Shi Geng covered his face, incredulous: "Dad, did you hit the wrong person?" Shi Gong scolded: "Bastard, it's you who hit it!" Do you know what kind of character Boss Song is? ”

He ...... He...... Isn't he just a businessman from another city? He...... He still wants to withdraw from his family," Shi Geng hated Song Che, and said aggrievedly: "Dad, second uncle, it's rare for me to take a fancy to a woman I like in my life——"

"How dare you say it!" Shi Gong is about to fight again.

"Boss Shi." Song Che stopped it with a loud voice,

"It's really my fault that the marriage contract is reversed, but fate has not arrived, and I can't force it, my sister is really not suitable for Ling Lang, and the twisted melon is not sweet." Shi Gongbao said with a smile: "Boss Song is very right, a small marriage contract will not matter if it is canceled. Song Che nodded, turned his back, and waved his hand slightly.

Shi Gong dragged Shi Geng and the servants out of the guest hall. When there was no one around, Shi Gong lowered his posture, held the gold post in both hands, and presented it to Song Che: "Xiaguan Shi Gong, please return the text," he paused and apologized: "My ignorant nephew is used to being arrogant on weekdays, and I will definitely discipline him strictly after I go down. "It seems that this document is better than the golden knife.

Song Che took the text and said lightly: "It's just some farce, I didn't take it to heart," he changed his words: "By the way, I happened to meet Master Shi, and Song happened to have something to know," he turned around and asked: "Jingzhao Mansion is the largest Gyeonggi Governance Office in the Northwest, so, Lord Shi and Xiliang Taishou Ma Wei, do you have any dealings?" Shi Gong's eyes were stunned, his eyes rolled twice, and he flashed with many thoughts, and finally replied: "Xiaguan is just the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion, who has always been in charge of the internal affairs of Gyeonggi, and Ma Taishou is a senior member of the frontier, I rarely have contact with him, but ...... Yin Huangxian of Jingzhao Mansion, Lord Huang and Ma Taishou are relatively familiar. ”

"How familiar are they?"

"This subordinate really doesn't know ......"

"Okay." Song Che nodded, didn't ask any more, and was about to leave.

"Boss Song." Shi Gong stopped him.

"How?"

"Can you give the lower officials a heads-up?" Shi Gong asked. Song Che didn't answer directly, but took out a booklet from his sleeve and handed it to Shi Gong,

"It won't be long before I open a money bank in Chang'an City, this booklet has the business category of the world's money bank, Master Shi can take it back and refer to Brother Ling, I am looking forward to the Shi family becoming the first big customer of the world bank." Shi Gong took the manual,

"Boss Song's business, the Shi family will definitely take care of it with all his might." Then he looked forward to Song Che. Song Che said softly: "Master Shi should remember these seven words-once a son of heaven and a courtier." Shi Gong reacted for a moment and bowed deeply: "Thank you Boss Song for your words." ”

"Today's conversation is only between you and me, and must not be known to outsiders."

"Remember."

"Song said goodbye." …… In the next half month, Tianxia Qian Zhuang successfully opened. Shi Jia became Song Che's first big customer as promised.

The Hope clan took the lead in taking care of the business, and the wealthy merchants in Chang'an City followed suit, depositing a large amount of gold and silver in the bank, and a large number of silver bills were issued.

The world's money is not simple

"Money makes money", it is a bridge to build a beam of commerce, from now on, businessmen from all over the world, only need to carry silver tickets and goods can be traded, integrity, safety and convenience.

Of course, silver stamps are not currency, they can only be circulated between banks, and cannot be used to buy goods or consume goods.

At present, the mainstream currency is still dominated by gold, silver and copper. Song Che knows very well which direction his business should develop, not interfering with national finance, not affecting people's livelihood, only mutual benefit between businessmen.

After the business of Qianzhuang is stabilized, the trip to the Western Regions is about to start again. The road to the Western Regions is far away, to pass through the Loess Plateau, to walk through the desolate land, to cross the Hexi Corridor, all have to travel by land, if tens of thousands of silk are brought over, not only more manpower and material resources, the risk will definitely increase, therefore, Song Che took the Liu family as a warehouse, stored a large number of silk, only carried 3,000 horses, to find out the Western Regions trade route, and then follow up.

Tang Hulu's heart was bigger, and he brought two thousand more silks than Song Che. Together, they had a total of eight thousand skins of silk and twelve carriages.

On Song Che's side, there were fifteen men who were going to open a money village in Liangzhou to follow, as well as twenty-three female swordsmen who acted as bodyguards; On Tang Hulu's side, he brought eight Persian men and spent money to hire twenty dart masters.

Combined, there were eighty-one people in the two teams. Twelve wagons, one with people and two with luggage, a total of fourteen wagons.

A large caravan walks on the road, and there are always some small caravans that will follow along, so as to huddle together for warmth and borrow trees for shade.

Most of these small caravans, like Song Che and them, saw the opportunity of the reopening of the Silk Road, and they all wanted to go west to get the first pot of gold.

"Boss Song, I think we should charge some enlistment fees or something, after all, I spent a lot of money to hire bodyguards." This is not the first time Tang Hulu has mentioned something to Song Che.

This old Persian fox will not let go of any opportunity to make money. Song Che is not as stingy as him, everyone is a businessman who travels south and north, and businessmen in the wind and rain should take care of each other, not to mention that there is only one avenue, everyone can step on it, and no one is qualified to collect money.

Song Che said: "If Boss Tang wants to collect protection money, he can collect it, but he said in advance, if you really encounter any bandits, you have to be responsible for protecting them, and my bodyguards will not help." Tang Hulu pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Then

"Let's go! Follow me to the boss, I've been paying attention to you for a long time, you must be a lawbreaker! ”

"You let go of me! Why are you arresting me! Two bodyguards came to Song Che and Tang Hulu with a young man.

Heard the bodyguard say: "Boss, this kid doesn't know where he came from, he has been sneaky since he left the city, as if he intends to blend in with our team!" The young man was short and wore a cloth hat, she tilted her head, deliberately avoiding her gaze, but lowered her voice and said: "This is the road to Lanzhou, your line is so long, what's wrong with me following......" Song Che frowned, although the young man's voice was very low, it was familiar.

He strode over, looking left at the young man, and the young man's head turned to the right, and right at the young man, and the young man's head turned to the left.

"Don't move." He clamped the young man's head and straightened her face before confirming her: "Xiang'er! Liu Xiang'er's identity was recognized, she blinked, and smiled: "Qiao...... Brother-in-law. ”
