Economic and Trade Song Dynasty

The sound of the flute faded away in the hoarseness, and the moment it ended, the crows crowed and the wind howled, and after a moment, the world was silent.

Qin Juan stood in place, the dark green leaves of the weeping willow intertwined in front of his eyes, and the corners of his snow-white clothes blurred into a cloud of moonlight in his sight.

He is so calm, no longer anxious, no longer concerned.

Finally, he thought he had grown to the age enough to endure suffering, parting, longing, loneliness, and even death.

He also thought that after several years of tempering, he had learned Huhu's indifference, learned Zhao Huaizhi's calmness, and finally became the appearance of the person he likes...

But when the white clothes moved in front of his eyes, he realized that the person deep in the weeping willow had stood up.

At this time, his heart began to beat uncontrollably...

It turned out that he never learned how to be calm in front of Zhao Huaizhi.

When the man came from there, his steps were light, but the sound of his footsteps was like scattered notes beating on his heart.

When he saw that person standing in front of him, he was handsome and elegant, with picturesque features.

His heart was beating wildly, and in the throbbing, the words between his lips and teeth seemed to be ready to be pronounced.

Almost, he yelled: Fox Fox.

The moment he came back to his senses, he lowered his eyes in fear, and there was a blush on his hot cheeks, which appeared vividly in his eyes.

The lantern in Zhao Huaizhi's hand swayed in the wind.

He walked over, his calm eyes fell on Qin Juan's face, after a long time, he smiled with his lips curled up: "I've grown a lot taller."

When Zhao Huaizhi mentioned this, Qin Juan couldn't hide his embarrassment. He had worked so hard all these years chasing Huhu's height...

Whenever he thinks he has grown a lot taller and sees Huhu, he realizes that there is still a distance from Huhu.

He suddenly wondered if he had to be as tall as Ning Bai in order to rival Zhao Huaizhi.

Zhao Huaizhi walked in front of him, at such a close distance, those eyes that could make people intoxicated were staring at him.

Qin Juan wanted to retreat, but he grabbed his shoulder.

As a young man, step by step, he was lured into the net woven by Zhao Huaizhi by this man's deceptive face.

At this time, he still didn't understand why a cold-hearted person would fall in love with a child.

He really doesn't understand.

He thought that Zhao Huaizhi would be at least a little grateful to him, at least a little like him...

But at that moment, he was embraced by Zhao Huaizhi, when his lips were pressed down...

Qin Juan was completely confused.

A pure and noble son who came from the grasslands of Samarkand.

The white-clothed fox who is clean and spotless has become a bloodthirsty fairy.

His kiss was as cruel as the wind and sand in the Taklimakan Desert, cruel and emotionless.

Even Qin Juan's keen and delicate senses couldn't feel Zhao Huaizhi's emotion, a trace of human emotion.

In this way, Zhao Huaizhi ruthlessly took away the wolf cub's first kiss on a summer night that should have been extremely intoxicating.

At the moment when the wolf cub was at a loss, there was no pain or feeling, which was not important to a boy. He once mistakenly thought that he was hugging Zhao Huaizhi, and that moment was when he panicked.

And now?What's more, he suddenly felt an indescribable dull feeling in his heart.

Even for a moment, an astonishing idea popped up in his mind, this is not Zhao Huaizhi, this is not Huhu.

But this is clearly true again.

Qin Juan slowly stretched out his hand to grab Zhao Huaizhi

He was very strong, but he was just softly telling Zhao Huaizhi to let him go.

He doesn't like this kind of touch without any emotion, like a puppet, a walking corpse.

He didn't want to remind him to wake up by hurting Zhao Huaizhi, or in other words, if he wanted to push Zhao Huaizhi away, it would be easy with his current internal strength, he just simply didn't want to hurt Zhao Huaizhi.

Zhao Huaizhi didn't seem to notice it, and kept his eyes closed.

As if immersed in oneself, regardless of everything.

Until Qin Juan also closed his eyes, stroked the back of Zhao Huaizhi's head with one hand, and gently injected a wave of internal force.

At the moment Zhao Huaizhi felt something strange, he let him go slowly.

