The Three Kingdoms: I can't be a counselor, so I have to divide the world into four parts

Tang Jian sat on the box, with two followers standing behind him.

The fat young man came to Tang Jian with a man, looked Tang Jian and others up and down, and then asked:

"Where are the goods going?"

Tang Jian didn't understand these secret codes, so he asked the follower on the left to reply.

The follower's name was Zhang He. He had been on the river since he was a child, so he was very familiar with the secret codes and jargons of various places.

The follower on the right was named Zhou Ji. He knew where there were gangs that sailed, and he could quickly contact enough ships to transport the goods back to Dantu.

This Fu Tong really found two good helpers for himself.

Zhang He stepped forward and answered: "The goods will go to Jiangling."

The fat young man asked again: "How much will each go?"

Zhang He replied: "Six thousand kilograms of stone (pig iron), two thousand bundles of wool (leather), and two thousand bundles of firewood (hardwood)."

After listening, the fat young man looked at Tang Jian and others again.

"The water is rushing recently."

Zhang He listened, turned around and whispered to Tang Jian:

"Sir, he said that the situation is very tense recently, and he wants to increase the price."

Tang Jian nodded and said, "Ask him how much he wants to increase."

The fat young man held out three fingers.

Zhang He said to Tang Jian again, "He said he wants to increase by 30%."

After hearing this, Tang Jian also tried to bargain: "Be more favorable, I will increase by 50%!"

The fat young man pondered for a moment and said, "Show me the bottom."

Zhang He: "Sir, he wants to see if we have enough money."

Tang Jian stood up and opened the lid of the box.

After taking a glance, the fat young man said two words:

"Wait!"

Then he turned and left.

Tang Jian was confused.

"Huh? Leaving now?"

Zhang He explained: "The person who came just now is just a contact person. He has to go back and report to the master behind him."

"Then after the master decides, he will come to inform us when to deliver the goods and load the ship."

Tang Jian nodded and asked: "How long do we have to wait?"

Zhang He replied: "We want a lot of goods, it may take seven or eight days at least, or ten days or half a month at most."

After hearing this, Tang Jian took a bag of money and handed it to Zhang He, asking him to go to the city to buy some wine and meat, and bring it to the ship to share with all the brothers.

At the same time, he took some money to Zhou Ji and asked him to contact the ship in advance.

Once the goods are delivered, they can be loaded and shipped back to Dantu immediately.

After doing all this, Tang Jian asked someone to move the boxes back to the ship.

He found a higher place on the dock to look at the surrounding scenery.

Because he was sailing continuously these days, he was seriously seasick, so he wanted to stay on the shore for a while longer.

A fine barge floated from the river, approaching from far away.

Finally it stopped beside Tang Jian's sailboat.

Guards stood at the bow and stern of the boat.

A man who looked like a family general jumped off the boat without waiting for the barge to dock completely, walked straight to the dock where the tax collector was, and said a few words.

Then the tax collector inside hurriedly trotted out, giving various instructions, asking people to drive the carriage.

Then he called for help and moved two huge wooden boards to the boat.

Tang Jian was shocked: "Who is this important person? Even the living devil who collects taxes at the dock has to be so respectful."

A carriage arrived at the dock, and the tax collector smiled with wrinkles on his face, almost flattering:

"Sir, the carriage has arrived."

The family general nodded and waved him away.

Then he walked straight onto the boat and bowed to the cabin:

"Madam, the carriage is ready."

Then a woman in a white fur cape was seen bending down and leaving the cabin.

Her head was covered with a cloak, so her face could not be seen. She lifted the hem of her skirt with her bare hands and got off the boat lightly.

Then she immediately boarded the carriage, leaving no chance for anyone to see her face.

Two maids also boarded the carriage with things in their arms.

Then the carriage started moving.

The family generals led the way in front, and the guards followed behind. There were dozens of people in front and behind, and it was quite a scene.

Tang Jian, who was sitting in a high place, was also attracted by this scene and watched with interest.

He also guessed the identity of the woman.

The carriage was arranged temporarily, and the specifications were not large. The carriage seemed a bit stuffy.

The woman lifted the curtain of the window with her bare hands, wanting to take a breath, but her eyes happened to meet Tang Jian who was sitting in a high place!

Suddenly, she was shocked!

Although it was just a light glance, Tang Jian felt that the surrounding scenery was eclipsed!

There is such a beautiful woman in the world!

Tang Jian had seen it before, but most of the beauties he had seen in his previous life were made possible by technology and beauty, plus superb putty scraping techniques.

There is rarely such original beauty.

And this glance today made Tang Jian finally understand what is called a natural beauty!

Even if she is only three points like her, she is already a peerless beauty!

There is no appropriate word to describe her charm.

ThatThe beauty in the car quickly turned her eyes away and lowered the curtain.

Hidden her beautiful face behind the curtain.

The carriage slowly left and finally disappeared around the corner.

"Wow! There really is such a beautiful woman who can make fishes sink and geese fall."

"The ancients were not deceiving me."

"But I don't know whether this beauty is Da Qiao or Xiao Qiao..."

But it doesn't matter who it is.

As long as the business is successful, a man will have no worries about not having a wife.

When I become a local lord, I will marry ten or eight of her and enjoy the happiness of having a wife and the pleasure of bed every day.

Tang Jian quickly adjusted his state and put his mind right.

This look today really made him more determined to start a business.

It was like adding another dose of fuel to a speeding car.

Full of enterprising spirit.

…………

But Liu Bei was in a very unhappy mood these two days.

Cao's army pursued him like crazy, and Liu Bei had no choice but to abandon almost all vehicles, baggage, food and utensils.

Two horses died of exhaustion, and Liu Bei barely escaped the pursuit of Cao's army. After crossing Dangyang Bridge, he sat by the road to rest.

On the road, there were fleeing people everywhere.

Liu Bei was covered in dust and looked miserable.

Even his two wives had been separated long ago.

It was unknown whether the two wives Gan and Mi and the youngest son Adou fell into the hands of Cao.

Although he had fought many tragic battles and lost many battles in his life, this was the first time he lost so miserably.

Zhang Fei led thirty riders to cut off Dangyang Bridge.

The personal soldiers brought Liu Bei a bowl of water, and Liu Bei took it and drank it all.

In front of Changbanpo, Cao Cao's army arrived again.

The people hiding in the woods were like rabbits chased by hunting dogs, running around to avoid.

Next to the dry well, a beggar wearing straw sandals stamped his feet and cursed angrily:

"I just rested, why are you here again?"

"Isn't this going to end?"

"Will you let me be quiet?"

Just as he was about to escape, he turned around and saw the dry well, and immediately came up with a plan.

Then, he quickly climbed to the mouth of the well, lowered down along the rope, and soon reached the bottom of the well.

Not only can he avoid the pursuit of Cao's army here, but he can also sleep in and take a break.

"I am really a genius."

The beggar said, feeling sleepy.

He fell on the weeds at the bottom of the well and rubbed his dirty chest with his hands.

Then he continued to dream, dreaming of a beautiful woman falling from the sky...
