Chapter 184: Big Boss Gu!
Chapter 184: Big Boss Gu!
In June, the weather in the capital is hot, the sun hangs high, and even the cicadas are hot.
Fortunately, the county lord's mansion has finally been renovated, and several courtyards surround a lush garden, which can also escape the heat.
Gu Xinyue did not go to Zhuangzi, but stayed in the capital.
One is to take care of business, and the other is to listen to gossip.
In June, there was a major event in the palace, Wei Juan, who had been pregnant for more than ten months, had a difficult birth, and died with one child and two lives.
Wei Juan has already passed the due date, but she has not been born, and there are many legends outside, saying that this son is precious, and even Xiao Wei's nostrils are warped to the sky.
As soon as this man died, as soon as he received the news, Little Webster fainted.
But that's the beginning.
When packing up Wei Juan's relics, the palace people actually found out the villain used for the curse, and it was written on the eight characters of Concubine Shu's birthday.
As soon as this incident came out, there was an uproar in the front hall and the harem.
The matter of the witch cup is the most taboo thing in the royal family, that is, Wei Juan is dead, and this matter has also been disturbed, and some people even point to Wei Ge Lao and Wei Zhao, thinking that Wei Jia has bad intentions.
Wei Ge Lao and Wei Zhao went to the same time to play a setback, and asked themselves to avoid suspicion at home, waiting for the matter to be clarified.
The two stayed at home for only two days, and the wind of the palace investigation changed.
said that someone deliberately put that thing in Wei Juan's house, taking advantage of her death to frame her, so that several concubines were pulled out.
Chu Yu directly killed the concubines and the family members behind them, and personally went to the door of the Wei family to invite Wei Ge Lao and Wei Zhao to come out of the mountain, but at the same time, he dismissed Wei Shilang from his position and demoted him to a commoner, and even deprived Xiao Wei's edict of all his orders, so that Wei Shilang and Xiao Wei reflected at home.
The reason is.
In order to publicize that the prince of Wei Juan is a precious life, he deliberately delayed Wei Juan's birth time, causing Wei Juan to have a difficult birth.
There were disturbances, big waves, and the whole capital was in turmoil for a month.
Just thinking about the two guys who claimed to have been thinking behind closed doors for the past two days, they were actually rubbing the air-conditioned room in their own mansion, but Gu Xinyue was not worried about Wei Zhao at all.
Although the county lord's mansion does not have a lake in the national government's mansion, there is a small stream that winds around the river from the Bianhe River.
Gu Xinyue asked someone to dig a pit, build a small house with colored glass, and lead the stream to gather in the pit, and then slowly flow out.
A breeze blows, that cool.
In those two days, Wei Zhao moved a bunch of official documents and lived in that hut.
He didn't shy away from Gu Xinyue, and when he was free, he also told Gu Xinyue that Chu Yu ordered that half of this year's salt tea should be divided into half as the food payment for entering the customs.
Just two days after he said this, a grain merchant from Hedong Province who was bitter by his guidance came to Jubaozhai and asked him if the lead strip in his hand could be mortgaged.
Gu Dong had already received Gu Xinyue's instructions, and the value of the grain merchant's quotation was only 100,000, so he purchased it at a price of 90,000 yuan on the spot.
The grain merchant was overjoyed, and led several other grain merchants who were as distressed as him to sell the lead strip in their hands to Jubao Zhai.
In July, Zhang Dong returned to the capital from Jiangnan.
brought back a large number of pepper and spices, as well as 100,000 catties of tea.
At the same time, there were two million taels of silver.
Because of the new law of the imperial court, the introduction strip in Jiangnan was shortaged, and many salt merchants and tea merchants could not get the quotation strip, and the price of the quotation was almost doubled, and the 700,000 silver quotation strip removed 200,000 catties of tea, and the remaining 540,000 taels of silver quotation were directly sold for 1 million taels.
The clothes brought over were all sold to that person in the name of embroidery boutiques, and the jewelry and treasures were sold to several big silver buildings, for a total of 700,000 taels, and the remaining fur clothes that were picked by Gu Xinyue were also sold for 300,000 taels because they were rare.
