It’s not that he is playful, Mu Ya has long wanted to invite Liu Chengzong to Dajian Lu. He said that there are thirteen pot houses in Da Jian Lu, and each pot house has a young beauty as the shopkeeper.
Liu Chengzong was not moved.
But Muya thought this was because her words were too empty, so she added an adjective. How beautiful are those young and beautiful shopkeepers? There are thirteen Guozhuangs, and each Guozhuang has a Ming Dynasty scholar who was obsessed with the shopkeepers and never left. Sure enough, Liu Shizi was moved, and ordered his uncle to send troops to attack the arrow furnace on the spot. He took away all the warriors guarding the Guozhuang, and no one was allowed to leave!
Although this seems to be treating Changhe West as his own territory, Muya doesn't care. There is no business in making arrow stoves this season.
There were only poor scholars who came to visit Sichuan and settled businessmen. Liu Chengzong could do whatever he wanted, it didn't matter.
Because he was finally able to confirm that Liu Chengzong indeed lacked interest in annexing him.
After confirming this, Muya can proceed with the next step of planning, which is to find a way to get Liu Chengzong to invest in Dajianlu's B&B.
Share is an old word. When several shares are put together, it is a partnership. In commercial activities, the shares are divided according to different capitals.
On the way to build the Arrow Stove, Muya told the local tribesmen about his plan, and those old subordinates who had been loyal for generations were all upset.
An old household who has experienced the competition for the toast market on both sides of the Dadu River said: "Master, this is absolutely impossible to do. The Marshal's Mansion is powerful in Qinghai Duokang, has strong capital, and has settled in Dajian Lu. How can we still have the business of our thirteen pot houses?
!"
Muya nodded very seriously: "Yes, there are only so many customers. If there are more restaurants, the customers will be divided and the income will inevitably decrease."
When the old man heard this, he understood very well, so he had no choice but to think about it outside of business and asked: "Is this the purpose of paying tribute to the Marshal's Mansion to ensure peace?"
This idea is normal. After all, Muya has tested Liu Chengzong a lot during this period, and found that the commander really lacks interest in Changhe West. He is not a greedy person, but is just short of food.
But the old man followed up and said: "If you want to pay tribute, it is better to give gold and silver than to let the general enter and make the arrow furnace. If the general has no intention of swallowing the arrow furnace, the Han people say that wealth and silk move people's hearts. See
Furnace City Mall may not be that interesting anymore."
Muya shook her head first, and then her brows grew happy: "Isn't this a good thing?"
The old man was dumbfounded: "Master, you didn't join the gang like that!"
Unexpectedly, Mu Ya waved her hand: "What kind of team do you want to join? Let me ask you, how big is Changhe West? How much does the thirteen pot houses earn in a year?"
This was not a good deal for the ordinary household. He muttered to the side: "One less cow and one sheep were slaughtered in one day, and three more were slaughtered..."
"Okay, you don't know these things, I'll ask you again." Mu Ya asked: "How big is Liu Shuai's family fortune?"
Even Chang Hexi's income could not be calculated clearly. How could he know how big Liu Shizi's family fortune was? So he simply ignored it this time and lowered his head and said: "Master, my subordinate is stupid."
"Don't be stupid, the commander stretched out his hand, and the money leaking out from his fingers is greater than my family's annual business of less than 10,000 taels. If he wants to build an arrow furnace, I can't help but ask for it."
There was ambition in Muya's eyes, and he said: "I will never be able to defeat King Mu in this life, nor can I defeat the Shen family and the Leng family. The market will always be east of the river, and it will never expand to the west of the river. Do you think I look like a toast?"<
/p>
"I'm like a big shopkeeper who has been doing small business in Hexi for generations, giving people a room to cook and cook."
"Let him take half of it, which is several thousand taels of silver a year. Compared with the huge expenses of the Marshal's Mansion, does he value this money?"
Mu Ya asked and answered herself, wagging her index finger on the horse and said: "I don't like it. Taking advantage of the commander's power, can't we bring the market to Dajian Lu? When the market comes, even if the money is divided, the profit will be the same."
Much more than now."
Tu Baihu didn't speak for a long time, and asked quietly: "When did the master have this idea?"
Mu Ya didn't say anything. The idea of pulling Liu Chengzong into a stake in the arrow furnace came about when she and Liu Chengzong were hunting together.
It's a bit funny to say that although she was born into a chieftain family, Muya is not familiar with martial arts and cannot fight.
His father knew the art of war, and the dream of two generations of chieftains in Changhexi was to conquer Shenbian Lengbian and seize the tea and horse market.
So he spent all his time learning Chinese, Shaanxi dialect, Sichuan dialect, Confucianism, arithmetic and tea-horse trade.
If all goes well, when he succeeds to the throne of chieftain, the tea horse market should have been set in Changhexi, and all his talents should be carried forward, making Changhexi the most dazzling chieftain territory in the southwest.
