Zhan Zhumen

Early the next morning, Huo Xi took a group of his men out of the city.

After leaving Kunming City, the road became more and more difficult to walk.At noon, everyone rested on a flat place and had lunch on the spot.

"I like to go out with my wife. See here not only has hot water and hot soup to drink, but also hot dishes to eat." In the past, it was good to have dry food when walking around.Xun Wu has a happy face.

"Next time you go out, bring more girls and women, and there is no shortage of hot water and soup." Vanilla teased him.

If it was another girl's mother, Xun Wu would naturally joke back, but this vanilla is Zhufeng's mother-in-law, he dare not make a mistake.

Taking a look at Zhuifeng who was sitting on the side enjoying vanilla's service, "No matter how I am, can I be as comfortable as Zhufeng?"

Chasing the wind squinted at him, and smiled.It's comfortable, and the gods don't change it.Frankly enjoying the service of his wife.

Vanilla laughed and said, "If it weren't for the fact that he is still useful, our wife will have to rely on him to protect her all the way. Can I serve him? Does he have no hands or feet?"

Everyone laughed, and said that Zhufeng Fugang was weak.Chasing the Wind only smiled and shook his head.

My wife, but she likes to show off her words, but she is very obedient in private.

Huo Xi and Huo Nian respected their ideas very much.Life is short, who doesn't want to live comfortably?In addition, the pursuit of fame and fortune is nothing more than external possessions.

Huo Xi looked at Zhuifeng, saw that there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and smiled too.It seems that no matter how iceberg-like a person is, children are also his weakness.I don't know what happened to Xiao Yuer.

"I said Zhuifeng, with your skill, don't think about the son's subordinates, go to the army to make a way out?" Xun Wu felt that it was a pity that such a talent as Zhuifeng only served as an escort by his wife's side.

"Sister Xiangcao, you remember your Rouge."

She left the other three to Nian'er, and they followed Nian'er without much thought of claiming credit.I just want to live freely in the sun.

"Yes. We have an advantage over those tea merchants. Even the Yi tribes scattered in the mountains in the southwestern states know that the Mu Mansion in Kunming has a famous post from the prince. We just need to show it. The leaders are all willing to sell us good tea."

After the border turmoil ended, Mu Yan followed Mu Sheng and led the army back to Kunming City.

After resting for a while, everyone started on the road again.

Huo Xi was very interested, "Okay, it just so happens that tomorrow is the time for the tea merchants to inspect the goods as agreed by the Tea Horse Company. After finishing the work, let's stay for two more days and go to have a look the next day. It just so happens that we also brought some tea this time. The cloth came to test the water, just to see if there was anything to exchange, bought it and shipped it back, earning money for the traveling expenses and all the way.”

There are Yi people, Fan people, Han people of all kinds here, seeing that Huo Xi and the others are dressed richly and differently from them, they all looked over.

Zhuifeng Tayueting Tinglei Muyu and the four of them all went through a lot of twists and turns from the darkness to the sun, and they cherish the present life very much.

Seeing that Huo Xi and the others were interested, Xun Wu introduced them to the side.

"It's the first time that there's such a big fanfare."

After everyone settled down, Huo Xi asked Xun Wu to tell everyone about the situation here.

Everywhere you can see people of various Yi ethnic groups, dressed in all kinds of clothes, carrying burdens on their shoulders, coming and going on the street, shouting one after another.

Xun Ma sat up straight, "I heard that the Tea Horse Department has harvested a lot of official tea in the past two years, but not many good horses have been replaced. In addition, private tea has been banned repeatedly, and a lot of official tea is kept in the warehouse. Due to poor preservation, Good tea can only be sold as medium tea and bad tea.”

"Then why not transport the inferior tea to the Fanbu and exchange it with the Fan people for the inferior horse?"

"Some good tea grows in the dense forests in the mountains, and idlers can't get in, and I don't know where they are scattered. Only the Yi people who have lived there for generations can get it. We have had a good relationship with the mountain people in recent years. good."

"So, that's pretty good."

