With Northwest Wei as the core, the terrain here is vast, but the water system resources are very poor. Most of the aristocratic families mainly focus on animal husbandry, mining, or growing some drought-resistant crops.
The famous heavy-duty draft horses of the North are a specialty of the northwest guards. There are many aristocratic families in Longzuo County who will buy and raise some heavy-duty draft horses to increase the family's transportation capacity.
The entire Northwest Five Guards has a total of eleven seventh-grade aristocratic families, and countless eighth- and ninth-grade aristocratic families are scattered among the vast grasslands and pastures. Most of the family members have been to the Northwest Acropolis as far away as possible in their lives.
.
The northwest acropolis stands on the edge of the vast grassland. The city outline is majestic, and the towering and thick city walls can easily withstand the impact of fifth-level ferocious beasts. Groups of garrison soldiers are stationed on the archery towers of the city wall.
The sun rises above the horizon, and the sky and earth light up.
The heavy city gate slowly opened, and the caravans, people, and some wandering merchants who had been waiting outside entered the acropolis one after another. Human beings only occupied a small part of the vast and endless grassland.
Although the grassland is not as rich in resources as the south, it still has many unique products. For example, the famous common straw mushrooms and spiritual straw mushrooms grow randomly in the grassland.
The former is delicious and is a rare delicacy when cooked with grassland beef and mutton. The latter is a rare and precious spiritual ingredient that also has medicinal properties.
However, both kinds of mushrooms are mainly fresh and tender. They are best eaten two or three days after being kept fresh. After that, their edible value will decrease sharply every day. Therefore, in farther areas, you can only enjoy dried products.
Chunyu Anton was born in an unqualified Xuanwu family in the Northwest Five Guards, and he had outstanding aptitudes since childhood. However, with the resources and power controlled by the family, it was absolutely impossible for him to break through the Lingtai realm and become a high-ranking Lingtai ancestor.
As a result, Chunyu Andong became a wandering merchant at the age of eighteen and traveled almost all over Longzuo County. Simply speaking, within the scope of Longzuo County, there were many, many such people.
Most of them will eventually die in a foreign land without a trace. A small number of them will choose a place to settle down, forming one family after another. Only a handful of them, due to factors such as luck, opportunity, hard work, etc., will enter the spiritual platform.
environment, breaking class solidification.
Chunyu Anton is one of the few successful people. After he entered the Lingtai realm, he continued to organize casual cultivators and merchants, and established a small and inconspicuous business. After pursuing profits, he expanded his business and gradually, his family, which was not a member of the upper class, was
Tuoju became a ninth-grade aristocratic family.
And Chunyu Anton also became the ancestor of the Chunyu family of the ninth grade family, which can be said to be a perfect achievement.
But when Chunyu Andong was young, he was used to wandering around. He missed the adventurous life in the wilderness with his fellow cultivators when he was in Zhenze Guard, and he also missed running business back and forth between East Sea Guard and Hundred Island Guard.
, days of making small profits.
Similarly, he also misses the time when he was young and frivolous and watched the sunrise with a girl from a young family in Izumo Guard. Unfortunately, the status of the two parties was very different, and in the end, the girl was beaten by her elders, which became a lifelong regret.
He wanted to look around again, but now that he was over a hundred years old, his family needed him to guard it, and his descendants could not do without his ancestor. He could no longer go as unscrupulously as he did when he was young.
Spend a lot of time wandering around.
Chunyu Anton compromised for the sake of his family. He thought that all those memories and hopes would be buried underground with him.
However, an opportunity now brought Chunyu Anton's already dead heart back to life again.
Northwest Weibaiweiju branch.
Due to Yuwen Shijia's good management, Baiweiju here is also considered one of the top restaurants. Many local high-end banquets and banquets will be held in Baiweiju.
Due to the limitation of ingredients, most of the dishes here are cooked with beef, mutton and spiritual meat. The most famous spiritual meat is a high-end spiritual meat-grade ingredient called Lingxue Sheep. Whether it is grilled or shabu-shabu, it is
First-class plump and smooth, it melts in your mouth.
Several storefronts next to this Baiweiju have been taken over at some point. After some decoration, the sign "Shuda Trading Company" has been hung on the lintel.
Undoubtedly, this is a new trading company established by the Wang family and their in-law alliance. Originally, they agreed to call it Shouzhe Trading Company. However, Wang Shouzhe rejected it, and finally named it after Shouzhe, which means keeping promises and achieving success.
