Cheng Quartet and the four of them have been in Yong'an City for a long time, and they have not seen any suitable deals, they are all commonplace. [Ran^Text^Library] Lu Yi sighed: "Hey, it seems that this is it." ”

Cheng Sifang was silent for a while, and asked Qing Xuan: "Qing Xuan, to the northwest is into Sichuan, what about the southwest?" Qing Xuan said: "That is very dangerous, that is the land of the South and the Middle of the South, and it is the territory of the Southern Barbarians, which is very unfriendly to us Han people." The corners of Cheng Sifang's mouth lifted and asked, "Have you ever been to Nanzhong?" Qing Xuan replied, "No, but my father has been." ”

Cheng Sifang continued to ask: "So, as far as you know, what is missing over there?" Qing Xuan said: "It is not yet civilized, and almost everything is missing." Cheng Sifang laughed and said, "Okay, that's simple, let's buy food." Qing Xuan was stunned: "Childe, you are ......" into a square and said: "Before entering Sichuan, let's go to Nanzhong first." ”

Cheng Sifang's decision surprised everyone, except for Qing Xuan, everyone had never been to Nanzhong, but they had all heard Nanban's unreasonable, fierce and brutal, and they were all afraid that there would be such and such problems after going to Nanzhong.

Lu Yi said worriedly: "Master, do you have to go to Nanzhong?" Cheng Sifang glanced at Lu Yi and asked with a smile: "Are you afraid?" Lu Yi shook his head: "I'm not afraid, it's just ...... There is something unwritten in my heart. Cheng Quartet said: "As a qualified businessman, you must have the spirit of adventure, go to unknown places, and there will be unknown opportunities waiting for you." As he spoke, Cheng Sifang turned his head to look at Qing Xuan and said with a smile: "Of course, there must also be a talent like Qing Xuan who has traveled all over the world." ”

Qing Xuan heard Cheng Quartet praise himself, his face turned red, and he lowered his head and stopped talking. This subtle move was seen by Xiao Zhihan, and Xiao Zhihan smiled slightly.

So everyone bought food and prepared to march to Nanzhong, facing the unknown Nanzhong, the barbarian Nanban, half of the caravan was longing, half was worried. Cheng Sifang deliberately asked Lu Yi to buy food to hone Lu Yi's bargaining ability, although this purchase of grain can lower the price again, but for Lu Yi, it has done a good job, Cheng Sifang didn't say much, only told Lu Yi that he didn't know much about the market price, and Lu Yi accepted it all modestly.

To go to Nanzhong, you need to turn around from Yong'an and then head southwest.

Halfway through the caravan, Xiao Zhihan said: "It's food again, I hope there won't be any accidents this time." In Xiao Zhihan's impression, as long as Cheng Quartet starts to do grain business, there will be incidents. Cheng Sifang smiled: "As long as you don't be impulsive anymore, it's no problem." Xiao Zhihan said angrily: "What are you talking about? It's like I hurt it." Cheng Quartet stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.

Xiao Zhihan couldn't help but feel in his heart, when did he start to laugh like this?

When they arrived at Jiaozhi, people were sleepy and tired, and they said in all directions: "It's finally here, let's rest here today." "Jiaozhi and Nanzhong, a remote place, Qing Xuan has never been here, and he has no confidence in his heart, and Lu Yi is even more afraid, because this is the closest place to Nanzhong, and it is likely that some strange things will happen at any time. Lu Yi said: "Master, let's camp outside." Cheng Sifang smiled and said, "What are you afraid of?" ”

The people had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow into the city in all directions. Seeing the guards at the city gate, Qing Xuan and Lu Yi couldn't help but be afraid.

When everyone was about to enter the city, they were stopped by the guards, and the commander of the soldiers asked, "What are you doing?" The soldier commander was puzzled: "Merchant?" Then he ordered someone to inspect the goods of the caravan, and when he saw that it was grain and there was nothing unusual, the soldier's vigilant expression changed to a smile, and said, "Go in, the boss should not make trouble in the city." ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, but they didn't expect this remote Jiaozhi guard to have such etiquette.

When they entered the city, everyone was even more surprised: the crowd in the city was dense, the exchanges were kind, the courtesy was orderly, the men were strong, the women were beautiful, the hair was not scattered, the clothes were not damaged, there were no beggars along the way, and the sound of poetry was heard through the window.

Xiao Zhihan couldn't help but praise: "This place is so prosperous!" Cheng Sifang was also taken aback, compared to the war outside, this place was like a paradise.

In the praise, everyone found a resting place, clean and tidy, which was very different from everyone's impression of other resting places.

Seeing this prosperous scene, Cheng Sifang couldn't hold back his temperament, and as soon as he settled down, he called Lu Yi and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to make the first deal." Lu Yi was also very interested, called the caravan and transported the grain to the market.

Due to the huge difference between the scene of this place and the outside, Cheng Sifang was not sure of the market price here, and when he arrived at the market, the market was not opened, but he led Lu Yi to observe everywhere to explore the price of grain. It turned out that there was no need to worry about it, and the price of grain here was not much different from that of other places, and it seems that there were grain merchants who had been here for a long time.

Cheng Sifang smiled and said, "Xiao Yi, we don't do business here anymore." Lu Yi was stunned: "Where are you going?" Cheng Quartet was silent, turned around and left, and Lu Yi had to lead the caravan to follow.

Lu Yi saw Cheng Quartet asking around for directions, and he was puzzled, so he followed Cheng Quartet for a long time, but arrived at Taishou Mansion. Lu Yi was taken aback and said, "Master, you won't be ...... It won't be ......"

Cheng Sifang smiled at Lu Yi, and walked into the Taishou Mansion, as soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by the guards, and Cheng Sifang saluted: "In the lower Beihai businessmen Cheng Quartet, if you want to see Taishou, you will be troubled to report it." "Houwangzhai is in Mount Tai, but Cheng Quartet claims to be a merchant in Beihai, which is the guilt of the top ten masters in his heart. Originally, Cheng Sifang thought that it was not so simple to meet Taishou, but the guard smiled and said, "It turned out to be a businessman from Beihai, and it was hard work to come from afar, please wait." With that, the guard turned around and entered the Taishou Mansion.

The guards' reaction was unexpected, and it was not at all within the realm of common sense. After a while, the guard came back and said, "Lord Taishou is waiting in the main hall, Boss Cheng, please come with me." ”

Cheng Sifang and Lu Yi followed the guards, entered the Taishou Mansion, as soon as they entered the door, they saw a square stone tablet about nine feet high standing in the courtyard, Cheng Sifang glanced at it at random, the stone tablet was engraved with a selection of "Spring and Autumn", and looked around the courtyard, only to see the potted plants placed in a staggered and orderly manner, and couldn't help but wonder: "Who is this Taishou?"

Entering the main hall, the old man who had passed the sixtieth year sat down, and the old man saw Cheng Sifang and Lu Yi coming in, and said with a smile: "The boss has worked hard from afar, please take a seat." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the other side, and the dignified Taishou actually put down the shelf and sat down himself, which was a courtesy to sit on an equal footing with the visitors.
