Chapter 55, New Plans
The family's team was successfully persuaded to disperse, Fang Wei had already returned to Xihe Town with his army, and a war came to an end.
All of this is led by Qin Shuyu.
This was originally a battle related to the life and death of Black Tiger Village, and the ending must have been extremely miserable, but because of the arrival of Qin Shuyu, the situation was completely reversed.
In the end, there were no casualties in the Black Tiger Village, and there was not much material consumption.
On the other hand, the county lieutenant has wasted so much manpower and material resources in vain, and this vacancy cannot be filled by Fang Wei alone.
Qin Shuyu guessed that there was a high probability that the Xiang family would fill in first, and then find a way to slowly get back from those families who had escaped.
After all, as long as the official position of county lieutenant is kept, through operation, it will still be relatively easy to recover some losses.
However, Qin Shuyu tried his best to let the Xiang family fall into this big pit, how could he let these people have a chance to breathe?
The Xiang family started by running a business, and if they want to hurt their muscles and bones, in addition to killing their core members, they still have to return to business.
The sale of salt is a piece of fat, and there is no way to move to the family for the time being, because this is authorized by the government, unless their backstage is down, but this is not realistic for the time being.
However, nearly 30% of Xiang's income comes from the operation of jade and pearls.
There's still a lot to be done in this area
Therefore, after Qin Shuyu successfully completed the purpose of his trip, he did not rush back to Black Tiger Village to accept everyone's cheers, but asked Zhao Fan to take him and Xu Qingyu to see the biggest feature of Yutian Town-jade deposits.
However, after coming to the quarry, Qin Shuyu's eyes were filled with a turbulent torrent with a width of 100 zhang and turbid water flowing between the mountains.
This place is rarely visited, and there is no jade farmer that Zhao Fan talked about the most along the way.
He turned to look at Zhao Fan and said suspiciously: "Brother Zhao, don't tell me, this is the largest quarrying place in your Yutian Town." ”
Xu Qingyu on the side was also holding her eyebrows, her face was full of disappointment, she was here with great expectations, and wanted to experience the feeling of picking jade in person.
However, judging from the current situation, it is estimated that this idea wants to be in vain.
Zhao Fan smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed to several peaks that towered into the clouds, and said, "The jade comes from these peaks. ”
Qin Shuyu followed Zhao Fan's fingers and glanced at the nameless mountain that was much higher than the peak where the Black Tiger Village was located, and heard the sound of waves crashing in his ears, his heart moved slightly, and said, "Is it a mountain torrent?"
Zhao Fan's eyes lit up, looked at Qin Shuyu, and said with a smile: "Yes, these jade stones are originally hidden in the mountains, because the summer world is in the scorching heat, the ice and snow accumulated on the top of the mountain quickly melt, coupled with the majestic rain in summer, so that the flash flood occurs, these jade stones will roll into the river with the torrent." ”
Qin Shuyu continued: "So, when the weather is dry in spring and autumn, and the river is about to dry up and expose the mudflats, those jade farmers will come here to fish for jade?"
Zhao Fan nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Xu Qingyu couldn't help but ask, "Since these jade farmers already know the source of the jade, why don't they just go to mine the primary ore instead of waiting here for months?"
Zhao Fan said with a smile: "Mrs. Qin doesn't know, the jade is hidden deep underground, and the quantity is extremely rare, and it is very likely that it is surrounded by hard rocks, and if you want to dig out a piece of jade, the consumption is too great." “
After a pause, he sighed: "Someone once spent more than a month of hard work to finally dig out a piece of jade and hand it over to the jade merchant in the town for identification. ”
Qin Shuyu continued: "Yes, during the free period, the jade farmers will stay in the fields and work, and when the flood waters recedes, they will come to the shoals again. ”
Zhao Fan nodded and said: "Although the chance of being able to catch good jade is still not big, however, jade mining has become much easier, and the land at home has been planted with food, so there is no need to worry about starvation." ”
Xu Qingyuyu's face was slightly red and said, "Is this so..."
Qin Shuyu coughed dryly and said, "This jade source seems to have nothing to operate, and Brother Lao Zhao will take me and others to take a look at the jade merchants in the town, I have heard that your jade merchants here have been oppressed in the past few days." ”
Zhao Fan said: "Young Master Qin doesn't have to be polite. ”
As he spoke, he had already stepped on his horse and smiled at Qin Shuyu: "Now, Young Master Qin has become the hero of Yutian Town, and presumably the people in the town will be warmly welcomed. ”
Qin Shuyu also smiled and got on the horse with Xu Qingyu, and then the three of them galloped towards the streets of the town.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Qin Shuyu is the hero of Yutian Town, of course, it is not all because he resolved the crisis of Black Tiger Village.
The reputation of Black Tiger Village in the town is quite passable, at least it will not be called robbers by people, in a way, their existence, to a certain extent, deters some small families, dare not easily bully the merchants in the town.
Because, once these families do this, they will be robbed by the Black Tiger Village, and eventually lose both people and money.
However, the Black Tiger Village can never be called a patron saint.
It's just that the property they grabbed was received into their own pockets, and those merchants lost money after all, and there were still some people in the village who couldn't control their hands and feet, and Liang Tianhu didn't restrain them much.
Qin Shuyu is completely different.
First, he had preserved the only deterrent power in the town, and secondly, a large number of the families who had gathered in the town had done evil in the past, and now he had driven them away.
In this way, before these families want to come to Yutian Town to make small moves, they have to think about the relationship one more layer.
If you do this, will you offend Qin Shuyu?
......
