The porcelain rooster stood up and said: "Prefect, although our Meishan Mountain is far away, we are transformed with King Mu and we owe the emperor's favor. Today's benevolence can be cultivated even if it is an inch of grass. Since it is dedicated to the official family, our Shijia Porcelain Workshop will

There is no reason to collect money, so I still hope that the eunuch will comply."

Huh? The porcelain rooster is no longer porcelain? It suddenly became politically correct, and it was hard for Su You to adapt.

Zhizhou twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Historical official said this out of love for the king. But officials are kind and if they dare to do this, I will be reprimanded."

After saying that, he added: "But I present the big rose-red vase, and when the inner life comes, you and I can wait patiently."

The auction ended here, and the banquet was next. The prefect Tongpan had a few drinks and left immediately.

Everyone bowed to see each other off, turned around, and the Shuyuan Tower burst into noise.

"Shi Gong, how many porcelains like Shi Gong do you have in your shop? I, Jiazhou Porcelain Shop, are on the same level as Shi Gong! Let me have two sets with my little brother to add to the facade..."

"Wait a minute! Your Jiazhou porcelain shop is on the same river, but my Yizhou porcelain shop is not? Mr. Shi, these are all waters from the same river. You have to deal with it..."

This is based on regional nostalgia.

"Mr. Cheng, haha, my wise nephew has always taken care of my family in Qingshen, and I am loved by him. Yongchunlu, "Du Gongbu Ji" is collected at home. This is the letter he asked me to bring to you, this "Du Gongbu Collection".

"Collection of the Ministry of Industry", "Notes on Three Families of Historical Records", you see..."

This is in exchange for taking care of Cheng Jun's future. The person who can get Yongchunlu and "Du Gongbu Ji" in advance is either Cheng Jun's boss or a good friend.

"Hahaha, Brother Su, it's been a long time! It's been a while since we said goodbye to Wanli Bridge, right? Still so healthy! I heard that Brother Su went to Jianmen? I passed through Chengdu without entering, so I'm a little angry...

...Today I am here to question my guilt! Come, come, look at the picture book of the Houshu Palace that my brother brought to you..."

This friendship is very clever, it is indeed a scholar versus a scholar.

Su You was secretly amused by the various situations, and took Shi Wei to Atunmi's place to chat with Cheap Sister.

Atunmi saw that Shi Wei was extremely cute. Then he saw a belt hanging on her waist. There were several thin chains hanging on the belt. What hung on it were not the ordinary things used by girls in the Song Dynasty, but fire sickles and daggers.

, Yin Nang, full of vitality, quite similar to his own, I couldn't help but be overjoyed: "This is your little daughter-in-law? Come here quickly and let me have a look."

After saying that, he took off the golden hairpin from his arm and put it around Shi Wei's wrist. He looked at Su You sideways and said, "I thought you scholars in the Song Dynasty must be looking for a delicate official lady. Xiao You has a good eye!"

It's good to be close to you! But I didn't dare to say this, so I smiled and said: "Sister, this is Shi Wei. Her family is originally from a family of generals. In terms of seniority, she is a big aunt."

"Ah? Hahahahaha... the seniority of you Han people is really interesting!"

"Weier, this is Sister Adun of the Erlin Department. She is a general conferred by me during the Great Song Dynasty."

Shi Wei's big eyes suddenly lit up: "Sister General? Do you also know martial arts?"

Atunmi nodded his head: "What a general relies on is not martial arts, but the wisdom of governing. Wisdom, trust, benevolence, bravery and strictness, there is no such thing as martial arts."

"But if ordinary people want to become a general, they must first go through the ranks of Si Ge, Xiao Lieutenant, and Lang Guan. Therefore, if you don't have martial arts, you won't be able to pass the first level. The calluses on your hands mean that your martial arts skills should be good. I'll wait for you.

Now that you have become a general, let Xiao Youtiao be your military advisor! His head is more useful than ours!"

Shi Wei nodded: "Well, Brother Xiaoyou is very smart!"

Atunmi smiled and said, "When will you arrive at the Erlin Department? My sister will take you hunting! Can you shoot a crossbow?"

"The Song Dynasty does not allow the use of crossbows, but I can shoot a bow!"

Since Shi Wei entered the building, she didn't dare to say anything in the crowd of officials and literati. Now she met Atunmi, a Han woman who didn't expect that there were martial arts practitioners in the mainland, a general who didn't expect that there were women in Jisi Prefecture, and a large number of them.

The two girls suddenly chatted happily.

The merchants from the Erlin Department were all dealing with Master Fan. Su You looked around and saw that the merchants from Yizhou had looked this way several times before, so he went over to say hello to him.

