However, the finances of the small courtyard, which only had no input, were not alleviated because of this benefit, but fell into an even greater malaise a few days later.

The reason is that a prostitute in Yunliu Hutong was sick and in danger, and when the pharmacy refused to accept it, Brother Tian'er came forward, did not count the money and medicine, and gave all the bacon at home to the prostitute who was out of work because she wanted to recuperate.

After receiving the five-body gift of the mother and son, Tian Ge'er was saddled with a huge debt.

said that it was a huge debt, in fact, it was the scale of two hundred gold, but for the current finances of the small courtyard, it was almost the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Tang Luo is very peaceful, as long as he overcomes the psychological barrier, the stomach of the void can even digest the soil, but Brother Tian'er can't do it, he is a martial artist with unity of spiritual will, and his daily nutritional needs are far beyond ordinary people, but now the only thing that can be eaten in the courtyard is medicinal materials, but that thing is expensive, not to mention, it is not full.

In fact, if you use some special methods, the martial artist can achieve less consumption than ordinary people, not to mention not eating for three or five days, even ten days and a half months are not tight, but Brother Tian'er runs Yun's disguise technique all the time, and the loss is naturally far beyond ordinary people, which leads to great food loss.

If a big stomach can eat a restaurant, then two can eat a gai.

Seeing that Brother Tian'er suddenly had yellow muscles and thin muscles, Tang Luo persuaded: "I said, don't use the disguise technique in the courtyard, you can also use your luck when you go home, how much spiritual power will be consumed in a day." said that at the beginning of the year, I had stored a year's worth of food, but according to my observation, with your current appetite, even without me, those foods would not last for three months, and you are not good at arithmetic!"

After humming for a long time, Tian Ge'er still couldn't refute it, originally the food he had in Tuntun must have been enough for him to eat, because he used to live alone, as long as he went home, he could disperse the clouds and changes, but now that he is also lucky when he returns home, he will naturally greatly increase his consumption, and it is reasonable that the food is not enough to eat, but this kind of thing, he will not explain to Tang Luo.

Just encouraged: "It's okay, it'll be fine soon! Count the days, in a few days, Brother Huangfu's caravan will come back from Beibei, there are three percent of my shares there, and when the elixir is sold, you will be able to eat and drink spicy food! When the eldest brother buys half a spirit beast and comes back, make up for it!"

I don't know if it's an illusion, Tang Luo felt that Brother Tian'er's eyes were glowing green when he said this.

Since people who are hungry are not in a hurry, he, a person who can eat bud rice poles, does not need to be in a hurry.

......

The ninth day of October in 1785 in the Longzhou calendar

I don't know if the heavens really heard Brother Tian'er's call, and the Huangfu caravan really returned to Chaochang.

And contrary to the expected situation, the owner of the caravan, Huangfu Facai, died in the north, and even the caravan's animal carts lost more than half, and only a few old shopkeepers returned with Huangfu's only son and scattered goods.

This is the case with merchants, if they are successful, they may be able to lay the economic foundation of a clan, but if they do not, they may have nothing.

Seeing that the Huangfu family is about to complete the transformation from a big merchant to a clan, but this time the failed merchant is very likely to make the Huangfu family fall into the quagmire.

Huangfu Wang, the only son of Huangfu Facai, handed over the matter of selling goods to the shopkeeper after entering the city, but he hurried to the entrance of the East Market.

Following his father's instructions, he found the front door of Brother Tian'er's house, and when he took a big bite of the door, he knocked down his head with tears streaming down his face: "Brother Tian'er, before my father died, I asked me to come to you as soon as I returned to Chaochang, saying that you have a way to save the lives of the emperor's family!"

Brother Tian was stunned for a moment, then recognized the young Huangfu Wang, helped him up and let him into the house: "Come in and say!"

The depressed young man entered the small courtyard, and after drinking a bowl of hot tea, he slowly said the strange trip of the Huangfu caravan: "It was very smooth at the beginning, because of the relationship between the Longxi Alliance, most of this trip went to the Lingjiang waterway, and I didn't meet the water bandits or the bandits, and I went to the north smoothly." ”

But as soon as he entered the Minshan boundary, the situation took a turn for the worse, and the earthen village that had been trading with the Huangfu family for more than ten years became in ruins, and the local guide who led the way went crazy on the spot after seeing it, saying that he wanted to avenge the earthen village. The father realized that the situation was not right, and hurriedly evacuated with the caravan, but before he could get out of Minshan, he was ambushed. ”

"The natives who never took the initiative to attack the caravan in the past killed people this time, as if just to vent the anger in their hearts, the caravan lost a small half a cart of living creatures, and more than ten guards were killed before escaping from Minshan, but just out of Minshan, they were ambushed again at the mouth of the cliff, this time it was a group of robbers wearing cyan uniforms and embroidered with various beast patterns on their chests!"

"After my father took most of the guards to the caravan, he was finally outnumbered and died in battle!"

Speaking of this, the young man's eyes were red, and he choked up at one point, and his hands holding the teacup trembled uncontrollably.

The death of the helmsman in battle is almost a catastrophe for this kind of small family that has not accumulated enough foundation.

Guarding the families who died in the war need pensions, the strongmen who have invested in the shares need to see the money back, and the shopkeepers also need to eat.

Each of these things weighed down the young Huangfu Wang, and Chaochang has never been a peaceful place.

People who fail to do business like Huangfu Facai don't know how many people will appear in Chaochang every year.

What is really fatal is never the result of this business failure, but how to face the fall of the rest of the forces after losing the helm and emptying the family.

Shopkeepers and workers are also human beings, and they also have families to support, and no one wants to follow an inexperienced young man.

These shopkeepers were able to bring Huangfu Wang back to Chaochang, and they didn't kill him halfway, which can be regarded as repaying Huangfu's fortune and breaking off the affection.

But returning to Chaochang is not the end, just a beginning, this trip to the Huangfu family made up their minds to get a big ticket, the scale of this caravan is unprecedented, there are thirty beast chariots alone, almost reaching the scale of the family.

And to achieve this extent, Huangfu made a fortune not only invested half of his life savings, but also found a few well-known money people in the east market to join the shares.

used to be the boss of the Qingtian Gang, the second senior brother of the Ding Clan's Daoist Pavilion, and the shopkeeper of the Yunlai Inn, the shares of these three people alone accounted for fifty percent, and there were also some scattered "line money" that made money.

This kind of color must be added, because the helmsman of the Huangfu family has gone out, and Chaochang is left with only orphans and widows, and some profits are shared, which is also to protect the family and let the family have a care for accidents.

If this business can be successful, according to the current price of elixir in Longzhou, the Huangfu family will have a foothold, but with the death of Huangfu Facai, all this has been disillusioned, and the young Huangfu Wang was forced into a corner by great fear.
