Chapter 1023: Exploring the Kingdom of Shu

The steward smiled and nodded, "Thanks to the escort of Zhao Jiajun, otherwise we would not have dared to come to Luoyang. I heard that outside Yuzhou, bandits are rampant. I am a big treasure. With only a small number of people, I dare not go far."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said: "The imperial court is already sending troops to suppress the bandits. I think it won't be long before everyone entering and leaving Luoyang will be as safe as entering and leaving Yuzhou."

The steward smiled and did not answer the question. He asked Zhao Hanzhang with interest, "Young lady, you want to buy some goods? I don't know what kind of goods you are interested in. In addition to peppercorns, I also have silks, Sichuan brocades, and fine linen from Shu.

.”

Zhao Hanzhang: "Are you from Shu?"

The manager smiled and said so.

Zhao Hanzhang took a look at the size of their convoy, nodded and said: "I am somewhat interested. I also know a businessman from Shu, named Zhu Chuan."

The steward was stunned for a moment and then said: "Young masters? That is a wealthy businessman."

He smiled and stuffed the handful of peppercorns into the bag, then tied the bag and closed the box without recommending it to Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang pinched the two peppercorns in his hand and asked, "Aren't you going to sell it to me?"

"Girl, don't look for petty pleasures. Since you know all the gentlemen, you will not be short of these things. Where can you buy my goods?"

"Well, this year they just started fighting in the Central Plains, and you also started fighting outside. The King of Shu wiped out Prefect Qiao and Prefect Wen in one fell swoop. Although the King of Shu was very bad, every time there was a war, thieves would run amok and refugees would flee."

The steward laughed and said jokingly: "Apart from bandits, this Si Yong is not a group of peasants dying of hunger. How dare you pass by Yongzhou? I would rather avoid Jingzhou and Yuzhou than take the Yongzhou road."

"

"Is this order invalid only this time, or will it always be invalid?"

The steward was quite talkative. As the team quickly moved back, a soldier came over with a piece of paper and said, "It's not even half an hour until he arrives. Come over and write down a list of reports."

And it's tax-free... That's a way to get a bad impression of the Luoyang County magistrate. Even if it's just to have a bad relationship with the Luoyang County magistrate, you can still miss it.

After hearing what you said, the steward perked up and said with a smile: "Look at the handsome appearance of the man, he may be more interested in Shu brocade. You only have a few dull-colored Shu brocades. This weaver is truly the only one in the world."

If you want to take a look?"

The soldier curled his lips and said, "What are you afraid of? You're robbing them again. If you don't have food and burlap, you can retreat from the city duty-free, and there's no special exit channel, you'll have to queue up."

The manager knew how to write, and the soldier simply gave me a template, "Just like that, just follow it, there are not many people from where they come from, and they bring many cars, many horses, mules, cattle, etc."

I have to write a vague list of goods that I haven’t brought yet.”

You ask, "What does the manager think of that list?"

But the impression Yongzhou gave to Shu merchants was too tragic. This was a food shortage, a food shortage, or a food shortage that had lasted for several years. Cannibalism has become the norm outside. In my opinion, the people who are still alive today cannot be called

As a human being, I would pass by Yongzhou, let alone do business with us.

"From Shu to Luoyang, it's not that far away from Jingzhou to Yuzhou. It's like going directly from Liangzhou to Yongzhou and then retreating to Luoyang."

Zeng Yue glanced at me and shook his head slightly, thinking that the soldiers in the city still need to practice!

We have brought a lot of things, and we know that small quantities of goods are leaving Luoyang, so we naturally hope to find a suitable buyer as soon as possible to sell the things.

The soldier bit his finger excitedly, and it took him a while to suppress the scream in his heart. After walking for a long time, he remembered that I wanted to send an order to the last caravan.

Was Wang Cheng dismissed from office because of that?

You ask: "The road to Shu is difficult. Will it be difficult for their caravan to get out?"

"It's just a matter of difficulty. It's just a matter of begging for food. Now the worst places for business are not Jiangnan and Yuzhou," the steward said with a smile, "If the young general can clear out all the bandits along the way, there may be another Luoyang in the future.

"

As soon as Si Yongjing waited for the soldiers to leave, she came over to look at the form I wanted to fill out. She glanced at the demonstration form and nodded slightly. The one Zhao Zheng made was wrong, and it saved me a lot of effort.

It's natural to be in charge of things.

I turned around silently, my face turned red with shame, and walked past Zhao Hanzhang to find the manager of the previous house.

After the soldier finished giving the necessary instructions, he took the order and was about to go to a convoy. He turned around and saw Zhao Hanzhang standing behind him. His eyes widened and he was about to salute, but Si Yongjing shook his head at me.

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at the torch and shook his head, "It's already dark. Doesn't looking at Shu Brocade at this time cover up its youth? Holding the torch, it will be even more heartbreaking if a spark accidentally falls. It's like tomorrow. You also want to see them.

The goods brought.”

However, according to the old city entry system, even if your city gate is open at seventeen o'clock a day, it will take two or eight days for such a small convoy to leave the city.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Today is the same as in the past. Yongzhou is now managed by the governor Fu. After hearing that I am fair and strict and care for the people, I will definitely allow such a thing to happen again."

The soldier looked at you, then turned to look at the steward, endured it silently, and turned to leave.

But I have been holding back my words, what should I do? I want to find someone to talk to, ah ah ah, I just saw the young general up close!

Si Yongjing: "Is there another war in Shu? You heard that the king of Shu loves the people, how could you allow thieves to run rampant in Shu?"

"Here he comes, his family's fleet alone has forty-six vehicles. He carries the most goods among this group. He also has a lot of peppercorns in his hand. Since the girl is familiar with him, she can go to him."

The young general also saw me and shook his head at me.

Zhao Hanzhang asked me casually about what he had seen along the way, "Were they protected by Zhao's army from Shu to Xiping, and did they encounter no bandits on the way?"

Soldier: "As a general question, can I bring any food or burlap?"

When the steward heard this, he felt a little moved in his heart and asked: "What if I only bring a part of it? Do the goods have to be separated? Or can't they all go through a special channel?"

The steward hurriedly said: "Do you have it? Do you have it? Those are all delicate things of yours."

The soldier glanced at me and said, "The food and burlap that are carried, if the volume reaches one-eighth of the cargo carried, are all transported through the special passage at the back."

Zhao Hanzhang also insisted that I agree with what he said, but when I persisted, he changed the topic.

Zhao Hanzhang: "This year not many refugees from Shu rushed into the Jiangnan area of ​​Jingzhou."

"Well, I've encountered them many times. Most of them were in Shu and Jingzhou. Once they retreated to Yuzhou, they would be gone."

The soldier said: "The order issued by the imperial court will not be effective this year or next year. If it has not been changed before, the imperial court will change it again."

The steward decided in his mind that if the trip to Luoyang went well, he would bring a few carts of grain or burlap with him in the queue last time to avoid queuing for such a long time.

Si Yongjing shook her head and said: "It's just acquaintance, it's considered familiarity."

"Young masters are also coming to Luoyang this time?"