There was a trace of blush on the corner of the wolf's lips, as if he had a bruise, but his eyes were firm and determined, staring at Zhao Huaizhi

Zhao Huaizhi's eyes were not like this just now...

At this moment, Zhao Huaizhi's eyes were red, and what caught the eye was the color of his pupils, which were shiny silver.

In a trance, Qin Juan noticed something abnormal.

The mood has also changed from the anger just now to the doubt now.

Why did Zhao Huaizhi's eyes change in an instant?

He tried to calm himself down, and then asked Zhao Huaizhi why

Unexpectedly, Zhao Huaizhi's pupils turned black again at an astonishing speed, and the next moment he fell to the ground like a catkin.

At this moment, all the anger of the wolf cub dissipated the moment Zhao Huaizhi fell to the ground.

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Juan rushed to hug Zhao Huaizhi.

"Zhao Huaizhi, what's the matter with you..." He hugged him and asked through gritted teeth.

The person in his arms slowly opened his eyes in an instant: "Did it scare you...cough cough cough."

He coughed a few times and continued: "I'm sorry, I can't control myself not to come to you, maybe one day I will become what I hate..."

His tone was light, and he wanted to slowly push Qin Juan away.

Qin Juan was confused, and seeing Zhao Huaizhi was about to stay away from his embrace, he took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "Can you make it clear, I don't want to hear such nonsense."

Zhao Huaizhi trembled in his figure, and said calmly: "My Gu has not been removed."

Qin Juan looked at him in surprise.

"When I am completely manipulated by Gu, it will be my death."

"So just now? Just because of Gu?" Qin Juan's eyes were scarlet, he stood up and turned to walk towards the street, "Zhao Huaizhi, I don't want to see you for now."

This was probably the first time he said such serious words to Zhao Huaizhi, and the 14-year-old boy felt that his self-esteem had been seriously hurt.

Because of Gu's manipulation, Zhao Huaizhi took away the wolf cub's first kiss.

It was just a kiss. He had been licked by a horse when he was feeding the horse when he was a child. He thought he didn't care.

Unfortunately, he still cares.

Why he cared, he couldn't explain clearly, and he didn't want to think about it carefully.

He needs to be quiet.

Zhao Huaizhi understood that he had frightened Qin Juan, so he looked down at the lantern lying on the ground in a daze.

This year, Gu poison gradually raged, hot desire, burning poison, burning for a whole year.

He doesn't want anyone, he knows that the Gu poison has not been removed, if he breaks the precept, it will be his death.

The moment he was manipulated by the poison and couldn't control his rationality was the moment when Zhao Huai's reputation was ruined.

Just now, when he saw Qin Juan, the burning desire surged from the bottom of his heart at that moment.

Intertwined in his mind are the picturesque and charming pictures in the Spring Palace Atlas.

He lost his concentration and almost succumbed to the manipulation of Gu insects.

only……

His hand slowly stroked his lips.

That feeling is...

So beautiful.

It was so beautiful that all the lost emotions turned into phantoms.It shouldn't be like this...

He shouldn't be swayed by such emotions.

He stood up in a panic, picked up the lantern, and left in a panic.

The next day, Qin Juan ordered their people to leave after noon.

Before leaving, he took a walk around the street to buy some things, strolled around with a lot of thoughts, and then raised his eyes to find himself standing at the place where Zhao Huaizhi appeared last night.

Weeping willows sway in the wind.

But no white clothes.

Qin Juan took a deep breath, frowned and walked back.

Seeing that he was back, Song Man ran over quickly: "Brother, I'm ready and the water bladders are full, we can start our journey now."

Qin Juan touched his hair: "Well, let them all get on their horses and set off."

After walking through a place with plenty of water and grass, there is a large area of ​​desert, but this sand sea is better than their Luobu City.

The business trips are uninterrupted and large-scale.

Business travel is the witness of the trade between big countries in this era.

Qin Juan would occasionally think of that period of history when the country was tragically destroyed because of business travel.

This period of history may sound new to the people of the Central Plains, but the destruction of the country because of business travel may be strange to the ears of the Central Plains people.

