I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 275 Rich

At the dinner table, Lu Guan looked calm and smiled, "Be calm. You still need to be careful with what you put on paper."

"Lu Guan!" It was too disrespectful. Shen Xiaoye gritted her teeth even harder.

"What do you mean, Mr. Lu? You are using our Xiaoye's words to stop her." Shen Cungeng was the first one to be unhappy and immediately stood up for Shen Xiaoye.

Erniu and Zhuangzhuang on his left and right put down their chopsticks and looked at him unfriendlyly.

The team members at the next two tables saw the teenagers confronting each other at the dinner table and they all exchanged glances.

The people next to bodyguard Chen nudged him and asked what was going on. Everyone had become familiar with each other over the past few days, but it was the first time to see a few close teenagers chatting and laughing with each other and blushing.

"It's okay, we'll eat ours and replace the brothers guarding the cart as soon as possible." There were thirty of them, and every time they ate, they would leave a group of people with a small flag to guard the cargo.

On the other side, Shopkeeper Dai and his companions, who were following behind Shen Xiaoye's convoy and avoiding checkpoints along the way to collect goods, also noticed their abnormality. Several bosses couldn't help but sigh: It's great to be young!

After walking a long way, you still have the energy to argue.

On this side, Lu Guan spread his hands and aimed at Shen Xiaoye. He said, "Don't you find it strange? First, the caravan was blocked halfway, and then the tax was raised.

This is clearly not the action of one person alone.”

Shen Xiaoye listened to it, took a sip of tea and swallowed it, then stroked the little black cat who was busy eating fish on the stool with one hand, "Eat, eat."

After a long while, he said, “After dinner, let’s send all our team members out to explore.

The most important thing is to find out how the nearby Datong Town is different from the past."

After a pause, she continued, "We are young and it is difficult to ask around, so we can just look for shops in the city. As long as they are willing to pay in cash, we will sell the cloth to them."

"Xiao Ye, that's not what you said before." Zhuang Zhuang was a little confused as to why she became so fast.

Erniu and Shen Cungeng sighed and picked up their chopsticks again, saying to Zhuangzhuang, "We have to make decisions based on the situation. We paid a lot of money to enter the city today."

"Although the tax rate is thirty percent, the pricing here in Yunzhou is much higher than in the capital." Shen Cungeng looked worried. He had hoped that the further he went, the higher the price he would sell, so he could earn more.

Unexpectedly, a tax would take away most of the profits. You only make a few thousand pieces of cloth on a trip, and in the end you will make money for others.

"Let's not talk about it, let's eat." Not only was the tax levied at four cents of silver per piece of cloth, but it was also adjusted to one in twenty. Shen Xiaoye felt very distressed.

While eating the fish, the little black cat said, "Luckily you still have a space for 200 horses, and you didn't pay for it."

"There will be no fish to eat tomorrow." Shen Xiaoye decided to cut spending.

The little black cat shut up immediately. After he finished eating, he realized that he had paid a large amount of gold for the meal, so why shouldn't she let him eat fish?

So, when Shen Xiaoye and Lu Guan went to the cloth shop, the little black cat protested, "I have money, and I must eat fish tomorrow."

There is a river with fresh fish nearby, huh!

"Okay, as long as you give me another thousand pieces of cloth today, I'll give you two fish tomorrow." Shen Xiaoye made a promise.

Lu Guan raised his hand and scanned the not-so-big city area. "The wish is beautiful."

"Why do you always criticize me?" Shen Xiaoye glanced at him, then pointed to the entrance of a restaurant and said, "Look, it's General Wang.

Hey, Senior Sister Xuanyue." Before she finished speaking, she walked quickly over there.

Lu Guan looked away and quickly grabbed her arm: "Wait a minute, you see they are all wearing casual clothes, Taoist Xuan Yue is even dressed in men's clothing. He obviously doesn't want outsiders to know about this meeting."

"Could there be something wrong with the gold mine?" Shen Xiaoye didn't know how many people the emperor had left in Mobei. Although Dada was defeated and injured, that group of people were warlike people who were in urgent need of supplies.

Lu Guan made a "hush" sound, looked around to see if there were any people around, and said, "This matter is top secret, we can't change anything, don't try to get close to it."

He didn't know the specific implementation details, but he knew that His Majesty had transferred a battalion of Dada cavalry.

He said: "Basically, now all the tribes of Dada are hoping to trade with Da Zhou in order to exchange for supplies for the winter.

They probably wouldn't risk fighting another team of infiltrators.

And you see, the Taoist priests are highly skilled in martial arts, so they have no problem protecting themselves.

Before the war, the emperor adopted our supply plan of going deep into the desert and establishing military stations along the way.

The Nabarhu temporary camp was not completely withdrawn. There were semi-permanent supply points built every few dozen miles behind it.

We can set out to pick up people at any time."

"That's good, but don't let the captured Grand Tutor go back, otherwise he will become restless again after he catches his breath." Shen Xiaoye certainly doesn't want to fight again, but reality doesn't allow it.

Only the Great Zhou did not have weapons and weapons that could surpass those of the enemy, and did not have well-managed transportation routes, so Dada would still go south to plunder in a few years.

But that is a matter for the future. She shook her head and said, "Even if you catch one, there will always be another one popping up. They are like wild vegetables that you can never kill them all."

“That’s why we use economic blockade to squeeze their living space.

But he could really force people to death, which led to the tribute and horse market. "Lu Guan pondered for a moment and said:

"Shen Xiaoye, after this trade route, you have to find a way to get a permit.

As soon as possible, seize the opportunity to accumulate wealth during the calm period in the next few years.

You know, your uncle will be an official in the future. With the support of your family’s wealth, he will not make mistakes easily.”

"What about you?" Seeing that he looked a little lost, Shen Xiaoye slowed down his pace.

Lu Guan thought for a moment and said, “I definitely need to study too.

Even though I have made some small contributions this time, my uncle just wants me to live a safe and wealthy life and be a playboy.

He was afraid that his brother would be cut off from the family line."

Perhaps it was because my uncle asked the emperor for something that I was not summoned to the Beijing camp, and I can only study in the future.

"Study hard. I want to go to school, but there's no place to teach!" Shen Xiaoye didn't have any illusions about this.

Being a talented woman doesn't suit her. Making money is the most important thing.

The two men were talking as they passed by the opposite side of the restaurant. They did not see that General Wang and Xuan Yue upstairs had already discovered them. The little black cat noticed it, but since those two men were friends and not enemies, it did not give any warning.

"Why did these two children come to the border town again?" Xuan Yue was a little puzzled.

General Wang said: “He should be coming to Ma City.

You'd better go back and inform the people at the gold mine as soon as possible, and send out the second batch of gold and stone before the Dada people can react."

"What about supplies? Let me go back to the horse market next spring. I can't just eat mutton and wild vegetables for a few months, right?

Furthermore, the herdsmen on the grassland do not have the custom of killing the fat sheep in their own sheepfolds as their staple food.

This time I followed the delegation into the country just to take some food and fodder with me."

"No need. Someone will deliver the supplies, and they will almost arrive by now." General Wang was very confident in his deputy general who was left in Barhu.
