Zhu Da felt that Qin Xiucai's words were nothing wrong. Although this proposal seemed sudden, it was indeed very beneficial to both parties from the perspective of interests and the long-term, and he also repaid the kindness of saving his daughter.

Zhu Da actually thought about these words, but there was no other choice at that time. Of course, he understood that the situation in Baibao Village was too small, and he also understood that Xiang Bo could not teach much, but under that condition, he could only work hard to be self-reliant. If he followed Qin Xiucai and in this prosperous world where all directions converged, he could learn skills and gain knowledge, which would be of great benefit to his family.

"Mr. Qin is a bet. If I fail Mr. Qin's expectations, wouldn't it be..."

"If you have a bet, you won't lose, let alone your words and deeds are not considered a bet. It's just a favor."

Once the words are spoken, there is no shyness between each other.

Zhu Da hesitated for a moment, clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Thank you Mr. Qin for your kindness, but I can't make the decision in this matter. I have to go back and ask my parents first, and the master also needs to agree to it, so that I can reply to Mr. Qin."

After he said this, Qin Xiucai nodded and said, "Of course this is the case. If you worship me as your adoptive father, you will have to be here at the Zheng family day and night, otherwise you will not be able to learn the skills."

Zhu Da did not follow the other party's words and continued to answer solemnly: "Mr. Qin, I have parents to be filial to me in Baibao Village and my master to teach my skills. It's not time to make a decision."

This humble and arrogant answer made Qin Chuan smile, and she smiled happily. Xiang Bo's face, which had always been indifferent, finally felt a little relieved. Zhu Da suddenly noticed that after answering this sentence, a trace of complexity on Qin Xiucai's face disappeared, leaving only pure happiness.

"Okay, filial piety is a great festival. If I don't stop you, then I will wait for your parents' answer. I will wait for you for ten days. If I agree, I will come to the door within ten days. If I don't come to the door, everything will be over." Qin Xiucai settled on this matter.

Zhu Da suddenly realized that the test was completed. If he agreed without caring about it just now, he was afraid that the other party might not be willing to accept it, or he might not be treated well after accepting it. Qin Xiucai might still be examining whether he was cold-hearted or not.

After this incident, the atmosphere in the room became much more relaxed, or Qin Xiucai and Xiang Bo were relaxed. Qin Xiucai accepted Zhu Da as his adopted son was an important matter today. For this, Qin Chuan not only communicated with Xiang Bo, but also called Xu San Ge to verify Zhu Da's martial arts. He chatted easily and casually, but in fact, every step was not vague.

Zhu Da was thinking now that why he didn't mention Zhou Qingyun. He saved people and killed thieves together and could not just stare at himself. He then realized that Qin Xiucai didn't need to repay Zhou Qingyun alone. If Xiang Bo repaid, he would naturally not treat Zhou Qingyun badly.

"Brother Xiang, this time the bandits were in chaos, Baibao Village was the most disciplined and did not suffer any harm. Brother Xiang even reported the important news about the bandits' nest. This was a great contribution to our salt store. Xiama Village was not in good luck. The merchants in Lijia Village escaped at the last minute. Not only did the people run away, but they also sold salt goods on credit at a low price. Now people dare not come back, and the goods have not been explained. As for the merchants in Yunshan Village, they dare not do it, saying that they are too old and want their son to take over. I really don't know what he thought about it. They thought that this merchants were a family business passed down from generation to generation."

When Qin Xiucai said this, his expression became serious, and he was very clear in public and private affairs. Xiama Village, Lijia Village, and Yunshan Village are all around Baibao Village, with a distance of from a distance, and the farthest is only a dozen miles away.

"Brother Xiang, I will hand over the salt goods from these four villages to you. If you can carry them alone, you will do them alone. If you can't bear them alone, you will get them alone. If you can't bear them alone, the merchants from the other three villages will get you the goods."

This suddenly expanded Xiang Bo's business scale by four times. With the Qin Xiucai line, there must be other conveniences to get goods and ship them. The benefits of getting them are probably more than this number.

"Thank you for your care, Mr. Qin, the old man can do it alone." Xiang Bo stood up and thanked him.

Qin Xiucai waved his hand and said, "Brother Xiang is too polite. Compared to the kindness of Brother Xiang and his disciples in saving their daughters, these are nothing. In the future, our salt store will not only do salt business, but also buy and sell grain, groceries and even livestock. At that time, these places will be distributed to Brother Xiang."

The meaning in the words is similar to Zhu Da's judgment. After building a network from top to bottom, Shengping Salt Stack is definitely not satisfied with only operating private salt. In this way, Xiang Bo's advantage of mastering these four villages is even greater than that in his judgment.

At this moment, someone outside shouted, "Master, when people are coming, everything is ready."

Qin Xiucai smiled and stood up and said, "Since you are here, Qin is still waiting for your reply to come back, so I won't leave it for now. I'll send three of you out."

Zhu Da was very surprised, but he stood up with Xiang Bo and said goodbye very quickly. Zhou Qingyun was busy and muttered, "Brother Xiang, eating and drinking in this house is fine, but it's too boring. It's so lively outside, let's take a walk before leaving!"

