Chapter 77 Report
"Young master, the bandits who surrendered were robbers from the stronghold a hundred miles away. Someone sent them a letter saying that there are many treasures outside the city today, and asked them to contact more people to come and catch everyone."

The black armor guard who went to hunt down the robbers came back and reported the information he heard to Huo Jing, and Lu Weimang followed him to listen.

After hearing this, you don't need to think about it to know that it was done by the families with the most business routes.They used to take advantage of the objective conditions that the commercial roads were difficult to travel, used their lives to fill out a bloody road, monopolized the commercial roads, and made a lot of money. They brought up the trading center of Qionglai in the past.

At this time, when I saw the nobles from the capital come to disrupt the situation, of course I was not reconciled to letting other people share a share of the golden business route. Therefore, I thought that when the tax was collected for the first time at the pass, it would be more violent, so that even if it was still blocked in the future Without caravans and merchants, at the very least, it can damage the prestige of the pass, so that the tax cannot be collected smoothly in the future. The merchants, of course, know that the tax is a lot of money.

After hearing the report, Huo Jing was not surprised. They came here to formulate new rules, and of course the beneficiaries of the original rules would resist, which is predictable.

"Arrest all the families that have been detected by the Black Armor Guard recently, and have any abnormalities. There is no need to interrogate them, and you don't need to worry about how they explain themselves. Just wait for the bandits to come out with their confessions, and take them to identify them one by one, and don't let them go!"

Huo Jing said coldly.

"Here!"

A black armored guard led the way.

Another person immediately stepped forward to report, "General Huo, a total of 1650 taels of tax silver was collected at the pass today."

"Well, I got it, let everyone be proficient in business as soon as possible, tell you generals, send more people every day, and take turns practicing in these few days. This is just the beginning. In a few days, there should be large-scale retail merchants entering and exiting the customs. At that time, if you are not proficient in business and cause congestion at the pass, I will ask you to join the general!"

The faint voice was filled with killing intent.In the army, obeying orders is the first duty. As a leader, Huo Jing, of course, has the right to life and death.

"Here!"

The man took orders.

Finally, it is the report of the caravan.I saw Wang Xinliang, Song Tongsheng, and several small leaders of the caravan came together to meet Huo Jing.

For them, it was a fluke to join the Huo family. At this time, wealth is still secondary to them. Even the county magistrate looks at the name of the Huo family and treats them with courtesy. It's a moment of honor for them.

"Get up, everyone. Since you are under my Huo family, you must abide by my Huo family's rules. If I find anyone who violates it, or even uses the name of the Huo family to commit crimes, unless he goes to heaven and earth in the future, otherwise, the Huo family The executioner will chase him to the ends of the earth to finish him off."

This condescending attitude made everyone in the caravan lower their heads, and they fell on the ground one after another, expressing their loyalty unanimously, "From now on, we will honor the glory of the Huo family, and if there is any offense, I will apologize with death!"

"Well, get up!"

Only then did Wang Xinliang and the others get up, lower their heads and stand aside. Only Song Tongsheng stood where he was, and presented the ledger in his hand, "Master, this is the list of today's goods. The horses did not move according to your order, and other goods were bid on the spot. It's all sold. The best part, which isn't sold, is here."

It is also Huo Jing's instruction to deal with these goods on the spot. At this stage, what is needed is to make Qionglai's name famous. Only when there is a steady stream of good goods sold here, then merchants from all over the world will smell like flies. The smell flew over.At that time, Qionglai will become a veritable gateway for the imperial court to lay golden eggs.

Huo Jing looked at the ledger in his hand and the bank note handed over, and returned it to Song Tongsheng.

"You take over here for the time being, and it won't be too late for you to hand over when the person to connect arrives."

Huo Jing was still indifferent as before, as if nothing in this world could move him.

After everyone in the caravan resigned, Lu Weimang couldn't help jumping up in joy, "The merchants get a commission, the goods get a commission, and the harvest from the on-site bidding for the goods, and next, the money that the caravan received from the merchant's followers , it seems that we are going to get rich soon!"

Lu Weimang has never had such an easy way to get money. Although she proposed this method, she still couldn't help being excited when her prediction became a reality.

Huo Jing smiled, "Dedicating such a good method to His Majesty, do you regret it now? Tell me, I will return the caravan to you!"

Although Guo Jing's words were indifferent, the things involved in the words were not small. If it was said that before the caravan did not show its strong ability to attract money, it was just a matter of Huo Jing's words.But at this time, the caravan has shown a terrifying ability to attract money, and Huo Jing still said so, but he spoke with confidence, as if Lu Weimang could really attribute the caravan to Lu Weimang's name by speaking.

Lu Weimang knew that Huo Jing would never speak lies, so when he heard this, his heart trembled, and he immediately waved his hands, "I can't bear it, I can't bear it, if this is mine, I won't be able to sleep every night. "

Lu Weimang told the truth, Huo Jing chuckled, "Look at your talent."

