After the waiter left, Yu Die tidied up the room in the middle of the five rooms before saying, "Next time, let Anmo and the others find a better inn first."
Bai Guo nodded in agreement, "Go ahead."
The richer they appear, the more they will attract the attention of small businessmen, and they will come to her to cooperate or sell goods to her out of profit.
Yu Die responded and ran away.
After coming out, Bie Xia felt that Yu Die was different. She no longer spoke in a low voice, her posture was very casual and natural, and she behaved gracefully, as if she occupied the position of the master in the team.
But Bie Xia also knew that this was the only normal thing, otherwise the county boss would not let them wear the same clothes.
So Bie Xia worked very hard to adjust herself along the way, not to let her actions reveal their identities and miss the county leader's affairs.
But such efforts are still not as good as Yu Die's natural spontaneity.
After dinner, Gingguo took a shower and washed up, then rested.
An Mo and others were already up at dawn the next day, and about a quarter of an hour later, Bie Xia and Yu Die got up to wait for Ging Guo to get up.
"What are you going to do today?" Bie Xia put a hat on Ging Guo and did not dare to call the county chief directly.
"I'll call you Boss from now on." As soon as Bai Guo said this, Bie Xia knew what this trip meant.
"Go out today and see what businessmen like."
What a businessman likes may not necessarily mean he really likes it, but it must be profitable.
After leaving the door, An Mo and others surrounded the three of Bai Guo in the middle, so that they could separate the others when walking on the street.
It has to be said that the streets are particularly lively at this time. The villages below bring all kinds of vegetables from their own fields, catch fresh fish, etc. here for trading.
The surrounding shops are also open. People who have sold out their goods go to buy some items they need before returning to the village where they live.
In between, there are some small food stalls suitable for early morning use, including sesame cakes, wontons, noodles...
People who come and go buying and selling goods will occasionally sit at these stalls and order one or a bowl.
There was noisy noise and fireworks everywhere.
The most eye-catching thing is the four or five teams of more than a dozen or twenty people sitting at these stalls.
These people were all of the same strong physiques, and there were carriages parked or a lot of goods parked beside them.
These people are merchants and caravans.
Ging Guo's eyes would often fall on this kind of caravan.
Most of the caravans will travel to many places, taking common things from this state to another state to earn the price difference. They will also take things from Chengzhou Kingdom to other countries, conduct item trade, and then bring them back to Chengzhou Kingdom. In exchange for money.
They will also open shops in various places, so that their items can not only be bought and sold in the shops, but also they can inquire about local news through the shops, so that they can choose the most suitable products for transportation.
And these shops are not just shops, they are also the eyes and ears of these caravans.
With these eyes and ears, the caravan will not be blindfolded. They will pass on important information, sometimes faster than officials.
And if there is a war, they will know it early, or change the route of their caravan, or directly sell their suitable goods.
These are all business opportunities.
Being able to become a merchant is inseparable from the support of a large amount of money and the control of the current situation, and you must have a good understanding of the market. Only in this way can you find suitable items to make money even in wars.
This cannot be compared with the small businessmen who walk around the streets.
It’s not just one or a few stores that can be compared.
From the beginning, Ging Guo didn't want to make a small fuss, so his eyes naturally focused on the 'caravan'.
It's just that she hasn't stepped into this business district yet, so she is a little impatient to directly set up a caravan without suitable goods.
It was not until the evening that Bai Guo took people back to the inn. They were all wearing curtains and hats. They were already very eye-catching on the street. As soon as they entered this small space, they made these people look over.
It's just that the temperament of a group of them is too extraordinary, and others will just keep it in their hearts when they find it strange, but some people just can't keep their mouths shut.
"Pretend to be a ghost." A slightly disdainful voice sounded in the inn hall.
Bie Xia looked sideways, and saw a tall and thick man sitting where the tables and chairs were in the hall, with wine in his hand and dishes on the table.
Gingguo didn't stop and continued walking upstairs.
"A prostitute dares to come to Shijiu County, the capital of merchants. She is really ignorant. She wants to get involved in men's affairs instead of staying at home." Seeing that he was ignored, the man raised his voice again. , with contempt.
An Mo paused slightly, but seeing that his master didn't say anything or even stop, he ignored him and followed him upstairs.
Seeing the man saying this, the others were ignored, and some people couldn't help but get brave, "If there is no man in my house, why don't you come to my house?! I have plenty of room in my house."
"Too many words." Bai Guo's eyes swept downwards without stopping.
An Mo moved his hands slightly, and the two people behind him quickly stepped forward and pulled the two talkative men up and dragged them out.
The people in the hall were startled at first, and then quickly shouted, "Are they wrong?! Are you trying to hit someone?! Is there any way to do this!"
Bie Xia turned around sarcastically, "If a man talks too much and is annoying, it's better to keep his mouth shut."
The man choked and wanted to yell again, but was quickly restrained by the people around him.
"He's drunk, please forgive me." The people around him tightly covered the man's mouth to prevent him from speaking.
