The place where the old man lives now is not far from here, and the two of them arrived quickly.

It's just that it's easy to enter, but it's a little difficult to come out, carrying a sixty-year-old man on his back, Lu Yu is really inconvenient to move around in this forest at will.

If Lu Yu had said that these two old men were sick and had nothing to do to hide in the mountains, but they had more than 20 years of muddy memories, but Lu Yu was a little sympathetic.

In a peaceful world, who wants to live in such a place?

It's just just some sympathy, the situation in each world is different, in this chaotic martial arts world, only if you are strong enough can you protect what you want to protect.

Returning to the station, although the old man was very disgusted with this obviously very ugly wooden house, but in addition to the reason for avoiding trouble, this place was much better than in the mountains.

And Lu Yu was also afraid that the old man would not be willing to accept such help innocently, so he specially arranged an errand for him, and firewood was needed to boil water and cook rice every day in the inn.

And the old man is still tough and strong, and it shouldn't be difficult to do some chopping wood, after all, this is what he is good at, and it can also make the two of them live with peace of mind.

Back at the inn, Lu Yu saw Li Xiaozui coming over, and directly threw the recipe reward he received to him.

"Wow, boss, this recipe is the same as the previous two, the recipe that you can learn just by reading it once is amazing, where did you get it, boss. Li Xiaozui was also not afraid of others' attention, so he used the recipe without hesitation, and suddenly the progress of the task increased again.

Lu Yu saw that the dishes rewarded by the system tasks did not need to be satisfied with the guests, so the development priority of the dishes should be placed on these system tasks, after all, these dishes also only need to be used once to learn.

For this reason, Lu Yu even asked the system whether the cheats given by these tasks can also be used directly by others, but the system explained that it could only allow people in this position to learn the books of this position, of course, except for him.

The system may be doing this to eliminate Lu Yu's idea of turning people into martial arts masters all at once, but Lu Yu has found a possible loophole, but there is no way to try it now.

As for what he said just now, Li Xiaozui is not stupid, so naturally he will not ask this kind of question in front of others, as for using the recipe, hehe, take a recipe and see what is strange.

"Your boss's skills are certainly not what you can imagine. It's just that the same Lu Yu won't tell him anything, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Is Zhu Cong back?" ”

Li Xiaozui also shook his head, and just when he wanted to continue to inquire, the merchant who often came urged him.

"Big mouth, my bastard, all right. ”

Li Xiaozui also hurriedly reacted, he forgot to serve the food to the guests, and hurriedly apologized: "It's coming, it's coming." ”

This businessman's name is Li Yan, and he comes here every week or two, so Lu Yu is naturally a little familiar.

Looking at the branch task four, which still only had the progress of more than twenty people, Lu Yu had already had a countermeasure in his heart.

The twenty or so new guests were mainly first-time merchants, and the reason why these merchants knew about it was because of the other merchants who had mentioned it by chance.

It's just that it is obvious that the effect of this kind of publicity, which is only mentioned by chance among the merchants, is too slow, but it is rare for anyone other than these merchants to choose this official road that has long been abandoned.

If there are one or two martial arts people who came by chance, these martial arts people came purely by chance, and it was an extravagant hope to want them to bring others over.

Who has nothing to do likes to run to the wilderness, so Lu Yu feels that if his inn wants to develop quickly, it will eventually be on these merchants.

It's just that the occasional propaganda of these people is obviously really too slow, and most of the social circles of these merchants are also merchants, although they go to many places and know many people, but they often have to go back and forth at least once for a week.

Not to mention that many merchants who rely on volume will not choose this path at all, the reason for this Lu Yu has actually been known for a long time, in the final analysis, it is the bandit village that is entrenched twenty miles away.

Naturally, some of the meager profits did not want to be exploited by these bandits, but it was strange to say that, according to Li Yan, the original merchants would never have taken this road, even if it was indeed the closest road to other trading places.

