This time it is even more outrageous, it is not impossible to hire a dart master in a regular dart bureau, but you must indicate the destination and carry the goods to calculate the commission. But who would bring dozens of cotton cloths to Yongzhou to sell? With such a long distance, after removing freight, eating, drinking, housing and transportation, even if you sell at a high price, there is no profit at all.

Let's not talk about whether the tax officials in Yongzhou will be suspicious, the light dart bureau will not be able to pass this pass, and people will persuade them with good words when they hear it, and then directly refuse this journey that is likely to make customers lose money.

At present, the output of cotton cloth is not very high, except for the supply of the new army and the imperial court, there are not too many that really flow to the people, and it is a hot goods. If you want to do cotton business, you can go to a closer place, and even in Hangzhou, some people rush to ask for it, so why do you have to go so far.

Attracting the suspicions of those around you before you arrive at your destination is a taboo for secret investigations. How to integrate into the local society, it is best that people can't remember when they meet, this is the perfect micro-service private interview.

"If you care, you don't think too much about other things, too much excitement and fear are fatal. Now is not the time to admit your mistakes and find a way to make up for them. Hong Tao knew why Wang Shi would make such a low-level mistake, and she had too many things on her mind.

“…… With the accent of the father and daughter, it is not advisable to sell any kind of goods in the local area, and the distance is too far and there are too few goods. Biting his fingers and thinking for a long time, Wang Shi reluctantly gave up.

She really couldn't think of what two northerners with two Japanese slaves could sell thousands of miles away. If it is a large number of goods, it can be explained, and the sales volume of these dozens of cotton cloths is beyond the range of two or three hundred miles.

"So we can't hire a regular dart board of carriages and horses, this Shunshui dart game is good. You go and talk to them about hiring two cars to go to Tanzhou, the vehicles are comfortable and fast, and you don't have to worry too much about the price. Hong Tao pointed to the verdant signboard and motioned for Yiku to accompany Wang Shi.

"Tanzhou? Why go to Tanzhou? "Wang Shi was confused, didn't he say that he would go to Yongzhou, why did he change Tanzhou again.

"When I went to Tanzhou to change ships and continued south, some people asked and said that our cotton cloth was transported from Baling, and there were big ships in Dengzhou moored there." In terms of the level of making up nonsense, Hong Tao feels that no one can compare with him.

No matter how hard the adopted children work, they can only learn the skin, the essence is not learned, they have to apply what they have learned, constantly face all kinds of things and all kinds of people, and they can only make progress by falling down and getting up again and again in failure. But they don't seem to have the opportunity to experience so many times on their own, and their level will inevitably not be able to catch up.

"Daddy is cunning!" Wang Shi understood this time, and his adoptive father's nonsense was all made up to the horizon. The Shunshui Dart Bureau will leave when they send people to Tanzhou, and no one can ask about their origins. The cotton cloth was transported in Baling again, and no one would go to Baling to verify it because of this cloth in Yongzhou.

In recent years, many large ships have traveled upstreams along the Yangtze River to sell goods in towns and cities along the way, and it is reasonable to say that they have reached as far as the Jiangling area. It not only explains the origin of the goods, but also explains why several northern merchants appeared in the southern interior, which is not easy to trace, it is perfect!

In fact, as Hong Tao predicted, the Shunshui Dart Bureau is really not as professional as the Shunfeng Dart Bureau, they may not understand the true meaning of the circulation of goods at all, or they may understand but don't care at all. As long as the cost is sufficient, there is a smooth road along the way. I didn't even ask much about the origin of the four people and went to the backyard to set up a car, and the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers

Two six-percent new four-wheeled passenger cars and one eighty-percent new four-wheeled box car. The condition of the bus is not bad, and it is a product of Weiqiao Town in the early days. Don't look at the years, it is for the new army, unlike the simplified version that was sold to the people after the imperial court took over.

Hong Tao and Wang Shi shared a car, a warehouse and an ether, and the box car was used to load goods. The four coachmen looked quite capable, and anyway, they drove around the city without slowing down, and rushed out of the north gate and headed west along the wide avenue.

"How do you and them explain the identities of the four of us?" At this time, Hong Tao had to continue to make up nonsense, and he had to be in close contact with the coachman for more than ten days along the way, and if he couldn't even deceive them, he would have to show his stuff immediately when he arrived in Yongzhou.

