According to the law of the Great Jin Dynasty, there are regulations on the size of the merchant's house, and the color of the door is also regulated, and the merchant's door is only allowed to be black or gray, this vermilion can only be used by the scholars, and the size of the door is also large, ten feet high, far more than the official regulation of six feet.

Xiao Qi jumped out of the car, and ran in to find the shopkeeper, Liu Han stood at the door with a deep frown, and did not go inside, Liu Tie and the third girl were behind him, Liu Tie had followed him for many years and knew his mind.

"Master, now these are not so strict, aren't we going to be here for a few days, and the shopkeeper Wang is also kind. ”

Liu Han's face was still sinking like water, and he said after a while: "I have told you more than once, details determine success or failure, don't think that this is Guzang, it doesn't matter, although the world is big, but in the eyes of those who have a heart, it is very small." ”

Liu Tie's expression was tight, he didn't dare to say anything, in fact, he just wanted to intercede for the king's shopkeeper, the king's shopkeeper was the master's most powerful cadre, the master put him in Guzang at the beginning, giving him great power, these years the king's shopkeeper has worked hard, Hanhai Trading Company has today's scale, and the king's shopkeeper has made great contributions.

At this time, a middle-aged man in his fifties wearing a brocade robe flew out of the door, and when he arrived in front of Liu Han, he knelt down, his body trembled constantly, and he raised his head for a while, but he was already in tears.

"Master!" the middle-aged man choked up, and after saying two words, he couldn't say any more, just kept sighing.

Seeing the middle-aged man's expression, Liu Hanben's anger disappeared, and he sighed softly: "Get up." ”

The middle-aged man choked, Liu Tie went up to help him, the middle-aged man shook his head firmly, and insisted on kowtowing to Liu Han three times, only then did he stand up, Xiao Qi and the two trading company guys ran over, and they were a little stunned when they saw this, and it took a while to react, and they quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Get up, what should you do, what to do. Liu Han said, the middle-aged man hurriedly waved his hand, and Xiao Qi and the two guys hurriedly stepped aside.

"I received a dodo message a month ago, and I knew that the master was coming, and the slave ......," the king shopkeeper said in a low voice.

"What's going on with this house?" Liu Han interrupted him and asked.

"This house was originally the house of Sima of Liangzhou Mansion, Sima is a native of Yanzhou, forty years old this year, a few days ago, he resigned and returned to his hometown, and entrusted the house to the slave to sell, and the slave thought that the master was coming, so he did not sell it for the time being, besides, the market is not good now, and it can't be sold at a good price, thinking that the market will be good in a few days and then sold. Shopkeeper Wang explained.

Liu Han nodded slightly, if this is the case, it is not the fault of the shopkeeper Wang, Liu Tie breathed a sigh of relief in the back, knowing that this matter is over, his master does not rub sand in his eyes, he is shrewd and abnormal, and there are more than a dozen subordinates who have been disposed of over the years.

The shopkeeper led Liu Han and them in, Liu Han looked at the house while walking, the house is very large, the pattern of three into three, carved beams and painted buildings, magnificent, there is a small garden in the backyard, such a house is also considered a first-class house in Liangzhou.

When I arrived at the study, the study was empty, except for a few chairs, there was nothing else, and the owner had already moved all the books before I came.

Although they came in a hurry, they walked around the courtyard, and when they entered the study, the tea was ready, Liu Han sat on the chair, Liu Tie was still standing by the door, Tianna gave them tea and then retreated, Liu Han asked them to clean up the bedroom.

"Lao Wang, sit down, we haven't seen each other for seven or eight years, our hair is gray, we are much older, and I have worked hard for you. ”

Liu Han casually said a greeting, so that the shopkeeper Wang was so excited that he cried again, he sighed: "Master, this is what you say, this is the duty of the slave, if it wasn't for the master to save him, the slave would have been buried in a foreign land, and the slave's family had already died of hunger, there is still the scenery of the slave today, and everything the slave today is given by the master." ”

Liu Han got up and went over, took out a cotton handkerchief, there was a faint fragrance on the handkerchief, and handed it to the shopkeeper Wang, the shopkeeper Wang hurriedly excused himself, Liu Han insisted on giving it to him, and the shopkeeper Wang took it gratefully, wiped the tears on his face, and then carefully put away the handkerchief.

