Transformed into a furry person, I am doing public relations in the Northern Song Dynasty

"If you take this business, Dalang, in addition to the money I'll pay for your employment, I'll also take care of your food and drink along the way. You can also calculate the food and fodder for the horse, and I'll give it all to you."

Peng Dalang did not make an offer first. After thinking for a while, he took Liu Yunqing to see the car.

"We can pay you when we get back. When we escort the goods, we always ask people to see that the goods are intact before we discuss the payment. If anything happens to the people or the goods, I will lose my reputation and be ashamed to face people."

As he spoke, Peng Dalang introduced them to Liu Yunqing one by one.

"We used to use horses, but now we have changed our business. The carriages are all new. The smaller ones can hold four people, and there are also slightly more spacious ones that allow people to lie down, and they are stable when walking."

"Since your two friends have difficulty walking, I thought it would be better to find a more spacious place. I also used the most docile horse here. Our horses can travel a thousand miles, so you don't have to worry about their leg strength."

Liu Yunqing didn't know how to tell the quality of horses, but with so many horses ahead for comparison, he saw that all the horses in Peng Dalang's family were shiny and had bright black eyes, so he knew that they loved horses.

Unlike the previous ones, which were just ordinary livestock like horses, they were starved to the point of being just skeletons, and they were truly pulling the carts with their lives.

"Ever since we fought on the field, I have admired Dalang's character. I am not worried about anything you said. However, in addition to using the car, I also want to ask Dalang to take care of the brother and sister on the way."

"A poor family is rich on the road. Anything can happen when you go on a long journey. It doesn't make sense to ask Dalang to pay the money first. If it really doesn't work, I will pay Dalang half first, and the other half will be given to you when you come back safely. It won't be considered breaking your rules."

After hearing what the other person said, Peng Dalang stopped refusing and stated the price generously.

"Then I won't ask you for more. The price of the carriage and horses is based on the market price, eight taels of silver a month. Just for my food and drink, two taels will be enough. It's my duty to take care of guests, so I won't charge you more."

"This trip will cost ten taels of silver. Madam, just give me five taels first."

When Liu Yunqing heard this, he could hardly believe that this was the market price given by Peng Dalang.

"Dalang worked so hard for a month and only received ten taels? You are being too polite to say that Dalang doesn't have to give me a friendly price."

"I have asked almost everyone in the market. Even a horse pulling a cart earns 15 taels a month. What's more, your cart is newly made. Can Dalang really maintain this business?"

Hearing Liu Yunqing's question, Xiao Liu laughed first.

"My wife has been cheated and doesn't even know it! How can you spend so much money? This horse eats and spends so much at home for a month, and it will also spend the same if it goes out for a month. If you don't use it often, it will kick its ass at home. As long as the business is successful, it will be profitable anyway!"

"They all look at the person and ask for a better price. You are well-dressed and have people with you. You don't look like an ordinary family, so they will naturally ask for a higher price. If you are in urgent need of a carriage, they will be even more rude. It is not uncommon for them to rip you off halfway!"

"But you did the right thing by doing business with my elder brother. He is a trustworthy person. He always keeps his word and never cheats people. When he was a escort leader, my elder brother could earn three to five taels a day, and nearly a hundred taels per trip. You are getting a great bargain!"

Xiaoliu was a chatterbox and he started talking non-stop once the door opened. Peng Dalang smiled and quickly pulled his brother.

Wouldn't this make Madam Liu think too much?

He really asked for a lot of ten taels of silver. Times are different now, so there is no need to mention the glory of the past.

"My lady, don't listen to his nonsense. I can only make money from these ten taels of silver. If you don't trust me, just detain Xiaoliu and I will redeem him when I come back!"

Xiao Liu was not happy when he heard this: "Second brother took people out and you didn't allow me to go. Now that there is business to do, eldest brother still doesn't let me go out. I have become a burden that everyone hates!"

"Brother, if you continue like this, I will not do business with you anymore. I will go out on my own. If anyone dies, I will die alone!"

Peng Dalang didn't understand what was said. His face immediately darkened and he growled.

"Xiao Liu, be obedient!"

After all, he was afraid of his elder brother, so Xiaoliu kept his mouth shut, but his eyes were full of resentment and resentment, and even a sense of grievance, and he almost cried.

As Liu Yunqing watched and listened, he roughly guessed that the career changes of Peng Dalang and his brothers were closely related to Xiaoliu's death.

Did I offend someone?

Liu Yunqing didn't want to care about other people's affairs, but if it affected Peng Dalang's business and then implicated the innocent Pu Niangzi brother and sister, she didn't want to see that.

No matter how reliable this person is or how reasonable the money is, Liu Yunqing has already considered backing out.

"If that doesn't work, then I'll just look for another way. I don't want to cause any discord between you brothers because of this little business."

Seeing that the family was on the verge of starvation, Xiao Liu felt regretful when he heard Liu Yunqing's words and hurriedly tried to keep him.

"Madam Liu, you misunderstood. This business can be done! It can be done! My elder brother and I were fooling around. It's not a big deal anyway. Now that we are no longer in that business, naturally no one will bother us anymore!"

Liu Yunqing looked at Peng Dalang. Whether it would succeed or not depended on what this guy said.

Peng Dalang sighed again and again, and simply lifted the carriage curtain and invited Madam Liu in for a chat.

"I do have difficulties, and I can tell you the whole story. Please trust me once. I am serious about this business and will not let your friend get into any trouble."

Liu Yunqing hesitated for a moment, but considering that such a reliable person was hard to find, he decided to give him some face and was willing to listen to Peng Dalang's difficulties. If it had nothing to do with the business and would not involve other people, it would be fine to use him.

After getting in the car, Peng Dalang asked Shen Heng and Xiao Liu to keep watch, and then he whispered.

"I wonder if my lady has heard of the four major river transport companies at the dock?"

Liu Yunqing nodded: "I have heard that the river transport business is headed by the four families of Chen, Zhang, Pan, and Chu. How come they persecuted you?"

Peng Dalang sighed again and again.

"We used to be responsible for escorting caravans on land. Eight years ago, my hometown was hit by a disaster, so I brought my cousins out to make a living. After we became famous, we felt that we were great and even dared to do business that we had never heard of."

"A year ago, Master Chu asked us to follow the fleet to escort a batch of treasures. We made a lot of money after two or three trips. There are far fewer pirates on the water than on the mountains. We made a lot of money easily after several trips."

"But that day, Master Chu came to me and jokingly said that with my ability, wouldn't it be much more profitable to run a fleet business than to be a bodyguard? He also said that he would sell me a ship. After a few bottles of wine, my second brother and I were quite tempted and agreed without thinking."

"Brothers, none of us have read much, and we only have some experience of traveling around. We have been so smooth sailing these years. Who would have thought that we would really spend all our wealth to take over Master Chu's 20 ships? Only then did we know what kind of trouble we had taken on."
