Zongwu: At the beginning, it is tied with An Shigeng as a dude

"Normally, this Miss Wang is more or less influenced by her mother, a little paranoid and cold.

And I don't agree with you getting too close to her, anyway, we have sent her, so we can just treat her as an ordinary friend or passer-by from now on. "

"Ok!"

Huang Rong had already noticed Zhang Xiaoshan's indifference towards Wang Yuyan.

Otherwise, she would not be jealous of Mrs. Wang, not Wang Yuyan.

After all, Zhang Xiaoshan doesn't have a cold at all for this girl who looks cold and beautiful, like a fairy, and doesn't pose a threat to her.

On the contrary, Mrs. Wang, who has always been a bit of a grudge against Zhang Xiaoshan, is different.

She is a little older, but at most 33, and has internal strength and well-maintained.

The Dali Duan Clan is also very satisfied with this contract, especially the Zhang family's promise that if there is no war, the annual [-]% benefit will exceed one million gold.

Similarly, Zhang Xiaoshan also asked them to promise that in the future, [-]% of the mine veins of the Duan family in Dali will be managed by the Zhang family.

Chapter 260 The Legendary Emerald River Meets the Caravan

"Uncle, our Duan family in Dali contributes a lot, and most of the mine veins belong to our family. Isn't [-]% too little?"

In the past few days, Duan Yu has been participating in it, and the negotiations are intense and extremely exciting.

But for the result, they are very dissatisfied. The main reason is that the Dali Duan family's share is too small, only [-]%.

"Yu'er is starting to care about these things, it's a good thing!"

"Ha ha·"

Duan Zhengming, Duan Zhengchun, Gao Shengtai and others all smiled sassyly.

"uncle!"

"Okay, Yu'er, look at the following promise:

Dali Duan's annual share is not less than one million gold.

It seems that the Dali Duan family has made contributions and has less share, but where are the real benefits?

You must know that Dali relied on these things before, and its annual revenue was only about 30 gold, but Zhang's 100% share promised [-] million gold, which was at least double the total revenue of Dali before.

What's more, these are just the most basic share. If the Zhang family earns more, our Dali Duan family will also share more. "

"How could this be? Can't we do it ourselves?"

I heard that the Duan family had only 30 gold in profit when they ran it on their own, but the Zhang family got [-]% of the million gold, so it was directly multiplied by ten times?

Such a huge difference made Duan Yu a little dazed.

"How can it be so simple, the Zhang family has channels, strength, and knows how to manage it?

But our Duan family can only sell ore, most of which are taken away by those Central Plains merchants. Even if our Dali Duan family goes into the gem business, we will inevitably be squeezed out by those merchants, and it is impossible to make money.

This is also the reason why the Duan family wants to cooperate with the Zhang family.

The Zhang family has strength and excellent reputation, so there is no need to worry about other variables. "

Duan Yu was unwilling, but unfortunately, they were not the only Duan family from Dali who got stuck in the neck.

Passengers outside the customs, grassland cashmere, Nanyang mahogany, snowy fox fur, rouge from the Western Regions Da Yuezhi...

These things are directly ex-factory prices outside the customs, but in the Central Plains they are luxury goods with sky-high prices.

As for Wang Yuyan, do you want the Wang family to take over?

But not to mention that the strength of the Wang family is too strong, the Wang family is still working under the Zhang family.

Unsteadily, Zhang Xiaoshan was not in a hurry along the way.

Apart from admiring the scenery along the way, Zhang Xiaoshan also has another purpose this time - surveying the terrain!

The Dali Duan family promised to give them three mines of the Zhang family, and it was the mine vein on the border between Dali and the Escort Kingdom, and it was also the most controversial mine vein.

One is that the great ideal needs to be blamed, and the other is that the surrounding mountains and forests are hundreds of miles away, and transportation is difficult.

But the Zhang family is different. Not only are the three ore veins not far apart, but they are also adjacent to the river and waterway, which is convenient for transportation.

After all, they knew all about the Zhang family's merchant ships in Nanyang.

Most importantly, according to Dali Duan's description, the river where these three ore veins are located is the most fertile Emerald River in later generations!

Why doesn't Zhang Xiaoshan want such a vein?

You must know that jadeite is also divided into grades, and the real top jadeites come from this area.

But obviously, Dali Duan did not realize this at all.

Because of the long distance to the border, many disputes, and extremely difficult mining, it was left to the Zhang family.

"Drive! Drive..."

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes, and Zhang Xiaoshan looked sideways, and saw a caravan of at least several hundred people driving the horses forward slowly, and each batch of horses was fully loaded with goods.

"Give Way!"

This is not a great road, not to mention the materials used in his carriage are extremely precious, Zhang Xiaoshan doesn't want his BMW to rub against his bicycle.

"Thank you sir!"

The leading burly man bowed his hands to Zhang Xiaoshan to express his gratitude.

"Just a little thing."

But Huang Rong and Hong Xiao had already lifted the curtains, and looked at these caravans curiously, with curiosity in their eyes:

There are so many horses or mules carrying the goods, and all the guards are sturdy, they look more like a group of ruthless people than businessmen.

