Under the dazzling sunshine, the silver-covered world shines with golden light, making people dazzled.

The group walked in the dense snow forests of Youyu County. The road was slippery, but everyone was in high spirits.

These are all caravans who went to Jiangnan in the Spring Festival. The Jin people were outside the business and traveling back and forth in a year was a common thing. Zhai Zhe did not see Liu Quan in Datong, so he sent a message, asking him to visit his relatives in his hometown first. Most of the caravans were from the Liu clan, and they happened to be together.

Youyu County does not have the spacious official road as wide as Datong. After walking for two days, I finally saw a village on the distant mountainside.

Seeing Mr. Liu leaning on a crutch at the entrance of the village, his hair and beard were white, Liu Quan's nose almost fell out of tears. Behind the old man were his wife, Wangshi Liu and his five-year-old son, Liu Taihan.

Liu Quan walked to the old man, and said choked and said, "Dad!"

"Just come back and talk to the house." The old man wiped his face and stopped showing his affection in front of many villagers.

"Call dad!" Liu Wangshi pulled out her son Taihan, but Xiao Taihan shrank and leaned into her arms. Her father, who had not seen for a year, looked like a stranger.

He reached out and touched Xiao Taihan's head. Liu Quan sighed in his heart. It was said that many Jin people were rich in business, but they did not know the difficulties and obstacles. He had a big family like him. He founded a leading business name for Shanxi merchants. He still had to travel north and south and could not go home in a year. Some of the guys who went out of the Great Wall could not go home once in three or five years, and the songs that went to the west sang the sadness of Jin people.

Liu Wang took her son behind Liu Quan. She was a typical virtuous and virtuous woman among the Han people. She was frugal and obedient on weekdays and was highly respected in the Liu family.

Everyone entered the main hall to settle down. The old man coughed repeatedly and then said: "You are not at home, and you are in great relief to the care of the cavalry in Zhujia Village, informing you and expelling the bandits. I was worried for the past six months and finally came over it smoothly." This year, he has aged a lot.

Liu Quan stood up and said, "That is the guard in his son's business."

The old man leaned on the chair, gasped for a while, and said, "I want to thank them too. Dexiangkui is the family business I have created in decades. Although I have changed the signboard in your hand, the Liu family has been booming and finally overwhelmed the families in Shahukou. I feel very relieved. Your heart is very big, but I want to warn you that the business world is ups and downs, and you should have a sense of awe. In recent years, many merchants from Jindi have disappeared overnight."

Liu Quan took the steaming tea bowl from his servant, carefully served it with both hands, and responded: "What Dad taught me."

The old man took it and put it on the table, shook his head and said, "Look, Taihan doesn't recognize you anymore. I didn't return to you for two years back then. I'll spend more time at home these days."

"Yes!" Liu Quan nodded.

"What makes this child study hard is that he won't have to work as hard as you and me when he gets a Jinshi in the future."

If you are good at business, you will be a good official. No matter how much money you make these days, you still have no status.

Liu Quan was busy for several days. He first paid a visit to the God of Wealth, and then went to the family ancestral hall to pay homage to his ancestors, begging for the prosperity of business and the safety of the caravan in the coming year.

Three days later, the weather was clear every day, and thirty or forty cavalry came slowly on the road in front of Liujiazhuang.

Jin has been in chaos for many years, and those with strength in each village have set up villages to protect themselves, and some people have long reported it to the village.

"The people from Zhujia Village are here!" The people who came were already familiar with each other, and someone shouted at the entrance of the village.

There are quite a few people in Liujiazhuang and they are quite capable after establishing a village for self-protection. However, after all, they are just people talking about war on paper. When bandits attack, they are inevitably panic. The cavalry of Zhujiazhuang is a strong man, and they are also a desperate person recruited by Geng Guang. The bandits usually avoid it, and these days they have become the support of Liujiazhuang.

After hearing the news, Mr. Liu urged Liu Quan to come and greet him. The war was deserted for half a year.

C is in chaos, and these people are relieved.

When Liu Quan arrived at the entrance of the village, Zhu San and others had already dismounted.

The bold child leaned forward and sneaked into the smooth and shiny skin of the war horse, with envious eyes.

