As the dishes and wine began to be served, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious. Everyone first praised the Anmin League for its contribution to the town, and then expressed deep admiration for Sect Leader Qin's arrangement and dispatch of the project. That must be a skill that only one who deeply understands the essence of Mohist philosophy can have. In the face of their imaginary praise, Qin Qiong himself began to believe that he really did have some skills!

After several toasts, Jia Sicheng finally sat next to Qin Qiong.

He drank a lot, but when he spoke to Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong saw on his face the eyes of those "bad guys" in TV dramas, that is, the look of submission with bad intentions.

"Master Qin, as soon as I saw you, I knew you were a capable person. This is a huge project, and you have been working on it every year for many years. Our family has paid for it every year, but the result is... Oh! I won't say more. I admire you, I really admire you!"

Qin Qiong smiled and waited...

"Today, we actually have something we want to entrust to your alliance, so we asked Mr. Guo and Mr. He to introduce me to you. It's really better to meet you in person than to hear about you!"

"After seeing this, Sect Master Qin, I believe it! I am 100% confident leaving this matter in your hands!"

Jia Sicheng seemed to be speaking sincerely, and he waved his hands to show his certainty and eagerness.

Qin Qiong didn't say anything. She could wait. She thought this guy might have more than just these tricks.

Mr. Gao at the side quickly took it.

He asked, "Thank you, Boss Jia, for your kindness, but what kind of business is this? Can you tell me more about it?"

"Master Qin, please don't be polite. When you agreed to change the river course, what kind of courage did you show? What kind of guts did you have? It's not something that ordinary people can do. Ask everyone, who wouldn't praise you, Master Qin, for your loyalty, bravery, chivalry, and kindness?"

Jia Sicheng ignored Mr. Gao and continued talking to Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong smiled even more brightly. At the same time, he turned around and glanced at the people at the table. Everyone was a little proud. After hearing what Fatty Jia said, they all nodded in agreement, with a calm expression on their faces.

'It seems that these people are not likely to be accomplices,' Qin Qiong thought to himself.

"Boss Jia, what are you talking about? If you have something to say, please speak up!"

Qin Qiong stretched out his hand to stop Mr. Gao from speaking, and spoke to the fat man generously.

"Grandiose! Sect Master Qin, I knew you were a man with vision! Let me toast you again!"

"You must! Drink!"

Both of them drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp.

Qin Qiong said generously: "Tell me, what is it! As long as I can do it, I will do it for you!"

"it is good!"

Fatty Jia gave Qin Qiong a thumbs up.

"It's like this. Sect Master Qin knows that our Tuo Town was built on the trade route. But later on, alas! This trade route became increasingly difficult to navigate."

"However, fortunately, God still left us with the opportunity to make a living. We can still go there once or twice a year. Everyone knows this. But this road is not easy to walk on..."

"Is there anything I can do?"

"I just want to ask for help, Sect Master! Every time we go, we bring a lot of goods with us. There are a lot of cars, boxes and other things. But you know that this mountain road is not easy to travel on. At least half of the cars break down on the road every time."

"We have to buy new ones when we get there, but in fact, the wheels of those cars are just broken. But, we are businessmen, there is nothing we can do!"

"We have thought about hiring a specialized craftsman before, but you know, this caravan is made up of several companies, and each company's goods are different, so we can't hire one."

"It just so happens that your sect is a sect that produces skilled craftsmen. This time, we would like to ask your sect to send three craftsmen to form a caravan with us. If this trip goes well, your sect's income will definitely be much greater than that of some academy or bathing school, right?"

"Hey, don't you guys not hire craftsmen? Why do you need three at once?"

"This... is not an invitation, but a request for you to go with us and do business with us."

"...I don't understand? What do you mean?"

"Master Qin, Boss Jia's idea is that the Anmin League can also send out a caravan to go with the big caravan."

A man nearby who was going to go on a business trip with Boss Jia was busy explaining to Qin Qiong.

"Usually, to join the Jia family's caravan, each team has to pay a fee per person, and the goods they carry cannot conflict with other goods in the caravan. But if your clan has this craftsman, then Boss Jia will not ask about the goods in your caravan, and will charge you three fewer people's fees."

"Actually, let's not talk about anything else. If you just collect some food and transport it over, you can get a lot of good things in return. So, haha... Sect Master Qin, when I say I'm asking for your help, I'm actually giving you a way to make a fortune."

The man said this very proudly.

Qin Qiong looked as if she didn't understand yet, and turned to look at Mr. Gao and Uncle Qin. Uncle Qin was very happy and nodded to her, but Mr. Gao was just as hesitant as she was.

"Master Qin, you don't know that this town was founded on this trade route. Many of the grains and products here were sold along the trade route. The merchants who came and went made this town extremely prosperous. But later..."

"Fortunately, the Jia family can still go there twice a year. Otherwise, if they only focus on agriculture, they will have to wait until the ore is mined... Moreover, the profits from this business route are indeed lucrative, although every year some people cannot come back."

"But as long as you go there once, you can buy a house and land when you come back. So, it's really a blessing to be able to catch Boss Jia's caravan."

The prisoner official whom Qin Qiong had just met also told him sincerely.

"Then, our caravan only has three people for free? Moreover, we must also be responsible for the repairs of the entire caravan's vehicles?!"

Qin Qiong asked in a very stingy tone.

"Master Qin! This is already my biggest concession. You don't know how many people out there want to join this caravan!"

"But this is the business path, and the business path is the path to wealth. How can everyone have a chance? Go and ask, how many of the other caravans can come back? Only our Jia family's caravan is fine every year. This requires a lot of money to hire people. This money should be shared by everyone. Don't you think it's right?"

Fatty Jia pointed at Qin Qiong and said, very annoyed at Qin Qiong's ignorance.

"That's right, but, but we have never been on this trade route, and we don't know which way to go."

Qin Qiong showed some compliments at this time.

"Don't worry. This is your first time transporting food. Just collect it in this town. I promise! If you can't get it out there, I will collect it all. And I will still pay you the price there. Don't worry! We are all from the same town. I won't let you down."

Fatty Jia immediately gave his guarantee, patting his chest loudly.

"Then... how much silver will each of these extra people cost?"

Qin Qiong still asked in a low voice.

"Normal, 100 silver per person"

"So many! We... may not be able to come up with so much."

Qin Qiong lowered his head and said with grievance.