It's a pity that my father failed to destroy the Shen Leng family. He prepared for his whole life, fought a battle, and lost to a river. He made an oath against his will that the market will remain unchanged on the other side for eternity.
Mu Ya, who didn't know much about military affairs, discovered that Liu Chengzong's army had a large gun used by two people, which could shoot two to three hundred paces.
This distance means that when the Dadu River does not rise, the defenders on the other side cannot stop the troops of the Qinghai Marshal's Mansion.
It's just that Mu Ya never expected that he was wrong about Liu Chengzong's desire.
Walking southeast from Luhuo, the surroundings are densely populated, and the wind is getting stronger and stronger. The road is relatively flat, except when we reach Zheduo Mountain, just like the name of the mountain, it is winding and winding, so we have to stay on the mountain for one night.<
/p>
As he approached Dajianlu, there were fewer and fewer residential houses and more shops around him. Liu Chengzong watched as he walked.
Along the way, the people saw soldiers and horses entering Furnace City, and hurriedly hid by the roadside. There were not many people, mainly monks wearing red cloth, red scarves, and red singlets.
There are also men and women who play in the market, wearing rough clothes made of trousers and shoes and socks made of trousers. Both men and women wear skirts without trousers.
When Mu Ya saw Liu Chengzong frowning when he saw many monks, he introduced: "There are many monks in Lucheng. There are four main reasons. One is that Tibet sent people to work in the furnace, the other is that King Baili expelled the monks, and the third is that Guozhuang in Lucheng is...
The guest provides free accommodation, Sima... because of the handsome man."
Liu Chengzong frowned and said, "What does it have to do with me?"
Muya chuckled lightly: "The general is raising troops in the northwest, and the northeast is the Songpan Grassland. Naturally, the monks can only run to the southeast, and if they run further, they can only run into the Han Dynasty. Many of them have no ultimatum and can only stay in Hearth City." "Why don't they run to Lijiang?"
"Lijiang?" When Muya heard this, she laughed even harder and shook her head and said: "The commander-in-chief doesn't know something. King Mutian used to tolerate monks, but now he only allows white sect monks to preach. If the people want to become monks of the yellow sect,
We will cut off the heads and hands of these children in public, and ask their parents to carry their corpses around the public."
Muya said, observing Liu Chengzong's expression, and then nodded heavily and stated: "The Marshal is right. You are the most tolerant leader in this land towards the Yellow Sect monks. The Marshal's Mansion in Qinghai is the place with the most freedom of religion." Liu Chengzong thought these words were strange at first, and even made him think that Mu Ya was speaking sarcastically.
But after thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the case.
Needless to say, the missing Dunyue Dorje was a staunch opponent of various religions. Zangba Khan in Tibet was also a staunch anti-Huang Jiao. Together with King Mutian in the south, they would not be lenient in expelling the Yellow Jiao.
Directly adopt the method of physical destruction.
As for Liu Chengzong, in his territory, everything went from the Innocent Old Mother to Maitreya Buddha, from Erlang Shen to Emperor Zhenwu, from the elimination of slaves to the elimination of the imperial court, and even the Pickle God Sect and the Donkey Meat Burning Sect.
Various faiths are flourishing, and between the two prefectures of Xikang there is a Yellow Sect master from all Qinghai and Mongolia who is good at white wolves with empty hands.
Liu Shishi was full of doubts, how the hell did I become the last defender of religious freedom from Qinghai to Uzbekistan?
Walking to Guozhuang near Furnace City, the Changhe Xifanmen had been waiting for a long time, just waiting for the soldiers and horses to come, and the Banmu dressed in silk and satin clothes presented Hada.
Liu Chengzong looked at the hada again and again, and felt a little dissatisfied. Muya was trembling, thinking that he had done something wrong. When he got closer, he heard him whispering to the guard: "The Weaving Bureau of the Marshal's Mansion is not good, and it is not sold here.
, next year, next year this will have to bear the label of the Weaving Bureau."
Immediately afterwards, the hostesses of the thirteen pot houses came with their entourage to congratulate Mu Ya.
It’s the Chinese New Year. According to the custom here, the owner of the Guozhuang will go to Tusi Guanzhai in the west of Changhe River to congratulate the chief on the first day of the year. People dance around the Guozhuang to pray for blessings.
Liu Chengzong was invited to the official village and saw the thirteen female shopkeepers of Dajianlu, which were different from what he imagined.
The female shopkeepers are all very beautiful. They all seem to have a good background. They are cleanly dressed and all wear Shu brocade robes. However, the jewelry they wear is different from that of the noble women of Xifan. They all wear very light jewelry.
, capable and manly.
Liu Chengzong felt that if a girl has such a bearing and dresses like this, there is no one who is ugly.
