The white silver had been put into the bag, so the caravan naturally did not dare to neglect it. All the goods were unloaded and placed everywhere according to the category.

The southern goods and spices are stored separately, and the same is true for dried fruits and fruits. As for the coarse and heavy pottery, they are now opened, and the dozens of water tanks and pottery bowls, all of which are used by refugees. Because they did not take care of the preparations before, they have lived a very inconvenient life these days and should have purchased them from the outside.

As for those daily groceries, etc., Li He and Fu Yu were classified there, some were put into the warehouse, and some were directly distributed to servants and refugees. Even the farmers in the farm were assigned. Everyone had the available utensils, and they knew that the future would be more convenient, and everyone in the farm was very happy.

Even the young policemen who have been out of the matter are envious of the hot atmosphere of this farm. They are out of place with this group and don’t think so. But as everyone stays in this farm for a longer time, they are more and more attracted by the vigorous atmosphere, and their desire to integrate into this group becomes stronger and stronger.

After the goods were unloaded, the animals pulling the cart were unloaded and taken to the yard with the camels loading to feed and rest. The caravan managers and friends were also placed in their residences. Some people planned to let them live in the shanty towns where the refugees lived, but Zhu Da specially asked the farmers in the fields to vacate several houses for the caravan to live in. When all this was settled, it was almost dark.

Although the three people in the caravan were so bloody that the others should have to treat, they killed two sheep in the farm and took out a few jars of wine. The reception banquet was rich enough.

"San Master, will the caravan leave tomorrow?" Fu Yu asked in a low voice while busy.

In Fu Yu's opinion, the Li family caravan sold out all the goods today and would leave home early tomorrow. After all, it was already in the twelfth lunar month, and everyone was in a hurry to go home for the New Year. But seeing that the Li family caravan was placed so thoroughly, it seemed like they wanted to live in this farm for a while, so Fu Yu asked this question.

If you work in three classes and six rooms, if you are apprenticing at a commercial store, asking questions will be considered to be talkative and troublesome and despised. However, in the group Zhu Da, you like to think about it and ask questions is a sign of progress. Fu Yu realized this earlier than others.

He asked Li He in a low voice, but Zhu Da was also standing here to check the goods and heard Fu Yu's inquiry. Before Li He could speak, Zhu Da smiled and said with a smile: "The profit of such a caravan team cannot be seen from the departure and return journey alone. It is very likely that the departure journey will not make money, or even a little loss. It mainly depends on the subsidy earned from the return journey, or make more money on the return journey, or make less money on the return journey or lose money, but you cannot let go of any journey, and you will have no money to make any money if you let go."

Fu Yu is a smart man. When Zhu Da said that, he suddenly realized. Seeing Zhu Da carefully inspecting bamboo tools, he couldn't help but sigh, this man is good at martial arts, has a strategy, and is so outstanding in business. How many skills does he have? Is he a generalist?

The farm did not sit down the houses with so many people at the same time, so it simply set up a flowing mat on the open space. The hot soup full of mutton and mutton mixed with mixed grain pancakes and pickled vegetables was full of oil and water, and the portion was full of weight. As for those who were in charge and had enough status, they all had some salted duck eggs and braised food.

Zhu Da set up a table at his residence, and Li He and Chang Shen accompanied him. As for the caravan, Li Zhuang only brought the old manager over. Zhu Da's table was much more exquisite than outside, but there were only two more dried vegetables and one more chicken.

This is a private banquet, kind and relaxing. Li Zhuang also introduced the old manager, who was an old servant of the Li family. His name was abandoned before, and now he is called Li Fu. This is also a common name for slaves and their families to have children, and it is nothing more than blessing, wealth, longevity, and joy.

"...Our ancestors came from Weihui, Henan..." Although Li Zhuang was older than Li He, he had no intention of being arrogant. Instead, he gathered relatives with Li He and showed kindness to everyone beside Zhu Da. The atmosphere in the house was even more friendly. Both sides had to drink a few sips of wine to warm up. They earned hundreds of taels of silver in the day and punished the disobedient people in the caravan. Li Zhuang was very energetic, but he also knew very clearly who gave him all this.

Zhu Da spoke straight to the point: "In six months, I need all kinds of daily groceries here. I won't say that they are too detailed. The family only comes here to put them in clothes. What does he need to buy to make his life live? There are a thousand or thousands of families like this, so you can prepare the stock according to this."

No one was greedy for these few sips of wine and meat. After Zhu Da said that, Li Zhuang exchanged glances with the old manager Li Fu. Although the two of them did not talk, they nodded to them. It seemed that there was a consensus. Li Zhu cleared his throat and said, "Brother Zhu, this is a big business. It is common sense to have a large quantity and low price. What price do you want?"