This happened during Genghis Khan's Western Expedition.

Because a Mongolian caravan of more than 200 people sent by Genghis Khan was beheaded by the people of Huacizimo and the goods were seized, Genghis Khan sent envoys to negotiate, and the envoys were also beheaded.

After that, Genghis Khan put down the heavy task of destroying Xixia and Jin first, and also destroyed Huacizimo Kingdom first.

Starting from Huacizimo, and moving the whole body with one hair, Genghis Khan began his Western Expedition. Among the first group of entourages was Huhu's master, Prime Minister Yelu.

It seems that the Vietnam War became more and more intense. His army has been heading west, looting, burning and killing, no different from horse thieves, but more ruthless than horse thieves.

What I have to say is that what Genghis Khan wanted to do most in his life was to destroy Xixia and Jin. The Western Expedition was just accidental, and he tasted a huge sweetness after the accident.

He didn't expect the people in the west to be so unbeaten.This was beyond his expectation.

What impressed me the most about this story was when I stood outside the tent and listened to Vice General Zuo An's story that year.

A memory for many years.

"Stop, cook on the spot."

Seeing that the sky is getting dark, but the desert is boundless, there should be no place to stay nearby, so it is better to eat and rest earlier.

Song Man was so sleepy that he wanted to take a nap while holding the rein, but he kept his eyelids open from time to time.

Hearing Qin Juan yelling to stop, he immediately stopped and jumped off the horse.

"Haha, Master Songman is more active than anyone else when he hears about eating." Someone teased him.

Songman frowned and said with his thick eyebrows on his hips, "Aren't you the same? You still laugh at me, hmph."

"Master Songman, you are so cute, and you look so cute when you are angry."

"..." Songman completely lost his temper.

When the soldiers put a large plate of roasted mutton in front of Songman.

Songman's face was full of anger, he wanted to raise his head and growl, knowing that he couldn't eat it, so he insisted on putting it in front of him!

"Master Songman, don't you want to eat? Then I will take it away." The soldier smiled with white teeth.

"..." Songman clenched his fists tightly, his brother said that he should not lose his temper, even if he encountered something he didn't like, he had to hold back.

But he still wants to eat a bite of mutton...

After a roar in his heart, he tearfully picked up the pancake smeared with meat foam, and pitifully gnawed on it.

While watching Songman eating pancakes, Qin Juan suddenly missed Danmu terribly.

He learned the butter tea made by Wusizang, and wondered if Danmu would like to try it.

He also recognized a lot of spices, and the rabbits baked in the future must be delicious.

Songman ate the pancakes one bite at a time, and a soldier handed him goat milk, but he didn't take it, but grabbed the water bag and drank a few sips.

After eating, he consciously walked around the sand dunes twice, and when he came back, Qin Juan had finished eating.

Then he took the Song Man to ride horses together.

Some soldiers were lying on the sand dunes watching them whispering.

One laughed and said, "Like a brother."

"Haha, my brothers are not as good as them."

"I think Master Qin is raising Master Songman as his son."

"Hahaha...Interesting."

Everyone laughed for a while, and then saw that it was getting late, so they set up camp and went to rest.

Taking advantage of no one looking at them, Qin Juan went through what Ning Bai taught and played the moves of Xingxiu Road, and he felt a little more comfortable in his body, and his internal strength became stronger.

He likes this set of tricks very much.

"Wow, my brother is so handsome, I want to learn!" Songman's eyes sparkled, and he suddenly didn't feel boring.

It was very rare for Qin Juan to see that he was so interested, so he also carefully decomposed and simplified the first Xingxiu's move and called Songman to see it.

Songman also learned quickly and completed it successfully.Qin Juan hugged his chest and nodded.

Songman hit it several times, and it became smoother and smoother.

The Qin family said with a smile: "This is the first night, and there are 27 more nights to follow. Are you really willing to learn?"

"Yes, I've never thought martial arts is so fun, I just felt tired before, but I can still be so handsome!" Song Man became more and more energetic.

"Since you say that, I will definitely teach you, but you have to suffer."

"Yeah, brother, Huqiuer will work hard."