Listening to what Zhao Fan said, the Ning family is the largest jade merchant in Yutian Town, and the head of the family, Ning Wanbang, is not only among the top in cultivation, but has reached the fourth level of the Linghai Realm, and his ability to appreciate treasures is second to none in the town.
Known as Chrysostom.
The treasure that he saw in his palm, he said how much it was worth, that is, how much it was worth, and no one would question what he said.
It just so happened that Qin Shuyu was also quite interested in how to identify the quality of a piece of jade, mainly because he wanted to personally select a piece of beautiful jade and give it to Jun Yao as a token of the fate of the two of them in this life.
After all, Qing Yu already has the ice flower hibiscus jade bracelet given by his mother, so Junyao must also have one.
According to Qin Shuyu's thoughts, he can't favor one over the other.
Now that he meets an expert in this area, he has no choice but to ask for advice.
As Zhao Fan expected, when the people in the town heard that it was the hero in their hearts who came to the market, they spontaneously gave up the middle street and stood on both sides and waved to greet each other.
For a while, the shouts of "Young Master Qin" were endless.
What's even more exaggerated is that in some corners, in front of the windowsill, there are several young and beautiful girl figures, they leak half of their small faces from time to time, with a pair of autumn water cut eyes, looking forward to the purple shadow as dazzling as the stars and moon.
Occasionally, when they looked back at Shang Qin Shuyu, they inadvertently looked at their eyes, and they would suddenly feel that their little faces were hot and their hearts trembled.
Immediately, he hid himself in a panic, and if he was not careful, he would knock his forehead.
This scene was looked at by Xu Qingyu, who was next to him and walked between the two horses.
She couldn't help pursing her lips and said sourly: "Yo, Young Master Qin is not very charming, there are so many women who fall in love with you wherever you go." ”
She didn't spare people in her hands, and her right hand secretly touched the soft flesh on Qin Shuyu's waist and twisted it fiercely.
An indescribable pain made the smile on Qin Shuyu's face stiffen, but he didn't want to ignore the enthusiasm of the people in the town.
He had to respond with a forced smile and waved his hand for a while, and then said with a wry smile: "Qingyu, what are you doing with this kind of dry vinegar, if it weren't for Zhao Fan as a demon, he suddenly howled, we would have already arrived at Ning's house." ”
Yes, as soon as the three of them stepped into the street, Zhao Fan's sentence "Qin Shuyu and Young Master Qin are here on the street" made Qin Shuyu's original idea of going to the Ning family in a low-key manner come to naught.
And the culprit has now slipped away first, because he is worried that the people in the town are afraid of him.
Xu Qingyu didn't really blame Qin Shuyu, she was just jealous, hearing this, although her lips were still pursed, her hand had already been released.
Qin Shuyu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took the jealous girl's right hand with her left hand, so as not to make another sneak attack on the beauty.
The pain in my lower back was so unbearable.
...
A distance that originally only took half a pillar of incense to complete, but Qin Shuyu and the two walked for half an hour before they struggled to squeeze out of the crowd.
After turning around and thanking the people for their enthusiasm, Qin Shuyu bolted the horse to the pillar on the side, and then entered the jewelry store opened by the Ning family on the right - Yuanyu Pavilion with Xu Qingyu.
Yuanyu Pavilion is very different from what Qin Shuyu thought in his heart, the room is relatively spacious, but it can be furnished with a sandalwood booth in the middle and sandalwood display shelves on both sides. Moreover, all the jade treasures placed on it add up to no more than a hundred.
To the name of the largest jade merchant in Yutian Town, this seems a little shabby.
However, when Qin Shuyu's gaze was projected on a pure white jade comb contained in an ink-lacquered brocade box in front of him, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Acacia mutton fat white jade comb, sold for 13,140 taels of silver.
When Xu Qingyu first saw this comb, her eyes were also shining, just because its color was as delicate and bright as clotted cream, which was very charming.
But as soon as she saw the terrifying price, her pupils shrank suddenly, and her body took several steps back directly, for fear that she would not touch it.
If you break this comb, you can't afford to sell her.
An old man with white temples dressed as a housekeeper had slowly walked over, seeing Qin Shuyu and the others with surprise on their faces, and even implicitly afraid, he shook his head with a helpless smile, and said: "Two sons and young ladies, although the jade in our Yuan Jade Pavilion is more expensive, the texture of the jade has been personally palmed by my master, and it is definitely worth the price." ”
It seemed that he was used to seeing first-time guests put on such expressions.
Hearing this, Qin Shuyu only felt that thousands of horses were galloping in his heart, this was not only expensive, it was simply more expensive than the sky.
Although he couldn't afford to pay more than 10,000 taels of silver, it was too extravagant to buy this comb.
However, on the surface, he smiled and said, "The words of the Ning family are true in Yutian Town, and they are naturally trustworthy in the future." However, I came here today, not to buy jade, but to ask Ning everyone a few questions about jade. ”
The white sideburns old man's eyes were obviously darkened, but he still greeted him with a smile and said, "I don't know who the son is..."
Qin Shuyu hugged his fists and said, "Under Qin Shuyu." ”
Immediately, he pointed to the girl behind him who had not fully recovered and said, "This is Xu Qingyu, the inner son of the next." ”
The white-sidedness old man suddenly raised his gray eyebrows, and immediately became enthusiastic, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Qin Yingying and Mrs. Qin, both blame the old man for being dizzy, but he didn't see it." ”
He stepped aside and said, "The two of you quickly follow the old man into the inner hall and sit, and the old man will immediately go and invite the old man to come over." ”
As he spoke, he bowed slightly and led Qin Shuyu and the two into the inner hall.