"Of course I'm my father's mother, and Ikuku and Aether are the Japanese slaves in our family. I told them that my husband's family had 100 acres of cotton fields in Dengzhou, and that he would go to Tanzhou to visit relatives and bring some cotton cloth to wrap along the way. Your name is Wang Dalang, my name is Feng Shi Niang, and there are a pair of children at home, hehehe...... "Wang Shi can be regarded as wishful, smiling so weirdly, he sat down next to his adoptive father as he spoke, leaning close together, and his face was flushed.

"The age difference is a bit big, so it's better to be commensurate with father and daughter." Hong Tao didn't dodge this time, nor did he kick Wang Shi away with his feet. There's really no hope, let her have a good time.

"It's not, Daddy is not old at all, I told the coachman that you are fifty out of thirty, and he also said that he is a talent, hehehehe......"

Wang Shi has always had doubts about the age of his adoptive father, when he was a child, he looked like this, and now he is twenty-five years old, his adoptive father's appearance has not changed much, there is not a single white hair on his head, there are no wrinkles on his face, and time seems to have frozen.

"Hey, hey, hey...... In another twenty years, you will be believed if you are your father or your brother. Hong Tao didn't take Wang Shi's answer as a compliment, this is a fact, his aging speed is indeed much slower than that of ordinary people.

When I first arrived in this era, my body was in my early thirties, and twenty years have passed, and in the words of the eldest princess, sometimes when I wake up, I feel like I have returned to twenty years ago when I see the face of the horse. But as long as you look in the mirror, you will find that the people around the colt have obvious traces of age, but the colt himself does not.

This is the first time that Hong Tao has been active on a large scale in the Jiangnan area, and compared with later generations, Jiangnan at this time is really called the land of fish and rice. There were rivers, woods, tidal flats, and swamps everywhere, and all the land that could be cultivated was put to good use.

Rice and mulberry trees are the main crops, and broad beans, peas, celery, lentils, spinach, lettuce are dotted with dots, and from time to time you can see patches of watermelon fields.

With the opening of the trade route, trade between various places tended to be frequent, and watermelon, a fruit that was originally only grown in a small area on Ganliang Road, also followed the merchants into the Central Plains and even the Jiangnan region, and was gradually accepted by the Song people.

Especially the restaurants and big families in the city will prepare a big watermelon on August 15. They think that all the two petals of watermelon are very similar to the moon, and if they catch up with watermelon with yellow flesh, it is an excellent commodity, and the price will be several times greater.

During the New Year's holidays, the local government of Yangzhou will send some New Year's goods to the regent palace, among which there must be yellow watermelons. Hong Tao didn't think the yellow watermelon was delicious, and the meat was not sandy at all.

But the folk customs are really not who listens to whoever starts with it, the planting and selling of watermelons is caused by Hong Tao, but the large-scale popularity has nothing to do with him, and the yellow watermelon becomes a treasure and is cultivated by the growers with heart.

If this trend continues, the big watermelon with red soil and black seeds, sand and sweetness may become history, and the yellow watermelon will be orthodox in a few hundred years. No one eats mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so let's eat the big yellow watermelon instead.

"These are the cooperative's acres?" After arriving in Hongzhou, Jiangnan West Road, Hong Tao found a relatively new crop, and the planting area was quite large.

"It should be, at present, rape flowers, like cotton, are not very accepted by the people south of the Yangtze River, and are mainly planted by cooperatives." Wang Shi looked out of the car window and saw rape fields on both sides, and it was the harvest season, and many farmers were working in the fields.

These rape flowers also came from Huangzhou, and like the white stack flowers, they first spread in the northwest region, and then followed the promotion society into the Sichuan-Shaanxi Fourth Road and the Yellow River Basin, and only gradually introduced to the south of the Yangtze River in recent years.

It is almost as valuable as cotton, which can be spun and woven in place of expensive silk and coarse linen. Rape flowers can be used to extract oil, replacing the flax oil in the north and sesame oil, which is not in high yield, and in addition to making the dishes more delicious, they can also be lit.

Although whale oil is cheap, it can be added to the transportation cost, and it is not common people who can use it all year round in inland areas, and rapeseed oil has a lot of room for development in the civilian class.
