The steward nodded with a smile, "Thanks to the Zhao Family Army escorting us, otherwise I wouldn't dare come to Luoyang. I've heard that once you leave Yu State, bandits are rampant outside. I have great treasures with me, and we with our small number dare not take long journeys."
Zhao Hanzhang replied with a smile, "The court is already dispatching troops to quell the bandits. I think it won't be long before entering and leaving Luoyang will be as safe as in Yu State."
The steward just smiled and didn't answer this question. He asked Zhao Hanzhang with interest, "Miss, are you thinking of purchasing some goods? I wonder which goods you are interested in. Besides Sichuan pepper, I have silk, Shu brocade, and fine hemp cloth from Shu, all available."
Zhao Hanzhang: "Did you come from Shu?"
The steward replied affirmatively with a smile.
Zhao Hanzhang glanced at the scale of their convoy and nodded, "I am somewhat interested. I happen to know a merchant from Shu named Zhu Chuan."
