Chapter 48 Bigger and Stronger
The sun was high and bright.

On the dry loess land, a flatbed carriage was driving on the path between the walls.

Sun Jie was sitting in the carriage, looking around with a telescope.

The binoculars were brought over this time. I bought almost a hundred of them, with various multiples and specifications.

Zhao Dading led a dozen strong men at the front of the carriage to open the way for Sun Jie.

Behind and around, there are strong men with knives hanging from their waists.

These strong men did not wear armor, and the clothes on their bodies were the clothes of ordinary people in this era.

During the Ming Dynasty, the people were allowed to have weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds, but they were not allowed to have armor, command flags and other things.

Entering and exiting the Xi'an Mansion with a waist knife, coupled with the guidance of the Prince Qin Mansion, the guards will not be too embarrassed.

If they were wearing armor, even if they were not carrying weapons, it would be impossible for Sun Jie and the others to go in, or they might even face swords.

This time, it was Zhao Dading who accompanied Sun Jie back home.

On the other side of the garrison, Chen Hu will train recruits, and Liang Wu will guard the prisoners and build brick and tile kilns and other kilns.

They couldn't draw many people, so they could only bring Zhao Dading and some veterans with them.

In the telescope, we can see a few weasels running by from time to time.

The weasel is also called Huang Pizi, and in some places it is called Huang Daxian.

As for whether those legends were true, Sun Jie didn't know.

The weasels flashed by, kicking up clouds of dust.

"My lord, we will arrive at the Xi'an Mansion after another [-] miles, and we will be there this afternoon." Zhao Dading turned his head and looked at Sun Jie.

Sun Jie nodded, and stuffed the telescope into a small box on the flatbed.

"Let the brethren speed up, and reward them well when we get back!" Sun Jie laughed.

"Order!"

Zhao Dading smiled and cupped his hands, arranging Sun Jie's order.

Xi'an Mansion is located in the hinterland of Guanzhong, and the surrounding terrain is gentle, which is much better than that of the Loess Plateau.

Entering the territory of Xi'an Prefecture, the terrain suddenly became flat.

Although it is still desolate to the naked eye, it is much better in Fuping County.

The city gate in the north of the city was not closed, and a large group of hungry people had piled up outside.

From time to time, you can see the porridge workers sent by the government.

It's just a drop in the bucket, and it's of no use.

The hotter the weather, the worse the smell.

Sewage flows across the ground, and stinking corpses can be seen everywhere on both sides of the official road.

This was the case at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Food shortages, refugees were precarious, and officials were corrupted, making life increasingly difficult for the people.

Since the development of the Ming Dynasty, it has been rotten from the root.

The car passed by the official road, and the refugees around were staring numbly at Sun Jie's car passing by.

The gate of the city is open, although the thieves have not been wiped out, but the people in the city still have to live.

Especially for those "rich and powerful", if the gates of the city are kept closed, how will the supplies they enjoy be transported in?
After checking the road guide, Sun Jie's carriage entered the city without hindrance.

These city guards also understood the situation of Prince Qin's Mansion in Xi'an Mansion, so naturally they would not be troublesome.

These strong men who came with Sun Jie had never been to Xi'an Mansion before.

In northern Shaanxi, the conditions are harsh and the environment is harsh. How can it compare with Xi'an Prefecture?
Although it is not as good as the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, in the eyes of these northern refugees, it is a very good place.

As if their eyes were not enough, they looked around and lost their mind for a while.

The world of flowers and flowers is charming to the eye, and Sun Jie has seen the prosperity of modern times, so the scene of Xi'an Mansion is naturally not attractive.

But they are different.

"Remember your purpose, what are you looking at?" Zhao Dading yelled, and those distracted young men quickly reacted.

Hastily regained his composure, not daring to look randomly any more.

Crossing the street, the carriage stopped in front of the yard.

A long time in the future, the door has already been covered with dust.

Open the door and enter, and the people behind you file in.

There was a small shop across the street, the waiter was squatting at the door, his eyes lit up when he saw Sun Jie who opened the door, and then disappeared into the street.

Came to the backyard and took out the food that hadn't been taken away before.

Basically, they are some instant noodles, ham sausages, self-heating pots and other instant food products, which were brought over a long time ago.

For Sun Jie, this meal is just enough.

But those strong men squatted on the ground with a look of intoxication, as if they were eating immortal food from the sky.

Just after the meal was finished, before things could be packed, there was a knock on the door.

Sun Jie frowned, and said, "Could it be Zhou Da, who is a hot guy?"

Apart from him, Sun Jie really couldn't figure out who else would be so active.

Let people pack up their things, and Sun Jie went to open the door.

