Traveling through 1942 with space

Chapter 223 Chongqing Branch Transaction

After a day's journey, Hou Xiaoge finally arrived in Yu City in the evening.

However, he did not go in directly, but went into the space to rest for a night.

After running for more than a hundred kilometers while changing horses, I was covered in dust and needed to wash myself and change my clothes.

After a night's rest, Hou Xiaoge disguised himself as Han Li and went straight into the city. Yu City was indeed the temporary capital. It was much more prosperous than Chang'an. There were merchants everywhere, and even many foreigners.

Hou Xiaoge didn't spend much time sightseeing. He called a rickshaw and went to the Yanhuang League's headquarters in Chongqing according to the address given by Jin Yintang.

"Hello, this is a private residence." In front of a two-story building, two War Hall disciples dressed in blue and yellow stopped Hou Xiaoge.

"All of us in the Nine Continents are brothers." Hou Xiaoge shouted the slogan of the Yanhuang Alliance, and then made a disciple gesture.

The two Yanhuang League disciples were stunned for a moment, then quickly responded: "Everyone in the world is from Yanhuang."

"The country is peaceful and the people are prosperous, and we are united in the same goal." Both sides said in unison.

"Hello, fellow brothers." Several people laughed and it was considered a greeting between fellow disciples.

"I don't know which hall this brother is from. Is he going home to rest or does he need any help?" asked the disciple of the War Hall with a smile.

"I'm from the Wenshu Hall. My last name is Han Li. This is the order from the leader. I need to see the person in charge of the Yu City Gold and Silver Hall." Hou Xiaoge handed the order to two War Hall disciples for them to look at.

It was also the first time for both of them to see the leader's order, but it was very similar to the hall master's order, just golden in color. They looked at each other and nodded.

"Brother Han Li, please sit down and have some tea. I'll go in and make some announcements." A disciple brought Hou Xiaoge to a living room and saluted.

"You're welcome!"

Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing red and yellow clothes with silver Jinyintang embroidered on his arm walked in with a smile and clasped his fists. He was an incense master.

Hou Xiaoge also stood up and clasped his fists with a smile, and the two of them greeted each other.

"I wonder if since my brother has come from afar, I, Cao, could take a look at the alliance leader's order." After the two exchanged greetings, Xiangzhu Cao said with a smile.

"Of course!" Hou Xiaoge handed over the alliance leader's order.

After checking that it was correct, Master Cao Xiang returned it to Hou Xiaoge.

"I don't know why you are here, brother, and whether I can be of any use to you." Master Cao Xiang's attitude became much more enthusiastic.

"This is a secret letter, Master Cao, please take a look." Hou Xiaoge handed over a letter.

"Brother Han, please wait outside. I'll go take a look and be back soon." Master Cao Xiang took the letter and turned to go out.

This is because secret letters have a special way of being read, and when you look at them in person, they will just appear as a blank piece of paper.

"Brother Han, I have read the letter. I didn't expect that you are the person in charge of this mission." Soon, Master Cao Xiang walked in with a smile.

"That's right. I don't know whether Master Cao's preparations are appropriate. Tell me a number so that I can prepare the money." Hou Xiaoge asked directly without hiding anything.

"The black ore is not easy to get. It must be transported from Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces. There are only 50 dan, most of which are tung oil and pig bristles.

We purchased 1,300 barrels of tung oil and 800 dan of pig bristles.

The total purchase price is 196,600 yuan. Here is the specific list. Brother Han, please take a look." Master Cao Xiang said as he took out the data sheet from his underwear.

Hou Xiaoge took a look and found that a barrel of tung oil weighed 50 kilograms and cost about four dollars. This was the least valuable, costing only a little over 5,000 yuan.

Next is the black ore, which only has three tons. The quantity is too small, but the price is not low, more than 30,000 oceans.

The last one is 800 shi, or 75 tons of pig bristles. This is the most. One ton is worth more than 3,000 yuan, and the total price is more than 150,000 yuan.

Although the price is slightly different from what was reported by the alliance, it doesn’t matter. Nothing is absolute.

"I will send you the payment for the goods this afternoon. Master Cao, I will not stay any longer. Please get ready. We will come to pick up the goods tomorrow." Hou Xiaoge nodded and said.

All transactions in the halls require money, and Hou Xiaoge doesn't want that person to run around and get things done. This would be too messy and prone to problems.

"Brother Han is really decisive and efficient. I, Cao, would like to entertain you, brother Han!" Master Cao Xiang is a businessman, so he is naturally tactful in his speech.

"No need, we are all working for the leader." Hou Xiaoge waved his hand and said.

"Okay, then we won't keep Brother Han."

Hou Xiaoge hurriedly left the Yanhuang Alliance headquarters and asked Ling'er to prepare twenty boxes of oceans in the space.

Nearly 200,000 yuan is not a small amount. It weighs more than 10,000 kilograms and needs to be transported by truck. Fortunately, Hou Xiaoge has always had a truck in his space for maneuvering, otherwise it would not be possible to transport it with a horse-drawn carriage.

In the afternoon, Hou Xiaoge first drove the empty truck into the city, and then put the dollars into the truck when they were near the Yanhuang League.

Led by the disciples of the Yanhuang League, we entered from the cargo transportation area in the backyard. Fortunately, the yard was big enough and was usually a temporary cargo station, otherwise the trucks would not be able to enter.

At this time, the backyard had already been cleared, leaving only a few dozen disciples from the War Hall and the Gold and Silver Hall to guard nearby and ensure safety.

"Oh my! Brother Han, you brought such a large sum of money in by yourself." Master Cao Xiang was shocked when he saw the full boxes in the carriage.

"It's a mixture of truth and falsehood. If there are too many people, it's easy to be checked by the patrol. I'm alone so I'll be a smaller target and safer." Hou Xiaoge explained with a smile.

"Too!"

Master Cao nodded in agreement. If this were discovered by the government, they would definitely exchange it for legal currency, and he would cry.

After asking the disciple to weigh and check, the two of them went to the reception room to drink tea and chat.

"By the way, Master Cao, I have recruited a group of disciples for the Yuying Hall in the alliance in Lu County.

Here is the address. Send your disciples to pick them up in the next few days and teach them well when the time comes. " While the two were chatting, Hou Xiaoge briefly explained the situation in Lu County.

"Okay, okay, Brother Han, you really never forget the leader's teachings no matter where you are! I admire you.

Master Cao Xiang nodded and stuffed the note into his sleeve.

Recruiting people for the alliance's Yuying Hall is not just the job of the Chang'an headquarters. All disciples traveling outside have this responsibility. The Yu City branch also has hundreds of disciples, so it's nothing unusual for Master Cao Xiang.

Dayang’s inspection is very quick. We are all our own people, so there is no need to check each one to see if it is genuine. Just pour them out, take a quick look, and then weigh them.

"Master Xiang, the weight has been calculated. There is no problem." After a while, a disciple ran in and whispered in Master Xiang Cao's ear.

"What's so mysterious about it? Just check it out. We are all brothers. Brother Han, you can't try to trick me. Go down!" Master Cao Xiang pretended to be reserved.

Hou Xiaoge didn't say anything, just smiled.

"Brother Han, these are the locations to pick up the goods. There are three locations respectively. Here is the password. I will wait for you where the bristles are stored in the evening." After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, Master Cao Xiang handed a note to Hou Xiaoge.

"Row!"

Hou Xiaoge took the note and drove away without staying for long.
