082 Mercenary
Zuo Chenyi lifted the curtain of the car, looked in front of him, and said to Chu Xiaoxi, "It seems that we have to go over!"
Chu Xiaoxi nodded, "Okay!
After spending time with Chu Xiaoxi for a long time, Zuo Chenyi probably figured out Chu Xiaoxi's temperament, had his own thoughts, and seemed to be a very playful little girl.
After speaking, the two got out of the carriage, the coachman drove the car elsewhere, and Zuo Chenyi accompanied Chu Xiaoxi towards the lively place.
Chu Xiaoxi got closer and found that it was a newly opened silk village, and the three golden characters of "Cloud Satin Village" on the plaque were even more dazzling in the sun.
There was a big box at the door of the shop, with a "fundraising" written on it, and a middle-aged man who looked like a gentleman next to him was holding a pen and paper to register something, Chu Xiaoxi asked a person watching the excitement next to him curiously, "This little brother, what are you doing?"
The man said very enthusiastically: "This shop is a novelty, it is said that the northwest is now the fief of the king of power, and the king of power has to take care of every qiē military quartermaster, and the imperial court does not give military supplies, so this shop has been open for three days, and anyone who comes to the shop to buy cloth, this cloud satin village will take out half of the amount to donate to Yuncheng as a military quartermaster, and also give it to the register, donating it in the name of the buyer, not Yun satin Village! No, there are still many people who buy cloth! But some people really want to contribute to the front line, and most of them still want to show their faces in the king, right? After all, this northwest will be the most powerful king in the future!"
"Hey~ Childe, don't you want to buy a few horses? I heard that these are all new ones from the south of the Yangtze River!" passers-by did not forget to introduce Chu Xiaoxi to buy two.
Chu Xiaoxi nodded, "Yes, indeed, I just need it! Thank you for this little brother!"
Passers-by smiled and nodded, but when Chu Xiaoxi turned around, he couldn't help but pout, muttering in his heart, "It's just needed, I want to please King Quan to save it!"
Chu Xiaoxi squeezed through the crowd, came to Zuo Chenyi, who was outside the crowd, and said, "You know the promotional activities of this Cloud Satin Village, right?"
"Promotion?, the word is fresh, what's wrong?" Zuo Chenyi obviously understood the meaning of promotion.
Chu Xiaoxi said with a smile: "The owner of this shop is interesting, so the reputation of the shop will spread in the northwest in less than three days! I just want to buy some cloth, I heard that it is all new in the south of the Yangtze River!"
When Chu Xiaoxi said this, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and looked at Zuo Chenyi in surprise, "Aren't you from Jiangnan? This shop can't be opened by you, right?" Chu Xiaoxi happened to be preparing military supplies for Yuncheng! Chu Xiaoxi felt that his reaction seemed to be a little slow, why didn't he expect this?
The main reason is that he came with Zuo Chenyi just now, why didn't the driver know that it was his own shop in front of him? Maybe he knew, but he just kept his mouth shut?
Zuo Chenyi said with a smile, "I can't hide anything from Miss Chu! Since the girl is in need, Zuo will give the girl a few pieces of cloth!"
Chu Xiaoxi hurriedly declined, "Then what's the matter, the fabric you have here can now be regarded as a charity sale to raise military supplies, how can I take advantage of this! If you want to say that, then I won't buy this fabric!"
"Since the girl is so righteous, then I won't shirk. ”
After speaking, Zuo Chenyi accompanied Chu Xiaoxi to the store to pick three pieces of fabric, and Chu Xiaoxi picked two pure cotton and one satin!
When the shopkeeper saw that the owner was here, he was even very respectful to Chu Xiaoxi, and after Chu Xiaoxi paid for the goods, Chu Xiaoxi was registered in the fundraising register.
Knowing that Zuo Chenyi and Chu Xiaoxi were going to Yipinju for dinner, and Chu Xiaoxi didn't bring a follower, Zuo Chenyi only brought a small servant over, so the shopkeeper sent the second child in the store to send the cloth bought by Chu Xiaoxi over according to the address provided by Chu Xiaoxi.
Chu Xiaoxi thanked the shopkeeper, and then left Yunsatin Village with Zuo Chenyi.
"Zuo Gongzi, I ask you a question!" Chu Xiaoxi couldn't help but speak.
Zuo Chenyi listened, and raised his eyebrows, "What's the problem?"
Chu Xiaoxi was small, and seemed to think of the wording, "Well, how do you know that the imperial court has cut off the military supplies in the northwest, and the grain and grass in the northwest can't keep up?" You know, she and King Quan rushed all the way to the northwest, and she didn't hear any news.
Is the king hiding it from her, or does the king not know that this Zuo Chenyi is more well-informed than the king?
Zuo Chenyi's heart jumped, why did this girl ask like this? Could it be that Song Zhuoran told her something? But didn't Song Zhuoran just come back from Qiming Kingdom?
However, Zuo Chenyi still smiled lightly, "I am a businessman, I came to the northwest this time because I heard that there was going to be a war in the northwest, and I thought that if there was a war, the imperial court would definitely buy grain and grass on a large scale, so I transported a large amount of grain and grass to the northwest!
You should know that I am a businessman, and I originally wanted to make some national disaster wealth, but I didn't expect that the national disaster was real, but I didn't even see a shadow of wealth.
But so much of my grain has already been transported to the northwest, if Yuncheng is lost, my grain will definitely not be able to be saved, not to mention that I want to do other business, such as silk village!
Therefore, I can only donate those grains and grass in a righteous way, so that the king can defend Yuncheng, so that my other goods can be saved!"
Chu Xiaoxi was dumbfounded when he heard this, is this okay?
Zuo Chenyi said with a wry smile: "The girl now knows that I, a "big man from Jiangnan", is actually such a mercenary person, do you feel very disappointed?"
Chu Xiaoxi hurriedly shook his head, "What did Zuo Gongzi say, what mercenary, I have never seen Zuo Gongzi so mercenary in place to ensure the safety of the northwest, and donate the January rations to Yuncheng, and during the opening of the new shop, mobilize more people to prepare military supplies for Yuncheng! If you are still called mercenary, then you still call it mercenary, then don't you let others live?"
Chu Xiaoxi said it truthfully, there was no fraud at all, Zuo Chenyi listened to it, his heart was warm, how long has it been since no one said this about him? Are you concerned about the safety of the country? The corners of Zuo Chenyi's mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
"Mother!look!, that slut has hooked up with someone else again!" A slightly harsh female voice shattered the warmth in Zuo Chenyi's heart. I hate the words "slut!" and "hook up" the most in my life!
Zuo Chenyi frowned, raised his eyes, and saw that a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl dressed as a maid was pulling a mother-in-law to point to this side, followed by two mothers-in-law carrying a lot of things.
Zuo Chenyi glanced at Chu Xiaoxi, and saw that Chu Xiaoxi also looked disgusted, and stared at the little girl with a frown.
Zuo Chenyi thought to himself: Could it be that the little girl is scolding Chu Xiaoxi, the maid of the Song family?
