After such a long period of plateau life, Shi Lei could not wait to go back. The difficulty of leaving his hometown has always been the complex of people in the Central Plains, because there is his own roots, people, things and land he is familiar with, which is the place where the heart belongs, and the place where the soul rests.

For Shi Lei, Shijiazhuangzi had another extra meaning. This is the only place where he can truly feel that he is a living person, and other places will make him feel more like living in a virtual world.

Even after traveling through time for so long, Shi Lei still often feels like Nan Ke’s dream, but he is increasingly unable to tell whether it was a dream in his previous life or now.

After being out for so long, Shi Lei has already started to miss the hearty smiles of the simple farmers in his own village, and the taste of the delicious food in his village.

On the plateau, due to environmental problems, the way to deal with food is nothing more than roasting and air-drying. It is not realistic to cook or stir-fry.

More importantly, the guards also have barbecue to eat, and they can eat some wild vegetables occasionally.

But Shi Lei was in trouble. In such a long period of plateau life, Shi Lei could rely on almost all those marching dry foods and could eat some fruits and vegetables. It was like the New Year.

Being able to persevere until now shows how tough Shi Lei is.

I can only say that people are still not forced to do that. If they don’t eat, they will go hungry. No matter what method they change, they will be like a thinly soaked compressed dry food. Shi Lei also stuffed them into his stomach again and again.

It is conceivable that in this case, Shi Lei wanted to return to the heartland of the Central Plains more than anyone else.

Even if the place I live in is not warm enough and I wear a simple dress, at least my belly doesn’t have to endure the familiarity and disgusting smell.

Even if you come to the simplest material, Shi Lei can be so happy that he has snot bubbles.

Shi Lei didn't think about going back early, not caring about the goods, not considering the promotion of tea and silk.

The cattle and horses obtained by only the battle can be described.

But I have to open the trade route I proposed with tears in my heart.

Giving up halfway through doing things is never Shi Lei’s style.

Even Shi Lei, who was not famous for his past life, had enough persistence to accomplish what he had made up his mind to do.

Whether it is learning sign language, practicing braille later, and his tireless pursuit of cooking.

Shi Lei is a person who keeps his promises, and he doesn't make promises easily, but he must do his best to do what he wants to do, even if this is just a promise to him.

What's more, opening up the trade route, which is related to the many merchants and the prospect of a better life, has been his unshirkable responsibility since the day he took on the burden of the head of the family.

Therefore, since he said it, he had to finish it without hesitation. It was just that the food was almost done and it could not be a reason for him to retreat.

After a satisfied glance, Shi Lei was full of pride in the long team behind him for the gains of this trip to Tubo.

What I paid was only some silk, spirits purchased from the local area, as well as homemade porcelain and tea, and the price of minor injuries to more than a dozen people.

What I exchanged for is like many valuable goods, and there is also a caravan that can be regarded as unimpeded in a short period of time.

Shi Lei's persistence can be said to be very meaningful and the rewards are too generous.

Just by starting to kill the horse thief, I got so many cattle and horses, as well as various valuable seizures.

These gains alone are several times more than Shi Lei's expected returns, and are also several times more than the total profits of the entire farm.

When you go to Kangyanchuan, the journey to the East Girl King City, you can even describe the fruitfulness of your harvest.

The extra cows and horses have become the least worth mentioning, and they are not as heavy as those 20 Tibetan mastiffs in Shi Lei's mind.

Tea has been traded with the Dongwo Kingdom official. Although it has given up some benefits, it has also opened up a new market.

I believe that when I come back next time, this vast new market that opens the door to my home will inevitably bring several times the profit this time.

The other goods and things that are exchanged for are simply shipped to Yizhou, or a little more wasteful work, and you will get back a hundred times the reward of investment.

In this case, how could Shi Lei not be proud of his wise decision-making?

On the way back, it was calm. Even though he knew that Shi Lei and the others were carrying a lot of valuable goods, no one was looking for trouble again.

The group of horse thieves who asked Shi Lei to take the initiative to release the wind to kill was the most fierce group on the entire plateau, and of course it also means that they were the group with the most spoils.

After such a leading force is completely destroyed, there will definitely be many inferior forces who will compete for the vacuum area left behind. The benefits involved are too great to allow these guys to be unmoved.

It is indispensable. In recent times, these guys are destined to be in a state of being biting a dog and having a hairy mouth.

When their human brains become dog brains, they really decide the winner and lose. After re-dividing the territory, the next wave of caravans in Shi Lei's family should go home.

Besides, since we have seen the powerful force of the Shi Lei family, the next wave of horse thieves who are in power will definitely not be able to get the pole to give Shi Lei and the others the heads and spoils.

In general, it is necessary that this battle brings out its own prestige.

Both face and inside are affordable, and Shi Lei's prestige has also been enhanced. It can be said that he has won multiple goals in one fell swoop.

According to usual habits, the scouts had to let them go fifty miles along the way. No matter what happens, they can't hide these more capable guys, so Shi Lei has the leisure to run the train.

Taking advantage of this time, Shi Lei began to reflect on the gains and losses during this period.

In theory, with the profits of Yizhou and the current hematopoietic ability in the village, it is not an exaggeration to say that the lives of the merchants have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Today's small days are definitely a beauty that many people can't imagine.

Shi Lei has fulfilled his initial promise and led the merchants to live a happy life.

At the same time, this is also a big step in Shi Lei's transformation around him, allowing Shi Lei to better integrate into this world and feel the meaning of his existence.

The surrounding merchants are no longer virtual characters, but living lives.

This trip to Tubo was Shi Lei bravely taking the first step in exploring this world. If he wanted to better integrate into the world of the Tang Dynasty, he had to have more understanding of this world and feel more reality.

Of course, the biggest goal is to make more money. This time it is not only for the merchants, but also for him to accumulate more money.

Don’t forget that his future mother is Cheng Yaojin. Although she always looks careless, she is a real Duke, with a high position and a wealthy family.

Shi Lei had no intention of making a fuss, but instead wanted to use this time to make a fortune that was no less than the other party.

In this way, when standing in front of your mother, you can have more confidence and earn more face for your wife you have already recognized.

As a man, if he cannot let his wife be glorious when he gets married, Shi Lei will feel that he is very failed.

During the period of time with Cheng Chuyue, Shi Lei really fell in love with this straightforward girl.

She is also a rare person that Shi Lei truly recognized when he spent a short time together. After a long time with the merchants, she regarded them as living people.

And in her, Shi Lei really found a kind of warmth of home, the kind of person Shi Lei decided to accompany her for the rest of her life.

Well, of course, especially after measuring his wife's huge canteen with both hands, Shi Lei, as a loyal fan, fell completely.

For such a broad-minded daughter-in-law, Shi Lei had to come up with a generous betrothal gift.

It has to be generous so that the women in Chang'an City must bring a generous gift to their daughter-in-law to bring this face to their daughter-in-law when they chat after dinner.

Anyway, Shi Lei plans to marry such a wife and spend most of his wealth, which is not a problem. He just keeps making money in the future.

To achieve this goal, the prerequisite is to have several profitable business paths. Otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve this goal with your originally poor family background in just three years.

Shi Lei, who has been a single for two lifetimes, worked hard for the wife he identified, and he spared no effort.

As for men, the motivation for struggle is either for their family or for women. Shi Lei is considered to have both, so his motivation is naturally great. To be continued.
