Lin Wanjie negotiated a business deal with Xiajia Winery in Hangzhou.
The Xia family supplies Lin Wanjie at cost price. No matter how Yangzhou's merchants unite or behave, it will not affect Lin Wanjie's business.
As long as it continues like this, buying wine alone will sooner or later return to the heights of the Xiao family.
He can even surpass the Xiao family and become the richest man in Jiangnan.
However, Xia Yan revealed the difficulties he encountered.
If alcohol facilitated trade between the two places, people would have already done so.
The reason why there are liquor stores all over the country is because there is an extremely fear of being robbed when transporting liquor across borders.
A wine barrel will be useless if someone stabs it with a knife. It will be even worse if it encounters a cruel person using fire.
It is considered safe to trade in the three places of Yangzhou, but there are still many bandits blocking the way.
Passing once or twice is considered a fluke, and it cannot be safe every time.
So how to ensure safety on the road is a problem.
Xia Yan said that the road from Yangzhou to Hangzhou passed by Daqingshan. There used to be a group of bandits in Daqingshan, and they could get out of the way as long as they paid money.
Now that the bandits in Daqingshan are gone, three groups of forces have appeared out of nowhere in Xiaoqingshan.
The scale is not large, but they commit crimes on the fly, making it difficult to detect.
Many merchants had to take a detour. It was okay for some light baggage to take a detour, but how could this drink take a long detour?
Lin Wanjie also frowned after hearing this.
He knew that the bandits in Daqing Mountain were the White Lotus Sect. In the past, the White Lotus Sect was managed by a group of people and had more or less rules.
Now that the White Lotus Sect has been dispersed, small forces in other places have begun to emerge.
These people rob whatever they see, and all they do is one-shot deals, so it is difficult to completely cut them off.
Lin Wanjie also had some difficulties. What he cared about was not the three forces mentioned by Xia Yan.
This is only a short journey from Yangzhou to Hangzhou, and no matter how powerful the gangster is, it can be said.
But if he wants to fulfill his promise to Yu Jiaoer and live in a mansion even more luxurious than the Xiao family, his business will definitely grow bigger and bigger in the future.
It is not enough to only operate in the Jiangnan area. In the future, trade routes will lead to all parts of Daxia, and even outside Daxia. How to ensure the safety of future trade routes?
Looking back, in the time-travel novels I read in my previous life, the time-traveling predecessors focused on various inventions, but never thought about the construction of trade routes.
Transportation was a big problem in ancient times, and all kinds of things happened on the road.
I heard that some merchants went from one place to another, exploiting people at all levels, and even before they reached their destination, they were plundered until not a single copper was left.
Also, the trade routes are difficult to follow.
Bank notes have not yet been introduced in Daxia. In order to redeem the eldest lady, he took 50,000 taels of silver from Hangzhou to Yangzhou and exhausted Lin Wanjie almost to death.
You can imagine how difficult it is.
After Xia Yan's reminder, Lin Wanjie felt that it was time to consider how to build a stable trade route in advance.
It is definitely impossible for Lin Wanjie to build cars and airplanes. To build trade routes, he must start with people.
The logistics system in his previous life inspired Lin Wanjie.
Anyway, there are more or less people who are blocking the way on all roads. If we can unite all the people who are trying to get rid of the way, and let them turn from being a robbery into an escort, there may be a new world.
Lin Wanjie told Xia Yan to continue delivering goods when he should. As for the bandits who robbed him halfway, he would find a way to deal with them.
There are more things going on.
Lin returned home late in the evening.
Xu Xiaoqi took Wang Wu and Xiao Bi to a small courtyard near the liquor store to sleep.
Although the small courtyard is compact, it doesn't seem crowded at all.
The princess came, but Lin Wanjie hadn't said a word to her yet.
In Lin Wanjie's senses, the princess is still a guest, and hospitality is indispensable. Naturally, he should talk to the princess first.
The princess lived in the house where the eldest lady lived before. She had already made the bed, tidied the room, and sat peacefully by the window, watching the stars quietly.
Night was approaching, and the princess looked somewhat sad.
Lin Wanjie didn't know what she was thinking, and didn't have much time to understand. When he got to the window, he called out through the wall: "Princess."
The princess came back to her senses and when she saw Lin Wanjie, she quickly stood up, looking very frightened, and shouted: "Master."
"hiss……"
Lin Wanjie took a breath and got goosebumps all over his back.
I don't know if the princess is joking like Xiao Yuchan or if she is serious.
"Princess, please stop shouting randomly and just call me Lin Da."
"Don't you always call me Princess? Don't you allow others to call you Master?"
"this……"
"Okay, shall I call you Nangong from now on?"
"My nickname is Yinger."
"This..." Lin Wanjie scratched his head, unable to speak.
"Then I will call you Master from now on."
Lin Wanjie had a huge headache and almost forgot that she was a demon concubine. She was really unpredictable.
After some comparison, Lin Wanjie chose the one that was slightly acceptable, and she bit the bullet and called out: "Ying'er."
"Hey!" Nangong Ying agreed according to Lin Wanjie's words.
Quite a little proud.
"Aren't you coming in?" Nangong Ying asked, "Aren't you tired of talking through the window?"
Lin Wanjie thought about it and figured that this "Ying'er" was going to stay for a long time. If he was too lively, it would become more and more embarrassing, so he went into the house.
"How did Mrs. Lin tempt you?"
After entering the house, Nangong Ying asked directly.
"..."
How does one answer this?
Lin Wanjie couldn't explain it clearly, and it felt weird to tell Nangong Ying.
"I don't know about this either."
"Mrs. Lin is so skillful. I can't believe that even a stone-hearted person like you can be tempted."
Lin Wanjie frowned. It was not nice to describe the eldest lady in a technical way. Moreover, in Lin Wanjie's heart, even if she knew it was a lie, even if she just changed her title, she still had different feelings from the eldest lady.
So Lin Wanjie corrected her seriously: "It's not a means, it's a matter of sincerity for sincerity."
"Am I not sincere enough?" Nangong Ying immediately asked, "Why can't you get used to me so much?"
The biggest difference between Nangong Ying and the eldest lady is patience.
Nangong Ying has feelings for Lin Wanjie and is sincerely devoted, but she urgently needs a result.
When you encounter a chronic person like Lin Wanjie, it is inevitable that you will suffer.
Once he becomes depressed, he becomes restless and aggressive. How can he pry Lin Wanjie's heart?
As soon as these words came out, Lin Wanjie didn't want to stop. He sighed, turned around and left.
Nangong Ying was unhappy and wanted Lin Wanjie to stay, but she couldn't bear to beg. She could only look at Lin Wanjie's back with tears rolling down her face.
After coming out of Nangong Ying's room, Lin Wanjie was also tired. When he returned to his room, he saw the eldest lady sitting by the bed.
But instead of looking at the stars and moon outside, I was lighting a lamp, holding a piece of linen clothes, and doing needlework.
Judging by the size of the clothes in her hands, she knew they were for Lin Wanjie.
This woman really needs comparison. After seeing Nangong Ying's unreasonableness, and looking back to see the eldest lady, Lin Wanjie felt indescribably warm in her heart.
I was not happy at all just now, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
With the grand plans in his mind, how could the wife of the family waste her talents on needlework?