Opening the latch, the man outside leaned forward with too much force and almost fell to the ground.

Sun Jie dodged, took a few steps back, and saw the face of the person coming.

Sure enough, it is this week old.

"Brother Sun, it's been a long time, I thought you wouldn't come back!"

Zhou Da hurriedly pulled back, stood up straight, looked at Sun Jie with a smile, and then walked in.

"Brother Zhou is well-informed. You came just as soon as I arrived. You are really amazing!" Sun Jie said with a half-smile.

"Hahaha, it's okay, this place is so close to Prince Qin's Mansion, it's normal to know!" Zhou Da laughed.

"Okay, let's go in and talk!"

He closed the door again, and led Zhou Da to the back hall.

In the back hall stood those tall and strong men, the knives around their waists had already been removed, and the things they had eaten had already been packed away.

He looks similar to ordinary people, but his aura should not be underestimated.

The strong men were divided into two rows, standing on both sides of the back hall, with extraordinary momentum.

"Brother, let's go out for a trip, why are there so many good guys? It's amazing!" Zhou Da felt a little guilty.

From the very beginning, Zhou Da felt that Sun Jie had an extraordinary status.

Just going out for a while, there are so many good players around, as expected.

Sun Jie sat on the main seat, looked at Zhou Da with a smile, and there was a lot of light in his eyes: "Brother Zhou was joking, if you don't bring a few more good hands, how can you come back alive?

Brother Zhou's land is not short from here, do you know what I encountered on the way?I almost never come back! "

Zhou Da sat beside him, tucking his temples in embarrassment.

Why is Zhou Da not clear about the matter over there?

Although the thieves in Shaanxi have been "cleared out", there are still many small groups of thieves.

Zhou Tianran knew this, of course he understood what Sun Jie was talking about.

"Brother Sun, isn't he back? Isn't he back?" Zhou Da said with a smile.

"Of course I came back. If I didn't come back, I might have died there long ago!"

His tone suddenly changed, and he stared at Zhou Da again, "I went to the bedroom to have a look just now, and the things inside suddenly became a lot messy, I think Brother Zhou will give me an explanation!"

Cold sweat broke out from his forehead in an instant, Zhou Da was a little flustered.

After Sun Jie left, Zhou Daben wanted to take advantage of his absence and sneak in to have a look, maybe that Ye Mingzhu was somewhere.

The door lock was changed by Sun Jie, so he climbed over the wall and entered.

Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, I couldn't find anything.

However, Zhou Da obviously remembered that when he left, he had already taken care of all his hands and feet, so he shouldn't be discovered.

One hundred secrets and one sparse, no matter how powerful a person is, they will more or less leave clues, let alone a person like Zhou Da who has an eye for money.

When Sun Jie was inspecting the bedroom just now, he found traces of someone coming.

Sun Jie didn't know many people in the entire Xi'an mansion, except for Zhou Da, there were not many people.

Among these people, only Zhou Da was the most greedy.

No one else could do such a thing except him.

"How can it be? Maybe it's a thief or a mouse got in!"

Zhou Da said with a sneer.

At this time, Zhou Da would never admit it anyway.

"A little thief? Which family's little thief dares to come here?" Sun Jie looked at Zhou Da playfully.

Zhou Da's scalp felt numb when Sun Jie looked at him, and his whole body felt unwell.

"Okay, I don't care about this matter, I hope no one will come again in the future!"

Sun Jie said, turning the matter over.

Zhou Da is not dead, he is still testing Sun Jie.

"Brother Sun, I wonder if that bead is still there?"

Zhou Da finally expressed his greatest purpose.

Sun Jie looked at Zhou Da quietly with a calm face.

"Brother Zhou, the beads are still there, but I almost lost my life, how should this matter be settled?

You know the value of that bead better than me. To be honest, those dry lands, do you think you can replace that bead?
Besides, even if I am willing to exchange the beads for you, these brothers of mine probably won't either!

The cooperation between us has just begun, don't be so anxious, this bead will always be reserved for Brother Zhou! "

Sun Jie sometimes threatens and sometimes speaks kind words.

Although Zhou Da felt a little dissatisfied, he still endured it.

Not long after, Zhou Da walked on the way back, his face was neither good nor bad.

Beads are out of reach, which is to be expected.

It was originally some broken ground that no one wanted. It would be strange if the beads were exchanged so easily.

Looking at the palace not far ahead, an idea flashed in Zhou Da's mind to tell him about this matter.

Lin Hou'er's face also appeared with this idea.

Before Zhou Da presented the mineral water bottle, Lin Hou'er said that he would be promoted in the future.

