"Go back?" Cheng Guangsheng's mood was agitated, and his voice was uncontrollable, a little high-pitched. "Why do you want to go back? I want to stay here for a while to look for opportunities. But I will send a letter back to my family to prepare the goods, and then the caravan of the Cheng family will come."

"What? You are crazy! "Tan Shan roared out.

When someone around looked at them, Tan Shan quickly put Cheng Guangsheng aside and said in a low voice, "Brother Cheng, you must have fallen into evil, right? No one with a clear head would say such a thing."

Cheng Guangsheng shook his head, "I'm not sober, maybe the Ma family is right, this is just my guess, I have to check the situation again."

Seeing that Cheng Guangsheng insisted on staying, Tan Shan could only persuade: "Brother Cheng, You listened to my little brother's advice. Before I went to Liangcheng, I held a glimmer of hope. Now that you have seen the situation here, don't you have a clue? It is better to go back to take care of your own business as soon as you spend it here.

" Cheng Guangsheng didn't listen to him at all, "No, it's because I saw the situation here that I chose to stay and look for opportunities."

Tan Shan supported his forehead, Cheng Guangsheng was stubborn, and once something was confirmed, eight horses couldn't pull it back. Seeing that it was impossible for him to change his mind for a while, he could only say angrily: "It's okay, it's okay, whatever you do, I can't control it. When you hit the wall, you will eventually turn around."

Cheng Guangsheng knew Tan Shan was well-intentioned, so he also pointed out: "Brother Tan, you should stay for a while, and then decide to stay after you understand it clearly, otherwise you will regret it too late." How

could Tan Shan listen to him? Instead of listening to his own advice, he turned around and let himself stay, which is simply unreasonable. Anyway, I thought that I was a fellow countryman, otherwise I would spend more time persuading me.

Before I could say something, I saw a commotion coming from the front, and I looked at it with concentration, but I saw that King Duan's personal escort led a group of people over.

The leader is not too old, perhaps because of the wind and the sun, his skin is a little dark, but his eyes are bright. The most important thing is that the person who came here was wearing an official uniform, and it was obviously a person from the official government. Although the dozen or so people who followed were all dressed as civilians, it could be seen that their mental outlook was somewhat different from that of ordinary people. All of them had anxious expressions on their faces, and they kept looking around.

This is exactly Xu Wen and the various workshop owners who were hurriedly notified by Xu Wen.

Xu Wen dazzled his eyes and asked, "Who is the head of the Ma family?"

Ma Siyong took a step forward and saluted Xu Wen, "Little man Ma Siyong , I have seen adults."

Xu Wen waved his hand, Without being polite to him, he grabbed his arm and said, "I heard that you brought more than ten trucks of goods here, hurry up and take me to have a look."

Ma Siyong immediately returned to his senses, he thought he would wait for a while. , I didn't expect someone to come to ask about the goods so soon.

Ma Jinyu and others couldn't believe it, he was asking about the goods they brought in?

Ma Siyong also guessed the intention of the person who came, and quickly replied with a smile: "It's not far, it's over there, please come with me, sir." After he finished speaking, he led Xu Wenyi and the others towards the direction of the convoy.

The rest of the people were stunned for a moment, and after they woke up, they quickly followed behind to see what happened.

Who is this person? He came to ask what the more than ten carts of goods brought by the Ma family were for? Is it possible that this batch of goods from the Ma family can really be sold like this? how is this possible? I have never seen such a deal before.

Everyone was talking and couldn't guess what was going on. However, what is going on in the end can be known by looking at the situation in the past.

"This time, there are rice grains, mainly cloth, and some things like salt and tea, which are basically what people can use." Ma Siyong introduced on the side.

Although I don't know what official position this Lord Xu is, since he has come to ask about these goods, it is also related to his duties.

Someone has already started to check the goods on the car, and the entourage used a grain spy to insert some rice grain from the cloth bag. The workshop owners took it and looked at it carefully, and some even squeezed a few grains with their hands and put them in their mouths to chew. They look at the color of the grain, the fullness of the grain, and the taste to distinguish whether it is old rice, new rice, superior or inferior.

Many people nodded secretly, obviously this batch of food is still very satisfactory.

Xu Wen also looked at them one by one, nodded with a smile, "These are all good, the Ma family master has a heart."

Ma Siyong smiled and said, "It's also the prince's suggestion, otherwise the little one would not be able to go this way."

"Haha, since the lord reminded you, it's impossible to think wrong." Xu Wen clapped his hands, pointed to the person he brought over and said, "It's just that this amount of goods is a drop in the bucket, look, these people all need it. With a lot of supplies, the dozen or so vehicles of the Ma family are not enough for their family."

These workshop owners have hired a lot of Liangzhou people to work, and they have to distribute money and food on time every month. Because of the lack of materials in Liangzhou, there are almost no foreign merchants to sell goods, and even if the people have money, it is difficult to buy things that are good for each other.

Therefore, Duanwang specially made a regulation that the monthly settlement of the workshop owner's salary is a combination of money and materials. Before, they tried their best to gather supplies, but now Liangzhou has run out of supplies, and these things brought by the Ma family are what they urgently need.

What Xu Wen said was no exaggeration at all, these dozen vehicles were really not enough.

"Sir, what do you mean?" I don't know if it was what he thought, but Ma Siyong asked cautiously: "All the dozen or so cars of the villain..."

Xu Wen nodded without detouring, affirming : "As long as the price is right, I want all these dozen cars!"

Ma Siyong's eyes widened, and the others were even more stunned.

"Big... Sir, are you serious?" Ma Siyong was used to seeing big scenes, but he didn't expect that all the goods were sold out in one breath.

