Animals have only two major pursuits in their lives, one is food, and the other is offspring. Humans are also a kind of animal, and naturally cannot do without these two aspects. However, humans are obsessed with various things such as thoughts, etiquette, laws, and morals.
Confinement cannot be as casual as animals in the matter of passing on the family line. However, it cannot be said that people do not have such needs.
Since Su Ren came to Dahan, he spent more than half of his time traveling around. Even after marrying Dong Qian and Leng Yue, he still didn't spend as much time at home as he did outside. Sometimes, Su Ren felt that he was very different from those ascetics.
For example, compared to the dignitaries in Chang'an City, they can be said to be extremely diligent. While they are enjoying themselves with their lovely wives and concubines, they are suffering in Lingnan, beyond the Great Wall and in the Western Regions. How can this be justified?
After arriving in Jincheng, the nerves that had been tense for a year were completely relaxed. Relaxation would inevitably lead to him doing some outrageous things. Although these things may not even be considered a big deal in the eyes of others, Su Ren is not a pure ancient. His
He still retained the idea of monogamy in his bones. If Leng Yue had not had the possibility of remarrying, he would never have attacked Leng Yue.
Su Ren swallowed awkwardly to relieve the dry pain in his throat: "You, why are you here? Why didn't you see me when you entered the city yesterday?"
Lu Yi giggled and looked at Su Ren and smiled: "Why, you are so embarrassed? Have you forgotten me after not seeing me for several years? It doesn't matter if you forget me, just don't forget you and your son!"
Su Ren quickly explained: "No, I just feel a little surprised! If you don't stay well in Dujiangyan, why are you here?"
"I miss you!" Lu Yi said shyly, leaning against Su Ren.
Su Ren took advantage of the situation and took Lu Yi into his arms: "You are teasing me, believe it or not, I will take you right now..."
"Hmph! That's not what you said last night. You were holding Dong Qian, who was still calling you your family, and you didn't even think about me."
"Ahem! Hahaha, it's not surprising that there are too many women calling her by the wrong name, so I have always advocated that men should only marry one wife, the one they like the most. Firstly, it will avoid the unrest at home, and secondly, it will also avoid that.
Such an embarrassment.”
"You mean I made your family uneasy?" Lu Yi looked at Su Ren, tears welling up in his eyes.
Lu Yi is only twenty-four years old this year. Although she is already the mother of a seven-year-old child, she is still the most beautiful woman in terms of figure and appearance. The way the pear blossoms are waiting for the rain makes people look pitiful and touching at the same time.
Su Ren hugged Lu Yi tightly in his arms: "That's what you think. I mean, you are a good woman, and she is my good woman! Come, let's study the family affairs in depth."
Su Ren pulled Lu Yi to the couch repeatedly. The two of them didn't want to see the burning fire. Lu Yi pushed back half-heartedly. In a short time, Su Ren stripped her naked and rolled her into the bed, where she went to study the affairs of the family in depth.
No one came to disturb Su Ren. Firstly, they saw Lu Yi coming, and secondly, Su Ren was really tired. In the Western Region for more than a year, Su Ren was careful in everything, maintaining a high degree of vigilance at all times, and could
The successful achievement of the goal was partly due to chance, but the most important thing was Su Ren's foresight and fortification at every step, using every layer of tactics. From this point of view, there really was no one in the entire Han Dynasty who could replace Su Ren.
At three o'clock in the morning, Su Ren was lying on the couch and humming, but Lu Yi had already put on his clothes and kissed Su Ren on the face with a smile: "Not bad, good, keep it up!"
Su Ren sighed: "It's over, I can't get up today!"
Lu Yi said: "You brought this on yourself. You didn't visit us for such a long time. You didn't care whether we asked or not, and you weren't afraid that we would starve to death!"
Su Ren smiled miserably: "Can you starve to death? You have such a big industry in Yuanshan County, and you have Wenshui accounts and Shu County's daily care. Let alone starve to death, you can't live without nourishment!"
"You still have the nerve to say that I get angry when you mention Yuan Shan. Zhou Zhong and the others are becoming more and more outrageous. The things they send are decreasing each time. In the past year or so, there has been nothing. Ask them what they have done
Just for various reasons, I even went to Wonsan specifically to see them, and it seems that they are not doing very well, what is going on?"
Su Ren breathed a sigh of relief and got up: "This cannot be blamed on Zhou Zhong and the others. The root cause lies with the Qiang people. When I left, the war between the Qiang people had already started. Zhou Zhong and the others followed my plan and allowed the Qiang people to free themselves.
We have been killing each other for almost ten years, and almost all the Qiang people have died. I have encountered many of them in the Western Regions! Without the Qiang people, the trade route will naturally be useless. Only the Yelang Kingdom is left, and
Yelang is also following in the footsteps of the Qiang people, so naturally there are fewer and fewer of them."
"Ah! So you did it on purpose?"
Su Ren laughed twice: "It's true that I did it on purpose. The most important thing is you. You haven't thought about expanding business routes for ten years? Whether you are heading west into the Western Regions or heading south through the forest, you will have opportunities.
