Hearing Liang Xing's words, Zhang Han hurriedly walked out, looked at Liang Xing with an excited face, Zhang Han smiled: "There are still a few days to celebrate the New Year, and there is still business at this time, what kind of business is it doing, where are you going?" ”

"It's all hard stuff."

Liang Xing looked left and right, and whispered: "Dongzhu, ginseng, Xuanhu skin, etc., add up to more than 10,000 silver, go to Datong, it is estimated that they will be sold to those relatives in the city." ”

Datong has a king, there are many kings in the genealogy of the king, the king is not a good thing since the ancestor Zhu Gui, cruel and unkind, for the disaster is very serious, the good land near Datong is divided between the king's family and the people in the palace, only a few are left to those generals and gentry, the people have no place to stand, poor, and later Li Zicheng conquered the same time, because the reputation of the king's family is too bad, it will be slaughtered, and it is also considered to be deserved.

Liang Xing said: "The owner of the goods is a showman, called Du Shenming, there is a lot of business in Datong and Taiyuan, he opened a money village and a pawnshop, the villain suspects that he is running errands for the big proprietor, this time he is late to go in our fort to find good goods, his goods are specially used to give gifts before the year, the relationship is significant, is to hear that we have bodyguards, willing to pay a lot of money to hire us." It's just that this person doesn't know how to kill the price, but his attitude is a little hesitant, and he only says that he can decide after seeing the young proprietor. ”

Zhang Han heard him say that he already had an idea in his heart, and knew that this was a good customer, and it would be good for future business to win him over.

At the moment, he asked Liang Xing to take it and went to the mule and horse shop.

As usual, there was still a large pile of manure from donkeys, horses and mules in the courtyard, Zhang Han frowned when he looked at it, and he didn't say anything.

There was a jingling sound in the backyard, those craftsmen are mending and making horseshoes and saddles every day, these days they are full of food, and vegetables are supplemented with vitamins, and there is a meal of meat to eat every few days, the original face of the artisan family has a flesh color, the children's faces have become ruddy from wax yellow, and the treatment is good, these people are very attentive to doing things, every day from morning to night to build non-stop, not only live fast, the quality is also excellent.

A proprietor wearing a square hat and a silk jacket was sitting in the courtyard, about thirty years old, his chin and beard had not yet grown, and he looked quite delicate and white, but his eyes were moving very quickly, and he was full of essence, Zhang Han knew at first sight that he was not a good match.

"Li Dongzhu, this is Zhang Shaodong, who is Heyusheng."

Hearing Liang Xing's introduction, Zhang Han also felt helpless in his heart, in fact, whether it was a few shopkeepers or guys, or the Lahu here, they were very convinced of him, and their attitude was also respectful, but the age was here, and if he wanted to replace this "young proprietor" with "proprietor", I am afraid that it is not the ability to solve it, so he can only wait for time.

When Du Shenming saw Zhang Han's age, his eyes immediately showed a trace of suspicion, but this person was a city government, and he still smiled and said: "I have heard a lot of things about Zhang Shao's proprietor in this Xinping Castle, and they all say that they are young talents, but I didn't expect them to be so young." ”

Zhang Han smiled, staggered the topic, and said: "I heard that Li Dongzhu has a batch of goods to Datong, and I plan to bring all the people to personally secure this trip for Li Dongzhu." ”

Du Shenming's eyes showed a hint of surprise, he didn't make a decision mainly to believe in Liang Xing and his gang, these Lahu knew at a glance that they were not good people, of course he brought a few companions with him when he went out this year, but if there was trouble on the way to charge the goods, Du Shenming didn't know if he could resist it, if this young proprietor who was quite wealthy in Xinpingbao took the goods together, this layer of worries could be solved, this layer of meaning he had not said clearly, this young proprietor took the initiative to put it forward, it can be seen that he also understands things, Very shrewd Lord.

"Since the young proprietor said so, the matter can naturally be decided."

Du Shenming thought about it again and again, and finally settled the matter of freight with Zhang Han.

"Fourteen two-wheeled chariots, each with two mules or donkeys, seventeen accompanying mulemen, eleven dart masters, together with the young proprietor and his companions, shall pay the mule and horse fares and freight three hundred and seventeen taels, and make up a whole number of three hundred and twenty taels, to be paid before departure, and so on."

Du Shenming is very cautious in doing business, but after the finality, it is very refreshing, half a day Zhang Han picked out the vehicle and bodyguard personnel, plus he and Liang Hong went together, the mule and horse shop was suddenly busy, the tigers were also urgently assembled, one by one, barely standing in a row of eleven people, each of them brought a short weapon such as a waist knife, and a few long soldiers with long knives and iron spears, it seems that they also like to be an inch long and an inch strong in group fights.

The Lama Tigers have only been here for more than ten days, Zhang Han comes over every day to teach them the formation and mandarin duck formation, the former Zhang Han still understands a little, and the latter is completely read in Ji Xiao's new book, these days these Lama Tigers are holding weapons every day to practice, but most of them are not serious, but they also know that they are taking the silver from Zhang Han's hands, and Zhang Han's attitude is more serious when he is there every day, and he barely has an appearance when he stands in front of Zhang Han.

