Chapter six hundred and seventy-two, the long-awaited start to come out
Guo Jia's words made the pottery merchant dumbfounded.
Well, if you think about it carefully, since I met Guo Jia, it seems that every time I encounter some crisis, I will suddenly have a sudden flash of inspiration and come up with some invisible and unparalleled ways to solve various problems.
These things may seem surprising to Guo Jia, but the pottery merchant wanted to complain to him.
Brother, I am a time traveler. This is my privilege, okay? Is it strange?
But he could only rot in his stomach.
Regarding Tian Feng's idea, although Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and others did not believe it, in the end everyone made a tacit decision to monitor this person's movements as much as possible and make foolproof preparations without being discovered by Tian Feng.
A few days later, the school affairs office of the school affairs office heard back about the situation.
The Zhen family is located in Wuji County, Zhongshan. The eldest daughter Zhen Mi, who is in charge of the family business, will recently go to Qihe County under Pingyuan to negotiate a horse deal.
After inquiring about the news, the pottery merchant decided to meet the helmswoman of the Zhen family in person to see if he could negotiate the winter supplies for his 100,000 troops.
Of course, if the negotiation really doesn't go well, Tao Shang doesn't intend to use force. After all, he has the reputation of a gentleman and is a famous Taiping son in the Han Dynasty. If he forces a girl from his family, it will make the world laugh at him.
So the potter had no choice but to turn around and give her a sap.
Tao Shang first ordered Zhao Yun to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to the east. The soldiers and horses went eastward to conquer the counties of Qingzhou, forcing the governor of Pingyuan County to immediately gather soldiers from all over the country, huddle in the main city, reinforce the city defense, and just wait.
The potters came to attack.
As soon as Zhao Yun took action, there was a lot of commotion in Pingyuan County.
It is a pity that the pottery merchants did not want to attack Pingyuan County at all. By scaring the governor of Pingyuan County, the county below was basically a hollow gourd, allowing his side to roam freely.
After Zhao Yun's troops went to his main city, the pottery merchant led a group of trusted men and horses, pretending to be merchants, to Qihe County.
…
On this day, as we were about to arrive in Qihe County, suddenly the sky roared, dark clouds were gathering, and it was about to rain...
"It's hailing!" Everyone covered their heads with their hands and rushed forward.
Behind the potter, Xu Chu's head was hit by small hailstones and was covered in big bumps.
The tiger idiot bared his teeth and shouted angrily: "Damn it, hail suddenly fell in the clear day! Either there is a grievance or someone is trying to cause trouble!"
The potter was also confused by the report. Suddenly, he saw a young passerby wearing a hat in front of him waving at them vigorously, then pointing to his back, opening and closing his mouth, as if he was shouting something to them.
.
When Xu Chu saw the passerby, his eyes suddenly turned cold. He blocked the hail with his hands and gritted his teeth and said, "Great! Look, a certain family snatched that person's raincoat hat!"
The potter shouted at him: "You bastard, don't be rude! Don't you see that he is going to lead the way for us?"
The passer-by was indeed leading the way for them. After a group of people caught up with him, they saw the young man leading the pottery merchants to the foot of a mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there was a long and wide rock path with rocks blocking it.
, just right for hail shielding purposes.
The group of people walked in under the leadership of the passerby, only to see some people hiding inside. It looked like a caravan.
The pottery merchant turned over and dismounted, flicked the hail rain off his body, and then bowed to the man who was leading the way: "The weather is bad. Fortunately, this gentleman helped me. Otherwise, I'm afraid our group will have to eat a lot of food today."
It’s such a pain.”
The passerby took off the coir rain hat, revealing his long black hair, and turned to the pottery merchant with a smile that was as beautiful and bright as the bright moon in the sky.
"This little girl really doesn't deserve the title of sir. It's better to give it back to you, the true gentleman."
The pottery merchant was startled when he saw this.
"Are you a woman?"
It turned out to be a young woman wearing a coir raincoat, which obscured her appearance.
Her appearance is extremely beautiful, and she has the beauty of a classical woman, a beauty that is very intellectual and gentle, but underneath her dignity, there seems to be a trace of spirituality hidden.
Seeing the strange look in the pottery merchant's eyes, the woman smiled gently, revealing two beautiful dimples.
"Why, women can't go up the mountain or leave the house?"
The pottery merchant waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's not true, women are just like men, they can do anything... It's just that it's a little unsafe for you, a woman, to be alone in this barren mountain. Besides, you just mentioned us.
Aren't you afraid that we are bad people when you lead us here?"
The woman turned her finger and pointed at the other people taking shelter from the hail under the rock path, and said: "Who said I am alone? These are all my fellow travelers... As for luring you here to shelter from the rain, it is not easy for everyone when you are out, so why not
If we can help each other, we will naturally help each other."
Although her words were spoken plainly, both the temperament in which she spoke and the connotation in her words were extremely heart-wrenching.
The pottery merchant nodded and praised: "Young lady is open-minded and very courageous. It is really admirable."
The woman blinked and said, "After talking for a long time, sir, it seems you haven't thanked me yet!"
The pottery merchant suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "I blame my negligence for this matter. Thank you very much, Miss, for guiding me."
The woman showed her face and said, "Sir, you don't have to be polite."
The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
The woman smiled and said to Tao Shang: "May I ask this gentleman, what do you do when you lead so many people?"
The pottery merchant said calmly: "I'm going out to do business."
"what business?"
The pottery merchant touched the bridge of his tall nose and said, "We are engaged in the big business of transporting grain from the south to the north."
After hearing what the potter said, the people behind the woman showed disdain.
In these days of war and chaos, food is sometimes more valuable than gold.
In particular, the south has developed rapidly in recent years under the management of Xuzhou Tao, with its economy soaring and its grain production abundant. It can be said to be a land of abundance and a land of wealth.
Although there is a lot of grain, Tao's management is also very strict. Import and export matters are subject to extremely strict review. Grain from the south is transferred to Qingzhou and sold north. Those who can do this business are definitely not ordinary people.
Look at the appearance of these people... They can't even find a place to take shelter from the hail. They are so stupid that they don't look like they know how to dry food.
But the girl was the only one who did not doubt the potter.
She looked the pottery merchant up and down for a while and said, "Looking at his appearance and accent, he is indeed from the south... He should be from the south of the Yangtze River, right? The food there is very good."
The pottery merchant secretly praised the woman's careful observation.
The pottery merchant looked at the woman and the people behind him: "Where is the girl? What are you going to do? Going on an outing?"
When the woman heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and smiled.
"Sir, don't be joking. Who would come to this place for an outing in the deep mountains and wilderness? This little girl is also a businessman."
The potter suddenly said "Oh": "What kind of business does that girl do?"
The woman did not hide her secrets and said: "This little girl is originally from the north and is in the horse trading business."
The pottery merchant suddenly understood and said: "The business of selling horses? Those who can do this business must be extraordinary. The girl must have a good family, but for someone with such a rich family to come out and do the work herself, it is really admirable.
, He is truly a hero among women.”
When the woman heard this, she smiled bitterly for some unknown reason. It seemed that she had some unspeakable secrets.
When I was young, after the hail stopped, I saw a woman asking the potter: "May I ask, sir, where to discuss business?"
"Qihe."
The woman looked surprised: "What a coincidence? We are also going to Qihe."
The potter smiled and said: "The girl and I hit it off right away. Since we are both doing business, we might as well go together."
