In the inn outside the city, Bai Lian said to Yelu Buhua: "The little one went into the city today to sell the wool, and tomorrow he will buy some sugar and sell it back." ”

Yelu Buhua nodded: "Is it still selling well?" We sold wool for the first time, and if it sells well, we will look for this one in the future. Taking advantage of the right season, some more traffic was sold in these two months, all of which were exchanged for sugar and transported to Xijing. ”

Bai Lian shook his head: "It's okay if Lang Jun doesn't mention it, and I can't help but say it when asked." Today, the one who collects our wool picks left and right, and finds countless faults in our wool, and finally collects it according to the lowest level. I said that this is Lang Jun's wool, but he still doesn't mention the price! ”

When he heard this, Jerod became angry. Who are you? Being so bullied for doing some business. That is, he has suffered too many setbacks recently, suppressed his anger, and said to Bai Lian: "Now the master in the city is Taiwei Zhang, he has never had anything to do with me, and he is not as good as Du Zhijun when he was there, so forget it this time." I heard that the biggest wool business in Tanglong Town is Feng Yuanwai, so you can find him to sell it in the future. ”

Bai Lian agreed in his mouth, and complained bitterly in his heart. This time, the wool was Feng Yuan, who was looking for it first, and he didn't accept it there, so he found someone else. Because of Yelu Buhua and Yelu Yuanzuo as backers, Bai Lian doesn't care if the wool is good or bad, and he doesn't pick it, he collects the wool, just thinking that he can sell it at a good price no matter what. Unexpectedly, the wool merchants in the city did not sell this face at all, and it was extremely difficult to sell when they did. This time I touched the moldy head, it seems that we should be careful when collecting wool in the future, and try to collect some good wool.

Last time the price of frankincense fell, Yelu didn't use all means to avoid the loss and make a little money. However, he overdid it, and the Dongshengzhou business that had just been established was over. There was no one in the cabinet to save money, and the bonds could not be sold, and these industries were concentrated in Tanglong Town.

After this lesson, Yelu Buhua slowly realized some ways and realized the importance of credit. It's a pity that Dongshengzhou doesn't count what he said, I don't know how many high-ranking officials and generals share the fat from it, and there is no way. Yelu Buhua simply gave up Dongshengzhou, resided in Tanglong Town, joined the Bafang Society, and did the business of wool camels and horses, the development of the wool industry of the Volcano Army, the demand is getting bigger and bigger, and the wool business has been booming recently.

When he arrived at the ferry, seeing that the ferry had not returned, Feng Yuan got off his horse and stood under the big tree. A middle-aged member next to him saw it and hurriedly came up and arched his hand: "Is Feng Yuanwai going to cross the river too?" How's business going this time? ”

Feng Yuan looked at it and hurriedly returned the salute: "It turned out to be Peng Yuanwai, make a fortune, make a fortune!" Alas, there has been a lot of wool harvesting recently, and it is becoming more and more difficult to do business in Tanglong Town. I originally wanted to collect some wool from the west, but I didn't want to meet a few people, and before I could do business, I was cut down by the Khitans. ”

Thinking of this, Feng Yuan sighed. There is a lot of wool on the party side, but unfortunately the business died halfway through and couldn't do it.

Peng Yuanwai nodded, sighed together for a while, and suddenly said: "I heard that Linzhou has reopened and the city has been reopened, I wonder if we can go there to buy wool?" It would be nice if there were party members to do this kind of business with us. ”

Feng Yuan shook his head: "This is not a matter of a while, it must be considered in the long run." When we returned to the camp, we discussed it together. ”

At this moment, the ferry boat returned, and everyone got on the boat together and arrived on the other side of the Yellow River.

When they arrived at the camp, Feng Yuan and Peng Yuanwai stored the collected wool in the freight yard, and the two went to the market to hang out together.

