Zhu Da arranged for people to prepare meals for the caravan, wanting Li Zhuang and his group to rest. Of course, he knew that the caravan was traveling a long distance to come here, and it must be very hard.

However, seeing Li Zhuang's face shaken and hearing the cold words of the caravan managers' worker, Zhu Da changed his mind.

"Let me see your goods." Zhu Da said to Li Zhuang.

Although he was shaken by suspicion, Li Zhuang did not dare to neglect his words. Li Zhuang quickly called an older manager to follow him and check the goods together.

The caravans were about to go to rest, but when checking the goods, they had to help unload the pack, so they were naturally inseparable from it. There were inevitably complaints among the crowd, and the faces of several young guys fell down.

"I can't afford this poor place, so what can I see?" someone in the crowd whispered, as if it was low, but everyone could hear it clearly.

The old manager who followed Li Zhuang glared fiercely over there, and the caravan crowd finally became much quieter. Zhu Da looked at Li Zhuang with ugly expression and shook his head in his heart. Although the young man could not convince the public after taking over, the resentment of the people below was too heavy.

There were six large trucks loading in the caravan, twelve camels, and the other large trucks and livestock were loaded with supplies from the caravan. Zhu Da came to a large truck to stand in front of a large truck and saw that the goods on the truck were piled up. He pointed and said, "Download the goods and I'll take a look."

Zhu Da was a little calculating in his heart. Judging from the caravan's standpoint, it was too unstable to ship so many goods and bring so many people when he first came to Huairen County to do business. Li Zhuang did not consider the risks of the road and destination. If he encountered bandits and official troops robbing the robbers, or turned against others, he would lose all his money. It would be possible that he would have no life. If he was the manager or friend of the caravan, he would have resentment or dissatisfaction with this kind of resentment. It would be normal for Li Zhuang to be so dissatisfied with the public.

Of course, from Zhu Da's standpoint, the caravan's more goods are better. The recklessness of this young businessman is of great benefit to him. If Li Zhuang cannot convince the public, then Zhu Da will support him.

Hearing Zhu Da's order, Li Zhuang called for someone to unload the goods. The caravan's guys did not move. He ignored his orders and looked at the old manager. This scene immediately made Li Zhuang unable to hold back his face. The young businessman blushed and pointed at the people below and shouted: "What are you all standing there? Why don't you unload the goods quickly!"

The old manager's expression was a little embarrassed. He looked at Li Zhuang apologetically, and rubbed his hands and said to Zhu Da: "This man, Xiao Hu brought a lot of goods this time, and Huairen County is afraid that it will not be able to eat them. It is the twelfth lunar month, and it is a good time to sell the goods. Xiao Hu wants to go to the nearby garage and several checkpoints to sell the goods. When you return to the city, you will prepare a gift for you, or the food and accommodation will be three times the price in these two days. You can see if you don't need to unload this product."

Hearing this, Li Zhuang's face turned redder, but he couldn't speak for a moment. He could not move his servants in front of outsiders. This was indeed both ashamed and angry.

"What kind of goods are there? Tell me." Ignore their family's embarrassment. Zhu Da asked in a deep voice. Of course he could understand the meaning of the words. It was not that Huairen County could not afford it, but that he could not afford it. He was going to give it some benefits. Then the caravan went to do his own business. The old manager probably thought he was a loyal servant, and the family interests took the lead, and the young master's face was put aside first.

"There are half a truck of southern goods, a few baskets of fresh and dried fruits, some pottery and porcelain, some medicinal materials, some spices, and daily utensils and groceries." Although he was unwilling to unload the goods, the old manager still submitted the order.

The so-called southern goods refer to goods from Jiangnan, including silk, utensils, food, etc. Because the industry and commerce in Jiangnan are well developed, these goods are well-made and have much better quality than northern goods. These goods are often used by people from the north and above. The price of black and white goods with southern goods is much more expensive than that of northern goods, so they are generally sold well during the New Year Festival. Everyone is willing to spend money during the New Year Festival. This half cart of southern goods should be prepared for garages and wealthy people in the local area. All goods in the South must be the most profitable.

In addition to southern goods, fruits and spices are also of the same nature. This is also the goods that only people of medium or above will buy. From the perspective of doing business, when preparing New Year's goods in the twelfth lunar month, the carts and camels of the Li family caravan should be filled with these goods to earn more.

Even if the goods were not unloaded, after the old manager reported the shipment order, Zhu Da was able to roughly distinguish which ratio of goods on the car and the camel was loaded. This was his skill he had practiced in Zhengjiaji and Hebian New Village. He could see that most of them were pottery, porcelain, medicinal materials, and groceries.

It’s okay to say that pottery can’t make much money, let alone the pottery is heavy and fragile, and it takes up space. As for medicinal materials, with the strength of the Li family caravan, the price of medicinal materials that can be operated will not be too high. The medicinal materials do not have enough portions and occupy space, which is similar to the nature of pottery. From a traveling caravan, it is not wise to choose these goods to go out for business. There are fewer goods to make money and more goods to make money. This is clearly thankless. It is no wonder that the caravan is so resentful.

