After the order, Chen Wenhui left Cui Qiao and the disciples of the Hei family, and Steward Tian discussed how to farm here, and she went to the small Zhuangzi behind the mountain with Zhao Chongyi. Along the way, the mountain scenery is very beautiful, there is a thick green everywhere, and a small road is also well built, and the carriage can walk lightly.

It didn't take long to arrive at Xiaozhuangzi. The copper hammer had already arrived early, standing at the gate of a small courtyard and waiting. It is said that it is a small yard, and it is also the size of three entrances, but it is not as beautiful as the big Zhuangzi's house, and the scale is not inferior at all. There are also a lot of houses, and there are some sergeants living in this house at the moment, which should be the people brought by Zhao Chongyi, because it is inconvenient to live in the capital, so they are arranged here.

Chen Wenhui followed the bronze hammer Zhao Chongyi into the main room of the house, opened a big lock, and entered the room. I saw three large boxes on the ground. It's all locked. The copper hammer walked over and opened them one by one, only to see that they were all treasured vessels, dazzling and shining.

Chen Wenhui took Qiu Bi to look at it seriously, and said while looking at it: "This is beeswax jewelry, very exotic taste, this is a red gold gemstone wine jug, the gems on it are really big and good, but they are not well maintained, if you take good care of it, it will definitely increase in value." This is the goshawk mirror in the sky, it is also inlaid with so many gems, but the mirror is a bronze mirror, can not see people clearly, than the treasure mirror produced by our family is far worse, but the gems on it are very large, the workmanship is also superior, very collectible. This is the wrench of mutton fat jade, and this color is really good. ”

Qiu Bi also said: "This knife made of gems should be used by barbarians to cut meat when they eat meat, and there is a big sheep fat jade owed on the scabbard, and the value will not be low." This is porcelain, a complete set of porcelain plates, but it is difficult to transport it so far away and still preserve it so well. This pattern, ah, really. Is it produced by the previous dynasty, or is it from the official kiln? This set of porcelain is worth four or five thousand taels of silver. And this. These jewelry, the style is simple, and the inlaid jade is of the highest quality, which should be the stuff of the royal family of the previous dynasty. These are now worth a lot of money and sell well. ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "The previous dynasty was weak and once married the princess, so it is not surprising that this barbarian tribe has these artifacts from the previous dynasty." ”

Chen Wenhui nodded. She and Qiubi carefully checked everything. Finding that it was really worth a lot, Chen Wenhui asked: "Why is there no gold and silver here?" Are they all these treasures? ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "There is not much gold and silver, only more than 30,000 taels, and I will put it in your bank." Now the silver ticket is in my house, and tomorrow I will have someone send it to you. ”

Chen Wenhui was a little strange: "Why do I think you got all the treasures of the barbarians?" ”

Zhao Chongyi said with a smile: "Among these three boxes, there is probably only one box that belongs to me." The remaining two boxes were exchanged by me and the soldiers. I have more gold and silver in my hand, and I have more life, so I exchanged gold and silver for these treasures, and you know, those soldiers know these antiques. They don't know the value of the utensils, even the precious stones, but only gold and silver. So. I was not happy to get these artifacts and treasures, so I exchanged gold and silver with them, and they were very happy, after all, gold and silver can be used immediately, and they don't understand the value of these utensils, and second, there is no way to make a move, and third, even if there is a way, the mountains and rivers are far away. I can't get it back, it's still gold and silver. Or maybe it's convenient to carry a silver ticket. ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it too, and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't see it." You're still very business-minded. It's just, why do you have so much gold and silver? ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "Originally, I got a lot of it myself, and some of the imperial gifts, the military department's rewards, and some of the rewards my father gave me in private. Speaking of which, my father was very kind to me, not only buying me this little Zhuangzi, but also often giving me silver. That is, my father took good care of me, so that I could live well without being angry with my grandmother in the mansion. ”

At this moment, Chen Wenhui understood, and Zhao Chongyi said with some embarrassment: "Originally, I thought I was pitiful, but after looking at King Jin, I felt that as a prince, he was not as good as me." Although the two of us are in the same situation, and he is a prince, I am just a concubine, but although I have no biological mother, I have a father who loves me. As for him, not only does he not have a biological mother, but the emperor is also not good to him, very partial. It's pathetic. ”

Chen Wenhui thought of Liu Yan's cold appearance, probably because of this growth environment, which created his cold heart.

