Chapter 72 Buying Land
"Young master, the soldiers and horses of the Shu County camp are already on their way, and they will arrive in Qionglai in two days at most. It was Luo Xiang, the general of Shu County, who personally led the troops."

The last time I went to the camp of Shu County to borrow horses, it has already made the camp of Shu County pay attention to the situation in Qionglai County, so this time I got a warrant from Huo Jing to let the general of Shu County divide a battalion of soldiers and horses to station in Qionglai, so that the horse gang can come back later , To prepare for the tax collection, the general of Shu County couldn't sit still, and personally led his cronies over, and met Huo Jing, the current general of Northern Xinjiang, by the way.

Huo Jing was not surprised to hear that.Although the main camp of Shu County is based in Shu County, Qionglai is also a county seat under the jurisdiction of Shu County, so the participation of Shu County's generals is not considered leaving their posts without authorization.In the future, Qionglai will successfully set up a card to collect taxes, and it will also need the backing of the Shu County Camp.

"Oh, I see."

Huo Jing said lightly, and then looked down at the map of Qionglai in his hand.

Qionglai County is the best place to go out of Shu County. The terrain here is relatively flat and the traffic is developed. It also means that it will not be easy to set up a card. All routes out of Shu must be controlled to prevent large-scale tax evasion in the later stage. possible.

"Is the route survey going well, and have you selected the corresponding monitoring points?"

Huo Jing raised his head and asked Ding Yi and Lin Chen in front of him.When dealing with business matters, Lin Chen and Ding Yi both looked solemn. They knew the young master's habits and would not playfully smile on business matters.

Ding Yi was recently in charge of contacting the Daying of Shu County, and Lin Chen was handling the matter of setting up the card. Therefore, at this time, Lin Chen bowed and replied, "My lord, the monitoring points on all sides of Qionglai have been selected, and they are located in the east city. There is a tax gate at the gate, and construction is underway at this time, and it should be completed in a few days."

Huo Jing nodded, and then got up, "Let's go, go to the inspection point and tax gate you mentioned, at most ten days, the first batch of goods from the caravan will be transported back to the city, and all tasks must be guaranteed to be done there. It was completed before, and there can be no mistakes."

Huo Jing strode ahead, followed by Lin Chen and Ding Yi, and went out the door. Huo Jing's gaze skipped over Lu Weimang's room next to him, and stopped suddenly.

"Go and see if Ms. Lu is in the room. It's best for the two of us to go together for inspection and confirmation."

Lin Chen moved quickly. As soon as Huo Jing finished speaking, he came to the door of Lu Weimang's room and knocked lightly.

"Miss Lu? Are you there? The young master invites you to check the level together."

There were three knocks on the door and one inquiry, but the room was still silent and no one answered.Lin Chen turned his head to look at Huo Jing, Huo Jing frowned at this moment, "Go ask the shopkeeper."

"Young master, the shopkeeper said that Miss Lu left the house at three o'clock. It seems that she made an appointment with the owner of the dental shop to meet at the inn and left the city directly."

Huo Jing's face darkened.In the past few days, the formation of the caravan has been completed, and the establishment of the card has been carried out step by step in an orderly manner. Lu Weimang has started to let herself go. She used the excuse that she has no experience in setting the card, and completely pushed the matter to Huo Jing, while she herself started to work. For other things, getting up early and returning late every day, everyone has not seen her for several days, let alone having dinner together as in the past few days.

Ding Yi saw that the young master looked ugly, and suggested, "It's better to leave a few black armored guards in the inn to leave a letter for Miss Lu. If Miss Lu comes back early, you can ask the black armored guards to take Miss Lu to the checkpoint to talk to the young master. The main rendezvous. At that time, you and Ms. Lu can go to inspect the checkpoint again. Anyway, they are all around Qionglai County, and it only takes half an hour to run around on horseback."

Huo Jing nodded and asked Ding Yi to leave the arrangement. He took Lin Chen to the tax gate first.

Over there, Lu Weimang got up early in the morning and had already gone out of the city with the chief officer of the dental office.

Now everyone in the county knows that Lu Weimang is a nobleman from Kyoto, and the caravan has been completed, so Lu Weimang has not followed Huo Jing like a few days ago and continued to pretend to be a brother and sister.Anyway, people with overlapping identities know it's not the case, and there's no need for them to pretend anymore.

The caravan will return to the city in at most ten days. Huo Jing and the black armored guards will handle the establishment of the checkpoint, so she has to hurry up and go to her own affairs.

"Master Chang, haven't you arrived yet?"

Lu Weimang went out this time by riding a horse. He thought that Qionglai, a small place, could only be reached by riding a horse for a quarter of an hour at most, but it turned out that he hadn't arrived after half an hour of riding.

"Miss Lu, I'll be there soon. It's because this place is more remote, so there are people who want to sell the tea mountains here. In the place near the county, the tea mountain owners are like holding golden eggs, asking prices all over the sky, it's really not worth it."