"How do they use horses to transport goods instead of wagons?"

"Because they are caravans!"

caravan?

Huang Rong looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in puzzlement, the caravan at this time was not as famous as later generations.

"Before Jiumozhi came to Dali from Tubo, he followed the tea horse trade road of these people.

They compacted and packed Dali's special Pu'er tea, or some salt, and daily ironware...that is, their immediate goods, and transported them to Tibet in the upper reaches of the Canglan River through Dali, Lijiang, and Dihua, in exchange for their horses ,medicine

Wood, fur and other commodities.

During the period, they have to pass through the dark rainforest, the treacherous plank road, the roaring Canglan River, and the Yunling ravine that is thousands of feet high...

It's a pity that we don't have time this time, and it's not suitable for a carriage to pass. "

Huang Rong was already longing for it at this time, but she never expected that this group of rough-looking guys would have such a 'romantic' experience.

"Let's go and see next time!"

"Okay, next time we'll just ride a few dragon elephant foals."

Huang Rong nodded in satisfaction. She knew that this mission would not be diverted because of her willfulness.

As for when next time?Anyway, they have plenty of time.

"Haha, this young master is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable.

Qiu Long, the helmsman of the horse gang, dare to ask, is the young master a distinguished guest from the Central Plains? "

The head of the caravan is a fat man who looks a bit kind, but his strength is not weak.

Similarly, Qiu Long looked at Zhang Xiaoshan's carriage, it was only about the level of luxury on the outside, even the royal family of Dali did not have such treatment.

Moreover, the four women around him were all stunningly beautiful, and with the dresses of girls from Jiangnan in the Central Plains, Qiu Long understood that the visitors were not only distinguished guests from the Central Plains, but also wealthy families.

"That's right, Ziyu of Zhang's family in the south of the Yangtze River, I met Master Qiu!"

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhang. He had heard that Mr. Zhang had come to Dali a long time ago. I didn't expect to meet him here today."

Although the caravan is a businessman in Dali, it can also be regarded as a member of the martial arts.

After all, how can there be no self-defense skills on the dangerous ancient road across thousands of mountains and rivers?

And they still knew about Zhang Xiaoshan's visit to Dali, but they didn't expect to meet here, and it seemed that they would continue to travel south.

"Young Master, are you going to Pu'er City?"

"Where did you pass by!"

"Even so, this is Qiu's token. If you take this to the headquarters of the caravan, the caravan will flourish!"

"Thank you!"

For a jade pendant that looked like a thousand-year-old jade, Zhang Xiaoshan was not polite either.

If there is less trouble, it will be less trouble. After all, the caravan is a local snake, and he also wants to buy some good tea. The local snake is undoubtedly more familiar with it.

"Farewell!"

"Farewell!"

After a few words in a hurry, he turned around and left, Zhang Xiaoshan also had a good impression of the fat man,

"Let's go!"

After the caravan passed by, Zhang Xiaoshan drove the carriage forward slowly.

In the caravan, there was a lot of discussion at this time.

You must know that the token of the caravan before was not simple, and it was sent out unexpectedly, just a few words.

"Master Qiu, this person looks like a young master from the Central Plains. He might leave after a while. Is it worth such a win?"

"..." win over?I'm trying to please.

If he can come to my caravan for a talk, this may be a rare opportunity. "

Qiu Long looked at a group of men, and then explained:

"We are taking the tea-horse business road, and their Zhang family is in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are taking the golden sea road.

Just one shipment of their goods is worth the sum of all our goods at one time.If we can establish a relationship with the Zhang family, then we can transport the tea from Pu'er City to the south of the Yangtze River by sea.

And we don't only have tea here, but also mahogany, medicinal materials, and gemstones are very popular in Jiangnan. "

"In that case, shouldn't we suffer a lot?"

"There is a saying in the Central Plains that small profits but quick turnover.

Even if the sale to the Zhang family is only one-tenth of the previous profit, but we sell hundreds of times the goods, which is ten times the previous profit, at most we will be busy.

What's more, this ancient road has taken the lives of many of our brothers. It doesn't matter if the benefits are less, but it is safe and stable! "

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood Qiu Long's good intentions.

Every time they walk this ancient path, more than 95 out of [-] brothers can come back, which is God's blessing.

Most of the time, there are about 90 people. If there is any natural or man-made disaster, half of them will be lucky to come back.

In contrast, there is no doubt that sea transportation is safer.

As for transporting them over, Qiu Long knew the Zhang family's ability, as long as the Zhang family felt that the interests were suitable, they could directly send people from the territory of the dart (Lea Wang's) country to take over, and it would not be difficult at all.

So this time for Qiu Long, he thought it was an opportunity.

"Master Qiu, can you be the master?"

"You are so ignorant and ignorant, this Mr. Zhang is not simple, and his status in the Zhang family is no less than that of the head of the family.

As long as he makes a decision, basically there will be no problems.

And you know that he came to Dali this time, what is the so-called matter? "

It's no secret that Zhang Xiaoshan came to Dali, but it's just a high-ranking officer, and those underlings don't care about these things.

What's more, Dali has a large area and few people, so the news spread more slowly.

"whats the matter?"