"Okay, it's done. I have to study hard in the future. It's too late today. We'll go to rest after you practice for a while." He said lying on the sand.

Songman was practicing at the side, he looked up at Xingzi.

It's just that at this moment, that beautiful face suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, followed by that violent kiss.

He closed his eyes, trying to drive away these images.

It seems to be a bit difficult.

He pursed his lips, slowly opened his eyes, and continued to look at the stars in the sky.

Finally, Songman was tired from practicing and lay down beside him.

"Brother, I feel my stomach is hot." Song Man said.

Qin Juan was stunned, and said with a smile: "Because this is called Xingxiu Road, also known as Xingxiu Sword Technique, it injects the power of Xingzi into your body to make you stronger."

"Really? The power of the stars?" Songman sat up and looked at him in surprise.

Qin Juan smiled and blinked.

Songman was cold for a while, and rushed into Qin Juan's arms: "Brother, you are so kind! Will Songman be able to fight the enemy like his brother in the future?"

"No, Songman only needs to be a strong, handsome young master." He said with almost certainty.

Songman got up from his chest, curled his lips and said, "Ignore brother."

"..." Qin Juan thought, was he wrong?Or is it up to Songman to decide whether he can go to the battlefield or not?

He simply thought that Songman didn't need to grow up in the flames of war.

Songman patted the sand off his body and walked towards the tent.

Qin Juan stopped for a moment, and chased after him.

They stayed here overnight and continued their journey the next day after breakfast.

Through this desert, goodbye to the river and the grassland.

At this time, they were more than twenty miles away from Liangzhou.

A caravan from Liangzhou came behind them and caught up with them because they traveled fast.

When passing by them, it is customary to chat a few words.

Qin Juan couldn't help asking, "Where are you going?"

"Black Forest Palace." The man replied.

He asked Qin Juan again: "You don't seem to come from Liangzhou, we haven't met you all the way."

"The detour from Suzhou just passes through Liangzhou." He replied.

"Well, it's a good thing you didn't go to Liangzhou, something serious has happened in the past few days," the man said.

Qin Juan raised his eyebrows: "What happened?"

"You don't even know! It's spread all over the world. A Liangzhou official arrested the boss of a caravan and detained a large number of goods. It was originally agreed to be redeemed with 1000 taels of silver, but it was added temporarily. 3000 taels of silver, so much money we ordinary businessmen can’t earn in a few lifetimes. Maybe the boss is really rich, so he agreed, and now it’s all right, but the official backed out and said that he wanted 5000 taels of silver. Who can bear this, the official let it go again, if you don’t spend 5000 taels, you will kill him..."

Hearing this, Qin Juan has confirmed that this boss is the boss of the Shazhou Buddhist and Taoist Chamber of Commerce: "How is that man?"

"I was robbed during the execution at Caishikou. Although it is strange, it is also expected. After all, the chamber of commerce that can bite the bullet and take out 3000 taels of silver will not be supported by a few experts, so this Later, Liangzhou will strictly investigate the caravan, but luckily you didn't enter Liangzhou, let's not talk about the little brother, let's say goodbye, and we will meet later." The man clasped his fists.

Qin Juan also hugged him.

He is not sure what will happen to the Buddhist and Taoist Chamber of Commerce in the future, maybe it will change its name.

It's just that they are stained with the government, and it will be difficult for them to be active in the Hexi Corridor to the Pamirs in the future.

However, this matter is very delicate, Liangzhou officials should not arrest people from the Buddhist and Taoist Chamber of Commerce just because of the goods.

It's just that the issue of ransom has been repeated repeatedly, which is indeed out of the official style.

In any case, Qin Juan still wanted to contact the Buddhist and Taoist Chamber of Commerce. After all, this was a big sponsor, and this was the only largest caravan he had encountered over the years.

Twenty days later, they had successfully entered the border of Daordu.

On the lower reaches of the Onan River, bordering the Black Forest Palace, there is a place called Qunan.

At first hearing, these two words have more meaning of Wu Si Zang.

This is the relative branch of the Heyan family, the hometown of the Duoyan family.

