"But we, the Li Escort Company, do business through Yanmen and Taiyuan. Businessmen pay attention to harmony and make money. Although they are not afraid of fighting and killing, they are still friendly with you. If we win the first world war, even if our brothers are damaged, everyone in the Escort Company will have to take care of their filial piety, their daughter-in-law and their children. Just settling down will cost a lot of money."

Chai Baochang saw that Li Chongjiu said that his face was slow for a few minutes.
Listening to Li Chongjiu’s continued speech, "General Suochai, do you think we can discuss whether we can pay a sum of money to buy a road?"
"How much is the fare?" Chai Baochang when asked.
Li Chongjiu smiled and held out two fingers and simply said, "Twenty thousand dollars!"
Chai Baochang spat a flew into a rage and said, "It’s impossible for our brothers to come from afar to give twenty thousand dollars. Who are you sending?" I think your dart is worth a lot of money, at least 200 thousand! Otherwise the sword meets the soldier. "
When I heard this, Li Chongjiu’s face was motionless, but his heart was laughing internally. This time, the value of the escort goods guaranteed by the Li family escort agency was almost two or three million yuan. If you go back and forth to Mobei, you will earn at least nearly ten million yuan.
The escort agency got 300,000 to 400,000 yuan according to the round-trip profit value. This time, the Chamber of Commerce of Jiangxian County successfully collected 2% of the escort goods, that is, 200,000 yuan to buy the road.
So Chai Baochang’s counter-offer is really good to Li Chongjiu’s limit.
Li Chongjiu said quietly, "What did General Chai hit you with? Zhengping County, the county town, didn’t attack you with tens of thousands of troops. If you rely on several small counties for the winter, are you trying to rob the people to live? Do you expect the people to support you against the court in the future? "
Li Chongjiu said that Chai Baochang’s face was stung. Li Chongjiu knew that he had guessed the other party’s mind, and it was easy to judge if anyone with ambition had a clear goal.
Chai Baochang still has a little ambition to be rich and important, so if he is popular with the people of crimson county, he won’t let his mother do it, and he is ashamed and treacherous.
Chai Baochang eyes a stare said "one hundred and fifty thousand can’t be a penny less"
50 thousand in one breath
Li Chongjiu still didn’t give an answer. He shook his head and said, "General Chai’s dart goods have to be sold in Mobei to see where there is money. I’ll just pay for it for nothing. I don’t want to pay 20,000 yuan for the Li Escort Agency. If we go through Jiang County and make a safe money, then we will leave a friendship in the future."
Chai Baochang and Li Chongjiu were bargaining. This business negotiation was very easy for Li Chongjiu, and they finally got a deal for 45,600 yuan.
After the price was agreed, Chai Baochang looked at Li Chongjiu’s lips and moved half a ring. Finally, he gave a long sigh and led the red scarf thief’s twenty thousand troops to retreat for twenty miles. When the caravan learned that Li Chongjiu would cross the road and pressure more than forty thousand dollars, it was incredible.
When 200,000 yuan was returned, most of the time, the businessmen looked at the heavy sheepskin cashboxes and looked at each other.
But now no one cares about these times. After they paid the money and goods, the caravan refugees rushed to Taihang Mountain Road without saying anything, and they were afraid that Chai Baochang would suddenly go back on his word.
After all the people have been running for dozens of miles, they are overwhelmed and unable to support, and then they stop believing that they have finally saved a life.
The shopkeeper and the stewards thought of changing their faces to face Lee Chong-jiu, but they didn’t worry about it. Lee Chong-jiu became a single-handed hero in twenty thousand troops.
Li Chongjiu, however, was not in the caravan at this moment, but later took a detective ride to monitor Chai Baochang’s army to see if there was a chase.
After the caravan heard it, it was even more regrettable that there were only a few complaints left, and they could not say anything. Now everyone is pointing to Lin Dangfeng to say a word.
All the businessmen are in charge of the business while holding torches and sitting in suitcases in the wilderness, despite the poor conditions.
A steward said, "steward Lin, we are not ungrateful. This time, we all relied on Li Shao’s escort."
"We thought that after we left Mobei for more than ten years, we still have to ask the Li family escort agency to keep our friendship. We are all in the same boat. You say, come up with an idea."
Lin Dangfeng took a look at the merchants and asked, "Is this your decision or everyone’s decision?"
Everyone in the caravan spoke to an older shopkeeper and said, "Everyone thinks so. We will go back and forth to Mobei twice a year later. We will have to run this escort route for at least ten years. Our business is not as good as it is. This time, the Li Escort Agency is reliable, the escorts are less intelligent and brave. We all admire me. I think we will all ask the Li Escort Agency to go to Mobei in the future."
"Today, everyone will discuss this matter, so it’s settled to deal with it. I think Lin is the most experienced steward, so please do everything."
