Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

Jinhua Mansion has a prosperous economy, even more prosperous than Guangzhou Mansion, so Li Baolu couldn't take her eyes off the moment she entered the city, a typical look of a countryman entering the city.

Even Gu Jingyun was attracted by the hustle and bustle of Jinhua Mansion, and several times simply pulled Li Baolu to stand aside to watch the fun.

On the contrary, Li An and the others were used to seeing the prosperity of the capital, so it was nothing new.

Li An and the three stood aside with smiles and waited for them to finish watching the fun before leaving, but Peng Yu couldn't help but rolled his eyes in disdain.

However, he dared to roll his eyes, and did not dare to sneer like before.

The two children are too small-minded, if he mocks Li Baolu, Gu Jingyun can run him to death with words, but he still can't talk to others; if he bullies Gu Jingyun, it will be even worse, Li Baolu will make him do the most tiring work and eat the worst food Food, and even going to bed at night may be the last. You must know that he was the most seriously injured among the four. Not only did he not receive preferential treatment for the injured, but he was even abused.

Peng Yu's heart was cold and cold, but Mr. Pian still acted as if he was completely arranged by Li Baolu, so there was no chance for him to resist.

Peng Yu was aggrieved and followed the two children to run around in the street. He saw them go shopping after watching the juggling, bought a lot of snacks and stuffed them in their mouths...

They finally stopped in front of a small inn when his legs were about to break.

Since they are poor people, they can't afford to live in a good inn, and even if they live in a small inn, they still can only book a room for eight people.

Peng Yu, who clearly has a huge amount of money in his pocket but can't use it: ...

"You guys wait inside, Baolu and I will go shopping."

Seeing that Gu Jingyun pulled Li Baolu out, Peng Yu heaved a sigh of relief, and lay down on the kang with his hands and feet spread out.

Tao Wu laughed and patted his chest, "Ziqing has finally learned to be smart."

He had complained long ago.

Peng Yu rolled his eyes, "You think I'm willing to do this? Both of these people hold grudges too much, and they will make up for each other after hitting one. They are no better in martial arts, nor can they be compared in writing. What else can I do except keep my mouth shut?" "

Li An said with a smile: "You are self-aware, but you should be more careful. Just look at the actions of those two children. It will be of great use in inheriting the family business or becoming an official in the future."

Peng Yu was full of confusion, "What's the use of watching them go shopping?"

Li An shook his head and laughed, looking at Wei Yingjie.

Wei Yingjie laughed and said, "Mr. Gu and Miss Li do have a lot of things they haven't seen, and they really look like country folks who have never seen the world, but do you think they came all this way just to see something strange?"

Wei Yingjie said seriously: "After this journey, we followed them not only to know that there are three big escort agencies in Jinhua Mansion, but also that most of the weaving workshops and embroidery workshops are concentrated in the east of the city, but the ones with the highest raw silk prices are not the ones that produce the most. They want raw silk but have no access, so the price is fair and higher than those big weaving workshops, but the disadvantage is that they want less."

"In addition to exquisite silks and satins, Jinhua mansion sells overseas, as well as porcelain, tea and ham," Wei Yingjie said again: "The people in the north also like these four items very much. I think the next time we buy goods from Come out of these four things."

Li An nodded, "Before making a decision, you need to know all about it so that you can make the most accurate decision. They are still children, but they have such consideration and wisdom. Isn't it worth learning from them?"

Peng Yu stood up and did a good job, and after thinking for a while, he nodded and admitted his mistake: "My lord, it's my fault. I lost my composure due to prejudice."

Li An patted him on the shoulder and said, "Knowing your mistakes can make a big difference. There is still a long way to go from Jinhua to the capital, and we still have something to learn."

Tao Wu nodded again and again, "I just want to learn from Miss Li her disguise skills. If we know this from the beginning, why don't we worry about getting rid of the pursuers?"