"How are you, handsome? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
At the head of the Guozhuang, Muya said proudly: "The Ajias of the thirteen Guozhuangs in Dajianlu are all beauties."
Liu Chengzong nodded, looked at the female shopkeepers sitting next to the official village, and asked Mu Ya: "They are all barbarian girls, why are all the shopkeepers of Guozhuang women?"
"Most of them are, there are two Han women." Mu Ya said with a sly smile and said: "Conveniently, the commander has also seen Guozhuang, and they are all grand and spacious. Before coming here, the commander must have regarded Guozhuang as a Han country.
A restaurant?"
As Liu Chengzong nodded, Muya waved her hand and said: "No, Marshal, please remember that before entering Lucheng, I said that there are four reasons for the large number of monks. No matter where the guests come from, they can stay in Guozhuang. They don't need tsampa and rice."
It's up to the boss to eat, as long as he helps with the work when trade picks up."
Liu Chengzong nodded slowly and motioned for Muya to continue.
"Only eleven of the people in Lucheng are farmers, twelve are workers, one is a soldier, and the rest are engaged in business. Barbarian men have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and they know very little about Han customs, language and business matters.
Ajia is the owner of the pot store and an intermediary on the tea-horse trade route."
Muya called the female shopkeepers of Guozhuang Ajia and said: "There are many goods in the tea-horse trade, prices are different between the two parties, language barriers are different, and even the coins are different, so it is inevitable to encounter situations such as credit." p>
"The business of storing horses, goods, and tea leaves, but when Han merchants came here, direct transactions would inevitably lead to disputes. The tea merchants on both sides were noble people with good eyesight. In order to prevent them from arguing, Ajia came into being."
"The master of the Guozhuang chooses a smart girl from his family who is of good appearance and good appearance. Before the age of fifteen, he learns the Chinese language, customs and habits, is proficient in mathematics, and knows the prices of various goods. When he reaches the age of fifteen, he inherits the Guozhuang family business and becomes a merchant.
Translation, intermediary."
Liu Chengzong listened very carefully. This is a mature business model that has been established for four hundred years since the Yuan Dynasty. It has great reference and learning significance for the Juerwan market. He said: "They are brokers between merchants." p>
Broker is also an ancient word and is the common name for Yazi.
"Yes, they are brokers. They are used to seeing transactions in Guozhuang and can guarantee them. Over time, they can fix the price in the transaction."
Mu Ya said: "And they are all very wealthy. The tea merchants often trade thousands of bags of tea and hundreds of kilograms of cordyceps and fritillaries. After a deal is concluded, Ajia's income is four hundred and four."
Liu Chengzong suddenly realized that no wonder the costume jewelry of the Ajias were all top-grade. This profession indeed paid a considerable amount of money. The trade volume of the South Road Tea Horse was generally two to three million jins of tea. This value alone accounted for nearly 10% of the total. Thousands of catties of tea.
"Sigh, but now that the market is in the east of Hedong, the Ajias like me in Hearth City can only make money from Tibetan merchants' goods, and most of the profits are made by Leng Shen and the other two families on the other side."
Muya didn't say much on this matter, raised her eyebrows and said with a strange smile: "Barbarian women are the most affectionate, and the commander is so young. If you like anyone, just pick one, and we will make a marriage happen, and even the pot house will be given to you."
"Give me all the Guozhuang?"
But Mu Ya said as a matter of course: "Ajia has always recruited sons-in-law, and the north is the former daughter's country. If any of them has the good fortune to be taken over by the commander-in-chief, and everyone belongs to the commander-in-chief, then the pot farm will belong to the commander-in-chief. Don’t worry, I don’t dare accept the handsome commission.”
Liu Chengzong rubbed his chin, his eyes wandering among the Ajias, and seeing each of the barbarian girls smiling, he turned around and asked seriously: "Is anyone familiar with the Mongolian language?"
Mu Ya scratched the top of her head like a giant monkey, looking around for help. She couldn't help but laugh when she saw Fan Sanlang standing beside him with a knife.
Sanlangguang wanted to give Liu Chengzong a thumbs up: She deserves to be accompanied by Liu Chengzong to see the beauty!
Muya's head was buzzing and her heart was speaking Mongolian. This handsome man's hobby... is a bit weird!
He shook his head helplessly: "Commander, if you understand Mongolian language, I'm afraid you have to find someone in the east of the river. I'm just a fan, and the Tatars are on the other side."
Liu Chengzong nodded to express his understanding: "You can cultivate it."
"Then..." Mu Ya looked at the Ajias sitting in the hall, with a bitter look on her face: "Then I will train them."
Seeing that he agreed, Liu Chengzong was very happy. Hada also accepted it, and Ajia also saw it. He felt that it was time to serve the main course, and rubbed his hands excitedly and said: "Let's get started, why are you standing there, hurry up and get those things that Ajia has eaten." Charmed scholars, please come out, I came to Hearth City just for this matter!"