Seeing Su You coming, the Yizhou businessman exchanged a few words with others, then came over and bowed: "Last time, I was in a hurry and didn't mention my name. The villain Xue Zhong was rescued by the young master. I will never forget this kindness."

.”

Su You waved his hand: "Where do you start talking about this? The last time I bought your goods at a low price, I felt really bad about it, so I used a folding knife to offset it. Why did the statement change?"

Xue Zhong said: "The young master doesn't know something. Last time, the house leaked and it rained all night long. After he returned home in embarrassment, he discovered that his mother was seriously ill. Several of his companions discussed it and first used the two hundred guans given by the young master to help. Then

I just snatched my mother back from the Prince of Hell. The abbot of Daci Temple saw the folding knife you gave him and said it was not an ordinary item, so he took it for five hundred dollars. Therefore, during the last trip to Meizhou, the family did not suffer any loss.

, this is all the kindness of the young master, the villain only dares to publicize it, never dare to hide it from the young master."

Su You smiled and said: "I see, is your mother getting better?"

Xue Zhong was still frightened: "I'm already fine. When my mother heard about the young master, she asked me to come to Meizhou to express her gratitude. Actually, I'm here not for trading goods, it's just a coincidence."

Su You smiled and said: "No wonder you sold bamboo and wood last time, but this time you sold cloth."

Xue Zhong said with a smile: "Young master is just making fun of me, businessmen are chasing profits, and villains come and go in different ways. In fact, what is profitable is what I sell."

Su You said: "Well, then you must be proficient in the waterway?"

Xue Zhong said: "I dare not say anything else. I am familiar with running this road from Kuimen to Jianmen. On the other roads, even if I am not familiar with it, there are still friends who are familiar with it."

Su You nodded: "Are you familiar with the Lishui area?"

Xue Zhong hiccuped and said, "I'm really not familiar with this. In that barbaric land, the trade routes have always been poor. You can take that road through Yazhou and into Tubo, but it's difficult and dangerous along the way. I heard that there are still barbarians who catch passing merchants and often kill them.

Even if you want to sacrifice to heaven, you still have to serve your mother and don’t dare to take risks in those places.”

Su You said: "Okay, then you can tell me about the scenery along the way from Kuimen to Jianmen."

Xue Zhong smiled and said: "When it comes to this, I know it very well. Kuimen is an important place out of Sichuan, and the key is salt. It radiates from Jinghu Lake, and the Wu people mostly use grain, silk and hemp, transported in large round-bottomed ships, in exchange for

Salt from Sichuan."

"Once the Three Gorges is cut off, Kuiyan will not arrive for ten days, and the grain, silk and hemp there will be piled up like mountains. This shows the prosperity of the river trade routes."

"Then we go up to Luzhou. We basically rely on salt and silk as our bulk along the way. It is not until we pass Jiazhou that we enter a land of abundant products. The business road from Jiazhou to Chengdu is full of rare treasures. Recently, merchants have flocked to Meizhou.

I came here just for the five-color cloth, dragon brain books, jade, porcelain and fine wine, and other good products."

"After passing Chengdu Prefecture, go up Jianmen and enter Hanzhong, then you can reach the Central Plains. However, now that Xixia is harassing, the bulk of the food going there is grain and grass. We in Sichuan produce salt ourselves, and it is not expensive, so it is not uncommon to use salt.

, so it was mostly because of the imperial court's ban, and merchants were reluctant to go. Not to mention the difficulty of the journey, there wasn't much profit to be made. The only thing worth making the trip is the copper coin itself."

What a big copper coin you are! Why, all of it was made into copperware for you gang of profiteers. I have hardly seen any copper coins in Meizhou!

Su You asked a lot more details, as well as the recent policy trends in Yizhou, and said, "Listening to Brother Xue's words, Su You is like traveling thousands of miles and reading a thousand books. After talking for so long, I have delayed Brother Xue.

Negotiating business. If Brother Xue needs any Meishan products, although Su You is a native of Jiangqing, he can talk to several companies."

Xue Zhong offered his hand and said: "My family has encountered major events one after another. This time I came here not for business, and I didn't bring anyone with me. I have ten pieces of cotton, and my bag is already empty."

Su You thought for a moment: "It's too noisy here. Come with me and I'll show you something."

Asking Adunmi to keep an eye on Shi Wei, Su You led Li Zhong downstairs and all the way to the wine shop.

People in the city have gone out to watch the excitement, and the streets are deserted.

When he came to Qufang, Su You took out a dustpan of white pellets and said, "Listening to what you said, taking this to Yizhou for me is just a piece of cake."

Xue Zhong looked at those pellets: "What are these? It looks a bit like the floating balls sold on the dock. Is it related to wine?"
