After less than three days of travel, the two came to the boundary of Wuyuan, Anhui Province, and only stayed for one night on the way.

This is still under Li Zhi's strong request, otherwise Sun Simiao misses his old friend, even if he refuses to rest that night.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, the horses of the two can't bear the crazy rush day and night, even if Li Zhi's mighty horse has a time when he runs out of strength, even though it comes into contact with the boundless wilderness outside, he runs and is extremely excited.

Sun Simiao's old friend is only in his sixties, his name is Wang Chengye, a very ordinary name, and he doesn't have much noble status, he was born as a hunter, and later became a cultivator, and through commercial development, he can be regarded as having a small manor on Tianmu Mountain.

His business is to operate all kinds of inkstones, along with the sales point of pen and ink rice paper, Sun Simiao has not seen him for nearly ten years, and the last time he saw him, he was only a third-level hunter.

Entering Wuyuan County, the two of them were no longer in a hurry to pass through the city, Sun Simiao said: "More than nine years ago, when I returned from here, Chengye had just added a little grandson, so I bought some children's gifts in the city, and by the way, I visited the goods sold in the transportation house. ”

Carrying Zhai is Wang Chengye's name of the industry, in the early years only when he was only Orion, Sun Simiao, who was introduced by others, was hired as a guide into the mountain, so many years have passed, he is also a well-known businessman in Wuyuan County.

The industry under its name has the sale of inkstones, and it is a inkstone inheritance workshop that includes more than a dozen processes such as material selection, billet making, design, carving, and box matching.

His hometown is at the foot of Longwei Mountain at the junction of Wuyuan and She County, where it is the main source of stone for the treasures of Shexian inkstone.

Wuyuan County is very small, compared with Tonglin County is less than three or four percent of the scale, but because of the beautiful ecological environment and profound cultural heritage, it is connected to Sanqing Mountain, the first immortal mountain in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is also another leisurely scenery of forest shade.

The main business district in the city is actually a whole shopping street, where I bought gifts, talked, and soon came to the carrier at the other end.

Although Sun Simiao had been to this shop before, he had changed his original appearance through some kind of Taoist secret technique, and the shopkeeper Luo on the first floor did not recognize him.

According to the agreement, Li Zhi came forward to contact: "Shopkeeper Luo, right?" This old man is a merchant in the early years of Wang Dongjia, and he has not been in contact with this line for many years, so he introduced me. ”

That shopkeeper Luo was a little skeptical, he had been in business for decades, and no one had seen it, and there were not a few people who came to pick up the process formula.

As soon as he arched his hand slightly, he directly ignored Li Zhi, but bowed to Sun Simiao and asked, "The old man and our host are old acquaintances?" Dare to ask where the goods were dropped before? ”

As long as he asks the place where the goods fell a few years ago, he can test whether the early merchants are credible.

Sun Simiao said: "I met the shopkeeper Luo once, or ten years ago, I must have forgotten, but every time I pick up the goods, my amount of goods is very small, and I carry it with me." But I'm from Chang'an City, so Shopkeeper Luo should have some impressions, right? ”

Shopkeeper Luo's face instantly became enthusiastic, "Could it be Sun... Doesn't that look like this? ”

Sun Simiao waved his hand, "Old Man Sun passed away a few years ago, and he is a person in his hundred and tens of years, so it is rare to live until now." I am the entourage who followed my grandfather back then, surnamed Ma! ”

Ten years ago, he had never even reached the level of a hunter, but now he is at the realm of a grandmaster, and his appearance and temperament have changed greatly, that is, he is sixty or seventy years old.

Shopkeeper Luo is an ordinary person, and when he can see the legendary King of Medicine, all the attention is just looking at Sun Simiao, where do you remember the people around her ten years ago.

However, he was still a little skeptical, "Old man Ma? I don't know back then..."

