Chapter 85

Nanzhang standard bank.

Looking at the empty handed return of more and more gentry and merchants, Guo Biao's urine was about to come out.

Because he has sent people twice, but everything has been returned completely. How can he not be in a hurry?

"Guo Zhi, did you see the Xiaohua king this time?"

"I saw the master, and the other party was very polite. He gave me a cup of tea. He just said that he wanted the master to go there in person. It doesn't matter whether there were gifts or not." The big disciple on one side replied honestly.

"If you are courteous, you will steal! It seems that Xiaohua Wang is not as arrogant and reckless as he appears! " Guo Biao touched his beard and looked dignified.

At this time, Guo Qing rushed in from the door and said angrily, "Dad, are you old and confused? Did you send someone to give gifts to the Xiaohua king? "

"You... How dare you scold dad for being stupid? I'll kill you, a dead girl... "

"Sir, what are you doing?"

"Why don't you just kill both of us? Now the business is in a slump. That group of thieves not only caught Qing'er, but also wounded several disciples last time. You have to spend money to make peace?"

Guo Qing followed her neck, but Mrs. Guo rushed up from behind and protected her daughter.

"You woman, what do people know?"

"Is Guo Biao the only one in Nanzhang County who is timid and afraid of those petty thieves? Tell you two, the last time I sent someone, almost none of them didn't give gifts and make amends. "

"Ah! This... Are they all crazy? "

"Dad, they want to farm. We don't want to go out of the city to farm. What are you afraid of the thieves doing? Can they still fight into the city with their little people? "

Mrs. Guo opened her mouth in surprise, but Guo Qing looked despised and disdained.

"We really don't have to farm, but we have to take the standard to transport goods. It's the so-called fear of thieves and thieves. Now we are concerned by the Xiaohua king. Alas!"

Guo Biao said finally and sighed on his back.

"Sir, what happened?"

Seeing that her master was so worried, Mrs. Guo couldn't help worrying. She also heard about the fate of the Qian family.

So she's still afraid of those little thieves. She doesn't want to be old and have to warm their beds one day.

Guo Biao sighed again and explained the rejection.

"It's so hateful. It's deceptive!" Guo Qing's teeth suddenly clenched.

"Master, you mustn't go. If you have something wrong, how can we live together?"

"What are you crying for? I'm not dead yet. I'll take care of it myself. Go back to my room. No one is allowed to take a step inside in the future. "

Seeing that he was really angry, the mother and daughter were also a little afraid and obediently returned to the inner house.

But Guo Biao was pacing back and forth in the hall.

As he travels around all year round, he knows more about the situation in various places than those gentry and landlords.

Although Nanzhang county is tall, it may not be able to stop the thief army.

Finally, I clenched my teeth and decided to go there secretly, otherwise I'm afraid I won't do business in the future.

The only thing to worry about is that Liu Xiaotian will hate him when he learns.

After all, the last time he helped himself out, now he came to visit in person, no doubt beating him in the face.

But as the saying goes, it's better to offend a gentleman than a villain. The harm of the two powers is the lesser. He thinks that the king of Xiaohua is much more threatening than Liu Xiaotian.

……

Guo Biao also chose to go in the evening. He only took two disciples and covered his face. It can be seen how cautious he was.

"King Qin, the last time he caused a lot of trouble to your village because of his little daughter, and because the county magistrate forced him hard, Guo had to send someone to participate in the previous two events. Today, he specially came to apologize. I hope..."

"Ah! It's important, it's important! "

"Unexpectedly, lead escort Guo came in person. His previous unhappiness was written off. No one is allowed to mention it again. How about it?"

"Then thank you, Lord Qin. Guo is very grateful!"

Guo Biao hurriedly hugged Kungfu and looked at Qin Huan, who was only 14 or 15 years old. He was surprised and filled with emotion.

"Escort Guo, it is said that the business of your escort agency is not very prosperous now? I wonder if it's true. When was your escort agency founded? "

Qin Huan was interested in the escort agency in the late Ming Dynasty. He wanted to know how the ancient express company developed.

"Let King Qin laugh. Guo is a rough man. He can't do anything except boxing. When he was young, he liked to make friends with some Jianghu people. Later, he opened a martial arts school in Nanzhang city to make a living.

A few years ago, the world became more and more unstable. Some merchants saw that Guo and his disciples were good at boxing and foot skills and were quite familiar with their friends on the road, so they hired Guo and his disciples to accompany them.

Gradually, those merchants felt troublesome and simply asked Guo to escort them alone, which formed today's standard bank. However, in the past two years, the North has been in chaos, and the business has also plummeted. "

"I see!"

Qin Huan nodded, then directly opened the door to the mountain: "this time we invite escort Guo to buy something for us."

"I don't know what king Qin wants to buy?"

Guo Biao is also a bachelor. He had already guessed that this would be the case. He chose to come and didn't bother to talk nonsense.

"OK, escort Guo is really quick talking. My king likes doing business with cheerful people. I don't have many items to buy, just three.

First, the more sulfur, the better. I will be 20% more than the market price. Second, copper, also 20% higher than the market price. How much is needed. Third, for small beggars or orphans aged 14 to 16, the more, the better. "

"Is king Qin serious?"

When Guo Biao heard the last, he was so surprised that he stood up.

The little king is not surprised to buy sulfur. These thieves are equipped with a lot of firearms and know how to prepare gunpowder.

Although it's ridiculous to buy a bronze cannon, the little king himself has some demons, and he can accept it.

To his surprise, he was willing to pay 20% higher than the market price. What shocked him more was that he was an orphan and a little beggar.

"I've always been honest with both the old and the young in my work. If lead escort Guo doesn't trust me, I can pay you a deposit of 1000 Liang. What about it?" Qin Huan waved his hand.

"King Qin's reputation is naturally believed by Guo." Guo Biao was very happy in his heart, but his face was calm and hurried to answer.

Immediately, they discussed the details and place of delivery, and Guo Biao left.

Seeing that Qin Huan was more thoughtful than himself, Guo Biao was relieved and admired him.

Qin Huan also waved his hand and gave him a deposit of 3000 Liang silver. After all, the silver piled up in the warehouse is a pile of stones.

As long as he can buy what he needs urgently, it doesn't matter if the price is a little expensive. If there is no silver, just go and raise it.