But after such a long time, no news came out.

Let alone rumors, Lin Hou'er hasn't come out since then.

According to this, even if he reported this matter, he would probably be swallowed by Lin Hou'er.

At that time, all previous efforts were in vain.

For a while, Zhou Da felt a lot more melancholy.

After seeing off Zhou Da, Sun Jie took Zhao Dading and others to the shop that sold glass mirrors.

The shop is not far from here, and the location is obvious. It didn't take long for Sun Jie to come here.

Although Sun Jie only came once, the goods he sold were extraordinary, and the waiter in the shop had already remembered him deeply in his heart.

As soon as his right foot stepped into the store door, the waiter's joyful and excited voice rang out.

"Yo, my lord, I haven't seen you for a long time!" The waiter trotted up to Sun Jie and greeted him with a smile.

Sun Jie nodded and said, "It's been a while since I've been here, and I'm here today to hang around, anyway, it's nothing to do, let's relax!"

"Does this master want to sell or buy today? You look at it first, and I will greet the shopkeeper!"

While talking, the waiter in the shop trotted into it.

Not long after, the shopkeeper ran out from inside with a smile on his face.

The waiter followed behind the shopkeeper, holding a tray with several cups of tea in it.

"I heard that the magpies were calling on the branch in front of the door today, so I knew that the nobleman was coming today. Seeing it now, it is true!"

The shopkeeper stood in front of Sun Jie, bowed his hands to Sun Jie with a smile, took out a cup of tea from the tray in the second-hand store behind him, and handed it to Sun Jie.

"Shopkeeper Sun is a distinguished customer. The shop is shabby, and there is only a cup of rough tea and fresh water. Don't take offense!" The shopkeeper looked humble.

Sun Jie took the teacup, took a sip, and praised: "The shopkeeper is joking, if this tea is crude tea, wouldn't it be the leaves of rotten trees that I drink every day?"

"Hahaha, shopkeeper Sun was joking!" The shopkeeper laughed loudly.

Sun Jie held the teacup and asked, "How does the shopkeeper know that my surname is Sun? And why do you call him the shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper said: "Before the opening of the Mitang Pavilion, there was a big show for several days. Who knew about this? I happened to join in the fun, so I realized that it turned out to be Shopkeeper Sun's shop."

"I see!" Sun Jie nodded.

"My next Yang Lin, the small print is safe!"

The shopkeeper reported his name.

"Shopkeeper Sun came here today, is he selling treasures or buying them?" Yang Lin looked at Sun Jie.

"It's okay to just come and hang around at home!" Sun Jieyun said calmly.

"Since that's the case, I'll take shopkeeper Sun around!"

Yang Lin took Sun Jie with him very enthusiastically, wandering around in and out of the store, and even took Sun Jie to the backyard.

There is a locust tree in the backyard, which grows vigorously and densely.

There were stone tables and benches under the shade of the tree, and Sun Jie and Yang Lin sat under the tree.

The teacup was placed on the stone table, Sun Jie said: "This is a good place, the summer is hot, and the courtyard is somewhat shady, so it is quite comfortable."

"Hey, that's all there is to it anyway, nothing serious!" Yang Lin waved his hand and said indifferently.

As he was talking, Yang Lin's expression suddenly became serious. He lowered his voice a little, and looked at Sun Jie seriously, "Brother Sun, I'm curious about something, I don't know if I should say it or not!"

Sun Jie looked at Yang Lin in such a state, and he was a little more solemn, "Shopkeeper Yang, but it's okay to talk!"

"Since that's the case, then I won't hide it.

I don't know about your honey business, have you thought about expanding the scale? "Yang Lin stared at Sun Jie intently, afraid of missing something, and couldn't help but feel uneasy.

As soon as these words came out, Sun Jie instantly understood what Yang Lin was up to.

I'm afraid, seeing that my business is doing well, I want to intervene.

"How do you say that?" Sun Jie asked back.

Yang Lin didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "To be honest, I am a member of the Qin merchants. We Qin merchants are not as good as the Shanxi merchants with industries all over the world, but we are also a merchant gang that travels the world, and we still have some skills.

Your honey is excellent in color and appearance.Why don't we cooperate with each other for mutual benefit? "

Sun Jie didn't answer directly, but fell into deep thought.

As for sugar and other goods, Sun Jie could get as much as he wanted.

However, there is an obvious problem in front of Sun Jie.

That is the shortage of sales channels.

It is also a very painful thing to have goods but not sell them.

Now that Yang Lin is here, why don't we have a good talk.

If possible, work with him.

Although Qin merchants are not as good as Jin merchants, they are much better than fighting alone.
