I Built a Territory in Ancient Times - Chapter 173
Kneading his fist, he wanted to rub his head, but in the public, he restrained himself.
“Hope it! I just hope that Liangzhou will develop faster.” Ming Yu nodded, things must be done step by step before they can be achieved.
Along the way, there was a lot of dust and dust, although everyone was very concerned about whether Ming Yu’s trip to Xiqi Corridor came as he wished. But this is not the place to talk, everything has to be mentioned after returning to the city.
So everyone surrounded Ming Yu and others back to Liangcheng, the reception banquet was ready, and they would not return today if they were not drunk.
Only Xu Wen couldn’t care anymore, and went to find Ma Siyong and others under the leadership of Ming Yu.
The merchants who came along with Ming Yu finally came to Liangcheng. Although it is not as prosperous as the Central Plains, Liangcheng has a desolate and tragic meaning.
The city wall built of sand and stone has experienced countless winds and frosts and wars, and there is still a faint smell of knife and blood on it. They were accustomed to the gentle and petty sentiments of the south, and suddenly seeing such a heroic and rough scene, it was unexpectedly captivating.
Compared with other places in Liangzhou, this Liangcheng is indeed more prosperous. At least the population of the nearby villages is much larger, but compared to what they expected, it is still considered desolate.
“Sure enough, I’m not wrong, right? Liangzhou is really a poor place.”
Someone regretted it, beating his chest and stomping his feet, “I shouldn’t have believed in people’s words to go this way, let’s see! It’s just a waste of time, I came all the way, and there was nothing.”
“Yeah! With this time, I made two more business trips and didn’t make a fortune?”
Some people disagreed, “Since everyone is here, let’s take a look first. Duan Wang said that Liangzhou is full of business opportunities. Maybe we can really find some way to make money?”
Someone laughed: “Come on! You still listen to Duan Wang? Didn’t you see that Duan Wang was just trying to fool us?”
“It can’t be said to be fooling. After all, the Xiqi Corridor is still under construction and development. With such a big thing as the Xiqi Corridor, President Duan can’t be fooled, right?”
“But the Xiqi Corridor hasn’t been written yet? Although Duanwang raised money, it can’t be built today and tomorrow. Like the Ma family who invested money, don’t they have to wait a few years to see the benefits?”
When it comes to the Ma family, everyone has even more sympathy. In fact, in the final analysis, I still have the mind of watching a joke, “I’ve seen more than a dozen trucks from the Ma family, I’m afraid they really have to pull back the same way, I’m afraid no one cares about Liangcheng’s conditions!”
“Who said it wasn’t? The Ma family is also big-hearted, and they rashly transported all the goods without knowing anything. You say, what is the head of the Ma family thinking?”
“It’s not normal for people to stumble and horses to stumble, isn’t it normal? Where do you care about so many others? Anyway, in my opinion, Liangzhou should not stay for a long time. Brothers and sisters, the younger brother is going to leave tomorrow, you can watch for yourself. Do it.”
“…”
Everyone said that the public was reasonable, the mother said that the mother was reasonable, some were extremely disappointed and said to leave, and some wanted to investigate and see.
“Okay, okay, everyone, don’t talk about it, the head of the Ma family is here.” Someone reminded.
Sure enough, Ma Siyong walked over with Ma Jinyu. The ministers in front greeted King Duan, and they couldn’t get on the stage at all, so naturally they didn’t dare to go forward at will.
Everyone saluted and greeted each other, and Ma Siyong returned the salute one by one with a smile.
“Does the Ma family think about when to return?” Someone asked.
Ma Siyong shook his head, “I just came here, why should I go back? It will take some time.”
Someone laughed and said, “That’s right, if the goods of the Ma family are not sold, why would they be in a hurry to return them? But Ma family, if you can’t sell your goods for a year and a half, wouldn’t you have to wait for a year and a half? ?”
Before waiting for the Ma family to answer, someone said: “How could the Ma family waste time for such a mere amount of goods? The Ma family has a great business, but this is only a drop in the bucket. Even if it is lost, it doesn’t hurt at all, right? Hahaha!”
Master Ma shook his head and said with a good-natured smile, “I’m staying here, but not for the goods, but to investigate and pay attention to what’s missing here, so that people can start preparing earlier.”
When everyone heard the words, they looked at each other in dismay. Is this Ma Patriarch crazy? It’s hard to say whether this batch of goods can be sold, and now we start preparing for the next batch of goods? This? Shouldn’t this be deliberately teasing them?
Of course, this remark also caused some people to think deeply, and Cheng Guangsheng was one of them. The owner of the Ma family does not seem to be worried that his goods cannot be sold. What does this mean? It shows that Liangzhou really needs this batch of his goods.