"Then you have to learn Miss Li's idea of ​​disguise. Otherwise, no matter how good the makeup is, it will be useless." Li Baolu arranged their identities and backgrounds, and let them not show their whereabouts all the way. I arrived at Jinhua Mansion.

Li An watched them discuss, in fact, he has also benefited a lot from this journey, he now knows the output of the upper, middle and lower third-class land in Jiangnan, and knows the various things that the common people need to pay in addition to the land tax and small tax every year Donate money, so as to judge which place's officials are big greedy and which local officials are small greedy...

He also knows that although business is prosperous, not many people are willing to leave their hometowns to do business, except for those who are ambitious, they will not be able to survive...

He even knew that soldiers in the garrison would sometimes participate in the business. Some people made a fortune out of this, but more people had no choice but to use this way to support their families because of lack of military pay.

I learned all this from businessmen who smuggled by the same trails on the road. Those people are not even called businessmen, because most of them are still farmers or tenant farmers, and they only take the risk of smuggling during the slack time in order to make some money. .

The money earned from a trip back and forth is really nothing in Li An's eyes. He thought, if the land can bring them enough income, why would they take the risk to do such a thing?

Li An was brought up as the future prince since he was a child, and his responsibility is the whole world.

The mountains and rivers in the world are his land, and the people in the world are his people. His father once taught him that if he wants to be a virtuous king, he must regard himself as the father of the world.

A father will not compete with his children for profit. His wish is for the best of the children, so he will not indulge in pleasure and forget his original intention.

Li An doesn't know if he can maintain his original intention in the future, but now he hopes that the people of the world will be prosperous and healthy.

So what he thinks is how to bring these people who have gone astray back to normal, so that they can support their families without taking desperate risks.

Only then did Li An come to his senses, and Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu came back. Not only did they bring back food, but they also brought back a set of pens and inks.

Gu Jingyun handed the letter paper to Li An, "Write the letter down, and I'll send someone to deliver it."

Li Baolu informed them: "I have already found two buyers, but they don't want many goods, so it is conservatively estimated that we will stay in Jinhua Mansion for two days. The longer we stay, the worse it is for us, because There are many traces left behind, and we can't erase them, so we try our best to go out and communicate with outsiders as little as possible these two days. Especially your official words have not yet come to the fore. Jinhua Mansion is different from those small trails. The guys here are very knowledgeable, and they must be able to recognize your accent, so try to speak as little as possible."

Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu are young and grew up in Qiongzhou. Although they have learned standard Mandarin from Qin Xinfang and He Zipei, there are people from all origins in the village, and the Mandarin with accents can be compiled into a book. The book, the two of them are smart, and they can almost learn it after listening to it two or three times.

So whether they want to pretend to be Cantonese, Fujianese, Zhejiangese, or Huguang people, they can easily catch them.

But these four are different, perhaps because they have never been in contact with these things, the four of them have difficulty listening to Mandarin with an accent, let alone speaking, so they can only keep their mouths shut and pretend to be introverted along the way.

Fortunately, Gu Jingyun is good at talking. I don't know whether it was unintentional or intentional. When he talked with people along the way, the questions he asked all tickled Li An's itches.

This also made Li An like Gu Jingyun even more.

Gu Jingyun, who was liked, of course couldn't do such a thing as sending a letter. He handed the letter to Li Baolu and said, "Send it to the escort agency on the day we leave."

"To the prefect of Luzhou?"

Gu Jingyun nodded, "This is the dark line that the Prince's Mansion has exposed in front of the emperor. When things are sent to the Prince's Mansion, they will be copied and sent to the emperor."

The corners of Gu Jingyun's mouth curled up slightly, and he said: "After we bought the car, we hurried to the capital without stopping on the road, so that when the letter was delivered to the capital, we also arrived in the Hebei area. It was the most dangerous time, I don't believe it, the emperor will come forward If you make trouble for them, they dare to chase and kill us blatantly!"

The next day, a group of people took their own goods and went to the south of the city to find Zhi Niang.

