After a long time of struggle, Yuwen Wen asked Zheng Tong to pass the book he bought. Except for the inexplicable "Yu Tai Xin Yong", no books other than the book list were found. This "Yu Tai Xin Yong" should have been a mistake in the bookstore and sent it with some other books. Dingdian Novel,

"Yu Tai Xinyong..." Yu Wen Wen pondered. This was not what he thought was the "Little Yellow Book". This book contains more than 700 poems from the Zhou Dynasty to the Southern Dynasties, focusing on the emotional entanglements of men and women.

There are indeed erotic poems, but there are also various other emotional entanglements, such as marriage, denying the unfaithful man, not vain, men and women, husbands and wives, sorrows of falling out of favor, lingering love, and cannot be roughly defined as "Little Yellow Book".

"Since it's delivered, then buy it." He finally made a decision. Zheng Tong wanted to say something when he heard this, but finally nodded silently. Yuwen Wen didn't say much and put the book down.

‘Whatever else is for the “Ancient Poems Written by Jiao Zhongqing’s Wife” included.’ He sighed in his heart and walked out of the room.

"Ancient Poems Written by Jiao Zhongqing's Wife" is also known as "The Peacock Flying Southeast", which is a poem about the Han Dynasty Yuefu, and the folk song "Mulan Poems" of the Northern Dynasty, collectively known as "The Two Birds of Yuefu". Of course, for someone, this is an article he learned in his high school Chinese textbook.

The peacock flies southeast, telling a tragic story of love: In the late Han Dynasty, during the Jian'an period, Jiao Zhongqing, a minor official in Lujiang Prefecture, was sent by Zhongqing's mother and vowed not to marry him. His family forced him to die after losing water. Zhongqing also hanged himself in the garden tree when he was injured. This poem was inherently found.

"The peacock flies southeast, wandering for five miles... Putting on her skirt and taking off her silk shoes, lifting her body to the Qing pond... wandering under the tree in the courtyard, hanging on the southeast branches..."

Reciting the "text" I just reviewed, Yu Wenwen solemnly recited the sentence "Hanging the Southeast Branch by yourself". Before he knew it, he came out of the room, pushed the door open and sat in front of the desk, relieved his emotions, took out the letter of the family and took it apart and took it a closer look.

First of all, it was my father's letter, and nothing special. First of all, it was care and then it was reminder. I briefly explained the current situation in Shannan. Anyway, it was "the future was bright." I also said that there were people in Bazhou to take care of him and let him not worry in Yecheng.

Of course, in the end he was reminded to be cautious in his words and actions in Yecheng and not to cause trouble.

"I also specifically told me not to cause trouble. Am I so hateful? I don't even believe my own son, it's not true!" Yu Wen Wen was a little amused and couldn't remember the incident of "striking the palace" that day.

Next is the letter from his wife Yuchi Chifan, full of three pieces of paper and three different handwritings, of course, written by three wives and concubines. The mother of the family, Yuchi Chifan, talked about the current situation in the mansion, in short, everything is normal.

In the letter, she told her husband who was far away in Yecheng to pay attention to the local environment and the environment when food, accommodation and transportation, and to wear warm clothes. Yang Lihua and Xiao Jiuniang were also full of care in the letter, which made him feel warm.

"Calling the day, I wrote at least half a month ago. I guess I was in Yecheng and asked the postman to send it from afar." Yuwen Wen murmured to himself, "I think the matter at the court meeting has almost reached Shannan."

After he passed the "performance art" in the hall, his father would be helpless after he passed it back, his wives and concubines would be worried, and his subordinates might be speechless, so he wrote a letter back to "explain" the next day to avoid misunderstandings.

Just as I was about to pick up the pen and write a reply, I didn't expect that someone would knock on the door. It turned out that Manager Liu had something to report, saying that someone was asking for a meeting. Now I am waiting outside the mansion. More than one person asked for a meeting, all of whom came for the glazed mirror.

"Liuli Mirror, you can handle it. What else do you want to see me?" Yuwen Wen was a little surprised, but then he thought about it and asked another question: "Why, is anyone using his power to suppress others?"

I promised not to cause trouble, but I am not afraid of trouble. I dare to send you to my door? I will kill you!

Seeing someone coming to the door with his face, Yuwen Wen was not angry but happy. As the saying goes, "Knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated." Without waiting for Manager Liu to answer the previous question, he raised a new question: "Have you figured it out by the boss behind them?"

"Well, the boss, they are all wealthy merchants in Yecheng. This time they came to meet the envoy, and they both wanted to wrap the glass mirror on our hands."

