The caravan walked forward, and Han Mo carefully observed and found that there were hundreds of houses of various sizes on the east side of Mingyue Lake, which were continuous, but the construction was orderly and not chaotic. Moreover, these houses were much more exquisite and atmospheric than the tower houses I had seen before, and they looked more spacious. It was obviously a relatively powerful house.,

This place is facing Mingyue Lake in front of it, and behind it is a tall mountain range. The ancient trees on the mountain are lingering green, which can be said to be an excellent place. I suddenly felt that I was afraid that this place is not an ordinary Fengguo, and the people of Fengguo who can live here should be a bit extraordinary.

In addition to the typical style of Chinese-style wooden houses, there are also some brick and tile houses that Han Mo and others are very familiar with. There are large wooden signs in front of the doors of these houses, with the names of the trade banks written on them. Along the way, there are five or six trade banks mixed in, but none of them have the style of the Sihe Courtyard of the relevant trade bank, which further proves the status of the Guan trade bank here.

The trade deal here obviously had already received news of the arrival of the caravan. Five or six men were waiting in front of the door. When they saw the convoy approaching, a middle-aged man in his forties had already led his men to come forward. He was not tall and thin. He had a small beard under his jaw. He had a gentle smile on his face and bowed to Tiekui: "Tiebiao, thank you for your hard work. Brothers have been burdened on the road. The shop has prepared wine and food. Let's move the goods. You can go in and rest first!"

Tiekui turned over and got off the horse and bowed, "Fortunately, I'm not humiliating my fate!"

Everyone was dismounting, and Shen Laosan had already whispered to Han Mo: "This is Yang Lian, the second shopkeeper of the trade bank!"

Han Mo thought at first that he was Guan Mu, but then he realized that he was the second shopkeeper.

When the convoy arrived in front of the trade dealership, Han Mo saw clearly that the main entrance of the trade dealership was connected by three wide houses, each with a counter. There were many types of goods, and the space inside was also very large, which was very different from ordinary houses. There were many people in the shop buying goods. On the door of the store, there was a plaque made of nanmu, with a line of gilded characters written on it, which was "Guan's Trade Trade dealer", with the word "Dragon Snake", which was extremely grand.

"Manager Song, thank you all the way!" Yang Lian walked to Manager Song, with a gentle smile on his face, "Let me order the goods with me first and check it out, I can make a record. This is the old rule, there are some work and some work!"

Manager Song changed his color, and even though his face was strange, the corner of his eyes had already secretly looked at Han Mo in front of him.

This batch of goods was already more than 100 taels of silver. It was not too much to say too much, but he had to come up with a reason to make excuses. Manager Song could not provide a reason at this time.

Han Mo heard it in front of him, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and without looking back, he led Hongxiu, followed Tiekui and others into the room.

Seeing that Manager Song’s face turned pale, Yang Lian frowned, “Manager Song, what’s wrong with you?”

Manager Song came to his senses and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Let's do this. If Manager Song is unwell, then hand over the order to your friend and let them check with me. There is not much left in the warehouse. It's really time for you to come. After checking the accounts, it's easy to put them in the warehouse!" Yang Lian smiled and said, "I'll have a few more drinks with Manager Song!"

Manager Song knew that he couldn't escape this matter, so he took Yang Lian's hand and walked to the side and said, "Brother Yang, you have something to do. You have to take care of me, look back... and talk to me!"

Yang Lian frowned and looked at Manager Song in confusion.

"That... I lost some goods on the way..." Manager Song looked embarrassed, but he didn't know how to continue.

A strange light flashed in Yang Lian's eyes. Of course, he was not a stupid person. Every year, Manager Song came to deliver goods, and there were always one or two times that were missing goods, and he could bring them out. Knight Yang Lian knew exactly what was going on, but it was not up to him, so he didn't expose it. Seeing Manager Song's expression today, he was a little strange, and he just asked, "Did you take the person? Who did it?"

Manager Song broke out in cold sweat on his forehead and said helplessly: "Brother Yang, this matter... this matter is a long story. Go back and ask me for mercy from the shopkeeper and the water agent!"

Yang Lian was even more confused. The shopkeeper naturally refers to Guan Mu, but who is this water agent?

"Manager Song, what's going on with water? " Yang Lian frowned and said, "As far as I know, there is no agency with water in our trading business!"

