royal robes

Chapter 1010

Li Hongji and Venerable Bai Lian have already ordered food and wine, but there are only a few cold dishes on the table. The hot dishes will not be served until Taoist Wu Yazi arrives. Because they gave the money in advance, the owner and cook of the inn didn't mind. , anyway, it doesn't look like I can wait for long.

After sitting down, the waiter immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare a table of hot dishes. Because Li Hongji gave some money as a reward, the waiter was particularly attentive.

The dishes in the inn are not as good as those in professional restaurants, but at this time they can't be too demanding, because for Li Hongji and Venerable Bailian, as long as there is food, that's enough.After being hungry for more than half a month, one or two meals cannot make up for it.

The group discussed the route, and after eating, they went back to their rooms to sleep.Everyone has this need, so the meal ended hastily.

Li Hongji and Venerable Bailian were really tired, while Tianya and Xiang'er were really anxious.At night, the young couple of course need a closed and quiet environment to continue their research as adults.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone got up and settled the shop money before embarking on the road to the king's clan.Starting from Changli City in Pingzhou, head towards the southwest. Although Pingzhou is not a big place, there are two cities. In addition to Changli City, there is also a smaller city, just forty miles to the southwest. guest.

Although Bintu City is slightly smaller than Changli City, there were Bintu first and then Changli.The reason why Changli is more prosperous than Bintu is entirely because it is close to the water and land docks, which are important trade ports.

There are not many people running boats now, but shipping is far more convenient, faster and less dangerous than land transport, and it can transport more goods, so wherever there is a dock, there will be a lot of business.

Although Bintu City is small, most of the people living in Bintu City are rich, and most of them are Khitan.Many Han people would go to Changli City to seek a living, because the more Khitan people, the easier it is to cause trouble. After the Song Clan withdrew, the Han people in Youyun Sixteen Prefectures suffered even more.

Fortunately, fortunately, the taste of the Khitan people is still very different from that of the Han people, and the Khitan people think that the Han people do not agree with it.So Khitan seldom harmed Han girls, but this happened, so it was really difficult for Han people to live in Bintu City.

Now the Han people living in Bintu City are almost assimilated by the Khitan, and it is no longer clear who is the Khitan and who is the Han.Therefore, the law and order in Bintu City is far better than that in Changli City. Most of the people living in Bintu City are bosses who let the workers make money in Changli City, but he enjoys himself in Bintu City.

When I came to Bintu City, I felt that everything here seemed so high-end and elegant.

Changli City is a newly built city, most of the buildings are relatively simple, and some houses are even erected with some wooden boards, and then fixed with ropes mixed with soil.

This is not the case in Bintu City at all. All the buildings are in order, the streets are clean, and the pedestrians are calm.It can be seen from the expressions of the people here that they live very comfortably and comfortably.

Every city has its own different mental outlook. The expressions of people in some cities may reveal a state of anxiety, but the expressions of people in other cities are very soothing. This has little to do with the economic prosperity of the city. The most important thing is It's an attitude towards life.

I have seen the expressions in Bintu City all over the world, but I have only seen one city with this state, and that is Chengdu.The living conditions of Chengdu people are so comfortable. There has been no war in more than ten years, and there have been no natural or man-made disasters. It is natural for them to develop this kind of mentality.

In fact, Chengdu has always been a place where wars are rarely fought, and the same is true for Bintu.Khitan soldiers will not come here to fight.Even if troops were sent to go on an expedition to Goryeo, at most they would pass through Bintu, and the war had nothing to do with this special place.

Even if the Central Plains is attacked, they will go to Youzhou first. Once Youzhou breaks through the Central Plains, they will go straight north and will not take a detour to attack the guests. Therefore, there are quite few soldiers here. It is also to prove to others that this city has no fighting power, so that others do not come. attack.

Although Shilidi is not far away, it is not close either.Starting from the morning, it was only at dusk that I barely arrived at Bintu. The first thing I did was of course to find an inn for lodging.

It has been discussed before that this journey must be low-key. It is best to rush to the Wang Clan without any incidents. What will happen after arriving at the Wang Clan can be discussed separately, but it is best not to have any accidents along the way.

The four of them were leading their horses and walking on Bintu Avenue, when they suddenly passed by a Kalang shop, Tian Ya couldn't help but look back.Because this is the store opened by his subordinate Youyun Shibaqi, and I heard that there are branches in various cities in Youyun Sixteen States.

The main business of Kalangpu is grain and oil, but there is a specialty here that is cumin. Khitan people like barbecue. After adding cumin to barbecue, the taste is completely improved several grades. Khitan people must love cumin.

Youyun Shibaqi's brains are not very good. How did they come up with this method of making money?And where does all that cumin come from?
Tian Ya felt a little regretful. He didn't ask in detail after seeing Fourteen yesterday, because he was afraid that Li Hongji and Venerable Bai Lian would see him and reveal his identity.You should really ask, it's no good to think wildly on your own.

