"Brother Zhou, have you ever thought about it? Your efficiency is too low when you travel thousands of miles to do business." Geng Xiaofan had long discovered that Zhou Da's business was not "scientific", and it was only now that he had the time to "give guidance" to him.

"Then, what do you think I should do?"

"Division of labor!" Geng Xiaofan replied decisively.

"Division of labor?" Zhou Da frowned.

Geng Xiaofan placed the three wine bowls in a folded line on the table, "This is Chang'an, this is Yanmen, and this is Bajun." Geng Xiaofan picked up his chopsticks, dipped them in the wine, and connected the three wine bowls.

"Set up a warehouse in Chang'an, half of the people go to and from Chang'an, Ba County, and half go to and from Yanmen, Chang'an. Does this double your efficiency?"

"Yes! Why didn't I think of that!" Zhou Da suddenly realized. The caravan consisted of old men, women, and children, and the journey north was a bit difficult. They were not used to it. If these people were allowed to travel to and from the relatively easy southern route, the strong and strong forces would only be responsible for the north.

Line, not only the efficiency is improved, but also the team is easier to lead!

"Moreover, your people who stay in Chang'an can always pay attention to the market conditions and adjust the goods at any time, and your profits will definitely be higher!" Geng Xiaofan smiled. Zhou Da did not understand such a simple way of "doing business".

"Xiaosi, you don't have to follow the caravan back and forth from now on. You stay in Chang'an! Rent a house and run a good business here!" Although Zhou Da has little experience in "business", he is really vigorous and resolute in doing things.

"Okay!" Xiao Si also understood and readily agreed.

"Then Xiaosi won't be able to go home for a long time." Geng Xiaofan joked. In this way, Xiaosi is equivalent to the "regional manager" sent by some modern companies to other places. In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and he might not be able to go home all year round.

Xiaosi's expression darkened, he lowered his head and murmured, "Xiaosi, Xiaosi has no home."

"What's wrong?" Geng Xiaofan felt something was wrong.

"You don't know, Xiaosi's parents died when he was less than ten years old, and he has been following me to earn a living these years." Zhou Da explained quickly.

"It doesn't matter! Xiao Si, a man is upright and has a home all over the world!" Geng Xiaofan understood Xiao Si's life experience. Although he felt pity for him, he could only encourage him at the moment!

"Yes! A real man is at home all over the world!" Xiaosi was really moved by Geng Xiaofan's "encouragement" and excitedly picked up the wine bowl.

"Xiaosi, you will look for a house in Chang'an City tomorrow. As long as you like it, you can decide. I will leave money for you!" Zhou Da trusted Xiaosi very much.

"Brother Zhou, you are wrong again." Geng Xiaofan picked up the wine bowl and touched it with the two of them.

"Wrong again?" Zhou Da frowned.

"Every inch of land in Chang'an City is precious, so the rent must be very high. Besides, the city gate opens early and closes late. Do you think it's convenient?" Geng Xiaofan was really speechless. Did the ancient "businessmen" not use their brains?

"Then, where is the right place?" Zhou Da seemed to really have no idea.

"It needs convenient transportation!" Xiaosi responded quickly.

"By the way, what else is there?" Geng Xiaofan liked Xiao Si a little bit. This young man is indeed smart.

"Not only does it have to have convenient transportation, but it also has to have good public security, and it has to not be too far from the city, and the safety of the goods has to be ensured. I have a place in mind!" Xiaosi was excited.

"where?"

"Outside Yongmen!"

"Tell me, why?" Geng Xiaofan didn't know what was going on outside Yongmen, but he believed that Xiao Si had understood what he meant. Since he was so sure, there must be a reason.

"Yongmenwai is close to the city and is relatively safe. More importantly, it is close to the east and west cities, making it convenient to import and export goods. Moreover, Xianyang Ferry not only has boats and bridges, it is convenient to cross the river, and our goods do not need to cross it again.

Chang'an City saves you a lot of trouble." Xiao Si said excitedly.

Geng Xiaofan said no more, he only smiled. This junior is really a teachable talent.

"Great, it's just outside Yongmen. I'll look for it tomorrow!" Zhou Da also understood.

He imagined that he no longer had to queue at the Weihe River Crossing, no longer had to walk through Chang'an City, and suffered from the troubles of the soldiers guarding the gate. How good it was!

"Xiaosi, I'm going to cross Xianyang Ferry tomorrow, and I'll go with you to check it out. Don't be anxious about finding a house. You're almost done looking. Come back to Maoling with me to celebrate the New Year."

Geng Xiaofan was going to find a companion. He would feel a little sorry if Xiaosi was left alone in Chang'an and spent the New Year alone.

"Really? Brother Fan is willing to take me with you?" Xiao Si's eyes lit up. He had already seen that this Mr. Geng was not an ordinary person. He knew too many things.

"I'm afraid that Brother Zhou won't let you go, otherwise, I really want you to follow me." Geng Xiaofan thought, he was going back to his hometown to tidy up his home, and he didn't know what he would encounter, so it would be nice to have a capable helper.

"Brother Xiaofan, what are you talking about! Even I, Zhou Da, am one of yours. I will fight with swords, mountains, and fire at your call!" Zhou Da shouted loudly, slapping his chest to show his stance.

"Hahaha! Brother Zhou is generous! Then I will borrow Xiao Si for two months first. Don't worry, it won't delay your big plan!" Geng Xiaofan was delighted. This really killed two birds with one stone!

The next day, Zhou Da drove his carriage out of the city.

Xiao Si carefully prepared the mount and luggage for Geng Xiaofan and waited respectfully.

"There are too many horses these days, let's go for a walk!" Geng Xiaofan didn't want Xiao Si to lead the horse for him. He seemed to be unable to accept this kind of "treatment".

"Xiaosi, since you want to accompany me back to my hometown, let's not leave empty-handed. You go buy a carriage."

Geng Xiaofan had already checked out a lot of goods in the East and West Markets yesterday. Although he didn't know what he had in his "house", he knew that there would definitely not be anything like spices from the Western Regions at home, and there wouldn't be many of them, and these could be

They are all his "necessities of life".

Xiao Si was very familiar with the East and West markets and quickly bought a carriage. Geng Xiaofan walked smartly while "sweeping goods".

"Brother Fan, you seem to be particularly fond of these spices from the Western Regions, and you buy so much to eat." Xiaosi was very obedient and bought whatever Geng Xiaofan asked him to buy, but he still couldn't help but want to ask.

"Brother Xiaofan, you are a foodie. You are not afraid of anything else but starvation and tasteless food, haha!" Geng Xiaofan joked to himself. He was actually very careful and was already making plans for his future "livelihood".

What is on the market, what is lacking, what is plentiful and low-priced, what is scarce and high-priced... He basically has it all figured out.

The harvest was full, and he also had a car to ride on. Geng Xiaofan handed the horse to Xiao Si. This was a coordinated move!

The two of them walked out of Yongmen leisurely.

Maoling is less than a hundred miles away from Chang'an and can easily be reached in one day. You can also find a suitable "transit warehouse" for Zhou Da along the way.

However, when they almost reached Xianyang Bridge, they couldn't find a suitable place.

"Xiaosi, let's go south." Geng Xiaofan was a little reluctant.

"Okay!" Xiao Si turned the horse's head.

Not far from the official road heading south, there is a small village. Xiaosi and Geng Xiaofan both laughed, this place is suitable! Not far from the official road, elegant and secluded!