Manager Song whispered: "Can you see the young man who just followed Tiebiaotou?"

Yang Lian thought for a moment and nodded: "I have never seen you before. Is it a new friend in the shop in Beijing?"

"Where is a guy!" Manager Song showed helplessness on his face, but there was an incomparable resentment in his eyes: "That's the water service, there is a jade plaque on his body!"

Yang Lian narrowed his eyes and shook his head: "I have never seen this person before... which agency is he?"

When Manager Song heard this, he frowned at first, then his eyes flashed with excitement, and he asked carefully: "Brother Yang, have you... really never seen this person? We, Guan's trade business, really don't have such a person?"

Yang Lian shook his head: "Absolutely not!"

"So that's it!" Manager Song began to touch his beard, his eyes turned, and then bowed: "Brother Yang, let's check the goods first, but there are more than 100 taels of silver in the middle. As for the reason, I will report to the shopkeeper in the future!"

When Yang Lian was puzzled, Manager Song had turned around and summoned several of his confidants together, whispering orders.

...

The Siheyuan of Guan's Trade Company covers a large area. There are some flowers, plants and a few green bamboos planted in the yard. It is even more innovatively built a rockery, which looks unique.

There are more than a dozen people in this trading business, all of whom are smart and capable. On the left side of the courtyard are the dormitories and kitchens of the men, and on the right, there are five or six rooms, which are warehouses. According to classification, the goods in each room are different, and there are two rooms that specialize in storing herbal and animal skins purchased by Zifengguo, which are to be transported back to Beijing for sale.

In fact, all Guan's trading banks have two responsibilities at the same time. One is to sell goods, and the other is to acquire local specialties and then transfer them to other trading banks for sale. This marketing model is extremely special. It is not a success in one year or two. Today, although many trading banks operate according to the operating methods of Guan's trading banks, there is no doubt that the best one is naturally Guan's trading banks.

Tie Kui and others came too often, so they were naturally very familiar with the situation here. They led everyone to the courtyard. There were four tables of wine and food in the room. Everyone was familiar with the road and were not polite. Except for Manager Song and his confidants, more than 20 other people sat down. Someone had already picked up the jar of wine and smiled and said, "I've been suffocated all the way. I just wanted to drink a few sips of Cordyceps wine made by Feng Guoren!"

"It's not bad, I started thinking about it halfway!"

"Come on, everyone is full, the journey is smooth, I will have a few glasses of wine to celebrate, and I can drink it today!"

The most fiercer callers were naturally the stadium guards. As martial artists, there were not many people who were not good at drinking, but because of the rules, they could not drink alcohol on the way. Now that they have achieved their merits and have successfully arrived at their destination, they finally burst out with a drink. No one was polite. They ate vegetables for a while and drink with a lot of alcohol.

The dishes on the table are all the same. In addition to all kinds of mountain delicacies and meat, there are also dishes made of flowers and plants unique to Fengguo. Even Hongxiu, who sat next to Han Mo, couldn't help but eat more because the dishes were delicious.

Shen Laosan sat next to Han Mo and drank two glasses of wine. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he then approached Han Mo's ear and whispered: "Water agency, Manager Song and his men got together just now. I don't know what to discuss. You... be careful!"

Shen Laosan now made up his mind to hug Han Mo's thigh. He knew that once Han Mo had an accident and Manager Song would gain power again, he would be the object that Manager Song had to deal with. Whether for Han Mo's safety or for his own future, Shen Laosan felt it necessary to remind Han Mo.

Shen Laosan followed Manager Song for a long time and knew that Manager Song was a person who would be punished for flaws. This time, Han Mo punished him so badly. With Manager Song's character, as long as he seized the opportunity, he would definitely take revenge.

Han Mo smiled faintly and nodded slightly. No matter what, Shen Laosan reminded him that he was kind to him. He picked up the wine bowl and ran into Shen Laosan, "Don't worry, Brother Shen San, you will be the general to block the water and soil, he... is nothing!"

A mere despicable person is really nothing in Han Mo's eyes.

The two drank for a while, and Han Mo asked, "Why didn't you see the big shopkeeper? Isn't he in the shop?"

Shen Laosan hurriedly said, "I just asked, the shopkeeper went out to discuss business and would be back soon."

