Uncle Shi was stunned for a moment and then said: "The fabrics of our Shu land, especially Shu brocade, will not worry about being sold no matter where they are."
Because he gambled too much back then, he planned to change his mind and go out to run a business. The first thing he did was the fabric business, and he went there once a year. As long as he came back safely, he would make money.
"Then it must be muslin at the last time, right?"
"Of course," Uncle Shi said, "the better the fabric, the more precious it is outside, and it's also more expensive. Before, how much did you sell a batch of ordinary fabric and fine cloth? Get on your load of muslin."
But the cost is too high.
Zhou Zhoulang sighed and said: "It's hard to have no connections." He still has some money now, although the money he brought back is not much, but there are second and third brothers here, first embezzle their private funds, and when they arrive The capital will take it out from the public house and return it to them.
Uncle Shi immediately said: "I have connections."
Zhou Zhou Lang's eyes lit up, and he immediately put his hands on his shoulders, and the two brothers seemed to say: "Good brother, don't worry, when the time comes, I will ask someone to give Xiao Lang a comfortable car, um, the mule is calm, let the mule pull the car." The car is ready, I must not wrong him."
Uncle Shi let out a breath, and also smiled, and put his shoulders on Zhou Zhoulang's shoulders, the two brothers seemed to say, "I'm relieved to have a brother, let's go, let's go out for a drink, and take you to meet a few people by the way. "
The Shi family used to be one of the richest families in Luojiang County, except for the low-key Bai family, it was the Shi family and the Luo family.
The Bai family moved here later, and they have not settled in Luojiang County for a long time. Unlike the Shi family, they were born and raised here and have always been here.
So Uncle Shi knows a lot of people, and there are even more people who know Uncle Shi.
Although he has a bad reputation now and many people avoid him, they are afraid of being implicated by him, but if they come to him to do profitable business, there are still many people who are willing to greet him with a smile on their faces.
They don't have any real enmity with Uncle Shi, let alone Qian
But there are not many silk brocades in Luojiang County, so Uncle Shi told him: "If you want to talk about Shu brocade, you still have to go to Yizhou City. I also know a few shopkeepers there. Today we will first meet the cloth shop in Luojiang County. Let's see." Look at their fine cloth and satin, and go to Yizhou City tomorrow."
Zhou Zhou Lang nodded again and again, indicating that there is no problem.
When they left shoulder to shoulder, Mrs. Shi hurriedly went to find her son, "Xiao Lang, it's too dangerous to go far away..."
"Mother, I think the new medicine is really better. If Dr. Zhou sees me in person, will the prescription be more suitable?" He said, "And I don't want him to stay in Luojiang County anymore. "
"He stays here, maybe he will gamble again at some point, why don't you leave here and go to a place where there are no friends like him?" Shi Xiaolang flashed his hatred seriously, and said with fists clenched: "Didn't you say that people have been poking around outside all this time?" , Is there anyone else coming to see him for a drink?"
"He can resist gambling now, but what about tomorrow, the day after tomorrow?" Shi Xiaolang said: "After he gets to know him well here and has no distance from Mr. Zhou, I'm afraid he will ask him for money to gamble."
This kind of thing is not unheard of.
As soon as this was mentioned, Mrs. Shi no longer objected. She was really frightened by Uncle Shi's gambling addiction.
Uncle Shi took Zhou Zhoulang to know many shopkeepers and owners of the cloth shop, and bought a batch of goods. Really, the value is very high.
Just a few boxes of silk, satin and brocade are more expensive than his few carts of tea, but I feel so sorry for him.
The Shi family also packed up. Shi Xiaolang and his mother shared a car. The inside of the car was changed, only the front and left seats were left and right, and the back half of the car was changed into a soft couch with a quilt on it for people to lie on. Will go a lot less bumpy.
Shi Xiaolang lay down for a while, the driver was good at driving, so he didn't feel uncomfortable, he was swaying, and soon fell asleep.
They didn't go directly to Qingzhou City, but went to the capital first.
Zhou Zhoulang handed over the northbound caravan to the third son. After exhorting and exhorting, he only brought two veterans, and the rest were recruited from the village this time. Go to Qingzhou.
Zhou Lijun sent the man to the gate of the city, and told him: "Be sure to take a closer look at the pier. If it's good, I'll share some of the business later."
Zhou Zhoulang responded and also told her, "Let Mingxue take care of the third son, it's the first time for that kid to be alone."
Zhou Lijun also agreed.
Then Zhou Zhoulang took the caravan to Qingzhou.
When they arrived in Qingzhou, they found that there were quite a lot of caravans on the road, and they queued for a long time before entering the city.
Zhou Zhoulang didn't stay in Qingzhou City, and went directly to Beihai County after asking someone.
Then he discovered that there were only a lot of caravans going to Beihai County, and some of them were remitted from other official roads.
Zhou Silang sat on the donkey cart and looked left and right. Taking advantage of the width of the road and no one on the other side, he asked the driver to drive up the cart and talk to the person on the truck in front, "Brother, are you going to Beihai County?"
"Yeah," the other party realized that he didn't have a Qingzhou accent, and asked with a smile, "Brother, is this your first time here?"
Zhou Zhou Lang smiled and said, "Yes, I heard that there is a new wharf in Beihai County, come and see."
The man poked his head and glanced back. It was actually clear at a glance whose motorcade was there. The guards always had to guard the vehicles. He could tell at a glance that the five vehicles belonged to the young man in front of him. The scale was not large, but it was also Not too small, he was more polite, and said with a smile: "Yes, the new county magistrate built it, and now the new ship is about to go out to sea, and it will be free for a period of time to enter and leave the warehouse from there. Many people ran to try it out, What kind of cargo is Xiongtai taking?"
Zhou Zhou Lang smiled and said, "Some fabrics and porcelain."
Among the things that go in and out of the sea, these two things are the most common, so the other party is no longer interested, and said with a smile: "Good business, I wish you a big sale."
Zhou Zhoulang congratulated on going back, let the driver slow down the speed, and returned to the queue.
He leaned back, leaning on the goods behind him, dangling one leg and said, "They are all going to Beihai County, we just follow them, no need to run around asking for directions."
Don't think that you can walk unscrupulously by taking the official road, there are also forks in the road, and in some places there are no official roads, and there are more small roads. At this time, in order not to get lost, you need to constantly ask people for directions.
It is also necessary to find a few more people to ask, because some people do not know the way, just because they are warm-hearted, no matter whether they know each other or not, anyway, they are enthusiastic to point out.
Zhou Lang, who has been tricked countless times on the road, has now summed up a set of skills and experience in asking for directions.
The strong man walking beside the car happily asked, "Shiro, are you going to Beihai County?"
"Yes, Man Bao said that Beihai County is not far from Qingzhou City, and we should be able to enter the city before the city gate closes."
"Then we can meet Man Bao?"