At this time, there was a thirty-year-old Lahu in the courtyard who was cleaning with a big broom and slowly sweeping the dirty things into a pile.

Seeing Zhang Han's gaze, the man held a broom in his hand and bowed.

"That's Lao Cai, who is almost forty years old, and he can't be ruthless, so he has to do something unproductive." Yang Qiu saw it on the side, and said with a disdainful face: "If Shaodong is not happy, his subordinates will talk to him next day and tell him to go home." ”

"No need." Yang Qiu and Liang Xing are also a little different, Liang Xing's brain is still responsible, Yang Qiu likes to watch the wind and look at the sex, and please Zhang Han, which is completely different from his image of a full face and beard.

Zhang Han shook his head and said with a smile: "This yard is very dirty, it's good to sweep it like this." ”

Now everything is created, Zhang Han does not have a capable talent, Liang Hong's uncle and nephew are still quite capable, but they still need to be trained slowly, Zhang Chun's family runs at both ends of the store, and there are still a lot of things to learn, even if Zhang Han himself is still slowly adapting to this era, how many Wen Taowu strategies can be used, and it is already good to have the current situation.

At noon, Zhang Han returned home to say goodbye to his mother, and not long after he came back, he had to go out again, Chang was reluctant, but watching his son go out to do business, he was still happy in his heart, and pulled Zhang Han to tell him about trivial things for a long time, Zhang Han didn't feel annoyed, but he felt a warmth in his heart.

Soon after noon, everyone finished their meals and drove the mules on their horses.

At this time, travel is also rare, many people in the market watched, groups of idlers stood on the side of the road, talking about Zhang Han in a low voice.

A lot of things have happened in a short period of time with Yusheng, all of which are closely related to this young proprietor, and now they have engaged in this mule and horse shop with great fanfare, the content of which is a new affair for many shopkeepers, and many people have not digested it, but this mule and horse shop has already taken over the business, which makes people feel a little surprised.

There are also many serious mule, horse and car shops in the city, and there are several foot shops, and when passing by these shops, Zhang Han felt a mixture of jealousy and hatred.

If it weren't for He Yusheng, most of this big business would have been divided by these firms, and they should have seen Zhang Han and others unpleasantly.

But I can only look at it, but there is no foot walk that can't open his eyes to fight, but Zhang Han feels that these foot walks have obvious hatred, and I'm afraid it's not so easy to stop.

Robbing people's jobs is equivalent to killing their parents, Zhang Han still has this awareness, and Yusheng and his own family He has put some guards, and now he can only use Lahu, these guys dare to fight, he wants to use more farmers and military households to train, but he has no official body and a shallow foundation, which can only be left for the future.

When the Shanxi dart shop was prosperous, there were hundreds of dart masters who could fight at the big dart shop, and Zhang Han hoped that he could do better than the ancients.

The tigers that followed Zhang Han were all armed with weapons, and they were very dazzling. These tigers are also carefully picked out, most of them have the identity of military households, not to mention the type of sword, even if it is a bow and arrow, the law of the Ming Dynasty originally forbade the people to have knives and guns, only not allowed to hide armor and bows and arrows, once found can be regarded as a rebellion, the fire gun is also a forbidden weapon, even the military towns are not allowed to be made privately, can only be obtained from the Ministry of Industry through the Ministry of War, only a small number of military towns can be made by themselves with permission, such as Jizhen and Liaodong, but the folk make bird guns can not be forbidden, especially in the south, fighting birds has been accustomed to using bird guns, It's much more convenient than a bow and arrow.

All the carriages and horses came out through the east gate and walked along the official road, Zhang Han ran a few laps in front of and behind the convoy, and made a silent calculation. Each two-wheeled vehicle can only carry 1,000 pounds of goods, and if there are more, the body is too heavy, the steering is very difficult, and the body and wheels can not bear it.

That kind of big four-wheeled carriage is very expensive, Zhang Han has seen a few, and feels that it is surprisingly heavy, although it can carry thousands of catties of goods, but it is best to transport it no more than 100 miles, that is, it is more suitable for the government to use it to transport grain over short distances, no wonder although this car has it, the number is very scarce.

Each car is made of two mules or donkeys, and the speed is six miles per hour at an average speed.

In the evening, the porters drove their carts to a mule and horse shop, which was the best choice for foot traders, with stables to take care of the mules and horses, feed the beans, wash them, and have someone to help them, as well as to cook on the fire, and it was best to rest on their feet.

Liang Hong was responsible for contacting, Zhang Han and Du Shenming rode horses and watched the sunset together and chatted, Du Shenming became more and more curious about Zhang Han, regardless of conversation and temperament, this Zhang Han did not look like a weak-crowned boy at all, but like an old businessman who had accumulated years.

After a while, Liang Hong rushed over in a hurry, and said from afar: "The owner of this shop is crazy, saying that the store is full and can't receive us, and I still can't add 30% to him." ”
