Zheng Zuliang planned to go to the northwest. Now in a peaceful and prosperous era, the food prices are getting worse and worse, no longer as popular as before. He is a shrewd businessman, and smart businessman can smell every slightest bit of money.

, At this moment, he turned his gaze to the northwest.

There has never been a day since Emperor Taizu. The Dangxiang people in the northwest were very crazy. Whoever messed with them would revenge wildly and never stop. Even the Tubo people who thought they were fierce were not asked for it.

What's cheaper to live?

Now his family business in Xinghua is booming, but he has not made any progress in some years. In this small place, all kinds of business channels have been allocated by various families. If you want to get a share of the pie, you have to work hard and make trouble in the small place.

The gain is not worth the loss, nor is it profitable from a mountain of gold and silver.

He understands the principle that if he doesn't advance, he will retreat. Now he is still in his prime, and his family's business is acceptable. But his son Li Xian, no, everyone on the road is called stone, it's really like a stone, it's all at all

I have not inherited my strengths. I can still hold on now. After a while, I will lose my energy. It will take less than a few years to lose all my family business.

Shi Tou has experienced some things over the past year and is much more sensible than before, but it is still not enough. Compared with the old foxes in the county, it is more immature than a rabbit. All he can do is to make money while it is still possible to fight for his life.

, fight and build a golden mountain for the stone, making him unable to lose even if he wants to lose. In this way, he can go there with peace of mind after a hundred years.

It is said that the new emperor has succeeded the throne and the whole world is peaceful and prosperous, but many people disagree. One of the general feelings is that money is getting worse and worse now. Rice is not worth money, silk cannot be sold, and even the porcelain business is very weak.

Wealth and honor are in danger, and if you don’t take this trip, you may not make a lot of money. The northwest is now full of people, and all kinds of resources are in short supply. Inconspicuous things in the southeast can be sold in the northwest.

A good price, the least valuable thing is the head.

Now the northwest is still cold and the land is frozen, and it will take nearly two months to walk along the way. When we arrive in the northwest, almost all the ice and snow have been fully developed, and the climate is pleasant. Zheng Zuliang picked an auspicious day on the 21st of the first lunar month. The almanac said that it is Yichashi.

Nacai, travel, and alliances are all great opportunities to do business. If you don’t leave at this time, then when will you wait?

Fengshan is a must-pass place for Xinghua to go to the north. Shi Tou and his father sent him to Fengshan. Zheng Zuliang first went to visit his elder brother-in-law Zheng Yiqian. Zheng Yiqian felt very uncomfortable when he looked at his brother-in-law.

, he has achieved fame and fortune, and his career is more prosperous than himself, but he still has the spirit of never giving up.

The relationship between the two is very delicate, and it is not considered good, but it is because of the relationship between the in-laws. After Zheng Zuliang became successful, the relationship between the two became more complicated. Zheng Zuliang is a wonderful person. He knows what his brother-in-law thinks, and has been doing so over the years.

Try to travel as little as possible, but during festivals and festivals, he will never miss the etiquette he should do.

Zheng Zuliang came to Zheng Yiqian's house for a while, and some said nothing for a while, but nothing was said. The two wives hugged each other and chatted for a long time, but Shitou didn't plan to go far with his father.

He sent Zheng Zuliang to Fengshan, and his uncle's house was almost going back, and the family also needed someone to take care of it.

When Zheng Zuliang walked to Fengshan, he went to Wanda specifically to visit Liang Chuan. For some reason, he always felt that this young man could help Shi Tou. There are now some bamboo baskets placed in Wanda store, which are placed in the corner.

I was so idle that I could catch flies, but I didn’t see Liang Chuan’s shadow, only Ye Xiaochai was in the store.

"Where is your boss?"

Ye Xiaochai knew Zheng Zuliang. This high-ranking official made a big investment when he opened his business and left a deep impression on Liang Chuan’s family. “Our boss is in Helu, and he usually doesn’t have a store.”

"Dad, I know where my third brother's house lives. Do you want to go to his house?"

"I want it, go."

To be honest, Zheng Zuliang didn't know what was going on during his trip to the northwest. Liang Chuan is a man with extensive knowledge and has unique insights into some worldly affairs. Before leaving, he went to ask him if he had any good suggestions for his trip. Maybe

It will have miraculous effects.

He hadn't been to the north bank of Fengshan South Stream for many years. Even his brother-in-law looked down on this land, so he had no intention of spending time here. His brother-in-law bought a large area of ​​land on the north bank.

Under his name, his status as a juren can exempt many high taxes.

But I didn't expect that this land could not grow rice. Because there was no stable water source, it took a lot of energy to fetch water from the river to the tenant farmers. Few people were willing to do it, so naturally they couldn't take care of the seedlings. The tenant farmers were not worried about not having a place to farm now.

The income from farming is too low now. They would rather go to Qingyuan County or go north to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to do some handicrafts, and they can earn more money in a year than in the fields.

Today he came to the north bank of Fengshan South Stream. This magical land gave him a completely different scene. The original land was bare, and people only planted some sorghum or drought wheat, but these crops were rice in the south.

In contrast, the harvest seems pitifully small. People may plant some vegetables to supplement it and will never grow other crops.

Now the large area of ​​land here is full of sugarcane. The sugarcane is almost one foot long in the field. The sugarcane leaves are green, but the sugarcane poles are green and black. They grow straight in the ridges, neatly arranged.

