"Uncle, you are back." Shi Lei stepped forward excitedly and hugged the dusty butler uncle.

He, the hunter and the blacksmith, all of them changed their surnames to Shi according to their father's surname. They were a real family. Shi Lei really couldn't call these three uncles well, so he had to scream like this.

"How is it? It's going smoothly along the way? Everyone is back safely, right?" Shi Lei asked impatiently.

He was not in a hurry to check the gains of this trip. He was carefully checking the situation of everyone in the caravan. This trip took him a whole month, but Shi Lei was worried about it.

Uncle Butler and everyone in the caravan were moved by Shi Lei's approach of caring for them first. A head of the family who knows how to care about everyone is always very warm.

"You are in a fight? Why are the Hunter Uncle and the others missing?" Shi Lei asked a little nervously. Out of trust in the Hunter Uncle and the others, Shi Lei did not think there was a high possibility that they would sacrifice.

"It's okay, the journey is quite smooth. But on the way back, I dealt with a few little thieves who were not open, and they were all vulnerable mobs.

The old hunter brought some guards to clean up the front and bottom, mainly to prevent the remaining thieves from following. We don’t even have any injured people here.

Oh, no, except for Old Man Yan was shot in the butt, hahaha." After the butler said that, he started laughing first.

"Hahaha, Old Man Yan, if I hadn't killed that thief first, your butt would have bloomed now, and maybe even that job would have been skewed into meat skewers.

Your family is just a single seedling. I see how you will mess with your house when you come back." A rough voice shouted with a loud laugh.

"Old Chen, you are a bastard. I didn't dodge the ball because I saw you chopping the thief. Who told you to chop him alive? The thief still has the strength to stab me and my family.

If you talk nonsense, I won’t let the people in the house go to your house to chat with you.” The old army surnamed Yan seemed to have been poked into the pain, and yelled at the guy who exposed his shortcomings.

"Go and go, you are not ashamed. If your brother saves you, you will be turned down." Old Jun surnamed Chen muttered, and didn't say anything more. It seems that this person is a wife who is strict with him. As soon as he moves out his wife, he immediately becomes silent.

"Old Chen, you coward. When you mention your wife, you don't dare to give up any of them. You're brave enough to live as a dog." Other old soldiers are really not afraid of big things when watching the fun. They are making fun of these two guys.

Shi Lei looked at the old soldiers with a smile on his face and didn't stop him.

"Okay, you guys, hurry home with your own things. What are your wives and children looking forward to? Don't talk about it here."

Seeing the hunter uncle and other guards behind the back, they came over calmly and signaled that there was no problem, the butler interrupted everyone and directly disbanded the team.

After all, these people have been eating military food all their lives and are used to following orders. They will not run home casually without receiving the order to disband, even if they are all in a hurry.

Moreover, the team that broke the rear did not come back, so they were still habitually keeping alert. Even when they were teasing each other, their hands were always placed in the position that was most suitable for weapons acquisition, and their respective positions were based on the defensive battle formation.

The old soldiers who have fought old wars have become their instincts.

After hearing the uncle's words from the housekeeper, the old soldiers coaxed and dispersed, and each hurried home with the harvest. They must have cleared the goods and the harvests of each family, so there is no need to divide them at this time.

Of course, as usual, except for the part that was originally Shi Lei, there will be a considerable portion of Shi Lei's income in each company.

"Let's go, let's talk about the specific situation when we go home. The harvest this trip is indeed quite good." The butler was still in full swing. After saying that, he walked towards the cottage.

The hunter uncle still followed in silence, behind him was a three-stone strong bow. The high mountains and dense forests here are not suitable for the performance of too powerful crossbows.

With the obstruction of a tree, the distance is too far, so the strength is not that strong, but the three-stone strong bow that can attack faster becomes a better choice.

"Tell me quickly, what are your gains in this trip?" Shi Lei asked impatiently as soon as he returned to the thatched cottage.

This caravan trip is a major event that concerns everyone's future life prospects. Shi Lei is eager to know whether these ideas he came up with work.

"Butler and old hunter, I heard you are back, tell me what's going on?" As soon as Shi Lei finished speaking, the blacksmith's voice that no one could reach came before his people. Soon the blacksmith also sat next to Shi Lei.

"This trip to Yizhou was quite smooth, and there were no people who were not open to provoke him when they went there. When they came back, some guys really couldn't help jumping out. Now these people who were not open to their eyes were caught in a cold.

