Chapter 44 Business

The dock at night is the busiest time of the day.
Whether the Taifu and the Queen quarrel, the officials were arrested, or even the war in Xiliang, people here could not stop their livelihoods.
It will even be busier because of this.
For example, officials were convicted and sold their property and fined them. Merchants gathered at the dock and picked up the property and sent them to various places.
For example, the war in Xiliang was in short supply of goods in the northwest, making the trade route busier.
After finally unloading a ship of cargo, several people squatting on the bow of the boat to rest. When they saw a short and fat man wearing a hat and a scarf in the summer, they immediately stood up and greeted, "Old Yu Lao Yu--" "Old Yu, what good things are you hiding?"
Yu Shang walked over with a smile, raised his hand and a pot of wine was caught by these people.
"You guys are sharp-eyed, I just got a bottle of good wine." He said.
Several people looked at the bottle of wine in their hands, but it didn't look special. "Lao Yu, you were cheated?" "Will you be willing to give it to us so well?"
Yu Shang didn't care about everyone's jokes and smiled and said, "This is a fairy wine..." "I am generous in everything. The better the thing, the more I have to share it with more people." He also signaled everyone to "try it quickly."
No matter how ridiculed it, everyone was very familiar with the character and temperament of Shang. Several people opened the wine bottle, one of them tasted it first, and immediately exclaimed. The others hurriedly grabbed it, and the praise attracted everyone around them.
Those people didn't hide their own personalities, so they brought wine bowls and glasses, "Come and try the immortal wine that Lao Yu brought back."
For a moment, the dock was extremely noisy.
For a time, everyone knew Lao Yu.
Yu Shang is indeed very popular. Although he is not a wealthy businessman, he is diligent, honest and honest and have a good relationship with everyone on the dock.
At this time, even the Lix who was moving and unloading goods surrounded him.
"Is Boss Yu going out again?" someone asked.
Yu Shang nodded: "The rest time is not short, it's time to go out and make money."
A familiar businessman asked: "Or go to Yunzhong County?"
Yu Shang nodded with a smile.
"Where can't be done in business, you always run so far." Someone shook his head, "It's far and far and now it's not safe."
Yu Shang smiled and said, "You can do any business, and although it is far, sideways and dangerous, it is my old Yu's home. You can make money and go home to see it. It is the best business in the world."
As he spoke, he looked at the carriages and horses on the dock and found that his home was busy calling him over.
Some unfamiliar people asked curiously: "Old, are from Yunzhong County?"
"Yes, I came out when I was a teenager and started a family in the capital. I had a wife and a child, but I never gave up the business in Yunzhong County." The familiar sighed.
"Why is this?" the young people were puzzled. "The money earned is spent on the road, and big businesses have also become small businesses."
But older people can understand: "There is no money to earn, and it is hard to leave your hometown. The older you get, the more you miss your hometown."
No matter how everyone talked about it, Yu Shang filled two ships with goods. He was watching from everyone and his wife and son, and surrounded by his home guards, and took a boat to go away in the night.
"Yu Shang will return with a full load in autumn." The man holding an empty wine bottle on the pier pinched his fingers, "There will be good wine again when the time comes."
The noise brought by a small businessman quickly dissipated, and a new round of noise began on the dock, and the small businessman also left the noise of the capital, rising and setting sun, getting off the boat and riding on a horse and taking a car, wind and rain, finally arrived in Yunzhong County.
When entering the pass, the goods of the merchants in front were overturned and turned over. The identity of the road invasion was checked and the money stuffed in was thrown out again. Yu Shang was a little surprised and asked the people around him: "Now the investigation is so strict? Is the war tense again?"
The businessman around him laughed: "The war is not tense, so the investigation is so strict."
What does this mean? Yu Shang didn't understand.
"Because the war is not tense, the generals are having conflicts by themselves." The passers-by watching the fun next to him were happy to answer the questions. "The military supervisor came to the court and said that the rules should be strictly followed and the investigation of Bingwei's corruption and bribery."
Yu Shang understood and shook his head: "The military supervisor has been worried too much. The guards in Yunzhong County are all very disciplined."
"We don't know whether the rules are not ruled. Anyway, the new rules now make it a little troublesome to travel." The previous merchant shook his head and said, looking at Yu Shang's car again, and saw that the goods on it were full of small things with needles and threads. "You are even more troublesome. The road is slow and the time is long. When will these goods be sold out?"
Yu Shang smiled and said, "Selling slowly, it's all small things. Rural towns are very popular. I'll walk more and walk farther."
As they spoke, the people moved forward. It was their turn to pass, and the few people stopped talking and lined up.
Yu Shang went forward without stuffing money, but took out a few water bags from the car: "The officials put water and drink it. The weather is hot. This is the latest style from the capital and it is not worth it."