Liu Quan's eyes extended, and suddenly saw Zhai Zhe's figure from the cavalry team. He was shocked and quickly stepped forward and greeted, "Boss, why are you here?"

Zhai Zhe mixed in the cavalry and looked around, waved his hand at him, signaling him not to speak out.

A clan elder came to arrange for people from all households to receive them.

Zhu San smiled and said, "The Tartars retreated, and Youyu is safe. This time I am here to inform you. We will not bother you again in the future."

An elderly clan elder stepped forward to hold his hand, and said in tears: "Thanks to you these days!"

The willow in the crowd was full of confusion. Zhai Zhe suddenly visited Liujiazhuang and made him uneasy, which must have been related to the shops in Zhangjiakou.

The Liu family is the richest rich man in Liujiazhuang, with an outstanding status. Many tribesmen relied on the business alliance to live. The Liu family's mansion has a spacious courtyard with three floors inside and three floors outside, four flat and all the square corners of the hooked eaves are exquisite, and many bricks and tiles are brand new, and they have only been built for a short time.

Among the noisy crowd, Liu Quan quietly introduced Zhai Zhe into his study.

"Liu Dong's family went to Jiangnan to work hard. I just returned home. According to the truth, I shouldn't have bothered you, but I can't rest assured that there is something I don't want to worry about. If I don't ask clearly, I will be unable to sleep or eat."

Liu Quan knew why Zhai Yan came.

Zhai Zhe looked at him like a torch and asked, "What kind of bargaining chips did the Eight Great Masters open?"

Liu Quanping calmed down and said: "The Business Alliance shared naturalization with the Eight Great Masters."

It is consistent with what Fan Yongdou said to Zhai Zhe.

"Don't you know what it means to enter Zhangjiakou?" Zhai Zhe's words became stern and said, "I thought you were a unique person, so I cooperated with you, but you disappointed me."

"I'm just running a business alliance. There is no difference between selling goods into the grassland through Zhangjiakou or naturalization." Liu Quan tried his best to defend himself, not thinking that he had done anything wrong.

"No need to make sweet talk. A real man does something and does not do anything, and some money cannot be made! \u2

"That's just business!" Liu Quan's voice was a little unconfident.

"Have you ever seen Datong under the Jurchens?" Zhai Zhe was furious and slapped the table with a palm.

The boss's formidable aura suffocated Liu Quan and also uncovered the scars in his heart. He was a lover of his hometown, otherwise he would not have provided disaster relief in Youyu. The return to Datong along the way was uninhabited. This was his first time to see the power of the Jurchens.

"You will understand if you have to be robbed by the Jurchens? I have lived there for ten years and entered Zhangjiakou, so how can you let you be free?" Zhai Yan's tone became gentle. The Shang Alliance cannot do without Liu Quan. The situation on the grassland made him no longer time to start a new job. If he finds a partner, he may not be able to escape the clutches of the Eight Great Masters.

Liu fully showed his pain.

"Liu Dong Family, the Shang Alliance is owned by you and me. If I leave you, life will continue. If you leave me, how could those people in Zhangjiakou tolerate you? Some things cannot be touched. If I am willing to cooperate with the Eight Great Masters, what else can you do?"

Zhai Zhe's spitting star almost spitted on Liu Quan's face.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Quan looked up and said, "I was wrong and I don't understand the boss's mind."

"Now you know, I hope your cooperation will have a beginning and an end." Zhai Zhe pointed out the window and said, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been able to build such a gorgeous house. I can give you and take back these things!"

Liu Quan showed fear. This was the first time Zhai Zhe threatened him. The serious imbalance in strength made the rights of both parties in the cooperation unable to be equal. Only then did he understand why Zhai Zhe must be completely in charge of the caravan guards. How could Tumot's Han army allow him to be half-hearted?

On that day, the cavalry from the Zhujia Village left, and Liu Quan went to the entrance of the village to see him off, and Zhai Zhe looked kind and happy.

Zhai Zhe accompanied the well-equipped cavalry to suddenly visit Liu Quan already understood the meaning of the sudden visit. He chose this path and could only keep going.

He had already bet without turning back when he opened the bow, which was no different from the eight masters of Zhangjiakou.
