I don't know why, but after Xiao Han said this, he obviously felt Zhang Qiang's expression change.
"you do not know?"
Zhang Qiang looked at Xiao Han like an idiot, his voice rising a few degrees.
Xiao Han was a little confused by Zhang Qiang's changing appearance. He looked at him strangely and asked, "What should I know?"
"I go……"
Zhang Qiang rolled his eyes, slapped himself on the forehead, and then he lay down heavily in the carriage, shaking the poor two-wheeled carriage back and forth...
"Idiot! Don't you even know this? Or do you think the Zhang family is really that idle? Even if they have to worry about how many ships you find?! I'm just confused. Have you never thought about why?"
Seeing Zhang Qiang's frustrated look, Xiao Han said with increasing uncertainty: "What do you mean? The Zhang family didn't come to show their power just because I wanted to use this waterway and didn't go to the dock." exist?"
"You...fuck you!" Xiao Han didn't say this, but it was okay, but when he mentioned Zhang Qiang, he became even more angry!
He suddenly sat up from the carriage again, and Zhang Qiang shouted at Xiao Han with a look of hatred on his face: "He is a subordinated general, but his contribution in the Tang Dynasty is not as great as yours, and his title is not as high as yours! Only the family can be powerful Point, if you don’t have anything to offer, why should I ask you to go to the dock?"
"Then...why is that?" Xiao Han's voice weakened after Zhang Qiang yelled at him. At this time, he also realized that he seemed to have ignored this matter.
"Think for yourself!" Zhang Qiang gasped and didn't explain. He just stared at Xiao Han blankly, which made him feel a little nervous.
"Could it be because of the salt?" Xiao Han finally asked carefully, thinking of what Zhang Qiang had told him before.
"Nonsense!" Zhang Qiang let out a heavy breath, and the spit from his mouth almost sprayed onto Xiao Han's head!
"Since you came up with the method of making salt, the Zhang family's private salt business has been affected first! Do you know that it would destroy people's wealth, such as killing their parents? Fortunately, Zhang Liang is not stupid and knows not to touch you! This has been Suck it up!"
"Then what does this have to do with me getting a boat?"
Xiao Han was confused when he heard this, and he still didn't understand the relationship between the two.
However, Zhang Qiang seemed to have completely given up on Xiao Han's mind at this time. He sighed and said: "What does it matter? His family lives on the water! And you have already ruined their business! Now you want to get involved in water transportation." , can they not be nervous? It’s fine in Hanzhong, a remote place where no one can look down upon it! But Chang’an? Aren’t you anxious if I let you go?”
"I'm really not in a hurry..." As soon as Xiao Han said this, he suddenly saw Zhang Qiang's expression as if he had eaten a fly. Knowing that he was talking to death again, he quickly changed his words:
"Ahem, then I'm not trying to steal their food. I've made this clear to them! But if you say they live on the water, then I haven't seen much water transportation work? They rely on this for their livelihood. Can’t you starve to death?”
“You can’t starve to death, and you can’t get rich either!”
After Zhang Qiang, who was choked and uncomfortable, said this sentence, he immediately began to close his eyes and rest.
There is nothing I can do, talking to Xiao Han is too nerve-wracking!
He finally understood why Doctor Hua was so kind to others, but he only beat and scolded Xiao Han! It seems that this is the only way to avoid being pissed off by him...
"You can't make any money, and you don't look for a solution. Instead, you value this worthless business more than anything else! What a short-sighted person!" Seeing Zhang Qiang ignoring him, Xiao Han could only mutter, and started to lean against the carriage. Close your eyes and rest your mind.
Regarding the depression of water transportation, Xiao Han actually did some research, but from the information he got, he found that it was not that the ancients did not know the benefits of water transportation, but that in this era, there was really nothing worth the effort and effort to transport outside.
Two is no more than ten, five is no more than a hundred, ten is no more than a thousand!
What they say is that if you don’t have twice the profit, don’t go ten miles away! If you don’t have five times the profit, you won’t go out of Baili! As for the journey of thousands of miles, it must be worth ten times the profit!
And in today's relatively poor society, what can achieve such high profits?
Another point is that since ancient times, the Han nation has basically had a self-sufficient lifestyle.
Except for salt and iron, there really is nothing that depends on the outside world. Even if the trade routes are cut off, they can still live and reproduce in their own small world. In this way, commercial activities really do not seem to be that necessary.
"Hey, but what I want is a prosperous Tang Dynasty, not a lifeless Tang Dynasty..."
Regarding this current situation, Xiao Han could only feel helpless. If he wanted to change it, it would not happen overnight!
The carriage wandered leisurely until it was dark, and Xiao Han and his party returned home.
After getting off the carriage, Zhang Qiang saw his wife and eldest wife coming out of Xiao Han's house together without Zhang Qiang looking for it, and his eldest son was being played with by Xue Pan, who was following behind.
"Hey, Xiao Han! Look, this little guy has grown so big after not seeing him for a few months, and he can even spit bubbles!"
Seeing Xiao Han jumping down from the carriage with great effort, Xue Pan excitedly lifted Zhang Qiang's son in front of Xiao Han without waiting for him to stretch.
Zhang Qiang was frightened as he watched, fearing that she might not catch him and drop his poor baby to the ground.
Xiao Han, who had just stood firm, saw the child approaching him and took it over naturally without thinking! The technique is very skillful and not what it should look like when holding a baby for the first time.
"Eh? Have you seen children before?" Xue Pan discovered this very keenly and couldn't help being surprised! You know, she was completely at a loss when she first held the baby!
Facing such a small doll, I am afraid of being strangled if I use too much force, and I am afraid of losing it if I use too little force! In the end, I had Xiao Min teach me several times, and then I could barely hold it, but I was definitely not as skilled as Xiao Han.
"I've hugged him, how can I not hug him before?" Xiao Han held the big fat boy in his hand and threw it away, and immediately the child grinned happily and giggled, and Xiao Han also showed a wry smile at the corner of his mouth.
Perhaps no one knows that when he was in the orphanage, Xiao Han not only had to take care of himself, but also needed his help to take care of some of the new children! It can be said that in that environment, Xiao Han held more children than most people in the world.
"Uncle, you are tired from the journey. Come in and rest quickly."
Xue Pan looked at Xiao Han and was about to ask him where he had held a child and whose child he had held! As a result, Xiao Min came over first to pick up the child, and by the way pulled the somewhat reluctant Xue Pan into the yard.
"Let's go in! If you want a child, give birth to one yourself!" Zhang Qiang patted Xiao Han's shoulder, smiled, and followed several women into the yard, leaving Xiao Han scratching his head.
"It seems like this is his home..."
