Chapter 152

"Brother Bai, if you climb over the mountain in front, you will almost reach the boundary of Shu County." Wu Nandu said, pointing to the rolling mountains ahead.

Feng Jiang looked at it, and it seemed that the mountain was right in front of him, but in fact, it would take more than half a day for the two of them to reach the foot of the mountain if they rode wildly.

Wangshan ran the dead horse.

Since the two of them reached an agreement, Wu Nandu originally thought about making preparations before setting off.

But Feng Jiang couldn't wait any longer. Under his strong request, Wu Nandu immediately agreed and set off on the same day.

The two hurried on the road, and it had been almost a day before they arrived here.

"How long will it take to reach Chengdu?" Feng Jiang asked.

"After passing this mountain, one can ride a horse to reach the border of Chengdu in one day." Wu Nandu said.

He is naturally familiar with this road, and the business with Wuzhai is from here.

Of course, he basically transported things to Wuzhai in Shu County, and then took what he needed from Wuzhai.

Feng Jiang nodded secretly, it should be considered fast for him to travel this way.

I hope there will be no major changes in Wuzhai in the past two days.

Feng Jiang is now a little worried about gains and losses.

If people from all walks of life gather in Wuzhai, he hopes that these guys haven't found any clues about Mrs. Wei's lineage, and that they can hide a little deeper.

But if he arrived, he hoped that only he could find the clues.

In fact, it is a kind of contradictory psychology. No matter what you say, you want the situation to develop in your favor, which is human nature.

"However, that was the past, and one day may not be enough now." Wu Nandu said again.

Seeing Feng Jiang looking at him with a questioning look, Wu Nandu couldn't help explaining: "Yizhou has a severe drought, and Shu County is the worst. There are many disaster victims there, and the road is probably not safe. Brother Bai, in fact, there is a big problem for us to go through like this. Since we have not yet set foot on the territory of Shu County, how about we hire a few people to protect us? Actually, it won’t cost much.”

"No need." Feng Jiang shook his head and said, "I know martial arts."

Wu Nandu secretly slandered in his heart.

He believed that Feng Jiang knew martial arts, and it was impossible for him to travel all the way from Yangzhou to Yizhou alone without any support.

If in normal times, those who follow the official path must be considered peaceful, and it would not be a big problem to know martial arts.

But what is the situation now, those victims are afraid that they will eat people.

Wu Nandu didn't think Feng Jiang's martial arts would be very high.

Even though Feng Jiang gave him a good feeling, he was a relatively progressive Bai family child, but in his opinion, Feng Jiang came from a wealthy family after all, so how could he suffer from the hardship of practicing kung fu?

So, martial arts must be good, but how high is it?
Anyway, Wu Nandu didn't expect much.

He had mentioned it to Feng Jiang before coming here, and that was Feng Jiang's answer.

Now that he has reached the gate of Shu County, if he does not recruit guards, he will have no chance.

Shu County is in a mess now, if you want to find guards there, you may attract disasters, robbers~~~~
"Brother Bai, are you sure?" Wu Nandu wanted to struggle again, "My life is worthless, you are different~~"

"Don't worry." Feng Jiang shook his head and said, "It's okay to keep you and me safe. Alas, the vegetation on the mountain is all dead. The drought is serious."

When entering Yizhou, Feng Jiang found that there was a big difference between this side and Chang'an side. The land was cracked, most of the vegetation had turned yellow and withered, and few were green.

The rivers and lakes have stopped flowing, even if some big rivers have not stopped flowing, there will be trickles left, the bottom of the river is all exposed, and it will dry up in a short time.

"The side of Hanzhong County is not bad, but it is said that there is no greenery at all in Shu County." Wu Nandu shook his head and sighed.

Seeing that Feng Jiang was still so persistent, he couldn't persuade him anymore.

Next, I have to rely on myself. I am a local and I am familiar with this road, hoping to avoid those dangers.

"Supposedly?"

"I haven't been able to go there for more than half a year." Wu Nandu said, "If I hadn't met you, Brother Bai, the business of my Wu family and Wuzhai would have been ruined."

Feng Jiang did not answer.

The Wu family is now in a state of desperation, with a lot of debts outside, and they can't even find someone to borrow money.

You must know that to do business with Wuzhai, you have to bring the goods they want to them first, and you have to put the money to buy these goods first.

Now Wu Nandu can't even get together the capital to buy these goods.

Originally, I could also get the goods first and then pay the money later.

Now that those merchants know the situation of their Wu family, how can they dare to pay on credit?

"Wuzhai actually urged me a few times, but I fudged them all. I hope they don't hold grudges because of it." Wu Nandu said again.