Of course, this is also the reason why this place used to be an official road, and the reason why Li Yan chose to pass by this post station now is because of what a merchant who originally just wanted to fight once said.

There is a certain risk in the business itself, especially for a businessman like Boss Li who sells hot goods in the season, time is naturally the most important factor in all huge profits.

It's just that this is not a gambling that jokes about all the worth, and it turns out that this bandit village will not let go of anything valuable as long as it is a passerby.

Recently, however, I heard from the trader, who was still making more money than usual after being let go by the bandits, that the bandits now only charge a certain amount of tolls to each trader.

As soon as Lu Yu heard this, he felt that these bandits had started the business of building toll booths on the highway by modern people, but one was to build a road and collect some maintenance fees, while the other was to occupy the road and collect tolls.

At that time, he didn't have the heart to care about this, but the number of guests required by the system now is a bit too much, and Lu Yu can't wait.

At first, he even thought about going to the nearby Lijia Town to dig people, but it was unrealistic to think about it, and he couldn't confront Lijia Town at this time.

As for the bandit village, for Lu Yu, who opened the inn here, it was sooner or later necessary to deal with it, so it didn't matter if he was offended or not.

You must know that merchants are a large group, and tea merchants like Boss Li can choose to give up some benefits to copycats, because time will help them earn everything back.

Moreover, tea is a delicate commodity, and there are not too many people who deliver the goods, and Boss Li and his party are just a coachman and a bodyguard.

And those teams with a large number of goods that need a large number of people to transport are Lu Yu's preferred targets, of course, the number of people cannot be too much, otherwise Lu Yu's current inn scale will definitely not be able to accommodate so many people, and it is also the reason why some powerful caravans have not come to the inn, because they can't live at all, and even the goods have no place to place.

This Li Yan only came yesterday, thinking that he should leave after eating here, Lu Yu also felt that he couldn't delay any longer, so he walked in first and said: "Boss Li, look at your complexion, you have made a lot of money this time." ”

"Yes, Boss Lu, it's serious, we can be so convenient with your inn, otherwise there are a lot of jackals, tigers and leopards in the wilderness, but, as you know, on the way back, I can't say that there will be another blood. Li Yan said this, but it was a little painful.

Lu Yu also knew that he said that he still had to be tortured by those bandits on the way back, but even so, these merchants were still willing to take this road, which proved that they couldn't do without this road.

"Hehe, I don't know Boss Li, believe it or not. Lu Yu looked at the other party a little mysteriously, and seeing that Li Yan looked at him with some caution, Lu Yu continued: "I don't know if Boss Li is interested in making more money, or passing on some other people's money." ”

Li Yan also said tentatively: "What, Boss Lu still has a way to make money?"

"It's just that everyone can earn a little more, and I don't know if Boss Li believes it or not. Another vague answer.

It's just that after saying it again, Li Yan thought of something and looked at Lu Yu with a surprised expression.

"Is there any other way for Boss Lu to let my goods pass under the noses of those bandits without being noticed? Li Yan naturally wouldn't think that Lu Yu would be able to solve the bandit village by himself, otherwise would he still need to talk to him like this.

This bandit village has existed for a long time, but it has not been exterminated, it is conceivable that if it is not its ability, it is the result of the acquiescence of all forces, and this bandit village will find him sooner or later.

"Boss Li, he is really a shrewd person, he can be thorough at one point, and there is not only so little means to let the goods pass through there safely. If Boss Li trusts me, he might as well entrust me with the goods. Lu Yu showed a mysterious smile

"Could it be that Boss Lu is also 。。。。。 ”

It's just that Li Yan is different, it seems that he treats Lu Yu as a person who is also a copycat, he began to think about it for a while, and finally thought about it, and the other party had no need to harm him.

"I don't know what Boss Lu wants. "Li Yan is also a cheerful person, and the nature of business is destined to make it difficult for them to refuse as long as it is profitable.
