C3403 Lanzhou has a caravan (1/2)

September, Lanzhou City had a very ordinary caravan. During the war, the intelligent merchants of Great Qing always wanted to try their luck. Although the war brought danger, it also brought business opportunities.

Needless to say, the price of the salt, iron, and cloth products of the Central Plains had increased several times over in Xinjiang.

At this time, if anyone could smuggle a team over, their profits would be at least ten times more!

They were not only selling things to earn money, they would also be worth a lot of jade from the Southern Wilderness!

Yaqub blocked the trading road, causing the people of the Central Plains who loved Tian Yu to suddenly lose their source of goods. It had already been five years since a new jade ore had been listed on the market, forcing all of Great Qing's jade workshops to use even lower quality jade stones.

Chinese people have a long history of playing with jade, but in the hearts of the most literate people, there are only two types of jade. One is the Karakorum Jade and the other is other types of Jade.

Mount Kunlun was the dragon vein of the Central Plains, the ancestor of ten thousand mountains! The highest quality white jade made of mutton fat was produced here. Furthermore, thousands of years of myths and colors had given the jade of Mount Kunlun the ability to communicate with spirits.

It didn't matter if it was real or fake. In any case, a scholar had been eating this for thousands of years. Even a placebo was addicting!

At this critical juncture, anyone who could smuggle white jade with goat fat out of the Southern Wilderness would earn a hundred times more!

However, this kind of business was not something that could be done by an ordinary person. Without black and white eyes, one could forget about other people's business!

Businessmen were just a bunch of houseflies. They would fly wherever they could profit from. The Western Regions where the trading routes were cut off was considered a land of death in the eyes of ordinary people. However, in the eyes of merchants, it was a land of opportunity.

Countless of merchants had come here in the name of giving Zuo Zongtang supplies. They all wanted to have a chance, a chance to win with their lives.

Back when they were sailing in Europe, they even dared to enter the Deep Blue Ocean for money. Wasn't that just tying their heads on their belt? Actually, the courage of Chinese businessmen is not small, it depends on whether the policy allows or not!

As the chaos surrounding Gan Shan was gradually levelled up by Zuo Zongtang's army, and as the area for recovery expanded, the merchants of the entire Great Qing Empire followed closely behind.

The caravan had brought countless military supplies as well as everything else they needed for the reconstruction of the region.

From needlepoint to cattle, sheep, livestock, cooking pot to grass climbing plow... After the war, the people were penniless, and the magistrate's important duty was to resume production.

These Central Plains commodities quickly flooded up, and in a short period of time, a scene of flourishing business appeared.

After Gan Shan had calmed down, all the thieves had fled to the west of the Stellar Gorge. Zuo Zongtang's Marshal Xing Yuan had officially entered the Golden Province, which was the Lanzhou near the Yellow River.

Naturally, the caravan would not let go of this opportunity to do business. In an instant, the northwest small city was filled with all sorts of businesses.

But they never would have thought that after staying in the Jin Prefecture for only three days, there would be a shopkeeper who would find Liu Jintang and deliver a large bag along with a letter personally written by the red-roofed merchant, Hu Xueyan.

Hu Xueyan was the number one God of Fortune under Zuo Zongtang's command. Although Hu Xueyan worked for the Xiang Army, but the Xiang Army's power was too great, and all the Gods there had their own contradictions with each other. Naturally, they would be separated from the other faction.

However, Hu Xueyan and Zuo Zongtang were allies, most of the Western Army's military assets were raised by Hu Xueyan!

With the red-crowned merchant's letter of introduction, Liu Jintang had to take a look at the person who came, but he never would have thought that upon seeing the big shot of the caravan, the wild and unruly General, the God of Death who had killed so many people, would directly kneel down.
