Zhao Er said: "I'm tired, I'll see Master Polymath tomorrow." After speaking, he moved to the kang, pulled the quilt and covered it, took off his coat, and fell asleep.

Guan Fengzi put away his baggage, put it in the cabinet, turned off the lights, came to the kang head and sat down, thinking about the news brought by Zhao Er.

This night is not peaceful, and the heavenly thunder in the official post of Jicheng is also hurrying to make things to suppress demons, and two big men are on duty to inspect the yard. Ten miles south of the city, Xigegang, Boerhu and Boxi, are talking very happily.

Boer Tiger came to the south gate with a horse, and asked the city gate guards how to go to Xigegang, and galloped all the way, and arrived at Xigegang around the time.

Xigegang is all Boxi's family, it is more suitable to call it a manor, originally it was not used, only slaves were left to take care of the cultivated land to live here, because they had to move over, and they had to do it again.

Xigegang is not big, except for the more than 130 people in the Boxi family, the remaining more than 20 families are slaves.

Boxi does business, mainly on the two lines of Saibei and Qi outside the Guan, and communicates the materials of the three countries. Two years ago, he sold a batch of iron tools, salt, sea shell ornaments, etc., and went to Chagar, greedy for a hurry, and was attacked by wolves in the territory of Borhu.

At that time, it was getting late, and more than 20 family members, under the leadership of Boxi, fought hard against the wolves, but fortunately, the iron weapons were all knives, and everyone was not short of weapons to use.

After the wolves had been driven away, it was already dark, and Boxi was worrying about whether to hurry or rest on the spot, when a torch appeared in front of him.

Seeing the torches, Boxi ordered the caravan to move closer to the torches, and the two sides quickly met. But it was a sentry of men and horses, with more than 30 horses, led by Boer Hu.

Borhu was already about to rest, and heard a report from the Rong people that wolves were attacking the caravan in the territory. So he called for men and rode horses to help, and if he needed the goods of the caravan, he bought them.

Seeing that Boerhu was dressed extraordinary, Boxi arched his hand and said: "We are a caravan from Yan Kingdom, my name is Boxi, and I am the head of the caravan, may I ask what you call your lordship?"

Borhu observed the caravan, which consisted of five wagons, all covered with sackcloth, and the goods inside could not be seen. These more than 20 family members are all capable, all of them are carrying scimitars, and there are bloodstains of wolf hair on their bodies, Boxi is wearing silk robes, he looks rich, and he looks extraordinary.

Borhu stepped forward, came to Boxi, and said, "I am Chief Bor, and this Shabbir is my domain. I heard that a caravan has been attacked by wolves here, so I'm here to check it out, where are you going?"

Boxi arched his hand and said: "It turned out that the chief man was here, and we were on our way to Chagar, selling a batch of ironware, salt, tea bricks, etc., in a hurry, missing the carriage and horse shop, and harassing the chief in your land, and looking at Haihan. ”

When Boerhu heard that these materials were urgently needed by his clan, he jumped off his horse, came to the carriage to check, opened the sackcloth and looked at the carriages, and sure enough, they were all things that his clan needed.

Boerhu said: "Your name is Boxi, but you have a fate with me, these materials don't need to be transported to Chager, I have accepted them, I don't know how to make a price?"

Boxi said: "If the chief needs it, I can recover the capital, and I can exchange it for eight hundred sheepskins or equivalent cowhides, and I can also exchange it for horses." "Boxi is not familiar with the place, and I am afraid that Boerhu will have bad intentions when he sees the goods, so he only said a cost price, if so, only guarantee and not pay.

Boerhu had just seen the goods in the carriage, and the nearly 100 iron scimitars were worth almost 800 sheepskins according to the market price, and he knew that Boxi had not cheated him, and said: "The big merchant is here, and he will settle down with me first, and I won't lose the big merchant with these goods." ”

It is difficult to obtain daily necessities that are urgently needed outside the customs without these big businessmen to communicate with each other. Boerhu is a smart person, knowing that if he offends the big businessman in front of him, the rumor will go out, and there will be no merchant in his clan again.

Boxi arched his hand and said, "Thank you so much, Chief." ”

Boxi and his entourage followed the Boer Huma team to the Shabbir Rongmin residential area, and Borhu asked the entourage to disperse Boxi and others to the Rongmin's house to live, and he also returned to rest.

Early the next morning, Boerhu came to the house where Boxi lived, and the two inspected the goods together, Boerhu was very satisfied, and said: "These goods of the great merchants, our clan is in urgent need, so I will replace them with a thousand sheepskins, and exchange the deficiencies with horses at the same price." ”

Boxi said, "Thank you so much, Chief. ”

Boerhu said: "A thousand sheepskins are a lot, I still need to send people to other residential areas to collect, and the big merchants can wait here for a few days with peace of mind." ”

Boxi said: "There is such a chief Lao. ”

Boxi lived in Borhu's tribe for seven days, and Borhu invited Boxi to dinner when he had nothing to do in the past seven days, and the more the two chatted, the hotter it became. One is trying to find a trade backer, the other is trying to get a stable source of goods, news channels, hit it off, the more he talks, the closer he becomes, and he worships the righteous brothers.

After that, the Boxi caravan went to Chagar again, and the goods were directly transported to Borhu, and Borhu sent someone to be responsible for selling the goods to the entire tribe, and the two families became closer and closer, comparable to brothers. The great chief of Yelu and the other minor chiefs gradually also learned about this righteous brother of Boerhu.

When Boerhu arrived at Xigegang and entered the village, he didn't know where Boxi lived. At this time, there were no people on the streets of the village, and Boerhu knew that Boxi had a lot of family, and it was a big family, so he went directly to the largest yard by beating horses. Knocked on the door, a small servant came out, and after asking, he knew that this yard was lived by Boxi's two uncles.

Borhu reported his name and said that he was Boxi's brother-in-law. The little guy didn't dare to slack off, led Boerhu to the courtyard next to him, began to knock on the door, and said, "This courtyard is where the Boxi brothers and their families live. "Boerhu thanked the little guy and wanted to pay the reward, but he didn't touch it for a long time, but he forgot to pretend to be money after changing his clothes in a hurry.

At this time, the door of Boxi's courtyard opened, and it was a family member who opened the door, who had followed the caravan and knew Boerhu, and when he saw Boerhu touching his body, he asked, "Where is the chieftain unwell?"

Boerhu was not embarrassed, but fortunately the sky was already dark, so he had to say: "There was a wind on the road, and there was some itching on my body." After speaking, he asked, "Is Brother Boxi at home?"

Jia Ding said: "Chief, please come with me, the head of the family is here." ”

Boerhu said to the little guy who led the way: "Thank you for leading the way, now I have some urgent matters to find your family master, and I will reward you when I am free tomorrow." ”

The little servant said: "It's okay, you are a distinguished guest, don't delay your affairs." After that, he returned.

Boerhu followed Jiading to a main room, which was already lit, and Jiading said, "You wait, I'll go and report it." ”

Boerhu stood in the courtyard and waited, looking around: this is a quadrangle, six wooden main houses on the front, eight earthen ear rooms on both sides, there is a chicken nest vegetable kiln well house on the south wall of the courtyard, it seems that the houses have just been repaired. Looking at it, Boxi walked out of the house,

The two greeted each other and exchanged pleasantries, and Boxi asked, "Brother came today, I really didn't expect it, but what gust of wind is coming?"

While the two were talking, Boerhu wanted to find out who the polymath was.