You will live on the little things you have in front of you. It seems that life has improved but the energy in you has been worn away! This is not a good sign, sooner or later you will still starve to death!"
"That's why I'm here!" Lu Yi winked playfully.
"Are you here to do business in the Western Regions?" Su Renyi stood up and said, "You're crazy! Where is the Western Regions? You, a woman, don't want to die? I've always narrowly escaped death, but you have such courage.
, said, who instigated it! I will chop him alive for inciting my woman to take risks!"
Lu Yi was very impressed by Su Ren's words. He pulled the quilt over and put it on Su Ren: "No one instigated me, I came here on my own. Zhou Zhong and my father both advised me, but I didn't listen. Since I am your woman
, what do I have to fear from you in the Western Region?"
Su Ren hugged Lu Yi into his arms and sighed: "You are a strong person. Tell me, how many goods did you bring this time? If it is not much, sell it to those Han merchants here. Don't worry, they will definitely
I’ll give you a high price!”
Lu Yi smiled like a little woman: "How dare they refuse to pay a high price? My man is the ancestor of merchants in the world! However, I still want to go to Yumen. The goods are not a big deal, but the future of the people is more important! Now with the help of
With your protection, we won’t have to worry about food and clothing. Once..., no one can say, right?"
"What? The athlete is disobedient?"
"Hey!" Lu Yi sighed: "Since I went to your academy, I can see that this son was born in vain!"
"Nonsense! Whoever has the son will have the son. If you dare to be unfilial, I will break his legs first!"
"Haha, how dare you? I am now the Prince Consort, and I am protected by your Dong Qian. Last time I went to Sukang, Chang'an to complain to me, and asked me to take Jian'er back."
"Hahaha, what a brat!"
After chatting for a while, Lu Yi helped Su Ren get dressed, washed his face, and ate again, and then the two of them came out of the room. Lu Yi spent a lot of money this time and actually brought more than a hundred cars.
According to her, the cargo in the car was just to explore the road this time. If everything goes well, the Western Region trade route will become the main trade route in Dujiangyan, Yuanshan and even Wenshui in the future. As for other Han merchants, they can just defeat them.
Lu Yi said so boldly that Su Ren just stood beside him and smiled, saying hello to some acquaintances. Abang has gotten older and has become much calmer. He is completely different from the stupid young man back then.
This time, he was assigned by the Bo tribe leader, Lu Yi’s father Ayi Agricultural Committee, to participate in this business trip as Lu Yi’s deputy. Therefore, in many cases, Abang was the real leader of this caravan.
The composition of this caravan is very mixed. There are Bo people, people from Yuanshan, and some Wenshui people who have become rich. They are basically small businessmen. They have no courage to open up business routes, and they are not qualified to enter the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce. They can only
Taking risks in this way was more of a gamble than a risk. Su Ren discovered that apart from the goods and the shopkeepers, there were no guards. This group of people were really ignorant and fearless.
Accompanied by Lu Yi, Su Ren walked around the caravan, then called a few responsible people over and glanced at everyone: "I won't say anything else, this only happens once!" Lu Yi
Just as she was about to speak, Su Ren glared at her: "Shut up! I said it once, and if anyone dares to come next time, don't blame me for being rude!"
Seeing everyone lowering their heads, Su Ren sighed: "With so much cargo and no guards, do you think you are still in the Han Dynasty? The Western Region is a place where people can eat people. It is a miracle that you can reach Jincheng. I can guarantee you
You will definitely not be able to leave Ganliang Road, let alone go to Yumen! Therefore, I will tell Li Danghu that you will follow his army. When you arrive at Yumen, free people will buy your goods, and then someone will deliver them to you.
When you come back, whether you will live or die next time will depend on your luck! Did you all hear that?"
Some people nodded, some promised, and a group of small businessmen hesitated. Although they were reluctant in every way, they all knew that Su Ren's words could not be violated.
"Let me tell you one more thing. When I return to Chang'an, I will prepare to reorganize a chamber of commerce. This time, it is different from the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce. There is no need to open up business routes. As for what to do, we will know when the time comes. Anyone who is willing will send someone to follow me to Chang'an.
, of course, it will not continue to grow like the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce. The number of people in this chamber of commerce will be controlled. As for whether it can make money, I don’t know. Those who dare to fight will follow, and those who are unwilling will never force it. Having said that,
Until then, it’s all up to you!”
Everyone's eyes immediately lit up, and they all looked up at Su Ren, with golden light in their eyes, looking eager to give it a try. Many merchants immediately expressed their willingness, while some were still hesitant. Su Ren ignored them and took Lu Yi with him.
gone.
After returning to the house, Lu Yi couldn't wait to ask: "Are you really planning to re-establish a chamber of commerce? What are you going to do?"
Su Ren slapped Lu Yi on the butt: "Don't worry about men's affairs, it's better to think about how to give me another son!" (To be continued)
