The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 181

Fu Quan and others, who went out of the province to do business for the first time, also returned to Rongshu Village just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

I haven't seen him for more than three months. Fu Quan has become darker and thinner, but his energy is stronger than ever. Looking at his appearance, you can tell that this trip has been very rewarding. It doesn't just mean money, but also experience. After seeing the outside world, my vision has broadened and my mind is more lively than before.

Fu Quan told Fu Shi and He Tao about his experience this time.

After arriving in the South, Fu Quan was unlucky at the beginning of his career. The first seller he met bullied him because he was an inexperienced and foreigner, and sold him low-quality goods as high-quality goods. By the time you figure out the tricks, it's too late to clear the money.

Qianglong doesn't overwhelm the top snake, let alone a novice with no foundation, he can only admit defeat.Fortunately, this batch of goods was not much, and only lost the price difference of 200 taels of silver.

After Fu Quan suffered a loss, he acted more cautiously. Instead of continuing to receive goods, he started "market research" first, found a few local officials as intermediaries, and told them what he wanted and how much he wanted. Now, let them introduce the source of goods respectively.While slowly sorting out the news that the dental man handed over, he himself did not go to the teahouse near the commercial street to drink tea for a day, pretending to be a retail investor to go shopping in the store to check, and after cross-comparing, he settled on two well-known and reliable merchants. , When I was ready, I came to discuss business.

After receiving the goods, I was ready to go home, but when I chartered a ship to transport the goods, I was taxed by the officials, and was blackmailed by the little boss of the Cao Gang, who threw out 300 taels of silver again and again.After finally renting a boat, the boatman said that because Shunan Prefecture is mountainous and there is no large wharf, merchant ships can only dock at Jinxi Prefecture, and then they have to find a carriage to transport goods back to Shunan Prefecture.After comparing the cost, time and practicality of water transportation and land transportation, Fu Quan decided to take the boat.

Originally, he thought this would be the last troublesome thing on this trip, but just after he entered Shunan Mansion, he encountered a group of grassroots bandits. Rao, the escorts he hired were highly skilled in martial arts and experienced in many battles. However, the other party had a large number of people, and in the end, two carts of silk were robbed, and nearly 500 taels were lost.

Fortunately, there were no casualties, and the remaining goods were quickly snapped up by various shops after they were shipped back to Fucheng.

In short, this trip was not all smooth sailing, but the ending was not satisfactory.

Fu Quan said with emotion: "...I calculated, this trip, more than three months, if you add the money that was cheated, there will be a total of more than 300 taels of silver. No wonder the merchants There are so many people here, the profit in the middle is really considerable!"

He Tao said: "Although the profit is high, the risk is even higher!"

He Tao really couldn't understand Fu Quan's thoughts. Being tricked and blackmailed could barely be regarded as trivial matters, but the last case of encountering bandits was a big deal. Is money important?This time only two trucks were lost, but what about the next time?In case of encountering a group of more vicious bandits next time, let alone the goods, they might even lose their lives!
Fu Quan smiled. Women are timid. He turned his head and asked Fu Shi: "Brother Shi, do you want to continue with Second Uncle? I see that this business can last for a long time..."

He Tao also turned to look at Fu Shi, thinking about what he was thinking.

Fu Shi smiled and said: "Forget it, I'm not a business material at all. Besides, I think this is pretty good now, Second Uncle, you see, I'm living the life of a landlord now, with several mansions My son, I still have servants at home, I think it is enough."

"Okay, as long as you think this is good." Fu Quan was a little disappointed.

He wanted to lead the juniors in his family to fight, and add a business that could last for a long time to Fu's family, not only to protect the wealth of one generation, but also to ensure that future generations can live comfortably.However, since his nephew was content with the status quo, he couldn't say anything.Anyway, as Fu Shi himself said, he is not suitable for business and has a straightforward temper, so he really can't help.

He Tao breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that Fu Shi would respond.

"Second Uncle, let's go. I'll take you to see those forty people!" Fu Shi stood up. Although he couldn't directly help with business, he was confident that the guards he trained would not be inferior to those bodyguards. In the future, the second uncle will not be afraid of bandits and grassroots bandits when he takes these people out to run business, even if he has tried his best.

"Okay, let's go and have a look!" Fu Quan also stood up.He was also very curious about what the group of absenteeism looked like now.

Jushiwei can now be described as a shotgun change. Everyone is equipped with horses, bows and arrows, long spears, and short knives. After being fully equipped, the momentum is no less than any regular sergeant Fu Quan has seen, and even won a lot. Very satisfied.

Fu Shi gestured to the four captains: "You guys arrange it, let your boss see what you have learned!"

Jushiwei first performed a group boxing, and then he fought alone, competing in boxing, swordsmanship, marksmanship, shooting, and riding. Eighteen kinds of martial arts took turns to play. Even if Fu Quan didn't know martial arts, he was completely conquered .

He stroked his beard and said excitedly: "Brother Shi, you told me before that you saved the general on the battlefield. I didn't believe it at that time, but I have to believe it just like this group of people!"

Fu Shi said with a smile: "It's just a start now. Come back in half a year, it will be different from now."

"It's right to put this group of people in your hands! With these people here, I will still be afraid of a bandit in the future!"

"I don't dare to say anything else. It's okay to deal with the little bandits now." Fu Shi said proudly, and then whispered: "Second Uncle, I plan to take them to fight in a few days... "

Fu Quan also lowered his voice and asked, "What do you mean by doing one vote?"

Sounds a bit like robbing a house?
"Bandit!"

