The new dynasty is faltering and has begun its journey.

At this point, there is only one month left before the New Year. Liyue and Xiyu are also going to celebrate the New Year. Tatar the same. New Year is the most important festival of the Han people, and any ruler must follow the local customs. Otherwise, how can you be gentle with the world?

There is still a month to go, and the people are starting to prepare for the New Year. However, in the capital of Xi, there is an undercurrent surging in the bronze city.

In an inn in the southeast corner of the Bronze City, a merchant came. This merchant, you and you, are a poor merchant.

The man had an emaciated face and wore a local leather jacket. It's made of sheepskin.

This man opened an inferior room, but he was the bearer. The merchant was alone, and like most of the petty traders, had a rudimentary carriage. Cars are used to pull goods.

After the merchant finished opening the room, he was led by Xiao Er. After entering the room, Xiao Er lit the oil lamp, and the businessman first observed the environment in the room. There is only a small bed and a small table in the room that does not answer.

He smiled, feeling quite satisfied.

Xiao Er went out, but the merchant did not sit, let alone stand, he walked to the window and opened a window. The wind and snow immediately poured in. He looked out against the wind and snow, and there were lanterns swaying in the wind in the courtyard of the inn. The small courtyard was hazy. But the general environment, he can still see.

After looking at it, he closed the window.

Then he put down his baggage and went out the door, and when he went out, he locked the door. Then went downstairs. Went straight to the dining room. He may have been hungry.

When he arrived at the dining room, he first looked around, then found an area where the guests were concentrated, that is, the middle area, and found a small table to sit down.

Around the tables were a group of Sid'er people, laughing and laughing with the local dialect. The merchant listened with his ears pricked up. Xiao Er came and asked him what he wanted to eat.

He quickly and skillfully ordered Xi's meal.

"A plate of beef, two flatties. A family of milk wine. The merchant said.

"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute." Xiao Er went.

The merchant drank his tea and continued to listen to the people around him.

After a while, the wine and food he asked for came up. He began to eat, but his ears kept listening to the people around him.

"Hey, brother, are you really going to the Yaori Department to buy cattle and sheep?" One of the people at a table next to the merchant said.

"Well, there's no way, now there's only the Yao Ribu and the cattle and sheep. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, it is not necessary to take the opportunity to earn some silver. The one known as the elder brother said.

The man said, "Brother, now that the Yao Ri Department and the Tuwang Department are in power, is it a bit risky for you to go now?" ”

The man said, "I know that, too." But we are businessmen, and businessmen are doing business. And we don't take part in the battles they see only. What's in it? ”

The man said, "Brother, you can't say that." These are critical times. Don't be careless! ”

The man laughed and said, "Brother, you're a bit too mother-in-law." Do you just say to go or not to go? ”

The man was a little embarrassed and said, "Brother, I want to go here, brother." It's just that I'm a little scared. ”

"Afraid?" The man took a sip of wine and said, "Brother, you know a word." ”

The man asked, "What words?" ”

The man smiled and said, "The greater the risk, the more you earn." ”

The man said, "Well, I've heard this brother before. ”

"Then you just say whether you go or not." The man asked.

The man said with some hesitation: "Brother, how much do you think we can earn on this trip?" ”

The man held out a slap.

The man guessed, "Five hundred taels of silver?" ”

The man shook his head.

The man looked surprised, and guessed, "It can't be five thousand taels, right?" ”

The man put down his palm and said, "Yes, five thousand taels of silver." ”

The man was even more astonished, and his mouth was wide open, unable to speak.

The man smiled and drank again.

At this time, the merchant who had been listening also took a sip of wine and rolled his eyes.

The man almost half-got up and asked, "Brother, can you really earn so much?" ”

The man took a sip of wine and said, "That's nature." ”

The man looked around, and by this time, the people around him had finished eating, and they were almost gone. It's a little late, too. Seeing that there was only one merchant on the side, he asked in a low voice: "Brother, why don't other merchants go if you make so much money?" ”

The man looked around and whispered, "They're all as scared as you are." ”

The man said, "Shall we go then?" ”

The man said, "Brother, you're on point. Brother, let me be honest with you, even if others have the guts, they can't go. But my brother and I can go. ”

The man asked, "Brother, why is that?" ”

The man whispered, "Well, let's go back to my room and talk to you again." ”

The man said, "Brother, my brother has already eaten and drunk, why don't we go back now?" ”

The man said, "It's okay, it's okay, brother, I'll drink and eat well, let's go." ”

After saying that, the two got up and left.

The merchant hurriedly finished his sip of wine, threw down a small string of copper plates, and got up and left. The coins of Xizhan used the coins of the Dayang Dynasty of the Tars, while the coinage system of the Tarsis followed the Huahan system, and most of them were copper coins and silver and gold.

The merchant followed the two men all the way upstairs.

It turned out that the two men were living in a medium room next door to him.

The merchant watched as the two men entered, and he also walked to the door of the room. He stood for a moment and knocked on the door.

Dangdangdang......

The door opened.

It was the timid man who opened the door. He asked, "Are you?" ”

"Oh, like Brother Tai, he is also a merchant who has come here to do business." The merchant replied, with a good-natured smile on his face.

Timidly asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”

The merchant smiled and said, "Fang Cai, I heard the two of you in the dining room, and I intend to join you and want to earn some silver." ”

When the cowardly boy heard this, he immediately turned back as if to ask the man. He looked back for a moment and said, "We don't want to bring a third person." ”

The merchant smiled and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Tai, I have some silver in my hand, but I have nowhere to invest!" ”

"You say you're rich?" The timid asked.

The merchant smiled and nodded.

The timid man looked back again, and saw the man coming. The man had a long beard and looked very rough. I saw him looking at the merchant with a smiling face, and said with a smile: "This brother, please come in, please come in." ”

The merchant smiled and nodded, and walked into the room.

The bearded man immediately asked the merchant to sit down. I also poured tea myself.
