Did Jia Qiang have any thoughts that she shouldn't have?

To say that there is no feeling at all is to coax people.

Just talking about the beauty of her appearance is to underestimate Daiyu, this girl is so aura, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhong Xiu, who has won the creation of heaven and earth.

Not only are the eyebrows and eyes picturesque, the eyes are like stars, and the talent is intelligent, but what is even more rare is that there is a kind and interesting heart like gold.

Although Jia Qiang read countless women in her previous life, of course, it was through the Internet......

But he had never seen a girl like this either.

Jia Min's early death was one of the biggest pains in Daiyu's life.

But now it seems that it is not all bad.

At least, Daiyu was not destroyed by the harshest etiquette of this era, and still maintained a free heart.

Freedom, in this era, is as bright as a morning star!

Is there any etiquette in her upbringing?

Absolutely, there is no doubt about it.

In the process of interacting with Jia Qiang, even though there are often paper notes, the two have not even touched their fingertips.

When speaking, the distance between each other is also at least one step away.

In words and conversations, there is never a trace of ambiguity, always pure and pure, making fun of irony......

Jia Qiang thinks that this is the best upbringing.

But so far, Daiyu did not deliberately estranged herself from him in the bottom of her heart and in the depths of her eyes because Jia Qiang was a foreign man who was about to become an adult.

It seems that for her, as long as her mind is open, as long as she can't see the thoughts that she shouldn't have in Jia Qiang's eyes, then why should she be cautious about treating each other?

If so, she will be inferior, and she will disdain it.

This is what Jia Qiang thinks Daiyu is most valuable in addition to kindness.

However, although he thinks that she is very good and has love, it is nonsense to say that he really has any thief intentions.

No matter how outstanding Daiyu is, after all, she is still just a little girl who has just entered the first grade of junior high school, and because of her perennial illness, she can't even talk about her current size......

Jia Qiang's psychological age is older than she has been for more than one round, and she is not a pervert of "three years of blood earning, and the death penalty is not lost", how can she be full of cranky thoughts?

For now, he only regards Daiyu as a girl next door who is full of spirit and kindness.

And he believes that getting along like this now is actually the most comfortable, and if it is close, it is not inferior to that of far.

So, it's best to go with the flow.

……

"Master, someone has been following behind."

Coming out of the Yamen of the Yanyuan, just after crossing the Wenjin Bridge on the Wen River, Li Jing, who was dressed as a man, whispered.

When Jia Qiang heard this, she frowned and looked back, and saw several people hurriedly bowing their heads, either looking at the sky, or looking at the ground, or asking the price with the street vendors......

Li Jing said: "Not only this time, but the iron head said that the first time they went out, they felt that no matter where they went, there were people behind them. ”

Jia Qiang said in a deep voice: "Did you reveal malicious intent? ”

Li Jing shook her head and said, "That's not true. However, Tietou said that they inquired about the second master of the Jia family, and according to them, when the second master of Lian went out, there were also many people behind him. ”

Jia Qiang frowned as she walked forward slowly: "I forgot to ask these days, where has Jia Lian's family been happy lately?" ”

Since entering the Yamen of the Yanyuan, he has never seen Jia Lian again, and he has only faintly heard a few words, this second master Lian from the Guogong Mansion in the capital is about to turn over in Yangzhou.

In short, like a fish in water.

Li Jing smiled: "Then who knows? However, didn't Tietou have a good relationship with the salt ladies of the Yamen of the Salt Courtyard, but he heard about it. The Jia family's lamp is really not fuel-efficient, there are so many painting boats on the Slender West Lake that are not enough for him to visit, and he seems to have met a lady from the prison in Yangzhou Mansion in the past few days...... Master, the one in the Jia family is really fishy. ”

Jia Qiang sneered and said, "Disciple of the Gaomen, what's good?" What's all the fuss. Ignore them, let's go shopping first. ”

As for the people who followed behind, he probably had some numbers in his heart.

Most of them are the eyes and ears of Yangzhou salt merchants.

As the highest-ranking official of Yangzhou Prefecture, Yanyuan Yamen is also the most powerful government office in the Jiangnan provinces, and it is not surprising that there are people watching it everywhere.

In particular, Lin Ruhai had a serious illness and almost died, although it is faintly rumored that he has been rescued, any movement in the Yamen of the Salt Courtyard is still the most important thing for the salt merchants in Yangzhou.

But as long as no one dares to have any evil intentions, Jia Qiang thinks that there is no need to pay too much attention to it.

……

Along the way, it was quite an eye-opener.

The street is prosperous, the merchants are numerous, the industry is complete, and the business is prosperous.

There are nearly 100 Lu Chenxing, Oil and Rice Fang, Fresh Fish Shop, Eight Fresh Shops, Melon and Fruit Shops, and Bamboo and Wood Shops, and there are nearly 100 of them, and the sounds of selling, bargaining, praise, and quarrels are in the ears, outlining a prosperous scene.

Of course, this scene only appeared in Yangzhou, the richest place in the world.

Wrapped around his waist for 100,000 yuan, he rode a crane down to Yangzhou.

It has been rich since ancient times, so it is not representative.

Since the canal went south, the scene of poverty still accounted for most of the way.

"Master, this is the ice room."

When passing by a small but luxurious storefront, Li Jing reminded Jia Qiang.

Jia Qiang looked at it and saw that there was indeed a plaque hanging on the lintel of the door shop here, with the four big characters "Feng's Ice Room" written on it.

Even the colors on the carved flowers on the side of the door are actually carved in the shape of ice flowers.

He was a little incredible, although he knew in his previous life that although Yangzhou was south of the Huai River, it also snowed almost every year.