The main reason is that the profits of this trip are indeed quite large, which makes several thieves jealous." The butler did not hide his complacent feelings.

"The things shipped here were not only sold, but also sold at a good price. Especially the things Shi Tou mentioned were sold at sky-high prices.

Thanks to our arrival, we came into contact with some luxury merchants from Chang'an. They are more optimistic about the prospects of several new things. One or two stores have one thing in total, so our things can be sold at such a good price."

The butler seems to be very excited. Usually, he usually calls Shi Lei "Dalang" more concisely. Only when he is particularly happy will he call the nickname "Shitou".

"All kinds of furniture, etc., everyone looks for a novel style, and the price is slightly more expensive than the common ones in the world. However, the toys painted by stone have been sold to wealthy families, and the price is higher.

The rattan products we make ourselves look more simple because of the extra process of brushing tung oil, and the price is naturally not bad.

Among bamboo things, common things are not as expensive as the price, but those bamboo carvings don’t have to worry about sales.

Of course, the most highly respected bamboo silk fan made by Lao Gong and others. It was packed by a large merchant from Chang'an, and other merchants also bid many times. A bamboo silk fan was sold at a sky-high price of dozens or hundreds of cents. The main reason is that our craftsmanship is there, and the fan surface is like silk, which is made of silk, and others can't make it even if they want to.

Several types of mountain goods also have no worries about sales. The mountain goods we produce are of high quality and high prices. Especially the objects on rhinos and tigers are the most rare things in large families, and have been bid farewelled by several powerful big merchants.

Those prepared medicinal materials are also popular. Dendrobium officinale, known as the immortal herb, were also wrapped up by those guys from Chang'an.

However, the most expensive one is Wailang Inkstone. I didn’t expect that these stones could be sold so expensive after being carved. Those few fine pieces alone sold nearly a thousand stalks.

It is very likely that the price of these stones made the thieves jealous, and the attacks encountered on the return journey were caused." The butler happily explained the situation of the past.

"Ye, this is the bill for this time. You can take a look." The housekeeper said, handing Shi Lei a detailed list of income and expenditures.

Shi Lei first took a closer look at the total income this time. Although he had already had so much experience in reaping gold, the gold that the uncle and the others took away was worth hundreds of cents, but the income this time still made Shi Lei very excited, and the profit was more than ten times the cost!

The real value of this trip was that the gross profit of several thousand chunks of yuan was entered by Shi Lei and many merchants. At this rate of money making, it would take less than a year to make a fortune.

Before, he had indeed entered a dead end, holding a treasure mountain without knowing it. He sincerely thanked him in his heart. After his father in this world's foresight, Shi Lei carefully studied various things and how they were earned.

After all, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to go on a trip. Shi Lei wants to find a better solution and try to maximize the income of each caravan.

"The income this time is really great. You, Uncle Butler, have suffered. It seems that we will continue to expand the scale of the caravan in the future." Shi Lei affirmed everyone's achievements first.

"In addition, I think we will focus on a few of the most profitable business in the future. For example, bamboo carvings, bamboo silk fans, and inkstones, these are still allowed to be taken by our own merchants. It can be seen that their craftsmanship is much higher than ordinary craftsmen, and they have to rely on them to gain a reputation.

As for furniture and other things, I think you can just open a shop in Yizhou and recruit local craftsmen to make them, and use the materials there.

The manpower and transportation capacity saved in this way can be invested more in these high added value, that is, more profitable things."

The greatest significance of this time is actually here, which allows everyone to see what has more development prospects. If you adjust the development direction, Shi Lei will definitely make the decision. Even the butler may have seen this a long time ago.

"Well, I feel that way, so before I came back, I left all the selected shopkeeper and the young people who were suitable for being friends in Yizhou.

Now the store should be ready. The caravan will be able to open the store after bringing enough of our unique tight goods." The housekeeper has indeed prepared a long time ago, just waiting for Shi Lei's approval.

"I also left some money for them on my own initiative, and all of them were explained. I changed the rest to red freight and returned.

Although Yizhou has a Jiaozi, a thin piece of paper is not as reassuring as these red goods.

The ghost weather here is so bad that we can’t save it even if we take it back.” The butler added.

"The butler really wants to be ahead." Shi Lei smiled and praised the uncle, which was sincere.

It is a blessing for me to have such a housekeeper. He is capable and sincere, and he is also a master. It is simply perfect.