"Explain it well. I believe it's okay. At worst, I will give them some compensation. These will be mine." Feng Jiang said very generously.

Wu Nandu's heart was a little excited by Feng Jiang's words.

As expected of a son of a big business firm, his speech is different.

"Brother Bai, I would like to take the liberty to ask, how much money is the deal with Wuzhai this time?" Wu Nandu asked, "This way I have a good idea."

Asking about money is actually very taboo.

The so-called wealth should not be disclosed, generally it will not tell outsiders.

But if I don't know some background about Feng Jiang, I will be very passive when negotiating with Wuzhai.

Feng Jiang noticed Wu Nandu's uneasy expression and knew what he was worried about.

If you are an ordinary business partner, especially one you just met, you must be extremely cautious about money.

However, I don't care much about money. This time, if Wu Nandu really wants to establish a relationship with Wuzhai and enter Wuzhai, no matter how much money he spends, it will be worth it.

Gao Yi is bold, but Feng Jiang is not afraid that Wu Nandu will steal his money.

"Around 1 taels." Feng Jiang said without hesitation.

Wu Nandu couldn't help taking a deep breath, it's a big deal.

Feng Jiang has just made his debut, and it is the first time he came here to explore the way, so the price is 1 taels?

Even if you come from a big business firm, you have to be more cautious when you make a move.

Could it be that I still underestimated the commercial firms in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are really rich?

In his mind, it would be enough for Feng Jiang to try out 1000 taels. If he could add a few hundred 1000 taels more, he would be able to earn a hundred and ten taels in this transaction, which would greatly alleviate the predicament of his Wu family.

"Brother Bai, did I hear correctly?" Wu Nandu swallowed, fearing that he had misheard.

"That's right, you can talk to them at 1 taels." Feng Jiang said disapprovingly.

Pride.

Wu Nandu was filled with emotion. In front of Feng Jiang, he was really an unsophisticated turkey who had never seen the world.

Thinking about the most prosperous situation of my Wu family, all the family belongings are about 1 taels.

Unexpectedly, after losing everything in the hands of his father, he still owes a lot of money to others.

"Understood." The excitement in Wu Nandu's heart, but his enthusiasm must have extinguished, "Brother Bai, there is still a problem here, this money~~"

"Not enough?" Feng Jiang frowned slightly.

To be honest, he came out with about 2000 taels of silver this time. Although he only worked in the palace for a few months, the princess gave him 2000 taels a year.

When I said 1 taels just now, I also left some leeway for myself.

"No no no~~" Wu Nandu hurriedly shook his head, "It's too much."

"It doesn't matter, you can buy more." Feng Jiang said with a smile.

Feng Jiang's words made Wu Nandu speechless for a while.

Feelings, this young man came to Yizhou on a whim. He is not very familiar with business matters.

Fortunately, I met an honest person like myself, otherwise, let alone murdering for money, I would definitely scrape a layer of money from Feng Jiang's body.

"Wuzhai's business with outsiders in a year is only tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the medicinal materials are only a part, probably only a few thousand taels." Wu Nandu explained, "So, brother Bai, even if you buy all the medicinal materials of Wuzhai this year If you take it all over, it will cost less than 1 taels. Also, it is impossible to give you all these medicinal materials, and other people will also get a part of it. I am thinking about 2000 taels at most, not too much."

Feng Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be the case.

If Wu Nandu really wanted to say that the money was not enough, he would be a little embarrassed.

There is still 2000 taels as a reserve, I am afraid it is not safe.

Unexpectedly, there was too much silver.

Thinking about it carefully, Feng Jiang felt like a nouveau riche, thinking things were a little out of touch with reality.

It is true to say that nouveau riche.

Made a fortune with the princess.

Although Miao village forces like Wuzhai have some business exchanges with the outside world, for most of the Miao people in Wuzhai, their circle is still closed.

Therefore, this kind of transaction volume will not be too large, and Wuzhai will control it within a certain range so as not to be affected by the outside world.

"Then you can buy some other things." Feng Jiang smiled and said, "Apart from medicinal materials, what else is worth paying attention to?"

"Yes." Wu Nandu immediately became interested.

Knowing that Feng Jiang was going to spend 1 taels, he naturally hoped to help Feng Jiang spend more so that he could earn more.

Of course, he won't swindle customers, but he will arrange Feng Jiang's money reasonably. He also wants to establish a good relationship with Feng Jiang, and thinks of long-term cooperation. How can he do such scheming things?