The water bag was indeed not valuable. The guards raised their hands to knock it out. A general sitting next to him saw it. He squinted his eyes and recognized it, and smiled and said, "Isn't this Lao Yu? Is the runner back?"
Yu Shang smiled and replied with a smile.
The general told Bingwei: "This is a traveler Yu Bo in Mayi. He has been doing small business for decades. He often gives our brothers some essential items, umbrellas and water bags in summer, and warm sleeves in winter. It's done, so that the brothers in the army will buy them from him." Speaking of this, he said, "I said Lao Yu, are you asking us to sell goods for you?"
Yu Shang smiled honestly: "Thank you, the Jun, for taking care of the business."
The general waved his hand to signal the guards: "Please take it, and go back to promote Lao Yu." After that, he waved again, "Old Yu gives me one more."
Since the generals and the guards accepted the soldiers, Yu Shang smiled and gave one more to the generals.
The general looked at it while waved his hand: "Okay, go quickly."
The soldiers stopped checking and let Yu Shang go directly.
"This is a popular trick in the capital now?" The general and the guards discussed. "I will give this to the followers around Fu Jianjun. They should be very happy. They came here from the capital and were unaccustomed to it, which can relieve their homesickness."
The soldiers and guards all laughed.
Yu Shang sat in front of the carriage, and as the carriage galloped, he left the excitement behind him, walked through one checkpoint after another, passed through the city and the town, and the place he walked became more and more remote, and the carriage was less and less. Until one day, only one car was left in the wilderness ravine, and the people and horses were gone.
......
......
When the morning sunlight shone on the wilderness, Yu Shang took off the hat on his head and scarf on his neck one by one, threw it away, and then stretched his face in the sunlight.
He let out a howl.
More than a dozen howls came from beside him instantly.
Yu Shang turned his head and looked at more than a dozen men wearing cloth robes. Although they were wearing the latest style of robes he brought from the capital, they looked a little weird no matter how they looked, perhaps because of their different eyebrows and eyes from the people of Daxia.
Yu Shang reached out and touched his face. In fact, he looked carefully and was like this.
"Qibo, please put on our robes." The man in charge screamed and threw a robe over, "The general gave it to you."
Yu Shang reached out and caught it, laughed, "Thank you General Qibo." As he said that, he spread his hands on the galloping horse's back, took off his original Fuguituan flower robe, put on the fur robe on his shoulders and cuffs, and spread his arms in the wind.
"I'm going home-"
......
......
"It's just right back." said the man who was cutting his beard with a knife in the big tent, "The food last time was eaten up."
Yu Shang frowned: "So fast?"
The man who cut his beard smashed the knife to the ground and shouted: "It's not my Chi food. I have two ways to raise them now, no, three ways to get the food, I haven't eaten a few bites."
Yu Shang turned a blind eye to the knife inserted at his feet, and was not afraid of the man's roar. He asked a little surprised: "Three ways, besides the king, is the eldest prince also asking for food from the general?"
The general was the son-in-law of King Xiliang and the head of Chi'na tribe. This time, the King of Xiliang led his three sons to personally expedition, and the eldest prince was in charge of Xiliang City, and at the same time, he summoned Chi'na tribe to the left.
"This is too much." Yu Shang shook his head, "The eldest prince enjoys peace in the rear, and even asks you to provide food and grass. It's too difficult for you, General."
He said and smiled again.
"A princess is not enough for such a contribution. When the reward is made in terms of merit, the general remembers to ask for two more from the king."
The man Chi looked gloomy: "What's the use of asking for so many women? My troops are losing too much." Speaking of this, he looked at Yu Shang, "Since he said that the world is business, can you buy people except food?"
Yu Shang shook his head helplessly: "The general is joking. People are not dead, so they can't be transported."
The man Chi obviously knew that he just said casually, kicked the table, and said hatefully: "What's the credit? What's the consequence? The king has received all the scolding of the king until now. Instead, he only exaggerated the prince and said that he was stable in guarding the back." At this point, he glanced at the left and right, and the left and right guards immediately withdrew.
The man Chi took a step forward and whispered to Shang.
"The third prince said, in the words of the Daxia people, we are all making wedding dresses for the eldest prince."
What does it mean is that the third prince is not satisfied? He even became interested in the status of the eldest prince? That man was really as expected. Yu Shang sighed in his heart, his expression was not obvious, and nodded, "In the words of the people of Daxia, this is true for the eldest prince. He is the eldest son, and you all have to match him."
The man Chi cursed and sweared, "You have been a Daxia person for a long time, and you don't know our rules anymore? Whoever has the strength is the king!"
Yu Shang reached out and touched his face: "Actually, I don't know who I am from, half Daxia, half Xiliang, and then I'm not a human." After a thankful sentence, he smiled and said, "General, don't be upset, I'm here to do this rule business this time."
The man Aka was stunned for a moment and didn't understand, and asked, "What business?"
