Purchase, his eldest brother can't do it, it has to be him.

Smart and clever Lu Xiaowen, anxious Lu Xiaowen, and good man Lu Xiaowen.

This family, the entire Guanyang Alliance, can't live without him.

The author has something to say:

Lu Xuan: That's why I'm afraid that Lu Wen will be beaten.

Small Theatre:

Lu Xu: Some children don't eat as much sugar as one person in their lifetime. So, if it weren't for my brother's ability, you wouldn't want to eat candy for the rest of your life!

Worry-free Lu Xiaorui: Surprised!!

Brother's Advice (Original Version) -

Lu Xu: Lu Zhou, you can't just read books to know? It's stupid to just read books, you still have to work! Come, wash my brother's clothes.

Lu Zhou, who often helps his brother wash clothes and do housework, only remembers the first half of the sentence.

Chapter 178: See

When Lu Xu and his caravan arrived in Chongning, Chongning and Wenqiu counties were still immersed in the enthusiasm of this trade fair.

Because of the good response, many merchants also asked when the next event would be held.

The three counties made their own calculations, removed the expenses for food and lodging on the road, and exempted the cost of entering the city, and they even had some surplus just by collecting taxes.

Especially in Chongning and Wenqiu County, the officials who escorted them along the way were paid by them, but the cost was given by Guanyang County.

After this trip, the officials were paid to work overtime, and the yamen did not have to pay for it, and everyone was quite happy.

After all, Chongning and Wenqiu are poor, and they don't even have any oil and water for officials.

Not to mention the big and small merchants, they bought good goods at a low price, and they were shipped back and sold quickly, and many people regretted being too conservative, and this time they brought less money.

Wenqiu's few merchants who had eaten with Lu Xu once, and the big merchants who were flickered by Lu Xu couldn't stop laughing.

They believed Lu Xu, this time they brought a lot of money and goods, and they got a lot of food and clothing back for two busy days, and they distributed them to the villages and towns of Wenqiu along the way, and Chongning's counterparts also ordered a lot of them to go.

I haven't started selling it in my own shop yet, and I'm almost back to basics.

And what makes Chongning and Wenqiu counties and county officials the most happy is that they have found a market for mountain goods, this thing is not worth much in them, there is no shortage of families, and they can't be used as food to fill up, they have been looking for hard work and selling cheaply.

It's different anymore.

There were two southern merchants who opened shops in Guanyang and agreed with them that they would receive goods from them all year round, as long as they could send them to Guanyang, even if they could send them there, as many as they wanted.

And the most profitable is Guanyang.

The role of a waterway transit terminal is already beginning to bear fruit.

Not to mention the commercial taxes collected, many idle laborers in Guanyang before and after this trade have found jobs to do.

It is the time of slack time, they can earn an extra penny, and the winter is better than a point.

Those who have a lively mind not only work as stevedores at the wharf, but also start a business of buying, selling, leasing, repairing and modifying board cars, helping businessmen who do not have enough board cars to make their cars wider and longer, or sell cars to them.

The food sellers also made a small fortune, although the county government shared half of the meal money at the post station, but everyone went to Guanyang, and the rich businessmen always wanted to taste the food in Guanyang.

Chongning people especially love to eat fish.

There are no big rivers and no big fish in Chongning, they have a hard time quenching their cravings in Guanyang, braised it, steamed, raw meat, fish soup, fish balls...... I can't wait to taste it all, and there are merchants who have entered the truckload of dried fish.

Guanyang fish is cheap!

Dried fish is easy to preserve, and there is a lot of salt on it, so you won't lose money when you get it back and sell it as pickles!

……

At the end of a trade, almost everyone involved makes a profit.

After some discussion, the three counties decided to hold it twice a year, once after spring ploughing and once after autumn harvest.

No matter how long this activity can continue in the future, the county magistrate of the three counties tacitly thought that as long as he was still in office, he must stick to it.

Lu Xu didn't know that the three counties had jointly organized a trade fair, but when he passed Chongning and Wenqiu this time, the people of the two counties had a very different attitude towards them than before. ”

"Your Guanyang City is so beautiful."

"Do you have a lot of candy in Guanyang?"

"That cake you have there, it's delicious, it's just too expensive!"

……

Lu Xu was at a loss, why did it seem that everyone had been to Guanyang?

But in the midst of the praise, there are also different tones.

Someone asked him: "Is that Lu Wen of the Guanyang Alliance really your younger brother?" ”

"You're not brothers, are you?"

"I said it can't be brothers!"

What did Lu Wen do?

Why did the merchants in the two counties grit their teeth when they mentioned him.

When Lu Xu figured out what was going on, he found that there were already some small traders on the business road who had taken a short distance.

The merchants in Guanyang transported the goods to the border between Guanyang and Wenqiu, and the merchants in Wenqiu took over and distributed a part of it, and sold the rest to Chongning.

The merchants of Chongning collected their specialties locally, exchanged them with the merchants of Wenqiu, and then sold them to the people of Guanyang by the merchants of Wenqiu.

After the Guanyang people received the goods, they found a ship merchant from the south to trade......