Business is business. At this time, Li Zhuang was not awkward and bargained directly. Li He and Chang Shen also looked at each other, with shock and excitement on their faces. Of course, they knew the ins and outs of these "one thousand households" and "a few thousand households". They sorted out the ownerless wasteland in Huairen County, recruited poor refugees to resettle, and then sold them to their daily groceries. This young man in his family really made a fortune.

"You should make as much as you should make. Don't make less money from me than elsewhere, but don't make more money from me. If I can make you more money from the return trip, you can give me some more money." Zhu Da said in a deep voice.

His response made Li Zhuang and the old manager Li Fu stunned. After all, they had only had contact with Zhu Da twice. They could think that Zhu Da was a warrior and a rich man, but they could not think that he was such a sophisticated businessman.

Zhu Da gently tapped the table with his hand and continued to ponder: "I still lack a lot of things here. I still want food. I want as much as the food is transported."

"Our caravan is a small business, so we can't transport much food..." The old manager Li Fu hurriedly interrupted.

After saying a few words, Li Zhuang was interrupted. While giving a wink, Li Zhuang smiled and said with a big smile: "Since Brother Zhu speaks, then let's think of a solution."

Food is produced anywhere, and it cannot be said to be a local specialty. It cannot be bought at all if it is not a famine and disaster year. It consumes transportation capacity. Of course, it is unwilling to do grain transportation business. The old manager's reaction is normal, but Li Zhuang's reaction is also correct. He made up his mind to transport goods to Huairen County to Zhu Da. It has been proved that it is right, so he is confident that he will make his second determination.

"The price must be affordable for Brother Zhu. There are no specialties in Huairen County. If there is any good goods to sell, it will be even better." Li Zhuang said with a smile.

Li Zhuang's words have two meanings. One is to do his best to give Zhu Da's profits, and the other is to say that if the return profit is not high or even not profitable, it will not be too much.

Zhu Da nodded, and the other party was very honest. If you cannot buy suitable return goods in Huairen County, you can only collect some unprofitable or slightly lose, or go to other prefectures and county garage offices to purchase other easy-to-sell goods. The former does not make or even slightly loses, and the latter adds extra journeys, you can't make too much money. No one is willing to do business that is not profitable for a long time.

"If there were some specialties outside the Great Wall in the past, but once the Tartars invaded, there would probably be no such thing in the past six or seven months. As for the others, there were those in Huairen County, there were no shortages in other places." Zhu Da said slowly, he did not avoid too much.

Before Zheng Jiaji was destroyed, there was no shortage of specialties on the return journey, but now everything is not available.

"From the business trip, if everything goes well, you can go back to Zhengjiaji." Li Zhuang said with a wry smile. In the past, Zhengjiaji was the place where goods were distributed, and it was often the starting point or midpoint of the business team.

Zhu Da grabbed a piece of mutton and chewed it slowly. He was thinking in his mind that if there were no suitable specialties, would they take the salt from the salt cave back? However, Zhu Da quickly denied this idea. Not everyone can do private salt business. Let the Li family caravan get involved and don’t cause trouble in the end.

"Brother Zhu, don't make things difficult. You can always figure out a solution." Li Zhuang said with a smile.

Zhu Da picked up the wine bowl and greeted him, ran into the other party, and said in a deep voice: "You can't let you do business that is losing money, but you also want to make money."

When everything was planned, it was meaningless to discuss too much. Zhu Da didn't drink much that night, but the guests were very happy. It was not too late to leave the table, but the tired caravan and others went to bed early.

The snow has not stopped. The farmland is very quiet on the snowy night. There is no more movement except for the patrols on duty. Zhu Da asked Chang Shen and Li He to work together. He walked alone in the snow, thinking while walking.

Chang Shen and Li He didn't quite understand why Zhu Da looked heavy. Anyway, he could make money from his own house, and he could send everything he needed, so he still cares about how much the other party earns, and the Li family caravan did not lose money.

What Zhu Da was worried about was that the Li family caravan made too little money. If he always relied on high prices and cash, then his family would lose too much. If he relied on favors, then the other party would lose too much. What Zhu Da wanted to do was a system like Zheng Jiaji and Hebian New Village, a reasonable system that could self-circulate.

However, he is indeed not familiar with Huairen County. Zhu Da is planning to work together tomorrow to see if others can think of what he could not have imagined.

When he was walking in the farm so aimlessly, the snowflakes fell on his body a thick layer, and Zhu Da didn't notice it. When he walked to the residence of the police and his servants, he realized it and then trembled the snow on his body.

The reason why he stopped was because he heard someone chanting in a low voice. Zhu Da immediately heard it was Sun Wu's voice. This was the most reliable place in the farm, so Sun Wu was also imprisoned here.

"...The Three Saints bless you and bless you all..." This low chant made the quiet snowy night quieter.

Zhu Da walked in and wanted to talk to Sun Wu. Now there is no one in the farm to have idle meals, and Zhu Da is not going to raise Sun Wu for too long.