The two weavers who made an appointment had inspected the raw silk, and they were slightly reluctant, and asked, "Can't it be cheaper? If the price is lower, we will ask for a few more catties."

The quality of the raw silk this time was very good. If they put their minds to it, they might be able to weave a good brocade. Unfortunately, they had limited money and couldn't eat much.

Li Baolu thought for a while and said, "If you can introduce a few weavers to us, how about we give you 20 Wen per catty cheaper?"

"We want more, and we introduce you to weavers. Why should it be cheaper? Why is it only twenty yuan cheaper?" A weaver rolled her eyes and said, "how about fifty yuan per catty?"

Li Baolu put away the raw silk blankly, and said seriously: "Sister, when we bought this raw silk, we had to pay 600 Wen. The people who lived and slept all the way were earning this hard-earned money. You can cut off 50 Wen at once, and we will buy it." There's nothing left."

Zhi Niang laughed and said, "Didn't you earn a hundred and fifty Wen?"

She thought to herself, as soon as she changed hands, she could earn one hundred and fifty Wen per catty, what else could she be dissatisfied with?

"But the board and lodging expenses we spent along the way, the toll to the city, and even some tolls are not counted. All these things add up to a lot. You see, there are six people in our family."

Zhi Niang was taken aback, and asked, "Why do you have so many people here, you don't waste money."

Li Baolu said helplessly: "I can't help it. There are many bandits on the road. If there are fewer of us, we may lose our lives and goods."

Zhi Niang just pursed her lips and said nothing, the other teased her cautiously and said, "Sister, forget it, it's good to be twenty Wen cheaper."

She glared at her sister, glanced at the four big men behind the child, lowered her head and said to Li Baolu, "Okay, but you have to deliver the goods to my door."

Li Baolu patted her chest and said: "Sister, don't worry, my father and the others have nothing but strength, you just do what you want."

Satisfied, Zhiniang opened the sack and picked it carefully.

Li Baolu sold the two weavers for 750 weavers a catty, but the weaver she introduced to them was 800 weavers a catty. They made a profit of fourteen taels of silver when they sold a cart, a load and a basket of raw silk.

Excluding their expenses along the way, the final income of the six people was only about thirteen taels.

Ang Li sighed while holding the hard-earned money, "Sure enough, life is difficult."

They ate and slept all the way, but the money they earned in the end was not enough for them to eat at the restaurant. The four of them suddenly felt that they were extravagant before, and a sense of guilt arose in their hearts, what should we do?

Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun were very satisfied. They traveled from Guangxin to Jinhua for more than three days, and they made a profit of thirteen taels in just three days. No wonder so many people went to do business and smuggle it. It was really huge profits.

Li Baolu cast her eyes on the last basket of satin and said, "This one is more valuable, let's go, let's sell the satin."

The silks and satins are sold directly to big shops. Although the prices they offer are low, they are still fair. The key is safety, and there will be no such thing as robbing the silks and satins and running away.

The few silks and satins that Li Baolu chose were very good. After looking at them, the shopkeeper gave each silk a price of six taels and five cents, and he earned more than half of the money for one silk.

Wei Yingjie looked at it dumbfounded, "Then it's fine if we just buy the silk and satin and sell it, why bother to bring the raw silk that takes up space?"

"Because we have no money and no force, we are just honest farmers." Before that, their silks and satins were still hidden in raw silk.

You must know that silk and satin were hard currency in ancient times. If this thing is well preserved, it will still be exquisite and gorgeous after twenty years, and it will still be old and valuable.

Carrying it carelessly on the body is no different from carrying gold across the market, even if the robbers don't snatch it, those who see it can't help it.

"So those who can do silk and satin business are all big companies. Look at who on the trail is putting out the silk and satin openly, and they are all stuffed in raw silk." Li Baolu happily counted the money and said: "But these are all related to us now. It doesn't matter, we will buy a mule cart in a while, add some tea and ham, and drive to the capital immediately."