The current big shopkeeper of the Northwest Guard branch of Shouda Trading Company is named Lei Yongbai. He is an elder from the Lingtai Realm clan in the Lei family in Changning. At the age of 150, he was sent to the Northwest Guard as the big shopkeeper to form an alliance for in-laws.
The new business houses are exerting their remaining heat.
In addition, there are also a group of juniors from various ethnic groups who are arranged in the branch to serve as manpower, learn from them, and have to practice hard.
A branch like this must have at least one Lingtai realm monk in charge, otherwise it will not meet the standards of a trading company and will also be easily questioned. Although the number of Lingtai realm monks in each in-law family is limited, and each has its own tasks, this time the business bank opened up wasteland.
, many ancestors stopped working and went to open up wasteland in various places.
At the same time, each family quickly cultivates the next generation of Lingtai realm monks to gradually expand the scale of personnel turnover.
This day.
It is already the second month since the northwest branch of Shouda Trading Co., Ltd. was opened. Because the northwest branch is a remote branch, only one spirit bird flying chariot arrives in the morning every day. Then the spirit bird master and the flying chariot will take a short rest and arrive in the evening.
Start going to Longzuo County City.
Lei Yongbai, the chief shopkeeper of the commercial bank branch, has already started a busy day. Today, he has to make an appointment to meet with the heads of three eighth-grade aristocratic families to discuss the price and supply of white jade spiritual rice and fire crystal spiritual rice.
Let’s talk about the long-term supply contract for fresh spirit fish meat and the consignment agreement for the family spirit meat industry!
These family members have been using spiritual meat to replenish their energy and blood for a long time, and they have long been tired of it. Fresh and tender spiritual fish meat is the commodity they crave most.
The young people working under the bank also started working full of energy. Recently, after a trial operation and promotion of the Northwest Branch, business has gradually begun to improve, which has greatly increased their confidence and they feel that their future is bright.
Customers entered the business one after another, each with their own needs. Some had letters to send, and some wanted to buy some scattered fresh goods!
"Senior Chunyu." A young teller surnamed Gongsun was busy handling the formalities for Chunyu Andong and said, "This is your journey package. You will arrive at Juncheng tomorrow, and then you can take Juncheng to Izumo on the same day. You can arrive at Izumo Guard the day after tomorrow by the flying chariot of Wei. After two days of visiting Izumo Guard, you can take the flying chariot of Longzuo Ring Line to reach Baidao Guard, Changning Guard, and Zhenze Guard. Finally, you can take Zhenze Guard Take the flying chariot to the county town, and then transfer to the flying chariot from the county town to the northwest guard."
"This package only costs one hundred gold, and we will give you a 10% discount because of the new opening! However, before you board the train, your personal luggage must not exceed ten kilograms, otherwise you will have to purchase an additional luggage ticket."
Only ninety gold? Chunyu Andong was a little dizzy. Apart from the seven days spent commemorating and playing in various places, this series of journeys, including the round trip, only took six or seven days.
In half a month and ninety gold, he had fulfilled his long-held dream! If he had to take a carriage, he would not be able to come back in less than half a year.
It is indeed a school flying chariot. Not only is it fast, it also takes the shortest distance.
At this time.
There was a crisp chirp of a crane in the sky, and a spiritual bird flew across the sky, falling quickly at a fixed point at a certain time. Although this was not the first time I saw it, it still attracted a crowd of onlookers.
After the chariot stopped.
The first ones to come down were the passengers, a total of five of them. Except for one young man who was in the Qi Refining Realm, there were three other people in the Lingtai Realm and a middle-aged man whose cultivation was unpredictable.
It was very obvious that he was a monk in the realm of heaven and human beings.
A cultivator in the heavenly realm can levitate and fly in the air for a long time, but every breath and every moment consumes profound energy. If you want him to soar in the sky like a starry night and travel two to three thousand miles overnight, you will have to kill him. Less than.
In fact, even if there are powerful cultivators in the heavenly realm who can do it, it is not cost-effective, it is too tiring! If you can sit comfortably in the flying chariot car and squint all night, you can reach your destination, why not?
After all the passengers had disembarked, the guys hired by the branch began to unload the goods smoothly. A small ice crystal freezer was installed on the flying car, and a small cargo warehouse was towed at the bottom of the car.
Ice crystal freezers are used to store high-end ingredients, including fresh seafood caught the day before yesterday, large lobsters weighing more than ten kilograms, abalone as big as a bowl, giant sea urchins that are guaranteed to be yellow, etc.
There are also some more precious ice-cold sea fish, which are some cut high-quality parts of a third-level purple gold sea fish, which are an excellent choice for eating sea fish.