"Going out to discuss business?" Han Moqi said.

Shen Laosan explained with a smile: "The Water Dealer does not understand the situation here. There are many good things in Fengguo. Some Fengguo people who get precious medicinal materials are unwilling to sell them. Some of them are also covered with bears and tigers. They are also reluctant to take them out. Once the big shopkeeper gets the news, they will come to persuade the acquisition in person. Hehe, in fact, everyone admires the big shopkeeper very much. As the big shopkeeper, as the big shopkeeper, he is the real businessman!"

"So that's it!" Han Mo then realized that although he had not met yet, he felt that Guan Mu was a very good person. He only said that these tables of wine and food could not cost much money, but they could make everyone feel at ease. He felt like he was back home, full of warmth. No wonder Guan's trade deal was so deeply rooted in Fengguo. Guan Mu was really not a simple person.

"By the way, Brother Chen, there is Mingyue Lake in front and the continuous green mountains behind. Such an excellent place, the people who can live here are not ordinary people, right?" Han Mo finally expressed his questions.

Shen Laosan gave a thumbs up, "Water service, you are really amazing. Not bad, this is Tuo Huluo, the master of Yuquan Village, and the people of Tuo Huluo are all nobles of Feng Kingdom!"

Han Mo was stunned. Unexpectedly, the shop of the Guan family trade shop opened to the main house of Yuquan Village. Now, when I think about it, the people who saw Tuhu Luoluo, had neat clothes, and looked much richer than those of Luoluo in the tower.

However, after thinking about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand that Guan's Trade Bank set up the shop here.

Feng Kingdom is poor and the people are not strong. The goods of Guan's trading house are all foreign specialties, so the prices are naturally expensive. Ordinary people are unable to buy them, and only the nobles of Feng Kingdom are able to buy them.

The Feng people obviously like foreign specialties. It is naturally a matter of undesirable to own a trade deal in their own business and be able to buy high-quality foreign goods at any time.

This is equivalent to the fact that the other three countries in the Central Plains, real large commercial banks are all opened in the capital, which is beneficial to both buyers and sellers.

"This is just the Luo people of Tuo Huluo. Go north and then it is the residence of Tuo Huluo officials!" Shen Laosan said: "Tuo Huluo is in the time of glory. The chief of Feng Kingdom is now the chief of Tuo Huluo!"

"Chief?" A light flashed through Han Mo's eyes.

Shen Laosan lowered his voice and said, "I heard from them that the chief of the Feng Kingdom was taken turns by the chief of the eight masters, each family for three years..."

When Han Mo heard this, he immediately thought of a classic line. The emperor took turns to do it. He will come to my house next year. In Fengguo, he will have to change to the chief in turn and arrive at my house in three years!

He always thought that the rulers of the feudal era were all hereditary, but he did not expect that the chief of Feng Kingdom was not hereditary, but was taken in turn by the eight great masters!

However, it rotates every three years, but I don’t know if Luo Chang is lost when he gets from the position of chief? It is necessary to know that such rotation requires twenty-four years to get back to power, and how many twenty-four years can you have in your life.

Han Mo felt more and more that people said that the country of Feng was mysterious and bizarre, but now it seems that it is true.

Just as I was about to ask more, I saw Tie Kui walking slowly over with a wine bowl. He arrived next to Han Mo, holding the wine bowl in both hands, and the expression on his face was very serious: "No matter what, you are a man, Tie toast you with a glass!"

Han Mo smiled slightly, picked up the wine bowl, and the two of them touched each other gently and drank it all in one go.

How could Han Mo not know what Tie Kui meant?

He understood that Tie Kui must have known a lot about the things that happened on the road. He had dealt with Manager Song, and he made an angry blow to the caravans and got back the exploited money. He also slaughtered Yi Lianlie in the middle of the night to rescue the red-headed man. In Tie Kui's eyes, these things were obviously done by a man. Although Tie Kui almost felt a little dissatisfied with this causing trouble to the caravan, he still admired these two things very much.

After drinking a bowl of wine, Tiekui didn't say much, just nodded and returned to his position.

At this time, there was a sound in the yard. Through the window, Han Mo saw that Guan Mu's servants and several subordinates of Manager Song were transporting goods into the yard. Those under Manager Song were actually very diligent.
