At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves, Jing Xiaotian couldn't help laughing, looked at Lin Zhi and said, "These people, they really don't talk casually, I think they smelled the fragrance of the food, and quickly ran back." ”

When people entered the courtyard, Jing Xiaotian found that except for Ah Zhong, Ma Qin only brought two people back.

I couldn't help but ask worriedly, "What's the matter?" ”

"Oh, that's right." Ma Qin hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "We went around the market for a day, and then, we went directly to the blacksmith shop and wrapped up the things there. And let them send the goods directly to the Ziyang Territory. ”

"Oh." When Jing Xiaotian heard this, he immediately came in with interest and said, "Well, this is a good idea, and it also saves the need to buy those carriages and horses like Zhao Dan and them." ”

At this time, Ah Zhong couldn't help but smile innocently, his eyes flashed with excitement, making people feel that the best was yet to come!

"Thank you, Lord for the compliment!" Ma Qin was recognized by Jing Xiaotian, and said more energetically: "The minions have already urged the people in the blacksmith shop to pull things on the road, and by the way, they sent oil, salt, and caustic soda to the Ziyang Territory, and directly sent some people to follow back." Leaving two strong ones back here to protect the lord, I hurried back to make things clear and at the same time return the silver to the lord. ”

As he spoke, he carefully took out the gold that Haitian had given to Jing Xiaotian from his bosom and offered it with both hands.

"Huh?" Jing Xiaotian felt a little strange, took the silver and glanced at it, and found that it was not spent at all.

I couldn't help asking, "What did you buy without spending money?" ”

At this time, Ah Zhong, who has always been silent, couldn't help but say: "This Ma Qin, he is really shrewd, when he bought ironware, he actually found the blacksmith shop directly, had a meal with the master's family, and carefully calculated an account for the man, as a result, the man immediately recognized Ma Qin's method of exchanging sheep for ironware, and voluntarily bought some oil, salt, and caustic soda from the shop he knew at a low price, and sent them to Ziyang Territory. ”

"When I leave, I will pay out of my own pocket and invite all of us to have a full meal."

"This Ma Qin is really a capable person, with such a person to help, Sister Jing can save a lot of heart!"

As he spoke, he looked at Ma Qin approvingly.

Ah Zhong's fierce praise made Ma Qin a little embarrassed.

"Could this be the legendary white wolf with empty gloves?" Jing Xiaotian felt a little incredible, scratched his head lightly, and ordered: "Ma Qin, tell me, what kind of account is this?" ”

Ma Qin smiled and said: "Lord, the sheep on the grassland are not very valuable, like pasture, they grow one stubble after another. ”

"But there is a shortage of iron tools on the grassland, and when there is an urgent need, a shovel or a pickaxe can be exchanged for a sheep." “

"However, when I went to the market, I found that in this place, mutton was very valuable, so I calculated with the owner of the blacksmith shop that if he exchanged iron for sheep, he would be able to quadruple the money he made in this business, although he had to eat some hardship."

"And we, after getting the iron tools, will go to the depths of the grassland to exchange for sheep, so that in addition to the means of production to be used, we can also exchange for at least twenty more sheep, so that both of us will earn."

"If this kind of trade is done for a long time and becomes bigger, our territory will soon be full of sheep, and there will be more mountains and ravines than we can count. And this blacksmith will also make more money, and he likes this business, so he will treat us all to dinner, but when I go back, I will also slaughter sheep for him. He's also a cheerful guy, and I like him a lot. ”

"Oh my God, it's still a win-win! I would also like! Jing Xiaotian was relieved when he heard Ma Qin's detailed explanation.

I was secretly ashamed in my heart: if I really talked about doing business, this Ma Qin was obviously much more shrewd than himself, and he was used to spending money to buy goods, and he really didn't think that this way of bartering would make him earn more.

Immediately Zhengse said: "Ma Qin, you are very talented, from now on, I will appoint you as the general manager of the Ziyang Territory, and all the daily affairs of the Ziyang Territory, including ushering in and sending off, income and expenditure, will be managed by you in a unified manner." ”

When Ma Qin heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and quickly reacted, quickly knelt down, kowtowed, and thanked him: "The slave thanks the lord for his trust!" We must do our best and do our best. ”

"Can you write?" Jing Xiaotian suddenly said this.

Ma Qin lowered his head a little ashamedly: "Back to the lord, the slave doesn't know how to read." ”

"Oh, it's okay, I'll teach you later." Jing Xiaotian said with a big grin, and he also felt that the question just now was a bit reckless, and after a little brain, he could guess how a slave who had been letting go of horses for Haitian could read and write!

Seeing that Jing Xiaotian didn't say anything more, Ma Qin hurriedly asked, "Lord, the slave wants to rush back to the Ziyang Territory now to receive those goods." ”

"Good! Just hard work for you. Oh, bring this money with you, and in the future, you can directly call the shots for the exchange of goods and money, and report to me regularly. ”

Jing Xiaotian is a person who is willing to delegate power, and with such a capable person to help her make money, she is happy to make time and do what she likes.

"It is the duty of a slave to do things for the lord, and the slave is one step ahead." Ma Qin said, happily Pegasus chasing after the goods.

A person's value is affirmed, and the feeling of fullness and happiness in his heart cannot be replaced by anything else, and at this time, Ma Qin is immersed in such happiness. He didn't even hear Jing Xiaotian ask him to leave after dinner.

He was so excited, he thought that he would stay on the grassland for the rest of his life, but now he found that the world was so vast and colorful, which was really an unexpected joy.

And the way to broaden your horizons is actually so simple, as long as you are bold and go a little farther, a little further.

People came and left, the Lin family's old house finally quieted down again, at this time, Jing Xiaotian felt extremely tired, she was really tired, she originally thought, get up at night to feed those golden pheasants, but slept until dawn, not even a dream.

After waking up early, Jing Xiaotian sat in the room a little lazily and waited for breakfast, and his heart suddenly felt infinite feelings.

Although she desperately wants to make money, what she really likes is this simple, leisurely home life, with the love of her parents, the company of her siblings, she doesn't have to think about anything, she doesn't have to worry about anything, she stretches out her hands for clothes, opens her mouth for food, and is carefree all day long.

Just like before, I follow Jin Hexi's side every day, laughing and playing together, and the time is as beautiful as a cheerful and clear stream, flowing with a tinkling sound.

When he thought of Jin Hexi, Jing Xiaotian suddenly sighed slightly.

It's really strange to say, Jing Xiaotian, who has always been very arrogant and heartless, has an indescribable concern and attachment to Jin Hexi.