It's just that the cold in the south is different from that in the north, and although the weather in the south will drop below zero in winter, the rivers rarely freeze, let alone freeze out a few feet of ice, and the icemen dig it up and store it.

Even if there is ice in the south, it is difficult to survive.

Li Jing said with a smile: "I also inquired a while ago, it is said that in winter, they transported clear water to the high mountains to freeze all night, and after it froze into solid ice, they dug deep cellars in the woods below the mountains to hide it. In this way, take ten points, and you will always get four points in the end. However, because of the huge cost of consumption, the ice in the ice room is not affordable for ordinary people with solid backgrounds. The ice room in the capital costs five taels of silver (about 100 catties), but Yangzhou costs fifteen taels! Except for those wealthy merchants, no one can afford it. However, because there are too many rich people in Yangzhou, although the price of ice in the ice room is high, it is in short supply. And at this time, almost half of the ice storage is used, and the demand is not decreasing, so the price is even higher. ”

Jia Qiang was curious and asked, "The weather in Yangzhou is cool at this time, and it is the most comfortable time of the year, how can you use a lot of ice?" Did the salt merchants use ice for salt? ”

Li Jing smiled: "It's not, in addition to doing some ice work to satisfy the hunger of the inner family, there is also ice wine to use at the banquet." It is said that the salt merchants in Yangzhou are so rich that they eat not Dayan's wine and still need to be warm, but Western red wine, which needs to be drunk with ice to drink. And they were so fond of drinking and feasting that they used ice abundantly. In addition, if someone dies, the body also needs to be chilled to prevent decay. Rich and noble families spend more time storing, and the ice used is more and more sea. So the business of this ice house is very good! Even if you give money, you can only sell ice in limited quantities. That's all for a day, and it's gone when it's sold out.

It's just that the cost is too much, and the manpower, material resources and relationships must also be in place. Therefore, Yangzhou's ice house business has always been in the hands of two Yangzhou families. The first is the Feng family, the Feng family has served as the manager of the Yangzhou Mansion for generations, and is in charge of the soldiers, the people's strength, the military test, public security and other things. The second is the Xu family, who has been in charge of Yangzhou Mansion for nearly three generations, taking charge of household management, taxation and grain payment, and disaster relief. ”

Jia Qiang smiled: "It's only been a few days, you can inquire clearly." With that, he looked up at the door of the ice room again, bowed slightly, and continued to walk along the street.

Li Jing followed, and said proudly: "What am I doing?" But he explained with a smile: "It's not my ability, Xin Wuye, the leader of Yangzhou Humen Dart Bureau, is my father's old friend, and I went to visit in the name of my father, so it is naturally easier to get the news." If he hadn't known that my father couldn't get in the yamen of the salt courtyard, he would have brought his fellow Yangzhou green forests to visit back and forth. ”

Jia Qiang smiled unexpectedly: "You mean, your father is still the boss of the green forest?" When he gives an order, how many people can rush? ”

Li Jing tugged at the corners of her mouth, and said angrily: "This makes people listen to it, you have to laugh off your big teeth." ”

Jia Qiang raised her eyebrows and said, "Laugh at me? ”

Li Jing shook her head and said, "It's laughing at my Jinsha Gang!" My dad can have some names, but because there are many people who have come and gone from the south to the north over the years, and these people also have a time when they go to the capital, after they arrive in the capital, whenever they encounter difficulties, my father can help, even if they can't help, they don't let people go empty-handed, and often solve people's difficulties, so they have left a little name on the rivers and lakes. But as Ye once said, the rivers and lakes are actually just a kind of livelihood to make a living. There is a way to help each other and support each other, and to raise each other's reputation, as for an order, the heroes respond, how can it be ......"

Jia Qiang smiled: "It's good to hear these news." Otherwise, it will take some time for us to open a road in Yangzhou. ”

Li Jing smiled and said softly, "Is the master still planning to sell the son?" It's the same as selling dyeing cloth recipes, selling to the Feng family and the Xu family? ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "The water in the capital is deep, and there is a giant gate standing behind any businessman. We are not afraid, but it is not worth it to offend them in order to earn some money. But this place is Yangzhou, and the atmosphere is much more open. Although the industries that make money have long been monopolized by the wang family, it is difficult for ordinary people to get ahead. But for us, there is no such problem. ”

Li Jing smiled: "Then are we going to do it ourselves this time?" With Aunt Lin's father here, none of us are afraid! ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "If the ice-making recipe is guarded, it will be a lucrative business, and the further south you go, the greater the profit, but the more eye-catching it will be." It would be fine if his uncle was stationed in Yangzhou Mansion, but his old man will return to Beijing next spring at the latest. Without my aunt and grandfather, our business will not last long. So, it's better to work with people, just don't sell people. However, whether to cooperate with the Feng family or the Xu family depends on who knows the goods. ”

Whether in the past life or in this life, if you want to do business in this land, you will always be the first in terms of relationships, and the quality of the goods will not even rank in the top three.

Without this foundation, a difficult imp can kill a bunch of immortals......

Therefore, choosing a big family to cooperate will save a lot of things.

Li Jing was curious when she heard this: "That's what they do, why don't they know the goods?" ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "They are different from the Hengsheng Wang family and the Dongsheng Zhao family, the Feng family and the Xu family are only Yangzhou wang clans, and they are still only sold in Yangzhou when they get Fangzi, and it is difficult for their power to get out of a place." And they have their own way of getting ice, and they have invested a lot of silver. Let them give me a large sum of money in exchange for a new way, but they may not be willing. Don't rush for now, let's take a look. As long as the ice in Yangzhou is in short supply, we will not lack collaborators. ”

Li Jing was a little frustrated and said, "However, the silver we brought is about to run out......"

"Don't worry, I have my own measure."