"Ah?!" Fu Quan raised his head suddenly, with a look of disbelief on his face: "You mean you want to trouble the bandits? Is this necessary? I think they are very good, I have seen bandits , there are even those who hold hoes, and our people will definitely be fine if they meet them."

Fu Shidao: "Soldiers who have never seen blood are not real soldiers! They will fight bandits in the future. I will take them to try my hand now. Now I can make up for it if I miss it. If you bring them Watch them, it will be too late if there is an accident!"

Fu Quan didn't object anymore, he just patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then you have to be careful, don't hurt yourself."

At night, when He Tao and Fu Shi were alone, she said to him, "To be honest, I thought you wanted to go with Second Uncle!"

Men, after all, are somewhat ambitious. Fu Shi is fundamentally a bit machismo. He has also expressed his desire to "make contributions" before. He has always been very concerned that he has not made money. It seems to be eating soft food. Before starting to train Jushiwei, Fu Shi has been looking for sellers everywhere, and added several real estates such as farms and shops to his family.

Fu Shi said: "You definitely don't want me to go, right?"

He Tao nodded. Leaving aside the dangers she might encounter while running a business, she just said that it would take several months to go out for a trip, which she found unacceptable.She always felt that Fu Shi was not around, so she felt very insecure.

She asked, "Is it because I don't want you to go, so you didn't go?"

It seems that it has always been like this between them, her wishes have always been above his, and he is willing to be suppressed by her, putting her first in everything.

He Tao suddenly felt that he was going too far.

She added weakly, "If, if you want to go, you can go, you don't have to give in to me for everything..."

Fu Shi shook his head and said, "It's one thing that you don't want to, and I don't particularly want to go. I don't want to leave your wives and daughters-in-law, do you remember that I promised you before that I will never go into business again. gone."

Of course, He Tao remembered that last year Fu Shi took Nianzu and the others out to sell hot sauce, and when they came back, they also met a thief, and Fu Shi was slightly injured. This is how they ended the hot sauce business.

Fu Shi stretched out his hand to cover He Tao's swollen belly, and said in a low voice, "For me, nothing in this world is more important than being with your mothers, and nothing else matters..."

He Tao put his hands on Fu Shi's face, and said with a smile, "I think so too. I just want our family to live a happy and stable life."

Fu Shi suddenly remembered his plan to fight bandits to practice, he coughed, and said cautiously: "By the way, daughter-in-law, well, I have something, um, I want to discuss it with you..."

"You said."

"I plan to take the Giant Stone Guard out, um, to hunt!"

"Hunting?" He Tao blinked and took forty people to hunt?She said, "Are you going to hunt tigers?"

Fu Shi laughed dryly, what did you say, just now he said he wanted to live a peaceful life, he opened his mouth, swallowed dryly again, finally coughed lightly and said: "Well, I don't want to beat tigers, I will , I'm going to hunt bandits..."

He Tao sat up straight, widened his eyes and asked, "Are you going to avenge Second Uncle?"

"no……"

"Then what are you going to do if you don't have anything to do?" He Tao felt baffled, could it be that he was full of justice and became a vigilante?Think of yourself as a superhero like Superman or Iron Man?
"I'm going to train."

"Training?" He Tao finally understood his plan, she kicked him viciously: "You bastard!"

Fu Shi didn't expect He Tao's reaction to be so great.

He Tao herself didn't expect that she had just thought that she would support Fu Shi in whatever he did, but the point is that the contrast is too great!

Just now, he said to her affectionately, "I promised you before, I will never run a business again", which moved her to a mess. In the blink of an eye, he has to find something to go to the mountain again. Thief!
She would rather he go to run a business, there is still a chance that nothing will happen if he runs a business, he is going for it now!
"Bastard!" He Tao scratched him vigorously.

Fu Shi accepted it silently.

She bit her lip, and after taking a few breaths, she asked him again: "When did you make up your mind? Why didn't you tell me before?"

Fu Shi shook his head and said in a low voice: "I was thinking about this a few days ago, but I didn't make a final decision. Didn't the second uncle come back today, and it happened to be about the bandit, so I just remembered it , daughter-in-law, I didn't mean not to tell you. If you don't go like me, I won't go. "

Seeing him like this, He Tao felt that he was quite pitiful. A big man was always treated like a bitch by her.

"Stone."

"Hey……"

"Go ahead!"

"Hey?!" Fu Shi looked up at her, did he miss a word "death" in this sentence?Is the daughter-in-law scolding him "Go to hell"?

He Tao took a deep breath and said, "I don't want to control you, I also want you to do what you like. However, even if what you like is right and reasonable, it may not be I will also like it, and I will even find it very annoying, is it normal for me to be angry at this time?"

Fu Shi nodded: "Normal!"

"But, I don't want you to force yourself to do everything just because I'm angry..."

Fu Shi hurriedly explained: "I didn't force it, daughter-in-law, I did it voluntarily."

He is indeed voluntary, what can't he do for his daughter-in-law? !
"You've been making do with me all the time. I don't want you to be like this all the time, and I hope you can do what you like. You can go to military training, as long as you can keep yourself safe..." He Tao held him tightly The hand wants to promise: "I hope you can come back to me intact, can you guarantee this?"

Fu Shi really wanted to say that a sword has no eyes, and there is no absolute on the "battlefield", but looking at He Tao's shining eyes, he nodded in a mysterious way: "I promise."

"That's good." He Tao smiled.

Fu Shi looked into her crooked eyes and thought in his heart that he would definitely return to her side intact, and this would be his last adventure!