He listened to Duan Wang's words and brought a batch of goods over. One was to give Duan Wang a face, and the other was to try the water.

Their Ma family started out as a caravan. From a small caravan of a dozen people to a large caravan of hundreds of people, it took several generations of Ma family efforts to make it what it is today. Although it is incomparable with Duanwang's caravan, the Ma family caravan is very famous in Dayan Kingdom.

Even so, Ma Siyong never thought of selling all the goods in one go. When he came to Liangzhou this time, he was conservative and did exactly what King Duan said. After all, he didn't know the situation in Liangzhou, so it was already a risk. He thought that it would be good if the goods could be sold in several batches, but now Xu Wen's words have completely stunned him.

"Of course it's true." Xu Wen nodded affirmatively. He was in a good mood today, and said jokingly, "What? Patriarch Ma traveled all the way to deliver goods, isn't it to sell to make money?"

Ma Siyong was ashamed, "Of course not, The villain is just thinking about so many goods, and the family is afraid that it will be difficult to get them."

Xu Wen laughed: "The Ma family owner is underestimating people, not to mention that you are so little, you can easily take it ten times or a hundred times more. Come down."

Ma Siyong replied repeatedly, they are all buyers and sellers, and of course the price should be discussed carefully. But since this step has been talked about, there is nothing wrong. For the rest of the price, as long as both parties are sincere, there will be no hindrance to it.

As soon as the voice over here fell, the dozen or so workshop owners over there were already arguing.

"We have a lot of workers over there, so these supplies are simply not enough."

"Boss Yu, don't mix it up, we can eat all of it."

"Second Fan, go go, where is the round here? I got your word. Don't grab any of you, I want all of these things."

"Why should I give it to you? The surname is Li, you took a lot of advantage from the prince last time, no matter how you say it now. It's not your turn."

The quarrel of the crowd attracted the attention of this side, and Xu Wen was ashamed. He shouldn't have brought them here.

He drank and said, "What is it like to argue about this outside? If you have something to say, you can't go back and close the door and say it again?" A

dozen people looked at me, I looked at you, and stopped talking. Li Quan was not convinced, "Wait back, I'm afraid I won't see you at all."

Xu Wen frowned and made a final decision, "Okay, buy it all, and distribute it after returning."

Fan Lao Er hesitated to speak. , Seeing Xu Wen looking over, he said: "Master Xu, this amount of things is not enough for a family, and if you divide it, there is not a single point left. The people in our workshop are all counting on this distribution this month."

Xu Wen waved his hand to signal him to stop talking. He turned his head and said to Ma Siyong: "Master Ma, you have seen it too, let's settle the price as soon as possible. We still have a lot of such materials here. If we can, of course, the more the better. The official can put it down here, no matter how much you ship, we can take it all down."

Ma Siyong nodded, "Don't worry, the little ones will let them go back as soon as possible and bring more goods."

"That's good! Xu Wen smiled and said, "We also have a lot of specialties in Liangzhou, like watermelons, which are now reaching maturity. There are also various valuable novelties made by workshops, and your caravans can also transport them. Returning to the Central Plains to sell goods, in this way, the money earned by back-and-forth sales is a lot of money!"

Xu Wen's words hit the heart of Ma Siyong, who had heard of Liangzhou's new specialty watermelon when he was in the capital, and it was a big hit in the capital. Welcome, you can buy it and ship it back to the capital to sell, but it's a big deal. He originally came for it, but as for the novelty mentioned by Xu Wen, he did not expect too much. In a place like Liangcheng, can there be any novelty that can compare to those quirky things in the Central Plains?

Ma Jinyu was so shocked that he finally came back to his senses, laughing so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, haha! Who said that the goods brought by their Ma family would rot in their hands if they couldn't be sold? Not only did they sell their goods, they sold them all in one go.

The onlookers were stunned to see this series of changes, and their mood was extremely complicated. What's this called, why did it suddenly become like this, shouldn't the Ma family's goods not be sold? How come one person came, brought a group of people and said it was okay? It can also let the Ma family do watermelon trading. This transaction is not a loss at all, and it is still a steady profit.

Someone couldn't hold it any longer, and leaned over and asked, "Sir, I don't know how many watermelons there are. The villain is willing to buy them at a high price."

Xu Wen shook his head, "It depends on whether the Ma family is willing to give up their love, because this year's watermelon king Only a few villages are allowed to try planting, so the output is not too much. Since the Ma family has worked hard to transport the goods to Liangzhou, we cannot let the Ma family's hard work go to waste. Therefore, these things are given priority to the Ma family to buy first, if the Ma family buys the goods Not finished, the rest, maybe you can have a chance."

As soon as these words came out, everyone knew that there was no hope. The Ma family was wealthy, and the watermelon was a treasure that had never appeared before. Even the emperor said it was good to eat, but it was difficult for the dignitaries in Beijing to taste it. If the Ma family transported the watermelon back to the capital to sell, I am afraid that no matter how expensive it is, some people will rush to buy it. How could the Ma family let go of such an opportunity?

Everyone regretted it, beating their chests and regretting the beginning. If I had listened to King Duan, learned from the Ma family, and shipped some rice grains to sell, I would have received the same treatment as the Ma family. Why didn't you get the hang of it at the time? But what's the use of regretting it now? Just to see if I can find it elsewhere.

Someone asked reluctantly, "Isn't it okay to give more money?"

Xu Wen smiled and said, "Everyone should know more about Liangzhou, knowing that what Liangzhou lacks most is all kinds of materials, and it's really not something you can do with money. Yes. I can't help you this time, but if you want preferential treatment, you can come to Liangzhou to do business! We in Liangzhou welcome everyone to come."