On the way, Peng Yuanwai said: "This time I collected wool, and I met a wool seller in the north, and I was almost afraid of my belly." The man's wool was quite large, but it was a mess, and he didn't pick it at all when he harvested it, and it was mixed up in a mess, and there were even weeds and dead leaves in it. It's just a big breath, and I have to sell it at the best price. Tossed a few times, charged at the lowest price, and gritted my teeth to tell me to be careful in the future. ”

Feng Yuan heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" So unreasonable! ”

Peng Yuanwai said: "A member surnamed Bai said that he was doing business for Yelu Langjun, and he was very powerful. ”

Feng Yuan laughed when he heard this: "It turned out to be him!" This person is the head of the Khitan marshal Yelu Wuzuo in Dongsheng Prefecture in the north, and Yelu Wuzuo, who was sent by the Khitans in Tanglong Town, is very powerful. If you want to sell me his wool, I will confiscate it. ”

Peng Yuanwai shook his head again and again after hearing this: "I knew that this was the case, and I wouldn't accept him."

said so on the lips, but knew in my heart that it would not work if I didn't accept it. Recently, the wool has been tight, and some of the harvests are good, but after the collection, hire someone to clean up and re-divide before selling.

As soon as the two were leaving, they suddenly saw Zhang Junde coming towards them, and Feng Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Zhang Yuanwai, long time no see!" Why do you have to wander around the market today? I have received a new batch of wool, and I will send it to you in the next two days. ”

Zhang Junde hurriedly returned the salute and said yes.

Feng Yuan saw that Zhang Junde was holding a small blanket in his hand, smooth and delicate, and asked with a smile: "Did you buy a blanket outside the staff?" ”

Zhang Junde waved his hand again and again: "Where is the blanket I bought, I came here to sell it." It's just that the price is high, and it's not easy to sell. ”

Feng Yuan saw that this blanket was brightly colored, and it was very soft to touch, and asked, "It's a good thing, I don't know how many times I want to sell it outside?" ”

"How many? Several times it was sold. I'm going to sell 500 pieces! ”

Feng Yuan was taken aback: "Such a small blanket costs five hundred yuan?" The best silk is no more than that. ”

Zhang Junde sighed: "Outside, this is made of fine goat velvet, which looks light and thin, and it is extremely warm on the legs in winter." Don't say it's here, even when it's in the Western Regions, it's also more expensive than gold. Do the math, do I want more? ”

Feng Yuan and Peng Yuan looked at each other and said, "Ah, we are all poor families, but we don't have this knowledge." Five hundred yuan, just for such a small blanket covering legs, I can't even think of it. ”

When I asked, I learned that this little blanket had been woven by Zhang Junde at home for several months, and it took countless efforts to wait for him to sell it and buy some utensils at home. It's a pity that the Volcano Army is a small place, and this kind of overly luxurious goods are not easy to sell. Zhang Junde had no choice but to slowly think of a way.

Asked about the recent situation of the Volcano Army, Zhang Junde said: "It's autumn now, and we are busy harvesting grain in the camp, and we, the weavers, are also busy. When it freezes in the fall, the machines that use a lot of water will not be usable, so try to do as much as you can. I heard that the arrangements have been made by the magistrates, and some of us, the weavers who are idle, go to the camp to help Pingtian open canals, and some are conscripted as township soldiers to teach and read the array. Knowing that the officers are pitiful, all those who enter the countryside are in charge of food and housing, which is not bad. ”

Feng Yuan said: "Now that business in Tanglong Town is booming, the Khitan people are also profitable, and the thieves in the vicinity are extinct, what is the use of the township soldiers?" ”

Peng Yuanwai said: "Don't forget the west!" Knowing the officers must have gotten some news before they want to run the township soldiers. ”

Du Zhongxiao didn't have any news, at this time he was in the yamen, carefully flipping through the recent newspaper to find news. Counting the days, Nong Zhigao in the south is about to have an accident in the past few years, but there is very little news of them in the Di Daily. Only the Quang Nam West Road Concert accidentally mentions that Nong Zhigao has occupied the Tianzhou area, and his relationship with Jiaozhi has not been good recently.

Du Zhongxiao didn't know the specific process of Nong Zhigao's rebellion, and he didn't have a clue what stage it was now and how long it was until the rebellion. At this time, if Du Zhongxiao proposed that the court guard against Nong Zhigao, he would be regarded as sick.
