Chapter 698 Fresh Food Caravan Yu Qingxuan

Mu Qingyu said: "I have a caravan under my command, which leads to the Southern Qi road. The timing of this shipment was unlucky. There happened to be a case where the caravan passed by, and I was implicated. Although it took ten days.

After half a month, they can be released after thorough investigation, but some of the goods transported are fresh, and if the delay continues, they will not be available."

Doing business is different from doing business.

However, the source of goods for merchants depends on traveling merchants, that is, caravans.

For ordinary merchants, if they can form a caravan by themselves, their business will be more than three times better than that of their peers. But in the same way, a merchant who can support a caravan is a clear proof of his strength.

The caravan not only supplies its own merchants, merchants, and shops, but can also sell goods to other merchants, merchants, merchants, and merchants.

But a caravan is not so easy to form.

Apart from anything else, in this era, travel relies on carriages, horses and two legs. Transportation is inconvenient and transportation is difficult. These are secondary.

The most important thing is the unknown dangers along the way.

Will there be bandits on the mountain road?

When passing through a waterway, will there be water tyrants?

In inaccessible places, you have to open a road when encountering mountains and cross rivers when encountering water.

In a place that avoids people, who knows if there might be robbers ambushing you?

The more goods transported and the more valuable they are, the greater the risk.

And the purchasing staff is also very particular.

A discerning person can find the best and cheapest purchasing point for the same goods.

For goods of the same quality, the less money you spend on purchasing them, the more you will earn. As for some goods that are not on the purchase order, the team leader generally has a 30% share of the purchase rights. If you encounter rare goods, the team leader will have a discerning eye.

Well, you can make money after buying it; or if you think it is a rare item, but you can't sell it after buying it, the money will be wasted.

A caravan trip would cost at least ten thousand taels of silver to purchase goods, and at most it would cost hundreds of thousands of taels.

Some even have the entire wealth of one or a few merchants, but if an accident occurs midway, they are robbed or the boat capsizes, not only will they lose their money, but they will also lose their lives and property, and heaven will fall into hell in an instant.

Therefore, the caravan must have guards with strong martial arts skills, a general leader who is unique and decisive, and a know-it-all who is familiar with the route...

In short, a shop is the simplest, a business is more difficult than a shop, a business is more difficult than a business, and a caravan is not only difficult. Without a net worth of three to five million taels, one cannot build a caravan.

Dongfang Moye, a world-famous businessman with strong financial resources, naturally has his own caravan.

The caravan will encounter various accidents along the way.

For example, what Mu Qingyu said this time was one of those accidents.

Dongfang Moye's eyes deepened.

He knew that Mu Qingyu's business was developing very rapidly, and he knew that Mu Qingyu was more than just this person.

But it turns out she also has a caravan.

So, this girl who only started to rise to prominence after marrying Queen Liang, in just two or three years, quietly and sullenly, has actually earned such a family fortune?

She is indeed an outstanding woman!

Dongfang Moye's eyes shone slightly, and the admiration in his eyes became more admiring.

He has seen many people, and because he himself is also an amazingly talented person, very few people can catch his eye.

The first thing that caught his eye was probably because the aroma of the food aroused the rare greed in his heart. The thing that caught his eye now was appreciation, praise, and optimism!

He asked: "Which county is it in?"

Mu Qingyu said: "Qixuo Mansion in Wanyu County!"

Dongfang Moye raised his eyebrows and said, "Sea goods?"

Mu Qingyu nodded: "Yes!"

Wanyu County in Southern Qi is close to the sea, and fishermen will go out to sea to salvage seafood. Among many areas, the seafood in Qixu Prefecture is particularly rich.

At present, no long-distance caravans will go here to transport sea goods, and the farthest is Fucheng next door. After all, sea goods are not easy to preserve during the transportation process, and they have been delayed for a long time on the road. Maybe a batch of sea goods is not plump and plump.

delicious food, but a pile of smelly garbage.

Dongfang Moye's originally surprised eyes became even more astonished.

There is a caravan, which is already a display of strength.

And that caravan turned out to be transporting fresh goods from the sea. This means that this caravan is not only powerful, but also extremely fast. How fast is it? So fast that it must ensure that the fresh goods from the sea can be transported to the destination within seven days.

Because if it exceeds seven days, it will smell bad.