Lu Weimang scratched his head, and Huo Jing immediately said seriously, "The officials sent by the court to preside over the pass will arrive in Qionglai in a few days. After the handover, we will return to the capital. There are also people who are connected with the caravan. I'll be there. If you want to shop, play, or buy things, try to shop, play, and buy as much as you can in the past few days, buy more, and take them as souvenirs when you go back. Your majesty is probably waiting anxiously in Kyoto No, we need to hurry up on our return journey. There is no chance for you to go shopping along the way."

Lu Weimang straightened his face, "I'm an official of the imperial court after all, why would I just care about having fun? I've already trained, and I'm sure I won't be a hindrance when I return."

Huo Jing smiled wickedly, "Really? I hope so."

Lu Weimang's face suddenly turned red, and he turned his head away from Huo Jing's appearance at this time. The person who has been sullen all day, suddenly looks like this, which makes people feel dazzling, so he just panicked to break the panic in his heart, "By the way , um, what do I want to say? That's right!"

Lu Weimang clapped her hands and looked at Huo Jing. When she had something serious to say, she could resist all kinds of temptations, including beauty, "After we return to Beijing, we should start building a supporting business route to Qionglai. With the caravan, the trading volume of various goods will increase greatly. In Shu County alone, the supply may be in short supply. When the price of goods rises, it will affect the daily life of the people in Shu County. It is not good. We should do our best to Calm down the prices here. For example, tea, the local tea in Qionglai has a tendency to increase in price at the moment, we can transfer the tea from Jiangnan, and salt. From Qin Hou, we can send special salt to Qionglai, and also There is silk, the local silk of Shu County is very exquisite, it is a pity to sell it to the Qiang people, you can transport the silk from Jingyang and Yangzhou, and then transport the silk from Shu County to Dagan. In this way, most of the silk can be sold Work hard to revitalize the territory! The economy will improve, and the lives of the people will be easier."

Huo Jing's eyes lit up when Lu Weimang spoke from point to surface, and Huo Jing's eyes lit up. Even Ding Yi and Lin Chen were yearning for the beautiful scene Lu Weimang described.They are people who have fought wars, not the dudes who don't eat the fireworks in the capital. The wars in various places have just stopped, and the people are living a miserable life without tomorrow. With some living money and savings, you can have some hope in life.

Suddenly, Lin Chen interrupted Lu Weimang, "Miss Lu, it's easy for you to say, but the road to Shu is so difficult, we walked it ourselves. Do you think ordinary people can easily transport large quantities of goods?"

Facing the eyes of the three people looking at him, Lu Weimang smiled mysteriously, "This requires the power of capital. Someone said that once there is a proper profit, the capital will be bold. If there is a 10% profit , it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; if there is 20% profit, it will be active; if there is 50% profit, it will take risks; for 100% profit, it will dare to trample on all human laws; dares to commit any crime, even risking hanging. If disturbance and strife can bring profit, it will encourage disturbance and strife."

After hearing this, Huo Jing was silent, Lin Chen still scratched his head, "Miss Lu, what does this mean?"

Lu Weimang sighed, "Do you know how strong people's desire for a better life is? Disaster victims can migrate thousands of miles just for one bite of food to survive. As for businessmen, as long as they see benefits, there will be wave after wave. People came forward one after another to open the way to Shu. When we came, wasn’t the road that the merchants took now? In the future, there will be more merchants entering Shu County, and if we continue, sooner or later, the natural moat of the Shu Road will be turned into a smooth road.”

After hearing this, Lin Chen said blankly, "Although it makes sense, why do you think it's a little scary?"

Of course it's scary, and people's hearts can fill mountains and seas.Desire makes people dare not look directly.

Lu Weimang suddenly smiled, "What are you afraid of? No matter what it is, as long as it is supervised and severely punished for outrageous behavior, there is nothing to be afraid of. Although desires are unlimited, most people have red lines in their hearts. Be content and always be happy. Keep these four things in mind. Words can guarantee the safety of [-]% of people."

"What about the remaining [-]%?"

"That's hard to say, anything is possible."

...

The past few days have been the happiest days since Lu Weimang left Kyoto. He sleeps until he wakes up naturally, and then goes out to climb mountains and see water. Big, but almost all the specialties of Shu County are concentrated.Lu Weimang mainly buys some dry cured meat and the like, but other things are not unusual. She is rich, and although the Shu brocade in Kyoto is more expensive, she can afford it, but these special delicacies, outside of Shu County, where can there be authentic ones?
Today, the official who took over the pass from Kyoto also came, and as expected, it was Niu Changqing, the eldest son of Duke Niu, a top nobleman.

Although this Mr. Niu has an extraordinary family background, he has no airs, is amiable, and does things practically. On the first day, apart from exchanging greetings with Huo Jing, he immediately started the process of getting familiar with the business.

Lu Weimang followed Huo Jing to present the specific information of this pass, as well as the development route in recent years, and also conducted in-depth communication.After Mr. Niu had started to attack, the queen sent over, and the stewards of the caravan also came. The strong general had no weak soldiers under him, and he knew at a glance that he was a shrewd and capable person.When the caravan came back for the second time, under the witness of Huo Jing, after several people handed over the account books, it was time for Huo Jing, Lu Weimang and others to set off for Beijing.

Who knew that at this moment, an urgent message came from [-] miles away, "There is a change in the northern border, return quickly."