.Growing sugarcane requires a lot of water to keep watering. Several tenants carried buckets and drove the water from the south stream one by one. They carried hundreds of meters of road to the fields and watered them one by one.

Unexpectedly, there are still people who are willing to take care of crops like this. If it weren't for the fields that could divert water from the Kuotian ridge, who would be so hardworking in this place? Farmers who work hard for landlords to farm. They are not only sugarcane but also farmers who grow other crops.

It seems that there is also a spirit here that farmers in other places do not have, which makes people feel very hopeful and energetic.

Is these changes related to this Saburo? At least he knows that these sugarcane fields were planted by Liang Chuan’s suggestion.

Shitou led his father to the He family's ancestral hall. Here, the house of He Baozheng's family is quite spacious. As for this ancestral hall, it is considered to be disrepair in his opinion. He knew that the Liangchuan family was building a new one.

I also knew that he was temporarily living under someone else's fence, but I didn't expect that Liang Chuan lived in such a dilapidated house. I felt a sigh in my heart that it was indeed the prime minister who came from Zhoumo and the general who came from Wu Zu. Such a great man is

Only by starting from the grassroots, enduring hardships and being unmoved can one achieve great achievements.

Liang Chuan was chopping firewood in the yard. When he looked up, he actually saw Zheng Zuliang!

"Master Zheng, why are you here? There is nothing to entertain you in the humble house."

Zheng Zuliang likes Liang Chuan's neither humble nor arrogant temperament. Men should do this, don't bully the young man's poor.

"I may have to go out for a long trip and pass by Fengshan temporarily. Thinking of you here, I came to see you specially. A few days ago, your house was on a lucky day, and I planned to come to help you in person, but today I will go out.

, I still need to arrange many trivial matters in the store, so I asked Li Xian to do it for me, don’t be surprised."

"If Mr. Zheng is not there, I'll see you. I just didn't want to blame Yuzhi for asking her to take her to the Lantern Festival. Fortunately, there was no such thing as Lu Zi. Master Zheng, don't blame me.

”

"Yuzhi is used to being wild, but I was unable to discipline you and caused trouble. After I came back this time, I scolded her hard and locked her up at home and banned her. When I came back from this trip, I would give her a gift.

She found a good family and let others discipline him well."

When Liang Chuan heard this, he thought to himself that you can't blame me for this stinky girl. You begged me to take you to the Lantern Festival. It was discovered by your father, it was nothing to do with me.

Liang Chuan took Zheng Zuliang to the inner hall to sit, and Yi Niang brewed some herbal tea. These herbal teas were also picked by Liang Chuan outside. After a few days of sunshine, they threw them into a hot pot and cooked. Not to mention, they tasted good and cool.

Reduce fire. Especially a few masters of Luocheng do heavy work. After drinking this tea, they kept asking Liangchuan where they picked this herb. They also brought some back to soak it in the future.

"Is Mr. Zheng going to the northwest for this trip?"

Zheng Zuliang tasted the herbal tea from Liangchuan's family, which had a unique flavor. He had never drunk this tea. Liang Chuan spoke first, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he went straight to the point.

"Sanlang doesn't know if he has any insights, please give me some advice." Zheng Zuliang said it intentionally or unintentionally, and felt like he had written it over.

Liang Chuan frowned and said, "Master Zheng, if you want to make a fortune in war, it is the most chaotic to go to the northwest now, but if you want to do some stable business honestly on this trip, I advise you not to go.

.”

Liang Chuan was not shocking and died. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was shocked to death. Zheng Zuliang asked in surprise: "Sanlang, why did you say this? Is it because the Li family in the northwest is preparing to provoke trouble and start a war with me, the Song Dynasty?"

Liang Chuan would definitely not tell him that not only would war start, but the Li family also would establish their own dynasty and stand in a three-legged state with the Song Dynasty. If these words were heard by those who were interested, it would be very simple to condemn Liang Chuan's crime of being a traitor.

This is the wheel of history, and Liang Chuan cannot change it.

Liang Chuan could only say tactfully: "I have analyzed the current situation for a long time, and there are more and more refugees coming from the northwest. Did you see some tenant farmers growing sugarcane on the way you just came?"

"I've seen that these tenants are fugitives from northwest to south? No wonder I saw that they worked so hard and still thought that they must not be our local tenants, otherwise they wouldn't have worked so hard."

"Yes, Mr. Zheng, you're not wrong. They are all tenant farmers from the northwest."

Zheng Zuliang felt a little shaken, "Sanlang, based on this, you can determine that the northwest is not peaceful?"

Liang Chuan had no other reason. If he talked too much, others would become suspicious and could only shake his head helplessly.

Zheng Zuliang thought about it, and Liang Chuan said it was not unreasonable, but based on this point alone, it was concluded that the war in the northwest would recur, and Zheng Zuliang did not agree. The Song Dynasty and Northern Liao Dynasty had been residing for a long time, and it had passed several decades of prosperity.

Now is a place where the country is strong and the people are rich, and the northwest is small. I don’t know that they dare to act wildly in the Song Dynasty.

Liang Chuan took a sip of tea and glanced at the corner of his eyes at the thoughtful Zheng Zuliang. He probably wouldn't believe his words, so he could only say again: "Master Zheng, you are heading north on this trip. If you meet someone named Xin Wubing on the way.

Young man, just walk with him. He is very skilled, and I believe you can take care of him when you encounter trouble!"

"But the one who danced with you on stage that day!"

"Yes, Mr. Zheng has a good memory!"