What is the concept of seven days? From the seaside village of Qixuo Mansion in Wanyu County to the capital of Dongxia, it was flying pigeons that carried the message, and the pigeons had to fly for two days without getting lost or taking detours.

Eight hundred miles in a hurry, without sleep or rest, it takes nine days!

The divine steed that travels thousands of miles a day has to run for seven days without any rest!

At normal speed, riding a carriage and traveling overnight, that is a three-month journey.

Some people have also tried to transport it, using the hard ice collected from the river in winter and putting it in boxes of fresh goods from the sea. It is not bad in winter, there is ice everywhere, and it can be transported to farther places.

But it's almost summer now.

In this kind of weather, the ice stored in winter, even if it is as big as a tabletop, will melt completely after two or three days. How can a traveling caravan ensure that the source of ice is timely and sufficient?

No wonder there are a lot of fresh seafood in the capital at this time. Although the price is not cheap, being able to eat the plump and delicious fresh seafood from the southern Qi coast in Dongxia Capital is not only a symbol of financial strength, but also a proof of identity.

Satisfy your appetite.

But he didn't expect that it would be Mu Qingyu's caravan that was transporting it.

This vision and strength made him adjust his understanding of Mu Qingyu once again.

He said: "I will send a message via flying pigeon to let people go around and let them go as soon as possible. But is it okay to delay it for a few days?"

After all, flying pigeons carry messages, and pigeons have to fly over on the road.

Mu Qingyu said: "No problem!"

Dongfang Moye understood.

She must have mastered how to keep fresh food from the sea from smelling bad and keep it alive or fresh.

But Mu Qingyu did not respond to his temptation.

He couldn't ask any more questions. Any more questions would be prying into commercial secrets.

Although this caravan has such ability, it is tantamount to trying to get money, and it is difficult not to be tempted.

He even thought about asking just now, didn't he?

But he soon felt relieved.

His business is already big enough. He accounts for 60% of the people's livelihood businesses such as salt, iron, cotton and grain in Southern Qi and Eastern Xia. It can almost be said that he controls half of the lifeblood of a country.

He really doesn't need to be too greedy.

After all, his eyes are not just on business!

Besides, if it were someone else, he could get a share of the pie, but since it was the girl in front of him, he still didn't want to use businessman's methods.

For one thing, it may not be possible to use it as you wish. The girl in front of you looks young, but her vision and ambition should not be underestimated. She is not a soft persimmon that can be pinched casually.

Secondly, he and Mu Qingyu are now partners and friends, and he does not want to ruin this situation.

The best way is of course to help.

If there is favor, he will not lose anything!

Dongfang Moye suddenly realized: "Actually, the first person you want to seek help from is not me, right?"

If so, she wouldn't say it now. If he didn't come to Weiwuhou Mansion today, Mu Qingyu should have found someone else!

For some reason, when he thought that Mu Qingyu had other candidates in mind, some uncomfortable emotions welled up in his heart.

Mu Qingyu said: "I encountered this unexpectedly, and I didn't think of anyone who could help me. But as soon as I saw you, I felt that you are the most suitable candidate!"

Although she still had a smile on her face, she couldn't help but think in her heart that Dongfang Moye was really keen. Since she let the caravan take this road, she must have cleared the road before the caravan started walking.

Otherwise, how much money can be put in?

It only opens the road and ensures that it is open, but accidents on the road are unpredictable.

When Mu Qingyu received the news, the method she planned to adopt was to start with the Wanyu County Sheriff. The Sheriff had a son whom he regarded as a jewel and wanted him to become a disciple of a very famous old gentleman.

Unfortunately, the old gentleman encountered trouble when he came to participate in the academic event of Yuding Academy more than a year ago, and was helped by Mu Qingyu. The old gentleman once said that he owed Mu Qingyu a favor.

, Mu Qingyu can use this favor to make him agree to something in the future.

If the old gentleman agreed to accept the county guard's son as his apprentice, the county guard would be very happy if the county guard found out the truth and released all the implicated Yu Qingxuan.

However, Mu Qingyu had no way of knowing what the governor's character was and whether he was suitable to be the old gentleman's disciple.

Although she had this favor, she didn't want to force the old man to accept a disciple she didn't like unless it was absolutely necessary.

When she saw Dongfang Moye, she thought that Dongfang Moye started his career in Southern Qi and his base camp was over there. He must be more familiar with him in person.