"What's the situation in the store?" asked Liu Han.

"Fortunately, several caravans of the Zhan family were attacked on the trade route and suffered heavy losses, and they didn't dare to send another caravan out in a short time. ”

Speaking of business, the shopkeeper Wang immediately seemed to have changed his face, his expression changed immediately, Liu Tie smiled secretly in his heart, the Zhan family is the main competitor of the Hanhai Trading Company, and he personally led people to attack the Zhan family's caravan, the caravan was all killed from top to bottom, leaving no one alive, the last time the master personally went out and killed an eight-grade martial artist raised by the Zhan family, this thing was done unknowingly, the Zhan family checked several times, and did not find the slightest clue.

"Is the family okay?" asked Liu Han again.

"Thanks to the master's blessing, it's all good, the eldest son got married last year, the younger one is also married, the big girl is out of the cabinet this year, does the master want to stay and drink a glass of wine. ”

Speaking of a few children, the shopkeeper Wang is obviously a little happy, according to the law of the Great Jin, the shopkeeper Wang is his slave, but his wife and children are not slaves, however, as the son of a slave, the future development will be subject to many restrictions, such as can not enter the academy, can not enlist in the army, can not be an official, etc., and the marriage is also restricted, no one wants to marry the daughter to the slave's son;

Before the eldest son of the shopkeeper Wang married, Liu Han sent the documents of the free identity of the shopkeeper Wang, so the shopkeeper Wang is now a free person, which makes the shopkeeper Wang grateful and still insists on being a slave in front of Liu Han.

"I don't need to drink wine, I can't stay here for a few days, let's talk about Gu Zang's situation. Liu Han said.

"The biggest thing Gu Zang has done recently is that the imperial court ordered General Qiu to return to the court. The shopkeeper said solemnly.

"Oh, when did this happen?" Liu Han was a little surprised, he and Liu Tie exchanged glances, and the two of them thought of Qiu Ge and the team of black panthers almost at the same time, this Qiu Ge's mouth was so tight, and the two of them walked along the way for a few days, but they didn't reveal it at all.

"Half a month ago, the imperial edict has been half a month. ”

"Has General Qiu set off?"

Shopkeeper Wang shook his head: "Not yet, Gu Zang is talking about it now, and most of the family lords don't want General Qiu to return to the dynasty." ”

"Why is this?" Liu Han wondered.

"It seems to be related to the situation in the imperial capital, Lao Sun has not been in the emperor for a long time, and he has not been able to get any news. The shopkeeper said: "There is news from Chang'an Lao Bina, saying that all the four governors have been recalled, and the news from the Qin Wangfu is said to be seriously ill today, but the news from the General's Mansion yesterday is that the Holy Lord has been cured, and the prime minister and the Taishi were summoned ten days ago. ”

The shopkeeper looked at Liu Han's expression while speaking, Liu Han's face was expressionless, he couldn't see a trace of abnormality, he didn't understand, why did the master inquire about these movements, when he was training in the Western Regions, he understood the relationship between the movements of the imperial court and commerce, but this imperial capital is thousands of miles away, what does it have to do with Liangzhou?

But if the master doesn't explain, he won't be able to ask.

For this master, he admires it from the bottom of his heart.

Not because it saved his life, or because it gave him freedom.

On the surface, he is fighting the world in Guzang, but he knows in his heart that every move he makes in Guzang and every major move of Hanhai Trading Company has the shadow of this master behind him, and major business decisions are decided by this master, he is just an executor.

"Will Qiuyun go back?

General Qiu wrote that he would postpone his return to Beijing, and the opinions of the general's office were very different, Changshi thought that he should not return to Beijing at this time, and suggested that General Qiu should write a letter, while others thought that he should return to Beijing immediately to relieve his doubts. ”

"Suspicious?" Liu Han repeated noncommittally, his tone was a little mocking, the shopkeeper Wang and Liu Tie exchanged glances, both of them had doubts in their hearts, and they didn't know what Liu Han was referring to.

"What's going on with Fonda?" Liu Han didn't explain, but continued to ask.

Fang Da is the second person in the Xiliang Army, the official worships the crossbow general, commands 10,000 border troops, and is the general who commands the most troops under the Qiuyun tent.

