Chapter 80 The Wisdom of the Old People

Hundreds of cavalrymen left the city smoothly, but Cai Yan was in a state of great difficulty and felt like a disaster was coming.

"Isn't it really like this?"

"It shouldn't be so unlucky..."

...

"It must not!"

...

Cai Hua kept muttering all the way. In his previous life, he saw the miserable consequences of Kaifeng's destruction on the Internet. He was very sympathetic to the royal family members who were taken to the north. After becoming the fifth yamen of Cai Jing, he rejected the city, panicked and unwilling to stay in Kaifeng for a long time.

I felt a premonition of being unlucky, and my mind was like eggplant caused by frost. When I arrived in Liujiagou, Gu Qinniang looked at him with no energy and looked very strange.

"The hill is long... I care about that girl very much..."

"Stop!"

Before Cai Yan could finish her words, he interrupted her with a hand. His strange gaze was already panicking. He spoke this sentence again, and he could no longer suppress the stuffiness in his chest. He stared at the woman who was out of the carriage.

"No...Which eye did you see that I care about her? In addition, this time, I met twice in total!"

Seeing his face full of anger and shame, Gu Qinniang not only did not fear, but looked at him even more strangely, and did not object, just looked at his little face...

"you……"

"No... care or not, does it have a penny to do with you? Do you know who she is? Do you know how troublesome she is?"

"Don't you, your hair is long and your knowledge is short. I don't know you as well!"

Cai Yan was very angry and didn't need Shiqi to help. He flashed and jumped off the war horse and strode towards Liu Yidao who came to us. Seeing him angry, not only Gu Qinniang looked weird, but Shiqi and Yidan's followers who had always had cold faces all showed weird faces.

"Old Liu, where is the man? Nothing happened, right?"

Cai Yan tried his best to speak calmly, and his tone was still a little angry. Liu Yidao was a little confused, and thought it was because of the Guangming Cult, so he nodded and said, "They came here last night, but Bao Daoyi's situation was not very good."

"Um."

Cai Yan said no more. It is not a secret place for each store of goods. It is not a rare thing for Bao Daoyi to find this place.

Liujiagou is just a mountain valley village, and the village is not big. In the early years, Hairui Business Company had already bought 80% of the land. In order to avoid flood damage, it built a larger courtyard on the top of a low mountain.

Looking at the arrow tower set up around the courtyard, Cai Huang nodded with satisfaction, climbed up the arrow tower, looked down at the entire Liujiagou...

"Climbing high and far... It's indeed a good place."

Looking down at the earth, his mind became much more open and his original sorrow was gone. Looking at the quiet and peaceful village, Liu Yidao also smiled faintly.

"It is indeed a good place to stay close to Kaifeng and not be affected by floods."

"Well……"

Cai Yan shook his head and chuckled. He really became a bad word. He didn't plan to correct it. He smiled and said, "Be prepared for danger in times of peace. This place is so close to Kaifeng City, so there is no possibility of a large number of bandits appearing. In this case, the Arrow Tower can be set up, which is very good."

Seeing that Cai Yan was interested, Liu Yidao smiled and said, "It is not easy to build a warehouse on the mountain. Except for the house where goods are stored, everything seems rough and simple."

As he said that, his rough finger pointed to the foot of the mountain and said, "Henan was hit by a disaster, and the manpower was very cheap, so he could just eat. So the elderly in the gang discussed whether they could build a village city? Later, the government did not allow it, so they built a larger courtyard on the mountain."

"Kaifeng City is not without a higher place. It is not impossible to build a larger warehouse courtyard in the city. It is just that some of our people are from Liao. One is the people of the Song Dynasty who do not like Liao. Two is... Many of them have committed crimes in Liao. If they are seen by Liao envoys, it will be a very troublesome thing, so the warehouse is built here."

Cai Yan nodded silently. Hairui merchants traveled around the country to sell goods, but they had very little interaction with local merchants in the Song Dynasty, and more often traded with Liao Kingdom in the north. This was also the result of the poor reputation of the Cai family.

"Old Liu, how many people are there in Hairui Business?"

Cai Yan suddenly asked about the internal affairs of the business, and Liu Yidao was stunned.

"There are not many people belonging to the Hailong Gang, there are only about 300 people in total. There are a little more ordinary people, with five or six hundred people, and almost more than a thousand people rely on us to survive. These people are basically from the Liao Dynasty, and they are responsible for the safety of the goods along the way."

Liu Yidao said: "From Suhang and Hangzhou, the road is basically safe and safe, but it is not necessarily the case when you pass Kaifeng. Every year, many merchants die. The more they go north, the more dangerous it is. Not only are the officers and soldiers of the Song and Liao countries secretly engaged in bandits, but also real bandits and water bandits intercepting the road, so some escorts are needed to ensure the safety of the goods."

"We are responsible for the safety of goods in the Song Dynasty, while Liao people are responsible for the safety of the Liao people. It seems that half of the Song Dynasty and half of the Liao people are responsible for the safety. In fact, it is not. Basically, the Liao people are responsible for the safety. However, most of the people here are Liao people who have committed crimes in the Liao Kingdom or cannot survive for various reasons."

Cai Huang frowned and said, "In Song Dynasty, even if the people of Liao are used, they are still in Song Dynasty. The goods are relatively safe. But once the goods enter the Liao Dynasty, what if the Liao people who are responsible for safety kill and embezzle our goods?"

Liu Yidao Zheng pointed out: "What the young master said is that after all, it is not his own person, so it is difficult to really ensure that they will be as the young master said. However, we have been in business for more than ten years and have not happened. Except for the loss of goods, this kind of thing has not happened during this period. Moreover, the loss of goods has caused many deaths and injuries among the Liao people. Not only did their leader Xiao Shan die on the spot, but only more than ten people survived, and most of them are disabled. It is not because of the black man."

Seeing that Cai Yi was a little confused, Liu Yidao explained: "The goods belong to us. They traveled north from Suzhou and Hangzhou, and almost crossed half of the Great Song Kingdom. Although they used the Gangchen transportation, they still spent a lot of money. The people of Liao were only responsible for the security within the Liao Kingdom, and their efforts were much less than us, but they took 30% of the profits except for the capital."

"30% of the profit is nearly 100,000 yuan a year. Our business is not a one-time transaction. If they really look like the young master said, they will not have any contacts in the future, or they will completely cut off their contacts with the Liao Kingdom. For them, black eating and black eating is not a good choice."

"Even so, in order to ensure that the other party will not betray the agreement, each time the goods are shipped, both parties must verify the value. They are responsible for safety. Although the goods are lost, they still have to take out half of the value of the goods as a guarantee, and they must be guaranteed by the guarantor. Not only that, they must also send their children and relatives to Song for guarantee."

Cai Yan was stunned for a moment, and finally had to admit the wisdom of the elderly, one was the interests and the other was the threat. With the dual guarantee, even if there were other ideas, they would be wiped out.
