hundred people who can really get the attention of the sect, and among these hundreds of people, only a dozen people can enter the inner door of the Tang family. Because Tang Yunlong's identity is only a concubine, and his status in the Tang Sect is not high, fortunately, Tang Yunlong's outstanding achievements in the Tang Sect have won the support of many new generation disciples of the Tang Sect, so he serves as an outer sect master.

Jiang Yunlong, who looked like a rich man, put his hands in his cuffs, walked leisurely on the street, and said with a smile: "I heard that there are a lot of rare items in the Treasure Pavilion this time, what if there is a deviation?" ”

Tang Wuxin said arrogantly: "I'm afraid that my Xishu Tang Gate is bound to win." “