And those pepper spices, in order to sell quickly, were directly sold for 14 taels of pepper and 6 taels of sumu, but most of them were sold in just a few days, and a total of 1.5 million taels of silver were returned.
That's 3.5 million taels.
It's an overnight rich!
Gu Xinyue gave 1 million taels of cash to Zisu as the base silver of Jubao Zhai, and sent 1.5 million taels to Ganzhou, and most of the rest was exchanged for silver tickets and collected into the space.
Holding the money at night, you will wake up laughing when you laugh.
According to the construction of perilla, Gu Xinyue gave Shopkeeper Zhang 2,000 taels of silver as a dividend, and Shopkeeper Zhang was surprised, he didn't go home, and went to Jiangnan again with the newly collected lead.
Soon after, Ji Jing returned.
According to Gu Xinyue's method, Zhuangzi in Huainan and Jiangnan both had a bumper harvest, and Ji Jing handed over the cotton to the newly established garment factory on Zhuangzi to make cotton clothes, and all the grain was brought back.
He also united two large grain merchants in the south of the Yangtze River to bring a total of 800,000 quintals of grain, ready to be shipped directly to Ganzhou.
When he heard that Gu Xinyue still had 100,000 catties of tea in his hand, Ji Jing's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and said, "Girl, it's better to hand over these 100,000 catties of tea to Zaixia, take them to Ganzhou together, and sell them to the Western Regions, at least three to five times the profit." ”
After Gu Mohan killed those horse thieves, the road to the Western Regions was originally open, but after the battle with Rouran, the relationship between the two sides was extremely tense, and that section of the road was a little dangerous.
What's more, because of the military salary and General Luo, Ganzhou is not stable, and he is interested in that set of technologies, so there is no concern on the Ganzhou side, it is the caravan that goes there, and it is also the person Gu Xinyue himself found to lead the team.
However, anyway, he has to go to Ganzhou, but he can also bring these 100,000 catties of tea, but he can't go to the Western Regions, and he can get a lot of money by selling it in Ganzhou.
That money, if you think about it, Gu Xinyue doesn't care about it, and he uses it on Gu Mohan.
"Girl!" Seeing Gu Xinyue's eyes rolling wildly, Zi Su called out lightly and stared at her with his eyes.
Don't have a bad idea!
"Well, you see, this Western Regions has been a trade route since ancient times, our tea and silk are what they need, and their gems, wine, and other things are also what we need." Gu Xinyue looked at Ji Jing, but actually explained to Zisu: "Besides, there are watermelons over there!" Uh, it's called courgette! That's the most heat-relieving thing in hot weather, let's get the seeds back and plant them successfully, isn't it another industry? ”
Ji Jing was stunned for a moment and said, "What does the girl mean?" ”
"I'll go with you! It just so happens that I haven't seen my brother in a few days! Gu Xinyue said with a smile on her face.
Shiso unconsciously supported his forehead.
I know this girl's idea!
After coming back from Jingdong Road, this girl looked like she couldn't sit still, if it weren't for the changes in the capital in the past two months, Jubao Zhai had just been on the right path, she was afraid that she would have run away.
Now, Jubao Zhai's deposit business has quietly expanded, although the loan business is not good, but the business of exchange is thriving!
I knew that it would be no good for her to give the million taels to herself!
"You're with me?" Ji Jing was surprised: "Girl, isn't this okay?" ”
You're the county lord! Or the county lord in the filial piety period! It doesn't matter if you run Zhuangzi or something, but this time it's so far to Ganzhou!
"If you bring me, I will bring the 100,000 catties of tea with me, and you can also give me another money to make military salaries!" Gu Xinyue smiled innocently: "I remember, the money my brother took in the past is almost running out, right?" ”
"Good! Prepare the girl, and we'll set off the day after tomorrow. Ji Jing didn't ramble anymore and said directly.
Seeing Gu Xinyue cocking her fingers and smiling proudly, Zi Su's heart suddenly felt a trace of sourness.
yes, how did she forget about it?
For Gu Xinyue, Gu Mohan is her most important brother......