The number one beauty in Onanhe, Wu Dusi, is originally surnamed Duoyan, and her father is the current Patriarch of the Duoyan family.

After arriving in the territory of Qunan, Qin Juan did not go directly to the head of the Duoyan family, but followed the normal process of running a business and sold the goods first.

Then, he approached Qu Nan bit by bit.

A few days passed, and people in other caravans who were familiar with them also found that their carload of goods had not decreased much.

"Brother, why is your product so hard to sell? I've seen it for a few days and there are still so many."

The caravan passing by didn't know whether they were joking with him or what, Qin Juan replied seriously: "Yes, it's hard to sell, I want to try my luck in Quxian City, and see if I can deal with it, otherwise I will lose a lot when I come out this time. .”

Qin Juan's soldiers were all ashamed, looking pitifully at the person who was talking to them.

The man paused, and suddenly said: "Seeing that you still have a big family to support, it's really pitiful, how about this, you go to the city with me, and I will take you to the Qunan market, and I will help you get this batch of goods." Sell ​​it, but the people in the market will take a commission, and you have to give them [-] percent."

The soldier standing next to him wanted to hold Qin Juan back from his promise, perhaps it was some kind of cage.

Qin Juan was silent for a while and said: "Okay, brother, I will go to the city with you."

He said and ordered his men to follow the caravan into the city.

Zhengchou would be discovered by Duoyan's people when he entered the city, and the documents that he gave him every day were too obvious to tell Duoyan that they were from King Dayong.

It doesn't matter if it's a cage or not, let's go into the city first.

After entering the city, the caravan took them straight to the market.

After explaining to the big owner of the mall, they entered the mall.

On the first day, Qin Juan and his entourage watched other people's caravans sell their goods...

They were all dumbfounded, they don't understand that a broken jar is so easy to sell?If I had known earlier, they would have dragged some clay pots to sell.

"My lord, we can't do this, is something wrong?" a soldier asked him in a low voice.

Qin Juan squatted on the ground and pondered for a long time: "I don't see how good the things they sell are, so it shouldn't be all about the things..."

Soldier: "What's going on?"

"Look, why are there so many people on the opposite side?" Qin Juan said.

The soldier scratched his head: "If I knew, I wouldn't have asked you."

Songman interjected: "Because there are three beauties dancing, if I'm curious, I'll go over there."

Qin Juan smiled and said, "Smart."

The soldier's eyes lit up: "Then let's dance too." Songman held his chin: "Then no one dares to come over."

"Then what should I do, Young Master Songman, tell me."

"I do not know."

On the first day, they only sold a few scarves. On the second day, the owner of the market did not want them to enter, and there was no money to be made in occupying the land.

Qin Juan frowned, as if his temper had been aroused, and he said to the owner, "I'll give you [-]% of all the items sold today."

"You said you can sell out, I believe you can sell out? I gave you a chance yesterday, so don't come to occupy the latrine today! How many people are waiting outside? The small market is suitable for you, I I don't want to say more, you guys go quickly." The boss waved his hand.

Qin Juan immediately took off the knife from his waist and pressed it on the table: "If I don't mean anything, I'll let you handle it!"

Seeing his aura, everyone immediately booed: "You might as well let him try, if it doesn't work, you can kill this kid, anyway, you are so capable, hahahaha."

The big master stopped for a while, reached out to take Qin Juan's scimitar, and said suddenly: "Okay, but you will remember it for me, and I am willing to admit defeat."

Qin Juan pursed his lips and smiled lightly: "I would like to admit defeat."

With his smile, the big boss was stunned, not to mention, this kid is outrageously crazy, but he looks really good.

Coming out of Dadong's house, Song Man was so nervous: "Brother, are you sure?"

"Fifty percent." Qin Juan smiled.

Song Man raised a slap, not knowing how much [-]% is

"I really have a headache from your arithmetic, which is the same as your weight." Qin Juan raised his forehead.

Songman's arithmetic can be said to be... rotten.

He is six years old and still doesn't know how to add and subtract. He is about to collapse in teaching. Huhu's adopted son shouldn't be so stupid.