In fact, Tianya had thought about this business before, and many years ago, when he accompanied his master to Uighur, he thought of transplanting the cumin here to the Central Plains for planting, and then selling it to Khitan.This is sure to make a fortune.

But Tianya is too rich, and he finds it troublesome, so he has never been prepared to do this. Tianya really didn’t expect that Youyun Shibaqi would do this first, but after all, they are older and pursue a different life. Just like ordinary people, it is appropriate to make a little more money and enjoy it.

A person's ability has a lot to do with knowledge. If they hadn't eaten cumin barbecue, how would they know that there is such a thing, and how would they think of this way to make a fortune?It's no wonder that the ancients said that reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, if you don't go out for a walk, you will be at a loss to stay at home and study.

"Daozhang Wu Yazi, do you want to buy something?"

Seeing Wu Yazi standing still, Li Hongji thought he had something to buy, but this is just a grain and oil store, so he couldn't imagine what Taoist Wu Yazi wanted to buy.

Tian Ya waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I just feel very comfortable seeing this shop, I must buy some cumin when I go back, you have tasted that taste, it's too fragrant to put on barbecue."

"Oh~ so it's sold here." Li Hongji admired: "Khitan people like to eat barbecue. Xiao Wang also heard a little bit about it. He thought that barbecue was not delicious. After eating it, he realized that Khitan people actually added cumin. This kind of thing, no wonder they like to eat it, even I like it."

"That's not the case. I have been to Khitan before, and there is no cumin here. Cumin is a specialty of the Uighurs, and there is no such thing in Khitan at all. Someone should have introduced cumin from the Uighurs in the past year or two and sold it to the Khitans. As long as the Khitans If there is no problem with his tongue, this business will definitely be a huge profit, and it can also establish a good relationship with the Khitan people. They will never dare to provoke a person who owns cumin. If this person has no one, the cumin will be gone. Kalang The shop is an exclusive operation, and apart from this shop, there is no other place that sells cumin seasoning."

"Oh~~~I see, this is really a good business. If everyone in the entire Khitan wants to eat cumin...that will be the most profitable business besides Yandao." Li Hongji admired: "If If Dugufan's shochu is still there, the cumin business will probably rank third. Who could have imagined such a good business?"

Venerable White Lotus said: "The first and second are all the business of Master Zongxin. This No.3...if it's not Master Zongxin himself, I'm afraid it's his disciple Qi Wang Guo Xin. Guo Xin was originally His Highness the Great Zhou Zhou. If he is the backstage boss of the Wolf Shop, the Khitan will have to think carefully before attacking the Great Zhou, and if the cumin is out of stock, it may cause dissatisfaction among the people."

Venerable Bailian's analysis was so good that even Tian Ya himself believed it.If this business is the end of the world, it is really possible to form this situation.For the sake of cumin, Khitan did not dare to attack Dazhou. After all, the Khitan emperor should also want to eat cumin.

The world is like this, there is nothing we can do about it.

Originally, Khitan people would not be unhappy about barbecue, but after they tasted more advanced home-cooked food, they would not be used to the same taste again.Even if this is just a benefit for them, when this benefit disappears, they will cause trouble.

Tianya was originally very interested in Cumin's affairs, but now that he saw the truly valuable interests, he immediately wanted to take over this Kalangpu.And Tianya knew very well that as long as he spoke, Youyun Baqi would immediately nod his head, and there would never be any nonsense or unwillingness.

"It's not bad, it can restrict Khitan's movements. It can also make a lot of money. It would be great if this shop belongs to me..." Tian Ya said excitedly: "It's not a problem, anyway, I'm not interested in money."

Li Hongji and Venerable Bailian were shocked with black lines on their faces, no wonder he was not interested in him.Li Congjia said that Daoist Wu Yazi is very rich, and ten thousand taels of gold is just a drop in the bucket for him. He even counted the five taels of gold he bought them for clothes and horses yesterday... Does this mean that he is not interested in money? ?
Rich people will say that they are not interested in money, handsome people will also say that looks are secondary, and those with power will also say that power is just a fleeting thing.

Now even Li Hongji dare not say that he is not interested in money, how much money does Taoist Wu Yazi have?

Just as he was watching, a sedan came up the street, and judging from its condition, it was a Han Chinese sedan.Sedan sedans are rare in the Central Plains and are only used by women from wealthy families. However, women rarely go out, so there are only a few sedans on the streets a day. I didn't expect such a thing to exist in Khitan territory.

The sedan chair was nothing new, but Tianya and his party paid close attention to this sedan chair, because the two bearers who carried it were very powerful, and their martial arts skills were not low.

There was another reason why Tianya and his group cared about this sedan chair, because this sedan chair stopped directly in front of Kalangpu, followed by a car and a dozen other workers.

These guys were very nimble, and quickly removed a few bags from the car and went directly to the Kalang shop. It seemed that they were all from the Kalang shop, and they were here to load the goods.
