Although Zhuge did not look at the other boats one by one, he could basically understand what cargo was transporting.

Like the goods on Zhuoliang's ship, it is some specialties from Sichuan and Shu, such as bamboo paper, books, bamboo utensils, silk, silk fans, tea bricks, etc. They are all ordinary items and are also expensive, but the quantity is not very large.

Especially the base warehouse, which has a mixed smell, it is obviously not suitable to stockpile a large amount of spices. After all, if the spices smell, the price will inevitably drop sharply, and the loss will not be a little bit. Therefore, it must be only placed on this floor on the deck, but there is not much space on this floor, so there must be not many spices delivered at one time.

It is also impossible to take other ships with expensive spices.

Sailing on the river surface, large ships will obviously be safer than small ships.

Zhuge Liang had just returned from Nanzhong, so he was very clear about the situation of the Nanzhong line.

This time when he came back, Zhuge Liang mainly wanted to discuss with Xu Huang about the situation of stationing in the Nanzhong Military Village.

Through military camps, controlling the main roads in Nanzhong, and then splitting out the original Nanzhong to form smaller counties and control local powerful forces, etc., it is undoubtedly necessary to discuss in detail, and it is definitely not something that can be done by writing a few letters.

The matter of identifying spies was just Zhuge Liang who heard about such a thing, and he did it by the way.

By the way.

Zhuge Liang knew very well that the spices in Nanzhong only went once a year, and arrived in Sichuan and Shu in late autumn, and then returned to Jiaozhi from Sichuan. Now it is summer, and it is not yet late autumn, and the spices in Sichuan and Shu can only be transported from Chang'an.

There were caravans from Chang'an to Shandong. After leaving Chang'an and leaving Heluo, the caravans to Shandong were flat, so the freight was actually not high. It took a long time to transport spices to Sichuan and Shu, and then from Sichuan and Shu to Jiangdong. This was not only a longer time, but the price was naturally more expensive.

It is very abnormal to bend near and far away, and to be honest and expensive.

So what are the abnormal business behaviors?

"Spices are expensive, so there are guards, and this guard..." Zhuge Liang smiled, "It just happened to be used as a cover... After all, the people who came out were all from the business, and the guards generally paid little attention to it..."

Xu Huang nodded and glanced at Zhuge Liang, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, just pondered without saying anything.

Although Xu Huang felt that what Zhuge Liang said was indeed reasonable, he felt that there seemed to be some problems.

Zhuge Liang seemed to have noticed Xu Huang's intention and continued to say slowly, "Liang asked the merchant ship on the dock to delay for a while... Liang tried it a little more, and he could see that he knew..."

Zhuge Liang was young, but he was able to do things without any loss.

If an ordinary reckless person has clues and is indeed a little suspicious, he can directly open it up, but Zhuge Liang is different. He also has to rule out some special situations, such as Jiangdong urgently needs spices and cannot purchase them from Shandong, so he has to go through the water. In this case, delaying for a few days will inevitably make the spice merchant anxious.

Normally, if an ordinary businessman has no ghost in his heart, then when he hears that the official documents are not completed, he will definitely scold Zhuo Liang and urge Zhuo Liang to handle the matter quickly. He may even have to worry about Zhuo Liang for some money losses caused by delays...

Even brothers have to settle the score clearly?

So this is a normal businessman.

Unusual businessmen, if they know that the official documents have not been completed, they may wait if they are guilty, or even say nothing, or turn against Zhuo Liang. After all, what they are important is not selling goods. If they turn against the caravan and cannot go by water, then land checkpoints will obviously make them more troublesome.