"I don't know," Shopkeeper Wang was a little confused: "I inquired, since the arrival of the Holy Decree, Fang Da has stayed in the army, nothing to do without leaving the barracks, but stepping up the training of the army. ”

"Oh, this Fonda kind of interesting. Liu Han was still noncommittal, and after a pause, he asked again: "Is there any news from Pan Cheng and Du Se?"

Shopkeeper Wang shook his head, Pan Cheng and Du Sai were ordered to go to Youzhou and Bingzhou respectively to develop business, but these two people have only been there for two months, and Shopkeeper Wang is a little optimistic about them, especially Du Sai. Du Sai was only twenty-six or seventeen years old, and he had been in the Western Regions before, and suddenly appeared in Guzang two months ago, holding Liu Han's order in his hand, asking him to allocate 50,000 taels of silver and hand it over to Du Sai at his disposal.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper Wang said carefully: "Master, the profit of the trading company this year is much less. ”

"How much profit can we make this year?"

Shopkeeper Wang thought for a moment: "There are about 80,000 yuan, not counting what you brought this time." ”

"What I brought this time is going to be brought to the imperial capital, um," Liu Han said in a deep voice: "You transfer another 30,000 silver out, I have to add some things in Liangzhou, Liu Tie will give the list to Lao Wang later," After speaking, he turned his head to the Wang shopkeeper and said: "The shopping mall is like a battlefield, Lao Wang, Gu Zang was the front line in the past, now Gu Zang is the rear, the imperial capital is the front line, the rear is unstable, and the front cannot win the battle, I will hand over this Gu Zang to you." ”

Shopkeeper Wang was a little confused, looked at Liu Han in confusion, and said carefully after a while: "Master, I don't understand very much, please show the master." ”

"From now on, Gu Zang's business will no longer expand, or even shrink, you have to pay attention to making friends with the major valve families in Liangzhou, isn't it difficult for the Zhan family now, we can pull them along, however, we must grasp the proportion. ”

Liu Han continued without explanation: "You have to strengthen the connection with Fangda, Fangda's position is extremely important now, whether Qiuyun leaves Liangzhou or not, his position is extremely important, well, from now on, Fangda's every move must be understood." ”

After a pause, he raised his head and asked, "Is this Fangda a scholar or a Shu clan?"

"The Shu people, in the Western Army, have a brave name, love soldiers like children, in the Battle of the Golden Leaf Grassland, beheaded the Xianbei brave general Tu Bald, and has a very high prestige in the army. This time it was Liu Tie who answered, since the Hanhai Trading Company established a society in Guzang, it began to collect information on the main officials and generals of Liangzhou and even Qinzhou, their origins, hobbies, families, relationships with colleagues, etc., these materials began to be collected in Liu Tie's hands, and now they are all handed over to Lao Huang.

Liu Han shook his head: "It's been more than ten years since the Golden Leaf Grassland War, and he can still bring more than 10,000 soldiers in Liangzhou, why?

Shopkeeper Wang and Liu Tie didn't understand very well, the two exchanged glances suspiciously, Liu Han sighed softly, if it was Lao Huang, he would understand.

Since the suppression of the Xianbei rebellion, the border has been generally calm, even if there are some small frictions, it is not a big deal at all, it has just become an opportunity for the border generals to take credit, how can those gate lord families watch Fang Da in Liangzhou for more than ten years, and still control more than 10,000 brave men in the Liangzhou army?

Liu Han didn't believe it.

"Fang Da is only in his thirties this year, and it is rumored that he is a subordinate of the former Zhifeng Zhonglang General Gou Xun, in a battle, Gou Xun is in ambush, it is he who fights desperately, keeps Gou Xun out of the encirclement, and promotes Gou Xun, in more than ten years, the small battle is twenty-six, the big war is eleven, and the merit is promoted to the crossbow Zhonglang general. ”

Liu Tie immediately recited Fang Da's resume, and from the beginning of its establishment, Hanhai Trading Company collected the resumes of major officials in Liangzhou, and it was not difficult to collect these resumes, which were recorded in Liangzhou Mansion and General Mansion.

"These are on the surface, and what is not on the table is the real thing. Liu Han frowned slightly, he didn't tell anyone what he wanted in his heart, Liu Tie Lao Huang guessed that he must have something big to do when he returned to Jin this time, but Liu Tie was loyal and didn't ask, he followed him with all his heart, Lao Huang knocked on the side, but he didn't explain, because he felt that it was not time to explain.