"Just make the decision, your decision is mine." Yuwen Wen was distracted when he heard this. It turned out that the wealthy businessman wanted to show off his wealth, so it was nothing to do with him. According to the original plan, all the related matters were handled by Manager Liu.

Manager Liu was working under Yuwen Wen. He was not a slave who signed a contract, nor was he an official or a general. Therefore, Yuwen Wen claimed that he was a little troublesome, so he simply used "me" directly, which saved all day long.

He wanted to be the boss of the hand, but Manager Liu couldn't take it. He was holding a bunch of prayer letters in his hand. According to his detailed explanation, the wealthy merchants in Yecheng not only wanted to pack the glass mirrors they brought to Yecheng, but also wanted to book the goods from Bazhou.

No one is a fool when doing business. No one knows how many glass mirrors Yuwen Wen brought to Yecheng, but the wealthy merchants all know that this thing is profitable. Even if Yuwen Wen didn't carry much with him, there will definitely be a lot of them in Bazhou.

Yuwen Wen did not claim to be able to produce glazed mirrors, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that the "Western Regions Glazed Glazed Mirror" was made by him. There is only one company and there is no branch for this thing, so it is a good opportunity to make a fortune as soon as possible.

Manager Liu had several glass mirrors before, which attracted many wealthy merchants to visit. However, he really couldn't make the decision in this way. Yuwen Wen, who could make the decision, was in the palace again. The people who came to the door these days were like a stream of water, and they were asking when Yuwen Wen would return.

"Bazhou...they traveled from Yecheng to Bazhou for more than 4,000 miles, and weren't afraid of any accidents halfway? Also, what did they take to pay? Chen Guo could also transport it by water by ship. Could they have to hundreds of convoys to get money?"

"So the boss has to come and ask in person."

"These people have no unknown origin?" Yuwen Wen is most concerned about safety. If someone is hacked to death during the interview, it will be a disaster from the sky. This is Yecheng, which was once the old nest of the "Yexiao". He is not stupid and bold.

Manager Liu only said that except for the one he worked with, he did not recognize any of the others, and did not know who was of unknown origin. Yuwen Wen was not embarrassed to see this, so he asked him to come in and meet him in order of arrival at the mansion. At the same time, Zhang Yu stood by his side, and several guards were guarding outside the door.

A moment later, Manager Liu led a man in. The man was wearing a white robe, with a bloated figure, square head and big ears, but with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looked quite kind. If he wore a cassock, he would be called a solemn appearance.

After the introduction and greetings, the two sides sat down. Manager Liu also sat aside. The person named Cui, who said he was a child of the Cui family in Qinghe. Of course, he was not from the eldest wife. He came here this time to talk about the glass mirror.

"Since Manager Cui is interested, I will not talk too much. I will ask you how much goods you want. I will ask you how much money you will transport the goods." Yuwen Wen was straight to the point. Now he is talking about business. It is a bit awkward to "I official" one by one, so he claimed to switch to "I Gong".

"I don't know what the county lord wants? Whether it is a rare treasure or a horse, a small shop can be transported." Manager Cui asked, and his name also changed from the "envoy" at the beginning to "county Duke".

"Horse? How many horses can you get in your store?" Yuwen Wen was quite surprised. If the other party could get a horse, it would be a good deal. He is short of horses now, but he is skeptical about the number.

"The county lord, Liangzhou horses, regardless of whether they are from Youzhou or Bingzhou, can be used, hundreds of horses can be used. Of course, it is difficult to have too many horses."

"The court has recently captured Hezhou and the second Wuzhou General Administration is bounded by two locations, and it is only adjacent to the Yangtze River. Once the Chen army attacks, it is very easy to pass through, so it is probably difficult to deal with at that time." Yuwen Wen asked.

This is a very realistic problem. The connection between Shannan prefectures and the imperial court is very fragile. The boundary of the Hezhou General Administration on the southeast foot of the Dabie Mountains is the only channel from Shannan to Yecheng.

Manager Cui’s answer was also very straightforward. He said that it wouldn’t matter if Chen Jun just striking it. If there is a change in Hezhou, it would be very troublesome. At that time, the lucky horse would be really out of luck, but carrying other valuable things can be guaranteed.

From the north to the south of the mountain, not only do they go around the eastern foot of the Dabie Mountains, but they can also enter Jingzhou from Yuzhou, that is, they can enter the country through the territory of the Sui Kingdom. Of course, it is naturally impossible to transport horses in this way.

In addition to horses, he also has crystal bowls, agate cups, various gems, jades, as well as various northern specialties, or gold. These things are easy to carry. He has been doing business for many years and has some connections everywhere, so even if the Zhou, Sui and Chen battles, he can still carry these things from the north to the south.