He heard that this batch of goods from the Ma family are some commonly used materials for the public. In the past, he still wondered why the Ma family transported these ordinary goods all the way to Liangzhou to sell them. This kind of goods are all over the street, and they simply cannot be sold at high prices.
However, when he arrived in Liangcheng, he seemed to realize that Liangzhou was poor, so poor that even people’s living needs could not be met. It is just like this, of course, what the people need are the most basic items of life, and the goods that the Ma family transported from thousands of miles are exactly the goods that these people need.
In their eyes, the people here are impoverished and have no purchasing power at all. So these people are watching the jokes of the Ma family, watching how he returns the unsellable goods to the original ones.
However, Cheng Guangsheng thought of a possibility. The people here may not have the money to buy, but King Duan has money! The dozens of carts of silver and silver notes that Duan Wang had pulled back were clearly in front of him.
Thinking of this, Cheng Guangsheng trembled with excitement, his face flushed red, and his hands clenched into fists involuntarily. Everyone laughs at the head of the Ma family. I’m afraid that the head of the Ma family is watching their jokes in his heart, right?
Although today’s Liangzhou is depressed and dilapidated, just as Duan Wang said, it is in a state of ruin. Duan Wang’s ambitions are seen by smart people as long as he wants to develop the Xiqi Corridor, why can’t he drive the development of Liangzhou.
The development of a place is destined to be accompanied by countless opportunities. If he wants to seize the opportunity, their Cheng family will have hope.
Tan Shan, who has always been close to him, was a little strange when he saw him like this. He leaned over and asked in a low voice, “Brother Cheng, what’s wrong with you? But you’re sick?”
Cheng Guangsheng swallowed his saliva and shook his head, “I’m fine, I just thought of something and got a little excited.”
Tan Shan snorted, but didn’t ask him what made him excited, just changed the subject and said, “Brother Cheng also saw the situation in Liangzhou, when are you going to go back?”
The author has something to say: Thanks to the little angel who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution during the period of 2021-02-2123:49:15~2021-02-2223:37:07~
Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: 3 bottles of Lan Lanzi do not eat fish; 1 bottle of Liu Liguang; thank you very much for your support to me, I will continue to work hard!

“Go back?” Cheng Guangsheng’s mood was agitated, and his voice was uncontrollable, a little high-pitched. “Why do you want to go back? I want to stay here temporarily and look for opportunities. But I will send a letter back to my family to prepare the goods, and then the caravan of the Cheng family will come.”
“What? You’re crazy!” Tan Shan yelled.
When someone around looked at them, Tan Shan quickly put Cheng Guangsheng aside and said in a low voice, “Brother Cheng, are you under the influence of evil? No one with a clear head would say such a thing.”
Cheng Guangsheng shook his head, “I’m not awake, maybe the Ma family is right, this is just my guess, I have to check the situation again.”
Seeing that Cheng Guangsheng insisted on staying, Tan Shan could only persuade him: “Brother Cheng, listen to my little brother’s advice. I had a glimmer of hope even before I went to Liangcheng. Now that I have seen the situation here with my own eyes, don’t you have a clue? It’s better to go back to take care of your own business as soon as you spend it here.”
However, Cheng Guangsheng didn’t listen to him at all, “No, it’s because I saw the situation here that I chose to stay and look for opportunities.”
Tan Shan supported his forehead, Cheng Guangsheng was stubborn, and once something was confirmed, eight horses would not be able to pull it back. Seeing that it is impossible for him to change his mind for a while, he can only say angrily: “It’s okay, it’s okay, whatever you do, I don’t care. When you hit the wall, you will always turn back.”
Cheng Guangsheng knew that Tan Shan was well-intentioned, so he also pointed out: “Brother Tan, you should stay for a while, and then decide to stay after you understand it clearly, otherwise you will regret it too late.”
How could Tan Shan listen to him? Instead of listening to his own advice, he turned around and let him stay, which is simply unreasonable. Anyway, I thought that I was a fellow countryman, otherwise I would spend more time persuading me.
Before I could say something, I saw a commotion coming from the front, and I looked at it with concentration, but I saw that King Duan’s personal **** led a group of people over.
The leader is not too old, perhaps because of the wind and the sun, his skin is a little dark, but his eyes are bright. The most important thing is that the person who came here was wearing an official uniform, and it was obviously a person from the official government. Although the dozen or so people who followed were all dressed as civilians, it could be seen that their mental outlook was somewhat different from that of ordinary people. All of them had anxious expressions on their faces, and they kept looking around.
This is exactly Xu Wen and the various workshop owners who were hurriedly notified by Xu Wen.
Xu Wen dazzled his eyes and asked, “Dare to ask who is the head of the Ma family?”
Ma Siyong took a step and saluted Xu Wen, “Little man Ma Siyong, I have seen adults.”
Xu Wen waved his hand,