"Wuzhai has a lot of mountain delicacies, oh, there are also a lot of wild game. These are rare delicacies in Yizhou, let alone other states. Especially in Yangzhou, you can have these mountain delicacies, which may be expensive. Some of them are expensive. It has become a tribute, and everyone is desperate to buy some."

Feng Jiang was a little surprised when he heard Wu Nandu's frothy speech.

"Listen to you, these are more popular than medicinal materials?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Wu Nandu said a little speechlessly, "Brother Bai, just because you value these medicinal materials from Wuzhai does not mean that other people also value them. Besides, even if there are some intractable diseases that need these medicinal materials, how many people in the world have them?" What about this kind of disease? So, these medicinal materials are actually not so popular. Mountain delicacies are different. Once you enjoy them once, you will not forget the taste, the freshness~~ Oh, those mountain delicacies are specially processed by Wuzhai. The dry goods made by the unique craftsmanship, outsiders can’t make that kind of authentic taste, it’s unique.”

Feng Jiang secretly shook his head.

Wu Nandu has already gone farther and farther on the road of gourmet food, and tried his best to sell himself to buy as much of these mountain delicacies as possible.

In fact, Feng Jiang knew that Wu Nandu's words were true. If he really wanted to do business and make money, his recommendation was actually the most correct.

Medicinal materials are still too niche, it was just an excuse for myself at the time.

Of course, in order to conceal his identity, Feng Jiang accepted Wu Nandu's recommendation with a smile.

After buying medicinal materials, he can use the remaining silver to buy mountain delicacies.

"Brother Bai, you will never lose money." Wu Nandu patted his chest and assured, "You think, Yangzhou is full of rich owners, so they like this kind of tune. Rare things are rare and can be sold at high prices. And these are It’s genuine, absolutely delicious, and it’s not a trick. I’m just worried that I won’t be able to get many, but I might get some of the medicinal materials.”

"Everything has to be discussed with the people in Wuzhai," Feng Jiang said.

Wu Nandu was stunned for a moment, and said nothing more.

Indeed, there was such a prerequisite. If he could not persuade the people in Wuzhai to see Feng Jiang, Feng Jiang would not make a move.

Turning around, for the sake of his Wu family's turning over, he was willing to go all out, even if he knelt down to those uncles in Wuzhai, he would admit it.

It is said that men have gold under their knees.

But isn't he kneeling now just for the silver, for the gold?

no big deal.

Next, the two talked about the drought, and inevitably mentioned the government's attitude.

Wu Nandu was extremely angry about this, and the government's attitude was simply driving people to a dead end.

Feng Jiang secretly sighed in his heart.

I also heard some from Liang Jiangxing before, and this kind of thing is actually not surprising.

It is too difficult for the local government to do anything.

Feng Jiang hoped that Liang Jiangxing would gain something from Yang Yuze.

Yang Yuze's letter to the court is affirmative, not to mention his friendship with Liang Jiangxing.

As far as Liang Jiangxing brought him news clues about Mrs. Wei's lineage, it was worth his risk to help Liang Jiangxing and Yizhou win some disaster relief food from the imperial court.

Besides, Feng Jiang was still thinking, if Wu Nandu really negotiated the deal, how would he deal with these things?

It is impossible to transport it to the Bai family, so it can only be delivered to Wei Yixue's firm.

In this way, it is inevitable to explain to Wu Nandu.

However, these explanations must be done after I have finished my business, so what does it matter if I say it directly?
For Wu Nandu, it's all about business anyway.

It is also a good way to cooperate with Wei's firm.

Entering Chengdu City was more troublesome than the two expected, and it took them half a day to arrive.

The hungry people on the road are skinny, and there are people who starve to death on the roadside from time to time.

Wild dogs are running around.

How could Feng Jiang, a traveler, have seen such a miserable scene?
In the past, I could only see some shots on TV and movies, but now I really feel it, and my heart is extremely depressed.

Ordinarily, he doesn't feel much about killing people in the arena now, but this kind of human tragedy has to make people feel moved.

Feng Jiang distributed the dry food he brought, but what can his distribution be worth?

In the end, it depends on the government and the court's disaster relief efforts.

But the Yizhou Black Lotus Sect is ready to move, and there will be a bigger disaster next, no matter for everyone.

Civil upheaval, uprising.

Once there is chaos, the people at the bottom will bear the brunt first, followed by some big households.

But those who really benefited were those few people, mainly the Black Lotus Sect and the real powerful forces.

In fact, the city of Chengdu has been closed for a long time, the gates of the city are closed, and traffic is prohibited.

There are too many refugees gathered outside the city, and it is impossible for the government to open the city gate to let them enter the city.

That is to say, some porridge shops have been set up outside, some from the government, and some from the Jishan Family in the city.
