Chapter 303: Returned from Great Liang
Just having returned to Great Wei, it was no longer possible to continue the journey.
The border town’s locals were too enthusiastic, blocking the caravan to purchase goods, not even sparing some of the specialties they had brought back from Great Liang!
Deng Guang had no choice but to settle everyone in the border city to rest for a day and record the orders here before moving on.
At dusk, inside the inn, Deng Guang sat on a chair counting orders.
The table was covered with papers—all of which were orders given by the townsfolk of the border city earlier that day.
While counting the orders, Deng Guang muttered to Uncle Wang, the accountant sitting beside him, “Uncle Wang, you see, there are so many locals here at the border who want to buy goods from the Merchants' Alliance, and the Merchants' Alliance is so far away. How about we open a shop here in this border city, just like the Merchants' Alliance itself? What do you think?”
Uncle Wang had been the accountant for the Deng family for many years and had basically watched Deng Guang grow up. He spoke to Deng Guang far more kindly than an ordinary servant.
Hearing Deng Guang’s words, Uncle Wang just smiled and said, “Young Master Guang, if you want to open a shop here, this old servant has no say. You’d have to get approval from His Highness the Wise King and the Fifth Master first.”