The small traders in these places didn't dare to run too far, expecting them to run across the county from Guanyang to the north like Lu Xu in one go, but within the range they were familiar with, many people were tempted to pour things safely.

Especially those who have personally walked through it, seen the road conditions, and tasted the sweetness, have gained great motivation.

If you are bold, in order to make more money, you will cross the two counties and make the difference between the middlemen yourself.

When Lu Xu went to stay at the inn opened by the Luo family, he could see small merchants in the three counties from time to time, they generally only had one or two board cars, buying some cheap and easy-to-sell goods, either even the guys were their own family, or they only hired one or two people, buying and selling on a small basis, and making a hard-earned money.

Someone met Lu Xu, heard that he had returned from the north, and wanted to see if Lu Xu had any goods they could buy.

Lu Xu made several small transactions in the inn, and even recruited a Wenqiu merchant to join their Guanyang Alliance.

"Join us for a staycation offer!"

The merchants of Wenqiu were very happy, and the Guanyang Alliance did not have any mandatory requirements, giving priority to selling goods to them, giving priority to those who hired them, and giving priority to living in their shops......

What is this, the price is the same, who sells is not selling, transporting goods and hiring people, hiring people is different, Guanyang Alliance has its own inn, and he can rest assured that he lives.

If he had known that they outsiders could join, he would have joined a long time ago.

This kind of organization that saves worry and effort, is safe and secure, and doesn't charge much for discounts, he can't understand what Lu Xu is trying to organize.

Lu Xu: "It's just to save your mind!" For example, in the future, there will be three inns here, and we will only occupy one, and the people from the Guanyang Alliance will come to live, so we won't have to worry about the source of customers? Mutual benefit. ”

The merchant suddenly said, yes!

They save money and are safe, and the inn has a regular source of customers, which is really mutually beneficial.

He happily joined, received the flag of the Guanyang Alliance from Lu Xu, and happily planted it in the truck when he got it.

Lu Xu is also very happy that the Guanyang Alliance has expanded into a new region: "Help us publicize more!" ”

Wenqiu Merchant: "No problem! ”

Lu Xu happily thought that when they grow stronger, maybe in the future, without the need for government organizations, their alliance will be able to carry out the trade fair by themselves!

When Lu Xu returned to Guanyang, even Longxing had entered winter.

It's just that this winter is hotter than before for Guanyang City, and it seems that everyone wants to hurry up and make more money before the heavy snow freezes.

Lu Xu's caravan had not yet entered the city, and the porters and small traders who were waiting at the north gate to stop the trade had already seen the flowing white floating from the ground in the distance.

"What's that?"

"Alive!"

"There's a caravan behind!"

"What a battle! Do Wenqiu and Chongning have such a large caravan? ”

The sharp-eyed one was already shouting: "I saw the flag, I saw the flag!" What Wenqiu, Chongning, is the landscape flag of the Guanyang Alliance! ”

The porter who was waiting for the work also jumped up, and he squinted his eyes to take a closer look, isn't it the landscape flag of their Guanyang Alliance!

"The Guanyang Alliance is back!"

"The Lu family's caravan is back!"

The news spread quickly all over the streets and alleys of Guanyang, and when Lu Xu and them got a little closer, someone finally saw those "white clouds" clearly, and remembered the purpose of Lu Xu's northward journey - to buy sheep!

"Sheep! Lots of sheep!! ”

The news that Lu Xu finally brought back the sheep was also like a wind, blowing to the entire Guanyang County.

More than 20 of the 500 sheep died on the road, and the remaining 470 or so bleated and squeezed into the north gate of Guanyang County, and the guards guarding the city were shocked and worried.

To let in or not to let in, so many sheep run into the county, what can I do if I run around?!

The people in the city, who had never seen sheep before, were scared and excited, and curiously gathered on the streets to see the sheep, and the wall formed helped a lot, and the sheep that wanted to run around were blocked from the road, and they had to take the straight road.

Lu Xu was moved.

When they crossed Wenqiu, because the Wenqiu road was narrow, the sheep ran around as soon as they entered, and they lost more than a dozen of them before they entered the city gate, and the shepherd dogs couldn't watch it, but the Wenqiu people worked together to help them find the sheep back.

After running in with the sheep for so long, the guys in the caravan are not shepherds but also understand the habits of sheep, a group of people surrounded the sheep and drove them, Lu Qing took the sheep's dog to take care of them flexibly, and finally got more than 500 sheep into the city smoothly.

The little boy at the front of the street was frightened by the sheep, and a sheep taller than him ran up to him and bleated, and the adults behind him took half a step back.

The shepherd dog saw that there was a sheep and wanted to run into the alley, so he rushed over and roared, and the shepherd dog, which was taller than the sheep, had thick hair, majestic, and round eyes stared at the little boy, curling his tongue in front of him and licking his nose.

The others stepped back, only the little boy froze in place, tears swirling in his eyes a few times, but he still didn't hold back his "wow" cry.

Maybe it was because of fear, he was so scared that he didn't dare to cry, and his uncontrollable "wow, ahhh