But for Zhu Da, it was different. Li Zhuang brought all the goods for him this time. The two met again at the city gate. Although Li Zhuang didn't know his plan to shelter refugees at that time, he could also infer that Zhu Da wanted to take root in Huairen County. If he wanted to take root, he needed industry. Industry needed manpower. Whether it was the industry itself or the hired manpower, he needed various pottery and porcelain. As for these daily medicinal materials, they could be used for their own use and made good friends. The substances selected by Li Zhuang wanted to help Zhu Da.

It seems that he kept the advice of Uncle Li Zhuang in his heart. This time, the businessman did not expect to make money, but wanted to help Zhu Da and make friends with Zhu Da. Although he was shaken after meeting, his original intention was good. Most of the time, those pottery and porcelain, etc., even thought of the pickling industry in Hebian New Village.

"How much money do you have to sell for the goods you bring?" Zhu Da asked, with a smile on his face.

Although it is normal to inquire with the caravan, the situation is a bit abrupt at this time. The old manager has been paying attention to Zhu Da. He found that this young man under twenty years old has calmness and maturity beyond his age. In comparison, his boss is too immature and impulsive. When the young man asked this, he did not provoke or show off, purely for the sake of asking for the price.

"I can't afford to ask, what do you ask?" someone said with a sneer.

But Zhu Da's attitude made the old manager dare not be perfunctory. He coughed and replied, "There are a total of 490 taels of silver. If you exchange it for local cloth and fur, you will have to increase the price by half."

There is often not enough currency in the local area. The caravans often cannot collect silver and money when selling goods. They also accept bartering, but they often have to lower the price by 10% or even more. This lowering price is often the source of profits of the caravan, which is equivalent to a low-price acquisition and can be made by replacing the store.

After the old manager answered, Li Zhuang did not interrupt and argue. Although the price here was slightly higher, the price of the local cloth and fur was half a percent higher, which was considered as a living thing. This was also considered that if Zhu Daqiang wanted to save face and wanted to buy all the goods or only buy part of it, he would of course not be able to afford the "huge sum" of 500 taels. At that time, he could pay for it by collecting some local cloth and fur. If there was a step, he would be able to live up to the face.

After hearing the price, Zhu Da nodded and said to Li He who was following him: "Get five hundred taels of silver."

Li He has been busy in the farm these days. After the caravan arrived, he was supposed to come to contact us. When he heard Zhu Da’s arrangement, he immediately called the two of them to get the money together.

He said it lightly, but Li Zhuang and the old manager were stunned. No matter what, five hundred taels of silver were a lot of money. The Li family caravans had eight big cars, more than twenty animals, and dozens of men, who were facing the wind and snow to do the 500 taels business, but how could this simple-dressed young master say so simply?

"I've asked for all these goods." Zhu Da said.

The caravan was still noisy, but the side close to Zhu Da had already quieted down. The smile on Zhu Da's face disappeared. He did not continue to talk about the transaction, but pointed to the two young men in the caravan and said, "Catch these two people out."

Zhu Da ordered that two servants and three young policemen rushed over immediately and dragged the person out directly. There were also many young and strong people on the caravan. They didn't want to surrender, but the servants were murderous intent on them. The young soldiers were used to the task of arresting people. The two looked fierce when they dared to resist and wanted to kill people. The three were full of intimidation with the king's laws. The caravans and others were scared and watched their companions get caught out.

At Zhu Da's signal, the two friends were thrown on the ground between Li Zhuang and Zhu Da, and were directly pressed to kneel there. Seeing that their companions were caught there and kneeling down, the caravans began to stir up, but they did not dare to move, because the servants and the young and young refugees on Zhu Da's side took out weapons. Although the young and young refugees were holding wooden poles, the spears and Pu swords that the servants were holding were really shining with cold light and murderous intent.

Dozens of young and strong men, with more than a dozen weapons made of iron, looked quite well-organized. The caravan managers and friends had a lot of experience in traveling around the world. They never thought that this shabby Xiaotianzhuang had such force. In theory, these kinds of swords and weapons should only be available by military officers and local tyrants. Now when they see them, they were shocked immediately.

The noise quickly calmed down. Besides, the caravan was not very interested in hating the enemy. Everyone knew that the two companions who were caught were the two who were the most rumored just now. One of them was the one who said "I can't afford this poor place." It was unreasonable to argue for these people.

"Li Zhuang is my brother. If you don't accept my brother, you are disrespectful to me. Today I will discipline him." Zhu Da said loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the silver had already been taken over. Zhu Da saved three thousand taels of cash in the farm. It was in the cellar where he lived, and Li He went back and forth quickly.

Seeing this scene, Li He placed fifty ingots of silver next to Zhu Da. It was still snowing at this time, but the light of the silver was still flashing. The caravans close to this side could see clearly, and they were all silent.

For those who do business, the threat of force is terrible, but it is not as shocking as gold and silver. They know the power of wealth best. They are already scared when they see swords and guns, and they are completely convinced when they see these silver.

Li Zhuang's face turned red again on the other side. He was embarrassed and angry before, but now he was excited...
