The first thousand three hundred and eighty-three chapters of the opportunity of Qingcheng

A convoy of Han merchants drove from Qingcheng toward the city gate.

You need to queue up to enter the city, so you don’t need to be so troublesome when you leave the city. There are not many people leaving the city, and you can go out of the city directly when you arrive at the city gate.

"Dad, I really didn't expect it to be so smooth. In less than a day, all the goods brought were taken." The young man who was driving the car said excitedly to the middle-aged man beside him.

The first time I came to the grassland business, I did so smoothly, and I couldn’t hide my joy.

The middle-aged man took a cigarette pot and sniffed out smoke, and said, "I didn't expect Qingcheng to really return to the tiger flag and become a place for us Han people."

Before coming, I had doubts about the tiger-like flag conquering the Tumote tribe, but now I disappeared completely. Only when I saw it with my own eyes did I realize the power of the tiger-like flag.

In his heart, he no longer dared to treat the tiger flag as an ordinary business name.

"I didn't expect that the business in Qingcheng is so easy. Dad, when will we come here again?" The young man turned his head and asked the middle-aged man while rushing the car.

He wished he could stay here every day when he could make money.

The middle-aged man knocked the tobacco pot in his hand on the shaft of the carriage a few times and said, "It's time for the New Year, let's do it this year, and I'll talk about it later."

Although he did not directly answer the young man, he also expressed his attitude that he would come to Qingcheng again.

"Oh! Oh!" The young man used a whip to bring back the livestock walking to the roadside, and then said to the middle-aged man, "It's a pity that the people with the Tiger Flag trade tax are too ruthless. In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court rarely charges commercial taxes. As a business name in our Ming Dynasty, the Tiger Flag should understand that it is difficult for us merchants and should not charge this commercial tax."

He had never paid any commercial tax, but felt a little uncomfortable with paying commercial tax on the tiger flag seriously.

Even though I made a lot of money in Qingcheng this time, I still feel that the commercial tax should not be paid.

"The Ming Dynasty did not pay commercial taxes, but when I passed through the state and passed through the prefecture, there was no tapping. The sum of silver was only a lot more than the commercial taxes collected by the tiger flag." The middle-aged man said to the young man while using a broom to clear the tar in the tobacco pipe pot.

The young man who drove the car said, "The taps we paid in the past were collected by local officials, but the tiger flag is just a business. They openly collect commercial taxes, which is a ruthless thing."

"What can I do if I collect commercial taxes? The laws of the Ming Dynasty can still be controlled on the grassland!" The middle-aged man snorted, then blew it with his cigarette puff in his mouth. When he found that it was breathable, he threw away the slender broom branch in his hand.

The young man choked.

He also knew that the imperial court could not control the grassland, but they worked hard to transport the goods to Qingcheng, but they had to take out a large sum of silver as commercial tax to hand it over to the tiger flag, which made him feel uncomfortable.

After all, there is nothing to do with the tiger flag. As long as people wait in the tax office, they can get the money of past merchants for nothing.

In his opinion, this is easier than any business.

The middle-aged man put away his tobacco pot, looked at the young man driving the car, and said, "Don't be unwilling to think about it. On the grassland, the tiger flag is the imperial court here. If we really don't pay them commercial taxes, our business will not be so smooth. Moreover, we have made a lot of money this time. Once the fur pulled from the car is sold, we can make another profit."

After traveling around for so many years, he can see clearly than his son.

This trip to Qingcheng has earned money that he usually earned for half a year. Not to mention paying such a little commercial tax, he is willing to pay even twice as much.

"It's strange that we have passed so many Dunbaos along the way and have not encountered a single level. We have saved a lot of money." The young man said.

The middle-aged man looked back at Qingcheng behind him and said, "When you look, it will take a few years to start here. In the future, more and more merchants will come to Qingcheng to do business."

In the past, the biggest difficulty in doing business on the grassland was that it was too dangerous. This danger not only came from horse bandits on the grassland, but also from herder tribes living on the grassland.

Now that Tumote's tribe is conquered by the tiger flag, the life safety of the Ming merchants who came to Qingcheng to conduct business are guaranteed, which allows him to see the opportunity of Qingcheng's prosperity.

"Dad, what you think is too simple. How could the court give the tiger flag the opportunity? Look, the court will take action against the tiger flag sooner or later. Let's try to come to Qingcheng a few more trips before the court takes action." The young man said.

He is not optimistic that the tiger flag can gain a foothold on the grassland.

Compared with the tiger-shaped flag that occupied Qingcheng, he believed that the Ming Dynasty was stronger.

"Catch the train well and go home for the New Year early." The middle-aged man was unwilling to talk about the matter between the Ming Dynasty and the tiger flag, and urged his son to hurry up.

This father and son are just a microcosm of the Ming Dynasty businessman who came to Qingcheng.

As the father and son return to the Ming Dynasty, more and more people will know the situation in Qingcheng, and at the same time, they will attract more Ming merchants to come to Qingcheng to do business.

Liu Heng, wrapped in fur, rode a horse on Qingcheng Street.

As the end of the year approaches, the New Year atmosphere of the Han family in Qingcheng is becoming more and more obvious. Every household has begun to post Spring Festival couplets, and some Mongolians have also learned to post Spring Festival couplets at home.

Originally, there were some differences between the New Year of the Mongols and the Han people. Many Mongolians completely looked down on the Han people's style. However, since the tiger-shaped flag conquered the Tumote tribe, many Mongolians began to learn from the Han people.

"This year, many businessmen came to Qingcheng from the Ming Dynasty. When these people go back and spread the situation in Qingcheng, I believe that Qingcheng will be more prosperous in the next year." Li Shuheng, who was walking on the street with Liu Heng, said.

Liu Heng looked at the shops that opened the door to do business on the street and said, "We must ensure the safety of those Ming Dynasty merchants who came to Qingcheng. Only when the road from Ming Dynasty to Qingcheng is safe and smooth will the merchants be more willing to come to Qingcheng to do business."

"Don't worry, our cavalry patrol along the way, and the piers along the way were notified to solve the meal problems for merchants from the Ming Dynasty and provide accommodation." Li Shuheng said.

Liu Heng nodded and urged the horse to continue walking forward.

Horse riding is prohibited in Qingcheng City, and even the lord of the Tumot tribe, Omubuhong, was not allowed to ride horses on the streets. The only people who could ride horses in the city were those with the tiger flag.

So when pedestrians on the road saw someone riding a horse, they immediately realized that it was the tiger flag. They hid to the side of the road and asked the horses and riders to pass first.

Step! Step! Step! Step!

The rapid sound of horse hooves came from afar.

Soon, several riders appeared in the field of vision of Liu Heng and others.