The caravan was established. In the past, they carried things to the Muya Grassland for trading in a small way. In the future, they may trade with the Qiang people on a large scale.Therefore, even though the caravan has not come back, and the role of the caravan has not yet been fully demonstrated, some people with a keen sense of smell are already hoarding goods and seizing resources.

As the gold business road, tea, the most in-demand commodity, is of course the first to bear the brunt.Merchants began to hoard tea, and local gentry began to buy tea hills.

At the beginning, Song Tongsheng's wife sold the tea mountain to Lu Weimang for three hundred taels. Afterwards, Song Tong became his own person. Of course, Lu Weimang couldn't take advantage of this and returned the original price of the tea mountain.Although Song Tongsheng said he would not accept it, Lu Weimang insisted on returning it, and told Song Tongsheng that he would become his own person in the future, and the financial accounts must be clear. Song Tongsheng, as the master and deputy head of the caravan, let alone let people say that he got the favor because he bribed the nobles in Kyoto.How many indestructible groups are scattered because of rumors and suspicions, so in the caravan, this possibility must be eliminated from the beginning.

Song Tongsheng also knew the importance of it, and took back the tea mountain.

With the caravan on the gold business road, the shipment volume has been greatly increased. Seeing that the opportunity to make money every day is coming, how can Lu Weimang sit and watch, so she sees that the errands are almost done, so she asks the dealer to help her. Ask yourself, if there is any tea mountain nearby that you want to sell, the premium can be doubled.

Lu Weimang spent a lot of money, and the dental shop really found a suitable place for her. Today they went to check it out. If there is no problem, Lu Weimang will have a property in Qionglai in the future.Although the income may not be as much as Snowflake Salt, as long as the Qionglai checkpoint and the caravan exist, this industry is a chicken that lays golden eggs, which can continuously produce considerable income for her.

"It's here, Miss Lu, look, it's there!"

Lu Weimang raised his head and looked at the place pointed by Yaxing. There was a stretch of hills there. It seemed that the altitude should be only tens of meters above sea level. Mang might not even recognize it as a mountain.

When we got closer, we saw several rows of mud houses, covered with thatch, built according to the terrain.The small village is very quiet, except for a few cock crows, there is no other sound.

"The little one made an agreement with the village chief, he should be waiting for us at home now."

Lu Weimang got off his horse and followed Yaxing to the village.

When we entered the village, we could occasionally see a few ragged children playing in the village through the low fence.When they saw Lu Weimang and others who suddenly broke into the village, as well as the tall horses, their eyes glowed eagerly.

Lu Weimang turned his head and glanced at the black armored guards who were following behind him. Huo Jing ordered the two of them to follow Lu Weimang all the time and listen to her instructions since they entered Qionglai County.

Seeing the solid figure of the black armored guard at this time, Lu Weimang was relieved.

Seeing that Lu Weimang looked worried, Na Yaxing hurriedly dismissed the children who were staring at the crowd, and explained to Lu Weimang, "This is Yujia Village, and the fields in their village are not suitable for growing food, so we will take the whole The power of the village has planted the tea trees in these mountains. But their village does not know much about tea, so the price is often lowered by tea merchants. I can’t go to the city a few times, and the whole village only has one ox cart, so it’s very strange to see our horses.”

Lu Weimang nodded. In this era, if you know a few words, you can go to the city to find a job, and if you know a little arithmetic, you can go to the city to work as an accountant. People know that knowledge is precious, but they can't even eat enough, and they can't even live It's not easy, so where does the opportunity and money come from to study?

Therefore, in ancient times, if a businessman wanted to make a fortune, as long as his heart was dark enough, a remote village like Yujia Village was oppressed by several tea merchants because of opaque information and difficult roads. The tea leaves were all made into wedding dresses for these tea merchants.

However, Yujia Village has a relationship with the dental office manager in the county, so it can be seen that there is still some knowledge, but not much.

While observing the people in this small village, Lu Weimang followed the head of the dentist to the east of the village.

An old man in coarse clothes appeared at the door. When he saw Lu Weimang and other well-dressed and imposing people, he flinched at the first moment, and he still gritted his teeth. Then the old man showed a simple and enthusiastic smile, " Officer, you are here, come in and drink tea, the journey is far away, please excuse me."

Although the steward of the tooth shop is also a small official in the county government, no one calls him that in the county on weekdays, because the job of the tooth shop is a low-level job, and only in such a rural place can someone respect him so much .

The steward of the tooth shop glanced at Lu Weimang, saw that her expression remained unchanged, and then spoke to the old man, "Okay, I brought a nobleman to your village today. If the nobleman is willing to make a move, you will have a chance to make some money in Yujia Village in the future." A promising one."

When the old man heard this, he bowed even harder. The nobleman was dressed in silk, and their earthen house was full of dust. Even after cleaning it early in the morning, it still had the smell of loess, so he said awkwardly, "Your nobleman, come in and have a drink." Tea, rest your feet."

Yaxing waved his hand, "Don't say extra polite words, let's make a quick decision today. You lead us to the tea mountain to have a look, and let the nobleman see you, and then talk about other things."

The old man didn't want to enter the house, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "Your honor, please, a few days ago, I heard that the official of the dental shop found you a nobleman. Just go."