Bie Xia saw that Ging Guo and Yu Die were both going up, and then he walked up.
An Mo had already asked the two people around him to protect Bai Guo. Now that he saw that no one was here, he didn't say much, so he followed him up.
The man whose mouth was covered until this moment pushed his companion away and said dissatisfied: "What are you doing?!"
The companion snorted coldly, "The clothes the three of them are wearing are the same as the ones worn by the lady from the house we delivered the goods to! It's okay for you to get beaten up, but if you lose your buddy, I don't see how you can afford to support your family." The children inside!”
The man was startled, and then he felt cold sweat on his back.
"Why is a little girl who is going to be a businessman dressed so well?" The man glanced upstairs from the corner of his eyes and lowered his voice intentionally.
The companion didn't reply and looked outside the door frequently.
What will happen to the two people who are pulled out?
Curiosity got the answer after half an hour.
Two neatly dressed men walked upstairs in unison, paying no attention to the people below.
Some people who couldn't sit still secretly went out to take a look, and then came back with a gasp.
This appearance aroused the curiosity of others, and they stood up and walked out. They saw two people lying on the ground with their clothes intact. When they were wondering, they saw a man go up and kick them. I was trembling all over and couldn't shout a word.
Everyone's heart felt cold.
There is no evidence for this if reported to the police!
When Ging Guo came down the next day, the people in the inn had already given way to him, and Ging Guo walked by with a noble attitude.
It wasn't until their figures disappeared that someone quietly asked the shopkeeper, "Who are those people?"
The shopkeeper replied with a smile: "God of Wealth!"
After only two days here, he had earned less than half a month's money!
Everyone knew clearly that this must be the rich owner.
While I was secretly glad that I didn't talk too much yesterday, I couldn't help but wonder, why would I want to be a lowly businessman when I have money?
Could it be an official slave?
It's just that these questions will not be dared to be asked, and he will not get answers.
Gingguo stayed in Shijiu County for a total of five days. During these five days, he spent every day learning about various products.
On the evening of the fifth day, Yu Die served Gingguo after bathing and wiping his hair and said softly: "There are fifty merchant caravans of tea leaves, seventy grains, and other rare things. There are merchants one after another. And they There are connections between them all, if we rashly step in..."
Yu Die secretly looked at Ginkgo in the mirror.
Bai Guo sighed softly, "I thought too early. It's not that we have a hand in it now, but these people won't let us get involved."
Shijiu County is where businessmen started, but as time goes by, there are many more businessmen here than elsewhere.
The caravan members will leave here with the goods, but most of the merchants are only active around Shijiu County and even in Fengzhou, which causes the goods to pile up and the prices cannot be raised.
"The idea of following these people first won't work." Ging Guo rubbed his forehead.
She originally wanted to use some ordinary goods to integrate into the business circle and get to know some businessmen. She had a lot of money, so she had no choice but to cooperate with other businessmen.
Then slowly look for business opportunities, and after establishing your name, you don’t have to worry about no businessmen coming to cooperate.
Just looking at the current situation of Shijiu County, I'm afraid it won't be able to integrate.
"Then are we going to other counties for a walk?" Bie Xia made a bed for Ging Guo, and after hearing this, he understood Ging Guo's intention.
"We can no longer interfere with Shijiu County. If we stay, we will only compete with them for this small market. It is not worth it." After thinking about it, Bai Guo said, "We will leave for Shanma County tomorrow."
Shanma County has many plantings, but it is really not as lively as Shijiu County.
An Mo had already booked the best inn in advance, and when Bai Guo and others walked into this slightly deserted street, Bie Xia sighed, "No wonder those businessmen would rather hang out in Shijiu County."
At least you can see small money in Shijiu County, but in these places you can't even see people.
"Most of Shanma County is made up of villages with many fields. Only during the autumn harvest will businessmen come to harvest. However, the people here attach great importance to education. If they have money, they will save money and send their children to school. It is not If you know how to buy things from merchants, over time a shop with only firewood, rice, oil, salt, pens, ink, paper and inkstones will be left here."
Bai Guo had read books about this place on the carriage before, so it wasn't like he was blind.
In fact, after he came up with the idea of doing business, most of the books he read were about geology or local customs. Otherwise, he would not have known that Shijiu County was a treasure in the eyes of businessmen.
"Then why did the boss bring us here?" Bie Xia was a little surprised.
The food had been taken away, and the things in the shops were not as novel as those in Shijiu County. They were all ordinary things, and they had no goods to sell during this trip.
"There are many people here with fields. If they can be sold to merchants, it means the harvest is good. Such a good harvest may not necessarily sell out all the food. It is very likely that some will be left to prevent disaster years."
Tada's place relies on God for its food, so those who often eat this bowl of rice will naturally not break their own bowl.
Bie Xia also wanted to ask: If you want to keep it to prevent disaster years, why sell it?
Her family is a farmer, so she naturally knows how terrible disaster years can be.
