For businesses like Dashengchang, they often have ten times the profits of trading with Qiang people, and for businessmen like Lao Wang, their transactions can sometimes achieve a hundred times the profits of trading.

However, Dashengchang didn't envy Lao Wang and the others because they were small in size and large in number of business names. Another thing is that Lao Wang and the others had a long trip and had a slow turnover, which was not as efficient as theirs.

These large merchants follow the river and push the trading points forward. After purchasing the goods, they can go down the river valley, which is very convenient.

Single-gang merchants like Lao Wang want to follow the small tributaries of the rivers and enter the deep mountains with inconvenient transportation. Small wooden boats and ponies are their means of trafficking.

After purchasing the goods, Lao Wang went to the restaurant. Although it was located in a remote border and surrounded by indigenous Qiang people, as long as you have money to make money, adventurers will come.

The business came, a trading point was established, and a fortress was built, so there were shopkeepers, apprentices, and some shopkeepers even brought their families with them.

At the same time, there will be restaurants, brothels, girls, chefs, and even clinics here.

Lao Wang walked around and was surprised to find that there was a new Taoist temple, a temple, and even a academy. Although the Taoist priest was just an old Taoist with two young and thin Taoist priests, there were only three or five monks.

But these changes were only happened after he left. Now I always feel a little surprised when I see these.

He felt more and more that this place seemed to be more and more like a city.

While he was having a meal, an official even came. The man reported his identity as a municipal official sent by the Taoyuan County Municipal Bureau of Lintao County, where he was responsible for the transactions and taxes. He also had an assistant, a very young man, who looked like he was underage.

These unfamiliar and fresh faces made Lao Wang feel uncomfortable.

After the city official made his identity, he told him about the current situation and potential dangers, and then told him that even if he went to the Qiang people to do business, he would not do anything wrong and ruin the reputation of the court.

At the same time, he told him that if he was in danger, he could ask for help from the nearest military stations.

Finally, the city dictator summoned him aside and gave him a task, which was to take someone with him when he left.

"Take people?"

"He will act as your buddy temporarily, but you don't need to pay him a salary."

Lao Wang was puzzled. The government sent him a friend for free?

"That's a person from the court, but his identity will be your friend on the surface. He will walk with you, explore the terrain along the way, and inspect the feelings of the people of various Qiang tribes. You don't have to worry about anything else."

Lao Wang thought to himself, isn’t this just a spy? I was a little excited when I thought about it, and felt that it would not hinder him, so I agreed immediately.

After a while, the city order brought a man.

He looks like a guy, not powerful at all.

When the man saw him, he said that his surname was Wang, and he became Lao Wang's nephew on the way back and asked Lao Wang to take care of him more.

After having a meal together, this little Wang was serious.

Lao Wang always wanted to test and know more, but Xiao Wang was not leaking. After a while, Lao Wang felt a little bored.

After the meal, after a simple rest, Lao Wang went to check his goods. The shops had already packed them for him. After counting them, the two sides handed over them. Then he went to the stable area there and rented six pony.

Originally, he only rented four horses per person, but because he added someone, Lao Wang thought he could bring more goods, so he temporarily purchased a batch of goods and rented two more horses.

This kind of horse is short, especially with short feet. Although it is not as tall and majestic as the Tuguhun horse, it is better because it is good at crossing mountains and ridges. It is very suitable for businessmen like them.

After all, the places they want to go are often those bird paths and beasts that have to cross mountains and ridges.

All preparations were made and rested in the village for a night. The next day, the next day, Lao Wang walked out of the village with Xiao Wang with his goods.

After leaving the village, there is a long journey.

I have been walking for a long time, and I have probably walked more than 200 miles. On the way, Lao Wang did not go to trade with the Qiang people. "We are the ones who run single gang, and there are rules. You see, the hundreds of miles after the trading point are actually divided into spheres of influence. Each one run single gang has its own territory. Others cannot cross the boundary at will, otherwise they will cross the boundary and the consequences will be very serious."

This is like hunters. Each hunter has his own hunting area. Hunters can only trap and hunt in that place, otherwise they will lead to conflict.

The big merchants divided trading points, while the single-gang merchants divided the Shantou Qianglou.

In this way, everyone will be at peace.

If there are new people, you have to worship the mountain first and get permission before you can.

"The state has its own laws and regulations!"

Xiao Wang just nodded, but didn't say much.

Lao Wang's territory is very far from the trading point, three hundred miles away. Fortunately, although it was hard to sleep in the open, he did not encounter Qiang people robbing goods.

"The Qiang people were very fierce in the past, but later the Lintao County Magistrate brought the county soldiers to suppress the bandits several times, killed some people, and sent the heads to various tribes to read, those people became much more honest."

The little king listened quietly all the way, and when he was camping every night, he started writing and painting. Lao Wang had seen it, but he didn't stop him. He painted the routes along the way, where there were rivers, where there were ferries, where there were springs, where there were valleys, where there were valleys, and where there were records, and these were all told by Lao Wang.

At noon that day, they had just crossed a mountain when they heard a howling sound in front of them.

Then suddenly a few Qiang people wearing leather robes jumped out. When these people saw Lao Wang, they shouted happily, and even ran over to help Lao Wang lead the horse.

Xiao Wang was startled and reached his hands on the hilt of the knife around his waist.

But Lao Wang smiled and walked forward and hugged a Qiang man happily.

"Old Wang, you haven't been here for a long time, and I thought you won't come."

"Go back to my hometown in Zhongyuan and get a wife for my son."

Xiao Wang was very surprised to see them happy, as if they were relatives who had been reunited after a long time.

The Qiang people excitedly welcomed Lao Wang and walked back, and were even very kind to Lao Wang's nephew.

"Old Wang, we have accumulated a lot of fur. If you don't come again, we will sell it to other Han people." The Qiang man holding Lao Wang's arm said with a smile.