According to the agreement between Shouda Trading Company and Yuwen Family, 80% to 90% of these high-quality ingredients are supplied to Northwest Wei Baiweiju, and a small amount of them are reserved by well-established families.
Because these ingredients are reasonably priced and extremely fresh, Baiweiju's business is booming.
The small cargo hold hanging below the flying chariot car contains some light materials. For example, some precious spiritual silks, spiritual materials and other money-making items.
In addition, Hui Qisi, the driver of the flying chariot, also has a storage ring on his hand. High-end clothes customized by Zhou in the county town, cultivation elixirs purchased on behalf of others, and about dozens of letters and small packages.
After Huiqisi took off his storage ring, he began to go to eat and rest under the reception of the teller. There were also dedicated people to take care of the spiritual birds, feed them spiritual food, and rest.
The tellers and clerks were busy.
Some employee riders, carrying letters and packages, began to rush to various places to deliver letters and packages. The guys from Barilla also came to pick up the freshest ingredients. Their customers had already made reservations for lunch and dinner, as if there were more Food ingredients are somewhat in short supply.
at the same time.
In the Northwest Acropolis, there was a Xiong family from the Northwest who was a local seventh-grade powerful man. There happened to be a legitimate girl in their family who was about to get married. On the first day that Shouda Trading Company opened, they took a flying chariot to the county seat. Zhou's clothing store customized a beautiful wedding dress worth two to three thousand gold.
The "Shuda Trading Company" was responsible for transporting Zhou's wedding dress back after completing it and sending it to the Xiong family. Shouda Trading Company did not make much money from this order, but it opened up a new idea.
I remember that Wang Shouzhe once entrusted Qian to buy wedding clothes from Zhou in the county town. But not only did it take a long time, but he also had no way to choose it himself.
Therefore, taking this opportunity, Shouda Trading Company and the Zhou family also reached a certain cooperation, specializing in promoting Zhou's clothing manual. Whether it was driving customers to Zhou's tailor-made clothes, or dragging Zhou's garment makers back and forth to provide door-to-door service, Shouda Da Commercial Bank can take 10% of it.
It can also be seen from this that once the Spirit Bird Flying Chariot system is fully built, how many changes will it bring to Longzuo County’s life? Today I will go to the county to buy a set of clothes, eat hot pot and then go home tomorrow.
If you are in a bad mood, you can also go to Izumoe to watch the sunrise and sunset.
Even if you have some free time, you can go fishing in Zhenzewei, or ride horses on the prairie in Northwest Wei for a few days! Of course, you can also go to Baidaowei to feed seagulls, and go home the next day to continue. Life……
All kinds of conveniences have subverted the living habits of humans in Longzuo County. Of course, what has changed are the top people in Longzuo County and a small number of ordinary people with business minds.
The vast majority of people at the bottom of society still live their lives as they should.
The situation similar to that of the Northwest Guards is just the tip of the iceberg. The flying chariot systems of each guard have gradually moved on the right track, forming big news and gossip in Longzuo County.
In addition, many "rumors" began to spread in Longzuo County.
The reason why "Shuda Trading Company" was established was due to Qian's Trading Company's suppression and betrayal of its former allies. The owners of Shouda Trading Company were originally close partners of Qian's Trading Company, but Qian's Trading Company suddenly wanted to change their cooperation. The commission suddenly increased from 20% to 50%.
The partners were forced to find ways to open up channels on their own. Before that, the partners headed by Wang originally wanted to build Shouda Trading Company together with Qian.
This trend of rumors and facts immediately dealt a blow to the reputation of Qian's trading company, and more importantly, mocked Qian's stupid strategic layout. It is said that even the ancestor of Qian's Zifu was alarmed, and among the family Got furious once.
at the same time.
In the main hall of the Qian family in Longzuo.
A middle-aged man with a broad face and a majestic expression smashed the vase into pieces and said angrily: "Is that little beast Xuerui back?"
A butler with unfathomable cultivation whispered: "Master, we have already rushed to invite the young master to come back. However, Nan Liuwei is far away, so I am afraid it will take some time before we can get home."
"It's far away?" The head of the Qian family trembled, and said with an angry smile, "It's far away, why don't you take the Shouda Trading Company's flying chariot? That little beast really fails to succeed and fails to do anything. He can't even figure out the situation, so he Dare to fall out with Mrs. Wang and others. This will cause me, Mrs. Qian, to miss this opportunity!"
"Master, calm down," the housekeeper advised, "Young master made such a decision for the sake of the Qian family. And the Wang family obviously didn't have good intentions. Maybe he had already made a secret plan to leave us, the Qian family, and go it alone. "