Chen Wenhui said: "There are too many bloody plots between this sister-in-law and concubine, and my father and mother are deeply affected by it, so my mother stipulated that my two elder brothers are not allowed to marry concubines." Our Xiao Chen family does not have such a thing as a concubine. ”

Zhao Chongyi was shocked, what did Wen Hui mean by telling him? He hurriedly said, "I think so too. My mother-in-law is not bad, she followed my father and suffered a lot, but when she became rich and rich, and my father got a bunch of concubines at home, can my mother-in-law not be angry? So she took action against the concubine, and my biological mother also tortured her and died, of course I hated her, but she was also a poor person. Therefore, the best way is to have no concubines and concubines, so is it not good for the family to be harmonious? It's like your family, you don't know how envious King Jin and I are. Therefore, I have long decided that I must live in harmony with my wife, and I will never find a concubine to have sex or anything like that. I don't have a maid to serve in the northwest, everyone knows this, I just have two needlewomen in the house in Tiebiguan, and there are no maids. ”

Chen Wenhui was secretly happy when she heard this, but there was no expression on her face, she glanced at Zhao Chongyi and said, "I'm just gossiping about this, who cares if you have a maid or not?" ”

Zhao Chongyi grinned and looked at Chen Wenhui, Chen Wenhui was embarrassed to see it, and couldn't help but move to look at Qiu Bi's total accounts, and asked, "How is it, is it estimated?" ”

Qiu Bi said after a while: "I roughly estimated, there are about 1450,000 taels of silver, if the auction is good, there can be more." ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "Well, it's a little more than I estimated, and my estimate is about 100,000 taels of silver." ”

Qiu Bi said: "If you just sell it to the shop, it will naturally be less, and you may not be able to find a shop that can eat all these things at one time, but because of the auction house, there is no problem at all, and there is no problem if it is ten times more than this." Moreover, exotic things are very popular nowadays, and they should be able to fetch a good price. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "That's fine, Brother Yi, you should keep your gold and silver." Don't give it all to me, you take it to the northwest, anyway, the silver ticket is not tiring, when the time comes, you can take the gold and silver and exchange things with your comrades, we are responsible for helping you sell it, when the time comes, transport it back to the capital and hand it over to Cuiqiao. Isn't this more money to make, and your capital is more, so we can't do more things? ”

Chen Wenhui, Zhao Chongyi, who we said in two words, was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Hui'er, you are really good at business." Your arrangement is very good, not only for those soldiers who want to sell what they have in their hands, but also for people like us who have a way. With more money, I can take care of a few more of my colleagues. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "This batch of auctions, I will take these 100,000 taels of silver, which is enough for you to build a big manor in Nanyang, although it cannot be called a city, it is also a small town." How many positions will there be then? You can arrange for more people to come over. By the way, do you have anyone to arrange now? If there is, we will bring it with us this time, so that it is easier to manage your property, and it is better to have more guards, because when a town is first established, guards are the most important. ”

This Zhao Chongyi understood, and immediately said: "I have a lot of people, and I usually arrange them in Zhuangzi in the Gyeonggi area. However, it is not my Zhuangzi, it is my father's big Zhuangzi, and that Zhuangzi not only arranges my people, but also arranges many of my eldest brother's people and my father's people. All retreated from the battlefield. I'll pick some for you to take with you. How much is needed. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled: "In the early days of entrepreneurship, naturally the more people the better, I hope you can find someone who can shock these sergeants to lead the team, so that I can arrange a good position for you as many people as possible, and they will definitely live a better life than now." ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "There is this, they are very disciplined, although they have retired from the army, they are still very obedient to orders, and my people are all handed over to my former eldest brother in the army, deputy general Tian Dali. He brought it well, and I'll take him to you tomorrow. I can give you 300 people first, but they are all with their families, probably more than 1,000 people with their families, can you arrange them all? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "There is no problem at all. These people are not enough, and I have to buy you some more prisoners of war, slaves, etc., to help you work. ”

Zhao Chongyi nodded, it seems that Chen Wenhui will definitely be able to arrange it very well.

The two of them walked out of the Zhuangzi, and Chen Wenhui said, "You sent someone to send these things to the Qi family's auction house, right?" Send it this afternoon, I'll let Qiu Bi go with me, and leave the handover with the Qi family to Qiu Bi. ”

Zhao Chongyi hurriedly ordered people to transport these three boxes of things to the Qi family auction house in the capital with Qiu Bi.

Chen Wenhui asked: "These treasures of great value are transported over like this, what should I do about safety?" ”

Zhao Chongyi laughed: "Hui'er, don't worry about this, the people who transport things here are all experienced sergeants, where would you be afraid of the thieves who cut the path?" (To be continued)