"You are here to visit." Xiang Bo said ambiguously.

The three of them cleaned up and left the house. The Qin family’s father and daughter were waiting in the yard. When they saw someone coming out, Qin Qin muttered, “Brother Zhu, I still want to go to your house to drink fish soup.”

Zhu Da agreed with a smile, and the few people left the yard together. He thought he would say goodbye after going out, but he never thought there was a ox cart parked outside the door, and a salt stack guard was holding a horse waiting aside, and the ox cart was full of things.

Qin Xiucai pointed to the ox cart and said, "I finally came out once and I have to bring some things back. Qin bought some randomly, so please don't make a joke to brother."

This is really not a random purchase. You can see rice, flour, cloth, and half a sheep on the car. It is easy to clean up, as well as more than a dozen live chickens and ducks, and some daily necessities, such as iron pots and bamboo baskets. It can be seen that you are careful when buying these things. They are all purchased according to the actual situation in the village. You don’t do it randomly. If you really want jewelry, silk, etc., it is useless. After you go back, you can use them immediately at home and improve your life.

Qin Xiucai walked closer, handed a small cloth bag to Xiang Bo, lowered his voice and said, "This is ten taels of silver, and there are fifteen stans of copper coins in the bamboo basket on the car. Brother Xiang is careful on the way, don't show off his white hair."

Twenty taels of silver are not small. Except for big towns like the provincial capital, there is no shortage of goods everywhere, but the currency is short of money, and there is not much silver or copper coins. Many wealthy families in the countryside may not be able to produce this amount.

Although Qin Xiucai did not mention the details of the Salt Stage, Zhu Da had a rough idea in his mind. Judging from the style and cost of Qin Xiucai and Xu San Ge, he also knew that although the Salt Stage was rich, he could not be said to be rich and powerful. It would be a real thank you to him if you could take out these things.

However, based on Zhu Da’s understanding of Xiang Bo, his master may refuse. He is not used to benefiting others. Moreover, Xiang Bo also thinks that if he encounters saving someone, he should reach out and not feel any kind of kindness.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Bo accepted the cloth bag very generously and put it directly into his arms. Looking at Qin Xiucai's expression, he seemed to be preparing to push Xiang Bo for several rounds. He was a little stunned by the other party. Just as he was about to smile, Xiang Bo spoke first: "Old man, you are welcome. The money and goods are mine, and the Zhu brothers are the deposit we sell our apprentices and sons."

Qin Xiucai was stunned and smiled awkwardly. Zhu Da, who had been following this place, couldn't bear to laugh, covering his mouth and not laughing out loud.

The ox cart and the escort knights came, so Xiang Bo did not take the people to visit Zhengjiaji. After saying goodbye, he left. He got up early and chatted for a short time. He guessed that he would be able to go to Baibao Village when it was dark. The ox cart was not just about picking up goods, but he didn't want to leave, so he could also go up and take a seat.

Whether it is the handlebar type of the ox cart or the salt stack guard riding a horse, they are very polite, which makes them have a new understanding of Qin Xiucai's status and power in Shengping Salt Stack.

After leaving Zheng Family, I took out a pole in the handlebar and tied it to the shaft. There was a flag on the pole with the word "flat" written on it, "This is the flag recognized by the salt bank. Even if the officials and those in the martial arts world see it, they will not move." Xiang Bo explained.

Everyone talked very little along the way. Zhou Qingyun was very curious about the ox cart and the knight, while Zhu Da and Xiang Bo were sitting there depressedly.

The ox cart looks slow, but in fact it is much faster than the humans. Soon it arrives at the pontoon bridge. It is indeed convenient to have the flag and you can actually go to the line. There is no objection to the few big cars in front.

Xiang Bo and the other two walked across the river first. After reaching the other side, Xiang Bo looked at the river and said, "I didn't care much when I saw you. Later, I saw you crying on the roadside. I knew that you were not a peaceful farming place. There were many restless people, and there were no good endings."

While speaking, he avoided the pedestrians and said in a muffled voice: "You are different. You have the ability and knowledge. If you do this, you will either enjoy happiness, suffer misfortune or suffer a great disaster."

Zhu Da didn't know how to interfere, so he just listened silently there.

"The old man has no ability. He has only been on the battlefield and experienced life and death. He has heard people talk about making a living and knowing the style of the army. What's the use of these even if you learn them? Are you willing to be a hunter? A private salt dealer? You can only do these things. If you want to join the army and gain wealth, you don't even think about it."

Zhu Da could understand this, Xiang Bo often mentioned it, and he also talked to the escort knights of the Salt Stage. Now that the Ming army wants to have a future, the most important thing is its origin. It is not a family of more than a hundred families. No matter how you have the courage to be inappropriate, or the plan to rebirth of Kong Ming is useless.

"The old man thought you wanted to be a guard servant, but these days you can see that you are unwilling to give up. If you want to be a master, you want to be rich and honor. If you want these, the old man can't teach you, but Qin Xiu can teach you more than the old man can."

"Master, disciple..."