Manager Cui said that if the transaction is decided, Yuwen Wen doesn’t need to worry about how they will bring the ‘payment’ to Bazhou, nor do they have to worry about problems on the way back and forth. They will pay the money and deliver the goods at the same time, and there is no need to handle anything extra.

"Shopkeeper Cui seems to be very strong. If I want to buy hemp, I wonder if it will be shipped?"

"Please rest assured that the county magistrate will be able to deliver it."

“How to deliver it?”

"Carry the ship from Qingzhou, go south along the coast, enter the estuary of the Yangtze River, and go up the river."

"Sea transportation? I am ignorant..." Yuwen Wen nodded. He subconsciously thought that he could only go by land to the north and south. He ignored that the other party could also go by sea to turn to water. Coastal transportation in this era was also very developed.

As for how the other party passes through the Chen Jun Navy blockade, it should not be a problem. The strength and ways of the wealthy merchants are not comparable to those of small merchants.

"The transaction of this glass mirror... I wonder what the county public agrees?" asked Manager Cui. Both parties had not even discussed the specific issues of the glass mirror, but he knew what this Xiyang County Duke needed the most. As long as he could meet the situation, the opportunity would be much greater.

"I have written down the name of Manager Cui."

"Luckily." Manager Cui stood up and bowed. The other party said he had already written down his name, which means that things had come to this point and at least there was a good progress. He didn't expect to settle it immediately.

After Manager Cui left, wealthy merchants Ding Zou, Yan Xing and others came one after another. They were all rich people in Yecheng, so they got very close to the government during the Qi period. After Zhou State came, they naturally defected to the new master. The power of the backer standing behind was not low.

Someone came to discuss business, but Yuwen Wen couldn't ask for it. He didn't have his own business path. He used to mainly trade with the Chen State in Jiangnan. Now that the country of Zhou State is connected, the trade path in the north can be considered.

The sales of glazed mirrors were mainly in Jiangnan, but once a war started, they would be easily affected. If the northern market could be opened, it would be very useful to ensure the stability of Yuwen Wen's income.

Of course, he couldn't organize his own caravan, so he needed these merchants to be intermediaries. Although he made less money, the market was much bigger, and the main thing was to buy horses.

Most of the merchants sell horses, and most of them are ordinary horses. If they interact between enemy countries, the number will be greatly limited, but now this is not a problem for Yuwen Wen.

First of all, this is the domestic horse trading. As long as the court does not issue a ban, one will pay and the other will sell horses. It is a good way to solve the horse famine. It doesn’t matter if the horses are ordinary. As long as they are qualified war horses, they can be saved little by little, and they can gather sand to form towers and furs.

So what Yuwen Wen cares about is the strength of the other party and whether he has the ability to transport the things he wants to safely come to Bazhou. The wealthy merchants and giants are trafficking goods thousands of miles away. The officials of prefectures and counties along the way are a big challenge for them. Meeting the unscrupulous governors and county magistrates can directly kill and seize goods.

During the Western Jin Dynasty, Shi Chong, who was rich and liked to fight for wealth, sent people to intercept and kill merchants in the country when he was the governor of Jingzhou, so as to obtain huge wealth and make a lot of money. Since then, from time to time, officials of prefectures and counties have been brave enough to commit such evil acts.

At this time, Liangzhou was also an important hub. When Yuwen Wen was in Chang'an, he also heard of the "feat" of a Liangzhou governor: he summoned a gathering of past merchants and directly sent troops to surround the guild hall. He killed all these people without saying a word, and then all the livestock and goods accompanied him were all for himself.

There is a similar situation in Jiangnan. When they meet a merchant selling goods, the prefecture and county officials defrauded him of the robbery, and sent him to prison and "drunk cold water" and the "stolen stolen" disappeared mysteriously.

Or the powerful and powerful people who occasionally pluck their hair, the business deals done by the rich and powerful businessmen are high risks and high returns. As the saying goes, "There are people doing business that is beheaded, but no one does the business that is losing money." Businessmen who dare to return goods thousands of miles to travel through the enemy country have at least a few brushes in their hands.

Yuwen Wen wanted to examine the strength of these people to ensure that he could have a stable income. The court would allocate horses to Shannan, but that was the process of public service, not to mention that there were too many monks and less porridge, and Bazhou would not be able to get many horses, so he had to buy horses by himself, and needed a strong supplier.

The people who met were like flowing water. Yuwen Wenjun met one by one. Manager Liu introduced another person. He was over 20 years old, tall, deep eyes and high nose, slightly curly hair, full hair, and a white round neckline and narrow sleeves tunic.
