Starting from shooting the eagles and crossing the heavens

Chapter 48 Caravan Departure
but!But!
But but!But Li Mochou didn't stage a full martial arts show!

She didn't even move, just looked at the two of them for a while, then looked away, as if the two were completely unrelated strangers.

"Why are you standing so far away?"

Li Mochou turned around and found that Ren Yi was a little far away from her, so she said immediately.

"No, why didn't you respond?"

Ren Yi moved up with a dazed expression on his face.

What is going on here?
Shouldn't you rush up and kill the Quartet?
That's Lu Zhanyuan by the South Lake in Jiaxing!
But what the hell is that "happy to hear and see" look on your face?

"What's your reaction? Didn't you tell me to use a knife earlier? What do you think of the pair of short knives in front of the blacksmith's shop?"

Li Mochou was asked inexplicably, then pointed to the blacksmith's shop next to the arch bridge and said.

"Knife? What knife?"

Ren Yi looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, he saw two short knives about one foot long.

He was instantly embarrassed, and quickly changed his words: "Oh, you said that, as long as you like it. Let's go and buy a knife."

Nima, almost made a big oolong!
Ren Yi was very guilty, and the whole process of buying a knife was very perfunctory.

Ask for a price, pay, and walk away!

That is to say, Li Mochou was not familiar with the process of buying things, otherwise she would definitely have discovered Ren Yi's anomaly.

The two left the blacksmith shop and walked onto the arch bridge.

When passing by the pair of dogs and men just now, Ren Yi wished he could kick them into the river.

In front of a large crowd, under the watchful eyes of everyone, actually showing affection?

What show?Don't you know that Xiu Enai dies quickly?

Really, almost let me
Awkward!So embarrassing!
However, after this incident, Ren Yi also understood some truths:
The person riding the white horse is not necessarily a prince, but may be Tang Seng;

Those with wings are not necessarily angels, they may also be birdmen!
A man with a fierce face is not necessarily a bad man, he may have a good heart;

Those with gentle faces are not necessarily good people, they may also be scum!
On the third day, before dawn, Ren Yi and Li Mochou arrived outside the west gate of Dali City.

I saw that this place is already full of people, shoulder to shoulder, very lively.

From time to time, people can be seen loading the mules next to them, and taking one away after loading.

At this time, there are already hundreds of mules and horses full of goods in the distance, and there are hundreds of mules and horses nearby.

These personnel, mules and horses were divided into eight large and small areas, which means that there were eight caravans entering Tibet this time.

It was the largest of the eight caravans that Ren Yi and the two joined, the Zhu's Caravan!

Zhu's caravan has a deep background, and it is said that it is the same family as the Zhu family of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Dali.

With this relationship, the Zhu's caravan has strong funds, and it brings the most goods every time it enters Tibet, and of course it makes the most profits.

Moreover, Zhu's caravan has a good reputation. As the leader of the chamber of commerce, he coordinates all caravans, advances and retreats together, and shares adversity, so as to ensure that everyone travels safely and returns safely!

The noise at the gate of the city lasted until the sky was bright, and then a loud gong sounded, and the caravan set off.

All mules and horses are used to load goods and food, and people can only go on foot.

There are no idlers in the caravan, except for the stewards of the caravans and the guards with strong martial arts, the other two strong men are in charge of a mule and horse.

Ren Yi got together with a black, thin and strong uncle.

The uncle's surname is Qin, and others call him Lao Qin, and Ren Yi also calls him that.

Lao Qin is very talkative, talking non-stop with his mouth open.

Ren Yi didn't feel disgusted, but felt kind and listened very carefully.

Because Lao Qin is passing on his valuable experience of walking the Hengduan Mountains for many years.

Just to let him, who is new to the industry, know more about his future itinerary, so that he can have more hope of living!
The business route from Dali to Tibet was called the "Ancient Tea Horse Road" in later generations.

The tea-horse trade originated in the ancient southwestern region, flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties, flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and played an important role even in the middle and late stages of the Anti-Japanese War.

The altitude in the alpine region of Qinghai-Tibet is usually above 4000 meters. The local Tibetans have the habit of drinking butter tea, but in the snowy area, tea is extremely scarce;
In the Central Plains, a large number of mules and horses are needed for civil life and war, and the supply is also in short supply.

As a result, the complementary "tea-horse market" came into being.

Tea from all over the Central Plains gathers in Dali Pu'er (named in the Yuan Dynasty, don't spray it), and then passes through Dali, Lijiang, Zhongdian (Shangri-La), Deqin, to Mangkang on the plateau, and then to Lhasa.

Of course, you can also go to farther places, such as Nepal, India and so on.

But those belong to international trade, and there will be businessmen who specialize in international trade, just like the Silk Road on the road and the Silk Road on the sea.

As for China World Trade Center, Ren Yi's current employer is also doing it, but it's not their team.

That is another wave of teams, they specialize in the line from Lhasa to foreign countries.

Ren Yi and his team were only responsible for the journey from Dali to Lhasa. The mules were full of sun-dried tea leaves. After arriving in Lhasa, they were replaced with horses, and then resold to the Central Plains when they came back.

After each trip, the profit is often several times, even ten times!
But with high returns comes high risks!

Not to mention the casualties when encountering bandits and horse bandits, just one road is difficult, falling off the cliff, leaving no bones, it happens every time you go down!
When Ren Yi and Ren Yi entered the job, they also signed the life and death certificate.

It is clear that if you die on the way, the family will receive a lot of compensation!
Although Ren Yi prides himself on his martial arts skills and doesn't pay attention to the difficulties and obstacles on the road, it is good to know more about it.

What's more, Lao Qin earnestly taught and spared no effort, Ren Yi listened very seriously, and put forward his own opinions from time to time, which made Lao Qin's eyes shine.

The two of them, one dedicated to teaching and the other serious to learning, chatted for more than an hour.

After talking for so long, Lao Qin also felt a little parched. He took out a cowhide wine bag from his body, took a small sip carefully, then carefully closed the lid, and solemnly put it back in his arms.

"Old Qin, why don't you just take a sip after talking about it for a long time? You've just set off now, and there's still plenty of wine."

Seeing his stingy look, Ren Yi opened his mouth and said.

"Mingwazi, have you forgotten what I just told you! This is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go. This wine is very precious, and it can save lives at critical moments! Although there are supplies on the road, it is still There must be a restraint, save as much as you can. Unforeseen circumstances, who knows what will happen in the next moment"

Old Qin's face was serious, his eyes glared, and he began to preach to Ren Yi.

"Okay, okay, you're right, boy, I must pay attention to it. By the way, Lao Qin, I heard from Wang Mazi that he saw you in Tianxiang Tower last night. You can do it, Lao Qin. A sword never grows old, but grows stronger when it grows! A pear blossom. "

Ren Yi looked obedient and educated, but what he said almost didn't make Lao Qin choke to death.

"Cough, cough, you little bastard, you didn't learn well! Don't be with that bastard Wang Mazi all day long, don't let you be spoiled"

"Okay, I'll listen to you, then how are you and Narcissus girl, are you both talented in color and art, with a charming voice?"

"If you want to talk about this Narcissus girl, she has such a handsome face, such a white body, and a voice. You bastard, stop for me!"