Sun Simiao interrupted his inquiry, "We came here with Wang Dong's family back then, and by the way, we celebrated a hundred days for his three-month-old grandson in the city!" ”

Shopkeeper Luo no longer had any doubts, and hurriedly recruited a guy to serve the tea, "I said that Old Man Ma is a little familiar!" I heard about Dr. Sun a few years ago, and I felt sad for a while. It's a pity, no matter how good the old man is, it is difficult to guarantee immortality! However, the old man lived to be one hundred and forty-one years old, which can be regarded as the age of a fairy! ”

There was another exchange between the two, and later Sun Simiao pointed to Li Zhi: "Do you know the Zhengqing Wenqitang in Chang'an City?" He is the master there, don't look at his young age, the money he earns in a year can buy a few Wuyuan counties! ”

"Hey, Mr. Li, your Zhengqing Wenqitang is famous, even some of our rural ladies in Wuyuan are also proud to get a piece of jewelry from you!"

The instantaneous change in Shopkeeper Luo's face didn't look like a fake, and he didn't wait for Li Zhi to respond, turned around, bent down, and pulled out two pages of rice paper under the counter behind him: "Mr. Li, please see, this is still brought back from Chang'an City by the owner a month ago, and it is regarded as a treasure of the town store in our place. ”

Sun Simiao smiled and said, "Hey, ten taels, it's enough for Shopkeeper Luo to save for a year without eating or drinking, right?" ”

"Not like that!" Shopkeeper Luo responded, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Li Zhi.

Li Zhiyi knew something, and also smiled back, "In Chang'an City, this kind of size is only three taels of silver, and your owner's heart is black enough!" ”

As soon as his complexion changed, Shopkeeper Luo stretched out his right hand and feigned hitting his face, "Look at my stinky mouth, you know nonsense!" But this can't all be blamed on our family, the capital of Huizhou also costs eight taels of silver, and even with us here to such a high price, otherwise we will not be able to survive in the local area. Only the powerful can afford the four treasures of the study, and if you don't have Zhengqing Wenqitang rice paper in your store, you will never come in again next time! ”

He saw that Li Zhi's face gradually changed to a smile, and hurriedly turned his head to Sun Simiao: "Ma Ye, you always help to intercede, and the carrier is just to enter the market with the market, and if others have it, our family has to enter some, right?" ”

Shopkeeper Luo knows that Zhengqing Wenqitang has a huge royal background in Chang'an City, and anyone who goes there to purchase rice paper will sign a sales document.

Zhengqing Wenqitang takes this as a condition for purchase, which is to consider the monopoly authority in various places in the future, so that it is more convenient for unified management, otherwise it is like this kind of private price increase, which is a big taboo for brand merchants.

"You tell Mr. Li about the situation of the entire Huizhou market, if you can explain it to him, maybe you can open up the net for transportation." Sun Simiao pointed.

Shopkeeper Luo hurriedly looked at Li Zhi again: "The major merchants in Huizhou have united to find Zhengqing Wenqitang, I heard that the sales authority of rice paper should do what monopoly right, but after no result, those people even found the Huizhou government, and the high price asked for this matter was unsuccessful, and the current situation was formed!" However, no one dares to sell them as knives, at most 90 or 80 to block the façade. As far as I know, no one has the ability or dare to take the risk to sell it in large quantities in private, and they all say that Mr. Li's house is a dignified Ming Palace, and that it is the Huizhou Mansion Assassin Shi himself, and it is a matter of one sentence to take it down! ”

"What about your fasting? Also the shipment of dozens of pieces? Li Zhi's face was expressionless at the moment.

"Where do you dare! Besides, our Wuyuan County is a small place, and some nobles are only at the level of eight or nine grades, if we have so much inventory, he can't afford it! Ten of them have been sold, and our owner came to ask him, and I am also a janitor! ”

"Zhengqing Wenqitang's other goods, do you have them to sell here?"

"Some merchants in Huizhou also sell small items such as snuff bottles, such as jewelry produced by Zhengqing Wenqitang, which I have only heard of in the hands of rich and noble families, and they are all private transactions. Valuables of thousands of taels of silver at every turn, and there is no merchant in the entire Huizhou Mansion who has the ability to purchase goods in large quantities, and there are sporadic shops, which are also the treasures of the town store that are not for sale! ”

"Where's the ten-colored note?"

"This kind of exquisite paper slip is sold in the store, but how much is sold on the counter, according to the regulations of Zhengqing Wenqitang, it is also opened and sold, the cost is not daring, but the specific quantity does not dare to hide from Mr. Li, how many are also snatched up, and they are all young masters and ladies of rich families, you have goods and do not sell, just stay in the store and refuse to leave!"

"Huizhou is the same?" Li Zhizhi was surprised.