All the businessmen are different chambers of commerce, but after this meeting, everyone will hold a group and walk together in Mobei.
When Lin Dangfeng heard this, he smiled and said, "It’s very good, but what about climbing friendship with the Li family escort agency?"
After consulting for a while, the businessmen said, "Isn’t there hundreds of money left this time? When Chai Baochang was not cheap, he gave it to Li Shao as a profit. "
"Not enough" Lin Dangfeng shook his head and said
"Well, I still have a distant niece. I think she will marry a young escort?" Just as one person spoke, he was sprayed by a group of businessmen.
One person said, "Qiu Laoxi, you are too stingy. If you can climb with a young escort, I have a daughter who is married to such a hero. Who doesn’t want to be a son-in-law?"
"Well, I’m not the only one."
All the businessmen were quarrelling at the same time. In the end, he didn’t discuss anything except giving Li Zhong 950 thousand money
Lin Dangfeng thought for a moment and said, "Let’s do what I want!"
Chapter 11 Starting from home
After the long caravan trudged through the Taihang Mountain Road, everyone had to pay a full tax to enter the river.
However, I don’t want the defenders to leave the city directly after seeing several refugees coming over, and give up this natural risk for no reason, which makes the merchants stunned for a while.
Then it’s said that everyone will go forward like mountains to the destination of Yanmen County.
Although there are no thieves chasing and blocking, and there is no shortage of food for the time being, it is difficult to travel all the way and the weather is freezing and cold.
Therefore, the refugees were killed and injured along the way, and there were dozens of layoffs every day. When they arrived at the general rudder of the Lijia Escort Agency in the party county, there were more than 2,300 refugees left along the way.
Although Li’s escort leader is the commander in chief, the business of the party escort agency is the last. Wang Mahan is the only one guarding Li Hu Su Su, and neither of them is right
Li Huyan has always been the seat of Yanmen Escort Agency, and now it has replaced the general rudder. It is not only the most profitable one among the three escort agencies, but also the largest one. Outside Yanmen borders, if you want to leave the grassland caravan from Bingzhou, you have to go through Yanmen County and Mayi County.
In Su Su’s eyes, Jinyang Escort Agency in Taiyuan County Jinyang in Taiyuan County used to be a state-owned state. Although the court abolished the state-owned county system, there was no state name in the official face, but the people still used to call it that.
The powerful center of the county government needs Su Su to read people like this and deal with government figures. Su Su is a lot of classmates in Hefen Gate, and adding money to open the way is also an umbrella for the various businesses of the official Li family escort agency.
Therefore, the importance of Taiyuan Yanmen Escort Agency has surpassed that of the earliest Party Escort Agency.
However, the caravan refugees of the Party Escort Agency finally got a rest here.
Does the escort agency have a big house and rent a private house? Is it enough for Wang Mahan to say goodbye after seeing Li Chongjiu?
Escort agencies entertain caravan refugees with hot wine and good meat. Everyone has a plate of delicious pills (note 1) to wash everyone’s boats and cars.
Finally, everyone can get rid of the fear of being chased by thieves and stolen goods, and have a safe sleep.
After two days’ rest, a businessman from the Party and County wants to deliver bulk goods to Yanmen County urgently. This is also the rule of escort agency. There is a new order, so two trips to escort goods are combined to save manpower and earn two money. This is also what they mean by setting up escort agencies everywhere.
This modern logistics is the most basic operation, but it was a pioneering work in the Sui Dynasty. You know, the earliest escort agency in China only appeared in the modern times and flourished in the Qing Dynasty
So the caravan braved the heavy snow and began to travel to the refugees again. Otherwise, if you don’t freeze to death, you will be exhausted. Li Chongjiu asked Wang Mahan’s party and county escort agency to treat them well, while Tan Zong and more than a dozen people went with the caravan to Yanmen County.
After a long journey of more than ten days, everyone finally arrived in Yanmen County at the end of November.
All the caravans are in front of the Lijia Escort Agency in Houyanmen County, and Lin Dangfeng and other businessmen are in charge and marvel at the vastness and grandeur of Yanmen Escort Agency.
A river surrounds the door, and a row of willows is a row of clear horse posts.
The gates are painted red with cast copper nails, and there are big lion claws on the left and right sides.
A hundred escort guards in front of a large escort agency are waiting at the door, all dressed in soap robes and neatly strapped.
And the first old man with a kind face is not Li Hu, the chief escort of the Li family escort agency. Who else can he be?
Li Huxian glanced at Li Chongjiu first, but Lin Dangfeng smiled and greeted several caravan shopkeepers. Obviously, some people have had contacts before.
When Li Hu came to the front of Li Chongjiu, he sighed slightly and said, "It’s good to come back after three years."