"He is the flesh that fell from my body. Of course I always remember my son. When you get married and have children, you will be the same as me."

After everyone finished eating, they fed the horses and rested. Huo Xi asked Xun Wu: "In the past, the Tea Horse Department would call tea merchants to sell the tea in the warehouse at a low price?"

Yibang County has a tea horse department, and the streets are very lively.

In today's life, freedom and comfort, having a wife, a son and a home, being away during the day and worrying about it, and going home at night to sleep soundly is enough.

The mountain road is rugged, and sometimes you have to walk down when you encounter ravines.So at noon on the third day, the group finally arrived at Yibang County.

No one knows how long he has struggled in the dark, but he just hopes to live in the sun, to be like ordinary people, to have a home, to live a normal life, and to have nothing else to ask for.

Huo Xi looked at the carriage carrying tea in the team, "Where did we collect tea in previous years? Maybe we received good tea?"

Everyone entered the inn, Kun Si booked the guest room earlier, and everyone settled down.

Huo Xi quite understood Zhuifeng's thoughts.

"There is a tea and horse department here, and people of Yi nationality often pick tea and sell it, and exchange various livestock for daily miscellaneous uses. The surrounding Fan (Tibetan) tribes will also lead cattle, horses and sheep, and bring their tsampa, tsampa, Ghee and furs of various colors are exchanged for tea, cloth, salt, daily miscellaneous and medicinal materials, etc., which is very lively."

Huo Xi understood.

"Ma'am, it's so lively here! There are everything for sale!" Xiang Cao and the others couldn't take their eyes off it.

"Let's go to the inn first, there are too many people here, if you are taken to the mountains to be your wives, you will not be found in the high mountains and deep forests." Xun Wu frightened Qiushuang's unmarried girls.

"Madam is still thoughtful. I just happened to see if there is anything interesting and useful. I bought it for my family Rouge and sent it back."

"That's good."

"Yes, my subordinates will keep this in mind. The prince often orders the same. Everyone dare not disobey."

"It's better not to look down on Chinese horses and inferior ones. Besides, I still want to recruit tea merchants to transport good tea to replace Chinese tea with inferior tea, and the tea merchants need them. The tea horse department will exchange the inferior tea with Chinese tea merchants, this price is much better than shipping to Fanbu.”

Huo Xi nodded, "The Yi tribes in the mountains are also people under the jurisdiction of our Mu Mansion. When collecting tea, you need to tell the staff in charge not to bully the people in the name of the prince."

One is that the local tea merchants want to do business under the eyes of the tea horses, and if they ask for them, they can sell another piece of tea in terms of price. The second is to call tea merchants to transport good tea to collect official tea.It is also to protect the face of the imperial court by not transporting inferior Chinese tea to Fanbu.

Everyone was terrified, and hurriedly moved to the side of the third class Zhufenggan.

Chasing the wind shook his head and smiled.

"In the original tea-horse market, only tea and horses were traded. Later, Fan people and Yi people came out rarely, and would bring all kinds of things in exchange for what they needed, so a special trading place was set aside, at There is a big market on the East Street, which sells everything. It is very lively every fifth day of the month, and it happens to be the fifteenth day after tomorrow, so we can go and see the excitement."

Mama Ma scolded a few words, "Let's go to the inn first to put down our luggage, so that others will patronize us on the way."

Mu Lin, who was born to Mu Jun, was half a year younger than Xiao Yuer. Thinking of his son, he rode beside Mu Yan and asked Mu Yan about Xiao Yuer's situation.

The two rode in front of the team, and when it came to their son, they both had a lot to talk about.Mu Yan is usually like an iceberg, it is rare to say a word, but when it comes to his son, he is willing to say a few more words.

But Mu Xi and Mu Zhan couldn't understand that Huo Xi left the child behind and came here only to find her husband.

"Women should stay at home to take charge of the family and take care of the family. Although there are a lot of women in Yunnan, Mu Yan, you are not short of money. I heard that your wife has started a business in Kunming City with great fanfare."

Mu Yan gently reined in the rein, and looked back at Mu Zhan.
